Family Drama Part 1: Start of a New Day

It was the time between night and day that Twilight awoke to the wonderful sensation of another mare pressed up against her body, their wings practically wrapped around the other in an embrace, providing extra warmth and stability. To her, it was even more wonderful than the magic flowing through her at her magical peak. But, she had found a...side effect to her attachment to Rainbow over the past week. She was so used to the presence of her pegasus that when Rainbow had worked late setting up a storm in Ponyville a few days ago, the alicorn had found herself unable to sleep at all. She didn’t know whether that was a good sign, or a bad one.

Truthfully, the alicorn wanted Rainbow to quit her job as a weathermare so they could spend more time together…and find a less dangerous job for the pegasus. Twilight shuttered at the thought of how a single stray bolt of lightning could do to Rainbow and their foal.

Then there was her flying. While Rainbow had agreed with Twilight to lay off the stunts and come in for normal landings instead of ones meant to stop on a bit at triple digit speeds, she still did the occasional loop that made Twilight wondering what else the pegasus did while flying around on the job. Memories Rainbow Dash laying in that hospital that one time when her wing was injured had been running through her mind lately, and although the time at Rainbow Falls had been fake, it still seemed to come up as a possible ending to a bad day’s flight for Twilight’s pegasus.

If Rainbow were to have an accident that hurt the baby… Twilight stifled a gasp of panic as images that came to her mind of Rainbow Dash in the hospital’s operating room, and another of them both in recovery while the doctor told the ponies the bad news, followed by weeks and months, and years of the two of them just sitting around, absolutely devastated.

Or, would the accident cause them to separate?

Twilight didn’t even want to consider the thought, but if Rainbow did have an accident that ended the pregnancy…would she blame the pegasus and leave her? She didn’t knew where Rainbow would go. Her old home had been recycled into a shower for the town a few days after she moved into the palace, but…living with the mare that got their foal killed…even Twilight didn’t know what that would be like. She didn’t want to know. Even the thought of being angry at Rainbow for such a thing made her feel sick.

Of course, there was a way to insure that none of that ever happened…

All she would have to do…

Was take away Rainbow wings.

Twilight flinched as the thought came to mind for the eighth time since she had Rainbow had gotten together. She didn’t want to think about the idea, but it came anyway thanks to her bucking habit of considering all the possibilities. And, Twilight had to admit that it really would solve all her worries in regards to the dangers to their foal. Without the ability to fly, Rainbow Dash wouldn’t be in danger from the odd lightning strike or from crashing. She couldn’t get hurt flying into trees, or get run into by a helicopter

Plus, they could stay together in the castle all day, making love and doing things couples did and a dozen other perfectly safe activities.

And so, like she had done every morning the alicorn awake to find Rainbow Dash sleeping. Twilight considered using her full power to simply removing Rainbow Dash’s wings from existence.

Rainbow would be angry with her, but...forgiveness would come in time. Well, if Rainbow wasn’t so angry at Twilight that she broke up with her, and ran away from the alicorn in a fit of rage and out of revenge when Twilight refused to undo the magic and act as the center point for the Magic of Friendship like when they fixed the alicorn’s gender problem.

And there was always the possibility of magical contamination if she used magic to simply remove Rainbow’s wings. Which was the only option as far as Twilight was concerned. Just thinking about doing something like…that the earth pony way had managed to keep such thoughts from coming back into her mind for forty-eight hours.

Okay Twilight, calm down and think about this rationally, the alicorn told herself while bringing up all the statistics on Rainbow and pegasus flight in general. The one time her pegasus had been put in the hospital was because her wing had gotten snagged by a tree and Rainbow had been yanked around hard enough to injure something. When it came to impacts, a pegasus’s magic protected them from harm. The faster they went, the safer the were. And Rainbow is the fastest pegasus alive, so that means she’s the safest too.

She had seen Rainbow knock down trees, break boulders, blow up barns with the concussive force of her impact, and walk away from a dozen other things that would have left a unicorn in the hospital with shattered bones and no hope of recovery. Even when there was an accident and the pegasus went face first into solid objects that didn’t shatter and had no give like a magical force field, she got right back up with little more than a bruise and some wobbly flying.

“So there’s nothing to worry about…nothing at all. The chances of something happening are less than three percent…barring any ancient evil rising from its imprisonment to try and-”

“Egghead?”

The moan of a word broke Twilight out of her apocalyptic battle calculations, and she brought her attention back to reality before giving the room a soft illumination to see Rainbow Dash staring at her from the other pillow. Then Twilight licked her dry lips to speak. “I’m sorry, did I wake you?” Idiot! She needs her sleep! Stop waking her up so bucking early. And stop talking to yourself, focus on her! She’s the one with the foal!

Rainbow shifted a little bit. “Yeah, but…not really right for me to be sleeping when you have to wake up every morning before dawn,” she told her fillyfriend.

We really should fix that, Twilight told herself in regards to how she thought of her Rainbow. She had no doubt in her mind that they were going to marry. Unless…Twilight did something to screw it up of course.

But…should she ask? Or is she waiting for me to pop the question? the alicorn wondered

Out of the two of them, Twilight had to admit that Rainbow seemed to be the one to lead the relationship. While the princess could pull herself together for Equestria’s sake, things involving Rainbow had made her so hesitant and panic stricken she couldn’t even think properly when they faced their first…surprise as a couple. Rainbow on the other hoof had been so decisive, she had flown to Cloudsdale and gotten sole custody of her child when she thought it was between her and Soarin an hour after learning about it.

That memory had brought another thought to the forefront of Twilight’s mind. Fluttershy had been so sure that Rainbow was getting married because of something that happened with her own parents.

Something Twilight knew she needed to ask her about…

“Rainbow?”

“Yeah?”

“…do you want to have sex?”

…tomorrow. Twilight would ask her about it tomorrow.

Right now, Twilight just wanted to taste the proof that Rainbow loved her.

Rainbow Dash smiled. “Is the sky blue?”

Twilight moved in to kiss her pegasus on the lips and took a moment to drag her tongue across the outer surface of Rainbow’s mouth. Morning breath or not, Twilight still loved the taste of her fillyfriend. Even if the ‘taste’ was based more off an emotional response and the release of other chemicals in the alicorn’s brain that came with how Rainbow reciprocated her physical advances.

“So…I was hoping…we could try the ropes again.”

The tightening of Rainbow’s muscles both excited, and scared Twilight a little bit. She knew being restrained had frightened her fillyfriend, but Twilight had found the experience quite enjoyable. She could do everything she wanted to the cyan pegasus, and didn’t have to worry about Rainbow doing something while wiggling around to upset her plans for inducing orgasm. “You know I’d never do anything to hurt you, right Rainbow?”

Except for the fact that she had been considering crippling the pegasus just moments before… But…thinking about doing something and following through with it were completely different!

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. “Okay,” she agreed with a sigh. “You do your ultimate magic thing and get everything set up, I’m going to…go to the bathroom.

As the pegasus got up to leave the room, Twilight called on her magic to conjure several feet of rope before securing them to the bedposts, and took a moment to conjure some wing restraints that would tie down Rainbow’s other extremities. By the time she had returned, Twilight was ready for her.

After wrapping the pegasus up in her magic, Twilight gently brought her around to the bed and held her in the air while she secured the pegasus restraints. A part of Twilight wanted Rainbow to fight it, to try and resist the power of her magic as it held the pegasus down with its absolute might. But…that would never happen since Rainbow had given her consent…not a real battle anyway.

And I would never do this without consent, Twilight told herself firmly.

Still, Twilight imagined the scene around her shifting, and the wiggling Rainbow was doing in the glow of her power was resisting, that she was fighting with all her might to be held down by the goddess’s power. She begged for Twilight to let her go, pleaded and… Okay, maybe that is a bit much, the alicorn told herself as she shattered the image in her mind of the pegasus looking up at Twilight with tears in her eyes, begging to be set free before Twilight had her way with her.

Twilight didn’t want to hurt Rainbow, or make her sad, she just wanted…to be the one on top, the one in control… Even if the role did seem to suit the pegasus more as far as their personalities were concerned.

“Hey Twi? You still there?”

The alicorn looked back up with a jerk. “Sorry Rainbow, I was just thinking about all the fun…we,” she said after a pause to keep herself from saying I. Is didn’t let their partners have any pleasure, Is only cared about domination, not control of the situation. “All the fun we’re going to have.”

Rainbow giggled. “Well, you are a lot better at this stuff when I’m all tied up. So, let’s get going okay?”

Despite the fact Rainbow couldn’t see it, Twilight nodded and brought up the wing restraints. The silky soft elastic net came up to wrap around Rainbow’s midsection and bind her wings while causing almost no discomfort. Twilight had tested the harness herself to make certain of that last part the first time she had conjured the net. Then, she tied Rainbow’s hooves behind her back, and ran some cord through two loops in the harness that were currently behind the pegasus’s shoulders. With them there, Rainbow could struggle all she wanted without chafing anything.

With the athletic pegasus’s forward body restrained Twilight moved down to take care of her hind legs. Like her previous time, the ropes Twilight had magically created were equal in strength and delicateness to spider silk. They would hold Rainbow better than any naturally made restraint and be as soft as Rarity’s best dresses.

Once everything was secure, Twilight’s pegasus hung a few inches off the top of their bed. So, the alicorn moved both of their bed’s pillows under Rainbow’s head to help support her. A quick test showed that Rainbow was comfortable as she could be, and Twilight moved to begin.

She leaped into the air and landed atop the pegasus’s position with all four hooves spread out to avoid crashing down on Rainbow with a sly smile.

“Umm, Twilight? What’re you doing? I thought you were going to…have breakfast.”

Twilight giggled at the confusion on the pegasus’s face, and blushed at being questioned about her sudden change in action. “I am, I just…wanted to get an appetite first,” she said before caressing Rainbow’s cheek. Then, she couldn’t stop herself from giving her pegasus a soft smile. “You have no idea how much this means to me Rainbow. That you trust me like this.”

Before Rainbow could talk, Twilight bent down and kissed her, then ran her tongue across the pegasus’s lips again. When she had gotten two more kisses out of her Rainbow, she finally allowed the pegasus to talk. “Yeah well…it’s not as weird as some stuff I’ve heard of,” Rainbow said before she frowned. “Why uh…why do you like doing it like this so much anyway?”

Having to think about her reasoning made Twilight blush. “W-Well I…um…I like being the one in control, and I just…um…I don’t really want anything to go wrong. I mean, you do kind of like to…move when you cum, and I’m not as big as I was as a stallion so…holding you down is kind of hard.” Please don’t think I’m weird. Please don’t think I’m a dominatrix, or a sadist! I don’t want to hurt you, I’d never hurt you!

“Huh…that makes sense.”

Panic building in her mind, Twilight tried to stop Rainbow from…understanding her?

She just looked down at the pegasus for a few moments. “Wait…what?”

“Well you’re all lists and schedules, trying to keep everything in order,” Rainbow told her. “It kind of makes sense that you’d be into this stuff when you say it like that. Just uh…no whips or anything like that okay? I don’t ride crop.”

Twilight gulped, and quickly nodded her head to insure her fillyfriend. “I-I’d never do something like that Rainbow, even if you wanted to!” Restraining the pegasus was a powerful enough feeling for Twilight. The thought of hurting Rainbow, or even worse, breaking her will, made the alicorn shudder.

“Something wrong Twilight? You looked kind of zoned out for a second there.”

“Sorry,” she apologized. “I just…” Twilight paused trying to think of a nice way to think she had just had a mental image of Rainbow being tied over a table and Twilight spanking her with a crop while the pegasus whaled in pain.

Rainbow Dash ended the conversation with a kiss to the alicorn’s mouth. When it broke, she smiled up at her lover and spoke. “Now how about we get started on what you wanted to do?”

A giggle escaped Twilight’s lips. “How is it that even when you're tied up, you're still the one giving me orders?”

“Do you really wanna know?” Rainbow Dash asked after her smile was tuned down a bit. When Twilight gave her an affirmative nod, she continued after letting out a long sigh. “Because it’s hard, being the one on top, the pony all the others look at for help and support. That’s who you have to be…out there. Because that’s the pony they all expect you to be, and if you try and lean on anypony yourself, then…it kind of ruins that image, you know?

“But in here, you don’t have to be the alicorn everypony looks to and leans on. In here, you can lean on me. Oh…and I’m just that awesome,” she said with a shrug.

The last line got another giggle from Twilight, but she wasn’t sure if she agreed with Rainbow’s assessment. The pegasus was wrong when she said that Twilight didn’t get support when she was in public, that nopony helped to lift her up. You dummy, you and the others help hold me up every day.

With one last kiss, Twilight backed up with the intention to start giving Rainbow the attention she had agreed to…only to stop when her eyes fell on Rainbow’s stomach. She reached out to caress the area where there foal was growing, and got a little giggle from Rainbow thanks to the accidental tickle. Hello there little one. Don’t worry if things start to get shaky. I’m just making your mommy feel good. Okay?

Then she moved down to start the traditional opening maneuver in how the two mares made love since the beginning of their homosexual relationship. Twilight kissed both of Rainbow’s teats in a sloppy smack before moving onto licks, and then a subtle suckle.

“H-Hey Twilight,” Rainbow moaned. “Keep doing that, and one day you may just get something.”

The alicorn giggled. “Well you did skip a few weeks of pregnancy Rainbow. The doctor says your placenta and other barriers have finally been able to catch up thanks to the vitamins, but I think some parts of your body may need a little extra help. So I’m stimulating them,” she explained before moving back to give Rainbow’s mammary glands another kiss.

“Does tha-aaaah! Hey, no biting!” she got out as Twilight blew her a raspberry. Rainbow might have agreed to Twilight’s no biting rule, but that didn’t mean the alicorn did. And besides, the tied up had no right to protest when she was supposed to be the one without any control of the situation.

Still, Twilight decided she had waited long enough, and backed up off the bed completely to come eye to opening with Rainbow’s vagina. Days of lovemaking had already conditioned the pegasus to be wet according to some stimulation on her teats…although Twilight supposed they needed to put a stop to that once Rainbow actually started lactating. The last thing the alicorn wanted was their foal’s feeding to turn Rainbow on.

Unlike her beloved, Twilight took her time with the outer folds of Rainbow’s slit before pressing inside and slowly running her tongue around in a circular motion to stimulate as much area as possible while slowly advancing deeper into Rainbow’s vagina.

As Twilight continued her attentions, Rainbow’s whole body shifted around, struggling against her bindings while she let out rapid cries of pleasure.

“Ah, Ahhh hah uh ha. T-Twilight. C-Comon! Qu-it! Teeesing me!”

To prove to herself just who was the boss, Twilight withdrew herself completely from Rainbow’s inner folds and sat on her haunches. The lack of attention made the pegasus look at what the hay was going on, and Twilight just grinned at her desperate look, framed by her thighs.

“You know Rainbow, I’ve been thinking,” she began, getting a whine from the pegasus. “Since you have had stimulation from a phallus, we should try some other things and see if they compare.”Twilight had to admit a certain curiosity to what it was like to have sex with a stallion, and with any chance of finding out still some time away, she only had Rainbow’s experience to live through vicariously.

“Twiiihihiliiiight!” Rainbow whined, cutting the alicorn’s impromptu plan of summoning a Married Mare’s magazine advertising artificial penises that vibrated short. She just couldn’t say no to her Rainbow’s cries for help.

“Okay, you win,” Twilight admitted before going back down to clamp down on Rainbow’s clit and begin suckling the juice that had collected on Rainbow’s outer folds. The sudden pressure and anticipation got a squeal from the pegasus, and a few seconds later, Rainbow’s orgasm was unleashed into Twilight’s waiting mouth.

The whole of Twilight’s body tingled at the taste of her lover’s love. She sucked and gulped it down with greedy abandon, barely noticing taste or texture. All she cared was that the liquid in her mouth was Rainbow Dash’s proof that Twilight had given her true pleasure, and the alicorn wasn’t about to waste a single bit of that gift on the mattress.

Twilight, licked, kissed, sucked and scooped every bit of orgasmic fluid out of Rainbow’s inner folds, prolonging the pegasus’s orgasm for over a minute before Rainbow finally went limp and Twilight’s hold on her sex was undone by distance when her body sank back down.

A few seconds later, Twilight banished the restraints holding her fillyfriend, and climbed into bed next to her. “So, how was that,” she asked before moving a hoof down to rub Rainbow’s belly.

Of course, touching the place where their foal was caused Twilight’s mind to wander once again. She found herself worrying about how others would react to the oddity of a foal who had two natural mothers.

But…it was a silly thought.

The morning after Rainbow wrote her letter to Princess Celestia explaining things about her pregnancy the night they came home from Cloudsdale, when the alicorn was worrying about the same thing she was now, Twilight had gotten the princess’s response. She had read the bucking thing ten times to memorize every word.

Twilight, while I am surprised to hear the news, and can understand your obvious concern, I am overjoyed to hear about the news of your future foal. Motherhood is the greatest blessing that anypony can have, and to hear that you have been given such a gift, regardless of the circumstances. Although urgent matters draw my attention, I hope to meet with you as soon as possible to share my joy.

“You asking me, or her?” Rainbow snarked, drawing Twilight out of her memories.

“So, you think it’s going to be a girl, huh?” Twilight asked.

“Well if its not, then we’re royally bucked when it comes to explaining the birds and the bees,” the pegasus replied with a smile. “Unless you find a way to go all Twiguy again. And then there’s all the experiments you’d probably need to run to answer all the questions he’d have. I’d totally help you with that by the way.”

Twilight forced herself to ignore the ‘Twiguy’ comment, and smile at the questions one, the last just made her geitals dance. “Can you imagine what she’d be like with my curiosity, and your attention to detail? Ooooooh, she’d be the greatest scientist in the history of Equestria!”

The slightly pained moan coming from Rainbow Dash made Twilight sit up in concern. “Is something wrong?”

“Yeah, the idea of having to push out an egghead with her giant brain…just thinking about the birth pains is making me nervous,” Rainbow said before Twilight knocked her in the shoulder.

“Ha Ha, I think I’m going to die laughing,” Twilight deadpanned before laying back down.

Rainbow giggled a little more, then reached up to rub her stomach affectionately. “You’re going to be an awesome flier like your Mommy, aren’t you? I’ll show you all my tricks, and we can go picnicking in the clouds with Daddy.”

“Excuse me?” Twilight deadpanned.

“Hey, you get to skip the joys of foaling and still get one, so yeah…that makes you Daddy,” Rainbow told her before looking back down at her stomach. “Besides, something like Mommy Two-point-Oh, makes us sound like a-”

The bedroom door slamming opened cut off Rainbow Dash’s words, and both the mares looked up to see the third family member who lived in the Castle of Friendship running in with a worried look on his face. “Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! You gotta see…oh! Geeze! Were you two going it again?”

Twilight giggled at Spike’s reaction as she took the newspaper from his claws with her magic. Wow the paper, were we at it for that long? the alicorn wondered as she handed it over to her fillyfriend and turned her attention back to her little brother. “Hey Spike, isn’t it a little early for you to be up?”

“Pinkie wanted help making breakfast…don’t ask,” he replied before looked over to the pegasus.

Twilight blinked and followed the dragon’s gaze. The look of shock on Rainbow’s face made her move to read over the cyan pegasus’s shoulder to see what was so shocking. Huh…that’s…interesting.

“Arrested and tried?” she mumbled before looking back and forth between Rainbow and Spike. For something so important, she would have thought it would have been a media circus! How could it have been over so fast? And which Wonderbolts were arrested? And for what? “What happened?”

Spike was the first to speak. Rainbow…didn’t even look like she heard the question. “Yeah, Princess Celestia conducted the trial and threw down the judgment herself! They’ve all been stripped of their positions and just two of them are ever going to see daylight again judging by the prison sentences. Spitfire’s been put away for life even!”

“What for?” Twilight demanded as the question of how something so high-profile was over so quickly was answered. The princesses were the absolute law of the land. If they got involved directly, there was no higher court, no appeals on any grounds, and no process like the court system. They showed up, asked the pony why they did what they did, and then passed judgment if those reasons weren’t good enough, or let the pony go if they were. The whole thing took an hour at most.

Rainbow was the one to answer Twilight’s question. “Says here they’re all guilty of everything from assaulting other ponies with intent to harm and extortion to fixing races and…what’s slander?”

“Basically? When you spread a rumor about another pony with the intention of destroying their reputation,” Twilight explained. “You know…like the CMC were doing with the paper, only worse.”

Then, something ran through Twilight’s mind. Wait…Spike said all of them but… “Hold on a second, doesn’t Rainbow count as a Wonderbolt?” The fact the newspapers would say all the Wonderbolts had been arrested then forget about the pony Twilight considered the most important one left the alicorn feeling a little angry over the situation.

“It’s just the main squadron, not the reservists,” the dragon explained. “But well…what does that mean for the Wonderbolts?”

“I’m not sure Spike,” Rainbow said without looking up.

For once, Twilight Sparkle was just as lost as her fillyfriend. Although, she should have guessed something like this would have happened when Soarin talked to that judge. But…for Celestia to get involved herself… Just how bad was what was going on with them?

Had her own involvement with the Wonderbolts drawn Celestia’s personal attention?

A week ago, when Twilight had been having the craziest day of his life, Soarin had said something about how Spitfire was corrupt in the way she kept Rainbow from doing anything even as a reservist. Twilight had wanted to launch her own inquiry into the situation on that alone, but held off on Rainbow’s insistence.

She didn’t want for Equestria to see her as the brat who ran to the princess for help.

So Twilight had left that little item off of the list of reasons she thought Celestia should have somepony take a look at the Wonderbolts when she sent a letter to the princess a few days go after mulling over exactly what needed to be said. But she never thought that Celestia would have intervened herself! Or that it would have been taken care of so quickly!

“Does that mean Rainbow is going to be made a full Wonderbolt now?” Spike asked. Both the mares looked up at the dragon, but before they could say anything, he pointed a claw at the paper. “Page three. It says they’re dipping into reserves to fill the ranks of an all new squadron.”

As Rainbow sifted through the paper to find the story, Twilight got an odd feeling in her gut that took a few moments to place. Oh…so this is what Pinkie meant by nervocited, she told herself as the feelings warred with one another.

The Wonderbolts, they were Rainbow Dash’s dream; a dream both Rainbow and Twilight had mixed feelings about. On the one hoof, becoming a Wonderbolt meant everything to Rainbow Dash…or at least it had. After she became pregnant…the answer to what Rainbow wanted to do with her life had become kind of…unclear.

Even a week after everything had gone down, she never did get a straight answer about what Rainbow wanted to do with her life, and…when Twilight thought about it, when she considered all the possibilities, becoming a Wonderbolt and having a family wasn’t that far out of reach for Rainbow with the harmonic power she possessed to fly faster than pretty much anything.

She could be at every air show, every military engagement, and even halfway around the world in the afternoon, and back in Ponyville come nightfall. Sure it meant longer hours, and dangerous situations, and being on call all hours of the day incase a dragon attacked an Equestrian town so they needed to send the Wonderbolts to slow it down long enough for a princess to arrive; turning Rainbow Dash into little more than something for the dragon to snack on before Twilight showed up to find it picking its teeth with her bones!

No! Calm down Twilight, just calm down…good, that’s better…

Personally, Twilight had always known Rainbow was better than those…lowlifes, but she hadn’t been able to make Rainbow see that until recently. However, despite the obvious question of what a foal meant for Rainbow’s future, they hadn’t spoken about her plans since getting together. Twilight preferred to just follow the pegasus’s example, and live in the happiness of the moment.

And this is what happens when you do that Twilight, the alicorn told herself as she looked at the paper and her stunned fillyfriend.

“Couldn’t sleep?”

Shining Armor turned his attention away from his reflection in the train’s window as Celestia’s sun began to climb into the sky, and over to his wife as the room shook a little with each turn of the wheels beneath them. “I still can’t believe she hasn’t told us yet,” the unicorn mumbled.

Her husband’s words set off an pang of worry in her own heart, but Cadence pushed it to the side. “Shiny, we agreed to wait. Twilight sees Celestia as her mentor, an advisor, somepony who isn’t going to judge her as harshly as-”

“And do you think I would hold something like this over her head?” he demanded before walking over to one of their private car’s benches and laying down on it.

Cadence sighed and took the seat across from him. When she thought about it, Cadence knew the only reason she wasn’t acting like her husband was because the last thing they needed was both of them freaking out over Twilight’s abrupt announcement. Or the fact she hadn’t sent any correspondence to anypony else about her unborn foal. Evn Celestia had only gotten that little sidenote.

It certainly seemed strange, but… Well… Unfortunately, since the truth had been accidentally revealed to both Shining and herself, Cadence didn’t think it right to demand answers from her little sister. After all, that would mean she would have to explain just how she knew, and that was a can of worms the Princess of Love thought better left alone when there were less abrasive ways to approach the situation.

He let out a sigh and shook his head. “Cadence, are you sure Celestia hasn’t sent word she’s gotten a more…descriptive letter about what’s going on from Twily?”

“Shiny, you were there when she composed the reply, and Aunt Tia would have at least told us that much,” Cadence explained. Even if we had been a bit too busy to do more than write letters. Bucking Wonderbolts. At least with the group of fliers finally dealt with, they could move on to take care of the more important issue. "We'll be in Ponyville by tonight, and get to the bottom of this, okay?"

Of course, the manner in which they were dealing with the resolution to their lack of knowledge about the pregnancy still made her feel a bit…uneasy. But if Twilight wasn’t going to be upfront about these things, then Cadence supposed that they had a right to snoop just a little.

And it isn’t as if we don’t have a good reason for being there, the princess assured herself. The next captain of the Wonderbolts lived in Twilight’s palace after all.

Author's Notes:

And so the second part of the three party story begins!

How badly will they screw it all up?

Or does the second arc have a different theme than misconceptions?

And when will my audience actually learn to stop trusting my author's notes?

Tune in next time, a completely random pony time, but...same pony page
