Why exactly did you need me to go to the store with you!?" Skyler yells from behind me. After crashing my truck a second time back in March, I bought a motorcycle since it was cheaper than buying another car. I had to get another license for it, but it's really fun to ride. I could afford another car now, but I like the motorcycle so much, that I might just wait for the school year to start up again. I asked Skyler to go the store with me, but really I just wanted to hang out with her. I figured I've been hanging out with Alex so much, or taking care of Rainbow, that I had been neglecting her. I asked Alex to stay at my place while we were out to watch over Rainbow in case she needed something. Of course, she insisted she could take care of herself, but you never know.

"Because I wanted to hang out with you!" I yell over the wind. Kinda hard to talk while going down the highway at sixty miles and hour. She grabs onto my sides as I make sharp turns as we switch roads.

"I wanna hang out with you too! But did we have to take your motorcycle!?"

"Yeah! It's so fun! I do this all the ti-" Holy shit, that van almost rammed into me! I flip the guy off, only for the van to pull up next to me and match my speed. The window rolls down, and I see the thing that I thought I had left in my past. The guy in the passenger seat is wearing a black jacket with a bloody knife on it. The gang, they fucking found me again!? I thought they were all dead!

"Matt! Look out!" Skyler screams as we both look over at the van. The passenger has pulled out a large revolver, and has it aimed directly at our bike. A second later, and a flash comes from the muzzle, and I can hear the sound of metal on metal. I look down to see he just barely missed my leg, and hit the metal under my seat.

"Hold on!" I rev the engine and instantly speed up significantly. I spot a large wall at the end of the road, and an idea pops in my mind. I plunge my hand into my pocket, and prepare to set my plan into action. A few more shots are taken at us, but I continue on a path straight towards the wall. Only one place we can go now.

"What the hell are you doing!? Turn!" Skyler screams and her grip on me gets even tighter. Just a little closer...

A final shot flies through the air, but it misses and hits the wall ahead of us. Neither we, nor the van are even slowing down. Just a few more feet...

"NOW!" I quickly pull out my phone, and a bolt of light shoots forward into the wall ahead of us. The round opening opens up, and we drive directly through it. I close it the second we exit, and turn the handle bars sideways. If that didn't kill the guys in the van, nothing will. We slide to a stop, my bike making skid marks in the grass below us.

"W-Where are we?" Skyler says, her voice shaking. I'm about to answer when a door flies open, and a figure starts running towards us.

"Matt!? What's going on, are you okay!?" The figure says as it approaches us. I throw my helmet off and step off the bike.

"Y-Yeah..." I gasp for air. "Thanks Rarity."

"Ah!" Skyler screeches a little as she spots Rarity next to me. Seriously? You've known Rainbow for like what, ten months? You're gonna freak out over THIS?

"Welcome to Equestria, Rainbow's home." I say as I spin around and point to the world around me.

"W-Why are we here? Who were those guys?"

"Were you being chased? And what is this contraption?" Rarity asks as she pokes the side of my motorcycle. "And why are there these holes in it?" I guess she means the two bullet holes. I'm lucky they didn't hit the gas tank, or we'd probably be dead by now.

"Yeah, somebody was basically trying to kill me. I should probably look into it some more. Skyler, I'm sending you home." I open a portal that shows Skyler's house.

"Are you sure? I could help you if-"

"I'm sure. I don't need you getting hurt because of me." Skyler nods silently before walking into the portal. She disappears in a flash of light, and I close the opening behind her. I sigh and lean back on the bike as I sit down. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." I say as I nod towards Rarity.

"Well, allow me to lighten the mood. I hear that you and Rainbow are expecting." She says with a smile.

"Oh, Twilight must have told you right?"

"Of course! The whole town seems to know by now. Twilight isn't the best with secrets."

"Well, it wasn't much of a secret, so I guess it's okay. But yeah, we're expecting the delivery to come in about six and a half months."

"Well, I certainly wish you the best of luck. Do you know the gender yet?"

"Not yet, but I don't want to know either. I want it to be a surprise." I say as I finally start to rid myself of the adrenaline in my veins.

"I hope you will visit us with the baby when it arrive Matthew. I can't even imagine how adorable it will be."

"Well, it'll definitely get most of it's looks from Rainbow. It'll probably look nothing like me."

"I'm excited for the both of you! However, I have some orders to fill, so I'll leave you to this for now." She says as she starts to walk away. She turns and waves with a smile before re-entering her shop. I get up and check over the bike to make sure it is still intact. I start up the engine, and thankfully it roars to life. I rev the engine as I hop onto the seat. I take off into the open fields on the outskirts of Ponyville just to... test it, yeah "test".

I hoot and holler as I fly over the hills on my sports bike. Whenever I get into the air, I let out a loud cheer of excitement. You can't find this kind of terrain in Jacksonville, but here, these hills are prevalent on the outskirts of town. Why hadn't I done this sooner? I gotta bring Alex out here some time, he would love it!

The sun starts to set, and I realize I'm low on gas. I open a portal on the back of a building, and ride my bike slowly into the opening. I appear in my garage, and park the bike facing the entrance. I hop off and open the door that leads from the garage to the kitchen.

"Guys! I'm back!" I yell as I walk up stairs. I enter my room to see Alex and Rainbow sitting on my bed, with Alex playing my Xbox, and Rainbow watching with interest. I can see why. He's playing a game where you fly around in one of those super fast military jets. That mare is addicted to flying like it's a drug.

"Sup man. Have a good time?" Alex asks as he pauses the game.

"Well... you could say that..."

"Alright, what did you do now?" Rainbow asks with a curious look.

"Um... so you know that gang that kinda wants to kill me because I kinda killed five of their members?"

"Yeah, how could we forget?"

"Weeeellll, they kinda found Skyler and I on the highway, and they may or may not have shot at us multiple times." I say awkwardly as I rub the back of my head.

"OHMYGOSH!" Rainbow shoots out of bed, and I flinch when she makes contact with me, not because of the shock, but because I told her not to move that fast while she's pregnant. "Are you okay!? You weren't hit were you?" Rainbow is well aware of guns are by now, so she knows just what kind of damage they can do. I really need to get a gun myself... Maybe I can get my dad's old 1911.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." I calm her down by pulling her into a hug. "Thanks for watching her Alex, was she too much trouble?"

"Other than the complaining about her cramps, then yeah, she was a blast." He says with a smirk as he pulls on his jacket. "I gotta head out. I hear dinner calling."

"Alright, I'll see ya later man." I bump his fist as he walks by. Once he's gone, I put Rainbow back into the bed. "Rest." I start to walk out of the room to fix up some dinner.

"Fine." I hear her say with a slightly annoyed attitude. "W-Wait, Matt! Come here!" I rush back into the room, expecting something to be wrong.

"What!? Are you hurt, sick, hungry?" I say like an overprotective parent.

"No! Come here!" She waves her hoof for me to come over to the bed.

"What happened?" I ask as I kneel down next to the bed. She grabs my left hand in her hooves, and places it on her stomach. Why is she smiling so much?

"The baby, it kicked!"
