The Solar Guard Pegasi’s wings flapped could be heard gently flapping pulled the golden chariot behind them. Sheton, Goku, Snowflake, and Midnight all sat in the seats, waiting for their ride to get them to their destination. The wind blew in each of their manes as they all took in the sky covered by the cyan clouds. The lush green forests below rustling in the breeze down below, the sigh of Canterlot getting further from them. The beautiful golden sun shined its light down on the chariot and the guard’s armor, causing its light to reflect off of them. A bright yet beautiful rose from the stallion’s armor they powered through the air with seemingly now effort. This was to be expected from ponies like them, since they were Royal Guards who dedicated their lives to protect their ruler.

Goku sat in the front of the chariot, with her forehooves on the front edge as she held her head up high. Her long spikey mane flowed in the breeze as her tail followed closely behind her occasionally hitting her sister’s faces. Sheton giggled continuously as his sister’s tail brushed up against him, getting him in much of his ticklish spots. He rolled onto his back as he pawed at it like a cat would ball of yarn, while Snowflake and Midnight silently fondly watched.

“You look very pretty excited about this little sister.” Came voice Snowflake’s soft from behind the tan thestral. She looked behind her to see the amused faced of her middle sister. “I haven’t seen you like this since mother and father told us that Sheton was going to be born.”

“Can you really blame me, Snowy? This is the first time that I get to see the girls outside of anything related to school or the holidays.” Goku giggled merrily. “It feels like it’s been a lot longer than that though. Now, here I am, going back to the one, and possibly the only place I’ll ever call home. I’m finally getting to see their faces again after so long.” She lowered her head and rubbed her forelegs together. “I have to admit, I’m am a little bit nervous about our reunion. I hope none of them are mad at me for not being able to see them.”

“Oh, don’t worry Goku.” Midnight said soothingly. “You had a lot on your plate since you were at Queen Celestia’s Magic College for Gifted Ponies. so you really didn’t have the time to let them know how you’re doing. You all went to some pretty faraway places when you left Ponyville, so there wasn’t really much chance for them to visit their families, let alone you. I’m sure they wanted to keep in touch just as much as you wanted to.”

“Thanks Middy, that really means a lot coming from you.” Goku replied, smiling up at her eldest sister as she gave the beetle black mare a strong hug. “Now that I think about it, the last letter that was sent to me said that they had all returned a couple of years before I graduated. That was the first letter that had every single one of them in there…and the longest ones too. I also remember the letter that Twilight sent me. It was as long as the Royal Throne Room Carpet…heh, typical bookworm.”

“Yes, that is typical of her, isn’t it? To be honest, it gives me another reason to be happy that we get to see them again on today of all days. I really did miss their antics while we were away, and now we all get to refill those holes once again.” Snowdrop nodded as she turned to Sheton. “Plus, they did have little bundles of joy that we had the pleasure of knowing the last four years before we left home. I wonder how they’ll react they see our wonderful little brother. Don’t you, big sister?”

“Oh certainly Snowflake. I can already picture those sweet little fillies gushing all over him!” Midnight held a hoof to her mouth as she giggled, much to their brother’s dismay. “I almost can’t to see that happen!”

“Oh come on!” Sheton whined in a high-pitched squeak as he squirmed in Snowflake’s wing embrace. “Stop it, you’re both embarrassing me!!”

“Oh we know little brother, we know.” Goku said sweetly, winking at th colt. “We just can’t help it; whenever we think of a filly or fillies, connecting with a little colt as sweet and cute as you, we just can’t help but tease you about it.” She leaned in and whispered in his ear in a warm, tender, yet mischievous tone, “When you meet my friends' little sisters, you’re going to have to endure even more teasing, and we’re gonna enjoy it. Every. Single. Minute.”

“Uuuuuuuugh!” Sheton let out a dreadful groan as cupped his face in his forehooves, hearing the sound of his sister’s laughing. Even though he knew that they weren’t trying to be mean, he was not anticipating being repeatedly teased by his big sisters. Especially if the foals he would be befriending were fillies. He could literally picture himself being swarmed by a large mini herd of them, while his sisters relished watching him go through his ‘torture’.

‘Oh Celestia, why did I have to be born this way? Did the Goddess of Luck really bless me, or did she do it just to mess with me?’ He thought as he rocked back in forth, anime tears flowing from his eyes. All the while, something, somewhere deep in his mind told him what he was thinking was true on both parts. ‘I hate my life! I hate it so so much! Okay, I don’t really hate it all! But I really hate this right now!’

He could almost hear the Pony Goddess laughing hysterically from above.

Just as this thought flew through his mind, he suddenly felt himself being shot into the air, then falling hard on his rump. Before he could even register what happened, he felt his body shaking as the chariot started to become quite bumpy. Goku immediately scooped him up into her forearms and held him close.

“Oh my, the roads gotten a lot bumpier than usual hasn’t it?” Midnight asked as she spread all four of her hooves to the sides of the chariot to keep her balance. “I certainly don’t remember it being this bumpy the last time we were here.”

“Neither do I.” Snowflake murmured, her voice vibrating. “It would seem that the Ponyville Weather Team was pretty busy the last four years.”

“That’s an understatement, Snowy.” Goku dryly snorted as she held Sheton to her chest. “Then again, nothing really lasts forever, and the change in the environment and the climate is no exception.”

Nothing was said between the three Pegasi sisters for the next couple minutes after that last comment. They all stayed silent and waited out the bumpy stop as the Solar Guards pulling the chariot slowly came to a stop, using their wings to decrease the speed. Eventually, after just a few more moments of enduring the constant bumping, the chariot stopped, just outside of the forest. There were a couple of moments of silence as the Shenron siblings all regained their balance on the chariot. Sheton feeling the chariot stop, brought his head out of Goku’s chest fur and looked around timidly, before asking, “Is it over now?”

“Yes baby, it’s all over. Good thing you landed on me when you did, huh?” Goku replied with a comforting smile as Sheton weakly nodded. With a little reluctance, he let her gently set him down on the chariot floor, and the second all four of his hooves hit the ground, he wasted no time leaping out and practically plopping the upper half of his body in the dirt.

“Oh sweet, sweet ground! How I’ve missed you so.” He whispered as his whole body shook with relief. “I am never going on another chariot again!”

“Sheton! Please don’t do that sweetheart.” Midnight scolded in a gentle, yet firm tone as she walked over and picked up the still shaking colt from up off the ground. “I know you were scared that you would fall out of the carriage, but don’t get yourself all dirty like that. You could get cut by one of those rocks, or get dust in your nose and eyes, or worse!”

“Sorry Midnight.” Sheton murmured as he lowered his head with his ears pinned down. "I was just happy to be back down on the ground again. I really don't like flying very high. Or being very high off the ground for that matter.

The beetle black mare let out a soft sigh, her expression softening upon seeing the guilty look on his face. She simply gave him a sweet smile and set him back down on the ground. “It’s alright Sheton, I know you really didn’t mean to.” She cooed soothingly, stroking his back with a wing. “I just don’t want you to get hurt and get all dirty for the Summer Sun Celebration later on. So just let us know before you do something like that, and be more careful next time okay?”

“Okay.” Sheton softly replied with a nod, blushing as his eldest sister gave him a warm kiss on the cheek. “I sure will.”

“Wow, that sure was a long and really bumpy ride isn’t it? It certainly made my rump a little sore.” Goku giggled as she gave her body a few stretches. She walked over to the two pegasi guards, batting her eyelashes as she said sweetly, “Thank you for the ride to our foalhood home my dear gentlecolts. I apologize if we made the trip too tedious due to all of us being in there.”

“It was out pleasure Ms. Shenron. And please don’t apologize. We’ve carried more than one passenger before, and it certainly won’t be the last.” The first pegasus guard replied with a polite nod. Upon close expression, Goku could see just the tiniest of blushes adorning his snow-white cheeks.

“Of course you aren’t, you’re the Solar Guards for the very Queen of our whole land. It’s only natural for you all to be so used to things like this, due to how amazingly strong and endurable you all are.” Goku giggled as she draped one of her feathered bat wings over both of the stallions. “You know, I’m feeling a bit generous with the two of you today. So I think I’ll give you two fine stallions a little reward for going through all this trouble for us.”

Using her right wing claw, she lifted one of the flaps of the saddlebags that was hanging from her barrel, before taking out a small bag. She gave it a few shakes, before she opened it and looked inside. After a moment, she gave nod as she smiled in satisfaction, before handing the bag to the second Pegasus guard.

“There you are, a nice fresh bag of bits! I figured due to the amount of time you were spending carrying us, you should be given a little reward for your services.” Goku chirped as she folded her wing back to her side. Before either of the guards could say or do anything, she walked closer and leaned in between them. She put her mouth between both of their ears as she whispered sensually, “Between you and me, due to the amount of work you do and the amount of time you spend doing it, I feel like you ponies aren’t being rewarded enough. Think of this as a little thank you present as well, but don’t tell the Queen about what I did or what I said. This is a secret between us, okay boys?”

“Of course, Ms. Shenron.” The second Solar Guard replied with a nod, giving her another salute. A second later, both he and the first guard unfurled their wings. “You and your siblings have a nice day.”

“You too!” The tan thestral replied sweetly, running her overextended tail under both of their chins. Without another word they, took off, leaving the four hybrid siblings to themselves at the entrance to Ponyville. Giggling to herself, she turned to her siblings, only to see Snowflake looking at her with a raised cumulus eyebrow. “What? Why're you staring at me like that?”

“Honestly little sister. Did you really have to go and tease those poor stallions like that?” She scolded, though the playful tone. “Those poor stallions looked like they were going to melt like pudding. Besides, that’s supposed to be mother’s job to make ponies all flustered.”

“Oh don’t worry about it Snowy, they both know that I was just teasing them. Besides, neither you or even Middy can deny that you probably would’ve done the same.” Goku replied nonchalantly as she walked past Snowflake and over to Snowflake and Sheton. “Like how we always do to you Sheton~.”

The colt sweat dropped. “Gee, I wonder why…?”

All four hybrid siblings then made their way over the bridge and into the town of Ponyville. The moment they did, they all felt an incredible sense of warmth and joy take over their bodies by the place they used to live in. Every step they took, every breath they inhaled, and each sway of the cool gentle wind brought back wonderful memories of Ponyville that they were all very fond of. It was as if the young mares had never left and they were just returning back to their nice warm nest.

By closer inspection, the town looked more like a larger-than-normal-neighborhood than anything else, with large wooden houses have either small window gardens outside the windows, or large roofs covered in hay. Some of them even had a combination of all the appendages, making them that much more unique. In the distance, they four siblings could even see a few houses that looked like tents, though they knew that those houses were being used for anything but camping. Ponies could be seen in walking about the streets, or selling items behind booths, while foals ran or flew around, giggling and laughing as they chased each other, something that made Goku’s heart melt.

With a gentle content sigh, Midnight gave a toss of her head as she said, “I can see that this town has certainly gotten bigger the last time we were here, hasn’t it?”

“Indeed it has. It’s even bigger than the last time we saw it. Twice as big if what we saw on the chariot was anything to go by.” Snowflake nodded taking in the sight of the brand-new houses, stores, stands, and buildings. There were even a few mansions that she could spot here and there, though that wasn’t really a surprise. “It would seem that our beloved town has gotten more welcoming over the last four years.”

“I don't know how they did it, but whatever happened here, I am loving it!” Goku exclaimed gleefully as she turned her head back to them. “You know what would make this trip even better? If a familiar face or two would happen to show up around here! Hay, I wouldn’t care if they’d happen to fall out of the sky right at this very moment!”

Just as she said this, her hybrid ears picked up the sound of what sounded like loud screaming coming from above her. Looking up, Goku’s sharp golden eyes was able to pick up the very faint of something careening through the sky. Unfortunately, due to it being so far away she could see it as no more than a dot.

“Hey, girls…do either of you see that?” She asked slowly, raising her left tri-stocked foreleg to point up into the air. “What is that?”

“I don’t know. It looks like...” Snowflake replied softly, squinting her teal eyes ever so slightly. “It looks like somepony falling from out of the sky…a pegasus to be exact.”

“Um, Snowflake, Goku…” Sheton said nervously, sinking behind Goku’s mane. “I think that is somepony falling out of the sky.”

Giving their youngest sibling perplexed looks; the three mares looked back up again, and saw that their brother statement was ultimately justified. There was, indeed, a pegasus pony, falling out of the sky and spinning out of control, as if she was a tornado that was about the strike the earth. Goku, Snowflake and Midnight all took a few steps back, obviously taken aback, even more so when they saw who that pegasus was.

“Um, everypony…” Midnight said softly as she started to back away faster. “I think we may want to move…um, now please.”

“Great idea, Middy.” Goku squeaked as she flared her gigantic wings out and took off with a single flap, the speed making Sheton fall off her back. As her elder sisters followed the hybrid tan mare screamed out to the ponies on the streets. "EVERYPONY TAKE COVER!!!"

The diving pegasus made impact with the ground, the impact’s force making it seem like she was comet rocketing from outer space. Cracks and splits appeared in the earth as a shockwave washed across the street. The figure bounced about the ground, making a slightly smaller crater each time before eventually coming to a stop just at the entrance. Ponies that were blown away from the blast could be seein lying across the ground, eyes comically white and faces flushed blue. This included Goku, Midnight, and Snowflake, who found themselves unable to completely escape the blast in time.

“Well that sucked ass.” She half-said, half-moaned, her eyes going in swirls. “I thought we’d be able to escape that, but I guess not.”

“Well, that’s what we get for not heading Sheton’s words in time.” Snowflake said, shaking the dust off her coat as she helped Goku up. “Ponyville definitely has not changed at all, minus the increase in its size.”

“Girls, I don’t see Sheton anywhere!” Midnight cried, looking to be frantic. “I can’t see him anywhere around the street!” Her hooves came to her head as her teeth began to chatter. “Oh no, what if he got too caught up in the blast?!”

Goku held a hoof up, the gesture made in a way that made Midnight’s muzzle snap shut. “Take it easy Midnight, don’t go into too much of a panic. I have a big inkling as to where our little brother is now.” She looked over at the crater, seeing an outline of grey and yellow poking out of the way. “Actually, I take that back. I know who he’s currently under right now.”

Down in the crater Sheton let out a long and agonized groan as he struggled to breath under whoever had crashed into him. Judging by the heartbeat he felt against this face, the pony was still alive, if her own groan didn’t five her away. Whoever this pegasus was, they clearly had an insane amount of durability to be able to survive an impact of this size. It was the only way to explain how they were still breathing, let alone moaning softly.

‘Or maybe this mare may be from one of the Equestrian Clans.’ Sheton thought, using his forehooves to gently move the pony off of him. Upon closer inspection, the pony was shown to be a mare one that was really pretty in Sheton’s eyes. “U-um…excuse me miss? C-can you get off of me please?”

The mare gave another moan in response and shifted her body so her forelegs could prop her up, allowing Sheton to properly breath. Thick locks of sandy yellow mane fell across either side of Sheton’s head as he looked into the bright yellow eyes of the mare. She gasped, the look in her eyes giving Sheton the impression that she didn’t expect to see him there. In a voice that did not fit her mature features, she asked, “Oh no, are you alright little muffin?! I didn’t see you anywhere near the ground at all!”

‘Wow her voice is really high-pitched.’ Sheton thought, wisely deciding to keep that thought to himself. “Oh, don’t worry, I’m okay miss. You just really, really caught me off guard.” He said softly, smiling up at the mare as he pointed at the lump on his head. “You did crash into me pretty hard back there.”

“Pretty hard?!” The mare asked incredulously, lifting herself up off the colt. Her wings spread as she hovered above the colt, her chest fluff bouncing along with her. “I nearly flattened you right into the earth honey! I’m amazed that you’re still breathing right now!” She reached out and cradled him in his arms as if he was a newborn. “I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean to drive you into the ground like that! Are you hurt anywhere?”

Sheton shook his head, smiling as the mare ran her hooves through his fanged fluffy face. “No, I’m alright ma’am, but thank you. I’m kind of used to getting into crash landings like that, including whenever I’m training, so it doesn’t really bother me.” As he looked into her eyes, he gasped when he saw them derp out of place. “Oh no, you’re eyes! Ma’am your eyes are out of sync! We need to get you to a hospital!”

An amused giggle left the pegasus and she put a hoof to Sheton’s muzzle to gently shush him and calm him own. “Oh, you don’t need to worry about that. My eyes have always been like this since I was a filly. So you don’t need to worry about it getting to me.”

“I don’t?” Sheton asked, his terror giving way to confusion. “You can still see?”

“Mhm! It’s a little condition that I’ve had for as long as I can remember it being, so I’ve gotten used to it.” The mare replied softly, ruffling her eyes. “Thank you for worrying about me though. That was really sweet of you.”

Sheton shied away a bit at the mare’s motherly smile, but he was prevented from saying anything when he heard his sister doing it for him. “I can see you have not changed a single bit there Derpy, still crashing as comically as ever.” She said softly as she and Snowflake flew down toward her and their brother. “Still, you still look as chipper as the day I had met you in the clouds.”

Derpy’s ears went up at the soft silky voice of the tan thestral, and she gasped lightly when her own yellow eyes locked onto Goku. With a slight stutter, she quietly asked, “G-Goku!Is that you?”

The thestral mare nodded, flaring her large wings and grinning widely at cross-eyed pegasus. “In the flesh Derpy, just as much as you are!” She replied, tossing her mane. “Who did you think it was huh? Somepony impersonating as me?”

The shocked look on Derpy’s face immediately morphed into one of joy as she galloped towards the other mare. Throwing her forelegs around her in a near neck-snapping hug, the pegasus mare squealed as they both fell to the ground.

“Goku! I can’t believe it’s really you!" She cried as she hugged the other mare tightly around the neck. "You’re finally back in Ponyville!"

Goku would’ve answered, of even hugged the mare back, if she not were trying to get out of her hold at the moment. She gasped and failed her forelegs desperately as her wings flapped from under her. ‘Faustdammit, not again!’

“D-Derpy, um, don’t you think you should ease up on the hugging right now?!” Midnight asked in a bit of sputter as Snowflake shook her head. When the grey mare didn’t reply, or comply, the larger mare spoke a bit louder. “Derpy, please calm down! I know you’re elated to see Goku again and we understand your excitement, but your crushing her! Please Derpy! She’s going to pass out!”

At last, Derpy pulled back that childishly happy smile still on her beautiful face. It soon morphed into confusion when she saw that Goku’s her head was limp, preventing her from seeing her comically white eyes. A gasp of horror left her as she thought that she may have snapped her neck, and she proceeded to, once again, bring her into a more desperate hug. “Oh no! Don’t die Goku please!”

Now Midnight was visibly sweating. She was seriously considering just ripping Derpy off of her youngest sister, though she didn't know if she'd be able to handle her strength. “Derpy! Y-you’re doing it again! Now she’s really going to pass out! For goodness sake Derpy! Please let her go”

‘Oh wow…’ Sheton thought, a half-lidded gaze on his face. ‘This mare’s as strong as me.’

Thankfully, Goku’s saving grace came just as she was going to be pulled into oblivion, coming in the form of a magical aura. It lifted Derpy and set her on the ground before it vanished, and a magenta purple unicorn mare came from behind her. “Mom, didn’t you hear her when she said to get off of her? You literally looked like you were going to snap her neck like a twig!”

“Oops, sorry about that Amethyst. I guess I didn’t notice my own strength.” Derpy replied sheepishly as she calmed down. She looked over at Goku, who was brushing the dust off of her fur and out of her mane and tail. “Are you okay Goku? I didn’t hurt you too much did I?”

“Well, not really. Apart from almost crushing my damn neck!” Goku hissed, a tick mark forming in her head as she bared her curved fangs. She sighed as she waved a dismissive hoof, smiling warmly at the pegasus and unicorn. “It’s not be deal, I’m just as glad to see you Derpy, and you to Amethyst.”

The unicorn took a surprised step back, her dark purple tail skirt flicking with slight nervousness at the mare’s presence. “Wait, how do you know my name?” She asked, her light violet eyes narrowing a bit as the filly riding her went wide-eyed. “Who are you?”

“You mean you don’t remember her, Amethyst?” Derpy asked, a look of surprise coming to her loopy eyes. “I’m surprised at you honey! How can you not remember me introducing you to one of my best friends in my whole life? You’re seriously telling me that you don’t remember Son Goku Kakarot Nightstalker Shenron?”

Amethyst’s eyes went wide when she heard that name escape from her mother’s mouth, and she again looked at Goku with more recognition than before. With a smile that was more relaxed, but no less happy, she said, “Wait a minute. Yeah, I do remember now! You’re that thestral mare that my Mom raves about all the time and comes over from time to time. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you there.”

“I do have a hard time believing you wouldn’t remember colors like these.” Goku chuckled, gesturing to her sexy frame. “It’s fine. I can understand how you couldn’t really remember me, but I do remember you. The last time I saw you was when you were only thirteen years old. And boy, where you a pretty little filly back then”

“Look who’s talking! With a smoking hot body like that, I’m sure you did not have a lot of stallions and mares trying to get you into bed with them.” Amethyst retorted, snorting in a fit of laughter as her link purple cheeks gained a pink tint. When she calmed down, she looked down and took notice of Sheton standing just next to Snowflake. “Whoa, who’s this little guy?”

“So, you finally took notice, hm?” Snowflake smiled warmly, unfurling a large feathered bat wing and draping it around a shy-looking Sheton. “This is our little brother, Sheton Crimson Flash Nightstalker Shenron. He’s joining us while we’re supervising the Summer Sun Celebration on the fourth day of July, which is, well, today.

“He won’t really be supervising anything at all though.” Midnight said dismissively. “He will be taking a look of the town he’ll be moving into soon.”

“Awww, this is your brother~?” Derpy cooed, clasping her hooves together. “Oh, he’s so cute~! I have never seen a little colt so adorable before! I already just wanna take him in my arms and cuddle him in my chest!”

“Well, you kind of already did that.” Goku said dryly, glancing over at the giant crater. “In your own reckless and dangerous way.”

Sheton smiled shyly, pawing a hoof on the ground as he avoided making direct eye contact with the mares in front of him. His eyes found themselves looking right under Derpy’s barrel, and his sharp eyes caught sight of two large round lumps underneath. The blush on his face grew deeper as he looked away, pulling his fedora over his head guiltily. His hope that they didn’t get caught was washed away when he heard Amethyst and Derpy giggling, causing him to look up. Sheton gulped when he saw them smiling down at him knowingly.

“My my~. Somepony started noticing two little secret muffins of mine~.” Derpy cooed, smirking at Sheton before she looked over at Amethyst. “I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. Was I Amethyst?”

“No you weren’t Mom. I saw him looking too.” Amethyst grinned. “What a bad little colt you are~. Getting a look of my Mom like that~.”

Sheton frantically shook his head, whimpering. “N-no! I did mean to, really! I just happened to n-notice them t-there! R-really! I wasn’t trying to take a peek!”

“There’s no need to be ashamed. I understand baby. No colt can really resist ogling a mare. No matter how young they are~.” Derpy crooned, lowering her head to Sheton’s level. As she did, Sheton picked up the scent of muffins and blueberries in her mane. “You’re no exception baby. I just know that I’m not the only mare you’re going to be ogling.”

Midnight giggled. “You and me both Derpy.”

“Speaking of which…” Amethyst said slowly, casually strutting up to Sheton. “…I couldn’t help but see that you were feeling me up too.” She leaned in close to the colt’s face, keeping just enough distance as to where he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. “Maybe you’d like to have a look at my, little diamonds, too~?”

Sheton’s jaw hit the ground as his entire face lit up in red, steam now exploding from his head as his hat floated and spun around in the air. Goku, Snowflake, and Midnight did all they could not to burst out laughing at their poor brother’s face as he covered it with his hat. Luckily for him, before the mares could tease him more, somepony unintentionally came to his rescue.

“Oh, my goodness! Derpy!” The voice of a mare cried out as a light grayish amber earth pony mare galloped towards them. Her moderate phthalo blue eyes were wide with concern as they focused. “Are you alright dear?!”

“Oh, hi Miss Mayor Mare!” Derpy exclaimed cheerfully with a cute wave. She turned away from Sheton, allowing her daughter to continue teasing him. “Don’t worry about me! I’m okay! Just got a little off course with the direction of the wind that’s all! And I ran into a couple of old friends along the way, as you can see, hmhmhm!”

“If you had to endure a crash like that, then that must’ve been one strong wing current!” Mayor Mare said, looking slightly less worried. “I mean honestly! Did you see the size of the crater that you left behind?! Or how deep and long that dirt trail you created was?! There’s no way that you should even be moving right now! Let alone standing up! How in the world were you able to survive an impact like that?!”

“Mayor mare, you’ve known me for the last fourteen years since I came here to Ponyville. You should know that I’m able to survive crashes like this!” Derpy proclaimed proudly as she ruffled her messy wings. “Look on the bright side, at least I didn’t crash into any buildings or trees this time! So that means I’m getting better! Slowly but surely!”

"…Yes, you are Derpy.” Mayor Mare sighed with a shake of her head. “Still though, you may want to go to a hospital or a clinic to get yourself looked over. It’s not that I don’t trust your word Derpy. It’s just…well, you never know what could happen.”

If the bubbly grey mare showed any signed of being offended or annoyed by the mare’s words, she either hid it very well, or didn’t feel any. It was only more apparent by what she said next. “You got it Ms. Mayor! I’ll head right over to Ponyville Urgent Medical Care and get myself fixed up in no time!” Her expression turned sheepish as added spread her wings again. “Although…I probably shouldn’t use my wings this time.”

“Of course dear. That's smart thinking.” Mayor Mare nodded, grimacing at the state of the grey mare’s wings. “With tangled wings like that, it’d be best not to go taking off into the air again.”

“Duly noted.” Derpy nodded, before turning to Goku and her sisters. “Sorry you guys, but I gotta go now. My wings need a looking over by the doctor. And I gotta go get Dinky ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. I’ll see you there okay?”

“Sure thing Derps!” Goku replied waving to the air as the grey mare began to trot away. “Be sure to say hi to little Dinky for us, and that we have a new little tag along she’ll love to meet!”

Sheton blushed in embarrassment, knowing what his sister was talking about. “Really sis?”

“I will Goku, see you tonight!” Derpy said, before glancing over at her daughter. “Come on Amethyst, we still got a lot to do before the celebration!”

“Right behind you Mom! Just gotta say goodbye first...” Amethyst said, giving Sheton’s head a gentle, yet playful pat. “Bye-Bye Sheton, I’ll see you later, baby! I can’t wait for when I can introduce you to my little sister Dinky! I’m gonna warn you, she’s quite the hugger, so be prepared for some any affection thrown at you from her way!”

“Y-yeah, sure thing Ms. Amethyst. I-it was nice meeting you too.” Sheton said, blushing timidly waving at the mailmare. “S-see you at the celebration...maybe.”

Mayor Mare then took a couple of minutes to disperse the crowd, having to give more than a few extra reassurances that Derpy would be fine. It was at that moment that the four thestrals realized that they had been closely observed, something that made them feel more the a little embarrassed. After they had gone, Mayor Mare went back to the four, a thankful expression adorning her lips.

“I’m so very sorry that you had to see that girls. You have no idea how many crashes that poor mare had over the past month alone! At this rate the next fall she has is one that she may not be able to get back up from.” Mayor Mare shook her head in dismay, before a smile graced her muzzle. “I would like to thank you for helping her out of that mess and immediately coming to her aid. It’s great to see someone as big hearted and helpful as you are Goku…you and your sisters.”

The look on Goku Snowflake and Midnight’s faces was nothing short of surprised as they looked at the amber Earth Pony with wide eyes. This caused the mare’s expression to go from thankful to that of amusement as she chuckled dryly. “What? Did you really think that I’d forget you three of all ponies after four years away from your own hometown? Please! With colors, looks, appendages, and necklaces like that, I find that very hard to do.”

“Good point.” Goku murmured as the Mayor let out a laugh. “I guess after the amount of time it took for Amethyst to recognize us. Let alone me. I kind of thought you would too.”

“Well, that aside, it’s good to see you all back here in Ponyville! You’ve all certainly grown into beautiful young mares that last time I saw you.” she said with a warm smile, which grew slightly wider as she saw a blush form on Midnight’s face. She was about to say something else, until she noticed the colt standing just next to Goku. “Oh my, who is this little one?”

Sheton shrunk back a bit as Mayor Mare’s eyes landed on him, a nervous whimper escaping his throat. He soon relaxed a bit after Goku gave him a gentle nuzzle, a reassuring smile on her tan muzzle. Reaching a hoof out, she gently pushed him in front of her, keeping one of her wings out as to not let him hide behind her.

“You probably won’t remember this Ms. Mayor, but back in Canterlot, my parents had another foal. This one being a colt instead of a filly while me Midnight and Goku were all staying here in Ponyville.” Snowflake explained. “This is our little brother Sheton, the most adorable and sweetest colt of our little group.”

“Well, he certainly is a cute little colt, isn’t he?” Mayor Mare giggled as she walked over and put a hoof under his chin, lifting his head up to get a better look at him. “Oh, and I see that he’s half thestral just like you three. Though I probably should’ve expected that, since your mother is a full blooded thestral herself.” She leaned in closer, her phthalo blue/violet eyes staring into Sheton’s emerald blue ones. “My, he has such beautiful blue eyes. And that fedora makes him look even more adorable!”

Sheton’s ears fattened against his head as a dark blush made its way to his cheeks. A small smile making its way to his own face as he looked back up at the Earth Pony mare. He rubbed his left wing with his right foreleg as he quietly said, “It's nice to meet you too…Ms. Mayor.”

“Hmhm, such a polite little colt, isn’t he? I think I’m going to have a wonderful time getting to know him~.” Mayor Mare murmured with a sweet smile as she patted the young colt on the head. “I’d like to give you a proper welcoming to Ponyville Sheton. I hope you find your visit, and your permanent stay here to be most pleasant. Especially since you’ll be having your sisters here with you.”

“Oh, I think Sheton will enjoy his visit here quite well Mayor Mare.” Goku said, smiling down at her little brother. “Especially since he’s going to be staying here from now on. Oh I can only imagine what he’s going to get into. The friends he’ll make, the adventures they’ll go on, the things they’ll learn. And all the little fillyfriends he’ll make!”

Sheton flinched, a half-lidded expression coming to his face as he turned to look at the beetle black mare. “One of these days Midnight. One of these days. I am so gonna get back at you for all the teasing you’re all putting me through.”

“Oh, we don’t doubt it little brother.” Snowflake said innocently, batting her eyelashes. “Until then, we’ll be waiting, while you are put through the relentless teasing of your three loving big sisters!”

“Someday…” Sheton whispered, glaring up at the mountain blue mare. “…you will all pay.”

“Anyway, what brings you all back here to Ponyville?” Mayor Mare asked. “While I’m sure you’re planning to move back her, I have feeling that it’s not just for that reason. Am I correct?”

“Always as sharp as ever Ms. Mayor, you haven’t changed a bit, have you?” Midnight smiled with a soft laugh, her navy-blue mane giving the lightest of bounces. “You see, just earlier this morning, we were given a letter by Queen Celestia saying that we were the ones who would be supervising the Summer Sun Celebration the day after tomorrow.” She reached into one of the bags of her saddlebag and pulled out a clipboard with her right wing as she gave it to the Mayor. “We were given this list that had the names of the ponies that she chose would be in charge of the tasks needed for it. And we were wondering if you could help us with something.”

“Why whatever do you need my help for?” Mayor Mare asked quizzically as she looked over the list. “Everything you need to know and do is right here on the list, so I don’t why you would need-” she suddenly gave an abrupt pause as she stared at the list for a few more moments, her expression slowly turning to realization as she murmured, “Oh…I see…”

“We weren’t given a map.” Goku said sheepishly. “As much as we’ve grown fond of the places that we went to when we were foals, I pretty much forgot where those places were.”

“Oh don’t worry. There’s nothing to be ashamed of my dears.” Mayor Mare said with a reassuring smile and a wave of her hoof. “I really didn’t expect you all to recognize your hometown so quickly. Especially due to how much and how fast it had changed in just four years. I’d be more than happy to help you all show you around again.” Just as she said this, she looked back down at the clipboard and a grin slowly made its way to her muzzle. “In fact, since it shows that your first stop is Sugarcube Corner. I think I know one of the ponies on this here list who has more than enough of the resources that you need to get your way around town now that is bigger and more productive.”

“Oh trust us Ms. Mayor.” Snowflake said with a chuckle as she set Sheton on her back. “You’re not the only one who believes so.”

“Well let’s not waste any more time then, let’s get right to it!” The Mayor exclaimed happily as she gave Midnight the clipboard back “None of the other girls have seen you in so long. They’ll be absolutely delighted to see you all again, and I’m sure it’ll be quite the reunion between the nine of you!”

“We do too!” Midnight said happily with an agreeable nod. “We can hardly wait!”

Goku gave a soft and cute giggle. “Not gonna disagree with you on that one, Ms. Mayor, I’ll tell you that. Though something tells me that one of them will make sure that this reunion with be one hay of a blast! I can almost see it happening!” Her whole body gave a heavy shiver of excitement at the thought as she added, “And I have a feeling that somepony else is going to get a nice good dose of sweetness as well!”

At this, Sheton, who was walking in between Snowflake and Midnight flinched, and looked over at his sister. His face became a sweating mess as he saw the smirk that the tan hybrid mare was shooting down at him.

“U-um…what do you mean by t-that sis?” The stormy grey colt asked, gulping. “I-is there something that you want to tell me?”

“Oh nothing!” Goku replied innocently with a wink. “I just can’t help that you’re going to get a new friend in just a short while. And she is going to be sweeter than any of the sweets found at a candy shop!”

“Oh, I see…okay then.” Sheton nodded, giving Goku his best smile as tried his best not to blush again. As soon as the tan mare turned her head away, his entire face burned as he pulled his fedora over his face. ‘Oh Faust, please just bucking take me away right now!

This chapter was quite a bit of fun to write to be honest, mainly because I had decided to change it up a bit to where Goku and her siblings wouldn't just meet Derpy. That, and her little crash would go a big differently as to where she'd met Sheton first before the rest of them, and Amethyst would be there as well. Some parts this chapter are as the same as the last revision, but like I said, some things would stay the same, while others would be different, so that shouldn't really be a surprise. Those parts are probably the only parts of this chapter being the same, other than the different scenes that I put in with Mayor Mare and Amethyst, and that may be the same with the rest of the girls, but...we'll have to see.

Next Time: Goku, her sisters and brother reunite with their first friend, who is every bit as crazy and unpredictable imaginable!
