BEFORE ANYONE COMMENTS ABOUT IT; LET IT BE KNOWN THAT DESPITE SPITFIRE NOT BEING KNOCKED DOWN ANY PEGS THIS CHAPTER, I STILL DON'T LIKE HER. I am not changing the original direction I wanted to go with this story simply due to a lot of recent negative PR going around Spitfire. I don't really feel like changing around my original plans for these episodes just because of some recent events. So despite the negative PR Spitfire has been under recently, I am choosing to have her take part in an episode. Thankfully, this is the only time I had planned for Spitfire to make an actual physical apperence in one of these episodes.

It was a seemingly normal day in Ponvyille with the Shadowbolts. Lately though, Rainbow Dash has been simply doing her leadership role and not a lot of flying and today was no different. This caught Spitfire's attention so the yellow pegasus mare decided to approuch Rainbow Dash after practice today.

"Hey Dash, are you feeling okay?" Spitfire asked Rainbow Dash.

"I'm doing fine Spitfire. Couldn't be better really." Rainbow Dash said before eating some Beef Jerky. That gave Spitfire pause. She thought Rainbow Dash hated Beef Jerky.

"...Are you really Rainbow Dash, or are you Pharynx playing some sort of prank on me?" Spitfire asked before Phyranx suddenly showed up.

"...Seriously, Beef Jerky again Rainbow?" Pharynx asked.

"Yep. I can't help it." Rainbow Dash said.

"...Am I being pranked right now?" Spitfire asked.

"No pranks Spitfire. Though I did want to ask if you were willing to be a lunar mother in a few more months from today." Rainbow Dash said.

"What does that go--" Spitfire began to say before her jaw totally dropped. "Wait...are..." Spitfire was saying.

"Scootaloo is already excited to be a big sister soon. She already knows too. And I'll be soon making an announcement about it to my friends." Rainbow Dash said.

"...That...explains...everything...wow..." Spitfire said. "What happened, did you not want Twilight to be the only one with a pony-changeling hybrid child running around?" she asked; partly as a joke.

"Oh ha ha ha. Very funny Spitfire. I actually don't mind that Twilight's foal is going to be born a few weeks before mine honestly." Rainbow Dash said. "Just means that mine's got to become more awesome, right?" She asked with a grin.

"...Okay now this sounds more like you. I don't think I'm being pranked anymore." Spitfire said.

"Changelings don't like pranking about stuff this serious. Trust me." Pharynx said.

"Besides, Thorax said he was done trying to imitate mares." Rainbow Dash said. "Guess he got really tramtized disguising as Twilight. I bet that was a pain." She added.

"I think it was the whole I had to be Amiticia thing that really made it akward." Pharynx said.

"I guess there was that too huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, cuddling up to her stallion.

"...Your still acting a little strange Rainbow..." Spitfire said.

"It's the mood swings Spits; Twilight's going through them too. The other day, she actually blew the top off her own castle." Rainbow Dash stated.

"Wait...but the castle looks totally fine. How did it..." Spitfire said.

"It's a giant regenerating crystal castle. Twilight started on some long-drawn-out nerd stuff that completely flew over my head. I don't need to know a lot to know that the short version is that it's a very complicated process. Trust me, don't even bother asking Twilight." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah this is still defiantly you Dash. Only you wouldn't care about the complications." Spitfire said.

"Only this was even worse. Even King Amiticia was growing dis-interested midway through." Pharynx said.

"Oh...I guess it really is that complicated." Spitfire said. It was no secret that Amiticia is like the only changeling whose smart enough to keep up with Twilgiht most of the time. While there's the occastional moment when Twilight does her "Twilight-ing" thing that even Amiticia can't follow along with, it's known that when that does happen, it means it really is that complicated.

"Yeah. Beats me how Amiticia keeps up with Twi so much but...that just proves he's perfect for her. I doubt that crystal guard stallion Flash Sentry could keep up with Twilight this much." Rainbow Dash said.

"At least he's trying to date Moondancer who seems a lot like Twilight at times." Pharynx said.

"But with the way things are going...I'm expecting them to not be compatible and for her to fall for another Changeling. Maybe Thorax." Rainbow Dash said. "Only one of us not even interested in a Changeling is Fluttershy really, but considering how much time she's spent with Discord lately...I think I know why." She said.

"Wait...what's that about the rest of you being with changelings?" Spitfire asked.

"Yeah Rarity's dating a changeling whose a complete fashion wizard and Applejack's really into this Changeling Stallion whose a super hard worker. Pinkie Pie so far is the only one not really looking but I think that's because she just saw Cheese Sandwich again and I have a feeling about those two. Means she might be the only one of us who gets together with an outright pony." Rainbow Dash said.

"...And you're okay with that?" Spitfire asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? Not a single changeling has shown to keep up with Pinkie Pie and well...you should know by now that Pinkie Pie is forever going to be Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash noted.

"Yeah...she always seems to come out of nowhere..." Spitfire admitted. "How does she even do most of that anyways?" She asked.

"It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it." Rainbow Dash and Pharynx said at the same time.

"...How'd I know you were going to say that?" Spitfire asked.

Sometime later, Rainbow announced her pregnancy to all her friends.

"That's interesting. Wonder how I'll be to the new foal." Rumble said.

"I think they'll see you as their brother-in-law. I'll make sure of it if things continue to get serious like they have been." Scootlaoo told her coltfriend.

"Wait, things are going that well? Well I'll be darn." Diamond Tiara said.

"Should've expected this really." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah Scootaloo and Rumble just feel like they work well." Smolder said.

"I agree one hundred percent." Spike said.

"Can we all focus please?" Apple Bloom asked.

"No wonder you haven't really been flying much Rainbow Dash. Ah thought something had to change for that." Applejack said.

"Trust me, I don't like being grounded. As soon as the baby is guaranteed fine and is situated, you know I'll be back in the air full time." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah that sounds like you." Applejack said.

"Already went through this with Spitfire AJ." Rainbow Dash said.

"Should've known..." Applejack said.
