Chapter 4: Run For The Hills!

It was another peaceful day in Ponyville. Or at least it was until the biggest stallion in town started to chase down a Wonderbolt. The two of them had started to race around town, quickly followed by Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, and Applejack, all three of them trying to save Soarin's life.

"Big Mac, stop chasing him!" Rainbow shouted, trying to get heard over the wind. Big Mac could probably run faster than the Ponyville express at this point.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Big Mac shouted, pushing himself harder to catch up to Soarin. Soarin has tried to fly away from Big Mac, but he still somehow managed to follow him no matter how high he went. The five of them had been running for at least three hours now, and the three mares that were running with them were starting to get tired.

"Soarin!" Applejack shouted,  tripping over a tree root. She had been following them by sound, but every now and then she tripped up, but this time she lost her footing. Soarin quickly took a sharp turn, nearly getting run over by Big Mac in the process, and picked up Applejack, now flying in the opposite direction. Applejack was holding onto Soarin's neck as tight as she could.

"Why don't you just fly away?!" Applejack screamed, feeling Soarin jump over something.

"I've tried like five times!" Soarin shouted, grunting as he had to duck under a branch, "He just won't stop chasing me!". He grunted again as he took a sharp turn, nearly throwing Applejack off. She groaned as she struggled to stay on Soarin's back, having to ride him like a bull, with her hind legs holding her onto Soarin.

"Hey, watch where you put your hooves!" Soarin shouted as Applejack hit something between his hind legs. She blushed when the realized what she hit. She quickly turned her head sideways so she could hear Big Mac behind them. He was still there, pounding along behind them, throwing dirt up everywhere, but she couldn't hear Rainbow or Spitfire anymore. Did they fall back to take a break?

"HOLD ON TIGHT!" Soarin shouted, causing Applejack to turn her head back forwards, holding on tighter than she was before. She could feel herself suddenly get pulled to the back, meaning he had shot straight up. Before she could ask what was going on she felt herself get thrown upwards, letting her know that he decided to level himself off.

"Why'd you stop?" Applejack asked, bringing herself next to Soarin's head.

"Because if I kept going we would end up in ghastly gorge" Soarin said flatly. Applejack paused for a second, trying to hear if her brother had stopped too, but a sudden yelp from Soarin distracted her.

"What happened?" Applejack asked as she felt Soarin start to move again.

"HE'S THROWING ROCKS AT US!" Soarin shouted, starting to pick up speed as he flew away. Applejack heard a rock go flying past, most likely barely missing Soarin's wing. Another rock came flying up, hitting Applejack in the flank.

"FLY FASTER SOARIN" Applejack cried, yet another rock flying up, this time hitting Soarin's flank.

"I'm trying, by Celestia, I'M TRYING!" Soarin cried, a rock hitting right in the chin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Down in Ponyville park two ponies were laying next to each other on a picnic blanket, cuddling up next to each other. They had just finished eating lunch and were now enjoying each other's company, giving each other a kiss every now and then. The stallion lifted his head up to see what time it was when a rock hit him right between the eyes.

"Are you okay?!" the mare next to him shouted as she jumped in front of the stallion, looking into his face.

"Where did a rock come from?" the stallion said while rubbing his head, a small trickle of blood coming down his nose.

"Give me a second, I'll grab a band aid" the mare said, quickly using her magic to pull a band aid out of her bag, which was just a few feet away. She quickly put the band aid on the stallion's head, kissing where she had put the band aid.

"Thanks muffin" the stallion said, looking up to kiss the mare. They quickly kissed, breaking apart when they heard shouting coming from nearby. They looked over to see a blue Pegasus with an orange Earth pony on his back, the two of them being chased by a large red Earth pony. The couple quickly jumped out of the way, managing to hear a small sorry as the blue Pegasus flew past. A few seconds later the Earth pony ran past, getting caught up in their picnic blanket and flying to the ground.

"What in tarnation?!" the stallion shouted as he got to his feet, the voice sounding familiar to the two ponies who's date he had interrupted.

"Big Mac?" the mare asked quietly.

"Eeyup" Big Mac said as he turned to the couple, "Sorry about that, but I gotta go". He quickly turned around and continued to chase after the Pegasus.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I hope we didn't mess up their picnic" Soarin said as he looked back to see what had happened to Big Mac. He chuckled when Big Mac got caught in the picnic blanket, causing him to take a dive.

"What happened?" Applejack asked when she heard the loud thud Big Mac had made when he fell.

"He chased me through the park, making me interrupt a picnic and then he got caught in the ponies' blanket" Soarin said smugly, still laughing at Big Mac's fall. Applejack grinned as she thought about her brother tripping on a picnic blanket, but got serious again when she heard Soarin swear under his breath.

"What is it?" Applejack asked, feeling Soarin slow down.

"He's back up, but now we're in Ponyville" Soarin said, swearing again as he moved from side to side, most likely dodging buildings and ponies. Every now and then Applejack could hear parts of conversations.

"Vinyl, you need to learn to appreciate classical music"

"Colgate, where's my wine?!"

"Derpy come on, we need to get back to the TARDIS"

"Sis?"

The last voice caused Soarin to stop, making Applejack squish up against him. Soarin quickly let Applejack off, and she heard three ponies walk towards her.

"What's going on sis?" Applebloom asked quietly, the sight of her riding on Soarin's back confusing her.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle echoed from either side of Applebloom.

"Well, currently we are running from your brother" Soarin said sarcastically, "but we have also interrupted a picnic, caused mass chaos in the market, and scared Mayor Mare"

"Yeah..." Applejack said slowly, "Wait when did we scare the mayor?"

"A few minutes ago when we went shooting past her" Soarin said honestly. The two ponies' conversation made the fillies burst out in laughter, but they stopped when they heard the sound of hooves pounding on the ground steadily growing louder.

"SOARIN!"

"Was that Big Mac?" Scootaloo asked.

"Eeyup" Applebloom said sadly, walking towards the sound of her brother running. She stopped in her brother's path, forcing him to slow down and come to a stop in front of her.

"What are you doing, I could have hit you!" Big Mac shouted, but Applebloom didn't move.

"I stopped because I want to know why you're chasing Soarin and sis through town" Applebloom said calmly.

"He got her pregnant, he deserves to be in pain!" Big Mac growled, his hooves digging into the dirt beneath him.

"Hey sis?" Applebloom asked loudly.

"Yeah?" Applejack replied, not sure what Applebloom was doing.

"Are you okay with the fact that Soarin got you pregnant?" Applebloom asked, causing Big Mac to growl.

"Well, uh, yeah..." Applejack said shyly, shrinking away from Big Mac, bumping into Soarin as she did. Soarin gasped quietly when she hit him, but then her quickly put a hoof around her neck.

"But..." Big Mac said as he stepped forward, "Why are you okay with this?"

"Because it's my fault" Applejack said flatly, making Big Mac groan.

"Why did you have to go and do that sis?" Big Mac moaned, now realizing that he had just chased Soarin all around Ponyville for no reason at all. Applejack had obviously given Soarin her consent, so what business did Big Mac have with them anymore, but one thing still bugged him.

"Do you two plan on getting married now that you have a child together?"

"Well, uh..." Soarin said, rubbing the back of his head, "I don't know yet"

"What?!" Big Mac said quickly, his hooves digging back into the ground. Applejack quickly reached her hoof out to calm Big Mac down, lowering it after he stood back up again.

"We haven't discussed that yet, but don't worry, we'll talk tonight" Applejack said sternly, turning her head towards Soarin as she finished. If she could see she would be giving him the stink eye right now. She could feel him back away slowly, laughing nervously as he did.

"Where do you think you're going?" Applejack asked coldly, making Soarin stop immediately.

"Nowhere!" Soarin said quickly as he ran back to Applejack's side as fast as he could. He laughed nervously, making Applejack think Big Mac was eyeing him down. Before she could suggest heading back to the farm she heard two pairs of wings flapping nearby.

"Did you finally give up Soarin?" Spitfire asked mockingly.

"Yeah what gives, I was hoping to see some action" Rainbow said while laughing, Spitfire joining in seconds later.

"No, we explained what was going on" Soarin said angrily, not liking the fact that Spitfire and Rainbow wanted to see him get hurt. Applejack laughed with them, making Soarin groan.

"Aww, well, at least things are okay between you two now" Spitfire said as she landed next to Soarin, patting him on the back.

"Yeah, but did you tell him yet Soarin?" Rainbow asked as she landed next to Big Mac.

"Tell him what?" Soarin asked bluntly, not sure what she was talking about. Rainbow didn't reply, but Applejack could hear her whisper something to Big Mac, making him growl and dig his hooves into the ground again.

"SOARIN!" Big Mac shouted, preparing to charge at Soarin again. Soarin quickly let go of Applejack, flying away as fast as he could so he wouldn't be beaten to a pulp by Big Mac. Whatever Rainbow had said to Big Mac had obviously made him hate Soarin again.

"What did you say Rainbow" Spitfire asked as she laughed.

"That he has a girlfriend already" Rainbow said as she joined Spitfire in laughing.

"Where is Soarin flying off too now?" Applejack asked, wanting to know if where he was going was going to keep him safe from Big Mac.

"Looks like he's going to go over the hills between us and Canterlot" Spitfire said quietly as she took off to get a better view, "Yup, he's running to the hills"

"I hope he can keep flying at that speed or Applejack here is going to be a single mom" Rainbow said as she started to laugh again, soon to be joined in by both Spitfire and Applejack. They all knew he would be fine, eventually Big Mac would give up and decided to wait for him at the farm. Applejack made a mental note to tell Big Mac that Rainbow was just joking later, but for now all she wanted to do was lay down. It had been one crazy day so far, and she was tired from it already.

"Hey Applebloom?" Applejack asked loudly after hearing her start to walk away.

"Yeah sis?" Applebloom replied, turning to face her.

"Mind helping me get home?" Applejack asked as she giggled, thinking about how Soarin is going to react when he gets back to the house.
