Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >Be the One and Only Dash!
  2. 2.
    >And you've been pondering real hard about this subject.
  3. 3.
    >You're a kind of mare that takes charge and tears into a problem.
  4. 4.
    >The problem is your child.
  5. 5.
    >You asked for advice from some random unicorn from Canterlot who's in a similar situation as you.
  6. 6.
    >Something Sparkle.
  7. 7.
    >Teenage parent as well.
  8. 8.
    >Anyway, you open the door.
  9. 9.
    >Anon bolts up from his book.
  10. 10.
    >A geography book, you know his class isn't studying that boring stuff.
  11. 11.
    "There you are squirt."
  12. 12.
    >"Hi Rain--."
  13. 13.
    >Glare at him.
  14. 14.
    >"Mom."
  15. 15.
    >That was problem number one you had to break him out of.
  16. 16.
    >It kind of hurt that he didn't call you mom.
  17. 17.
    >There's respect, and there's outright rejecting any familial attachment.
  18. 18.
    >It is a launching point.
  19. 19.
    "Would be nice if Mom was your first response."
  20. 20.
    >He shrugs.
  21. 21.
    "We need to talk."
  22. 22.
    >His eyes dart between you and anywhere else but you.
  23. 23.
    >"O-ok."
  24. 24.
    >Look at him straight in the eye.
  25. 25.
    "Do you hate me?"
  26. 26.
    >"What!? No!"
  27. 27.
    >He practically springs off the bed.
  28. 28.
    >With a wing you push him back down.
  29. 29.
    "Not so fast. Anon, you say one thing, but clearly your talk game is not your game game."
  30. 30.
    >"Uuuuh."
  31. 31.
    "Not interested in me getting involved in school. Volunteer to hang out with grandgram and grandpappy a lot. Like Anon, I appreciate me time, but there's no us time. And every time I'm looking at Wonderbolt application stuff you get that weird look in your eye."
  32. 32.
    >"Because you should be a Wonderbolt."
  33. 33.
    "That's sweet kid, but not really the point I'm getting at."
  34. 34.
    >Anon huffs.
  35. 35.
    >"Well I don't hate you."
  36. 36.
    >Pick up the face down picture of Zepher on the desk.
  37. 37.
    >"He's...I don't hate him. Just disappointed."
  38. 38.
    >Weird.
  39. 39.
    >Why does he think this way.
  40. 40.
    >This isn't eggheadness.
  41. 41.
    >This is like, something real off.
  42. 42.
    "Do you hate yourself?"
  43. 43.
    >Damn it, you weren't supposed to be that blunt.
  44. 44.
    >Lead into that idiot!
  45. 45.
    >Son is quiet, just rubbing his leg.
  46. 46.
    >"I don't think so."
  47. 47.
    "That is some limp wing response."
  48. 48.
    >"It's just. I know you were going to be in the Wonderbolts. Not weather manager at some earth pony town."
  49. 49.
    >Mare is he implying what you think he's implying?
  50. 50.
    >"I know you're not as fast as you used to be. I ask Aunt Flutters. You could zip real fast. But then I happened."
  51. 51.
    "You can't be serious. Anon Dash, of all the things you could spout. I don't regret having you."
  52. 52.
    >"I've read your workout journal when you found out."
  53. 53.
    "That was me being upset at myself for losing control and getting pregnant. Not upset about you. This is like even worse than my parents. You wish you weren't even born!"
  54. 54.
    >Now your just pacing around the room.
  55. 55.
    "Bucking apples, did I really put that kind of pressure on my own colt?"
  56. 56.
    >"N-no."
  57. 57.
    "Anon. Buck the Wonderbolts."
  58. 58.
    >His eyes go wide.
  59. 59.
    "I want you to be happy. With us. Can we do that?"
  60. 60.
    >Anon is breathing hard.
  61. 61.
    >He doesn't look happy.
  62. 62.
    >What the bucking tartarus is going on here!?
  63. 63.
    >He mumbles something, but you hear anyway.
  64. 64.
    >"Did I just Starlight this whole thing?"
  65. 65.
    >Makes no sense to you.
  66. 66.
    >Crab-apples, you might actually need to take this to a therapist.
  67. 67.
     
  68. 68.
    >Still be the Dash.
  69. 69.
    >Oh yeah.
  70. 70.
    >Not feeling that 'oh yeah' though.
  71. 71.
    >Sitting on the cloud and chatting with the one mare in town that is in a similar boat.
  72. 72.
    "I don't get it, Derpy. Anon is just confusing to me."
  73. 73.
    >Derpy is sticking her tongue out as she spins around on her cloud.
  74. 74.
    >"Well, what happened this time?"
  75. 75.
    >How much can you say?
  76. 76.
    >Shallow your pride and confess that you think you're a complete failure of a mother?
  77. 77.
    "So you are Dinkie are great. Happy relationship. She thinks the world of you."
  78. 78.
    >Derpy stops spinning and slows down.
  79. 79.
    >Drifts closer to you and tilts her head.
  80. 80.
    >"Well yeah. We love each other, and Anon loves you. I can tell you love him too. But I know there'll be a, um."
  81. 81.
    >She pauses a moment, closes her eyes to concentrate.
  82. 82.
    >"A time when a foal will start seeing the world as more than just you. You're not losing something special. They're just growing up. Maybe Anon is a fast grower."
  83. 83.
    >Interesting line of thinking.
  84. 84.
    "That's not really the issue here."
  85. 85.
    >She 'ohs' and rolls over on her back.
  86. 86.
    >This should be a good example.
  87. 87.
    "Let's say that Dinkie is upset about something. She's real dodgy about it. Has a hard time expressing herself."
  88. 88.
    >Derpy nods.
  89. 89.
    "Then you find out what's wrong. She thinks she's responsible for what happened to you."
  90. 90.
    >Spread a wing to emphasis your point.
  91. 91.
    "The amph. Yolp. Drat. Eye thing.
  92. 92.
    >"Strabismic Amblyopia."
  93. 93.
    "That's it. Dinky thinks that because you got pregnant with her your eye problem happened."
  94. 94.
    >She frowns at that thought.
  95. 95.
    >"That's silly, and wrong."
  96. 96.
    >Flare out your wings and shout.
  97. 97.
    "Exactly! He blames himself for me not being in the Wonderbolts."
  98. 98.
    >Slap your wings over your mouth.
  99. 99.
    >Derpy doesn't say anything, just looks at you.
  100. 100.
    >And probably something else, kind of hard to tell.
  101. 101.
    "I wish it was like with what you and Dinkie have. Anon is smart, but also scares me. It would make more sense if he hated me or something. But he doesn't."
  102. 102.
    >"Dash."
  103. 103.
    >The grey pegasus is sitting up straight now.
  104. 104.
    >"This was never going to be easy. Neither of us fly like we use too. Remember when I was best in class?"
  105. 105.
    >You hear some whining down below, but ignore it.
  106. 106.
    >"Now you have an idea of the problem. Tackle it. We can come up with a plan to beat this."
  107. 107.
    >"Hey! You two!"
  108. 108.
    >Both of you stop and look down.
  109. 109.
    >A lavender unicorn is giving you the meanest look.
  110. 110.
    >"I was told you were supposed to get rid of the clouds."
  111. 111.
    >Geez, what's her deal?
  112. 112.
    "Yeah, I'll take care of it."
  113. 113.
    >"With a full sky? Where's the rest of the team?"
  114. 114.
    >Rolling your eyes you tell Derpy to go roost somewhere.
  115. 115.
    >Flex your wings and bolt.
  116. 116.
    >That unicorn doesn't even have time to blink before the sky is clear.
  117. 117.
    >Float down gently.
  118. 118.
    "There. You happy? 10 seconds for you princess."
  119. 119.
    >She rolls her eyes.
  120. 120.
    >"Well that takes care of that. I can only hope the rest of this festival is just as smooth"
  121. 121.
    "And who are you?"
  122. 122.
    >A quick glance at the young drake catches your eye.
  123. 123.
    >"Twilight Sparkle."
  124. 124.
    >That stops you.
  125. 125.
    "No way! I'm Rainbow Dash!"
  126. 126.
    >"You!? We've been pen pals! How's Anon?"
  127. 127.
     
  128. 128.
    >In the mind and body of The Dash.
  129. 129.
    >Hey cool, Twilight Sparkle.
  130. 130.
    >Never thought you'd meet the mare.
  131. 131.
    >The drake waves his little claws at you.
  132. 132.
    >"You two know each other?
  133. 133.
    "Part of the single mother's support group. You must be Spike."
  134. 134.
    >He shakes your hoof.
  135. 135.
    >"Oh right. Twilight, didn't Celestia have you start that group so you can make friends? One of many attempts. Kind of like today."
  136. 136.
    >Twilight's pleased expression evaporated to a even tempered glare.
  137. 137.
    >"I'd like to think that the help the group proved was more beneficial then me finding a friend."
  138. 138.
    >Looking between the two, you can tell he's ribbing her.
  139. 139.
    >A bit more of a relaxed relationship then you'd expect.
  140. 140.
    >Whatever, you ain't judging her parenting style when your own still needs work.
  141. 141.
    >"Also now that we have officially meet Ms. Dash. I can say we did meet a friend."
  142. 142.
    "Yeah. Still though, now that we have a chance to meet, thanks for the advice."
  143. 143.
    >She beams brightly.
  144. 144.
    >"My pleasure, and thank you as well."
  145. 145.
    >Then she waits, with her smile.
  146. 146.
    >Leading on to something.
  147. 147.
    >Clears her throat.
  148. 148.
    >"So Anon?"
  149. 149.
    >Not sure if you really want to vomit your woes on her.
  150. 150.
    >Doing it on Derpy was exhausting enough.
  151. 151.
    "You're overseeing the celebrating right? My son is with his Aunt Fluttershy helping her with the bird choir. Get a first impression of him."
  152. 152.
    >Twilight tilts her head at that.
  153. 153.
    >You can tell she wants to ask more.
  154. 154.
    >"Sure. It's on the checklist anyway. Speaking of, decorations?"
  155. 155.
    "Boutique. Looks like a carnival ride. Real tacky. Rarity runs it."
  156. 156.
    "Cool. Spike, keep it real my dragon dude."
  157. 157.
    >"You know it!"
  158. 158.
    >They go trotting off, leaving you with nothing to do.
  159. 159.
    >Work got done sooner than you were planning.
  160. 160.
    >You know what, sneaking time.
  161. 161.
    >Let's watch your son help Fluttershy.
  162. 162.
    >Then see how he reacts to the new unicorn.
  163. 163.
    >---
  164. 164.
    >Despite being as colorful as the rainbow, your sneaking skills are still top notch.
  165. 165.
    >Sure enough your son is helping Fluttershy.
  166. 166.
    >Anon is being a little standoffish.
  167. 167.
    >Now that you think about it, is he acting the same way around her?
  168. 168.
    >Fluttershy, being the passive self she is, doesn't seem all to bothered by it.
  169. 169.
    >Then again, she really hides her emotions.
  170. 170.
    >Need to ask her if she's noticed anything.
  171. 171.
    >"Anon, could you get the water tray ready? Our little friends are going to need to break from singing soon.
  172. 172.
    >"Sure."
  173. 173.
    >The birds seem to appreciate the water cooler time.
  174. 174.
    >Fluttershy huddles closer to her nephew.
  175. 175.
    >"So, have you tried to look for your cutie mark?"
  176. 176.
    >Anon looks up, more than a little surprised at the question.
  177. 177.
    >"When I was your age I was looking forward to it. Your dad was asking."
  178. 178.
    >Puff your cheeks in frustration at the mention of that stallion.
  179. 179.
    >Your little boy mirrors your expression.
  180. 180.
    >"Zephyr can ask me himself. I'm not going to yell at him."
  181. 181.
    >Fluttershy hums at that answer.
  182. 182.
    >"Anon. Your father has me as a sister growing up. He had to learn how to read me. Now, you're a bright young colt. How would you describe your Aunt Fluttershy?"
  183. 183.
    >"Meek."
  184. 184.
    >Understating it.
  185. 185.
     
  186. 186.
    >Fluttershy doesn't object to the answer from Anon.
  187. 187.
    >"I would go with reserved. Zephyr was able to understand me even when I was withdrawn."
  188. 188.
    >Anon looks like he isn't buying it.
  189. 189.
    >"Aunt Fluttershy, Zephyr still tries to hit on Rainbow."
  190. 190.
    >Straining her grin, Fluttershy pats him on the head.
  191. 191.
    >"His heart still pines for her."
  192. 192.
    >"He might as well be headbutting a brick wall."
  193. 193.
    >Well your son isn't wrong.
  194. 194.
    >Fluttershy sighs, she clearly had hoped this conversation was going somewhere else.
  195. 195.
    >"Do you want your parents to get back together?"
  196. 196.
    >Anon doesn't even blink at that idea.
  197. 197.
    >"What I want doesn't matter. They need to have a working relationship before they can even consider a romantic one."
  198. 198.
    >Subtle as a brick, also really need to figure out how to give himself some value.
  199. 199.
    >Serious self-depreciation going on.
  200. 200.
    >Ears perk up with the familiar sound of Twilight Sparkle and Spike.
  201. 201.
    >Was wondering when they would show up.
  202. 202.
    >Fluttershy and Anon are having the birds sing again.
  203. 203.
    >Just in time to not realize they have guests.
  204. 204.
    >Twilight practically bumbles her way onto the scene.
  205. 205.
    >"Oh good the bird choir. Hello!"
  206. 206.
    >The birds scream, Fluttershy almost screams, Anon screams.
  207. 207.
    >"Princess Twilight!"
  208. 208.
    >What?
  209. 209.
    >"What?"
  210. 210.
    >"I'm sorry what?"
  211. 211.
    >Anon looks like he was just caught with a hoof in the cookie jar.
  212. 212.
    >Something he has never done.
  213. 213.
    >"...shit.."
  214. 214.
    >He's says quietly.
  215. 215.
    >"Well that's a first."
  216. 216.
    >Spike says next to you.
  217. 217.
    "Yeah."
  218. 218.
    >There's a pregnant pause between the two groups.
  219. 219.
    >The fact that your hiding spot was so easily blown, and Twilight is just trying to process what your son just said.
  220. 220.
    ---
  221. 221.
    Be Anon, about time.
  222. 222.
    >Shit, Twilight was princess longer than she was a unicorn.
  223. 223.
    >Stupid, stupid, stupid!
  224. 224.
    ---
  225. 225.
    Back to being Rainbow
  226. 226.
    >"That's just silly. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Not a princess, though I am her student. I'm guessing your mom told you I was coming."
  227. 227.
    >You didn't.
  228. 228.
    >Wait a moment, you didn't.
  229. 229.
    >Anon just gulps and doesn't say anything.
  230. 230.
    >Great skies he's sweating hard.
  231. 231.
    >He looks even more stressed than when you asked if he hated himself.
  232. 232.
    >Kind of hoped Fluttershy would step in to the rescue.
  233. 233.
    >Forget it, you'll come out.
  234. 234.
    "Anon, there you are. I finished my work. Chatting it up with Twilight here?"
  235. 235.
    >Twilight is now studying Anon a little more closely.
  236. 236.
    >Your son's eyes dart between the two of you.
  237. 237.
    >"Uh, yeah. She surprised me."
  238. 238.
    >Twilight's bullshit meter must work, she raises an eyebrow at that.
  239. 239.
    >"Well the bird music sounds beautiful."
  240. 240.
    >"Yup. Fluttershy did a great job. You should talk to her. She's important. I mean her work is important. Twilight, this is Fluttershy. She's very kind and talks to animals."
  241. 241.
    >Word vomit salad aside, he isn't wrong.
  242. 242.
    "She's your aunt as well. Thanks sis for watching him."
  243. 243.
    >Fluttershy isn't listening, for her gaze just saw a baby dragon.
  244. 244.
    >"Baby!"
  245. 245.
    >Oh right, Spike.
  246. 246.
    >He takes the attention in stride.
  247. 247.
    >Anon, on the other hoof, is melting under the attention.
  248. 248.
    "If we're done here, you want to go anywhere?"
  249. 249.
    >"Library."
  250. 250.
     
  251. 251.
    >Fluttershy won't stop asking Spike questions.
  252. 252.
    >Which, yeah, you understand.
  253. 253.
    >Also, you're Rainbow The Dash.
  254. 254.
    >Anyway, you hope that Twilight would get insight on Anon's strange behavior won't go anywhere now.
  255. 255.
    >He's shut down.
  256. 256.
    >Quietly trotting along side you as you make way to the party.
  257. 257.
    >The party Twilight doesn't realize she's about to stumble into.
  258. 258.
    >She hasn't asked Anon anything.
  259. 259.
    >Twilight looks to you, and all you can do is shrug.
  260. 260.
    "So Anon, Twilight here is an old pen-pal. You might remember me mentioning her. Like when you didn't cry as a baby I was real worried. She wrote back saying while unusual it happens sometimes."
  261. 261.
    >"Oh yeah, I remember you writing that one to me."
  262. 262.
    >Twilight taps her chin as she recalls.
  263. 263.
    >Anon nods, ears still down and staring at the ground.
  264. 264.
    >What?
  265. 265.
    >Is he worried about saying something now?
  266. 266.
    >Maybe don't push it.
  267. 267.
    >Look back up to Twilight and shake your head.
  268. 268.
    >Twilight gives Anon one last determined look before dropping it and looking ahead.
  269. 269.
    >Spike, on the other hoof, just told Fluttershy his entire life story.
  270. 270.
    >It's a little strange Anon isn't interested in Spike at all.
  271. 271.
    >This is a dragon.
  272. 272.
    >Baby yeah, but you've known Anon to always be interested in dragons.
  273. 273.
    >Can your kid be suicidal?
  274. 274.
    >Are there signs?
  275. 275.
    >You feel a strong urge to hug him and not let go.
  276. 276.
    >Could be overreacting.
  277. 277.
    >Better to overreact then being wrong.
  278. 278.
    >"Oh here's the library."
  279. 279.
    >Right, time to cover your ears.
  280. 280.
    >Pinkie always goes over board.
  281. 281.
    >Odd that Anon never asked to have her do his birthday parties.
  282. 282.
    >Always Bon Bon.
  283. 283.
    >You feel the same way, Pinkie is way too much.
  284. 284.
    >How you can be friends with somepony like her is a mystery.
  285. 285.
    >Twilight is immediately bowled over, Fluttershy cowers.
  286. 286.
    >Yup, the usual happens.
  287. 287.
    >Pinkie Pie is going to Pinkie Pie.
  288. 288.
    >First impressions, you doubt Twilight is going to enjoy this.
  289. 289.
    >Whatever, let it happen.
  290. 290.
    >Look down to your son, and he's watching the two of them.
  291. 291.
    >You blink a moment, and you see a smile.
  292. 292.
    >Like he's reliving an old memory.
  293. 293.
    >Not sure where your hunch comes from, maybe a mother's intuition.
  294. 294.
    >And there goes Twilight drinking the hot sauce.
  295. 295.
    "Well that could've gone better. Anon, go chat up with Spike. Not often you get someone like him roll into town."
  296. 296.
    >"He's wearing a lamp shade."
  297. 297.
    "That's how you know he knows how to have fun. Come on, we only have a little bit of time before the sun rising. I ain't going to let you sleep past this one."
  298. 298.
    >Anon looks up the stairs where Twilight ran up.
  299. 299.
    >"'K."
  300. 300.
    >You sigh as he moseys on over to the drake.
  301. 301.
    >Fluttershy next to you also sighs.
  302. 302.
    >"Aw, he's going to make friends with a dragon his own age. What a beautiful thing."
  303. 303.
    "I hope so. Was he acting weird today?"
  304. 304.
    >"Besides what you told me what he said? Just more reserved. Still helpful. My parents are concern."
  305. 305.
    "Well yeah, who wouldn't be?"
  306. 306.
    >"Did you tell his dad?"
  307. 307.
    "Yes."
  308. 308.
    >That short stern answer tells Fluttershy everything.
  309. 309.
    >"He cares."
  310. 310.
    >"Hey girls! Cupcake?"
  311. 311.
    >Pinkie Pie has slide her way between the two of you.
  312. 312.
     
  313. 313.
    >Be Spike the dragon.
  314. 314.
    >Wait don't leave.
  315. 315.
    >Crushing it on the dance floor with the other ponies.
  316. 316.
    >Anon is with you, doing a pretty normal pony trot.
  317. 317.
    >Poor equines can't match these moves.
  318. 318.
    >"I'm grab'n a drink."
  319. 319.
    "Oh, I want one too. I really want that hot sauce."
  320. 320.
    >That gets a chuckle out of him.
  321. 321.
    >There's a mare at the bar watching the two of you.
  322. 322.
    >Don't worry lady, we're not going to grab the adult drinks.
  323. 323.
    "Pinkie parties are great. You probably enjoy them all the time."
  324. 324.
    >Anon carefully balances his cup in his wing.
  325. 325.
    >Interesting, it looks like how you hold stuff with your claws.
  326. 326.
    >"Not really. She's got something going on everyday, which is more than I can handle."
  327. 327.
    "And Rarity looks so beautiful when she dances."
  328. 328.
    >How how your heart flutters for that beautiful unicorn.
  329. 329.
    >"Really? Her? Spike, you come from Canterlot. A city of unicorns; I'm pretty sure you got some knock out gorgeous mares up there."
  330. 330.
    >No accounting for taste.
  331. 331.
    >Poor Anon and his plebeian tastes.
  332. 332.
    >"Grass is, no wait better analogy, emeralds are always greener on the other mountain?"
  333. 333.
    "Probably need to workshop that one a bit longer, but I get what you're saying."
  334. 334.
    >"So does Twilight really not have any friends?"
  335. 335.
    >Right, that thing that Princess Celestia wrote about.
  336. 336.
    "I mean, it's not entirely true, but it has gotten worse. She practically ran away from the idea of attending Moondancer's birthday party."
  337. 337.
    >Anon cringes at that.
  338. 338.
    >"That poor mare. You gotta check up on her, she's probably devastated."
  339. 339.
    >Play with your empty cup.
  340. 340.
    "Eh, she has other friends."
  341. 341.
    >Anon's face flashes with a bit of anger, but it vanishes so fast you think you just imagined it.
  342. 342.
    "You got friends? I'll be honest you seem pretty reclusive yourself."
  343. 343.
    >He nods.
  344. 344.
    >"A few close ones. In Cloudsdale and here."
  345. 345.
    >"Don't listen to him. This guy is lying his tail off."
  346. 346.
    >A new challenger appears.
  347. 347.
    >"Hey Scootaloo, and yeah they're my friends. Adults make for good friends"
  348. 348.
    >Some orange pegasus has slinked her way to the drink bar too.
  349. 349.
    >"Spike right? You're probably the longest Anon has talked to anyone his own age. Willingly."
  350. 350.
    >She seems a little vindictive.
  351. 351.
    >History?
  352. 352.
    >"Hey, Spike is a dragon. Which is pretty cool. Got you to come up and talk to him."
  353. 353.
    >Aw, thanks Anon.
  354. 354.
    >Scootaloo just glares at Anon.
  355. 355.
    >Anon, just doesn't seem to care.
  356. 356.
    >Then he just yells.
  357. 357.
    >"Pinkie! Cupcake for Scoots stat!"
  358. 358.
    >Scootaloo's eyes widen.
  359. 359.
    >"Not again! Anon you jerk!"
  360. 360.
    >Pinkie Pie swoops in from up high and grabs the filly.
  361. 361.
    >"Cupcake time! Weeeee!"
  362. 362.
    >You give Anon a questioning look.
  363. 363.
    >He shrugs.
  364. 364.
    >"She worships the air my mom flies on. Has strong feelings about how I don't appreciate it."
  365. 365.
    >Not fully buying that explanation, but whatever.
  366. 366.
    "Right, better check up on Twilight. What to help?"
  367. 367.
    >"That's ok. We'll be leaving soonish."
  368. 368.
     
  369. 369.
    >It's great to be Rainbow Dash again.
  370. 370.
    >Your time perception is tingling.
  371. 371.
    >Got a knack for that when perfecting weather patterns and time schedules.
  372. 372.
    >It's close to the big ol' sun rising.
  373. 373.
    "Gals, it's time to get going. Anon, get your fluffy rump over here. We got a princess to go witness."
  374. 374.
    >Herds move in the masses, but you spot your boy easily as he maneuvers to you.
  375. 375.
    "You weren't picking on Scootaloo again were you?"
  376. 376.
    >The frustrated puffing of his cheeks is still adorable.
  377. 377.
    >"I am always polite. It isn't my fault she has a feather to pick with me."
  378. 378.
    "Maybe she has a crush on you squirt."
  379. 379.
    >He quickly retorts, not even slightly embarrassed.
  380. 380.
    >"She has a crush on her idol. You, Dash."
  381. 381.
    >...
  382. 382.
    >"M-mom."
  383. 383.
    "Thank you."
  384. 384.
    >Fluttershy practically buts her way in the conversation.
  385. 385.
    >"I saw you Anon! Your aunt Fluttershy is so proud of you making friends with Spike. He's a very cute baby dragon."
  386. 386.
    >Anon actually takes a step back from his eager aunt.
  387. 387.
    >"Well it was a positive interaction. I don't know if we can call it a friendship. Working up to acquaintance."
  388. 388.
    >"I think he would love to be your friend."
  389. 389.
    >Now he's looking annoyed.
  390. 390.
    >So does Twilight behind him.
  391. 391.
    >Oh hey, Twilight is here.
  392. 392.
    >"Great. Glad this is working out. Where is the town hall? I really want to get this moving."
  393. 393.
    >Geez, gnawing on her horn?
  394. 394.
    >Outside the library you take point for the group.
  395. 395.
    >"Dashie. 'Nonny!"
  396. 396.
    >You shudder.
  397. 397.
    >Anon shudders.
  398. 398.
    >He's here.
  399. 399.
    >Zephyr Breeze is here, why?
  400. 400.
    >Even the other ponies around you all are giving you a wide birth.
  401. 401.
    >A quick glance at Fluttershy, who is looking a little guilty right now.
  402. 402.
    "Just Rainbow Dash."
  403. 403.
    >Twilight watches with curious attention as he bodily picks up Anon and gives him a hug.
  404. 404.
    >Anon looks real uncomfortable.
  405. 405.
    >"You're his father?"
  406. 406.
    >"He's Zephyr Breeze."
  407. 407.
    >Anon answers her, his dad pulls back.
  408. 408.
    >"Hey there little Anon, just dad is fine."
  409. 409.
    >"How the airship project go?"
  410. 410.
    >Zephry missteps as Anon just cuts him a no nonsense question.
  411. 411.
    >"Or did you move on to the next goal again?"
  412. 412.
    >Sweating a bit, Zephyr puts him down.
  413. 413.
    >"Don't worry about that my boy. I'm here for you!"
  414. 414.
    >"I'm fine."
  415. 415.
    >Ouch, that deadpan delivery.
  416. 416.
    >Twilight actually steps up next to them.
  417. 417.
    >"Actually while we talk to the town hall, could you tell me more about yourself?"
  418. 418.
    >Zephry pauses as he processes this new pony.
  419. 419.
    >Then he looks at you.
  420. 420.
    >And her again.
  421. 421.
    >A wiry grin crosses his face.
  422. 422.
    >"You're not going to get Dash jealous. Don't bother."
  423. 423.
    >Like a gunshot, Anon just shoots his father down.
  424. 424.
    >He coughs almost uncontrollably.
  425. 425.
    >"No love for your dear pops?"
  426. 426.
    >"Just saving you the trouble."
  427. 427.
    >Twilight is actually writing down something in a notebook floating next to her.
  428. 428.
    >"Mr. Breeze, I was in a support group for teenage mothers. Granted, Ms. Dash and I have aged out of the group. However, I am curious about what you do for a living?"
  429. 429.
    >Like he was just caught sleeping on a thunder cloud, Zephry pauses from the onslaught of information.
  430. 430.
    >"Exploring my options right now."
