(The PokeGear finally clicks on after what seems like days of nonactivity but really wasn't. Considering the trainer who's holding it up you'd think it's either late in the morning or early afternoon. What she's holding it up at? The nearby city sign that states: 'Violet City: The City of Nostalgic Scents' which is pulled away after a few seconds or so has passed.
Rainbow Dash quickly points the screen at her two Pokemon eggs, which arrived during the weekend -or maybe the day before, the days all kinda blur when you're traveling in cold weather- before pointing it at herself and grinning despite shivering at the same time.
She heard about what happened with Falkner, but she can wait. What's most important? Finding the Pokemon Center and seeing her closest friends again.)
...YOUR F-FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD R-RAINBOW D-DASH HAS ARRIVED IN VIOLET!!!
(Feel free to ask Dash about her message as she clicks the 'Gear off almost immediately and clutches her eggs. Warmth was very hard to come by during this time of year -unless you were inside with a heater- and she could only keep Blaze out for so long...!)

Date: 2012-12-18 06:05 am (UTC)(While she's very pleased to see one of her best friends, Rainbow can't help but notice Twilight's expression.)
Think it might be...Team Rocket?
action
Date: 2012-12-18 02:22 pm (UTC)action
Date: 2012-12-18 03:58 pm (UTC)...Not any worse than the ones Rainbow had with Applejack, but at least they could compete.)
I'm gonna take that as a yes.
(She pulls away from Fluttershy a bit to eye Twilight, squeezing her shoulder as the eggs glowed and shined.)
action
Date: 2012-12-18 05:44 pm (UTC)Well, they are the only group I can think of that could actually pull something like this off. It's possible it's another group or a person acting on their own, but... not likely. That's not what we disagreed on though.
[Hunching her shoulders, she drops her head a bit, looking guilty.] I... may have allowed my anger at the situation and those behind it to get the best of me, and said some things I shouldn't have. Shy... Capella did tell you it's not you I'm angry with, didn't she?
action
Date: 2012-12-19 01:05 am (UTC)She did... but... but I was so worried that I might make it worse, so... I've been trying to keep quiet...
[... can you even get quieter, flutters]
action
Date: 2012-12-19 01:55 am (UTC)Okay, we get it: Twilight's sorry for not taking her own advice and getting real angry, and Flutters accepts. Now get over here and let's make this a group hug already!
action
Date: 2012-12-19 03:56 am (UTC)You're the one calling for a group hug? You really must have missed us, Rainbow.
[She accepts though, wrapping her arms around the two and squeezing them tightly. She stays just like that, soaking up the feeling of having two of her friends together with her again... until a voice speaks up in the heads of all three of them.]
I'm very happy for the lot of you. [Starswirl's dry tone makes it hard to tell if he's being serious.] But you might want to check the eggs.
action
Date: 2012-12-19 01:24 pm (UTC)Oh! This is... They're hatching! The eggs are hatching!
action
Date: 2012-12-19 03:46 pm (UTC)(Rainbow totally didn't expect to hear from Starswirl, turning to face Twilight's Pokemon briefly before looking at her eggs.)
No way...! THIS is how Pokemon are born?!
(And with that, the eggs glowed and flashed brightly until both took on the shape of two baby Pokemon, looking up at Rainbow curiously -and then at Flutters and Twilight- before smiling.)
Squirtle~!
Pichu~!
action
Date: 2012-12-19 06:27 pm (UTC)Well, congratulations, Rainbow. Looks like you've got your firstborn.
[... Awkward way of putting it, Twi.]
action
Date: 2012-12-20 12:07 am (UTC)Oooh, they're so cute! Look at them! What precious little darlings!
action
Date: 2012-12-20 12:42 am (UTC)Plus, it didn't help that both Pichu and Squirtle were enjoying the attention and love Fluttershy was providing them.)
...B-but Flutters held them the entire time we were here! She carried them until they were born, right?
(...Did you and Twilight read from the same book again, Dash?)
action
Date: 2012-12-20 04:50 am (UTC)Are you saying you didn't carry them the entire time from when you got them to the Center, Dash?
[And why does she feel this weird sense of innuendo...}
action
Date: 2012-12-20 02:27 pm (UTC)You're both so soft! And so warm! And cuddly! And cute! Oooh, we're all going to be such good friends!
action
Date: 2012-12-20 05:20 pm (UTC)And while Squirtle enjoys it as well Pichu happily responded back, asking Fluttershy questions in Pokespeak like 'Are you my Mama?' and 'Are we gonna have fun?')
They're giant eggs! Of course I carried them but you can only hold and rub them against your chest for so long; I had to carry them under my arms sometimes so they wouldn't fall.
(Definitely a feeling of innuendo...Twilight's not alone.)
action
Date: 2012-12-20 06:00 pm (UTC)[The idea of a warm, soft turtle is apparently bizarre enough to distract her from her earlier train of thought. Which, let's be honest here, is probably a good thing.]
action
Date: 2012-12-20 07:30 pm (UTC)Of course we'll have fun... we'll have lots of fun. But I'm not your mama...
[Though that does give her pause. hmmm.]
... I think Rainbow Dash is your mama!
action
Date: 2012-12-20 08:01 pm (UTC)Wha-I mean-Fluttershy...how can you...why would you say that?!
(Once she recalls it, she'll ask Twilight about that point she was trying to say a moment ago.)
action
Date: 2012-12-20 10:56 pm (UTC)But... Fluttershy, they have actual parents. You know, the ones that made the eggs?
action
Date: 2012-12-21 01:01 am (UTC)[She awkwardly tries to cover the babies ears with her arms, but can't. so she tries to hold them both with one arm, and then lean over to whisper... well, fluttershy level whispering.]
But they won't get to see their parents. Breeders babies rarely ever see their parents. And this way, they'll bond with Dash better, don't you think?
action
Date: 2012-12-21 01:30 am (UTC)cuteunique Dash-like way she had when she realized Fluttershy had a point.Which happened very often these days.)
I get what you're saying, but...can you see that happening? Me being a mom to somepony's kid? Or Pokemon, whatever...!
action
Date: 2012-12-21 04:36 am (UTC)Then again, that would be Aristo and Sapphire, and it's hard to feel maternal about an arrogant green snake and something so... huge. I guess I did feel a bit motherly about Sapphire for a while before she evolved... or at least big-sisterly.
action
Date: 2012-12-21 02:14 pm (UTC)[She puts Squirtle in Rainbow's arms, and pets Pichu, speaking to the mons.]
Rainbow Dash can be the mommy, and Twilight and I will be the Aunties!
action
Date: 2012-12-21 04:54 pm (UTC)As for Rainbow? That earlier
cutepouting look came back for a moment before she sighed and grinned.)...Heh, yeah I guess that can work! Besides, Auntie Fluttershy will help me out when I need it - Auntie Twilight's got our training under control, too.
action
Date: 2012-12-22 01:04 am (UTC)So are we their cousins now?
[Again, it's really, really hard to tell if Starswirl's mind-voice is sarcastic or just extremely dry. Twilight gives him a look.]
