Rift: Because on my right eye I have a scar and the definition of rift is a small disturbance.
Fluttershy: Neat.
Rift: Ok we're up.
Rift: Though our army is scattered across Equistria we will crush the changling rebels.
Fluttershy: But, um general Linclon, the civil war still rages on with no end in sight how are we going to stop the changlings if they outnumber us?
Big Macintosh: Sir, we have reports comming from Fillysburg that the rebels are planning on marching through and taking the hill.

The next day.......*
Rift: *Reads Fluttershy's letter*
Dear Rift,
I'm doing fine big boy, I went to the doctor to day and found out that I'm pregnant, and it's your filly. And yes I'm still beautiful as ever. I hope you make it back safely to see our filly when he or she is born and please don't come back a changed colt. And you too will always be my special somepony.
Stay strong
Sincerely, your angel
Fluttershy.
Rift: Hey Cole!
Cole: Yeah buddy?
Rift: I'm gunna be a dad!
Cole: Hey congrats Rift, is it aboy or a girl?
Rift: We're not sure yet.
Cole: Well don't keep her waiting send her a letter.
Rift: *writing letter*
Dear Fluttershy,
I've gotten your letter, and this is great news. You should be here this rain falls weird. Sometimes it just pours really heavily, sometimes it just spits out small drops, and sometimes it's like it's comming up from the ground. Aside from all this bad weather it's pretty descent. I've also gotten word that the changlings are being bushed back and are losing thier foothold and I will not come back a changed colt. I'll see you again soon.
Lot's of love
Sincerely,
Rift
Next day.......*
Dear Rift,
The rain sounds interesting there, maby I should come on over. Just kidding. I was wondering do you still remember the first date we went on? Or our first kiss? I'm doing this just to make sure you havn't changed.
Sincerely, your angel
Fluttershy.
Rift: *writting to Fluttershy*
Dear Fluttershy,
I will always remember our first date, we were having dinner in the moon light, you had on the most beautiful dress. You still looked shy as ever, I held your hoof and told you 'it's ok, don't be shy'. And I will never forget our very first kiss, we sat on the bridge the moon was high, I held your hoof you held my hoof. And you cuddled close to me and said 'I love you' and kissed me.
I will never change Flutershy
Your love,
Rift Jones.
Chapter 5: Home again
Rift: Hey Fluttershy.
Flutterhy: *gasp*'Rift!!!!
Rift: Hey angel. *kisses Fluttershy*
Fluttershy: Yay.
Rift: So when are you due?
Fluttershy: Next week.
One week Later..........*
Rift: They're so cute Fluttershy, what should we name them?
Fluttershy: How about Kat and Susie? I really like those names.
Rift: It's perfect, our little Kat and Susie.
Kat &Susie: Daddy.
Rift: I'll never forget this moment Fluttershy. *kisses Fluttershy on forehead*
*back at Fluttershy's cottage.*
Rift: *picks up a book and a note falls out* Huh?
'Son, I know that after your grandfather died you had been scred of death and that you didn't understand why he had left. I know that when we die you might feel that same fear of death. So here is a poem that your great grandfather wrote to his family after he knew he wasn't going to make it back home to make them not fear death.
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no pony about their beliefs ; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your fellow ponies. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
I hope this will make you feel better Rift,
Sincerely
Your father.' Heh, seem's kinda pointless now. But I will beautify all things in my life.
