Chapter 1: New kid
Rift: Riff what're you doing?
Riff: Boxing.
Rift: Here let me show you how. You keep both hands up, and when you jab you keep one arm up to defend your face.
Shining Armor: Yup. Riff spar with Jones for a bit I need a break. *vaults himself over the boxing ring's ropes*
Riff: Ok.
Rift: Arms up. Southpaw, left upper cut.
Riff: Woah!!
Rift: Hey, I'm saying what I'm doing and you need to find away to counter it. Again. Southpaw, left upper cut.
Riff: *dodges the southpaw and blocks the left uppercut*
Star: Hi daddy.
Rift: *looks over shoulder* Hi sweetie. What're you doing here? *pickes up Star*
Luna: Hi Rift.
Rift: Hello Luna. *kisses Luna* What are you doing here?
Doctor: Rift, I have the papers you wanted on your facial scars.
Rift: You do?
Doctor: If you try to stay calm they will heal. Any aggressive thoughts or actions will make them worse.
Rift: Ok.
Luna: Me and Star have news.
Rift: *putting on shirt* What is it?
Luna: Star?
Star: I'm gonna be a big sister.
Rift: What?
Star: Mommy's pregnant.
Rift: Really?
Luna: Twins from what the doctors tell me. Why did you need..?
Rift: Oh, some of my scars from my last deployment weren't healing so I wanted to know why.
Luna: You're handsome with those scars.
Rift: Yeah, but I'm not comfortable with them.
Chapter 2: Massive scarring
Rift: *interrogating Changling* I'm not gonna play games with you. Where is your Queen?
Changling: *changes into Queen Chyrsalis* In here with us.
Rift: *punches changling* You think this is funny? I have ways of making scum like you talk!
Changling: Why would I talk to Canterlot scum like you?
Rift: Bring me the drill.
Guard: Aye sir.
Changling: Gonna go fix some houses?
Rift: *punches Changling* No, get his hands on the table.
Guard: Yes sir.
Rift: *takes the drill* Thanks. Now one last time...*turns on drill* Where is Queen Chyrisalis?
Changling: Doing your father.
Rift: I tried nice. Which is your shooting hand?
Changling: Left.
Rift: *makes the drill tip spin and stabs it through the changling's left hand* Now will you talk?
Changling: Holy...... Ahhhhh!!!
Rift: Now you know what it feels like to lose your shooting hand temporarily. 
Changling: Gahhh!!! I don't know where she is!!!
Rift: *puts drill tip closer to the changlings right hand* Are you lying?
Changling: I was a new soldier in her Changling Special Forces she didn't say any thing to me.
Rift: *turns off drill* Take him back to his cell. I'm done with him.
Guard: Holy Celestia, why'd he do this?
Guard: He's an Equestrian Specter he can do this.
Rift: Soldier, could you please bring me a mirror.
Guard: Aye sir.
Luna: I saw what you did.
Star: Daddy? *hides behind Luna's legs*
Rift: Star sweetie, I needed to do that so I could get information that I needed. I would never do that to you. Come here and give me a hug.
Star: *hugs Rift* I love you daddy.
Rift: I love you too sweetie. *hugs Star*
Guard: Here sir.
Rift: Thank you. *looks at himself in the mirror* Oh, the one on my lip got longer.
Chapter 3: Gettin' ink done
10 weeks later*
Mikey: You sure those are the ones your going with?
Rift: Yeah.
Luna: Rift? What are you doing?
Rift: *looks up at Luna* I'm getting three tattoos.
Luna: Of?
Rift: Is the first one done Mikey?
Mikey: Aye.
Rift: *stands up and shows what's on his back* Look at what it says.
Luna: It says: 'My heart and love goes to Princess Luna'. Aww, Rift.
Rift: Then I'm getting one of blue flames going up my right arm, then it's my C7 logo on my chest. So how go......
Luna: What?
Rift: Uh, your chest seems a little....
Luna: You're noticing my breasts?Hey!! Eyes up here.
Rift: Sorry, I wasn't around the first time you where pregnant so I'm unaware that your breasts would be....bigger than they where originally.
Luna: *rolls her eyes* 
Rift: I'll be home in a little while, I need to stay here.
Luna: Alright, I have a suprise wating for you when you do.
Rift: Ok.
Later...*
Rift: * picks up note and reads it* 'Follow the path of love and you'll find treasure.' Huh? *walks into the kitchen and looks at Luna* Oh my......
Luna: Happy Aniversary Rift.
Rift: You didn't need to do this to the kitchen. The candles, the romantic lighting.
Luna: It wasn't my idea.
Star: It was mine daddy.
Rift: Oh Star, sweetie, you didn't need to do this.
Star: I read that paper the doctor gave you about your scars and I want to help you.
Rift: Ahh, thank you sweetie.
Luna: Star could you please go in your room, while me and your father celebrate our anniversary?
Star: Sure mommy. *goes into her room*
Rift: You're in high-heels?
Luna: I wanted to be more attractive.
Rift: You already are.
Later...*
Rift: So we thought my friend Jenkins broke his back, then he jumps up and shouts 'THAT WAS AWESOME!!!'
Luna: After jumping out of the plane?
Rift: Yeah, he was a crazy one.
Luna: *takes a sip of wine* 'Was'?
Rift: He was killed when we where at war with the changlings. Shot in the thigh.
Luna: You couldn't stop it from bleeding?
Rift: They hit a vital artery, we couldn't stop it even if we tried.
Luna: You've lost a lot of friends haven't you?
Rift: Lot's of them, and good ones too. They gave thier lives for me, wish I could return the favor.
Luna: The important thing is you're here. *puts her hand on top of Rift's hand*
Rift: Yeah, I guess.
Luna: That tattoo on your arm came out really good.
Rift: Thanks.
Luna: I can't wait to see how the C7 on your chest came out.
Rift: *chokes on water* Hm?
Luna: Let me just say this dress is easier to get off than it is to get on.
Rift: Then what are we waiting for?
Luna: Happy anniversary.
Later...*
Luna: *panting* That.....that C7 came out.........perfectly.
Rift: *panting* Y....you think so?
Luna: *panting* Yup. *kisses Rift*
Chapter 4: The game
*in the rec room*
Riff: *playing pool* Anyone notice Rift is acting weird?
Rift: *walks in* I'm acting weird because I'm trying to heal my scars.
Shining Armor: I thought you'd be happy with those. Luna likes them.
Rift: Again, I'm not comfortable with scars on my face unless it's my eye scar.
Riff: Wanna join in?
Brad: I'll join.
Rift: Nah. I'm in here for the game.
Riff: Who's playing?
Rift: Canterlot and Phillysberg.
Riff: Don't you only watch the games that Ponyville plays in?
Rift: *opens bottle of root beer and tosses the cap in the trash* Normally, but since I'm bord outta my mind right now I don't care who's playing ball.
Later...*
Rift: Come on, come on! Yes! Home run!!!
Riff: You Canterlotians are so weird.
Shining Armor: You're only used to the crystal empire they don't have any sports.
Riff: Actually we have a sport we play there. It's called lacrosse. But the way we play it, you'll get either a concussion or brain damage. Or worse death.
Brad: That violent?
Riff: Yup, I was luky and only got a concussion.
Rift: And that ladies and gentlemen is why I don't play lacrosse.
Riff: I stopped playing when I got the concussion.
Chapter 5: The new born babies

Luna: Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Medic: I don't think I'm trained for this sir.
Rift: They're all backed up at the hospital.
Medic: Uh, do we have anyone here who knows anything on delivering a baby?
Luna: Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Medic: I know how to deliver them!
Rift: Hurry.

Rift: Yup. *kisses Luna*

Rift: The first was your birth, the second is this one, and the third is our wedding.
Star: Oh.
Luna: What should we name them?

Rift: Jade.
Luna: I love both those names.
