MLP NEXT GEN ONE-SHOTS

Prism x Starburst

THEY ARE HUMAN BTW WITH KIDS

Prism paced around the room hands clasped in front of him. She's never this late. Never. What if she... no can't think this. And she wouldn't go into battle that dangerous. She always said she wouldn't leave us as soon as thunders tar was born.
Running out of energy he collapsed on the couch and rested his head on the pillow. Not without a twitching limb.
The door on his right creaked open, and out stepped his oldest son, Thunderstar. He was clutching his teddy in one hand and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes in the other.
"Daddy what's wrong."

Prism didn't want to worry his son about his mother but the problem is that Thunder was as pragmatic as his mother. And being so, nothing got past him. Especially if his amazingly strong dad is looking increasingly worried and no ones dead. Not that they know yet anyway.

Thunderstar stepped out of his bedroom and went into his fathers shaking arms.

"Daddy?" Thunderstar questioned again.
Prism sighed. There was no point in lying to him.
"Well your mother isn't home yet kiddo." Prism was bouncing his knee and drinking coffee.

"Daddy what time is it?" Thunder said looking concerned at the big bags underneath his fathers eyes.

Prism glanced at his watch.
"I dunno like 1am." His eyes fixated to the door again.
"Since...". Thunderstar looked up at his dad. He wasn't stupid and he knew his mother had been gone- and not for a girls weekend out, for the army. He also knew that his dad hadn't slept in 3 days. At all. Does it every time she leaves for it. Worrying about his mother and taking care for him and his brother was a bit much for him to juggle.

Prism buried his face in his hands. A sniffle, than a sob. Thunder sat there awkwardly. He wasn't used to his amazing strong willed father breaking down.
"Your mom was supposed to be back here yesterday." He chocked out. Thunderstars' eyes watered. What if mommy was dead?

He began whimpering and his dad pulled him into a hug and they both started crying quietly not trying to wake up Prisms other son, Whirlwise. Starburst wasn't home a whole lot and her boys missed her a bunch.

"Sleep daddy." Thunder mumbled. "I'll watch the door and wake you when she comes home."
Prism sat up to protest but saw the sad look in his son's eye. He harrumphed and lay his head on the pillow and fell asleep. Thunderstar got the couch blanket and lay it on his father. He perched himself on the couch and flicked the tv on. He was his fathers son after all. Glancing at the door every few seconds, Thunderstar rested on the couch and made himself comfortable.
It's going to be a long night.

—————————————————————————— —————5 am———————————————————————————

Starburst walked into the house and quietly shut the door. It had been a horrible three days without her boys. She shed a small tear.
Finally she had come home after gridding out co-ordinates to find the griffin army.

She silently creeped through the hall way and jumped when she reached the living room. Lying on the couch was Prism and Thunderstar. Prism was slouched on the couch, tucked in with a blanket. Her son's head rested on the couches armrest clutching his teddy bear with his arm hung over the side, holding the remote snoring away. Like father like son. Starburst smiled and was threatened by more tears. Meanwhile the T.V. was showing Thunderstars favorite show- My Little Pony. She couldn't see Whirlwise out of his room so he must be asleep.

She slowly lifted Thunderstar off the couch and brought him to his bed. After she tucked him in tight and gave a light squeeze and a kiss on his forehead.
She then quietly closed the door and took off her military coat resting it on the kitchen table. Taking a long sip of water she then got on the couch with her husband and pressed her face against his chest. It smelt like rain and home.

So glad to be home
Then she fell asleep.

Hope u all liked that I know the kids names were crap but I had no inspiration.
