Johnagold had no idea how he'd explain this unfortunate turn of events to any of his friends. A couple of weeks ago, a unicorn filly was dropped off on his doorstep, and a strange, bird-like pegasus explained to him that this filly, Ginger Gold, was his daughter. There were even paternity tests done to prove it. Johnagold's initial reaction was one of shock and drowning his sorrows away with tub after tub of ice cream, but reality was beginning to sink in. He had to grow up and take care of this filly, and ensure that she would have a good future.

Johnagold hadn't really shown Ginger to very many ponies outside of his immediate family and a few strangers, but if he was to give Ginger the proper care and support she needed, he would have to let her get to know a few of his friends. Today was actually the first day he was with her out in public in Ponyville. Ginger Gold was sleeping in an apple basket strapped to her father's harness as he trotted down the street. Johnagold looked very weary, maybe even slightly depressed. He had been busy the past few weeks chasing her around and making sure she didn't get into trouble, and as a result, had become paranoid and slept very little. His mane was even more of a mess than it usually was, and he walked with a slow gait, dragging his hooves along.

Here goes nothin', thought Johnagold as he looked over to the filly in his basket. Ah hope not too many ponies start askin' where you're from....to explain that would...it would be very hard for me...

In a nearby ally shadows swirled about as a certain kirin emerged from them. He had only had his cutie mark for a short while, and wished to practice with it as much as he could. Not that any pony would likely even notice it was there seeing as he was still wearing his cloak. He shook himself, abit and stamped his hooves about. Shadow magic definitely had its uses, but boy did it feel odd.

"I wonder if I'll ever get used to that?", he mused to himself as he trotted out to the streets. "Well, while I'm here I may as well stop by Sugarcube Corner. Oh, and maybe I should try and catch up with a few friends." He looked about and spotted a familiar farmer a ways ahead. "Ah, speak of the stallion". He cartwheeled over to the pony and gave a smile.

"Johna! How do you fare my freind? " he asked cordially. Now that he was close he could instantly tell the answer would likely not be a positive one. His freind quite frankly looked horrid, like he hadn't slept in ages. He could understand, he had worn that same look not long ago. However, as Johna didn't have a mask to hide behind, his distress was there for anypony to see. As he continued to look the pony over he noticed the basket, and the unusual contents it held.

"Oh, sorry. You must be foalsitting. I suppose I'll leave you to it."

Johnagold looked up from staring down at the street to see one of his best friends in all of Equestria trotting next to him. Chronius had been put in a somewhat similar situation with his children...maybe Chron could give some advice to him on what to do. He knew that Chronius's children were accidents just like Ginger Gold, and that Chronius had practically concieved them on his first date with his wife, Twisted Vision. This conversation would probably turn very awkward very quickly, but Johnagold was just too worn-out to care. This conversation would most likely be necessary, as Chronius had more experience being a parent than Johnagold did.

"Hey, bro," Johnagold said exhaustedly through a just as exhausted-looking smile. "You finally got your cutie mark...congratulations!" Johnagold tried to sound as enthusiastic as he possibly could, as if nothing was bothering him.

"Ah'm doin' okay, Chron, you could say Ah'm foalsittin'...The filly in mah basket....is mah daughter..." It took all of Johnagold's courage not to burst out in tears in front of Chronius. He was scared that his friends would think less of him when they found out that he had what appeared to be an illegitimate child. After all, it was a recurring joke amongst them that he'd never end up getting laid.

Chronius blinked a few times."How did you know about... Never mind." He would wonder about how Johna had learned of his mark later. There were more important matters to attend to. Namely that Johna had a daughter! Since when? How? Had he and Jewels finally done the two pony tango? He thought about asking, but decided that it wasn't the time or place. Especially not with the look Johna was giving him. This was obviously difficult for the stallion, so there was no need to pry.

"I don't buy it." he eventually said. "This wonderful little bundle of beauty and joy came from you? Impossible!" he said in an exaggerated tone. "Why it's just mind boggling! The two of us, fathers? Who could have guessed it? We can set up play dates and hold barbecues and start wearing robes and smoking from pipes! Oh what fun!" He paused for a couple seconds and decided to speak seriously for at least a bit.

"I know this must be quite the change for you, and not to sound rude, but it seems to be taking a toll on you. I'd hardly count myself an expert on the subject, but if you ever need anypony to speak to...I'm sure Twisted will be glad to make an appointment with you," Okay, maybe he wasn't going to be completely serious about things, "and perhaps I'll be able to find a moment or two."

Johnagold sighed and pulled a set of papers out of his vest.

"She's legit, Chro, blood test even says so," said Johnagold as he handed Chronius the set of papers detailing the results of Ginger's paternity test. Johnagold smiled a little bit. "Her name's Ginger Gold, just like the apple cultivar. Most of us apples tend to be earth ponies, but mah pa's a unicorn, so Ah guess she takes after him."

Johnagold cleared his throat, then replied, "Ah appreciate your offer, Ah'll definitely take it up." He heard Ginger stirring around in the basket.

"Who's that weird guy you're talking to, daddy? " She squeaked. "Wait...Oh my gosh! HE'S LIKE A PONY AND A DRAGON MIXED TOGETHER! THAT'S SO COOL! But why is he so shouty?"

"That's your Uncle Chronius, hun," replied Johnagold. "He's always been...innerestin'..."

Moon was standing outside the bar to get a little air when she saw a particularly rugged looking Johna, evidently carry back groceries from town and clearly in need of a libation, talking to the Kirin from the wedding. Chronius or some such. She waved a welcoming hoof at the pair, though only Johna was looking in her direction, and beckoned them over.

Plus, the Sunrise was doing enough business that she could afford to stand him a drink or two. Or maybe just give him friend's rates, which if he was anything like his pa would safe him the cost of more than two drinks in short order.

"Shouty? SHOUTY!? How dare you!?" He said giving a dramatic flourish and standing on his hind legs. "Before you even leaned to SPELL YOUR NAME I was being trained to nurture FANTASIES!" he shouted in an incredible burst of ham. He returned to his normal stance and trotted over to the child an d lowered his mask. He didn't know if she was the type that scared easily, but it was best to be safe.

"Truthfully we kirin aren't all that cool or interesting, but I'm flattered that you and your father seem to think so." He said smirking. Although not nearly as honored as to make your acquaintance Ginger Gold." He though about how odd it was he was talking so formally to a child. The again, he supposed the way he spoke was odd no matter who he was dealing with. He trotted back before Johna and followed his eye line over to Moon.

"Ah, one of Twisted's friends if I recall correctly. I assume one of yours as well. Shall we go say hello?

Ginger really wasn't scared of Uncle Chro at all. She thought he was pretty weird and funny, and she giggled at his dramatic posing and...whatever the heck you call what Chroniuses do best.

"What's an acquaintance?" she asked her father.

"It's another word for 'friend'," replied Johnagold "It's sorta like a new friend that you don't know all that well yet."

"Ooh! I love making new friends! Everypony in my preschool class is my friend! I wanna be Uncle Chro's friend, too!"

"Of course you can, Gins, and even better, Uncle Chro has a couple of kids who you might just get to meet sometime!"

"Yay!"

Johnagold was interrupted by Chronius asking him to go over and talk to a pony he was looking at. It was Moon Chaser, who was standing outside of the Mimosa Sunrise.

"Of course," replied Johnagold to Chronius's question about going to talk to Moon. "It would be rude not to." Johnagold trotted towards Moon as Ginger had disappeared from view back into her bucket.

"Hey you two," she greeted them warmly "care to whet your whistle? We've whiskeys and wines and ales of the best~" her voice held a sing-song edge to it "and there's softer stuff too, kitchen's still serving too."

Even if they didn't fancy anything, it was always good to catch up with good friends. And since she was terrible at mixing drinks she helmed the bar in a more hoofs on managerial way. Truth to be told, Moon had at first wondered if the bar needed her at all, but her skills at acquisition and creative accounting had proved useful. However it wasn't a skill-set needed for the day-to-day running of the business.

"What you picked up there then?" She asked Johna, motioning to the basket.

As he trotted over to Moon Chaser he gave a short bow, as was his custom. "Good to see you again. I had no idea you were the one in charge of this establishment. I dont frequent taverns that often, but If your at the helm I suppose that I simply must give it a try." The kirin could definitely go for a good meal, or perhaps a delicious drink.Chronius laughed when he heard her question.

"Oh its quite a special little crop. Seed planted in a passionate romp. Took just shy of a year to sprout, then filled our dear freind with doubt." He hated spoiling things, but just couldn't help himself. Johna had a baby, it was a bit difficult for him to keep such a thing to himself, at least while he was still so excited. Chronius laughed and skipped around Johna.

"Howdy, Moon," said Johnagold, walking next to Chronius and trying to be as happy-sounding as he could possibly be. The problem, though, was that his 'happy' tone of voice still sounded like what would happen if Big Macintosh was emo and had even less enthusiasm than he already did. Then, Moon asked what Johnagold had in his basket...and Chronius spoiled it, of course. Luckily, Ginger was still hiding deep inside the basket and hopefully, Moon hadn't seen her yet. Chronius bounced around Johnagold and did what the kirin did best: be hilariously cheesy. Johnagold, still very self-conscious about the whole issue regarding his child, tried to cover it up as Chronius spoke.

"It ain't what you think," He muttered. "Really, Chro's just...uh...Ah can explain...Ah got...y'know...apples..." Johnagold was a terrible liar, almost as bad as his cousin Applejack. He was making the liarjack face, for one thing, but it wasn't as funny as the time Applejack had done it. Johnagold looked worn-out, and there were tears beginning to show in the corners of his eyes.

Then Ginger peeked out of the bucket, the top half of her body out in the open for everypony to see.

At first Moon thought Chrono meant Johna was looking after a foal for somepony else, but then Johna's expression made it more than clear who's foal it was. So at least she wasn't surprised when when the little filly poked her head out, though she was somewhat surprised at the age.

"Hey there lil' apple," she smiled warmly at the little filly, "I'm Moon Chaser, why don't you come in and have a drink. We have ice cream floats, and lemonade, and ginger ale and anything else you could want." she looked up at Johna "on the house."

She began to retreat back into the building, glancing behind her as she walked "I'm more a custodian that anything else; the person in charge is just..." she paused momentarily "Banished, is probably the most accurate term. Anyway what can I get you three?"

Chronius continued skipping about, making odd little laughs, and humming merrily. However he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed Johna's face. "I really must learn to keep my mouth shut." he muttered under his breath. His freind was looking even worse than he had previously thought, and the idea he had help contribute to that distress sickened him a bit. He wondered if he should try toning things down and speaking a bit more seriously. Or perhaps what would be best would be to stay cheerful.

"You know, a bit of ice cream seems delightfull. Can't think of a better way to catch up on recent developments."

Johnagold's face brightened up a little at the mention of ice cream. He wasn't upset with Chronius as the kirin may have thought, he was just feeling very, very worn-out. Johnagold just needed to take things easy right now.

Ginger Gold totally spazzed out at the mention of ice cream.

"OHILOVEICECREAMDOYOUGOTCHOCOLATE?" She put her hoof to her mouth, then stated more calmly, "Oh, uh...forgot to say my name...I'm Ginger Gold...I'll have some chocolate ice cream, please."

Johnagold couldn't help but smile a little at Ginger. She really was cute, just very busy. "Looks like ice cream it is. Ah'll take a tub of Hagen-Dash, please."

"Certainly young filly" Moon said politely before shouting into the kitchen "Can we have a Vanilla coke float, a banana split, a chocolate Sunday and..." she paused "Really Johnna, an entire tub?" she sighed before shouting back into the kitchen "And whatever Hagen Dash we've got that's going cheap."

She settled in a seat by the fire and motioned the others to join her. "So Chrono, I'd say that crop was planted longer ago than last spring..." she smiled mischievously "So Johna you said you can explain? And what about you lil' Apple? Why don't you tell auntie Moon all about yourself?"
