Birth of a Train Wreck/Transcript

(Tuesday; 05th October 1993; 06:57 AM)

The date was the 05th October 1993 in the busy city of Stutengart, Germaney. A young, purple pegasus mare with a matching, long-haired navy blue mane, Selene Nyx, and her husband, a changeling called Coxa, were on their way to the hospital, as Selene's pregnancy was coming to an end. They had to take a train there, because Selene couldn't fly with her pregnant belly. She was suffering from intense prodromal labor pains. Coxa ran a hoof through her mane gently to calm her down.

"There, there... We're almost there, just hold on a few minutes longer." he whispered calmly.

"To be totally honest.... Ahh!!!", she was cut off by a powerful kick from the foal.

".....I'm starting to think we won't make it. It's getting worse by the second!"

To the horror of the young couple and the passengers and crew on board, Selene's water broke right then and there.

"No..... No, no, no, why now?!" Coxa screamed out, starting to panic. This was his first child and he had no experience whatsoever on how to act in such a stressful situation like this.

"Cox! Cox, I need a doctor! Quick!", Selene exclaimed.

"Where in Tartarus am I supposed to get a doctor from?!"

Some passengers started to get up to aid her, while others chatted amongst themselves. It was an absolute mess.

Suddenly, a light-brown earth pony wearing a green bow tie pushed himself through the crowd.

"E'rypony, stay back! Out o' th' wey!", the stallion shouted in a Trottish accent, as he turned to Selene and Coxa.

"Hiya, Tis yer lucky day, a'm th' Doctor."

"Huh..... Oh lord.... Thank Arachne.... You are our savior!", Coxa's hope restored.

"Well, this isnae mah specialty, but a've dine it afore. Allons-y!"

While all of this was going on, Selene was panting and moaning, screaming every once in a while. The pain stang like somepony shot her in the chest.

"A'ight, Miss....."

"Nyx..... Selene Nyx..."

"Miss Nyx, yi''ll need tae breathe. Ah know, no shit, but please juist bare wi' me 'ere. In..... And out. Slowly 'n' calmly...."

By that point, the driver had applied the train's emergency brakes and stopped the train.

Selene, who had been put into the best position possible, was pushing hardly, her piercing screams shattering the eardrums of the passengers nearby.

"Awright, awright, ye'r daein' good. Juist keep pushing, this may tak' a while."

"It's tearing me apart! Holy Buck!!"

It did indeed take a while, the pushing wearing her out more than anything in her entire 23 years of existence. The sweat was dripping down her face in buckets and she felt like throwing up from seeing the massive amounts of blood. Coxa stayed by her side through the whole thing, trying his very best to calm her down.

Finally at 08:05 AM, the colt was finally freed, head-first. A sky blue Pegasus colt, with a short orange mane and tail. The Doctor wrapped the crying colt in a scarf he had on him and smiled with relief.

"Well done, mah wee pony. Ye managed tae gie birth tae a healthy colt oan a movin` train. Now, that's something tae brag about."

He placed the foal into his mother's arm carefully. His parent's faces were full of wonder and tears.

"Such a sweet baby boy...."

She kissed his little head, before fainting and blacking out.

The next thing she saw, was the hospital ceiling. She looked around the clean, white room and saw her newborn son in a crib nearby.

"Oh, thank Thorax, you're awake." Coxa rushed to her side and kissed her forehead.

"Cox..... Cox, where's that Doctor?", she asked, looking around.

"I have no idea. He brought you here with me and just kinda disappeared."

"Oh, damn it. I didn't even get the chance to say thank you."

"I think it's thanks enough that he got our little train wrecker onto Celestia's green earth." Coxa returned the colt into her arms, still wrappedin the Doctor's scarf. He was smiling sweetly, laughing. That made Selene giggle herself.

"Train Wrecker, you say?", she asked, stroking his soft, orange mane.

"Oh, the little fella made the brakes of that train wear out completely.", Coxa told semi-proudly.

"Ah, they're never as worn out as my filly bits. I thought I was gonna die."

She went silent for a moment, before smiling down at her colt and nodding.

"Train Wrecker..... That's gonna be your name."
