"I know a boy and a girl," Rarity replies.

"Sounds like you're going to have fun and work," Rainbow replies.

Pinkie looks at Rainbow and asks, "Why work?"

"Well, having twins can be a handful sometimes," Fluttershy explains.

"Oh that. Don't worry, I have a little sister remember, and I take care of kids all the time," Pinkie replies sounding confident.

Then Sun says, "Yeah, but remember you need to be focus especially when dealing with two babies."

"I know," Pinkie replies looking positive about taking care of the twins.

Just they hear a woman's voice saying, "Hello everyone."

Everyone turn to see Cupcake and Carrot Cake at the front door with their new babies. Applejack says, "Howdy Mr and Ms. Cake,"

"Hello dearies," Ms. Cake says with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake can see that Pinkie has decorated their cafe for this occasion. Pinkie even have a playpen set up for the babies to be in while they work.

Mr Cake face Pinkie Pie with a smile and asks, "I'm guessing you're throwing a party for the babies?"

"You know it," Pinkie answered happily.

"They're right here," Mrs Cake answers while show them in her arms.

The girls can see the babies are fast asleep and they book look very different One of the twins is a baby small girl. with light yellow skin, orange curly hair with a blue ribbon in her hair. The other baby is a boy with light cream like skin and light brown hair. The two babies are fast asleep and smiling as well. Mr. Cake is holding the stuff for taking care of the babies and extras.

"They're so adorable," Rarity says happily.

"You both must be so happy," Sun replies.

"And they're both happily sleeping," Fluttershy adds with a smile.

"They are so cute," Pinkie says happily.

AS the girls are seeing the babies, they little mane attraction start to get a little fussy and upset about something. The girls and the parents notice it and think they want something, but might need to find that out.

"Is there something wrong?" Applejack asks.

"I'm guessing they must be hungry," Mr Cake says.

"And might need a nap too," Mrs. Cake adds while rocking the babies in her arms.

But Pinkie says, "But they already been sleeping,"

"All babies need a lot of sleep," Fluttershy explains.

"But all they do is eat and sleep," Rainbow Dash adds.

Mrs. Cakes takes the babies to the back room so she can feed them and have some time to calm them down. While Mrs. Cake is in there with the babies, the girls think it will be a good idea to give them the twins' present so they'll be happily and might help right now.

Rarity says, "Either way, we got present for them."

Mr. Cake turns to the girls and says, "Why thank you."

"It's no problem," applejack says.

Rarity comes over with a blue blanket and a pink blanket.

Rarity happily says, "I made these blankets for the twins, a blue one for Pound Cake and a pink on for Pumpkin Cake."

Mr, Cake smiles seeing the blanket and takes them from Rarity. He can see that the blankets are soft and well made. Perfect for the babies to sleep with. He then set it on the table so he can see the other gifts. Fluttershy holds two stuffed aimplas one of them is a butterfly and the other one is a rhino.

Fluttershy quietly says, "These are from me."

"Aw! Two stuffed animals," Mr Cake says taking the toys and put them on the table next to the blankets.

Fluttershy blushes and says." I thought it will be perfect for them. The stuffed butterfly is for Pumpkin Cake and the stuffed Rhino is for Pound Cake."

Rainbow Dash hands Mr Cake two small tow balls that are fun and safe for the babies.

"These balls are for the twins. They not only fun and safe, but you can squeeze m=them and make funny noises." Rainbow Dash says.

Rainbow Dash put the balls where the other preset are and see that the twins might have some fun with the presents.

Mr Cake says, "Thank you Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash smiles and go back with the others. Sun comes over with some book in her arms. From the looks of it, Sun seems to have around ten of them.

Sun says, "I got the twins some children books and fun stories. I hope they enjoy them."

"I'm sure they will," Mr. Cake says as he takes the books and put them on the table.

Then Applejack comes over with her present. The present she has are two apples that are red and green. The apples are actually giant pillows for the twins to play and sleep on.

Applejack says, "I got these apple pillows for them and hope they'll have fun sleeping with them."

Mr. Cake says, "I'm sure they'll feel comfortable sleeping on them."

Then Applejack puts the pillows on the blankets so they will be with the other presents. Mr. Cake is happy that Pinkie's friends are nice enough to give his new babies present and sure they will love them.

After the present giving, Mrs. Cakes comes out with the babies fast asleep in her arms. She then put the babies in the playpen so they can get some sleep.

Mrs. Cake turn to the others and says, "So what you all been doing?"

Mr Cake smiles and says, "The girls have given us wonderful present for the babies."

Mrs. Cake looked to see the present on top of the table. She can see that the girls have given them present for the babies.

She smiles and says, "Thank you dearies for the presents. I'll make sure to give them to the babies once they wake up to show them."

Sun and the others smiles to see that the couple loves their presents. They are also sure that the babies will love it too.

Sun turns to Pinkie and asks, "By the way Pinkie, where's your present?"

"Got it right here," Pinkie answers holding a box.

Pinkie present the presents to the Cakes and says, "I got you and the babies special walkie talkies so you can hear each other when during the day and the night."

Mr. and Mrs. Cake can see that the walkie talkie are shaped like ducks. One of them is liable baby while the other one is liable parent. They figure it a good way to tell which one goes to which room.

Mrs. Cake smiles and says, "Thank you Pinkie."

"These should come in handy," Mr. Cake replies.

"No problem," Pinkie smiles.

Then Pinkie says, "So let's party a little until the store closes."

The others in the room agrees to the idea. Throughout the day, the girls have been talking about their time with family and their past time. Sun also mentions to the girls about meeting three other girls at a cafe while she decides to have a walk. At first the girls are kind of concern that Sun ends up talking to other that she doesn't know, but glad they are not bad people.

They all continue to have their party until it's around five in the evening and they all know it's time for them to go home.

Rainbow Dash says, "Well, looks like it's time for us to head home."

Applejack turns to Sun and asks, "Want to tag along with me and Big Mac?"

"Are you sure?" Sun asks.

"Yeah. We're neighbors and it's not a good idea to walk around at night," Applejack answers.

Sun smiles and says, "Sure."

Everyone start to head outside, some of their parents are here to pick them up. Pinkie is going to go with Mr. and Mrs. Cake to help them with bring their present and with the twins. As they are going to leave the twins wake up and starts to cry.

Pinkie comes to the twins and panicky says, "Don't cry cutie pies. Don't cry."

Pinkie starts to struggle about this situation because she doesn't like seeing anyone including babies being sad and crying.

Mrs. Cake says, "We'll get them."

Mr. and Mrs. Cake goes to the playpen and pick the babies so they can rock them to calm them down and smile. They try rocking them to sleep, but it doesn't seem to work. They are wondering why they are sounding sad.

Pinkie sadly says, "Poor babies sounding so sad. What do we do?"

The others are trying to think of a way to calm them down, but some of them might not work or be too loud for them.

Then Fluttershy suggests, "Maybe we can sing them a song?"

Then Sun says, "And I think I know a song that might help."

Sun remember the song from one of her dreams and decides to ding it to the babies. When she reach to the babies who are still crying she clear her throat and starts to sing to the babies.

Sun sings:

Twirling whirling round we go

Twirling high and twirling low

Twirling round we go

Twirling whirling round we go

Twirling fast and twirling low

See the colors skip and flow

Twirling round we go

As Sun sings the song from her dreams, the babies start to calm down and stop crying. The babies eventually start to feel tired and fall asleep in their parents arms. Pinkie, Mr. and Mrs. Cake are amazed that Sun's song has managed to calm the babies down and fall asleep. Applejack and the others are surprised by the song, the haven't heard the song in a while and it's nice to hear it now.

Mrs. Cake says, "Thank you for helping us."

"The song you did and nice and you have an amazing singing voice," Mr. Cake adds.

Sun blushes and says, "Thank you."

"He right, you not only remember great songs, but you have an incredible singing voice," Pinkie says with a smile.

She then whispers to Sun, "If you ever remember other songs from your past let us know."

"Well actually, while I was in Las Pegasus, I remember this song from one of my past," Sun explains.

The girls hear what Sun say about her remember another song. They kind of want to hear it for themselves.

Fluttershy says, "You remember another song."

Sun nods her head and says, "Yes."

"Can you sing it to us?" Pinkie asks happily.

"Yeah. you should totally sing it to us," Rainbow Dash says with encouragement.

Sun can see that her friends want her to sing the song she remembers back on her trip to Las Pegasus. Even Mr. and Mrs. Cake are serious about the song she remember and want to hear it too. Sun decides to sing the song to them and hope they'll like it.

Sun starts to sing:

On with the wind

Cross the sea

Here this song and remember

Soon you'll be home with me

Once upon a December

After Sun finishes singing, everyone start to clap, but softly so they won't wake up the babies. Sun blushes a little knowing they like the song she sings.

Fluttershy says, "That sure is a lovely song."

"And you have a lovely voice when you sing," Rarity says.

"Yeah. You sing as good as Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash says.

But Sun replies, "I don't know. I'm sure Fluttershy is better than I am."

Fluttershy comes up to Sun and says, "But still you have a great singing voice, maybe you and I can do a duet sometime."

"That sounds like a good idea," Sun replies.

The girls are getting into a happy mood when they hear Sun sings a song from her past and wondering if she will gain anymore from her past life. The girls notice the time and see that it's past six. The realize that it's getting late and it's time for them to get back home.

Rainbow Dash says," Well, let's hit the road. I don't want my dad getting upset for being home late."

"I agree, Big Mac is here anyway so sun and I are gonna head home," Applejack replies.

"See you guys at school," Sun replies.

"Bye," The girl says while waving good bye.

After the party for the new twins, all the girls have gone back home. Sine Applejack and Sun are neighbors, they manage to get home pretty quickly and Sun has been given a ride home. Sun has a good time for seeing the new babies and can't wait to see what goes on tomorrow. Sun is still kind of skeptic about remember songs from her memory and think that how come she is able to sing very well and might remember having some family memories who love to sing. She just need to wait and see more from her past.
