"Ok, one more time, say Ca..."
"Kaahh.."
Celestia once again had to bite her lip to keep from giggling. Spike had recently turned two when Cadance was able to put a big enough dent in her studies to come visit. The bit of surprise at finding she had a new cousin was expected; the loud squee and pounce...not so much. In all honesty, she was a little impressed with how quickly her niece had taken to the little guy. She made it a point to spend some time with him when she was able to get away from schoolwork.
"Dance...you can do it."
"Dahhn-shee!"
Cadance's expression deadpanned briefly. "Ok. Let's try something else. Say 'dance'."
"Dahh-ansh." Spike responded, lisping a little from a couple of teeth growing in.
"One more time, 'daaance'..? "
"Dahh-ansh!" The baby kirin giggled.
"Now, Ca-dance."
"Dahhn-shee!"
Now if only she could get him to say her full name.
Cadance looked at Celestia, "If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was doing that on purpose."
Celestia bit her lip again while Spike just laughed some more.
This is unexpected
Short but sweet.

I threw a lot of suggestions for 'mini-chapters' - or full chapters - to flesh out the early parts of the story at him in a PM.
Cute chapter. I hope this means more chapters are viable to possibly appear, either way it's nice to see an update. Now i feel the need to reread most of this.
Ok.....
Show of hooves on those who'd love to see Baby Spike "Accidentally" hit Blue Blood with a few Fireballs.
So the nickname Dancy didn't originate here?
Ah you sadistic bastard, I thought you updated the story instead of mini chapters. Ah well at least these mean you're not dead
Allllllrighty then.

Getting flurry heart to say Dahhn-shee
Trollestia is rubbing off on Spike.
And I have flashbacks of Lisa calling her Dad "Homer."
I get flashbacks to this scene from Hotel Transylvania 2
