No pony said that pregnancy was easy, still the whole ordeal catches them both by surprise.

"So... you weren't going to tell me?" The pink pegasus had tears in her eyes, feeling like a tiny filly again as she looked up at her mother.

"Dearest..." There was sorrow in Queen Haven's eyes, and Pipp didn't even need to hear what she'd say next. She already knew she was right. But her mother spoke anyway. "Before today, it wouldn't have mattered."

Sunny Starscout managed to bring all three pony races together bringing harmony and friendship once more. But the Law is the Law and Hitch insists that Sunny must spend at least one night in Jail for all the by-Laws she broke. Cuddling ensues.

This story is dedicated to AnonPencil because they really hate mayonnaise.

Now with an Audiobook by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan

This story is a sequel to Your Faithful Disciple

Izzy Moonbow has always been a dreamer. Her imagination is boundless, and her energy bottomless. Most of her family and friends have learned to take what she says with a grain of salt. So when Izzy starts talking about her dream of the mare with the mane made of stardust, most everypony goes on with their lives. Magical manes? Alicorn princesses? Myths; relics of bygone history.

Sunny believed the tales. Really believed, in a way that most ponies didn't anymore. About the Elements of Harmony, and about Twilight Sparkle. Back when Equestria had princesses, and was whole, when every creature knew the real power of Friendship. She believed⁠—and she knew that, one day, if she believed hard enough, it could be again.

Elsewhere, distant, Twilight Sparkle watches her would-be student, and frets.
