It's an extremely hot summer day. What better way to spend it than at a water park with your retired alicorn wife, Celestia? You've already gotten all of the thrills from the park's attractions that Celestia could ever want, and now it's time to relax for a while on the lazy river. But when the two of you find yourselves in a strange, almost liminal space, Celestia has more than a few concerns.

You, however, couldn't really care less.

You ended up in Equestria about two years ago, and in that time, you've become quite close with a number of ponies. Of them, Rarity in particular has left a major impression on you. She seems to enjoy having you around, and you appreciate the company.

That said, there is one major roadblock getting in the way of your relationship. More than anypony you know, Rarity is extremely concerned with keeping up appearances. As a fashion designer and all-around fabulous mare, she frequently wants your opinion on how she looks.

Unfortunately for you, you're a human with no way of telling what makes a pony "beautiful."

Since retiring and starting a family with Anon, everyday life for Celestia has been mostly peaceful. At least, it has been when compared to what a typical day was like as a princess. However, that doesn't mean her new family isn't really good at keeping her on her hooves anyway.

Just what are they doing now?!

When your beloved wife, the ex-princess Luna, discovered that she is pregnant, it came as a bit of a shock. You weren't even aware that such a thing is possible considering the whole "you're a human" thing. And yet, there she is. Her body is slowly changing to account for the growth happening within, and her anxiety is through the roof.

But you're not about to leave her to face that anxiety alone.

Once again, Anon, Twilight and Rarity are all single on Hearts and Hooves Day.

They've learned to make the best of it.

A Hearts and Hands Week bonus story!

Being thrust into a familiar-yet-distinctly-different Equestria after expecting to spend the rest of eternity in Limbo was definitely a shock to Somnambula. Still, she adjusted fairly well, she thinks. She's got a town that reveres her, and she's a motivational speaker that has helped countless ponies. All in all, things are going well.

She also found a strange "human" thing wandering around and quickly became smitten.

He's good at cuddles.

Day #5 of Hearts and Hands Week.

Sire's Hollow is a quaint little town not too far from Ponyville. Anon would never have any reason to set foot in the place were it not for his best friend, Sunburst, asking him for a massive solid:

Keep his mother, Stellar Flare, preoccupied for a few days while he conducts research on the town's recently discovered magical properties.

Sunburst loves his mom, and they've worked through their communication issues before, but as head of the Sire's Hollow Development Committee, she would never approve of the tests he intends to run. So, Anon will act as a "distraction," allowing Sunburst to get done before she notices.

He does a better job than either of them were expecting.
