While Chase was in his Thomas and Friends pajamas after he had his bedtime bath and was playing with his toys, he heard the door open and saw Cadence come over because Sunset recently asked her to babysit him.
Cadence was wearing a teal shirt with her crystal heart symbol underneath a blue sweatshirt with pink stripes, a pink skirt, her black cropped pants and her navy blue flats. She was now 7 months pregnant with her baby.
“CADY! Chase exclaimed as he went over to hug his favorite babysitter/step-aunt, until he felt her belly push him back a little. “It’s good to see you, too, sweetheart,” Cadence said, until she sat down on the couch, and hugged him again. “How’s my little munchkin?” she asked. “I’m good,” Chase said. “I heard about what happened,” Cadence said. “Are you feeling better, sweetheart?” Chase nodded and then he went to his play mat and cleaned up his toys.
When he was done, Cadence was sitting down the couch leaning back and watching a classical movie about love and mystery. Cadence felt so relaxed and rested while she was comfy on the couch, until she saw Chase near her right leg.
“Here, sit close to me,” she said kindly, until Chase came over to the couch and leaned next to Cadence, until his head rested on the side of her belly and he felt her hand stroking his cheek. “You enjoying the summer?” Cadence asked. “Mmhmm,” Chase said. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m just glad you’re feeling better,” Cadence said. “It’s also a shame they don’t make movies like these anymore. I love romantic classics. I even read some books about love, including Twilight.”
“Wow, I like to read children’s books,” Chase said. “Yeah, I know,” Cadence said, until she suddenly jolted after feeling a few kicks in her abdomen, then she unrolled her shirt and gently rubbed her gravid midsection to calm her unborn daughter, and then rested her legs on the other side of the couch and placed a pillow underneath her back to avoid back pain, then she rubbed her belly to calm her child, until Chase came over. “Would you like to feel it?” she asked. “Okay,” Chase said, until he gently placed his hand on her midsection and gently pressed on her stomach, until he felt her kick again and softly rubbed her belly. “Looks like she’s excited to meet you,” Cadence said. “Can I lay on it?” Chase asked. “Mmhmm,” she replied, then she lifted him up and placed him on the couch, until he crawled over, laid down on her belly and gave her a warm hug.
Chase then fell asleep, while he felt Cadence’s belly rising up and down due to her breathing, then she wrapped her arms around him and then she put her favorite movie back on.
Meanwhile, Sunset and the girls went towards the entrance of Eduardo’s restaurant after they parked their car. They snuck towards a wall and then Rainbow Dash checked for any guards, “Okay, we’re clear.” They then quietly snuck towards the door and Sunset found out that the door was locked. “It’s locked,” she said. “Great. How’re we gonna get inside?” Rainbow Dash asked. “I may have something in my makeup bag that can pick the lock,” Rarity said, as she looked through her purse and found a small pin, then Twilight used her telekinetic magic to pick through the lock, until the door opened. “Well, that was easy,” Twilight said, after she pushed her glasses up a little. Then, they entered the restaurant and looked around for clues, until Rainbow Dash made sure the door was shut and the blinds were shut.
While they looked around for evidence, Rarity accidentally tripped over a little wire that was connected to a small bell, until the girls cowered towards each other and shook, but suddenly they saw something coming. When it came out, it was a little chicken. “It’s a chicken,” Twilight said. “Aww... are you lost, little guy?” Fluttershy asked, until the chicken clucked. “You must be lost.” Rainbow Dash then laughed, “A chicken? Some guard dog that is! What’s the worst thing that can possibly happen?”
Sunset shrugged her shoulders and smirked, then she placed her hand on her hip, “Well, at least it can’t get any worse.” Suddenly, the chicken leaped onto Sunset and started pecking her face with his beak until Sunset moved around the restaurant making a mess, “AGH! Get it off of me! Get it off of me! Get it off of me!”
“Hold still, darling!” Rarity said, until she used a translucent diamond and tried to blast the chicken off her, but it dodges the attack and then leaps onto the ground and crawled underneath Rarity’s skirt and she starts to scream and rolls on the ground with her hands trying to catch the chicken underneath her shirt, but eventually, it pops his head out exposing himself between Rarity’s shirt and skirt, until Rainbow Dash grabbed the chicken’s neck and got angry at him, but the chicken bit her finger and started pecking her face, until Applejack used a tablecloth to grab the chicken, but she ends up leaving Rainbow Dash blind and covered in the tablecloth like a ghost, but she then trips over the floor and falls down and then Spike growls at the chicken, until it clucked and charged towards him, but Fluttershy kneeled down and gave him the stare, making the vile creature dizzy and Twilight tied him up with a cloth napkin. “There, that should hold him off,” Twilight said.
“Is everyone okay?” Applejack asked. The girls nodded, until they got confused about the chicken. “I just don’t get it. What caused this creature to act this way?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t know, but that was a close call,” Applejack said. “You said it,” Rainbow Dash replied. “That pollo was loco!” Pinkie Pie said, until the girls made stern looks. “What?”
Later on, they went to the kitchen and looked everywhere for evidence, until Pinkie Pie saw a picture frame of Eduardo. She went to it and found out it had a vault behind it, “Hey! There’s a vault over here! Maybe there’s loot inside!” Sunset realized what she meant, “Or maybe some kind of dark magic potion from Equestria.” Twilight took her laptop out of her bag and tried to hack into the vault’s security code, then numbers popped open and the vault door opened and Rainbow Dash grabbed the jar inside it. “Aha! Wait a minute...” Sunset then took the jar and read the label titled Eduardo’s Secret Salsa Recipe“Is this... salsa?”
“Aww, dang it,” Twilight said. The girls then groaned in disappointment.
“Ooooh! Salsa!” Pinkie Pie said.
After Cadence put Chase in bed, she went back to the living room and read a book. Suddenly, Chase came back down, until Cadence looked at him, “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Chase then yawned, “I’m thirsty.” Cadence carefully got up and went to the kitchen, got Chase a cold cup of water, let him finish his drink and sent him back to bed. And when Chase was in bed with his drink, she went back to the couch and continued to read her book and waited until Sunset would return.
“I don’t understand. If Eduardo’s not the culprit, then who is?” Sunset asked pacing around thinking. “I don’t know, darling. But I’m sure we’ll find out soon and get this summer break over with,” Rarity said. “You might have a point,” Rainbow Dash said.
Meanwhile, Eduardo returned to the front entrance, only to see that it was already open, “Huh?” He then opened the door and looks around suspiciously. “Somebody’s going to die tonight.....” he said until he started looking around, before he saw his chicken tied up and gasped in horror. “Pollito! What did they do to you?” He asked after he lifted his chicken up. “Pollito, can you hear me?” Pollito clucked in reply, then Eduardo nuzzled his cheek with the chicken, “Who would do this to such a sweet little chicken?” He suddenly heard a noise from the kitchen, “Huh? WHO’S THERE?!”
The girls turn around, while Pinkie was eating chips with the salsa. “Uh oh…” she said with her mouth full with chips and salsa. “He’s here!” Rarity said.
Eduardo grabbed a knife, “You coming out? Or am I gonna go in?”
The girls try to find a way out, but Sunset found a big air vent. Sunset kneeled down and lifted the air vent open. “Quick! This way!” Sunset said as the girls retreated into the vent. Eduardo jumped in the kitchen, but missed the intruders, until he saw that someone’s been eating his secret salsa recipe, and that they went through the vent.
“For once, I’m glad someone has nice clean air vents,” Rarity said. “I forgot to mention that I’m severely allergic to dust and vacuum dirt.”
“Shhhhhh! Don’t you wanna get busted? He’ll hear us!” Sunset said. “Sorry, darling,” Rarity said, until eventually, they made it out of the vent and then went towards the car, until Eduardo came out and then heard them hide, then flipped out 8 knives in each hand, “AHA! I HAVE YOU NOW!” Suddenly, he was ran over by their car. The girls saw Spike driving, “Sorry, he was getting on my nerves.” Twilight rolled her eyes and held him in her arms.
After they got in, they left the restaurant and drove home, until Eduardo woke up dizzy.
Sunset suddenly came back in and saw Cadence sitting on the couch watching “Twilight.”
“Hey, Dean Cadence,” Sunset said, until Cadence was jolted in surprise. “Oh, Sunset! I thought you’d be back by 11,” Cadence said. “Well, I said I’d be back later. Where’s Chase?”
“Oh, I put him to bed,” Cadence said. “Yes, he brushed his teeth.” Sunset nodded, “Thanks for watching him for me.”
“Anytime, Sunset. I should be going now. Call me anytime,”. Cadence said, until she left the apartment and walked home. After that, Sunset went to check on Chase. When she quietly walked in, she slowly covered the remaining corner of his blanket over him, then kissed his cheek, “I love you, buddy.” She then turned his nightlight on, left his room with the door halfway open.
