A Dazzling New Life

by Joshua the Dragonslayer


2. A Panda, A Tiger, And A Bunny

It had been ten minutes since Tom came and dropped off the Dazzlings. And since then Sunset and Celestia have been getting everything ready for their new family members. The Dazzlings were still sound asleep as they were left on the couch in their baby carrier. Sunset and Celestia smiled as they looked at the sleeping babies.

Sunset turned to ask Celestia a question. "Celestia, are you sure about this? Do you really think I can take care of them?"

"I'm sure you'll be a wonderful parent Sunset." Celestia said in a motherly tone with a smile on her face. "Plus, I'll be here to help you out every step of the way."

"Yeah I'm going to need all the help I can get." said Sunset as she looked at the babies. Deep down Sunset wasn't sure about this but with Celestia being there she felt a bit better.

"Sunset I think tomorrow we should go to the mall and get some baby supplies." said Celestia as she started writing a list.

"What do you have in mind?" asked Sunset as she looked over at what Celestia was writing down.

"Some diapers, baby food, toys, a bed, clothes, and pacifiers." recommended Celestia as she continued to write the list.

"Good idea, we better get an early morning then, good night Celestia." said Sunset as she started making her way back to her room.

"Good night Sunset." said Celestia as she gave Sunset a smile.

Celestia gave the Dazzlings a blanket to keep them warm and then put them in her room so that she could keep an eye on them for the night. As Celestia and Sunset went to bed they made sure the Dazzlings were okay for the night, after making sure the Dazzlings were good for the night they then got into bed and went to sleep.

The next morning Celestia and Sunset woke up at 7:00 to get ready for the day.

"Good morning Sunset I was just going to make some eggs and bacon." said Celestia as she started getting to work making breakfast for the day.

"Anything you cook is good to me." said Sunset with a smile.

After Sunset got dressed and ready for the day, she had breakfast with Celestia. While she was eating she turned and was surprised to see that the Dazzlings were still asleep after nearly ten hours. She was worried that the potion had done something else instead of making them babies.

"Hey Celestia, why are the Dazzlings still asleep?" asked Sunset in a confused tone.

"Well Sunset, babies sleep longer because they are still young." Celestia didn't know a valid answer for that so she made one up.

"When do you think they will wake up?" asked Sunset looking at Celestia.

Just at that moment, it was as if the gods themselves made it happen because the Dazzlings then woke up. Celestia had a clear vision of the Dazzlings so she just simply turned Sunset's head around. Both Celestia and Sunset got up to see the baby versions of the Dazzlings. As they looked at the Dazzlings they saw three little babies looking right back at them with little smiles on their little faces.

"They are so cute." said Sunset with a big smile on her face.

"Yes indeed they are." said Celestia with a smile of her own.

Celestia looked down at her watch, it was 8:13, and she thought that this was a good time to get going to the mall. "Sunset can you take the baby carrier and put it in my car." asked Celestia.

Sunset simply nodded her head as she picked up the carrier and took it to Celestia's car. Once they got into the car they took off. It was a simple ten-minute drive there during the ride Sunset decided to play with the Dazzlings. "Peek-a-boo." said Sunset in a playful tone as she covered her eyes and then uncovered them.

The Dazzlings laughed at this, Sunset was happy that she was going to be the mother and teach them all sorts of things. Celestia merely smiled at the sight of this. After a ten-minute drive, they got all the mall. As they got out of the car they walked into the mall.

"I think we should split up Sunset I'll take the Dazzlings." said Celestia as she took the baby carrier from Sunset.

"Sure ok, what do you want me to get?" asked Sunset.

Celestia looked down at her list. "You can go get the three pacifiers, the baby food, and the diapers, I'll go get the bed, the toys, and the clothes."

Sunset nodded to Celestia and headed her way while Celestia went the other way. Sunset had easily gotten the diapers, the baby food, and the pacifiers and was on her way to Celestia. Celestia had gotten the bed, and the clothes but she didn't know what kinds of toys to get for the baby Dazzlings. Just then Sunset had just walked into the toy store where Celestia was.

"Ah Sunset, I'm glad you came I don't know what kind of toys to get for the Dazzlings, could you help me?" asked Celestia.

"Sure Celestia, I think I know just the thing." said Sunset.

Sunset walked around the store looking for a certain aisle. She walked around for a while but then she found the aisle she was looking for. The plushy aisle, she had grown up with a teddy bear so she knew this would be a perfect toy for them all to play with. She saw three stuffed animals that the Dazzlings would love. She got a stuffed bunny for Sonata, a stuffed tiger for Aria, and a stuffed panda for Adagio. She showed Celestia what she had gotten and Celestia nodded her head with a smile. As they paid for the three stuffed animals they started their way to Celestia's car. Once they got to their car they started their way back home.

"You think they're going to like the stuffed animals we got them?" asked Celestia.

"Yes, because when I was younger I had a teddy bear, so I just got them something little." said Sunset.

After a little while longer they got home. Celestia and Sunset had started to put everything where it belonged. After a few minutes of getting the bed into Sunset's room, they decided to get some lunch.

"Hey Sunset, I'm going to make some pasta for lunch." said Celestia.

"Ok, I'm going to give the babies their stuffed animals." said Sunset.

Sunset went to the bag in the living room and got out the Dazzling's new stuffed animals. She first removed the babies from their carriers and set them on the living room ground. The baby Dazzlings happily crawled around the ground as they were finally out of their carrier.

"Hey girls, I have a gift for you." said Sunset with a smile on her face.

The three babies were crawling around on the ground until Sunset called them. They started to crawl to Sunset to see what she wanted. Sunset sat in front of the Dazzlings with the stuffed animals behind her back.

"Ok girls, here's your toys." said Sunset as she handed the stuffed animals to the Dazzlings.

Sunset looked as she saw the Dazzlings playing with their new toys. They looked so happy playing with their stuffed animals. She got up to see if Celestia was done with making their food. Celestia had just finished making the pasta and was starting to eat when Sunset came into the kitchen.

"Did the Dazzlings like their new toys Sunset?" asked Celestia taking a bite of her pasta.

"Yeah they liked them a lot they looked so happy playing together." said Sunset smiling as she grabbed a plate of pasta herself.

After a while of eating, they heard crying. Sunset and Celestia immediately jumped up and ran over to the living room to see what had happened, hoping nothing bad had happened. When they got to the living they saw all three of the Dazzlings crying. Sunset was confused as to why the Dazzlings would be crying for no reason.

"Why are they crying? I don't smell anything." said Sunset.

"They must be hungry then, Sunset would you mind if you got the baby food?" asked Celestia.

"Sure Celestia, where did you put them?" asked Sunset.

"In the cabinet to the left." said Celestia.

Sunset nodded as she went to go get the baby food. Celestia picked up the babies and put them on their high chairs. Sunset found the baby food and got three little spoons. Once Celestia put the Dazzlings into their high chairs Sunset came over to give the baby food to Celestia so that she could get the babies their baby bottles.

"Open wide the Choo-Choo train is coming." said Celestia to the Dazzlings.

Celestia first fed Adagio, then Aria, and then finally Sonata. They all looked like they were enjoying the food, as they ate with smiles. While doing that, Sunset had just finished making the bottles for the babies. After the Dazzlings had their baby food Celestia picked up Aria while Sunset picked up Sonata and gave them their bottles. Once Celestia finished giving Aria her bottle she then picked up Adagio and started to do the same thing with her bottle. Sunset finished feeding Sonata and put her down to go play with Aria while Celestia finished and put down Adagio.

"You know Sunset you're going to have to tell your friends about this predicament." said Celestia turning to face Sunset.

"I know Celestia I'll tell them tomorrow when we go to Sugar Cube Corner." said Sunset as she looked at the baby Dazzlings happily playing with one another and with their new toys. "I hope they won't be mad about this."

"If they're your true friends then they should understand." said Celestia, as both she and Sunset continued looking at the babies.
