It had been a while since the Dazzlings had said their first words. Within those few months, the Dazzlings had gotten more fluent in speaking and had been able to talk instead of their baby talk. The Dazzlings were fast learners and they were pretty smart. They were smart for their age, maybe a little too smart for their age.
It was a Friday mid-afternoon, and Celestia and Sunset were going to go out that night to go hang out with their friends. But there was a problem, they hadn't found someone to take care of the Dazzlings for them. Sunset was at Sugar Cube Corner having lunch with the girls. The girls had seen Sunset's expression, so Pinkie Pie decided to change that frown of hers upside down.
"What's wrong Sunset, we're going to have a great night later!" said Pinkie Pie jumping up and down in her seat. Just thinking about all the fun they were going to have was making Pinkie excited.
Sunset sighed. "I and Celestia have looked all over for a babysitter but all of them are booked, I don't think I'll be able to come tonight." said Sunset will a depressed tone.
The girls were sad, they wanted to have a fun night with Sunset later but now that the Dazzlings didn't have a babysitter Sunset would have to stay home, that was until Pinkie Pie decided to speak up.
"I can take care of them for you." said Pinkie Pie with a smile.
All the girls looked at Pinkie Pie, they were surprised, they hadn't expected Pinkie Pie to say that. They wanted to have a good fun night together, and without Pinkie Pie, the night would just be weird without her, she was the party person in the group after all. Sunset was the most confused of all of them, Pinkie Pie was going to spend her night babysitting the Dazzlings instead of having fun with her friends.
"Are you sure?" asked Sunset. "You would rather take care of the Dazzlings instead of hanging out with us for the night."
"Yep, super sure you girls go have fun tonight, and plus I'll have fun taking care of the Dazzlings, I am good with babies after all." Pinkie smiled. "We'll have lots of fun, telling stories, making delicious treats, ooh! And watching funny tv shows that the girls are going to love!"
Pinkie did have a point she was good with babies, and she was a very trustworthy friend. But still, for Sunset to have Pinkie Pie do that would make her feel guilty for doing that, but Pinkie Pie really wanted to do this for her. And plus Pinkie Pie was being persistent about the idea and she wouldn't be sad if she couldn't hang out with her friends so Sunset decided to go along with it.
"Fine, meet us at Celestia's house at 7:30, I'll tell Celestia that your coming over to babysit the Dazzlings." said Sunset.
"Okie dokie lokie, I'm going to go so that I can get ready, bye guys." said Pinkie Pie.
One by one they all started to get up and head out so they could get ready for that night. Sunset got up and headed her way to Celestia's house. After a while of walking Sunset had gotten to the front of Celestia's house. The Dazzlings were on the ground playing with their stuffed animals until they saw Sunset.
"Hi, momma." said all three of the Dazzlings waving to their mom.
"Hello girls, have you seen Auntie Celestia anywhere?" asked Sunset looking down at the girls.
"She's in the office working, she told us just to play out here and not to get in the way of her working." said Adagio.
"Thank you Adagio." said Sunset.
"You're welcome." said Adagio with a smile.
Sunset smiled back as she then started to go to the office room upstairs. When she got to the office room she saw that Celestia was online trying to find a babysitter for the Dazzlings. Sunset knocked on the door to get Celestia's attention. Celestia turned around to see Sunset and smiled, she was glad to see Sunset.
"Hello Sunset, how was lunch with the girls?" asked Celestia.
"It was good, I also found a babysitter for the Dazzlings." said Sunset with a smile.
Celestia was surprised, she had almost given up trying to find a babysitter but leave it to Sunset to find a way. "Who did you find that wanted to take care of the Dazzlings?" asked Celestia.
"Pinkie Pie, she said that she would take care of the Dazzlings while were out were our friends." said Sunset.
"She wanted to babysit the girls instead of hanging out with you girls tonight?" questioned Celestia, she wasn't against the idea of Pinkie Pie babysitting but she also knew how much Pinkie loved having fun with her friends.
"Let Pinkie Pie, be Pinkie Pie, and plus she's good with babies and little kids." said Sunset. "She's taken care of the Cake twins for a long time, she has experience with babies so I trust her."
"Well she truly is a good friend to help out instead of having fun with you girls." said Celestia with a smile.
"Yeah she is, should we get ready so once Pinkie Pie gets here we can go?" asked Sunset.
"Agreed, we should." said Celestia as she got up from her seat to get ready for the night.
Sunset and Celestia got ready for Pinkie Pie to come over. They got the Dazzling's stuff ready and themselves ready for the night they were going to have. After a few minutes of getting everything ready, they were done. They decided to wait until Pinkie Pie gets there it was 7:27 after all. After a few minutes of waiting, the doorbell rang meaning someone was at the door, which was probably Pinkie Pie, as they opened the door what do you know it was Pinkie Pie.
"Hi! I'm here to take care of the Dazzlings for the night while you guys have fun." Pinkie Pie said happily.
"Thanks again for doing this Pinkie Pie, you got my text about everything you should know about the Dazzlings right?" asked Sunset.
"Yep, where the food is and when the Dazzling's bedtime is." said Pinkie Pie.
"Ok good, well we're going to go head out now." said Sunset.
"Ok, have fun you two." said Pinkie Pie waving goodbye to Sunset and Celestia.
"We will, you girls better be good to Pinkie Pie." said Sunset also waving goodbye to Pinkie Pie and the Dazzlings.
"We will momma." said the Dazzlings waving goodbye to their mom and auntie.
Sunset and Celestia walked out of the house leaving the Dazzlings in Pinkie Pie's hands, they got into the car and drove away. Pinkie watched as they drove off, she then turned around and closed the door. She then looked at the Dazzlings with a big smile on her face.
"So what do you girls want to do first?" asked Pinkie Pie, a smile on her face ready for all the fun her and the girls were going to have.
The Dazzlings looked at each other and then at Pinkie Pie with a smile.
"Can we hear a story about your time at school with momma?" Aria asked.
"How do girls know what school is?" asked Pinkie Pie, she was surprised the girls knew what school was.
"Momma told us that it's this fun place to go so that we can learn, make friends, and have a fun." said Sonata.
"Well she wasn't lying, ok I'll tell you a story with your momma with you." said Pinkie Pie, as she then tried to think of a story to tell the girls.
Pinkie Pie was thinking about of a story for the Dazzlings. She wanted to tell the Dazzlings about the Battle of the Bands but she would have to give them a white lie. So she decided to make it so that the story could be told to the little ones.
"Okay, so I have a story that I know you girls are absolutely going to love." said Pinkie Pie sitting down in front of the girls.
The girls got closer to Pinkie Pie so that they could get a good spot. Pinkie Pie pulled out three bags of popcorn out of her hair and gave them to the Dazzlings. The Dazzlings were confused but they laughed it off and took them as they happily ate the popcorn.
"So there was this event our school was having so that we could raise charity and have fun." said Pinkie Pie as she began the story.
"What's a charity?" asked Adagio, confused by the new word.
"It's a thing where people can get money so that they can help people in need." explained Pinkie Pie. "Anyways there was this charity but they decided to change the event to a singing tournament called the Battle of the Bands."
"What's a tournament?" asked Sonata.
"A tournament is a thing where a certain amount of people join, and when they win a match they move on to another round, when there are only eight people left they call that round the quarter-finals, when there are only four people left they call that round the semi-finals, and when there are only two people left they call that the finals, and if you win the whole thing you're called the Champion of the tournament." said Pinkie Pie happily explaining to the girls.
The Dazzlings were surprised they wanted to enter a tournament and become Champion but they didn't know how to.
"How can we enter a tournament?" asked Aria.
"Well your to young to enter one, but when you get older you can join one." said Pinkie Pie with a smile.
The Dazzlings were upset they wanted to join a tournament and become Champion but they were too young. Pinkie Pie saw this so she decided to make them feel better.
"Do you guys want me to continue my story with your momma?" asked Pinkie Pie noticing the frowns on the girl's faces.
"Yes please." said the Dazzlings happy once again to hear how the story goes.
"Well anyways, me, your mom, and all of our friends decided to compete, we won our way through match after match, every match got harder until we made it to the semi-finals with our team. We had almost thought that we lost in the semi's but we actually won and moved on to the Finals against the fan favorite team." said Pinkie Pie.
"What does fan favorite mean?" asked Adagio.
"Fan favorite means someone that the fans like and people who think they will win." explained Pinkie Pie. "So anyways we went on to the Finals, and we gave it us all in that match it was the hardest match we had ever had, but in the end we won the Battle of the Bands and became Champions and it was all thanks to your mom, The End." said Pinkie Pie, finishing the story.
The Dazzlings were in awe, not only had that story been the best story they had ever heard but also their mother and her friends won the tournament and became Champion. They had so many questions but Pinkie Pie stopped them.
"Girls it time for your bedtime and plus you can just ask your momma about what happened." said Pinkie Pie as she started getting everything ready for bed.
"Okay." said the Dazzlings as they helped Pinkie Pie get everything ready for bed.
Pinkie walked the girls to their beds and tucked them in bed for the night. As she put them to sleep she decided to keep herself distracted until Sunset and Celestia got home. It hasn't another hour until they got home.
"Thanks for babysitting the Dazzlings for us tonight Pinkie." said Celestia.
"Your welcome, it was really fun." said Pinkie with a smile.
"What did you guys do?" asked Sunset.
"I told them about the Battle of the Bands, but with leaving all the magic, and the mind control." said Pinkie Pie.
Sunset nodded and smiled. "Well thanks again, Pinkie Pie has a good night, and a safe trip home."
"You too and if you ever need a babysitter you can just ask me." said Pinkie Pie as she walked out of the house and waved goodbye.
And with that Pinkie Pie left the house and headed her way home. Sunset and Celestia checked up on the kids, they saw the three Dazzlings asleep. Sunset and Celestia were glad to see the Dazzlings asleep.
"So Celestia in a few months the Dazzlings will start going to kindergarten, do you have the paperwork all done for the Dazzlings?" asked Sunset.
"Almost, we should tell them soon about us wanting them to go to school." said Celestia.
And with that, the moon was high in the night sky with all the stars with them.
