“Come on Rainbow! Open up!” Pinkie Pie said in a sing songy tone at the door.

The door opened up, the same raucous sight as before coming into light. The same blanketed crib, the same gravity waterer, the same Rainbow still talking to her foal about how he needs to become a Wonderbolt…

The other five spread out, looking throughout Rainbow’s home for any upstart problems or easy solutions. Twilight glanced about the building before taking out a small quill from behind her ear and began jotting down some notes, in the usual, detail-oriented style she was renown across Equestria for. Her gaze seemed piercing, yet it also seemed like she was looking right through anything that could possibly make her upset.

“Aw, this takes me back to when I was just a little foal.” Applejack said after pulling up Killdozer’s blanket with her mouth and placing it into her hooves. “This really makes me happier than a hog in high heaven to see other little fillies and colts will get to have something like this to remember!”

“Forgive me Applejack, but- a rag?” Rarity questioned.

“It’s not a rag, Rarity.” Applejack retorted, snorting air out of her muzzle. “I remember when Granny Smith gave me one of these so I could sleep through the night all peaceful-like! I used to use something like this to fall asleep even during a zap apple harvest!”

“Ooh, ooh! And look at this cool watering device! I’ve got one of these for Gummy back at home!” Pinkie Pie interjected, stepping in out of seemingly nowhere.

“Yes, yes, you see, I don’t really think the proper care for a foal involves any err… “darkening blankets” or “gravity waterers”.” Rarity crooned.

“Well you would say that Rarity, considering you grew up all froo froo and fanciful. I reckon what we’ve got here is a usual happy Ponyville childhood!” Applejack said as she smiled back at Rarity. “Nothing here to worry about!”

Twilight Sparkle slowly trotted over to the commotion. Her ever optimistic face was as unwavering as ever as she closed her eyes and unfurled her note she had been writing up.

“You see girls, Rarity is right.” Twilight Sparkle nodded, looking over her notes. “Long ago, Celestia gave me a bit of assigned research on foal raising, and almost none of this correlates with the optimal feeding/loving/burping schedules I read about!”

“Well Twilight, dear, I don’t think that’s exactly what I meant either.” Rarity said, shaking her head slowly in response.

“I think that seems like a wonderful idea, Twilight” Fluttershy peeped up, after a momentary pause.

“Well then hold on gals, because I will be right back after I get Spike to find me ‘The Ultimate Foal-sitter’s Guide: Basic Care for Everypony’!”
