It had taken less then 24 hours to repair Ponyville, as the newly reformed changelings gladly helped out.
"Ugh...that Nozrog's gotten clever suddenly. He wasn't like this before, I can tell you that much." Shallor said. "It's like suddenly everything about him has been cranked up to an eleven."
"All the same, thanks for your help in repairing the town." Twilight said to Thorax.
"Hey, no problem. You've been letting us stay at the castle which somehow, was the only structure that didn't get damaged. So, the least we could do to repay that was help rebuild the town." Thorax said.
"That's not wrong I suppose..." Pharyanx said. "But I am a little curious as to how the Castle didn't get damaged when there was that huge of a battle going on."
"Beats me..." Twilight said.
"Wee! Look at me!" Pinkie Pie said, as she was suddenly bouncing around with all of Throsten's kids on her.
"Uh oh...I think Pinkie Pie's got that babysitting look in her eyes again..." Twilight said.
"I was actually hoping one of you ponies could look after my kids for a couple of days. I could really use some time with my wives for a while. Especially Gloria." Throsten said.
"...Err..." Twilight was about to argue.
"So I'm glad the kids have latched onto Pinkie Pie. Makes that process easy." Throsten said as he and his wives left.
"...Wait, did Throsten and his wives just leave?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"...You just had to have Throsten's kids attach themselves to you, didn't you?" Sunset asked.
"Well, I'm sure I really can handle this this time. Because this time, I know what I'm doing!" Pinkie Pie said.
"...I guess in all fairness, you would." Sunset said.
Surprising every pony, Pinkie Pie did in fact do well with Throsten's Kids, plus the Baby Cakes had some fun with them too.
...Though it did cause a mess at Sugarcube Corner at one point...
A few days later, Throsten and his wives came back. "Aw, the little bundles of joy are all sleeping." Throsten said as his wives picked up the kids. "Thanks for looking after them, Pinkie Pie." Throsten said.
"No sweat. Just ah...don't do that again sometime soon. Mr. and Mrs. Cake are still cleaning up the mess they and the Baby Cakes made while they were here." Pinkie Pie said.
"Kids will be kids no matter what species they are, huh?" Throsten asked.
"You have no idea." Pinkie Pie said. "Especially those Eevees and the Baby Cakes..."
"Well, here's hoping that they'll still be tired for bedtime tonight." Throsten said as he and his wives left with the kids.
And once they were fully out of sight, Pinkie Pie just...crashed and started sleeping.
"...I'm guessing we should probably not wake her..." Sunset whispered.
"Good idea..." Twilight said.
The Ponies then proceeded to get Pinkie Pie into Sugarcube corner and in her usual bed before they left her to sleep for the day.
