Taking care of three fillies was hard work! Pinkie Piee already had Pumpkin Cake and Pound cake to deal with, so why why WHY did she choose to watch Luna too? The three fillies loved to run around and play with each other, play with Pinkie's mane, and eat! Eating everything! Pinkie could barely take it. 

"Alright, you three! No eating anymore!!" Pinkie cried. The three fillies tilted their heads. Pinkie raised her head, but the fillies had just began to eat some MORE! Frosting was smeared across walls, crumbs were scattered across the floor, and tablecloths and rags were torn and filled with teeth marks! Pinkie groaned loudly and collapsed onto the floor. Whoever knew dealing with these fillies was so much work?

"Please! Make it stop!" Pinkie cried some more. The fillies realized they had no choice, so they sat in front of her, not eating anymore. Pinkie finally stopped crying. "Thank you! Now who wants to play peek-a-boo?" she raced behind the kitchen door. "Peek-a-boo!" Pinkie laughed as she flung her head out. The fillies laughed along with her, it was so cute. "Peek-a-boo!" Pinkie repeated. The fillies were smiling and laughing until they were racing up to Pinkie and bouncing around her with joy. 

Pinkie smiled. "Aww! Maybe you guys aren't such a handful after all! I wonder how Twilight's doing with Princess Celestia..."
--------------------------
Twilight had Spike out away all fragile items that Celestia could break. There were a lot, so Fluttershy cam over to help as well. "Thanks for helping, Fluttershy," Twilight said. Fluttershy nodded, "I always stop to help a friend in need. Now, should I put her to bed? She seems quite tired..." She was right. The Princess was now yawning and falling asleep in Twilight's arms. "That'd be very helpful, thanks," Twilight said as she gave Celestia to Fluttershy. 

Fluttershy placed the Princess in Twilight's bed as she sang her "Hush Now Quiet Now" to make her fall asleep. Celeestia soon curled up in a ball and drifted off to sleep. It was too cute to be true, but it was. 

Twilight watched along with Fluttershy as Celestia fell asleep. "Aww! She's a very easy filly to get asleep," Twilight said. Fluttershy smiled in agreement. "Yes she is! I love her. Maybe she won't be so hard in the future." 

And they prayed with all their hearts that was a true statement.
