Twilight know noticed the flash and she knew immediately what had just happened and she just smiled. Luna noticed the smile on her mother’s face and she wondered why she was smiling, and the only way to find out was to ask. “Mommy why are you smil–“ her question was interrupted when she heard a loud crash behind her. Luna then turned around to see what was happening she gets tackled by Cadence. Now Cadence is holding Luna tightly so she can not escape. “Oh Luna! I missed you so much now that I remember who you are to me I missed spending time with you, calling you my niece and that I am glad that you are ok, and not hurt—“ Cadence was stopped by Twilight, who had covered her mouth with a hoof. “One, I am happy to have my sister-in-law back. Two, if you want your niece to be alright, please let her go you are suffocating her. Three, slow down or you are going to pass out like Luna did, when we gave her memories back. Let them flow slowly not all in on one go, ok?” Twilight asked with a very calm voice. Cadence nodded and she let go of Luna, who let a loud gasp for air and she thanked her mother. “Now, I am going to release my hoof. When I do, speak slowly and let your memories fade back in to your head, ok Cadence?“ asked Twilight Twilight received another nod from her again and at that moment Celestia walked up to her wife and just chucked at the site of what just happened after she finished chuckling she spoke. “So, sister I see that you are happy to have your memories back, and by the looks of it I see that you are happy to remember who Luna is.” “Yes, I am glad to remember Luna, she was my favorite pony to sit for besides for Twilight, but one thing, please don’t call me your sister. It feels weird after a thousand years of calling you my aunt.” Cadence requested, turning to regard all three ponies demurely. “As you wish Cadence, but we would like you to tell your husband that Twilight would like to talk to him, before you tell him about the truth about our family relationship, and you will tell him and the rest of your family why you kept this secret Twilight. Got it?” Celestia stated, glaring at her wife. “Yes. I know I have to tell them, so they will know, but let’s just wait a bit before we tell them. ” Twilight turned to look at Cadence before she continued. “So that you, Cadence, have to just to make sure that Shining has cooled down and stays that way, so I can explain to him and my parents, and make sure they understand completely.” Twilight explained her plan quickly. “Don’t worry, I'll make sure Shiny is calm, and I will be there with you the whole way, ok little sis?” Cadence added, confirming she knew her part in the coming event. “Ok sis, now come on Luna and Celestia, we have a night court to deal with.” Twilight stood up and started walking away from Cadence, trying to get her family to follow, but both Luna and Celestia were just surprised by how Twilight and Cadence were treating each other. Luna was surprised by how they were treating each other like they were true sisters. Celestia was just surprised because they were just treating each other like they went back a thousand years ago, before and after Twilight’s and Celestia’s marriage, after Luna’s birth and after Cadence’s and Shining Armor’s wedding. “So, are you just going two just going to stand there gawking, or are we going to deal with nobles now or tomorrow during day court to handle them?” Twilight inquired, looking at her wife and daughter with a questioning look. At that moment Celestia broke from her stupor and spoke up, “Oh sorry sweetheart! If I am thinking what Luna is thinking, then yeah, we would like to wait till tomorrow to deal with nobles. I'd rather not have more ponies on us for lying to them in the first place, but telling them about Cadence right now. That would just set them off so we just have to wait to tell them.” “Yeah, I think you are right. Let’s just spend the night to together and that also includes you Cadence, we have not had any time together as a family since King S—” before she could finish speaking, Twilight was halted by Cadence putting a hoof over Twilight’s mouth. “Please don’t bring his name up. It's hard to be regaining my memories, but remembering him means I then remember who his father was, and I don’t want to remember what that stallion did to me or my son. He is the one that turned him to the dark side in the first place, so please don’t say his name in my presence... it will just hurt me too deeply.” Cadence pleaded with Twilight, her eyes watering somewhat as she removed her hoof. “Ok Cadence, but I wish he was still here, so he can be part of this family with us. His father deserved what he got, but not your son, he deserves to be with us, a loving family that would have cared for and supported him.” Twilight pulled Cadence into a hug, to make her feel better. And at that moment, Celestia joined in and held her sister and wife, Luna just gave an audible “Ugh...” and joined in before she got pulled into the hug. They just sat there for a couple of minutes in each other's embrace, until Luna tried leaving and just got pulled right back in by Twilight. They stayed there a while, until a guard interrupted them, was asking if there will be night court or not tonight. All he go was a simple, “No.” ________________________________________ The Royal Gardens The four were just sitting there enjoying each other's presence, when Shining Armor came walking in. He saw that his wife was asleep with Princess Celestia and his so-called 'sister,' and Princess Luna, who was now awake. He just stood there like a statue and stared at how his wife was so forgiving about how they both deceived everypony in Equestria.
