Prompt: Foals
“Pinkie Pie, would you do me a favor? Like, a really, really, really, huge favor that would totally help me out, but might change the rest of your life?”
Pinkie Pie wasn’t often interested in things that many ponies had to say. After all, none of them ever said anything as spectacular and bizarre as her, and she quite liked it like that. But this strange comment brought up by her wife, Princess Twilight Sparkle, made her curious. “I guess it depends on what kind of a huge favor it is! Is it a good huge favor or a bad huge favor? Is it a fun huge favor or is it boring, like watching paint dry in a room of your own clones who may or may not be you?”
Twilight blinked, cocking her head to one side. “What? Oh…good favor. Definitely good favor.”
Pinkie giggled, bouncing a little up and down. “Then tell me, silly-dilly!”
The alicorn took in a deep breath before releasing it slowly. “Well, Princess Celestia was at the Canterlot Orphanage, and she discovered a filly and a colt, cute little ones who looked like they needed a home. But she thought more of them. She could feel that something was special about them, and she felt her most faithful student would be able to figure it out. So she gave them to me.”
Pinkie tipped her head a little, curious as to where this conversation would lead.
“And with my new crazy life as a princess, I can’t really take care of them all the time. So I knew if there was one pony I could count on to take care of two foals…” Twilight placed her head on her wife’s shoulder. “It would be you,” she whispered.
Blue eyes went wide. “You want me to take care of two foals for you? Like…they could be ours?”
Twilight’s head jerked up, violet eyes shocked and a rosy pink blush on her cheeks. “Well…yeah, I guess so. Yeah, like our own foals.”
Pinkie’s grin spread from ear to ear. “Then what are we waiting for, silly? I want to meet them!”
Tears appeared in the corners of Twilight’s eyes; with a sigh of relief she embraced her wife in a tight grip. “The colt is a pegasus and the filly is an earth pony.”
“Can we call one of them Pink Frosting?” Pinkie asked immediately; Twilight looked up in surprise. “I’ve always wanted to name a little pony Pink Frosting! I mean, wouldn’t that just be the best name ever? It’s all like, ‘What’s your name?’ and the little one’s all like, ‘Pink Frosting, isn’t that cool?’ and on and on!”
Twilight shrugged, a soft giggle bubbling to the surface. “Sure…yeah. The colt is pink – we can call him Pink Frosting. Frosty for short, maybe.”
“I love it!” The pink earth pony began to bounce in circles around her wife, grinning like a madmare. “Do you want to name the filly, then?”
“Yes.” Twilight blushed. “I want to name her Sweet Pie. In honor of you.”
Before Pinkie could react, Twilight had used her magic to levitate her wife closer and enveloped her in a deep kiss. Pinkie’s mind exploded with joy and she returned it, wrapping one hoof around Twilight’s neck.
When they broke apart, they stared at each other for a minute, neither saying a word.
Then Pinkie spoke, her voice as bubbly and cheerful as ever.
“Come on, Twily! Let’s go meet our foals!”
