Making my way through the palace from The Princess room to the barracks was a rather embarrassing experience not for the cargo itself, I mean yeah it is a little embarrassing walking around with a basket full of fillies, but it was worst the looks the rest of the guards were giving me, whispering among themselves the many possible explanations for a stallion to be caring around fillies in a basket.
"Dude six mares at the same time¿how does he do it? i can barely date two and that is already hard."
"Poor mare six fillies in on go must have been a rather painful experience."
"if i was in his horseshoes i would of have killed somepony by now"
After leaving my armor in the barracks I hurry home to escape the stares of my pears, once I arrive i made my way to my room to take the fillies out of the basket and onto my bedroom, i don't think the were gonna be to happy waking up in a basket in a strangers house.
After securing the fillies on my bed I hurry back downstairs to check if I Have everything i need to take care of them.
Okay, i don't have any toys in the house so i guess I have to take them shopping for some, seeing as the don't have any on their own, maybe i can earn they trust with toys or at least keep them entertained.
Lets check the kitchen, okay so I don't have any food cooked from last night so i guess i have to make something, i check the fridge and to my everlasting surprise i realize it is empty.
"Crud" okay no problem lets see if i can make a run to the market before it close.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Okay lets see what we need" I take my note from my saddlebags to check the items i believe will sulfide "Milk, some juice boxes, tomatoes, lechute, hay, potatoes, carrots, dandelions, daisies, apples (i certain a pony with a apple cutiemark must either like to eat the of knows how to do something with them), bananas and eggs."
In my distraction thanks to reading my list while walking I failed to notice i was walking to a stand until I crashed with it.
"Ouch" I said and proceed to rub my head with a hoof, once i open my eyes I am grated with a juice box stand and as luck will have they were on sale "Good, okay sir could you give me a couple of apple, orange and grape boxes" Better go with the popular choices just to be safe.
"Sure sir, just a moment" the sales pony says and ducks behind the counter to pick the juice boxes "you sir are a lucky stallion, these are my last couple of boxes one minute more and you wouldn't got any to buy" he says pulling a docen or so tiny boxes from behind the counter "and we are on sale"
"It is more like Karmic balance than luck" i say in a whisper like tone " so how much do I owe you" I finish and pull my coin bag out.
"Thanks to the sale we are offering one box for one bit sir" responds the sales pony.
"okay, here you go" I deposit the bits on the counter and leave looking for the rest of the stands in a hurry before they close "thanks for the juice"
"No sir thank you for coming and have a good day" i hear the sales pony say while i leave.

The rest of the shopping trip was uneventful, I didn't find any other store offering a sale but I did manage to get everything on the list so all in all it was a good trip.
After arriving home i put everything on the fridge carefully to not break any juice box or eggs.
Once everything is on the fridge i manege to hear some noise coming from my bedroom, they must be waking up better be there when they do.
I quietly make my way to my room as to not wake them better they wake for themselves than for hove steps.
Opening the door i am greeted with the sight of six fillies adorably rubbing the sleep out of their faces, I knock on the door to catch their attention, it seems to work as their attention is now directed to me.
".....¿Good morning?" i ask them in a rather pathetic way way to go genius "¿Did all of you have a pleasant dream? nice save.
My question seems to alert them that they were not alone it appears to me that they weren't aware of the other fillies when each of them woke up.
The cyan Pegasus was the first to attack me with questions and with hooves. As soon as the surprise wore off she turned into a bullet and flu straight to my head.
"¿Who are you?¿Who are they?¿Were are we?¿What do you what?"
After shaking the shock of the hit i proceed to rub my head with my hoof and explained....or rather tell the lie prepared by the princess.
"My name is Draft Scrip im your foalsiter, they are from left to right, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkiemina Dian Pie but she prefers Pinkie (i look at Pinkie for confirmation and she nods), Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy i believe you already know, and you are Rainbow Dash, you are in my house in Canterlot, and what i want right now is an aspirin......¿anything else?."
I try to ask in a kind tone of voice but the pain on my forehead may have given a different tone.I hope i don´t wake up with a second horn.
After thinking a couple of seconds she ask "¿Why are we here?" the rest seems to want to know that as well as they are now looking at me, Fluttershy doing so with only one eye as she covers the other one with her mane.
I have already told them what the princess told me to say i have no idea what to tell them, luckily im a writer so making stuff up is kind of my talent.
"Your parents won a trip around equestria with the princess so they left you with me, im the royal foalsiter, I foalsit for all the important ponies in Canterlot and im here as a favor to the princess, she didn´t spect that so many filies were going to show up but i told her is was going to be no problem and that they should enjoy they trip, you were all asleep when you got here."
They think about what i just told the and start to accept my lie all except Fluttershy who looks sad and ask"¿They didn't want us with them?"
I wince a little when i see her holding back tear "No, of course they want you with them but they didn´t have the space to accommodate you all, they were really sad that they couldn´t say good bye but time was running short"
That seemed to do the trick as she proceeds to dry her eyes and try to smile at me...then she shied away.guess the shy on Fluttershy is there for a reason.
"Now that introductions are out of the way ¿Who wants a tour of my house?" I ask more as a joke than anything but im greeted by six hove in the air.hmmmm maybe this wont be so hard after all.
.....oh crud i just jinxed myself.
