"Well my little foals, let me tell you the story of how I met your mommy!" Pinkie Pie told the young filly and colt in the crib before her. "It all began a very very long time ago, when your mommy was still trapped under the curse of Studyin-citis."
"Pinkie, that's not even a word," Twilight interrupted her wife. "Don't teach them words that aren't real."
"Aww my silly filly," Pinkie Pie kissed Twilight Sparkle's cheek. "They won't even remember. Now where was I? Oh yeah, Studyin-citis. It's a terrible curse, that forces you to do nothing but study and read books all day long! Now mind you, Twilight was living in Canterlot at the time, so it wasn't really her fault. She was Princess Celestia's star student after all."
Twilight smiled at the memories as Pinkie Pie brought them up. It had been a very long time since she had lived in Canterlot. Now she was a Princess herself, and she and Pinkie Pie had a castle to themselves. Their friends would often visit, since the castle was so close to Ponyville. Despite the fact that it was in the Everfree Forest, Twilight had put up many magical wards to make the journey to the castle as safe as possible.
Now she and Pinkie Pie were in the castle, with their two foals who were just born a month ago. One was a pinkish unicorn with hints of purple in her fur. The other was a dark violet earth pony with a deep blue mane and bright eyes. Pinkie Pie had convinced Twilight to let her tell the story of how they met, provided that Twilight could stay in the room and supervise as Pinkie Pie did so.
"Now Princess Celestia is a very wise alicorn," Pinkie Pie continued. "And she knew about Twilight's curse. So she sent Twilight to Ponyville in hopes of her finding a cure! Now when I saw your mother, I was heartbroken. This poor pony was under the curse so bad, I could see it in her eyes." Pinkie Pie stroked Twilight's mane lovingly. "I knew I had to save her from this evil curse! And there was only one way I could do so: Throw a party!"
Twilight rolled her eyes and smiled as Pinkie Pie went on. "Unfortunately the Party didn't seem to work, since she was still going on about Nightmare Moon. Now that is a story I will tell you another time, because Twilight thinks it's too scary for you two. I will tell you this however, Nightmare Moon was a big bully and your mommy, me, and our other friends; your auntie Applejack, auntie Rarity, auntie Rainbow Dash, and auntie Fluttershy; worked together to return Nightmare Moon to normal. I'll give you the details when you're a little older.
"After everything that happened with Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia let Twilight Sparkle stay in Ponyville! I was overjoyed, because that meant I could free poor Twilight from her curse! It took a very very long time however, and I had to get all of our friends to help her! We finally managed to pull her out of the evil clutches of Studyin-citis, but that was after your mommy became a princess!" Pinkie Pie giggled and looked at her wife, "Of course she was already my princess in the first place."
Twilight blushed at that and nuzzled her wife gently. Pinkie Pie laughed softly and hugged Twilight Sparkle tightly. "Of course I love her so much! She is the smartest, most amazing, wonderful, coolest pony in all of Equestria!"
"And I love you too Pinkie Pie," said Twilight with a smile. "Now I'll tell them how we actually fell in love and decided to get together, okay?"
"Okie dokie lokie!" said Pinkie Pie.
Twilight looked at their two foals and started, "Well I realized my feelings for Pinkie Pie after the Changeling Siege of Canterlot. That is a story I'll tell you another time, since you're too young to hear that one. It started with a cupcake, or rather a cupcake batter."
"It was the first time your mommy ever made cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie added in, giggling. "It was really funny. She burned the first batch actually, and when-"
"Pinkie, I'm telling this one okay?" Twilight cut her off.
"Right, sorry," said Pinkie Pie. She mimed zipping her lips and nodded for Twilight to continue.
Twilight chuckled and continued her story, "Pinkie is right, I did actually burn the first batch. The second one I tried using magic, and I ended up making the cupcake batter explode. Cupcakes are best made by earth ponies, not unicorns. Oh you should have seen the mess, there was batter everywhere!"
"You should have seen her face!" Pinkie Pie said, laughing. "She looked so a-dork-able!"
"Yes..." Twilight's face went slightly red, remembering that moment. "It was a bit sticky too, so I had to take a bath. And Pinkie Pie...well she took the bath with me, since she was covered in cupcake batter too."
"It was a lot of fun!" said Pinkie Pie. "After the bath, I helped her bake the cupcakes Pinkie Style!"
"And that was the best batch we made," Twilight finished. "Pinkie Pie shared the cupcakes with me, and that was when I decided I really loved your mother. Much more than just a best friend."
"She realized I'm great for cuddling!" Pinkie Pie added. "I'm her favorite cuddle buddy!"
Twilight laughed softly and said, "Pinkie Pie, you're my only cuddle buddy."
"Duh!" said Pinkie Pie. She hugged her wife and Twilight hugged her back.
"And that's the story of how we met and fell in love," Twilight concluded.
Then the two mares noticed their foals had fallen asleep. They giggled softly and decided to let the little ones sleep. Pinkie Pie followed Twilight out of the room, turning off the light behind her. Twilight was actually a little relieved that they hadn't heard the last bit, but Pinkie Pie didn't seem to notice. That was okay too.
