The office was quiet, the only sound the ticking of a clock on the bookshelves lining the wall. Twilight Sparkle was bent over her desk, intent on the documents before her. She could be heard quietly muttering arcane formulas and half remembered thaumaturgic theorems. 
        
Behind her and unseen, the door slowly opened. On the far side a pair of magenta eyes twinkled mischievously as they met with a smaller pair of emerald eyes. “Go get her.” Celestia whispered.
        
The peace and quiet of the office was shattered with a mighty roar. “RAWR IMA DINASAWR.” With that mighty pronouncement a flashing green and blue blur flashed across the room. Twilight spun on her cushion with a shriek just in time to fall to the floor with a grinning bundle on her chest.
        
“OM NOM NOM, IMA EAT YOU UP MAMA!” Suiting action to those words, the small mouth started chewing on Twilights ear. 
        
Twilight started giggling uncontrollably. “Dawn, Dawn! Not my ear, I’m ticklish, hahaha, please no more, hehehe, I surrender!”
        
A golden glow surrounded the small blue pegasus filly and lifted her off of her mother. As she floated through the air, Twilight recovered enough to reassess the situation. Her two favorite ponies in the world were standing in her office… wearing costumes. Her daughter, Dawn Morningstar, was dressed in a green suit with a long stuffed tail bedecked with felt triangles lining it. Her head was tucked into a larger hood with more felt spikes and some long white felt teeth that came down around her face. Topping the whole ensemble were two large eyes. Celestia on the other hand, was wearing a simple hat. Well, not that simple, in fact, it was rather goofy. It was a knit wool cap with a hole for her horn to go through, above that hole were two more knit horns. Celestia was also wearing a t-shirt with the words, “Juvenile Torosaurus” printed on it.
        
Twilight looked to her wife. “I like the new look Tia. It oddly suits you, I’m also loving what you’ve got our daughter in. May I ask where you got it?”

Celestia raised an elegant eyebrow. “What, a mother can’t create a costume of something her daughter loves just to see her wear it?”

“Rarity?”

Celestia deflated a little. “Rarity.”

Twilight moved over next to Celestia and nuzzled her. “Alright, I can see where this is going. You two are dinosaurs and I’m about to join you, aren’t I?”
        
“Pwease Mama? Mommy Tia said you’d take us to the museum. They have dinasawrs!” Dawn looked at her mother with excited eyes. “Can we go see them?”
        
Twilight put her hoof to her chin. “Hmm, let me think about it. Celestia, do you have any input on this proposed expedition?” 
        
Celestia grinned. “I proposed it, of course. I want to see them too. All of those dusty old fossils… and these ones won’t beg me for political favors!”
        
“Well, since your mother said it was ok, your other mother agrees. We’ll go to the museum, then if you’re good, I think Mommy Tia will buy us both ice cream.”
        
Dawn erupted in joy, “Yay! I love ice cream, I love dinasawrs, I love Mommy, I love Mama. Yes. Yes. Yes. Let’s go!” She punctuated her exclamation by bouncing around in a circle around Twilight, her plush tail flopping all over as she celebrated. The tail folded under her hooves and caused her to faceplant on the floor. She popped up instantly though and continued her dance around her mothers.

Celestia and Twilight looked on with soft pride and burning love. As they did so, Celestia leaned over and nudged her wife. “I’ve got a hat for you too”

Twilight groaned. “Yes dear.”
