//------------------------------//

Within the Mystic Library's classrom, Blackwitch and Tao were close to Jade Adventure who was writing on the chalkboard. She was writing 'I'd never tear the page of Book of Ages' for several times.

"So uncool..." Jade remarked in annoyance.

Tao huffed, "The next time you want something, you'd better think twice, Jade Mindy Adventure."

"Indeed. Tearing the paper from books is one things, but from Book of Ages," Blackwitch snarled, "It's terrible! There is no telling what kind of catastrophe could create! Or even what happen to the past or present!"

Jade snorted, "Well, at least, I didn't write anything on it, or even let anyone steal it."

"Well, I don't want to think about..." Blackwitch remarked in annoyance.

"There goes my chance to see the best surprise..." Jade muttered.

Jade continued writing down ton chalkboard while Tao and Blackwitch were keeping their eyes on her. Two shadowy ponies from the outside of classroom overheard everything before smiled proudly. They turned and headed off at once. Who were they? What are they planning with Book of Ages?





Within the Castle of Friendship...

Inside the Princess of Friendship's bed chamber, laughter was sounded within it. Shadow Dragon was lying down on the bed while Twilight Sparkle was on top of him. 

As she lay on his body, both of them held each other's heads. She pressed her lips against his passionately and gently. They both then opened their mouths, let their tongues sticking to each other's and even the lips. They each held something from bottom for the moment, thus making they sighed happily. They departed for the moment. Mystic General smiled as he kissed on her chest while hugging her. Princess of Friendship giggled happily. 

Shadow Dragon slowly getting up including moving Twilight Sparkle up as well. He kissed around of her neck, making her sighed happily. She then held his head as she kissed on his lips. They both moved slowly around in switching their position. He then pushed her gently against the bed's mattress. They both held each other's hooves locked down while having another went over their shoulders. Shadow Dragon slowly pushed his bottom against Twilight's, making her yelped in surprise while he grunted a bit. They both continued with it for ten times while kissed each other's lips passionately, gently and happily.

Both immortal ponies enjoyed spending their times of chastity on bed for two hours. They sighed happily as they stopped slowly. Shadow Dragon slowly lowered his head down, closing to Twilight's head. She giggled happily as she had her left hand pushed against her head. Both nuzzled each other's heads.

"We've got stop doing that," Shadow Dragon commented before chuckled a bit.

Twilight giggled happily before kissed one time on her boyfriend's lips, "Just admit, Shadow. You enjoy it. And so do I. You maybe a nearly 900-years-old. But I'm old enough to do this. And I enjoy it too."

As Twilight gave her sexy and beauty looks at him, Shadow Dragon smiled as he kissed her lips back.

"Okay. I admit it. It's quite a new hobby for me to do. Hopefully, you don't get pregnant." 

Twilight Sparkle snorted a bit before giving Shadow Dragon a soft slap, "Come on, don't tell me that Mystic General of Dragon Warriors is afraid of being father when we get married and wanted to have children."

"Very funny, Twiley. I've got no problem with it. Handling the babies is like handling the kids."

"Trust me. It's not the same. The babies can be very challenging than you think."

"Try me, pretty princess."

"Don't call me that, pretty boy..."

Twilight smirked as she moved close to Shadow Dragon. He then helped her up while making her very close to him. They held and hugged each other's shoulders tightly and passionately while showing their passionate love eyes.

Shadow Dragon sighed, "Glad we patch things up after..."

"Snake Fear? Yeah. I'm still getting use. And I'm not use with..." Twilight gave disgusted looks and sounds, "Cobras. Their fangs and poison - they're scary."

"Don't worry, Twiley. As long you don't provoke them, you should be fine. You've got nothing to worry about."

"I guess so. Shall we continue?"

"After you, my lady."

"As soon as we're done here, we have a meeting with others. It involved of my brother's visit."

"Great. Why I'm not surprised?"

"Was that sarcasm, I heard? I know you two don't get along but he's my brother."

"I know. I know. I just wish he give both of us some space. I mean how long he's keeping an eye on me?"

"I'm sure he'll let go of it. Just need to be patient. But for now, give me some sugar, Shadow Dragon."

"Oh. I will. And believe me. I'm not gonna stop until you say 'I love you'."

Twilight giggled happily as she make her move - kissing on his neck three times before moving on his chest. Shadow Dragon moaned happily for the moment. He then held her up. They both held and hugged together while pushing against each other's lower torso for ten times. She leaned her lips against his while he pushed back for the moment. And at the same time, they both moaned and grunted happily as they continued enjoying their chastity. Nothing can ruin them...

SCREAM! Both Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon stopped at once. They turned and looked at the familiar place from the distance.

"What in Equestria?" Twilight asked in concern.

Shadow Dragon sighed in annoyance, "I hate someone ruin our fun especially your brother."

"Come on. Don't be like that. He's just protective, even though I told him a thousand times that everything is fine." Twilight remarked. She then kissed his cheeks briefly. She turned and looked at the distance, "What's Pinkie up to?"





At Sugarcube Corner...

Pinkie giggled happily as she held both Pumpkin and Pound Cakes around and round for 100 times. She threw them up high before grabbed and hugged them passionately and happily. She squealed happily.

"This is the best news ever! I can't wait to tell Twilight!" Pinkie remarked happily.

"Oh, em, Pinkie, uh..." Mrs. Cake called as she approached Pinkie Pie. She whispered softly, "it's a top secret surprise."

Mrs. Cake took both of her children as she returned to the kitchen. Before she leave, she gave Pinkie Pie a prolonged shushing. Pumpkin and Pound Cakes mimicked their mother as well. They all slowly entered it.

"A top secret surprise?! That means I have to keep the exciting news..." Pinkie Pie asked fearfully yet nervously. She gulped "...to myself!"





At Ponyville's Main Street, Rarity who was bringing Fluttershy from her cottage as they chatted happily about Twilight's message. They were now heading straight to Castle of Friendship.

"Do you know why Twilight called us?" Rarity asked curiously.

"I have no idea," Fluttershy admitted. She then spotted Pinkie muttering to herself, "Is Pinkie alright? She seems to be off."

Rarity hummed, "Well, when you put it that way, something spook Pinkie off. It's time to learn of what's going on."

As Rarity and Fluttershy were approaching Pinkie Pie, they could hear her muttering fearfully. They wondered what spooked her.

Pinkie Pie muttered, "Even though I didn't technically make a Pinkie Promise to Mrs. Cake, I can't tell Twilight or anypony the big news! That would make me a... a... a big old surprise ruiner!"

"What's all this about surprise?" Rarity asked in concern.

Pinkie Pie yelped, "What? Who? What? Who said something about a surprise?!"

"You did, Ms. Pie, just now. What were you talking about?""

Pinkie Pie yelped as she took a pacifier out. She put it on her mouth as she sucked on it while running away from them. She was heading straight to Castle of Friendship.

"What in Equestria was that?" Rarity asked in concern, "Why is she behaving like that? And sucking a pacifier? What is she? A baby?"

Fluttershy shrugged, "I don't know. But hopefully, she tells us."





At Castle of Friendship's Council Chamber, Mane Six have been gathered. Shadow Dragon, Lance, Nyx and Spike were there as well. The meeting begins now...

"Great! Everypony's here." Twilight said happily. As Spike passed the scroll to her, she levitated it and continued, "Now I don't have to wait any longer to tell you all the wonderful news! Somepony special is coming to visit Ponyville, and I need your help getting everything ready!"

Everyone chatted happily while cheering in agreement to help Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle was about to speak but Pinkie Pie interrupted, "It's Shining Armor and Princess Cadance! And they're coming tomorrow on the Friendship Express rather than the Crystal Empire train so as not to cause too much of a scene when they skip town to come visit?"

"Yes..." Twilight Sparkle nodded in surprise.

Pinkie Pie squeed happily. Everyone was not only shock but also surprised and amazed by Pinkie Pie's sudden yet able to get the right information. No one could have.

"Annnnnd?"

Twilight Sparkle shrugged as she answered, "And that's it."

"Oh," Pinkie Pie awed in disappointment. Everyone looked at her as they wondered how she knew what Twilight Sparkle was saying. She laughed nervously, "Uh... Pinkie Sense?"

Shadow Dragon shook his head gently, "So, what can we do?"

"Yeah... You needed our help with something?" Rainbow Dash asked in amusement.

Twilight Sparkle smiled happily. Everyone wondered what was she thinking.





Twilight Sparkle led all of her friends into the room where it was filled with bookshelf, a trunk of comic books, bed, ant farm glass case, posters and more. Everyone were amazed by it.

Rainbow Dash gasped as she approached a poster of orange archaeologist unicorn, "Sweet posters! Is that Smash Fortune?"

"It sure is! When Shining Armor said he wanted to come to the castle and visit, I started collecting things he liked when he was a colt as a surprise!" Twilight Sparkle answered. She sighed happily, "I've been so excited that it's been hard to keep it to myself!"

"Me too! I can't wait to see Uncle Shiny again!" Nyx exclaimed happily.

Pinkie Pie muttered in concern, "I have no idea what that's like!"

Rainbow Dash hummed as she noticed it. Fluttershy looked at the ant farm glass case as she commented of how cute the ant farm is.

Spike picked the comic book up as he commented, "And check out all these old comic books!"

Lance gasped as he looked at it, "Hey! That's my favorite comic book! I've always like to read this one. It's awesome!"

Twilight Sparkle gasped, "Be careful! They're mint-in-bag!"

As soon as Twilight Sparkle left, Spike and Lance shrugged for the moment. Noticed dust on comic book within plastic, he blew it off. But instead, he gave the Dragon Flame on it. Both of them yelped in concern. Lance took another plastic case while Spike pour it in. They quickly put it back before headed off at once. They hated to see Shining Armor's bad side. 

Both Shadow Dragon and Nyx spotted a yellow doll dressed in his knight armor. Shadow Dragon picked it up.

"What's this?" Shadow Dragon asked.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "This is Brutus Force. Shining Armor used to carry him around like his baby!"

Pinkie Pie yelped in shock and worried. Fluttershy noticed it. Did something scared her off?

Nyx awed happily, "Just like Mr. Smarty Pants! That is so cute. Hey, daddy. Don't you have one doll?"

Shadow Dragon chuckled, "Nope. I play an action figure - Wartiger Slayer from Tokugawa of Japony. It's made of wood. I'd never thought Shining Armor would like to play a doll. I thought colts loved action figures."

"True but not all would like that," Twilight Sparkle answered happily.

"It is a bit juvenile for castle décor, but it is very sweet of you." Rarity commented.

Fluttershy nodded, "I'm sure Shining Armor will love it."

"Me, too." Twilight Sparkle smiled as she turned to the rest, "But there's a few more things I'd like to add before he gets here, and I could really use a hoof collecting them."

Applejack approached and patted Twilight Sparkle's back, "Whatever you need, sugarcube, we'll help you get it."

Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement about it, and even nervous and worried Pinkie Pie would agree to it.

"Thanks, everypony! I just can't wait 'til they walk in and see everything!" Twilight Sparkle commented.

Rainbow Dash smirked, "Totally understandable. Watching somepony else be surprised with something is almost better than being the one who's getting the surprise!"

Pinkie Pie yelped in concern, "But... eh... what if the surprise is something so incredibly exciting that a pony can't keep it in any longer, and she has to tell the pony standing next to her what it is or she might explode?!"

"I would say... no." Fluttershy answered.

Rarity approached to Pinkie Pie, "The pony who ruins a surprise for somepony else has to live with that guilt forever!"

Lance whistled, "Sounds like a big deal..."

"It is one. And believe me, it's not easy too," Nyx commented while nudging Lance's chest, "When my friends and I were planning to birthday party for Pipsqueak, Twist got pressured about it. So she accidentally told him about it. It was ruined. We all hated it being ruined after the work we have put on."

Spike nodded, "Yeah. Hate to see somepony to lose them if he ruined their surprise for their buddy. That would be haunted on his life forever..." 

Pinkie Pie screamed in fear, "Gotta bounce!"

Pinkie Pie jumped up high in knocking the ceiling. She bounced around the area hard like a pinball hitting the corners for points. She then slammed straight to wall hard. Everyone yelped in surprise of her reaction and ability while looking at a hole she created.

"What the heck was that?" Lance asked in surprise.

Spike hummed, "That's very unusual for Pinkie. She'd never do that, unless something freaked her out."

"But what did scare her off?" Nyx asked before sighed, "Pinkie Pie was acting weirder than usual..."

Everyone chatted in agreement about Pinkie Pie's behavior since morning. Shadow Dragon hummed calmly before giving a smirk like he has the idea.





At the Council Chamber, Laxtinct was eating his late breakfast - hayburger again. Shadow Dragon entered it as he explained to his muscle member of his team about the mission.

Laxtinct spitted the foods out, "So, you want me to spy on Pinkie? That's wrong..."

Shadow Dragon sighed, "No. Just check on her. She's behaving strange lately. And the only way to predict her movements and avoid her detect a spy, it's someone who has her ability. That would be you, Lax."

"Make sense..."

"Up to challenge?"

Laxtinct cracked his hooves as well as stretched his head. He smirked as he swallowed his hayburger up. He snorted happily while saluted.

"You can count on me, buddy. I won't let you down!"

"And don't forget about telling Pinkie about Twilight's request."





Pinkie Pie ran as fast as she can in returning to her home. She quickly closed the door at once. She panted heavily. She sighed in relief as she slowly leaning and sliding down.

"Phew, that was close! Too close. I almost spilled the beans. Beans that would be really hard to clean up! I obviously can't be around my friends right now. Or anypony for that matter!"

As Pinkie Pie approached the stairways while humming in thoughts, she gasped in surprise, "That's it! If Shining Armor and Cadance are coming tomorrow, then all I have to do is lock myself in my room away from everypony until they arrive! Then I won't ruin anything!"

As Pinkie Pie was about to walk up, Mr. Cake emerged from the kitchen. He spotted her.

Mr. Cake gasped, "Oh, good, you're back! Mrs. Cake needs my help, but these deliveries can't wait! I can't thank you enough for agreeing to be my backup delivery pony, Pinkie!"

"I... did?"






Flashback:


Three days ago after Cutie Mark Crusaders earned their Cutie Marks...

Mr. Cake was setting and putting the boxes and packages of sweetened foods into the cart. He then closed it. He hummed in concern.

"Maybe I should hire somepony to be my backup delivery pony."

"I'll do it!" Pinkie Pie called. Mr. Cake turned and found her stewing her chocolate cream inside the bowl. He looked surprise yet amazed. She nodded, "Sure! There's no possible way that I could ever have anything that might interfere with doing that task, like a gigantic, emotionally exhausting surprise that would make it super hard to be around other ponies."

"Great!" Mr. Cake commented before hummed in concern, "you're sure you won't change your mind?"

Pinkie Pie giggled as she made her Pinkie Promise gesture, "No way! Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"


Flashback Ends...






"Oh, yeah. I Pinkie Promised I'd do it." Pinkie Pie said in shock and surprise. She shook her head before showing her determined looks, "And I never break a Pinkie Promise! Never!"

Mr. Cake smiled in relief, "Well, thanks again! You're a real cake-saver!"

As soon as Mr. Cake returned to the kitchen, Pinkie had her mane deflated while sighed in defeat and upset.

Pinkie Pie hummed in thoughts, "Maybe it'll be a quiet day and I can just avoid everypony!"

As Pinkie opened the entrance's top in two, she yelped in shock and feared. She found the main street of Ponyville crowded. It's going to be difficult then she thought. She has no choice but to do it.

As Pinkie opened the whole door, she went out and prepared her cart's saddle on her back. She then headed off. Suddenly, the Sugarcube Corner's door moved and closed back. A familiar character emerged as he looked flattened literally.

"Maybe I should stay away from doorway..." Laxtinct commented. He sighed as he sucked and blew his hoof hard repeatedly like blowing a balloon literally. With him filled with air, he turned and looked at Pinkie Pie heading off. He smirked, "Agent L is on the mission!"

Laxtinct took his brown coat and hat out for disguise. He followed after Pinkie Pie, who was trotting across the town while carrying the cart. She also tried to hid from not only her friends but also ponies in avoiding telling them about Shining Armor and Princess Cadance's surprise. The last thing she want is being a Party Popper.

As Pinkie Pie continued trotting, three familiar ponies approached her from her behind.

"Hiya, Pinkie Pie!" Apple Bloom called, scaring Pinkie Pie.

Sweetie Belle asked, "Heard any good gossip today?"

Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah, we're bored. Please say you have some interesting news."

"Nope!" Pinkie smiled uneasily as she ran away from the area, making Cutie Mark Crusaders curious and surprise. As she continued trotting, she knocked on sompony else hard. As she recovered, she yelped in surprise, "Laxy, what a surprise! I mean, not a surprise!"

"Neither do I!" Laxtinct exclaimed in concern. He sweated nervously as he was thinking something to avoid her asking him of what he's doing. He gasped as he asked, "I just got message from Twilight. She wanted to ask you if you would bring some snacks to the castle for Shining Armor and Cadance's visit."

"Definitely! Got it! Pinkie Promise! Yeah! Heh." Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

Just before Pinkie could trot, Laxtinct added up.

"You should get some baby carrots!"

"What did you say?!"

"Baby carrots! They're Shining Armor's favorite." 

Pinkie Pie laughed nervously, "Mine too! Baby carrots are kinda like big carrots but smaller, kinda like how foals are tiny versions of their parents but smaller and cuter and— Bladestrike!"

Laxtinct screamed in fear as he turned and bowed down to the ground, "Please, have mercy! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to eat your favorite bun beans! I promised I won't do it again!" He stopped at once as he looked shock and realization, "Wait a minute... I didn't steal it since-!"

Laxtinct screamed in realization. He turned and found Pinkie disappeared from his sights.

"Aw, come on! Why does everyone keep scaring me off?!" Laxtinct sighed, "Well, I'd better find her now."

As Laxtinct walked away at once, Pinkie Pie emerged from the cornered area. She sighed in relief. She took her helmet out and put it on her helmet.

"Well, good thing that Lax is off my tracks. It's time to kick this operation into hyper-hoof and avoid all ponies by any means necessary!"

Pinkie Pie charged at once while carrying her cart across the town in delivering the packages to the specific customer's home and location for birthday party or delivery sweetened foods. But at the same time, she ignored her friends for her specific reason. It made them upset and concern about her. Laxtinct was looking across the town in search of her but found nothing or she avoided him swiftly from learning her reason.

As soon as she finished her delivery, Pinkie Pie was on her way to home but with not usual happy smile.

"It didn't feel good ignoring my friends like that..." Pinkie Pie said in shame, "Maybe I can tell just one little pony the surprise?"

"The pony who ruins a surprise for somepony else has to live with that guilt forever!"

"You're right, spooky-voice-of-Rarity-that-I-know-is-actually-my-own-imagination. I can't tell anypony at all!" Pinkie Pie sighed in shame, "Then they would tell Twilight, and she wouldn't be surprised, and it would be all my fault. I'd better get home now..."

As Pinkie Pie trotted, she didn't know someone had overhear her 'talking'. Laxtinct hummed calmly as he was talking.

"So, Pinkie Pie is keeping a secret about surprise? But what? And why? Is this why she's nervous? I'd better check on her."





"Finally, I'm all aloney on my owney."

Pinkie Pie has reached her home in time. As she was resting on her bed within her bedroom, she found Gummy snapping on the scroll playfully. It attracts her attention.

"What are you having, Gummy?" Pinkie Pie asked as she took the scroll out from her pet's mouth. She unrolled it and found something shocking and scary. She yelped, "Oh, no! It's the list that Twilight helped me make yesterday so I wouldn't forget all of my Pinkie Promises today! And I have three more things to do! Aw, four if you count bringing those snacks to Twilight's castle! I've been getting liberal with those Pinkie Promises lately..."





On the next day...

Pinkie Pie was at the Ponyville Schoolhouse as she was inflating the balloons while mixing and combining into different kind of animals for the foals to take.

"Ooh! I want a flamingo!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed happily.

Apple Bloom smiled, "I want a goldfish!"

Scootaloo scoffed, "Surprise me!"

Pinkie Pie smirked happily as she made some animal balloons for them. One flamingo for Sweetie Belle, a goldfish for Apple Bloom and now she's making one for Scootaloo. 

As Pinkie continued in making and combining the balloons into one, she heard crying. She turned and found a mother pushing a wheeled cradle of her baby. As Pinkie Pie stopped and got distracted, she stopped and finished it. 

Scootaloo gasped, "Is that a... baby bottle?"

Pinkie Pie turned and found a baby bottle balloon-made before her. She screamed in fear. Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other before at her as they never seen her freaked out before.

"Pinkie, are you alright? You don't look-"

"Next!" Pinkie Pie called before pushing a baby bottle balloon-made on Scootaloo's mouth.

Scootaloo took her baby balloon-made out as she and her friends leave now. Featherweight approached as he requested.

"Uh, a baby pony, please! Uh, unless of course that would be a royal pain..."

Pinkie Pie growled, "Interesting choice of words, Featherweight."

Featherweight gulped, "Uh, maybe you'd better just make me a giraffe."

Pinkie snorted as she made a giraffe balloon-made for Featherweight. Laxtinct hummed in concern as he wrote the notes down upon looking at the event.





At the Ponyville Hall, Pinkie Pie was helping Mayor Mare in setting and organizing the files into the lockers through her ninja moves.

"My, your friends weren't kidding when they said you had a great filing system, Pinkie! You are Ponyville's best kept secret!" Mayor Mare remarked.

Pinkie Pie yelped, "No, I'm not!"

"Speaking of secrets," Mayor Mare said while looked around as she approached while closed to Pinkie's ears, "have you ever known somepony else's secret?"

"Noooooo..."

"A surprise that was so big and exciting that it was all you could think about?"

Pinkie Pie yelped as she quickly ran off, "Nope!"

Mayor Mare sighed, "Me neither..."

From the ceiling, Laxtinct was hanging on the ropes. He saw everything while writing down the notes.





At Furniture Shop, Pinkie Pie was helping Furniture Salespony in setting the inflating mascot machine up and running.

Furniture Salespony laughed, "That's just what I wanted. Thanks, Pinkie!"

Pinkie Pie smiled, "You're welcome!"

"Oh, by the way," Furniture Pony smiled as he pointed at the slogan sign on window of his shop, "can you help spread the word about the big crib sale I'm having?"

Pinkie Pie approached and read, "Treat your foal like... royalty?!"

Furniture Salespony laughed happily, "Pretty good slogan, huh? I came up with it all by myself!"

Unable to stand it much longer, Pinkie Pie screamed frantically and wildly. She then ran off at once. Furniture Salespony was surprised by her reaction while rubbing his head. Laxtinct overheard it from behind of his tree.

"Wow... Did not expect that," Laxtinct commented while looking at his notes, "Why is he so worried about surprise? And why she freaked out when somepony mentioned something about babies? Is this gotta do something with Shining Armor?"

Laxtinct hummed in thinking for the moment. He shrugged, "I guess I'll continue with my spying."

Laxtinct followed Pinkie Pie at once...





At Castle of Friendship's Council Chamber, Twilight and her friends were cleaning the messes. Shadow Dragon was listening to Laxtinct's long story as he told his friend - short story.

"So, you have no idea?" Shadow Dragon asked.

Laxtinct shrugged, "Sorry. I'm trying my best. I don't know why Pinkie Pie freaked out when somepony mention about surprise or babies."

Shadow Dragon sighed, "Well, we'll find out soon. I suspect something special is bound to happen. We've got things to do. Come on."

Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct returned to the group in helping them clean the mess. Pinkie Pie had arrive with two plates of food. Twilight Sparkle spotted her. The Princess of Friendship approached the Party Planner.

"Those look yummy, Pinkie! Let me help you!" Twilight said happily as she levitated the plates to the table. She covered them with food dome, "But we better cover them up so they don't get spoiled."

"Why would they get spoiled? We're all gonna eat them super soon!" Pinkie asked.

Applejack smiled as she answered, "Oh, didn't anypony tell you? Shining Armor and Cadance are held up. They may not arrive 'til Saturday."

Pinkie was in shock as she shoot straight to the sky literally, "Whaaaaaaaaaat?! 

Everyone was in shock and alerted by her shouts. They spotted her breathing heavily like she had a marathon to run through.

"You mean... I have... to wait... another whole day?!" Pinkie asked in shock, "I don't know if I can!"

Twilight Sparkle hummed in concern, "Pinkie Pie, do you have something you need to say? You seem like you've been keeping something in."

Pinkie Pie inarticulately yelled as she was about to answer. She closed her mouth at once as she can't tell the answer.

"[Fluttershy] We're here to listen. [Applejack] Well, go on then, sugarcube. [Rarity] We're not going to judge you, darling. [Lance Justicestrike] Just chill, Pinkie. You don't have to be afraid of us. [Nyx] Yeah. We just want to help you with anyway we can. [Shadow Dragon] Pinkie, just tell us already. [Laxtinct] Yeah. Stop keeping us suspend. [Spike] You'll feel so much better once you get it off your chest!"

Pinkie Pie ignored as she blew the balloon up and down for few times in getting herself better. Rainbow Dash flew and approached her.

Rainbow Dash smiled, "Come on. Whatever it is, you can tell us! We're best friends! Tell." 

With everyone's voices entered her head to 'tell' them, Pinkie became more scared, worried and freaking out. She can't keep this out much longer. She has to!

"Okay, okay, you win!" Pinkie exclaimed. She then inhaled as she shouted, "Shining Armor and Cadance are gonna have a—"

"An awesome weekend with the best little sister in all of Equestria!" The familiar voice answered.

Everyone turned and gasped in surprise. They found Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Night Light and Twilight Velvet standing in front of the entrance, along with their luggage and bags. The family smiled happily. Pinkie Pie exhaled in relief as she fell down to the ground hard. That was a relief...

"They're here! Grandma! Grandpa!" Nyx cheered happily as she trotted towards them both. She hugged them passionately, "It's so good to see you here!"

Night Light chuckled as he and his wife hugged Nyx back, "So do we, Nyxie."

"Shining Armor, Cadance, Mom, Dad! You're early!" Twilight exclaimed happily as she trotted towards her family, "I thought something had come up and you weren't gonna make it until Saturday!"

"So did we." Princess Cadance admitted, "Turned out we weren't needed in Maretonia until next week. And the summit we were supposed to attend today had to be rescheduled, so... we got here even sooner than planned!"

Night Light smiled, "And of course, our beloved daughter-in-law requested us to be here for important matters as well."

"Surprise!" Shining Armor exclaimed as he held his sister over her shoulder. He then glared at Shadow Dragon while the latter glared back at him. He scoffed, "Nice to see you, Dragon Boy."

"The feeling is mutual, Shiny Boy..." Shadow Dragon remarked in annoyance

"I hope you're not trying to hurt my sister again, pal"

"I would never to do that."

"If she is, I'm gonna hurt you a lot. Trust me, you'd better watch it."

"Shining Armor! Be nice," Twilight Velvet said while nudged on her son's chest. She smiled, "It's wonderful to see you all again!"

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "I'm so glad you're here! I have a big surprise for you!"

"Oh, yeah?" Shining Armor asked in amusement. 

As he turned to others, he found Pinkie Pie shivering and quivering nervously and fearfully. Shining Armor smiled in amusement as he suspected she knew about his surprise. Both Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct noticed it.

As everyone left the council chamber, Shining Armor and Pinkie Pie were left behind before they could chat quietly. Both Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct quickly hid behind the entrance's sides in listening their conversation.

"Lucky we came when we did, huh?" Shining Armor asked in amusement.  "I'm guessing you saw the scroll we sent to Mr. and Mrs. Cake?" 

Pinkie Pie nodded for admitting it. 

"Hey, I'm impressed you've been able to keep our secret this long!"

Pinkie Pie gasped, "So you're gonna tell Twilight now?!"

Shining Armor yelped as he quickly put his hoof on her mouth from talking. He looked around in making sure no one can overhear his conversation especially Shadow Dragon - the only pony he refused to trust. He sighed in relief.

"You're gonna have to wait just a little bit longer. We have something special planned. It'll be worth it, I promise." Shining Armor gave a wink to Pinkie. 

Pinkie Pie scoffed, "It'd better be."

Having enough to hear, Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct quickly walked away at once before they have been spotted by Shining Armor and Pinkie Pie.

Shadow Dragon hummed, "I think I know what's going on. It's finally coming together now."

"Like knowing why Shining Armor and Pinkie being secretive about party?" Laxtinct asked in amusement. Shadow Dragon gave a smirk to him. He thought carefully of what the events had occurred. He gasped surprisingly, "No way! Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are gonna have-!"

Shadow Dragon held Laxtinct's mouth while shushed quietly, "Quiet! You wanna get us in trouble? Shining Armor will kill us for this."

"Sorry..."

"All we can do is wait until the surprise. And above all, don't tell Twilight or her friends about this. The last thing I want is that crazy brother of hers to chase after me again."

Laxtinct chuckled uneasily, "Got it..."





As soon as Twilight's family had settled down in Castle of Friendship, they all headed off at once. Twilight and her friends followed from behind. Pinkie Pie tried her best to be quiet while Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct remained calm and steady.

"So, do you think Shining Armor liked his surprise?" Applejack asked in amusement.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Didn't you see him? He couldn't stop raving about it!"

Everyone recalled Shining Armor's reaction to his new room at Twilight's Castle of Friendship. He was so happy and excited in seeing all of his stuffs including tapping ant farm glass case and nuzzling his doll - Brutus Force. And for his comic book in mint bag, he was in shock yet anger as he nearly picked a fight with Shadow Dragon if it not for his family stopping him. Nevertheless, Shining Armor hugged and spun Twilight Sparkle around for few times.

"Make me wonder who burn Shining Armor's comic book..." Shadow Dragon asked angrily.

Both Spike and Lance yelped as they whistled uneasily while Nyx sighed in annoyance.

Rainbow Dash groaned, "Where did Shining Armor and Cadance say they'd meet us? [stomach rumbling] I'm starving!"

"In the town square. I wish they'd waited to walk over with us, but they said they had something to take care of first!" Twilight Sparkle shrugged. As Twilight and her friends arrived at the fountain area, they found no one here. She hummed, "That's odd. Usually they're quite punctual."

Rainbow Dash groaned in annoyance as she flew close to the fountain statue as she gave it a few knocks in frustration.

"I need a hayburger in my belly right now!"

"What's this?" Twilight Sparkle asked upon looking at a small scroll on statue's mouth. She levitated it down to read. She gasped in surprise, "A scavenger hunt! Shining Armor used to set these up for me when I was a filly! At the end, there was always a big prize, like a new book, or several new books, or—"

Pinkie Pie interrupted in frustration, "We get the picture! You like books!"

"So what's the first clue?" Applejack asked. 

"I hope it's something about eating lunch!" Rainbow Dash remarked in annoyance.

"Someone's being impatient..." Shadow Dragon remarked as he took a scroll. He read it out loud, "You've got a scroll, you're on a roll, why don't you take a peek where young ones spend their week? A piece of paper will continue this caper. Interesting..."

Everyone hummed in thinking of what is the answer of first clue.

Twilight Sparkle and Nyx gasped, "I've got it!"





"Ponyville Schoolhouse!"

Twilight Sparkle and her friends have arrived at Ponyville Schoolhouse. They solved the first clue.

" Good enough for me! Now where's the next clue?" Pinkie exclimaed happily as she headed off at once.

Pinkie panted heavily like a dog as she sniffed across the area in search for clue. Twilight and her friends were about to move until...

Featherweight called while holding the papers, "Extra, extra! Get your Ponyville news! Read it in the paper! Extra, extra!"

"A piece of paper will continue this caper." Twilight said calmly before gasped, "It's in the Foal Free Press!"

Nyx approached and bought the Foal Free Press. She passed it to her mother. She and others looked through newspaper in finding the next clue. Laxtinct pointed at yellow notes. Pinkie returned to her friends as she tapping her hooves excitedly on the ground for few times.

Twilight Sparkle read the note, "Though this hall is rather small, in it you'll find files of all kinds. Take a look on the back of the birth certificate of Applejack."

Everyone looked at Applejack who blushed and looked in nervous.

Applejack gulped, "I don't like where this is goin'."





Arriving at Ponyville Town Hall, Mayor Mare was waiting at the entrance. She led Twilight Sparkle and her friends in while guiding them to birth certificate information hall. During their travelling, Mayor Mare is also excited and was about to tell but stopped by Pinkie Pie.

Upon arriving at the area, Twilight and her friends looked and searched for Applejack's birth certificate. 

Pinkie Pie found it from locker's lowered part. She then passed it to Twilight Sparkle and her friends. They all looked at the picture of Applejack in her baby. They all commented and remarked of how cute she really is.

Nyx giggled, "Wow... If Applejack is cute, I wonder how I look when I was a baby."

"Ah, Nyx. You don't have that, remember? You were created." Spike reminded. Nyx turned and glared at Spike. He yelped, "But then again, you're still cute and cuddly as the baby. I wonder what Lance looked like when he was a baby."

Lance groaned, "Don't even try..."

Embarrassed by it, Applejack flipped it to the back. Twilight Sparkle smiled and read, "This next place is where you can buy a table or chair, or some comfy beds to rest little heads?"

As Pinkie Pie was about to headed off, she found Twilight and her friends were thinking of the answers.

"Ugh, really? None of you?"





Pinkie Pie groaned, "It's obviously the furniture store!"

Pinkie Pie pushed Twilight and all of her friends literally to the furniture store. She bounced happily and nervously in getting them in.

"I don't know..." Laxtinct said in concern.

Pinkie Pie groaned angrily as she entered it. She rammed through almost all of furniture in finding and getting the clue. She emerged with the royal golden baby crib.

"Wow, you're scary good at this, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash remarked.

Lance nodded, "Not want to go on her bad side..."

Shadow Dragon read the note, "It seems we've saved the best for last. We hope that you have had a blast. Now it's time to take a break where you can get a slice of cake!"

Everyone sans Pinkie Pie cheered, "Sugarcube Corner!"

Pinkie Pie scoffed, "That was an easy one."





Twilight and all of her friends have arrived at Sugarcube Corner. They entered it where they found Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Night Light and Twilight Velvet stood before them. Not only that, the area is filled with party equipment and food. 

"Surprise!" Shining Armor exclaimed as he approached Twilight Sparkle, "Twily, did you like the scavenger hunt?"

"It was perfect! Just like old times, except even better because this time I got to share it with my best friends!" Twilight Sparkle said happily. Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement. She turned to her brother as she asked, "There's just one thing missing, isn't there?"

"What's that?"

"Mmmm, the book prize at the end!"

Shining Armor laughed happily, "There's still a prize, but it's a little different this time."

"Oh. I don't understand." Twilight Sparkle said in concern.

Pinkie Pie giggled happily yet quietly, making everyone but Shadow Dragon and Laxtinct surprise and concern of her.

Princess Cadance smiled, "All the places we sent you today had something in common."

Night Light nodded, "She's right, Twilight. And your're gonna love this one."

"It's more worth than just book. It's something else..." Twilight Velvet added.

Twilight Sparkle hummed in concern as she began thinking of what her family was talking about. She recalled four important stuffs from the scavenger hunt - school, foal, birth certificate and crib. As she was thinking, Pinkie Pie made some funny faces in getting impatient, frustration and excited about her friend getting the answer before she exploded.

Twilight's friends also joined in the thinking as well. Shadow Dragon remained calm while Laxtinct tapped his hooves a few times impatiently and frustratingly.

"Damn it! Will you get the answer now?!" Laxctint exclaimed in annoyance, "Pinkie can't hold it anymore!"

Twilight Sparkle gasped in realization, "Can it be? Are you two...?!

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor smiled as they moved away and revealed a top cake with baby crib. Night Light held the camera as he snapped on the picture while Twilight Velvet clapped her hoof happily.

"We're having a baby!"

Pinkie Pie cheered happily, "A baby, Twilight! It's a baby! Woo-hoo!"

"You mean... I'm going to be an aunt?!" Twilight Sparkle was stunned and surprised. Twilight's family smiled happily. She flapped her wings while exclaimed happily, "This is the best prize ever!

Nyx squealed happily, "I'm gonna be cousin! We're all gonna be!"

"Unbelievable..." Lance remarked in surprise, "If my mom was here, she would have freaked out."

"I know," Night Light smiled while forming his tears, "I'm going to become a grandfather. Well for my son's baby, of course. But you already my granddaughter and so-!"

Twilight Velvet shut Night Light's mouth, "We get it, dear. The children get it. And they excited too."

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor laughed happily. Twilight Sparkle jumped and hugged both of them, "Oh, I love you guys! And I can't wait to meet your little foal!"

Shining Armor smiled happily, "Neither can we."

Everyone cheered and chatted happily as they came and gathered around.

" I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it!" Pinkie Pie cheered happily before she fell to the ground hard. She moaned, "Go, Pinkie."

Everyone continued chatting and talking with each other. Princess Cadance approached Lance Justicestrike who was talking with Nyx and Spike.

"Princess Cadance? Is there anything we can do?" Lance asked in surprise.

Princess Cadance smiled, "I actually I have one. When we're done, would you accompany me to your mother's graves? I would like to let her know about it."

Lance, Nyx and Spike looked surprise and shock. They then smiled.

Lance bowed, "I would be honored. So as my mom."

"This is the best day ever!" Nyx cheered while hugging Spike, "I love this family!"

Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon have their own chats.

"You actually knew it, didn't you?" Twilight asked in amusement.

Shadow Dragon winked, "You bet. I sent Laxtinct to find and learn why Pinkie Pie behave crazy and weird. But we know the truth. So, I keep quiet till the end. I didn't want to ruin Shining Armor's surprise."

"Scared of him?"

"A bit."

"Can I ask you?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Shadow Dragon nodded. She continued, "When or if we do get married, can we have some children? I know it's too much. But spending time with Spike, Nyx and Lance especially hearing Shining Armor and Cadance having the baby, it makes me thinking about it. I would like to have one or two."

"Twilight..." Shadow Dragon said in surprise. He smiled a bit, "If that is what you want, I'm honored. I'll try my best to be a good father."

"You already are, Dragon Hope. We'll be a great family." Twilight Sparkle smiled. She the nuzzled Shadow Dragon's chin, "When we get back, we'll continue our usual."

Shadow Dragon smiled in amusement. As both Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon leaned while kissing each other's lips passionately, a shadow loomed over them. They stopped and turned as they found Shining Armor standing before them. And boy...

"What do you think you're doing? What is this 'usual'?" Shining Armor demanded in annoyance. Twilight Sparkle giggled happily while Shadow Dragon chuckled uneasily. He growled in anger before burst into flames - Rage Mode, "You did not just do that with my sister! I'm gonna kill you!"

Shadow Dragon yelped in shock and fear as he quickly trotted off at once. Shining Armor chased after him around and around the Sugarcube Corner's customer area. Everyone laughed in amusement and happily to see it.

"I really like this the most. Overprotective guys care for the little ones. Classic..." Laxtinct smiled. He turned and found Pinkie was breathing calmly for relax. He approached and gave the piece of cake for her. He commented, "You did it, Pinkie Pie! You kept it a surprise! Nice work!"

"You knew it?" Pinkie asked in amusement. Laxtinct nodded. She asked, "Why didn't you tell others about it?"

"Then, it wouldn't be surprise in the first place, isn't it?"

"Hmm... Make sense. Thanks for keeping secrets. Otherwise, I'd never forgive myself for this big mess."

"No biggie." Laxtinct smiled, "That's all folks!"

Pinkie squeaked happily, "Eeyup! See you on next episode! And it's not easy to keep surprises too!"
