As the Chariot came to land, Sweetie’s package was quickly spotted. Stepping off, Sweetie carefully pried the baby off her, wincing as he began to cry. Sighing, she placed him back on her back, watching as he became quiet once more. Sweetie supposed she would have to give him a name sometime.
“Long story short, I now have a baby dragon,” she spoke, giving a weary look to Twilight. Walking over, Celestia seemed to run some magic over the baby, before nodding and pulling out a piece of paper.
“I’ll order the guards to place some items you’ll need to raise him on the next train, unless you want us to care for him until he is of age?” Pausing in her writing, Celestia raised an eyebrow, waiting for Sweetie to respond. Sighing, she looked to the baby, and knew she wasn’t ready to take care of a child. If she didn’t have Rarity, Sweetie would have taken Celestia’s offer.
“I’ll raise him. Rarity raised me well, and she’ll be with me if I run into any problems. I don’t think I’m ready for it, but I know giving him to you would disappoint Thorak.” Whom, Sweetie bitterly thought, has a lot of explaining to do when he woke. Finishing the letter, Celestia sent it off, and bowed her head.
“They will arrive first thing tomorrow, and we shall be leaving late tonight. For now, I suggest finding him a small gem to suckle on. It should keep him sated for now at least.” Finished speaking, Celestia watched as Sweetie pulled out some perfect sized gems. Placing one near the mouth of the dragon, Sweetie blinked as he pounced on it, suckling as he curled into a ball.
“Okay, now uh Theodore? No….Thanos? No, not that… Now that this baby Dragon is taken care of, can we talk? Just us three?” Sweetie sent Twilight a apologetic look, and Twilight shook her head in response, bowing as she turned away. Following the two into Twilight’s castle, they all took a seat.
“Well,” she began. “I want to ask your permission to try lifting the sun and moon. See, in the time Loops I always had a pretty good idea of my limits because I had to be constantly using my magic. But out here I don’t have that. So I want to try something that, well…” Trailing off, Sweetie looked to her hooves, swishing her tail on reflex. A Chicken spawned, flying out the window. Celestia watched this, and then cleared her throat.
“Say no more Sweetie Belle. We will make the exception for you.” Both Celestia and Luna had heard the details from Twilight, and knew that this wasn’t some filly any more. In addition, Sweetie Belle had a baby dragon to take care of. Knowing her limits would be very...wise. Horns glowing, the nodded to Sweetie, who breathed in.
Sending her magic out, Sweetie felt it easily grip the moon. After moving it around for a bit, she also picked up the sun. Canceling the spell, she sighed, rubbing her temple. It seemed so easy...Levitated up, Sweetie blinked as Luna brought her into a hug. Celestia blinked, but did not join in.
“I’m fine.” Smiling, Sweetie untangled herself from Luna. Looking between them, Sweetie watched both share a glance, and her mood soured instantly.
“You’re thinking about vacation, aren’t you.” Shocked that Sweetie had guessed correctly, they both had trouble recovering. Approaching, Celestia put a hoof on Sweetie’s shoulder.
“Yes, but you need to understand, we were not expecting you to do anything. I am sorry, it was selfish of us to think such thoughts, but we did.” Glancing back toward Luna, Celestia’s sister gave a nod. Sighing, Sweetie pushed the hoof off her shoulder, turning around to take a seat once more.
“I know,” was her response. Silence followed, and the two sisters shared a look. Giving a bow, they spoke together.
“If there is nothing else, we must begin the journey home.” Both turned, beginning to leave. Watching them, Sweetie waited until the door had closed before letting her annoyance manifest. Celestia and Luna were... It made her blood boil. The worst part in her mind? Of course she’d do it. Growling, she stood up, beginning to walk home.
“SURPRISE!” Walking in, Sweetie was assaulted with confetti. Chuckling, she cleared her eyes and saw the bright smiling faces of everyone she knew. Even Ditzy and Dinky were there. Glancing to the baby on her back, Sweetie noticed he hadn’t even moved an inch.
’Thashen. A combination of Thorak and ash, as you are gray in color. I think it’s perfect, don’t you?’ Looking at the baby, she noticed it curl slightly tighter into the ball. Taking that as a yes, Sweetie entered her home, letting go of her worries so she could enjoy it.
As always, Pinkie Pie had perfect timing.
Were what? I can't make heads or tails of this part of that paragraph.
Whoo, first person to fill out the second questionnaire! x3
"Thashen"
Totally metal name if ever I've heard one. Nice to know that Sweetie hung on to near godlike power too. That could be an important thing.
Yep. I'm so ordering a copy.
And I'm British, just so you know.
6236342 I'll edit the , to a ...
WAIT, WHAT????
I'm liking the price but the story needs some polishing, a little more detail, maybe her internal thoughts and such and spell checks and making it the best it can be, then I'd be happy to have it on m shelf
When will this book be available? I'm sorta hoping I can get it on my birthday, but if I have to wait 'til Christmas, then I guess it's okay.
Welp.. Thashen sounds exactly like a word people use in my region to describe a cheap plastic bag (Silesia) :V
Wait...so Sweetie can still control the celestial bodies?
6236667 Well now she's a bad ass even outside the loop.
I was kind of hoping you would name the dragon Star or something. Oh well.
Nice update!
" “Okay, now uh Theodore? No….Thanos? No, not that… Now that this baby Dragon is taken care of, can we talk? Just us three?” "
Little did you know, Thanos was raised as a baby dragon by a pastel colored unicorn filly, and then shed his mortal form to become a God!
"Sweetie sent Twilight a apologetic look, and Twilight shook her head in response, bowing as she turned away."
Okay this cane directly after the previous quote, and it makes no sense to me. So Sweetie walks up to Twi with a baby dwagon on her back, looks at her apologetically (which I'm seeing as a sad look), then Twilight's reaction is shaking her head, bowing, and then turning a different direction. Can someone please explain?
Thashen? Cool name Sweetie
With my creativity I would probably name him Silver or Blaze

THIS IS NOW MY MARVEL UNIVERSE HEADCANON
6241446 But... Isn't Thanos a Greek god?

Continuing on the same tangent as Spike. What about Rufus?
"Pony-momma, why did you name me Thashen?"
"It's a combination of your father's name Thorak and ash, dear, as you are gray in color. I think it’s perfect, don’t you?"
"What's ash, momma?"
"DEAD PONY DUST"

I'm sure you know who Thanos is now...
I joked earlier how similar trying to get the princesses to loop was a lot like the end of Infinity War, but now you bring Thanos into it by name?
