Twilight's not so little problem-Part 1

Twilight's not so little problem

Part 1

In the middle of the night, there was a single home in the entirety of Ponyville that had its lights up. It certainly was an odd sight, since the tree house that was home to the librarian of the town usually had all of its light off by midnight.

Of course, no one really knew what was going on inside the old tree, except for the owner of it. And as of now, she wasn't really interested on what others would be thinking of her home.

In front of her bed, Twilight's tired eyes were looking at the two crying babies in front of her, their cries being contained inside the house thanks to a handy spell she found, otherwise she would have a lot of annoyed neighbors in her door at that very moment.

Sighing, the purple mare tried to think of another think to calm both infants. However, nothing came to her head, since she had pretty much tried everything she knew or could find in a book. She tried to give them milk, to sing to them, to change their diapers, to feed them, to play with them, and a whole array of things. But nothing did really work, and as the minutes passed and the moon on the sky moved more and more, she could feel the fatigue slowly taking over her body.

To be honest, taking care of babies wasn't as easy as she had thought at first.

I was really dumb, wasn't I?

Her gaze moved slowly to the ticking clock in the wall, and the unicorn felt her shoulders fall in resignation; in the end it seemed like she would have to call either Pinkie or Fluttershy after all. And that was one thing she didn't want, to bother her friends, and show that she wasn't ready to take such undertaking.

It wasn't a matter of pride, it was that she felt the need to take care of things herself rather than let others do it. She didn't know why, but it was like that.

Whatever was that affected my mind; I hope it won't last at all...

It was the third day on her new role of caretaker, and by far the worst. The other two days she had already encountered some problems, but she kind of went through them with some difficulty. This, however, wasn't something she could force herself through.

It was obvious the babies needed something, but she just didn't know what.

Sighing again, the mare approached sasuke, and with a soft tug, she moved Sasuke's arms to the side, and leaned on his belly, resting her head near his chest. Her big eyes were looking at him, his soft whimpers practically scratching her heart.

"What is happening to you, Sas?" Her sweet voice seemed to finally have some kind of effect on him with her being so close now.

He of course didn't answer her, but she still kept staring at him. For a while, she was silent, her hears catching the sound of both babies' cries. Her eyes were admiring the creature in front of her, but not with any kind of academic purpose, but rather a genuine appreciation.

Looking at his chubby face she noticed how his featurettes however infantile they might be, had some kind of exotic beauty to them. It wasn't the beauty of a cute newborn only, but she recognized some kind of design on his face. The way his eyes were located in relation to his nose or how his little mouth fit in his face in a perfect way.

Letting some air escape her nostrils, she then moved her gaze to his black hair, and how his bangs covered the side of his head and face. As her attention moved back to his face, and consequently to his cries, she couldn't help but coo at him, and with just that, one of her hooves moved upward, slowly caressing his little face.

"Don't you worry, Sasuke. I'll be here for you. I can't know for sure what is happening to you, but I won't leave you..." Her hoof moved to his forehead "I promise" And then she poked him there.

And just like that, he stopped crying. Not completely at once, but his whimpers slowly lowered until they simply vanished.

She looked dumbfounded at him, his black eyes locked on hers, and he kept staring at the mare for a few moments, before blinking a few times, and then his eyes closed, completely ignoring his crying companion.

The unicorn just sighed at the black haired baby, and then her gaze moved onto the blond one.

Surprisingly enough, Naruto wasn't the louder of the two.

Moving ever so slowly in the bed, she approached the whiskered baby and nudged his belly with her snout. His cries stopped for a few moments, before coming back a little louder.

Unlike with Sasuke, she decided to get comfortable herself first, and once that was done, she used her magic to move Naruto right next to her belly. His head was resting on her left foreleg, and for the first time in a while his cries lowered a bit.

She nudged his head softly with her muzzle, humming an old song to him. The blond baby seemed to want as much of her warm as he could get, his little claws were hugging her with some strength.

Cuddling with him, she felt how the baby tried to suck her mane, and she could only chuckle at that.

Putting her chin on the baby's head, she talked to him. About everything, her friends, her books, her family. But the things that seemed to grasp his attention the most were the bonds she had make with everypony she had meet. Talking about the way she related to her friends seemed to calm him, and so she kept talking.

After a while, she felt the little baby finally asleep, and with a flick of her magic, she brought Sasuke right beside his brother.

Looking back at the other side of the room, the mare raised a brow. Spike was still deep in sleep, as if he hadn't heard anything about the babies.

Wow, she thought. He sure likes to sleep. I can't fault him though; he has been taking care of them as much as me. He deserves it...

As do I.

With a smile on her face, the mare slowly let herself be grabbed by the dreams, and just like that she went to Luna's dominion.


Two weeks later, Canterlot

Royal chambers

"You should calm yourself, sister" Celestia's calm voice boomed through the place.

Luna's pacing through the room only got quicker, with black mare frowning deeply. Thankfully, after a few moments to collect herself, the Alicorn let out a sigh and looked at her sister.

"You know I can't Celestia. I haven't been able to find any kind of trace to the source of this madness. For two weeks more than a hundred of scouts had been looking for any clue through all of the northern zone of Equestria, and yet there's nothing the unicorns can do to find the origin of this problem..." She closed her eyes for a few moments, and then she continued "Everypony is starting to feel the changes, Tia. Multiple reports about groups of Pegasi and earth ponies asking unicorns if they feel anything different in the surroundings..."

Celestia could only nod at that. And it was true, entire portions of the population started to notice something was off, the Pegasi could feel that the air was different when carrying out their duties, and the same could be said about the earth ponies, all of which were worried about the very land feeling strange. Thankfully, mass panic had no ensued yet, but they needed to find a solution, and fast.

The changes, however little they may seem, were already showing. Some trees started to grow way faster than before and strong too. So strong in fact, that a few earth ponies had reported having problems cutting them down, which was a real oddity. The water felt different too, she had to admit. Not in a bad way, since apparently a lot of ponies were reporting feeling inexplicably exuberant and with a lot of energy.

We don't know if it'd have some kind of lasting consequence though...

But the most important thing to come with the recent global event was one that really bothered both Luna and herself.

"Have you been able to...?” She didn't finish the sentence; the sour look on her sister's face was enough to stop the sun ruler.

Huffing, Luna just shook her head.

"No, I'm still having problems trying to find any of these new creatures that seem to appear whenever we are not looking for them..." Luna clicked her tongue "Whatever they are, it's obvious that they are related with this event, be it by being a byproduct of it, or the ones who caused it. Either way, I'd like to meet at least one; if only they didn't run each time my troops and I are close. It's not like I'm planning on killing them..." She just mumbled the last part, to which Celestia just smiled.

"I'm not really surprised, didn't you go around screaming that you were going to trap them at the first chance you had? ’Thou dare to hide from me?! I, Princess Luna, shalt find and bring thee all with me!' That sure does not sound alluring at all" The white mare laughed, while her sister's face changed to a deep red while her ears pressed against her head.

"T-that's not the point! I just want to talk to them, to know if they have anything to do with this less than desirable situation we all are in. *cough* Thankfully, some of the ponies that have interacted with them were able to give us some interesting bits of information regarding their behavior and their appearances..."

Using her magic to levitate a folder that was laying in the nearest table, Luna opened it and showed her sister its contents.

Celestia raised a brow. The pictures her sister was showing her were certainly interesting. In them there were illustrations of completely unknown creatures. There were a total of three pictures, highly detailed drawings that were probably made with all of the details they had received over the past week.

The first one showed a massive creature, by pony standards that towered over the pony in the picture to show the scale. It was physically similar to a bear, but his head seemed to be more akin to that of a dog, though its jaw was certainly something else. Its sandy fur was covered with some strange markings that travelled through the entire body. But what was probably its most striking featurette was its massive tail that seemed to be at least twice the size of its torso.

Reading the text at the bottom of the picture, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Highly friendly, although caution is recommended, as the creature seems to like to smash the structures around it randomly. As of now, it has showed strength comparable to that of a healthy earth pony, but upper limits are unknown. Recent encounters indicate that it is a highly sociable creature, if a little bit violent..."

Celestia read a little more of the description about the being, letting out a few laughs at some of the encounters and their outcomes. In one of them, the creature stole the contents of a jewel store, specifically all of the necklaces and rings made of gold, only to latter throw them back to the store...with enough force to break through the walls, though surprisingly enough the items weren't damaged.

Nodding to herself, the white mare picked other illustration. In this one there was a creature akin to a pony, but its size was more in line with Celestia herself. Of course, there were glaring differences with a normal pony or even herself. To begin with, its head wasn't that of a equine. Looking at the reference pictures at the side, the being seemed like a mix between a pony and a dolphin,

On its back there were two tails, both of which were at least as long as the torso of the creature. On its head there were a total of four horns protruding out of the skull. Going by the reports, this one creature seemed to be operating on the coast, and most of the sighting of it described the creature as friendly, if not a bit more reserved than the sand beast. The majority of the ponies that saw it seemed to think that the pony-like being was looking for something, always following some kind of pattern that was completely unknown to all ponies.

"As of now, the being called Dolphny-" she let out a laugh at that, while Luna scoffed at her "-is reportedly amicable to contact with ponies, however most of the time the creature prefers to run away to the coast and submerge itself in the water. Only one incident reported..."

Celestia eyes got big at what she was reading.

"...during an storm caused by unknown forces that no Pegasi could stop, the 'Dolphny' used some kind of magic to stop a tidal wave big enough to drown a good part of Las Pegasu-...H-how did no one told me about this?!" Celestia's neck almost did a cracking sound when she looked up at her sister.

"I didn't know either sister, but by the looks of it, this event happened only two days ago. And the notary needed some time to collect herself and prepare this report. By the looks of it, she didn't want to let anything important out."

The white Alicorn let out a tired sigh, and looked down at the papers floating with her magic.

"Do we know how this creature did such an undertaking? That accomplishment was nothing short of massive. If what says here is true, that wave was, at least, 300 feet tall. To block such a thing you would need a team of highly specialized unicorns, and maybe a second team only to make sure that the city doesn’t feel the impact of such thing."

Shaking her head, Luna walked toward her sister, taking a sit in her own throne.

"No, we don't. The few ponies that were there to witness it, said that the creature was glowing, and that for a moment, it grew as big as a house, and it suddenly used its tails to lash out at the sea. And just like that, not only the wave was pushed back, but the sky cleared too..."

Luna's gaze went up to the ceiling, resting there for a few seconds while her sister was absorbing the news.

"It's a worrying situation, this in which we find ourselves, sister. The pegasi weren't able to stop neither the storm nor the raging sea. In their own words, it felt as if the storm was alive, and it just wouldn't obey them. Every time they got near, the winds pushed them back, and they eventually had to get back, or they would have been injured. The effects of the energy are starting to show, and if this continues, who knows how violent it will get?"

The black mare's voice was filled with worry, and her sister could only look at her.

"You don't want to...you don't want this, your new life, to disappear, am I right?" At Celestia's words, Luna's ears twitched and fell against her head, while she nodded "I understand it, sister. You have finally found your place, and this new development is threatening that. But most importantly, you don't want our little ponies to be in harm's way"

"Yes. I'd hate for them to be harmed. Now that my mind has been clear for months, I see what I couldn't before. I appreciate the gift of the night, because I know understand the importance of it. Your student and her friends, they showed me, they showed me how it feels to be accepted..."

"Oh, yes. Twilight and her little band of mares have that ability. To show you completely new things, to teach you about yourself. They are good young mares. One day, they will show the entire world their power, not that of magic, but of friendship..." Celestia closed her eyes, a little smile on her face as she thought about her student.

"And how's she doing? I haven't been able to go to her dreams for a while, and the other day I hear you complaining about the lack of...how did you say? 'Friendship reports'? Really, Tia?" Luna's smirk only grew bigger as her sister's face got to a scarlet tone.

"Well, so just you know, she sent me a report three days ago. Apparently, she has been...hmn, busy. We are not the only ones who have suddenly found ourselves with a lot in our hooves. After the incident two weeks ago, Twilight says that she found a pair of babies in her house" Luna only rose a brow “With the descriptions she has given me, they don't really sound like anything I have ever heard of. Other than slightly resemble apes, they seem to be a completely new species. As per Twilight's description, they are, and I quote "The cutest thing you will ever see, Princess". And well, she seems to have taken a liking to them, if they way she talks about these babies is any indication..."

Luna only nodded, and before talking again, she squint her eyes.

"Don't you think that it is a little suspicious that those babies appeared to Twilight right after the event? Something is a little suspicious here, sister" At that, Celestia could only agree.

"I think as you, sister. Their sudden appearance aligns with that of the beasts and the energy flowing in the world. It just seem all too strange to me"

"We need to see them, sister, if nothing else, to make sure this energy is not affecting them"

"Yes, I agree with you. And I think the perfect moment is coming, don't you agree, Luna?" At that, the black mare only looked in confusion at her counterpart.

Using her magic to float a letter in one of the near tables, Celestia give her sister the glowing item.

As she started to read it, a smile slowly made way into her face, and once she was finished, the black mare looked at her sister with understanding.

"Our niece's wedding in near, and young Twilight will surely want to meet her brother after all these years, if what you told me about their relationship is true. Besides, such an event will be useful to ease our subject’s worries about all these changes, at least for us to keep trying to find a solution to this..."

Celestia only nodded, seeing the value of her sister's idea. She was still recovering from what the event had done to her, and as such she was unable to use her magic to anything but her duty as the sun guardian. While she was getting better, she still couldn't risk using more magic than necessary, so helping her subjects in the search for the truth was out of the equation. And Luna, without Celestia's help, was unable to cast a spell big enough to cover the whole world to search for any kind of singularity regarding the strange magic.

Keeping the population in the dark wasn't something Celestia liked, she felt that all of her little ponies deserved to know the truth, but at the same time, she had been taking care of them for enough time to know that they would not take well the news. So for now, she would hide the truth, though to be honest the white mare was hoping to find out what was going on soon.

And I'm sure Twilight and her friends will help us with this.

"Cadance is doing us a favor by holding her wedding in Canterlot. We have to make sure to make it as big as possible. Our ponies really need this. And I guess we can make the best out of this...I have a few ideas, but that's for later. As for now, I need you to keep looking for anything about those creatures; but please, don't overdo it, can you, Luna? You haven't been resting enough after each scouting. You are taking a bit more time to raise you moon, sister. I have noticed..."

Shaking her head, the black mare smiled meekly.

"I shall do as you say, sister. Right now, I'll go to bed. Tomorrow we can talk about this after I come back from the search...I love you, Tia, I promise everything will be fine, I'm sure of it"

Both mares hugged each other, rubbing each other's faces. A few moments passed before the dark Alicorn decided that it was time to go. Giving her sister a kiss in her cheek, the younger mare walked away.

Breathing slowly, Celestia smiled to where her sister was a moment ago.

Letting a sigh out, the mare moved her gaze to the shining sun in the sky, and wished for everything to go back to what it was before.


Queen Monarch's Hive

Brood room

The queen of the changelings' hive near Las Pegasus was an imposing figure. In comparison to the rest of her hive, she was thrice their size. All of her children just came to her elbows, so she would always be able to look them down whenever she wanted to scold them.

The queen was a black mare with a greenish yellow mane. Unlike many other hives in Equus, she made sure that her hive was always well fed, so there was nopony with holes in their bodies within her domains. Her horn was similar to that of a unicorn, but longer and with a more pronounced end. Her eyes were a bright Blue that sometimes changed to green.

Right now, Monarch was looking at the newest members of her hive. Thankfully, her children had been able to snatch enough equestrians to fulfill the hive for a few months. But she knew that it was a matter of time before they would need new victims again. Her gaze moved to the ones that were still inside their eggs, and she knew that those were the ones that would become part of her warrior caste.

And for a single moment, her eyes moved onto a batch of eggs that were pulsating with energy, and she just got a reflective look on her eyes. After a few moments, she moved her gaze to where the larvae were lying, their peaceful forms sleeping without any care on the world. That brought a smile to her face.

Nodding to herself, the queen was about to exit the room but was stopped when one of her scouts suddenly appeared before her, kneeling down and with her head touching the ground. Smiling to herself, the queen recognized the changeling as one of her eldest daughters, Ditto.

"There's no need to do that my child, please, stand" She used her motherly tone to convince her daughter, who only nodded sheepishly "Now, what brings you to our lovely home, my dear? Your last report was only a few weeks ago, when you informed me about that peculiar creature you faced. So, did you find a suitable being to harvest for out hive?"

The little changeling looked at her mother and queen in the eyes, and nodded, a serious look on her eyes.

"Actually yes, my queen. I've found a subject to fulfill the purpose, but even better, I've found a group of ponies that will be able to feed us for months! And with the help of the others scouts we could get enough sustenance for even a year! "The scout was buzzing with excitement, her body seemed as if she wanted to jump and celebrate.

The queen let a pleased hum, her eyes closed and a smile slowly creeping to her face. This was a most pleasant surprise, she admitted. She wondered how did her daughter find such promising targets, if what she said was true.

"This is definitively good to hear, Ditto. How did you end up finding such treasure though? Last time it took you at least two months to find any suitable target...what did change?" The Matriarch's tone was

"Not much, to be honest. While I was looking for new ponies I eventually encountered a group that simply leaked love. A group of friends it seems, a total of seven ponies, with two of them being couples. I came back to ask for some help to seduce them, your grace. Two of the remaining three are stallions; the other is a young mare. I believe that with the help of two of my sisters I'll be able to bring them here" With that the little changeling mare looked up to her mother.

Humming to herself, the bigger mare moved a bit on where she was standing. She closed her eyes in thought, and to her daughter it seemed as if she suddenly was made of stone.

Ditto's gaze was on her mother and queen, and she couldn't help but think about how powerful and regal she looked. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that Queen Monarch had make sure that the entirety of her hive would never feel hungry. The Queen never seemed to be pleased by the way the had to feed themselves, which led to her being the one that ended the lives of all of the creatures they brought when they finally couldn't give energy anymore. In her own words, it was her own way to pay them respect.

And after seeing how other hives treated their captives, Ditto was proud of being part of her family. But after witnessing the state of Chrysalis' hive she was truly surprised to see how malnourished they were. They had holes everywhere, as if they haven't been eating anything for months. Which seemed wrong, since they were one of the hives that took the most hostages.

Ditto was so lost in her own mind that she didn't notice Monarch moving behind her, which led to the changeling jumping away when her mother touched her side.

"You shall take both Budd and Mantis with you, I'm sure this will give them some experience..." Nodding to her mother Ditto was about to walk away from the brood room when her Queen talked again "Tell me, daughter. Have you encountered any creature that isn't a pony again? I've received a few reports talking about sightings in other cities. Some hives feel that there's something off, and the ones hiding among Equestria's noble cast says that there's some rumors about the princesses being extremely worried about something..."

Walking near all of the eggs again, the Queen's blue eyes glowed with power.

"We have to be careful, dear Ditto. Things can change so fast that you would never notice. I know it myself since I had to become a Queen when my mother died. Sometimes, changes can be good, they can make you better. But sometimes, they can also harm you. And I feel like whatever is coming, it will be bad..."

The younger mare only stared at her mother with big eyes, as if she had been given some kind of ancient knowledge. She took some moments to collect herself, and after nodding both to her mother and her siblings, Ditto left the room.

Alone again, the Queen closed her eyes.

"I fear what is to come. Oh, Chrysalis, why do you want to condemn us so bad? And these creatures...they are not natural. Whatever they are, they don't belong here..."

I would have approached the princesses for help, but with how much Chrysalis has compromised Canterlot's population, I doubt anything I do will ever been seen as anything other than ill intentioned.

I shall call for a reunion with the other Queens; we have to discuss our next course of action...

Letting out a grunt, the Queen slowly walked towards the gate, not without looking a last time at the glowing batch of eggs on the corner of the room.

"Goodbye, my babies. Tomorrow I'll come back..."


Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville.

Second Floor

The little forms of both Naruto and Sasuke were crawling through the cushioned floor of Twilight's library. It had been like this for a while, the purple mare was still asleep, and so the two hyperactive babies took the chance to wander through the tree on their own. The blonde boy had a purple blanket around him, while the other baby only wore his dark blue hoodie. Had Twilight had the chance to see them go downstairs from her room, she would have been completely surprised with the way they went down.

Sasuke had decided to use the railing on the stairs as a support and used his left arm to hold himself from it; once he was sure that his arm wasn't going to loosen from it, he slowly went down the stairs, and most important, he took his first steps using only his legs. Even if he couldn't understand it, there was some kind of feeling inside him that made him smile, as if he had done something truly important.

On the other hand, Naruto did something that could've worried the purple mare immensely had she seen it. He just rolled down through the stairs; most of the brunt force was absorbed by the thick blanket he was enveloped with. Thankfully, the way down wasn't really long, so after a few steps he was in the second floor.

The other baby was looking at him curiously, and without any warning he got close to the blonde and started to caress his face, as if he was looking for any injury his companion could have taken during his trip down the stairs; once he noticed that everything seemed normal, he let go of Naruto's face and went away, the blonde baby looking at his back with the same curiosity.

After living together with Twilight for two weeks now, both babies had a somewhat vague understanding of the tree were they resided. Of course, there were places they remembered better than others, those being their guardian's room, the kitchen and the bathroom; the latter where more often than not they enjoyed a warm bath and played some games.

But there was an specific place that Sasuke had wanted to visit on his own for a while. The kitchen, the place where the marvelous food was given to him by the Glorious and Great Purple. Although his mind wasn't developed enough so he could recognize what was going through his head, the pale baby had wanted what he saw inside one of the fridges for a while now. He had enjoyed what Twilight usually give him, but after a while eating the same thing over and over again got boring quite quickly.

The black haired baby was crawling right into the kitchen in Twilight's house, and before he entered it, he decided to look at his brother. The other baby's eyes were completely focused on something, but Sasuke didn't really care about that, and so he kept crawling his way into the kitchen.

in the middle of Twilight's second floor and where her personal collection of books resided, the whiskered baby was cooing at one of the shelves, as if it could magically hear him.

The blonde baby's eyes were captivated by one of the biggest books in the mare's collection. Unfortunately, said book was too high in the shelves, and only someone with magic could actually take it; of course, Naruto didn't have magic.

So he did the next best thing, and approached the bookcase and tried to climb it. However, that didn't seem to work, and after the sixth time he just stopped.

A pout appeared in his face, his target seemed completely unreachable. He then tried to do the same as the Great Purple, using his mind to lift the book from its cage. However, he didn't seem to have such power, and with that, he sat down on the floor, some tears falling from his eyes.

"buhuu..." His blue eyes were so focused in the book that he didn't noticed the purple dragon that appeared behind him.

When a claw touched him in the head, the blonde baby looked at his side, where a purple Dragon was looking at him with a smile.

"So you want Celestia's illustrated book? Honestly, I can't believe Twilight had the luck to find a pair of eggheads babies!" He ended with a smile; however he approached to the shelf and then climbed to the book and with a quick movement he took it out. "Here...woah! You sure wanted it huh?" He said as the baby quickly took the item from his claw.

Spike watched with interest as the human baby opened the book and started to skim through its pages, until he reached a double-page that illustrated Celestia with a shining sun behind her; the baby seemed captivated by the appearance of the princess of the sun, his blue eyes were glued in the picture. Spike had to admit though; it was a really gorgeous depiction of the Princess.

As he walked away from the blonde creature, he entered the kitchen, where he found himself looking dumbstruck at the other baby Twilight had pretty much adopted. Sasuke's mouth was filled with chocolate ice-cream, and the moment Spike made act of presence the baby looked at him with his big eyes, as if he was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to.

The reptilian youngling let out a sigh and approached Sasuke, and carefully he wiped out the ice-cream from all over his face. The black haired baby giggled at his touch, but was still while Spike cleaned him; once he was done, the baby dragon looked at the surroundings and noted how there was food all over the floor.

Wincing, spike looked again at the baby.

"uhgh, Twilight's gonna kill you if she sees this...but we do not want that, do we?" He asked playfully, and like that he received a joyous smile "Come here, I gotta leave you with your bro, you two play while a clean this mess, 'kay?" Spike didn't know if the baby understood him, but he guessed that maybe he did, if the way he looked at him was any indication.

Walking out of the kitchen, he put the baby right next to his blonde friend, who looked up from the book and babbled some nonsense to the dragon before looking away again; smiling, Spike went back to the kitchen and with a sigh, started to clean it.


Opening her eyes with a grunt, Twilight felt as if she hadn't sleep for days. Her entire body was sore, and she could not help but hate the sun that right at that moment was shining through her window right into her face.

Not for the first time, she cursed whatever the hay was the cause of her new dreams. It was taxing, and she could felt how not only her body, but her mind, were deteriorating. Recently, she hasn’t been able to function as normal. The easiest of task involving her magic felt more taxing than ever, and she had to rely on Spike to take care of the children.

She felt horrible, and tried to remedy it. However, not a single one of her books said anything about dreams so strong to pass through shielding magic. She had casted a variety of spells on herself to sleep, but whatever the hay was happening, the dreams kept bypassing her shields, and every new day she would wake up feeling like crap.

Moving to the other side of the bed, she shook her head, and with a titanic effort she set out to get up and start her day.

She slowly got up, and once she was standing in the floor, stretched her body, letting out a satisfied grunt when her neck popped. The mare closed her eyes again, standing in the spot and for a few moments, she was asleep.

Of course, it didn't last when she heard a crash and then cries, which immediately woke her up and made her jump in her place. Gazing everywhere, the unicorn mare searched for the source of the noise. Her bloodshot eyes then moved to the door that lead to the stairs. Immediately she realized that whatever it was, it must be downstairs.

Quickly, she went down, already with her magic prepared for whatever the hay had caused such noise.

However, the moment she arrived there, her magic deactivated, since the scene in front of her couldn't be more non-threatening.

Spike was in the floor, laughing while both babies were on his back. Little Naruto was biting his tail, although the lack of teeth would mean that he was basically sucking it. Sasuke, on the other hoof, was hugging Spike's neck while sucking the side of his face; all the while the little dragon could only laugh, though she couldn't help but smile when she saw the babies expressions. Both seemed as fierce, as if they were some kind of predator attacking a prey. However, their lack of teeth, size or anything remotely threatening only made it adorable.

Humming to herself, the young mare stared at the scene in front of her, and decided that it was a good enough way to start her day.

Author's Note:

So, this is part one. I decided to split it in two, since the second part is not going as easy as I thought. And I didn't want to make you guys wait more time.

Honestly, I'm really sorry for taking so much time. It has been almost three months! I hate that I didn't post anything, but life has been rough and I just find myself without any energy to write; I think this chapter is about 6K words, the other one is still being written so I don't know how long it will be.

And well, as you see, the effects of chackra overflowing the world are starting to show. As of now, there's only three "Tailed beast" around, though maybe you noticed that I didn't write about the third.

And well, this is happening right before Cadance's wedding, so I wanted to show how other changeling hives felt about Chrysalis plan. There's a few that support her, but most of them actually don't want to have anything to do with it, but they also are unable to do anything about it, since trying to subdue Chrysalis would take an entire army, and such a showing would reveal them to society.

The rest of the chapter was to show the interactions between Spike and the kids, but also, whatever the source for Twilight's lack of sleep is, it will be important. Not as much in next chapter, but in the rest of the story and what it means; Also, as you can see, taking care of infants is not as easy as she thought, though she's getting better at it.

Hi guys, I'm back for a bit.
So...well, as you can tell I haven't updated this story in months. To be honest, that was never my intention(Initially I wanted to update at least once a month) but well, life got in the way.
My dad died back in march, and in july I had a fight with my sister and I left my house(or was forced to, but whatever). Now I'm living somewhere else, but this has greatly affected my mood, and I have found myself pretty sad lately.
But I want to change that. And honestly, after re-reading this story, I don't really feel pleased with it. So I'm rewriting it on its entirety.
The weird thing is that I had already plotted pretty much all of the two sequels for this story(well, the broad details mostly) but this one was the one that was giving me problems. Besides, I also decided to rewatch the first few seasons of FIM in my spare time, if only to get some inspiration. And reading the Naruto manga again, mostly to get both MC's characters down.
So well, I'm working on it, but I don't want to make the same mistake of posting the story and then leave it hanging forever. As such I'll try to finish the entire thing before publishing it, so I can have a good flow of chapters for you guys, and you can enjoy it without having to wait several months between chapters.

I hope to see more of this in the near future!^^

I know you taking your time in all it's been almost one year now I ever going to you story again

It's almost a year I can update it

Wellness check. I hope this gets updated.

In front of her bed, Twilight's tired eyes were looking at the two crying babies in front of her, their cries being contained inside the house thanks to a handy spell she found, otherwise she would have a lot of annoyed neighbors in her door at that very moment.

Damn, is the walls that thin?

It wasn't a matter of pride, it was that she felt the need to take care of things herself rather than let others do it. She didn't know why, but it was like that.

Whatever was that affected my mind; I hope it won't last at all...

Is that sasuke making her think that?

"Don't you think that it is a little suspicious that those babies appeared to Twilight right after the event? Something is a little suspicious here, sister" At that, Celestia could only agree.

I thought they appeared before the events.

Ditto's gaze was on her mother and queen, and she couldn't help but think about how powerful and regal she looked. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that Queen Monarch had make sure that the entirety of her hive would never feel hungry. The Queen never seemed to be pleased by the way the had to feed themselves, which led to her being the one that ended the lives of all of the creatures they brought when they finally couldn't give energy anymore. In her own words, it was her own way to pay them respect.

I’m starting to think she’s not nice, anymore.

She felt horrible, and tried to remedy it. However, not a single one of her books said anything about dreams so strong to pass through shielding magic. She had casted a variety of spells on herself to sleep, but whatever the hay was happening, the dreams kept bypassing her shields, and every new day she would wake up feeling like crap.

What were the dreams?
