It Takes A Village

Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst are new parents. They are also immensely powerful unicorns with a penchant for going overboard. These things don't mix very well.

The cry of a child coming from inside prompted Twilight’s ears to perk up. “Oh someone isn't enjoying the horn ache. I suppose I could just disrupt your spell…” Twilight grinned to herself. “Or I could use this opportunity to play with the cute baby.”

“Do you want to reinforce the basic shielding more?” Sunburst inquired, running a hoof through his beard. “If we tied the houses’ natural defences into the leylines beneath the town our home should be able to harness enough magic to cast a fifth level shield spell in less than three picoseconds.”

“It was at least two years,” Sunburst claimed, only to frown. “But now that we’re thinking about it maybe we should check the supply, just in case.”
