Forget not that I am a derp.

Shining Armor is... mostly aware of what his little sister's been up to since the Friendship Games. Cadence keeps him in the loop, but she refuses to talk about some topics, insisting that it isn't her place to discuss them. When his phone rang a few moments ago, he thought Twilight had finally decided the time was right.

He's not entirely wrong, but he'll soon wish he had been.

An entry in the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition.

“Still expecting me to replace you,” he said flatly.

Now that's funny, with how miserably failed at so much Sunburst is.

(As a self-recognized goober himself, Shining felt bad for Timber Spruce, but not enough to warn him.)


Ha! Aww!

...

TTRPG! Yeah!

...

Shining tensed as the screech dredged up memories he had hoped would stay buried. “You didn’t tell me Ms. Harshwhinny still taught here!”


HA!

...

"Incidentally, it would’ve been nice to know you’re dating my old babysitter by some means other than logical inference through parallel universes.”


Niiice!

...

Cool making Sunburst and Sunset siblings! Well, they always usually are, but really makes the Twilight and Shining stuff shine more by comparison!

...

I only thought the brown stuff was the other stuff before I thought it'd be a food! heh.

...

Shining shuddered. "Nice as that sounds, after today, I don't know if I'll ever have kids."

That got a noncommittal grunt, but Shining could see the same I-know-something-you-don't-know twinkle in his counterpart's eye


IIRC most calcuations do have the royal wedding as a Shotgun Wedding situation, yes...

...

That got him a shove. "Nothing like that." He could hear Cadence get up and move out of the room. "But I do have something to show you."


She's showing off the Pregnancy Test. Anime Style lol? Sorta? Gotta be.

... YEP. :rainbowlaugh:

Typos:

her—ertainly > her—Certainly

I won't go to into > I won't go too into

Watch out, Flurry, that changeling has come to steal your Whammy :trixieshiftleft:

I feel bad for Shining. He should have watched the above PSA.

Sunset cleared her throat. “Look, you two, we’re on a clock here. We need Shining in Equestria now if not sooner.”

Wait what!? :pinkiegasp:

“Eh..." She waggled a hand in a "more or less" gesture. "There were a few months of relative normalcy. It started with a trip to Camp Everfree—”

Guess that answers my question when this likely takes place. :applejackunsure:

With his eyes crossed, he could only tell she was frowning a few moments after the fact. Her glowing horn was more of a tell, especially after it sent him flying into a heap of plushies.

Oof. :fluttershyouch:

"She was." Shining tried to stand, halting when Flurry pressed down him. She babbled excitedly at her father, keeping the alternative pinned down.

pressed him down.*

Good thing they had the time to transport the mirror back to the Crystal Empire beforehand. Well, good for the ponies. Shining Armor probably wishes he had gotten the train ride to receive a proper briefing.

“And I was almost crushed by encyclopediae.”

Sunset rolled her eyes. “Celestia’s sake, are you still insisting on the irregular plurals thing?”

At least he didn't also try to use the æ ligature in the middle of the word?

Nice job fulfilling the prompt while allowing Shining Armor to walk away with respect (and for writing what I assume is one of the few entries to apply the goth "requirement" to a baby Flurry).

The pregnancy test wasn't meant to be a meme reference, but I suppose some are nigh-unavoidable.

11856999
It's entirely reasonable suspicion on her part.

11857043
Sadly, time was of the essence.

The intent had been to actually invite Sunset to an event in Equestria for once, but one thing led to another and, well, you know how it goes.

I’m a fan of the pudding-goth phase.

Fantastic and adorable. It's perfect. X3

HAHAHA!! The castle is not on fire... I call that a WIN.

And your last bit there with him not being overly excited about a now pregnant fiance I can relate to. When the doctor confirmed that my wife was pregnant I didn't say anything for a few seconds and he said in a quite awkward tone, "Congratulations?"

And Sunset and Sunburst are both going to have an awkward dinner with their mother. Hell, that's a story in of itself!

He did, seeing a little plastic tab. One with two little red lines on it.

Oh no, Cadence caught the PONID-21 shiny brought back from the mirror, knew that thing was a biohazard...

This feels like something out of an actual episode

This was great, and horrible. A human Flurry Heart can't be worse than the pony Flurry Heart? Right? Right...

11858179
It depends on how much the human Twilight gets involved.

It's funny how the afterthoughts sometimes to turn out to be the highlight of the story. :derpytongue2:

11857881
Oof. Yeah, Stellar Flare having dinner with both children for the first time in years would make for quite the experience. Especially if both end up bringing their mad but brilliant purple girlfriends along. This may bear further thought...

11857924
Don't worry, Sunset made sure everyone who attended the Friendship Games got their eponavirus vaccines.

11857996
One of the highest compliments I can ask for with this sort of story. Thank you for it.

11858179 11858562
I make no guarantees one way or the other. :scootangel:

Do it do it do it! :raritystarry:

This was a fun read. It is befitting that Flurry is alarmed at her auntie's doppelganger lacking wings - kids do indeed notice inconsistencies.

Now I wonder what kind of plans Stellar Flare was trying to push on Sunset to make her want to become an alicorn princess even if it meant leaving their dimension altogether.
