> Pumpkin Cake Finds Something
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Mr. and Mrs. Cake were taking orders for all the ponies coming in, Pinkie Pie was keeping an eye on the twins. She decided to play a game of hide and seek with them, thinking they wouldn't go beyond the room they were in. As Pinkie hid and waited for them to come find her Pumpkin Cake decided to do some exploring. She crawled out of the room as Pinkie stayed hidden and Pound Cake decided to look around the room. Pumpkin quietly crawled downstairs and she kept quiet so her parents could work without needing to notice her. As she looked around for her aunt Pinkie Pie, she a box at the back door. "Huh, did Mama get mowe sweets," Pumpkin asked herself in her baby language, and luckily no pony heard her. 

The box was open, but it just lay there on the floor. Curiosity got the better of her and she decided to have a look. Once she got over to the box she looked inside. It seemed to be just a bunch of her mom's dishes, but then something else in the box caught her eye. It was one of those braclets, like she saw her aunt Pinikie, her friends and her mom's mare customers sometimes were. She decided it wouldn't hurt to put it on. She grabbed it in her mouth and found out it was too big to swallow, which she didn't mind, but once she found out how to get it on, it seemed to fit perfectly. She soon decided it was time to go and look for her aunt Pinkie Pie again and felt that she wasn't downstairs, so she crawled back upstairs. When she got back to the room she saw Pound Cake still looking around their aunt Pinkie.  "No aunt Pinkie Pie yet?" Pumpkin Cake asked.

"No, she good hidew," Pound Cake said.

They then heard the giggle of their aunt Pinkie and Pumpkin said, "I tink she ovew hewe. Ah-ah-ah....choo."

Pumpkin Cake let out a burst of magic that was big and it flew towards where she heard their aunt Pinkie Pie and it knocked down some of the toys above Pinkie's head. "Ouch, huh? How did that, oops. Hope the twins don't find me," Pinkie Pie said.

She soon felt the twins wrapping around her feet. "Awwwww, you found me. Good job babies," Pinkie Pie said.

"Wow Pumpkwin, I knowed you make magic wight, but I not know you make dat much big wight," Pound Cake said as they kept hugging Pinkie Pie's forelegs.

"I not know edew," Pumpkin Cake said.

"What are you two talking about? Oh, that's a cute bracelet you got there Pumpkin. Did your Mama Cake give it to you?" Pinkie asked.

Pumpkin just tilted her head, knowing Pinkie couldn't understand them. "Whewe you find bwacwet sis?" Pound asked.

"I find bwacwet in open box bwada," Pumpkin answered.

"Coow," Pound replied.

"Oh Pinkie Pie dear, could you bring down the twins? We've closed up for the day now," Mrs Cake requested.

"Be right down Mrs. Cake. Come on you two, up we go," Pinkie Pie said as she scooped the two foals up and placed them on her back taking them downstairs.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake watched as their two foals rode on Pinkie's back giggling. "Awww, they really like spending time with you Pinkie Pie, I don't know how you did it, but you definitely won them over becoming their foalsitter," Mr. Cake commented.

"Oh, and what's that on your leg my little Pumpkin Cake?" Mrs. Cake asked, taking notice to her daughter's bracelet.

Mrs. Cake examined it and then said, "Hmm, must be one of my old bracelets my mother gave me when I was a baby. I didn't know I still had any of them. Oh well, you can keep it darling."

Mrs. Cake kissed her daughter and soon took both foals off of Pinkie and let them crawl around. "They weren't too much trouble up there were they?" Mr. Cake asked.

"Oh no, they were having fun, though their playroom will need cleaning, some of their toys fell on me as we played hide and seek," Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Well good to know Pinkie dear," Mrs. Cake said.

As the Pinkie and the Cakes talked about new idea's for the sweet shop and new flavors they could try and cook up, the twins started a conversation of their own. "You tink youw magic wight getting bettew Pumpkwin?" Pound Cake asked.

"I not know, but dat funny toys faww on aunt Pinkie," Pumpkin Cake said.

Both foals laugh thinking of the moment. Soon it was time for bed and the Cakes offered Pinkie Pie the spare bed in the family bedroom for the night since there was a horrible storm outside. Pinkie Pie thanked them and all of them got ready for bed after Mrs. Cake gave the twins their meal before bed. Mrs. Cake then read the twins favorite bedtime story to them  to try and keep their minds off the storm outside. The twins soon fall asleep and Mrs. Cake kissed them both good night. As she headed to bed herself she caught a glimpse of Pinkie Pie sleeping, and she looked just like a foal herself as she slept. 

Mr. and Mrs. Cake had considered her part of the family for a while now and gave her the title of their twins aunt, since the twins always seemed to love having Pinkie Pie around. She knew of Pinkie's real family history and felt sorry for the poor mare having to grow up like she did before coming to work for them. She was just a filly at the time, but she soon grew on the Cakes, making them smile everytime she was around. To this day it proved effective. Mrs. Cake wondered every now and again how much Pinkie would have stolen their hearts if they knew Pinkie Pie when she was only a little foal like Pumpkin and Pound Cake. Of course she found that to be impossible now, but it always itched at the back of her head.

As Mrs. Cake climbed into bed with her husband, the storm began to pick up more outside. This had bought back a few memories about Pinkie's filly days when she worked for them, and a storm had raged outside and Mrs Cake had to calm her down as if she were her own filly. She knew Pinkie was still a filly at heart, but also knew many of her fillyhood fears were gone as Pinkie had matured into the mare they know. That's what everypony loved about Pinkie. As Mrs. Cake dwelled on what could have been, her subconscious soon took over and she joined everypony else in dreamland.

As the Storm raged on Mrs. Cake was dreaming about Pinkie Pie playing with her Twins, but not as the mare she was. She was seen as the little foal they never got to see, though what Pinkie looked like was a bit of a blur, since they only met her after she had gotten her cutie mark. Unknown to her the bracelet Pumpkin Cake was wearing was starting to act up as it did when Pumpkin had sneezed earlier, but it was not noticeable for the time being. 

Pumpkin stirred and then awoke with a fright as a loud bang of thunder woke her up. She started to whimper a bit, feeling scared by the noise. Pinkie had awoken to see her crying and walked over to her. "Aww, don't be scared Pumpkin Cake, it's just silly old Mr. Thunder. He's just a little cranky right now, but he can't hurt you. He just likes to be loud sometimes," She said.

Pumpkin Cake was still a little scared, but Pinkie's assuring words helped her calm down a bit. But she was still scared. Not for herself, but for her aunt Pinkie. She didn't want Pinkie to leave if the storm didn't stop tomorrow. She knew Pinkie Pie was a grown up, but she was still scared the lightning might hurt Pinkie. As Pinkie helped her to calm down in her own way, Pumpkin Cake began to feel drowsy. Soon her eye's were heavy enough to make her fall back asleep. 

Once Pinkie Pie felt Pumpkin was back in dreamland, she quietly made her way back to her bed. She had not seen that Mrs. Cake had been watching the entire time with a smile on her face at how loving Pinkie was to her foals. Pinkie Pie and Mrs. Cake soon fell asleep again, hoping the Twins would both sleep the rest of the night. As the night pressed on the bracelet Pumpkin had on started to produce a magical aura around itself sending some of it to Pumpkin's horn. In the process the bracelets magic tickled her nose. 

Before hoof she was dreaming of Pinkie as the sister she never had. As she awoke to sneeze, she watched in amazement and terror as her magic bolted towards her mother and Pinkie. For a moment she could swear she saw Pinkie Pie shrinking before she vanished. Soon after, she saw her mother's tummy grow in size. She could only think one thing, 'I sent aunt Pinkie into Mama's tummy.'

She then saw that the bracelet and her horn were glowing the same color. Then in a flash of light, the bracelet vanished. She looked over at her mom and watched for an hour before she saw it wiggle a bit. That told her that Pinkie was alive in her Mama's tummy, but how, was something she couldn't explain. She knew she would have to tell her mom somehow that Pinkie Pie was inside her, but it certainly wasn't gonna be through speech.
> Mr. And Mrs. Cake's Third On The Way
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Celestia's sun rose into the morning sky, Pound Cake began to wake up. Pumpkin Cake was still in dreamland, after spending so much time last night trying to figure out how to tell their parents that Pinkie Pie was in their mom's tummy. Mrs. Cake had begun to wake up, and soon felt the extra weight in her belly, but she thought nothing of it, for some of her mornings were like that and she figured it would go away soon. What itched at her, was that she felt a little sensation she only had felt while she pregnant, but there were a few times she felt it after having the twins. She trotted over to their crib and asked, "Good morning my little Pound Cake, did you sleep good?"

"Mama, why you got big tummy?" Pound asked, seeing his mom's tummy was now more round.

All Mrs. Cake heard was, "Mama,  goo goo ga."

Mrs. Cake smiled and reached down to pick up her son. "Let's let you sister sleep a bit longer sweetie, she looks really tired," Mrs. Cake said as she headed back to her bed.

Once there, she laid Pound Cake next to her breast and he crawled towards them to nurse and while he did, he noticed Pinkie Pie was no longer in the bed she had been sleeping on, and thought she must have left while they were asleep, but he was scared she might get hurt from the storm that was still blowing strong outside. During this time, Mrs. Cake had taken to notice her rounder belly. She then thought to herself, 'Have I been letting myself go lately, how did I not notice my belly get rounder.'

After she thought about this, she also noticed that Pinkie Pie was no longer in her bed and figured she must be downstairs trying to make the new sweets they were talking about. What caught her attention was that is was quiet, and Pinkie Pie tended to be noisy when it came to work, even if she wasn't talking, so the silence struck her as odd. She figured she would go down and investigate after Pound Cake was done feeding. She would have called down if it hadn't been for Pumpkin Cake sleeping. 

She knew her husband, Carrot Cake was a heavy sleeper and could easily sleep through her calling to Pinkie Pie, but Pumpkin had not developed that trait from her father. As Pound Cake finished, he could have sworn he heard a heart beat coming from his mom's tummy, since he could hear a lot more then most ponies but figured it was just his mom's own heart beating. "Alright honey, let's head downstairs and see if your aunt Pinkie is up to anything, we'll let your dad and sister sleep for now," Mrs. Cake whispered.

Pound Cake was picked up by the back of his neck and placed on his mom's back and they soon head downstairs. Mrs. Cake noticed the extra weight she felt was not leaving and figured she might get used to it once she started moving around, unaware she was carrying another passenger besides her son. Once they make it down stairs, Mrs. Cake opens the doors to the Kitchen. "Pinkie Pie, are you in here dear?" She asked.

There was no response. She waited a bit to see if Pinkie might pop up and surprise her like she sometimes did when she let her filly side show. After waiting for a while she concluded Pinkie Pie was not there. She went to the storage area to see if Pinkie was there getting some ingredients for what she might be making and still showed no sign of her. After searching every part of the store, Mrs. Cake was a tad shocked. 

She knew there was no break in the storm for the weather ponies had warned the the citizens of Ponieville that a storm front that couldn't be controlled by pegasi, which sometimes happened, had been coming towards them two days prior, with no breaks before it passed after three days in Ponyville, and Ponies had stocked up. It had arrived just a little while after the Cakes had closed up, and now the storm was still raging outside. Mrs. Cake knew Pinkie was her own person, and sometimes let her filly side take over, but she knew even Pinkie Pie was smart enough not to risk going out in the storm, even to get home, which wasn't too far from where they worked.

Mrs. Cake scratched her head trying to figure out why Pinkie Pie was no where to be found. "If your aunt Pinkie is playing a game of hide and seek Pound, she certainly is doing a good job hiding herself, Mrs. Cake admitted.

'Of course she is, or the game would be boring for me and Pumpkin.' Pound Cake thought to himself.

"Well, let's head upstairs and see you sister. She's probably up by now and is hungry," Mrs. Cake said, trotting up the stairs with Pound cake on her back.

As they entered the room, they saw Pumpkin Cake reach through the crib's bars to her mother. Mrs. Cake cooed at how cute her daughter was when she wanted her to hold her. She soon picked up Pumpkin Cake and carried her and Pound Cake over to her bed. She laid them by her belly, but instead of going to her mom's breasts, Pumpkin looked at Pound and said, "Bwada, guess what appen wast night?"

"What appen?" he asked.

"The bwacet I wowe wet me make big magwic wight, but den it make it go to aunt Pinkie and Mama," Pumpkin said.

"Den what appen?" Pound asked.

All Mrs. Cake was able to make out was Mama and Pinkie in their little baby talk as Pumpkin replied, "Weww, den magwic wight stawt and make aunt Pinkie Smaww and den she disappeaw. Den she weappeaw smawwer in Mama tummy, making Mama tummy biggew. Pinkie isth in Mama tummy."

Pound was a little shocked. Pinkie Pie was now inside their mom's tummy and somehow smaller too. "Wow, did you teww Mama dat Pinkie in her tummy?" Pound asked.

"I not know how yet. Mama not undewstand usth when we tawk," Pumpkin said.

They were soon interrupted as their mom said, "What are you two talking about? Hmhmhm, I thought you would be hungry Pumpkin dear."

Pumpkin Cake had to admit she was hungry and her tummy growling confirmed that. She soon crawled over to her mom's breast between her legs and began to nurse. "There we go dear. My, my, you two little rascals just like to talk whenever don'tcha?" She retorts.

Just as Pumpkin finished nursing, something happened that surprised Mrs. Cake. She felt a kick from inside her tummy. "Oh, my goodness," she said, thinking it might of been some sport gas on her insides, as had happened before and had felt like kicks.

Then a second kick came. Mrs. Cake now froze. She could only think of one thing. She was pregnant. 'This can't be. Carrot and I never tried to make a another foal after having the twins. And I know no stallion within a 100 miles of Ponyville would try and mate with a married mare, and I'm a light sleeper, I would know. But, how, how am I pregnant then. I feel them kicking and I can't say it's anything else. Oh, how will I figure this out.' She thought.

Her train of thought was stopped as she felt Pumpkin push on her chest to get her attention. The look in her filly's eyes said that Pumpkin was trying to tell her something. "W-What is it sweetie?"

Pumpkin then pointed at a picture of Pinkie Pie and the Cakes. "Yes that's all of us at a picnic dear," Mrs. Cake said.

She then saw that her daughter seemed a little frustrated and looked more closely at where her daughter was pointing. "Pinkie Pie, what is it about Pinkie Pie honey?" Mrs. Cake asked.

Pumpkin then pressed on her belly. "Oh, did she have upset stomach?" Mrs. Cake tried to guess.

Pumpkin Cake shook her head, and pointed at the picture and then pressed on her mom's belly again. "Pinkie was hungry?" Mrs. Cake asked, still not getting what Pumpkin was saying. 

After a third try, Mrs. Cake went wide eyed again as her daughter seemed to be saying what seemed impossible, but with Pinkie, probably was possible. "Pinkie Pie is inside mommy's tummy?" Mrs. Cake asked.

Pumpkin Cake nodded her head. At this Point, Mrs. Cake was at a loss for words and wanted to do one of three things:

1. Scream.

2. Faint.

3. Run off to jump in an ice cold lake.

But knowing this was real and that all three would make her foals and her husband worry, plus the third would possibly get her and her soon to be foal Pinkie hurt, she took a deep breath and looked at her daughter. "Are you telling me the truth honey, Mama will know if your lying, so are you telling the truth?" Mrs. Cake asked Pumpkin.

True Pumpkin was only a foal, and a few months old, but Mrs. Cake knew if her daughter was being serious or making something up when it came to big things like this. Pumpkin was honest and nodded her head. Many thoughts began to go through Mrs. Cake's head as she contemplated how a little foal like her daughter understood something so complex and how it even happened. She then realized that Pumpkin was not wearing the bracelet anymore and knew her daughter had it on last night. Looking in the area from the crib to her bed, she looked for it in case it had fallen off. When she could not see any sign of it, this further lead to her thinking that Pumpkin had inadvertently caused this with her magic without meaning to, and the bracelet had something to do with it. Maybe she was thinking too much like Pinkie, or it might be a side effect due to the fact that Pinkie was now inside her tummy connected to her for she felt the heartbeat, which was the feeling she couldn't place earlier.

Mrs. Cake knew what she was now thinking was highly unlikely to ever happen, but seeing that there was a deadly storm outside and Pinkie was nowhere in sight and knew better then to brave the storm and go outside, Pinkie Pie being inside her special room was the only ideal explanation right now. Her daughter knowing must have been due to her magic accidentally being involved, but Mrs. Cake didn't blame her for that, for unicorn foals were known to have magical outburst they couldn't  control. What she blamed was the bracelet, for she knew it had something to do with this. The more she thought about Pinkie being inside of her tummy, the more calm she became, and in a way happy.

She had not expected this, but this could be a nice change for Pinkie, and for them. They always thought of Pinkie as part of their family, and now she was starting to become part of it, and not only that, she was beginning her life over again. Pumpkin and Pound Cake were going to have a little sister, and they would gain another daughter. She had always wanted to see Pinkie when she was a foal and was now getting that chance. She also realized, if Pinkie was starting a new life with them, then her original family would no longer be her family, and even though it seemed wrong, Mrs. Cake felt it was right to let her become part of the Cake family. Soon she made up her mind and told herself she would raise Pinkie and she would let Carrot Cake know as well as Pinkie's six friends when the storm passed.

Carrot Cake soon woke up and asked what he had missed. Cup Cake told him the whole story of what happened. At first he thought she was talking nonsense, then as she pointed out many factors that proved what she was saying was true, Carrot all of the sudden fainted for a second. After a few minutes he came to his senses and took a breather. "I know this all seems so out of the norm dear, but I can't think of anything more logical at this point, you know she would not risk her neck in that weather to get home and she is nowhere to be found?" Cup Cake said.

"It's just, this would have been the last thing I expected, but from what your saying it seems to be the only reason to explain how your tummy went from cutely flat to cutely round overnight," Carrot Cake said.

"You think I look cute with a round belly honey?" Cup Cake asked.

"Yes, I thought you looked very cute when you were carrying the twins," Carrot Cake said.

Pound and Pumpkin Cake were confused. They always thought their mom looked pretty, whether she had a round tummy or not. After blushing for a bit, Cup Cake said, "Well, after the storm is over, we better start getting stuff ready for out newest foal. I don't want to have Pinkie Pie being in places she shouldn't once she's born."

"You now, her last name can't be Pie after this, she's gonna be a Cake. Pinkie Cake doesn't quite feel right for her," Carrot Cake informed her.

"Your right, but what can we name her? Hmm, Banana Cake? No, that's not right," Cup Cake said.

"Strawberry Short Cake?" Carrot Cake suggests.

"No, even though it would match perfect with her coat, it sounds like the name of a TV show that would be for young fillies," Cup Cake said.

"Yeah, you've got a point, Um, how about Cherry Cheese Cake?" Carrot asked.

"That might be a good one, what do you two think?" Cup Cake asked as she looked at her foals.

They made raspberries at the suggestion. "Guess that's a no for them," Cup cake said.

"Hmm, I don't know why, but the only other one I can come up with is Pinkie Pie Cake," Carrot said.

Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake Clapped their hooves and babbled in a approval. "Well Pinkie Pie Cake it is then," Cup Cake said. 

Soon they all got into a family hug as they accepted that Pinkie was going to be a new real member of their family. Pinkie kicked where her two new siblings and new dad were as they hugged and Mrs Cake said, "Feels like Pinkie's glad to become part of the family too. Now how about we head downstairs and watch some movies in the family room?" Cup Cake suggested.

All of them agreed and they went down stairs to watch some of their favorite family movies as the storm continues and Cup Cake gently rubs her belly as she feels her little Pinkie move around in her tummy. A few times the Twins feel their new little sister kick as they touch their mom's belly while the watch movies, happy that Pinkie never had to leave them now.
> A Shocking New Development.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, the Cake family had decided to go out in town to start getting the things they needed for their little party planner on the way. Carrot Cake was carrying the twins in a foal carrier this time since Cup Cake's tummy was too round to strap on the foal carrier due to her precious cargo. The had just made their way out of the grocery store since Pinkie was already giving Cup Cake weird cravings.

They soon headed to the foal store to pick up a new crib and other equipment that would allow them to prepare for little Pinkie's arrival. Mrs. Cake was receiving many looks from the ponies around town. Most of them thinking 'Aww, the Cakes are having another foal.'

They soon made their way into the foal shop and met up with Fluffy Cushion. "Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, how nice to see you two again," Fluffy said.

"Hello Fluffy, we're here to pick up..." Cup Cake was cut off.

"Your foal supplies, I'll be right back," Fluffy said about to head to the back of the store to grab their usual.

"Fluffy wait," Carrot stated.

"Yes? What is it?" Fluffy asked.

"Well, yes were here to pick up the usual, but we need to grab a few more things," Carrot said.

"Oh?" Fluffy inquired.

"Well, if haven't already noticed," Carrot gestured to Cup Cake's pregnant form.

Fluffy finally took notice and said, "Oh my, congratulations you two. I'll bet Pinkie Pie is excited about this too."

"Oh, I know she is," Cup Cake said as she looked down gently rubbed her tummy as her little Pinkie gently kicked from inside.

Fluffy only smiled and said, "Well, let me fetch you the foal supplies for your third on the way."

"Thank you Fluffy," Carrot said.

Soon Fluffy was off to the back of the store and Cup Cake looked at Carrot Cake. "So, how do think her friends will react to this?" Cup Cake asked.

"I don't know, but more then likely they'll have looks of shock when we tell them," Carrot Cake said.

"Well, I hope they don't get their manes in a knot," Cup Cake said.

"Don't worry dear, their gonna understand. Twilight would more then likely want to know about that bracelet, if that is the cause of this," Carrot Cake said.

"You have a point, and I can only imagine what the others will do when they hear the news," Cup Cake said.

Soon Fluffy came out with the foal supplies they needed. They were happy they had brought the big supply cart, which had enough room for everything they needed. "Thank you for your help Fluffy," Cup Cake said.

"Not a problem at all Mrs. Cake. Um, I know this sounds awkward of me, but, do you mind if I feel?" Fluffy asked.

"Well, we let you feel with the twins didn't we?" Cup Cake joked.

"Go right ahead," Carrot said.

Fluffy soon put his hoof on Cup Cakes belly and within seconds felt a kick. "Wow, it's a strong little one you have in there," Fluffy said making the other foals giggle.

"Tell me about it. The little one gets especially active when I am hungry," Mrs. Cake said.

"I'm surprised you just only started to show," Fluffy said.

"Yeah, well the little one decided to wait and then popped out of the blue and made me rounder, like Pinkie does with her parites," Cup Cake said, bending the truth to make it so Fluffy wouldn't suspect.

"Well, the little one's defiantly has Pinkie's sense of humor and certainly surprised me. Do you think it's gonna be a filly or a colt?" Fluffy asked.

"Well, we don't want to say we're psychic or anything, but we think it will be a filly," Carrot said.

Pound Cake crossed his little arms at the statement. "Oh, looks like little Pound Cake doesn't like that assumption. Don't worry kid, that means you get more quality time with your daddy," Fluffy said as he ruffled Pound's mane.

Pound quickly changed from mad to happy upon hearing this. "Well, we best get going, we'd like to have this stuff set up before the twins nap today, that is after we run a few more errands after this," Carrot Cake said.

"Yes, we'll see you later darling," Cup Cake said.

"Come back anytime," Fluffy said.

Soon the Cakes made their way home  and dropped off the supplies. "Well, let's go tell Pinkie's friends the news," Cup Cake said.

"Alright," Carrot Cake said, feeling a bit nervous as he carried the twins.

They soon made their way to the library to tell Twilight. When they arrived they knocked on the door...No answer.

They knocked again...No answer.

They were about to knock a third time when Octavia trotted by and said, "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. cake, Princess Twilight's not at the library today, she recieved a message from one of the other princesses before the storm hit and she and Spike took off on the train just as it rolled in. The note she left on the door must have been blown away in the storm."

"Oh, thank you Octavia, we might have been here for a while if you hadn't informed us," Cup Cake said.

"Not a problem at all, and congrats on the new member of the family," Octavia said, taking notice to Cup Cakes round tummy.

"Oh, why thank you," Cup Cake said.

"Hope to see the new baby soon, but I better be off, I have to meet up with Vinyl Scratch. Have good day," Octavia said.

"You too dear," Cup Cake said.

Octavia nodded and galloped off. "Well, that's one of Pinkie's friends we'll have to tell later," Cup Cake said.

"Well, I guess it's off to Rarity's place," Carrot said.

They soon made it to the boutique to find Fancy Pants there. "Well I say hello there, may I help you two in any way? Maybe some outfits for the little ones. A regal, yet comfortable garment for you to fit in to while your with foal for the young mother, or perhaps a charming suit for the father of the family," Fancy Pants offers.

"Well, we're actually here to see Miss Rarity," Cup Cake said, as she and Carrot blushed at Fancy Pants' garmet offers that had sound intriguing.

"Ah, you must be some of Rarity's fine customers then," Fancy Pants said.

"Well, yes, once in a while, but today we're here just to talk to her," Carrot Cake said.

"Well, is there any way I can interest you in any garments on her behalf or possibly make a special line of them to your liking?" Fancy Pants offered.

"Actually, we're not here about garments, no offence, they all look fabulous, but we're here to speak with her about some personal, private matters," Cup Cake said.

"Ah, I see. You are good friends of hers, no doubt, but alas, Rarity is not going to be back for quite a while. She's come down with an illness and requires bed rest and was sent to stay with her parents and sister at their Canterlot home. I was asked just recently to take over until she is back on her hooves. I wouldn't want one of the top stylist to have her work go out of business," Fancy Pants said.

"Oh my, well, I hope she's better soon," Cup Cake said.

"Well, I will be sure to send her a letter letting her know that ponies wish for her to get well," Fancy Pants said.

"Well, I think we can do that ourselves too, but all the same thank you. We'll be sure to visit again if we may need any new garments Fancy Pants. Thank you," Carrot Cake said.

"Happy to be of service, I hope the new foal on the way has a taste for the sparkly garments like your twins do," Fancy Pants said.

Cup Cake and Carrot look at the foals who's eyes were focused on the sparkling glitter that  was on some of the garments. "Well we best be on our next errand before our little ones hurt their eyes. Have a lovely day Fancy Pants," Cup Cake said.

"And you as well," Fancy Pants replies.

As they made some distance from him, Cup Cake looked at Carrot Cake. "I think Fancy Pants knows more about what's happened to Rarity then he is letting on," Cup Cake said.

"I think so too, He seemed to want to avoid the subject and he looked as if he was afraid we might be on to him, still, all the same, it's nice he is keeping Rarity's business going," Carrot Cake said.

"Hard to argue with you there sweetie," Cup Cake said.

As they talked about what was happening Pound and Pumpkin talked best they could. "Wow, two of Pinkie's fwiends awe gone," Pound said.

"Yeah, dat's weiwd. I not know what gowing on, Pumpkin said.

Soon they approached Fluttershy's cottage and were met with an unexpected sight. Soarin, Spitfire and Scootaloo were at the front door knocking, and Spitfire seemed to be carrying something or Somepony on her back. As they got a closer look, they  were in more shock. There was a foal version of Rainbow Dash and another foal they could only guess who it was that were asleep in their foal carriers. Soarin noticed them and got Spitfire's attention, telling her to turn around. "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, fancy bumping into the two of you here," Spitfire said.

"Um, Spitfire, forgive me if I sound rude, but... that foal right there... is that who I think it is?" Cup Cake asked as she pointed to the rainbow maned foal.

"Well, we're not going to lie, so, here's what happened," Spitfire started.

Spitfire explained all that happened a few days prior, and Carrot and Cup Cake were a tad bit shocked. They then figured since Spitfire and her family were so open about it, they revealed what happend to Pinkie Pie. Rainbow who had woke up while they were talking dropped her jaw wide. The two families agreed to keep what had happened under rap for the time being after the initial shock wore off.

"So, did you hear what has happened with Twilight and Rarity?" Cup Cake asked.

"Yes, and this is what strikes me as odd. Rarity has come down with something, and both Twilight and Applejack were called to be with one of the Princesses. We were gonna come and speak with you, but you seem to have given us a surprise of your own with Pinkie and we just got here to Fluttershy's place and knocked once but it appears no pony is..." Spitfire was cut short as the door opened.

"Oh, hello there," said a mare's voice.

The ponies turn their attention to see a mare that looked a lot like Fluttershy, only her mane was of a sky blue color and her cutie mark had three birds. "Oh, hello miss uh..." Soarin couldn't finish.

"Oh, I am Kind Heart, Fluttershy's mother. My little girl invited me to stay with her for the weekend, well, that is before..." Kind Heart stopped talking to remove a hoof to show her trebling daughter hiding beneath her, no bigger than Rainbow Dash, making them think she was roughly the same age as Rainbow Dash making Rainbow go jaw dropped again.

"B-b-b-but how?" Soarin asked.

"Well, it's actually an interesting story," Kind Heart said.

"Well I think we're all ears," Spitfire said as all the ponies present nodded and listened in as they sat down in the cottage.
