The two mares continued to walk back to Ponyville, Rainbow still laying her head on Twilight's shoulder. "Hey honey I'm still a little tired, maybe when we get home we can take a little nap; if you get what I'm saying," Rainbow winked and nudged Twilight playfully. Twilight just blushed and looked down not saying anything and only halfway paying attention, Rainbow just laughed slightly at the alicorn continuing to lean on her shoulder.

After a while of silent walking the two ponies reach Ponyville, by the time they returned Celestia had fully raised the morning sun and a few pegasi were moving and placing the autumn clouds in the sky making the air feel cooler. There were more ponies awake and doing some morning shopping. Sugar Cube corner wasn't very busy as per normal for this time of day.

"I hope Pinkie has her cake ready," Rainbow grumbled with a slight yawn. Twilight looked at her and smiled. The two continued into Sugarcube corner and saw Fluttershy behind the counter.

"Oh hello you two!" She said softly "I guess you're here for the cake?" She tilted her head.
Rainbow smiled "Of course, as long as it's ready. I know the two of you have been busy since Cherry finished school."

"Oh no it's fine, it's mostly from Mr and Miss Cake being in Canterlot. Oh, and I see Twilight came back early," Twilight awkwardly smiled at Fluttershy. "I'll go get her cake I can't wait for the party, even more now that Twilight's going to be there!" The mare trotted happily into the back of the store.

A few minutes later Pinkie came out of the back carrying a cake on her back followed by a pony Twilight didn't recognize, she was a little older than Nocturne and had a pie with a cherry on top of it as a cutie mark, she placed the cake on the counter and smiled at them both. "Okay how do you like it?" The pink party pony asked excitedly jumping in place with the young pony jumping as well.

"It looks awesome Pinkie, Sunrise will love it."

"Well I had help this time, Cherry Pie helped me make it!" The pony behind Pinkie just tilted her head and smiled not saying anything.

Twilight recognized the pony from the picture she saw in Sunrise's room, "Cherry Pie?" Twilight asked.
Rainbow and Pinkie looked at her confused, "Uh Twi, she’s Pinkie's daughter, she was born only a year before Nocturne."

"I-I know," Twilight blushed "I was just going to ask her something," Twilight smiled awkwardly at the pony who was avoiding eye contact with the princess. "Why won't she look at me?"
Fluttershy suddenly emerged from the kitchen, "Oh honey!" Fluttershy said flying slowly over to Cherry, "You need to get over this shyness you have, she just wants to be your friend you know that," Fluttershy petted her mane trying to comfort the pony. "Sorry Twilight, she's even more shy than I was years ago. It's strange how she is like Pinkie and I, she's really nice once she talks to you, I'll get her to open up some day I promise," Fluttershy gave out a sigh continuing to pet the mare in her arms.

"Pinkie and Fluttershy had a foal how?! I can understand how me and Rarity did but Pinkie and Fluttershy?" Twilight thought trying to wrap her head around the situation.

"I know you will honey!" Pinkie Pie said being to nuzzling Fluttershy causing the shy mare to blush.

"P-Pinkie we have company and Cherry is right here!" The young pony was looking away from her parents blushing from embarrassment.

Rainbow Dash smiled and nudged Twilight "Well we should go and rest before Sunrise's party right Twilight?" Twilight just nodded in response. "The partys going to be tonight and 7 you three," Rainbow said with a serious expression.

"I know," Pinkie replied with a smile and I'll be there at six to decorate for you, I already have everything planned out."

"Good then we'll see you later," Rainbow Dash smiled and turned to the door Twilight following her after a few seconds.
