It is almost a year later. The time is here for what had been enjoyed and a birth is imminent, I knew since I had been there, they had confirmed it even though my Pinkie sense had already told me, which is why I had been up and about, thus meeting them.

Now, I knew it should have been at least a week remaining to the delivery. Yet, knowing my Pinkie senses, the signs were clear, she was apparently due later today. I had learned to trust my senses blindly, in part because they only work properly when I trust them, besides, I had ruined a perfectly happy day for Twilight over the matter, at least once. No point grabbing for what you know isn't going to come, while grabbing for it?

Knowing time, I had bounced out of Sugar-Cube Corner early. Though the first I met on my way out is Rainbow Dash, what a coincident? Yet it is convenient.

“Would you summon our friends? Tell them to be at Ditzy's home as fast as they could?” I just informed her.

“Since you're the poni saying it. Whatever for? I guess I better hurry?” she then responded, somewhat confused since we had not exactly had a reason to go there, and en masse at that?

“You'll see when you get there!” I merely told Dash, who flew off without hesitation.

Knowing Dash, she is fast, so even if she is dragging her wings in the mud, she would still be there before the rest of us.

Now, since I had this in line, I turned towards the next on the list, the Zebra known as Zecora. The problem is that she lives, where noponi wanted to go, me included. Who'd go there voluntarily, for no reason? It is the darkest of all places, for all I knew.

Yet, in this case, I felt it was wise to have Zecora on the spot, thus bounced off, eagerly giggling. I'm the element of laughter, I had been told while still a little filly, it was the way to handle fear. I did live up to it.

Following the dark and forsaken path, shadows looming right and left, the giggles were all standing between me, and anything I was happy never to see, feel or in any other way experience. Besides, it was feeling like a merry time, even if I felt a pain coming on, if not mine.

I had managed to get to the spot, and her hut sure stood where I knew it was to be. Thus I stepped forth, knocking on her door.

There was sounds, a voice chanting? Mumbling, incoherently sounding words I couldn't grasp. Then the door came up, and her face is outside.

“And what may you need, is it urgency of speed?” she just blurted out in her usual rhyming and sing-song voice.

“It is a birth, with which your help may be required. It is a sense I can't put my hoof on, it is just screaming out for help!” I responded.

With that she was slipping back into her hut, picking up what she thought may be of use, before she hasted out, leading me back, out of the forest, as I bounced after her.

Once the forest was cleared, I take the lead, showing her where it is, where she may be of great assistance. Finally making it, just in time, just before Dash had rounded up the friends, thus leading them to what I had urged her.
