Don't Call Me Adorable!

After the air had cleared, and the emotional high passed, we kind of just sat on the couch together. Mom and Twilight both looked contemplative, but neither spoke.

Until one did, obviously.

"Twilight. What does you being a princess mean for the rest of us? What does that make me and Scribble?" My mom asked seriously.

Twilight pointed to me. "She's going to be a princess." Then she pointed to mom. "But you are going to be a duchess." She then gave it a moment to sink in. A princess... "I still have to tell Spike about me getting married. He's only my adoptive brother, but he might have to move back to Canterlot. Wow." Twilight looked stunned, but mom and I were still trying to wrap our minds around being peers of the realm.

"Twilight... if Spike needs to stay he can. I'd actually just assumed that." Twilight smiled in relief. "I know you told Celestia about this, but is she up to date?" Twilight nodded in confirmation, but froze as a realization struck.

"She's waiting for news! I mailed her this morning, but... she. Oh my gosh, I need to tell Aurora too!" Twilight began to look panicky.

"Then let's call them!" Mom answered with a grin. It was a nervous grin, but she had her head on her shoulders. Twilight visibly calmed down, and she gave mom a sheepish smile.

"Thanks love... I should go do that now!" Now Twilight was excited. I'd honestly expected more of a panic. Twilight just dashed to our living room phone and began dialing a number I didn't know.

I should mention that now a panic had begun to build in me. I was just now realizing how little mom and Twilight had planned ahead, and that frightened me. Twilight was just now thinking about where her brother would live? Mom and Twilight were perfect for each other, but that was absurd!

"Hey... mom?" That was Twilight on the phone. She sounded nervous. That was understandable. She was telling the ruler of Equestria and her mother that she was getting married, at the same time. "She said yes." There was a loud squeal and Twilight dropped the phone in surprise before sheepishly picking it back up. "Mom? Yeah I'm still here." There was a pause. "You don't need to do that! We'll come to visit so-" there was a loud thumping from above and Twilight froze in fright or surprise.

It was obvious the source of the noise.

"Hello my little future daughter in law." That would be Celestia.

"H-hello mom." Whispered Twilight

"H-hi your highness." Stuttered mom.

I said nothing, but you already knew that, didn't you?

"Twilight... I'm gonna need a moment alone with Miss Winter. You don't mind do you dear?" Twilight shook her head no, but found courage enough to say, "Don't hurt the mare I love, mom." Then she ushered me out. At first there was silence. Then laughter. Then singing. Twilight kept turning to rush back in, but never did. After a while there was giggling, both from my mom and Celestia. It was half an hour later that Princess Celestia and my mom stumbled out of our living room.

And there was Rainbow Dash. I have no clue how she got in, but she exited with the rest of them, and all of them were laughing.

"T-Twilight!" Celestia gasped out between giggles, "Aurora and I would like to interview miss Scribble." This surprised both Twilight and I, but I was too curious to panic. Twilight looked ready to object, but my mom just lifted up a hoof to stop her.

Curious indeed.

-=-

Celestia and Rainbow Dash pushed me in the door after securing a tenuous approval from my mom and Twilight. The room was well lit... everything seemed normal.

"Scribble, you understand that whatever happens here stays here, yes?" Celestia's voice was ominous, dark. What where they going to do to me?!

Frightened, but awed by Celestia and Rainbow Dash's presence, I nodded.

I hardly knew what hit me. Before I could blink I was across the room and covered in blue. Rainbow Dash was squeeing. Everything was ringing. Rainbow Dash was cuddling me.

Wut

Da

Buck!

Why was Rainbow Dash cuddling me? Why was Celestia laughing her flank off in the corner? Fantasi!

Everything comes with a price Scribble.

... Shut up.

See ya later Scribble! You are now on your own kid.

Fantasi! No... darnit.

Rainbow Dash was still cuddling me. On her head was a horn... a horn... Rainbow Dash was Twilight's sister! She-she was an Alicorn... Holy Fantasi... She was cuddling me! Her hooves were warm.

"Sorry about this squirt, but I've been pretty pent up. Scootaloo is just so cute all the time, but I can hardly cuddle my Fanclub president can I?" Rainbow Dash had a-hey wait a minute! Why did she choose to cuddle me? "So... niece, ready to be cuddled more than you ever have in your life?" My heart fluttered a little at "niece," and that robbed me of my opportunity to say no.

I was trapped in Rainbow Dash's hooves as she leaned her head down and nuzzled me. She was warm, like a slept in blanket, but her nose was cold. Every time it touched me I felt my coat jump, but this just made Rainbow Dash laugh,

After a while Rainbow Dash paused to, I assume, let me catch my breath. To be honest, she squeezed a little tight when she hugged me. When I looked up I was stunned. Rainbow Dash had a horn! That hadn't really sunk in, and I was busy thinking about Twilight's wings when she mentioned it. Twilight said that a Rainbow Dash refused to learn any spells is that-

OH DANG THAT'S COLD!

"Mom you said I could cuddle her!" Rainbow pouted as she clutched me tighter.

"I never said you would do it alone Aurora!" Celestia teased and went back to nuzzling me. I started to pinch myself. I knew it was real, but this was just getting absurd. This was... Fantasi!

Everything has a price Scribble.

Fantasi!

You're on your own filly. Fantasi teased as her voice faded away.

And so the cuddling continued. Rainbow Dash kept squeezing me and nuzzling my face, and Celestia nuzzled and cuddled against my back. There noses eventually warmed up, and I even began to feel sleepy. When I looked back up at the clock it had been a whole hour.

I felt my body freeze in shock. I had just been double teamed by royalty for a whole hour... NOT LIKE THAT BRAIN!

As was par for course, I felt my wings stretching against my will, useless dumb things that they were.

"Why Scribble, we didn't cuddle you there!" Rainbow Dash teased mercilessly. That got Celestia laughing, and this is what mom saw when she stepped into the house. She started laughing, and this got Twilight stepping back into the house. Twilight understandably looked like someone had dumped a bucket of confusion on her face, but gave her full attention when Celestia cleared her throat.

"Twilight," Celestia began in a official sounding voice, "I hereby give you my express permission to marry Winter Radiance. Heck, I encourage you to do so!" Twilight's confusion melted away into what could only be euphoria and relief. Out of the corner of my eye mom pounced on Twilight and the two hugged each other and giggled in celebration.

Using the moment to sidle up to me, Rainbow whispered, "aunts get to cuddle their nieces whenever they want Scribble." It was in a obvious teasing voice, but at the same time I knew she would do it.

Then Celestia appeared at my other side. "Grandmothers too," she whispered before throwing me into Mom and Twilight's hug. Celestia and Rainbow Dash jumped in after me.

-=1 hour later=-

Celestia had left for princessy things, but mom had surrendered a few slices of pizza to Rainbow Dash. Sometime in the past while one of them had started a conversation.

"So Rainbow, how's Scootaloo?" Twilight inquired carefully. Was it a loaded question?

"The papers haven't gone through, but Celestia assures me that they will approve my request." Huh, this was new to me. What was Rainbow Dash talking about?

Mom nodded appreciatively. She was in on whatever Rainbow Dash meant. "It's not easy, but from what I've read, those fillies need love more than anything." No!... She couldn't mean...

"Yeah sis, you've definitely got that covered. And if things don't turn out than me and Winter could maybe try to help." No!... I mean sure, Club President was an orphan, but ... that lucky filly!

I pull back and realize just how ironic that last thought was. Here Scootaloo was getting adopted by Rainbow Dash, but Twilight was going to be my mom... We'd be cousins in law.

"It seems we can't keep anything from Scribble." Twilight remarked off hoof. She was looking down and staring mirthfully into my my eyes. "Speaking of Scribble, Rainbow Dash, would you mind teaching two fillies to fly?"

Rainbow Dash nodded a yes! Today was the best day ever! I had... it was... There were no words for the emotional high I just hit.

This couldn't be real. This was one of those dreams you never want to wake up from, but forget come morning! This-this was just going to hurt me. I was going to wake up and be back in Espa. This... this... Twilight was real! I had to remember that. Twilight. Is. Real.

This is really happening.

Wow.

I wasn't sure what I had done to deserve this.

You stayed faithful.

Fantasi?

You remained faithful where so many became bitter. You kept your promise, and I upheld mine.

Fantasi this is far beyond what we agreed! I'm beyond thankful, but this just... I have trouble comprehending it!

Scribble, even the immortal feel lonely. We might even feel it stronger than anyone else. You've been here for me, when so much else is just madness. In turn I've worked hard to give you the best that I can grant. There will be costs, but I swear to there for you as you stay for me.

Fantasi... Whoa. I never realized that you felt that way.

No one does, but you are the one who came closest.

Fantasi, I just had an idea.

I can see it Scribble, but not yet. I'm not ready to feel the mortal realm directly. I can't forget about those who came before you.

The offer stands Fantasi, but I think Twilight and mom are saying something.

"So Scribble, you do realize that you have to go to school tomorrow?" That was mom, and no I hadn't. I admit that, at that moment, school was the least of my concerns. I shook my head no. "Scribble, it's been long enough. Tomorrow you go to school with the rest of the foals." I was about to confirm something, but then Twilight took on this funny look.

"Scribble. I should send Spike to school with you! He's old enough, and he's smart enough. Plus, it'd be a way for you to get to know him better!"

Oh snap.
