Baby ClothesView OnlineThe Pie FamilyBaby Clothes"Blegh, cough, uhh." The sound of throwing up could be heard from inside the bathroom. Fluttershy shuffled in place outside the door. The hallway of Sugarcube Corner echoed with the dull sound of customers below the floor. "Pinkie, the mall isn't going to stay open forever." She called out. She had to wait for the sounds to stop for Pinkie to respond. "I know that! You think I like doing this?" Pinkie huffed. She flushed the toilet and went over to the sink. She gargled some water and spit. Pinkie looked at herself in the mirror. She was huge. She was tired. And her hair had been deflated for a long while now. She shook her head, or would have, if it wasn't still sick feeling. Pinkie opened the door. Fluttershy smiled at her. She was wearing a floral bandana to hold her long hair back. It had been like that for a few years now. Pinkie really like it that way. She looked older and more motherly. Her own stomach was expanded as well. She was two months behind Pinkie. "Are you ready?" "Yeah, I think so." Pinkie hated waddling. She thought of this as she waddled down the stairs and waddled out the door. The swaying gait her step made her feel even bigger than she already was. It was a bright sunny day. The kind of day that normally she would love but now, she just wanted to stay home and curl up on her bed. She and Fluttershy walked through town to the open air mall down the street from the food market. Fluttershy waved at Applejack who was manning her cart. She happily waved back. Pinkie used to love taking walks. It was a chance to saying hi to everypony and ask how everything's going. Now they seem to avoid her. She sighed. Fluttershy looked worriedly at her so she smiled. It faded as soon as Flutters looked away to wave at AJ. Fluttershy and Pinkie were out buying baby clothes today. They were far enough along to start needing to stock up. She perked up once the clothes store came into view. She gave a half smile at the name, The Waddling Ling. It was a play on suckling, weanling and yearling. Pinkie ginned fully as she entered the store. The baby store was so cute! The light peach walls had shelves of items and pictures of foals. The shop floor was filled with soft clothing on tables and little toys in bins. The patterns on the clothes were all bugs and flowers and critters of all sorts. Pinkie smiled as she looked at a footed onesie with stars on it. The constellations and shooting stars were delicately stitched onto the blue fabric. "Are you sure Big Mac didn't want to come?" Pinkie turned to asked Fluttershy. "Yes, he has work on the northern fields. Ahh, this one has cute wittle bunnies on it!" She held it up, "Little Peter Cottontail. Hey Pinkie, have you thought of any names yet?" "Names? Well, when I was younger, I thought of things like Entropy or Dream Dust. But one night, we were stargazing and he told me how much he loves the Big Dipper. So, I guess Dipper Doodle? Corner Store if it's a boy." Pinkie giggled. "That sounds nice." "I wonder what the baby's personality will be like, I mean the best party pony and the Master of Chaos!" Pinkie giggled. "Well it sure will be fun." Fluttershy answered. They browsed through the onesies and shirts. Pinkie picked back up on the conversation when she saw one with happy rocks on it. "Oh, I got a letter from my sister Blinkie yesterday!" "You did?" "Yeah, she was asking how everything was. We've been talking a lot lately. It's so much fun." Pinkie sniffled, "I miss her and Inkie. And Maud too!" Fluttershy walked over and gave her a hug. "Don't feel so bad. It'll all work out." "How can you be so sure? Nobody likes talking to me anymore. It's surprising I still get booked for parties." "Silly, that's because you're still the best party pony around." "I AM NOT SILLY! I AM FREAKING HUGE! "Pinkie suddenly yelled. She calmed down the next second and blushed. "…I…I’m sorry for that…my mood swings are a little out of control lately…heh…" Fluttershy recovered and smiled softly, "It's fine. You should have seen it when I used the stare on Big Mac after he asked me where the paper towels were." "Really?" Pinkie laughed. Fluttershy blushed and continued looking at clothes. The stores attendants had been looking at them but now went back to their work. They had long since gotten used to outbursts like that. It came with the territory. Pinkie and Fluttershy finished looking through the onesies and were cooing at some little booties. Fluttershy found a butterfly toy but it only remind Pinkie of the twin's old one, so she laughed. Pinkie made sure to get as gender neutral as possible with the clothes. But it was hard as there was such a cute dress with polka dots. She looked through the toys again and found one that looked like a Chineighese dragon. It was so cute! She decided to get it. They finished shopping and made their way out. Pinkie felt better as they walked towards home. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash was down the street. She and Pinkie weren't on good terms still. Pinkie tried ducking her head but RD saw them. She walked straight over. "Pinkie." "Rainbow Dash." "Buying baby clothes? Why do you even bother? They probably won't fit whatever it is anyway." She said, disgusted. "Just go away Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy stepped up. "What? I'm just telling the truth. He's not coming back for you, Pinkie. Give it up. He doesn't want his foal." She lying. He wants us. "I don't think this baby is any good." She spoke maliciously. Rainbow flew up and poked at Pinkie. Pinkie held back the tears as best she could. She needs to be quiet. She doesn't get it. She doesn't understand. "I think it's great she's pregnant. She's going to be a great mother!" Fluttershy defended. "You honestly think she's worthy of having a foal? That hilarious! I have a better shot." She landed in front of them again. Maybe..maybe she's right. Maybe I'm not meant to be a mother. "I couldn't be happier. Her due date is two months before mine!" "So what? Does that suddenly make you two bonded or something?" Pinkie flustered. She hated this. Why could they all just be supportive? "Oh shut up Dashie. You're jealous because you will never feel the happiness of been a mother." Pinkie lashed out. RD looked taken aback. She twisted her blush into a veil of anger and flew off. "Pinkie." "I'm fine. Let's just go home." Rainbow Dash has never been much of a friend anyway. "Are you sure you're okay?" Fluttershy asked as she stood outside Sugarcube Corner. "Yes, it's just mood swings. I think I need to lay down too." Pinkie smiled reassuringly. "Okay. Call me if you need anything." "I'll be fine. If I need anything I'll just ask Mrs. Cake." "Please?" "I'll call if I really need you. Okay?" "Thank you." Fluttershy walked back towards home. She's been living between the Everfree Forest and Sweet Apple Acres for about five years now. The location was a middle ground settlement of just about the only argument she and Big Mac have ever had. Such a worrier. Pinkie thought as she put away the clothes. She had set up a little nursery area in part of her room. It was the best she could do at the moment. Pinkie looked at all the stuff she's accumulated. She had to be prepared. Her due date was coming up but it always bothered her when asked about it. When? Well, it is the foal of Discord who is the God of Chaos. It could come out at any time and it's actually a bit scary. Anything could happen at any time, and it gets terrifying. But I will never give up on my foal. I will never let anything happen to it, even if it means sacrificing myself. It was only five thirty in the afternoon but she felt so tired. She was getting more like this as the pregnancy progressed. She waddled over to the bed and laid out on the covers. Pinkie laid on her side, looking out the window. It had been hard these last few months. AJ was as supportive as she could be but she was so busy around the farm. Twilight was happy for her but she's busy as well. Especially when it comes to dealing with the father. She was also up at Canterlot Castle these days so Pinkie rarely saw her. RD thought she was stupid for going through with it. She felt Pinkie wasn't good enough to raise a foal and only hopes it does well if it's a Pegasus. Pinkie still hurt from the earlier confrontation. But Rarity had been the worst. It was a disaster. After Pinkie had told her, Rarity slapped her and stopped communicating with her. Pinkie missed Rarity. Talking to her, hanging out over tea, seeing all her new designs. The only times Pinkie saw her anymore was across the street. Pinkie sighed and turned away from the window. She rubbed her swollen belly. I miss Discord. Author's Note How far along Fluttershy's foal, boy or girl?
Off We GoView OnlineThe Pie FamilyOff We GoThe early morning light came in through the window. Pinkie was staring at the ceiling. Some would think it strange considering who she was, but thinking made her feel better. It usually brought up happy memories of friends and family. It was calming. Pinkie thought about how she had been talking a lot with her sister Blinkie lately. It was one of the few happy moments nowadays. She always relished in the Monday mail call. It meant a new letter. Dear Pinkie, Hello. Dear Blinkie, I am so happy to hear from you! How are mother and father? Oh, and Inkie? I miss you all so much! Dear Pinkie, No one loves me…..they only care about you, Maud and Inkie. Dear Blinkie, We're sisters forever. Me, you, Maud and Inkie. I'll always be here for you three and I hope we'll never be apart for too long. I hope for nothing but the best for you three. Dear Pinkie, I wanna hug. Dear Blinkie, I really wish that I was there for you two when it gets rough. Dear Pinkie, I wish we never fought. Dear Blinkie, It's good to hear from you again so soon. Dear Pinkie, Would you ever harm your own foal? Dear Blinkie, Well, it is a Pie family tradition. Dear Pinkie,We'll always be sisters. Dear Blinkie, Always. Pinkie chuckled as she thought of parts of their exchanges. It felt good to be talking to her again. They had fought when Pinkie moved out and continued to have a tense relationship for many years. Until she had sent Pinkie a letter one day, saying she missed her and asked how everything was. Pinkie indulged in writing her the details of her life. At the very least, her foal had an aunt to look forward to. How is this baby even going to turn out? Pinkie thought of the time she spent with Discord. It was like floating on air. Sometimes literally as they both laid on candy clouds talking about nonsense. Pinkie sighed and rubbed her belly. The first time. Only just once. Like on a wedding night. It was so gentle too. Pinkie and Discord had only done the deed once. Before his new royal duties at Canterlot pulled him away and she left for Ponyville. She had been so scarecited. Both excited and scared. Shortly after Twilight’s coronation, maybe a month or two, Pinkie was requested at the castle. Wondered about why they wanted her there after what happened at the Gala. It turned out Discord asked for Pinkie. Twilight had been confused yet she still let him see her. Pinkie Pie entered Discord’s sleeping chambers where he had wanted her to go. As she stepped in, her face began to redden heavily and a small drip of blood trickled down her nose. Discord was splayed across the bed, exposed. He then proceeded to babble about how he needed to have some fun, and how she was the only one who was good enough for him. But, Pinkie being the mare who had been attracted to Discord beforehand, she had been enveloped in his body. It was simply beautiful. But, she was snapped out of her fantasies and felt her heart leap out of her chest when Discord leaned into her face and whispered with a smirk… "I want you." Pinkie sighed at the memory. They had separated before she found out she was pregnant so he didn't know there was a child. But everyone else did. They had all congratulated her and asked about a baby shower. Until they asked who the father was. Then it turned cold. No one looked at her the same way. It was so lonely. Luckily the Cakes and a few others like Fluttershy stood by her through it all. She still lives in her room above the shop. They joke about the twins having a new sibling. It had happened so fast! Discord told me that he wanted me, we…you know…and here we are! Pinkie almost laughed at the thought. So fast, but she loved him. She loved every moment they had together. She regretted never telling him how she felt. There was a knock at the door. "Pinkie! Fluttershy's here to see you!" "Okay!" Pinkie sat up in the bed. Fluttershy with walked in. She smiled at Pinkie and sat on the bed. "How are you doing?" "Better. I was just thinking about stuff." "Like what?" "It all..huh. It all had happened so fast. I don't know how I thought it would end. He's there, I'm here." "Pinkie," Fluttershy put her hoof on her shoulder, "I think you should tell Discord that the foal is his. I think for something as important as this, he’d want to know and be there for you both." "What? Fluttershy." "It’ll be good for you both." Pinkie looked down at her blanket, "I don’t know if I can, Fluttershy. What if he’s gotten bored with me?" Fluttershy pulled her into a hug. "I don’t think he did. I’m his friend and I know that he only gets bored with objects, not ponies." "I know, I know, but…I can’t shake the feeling that something’ll go wrong." Her voice was so small. "I’ll come with you if you’re worried." Pinkie looked up, "Really? You’d do that for me?" "Of course." Pinkie smiled wide and hugged her friend. It felt good to be excited about something again. Instead of just worrying all the time. They let go. "Are you in love with Discord?" Fluttershy suddenly asked. Pinkie blushed red and answered in a dreamy voice, "Hopelessly. That’s why I’m so scared, I don’t know if he still wants me." "He will! Now I have to go home for a bit to tell Big Mac. I'll be back later and we can go to the train station." Pinkie picked at the dirt as she waited for Fluttershy. She was outside Sugarcube Corner with a light suitcase. "Hey Pinkie!" It was Zabchan. One of the few ponies that still talked to Pinkie normally. They had been friends for a while now. "Hey." "Where are you off to?" She poked at Pinkie's suitcase, "Not running away are you?" "No. I'm off to Canterlot." "Are you going to see Discord? Awesome!" "Thanks." "And hey," "Yes?" "I just wanna say I think you’ll be a wonderful mother! You already have some experience with the Cake twins and all the foals in Ponyville already love you!" Pinkie's face lit up. "And, one of own other friends, you know Angle? Or 'Prince Nightlight' as he likes to be called." She rolled her eyes, "Said he'll kick Discord's sorry butt if he messes up." "Thanks for the offer but I don't think that would be needed." Fluttershy said as she came into view. "Well, he also gave me this to give you. It's some sort of magic orb. Just crush it if you need help." Fluttershy took it, "We’ll be sure to hold onto this. "I'm just so happy about this." Zabchan said. She was bouncing on her hooves. "I’m happy too, Pinkie. I was so worried that you were just going to keep this from him." Pinkie turned her head away, "I was actually thinking about that. I was just terrified of him rejecting us, me and the baby. But, with you guys’ support, and Angle’s magic orb, I’m sure things will turn out fine." "Well it’s good to see you be so positive about all of this. It's been a while since you've cheered up." "Thanks guys." Pinkie picked up her suitcase. "I hope to see a wedding soon!" Zabchan called out as she left. Pinkie smiled. "I hope so too!" "Come on Pinkie, we've got to go." Up on a cloud, Rainbow Dash watched them leave. I guess Zabchan’s right. Pinkie is a caring person, and good with foals. She’s also terrified of rejection, which is all I’ve been giving her. I need to apologize soon. Author's Note All the OCs that appear are people who interacted with the blog.
Train of ConversationView OnlineThe Pie FamilyTrain of ConversationThe oranging scenery pasted by them in watercolor blur. There were screen shots of still landscapes for a moment before being obscured by the nearby trees. Pinkie felt the rush of air coming though the window. Her straight hair fluttered back from her face. The air was crisp and smelled of the dust from leaves. She loved this time of year. The fire in the trees gave the sunset and rise a golden glow. A lake of blue reflected the yellowed leaves in its water. A river passed under them as they mounted one of the many bridges up the mountainside country. Pinkie rested her head on a hoof. She thought of maple syrup and the cool air in the mornings. Of lunchtime crafts with fallen leaves. The evening would bring harvest vegetables and tea on the balcony. Squash and melon tasted good with a light black tea. Fluttershy remained silent in her own thoughts of crisp apples and cider. The Apples' Applebucking season was coming fast. Soon, Big Mac would be gone from early in the morning to late in the evening. He bucked until it was too dark. The days were getting shorter but it was still light out well past suppertime. She wondered how much help the foal would be once it was old enough. Would it be a lighter, frailer pegasus like her? Or a strong, study earth pony like its father? The train ride remained rather quiet until Fluttershy's bag began to shake and buzz. She jumped and reached into see what it could be. It was the orb. It was making radio static noises. In a moment, a voice started to come in clear. Hey! It's Angle. "Angle? How are you talking to us?" Well, this orb has many features to it. I can communicate with its holder and the surrounding ponies. It also has a special edition to it who ever holds the orb is granted some of my power such as teleporting, flying, shooting lasers from any appendage and x-ray vision. It also makes anypony tell the truth. How awesome is that? "That is pretty impressive." Fluttershy said. She wasn't so sure what they could be needing lasers and x-ray vision for, seeing as they were just going to see Discord. But it was convenient to be able to talk to him. "I’m sure that Dissy can help me do those things too. It’s really cool!" Pinkie said. She was fascinated by this turn of events. Who is Daisy? If she is as powerful as me, I would like to meet her! Maybe me and her can go a few rounds in the ring, you know, see who is more powerful?" It has been a while since I had a real challenge. Pinkie laughed hard, "No, I call Discord 'Dissy' sometimes. It’s like my own little nickname." Oh, okay. Hey, Zabchan wants to talk too. Hey Pinkie! "Hey there." Was the sex good? Fluttershy blushed deeply, "What!?" Zab's manic laughing could be heard over Pinkie's own laughter at the unexpected question. "AMAZING!" She blurted out. Stupid mood swings! Fluttershy glared at her when something strange happened. "Pinkie…did you just get…bigger?" She was ignored as Zabchan asked, Ha! Sorry, I just felt like you might need a tension breaker. Anyway, it's going to be a while till you get there and I've had a few questions on my mind recently. "Oh really? Sure, ask away." Do you ever think about what Discord might look like as a stallion? Pinkie thought on it, "Actually no. I think he is beautiful the way he is and I don’t ever want him to change." Angle's voice comes through, Can you hear me? Oh good, so are you excited or is it just me? Wow I am so excited, ponies might mistake me for you! So any thoughts on your big speech to Discord? Zab was a bit miffed at his shoving his way in. Her voice filtered through as well, Have you thought about how you're going to tell him? What you're gonna say? "I guess I’m just going to flat-out tell him. It seems like the easiest way." What has Discord even been doing? When was the last time you guys were at the castle? Zab asked. "I heard he's been training. And I haven't been there since I last saw Dissy." "I haven’t been there since Twilight’s coronation." Fluttershy said. "I've been meaning to meet Celestia. Hold on. That's it. It is getting too cramped in this orb. I am coming out." He pops out of the orb. "Oh my Celestia, it was so cramped in there. You don't kind if I tag along with you two so I can meet her?" "Of course not!" Pinkie said. "Sure you can, it’s no trouble." Fluttershy added. "You were in the orb?" Pinkie was a little confused. "Well, yes and no. It's like looking through a telescope. Only with your whole head in there, metaphorically. It felt very cramped so I used it as a passageway." "Oh, cool." Hey, I'm still here! What kind of 'training' is Celestia and Twilight giving Discord? Zabchan said. "Well, Twilight is teaching him about things with table manners and such for royal gatherings and formal dinners. Princess Celestia is teaching him about royal things in general. She’s teaching him about the weather and how it works, how to make certain things with his magic and basically how to really control his chaos." Pinkie said. Okay, good. If all goes well with Discord, you’ll probably want to live together when the baby comes. Would you prefer that he moved to Ponyville, or would you be okay moving to Canterlot? Pinkie shrugged, "Well, while I’d like to keep my job at Sugar Cube Corner, I’d be perfectly willing to move to Canterlot if asked to." Nightlight(Angle) frowned, "I wouldn't give too much high hopes, Z-chan. Discord might be reformed but all we know he is still the master of Disharmony. I would bet he would just like to mess with ponies minds. At least that's what I think. Pinkie here might think differently." Fluttershy shook her head, "I don’t think we need to worry about Discord being evil again. I am positive that he is perfectly reformed, and besides, he trusts me and Pinkie. I think we’ll be fine." She smiled. He nodded his head. A wicked smile came on his face, "So, was he gentle with you or did you tell him you were the ruff type?" Pinkie's face was on fire, "G-gentle…he was my first, after all." She bumped him with her shoulder. He bumped back, "I know he trusts you but under the circumstances I think we might want to be on guard, just for safety. You know, I kinda sound like Twilight for a moment there." Pinkie and Fluttershy laughed, "We’ll be sure to remember that." They talked about random topics for the rest of the ride. "Did you know that when mare is pregnant, the looks or attractiveness is increased exponentially?" "You’re really too sweet…" "Hey Pinkie Pie! Do you see the Cantorlot train station yet?" Nightlight asked. "Yeah, and the train’s stopping. Let’s go to Dissy!" "Here Pinkie, let me help you off the train." Angle grabs Pinkie's stuff and gently helps her off the train. "Oh, thank you!" "Oh and don't let me forget about you Fluttershy." He grabs her by the hoof and gently leads her off the train. "How kind of you."
What NowView OnlineThe Pie FamilyWhat NowThe group walked down the streets of Canterlot. It was a crowded day at the market. Nobles ate light meals at cafes. Shop keepers welcomed guests and showed them their wares. Pinkie looked excitedly at a shop window that held a crib. It was so cute! They continued down towards the castle. Until Pinkie's stomach growled. "Oops. Sorry, I was too nervous to eat." "That's fine. I was hungry too." Fluttershy said. "Let's stop somewhere then." Angle added. They walked to an off street. It had a few shops and a pretty looking dinner. They sat down and ordered food. Pinkie rubbed her arm. Angle started to talk. "Okay, this is it the big event. You're going to tell Discord about your baby and I'm going to see Celestia. Who's excited and a little nervous because I surly am?" He rubbed the back of his head. Pinkie shook her head, "Well, my head is pounding, my stomach is swirling, and my legs are shaking so bad I can barely walk. I’m still so excited though!" She took a long sip of her water. "Let's talk about something lighter." Fluttershy said. "Okay, hey Fluttershy, is it hard flying around with a baby in you?" Angle asked. "Pegasi females are born to fly under any circumstances." "Oh that's neat. And convenient." The food came and they ate in silence. It was very tense for all. Once done, they made their way back towards the castle. "Hello! Guards." Pinkie called out. "Yes? Oh! Ms. Pie, what can I do for you?" the guard asked. "I'm here to uh, see Twilight." Pinkie chickened out. "I'll take you right there." He and another guard walked with them. They were escorted from the gates to the castle. The guards lead them through the castle to a doorway. "Now, Pinkie wants to speak to Discord alone. Right?" Fluttershy asked. "R-right." Pinkie knocked on the door. "Yes! Who is it?" Twilight called out. Pinkie smiled and couldn't help call back out, "Hello, your Highness? It’s…it’s Pinkie Pie." Twilight's delighted voice came through, "Pinkie! Come in, please!" Here we go… Fluttershy held back Nightlight. "But I want to ask where Celestia is?" he whined a little. "Wait, before we do anything too important, let’s let Pinkie talk to Discord, okay? She needs to be alone for a bit. Plus, I believe I saw Princess Celestia in the gardens." "Oh okay. I sure hope everything will go okay. Sometimes I worry about Pinkie Pie." "I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Let's go. Um, guards? Can we go to the gardens?" "Yes, mam." "Okay so Fluttershy, tell me about you and Big Mac. How did he react when you told him that you where preggers?" "Well, we are married. He was shocked, but happy." she said as they walked off. Nightlight and Fluttershy made their way outside the castle to the gardens. "That's wonderful. Hey, do you have any great ideas if everything goes right and Pinkie Pie and Discord get married?" he asked. "Hm…well, I could maybe help with the wedding. I could ask a few favors of Big Mac and Applejack to lend us the farm. I could handle the food, and maybe…well, it’d have to be confirmed, and we’d have to listen to what Pinkie wants. But, I’d be really happy for her if Discord asked her to marry him." She smiled. "Hello Pinkie! It’s been months! How have you been?" Twilight walked over from a pile of books. The room looked like a sitting room or lobby. There were books everywhere. "F-fine. Can I s-speak to Discord please?" Pinkie rubbed at her leg. Twilight stuck out her lip in thought, "Well, we’re working on his dining skills at the moment but…okay, anything for a friend." She smiled wide. "Th-thank you. Wh-where can I find him?" "The dining hall. It’s the door behind me. He should be there, okay? And come visit when you're done! We should catch up." "O-okie dokie l-lokie. Excuse me." She walked past Twilight who went back to her books. Pinkie entered the dining room quietly. Her breathe stuck in her throat. There was Discord. He looks…frustrated. I wonder if he’s bored… Discord sat scowling at a finely set table. He hated manners. He hated sitting still. He rolled his eyes at the tableware and sighed at the neatly folded napkin. It was all so, so, neat. It was boring. So Boring. But he had to learn how to be all proper and what not if he was to stay. It was one of those conditions of living in the castle. He can't be messing with the stuffy old nobles or joke around at dinner. He was a member of pony society now. High society too. But his brain felt on fire. Is this what insanity was like? His chaos pouted and clawed to get out. He had to remain calm. He had to resist turning the swan napkin into a real one. Or simply alive. Alive will do. NO! He thought. Damn it all. I will remain here! I will come to understand just what is so special about sitting so stiffly and knowing why a million different spoons are a wonder reserved for those with enough leisure time to make up. His resolve cracked as he thought about all the stupid reasons for this. And how to make fun of it all. A noise made him turn towards the door. Was it Twilight again? No, it was Pinkie Pie. His heart fluttered for a moment and his own thought of the last time they met came flooding in. Discord was sitting at his throne, bored with his lessons and Canterlot. He remembered that being royalty sucked apples, and how much he needed some entertainment. He had requested to Twilight that he wanted to see Pinkie. He didn't have much of a plan at first. But as Pinkie entered the castle, Discord got the perfect idea. When Pinkie’s voice reached his ears, he only felt his plan become better. It was a supposed fling! Maybe a fun party or prank later. He was bored! But eventually he couldn’t get Pinkie off of his mind. He kept thinking about her hair and her eyes and how she laughed at his jokes. She liked him. She liked his work. He kept thinking about her and he soon realized him might be in love with her. When did that happen? He would moan to himself. And there she was. The object of all his stray thoughts. "Well, if it isn’t my favorite mare. How have you been? It’s really been too long." He played coyly. "Yes, it has, and I’m actually here to say something. It’s really important…" She said nervously. She walked further into the room. For a moment, his heart dropped. Here she was, pregnant. That was too clear. But then he felt a flicker. One only he could produce. It was a mix of chaos magic and pony form. His heart soared. Him? A parent! He had to keep it cool. "What, that you’re pregnant and that it’s also mine? That you came all this way from Ponyville to inform me on this, even when you should have beforehand?" He charmed. He walked over to her. "I…I…" Her hair inflated to full volume. "Just a guess." he stroked her hair. He tried to think of what to say next. She's pregnant! He's going to have a foal! "How in pony hell did you guess that right?" Nightlight said as he walked in. Pinkie looked shocked to see him there. His confidence shuttered and he looked down, "Sorry Pinkie. I got worried and came to see if every thing was all right." "Discord doesn’t seem too surprised…" His orb was floating in his magical grip and Zabchan's voice called out. Pinkie's face burned like a light bulb. She wasn't sure about what exactly. Discord laughed hard. His nerves gone away, "I’m sorry…haha!…if I seem rude or anything, but…I’m…hehehe!…not surprised because…I’m too excited for her due date! It’s really…soon!" His smile gleamed across his face. What a wonderful surprise!
It's Here and NowView OnlineThe Pie FamilyIt's Here and NowNightlight looked at Discord's smile with worry, "Pinkie, would you like to do the introductions and excuse me for shouting but WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S CLOSE TO HER DUE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!" He started to panic and wonder if he should go get Fluttershy, where ever she is now. The orb sounded out as well, Oh man, I'm excited to hear Discord’s explanation for that one! Discord calmed down and only chuckled, "Her due date? She never had one. You’ve only been calling it that. She’ll be in labor in about ten minutes." "That doesn't explain anything!" He yelled, "But I guess you can explain later. Right now we need to get Pinkie to a hospital, so she can give birth. Now if you be so kind as to MOVE YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!" Discord laughed again, "Oh, to be young again! Anyways, Pinkie doesn’t have to go to the hospital. There’s a choice involved here." Nightlight pulled at his face, "Nothing ever changes with you does it. Okay, let's hear it." "Pinkie could let me just snap my fingers and bring out the baby with magic rather than doing it naturally." He said nonchalantly. Pinkie stood there in fear. Ten Minutes? And she has to make a huge choice! Zabchan called out, "So how in the world did you find out about the pregnancy before Pinkie told you, Discord? Also, can Discord explain why Pinkie’s belly seemed to get bigger when she thought about him?" He pulled himself together and gave his best 'I know more than you, silly mortal' speech, "I know Pinkie too well to not know what was going on. That, and I am the Master of Chaos, I can just know." He boops Pinkie’s nose. "As for her belly, it was a coincidence that her stomach grew bigger when she thought of me. It just meant that the waiting time for the foal was over." Pinkie tried to take it all in but suddenly felt a pop and it was like she was urinating or something Did…did my water just…break? A pain tore through her. Pinkie gave out a cry. She screamed more as another tremor went through her. This wasn't at all like the doctor said it would! No early contractions. No notice or nice little hospital room. It was like she was being torn in half. She fell on the ground. Discord ran over to her. She immediately grabbed his horns when he got close enough. He was miffed a little as she pulled on them. "Oh frick no. Quick Discord! Do something. I can't believe I just said that. Oh what the hell, Discord just do something or you're gonna experience the miracle of birth right in front of you." Nightlight was full on panicking. Pinkie yells, "DISCORD! Do something, please! Ahhh! This really hurts, I’m scared!" She pulled him closer. "Do you want me to do the magic thing?" He said through her fur. "YES!" "Just hurry. CELESTIA, TWILIGHT GET IN HERE! GUARDS, DON'T JUST STAND THEIR MOVE YOUR ASSES." Nightlight continued to yell. Zabcahan yelled out over Angle, So, Discord, if you KNEW she was pregnant with your foal this whole time, why didn't you ever talk to her about it!? She’s been so scared and sad because of your silence…how could you be so callous to the mother of your foal!? Discord could feel a light panic set in as well. He yelled at Nightlight, "We don’t need them, I’ve got this under control." "Oh my Celestia! This hurts so much!" Pinkie cried and began wheezing. Discord pulled himself away from her and held her face, "Pinkamena, I need you to calm down. It’s important that you do. Also, Zabchan, I only knew now that she was pregnant. I didn’t know that she was depressed! If anything, I thought she was happy about everything, even being away from me. I did this to her with for the wrong reasons, and I wish I had been wiser when I had the chance." He had turned to her and admitted the truth. Now…I need to keep her away from any more pain. He snapped his fingers. Loud crying from an unknown rang through the room. Pinkie felt relieve fill her body. The pain that was there was gone in an instant. Only a strange ghost of it remained. She looked down. Her arms were weighted down. A squirming little filly looked up at her. Pinkie sagged. The sensation of the world came back to her. The cold hard floor. The big empty room. The light from the windows. The little filly had a gray coat with a curly pink mane and tail. Her eyes are blue and her bat wings are a dark purple. Her little horn looks like Discord's antler. Her body is like that of a pony’s. "Thank Celestia the baby's alive. Oh and it's a girl isn’t it." Nightlight had come around and was looking over her shoulder. Discord felt too happy to speak. "It…it is a girl…" She sobbed. Pinkie looked at Discord, "What should we name her?" "Maybe…Lullaby." he suggested. "It’s beautiful!" she smiled. D'awwww Lullaby. Can't wait to see more of her. Zab said. Discord moved over to the table to gather his breath. It was all so crazy. But he was the master of random, crazy stuff! He smirked to himself. How wonderfully chaotic! He turned around to look at Pinkie and his heart filled with a strange rage. The other stallion was holding the new foal! "Oh my god! She is so beautiful. She's gonna be a great pony someday." He cooed. Discord floated the baby out of the colt's arms and ran over, "Just who the hell are you anyway?" "Ehhhhh…" Nightlight leaned away from him. He was saved as Futtershy and Twilight ran through the door. "Pinkie! Discord! The foal’s name can’t be Lullaby!" "Why not?" Discord put his hands on his hips. "What?" Nightlight commented. "It’s really important! It just can’t be Lullaby!" "It has to do with an alternate future! I was looking up..." Twilight started. "Oh good grief! Another one of your weird pony, 'the future is doomed' things." Discord threw up his arms. "Fine! It's not Lullaby." He walked over to Pinkie and put her in his arms. He walked off, not caring about the rest, to his room. The rest stood there wondering what to do next. Twilight was miffed but happy. "Um, so..I hope Celestia and you have been treating Discord well?" Nightlight asked, breaking the ice. "Huh, oh yes! We've been treating him well enough." She shrugged. Discord got back to his room and laid down on his couch. Pinkie and the foal were all wrapped up in his arms. "Didn't you want to hear Twilight's explanation. About why is Lullaby not an option? And why did you suggest it to begin with?" Pinkie asked. If Lullaby can’t be the name, I suggest Ambrosia. Or Dispell. Or Cotton Candy. Or Silk Pie. Strawberry Shortcake? Strawberry Pie? Chocolate Silk? It turned out the orb had followed them there. Zabchan continued to list out possible names, Ooh how about Disbelief? As in 'Pinkie was in disbelief that she and Discord had made something so wonderful as that cute little filly without meaning to.' Plus then you get the ‘dis’ from Discord. Discord rolled his eyes at the thing. He contemplated smashing it. Disarray. Discolor. Discovery. Diskette, hehe. Display... Discord cut her off, "I thought of Lullaby because I thought it was adorable. Clearly, however, a dark future follows with it. That’s why it can’t be an option, I guess." He shrugged. "All of the other name suggestions are so cute, and really creative, especially Disbelief. But I had an idea a little while ago that I forgot about." Pinkie said. "Oh yeah? What is it?" Discord asked. "Do you remember the night we first got together?" Pinkie asked innocently. "Vividly." Discord hummed. "Remember how we were looking out the window and saw the Big Dipper?" "Yeah. I told you how much I loved the Big Dipper. It always struck me as beautiful and elegant." "Well, I was thinking maybe we could call her Dipper Doodle." "Really?" He thought about it. "That’s actually pretty cute. I love it." "Thank Celestia, I was worried that you wouldn’t like it. Hey…I’m tired…" "Me too. Wanna take a nap?" She yawned, "Why not?" They relaxed into a light sleep. The black orb remained silent.
This is itView OnlineThe Pie FamilyThis is itThey slept for a while. Pinkie awoke to a wiggling on her chest. Her little filly was awake and restless. Pinkie tried to sit up. It alerted Discord and he pulled himself out of a doze. "It seems she's hungry." "Yeah." They got up and moved to the table in the room. It was low on the ground so Pinkie could just sit on the cushion on the floor. "Awww, how's my little Dipper Doodle?" She cooed. Dipper doodle? Hmm, sounds more of a male name to me… Plus then all the kids will tease her and call her 'Dippy'. How about ‘Ursa’ as in Ursa Major, one of the more formal names for the Big Dipper? Zabchan spoke up from the dark orb. It rolled over to them. Discord wanted to glare at her but she had a point. "And if you name her Dipper Doodle, people might think Cranky Doodle was the father." She laughed. Pinkie giggled, "That's weird Zabchan." "I think the name is a fantastic idea, Zabchan." Discord said. "Wow, that actually sounds really cute. Okay, we’ll call her Ursa Major, it’s settled." Pinkie was so happy! She snuggled with the filly. Thank Luna… Ursa thought to herself. Discord reached over and tickled at her though the blanket. "Aww. You are going to wreak so much havoc when you get older." He cooed at her. Pinkie giggled. So now that we have some downtime, maybe you two should start thinking about how life is going to be from now on…Discord, how involved are you planning to be in this foal's life? Are you two, oops, I mean three, gonna try living together? Zab asked. Discord smiled, "I’m planning to be in her life one-hundred percent. Pinkie and Ursa are now the two most important fillies in my life." He chuckles at his own little joke. "Also, if Pinkie is willing to, she can begin to live in the castle." "I’ll do it. Ursa needs her daddy, and she won’t miss out on a real family like I did." Pinkie said excitedly. "I guess it’s settled then!" Discord replied. Zabchan thought to herself, then spoke up, Pinkie, what do you mean ‘miss out on a real family’? You had two parents, a grandma, a Nana and three sisters back on the rock farm. Pinkie shifted in her seat, "Well, Grandmother died before I got my cutie mark. She was the kindest soul I knew, and so was my Nana. Though, Nana left when I turned eleven. She couldn’t handle the way my mother and father handled us three, though she tried as hard as she could have. Inkie and Blinkie weren’t really…happy that I got my cutie mark in that fashion. Maud didn't though but she was already moved out and just came for a visit that day. The party was fun at first, but afterwards…let’s just say that I was sore when I woke up the next day. Mother and Father began to lock me up in the shed every time I laughed, and wouldn’t let me out for hours. Maybe even days depending on how hard I laughed and what I laughed at. I ran away when I was fifteen and got on a train to Ponyville. I haven’t talked to my family in years, not that I honestly want to…Except! I have been writing to Blinkie lately. She's the only one who's reached out to me from those still on the farm. I do talk to Maud." Discord was taken a back by this. He had never thought that was what her childhood was like. She’s had quite a past…how horrid that such a bright and cheerful creature had to be raised by such terrible parents… Discord, do you have any family other than little Ursa there? Zab asked. And..Discord, how do you feel about Pinkie now? He chewed his lip. Should he say it? It was so soon. It was so much. He dropped a little at the question about his family. But, he bucked up and answers. "Of course I have other family, it’s Pinkie. I love her more than a stallion can love a mare, and that’s no lie. She’s my one and only." He smiled at her honestly. Her eyes glistened with happy tears. Okay, well, hey! Honesty-time question: Pinkie, how are you going to tell your parents that they have a grand-foal? Zab tried to cheer up the air in the room. Pinkie shook her head. "I’d rather not tell them. I don’t want them coming and being 'grandparents' to my baby girl when they couldn’t even be parents to me. Also…Dissy, do you think you can put me down please?" He had picked her up and held her after confessing his love. He reddened a little and put her down. I have another question. Has Discord ever expressed regret for what he did to everypony when he was first released from stone? As in, say he was sorry for trying to ruin friendships and cast the world into eternal chaos? Zab poked at him. Discord smirked and went to his casual, charming self. "Well, of course. Meeting everypony and becoming friends with them has taught me a lot. Pinkie especially." He winked. That's great! Quick, honesty-time: Discord, have you ever had feelings for anyone in the past? He rolled his eyes at all her questions. He knew it was for Pinkie's benefit but it still irked him a little. "Well, when we were all still best friends - Lu-Lu, Tia and I - I had the tiniest crush on Tia. I grew out of it decades ago." He waved a hand. Honesty hour eh? So, Discord, tell us in detail. What your reaction was when you found out Pinkie was pregnant? And, with absolute honesty; why didn't you ever try to contact Pinkie? Pinkie looked at him too. He shifted in his seat. "Well, Fluttershy was the one who told me. I got letter from her explaining the situation. But! This was back when Pinkie might have been pregnant. She wanted Pinkie to tell me herself, so I didn’t say a thing. I didn't get another letter from her or Pinkie saying she was. Had I known I had been hurting her, I would’ve contacted her sooner. But, it ended up all right. Right, Pinkamena?" "Uh, yeah." How does he know my real name? Fluttershy told him? she wondered. "Discord, how and when you figured out you were in love with me?" Pinkie asked. Discord looked surprised before schooling his features back. "Well, after the night we first got together, I looked at you. I don’t mean a three second glance, either. I stared, and got a really long look into your eyes. I felt myself being pulled away into a sea, right before the day begins. The world felt at ease, and I fell for you right then. But, to be honest. Well, since we are being all honest hour. It took me a long while to figure out I was in love with you. I just kept having you on my thoughts. It was rather annoying." He fainted annoyance. "So, Pinkie, when and how did you fall in love with the lovely, charming me?" Pinkie shook her head, smiling, "I don’t know, really…I guess when I learned that we understood each other. That we were the perfect force, I sort of fell in love with you. That was about…a year ago maybe?" "So, you fell in love with me, for me? Because we fit?" He was open in his emotions. "Well, yeah. I guess." She blushed. They had a light dinner as it was still evening. Afterwards, they thought it would be good to see how the others were doing. Pinkie was having fun talking to Zab about all the new things she was going to have to do, like move all her stuff from Ponyville. Ooo, honesty time: I require a detailed report on the night you two got together and what happened the morning after. I.e, did you wake up together, when did Pinkie go back to Ponyville, did you spend the day together? She teased. Pinkie went speechless. Discord started, "Well, I’d rather not go into detail about the night itself, but the morning after, we laid in bed for a few hours. We ate breakfast really quickly so Pinkie wouldn’t have to suffer from rumors and insults from being with me if the wrong pony saw the two of us. I teleported her home soon after." "Mmmm." Pinkie wanted to scold him but he hadn't told too much like she thought he would. Zabchan just laughed, Pinkie, if you ever got married. I bet it would be the BEST RECEPTION EVER, given that you are the queen of parties. What are some things you’d wanna do? "Geez…" Discord thought as the girls gossiped about a wedding. He hadn't even thought that far yet! Or asked! They entered the room Twilight had been in. The rest of the ponies were still in there. Just remember you two, no sex for at least a month after the birth! Zab couldn't help call out before floating over to Nightlight. "How did you guys even have sex? Discord is so much bigger then Pinkie?" Nightlight asked. Pinkie felt like her face was going to explode from blushing. Discord couldn't stop laughing. Fluttershy and Twilight looked embarrassed. Nightlight looked embarrassed himself. He tried to make up for it. "So, if Discord is living at the palace and getting ‘royalty lessons’, does that mean he has a title? Because 'Princess Pinkie' has a nice ring to it." "Hmm, maybe you should live in Ponyville after all. Then Ursa could have a more normal childhood… Although how normal a half-draconequus childhood can be I don’t know…Discord could set up a portal or something to commute to the palace when called upon." Twilight remarked. "While Discord is the perfect title for me, Princess Pinkie is perfect for her. We’ll think about it. Also, that portal idea is fantastic, we’ll definitely consider." Discord said. Pinkie grinned. Princess! Discord unceremoniously pushed some books off a table and sat on it, to Twilight's dismay. He also snapped up a seat for Pinkie and a basket for the foal. Zabchan spoke up, Now that Discord seems committed to being a good father, maybe soon you can start trying to patch things up with your old friends. You can use Ursa’s cuteness as a secret weapon. No one would be able to resist that adorable widdle face! Pinkie sighed, "Well…I don’t really want to face Rarity…she hit me when she found out I was pregnant with Ursa. I know that I can try to talk to Dashie. Fluttershy, Twilight, and Applejack are already okay with the whole thing." "Well, no matter what happens, I’m here for her." Discord reassured.
A Normal LifeView OnlineThe Pie FamilyA Normal LifeDear Journal! Ooo, I've still got to name you. It's been a while now since I've moved in with Discord. It's been a tornado of work! I had to go and get all my stuff from Sugar Cube Corner. The Cakes cried a little. Well, they cried a lot in total. It was like a bit of crying here and there. They were so happy to see my little filly. They were a little upset at the whole thing that happened with the delivery but they were so happy to see me okay and the baby safe and sound. The twins loved her! They smushed her cheeks and made funny faces for her to laugh at. They were a great help, playing with her while we moved my stuff out. Mr. and Mrs. Cake cried as we did this. And when we said goodbye. I'm going to miss them a lot. We promised to write and they'll going to visit when they can! I remember seeing Applejack before I left. She was so happy for me too. She wished me luck. I wanted to go see Rarity but, I was too scared. I did see Rainbow Dash. She apologized! It was amazing. She said she had been thinking about the whole thing and felt like a total jerk. She just didn't know how to feel. She was kind of scared that I had made a big mistake and would screw up my life. I cried as I hugged her. And she cried too! And she held Ursa. Said she thought it was so amazing. Me, a mother, having a little foal like this. I promised to try to write to her as well. I'm so happy here. I've got my own wing of the castle! Can you believe it? Discord said that since we live in the west wing! It reminds him of Beauty & the Beast, his favorite fairy tale. How cute! Oh! One last thing before I go, Fluttershy's having triplets. I'm so excited! Love, Pinkie Pie Princess Pinkie Pie! Dear, Write Joy (my journal's new name) I had a bit of an argument with Discord. Well, more like a really sad talk. It went like this. Discord are you immortal? I asked today. He turned around and said, Yes. Woah, that’s so cool! I never thought about it…HEY! Do you think you could make me immortal? That would be awesome! We could be together forever and…! No! He suddenly yelled. Why not? I’m not doing that to you. But… We’re not going to discuss this again. Then he stalked off. I felt myself sink a little. Why…why doesn’t he want me to live forever? Does he not want to be with me forever? I did get a little bit of a happy surprise. Little Ursa escaped her blankets and flew on my back. She's getting so big already! She was born in September. It's getting late in October now. Love, Pinkie I sat with my head on the table. Zabchan had wanted to visit me today. I was happy to be seeing old friends but today I felt as flat as my hair... "Have you asked Discord more about it? Since he's immortal, has he considered what he’ll do when you eventually die? Do you thing Ursa will be mortal or immortal? Will he outlive his own foal?" Zab asked. They had talked about other topics before she felt brave enough to ask what she really wanted to. Pinkie huffed out a sigh. She pulled some of her hair back from her tea and took a sip. "That’s why I want to be immortal, so he doesn’t have to go through that. Also, I want to spend an eternity with him because I love him more than anypony else. Also, if we’re lucky, Ursa is immortal, like Discord. He should never see her die." She frowned, shaking her head. Zab nodded. She looked around the gardens. The colors were changed and the fall plants had settled in. The wind blew chilly at times but the sun was still out and bright. "So, Ursa can fly already!? Wow!" "Hehe, like a boss." "How fast do draconequui foals grow compared to ponies?" "Well," Pinkie rubbed her chin, "Ursa definitely has more of the pony anatomy, so hopefully she won’t grow too fast. She's already shown so much skill. She's always making me glasses of chocolate milk and offering it to me. I can't say no!" She laughed. "I can try but she gets all sad. Ha! I'm never going to lose the baby weight this way." "Totally. So, I was wondering, depending on how many ponies know who the real father is. Maybe Discord could disguise himself as a stallion when you go around introducing little Ursa to the ponies of Ponyville or Canterlot. Or when he needs to do things as her father, like take her to school eventually, or the doctors. Just to maybe make life a little easier?" She paused for a moment then added, "You think you’ll be sending Ursa to public school or homeschooling? Or a private Canterlot school?" "Well, as far as Discord changing himself, that’s not happening. He shouldn’t have to hide himself for any reason. Also, I wish it was easy to choose what type of school, but Ursa needs to meet some friends. She deserves more than I got as a filly. She’ll most likely be going to a school, but whether it’s private or not, me and Discord will have to decide." Zab nodded her head. They ate some of the sandwiches and refilled their tea cups. Pinkie felt fancy with the castle's dishes. She had run down to the kitchen and asked the cook for the sandwiches. He had wanted her to ask a servant to carry it all out but she declined. She wasn't that much of a Princess! She sipped at her tea. Fluttershy had sent her a satchel of her favorite berry blend. "You guys gonna name Fluttershy as the godmother?" "Of course! She’s been there for me for so long, it’d be shameful not to!" Pinkie said. She was so happy to have Fluttershy. She's still living in Ponyville now but makes time to come visit. They write each other just about every day about every thing and plan to give their foals plenty of play dates together. "You two are gonna spoil that filly rotten with sweets and chaos." Zab laughed. "Of course we are!" "Oh, I was just thinking the other day. Ursa will be such a handful with all her powers and what not. So, on the plus side, if you three live in the palace, you can get servants to help with Ursa." Zabchan teased. She liked to mess with 'Princess' Pinkie. Pinkie gave a face that said 'Ick'. "Thanks, but no thanks. I’d rather raise Ursa with Discord than have some strangers do it." She gave a shutter. "Ha! Well, you think about it when she's running around turning things to goo and you hadn't sleep in who knows when." She said, "On that note, does Celestia pay Discord? How are you gonna pay for all the things Ursa will need? Or ruins for that matter." "Well, I can conjure anything at any time. But, maybe Pinkie can get a job in the castle bakery, because Celestia doesn’t pay me. Though, Ursa shouldn’t bring too much financial trouble, right?" Discord had appeared while they were talking. "Ease dropping on me?" Pinkie flirted. "Me? No, I'm just passing by with our little one." Ursa popped out on top of his head. Zab squeed at her cuteness. "Be gone with you. This is a private conversation." "Fine, fine. I'm going." He leaned down to give her a kiss before walking off. Pinkie waited until he was fully out of sight before sighing. Zab pursed her lips. "Pinkie, even if you had Discord and Ursa to keep you company. Immortality is a terrible burden. Imagine watching your sisters, and all your friends, and all their children, and all their children’s children die while you never change? Of living so long that you forget their faces and all the good times. To be left only with the faint knowledge that there is something important you've forgotten?" she started, "Perhaps the wiser solution would be to have Discord become mortal somehow. To grow old with you and follow you to the Great Here-After one day. So that neither of you ever take a single day together for granted. Knowing that your time is limited; secure in the knowledge that out of all other beings in Equestria, you have chosen to spend that precious little time with one another." Pinkie kept shaking her head as Zab spoke. Her eyes watered up. "…that…that’s a chance I’m willing to take…being immortal. I honestly don’t have much left here, and Discord is the only one I want to be with. If Ursa Major wants to be mortal when she gets older, then she can. It’s her choice, and this is mine." Dear Write Joy, I don't know if I felt much better after talking with Zab. But I do feel more resolved in my decision. After that day, I went with Ursa to a fair near the castle. The 'psychic' there looked in her magic crystal ball and said she saw me having six kids. Six! She also said she saw them breaking a bunch of stuff. I could only imagine. I know for sure that when we have more of those foals, they won’t be breaking anything. I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to stay here if they do! I had also realized on my walk around the gardens, that I'm the first of my friends to have foals. It's so weird to think about. I never saw myself as the first one. I was thinking that maybe I could help guide them through the experience, but then again, my pregnancy was far from normal! I think it'll be better just to leave it to Fluttershy. Love Princess Pinkie Dear Joy, OMG! The greatest thing ever! Zab's going to babysit my little foal so me and Dissy can go on a proper date! I'm so excited. Update: Can you believe it? She showed up in full body armor and padding like some sports player with a wagon of treats for Ursa! I wonder what was going through her head? Anyway, me and Dissy are going to have some fun in Ponyville for the weekend. Nightmare Night is coming up soon. We'll also planning to see the Running of the Leaves in November. It's going to be nice seeing everypony again. Love Pinkie
A Little FunView OnlineThe Pie FamilyA Little FunPinkie looked through a catalogue of Nightmare Night costumes. She wondered what she and Discord should go as. The usual couple outfits ranged from corny to sexy to down right tongue in cheek. Pinkie looked out the window and thought about a conversation she had with Flutters the other day. She could go as Harley Quinn and Discord could be The Joker. She had thought about going as Batman and Robin but that seemed so cheesy now. The Autumn air was in full swing. It was still early but most of the leaves had abandoned their green color by now. The wind sent them flying into the street below. Pinkie loved this spot in the wing. It had a great view over the castle walls to the street outside. Ponies walked up and down, greeting each other, buying food and items for Nightmare Night. Canterlot had a much more formal version of the holiday. It was less trick or treating and more big parties with invites. Only the lower end still participated in the candy hand outs. She wished it had more of that homey feeling she got in Ponyville. The decorations had too much of a matching, organized look to them. It felt distant and intangible. Not like the homemade or cheap store bought ones of a small town. Pinkie continued to lean on her hoof when a thought came to her. She grinned and ran off back to her bedroom. Where is it? I know I left it here. Where? She thought as she rummaged through her closet. The Autumn leaves had her reminded of an outfit she made one day for a play by Fluttershy. Ten minutes later, she had pulled out half her closet. She had paused to hang up a maid outfit by the rack next to the wardrobe. "Okay…fox suit wins. Seems like the right time to bust it out." She said to herself. Pinkie strutted in front of the mirror. She looked herself up and down. It still fit great! "Say hello to this Nightmare Night’s cute little vixen!" She wore an orange fox outfit complete with eared hood and a tail. Only a strand of her bangs hung out of it. "What is in Equestria is that dress hanging in your closet, Pinkie?" Zabchan asked as she walked in. She had come over to watch Ursa. Pinkie blushed heavily. "It was a maid dress I asked somepony to make for me for when Discord and I were ready to have sex again!" She giggled madly. "Ooo, naughty. I bet it'll match his." They both started to laugh. They eventually calmed down and Zab looked closer at Pinkie's outfit, "Aww, I bet Ursa would look so cute in a matching outfit. It'll be her first Nightmare night as a little kit. Too bad she's too young." "Yeah, come on. Let's go get Discord." They walked out of her room and toward the playroom. It was across the parlor. "But still, a maid outfit? Oh la la, I want to see Discord's reaction when he sees you in that." "Stop it you!" Pinkie's face when red again. "Oh, you’re going as a fox? That’s pretty cute." Discord said as they entered the room. He sat on the floor with little Ursa. She was happily knocking over a tower of blocks that rebuilt itself. "Yep!" "Well, Zabchan, we’re heading off now. It was nice seeing you, and we really hope that Ursa won’t be too much to handle." He walked over to Pinkie. "Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. I came prepared!" She joked, remembering the first time she came over to babysit. "We’ll be back in three days, we hope you enjoy your stay here with the foal." "It's going to be great. Have fun!" Pinkie angrily walked down the street of Canterlot. The sight of fancy decorations sickened her. Discord eyed her warily. He could understand her anger. They had gotten tied up by multiple ponies asking about Ursa and royal gossip which ended with them missing their train. They had gotten a few invites to parties but they were nothing Pinkie and Discord were into. It was all so stuffy and superficial. "I could just snap us there you know." he suggested. "No! It's all ruined. The whole evening. I just want to go home and see my foal." "Pinkie..." She gave him a sharp glare. He swooped in front of her. "Would you accompany me on walk through the gardens then? Or maybe we could find a little haunted house?" "Their kind of haunted house could only scare some pony like Rarity. Let's go home and watch a movie. I want to get this outfit off. It's hot and itchy." He frowned at her. There was a knocking on the door. Zab got up from the floor and walked over to the main door. "Yes? Uh, hey Pinkie!" she had opened the door to see a seething Pinkie and an unhappy Discord, "But I thought..." "Nevermind, I changed my mind. I can do that you know." She walked past Zab. "Um, huh?" she asked Discord. He shook his head. "We missed the train and yes, I could snap us there but, well, I think Pinkie's just scared to go back. It could be the only reason for this." "Oh, okay. Well, what are you going to do now? You were supposed to be gone for three days." "I don't know. I might drag her out tomorrow to a beach somewhere. For now, I'm going to make some popcorn. Let's put Ursa to bed and find a good, scary movie." He rubbed his hands together. The next day Zab played with Ursa. The little filly could already conjure up toys and move them around. She smiled at her. Discord had managed to drag Pinkie to that beach he was talking about the night before. Everything was calm and peaceful in the castle now. A whiff of air blew by her face as a box flew away. Ursa giggled. Now where did I put that fencing mask? Zab wondered. Author's Note This is a pic from the blog of her outfit. And you're probably wondering why Pinkie was looking at a catalogue the day of Nightmare Night? Well, with Discord being able to snap anything up, she can afford to wait last minute and have him snap her an outfit.
That's itView OnlineThe Pie FamilyThat's itLuna played with the little filly. A song from a music box played in the back ground. It was late at night and the child was just as energetic as her mother in the day time. She flew around the air. Her long pink hair looked like she could trip on it if she walked. She flew in circles through rings in the air. Luna smiled. To think it had been almost a year since Pinkie and Ursa moved in. It was too good to be true. She thought back to the way Discord's face filled with surprise as the filly's first word was 'Daddy'. Now, she could talk in complete sentences. She was advanced for her age. It was due to her heritage of magic. It would still be another month until she'll attend school. The parents had decided to send her to Ponyville. Though, in truth, the filly had wanted to go. Discord wasn't sure at first, thinking she should go to Celestia's school, but the filly had insisted. Pinkie was all too happy to let her go there. Pinkie was most excited to have her filly befriend the foals of Fluttershy. They were the only ones of their friends to have kids at the moment. Pinkie worked as Celestia's personal Baker now. Luna laughed at the thought of how happy her sister had been to get such a talented cook. Discord stayed out of politics for the most part. They bored him too much. He still enjoyed messing with her and Celestia during his free time. And there was the rare occasion that he did try to 'spice' up a boring meeting. But, not too much. He wanted them to continue living in the castle. Luna sighed. She had been left to babysit the foal many times as the parents went on a 'date' to their room together. She wondered how they hadn't already give the child a younger sibling by Hearth's Warming. Though, it did seem they were thinking more heavy on it as even Ursa enjoyed the thought of a little sister. Ursa conjured up a few toy birds to fly with her. During the times she's left alone with her father, he takes care to teach her how to master her magic. She could already do so much. The little filly flew down to Luna. She smiled and rested in her arms. It was time for bed. It was a couple of days later that Pinkie woke up to sound of Ursa calling for her. Seven a.m. She groaned. "Mom! Dad! It's school! It's my first day! Get up or we'll going to be late!" Pinkie rolled her eyes. They would get there just on time. She still needed to fix up breakfast and pack a lunch. Discord groaned as well next to her. She pushed his shoulder. "Come on, get up." "Nooo..." "Come on, I'll make break fast." She walked over to her dresser and yawned. She pulled out a brush and fixed her hair. It was the first day of school for Ursa. She hopped as they walked down the road to the school house. Discord had teleported them there just a few moments ago. The red building came into view. It's school!
