The Magic of Motherhood (Motherhood is Magical Collab)

                “You can’t catch me!” Surprise giggled, as the pegasus filly flew along the ceiling of her home, trying to evade her mother, Pinkie Pie.

                Pinkie Pie wasn’t too far behind, and surprisingly enough, she didn’t seem at all out of breath. She just continued to chase after her daughter, all the while saying “I can, and I will! You can’t get away from the tickle monster forever!”

                “No tickle monster! Me run away from tickle monster!” Surprise replied, flying ever faster.

                 “Well, one thing’s for certain,” Pinkie Pie thought to herself, as she chased her daughter all the around the house “She certainly inherited my energy. But she can’t match my special skills!”

                 Surprise rounded a bend, convinced that she had lost her mother, and that the chase was over. Breathing a sigh of relief, she let down her guard, and began to descend. Her father wouldn’t be home for a little while still, but he’d made it clear in no uncertain terms that he didn’t like his little filly flying all over the place. A line of argument that her mother had enforced quite heavily.

                  But, just when Surprise thought she was safe, who should pop up from a nearby jar but her mother?

                   “I got you now!” Pinkie Pie shouted playfully, as she grabbed her daughter by the tail and held on for dear life.

                   Surprise tried her hardest to flap her wings, and take off, but alas she had spent all her energy trying to get away earlier. She had no energy left to fly again, at least for right now. “Of all the times for my mother’s energy to fail me, it had to be this time!” she thought to herself, as she was finally brought down to the ground.

                   “Well, it looks like you’ve been a very naughty filly!” Pinkie Pie said to Surprise, as mother and daughter eyed each other “And you know who comes to visit naughty fillies like you?”

                    “Mommy, please, have mercy!” Surprise pleaded.

                    “Too late, here comes the tickle monster!” Pinkie Pie giggled, and began to relentlessly tickle her daughter’s hooves.

                    Surprise tried her best to resist, but she was unable to keep herself from bursting into fits of laughter “No fair! You cheated!” she said, in between laughs.

                    “All’s fair in love, war, and tickle games!” Pinkie Pie replied, as she rolled her daughter onto her stomach, and blew raspberries onto her tummy.

                    “Stop it, please! I’ll do anything, anything!” Surprise pleaded, as she laughed herself silly.

                    “Not until you promise to stop flying inside the house, young filly,” Pinkie Pie said seriously “Your daddy and I care about you very much, and we don’t want you to get hurt. Not to mention, we’re getting pretty tired of cleaning the hoofprints from our ceilings.”

                    “But I love flying, it’s so good! It makes me feel free!” Surprise replied.

                    “You can fly all you want outside the house, as long as me, your daddy, or somepony we trust is there to watch you,” Pinkie Pie told her daughter, as she finally eased up on the tickling “Okie dokie lokie?”

                    Surprise sighed “Okie dokie lokie.” she said, admitting defeat.

                    “Good. Now then, you know what I wanna hear!” Pinkie Pie said with a grin.

                    Reluctantly, Surprise looked her mother in the eye and said “I Surprise Swiss Pie ‘Pinkie Promise’ not to fly inside the house at all, and not fly outside the house without a trusted adult to watch me. Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”
