The Naming Game

Marble was so excited that her and Nite were finally engaged, it was 3 weeks till their double wedding with Gene and Fluttershy, in the meantime however, she was naming her future kids after colored gemstones,along with Maude, Limestone, Pinkie, and Cloudy.

"First, there's Ruby..."

"I like rubies, they're so shiny!", exclaimed Pinkie, bouncing up and down.

"Then Citrine..."

"Orange is so dull...", Limestone laughed.

Maude looked at her before saying, "I find orange rather refreshing."

"Oh, and Topaz..."

"Oooh! I love Topaz!", her mother smiled.

"Peridot, which is a lime green, is my personal favorite...", smiled Marble, "and Tanzanite! A nice shade of blue."

"Baby blue? That's my favorite blue!", Pinkie.

"It would depend...", Nite smiled, taking a seat next to Marble, as he and Igneous came in from fixing the silo.

"Amethyst, Alexandrite, Aquamarine, Emerald!", Marble grinned, getting a little carried away.

"Umm, honey...I don't think we could have that many kids...", Nite said jokingly.

Marble looked sadly at the floor, before he added, "But we can try."

She brightened up again, "And Fancy Diamond, Garnet, and Lapis Lazuli! Moonstone, Morganite, and Opal! Oh Nite! I want to have a million children!"

"You're going to have a lot of little troublemakers then.", her father smiled

She sighed and fell into Nite's arms before going on, "Paraiba, Pearl, and Rubellite! Sapphire, Spinel, and Tourmaline!"

"Dear, you only have two gemstones left.", Nite smiled, kissing her cheek.

"Is that so?", she grinned, kissing him back.

"Turquoise and Zicron. That is, unless you want to start naming our children after random rocks.", he replied, taking a sip of Rock juice.

"I think I'm done, we'll be busy with 24 sets of hooves and paws running around anyway.", Marble giggled as Nite choked on his juice when she said 24.

Igneous and Nite looked at each other for a second before Igneous said jokingly, "Good luck, soldier! You've gone beyond the point of no return!"
