Waking up was never a chore for Dustin. It was a slow process, but one she enjoyed precisely because she was so rarely alone in it. A hoof brushed her cheek, and without a thought she kissed the frog and smiled.

The room was mostly still, and the large bed three ponies lay on twitched moment to moment as one or another of them moved. Light streamed through the curtains, Princess Celestia only having just raised the sun for the day had barely gotten it above the horizon. The covers were loosely draped over the three ponies tangled together on the bed.

Dustin could tell by the shape of the hoof that it was Night Light's. After her kiss she nuzzled at the harder part of the hoof playfully. "Today's her big day."

Lips touched Dustin's, but they weren't Night Light's. Twilight Velvet was an amazing kisser—so said anypony who had the experience to know. She put emotion into every movement and every flex of her lips. Dustin tried to catch up to Twilight's skill, to put more of herself into each kiss—and she felt she was improving after thirteen years of wonderful practice.

Twilight Velvet appreciated the work Dustin had put into her kisses. "Good morning," she said when they finally broke their lips apart. "How early do we need to leave?"

A brush along Dustin's belly made her muscles tense in anticipation. "I think we have enough—"

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" a filly with blue coat and a darker blue mane said, pronking into the room. A swirling ring of stars adorned each of her flanks.

The feeling of arousal was banished as quickly as it stirred. Dustin felt her daughter jump onto the bed and start bouncing. "Good morning, darling. Where's my hug?"

Dust Off launched herself at Dustin and hugged tightly. "You're all awake?"

"We are now." Night Light leaned across Dustin and Dust Off to give Twilight Velvet a kiss on the cheek.

"Do I get a hug too?" Twilight Velvet asked a moment before Dust Off landed on her. "Wasn't there something we had to do today?"

Having seen this game before, Dust Off kneeled up on the bed with her forehooves planted on her hips. "You know today's when I start school at Celestia's!"

Dustin tried in vain to hold in a giggle at the earnest and forthright manner Dust Off used. "I thought this was your first day at Canterlot West School?" A look to Night Light earned Dustin a wink from him.

"Oh yes. Our little filly has her first day of school with all the other little foals," Night Light said.

"Noooo! This is big-filly school!" Dust Off began bouncing on the bed for effect and to show her parents this wasn't a joking matter. "I'm going to Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns!"

"Really? But you're just a little filly!" Night Light managed a look of shock for his daughter's benefit.

"Daaaad!" Dust Off jumped and landed beside Night Light. Once beside Night, she began bouncing in place. "I'm a big filly!"

"I'll make breakfast," Dustin and Twilight said at the same time, causing them both to break out into giggles.

"We'll both go make breakfast, it seems," Dustin said. "What about if you try to persuade your father that your a big filly by helping?"

Dust Off's eyes lit up and she bounced off the side of the bed. "Breakfast! Breakfast! Breakfast!" she chanted with each pronk after her mothers.

Night Light was thankful his two lovers had made the excuse for him. Pulling down the covers, he did his best to not think of the things he wanted to do with them before Dust Off had come in. "This is your fault, Night. Come on, just relax."

Downstairs, Twilight and Dustin kept Dust Off from investigating Night and his morning wood. Pancakes were the first order of the day. Dustin used her wings to mix up the first batch, had Dust Off pass the mixed bowl to Twilight Velvet, and Twilight started pouring out the mixture into the two fry-pans she had.

"How many eggs?" Dustin asked.

"Two!" Dust Off said, her voice overflowing with eagerness.

"And how much milk?" Speaking out the side of her mouth as she held the whisk between her teeth, Dustin was the picture of domestic bliss. Her left wing reached for the milk while the right offered Dust Off the measuring cups.

"One and fwee quarters!" Dust's horn spluttered only a little as she levitated two different measuring cups up. She squealed in surprise when Dustin poured milk into both—doing her best not to spill any.

"Into the bowl with them. Can you get the caster sugar?" Dustin measured the vanilla out herself and dropped it in the bowl to mix in with the milk and eggs.

"We have some special visitors coming for breakfast, Dust," Twilight Velvet said.

A moment later there was a knock at the front door, and a thunder of little hooves heralded Dust Off's rush to answer it. "I got it!"

Dustin looked across to Twilight Velvet and smiled. "We didn't have time, did we?"

"A mare can hope." Twilight Velvet turned just in time to see Dust Off open the door to a princess, her prince, and their little colt. "Dust, invite your nephew and siblings in."

Staring up at the Princess of Friendship, Dust Off made careful note to close her mouth from how it gaped. "Mom said you can come in." She squeaked in surprise when a purple magic field wrapped around her and levitated her into the air. "Mom! I'm flying!"

Twilight Sparkle stepped into the house and had to focus to keep her wings folded by her side. "Good morning Mom," she said to Twilight Velvet, then turned to Dustin, "and Mom." As a princess, and being related to Dustin now, Twilight Sparkle knew how old her new mom was, but it was hard to pin seventy years of life on a mare that didn't look middle-aged yet. Not that she wasn't happy to call Dustin mom, particularly once Twilight Sparkle saw how big a smile Dustin put on her parents' faces. "I brought someponies to say hello."

"Dustin, Missus Velvet." Belay moved with the confidence of years spent as a stallion, having to learn on his hooves as his relationship with Twilight Sparkle had built. His eyes watched as Dust Off floated through the air, and if it weren't for him spotting the bag of caster sugar tipping the breakfast might have been ruined. "Whoa!"

"I've got it. Thank you, Belay." Twilight Velvet floated Dust Off's sugar into the kitchen. "Breakfast's on the way. Please sit and relax. Was it a long ride on the train?"

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Night Light was satisfied he wouldn't induce any heavy questions and made his way down. When he saw Twilight Sparkle, his little filly, he lost all his composure. She stood proud and tall, her mane waving in an unfelt wind. When she turned to face him, Night Light lost control completely and approached his eldest daughter and pulled her into a hug.

"Dad! Good morning." The hug felt a little wrong to Twilight Sparkle. She reached down to hug her father, the stallion who had always seemed biggest to her. Even when she stood up to Sombra, and then Tirek, part of her had assumed Night Light was bigger than both of them.

"Good morning, Twily. How's Ponyville?" Night Light asked.

Squealing as she landed on her hooves, Dust Off turned to face the other foal in the room. "Hi Shining," she said to Shining Starlight.

"Hey. You're starting today too, right?" Shining Starlight looked at Dust Off, then at each of her parents. Spotting which of the trio were Dust's biological parents was easy enough, but he knew that already. His own fur was light green, and he sported a darker green mane that was parted at the front by his horn. He looked nothing like either of his parents, but he had the family stars on his flank in a half-circle.

Dust Off couldn't stop herself from pronking in excitement. "Of course! Isn't it exciting?!"

"I guess. When do—" Shining cut off and spun around when there was a knock at the door.

"Now. Who could that be?" Dustin reached down with a wing and pushed both foals toward the front door.

Dust Off marched ahead of Shining Starlight. It was her house, after all. With her horn sputtering a touch despite her attempt at steely focus, she flung the door wide and gasped.

"Well, look here, the two most awesome little mages in Equestria." Wearing her armor after her morning guard practice, Flurry Heart had her helmet under one wing. "Who wants to go for a fly?" She looked over Dust and Shining's heads to nod to Twilight Velvet, Twilight Sparkle, Night Light, Dustin, and Belay—only some of the most powerful unicorns and alicorn in all Equestria. "If it's okay with your parents?"

Dust Off started vibrating in place in excitement chanting, "Aunt Flurry!" as loud as she could.

"Don't take too long," Dustin said. "These pancakes will be done in about five more minutes."

Shining Starlight had managed to suppress his excitement far beyond his normal efforts, and surrendered to the moment. "Eeee!" he said as he followed Flurry and Dust outside.

"You certainly named him right, Twily-dear." Twilight Velvet used her magic to keep working the stove while she spoke. "If our little Shiny could have, he would have sprouted his own wings and flown."

"How's Shiny and Cadance doing?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "I haven't had a chance to see them since Hearth's Warming."

Twilight Velvet gave Dustin a significant look, and nodded.

"You didn't hear it from me," Dustin said as she whisked the pancake batter with her wings, "but I think Cadance's sides might be looking a little wider than usual, and I'm sure it's not from eating too many crystal berries."

Twilight Sparkle giggled in glee. "Shining always wanted a big family."

"If Shiny wants a big family, he only needs to visit here a little more often." Twilight Velvet floated out two plates of pancakes and served them to Belay and Twilight Sparkle first. "A little birdie whispered to me that my wife might be looking to have another foal herself?"

Dustin gasped. "Who, me?" She put the latest bowl of pancake batter beside the stove for Twilight Velvet to cook. "What makes you think I want another?" Despite herself, Dustin was smiling—of course she wanted another foal.

"Then it's probably the best time to tell you," Twilight Velvet said, surreptitiously looking around the room. "I'm—"

"Mom?!" Twilight Sparkle had to teleport herself across the room—nothing else would be fast enough. She pulled Twilight Velvet into a tight hug, then used one wing to snag Dustin and the other Night Light—pulling them into the hug.

"… pregnant." Twilight Velvet had given up being surprised that both her foals that had grown up were bigger than her, but being caught in a hug by her Twily, and finding that there was so much hug that Dustin and Night were caught up in it too, was surprising.

"Twilight," Dustin said, managing to breathe somehow in the loving hug of an alicorn, "that's wonderful."

Night Light nuzzled and kissed both his wives, raining attention on them with all the enthusiasm he could manage. "T-Twily? A little room dear."

"Oh!" Twilight Sparkle drew her wings back, and stepped back from her parents. "Does this mean you won't?" she asked Dustin.

"Another foal shouldn't be a problem. Right?" Dustin asked.

Twilight Velvet didn't hold back from kissing Dustin with all the desire and warmth she could. "Never."

Flurry Heart felt naked without her armor. Ever since her dad had gotten it for her at the start of the year, she had worn it everywhere. Princess Celestia had been strict, though. She lifted her head as their big group approached the familiar school. Flurry had been attending for three years now, and this was her fourth.

Turning to the foals at her side, Flurry Heart leaned a little closer to them. "See Princess Celestia up there?"

"No. Everypony's taller than us," Dust Off said.

Shining Starlight, the memory of flying on Flurry's back still at hoof, jumped at her side and scrabbled with his hooves to get up. "Oh! There she is!"

"Where?" Dust jumped after Shining, only made it halfway, but got a hoof-up from her nephew. "There she is!"

"Well, come on then!" Flurry narrowed her eyes and took off through the crowd at a gallop with two squealing foals on her back.

Turning at the last moment, Princess Celesta energized her horn and caught Flurry Heart, Dust Off, and Shining Starlight before they collided with her. "Princess Flurry Heart. I'd say something about galloping in the school, but we aren't inside yet. I see you've brought me two new students."

Flurry was about to say, Yes Princess Celestia, but remembered (for once) the myriad requests from her regarding names. "Yes, Celestia. This is Dust Off, and Shining Starlight."

"You're supposed to call her Pwincess Celestia!" Dust said, admonishing Flurry. "Mom said so!"

"Yeah!" Shining Starlight said in support of his niece (or aunt, he wasn't actually sure).

"I asked her to call me Celestia, and that goes for both of you, too." Princess Celestia almost buzzed with delight. Welcoming new foals to her school was just about the best thing in all Equestria for her. "Do you think you can do that?"

"Yes Princess Celestia!" Dust and Shining said at the same time.

Flurry Heart, however, just giggled.

Just beyond the crowd gathered around Princess Celestia, Night Light turned to Dustin and nuzzled her cheek. "You mentioned wanting another foal?"

Dustin kissed Night Light's jaw. "With you and Twilight? Absolutely."
