The mare who laughed

Twilight nursed her now two month old son, Dusk Shine. Once she had finished feeding him, she placed him in the playpen and wheeled over to the crime reports on her desk.

Dusk Shine levitated two teddy bears over and whined for his mother to play with him.

Twilight chuckled, "You take after your mommy don't you?" She took the teddy bear in her magic, making it dance, cartwheel and pirouette over the piles of toys. Dusk Shine made his teddy bear tumble and crash through the the toys. She wheeled over to the playpen and lifted her son in her hooves. "if you keep up at this rate, you're going to be just like mommy and join Celestia's academy at the age of five." She then tossed Dusk Shine into the air a few times making him squeal and giggle with glee, catching out of the air for the last time, she blew a raspberry on his belly making him squeal with laughter as he kicked his limbs around.

After a few hours of playing with Dusk Shine, Twilight nursed him as Shining Armor and Cadance came into the room. Dusk Shine stretched out his forelimbs to Shining.

Shining took Dusk in his magic and levitated him onto his back as Dusk hugged his neck. "Aw! You wanted to see your BUE didn't ya Dusky?"

The hoof mirror began to buzz and chime.

"Come on Shiny and Shiny, let's let Twilight work.", Cadance said.

As they left the room, Twilight shouted after them, "Don't feed him chocolate again! It took me forever to get him cleaned up!"

"No promises!", Cadance shouted back to the room chuckling.

twilight chuckled as she closed the curtains, dimmed the lights and put on a pair of red-framed glasses. For the last touch the cast a spell changing the color of her coat into a dusty blue and her mane into a fiery orange. Picking up the mirror in her hoof, she said, "Morning Star here."

The image of a dark grey unicorn stallion with a dark trench coat and black hat appeared in the mirror. "Greeting Morning Star, Monochrome here. I'm just letting you know I've just brought in three more of the remaining member of the the laughing mare terrorist cell in Maretropolis,"

Twilight began flipping through the crime reports in Maretropolis. "Okay I've got reports of a new drug den on the Westside, a body in the harbor and the third suspicious missing pony report from Midtown." She lit her magic and sent the reports to Monochrome. "Oh and one last thing Monochrome, if you happen to see Bacon-head, find out why I can't get through to her mirror."

"Will do. Monochrome out." The image on the mirror disappeared leaving Twilight looking at her own reflection.

Twilight dropped her disguise, raised the lights and put her red-framed glasses away as there was a knock at the door. "Come in!", she called out.

A servant walked in carrying a wrapped box and a few envelopes on his back. "Mail for you this morning madam."

"Thank you and when you see Midnight, ask him if he'd like to join me and for lunch.", Twilight said taking the mail.

The servant bowed and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Twilight flipped through the letters seeing the three fromher friends who had gone back to Ponyville had addressed them to her alter ego, "Morning Star", the rest were from across Equestria addressed to the Equestrian Bureau of Investigation, Royal Palace branch. She laid the letter aside for a moment and turned her attention to the package. It was addressed, To: Fuckface From: a crude drawing of what looked like an ape's paw balled up in a fist with the middle digit extended. She opened the package and drew out the shattered mirror she had sent to Sunset, a letter was attached to it. The letter read, "I'm not your dog who you can put on a leash. Signed, Fuck You". Twilight gave a disgusted sigh as she tossed the broken mirror back in the package with a disgusted scoff. "Celestia's going to be pissed. That's the second mirror she's smashed in two months.", Twilight said to herself as she began opening the letters.
