Ten months pass and an ambulance shows up at Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks at Queen Treble Measure.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks, "Weren't you the one who called the bucking hospital?"

King Piano Muse realises that she is right. "Yes, dear. And we've gotta go quick! The twins won't come out on their own!"

Queen Treble Measure can't stop stressing. "Who will we put in charge of Equestria? It can't be my sisters---- they're retired!"

"There's nothing to worry about, honey. Plus, stress is bad for the foals, " says King Piano Muse, "There are three young princesses in which we can choose from who are trustworthy."

"And whoever are you supposing, dear?" asks Queen Treble Measure.

"Oh, you know Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Sunset Shimmer, and Princess Starlight Glimmer. Surely you know them," he replies.

"My sister Celestia praises that pony way too much. Is she really all that great?" Queen Treble asks, "Someday we must do something about Twilight Sparkle."

"You mean 'Princess',"King Piano Muse corrects her," She's The Princess of Friendship, you know. "

"Oh, I know too damn well and I don't give a shit," Queen Treble Measure says, "And hurry up and get me in the goddamn ambulance so we can get to the hospital! If Twilight comes, so be it! Apparently she's bucking better than everypony else - - - that bitch!"

She looks at King Piano Muse and then at the medical ponies. "So, what the hay are waiting for? I'm the Queen, dammit! You get me to the hospital pronto otherwise I will have my foals right here and right now. Nopony wants that. Also, you don't want executed, do you?"

The medical ponies lift her up and onto the bed. Then, they set her inside the ambulance with King Piano Muse using his alicorn wings to fly beside the ambulance so that she could see him.

"It'll be OK," he whispers, "You can trust Twilight and her friends to rule Equestria well. Rest easy, dear." King Piano Muse, without his piano, hums a calming classical piece that he doesn't know accidentally casts a spell on Queen Treble Measure, his wife.

He witnesses Queen Treble Measure fall into a deep deep sleep and he isn't sure that she'd wake up. She would not be able to see the beautiful foals being born. Not knowing what to do, King Piano Muse panics. Eventually, he loses wing control and struggles to keep his strength up so he could stay in the air. He tries and he tries, but falls straight to the ground with huge bleeding scrapes.

He realises that he must consult a fairytale book. That or think of a counter spell---- and fast! King Piano Muse got back up on his hooves, massaging his wings.

A counter spell and a healing spell, he thinks urgently, trying everything that he can with his magic. But even his magic is weakened, making him fall once again.

"Oh my gosh! Are you OK, Your Majesty?" asks a pony passing by.

"The queen, my wife, is gonna have foals. I'm gonna be a father, we'll be a family," he says, "But I accidentally cast a Sleeping Beauty spell on her when trying to calm her down. I had no idea it was gonna happen.... I was just trying to help, you see."

The pony nods, encouraging him to go on.

"Then I experienced weakness--- unexplainable weakness that I've never before. Have you ever had anything like that happen to you, my subject?" King Piano Muse says.

"No, but if it's your magic and wings, I know who can help you, Your Majesty. Oh, and she can also reverse the spell. Come with me, Your Majesty! I'll bring you to her now."

"Should I trust you, dear subject of mine?" King Piano asks.

"I don't know. Should you?" the pony says.

But with careful consideration, King Piano Muse decides to follow the pony. He leads him to Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks up at it in awe. "Home? Why'd you bring me here?"

The pony didn't answer,so King Piano Muse climbs the castle stairs until he reaches the Throneroom. "Twilight, could you please help me with something?"

Twilight Sparkle looks at King Piano Muse with a look of concern. "Oh dear, what happened, My King?" she cries followed by a gasp.

"Please help me. It's desperate. The queen, my wife! She was stressing out, so I tried calming her down by humming a popular classical song which is incredibly easy to play, but something terrible happened!" King Piano Muse cries, "I didn't realise that it was a spell that I accidentally cast on her and now she's Sleeping Beauty! I've lost all sense of magic, earth pony power, and flight! I was told to come to you right away."

"Oh shit! That's horrible!" Twilight cries, "I'll do what I can. You hang tight. Thank goodness you came to me just in time."
Twilight thinks and she thinks and she thinks, pacing around Canterlot Castle. Half an hour passes and her mind lights up. "I've got it!"

"Oh great! Goody goody!" King Piano Muse says.

Twilight shoots a glare at him, making King Piano Muse smile nervously.

"Work your magic, Twilight," he says.

"Gladly, Your Majesty," she says, "This'll take a while. Are you OK with that?"

"Anything. I'll do anything, give up anything. Anything," King Piano replies.

"I think that's a yes then," Twilight says.

So, Twilight gets to work on curing both His Majesty and Her Majesty.
