Izzy admittedly did a fairly decent job of hiding her surprise as she magically lifted Sprout off of the changing table, levitated him across the room and gently set him down in the playpen, before turning her attention to Sunny, picking her up, taking her over to the changing table, and laying her down on her back. Sunny noticed the slight change in her demeanor as she untaped her diaper, opened it up, and immediately began cleaning her up.

"Izzy? Everything okay?" Sunny asked softly. Izzy merely nodded as she quickly and efficiently went about her task, getting her cleaned up and pulling the diaper out from under her, rolling it up and throwing it away before getting a fresh one unfolded, fluffed, and under her. Once she got her powdered and the diaper taped up, Sunny felt herself get sat up, lifted up in Izzy's magical grasp, and levitated not over to the playpen, but out into the hall, where she was set down on the floor, and had Izzy right in her face after she had softly closed the door.

"Sunny... I'm... I'm sorry if I stepped on anything sensitive. I didn't know about your mom, and if I did, I promise I wouldn't have made you say that." Izzy told her.

Sunny's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

"My... My mom? Oh, you mean... Ugh, Sprout and his big mouth. Listen, Izzy. That was a long, long time ago, and I've had a long, long time to come to terms with that. It has absolutely no effect on this crazy headspace that's been being pieced together in my head, alright? If you don't remember, I was the one who said it first yesterday, remember? It's okay, I promise."

"You sure?" The unicorn asked.

"Positive. You don't have to worry about me, and I swear, if you actually do manage to step on any sensitive hooves, I'll let you know. You have my word."

Izzy smiled at her.

"Thanks, Sunny. I'm glad you and Sprout are having so much fun, because it's just as fun for me."

With that, Sunny was scooped up in her friend's magic, carried back into the room, and floated over to the playpen and deposited on the floor next to Sprout.

"Now you two behave while I get this diaper pail out to the trash," Izzy told them, walking back over to the changing table and tying up the nearly-full bag that was currently in the diaper pail before taking it out of the room and walked down the hall with it.

"Hey Sunny?" Sprout began, pushing an un-constructed PoneBloks set over to her. "I just want to say... I'm sorry. For everything. And I mean absolutely everything. The fact that you're here with me, in this admittedly crazy situation, just shows how much of a great friend you are."

Sunny smiled over at the red stallion.

"Apology accepted, Sprout. I'm actually pretty surprised at how much I've been enjoying this yesterday and today, and it's clearly mostly thanks to Izzy," she replied.

"Same here. She's been just... Amazing. I really want to figure out how to thank her for all of this," Sprout told her.

"I know what you mean. Actually..." Sunny paused, scooting closer and leaning in towards him. "What do you say, at the next available opportunity, you and I make her sparkle?"
