In a well decorated ballroom, the party is like a smaller version grand galloping gala, ice sculptures, tables with white cloth. There bite size food for nobles to enjoy, punch with the finest of fruits and various types of alcohol fills the tables, waiters walking between nobles with drinks and food like well practiced dance, dodging and alert.

There's a live band playing classical music some nobles are listening to the music other dancing, but most are in small groups talking about the days revelation, the young changeling that they all have learned are making big strides in technology and magic.

Some nobles are speaking ill of the changeling, some speak in favor many are neutral on the subject. All are waiting for the royals to enter the ballroom so they can size up this new add to the family and maybe use her for their own gain.

At one of the many tables stands two ponies. The Theastral in a midnight blue coat with silver mane and tail clothed in a black tail-coat suit with silver bottoms, on her chest is a bronze pin with a set of dark grey bat wings holding a dark crystal. Her emerald eyes scanning the room making a face that says 'I'm bored and want to go home.' She watch the nobles mingle some are throwing glances at her and her companion.

Giving a smile she looks over to her, the pink unicorn mare with hay colored mane and tail with specks of rainbow color, she's wearing black and red body tight dress. This mare is 'Candy Warp' her love and tamer of the sugary snacks at this moment she is stuffing her face with everything in sight on the table. With her puffy cheeks full of food she turn and lock eyes with her. She swallows, liking her muzzle.

"What wrong, are you bored? or are you thinking of how sexy your wife is?" The Theastral roll her eyes and gives her wife bedroom eyes. "Oh we can do many things, maybe we can sneak in under the table here and have some fun." Candy warp looks shocked then respond with a light jab at her love. "Night Wind you can't be serious saying that we shall sneak a quickie in front of all these ponies." she says in a shocked tone and a big smile.

They laugh at their little joke, they kiss and look into each others eyes lost in their own world until Night Wind sighs. "Why did we come here? You know we only been in Canterlot for a few days." Candy Warp is looking hyped shaking in place.
CW: "We're here to see our new foal before we meet for the first time. And is it not you who always say 'You can't be to prepared.' hmm."
NW: "I do say that but you know that we will meet her tomorrow together with Foal Heart. It's just that my wife was so focused to see her before the meeting." she says with a hint of irritation.
CW: "Don't be be like that. I know you are interested in our new member."
NW sighs: "Yeah but I put it on the back burner because it involves Celestia."
CW: "Yeah, yeah." She waves her hoof. "I just wanted to see the little thing."
Night Wind is about to respond when a elegant male voice cuts in.

"Sorry to disturb your talk ladies, but are you Candy Warp?" They both turn to see a white unicorn stallion with light blue and pink mane and tail, he's wearing a white shirt covered by a dark grey suit with a purple bow tie, resting on his muzzle is a pair of gold rim half moon glasses behind them are light blue eyes.

Candy Warp smiles with a big smile eyes sparkle with joy and reach out her hoof. "Yes I am, are you a fan of my snacks? Mr."
The stallion hoof bump Candy's hoof with a smile. "It's Soft Silk. I not much for sweets but my wife is, she's a big fan of your roasted almond with coco powder and always ask me to buy in bulk when we come across one of you stores. It's an nice to meet you."

Candy smiles widen. "It's an honor to meet you as well. I'm glad to hear you say that, it fills my heart with joy to hear that my candy brings happiness to others." Candy's smile widen and she looks over to her mate then turn back to Soft Silk. "Oh where're my manners this is my wife Night Wind of Nox family."

Night and Silk great each other. "Nice to meet you Night Wind, I have not seen many bat ponies, so I'm sorry if I'm a bit rude. But is it not hard to be up at the day." Night Wind gives a quick wave of her hoof. "No you're not rude, I'm work mostly day time as part of my work, but your right some Theastral are sensitive to sun light and can't be out in sunlight, as we're there are many types of us just like bats there are some that are active when the sun is up. I hope this help clear up some questions." Silk nods and smile. "Thanks for your info, it's nice to meet you. what brings both of you to Canterlot?"

"We have just moved here to branch out and to make our family bigger." Candy is quick to answer with warm energy.
"It's partly because of my work and an order form the higher ups. So we took this opportunity to expand my wife chain and our family." Night continue.

"I see." It looks like he wants to say more but don't know how to do so. "I hope your stay here will be a good one. Whats your choice when adding to your family?" He change the topic.

"Oh, oh we're adopting, we are going to meet her foal tomorrow together with Foal Heart." Candy says dances in place.
"Good mare that one, always on top of things and well educated. But if I remember there are not a lot of foals to adopt and the waiting list is rather long." Silk laments.

"Yes, we have been told as such. It's seems we got recommend as the foal in question is out of the norm." Night Wind explain.

They are about to continue their talks but the sound of the announcer cuts every pony off.
"I present Princess Celestia, Lady Blue Blood and Lady Tec'ondra." The doors open and the three enters the room the ponies all bow in their presence.

"Rise my little ponies." Celestia says.

Night Wind can feel Candy Warp shaking in place as they both look at the foal that is going to share there life.
"She's so cute, I just want to grab her and hug her until she turns blue." Candy squeal out a bit to loud. Some of the nobles look our way. Night gives them a apologizing smile and starts to calm down Candy. In the corner of her eye she see Celestia smile at them with a small giggle covered by her hoof.
