Ember and Spike's relationship has been getting pretty serious, the level of serious that starts to mandate certain conversations. Such as whether, if they do settle down, whether they want to bring a clutch of drakes into the family. The main problem is that the two of them are Busy with a capital B, and there's the question of whether they could make parenthood work with their respective packed schedules and the distances that are often between them.

However, there's another couple who has had a pretty hectic schedule, and their foal turned out pretty alright. And so Dragon Lord Ember and Spike the Brave and Glorious are now on the first train to the Crystal Empire to ask Cadance and Shining Armour for parenting advice.

And maybe they'll take some extra lessons along the way.
