"No, no mom, I'm okay really! I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed, and a little fresh air should clear that up."

 

>Twilight Velvet was fussing over her newly royal daughter, alternating between sobbing and giggling

 

“A-are you sure you’re alright sweetheart? This is all happening so fast! ”

 

>Twilight’s mother whickered and pranced with nervous energy

 

“You can’t go off by yourself, w-what, what if someone tries to assassinate you!”

 

>With enough dramatics to give Rarity pause, Twilight’s mother wails and bursts in to tears

 

“Mom!”

 

>Twilight’s father, Nightlight, rubs the bridge of his nose with a hoof

>His wife could become quite carried away at times…

 

“You know what, I think getting some fresh air is a great idea honey. We should do the same thing Velvet.” He says, nudging his wife towards the nearest door.

 

>Feeling a little concerned for her mother, Twilight thinks of a way to get her mind in a better place

>What could possibly distract her in a situation like this?

>After a moment an impish smile worms it’s way across her face

>Nightlight unconsciously tenses at the sight.

>In the past, that smile had been the harbinger of some of the most horrific childhood mischief known to pony kind

 

“You know mom, I heard Shiny and Cadance talking about having a baby the other day. I think they were coming up with names!”

 

“Baby talk, really?” her mother gasped, with hint of per prior distress

 

>With a girlish squeal, Twilight Velvet rears into the air before taking off at a gallop

>Nightlight was being pulled through the air like a balloon, helpless in the grasp of his wife’s telekinetic grasp

 

“Wait honey, we don’t even know where they are! Stop! TWILIGHT!”

 

>Giggling at her
