>You let his little green hand grab hold of your nose.
>You can feel him try to squeeze, but those little fingers of his just can’t produce the force.
>The result is more of a light pressure that makes you feel like sneezing.
“Twilight he’s adorable” you say to the beaming princess.
>Twilight looks down at her son with a loving smile, ”Thank you Sunset… would you like to sit with him?”
>You nod happily and curl up on the couch in Twilight’s crystal bedroom.
>Anon is gently floated over so hi back lays against your side.
>His hand reaches out and takes a handful of your coat.
>The feeling sends tingles down your spine and you giggle along with the happy baby.
>”Nonny! Nonny?!” Twilight chirps until Anon looks at her, “Who am I sweetie?”
>”Maaaahh… maaamaaa” he says between babbles.
>”Very good Nonny! He can actually say my name too.. though it comes out sounding more like “Tie-why” than anything” she says with a giggle.
“Oh wow, he’s already saying names?”
>”Yup, Here watch!”
>An image of Rainbow Dash is projected from Twilight’s horn, Anon reaches out to try and grab it.
>”Ray-bow Daaah.”
>She continues showing images of all her friends.
>”Raree.”
>”Appuh Jaah.”
>”Fluh Sigh.”
>”Pinkie Pie”
>Your eyes open wide while Twilight just shakes her head, “I know… I don’t know how she managed to do it either…” she remarks grumpily.
 
>You turn your head and call his name.
>He looks at you with the most joyful green eyes.
”Can you say my name Anon? Sunset Shimmer? Suuuunseeeet Shiiiimer” you repeat.
>His face scrunches for a moment and he lets out small sounds before “speaking” again, “Suuu…”
>Your ears perk up instantly.
“That’s it Anon, Sunset Shimmer!”
>”Suuumseh Ssssimm” he babbles out
>”Oh you’re so close Anon! I know you can do it!”
>You can hear Twilight giggling next to you, but you’re too excited about this to care.
>”Suuumseh Sssimmah.”
>”You did it Nonny!” Twilight cheers as she jumps in to nuzzle the now giggling baby.
“N-no! He was so close to actually saying it!”
>Twilight rolls her eyes at you, “Sunset, he’s still little, he’ll get it better in time. After all his Aunt Sunset, who knows the most about humans, will be invaluable to him” she says with a wink.
>You can feel the heat rising in your cheeks while looking at the baby leaning against you.
>He turns once more to look at you and smiles, “Sumseh Simmah.”
>You can’t help but giggle.
“Yes, that’s right Nonny! Sumseh… I’m Sumseh Simmah” you coo while rubbing your nose against his.
 
 
 
>”Are you sure you’re all going to be okay here Sunny?”
“Of course Twi! Me and Spike have got this, go spread friendship or whatever.”
>Twilight looks very uncertain.
>”Come on Twilight, you’ve left Anon with us plenty of times before” Spike says assuringly.
>”I know, and I hate having to do it every single time. Especially now that… that he’s been following along so well by the wing, or tail. I just don’t want to miss the big moment.”
“He’s had his lunch not too long ago, so he’ll probably be sleeping until you get back.”
>Twilight bites her lip, but keeps glancing down at her glowing cutie mark.
>”I suppose you’re right. Hopefully whatever’s going on in the minotaur lands can be resolved quickly…”
>Anon giggles happily in his walker while Twilight kisses his nose, “Say bye to Twilight little bro” Spike says waving to Twilight.
>Anon extends his arm out and repeatedly opens and closes his hand, “Mommah.”
>Twilight’s face is one fish with a loving warmth as she waves a wing back at him, “I’ll be back really soon Nonny, I love you very much!”
>The door shuts behind her and Spike turns to Anon, “You having fun there little bro?”
>Anon coos happily and resumes bounce walking around the castle floor in his walker.
>”Y’know what would really make her day?” Spike asks you.
“What’s that?”
>”If we help him work on walking, Twilight’s right, the little guy almost has it down.”
>You grin and nod in approval.
>Anon is enveloped in your sea green magic eliciting a happy giggle from him like it usually does.
>He likes the tingle of magic.
>You levitate Anon down into Spike’s arms, “Whoa there little bro, I’ve gotcha!” he grunts while trying to get Anon to support himself.
>Anon giggles at Spike’s efforts, “Spyyyy!” he chirps.
 
>”Haha! Yup, that’s me little bro!"
>With some magical adjustments of his tiny feet Anon is standing on his own feet, mostly...
>Spike is holding his extended hands to help keep him steady, “There you go! See, you’re a natural! Now... just like we’ve been practicing.”
>Spike takes one step backwards, followed by another.
>He continues stepping backwards until Anon is leaning over to maintain his balance with Spike.
>Slowly he steps forwards, and again.
>Soon he’s maintaining a slow pace while Spike continues pacing backwards.
>You encourage Anon throughout the whole process along with Spike, until Spike trips on his own tail and you’re forced to scoop Anon up in your magic before he goes tumbling along as well.
>”Whoops hehe… good thing you caught him! If he wound up with another “ouch” I’d never hear the end of it…” Spike says scratching the back of his head.
>You float Anon just behind you.
“Come on Nonny, hold on to my tail” you instruct.
>You flick it towards his hand a few times, only to watch it slip out of his hands.
>You giggle at the sight of him getting more serious about grabbing it, only to be too slow to catch it in time.
>When you start to hear his breath catch, a telltale sign of incoming tears, you hold it out so he can actually take hold.
“You did it! Yaaaay!”
>He smiles up at you, completely forgetting his earlier frustration now that he received praise.
>You take a few steps forward and wince when he tugs on your tail.
“C’mon Nonny, just like with Spike… walk with me.”
>He nods, or just wobbles his head like he’s prone to do sometimes
>Nonny mumbles your name, ”…Summy” as his right leg wiggles.
>The tension on your tail lessens as he wobbles up a few steps.
 
>You take a few more and wait for him to catch up before repeating the process.
>Shortly after you’re trotting in a slow wide circle with Anon by your side.
>”Wh- WHOA! S-SUNSET! LOOK!”
>Or at least… he was by your side...
>Anon is taking a few wobbly steps out on his own with his arms stretched out towards you.
>He must have let your tail go!
>This is… this is AMAZING!
>”Oh no! We got a falling baby!” Spike shouts as he rushes over towards Anon.
>You’re too stunned to bring up a levitate spell, but thankfully Spike makes for a soft cushion for Anon to topple over onto.
>Anon has hardly a care as he giggles happily on Spike’s belly from the feeling of falling.
>Spike lets out a huge sigh of relief before leaning his head back against the crystal floor.
>You let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding either.
>Spike eyes have a look of pride in them, as must yours.
>His quickly widen in shock as he turns to face you, “We CAN NOT let Twilight find out about this!”
>The fur on the back of your neck stands on it’s end as you realize the implication of this secret getting out.
“Yeah… this goes with us to the grave…"
