The Ponies Baby-Sitting Routine
"Hey, check out the time, we're gonna miss the beginning of the performance!" Mr. Cake exclaimed in alarm. "Come on, Carrot Cake, let's get outta here!" With that, he and Mrs. Cake went right out the door.
"Alright, everypony!" said Pinkie Pie, looking right at Rainbow Dash, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell and Twilight Sparkle. "What do you wanna do 1st?"
"Well, how 'bout we-" Apple Bloom began as Pound and Pumpkin Cake broke out crying and wailing real loud.
"Oh no, not again." Pinkie Pie groaned while rubbing her temples. "Do you think they got gas, Sweetie Bell?"
"I don't know, maybe….." Sweetie Bell replied with a shrug.
Pinkie Pie patted them on their backs and tried to get them to burp, but it got no effect.
Pinkie Pie patted them lighter and harder.
Burping was apparently the last thing on their minds.
"Are they tired? hungry? thirsty? when was their last nap?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"I don't think so, Twilight, we don't usually eat dinner or get ready for bed around this time, anyway." Rainbow Dash said as Twilight Sparkle had an idea.
"Hmmm, hey, Pinkie Pie, give them to me, I know exactly what to do with them." Twilight Sparkle gently placed Pound and Pumpkin Cake on the sofa.
"Twilight, what are you doin'?" Applejack asked.
"Where's Pound and Pumpkin Cake?" she asked in a little singsong voice and lifted up the corner of the quilt.
"There they are!" Pound and Pumpkin Cake's crying lessened, and they looked right up at her with wide open eyes. Twilight Sparkle let the quilt fall back over her, right before repeating what she did before.
"Where's the pony babies? peekaboo, there they are!"
Pound and Pumpkin Cake sniffed then smiled a bit Twilight Sparkle took the quilt and draped it over her own head.
"Where's Twilight?" Pound and Pumpkin Cake giggled and watched cheerfully.
