The next day soon came. Mo woke up a bit early to make a special breakfast for everybody while they were still asleep, though Angel kept her company and she soon made cinnamon pancakes.

"Those smell so good..." Angel beamed. "Think we dogs could have some of that?"

"Are dogs allowed to eat cinnamon?" Mo asked.

"Yes, it's not toxic like chocolate." Angel smiled.

"Alright then." Mo smiled back.

After some time, there were stacks of cinnamon pancakes. The others soon woke up, though Atticus mumbled a bit as he made himself a special coffee to help wake him up.

"I know you're ready for a vacation away from solving cases and Head Witch paperwork." Mo smiled at him.

"I sure am." Atticus smiled back.

"That's my big boy." Mo beamed as she kissed his cheek.

Atticus chuckled as he sipped his coffee before he sat down to breakfast. The teenagers beamed as they came to join them for breakfast.

"Mm... Pancakes." Akito smiled.

"Cinnamon pancakes!" Estelle added.

"Amazing!" Vincent beamed.

"Looks great, Tante Mo." Felicity smiled as she began to eat with them.

"I thought the special occasion called for cinnamon pancakes." Mo smiled back.

The teenagers cheered happily from that. Atticus and Mo smiled with each other happily as this was going to be great so far.

"Don't forget about me," Rabia's voice told Felicity. "Remember what I told you."

Felicity gulped a little to herself while everyone else smiled and shared some pancakes.

"I can't wait for the wedding." Estelle smiled as she ate her stack of pancakes.

"Tell me about it," Akito smiled back. "This probably explains why Uncle Sombra was so weird and busy lately for school."

"Yeah, he was really out of it," Vincent agreed. "And Star thought maybe he was actually a spy from Ludo."

"We'll leave for Equestria after breakfast." Mo smiled.

The teenagers beamed from that, though Felicity had a bit of a weary smile due to Rabia trying to talk to her.

"Don't eat too fast now," Atticus reminded them. "That causes tummy aches and hiccups."

"Oh, right." Akito smiled sheepishly.

A letter soon appeared.

"'We'll meet you in Equestria - Cherry'," Atticus read the letter aloud. "How did she know?!"

"Evie's magic mirror?" Felicity guessed with a sheepish shrug.

"Or Cherry's own magic mirror." Mo smiled.

"That too." Felicity smiled bashfully about her mother.

"Well, I guess those are both true," Atticus chuckled. "Maybe this'll put a... Um... Erm... Somewhat of a smile on Cherry's face."

"So then shall we go?" Akito asked.

"All right," Mo smiled as she finished up the dishes. "Let's go. For old time's sake."

"Oh, for sure." Atticus smiled back.

The two summoned their old Equestrian medallions which summoned a portal for them all to go visit Equestria as Felicity tried to keep calm and cool.

"This is going to be so much fun." Estelle smiled.

"Dad, could I try out to be a Wonderbolt like you did with Aunt Rainbow Dash for a while?" Akito smiled hopefully.

"We'll ask if you're old enough first." Atticus smiled back.

"Wahoo!" Akito cheered.

The others chuckled a bit from Akito's excitement.

Eventually, the portal changed them into their Equestrian forms as two figures were there and one of them was a familiar-looking dragon from New York.

"Jake Long?!" Atticus and Mo asked in surprise.

"Atticus? Mo?" The dragon replied as he stood with a pink mare with a golden mane.

"Yeah, it's us." Atticus smiled.

"Long time, no see," Jake chuckled. "What's it been, about 20 years?"

"I suppose you could say that," Mo smiled. "Hello there, Jake. Oh, is that you, Rose?"

"Yes, it's me." The mare confirmed with a smile back.

"It's great to see you both again." Atticus smiled back.

"I'll say." Rose replied.

"Is there a special reason you came?" Mo asked.

"Spike wanted to catch up with me," Jake replied. "Especially after we spent that, uh, Hearth's Warming Eve together when I helped him with Rarity."

"Well, we're here for Celestia and Uncle Sombra's wedding." Akito smiled.

"Ah, yes, we've heard about that," Rose smiled back. "I'm hoping to go myself."

"So, these are your kids," Jake said to the Fudo siblings. "I bet your old man's told you all about me."

"Somewhat, also from my mother." Felicity spoke up.

"This is Cherry's daughter, Felicity." Mo introduced.

"Cherry had kids?" Jake's eyes widened. "Well, I guess there's someone out there for everyone."

"Yep." Vincent nodded.

"Do you guys have kids?" Estelle asked Jake and Rose.

"We've been thinking about it sometimes," Jake replied. "Mostly because they might be born part dragon like me and Haley, even though the dragon gene skipped my mom."

"Having kids can be a blessing." Mo smiled.

"So I've heard." Rose smiled back.

They soon walked along for a while as Felicity had a lot on her mind, but tried to keep it hidden from the others as they decided to go visit Twilight's castle.

"Hey, guys!" Torak greeted with a wave from his and Megan's cottage.

"Hey, Torak!" Akito smiled.

"Did you hear about the wedding?" Torak smiled back.

"Yep! That's why we're here!" Akito beamed. "Pretty soon Celestia will be Aunt Celestia!"

"Yeah!" Estelle added.

"Say, where's your dad?" Vincent asked as he looked around.

"At the castle with Twilight and Flash," Torak replied. "We're gonna meet over there for lunch, but he went on ahead to ask Flash something a bit important."

"I wonder what it could be?" Mo smiled.

"We'll catch up with you there in a moment." Megan smiled back.

The family smiled from that as they came to the front door where Gallus stood.

"Do you have an appointment?" Gallus asked.

"Gallus, you know us." Atticus rolled his eyes playfully at the griffin.

"Hey, just doing my job." Gallus smiled.

"Fair enough," Atticus smirked. "You do a great job."

"Yeah, I don't care what Gilda says," Gallus smirked back. "Hey, Akito. You ready?"

"I'm sure I was born ready." Akito smirked as he took out a hoof against his claw for their usual arm-wrestling for when they would first see each other for an Equestrian visit.

"And they're off." Estelle smirked playfully.

Gallus and Akito arm-wrestled for a while until Akito had won against the griffin.

"You may pass." Gallus allowed as he stepped aside.

Akito beamed proudly as he came inside with his family to visit Twilight.

"Must you two always do that?" Felicity whispered to Akito.

"Tradition, cous," Akito whispered back. "Gallus insisted on it."

Felicity shrugged to herself from that.

Flash was testing Tirek a bit as the older centaur came over before lunch for a favor.

"Hey, guys." Atticus greeted.

"Hey, Atticus," Flash smiled. "This look familiar to you?"

Atticus took a look at what Tirek was doing. "Ohh... Tirek's training to become a royal guard." he then said.

"He's hoping for it anyway." Flash replied.

"Cool." Akito smiled.

"Ah, the Fudo Clan." Tirek greeted.

The Fudo family and Felicity said their hellos to the formerly evil centaur.

"It's so good to see you all." Tirek smiled.

"It's good to see you too, Tirek." Atticus smiled back.

"So, you're gonna try to be a guard..." Mo said. "I remember when Atticus attempted that."

Atticus smiled bashfully from that.

"Yes, I thought it would be nice if I had a job." Tirek replied.

"Cool." Vincent smiled.

"We're gonna have lunch with him, Torak, and Megan." Flash told the visiting family.

"Sounds great!" Atticus smiled. "It could be a lot like old times."

"Yeah." Mo smiled back.

"That sounds great to me too." Twilight smiled as she came by while holding a bump in her stomach.

Midnight soon touched her mother's belly before happily clapping her front hooves. "I felt my baby sister kick!"

"Midnight, remember, it could be a boy." Flash reminded with a small smile.

"Yeah, I guess." Midnight said.

"So... Lunch?" Twilight offered.

They soon came into the grand dining hall together to share some lunch with each other. Sombra soon stepped inside, a bit bashfully as he had a lot on his mind with a dreamy look on his face.

"Hi, Uncle Sombra." The Fudo siblings smiled.

"Huh? Oh! Oh, hello..." Sombra smiled back. "It's good to see you kids."

"Great to see you too, Uncle Sombra," Akito beamed. "It's so great you're gonna marry Princess Celestia."

"Yes, but I suppose pretty soon, we'll call her Queen Celestia." Sombra chuckled.

"That sounds nice." Estelle giggled.

Sombra decided to sit down to eat lunch with them as they caught up. Felicity was mostly quiet though.

"Felicity?" Sombra smiled. "Tell your mother I appreciate her coming."

"Oh... Um... Yes, King Sombra, sir." Felicity replied.

"This is going to be an amazing wedding." Estelle smiled.

"We're really excited." Vincent added.

"I hope that you kids have fun with it," Sombra smiled. "This means a lot to me."

"We sure will." Akito smiled back.

"Akito, I was wondering if you'd like to help the Wonderbolts with a show for the reception, a little like they did for Shining Armor and Cadence's wedding?" Sombra asked.

"Gosh, Uncle Sombra, you sure I'm old enough?" Akito asked.

"You could be a Junior Wonderbolt like when your parents and aunt met those twins from Hope Hollow." Sombra smiled.

"I guess that would be nice." Akito smiled back.

"I thought that might excite you," Sombra smiled all around. "You can all help out for the wedding. Especially with your art, Vincent, or your dancing, Estelle, and even your singing, Felicity."

"Oh, I'm not that great of a singer." Felicity smiled bashfully.

"Sure you are." Estelle smiled.

Felicity smiled bashfully as everybody else agreed that she sang just fine. "Well, I suppose I could sing something for you." she then said to Sombra bashfully.

"Great." Sombra smiled.

They soon enjoyed their feast for a while as Megan and Torak soon came over afterwards.

"So, how are Danny and Molly?" Cherry's voice asked Megan as she was at the door with Simon.

"Oh, they're doing just fine." Megan smiled.

"That's good," Cherry replied as she walked in with Simon. "Sorry we're a little late, Fliss."

"That's okay, Maman," Felicity smiled. "It's good to see you."

Simon let out a small grunt and nod to his sister.

"What took so long?" Vincent asked his aunt.

"Had to take care of a few loose ends to get tied up," Cherry replied. "Oh, food. Are you hungry, Simon?"

Simon nodded at his mother.

"I am too a bit," Cherry replied. "Charles, come get some food."

"Of course." Forte said as he came to join the others to lunch.

"I can just tell the wedding is going to be magical." Estelle smiled.

"Absolutely magical," Megan smiled back. "I feel great to be apart of this, even though it felt weird when I first met talking ponies."

"Yeah, I'm sure that would feel strange for anybody," Mo giggled a bit. "It's good to have you around though, Megan. You seemed interesting from when we all first met against Scorpan."

"Totally." Megan smiled back.

They all enjoyed their food very much as they talked about plans for the wedding, such as visiting Silver Shoals tomorrow to see Celestia and Luna. Sombra smiled happily as he looked excited for his upcoming wedding day.

"Just remember to invite me to your bachelor party." Spike grinned at Sombra.

"I sure will." Sombra smiled.

"Score for me!" Spike beamed.

Everyone shared a laugh from that.

"Ooh!" Twilight gasped as she held her stomach.

"Baby must be kicking." Flash guessed.

"I know the feeling all too well from experience." Mo smiled.

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Atticus asked.

"Doctor Whooves said it's meant to be a boy," Twilight smiled. "I could go either way, but so far, we like the name Dusk Shine."

"Sounds like a smart and strong name." Akito smiled back.

"We thought so too." Flash beamed excitedly.

"I'd just like a little sister." Midnight piped up.

"Well, life can be unpredictable." Mo said.

"So I've heard," Midnight said as she adjusted her glasses. "Auntie Moon told me that too."

"So good that you're back on track with Moon Dancer." Atticus smiled at Twilight.

"Me too," Twilight smiled back. "You guys and the Mane Six will always be my best friends, though Moon Dancer and the others did come first."

"That's true." Mo smiled back.

"So far, it's just planning the wedding, but I know that it'll be great for you kids to see Celestia and Luna again." Sombra smiled happily.

The teenagers smiled back, though Felicity looked a bit soft in her smile due to recent events.

"It sure would be great to see them again." Estelle smiled back.

"I sometimes think they miss being in charge though." Twilight giggled from that.

"How can you tell?" Vincent asked.

"From some visits we make down to Silver Shoals." Twilight replied.

The others laughed a bit from that as they shared a good time together.

The teenagers then got settled into two rooms: one for Estelle and Felicity and one for Akito and Vincent.

"I hope you guys like the rooms." Midnight smiled at her non-Equestrian cousins.

"We sure do." Akito smiled back.

"Good," Midnight smiled from that. "Maybe we can all hang out later."

"Sure, we'll do that, Midnight." Estelle smiled back.

Midnight beamed happily as she clapped her front hooves in excitement.

"This is going to be so much fun." Estelle beamed.

"Yes... Lots of fun..." Felicity smiled softly.

"You must be excited to become a big sister." Vincent smiled at Midnight.

"I am!" Midnight beamed. "I get to be in charge of somepony else, I can show them my favorite books! Were you excited to become a big sister, Felicity?"

Felicity looked away softly.

"Felicity? Felicity!" Midnight called.

"Huh? Oh, um, yeah, sounds good..." Felicity said softly.

"Felicity, is something wrong?" Estelle asked.

"I'm okay..." Felicity smiled softly. "Really."

"You sure?" Midnight asked.

"I'll be okay... I'll go freshen up..." Felicity said as she walked off.

Midnight and Estelle looked to each other from that.

"Well, I hope school's not stressing her out," Estelle said. "I know she hates crowds and new people, but I thought she got a little happy after we left her when she first started school."

"Maybe." Midnight said.

Felicity stared into the mirror with a sigh. "What am I gonna do?" she asked herself. "Maybe I'm just imagining things... Maybe Rabia will leave me alone... After all, what could she want from me anyway?"

"Oh, you don't know what I want." Rabia's voice smirked.

"Gah!" Felicity gasped.

"You're not going to betray me too, are you, Felicity?" Rabia's voice asked.

"N-N-No, I wouldn't want that." Felicity shivered nervously.

"That's a good girl." Rabia's voice smirked.

"Oui, madam..." Felicity gulped.

"Just remember not to tell anyone..." Rabia's voice told her. "King Sombra must pay for his betrayal to not just Rasputin, but to me as well."

"What do you mean to you as well?" Felicity asked.

"All in good time, my child... All in good time..." Rabia told her.

Felicity looked very worrisome from this as she tried to keep it to herself and away from her family, but of course, it wouldn't be easy.
