Baby North Star lay in bed, unable to sleep. Thoughts of what her dad was like were running through her mind. She was far too excited to even think about sleeping. She rolled over in her bed and looked at the other baby ponies that were sleeping in the nursery.

"Baby Quackers!" she whispered. "Are you awake?"

"Yup," replied baby Quackers. "I can't sleep. I'm too excited."

"Me too," said Baby North Star.

The two baby ponies spoke in whispers so as not to wake up the other baby ponies or arouse the attention of their mothers. The two ponies talked about what they thought their fathers were doing at that moment and the possibility that they were on their way home at that very moment. With each new thought, their excitement grew and their hushed whispers became loud giggles.

A light turned on in the hallway, capturing the girls' attention. They quickly put their heads back on their pillows and tried their best to pretend they were sleeping. Ribbon poked her head in the door and looked around to see which baby ponies were responsible for the noise. After standing at the door for a few minutes, Ribbon disappeared back into the hallway and the light went out. The two baby ponies stayed completely still, listening closely to the noises out in the hallway. Once they were absolutely certain that the adults had gone to bed, they propped themselves up and looked at each other.

"That was close," baby Quackers giggled quietly.

"I know," replied baby North Star.

She pushed her covers to the end of her bed and walked over to her dresser. She grabbed her school bag and began tossing her things into it.

"What are you doing?" asked baby Quackers.

"I can't wait anymore," replied baby North Star. "I have to meet my dad. Even if it means facing an evil monster."

"Are you crazy?" baby Quackers snapped. "You're going to get into so much trouble!"

Baby North Star looked over at baby Quackers. The look of shock upon her face soon faded into an evil grin. She jumped out of her bed and grabbed her own school bag.

"I take it you're coming then?" asked baby North Star.

"Well, I can't let you go all by yourself," said baby Quackers. "Besides, If you get to meet your dad and an evil monster, then I get to go to."

The girls packed their bags in silence and wandered out into the hallway. Creeping as silently as possible, they slipped through the front door and sped through the darkness.
