- What was it?!

Sweetie Belle looked disapprovingly at the disheveled Rarity burst into the room and answered with the corner of her mouth:

- Sneezed a little. Is she not caught a cold?

Corner - because the rest of her mouth she was sucking at Flurry Heart.

"It seems not to be ..." Celestia looked around the room (the inspection showed that the walls, windows, floor and ceiling were not damaged) and calmed down a little. - Wow, however, sneezed.

- It could be worse. I remember once she blew it out of your Crystal Heart, and this is a simple cry, and only a sneeze ...

"Better not even think ... Where is Pippi?"

- That is, how is it where? - Sweetie Belle was amazed. "Have you not met in the corridor?"

- No.

- How not? She literally a few seconds before this sneeze said that she would be back in a minute, she left, then Flary sneezed ... oh, probably because of the draft in the open door and she sneezed ... and then right now this bastard and "what was that? ! " How did you miss her in the corridor?

"She was not in the hallway ..." Caydens whispered a little audibly and looked at her daughter. "Did she ... sneeze at Pippi when she opened the door ?!"

"Well, yes ..." Sweetie Belle turned a puzzled look at the princess, then back to Flurry Heart. - Oh ...

- Cho-yo-yo-ya-ah-ah-ah ! - Howled howls in voice and magic range simultaneously. Then she fell silent, bowed her head and listened. - Now it's suitable ...

A depressing silence reigned, only the little girl joyfully sniffed. Mom and the temporary nanny for some reason did not share her joy.

Outside, footsteps were heard.

"What about you ..." Celestia appeared in the open door.

- PCHI !

When Sweetie Belle managed to shake out the ringing from her ears, she found that Caydens, with her sagging jaw, was staring wildly at the doorway.

Empty.

"Is it true that this is what happened here ..." Sweetie Belle began, but they didn't let her finish either.

- Sister, are you here? - the moon teleported to the room. "Ah, not here ... well, I'm sorry ... Although it seemed like she was going here ... well, okay ..." She made a move to teleport somewhere else.

- Wait ! Screamed Rarity. "Why were you looking for her?"

- Ask something, but what?

- What to ask?

- Yes, something strange is happening with the moon. Over the past five minutes, two objects have cast magic on her. Since I didn't do it, only my sister could ... - Luna followed Sweetie Belle's gaze to the crib. "Although, maybe not only she ... So you haven't seen your sister?"

"Number two," Sweetie Belle said into the space.

- What is "number two"?

"She seemed to be the second of these objects." And number one is Pippi.

A booming roar announced that Caydens had fainted.

- ... and I am like this: "number two, and number one - Pippi!" And she is like this: blak! I didn't even have time to say "well, at least they won't be there alone together ..."

- Well, this is already too much. Kicks obviously came up with this replica for myself, this doesn't suit you. It's even good that I didn't.

- you think? In my opinion, in this state she would not have suspected anything anyway. Will you bring it to your senses?

- Yes, she herself.

"Uh ... Pippi, are you here?" Where is ...

"Here, here, also here ..." Celestia stepped out from behind the curtain. - Wow, but I still doubted. Yes, under such a hurricane sneeze you can do anything, no one will notice. Good idea for a joke, worth remembering.

- JOKES ?! Pippi, yes you ...

- And who, after the coronation, almost every week I was joking, as scheduled?

"I actually didn't do it alone!"

"So am I, too." And the line hasn't reached the others yet, - the Princess of Friendship hopefully raised her eyebrows.

"These are your jokes ..." sighed Caydens. "How did she sneeze at the right moments?"

- Sweetie Belle, show.

She pulled out a blue feather from somewhere in the bowels of her mane by telekinesis:

- Rainbow Dash literally tore off herself. She said that she chose the most delicate.

"Did you tickle her?" Are you crazy ?! Sweetie Belle, you yourself said here that she can sneeze ...

"So I enchanted him," Celestia grinned. - To deflect all the magical effects of tickling.

- And by the way, she even liked to tickle her nose! - Sweetie Belle provitated a feather to the indicated nose and moved there: - Uti-ways ...

"Ah, you are all here, I thought so ..." Shining Armor slipped into the room. - Listen, there we have ...

- PCHI !

- Again your jokes ?! - cried Caidens, poking a hoof in an empty doorway and looking at Pippi with a look filled with no love. - The second time is no longer funny! Yes, and the first one!

"No, no," she muttered, looking at the half-open door with round eyes. - I didn't say anything to him ... he doesn't know how to teleport ...

Celestia looked inquiringly at her sister. She frowned and nodded slowly.

"Ta-ak, have played enough ..." the sunny princess muttered through her teeth. "Sweetie Belle, who asked you to tickle her now?" Although I enchanted the feather with a margin, it's not a child, but a complete surprise ...

"What the hell?! .." cried Button Mash.

"Uh ... just don't worry," Luna sighed. "The next favorable time for returning from there ..."

"Seven hundred and thirty years ..." whispered pale I'm terrified of Pippi. Sweetie Belle, who was standing next to her, also clearly wanted to turn pale, but for good reason she could not.

"Already seven hundred twenty-two." Eight years have passed since then.

This time the rumble turned out to be much more impressive. Still: not one princess fell into a swoon, but two, and Sweetie Belle in addition to them.

- Wow, buy it! - demonly burst out laughing Moon. - No, well, how small children bought !

She threw a simple spell at the door. The aperture was shined for a second, and when it went out, from the corridor came a metal tinkle and strangled Shining curses:

- ... what a freak put here these armor ...
