AN: I do not own anything... MLP belongs to Hasbro, and Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, and Pegasus Device to their respective owners
Being as late as it was, the pegasi knew that Celestia was asleep but knew Luna would be up since she was the Princess of the Night. To their surprise, they found her on the balcony overlooking the kingdom and as they landed they could hear her singing
"As I stand here in silence alone, glad to finally regain my throne
I have a lot on my weary brain, as I try to stay sane
I think I have calmed my inner twister, that caused you my dear sister
To force you to send me away...for many a night...and many a day
How could you be so quick to forgive? For I am lucky to still live
none of my actions I condone, because my heart was cold as stone
I have healed all my mental scars, which were countless like my stars
So sleep tight dear Tia under my soothing light, and peacefully have a good night"
"You know it is not nice to sneak up on royalty" Luna said as she finished. As she turned around, she was stunned to see the 5 pegasi sitting on their hunches contently listening "Why are you all here, and is something wrong for you to be looking at me like that?"
"Nothing is wrong princess," Dash said as they all bowed, "me and Pinkie came to get the deed to Sugarcube Corner and make the transfer official and the others came with us. That is a wonderful melody by the way, have you thought about singing it to her?"
"No I have not, you think she will like it?"
"Luna, she is your sister, of course she will. Now can we get this done, we have a meeting to be at in a couple hours"
"Oh..right..." Luna said as she magically got the deed and gave it to Dash, who put it in Pinkie's mane
"Thanks Luna, now we got to go.." Dash said as the group spread their wings, but Dash and Pinkie did something the others didn't expect, they saluted Luna
"Republica Luna Nova" they both said at the same time before taking off in the direction of Ponyville. The others quickly followed to make sure that they would not be too far behind, once again leaving Luna alone but she was stunned
"Those two just ...wow..." was all she was able to say as she watched the others fly off into the night. After a little while, the pegasi arrived at Sugarcube Corner.
"0158, that was cutting it close" Pinkie said as Sunny arrived
"Yeah honey it was," Dash replied, "Hello Sunny, you are 2 minutes early but under these circumstances you are not in trouble."
"Why did you want to meet me here Mrs. Rainbow and Mrs. Pinkie, I think everypony could call you by your first names since you got the same last one, thought of that earlier after our talk."
"Not a bad idea, it will avoid confusion, but anyways, it is 0200. There are two ponies I want you to see" Dash said as Dr. Whooves and Derpy turned the corner, causing Sunny's eyes to widen in shock
"Mom? Dad?" Sunny finally managed to say before running over to them
"Hey Sunny, I missed you" Derpy and Dr. Whooves said at the same time as they hugged their daughter before looking up at Rainbow and Pinkie who stood there with a smile on their faces "Thanks you two"
"Don't mention it," Pinkie said in a serious tone "I mean it, this is to stay top secret, nopony else is to know about this. It is the least we can do after you let us see the Cakes Doc. How about you take a week off Sunny, we are considering having an semi-open door policy. It took us some time but the plan we came up with is the workers can leave to see their families as long as they come back on their return date"
"That is a good policy, it is one we have at the hospital" Dr. Whooves replied with a nod
"Take care guys, we got to go home and get some sleep, Sugarcube Corner is having a Grand Re-opening since it is under new management" Dash said with a yawn
"Who are the new managers?" Derpy asked tilting her head slightly
"You are looking at them" Dash and Pinkie both said, but there was an obvious hint of sadness in their voices considering the circumstances for the transfer
"Congrats you two! You both earned it, normally don't eat cupcakes since I prefer muffins but tomorrow I am going to come and eat a few. Are the prices gonna stay the same?"
"Indeed, everything is gonna stay the same except me and Dashie are now running it. The princesses announced it yesterday without us knowing and they set the time for noon. There is also a new baker working under our wings and will be selling her Double-Dipped Chocolate Cake." Leafy outwardly kept a straight face but she was mentally stunned that Pinkie, the very pony who she looked up when it came to baking and tried to hold up to her standards, just said that in front of her. She was mentally squealing with delight at the very thought of working for her.
"Ok, well if there is no further business here I say we all go our separate ways" Dr. Whooves said half-asleep
"Agreed, have a good night" Scootaloo said
"Goodnight" The Whooves then left, and Dash and Pinkie took one final look at the bakery before heading home with the others, knowing they were gonna be busy all day ahead of them
