Happy News

The news spread around Canterlot in an instant. Everypony were all happy for Jet Set and Upper Crust, especially, Dreamscope. Jet Set was so happy for his wife that he nearly lifted the whole roof of his own house at one point.

"It is a nice house," Dreamscope thought to herself, "Anyway, congratulation on becoming a father, Jet Set. Uh, you know, tomorrow, I mean a lot of tomorrows, not today." "Uh, thank you," Jet Set said nervously.

"I'm sure you're happy now," Dreamscope said. "Uh, right," Jet Set said in a nervous tone. "Wait a minute," Dreamscope said, "What's the matter, Jet Set?" "Well, you see," Jet Set began, "I'm actually kind of nervous." "Really?" Dreamscope asked, "Why? I thought that you were excited as a colt."

"You see, I've spent so long as an upper-class pony," Jet Set explained, "So did my wife, that we don't know if we can take care of a child like any other pony would. Don't forget what-" "Jet Set," Dreamscope said, "I know, don't think about it. I know you and Upper Crust will be great parents."

"Well," Jet Set said, thinking about what his friend said. "We'll talk about this with Upper Crust," Dreamscope said. "All right," Jet Set said.

Later, Jet Set walked into the bedroom where his sleeping wife is. Right now, she is taking a short nap. "Well," Dreamscope whispered, "Let's give her a minute." "Ok," Jet Set said.

Soon enough, Upper Crust had woken up, but very slowly. "Jet Set?" Upper Crust asked. "How are you doing, my love?" Jet Set asked. "I'm fine," Upper Crust said, "But I'm still not sure about being a mother. And you being a father."

"I understand," Jet Set said, "We've been spending so much time as fancy ponies that I don't know how our child would be like." "Yeah," Upper Crust said, "I just don't know what to think."

"Don't worry, you two," Dreamscope said with sympathy, "I know you can do this. You just believe you can. It's your choice after all." "But," Upper Crust said. "Just trust yourself," Dreamscope said, "As well as you trust me." "Ok," Jet Set said.

"You've got a while before the baby is born," Dreamscope said, "So you've got plenty of time." So Jet Set and Upper Crust thought about what Dreamscope had said. "All right," Upper Crust said, "We can do this." "You're right," Jet Set replied.

"That's the spirit, my friends!" Dreamcope said, "You've got the confidence now!" "Right!" Jet Set said, "We can do this now." "Right!" Upper Crust said, "Uh, maybe later." "Ok, you're right about that," Dreamscope said, "So just hang around all day?" "Yes," Jet Set answered.
