Young Celestia was walking through the castle. "Luuuunaaaa." She called. "Let's play!" She said before opening the door to her sister's bedroom.

Said sister was currently sniffling with her nose looking red.

"Luna, it's playtime!" Her smile shined... "Luna?"

"Sorry sis...but...achoo! I can't..."

"Aww...anything I can do to make you feel better?"

"No...just close the door and let me rest."

"Alright." pouted Celestia as she shut the door and sighed.

Later, young Celly is seen walking through the halls.

"None of the staff wanna play, Luna's sick, Philomena's at the groomers and my parents are not home...what am I gonna..." Then a huge time vortex opened up. "Ooh, what's that?" She ran right in, without any fear.

(In the future)

"So mom, what are we doing here in your room with tons of cakes and toys?" Spike asked.

"Because Spike, we're about to meet a very special friend." smiled his mother.

"A...friend?"

That's when the time vortex opened up in front of them. And out popped younger Celestia.

"Huh?"

"Hello."

"WHAT IN THE EQUESTRIA?!!!" Spike shouted.

"*Gasp* Miss! That's a baby dragon, let him go back to his mommy before she torches your home."

"Relax young one, I am his mother."

"Aww...you have a cute son, whoever you are."

"I'm you from the future little one."

Cewestia blinked and looked at herself and Celestia. "Wooooow, I grew up into the most beautiful princess ever, and I adopted a dragon."

"W-Wait, this is you, as a filly?" Spike asked Celestia with wide eyes.

"Yep, and guess what? You're her playmate for the day!"

"What?"

"Yay!" She then gave Spike a hug.

"Uh, mom?"

"Yes?" They both replied.

He sweatdropped. "I mean, older mom."

"What's up?"

"Isn't this dangerous? This is messing with a major part of time after all."

"Spike, Kid Trunks meets Future Trunks in Dragonball Super, Mario & Luigi meet thier baby selves in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, Modern Sonic teams up with Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations and the upcoming game still titled Sonic Project 2017. I think I know what I am doing, besides, she just wanted a playmate, after the day is over, I'll just send her back home."

'It worries me when she uses fiction references for this kind of stuff.'

"So Spike, what are gonna play today?"

"Wait, before playing, you want cake?" Celestia asked before pointing Cewestia to all the boxes of cake.

"Ooh, cake!" She grabbed Spike, materialized 2 spoons and jumped in!

"Hey! Wait for me!" he cried before following her.

"Don't forget about me!" Cried Celestia, joining in.

Then the door opened. "Sister, guess who has a date to...night..." She sees Spike, Celestia and Cewestia all digging in. "...Don't...wait...up..." She slowly backed away before closing the door.

"Was that Luna all grown up?"

"Yes that was."

"She's prettier than me." she pouted.

"Indeed, but at least I play the role of embarrassing parent since our parents are well...dead in this time..."

Cewestia started tearing up hearing that.

"B-buuut, you still have family." Spike told her with a smile.

"I guess that's right..."

"Now, how about we go take these toys out to the garden?"

"A garden?"

"....Oh, right...your 1st castle was in the Everfree Forest..."

Cewestia nodded.

"Well, this is a new castle in a city named Canterlot. The capital of Equestria." Spike exclaimed.

"Cool."

"I'll show you exactly where the garden is, how does that sound?"

"Thanks Spike."

"You're welcome...kid mom." He cringed.

"Ooh, I like that."

They then exited Celestia's room and Spike lead her to the garden.

"Hey, who's prince charming over there?"

"Your nephew Prince Blueblood, and trust me, he ain't charming." advised Spike with a frown.

"Okay...ooh, who's the pretty one with a baby and a prince charming?" She asked as she pointed to a framed picture on the wall.

"Oh, your niece Princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadence for short, her husband Prince Shining Armor and thier daughter Princess Flurry Heart."

"Why aren't they king and queen? They're married and have a baby."

"Probably because those titles make them sound old."

"But they look young."

"Yeah, but it's still a big question mark for me."

Cewestia chuckled. Eventually, they arrived. "Wow."

"I know right? It's all so beautiful because the gardener you hired keeps everything nice and healthy, especially the animals."

"Animals?" That's when she was tackled by a tiger that began to lick her face. "Ahahah! Stop that it tickles!"

The tiger let go as more and more animals, plus a few Pokemon began emerging.

"Ooh, what are these?"

"Well, because the garden is so full of life, lots of animals, even endangered ones and these creatures from another world moved here for safety." Spike said as he pet the unknown bug type from the Pokemon manga.

"Go ahead, they won't bite."

Cewestia looked at them. So many animals and cartoon characters making cameos. She walked over to a Growlithe and rubbed its head. "You are so cu-aaaaaah!" The Growlithe was so happy it blew fire all over her face. She then made a puff of soot.

"Ha! You should see the look on your face." Said Spike. He snickered while she pouted.

She then noticed a dragon sneeze tree. "Hmm..." She had a smirk on her face. She walked over and pulled some off with her magic. "Hey Spike."

"Yes?"

"Ambush!"

Then the leaves and flowers got all over him! "Dragon Sneeze?!" Then Spike began sneezing with his eyes watering.

Cewestia chuckled.

"Drat Achoo!" he sneezed.

Cewestia laughed at Spike sneezing.

"Huh?" Prince Blueblood took notice. "Who in the world is that? Is that filly bullying my cousin? Not in this lifeti-"

"It's okay Blueblood, that's me from the past." interrupted Celestia.

"Why are you laughing at your crying son?"

"No (idiot) that's his allergies." she frowned.

Spike eventually stopped sneezing. "Alright, so what else you wanna..."

"Tag, you're it!" she cried out tapping him before running off.

"Here I come mom!" he spoke running after her.

'The part where we fall in love is coming...I can't wait!' Celestia thought as she went into the garden.

"Get back here!"

"Just try and catch me!" She called as they went deeper into the garden. 'I'll hide so he won't be able to tag me back!' She hid in a bush, but not that impressively since her flank and back legs were exposed.

Spike spotted it and grinned as he walked over. "Gotcha!" Then he tackled Cewestia.

"Eep!"

They rolled around in the grass before stopping at the edge of a pond.

"Aww, how'd you find me?"

"Your flank was sticking out of the bushes." he chuckled.

"Darn it, I forgot that's how Luna keeps on finding me." she pouted.

"Maybe next time, make sure your entire body is hidden."

"Hey, I'm your mom, I should be giving you the advice." She joked.

"You won't be my mom for a long time." he countered.

She then wrapped her hooves around him. "Still, the fact still stands that I will."

"I know." he patted her head.

Spike and Cewestia were so close to each other. Something Spike noticed and moved back.

Cewestia blushed from noticing it too.

"Whew...being that close felt..."

"Yeah..l"

Spike and Cewestia looked away from each other, Spike, holding his arm. Cewestia biting her lip.

'I never realized how handsome he looked up close.' she thought with a light blush.

'Wow mom, your younger self is too cute to not have as someone's girlfriend.'

'What am I thinking? That's your son/mom.' both thought with wide eyes.

"Spike?"

"Yes?"

"I think I wanna go home now."

"Oh, well we can talk to mom, i mean older mom."

"Okay..."

'Okay, now once they get to my room, talk privately with Cewestia to encourage her feelings!' Celestia thought as she exited the garden.

Later, they made it to Celestia's bedroom.

"Mom?"

"Oh, hey kiddo, what's up?"

"I wanna go back to my time."

"What's wrong?"

"Can't say..."

"Well...what if we talked about it in private?"

"Um, alright."

"Spike?"

"Sure."

"And no listening through the door, or else you're grounded." warned Celestia as she and her younger self walked into her room.

"Okay mom." He then left the room.

"Let me guess, you thought Spike was cute?"

"You are the future me, so of course you'd have the answers." She replied. "But...aren't these feelings forbidden?"

"Well no, yes most would be uncomfortable with them, but what's wrong with having them? This way we can make sure our son is always protected and cared for."

"R...really?"

"He has a crush on a beautiful unicorn he has zero chance with." she frowned.

"What? Anyone can make things happen if they put their mind to it can't they?"

"You really wanna hear about how Spike says he's 'close' each day? How he was able to fend off suitors who were able to score a date with his crush? How he does so much back breaking work to show off his strength? I don't mind if it's his babysitter Twilight that he's doing stuff for since she's like a big sister to him, but doing all that for a mare who just keeps turning him down or not take him seriously for his confessions? No!" growled Celestia.

Celestia's anger, fueled Cewestia's anger.

"And more than likely, when you go back and eventually adopt him, you will understand truly what I mean."

"B-bring him back in please."

Celestia nodded and used her magic to pull Spike in the room.

"You ladies done talking? Or should I say lady since you're the same pony?" Spike joked.

"Spike, give my younger self a hug before she goes."

Spike nodded before walking over to Cewestia. "Enjoy your future, it's gonna be great." And as Spike went in for the hug...

Cewestia grabbed his cheeks before pressing their lips together. Celestia joined in too and kissed his cheek.

His eyes went wide, his jaw went slack, and he stood there speechless as the time vortex opened up.

"Tee hee hee, byyyyyyeee!" Then Cewestia jumped into the vortex and it closed back up.

"Wha....wha....what just happened?!"

"My love for you going from motherly to romantically." she smiled like it was obvious. "Now come with me Spike."

"Where are we going?"

"To the walk in closet, I wanna know your opinion on my dresses before our first date."

He went wide eyed even more as she dragged him there by his feet.

Meanwhile in the past...

"Here you go Princess." A butler said as he gave her a present.

"What's this?" She opened the box. "A dragon's egg?"

"Dragon eggs never spoil, so please, your parents tell you, that when you feel the time is right, hatch it and raise it with all the love in the world." he spoke before walking off.

Cewestia took the egg and placed it in a class container. 'Wait for me Spike...one day we'll be together forever.'
