My life was pure bliss. I had just learned that I might finally be able to fly, Twilight Sparkle, daughter of Celestia, just told me she was engaged to my mom, and there was prospects of pizza. Pure Freaking Bliss, Euphoria, Joy, Ecstasy!

Admittedly, my life still wasn't perfect. My first friend ever hadn't seen me since the day we met, high school would still be filled with ponies two or more years older than me, and I still was mute. These just seemed insignificant compared to the pure unfiltered awesome in my life! Unfiltered awesomeness that had overwhelmed my small body.

Which is why I had just fainted.

---

I awoke slowly, cheerfully. One side of me was cold, while the other was warm. The warm side, I eventually figured out it was my right, dominated my cold side, but this definitely wasn't my bed. Interesting.

I raised my head slowly, feeling a warm coat brush against my cheek. Surprised, I opened my eyes. I saw lavender. Warm, furry lavender that filled the right side of my vision. Turning that way, I saw Twilight.

Oh... Yeah. Twilight was trying to marry my mom! All my silly attempts to hook them up were a tad late... but wait. Twilight said the reason that mom had said yes, but not yet, was because she was worried about me. My actions would have helped there! Knowing this pride swelled in my heart.

The reason my left side was cold was because we were in a moving chariot. It was the same one that had taken us to Cloudsdale, where I had learned I would probably be able to fly. It was an exciting idea, especially after 12 years of waiting. I had done a lot in that time, skipped two grades, been bullied, and conversed with a goddess of imagination, inspiration, and insanity. Her name was Fantasi, she liked the color of my mane.

Flying with my own wings after all this time... I had already accepted it as reality, even as unbelievable as it was. I was going to be able to fly... I'd have to learn how to fly. I didn't know any Pegasi in Ponyville besides Derpy.

Derpy... I had only seen her once. Maybe she didn't think of me as a friend anymore? I had just missed two days of school. She wasn't really my first friend. She was just the first one that hadn't been using me since day one. For all know she could try to take me down a peg in front if everyone the day I got back to school. That would make her the third "friend" to do so. They did it that way, because it made me cry which gave them a boost in popularity.

Speaking of popularity, what would the other thousand or so members of the Twilight Fanclub do to me when the found out Twilight was going to be my stepmom?!

Was going to be... that was assuming her attempts to convince mom that I was ready for them to be married didn't mess up their relationship somehow. Mom had said to ask again in one year, Twilight trying to move that date forward by 361 days might upset mom, but I didn't see that happening. Her two stated concerns proved to be positives she probably hadn't even considered

possible. My super late bloom wing wise would be a huge relief to her, even with my premature sexual maturing. Combine that with my attempts to show complete support for their relationship, and the fact that she trusted Twilight to take me to the hospital, showed that her and I got along fine!

All of this was assuming that those were her real concerns. Mom could have lied about why she wanted to wait. If that was true then my actions wouldn't have changed much, or did it? If her real reason was different, then I didn't know what I had changed.

Twilight nudged me back. I realize my mind had been going faster than usual. She looked concerned for me, which was understandable after the way I had fainted. There was more though. She was truly nervous. Understanding hit me like a coal powered freight train, and immediately seized the opportunity to nuzzle against her cheek comfortingly. I probably looked sickeningly cute, blegh, but Twilight was worried about mom.

In four days Twilight had earned my trust. It was awe inspiring seeing a element of Harmony and adopted royalty at work. No one besides Mom had ever held my trust like this. Mom would be a fool not to marry this mare, and I was going to be sure she didn't make that mistake.

Twilight smiled as wide as Pinkie Pie did in my rare, Elements of Harmony RPG card game. She nuzzled back, and started giggling.

The other fans would kill me for sure.

-=-

Twilight and I didn't speak much on the way home, but the time passed quickly as I silently built up Twilight's confidence. She would need every ounce of courage to reask my mom to marry her, even if mom had said yes the first time. She had to succeed! Mom would regret letting her go, and she regretted too much already. For her sake I acted as cute and as cuddly as can be for Twilight.

When the chariot finally landed in Ponyville, Twilight helped me to the ground. As she turned to her bags I ran around the chariot and gave the cab puller a big hug. Being cute might be gross, but this stallion had flown me to an appointment that turned my life around! He deserved a hug even if he had no hoof in my biological changes.

I scampered back to Twilight before he could respond, and grabbed my bag from the back. She has noticed my little reward, and she shook her head amused.

"Come on Scribble, it's time me and your mom talked." I nodded sheepishly and followed down the street to my home. We hadn't landed closer because a few ponies populated the small road, and the chariot driver hadn't wanted to risk it. Even so, it wasn't a long trip to my door.

I had lived in this house for a little over a week, and already it was more of a home than any other I had lived in. Homes were weird like that. The tension skyrocketed as Twilight knocked softly on the door. It built and built as Twilight and I waited for one, two, and then three seconds. Then mom answered the door.

She looked like a mess, but a good mess. It was the sort of mess only the ecstatic or joyous could be after crying happy tears for hours. It was easy enough to tell she had been crying with joy. Her cheeks were puffy, and her eyes were red, but her eyes and lips bore true smiles.

She barrelled out the doorway, going from 0 to 60 in under a second and glomped me with unrestrained glee. "My baby girl is going to fly!" She shouted to the whole world and lifted me above her as she lay on her back. It was super embarrassing, but the words made me start to cry too. My inability to fly had hurt her. She felt like a failure, I think. She was dead wrong, but she had carried that stupid guilt anyway.

"Winter, can we all talk." Twilight asked as she nuzzled the both of us. It was obvious what she wanted to talk about, and the look mom gave her said the answer loud and clear.

I was getting a second mom.

Shock hit me as Twilight raised a hoof before my mom could say anything. "Winter, I have a secret I need to tell you before you say yes. I was going to tell you the first time I asked, but you beat me to my question." I felt my whole body chill. What secret could be so precious she waited till right before they got engaged for real? What had Twilight been hiding?! I knew deep in my heart Twilight was trustworthy, that this secret couldn't change my mom's heart, or else Twilight would have said it already.

But even under that was fear.

Mom looked just as shocked, but set me on the ground and headed in quietly. I followed her. In the living room was a pizza waiting. It was exactly as mom and I got back in those terrible years in Manehatten. She had remembered, and I felt comfort knowing that whatever came me and mom could survive.

Once the front door was closed, Twilight began to take deep breaths. She was preparing herself. I already knew that this secret was a biggie, but this added more tension like oil on a fire. We waited as she gathered the courage to speak, sitting on the edge of our seats, and then...

Wings...

WINGS?!

Twilight had wings! She-she! How? When? Where... WHERE HAD THOSE BEEN HIDING?!

"I'm not actually adopted." Twilight whispered nervously. "Neither is Rainbow Dash, but she refuses to learn magic." T-Twilight was an Alicorn! AN ALICORN! There had been dozens of theories about why she had been adopted along with Rainbow Dash, some had even turned out to be true, but NOPONY had thought that the adoption was a ruse! A ruse to hide the fact they weren't adopted!

"Y-yes." Mom stammered out. She looked just as shocked as I was, but there was a surety in her eyes. Twilight seemed confused, then stunned, then she frowned again.

"N-now for my second confession." She took a deeper breath. This secret was even bigger! What could be bigger than her being an Alicorn?! "Scribble'searlymaturityandsuddenwingdevelopementarebothmyfault!" she belted out faster than me or mom could understand. "When you told me Scribble couldn't fly and was mute, when you described your struggles, I was seized by a desire to help in any way I could. Even before we were dating. Then when you gave that mixed answer to my proposal... I spent weeks in dusty tomes, researching both defects. I discovered I couldn't fix her lack of a voice, but I found tome with a spell for her wings. I-I wasn't thinking straight! When I first met Scribble I-I remembered what you said. I cast the spell without thinking." Twilight took another deep breath. Mom and I were too stunned to talk. "W-when I discovered she was maturing sooner than expected I started scanning her, back in the hospital. I-I had fixed her wings, but I had caused her early maturity! I-I."

Mom finally raised a hoof. "Twilight... I love you, but-" Twilight began to sob. "IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL CLOBBER YOU, BUT MY ANSWER IS STILL YES!" Twilight and me froze and shock.

"B-but I-"

"But nothing Twilight. You gave my girl her wings. Even if you were a complete idiot, you don't understand what that means to me... I-I forgive you." Twilight was shaking, but now in relief. I just felt like a mess. This had been a emotional roller coaster, but I wasn't sure I hadn't fallen out and hit my head.

My soon to be stepmom was a princess, and she cast an ancient spell on me to fix my wings and cause premature puberty.

Fantasi, I think my life is crazy enough now. You can stop.

Okay Scribble.

F-Fantasi?! But you said that-

I lied.

Ohh...

I looked back up at Twilight and mom. They were making out passionately. It was... it was... so hot.

FANTASI STOP!

That's all you Scribble! She laughed as her voice faded away. Next Chapter: Adorable 2: Important Matters(fixed) Estimated time remaining: 55 Minutes
