“Morning Star! Midnight Jewel! Where are you? I swear these kids…” Spike complained while searching across the Boutique.

He had already looked at their bedrooms, his bedroom, Twilight and Rarity´s bedroom (which he wasn´t supposed to enter under any circumstances after that accidentally fire), the kitchen, the bathroom and now, he was going inside the store. The room was pitch black but for a dragon that was no problem at all, he could perfectly see the mannequins and the clothes in display. Unfortunately, he didn´t saw the string on the floor that activated the trap that dropped a ton of clothes on his head.

“Surprise!” the elder filly, Morning Star, shouted and jumped on his head while the younger sister tried to grab his tail.

“...” Spike had no reaction to the two foals trying to pin him down.

Sighing, he pick them up and waited until Morning Dawn stop fighting.

“Auh, you´re no fun, Spike.”

“It´s past your bedtime, girls,” Spike said.

“But we´re not tired,” Midnight Jewel said.

“And we´re bored!” Morning Star added.

“I swear you two…” Spike said, rubbing his forehead but he couldn't stay mad at the pegasus and unicorn filly. “I know you two miss your mothers but they can´t take you with them to their social events. I mean, they will if somepony haven´t done a scene last Gala…”

“Hey, it´s not my fault! How could I know that Princess Celestia was joking when she said her mane was made of ice-cream?” Morning Star said, pouting with her arms crossed.

Spike smiled and put both fillies on his back. They always liked riding on his back and Spike found funny that now he was large enough for a foal. “So, what fun thing do you girls want to do? Read a book?”

“Yes!” Midnight Jewel said.

“Agh, so boring! Only you and mom will find reading a book fun!” Morning Star said.

“Hey, don´t talk like that. Your mom can be really funny,” Spike said.

“Yeah because maths are so much fun…”

“Hey, your mom is not all books and numbers. She has many other talents. After all, there´s a reason why she is called the Most Romantic Pony in Equestria.”

“Mom? Our mom the most romantic pony in Equestria?” Morning Star asked, incredulous.

“Sure. I never told you girls this story?”

“Tell us, Spike! Tell us!” Midnight Jewel said, jumping up and down his back while her sister rolled her eyes.

“Well, here it goes. Before you girls were born, your mom and I had to travel across the world, meeting the leaders of different kingdoms and such. Unfortunately, we couldn´t take Rarity with us since she had job to do here and of course, that made both your moms were sad.”

Spike put down their fillies on Morning Star´s bed.

“But your mom Twilight is the type of pony who never gives up and so, she found a solution. She combined different forms of magic and created a special type of magical rock.”

And Spike uses his magic fire to make appear a box. He opened it and revealed several jewels labeled after countries like “Saddle Arabia” and such. Spike took the first rock and asked Midnight Jewel to use her magic on it. Morning Star puted, folding her wings but her eyes opened as wide as her sister when the room was filled with stars.

“What´s this?” Midnight Jewel asked.

“This is an image of the night sky at Saddle Arabia. Twilight invented a spell that let Rarity see what she was seeing. After she imprinted the jewel with the image, I used my magic to sent it to Rarity and so, she wouldn't feel so lonely being so far away.”

“It´s...really pretty,” Morning Star admitted.

“Yup. We traveled to many different places and eventually, word of what Twilight was doing got spread and rulers shows us the best sights at their countries. And they also give us the best meals,” Spike said, licking his lips, remembering the food. “And so, that´s how  Twilight was know as the romantic pony of Equestria.”

Spike looked at the fillies. Midnight Jewel was enchanted by the stars but he smiled when looking at Morning Star, who had stop pouting and was blushing a little, looking at stars.

A few hours later, all three fell asleep on the bed, each filly in one of Spike's arm. Twilight Sparkle peeked through the door and smiled at the sight. She was planning to let them be but her old habits took the best of her and she moved to fix the sheets. When she did, a sleepy Morning Star got up and hug her tight.

Twilight smiled as she put the filly back into the sheets, tugging her tight along with her sister and Spike. She left the bedroom, gave Rarity who was looking from the hallway a small kiss on the cheek and softly closed the door.
