“Uuuuh, I´m so nervous! So excited! So nervicited! Wait, that word isn´t enough! Twilight, thesaurus!”

“Here you go, Pinkie.”

“Do you always carry one with you?” Rainbow Dash asked but Twilight simply shrugged.

“I´m ecstatic! No, that one is no good. I´m flabbergasted! No, that sounds like a nasty tasting food. I´m...gobsmacked!”

“That´s a word?” Applejack asked and Twilight shrugged again while Pinkie Pie bounced all over the ward.

“My Pinkie, you seem to be even more excited that with the Cakes´ twins birth,” Rarity commented, while Fluttershy watched her friend go up and down. “But I suppose the news about your parents having another baby will put you in such a good mood.”

“I just can´t believe I´m going to have another sibling!” Pinkie said, crashing through the roof and coming back inside the ward from the front door. “Aren´t you gobsmacked too, Lime, Marble?” she asked her sisters who were present in the room.

“Yes sister, we can´t contain our enthusiasm about mother´s accomplishment,” both twins said in a creepy monotone voice.

“Pinkie, no offense, but your sisters are kind of...weird,” Rainbow whispered to her friend.

“Nonsense bounces, they´re just like me!”

“Say dear sister, you think mother will return to work or we must continue doing her share of the labours?” Limestone asked.

“If it comes to that, we could ask the baby to do our share of the labours,” Marblestone said and bot sister laughed in an unsettling monotone tone.

“Yeah...really creepy,” rainbow said but Pinkie wasn't paying attention, having her face glued to the window of the ward.

“Hey Pinks, how ya feel about being an older sister now?” Applejack asked, placing an arm around her.

“Oh silly filly, I´m already a older sister.”

“Ya mean those two are younger than you?”

“We were the family babies,” they said, laughing again and Rainbow rushed to hide behind Fluttershy.

Finally the nurse came out to tell the they could go in and Pinkie rushed inside the room to meet her new sibling.

“Oh it´s adorable!” Fluttershy said.

“You´re right! She is...wait, she has something stuck. Let me rub this off…”

“Pinkamena Diane Pie, whatever do you thnk you´re doing to your little brother?” her father yelled.

“I´m trying to rub this thing off her…”

“Pinkie…” Twilight said in a flat tone. “That´s his horn.”

“And that´s the story of the day you were born!” pInkie finished her story with a wave pf confetti that she pulled out of nowhere.

The little unicorn colt opened his eyes wide, same way he did every time Pinkie finished a story with either confetti or fireworks and applauded her.

“Thank you. But that's nothing compared to the story of the day when I was babysitting you and you accidentally got swallowed by a hydra.”

“What?”

“Oops. I´m not supposed to tell that story.”

“Your stories are always the best, big sister!”

“Oh, thank you my sweet Crunchy Pie!” she said, giving the unicorn a tight hug.

“Sister! That´s...not my name!”

“But I like to call you that because you´re my crunchy little sweet pie!” Pinkie said, nibbling her brother's ear and causing him to giggle but suddenly, she stopped. “Wait, something´s wrong. I can tell there´s something wrong with you.”

“Is it...your Pinkie Sense, sister?”

“No, it´s my big sister knows her little brother is worried about something sense. It´s related to the other one but in a different category. Now tell me, what´s the matter?” The little colt looked away not sure if he should talk. “Come on, little bro. You know you can tell me anything.”

“Well, remember when Princess Twilight Sparkle came home for my last birthday?”

“Of course I remember! I invited Trixie to make her magic act and she got angry because Dad couldn't remember her!” PInkie said, chirping at the memory.

“Well, during the party the Princess congratulated me on my magic skills and told me that I should apply for a magic school, when my Cutie Mark appeared…” He waited for Pinkie to catch on but since Pinkie wasn´t very good with subtlety, he sighed and took off his saddle, revealing what he was hiding.

“You got your Cutie Mark! That´s so awesome! I now have to prepare a my little brother has a Cutie Mark party! A Cuteceañeara! Wait, do colts celebrate Cuteceañeras? I don´t care! You're having one!”

“Wait, sister!” Pinkie got stuck by a magic tug on her tail and fell flat to the floor. “Can I show you my special talent?”

Pinkie nodded and watched her brother levitate a rock and slice it in half, revealing a shiny diamond inside.

“Uuuuh, you can find Deep Gems. Dad is always truglgign with those. Even Rarity has problems at times. You´re going to make a great rock farmer!”

“That´s the thing. I love the farm and I know I can help father here but…” He paused and Pinkie nodded him to continue. “I want to learn about magic. I want to leave the farm and visit Canterlot and Fillydelphia and all those other cities. ou think...you think father will get mad at me if I told him that?”

Pinkie smiled, a soft, tender adult smile and nudged her brother. “Take a look there.”

They looked at the house where their parents were struggling to get two little pegasus to remain still.

“I swear Igneus, you can´t control your own grandchildren?” Pinkie´s mother said.

“They took their mother´s energy,” he complained, patting one pegasus to make her blurp.

“And their grandfathers stubbornness,” she said, trying to get the other pegasus to take a spoonful of porridge.

“I think Mom and Dad got their hooves full for another generations of Pies,” Pinkie said and drew her brother closer, giving him the real hug that he needed.
