Drax was again sitting at his favorite table at Sugarcube Corner, enjoying his favorite pastime. He watched as a bouncy earth pony flew all over the place at once, working on setting up yet another party.

She was a beautiful and happy as ever, no worse for the injury he had accidental inflicted when she tried to stop a very confused dragon from leaving in the night. The scar ran down the side of her face, but was barely visible. Magical treatments by Twilight would eventually cause it to fade away completely, but he would forever see it. It would remain in his mind and heart as a reminder of how close he came to losing her.

He turned away a moment to look out the nearby window, and into the wet streets outside. The weather ponies had scheduled a light drizzle to soak things down and give some relief from the summer heat. It kept most ponies indoors, and gave Pinkie Pie a day to set up for tomorrow’s big event. He couldn't even remember who it was for, but it was something that Pinkie had been humming about all day.

As his focus shifted, he saw his reflection in the glass. For a moment, he was stunned. There in the reflection was not a pony, but a human face. His human face. The reflection moved of it’s own accord, and brought a single finger to it’s lips, begging silence. Trying to get a closer look he leaned forward, and the image was gone, replaced by his own pony muzzle, and the streaking rain outside.

He puzzled over what he had seen, but was soon distracted by the vision of a plump, pink, pony posterior. Pinkie was backing up as she pulled a streamer out to hang. He gave her a playful clop on the rump, and she squealed in delight. He couldn't help but notice that the rump was a bit softer than he remembered. In fact, while he was definitely in the Sir-Mix-Alot club regarding girls with some bodacious booty, Pinkie seemed to have really packed on some pounds lately. ‘Tons of Fun, indeed’ He chuckled to himself.

She was always a bit plump, but now she was bordering on fat. Her stomach seemed to be getting a bit bigger, and she was eating alot more than her usual fare. Which for Pinkie, meant twice a normal pony diet anyway. It was starting to concern him, and he finally decided to mention something.

“Uhh... Pinkie. I gotta wonder. You do seem to be getting a little.. umm, fluffier than usual lately.” He paused as she spun around to look at him curiously. “I mean, I always love my little marshmallow pony, but you may wanna consider cutting down on the snacks, ya’know, for your health and all?”

Pinkie just giggled, and loud piercing giggle like the old days. “Oh Draxy! I know you love me the way I am. And I was sooo caught up I forgot to tell you the surprise!”

Drax started to sweat. “Um.. surprise?” He said nervously.

“Well, I been feeling a little funny lately, so I went to see the doctor yesterday.”

“Umm, Doctor? And, what did they say?”

In response, Pinkie Pie stood on her back hooves and started singing, while rubbing her belly.”

‘Our little Pony,

Our little Pony...’

Suddenly it dawned on him that all the decorations were pastel blue and pink. Twilight’s words echoed through his mind. ‘Even the three pony tribes cannot interbreed without special spells. And Princess Celestia is one of the few that know the cross-race magics.’

Drax just facehoofed, yelling, “DAMN YOU TROLLESTIA!!!”

As the image of the happy couple faded from the viewing bubble, the Princesses of Equestria looked at each other and smiled at what they had seen. They both laughed at the dark stallions consternation, and knew he was just as happy, despite his protests.

“So, Sis? Did you have to make him a fertile alicorn?” the darker sister asked.

The dawn sister replied with a musical laugh. “I figure it’s the least I could do after we sealed away his power. And I remember it was you that decided to make him Immortal.”

“Yes, well...” The midnight mare kicked at the floor shyly. “It’s like you said Celly, all I need is patience, and love will come to me. Now he has all the time in the world, and all I have to do is wait.” She looked up into her sister’s eyes. “He’s happy now, and I am willing to wait my turn. I deserve to be happy too, don’t I?”

Celestia sighed. “And hopefully one day he will be ready, and we can return his power to him. Then you will never be alone again, and the two of you can rule together, forever .”

Suddenly a large pink mass popped out of a flowerpot nearby, shouting. “FOREEEEVERRR!!!”

Both alicorns jumped at the sound and faced the all-too-serious pink face.

“Dammit Pinkie!” Celestia cried. “I told you never to do that in the palace!”

The pink pony smiled brightly, “Sorry boss!” and disappeared out of sight again.

The white mare chuckled. “That Pinkie Pie, always so RANDOM!”

Luna just looked confused. “How the hay does she do that anyway?”

Celestia just laughed, and winked knowingly. “Even I don’t know the answer to that one.”

The dark mare shook her head, looking disgusted. “Those two are gonna have some really weird kids.”
