twilightpony | Spring Foals Day

It's Spring Foals Day. This is the day that we give treats to expectant mares and new born foals! So I decided to visit Cadence. She's the only expectant mare I know, and she is also my sister in law.

There were a lot of ponies getting off the train at the Ponyville Station, but when I boarded, I only found a few headed to the Crystal Empire. According to my copy of the report from the Annual Assembly of Equestrian Municipal Affairs, there has been some immigration to and emigration from the Crystal Empire since it emerged from Sombra's spell, but not much. That includes a familiar name: Sunburst. That gives me an idea. I'd better check the Equestrian census data to see if this is Starlight Glimmer's Sunburst, or another pony. Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns should also have a forwarding address for Sunburst. Yes! This would be perfect for a friendship lesson! Rekindle an old friendship! I'll add it to my list.

I arrived in the Crystal Empire and went straight to the castle where I found Cadence getting buried in flowers, blankets, sweet treats and the like. I brought her a book. She is _huge_ and uncomfortable and my brother looks flustered and worried. It will be OK. This is Equestria, we have the best magic. They also look tired so I didn't stay long.

Later, back in Ponyville, I stepped out to look up at the stars. The Crystal Heart is sending up a shower of colored lights that are drifting like ribbons across the sky. The crystal ponies are very proud of their princess. You can feel their joy all across Equestria.
