This story began before Twilight became an alicorn. Before the attack on the Crystal Empire. Before Queen Chrysalis and the changelings. Before Discord broke free. Before Nightmare Moon Escaped and Luna returned. Before Twilight came to Ponyville. Even before Twilight became Celestia's student. This story doesn't begin with any of that. It began with two little newborn fillies by their mother, Twilight Velvet. One filly, a lavender purple unicorn, wakes up and walks around the hospital bed. The other, a dark blue pegasus, lies sleeping until prodden by her sister. She giggled with youthful delight and continued the tap to her mother, who returns the affectionate touch. The fillies' father enters the room and instantly smiles with joy. This is the first time he has seen his daughters. They wondered for a moment who the strange stallion wass. They wondered where they were and what they should do next.
Twilight Velvet smiles and says,"Girls, this is your father, Night Light." The two fillies turn their heads to greet their dad. Night Light's smile disappears for a moment when he sees the pegasus foal.
"Well?" Twilight Velvet asked. "What should their names be?" she finished.
"How about we name one after you, dear?" The foals' father queried.
"Are you sure? There are plenty of names-"
"But none are as beautiful as yours, Velvet."
"How about we put something else in the place of "Velvet"?"
"Ok, how do you feel about Twilight Sparkle?"
"It's perfect! Now what for the other one?" The two fillies continued playing, unaware of the decisions their parents were making.
Muttering under his breath, Night Light said,"Dear, how did that foal turn out a pegasus? Why not a unicorn?"
"I don't know, but she's extremely sweet and playful. Now what should we name her?"
"I don't know... she's night colored..... how about something related to night? Nyx ought to do the trick." Night Light finished with a forced smile. Twilight Velvet sighed with relief as her stallion had tried to show some compassion towards the misunderstood foal.
"Let's just see how the future turns out." Twilight Velvet finished as she rested her heavy head on Night Light's shoulder.
