Pixel: ….. and then I grabbed Api and then Echo save both of us from falling off the cliff with her awesome flying skills!

Sweetie: ……………. I'm going to have to tell your father to keep a closer eye on you. Anyways, it sounds like you had a lot of great adventures while I was gone

Pixel: Yeah! Today we were supposed to go this awesome waterfall that Api and her dad found

Sweetie: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were supposed to play with your friends today

Pixel: It's okay. I'd rather spend more time with you

Sweetie: Heh, well I guess we had the same idea, huh?

Pixel: What do you mean?

Sweetie: Your daddy and I were supposed to go on a lunch date today. But I'd rather spend more time with you. whispers Don't tell him I said that giggles and kisses Pixel on the head

Pixel: giggles I won't say a word

Sweetie: Hey, have you ever had the milkshakes at Sugarcube Corner?

Pixel: shakes head

Sweetie: Would you like one? They're my favorite you know

Pixel: Really? Sure I'll have one!

Sweetie: C'mon

enter the store

Mrs. Cake: Sweetie Belle! Long time no see

Sweetie: Hi Mrs. Cake! How are you?

Mrs. Cake: I'm just fine. So what brings a celebrity like you here?

Sweetie: Just here to buy one of your amazing milkshakes for my daughter

Mrs. Cake: One milkshake coming up!

Pixel: Yay!

Mrs. Cake: Here you go!

Pixel: Thank you!

Mrs. Cake: And for you Sweetie Belle?

Sweetie: I'll just have a water, thank you.

Mrs. Cake: Here you are

Sweetie: Thank you! Goodbye Mrs. Cake. Say hello to the family for me!

Pixel and Sweetie leave Sugarcube Corner

Sweetie: Is it good Pixie?

Pixel: It's great! Just like you said! But…… why didn't you get one?

Sweetie: I have a show coming up

Pixel: What does that have to do with anything?

Sweetie: Well, I have to watch my weight

Pixel: But you look fine, Mommy

Sweetie: chuckles Thank you, Pixel. That means a lot.

Pixel: But I still don't get why you can't have a milkshake

Sweetie: Well, I've been cutting back on the sweets in general

Pixel: …..?

Sweetie: sighs You see, Pixel, when you're a celebrity, society expects you to……. look…. a certain way

Pixel: That's silly!

Sweetie: Tell be about it.

Pixel: Do you have to listen to society?

Sweetie: Not really but………. in the world I'm living in, image seems to be everything, sadly. I make one wrong move and my reputation could be ruined and I could lose my career. I get paid generously and I'm doing what I love and I want to be able to provide for you. I don't want to risk losing something like that

Pixel: Hm…………….

Sweetie: I wish I had the courage to completely be myself. But I know you have it. So promise me Pixel, no matter what anypony says, you be yourself okay? Just like daddy. And if they don't like that, well, that doesn't matter.

Pixel: nods

Sweetie: Good. I just want you to be as happy as you can be

Pixel: But what about you? You should be happy too

Sweetie: I am very happy. I promise. I'm singing, which is what I've always wanted to do, I'm married to an amazing stallion and I have the best daughter in the world.

Pixel: But I bet you'd be happier if you could have a milkshake.

Sweetie: giggles Maybe

Pixel: Here! Have a sip!

Sweetie: Oh, Pix

Pixel: C'mon! I don't think one sip will hurt

Sweetie: ……… smiles and takes a sip Mmmmmm

Pixel: Are you happier now?

Sweetie: Mmhm. Thank you, Pixel
