Episode
(Opening shot: fade in to a hospital at daytime. Zoom in slowly and dissolve to the CandyCake Guppies, chattering excitedly while gathered outside the long window of the maternity ward. Vanilla, Choco, and Rainbow hover above the others. Cut to Lollipop, Caramel, and Cinnamon, seen from inside. Their voices are slightly muffled.) (Pan to the other three. Cotton Puffy, at the far ends, puts his face excitedly against the pane.) (Cut to the inside the ward and zoom in slowly over the rows of bassinets toward the mayor, who stands over one of them. Close-up.) (The movement exposes a sleeping, pale-yellow newborn colt dressed in the equivalent of footie pajamas, light blue, with a hood that has openings for the ears. A tuft of orange mane peeks out from the hood's edge. Newborn Blackjack yawns, a pair of tiny wings twitch out from his back to mark him as a pegasus. Cut to the twelve guppies, seen from inside.) (The newborn is a lavender unicorn filly in pink four-footie pjs; the bit of mane under her hood is dark blue. She yawns and starts sucking peacefully on a front hoof. Back to the ward side of the window.) (He darts out of view and is inside the room an instant later, wearing a party hat and with a noisemaker clamped in his teeth.) (He sucks in a lot of air, intending to let it go through the noisemaker, but Cauliflower arrives in a flash.) (The party guppy glances in the departing doctor's direction, then slips between the two newborns and starts to sing quietly.) (A threatening look from Cauliflower stops him cold before he can get another line out. He lets off a deflated little moan; cut to the hall as he is flipped off the head into the floor. Blueberry turns his attention to the twins.) (Zoom out to frame the mayor standing over them.) (As the mayor leans over Blackjack, Cotton springs up with a fully decorated chocolate cake.) (His shushing causes him to twitch backward slightly and hit herself in the face with the cake. He ends up with a sheepish grin framed by chocolate icing around his mouth and a beard/mustache of white from the cake's trim. Fade to black.)
 * [Caramel Cider] "Can you believe the new baby is finally here?" (Soft gasp from Lollipop.)
 * [Lollipop Pops] "Mayor Jupiter and his wife must be so proud!"
 * [Cinnamon Buns] "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl."
 * [Cotton Puffy] "I want to see the new baby! I want to see! Which one is it?"
 * [Mayor Jupiter] (softly) "Meet our son..." (pulling blanket down) "...Blackjack."
 * [CandyCake Guppies] "Awww..." (Back to the mayor; he turns to the other side.)
 * [Mayor Jupiter] (turning to the bassinet behind him) "And our daughter..." (pulling blanket down) "...Roulette."
 * [CandyCake Guppies] "Huh?"
 * [Cotton Puffy] "Two new babies for me to play with?" (Gasp.) "That two, two, two times the fun!" (The others glace his way, puzzled.) "This is the greatest day ever!"
 * [Cotton Puffy] "We need to celebrate you birthday, babies, 'cause you were just born today! Woo-hoo!"
 * [Dr Cauliflower] "Shhh! The babies are trying to sleep."
 * [Cotton Puffy] "But I was just ---"
 * [Dr Cauliflower] "Shhh!"
 * [Cotton Puffy] (dropping noisemaker) "But ---"
 * [Dr Cauliflower] "Shhh!"
 * [Cotton Puffy] (sing-song, quietly) "Happy, happy birthday to you and you today."
 * [Blueberry Jam] "Now how are one of the twins a pegasus and the other one a unicorn?"
 * [Mayor Jupiter] "Easy. My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was a pegasus, and Franny Jupiter's great-aunt's third brother twice removed was a unicorn. That makes sense, right?" (The ward side of the window.)
 * [Vanilla Cake] "Aw, yeah!" (laughing) "Just you wait. Once little Blackjack there gets his wings going..." (zipping back and forth) "...he'll be all over the place!"
 * [Snicker Doodle] "And be careful around Roulette."
 * [Gelatin Soft] "Baby unicorns get strange magical surges that come and go."
 * [Cotton Puffy] (softly) "Quick! Make a wish and blow out your candles --- which is easy, 'cause there are zero candles! You are zero years old, after all!" (Cauliflower leans in.)
 * [Dr Cauliflower] "Shhh!"
