Starshine Eclipse

As dark as the night, but as bright as the stars, and as cuddly as a toddler can be. #Twitterponies

@mlp_TenderCap "Weeeeeeeee!"

As well she should. Because if they both keep going like that, the bathroom will be flooded with soap and bubbles once again.

Not that it would be a main concern of Starshine. She's just trying to outdo the much older filly in splashing.

"Weeeeee! Weeeeee!"

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

And what she seems to also fail to remember is that bath time is a lot of fun.

"Too, too! Waachout that shippy!"

Especially when the caretakers bring out the SS Bubble Blaster.

What is the best way to get Starshine to take a bath?

A) Chase until tired
B) Say there will be bubbles
C) Offer fun bath toys
D) Some combination of the above?

Not even the caretakers know what'll get the toddler filly running with a taco shell as a hat to take a bath.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

🎶You can get me!🎶

Starshine believes herself to be pretty clever. And it's not without reason. Nopony would guess the giggling, fleeing menace was once so scared of her present home.

But what she fails to remember is the caretakers are clever too.

@mlp_OHO "Babbol! Weeeeee!"

Little Starshine doesn't see danger. She sees fun and adventure.

"Jobee! Medaah! Babbol!" she squeals to Ms. @mlp_Jovi, Ms. Meadow, and everypony going into the bubbly chaos.

It's going to be a fun afternoon.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

.......or judging from the wall of bubbles coming from a bathroom, she dumped a whole bottle of bubble bath into a tub that was filled with water.

"I do it!"

.....it seems she will be helping with a chore very soon.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

"I do it! I do it! Yeah! Weeee!"

What has she done? What is going on that she has such a big smile on her face?

Did she color something pretty? Perhaps she helped with a chore. Or maybe she has she gone potty. It would be about time.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

It will be her first Hearth's Warming in @mlp_OHO. Nopony would guess, but it's her first real Hearth's Warming in general.

Her sleep and routine will be spoiled tomorrow, but a little happy time with all the other ponies will do her little heart so much good.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

Staying up late isn't good for little toddlers, or any little ponies in general.

"Yay! Yay! Look, it's shiny!"

But how can Starshine go to sleep with so much exciting stuff happening around her? It's impossible to do something as dumb as sleep.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

Little Star may not be a top food critic. Or perhaps it’s in her future.

But when it comes to a picky eater like her, seeing if what’s for dinner is something she will eat is something that would probably make even the best chef in the world sweat.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

The time has come once again.

A nerve wracking, hoof biting time where the pony at the end of the table in the dining area will give her verdict on whether dinner is good or not.

The cook’s success depends on what this very important pony says.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

“Yummy!”

…she likes it, and she shows her approval with another mighty, messy chomp of her food.

Ms. Meadow, Ms. Curly, and the other caretakers look on with amused smiles at how Starshine eats, wondering just how messy the little filly will be once she’s finished eating.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

//I had to get my Portal reference in too, @mlp_OHO. 😊💖

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

She soon joins @mlp_moCupcake, @mlp_Gidgie and all her other friends and housemates in going to sleep, dreaming wonderful dreams.

...though hers are oddly filled with singing metal creatures. Friendly ones, luckily.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

Despite a long day of fun, imagination, hugs, and everything bright and colorful, it's a wonder little Starshine is still awake and wants to stay awake.

"Nuh wanna sleepies" she grumbles to @mlp_Jovi as she is tucked into her bed, thinking a few faces will buy her more time.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

That's until she hears the music box that Ms. Silver starts playing.

Her protests turn into mumbles, which then turn into the little filly falling asleep while sucking on her own hoof like a tiny little foal.

It's such beautiful, calming music.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

And that caretaker would be Nova Nightwing, back from the unpleasant but necessary task of changing Starshine’s diaper.

“Nini, @mlp_moCupcake. Nini” she says from atop the bat caretaker’s back, with the caretaking agreeing that Mocha should go to sleep.

[Starshine Eclipse @mlp_StarEclipse]

@mlp_OHO She did do it. She's helping. She's gonna pick it up one bit at a time...but she's not really gonna like it. Unless they make it fun for her.

//I kind of copied some of the video. LOL 😆
