A lot is happening in this picture so let me take this one at a time.

• Hazy has just been adopted by Twilight so he isn’t used to all the closeness and affection yet. He’s still his rough and crude self here. He does not like being touched by other ponies.

• Desert Moon, as a Sphinx hybrid, has trouble staying awake during the day. Sphinx’s aren’t naturally nocturnal so she is often found sleeping during the day like her mother and decided to Hazy is as good a pillow as any. She is a very deep sleeper (sleeps like the dead.)

• Flurry Heart is the oldest of the group so she is foal sitting them all, just to make sure no one is fighting or misbehaving. She is immensely amused by all of her baby cousins.

• Fang brought his best friend, Olive Branch, with him this time and wanted to introduce him to his cousins. Sirius is eager to meet the colt but Olive isn’t comfortable talking to ponies other than his mother and Fang. Fang understands and tries to stand by him to show he is there for him.

Note: Desert Moon and Hazy are the same age, while Sirius is slightly older than Fang and Olive. Ages:
