Guess What?” Their mother Queen Galaxia said very cheerfully. “What? Another boring old royal family is coming to town?” Luna said. “Another royal family is coming to town, but they aren’t boring,” she said, “In fact they’re rather quite nice although they can give you the cold shoulder,” she said laughing at her own hidden internal pun. “But just be nice to them and make the feel welcome? Okay?” she said looking at their bored little tiny faces. “Oh, and by the way, did I mention they have a girl that’s your age?” “Really?” they said perking up with much interest, “What’s her name?” “I honestly don’t know, but you’ll get to meet her very soon enough.” “When are they coming? Please tell us that it’s very soon,” they said. “Not for another two to three weeks at the least, six to eight if they’re busy.” “No! Not that long! I want them to come today!” Both of them whined very loudly. “Now children calm down, you’ll just have to wait like the rest of us.” “But waiting is boring,” they said, “We want them to come over now!” Their mother smiled warmly and gently, “Just wait and you’ll see that it was all worth the wait, besides, we have your favorite for dinner tonight!” And with that said the girls jumped in joy screaming out in much delight, and the queen smiled to, for her ruse to distract them had worked out quite well. It was quite some time before the family arrived, and to be exact they arrived once the weather was cold enough for them, which wasn’t in two or three weeks, but instead it was the latter option but at least now they would stay until the weather changed again in spring, and also because affairs took a very long time, but when the family finally arrived Celestia and Luna were very excited, they wanted to spend as much time as they could with their daughter. But they would soon find out that they were very protective of her, and for very good reason as they also found out later, but while they couldn’t meet the family at first since they arrived with a parade welcoming them they still could at least see them. King Frosty Blaze looked very white almost like ice, and so did his wife Crystal Frost, but from this distance they couldn’t see the daughter but they also assumed that she might be hiding if she was afraid of very large crowds, or she could just be pulling a practical prank or joke like they did. But they would soon find out just how much they had in common, but sadly their time of joy would be cut short with the eventual season of despair…
