Klara and Marek were slowly walking towards the school chatting about their recent mischief.
“Oh, man, Rainbow’s face was priceless. Thinking about it still makes me laugh. Who knew that recreating the Asch conformity experiments could be so funny?” The woman wiped away her tears.
“Yeah, she was gaping like a fish not comprehending why everyone said that the incorrect answer was correct. I almost burst out laughing when she frantically started looking at the blackboard from different angles.”
“You do realize that she’ll get payback on us?”
“Yes, but it was totally worth it. I really needed to unwind after all this work as a royal researcher.”
“I couldn't agree more. The last therapy sessions left me mentally drained.”
As soon as the duo reached the schoolyard, they heard the bell and saw a lot of foals going out of the building. Their two blond children, Aquila and Sophia, ages six and seven, ran up to them.
“Hi, Mom! Hi Dad!” the girl shouted.
“Hi, sweetie. How was your day?” Klara asked with sincere curiosity.
“It was fine. We learned about wing aerodynamics today.”
The woman grinned mischievously. “That reminds me. When will you introduce us to your pegasus boyfriend?”
“Mooom! He’s just a friend!” Sophia blushed with embarrassment.
Her words resulted in a few laughs from the remaining family members.
“Don’t think that we forgot about you, young man.” Marek smirked. “Do you have your eye on someone in your class?”
“No, girls are icky! Aquila uttered with conviction.
Their parents exchanged knowing looks. “I am pretty sure that you’ll change your mind in the next few years,” Klara commented mirthfully.
After this quick exchange, all of them headed back home. The future couldn't look brighter.
