//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 .Waffles, Bet's, Memory's. // Story: Prince Blaze Sparkle. // by Phantom Writer //------------------------------// Chapter 5 .Waffles, Bet's, Memory's -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight sat in the living room with a cup of tea as her mind was thinking about this family reunion. "I see somepony is still up." Twilight looked to see Cadance walking into the living room "Can't sleep?" She nodded. "Is this about the reunion?" She asked taking a seat next to Twilight. "Yes, Everypony thinks i should take Blaze to the reunion and i don't want him going through being bullied. Yet, I want to take him." Twilight sighed as she looked at her old foalsitter "I don't know what to do." "I can't tell you want to do. Just do whatever your heart is telling you." She said with a little smile. "I just don't want Blaze going through that pain again." She said looking at Cadance "I know, But if anything goes wrong he has all of us to be there to protect him." Cadance said. "Then it's settled. we're going." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze smiled as he saw Luna walking towards him. "Hello Blaze, How are you tonight?" She asked taking a seat next to him. "I'm doing good. Auntie Cadance and Uncle Shinning are staying with us along with grandpa and grandma." "That's good." Blaze notice something was off about Luna as he could tell something was wrong. "Is everything okay?" Blaze asked. Luna looked down at Blaze "No, It would seem i'll be going away, I don't know how long i will be gone and this will be my last time coming into your dreams." "What! Why!?" Blaze was starting to panic. Ever since he moved to Ponyville he couldn't visit Luna like he use to and the dream world is the only time he could ever see her. "I know this is going to be hard for the both of us, But i will try my best to come and visit you when i'm not busy." She said trying to keep herself from crying. "Then we better make the best of tonight." Blaze said getting up and dragging Luna off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight made her way into her room as she looked at her son who was sound a sleep with a smile on his face. "I bet Blaze is dragging Luna in to some kind of an adventure." Twilight smiled as she climbed into bed as she gave Blaze a kiss on the forehead as she pulled the cover's over body and closed her eyes to get a goodnight sleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning came to early for Twilight as the sun shinned through the window. Twilight pulled the blanket's over her head as she tried to hide from the sun. That's when she smelt something delicious cooking "It can't be! I smell mom's homemade waffles!" Twilight jumped straight up making her son eyes go wide. "What's wrong mom?" Blaze asked slowly getting up while rubbing his eyes. "Nothing is wrong sweetie. I just smell grandma's homemade Waffles." Twilight slowly got out of bed as she made her way into the bath room to go get the shower ready. "Are they any good?" Blaze asked crawling out of bed. This made Twilight looked at her son in shocked "Are they any good? Are they any good!? THEY ARE AMAZING! You'll love them." Twilight said as her son walked into the bathroom. "Am i getting a shower after you?" He asked still tired. "You can take a shower with me." She said as she checked to make sure the water was nice and warm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After they gotten cleaned Twilight and Blaze made their way downstairs and saw Star and Dusk in the kitchen "Morning Twi! Morning Blaze!" Dusk said as he put down his news paper. "Morning Grandpa!" Blaze said getting up at the table. "Morning Dad. Morning Mom." Twilight said taking a seat at the table. "Waffles will be ready soon." Star said with a smile. Twilight notice Shinning floating into the room which made Blaze laugh as Shinning stopped right in front of the Waffles "Mmm. I knew i smelt something." Cadance walked in looking at her husband "He just floated out of bed and down the stairs, Please, Tell me how you did that." Cadance asked taking a seat next to Blaze. Star chuckled "I'll share this recipe with you and you'll be able to get him out of bed with out any fuss." Shinning took a seat next to his wife as he waited for the waffles to be done. "Thank you." Spike walked into the room to see everypony "Oh, I don't have to worry about making breakfast for everyone." For once he had a break from cooking. "I make breakfast." Twilight said. "And that's why Spike cooks." Blaze said. This made Twilight glare at her son. "And what's that suppose to mean?" She asked. Blaze gulped "You burn the food." "I do not burn the food!" "You do." Spike said. "I do not! I'm a wonderful cook!" "Mom, You can make cookies and cakes and pies but when it comes to real food... You burn it." Blaze said patting his mother's back. Twilight couldn't believe it! Her own son was calling her a bad cook. "Mom, Don't worry, You make the best chocolate chip cookies!" He said with a smile. Star placed the plates in front of her kids and grandson and her daughter in law and her husband and Spike "Eat up!" She said with a smile. Blaze took a bite of his waffle and his eyes we wide as he tasted the best waffle in his entire life. "Told you." His mother said taking a bite of her waffle. After breakfast Shinning and Cadance took Blaze and Spike to the park so Twilight could talk to her parents. "So, Have you thought about the reunion?" Dusk asked. "Yes, And we're going." Twilight said with a small smile "If things get out of hoofs i'm taking my son and leaving." "We understand." Dusk said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike sat on the park bench reading a book while Shinning was pushing Blaze on the swings. Cadance sat next to Spike "So, Is Twilight cooking that bad?" Spike chuckled "Not as bad as Sweetie Belle's cooking, That's for sure." "HEY! MY COOKING IS AMAZING!" Sweetie Belle yelled. Spike slowly turned his head to see Sweetie Belle standing there with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "Oh, I need to go use the little filly's room." Cadance said walking away. "I didn't mean it like that." Spike said raising his hands up as an angry Sweetie Belle came towards him. Blaze saw Sweetie Belle yelling at Spike "I see she found out about Spike kissing Apple Bloom." This made Apple Bloom blush and Sweetie Belle look at her best friend "YOU KISSED SPIKE!" "Ah only kissed him on the cheek. It's not like i kissed him on the lips." "I've also kissed him on the cheek." Scootalo said blushing too. "WHAT!?" Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said in shocked. "Don't act so surprise, He helped be carry some of my things and i gave him a kiss on the cheek for his help." All three girls looked at back at Spike who was sweating "Why didn't you tell us one of us kissed you?" Apple Bloom asked. "Well... I didn't want to hurt your guy's feeling's." Spike said hoping he would survive this. Blaze watched as the girls went into a huddle and this made Spike sweat bullets. "We decided to let you off the hook for now. But remember if one of us kisses you tell one of us so we know." Apple Bloom said as they began to walk up to Spike as each one gave him a kiss on the cheek and made there way away from the park leaving a very red dragon behind. "D-Did he just get three fillies to kiss him?" Shinning asked in shocked. "Mom said fillies would be lining up at the door just to date Spike." Blaze said looking at his shocked uncle. "I had to work for my kisses and he manged to get all three!" That's when he felt dagger's. He slowly turned his head to see his beloved wife "Hi honey." "You're sleeping at a hotel tonight." Cadance said as she walked away. Shinning took off after his wife leaving Blaze and Spike to watched him go flying into the bushes as his angry wife made her way back to the house. "Bet you ten bit's he'll go flying ten feet when he try's sneak in through the window." Spike said. "Make it 20." Blaze said. "How did you make 20 bits?" Spike asked shocked. "Been saving my birthday money." He said with a smile. "Nice. You have a deal." They both shook hands. They made their way towards Shinning who was looking up at the sky. "She had to be standing next to me when i said that." Shining said as Spike and Blaze helped him out of the bushes. "Don't worry, She'll forgive you." Blaze said "Just, Go buy some chocolates and a big box of cupcakes." "I agree with him." Spike said. "You think?" Shinning asked. "Of course! It's the best way to say i'm sorry." Spike said. "Alright! Let's go!" Shinning said as Spike and Blaze followed Shinning. "Nice idea with the cupcakes." Spike said. "She's going to need something to throw at him that doesn't hurt him." Blaze said as the two chuckled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Later that night. Spike and Blaze sat outside with a bag of popcorn as they watched Shinning go flying into the air as cupcakes came flying out towards him. "That's more then ten yards." Blaze said holding out his hand. "Remind me to never make a bet with a seven year old kid." Spike said giving Blaze ten bits "How did you know he'll go passed ten feet?" "She's pregnant, When a pregnant mare is angry her magic will be ten times that of a normal unicorn and since she's an alicorn i knew she would be a lot more powerful." Blaze said making Spike jaw drop. "I'm telling Twilight not to let you go through her books." Spike said. "Who said i was reading mommy's books?" Blaze said with a sly smile. Blaze placed his bit's into his pocket and chowed on some popcorn as he saw Shinning try again to speak with his wife. "Honey, I'm sorry." Again Shinning went flying as Twilight came walking out of the house and saw her son and Spike sitting in some chairs as they watched Shinning and Cadance fight. "You two are watching them fight?" She asked. "Yup." Both of her boy's said. "How much did you bet?" She asked looking at her brother go flying again. "I bet ten bit's for ten feet and Blaze bet 20 bits for a long flight." Spike said. "And you won?" She asked Spike. "No, I won." Blaze said with a smile. Twilight couldn't believe it. Her son manged to beat Spike in a bet. In all the years she had lived with Spike she could never win a bet. "And how did you win?" Twilight asked wanting to know his secret. "Well, Since she's pregnant and being very emotional. So her magic would be ten times more powerful then any normal mare and since she's an alicorn it would be ten times worst for Uncle Shinning." Blaze said hoping his mother wouldn't question how he knew this. "Have you been reading my books again?" "No, You told me to stop so i did." Blaze said sinking into his seat. "Have you been in the attic?" Blaze began to sweat "N-No." "I'm buying a lock for the attic door." Twilight saw her brother go flying again "I have five bit's he'll give up in an hour." "I have 10 bit's for two hour's." Spike said. "I have 20 bit's on Uncle Shinning giving up right now." Blaze said making both Spike and Twilight look at him as Shinning walked by them. "I'm going to crash on your couch." Shinning said making his way inside. Both Spike and Twilight couldn't believe they just lost to Blaze "How did you know he was going to give up?" Twilight asked. "Did you not see him land in the thorn bushes?" Blaze said as he took the bit's from his mother and his uncle Spike "I'm going to go clean up and get ready for bed." Blaze smiled to himself as he made his way into the house. "He reminds me of you." Spike said getting out of his chair. Twilight smiled as she made her way into the house "I knew reading to him when he was a baby was a smart idea." Twilight saw her brother pulling thorns out of his side as she made her way up the stairs "Night Shinning." "Yeah, You too." Shinning said as he yelp in pain as he pulled out another thorn. She made her towards her room when she heard Cadance and Blaze talking "Don't do what your uncle Shinning does." "I won't Auntie Cadance. Mommy tough me to treat a filly right." Blaze said with a smile as he placed his bit's into his piggy bank. "How much do you have saved up?" "About 40 bit's." "That's a lot of bit's. What are you going to buy with your bit's?" "I'm going to buy Luna a birthday gift. I saw this necklace that has a blue gem that is shaped like a half moon. I just need ten more bit's before i have enough to buy it for her." "Your so sweet." Cadance said "I'll give you ten bit's to scratch my back." "Okay!" Blaze quickly rushed over to his aunt as he used his finger's to scratch Cadance's back. Twilight quickly rushed to her room and grabbed her camera and took a picture "Another one for the scrap book." Twilight made her way back to her room and pulled out her scrap book as she placed the picture on her book. She went to close the book when she notice a baby picture of Blaze when he was three years old and the memory came flooding back into her mind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze sat on the couch with a sippy cup in his hands as his mother sat reading a book. "And that's how Equestria was founded." Twilight said with a smile as she looked at her son as he sucked on his sippy cup "Did you enjoy the story?" Blaze just smiled "I take the smile as a yes." She kissed Blaze on the cheek as she used her magic to put back the book "Someone needs a new diaper." She said smelling Blaze. "Let's change you." Twilight used her magic to pick Blaze up and placed him on the changing table "I need to stop feeding you carrot's." Twilight said as she cleaned Blaze butt and it made Blaze giggle. She put a new diaper on Blaze "All clean." She picked up her son and made her way back to the couch as she pulled out another book and began to read. After awhile Blaze wanted another sippy cup so she got up and made him another bottle. She gave Blaze the sippy cup as she sat down next to him and found the chapter she was on. What came next made Twilight eyes go wide "Thank you. Mommy." Twilight couldn't believe it. Her son just spoke for the first time. Twilight quickly rushed to find her camera as she snapped a picture "My little boy said his first words!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the memory ended. Twilight was sad as she looked back towards Blaze room. "He's growing up so fast... I wish time would go slower!" She closed the book so she wouldn't go through the pages at all the picture's and memory's of her and Blaze. She put the book back and made her way into the bath room to go get a quick shower so she could get ready for bed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After her shower she made her towards her son room to see Blaze sound asleep next to Cadance as Cadance was sound asleep. Twilight pulled out her camera and took a picture. After she took the picture she used her magic to pull the cover's over the two and made sure they were tucked in. She gave her son a kiss on the cheek and made her way out the room. She turned off the light and crawled into bed. "Tomorrow, I'll have to pack up Spike and Blaze for out trip to Canterlot for our Family reunion... I hope everything goes well." Twilight closed her eyes as she tired to get some sleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Continued.
