//------------------------------// // Ch. 12 // Story: Twilight's Diary // by Marvelous Cheshire //------------------------------// Dear Diary I happy to say that there has been some decent progress between my parents and Trace. Not a lot of progress, but a decent start. Mom’s definitely more comfortable around Trace, though it’s still clear she’s not that happy with me being with him instead of a pony. At the very least she’s agreed to give him a chance, so there’s definitely hope that she’ll grow to like him in the future. Dad on the other hoof hasn’t really changed much, but then again he seemed pretty accepting the first time he met Trace, so I can’t complain. I guess I should be glad my parents are at least willing to give him a chance, since I’m still having doubts on shining. Every time I try to think of how I might be able to get Shining and Trace to get along, I can’t help but feel that it won’t work, like there’s something that’ll keep Shining from being able to really accept Trace. I guess the only thing I can do is simply wait and hope for the best.
