May 14th
I’m gonna pick up where I left off yesterday, sort of. So not much happened for a while and then Mum figured out she was pregnant, when she started to suspect she went to the doctor and she confirmed that my mother was going to have a foal. The first ponies Mum went to were her parents obviously, they didn’t take the news so well. The were shocked and horrified that their daughter was going to be a single mother. They decided that abortion was the only option because Celestia-forbid they have a bastard grandfoal, Mum being a headstrong seventeen year old told them that she was going to keep her foal, scandal or not. Her parents argued, pleaded, cajoled and threatened but Mum stood strong. So they just went with the easiest option, they disowned her, they couldn't let their irresponsible daughter tarnish the family name. Turns out that both my parents came from pretty important families and their union would have been A) the match of the century or B) a massive scandal frowned upon by all society. 

The party was earlier, and when I say party I mean it in the loosest sense of the word, the whole thing was so dull that I actually nodded off a couple times (and was subsequently scolded for it). I was hoping I could find something to do but Dawn kept me with her so she could parade me around like a a trophy, it was really annoying. All the ponies teated me like some poor orphan who Dawn had saved and who deserved pity and patronizing smiles, I tried to be as rude and antisocial as possible without upsetting Dawn.

See you tomorrow!
