Student and Teacher, Servant and Mistress, Citizen and Ruler, Friend and...Lover?

"Mom!" Starburst wailed, desperation breaking through that resentful dignity that teenagers compose themselves with so often. Her coltfriend chuckled, earning him a kick just beneath his anchor cutie mark.
"Well, you must admit, it was a very nice bonnet." Celestia smiled that soothing smile.
"'I'm gonna be a pioneer pony! I'll make a house on the prairie and live there like a big pony all by myself!'" Twilight helpfully contributed, her teasing born more from nostalgia than a desire to see her daughter squirm.
Starburst sighed, making a show of rolling her eyes, and her parents shared a look.
"Oh, don't be like that Starshine. The only way you'll get to know him better is if you share each other's secrets, and that includes the embarrassing ones." Celestia and Twilight shared a look, memories flooding back to them.
"I remember Grandpa Gravity telling me a story about when Tia first started trying to manifest herself as a pony. She couldn't control the fluids, so she always showed up having pee--"
"And that is a story that only family gets to hear." Celestia interrupted with a good natured smile.
The colt gave another, rather more nervous, chuckle at this, brushing aside windswept sea green hair from in front of his eyes.
Twilight opened up the accursed photo album again, making Starburst seethe. "Here she is at two. She insisted upon eating all the blueberries whenever we brought them home."
The stallion raised a skeptical eye, so Twilight swivelled the album around to show a filly, cheeks stuffed and stained with light blue splotches, sitting triumphantly amidst a trio of baskets. "All of them."
Starburst buried her crimson face in her hooves. "Mom!"
The pair of tormentors noticed the clench in their daughter's shoulders and the way she seemed to be trying to shrink into the sofa, and shared another knowing look."And here she is trying to fly. She built her own wings out of feathers and wood. They were beautiful, and they worked very well with a little boost." The page displayed a pony held aloft on orange structures flapping in a field of salmon magic.
"Her first prize at the science fair. She did a project on rare insect species, including one she discovered herself."
"And here she is giving a speech against bullying in the fifth grade. We were very proud."
Starburst pulled her face out of her hooves.
"You cried."
Twilight bristled. "I did not!"
Celestia turned the page, and to Twilight's great embarrassment there stood a lavender alicorn dabbing at her eyes with a hoof. This was met with chuckles all around. Once Twilight regained her composure, she reached out and touched the colt's elbow.
"Our daughter has made us very proud, and we hope she'll be very happy with you, as we've been very happy with her." The eyes of the two rulers moved past the colt, both staring at their daughter with something like sadness and regret. Starburst blinked at them, tilting her head at the sudden display, but it was gone as quickly as it had appeared.
"And here's the time she fell into Pinkie Pie's cotton candy mix and we had to shave her completely bald."
Starburst's eyes widened to the size of dishes, and her scream echoed throughout Castle Canterlot. "Moooooooooooooooooooooom!"

Ah, poor Starburst. I can feel her pain.
Hmm, Grandpa Gravity? Does that mean Celestia's grandparents are the four fundamental forces of the universe? Yes please.
4960123 This headcanon actually predates Gods In Law, but yes, from the beginning in the Making Magic 'verse Tia's parents were Matter and Gravity. Oh, the stories they have to tell.
4960142 'When Tia first tried to make a star to attach herself to, she put too much gas into it and formed a blue giant. She cried so much when she collapsed into a black hole, and Gravity had to fish her out'.
4960155 The end of the story Twilight was trying to tell was that Celestia could never get the fluids in her body right when she was first manifesting, so she always had a runny nose, runny eyes and, erm, runny legs, shall we say, whenever she showed up. As a result, she only stayed as long as she was needed and so gained a mythological reputation for appearing only when ponies needed her.
4960142 Any connection between Celestia's parents in this verse and the God In Laws one? I don't imagine so, since the God In Laws ones were inadvertently pricks.
4960341 Not even close. The Ones in Gods In Law are very different from Gravity and Mass.
"Oh, don't be like that Starshine."
Got her name mixed up once. Otherwise, nice story.
So when she cries out 'Mom!" to whom is she referencing? Heh
4960500 Starshine is a nickname.
4961721 Ah I see. A little confusing given her real name. But all good
4961787 Indeed. Perhaps I should have put it in italics. Oh well.
4961847 No, it was pretty obvious. Lots of peeps call their kids Sunshine, so Starshine as a nickname made sense to me.
