Sunburst got the ring, he's got the girl, all he needs is her father's blessing.
But Firelight, the overprotective, overbearing parent that he is, won't give it up without a (metaphorical) fight.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Don't be like the Firelight in this story and support your kids.
"Don't be like Firelight" is good parenting advice in general, even just from what he does in the episode and independently from what else we know about how his daughter turned out.

I just got that out of my head! (but it kinda slaps, honestly-)
Better idea, Sunburst. So that your "if-sister" Sunset could bombard Starlight instead. 😑😒😂
Adorable af
Hah, I actually kinda want to see that now, because surely Firelight's not going to back down that easily...and I can only imagine how Cadence will react to that. The ensuing argument between them might've even come to blows.
No, no, no--joining the poker game with Firelight might actually be a good idea. It'd give you the chance to talk and maybe prove a point about yourself in the process...depending on how you ultimately play. But I'd expect Sunburst wouldn't be too bad a poker player, assuming he can bluff with a straight face.
I'm now picturing the pony having been born with that namesake beard of his--it'd at least explain the name, though!
Says the father who frequents the place like this...to say nothing of the assumption that just because Sunburst showed up here once (and with the explicit goal of speaking with him above all else, which would suggest right off the bat it was a special occasion not a norm if he'd just stop and actually use his brain for a second) means he frequents the place at all.
But of course, Firelight's just grasping for excuses to keep saying no.
You're right that Firelight would probably more likely have had no objections at all to this normally, especially since he showed no issue with Sunburst the one time the two got to interact in-show, and were even fairly friendly...but at the same time, I can totally see Firelight pulling this same sort of stunt over Starlight anyway, because he really is that overprotective, so it all works out in the end, really.

"You get in the way of my ship, you catch these hooves." Cadence, probably.
It would be until Starlight finds out that Sunburst "won" her in a game of poker but he probably would be good at it, he certainly has the brains to play the game, though his poker face might need a little work.

Oh yeah, he grew into it alright. derpicdn.net/img/2018/5/11/1729771/full.png
Hypocrisy at its finest, but an overprotective father will do what an overprotective father must do.
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed this little story.
Saturday mornin', jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old fashioned man
Yeah (yeah)
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'til the day I die
"Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) yeah, no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
Standin' at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'tll the day I die
"Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still no"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Rude
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'til the day I die
"Tough luck, my friend, but no still means no"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Oh, yeah, oh
Why you gotta be so rude?
Why? (Yeah)
Why you gotta be so rude?

Thanks! I wish I had the talent or the programs to make a music video, but sadly all I can do is write.
