Short Hand: Old Man Shepherd Family Dinner

In the future, at the Shepherd-Sparkle family table…

Shepherd: "Pass the potatoes please."

Twilight: "Shepherd, did you beat that dragon senseless?"

Shepherd: "He was asking for it. Besides, you took out that alien invader with the sun last week."

Spike: “Honestly Twi, that guy is an asshole.”

Twilight: "Even so! He didn't have to break his tail in ten places!"

Shepherd: "Woman, have you not seen the size of that dragon? I had to break it in ten places or he wouldn't have noticed!"

Twilight: "And cutting off his wing?"

Shepherd: "He wouldn't stop strafing me from the air!"

Spike: “He called himself Blackwing the Destroyer. He was so edgy. Pass the peas.”

Shepherd: “Sure thing.”

Dawn: "Mom, don't be so melodramatic. So Dad maimed a dragon. Sounds like the dragon was asking for it."

Ray: "Sounds like it was awesome, Dad!"

Shepherd: grins "It was."

Twilight: "Ugh. Can't you at least be a little ashamed?"

Shepherd: "No. Besides, after beating some sense into him, he was willing to be friendly."

Twilight: sigh "Fine... Quasar, can you heal Blackwing tomorrow?"

Quasar: "Sure Mom. Dad, can you take me out to see him?"

Shepherd: "Yes yes, I will."

Twilight: "And maybe I can talk to him myself?"

Shepherd: "Twilight, come on. You have that big conference tomorrow."

Twilight: "And I need an excuse to skip it."

Shepherd: Smiles "You naughty mare. Playing hooky?"

Twilight: Smiles back "I blame your influence. Leading me astray."

Shepherd: “Please, I just gave you an outlet to be naughty. Don’t put all this on me.”

Dawn: makes a face “Eww… Quasar, Ray let’s go. We don’t want to be scarred for life… Again.”

Shepherd: “Scars build character!”

Twilight: “They definitely do! And your father's scars are also quite manly... And hot-"

Quasar, Spike, Ray and Dawn push away from the table. They then troop out, in resignation.

Shepherd: "Alone at last."

Twilight: "Just as planned, heheheh..."

Time skip like 10 years or so?

[Even Evil Has Standards]

I agree with 5620291. A decade is appropriate.

Apparently Ray is the invisible child. He didn't leave, yet they think they're alone.

[sykko]

So does Ray have kids with the other elements or just Twilight?

[Hawkx1]

Shouldn’t Fluttershy be there too unless unlike the OG Hands Shepherd will only stay with Twilight

Twilight: "Shepherd, did you beat that dragon senseless?"

Shepherd: He never had any sense to begin with. Thus the beating.
