Octavia and Vinyl have been dating for months, but neither has had a chance to introduce their significant other to their families. Vinyl always dodges the issue, but when Octavia is insistent, they have a fight. This leaves Vinyl with no other option than to have Octavia over to meet her parents.

Maybe she should have told Octavia who she really was?

Dramatic reading by Goombasa available here.

Now in Russian, translated by Hopeless.

This story is a sequel to From Equestria with Love

The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow, and many wars are won and lost in darkness far from the light of day.

It could, perhaps, be understood why Celestia chose not to pursue justice against Queen Chrysalis, or free the captive ponies the changeling hive fed on. An enemy becomes all the more dangerous when cornered, and Celestia had no desire to initiate another outbreak of hostilities when the hostages were safe, after a fashion, and a peaceful solution was still possible.

Of course, not all ponies saw things that way, and many grew impatient as time dragged on. Something had to be done to end the changeling threat once and for all.

This story is a stand-alone sequel to From Equestria With Love. It is not necessary to have read the previous story.
