I had prepared everything, run it by Celestia, Luna and their parents and I managed to not have any problems setting it up. I had the kitchen staff making some good food (with maybe a bit of an incentive to do a good job). That said, I hope nothing screws this up, I don’t think I could stand those infernal tense stares between each other, honestly starting to get my nerves.
I had actually spent today going to a an all-race school (kind of like Ponyville but Griffons, Zebras and the like come here), the teachers there are nice, I picked a class at random and the teacher reminded me of Cheerilee, had the same attitude and such. Foals being foals, they ask a lot of questions and such, I remember back when I was a kid, I was curious as all hell.
But hey, at least the foals were well-behaved, try that in front of Diamond Tiara back in the day, of course any noble’s kid that wasn’t in some race-specific school or Celestia’s school of Gifted Unicorns was probably told to be on their best behavior so it saves their parents’ reputation. You can just tell who’s a noble’s kid by looks alone, they look pampered and everything and usually been brainwashed about how they act in society. Aside from all that, it’s nice to see the foals with their adorable faces and the like, and its nice to see the teachers caring about their jobs, I did talk to a few and I did play with some of the kids although I may have deliberately gone easy on them in tag but they are still scumbags like Earth kids with the safe rule thing by making just about any object being safe when they are about to be caught.
Overall, today was a nice day, maybe I should drop in on the Ponyville kids sometime, makes me wonder if our dear Crusaders are still blowing stuff up or causing general chaos, surprised Discord hasn’t tried to make them his protégés.
But tonight was it, it was an hour and a half away, Rarity being Rarity was putting up all her makeup and such and then the girls would dress up in their dresses, apparently “Casual” didn’t mean anything to Rarity, at least the other girls’ dresses were more simplistic, I just had a casual royal outfit while Celestia was in her usual attire (Celestia only truly tries when there is a real need to impress) and as for the ‘rents, I have no idea.
I have been chilling in Celestia and I’s bedroom, Celestia was making herself look a bit more presentable, while she is in usual attire she looks a bit better at these sort of things and you know females, they love to take their time.
“Jason honey, what lipstick is better? This or This?” Celestia holds out two lipsticks with a tiny difference of colour.
“I’d say any Sunny-bun, you’ll still look good either way” I told my wife.
“Please, I really do need to look at an acceptable standard” Celestia says.
“Alright fine, hmmmm…I’d say go the redder lipstick” I just flipped a coin in my head to decide.
“Okay thank you Jason” Celestia goes back to the bathroom.
Sometimes I do miss the internet, would pass the time, hell I’m impressed I’m not locked up in some insane asylum from lack of internet when I first came here, how I got used to no internet is beyond me, especially no online games and such. Right now I’m just reading a random book, thankfully not Daring Do, her adventures are good but it gets boring reading it for the 50000th time and hearing about it too. I sort of grew out of it, it's like Harry Potter, I stuck all the way but I kind of stopped reading once done.
Alright, about 20 minutes to go, seriously, I do not understand how Celestia takes over an hour with just improving her beauty a “touch”. Some things in the multiverse or whatever it is don’t change it seems. May as well get ready now, woe betide me if I am ready AFTER Celestia is fully ready.
Okay wait is over, Celestia and I are finally going down to the dinner, and boy am I hungry…for food and friendshippy feelings between Celestia and her parents. As we entered the room we found all the bearers there, Rarity being a little over-formal…okay little is understating it but you get what I mean. Give 2 minutes and the in-laws came through the door, It wasn’t anything too complicated, thought they’d end up wearing something like a relic or something.
Speaking of which, it’s occurred to me, how is that they are speaking perfect equish now but Luna is still uttering a few of old Equish words every so often, I didn’t hear any of that from their parents and their tastes are modernized. Either they researched a lot or the taste of this generation is full circle from theirs and Luna’s tastes were some fad before she was banished.
“So Twilight, how’s the Casa de Friendship going?” I asked Twilight.
“The what?” Twilight asked, confused.
“Being a Princess of Friendship, how’s that going?” I ask Twilight again.
“Oh…it’s alright I suppose, although who knew so many ponies had friendship problems? I actually get a lot more than you’d think” Twilight replies
“Yeah, ponies do have a lot of issues” I say that opinion.
Yeah, I am living in a pool of issues right now, this whole thing being one of them.
I ate some of my food, it was quite nice but everytime I looked up I saw Celestia and the parents doing glares at each other, it was really starting to annoy me. Applejack and Pinkie were right into their food, Rarity was eating in a ladylike manner, Twilight had noticed the stares and Dash and Fluttershy were talking to each other.
Twitch.
“So nice dinner huh?” I asked the Alicorns.
“Yes it is” Celestia says.
“Really? You just keep staring at your parents” I pointed out.
“Well they stare at me” Celestia replied in defense
“That’s because you keep looking at us” Celestia’s father pointed out
Annnnnd here it goes…
“You were looking at us, Celestia, there’s no denying that” the mother said.
“No I wouldn’t look at you, not after you just show up after so long and no excuse for it” Celestia said coldly
“Well WE TRY to explain it but you always interrupt and-“ the father started.
“Explain what? That you abandoned Luna and I and that you suddenly expect us to accept you back! Well I got news for you, it doesn’t work like that and-“ Celestia ranted on.
Okay that tears it, I can’t take it anymore!
“-and another thing-“ Celestia continued
“ENNNNNNNNNOOOOOOUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I yelled out so loud that room shook.
Everypony looked my direction as I got out of my seat in anger and before I knew it I opened the closet door and I had thrown my wife and her parents in that closet! And no, I have no idea how a human with barely a six-pack just throw a literal goddess wife and her even more powerful parents into a closet, if I question if further there may be insanity down that path I fear.
“Luna” I gave a signal to Luna.
Luna nodded and cast a spell to lock the door so they can’t magic out…this was a last resort plan.
“Alright, here’s the deal! None of you are getting out of that closet until you are ALL FRIENDS! FRIENDS! F-R-I-E-N-D-S! And don’t you dare try to lie about cause I got my living lie detector here and the Princess of Friendship here and they know a sincere friendship when they see one!” I said to the occupants on the other side of the closet door.
“Jason this isn’t-“ Celestia started.
“NUP! Don’t want to hear it, you will be on good terms and you will like it!” I said through the door.
“Is this really necessary you’ll have nopony to be in bed with” Celestia tries to reason with me.
“If I need somepony, there’s always Luna, honestly, it’s amazing she hasn’t found a lover by now and who knows what mess you would’ve been in if I didn’t find you” I reply through the door once more.
“You wouldn’t dare!” Celestia hissed.
“Try me, but the fact is that you and your parents have been staring at each other for FAR too long and Luna and I have had enough!” I look towards Luna who nodded.
“Jason, are you sure this is a good way?” the father questioned.
“And you, your wife and your daughter are gonna be one happy family, so there better be hugs, nice outings and stuff planned by the time you get out and if I see so much as one cold word, one glare, it’s back in this closet, clear? NOW GET TO MAKING UP!” I shout through the door.
Now, they might be pissed afterwards but they’ll be pissed together. But yes, this was a last resort plan, but I guess it had to be done because sometimes the direct brash approach is best, it’s for their own good, you’ll see…
