"Oh Rainbow, she's beautiful!"
Twilight tried her best to keep the bashful blush on her face from growing, but it was no use; it was too late for her.
But one couldn't blame her. She had just gotten back from a long, tiring session with some diplomats, taking the place of Celestia for the day. She hadn't even expected Dash to be at her house, let alone with Scootaloo and her parents in tow.
"But honey, it's not like we should be surprised. After all, if anyone could bag a Princess, it would be our Rainbow Dash."
However, once Twilight heard that, her bashfulness disappeared, and was quickly replaced with irritation. What, was that all they cared about? The fact that she was a princess? She knew Dash didn't feel that way, but Twilight never did consider that her family wouldn't be the same.
Yet, at the same time, Twilight felt self conscious. What if she wasn't a Princess? Would they still approve? She only needed Dash's approval, but having her family on her side was still something she wanted. And, if being herself wasn't enough for them...
"So, what does she rule over? The stars? The land?"
The mare, however was interrupted by her husband.
"Of course not, dear. She's clearly the Princess of the skies. Rainbow Dash wouldn't just be with anyone less."
The thought made Twilight freeze. Nope. From the sounds of it, they barely approved of her as it was. And she couldn't blame them. Rainbow Dash was an amazing mare, and she was lucky to have her as a Marefriend, princess or not.
What if they didn't approve of her merely being the Princess of friendship? What if they convinced Rainbow that she just wasn't worth it?
No, she had to find a way to prove herself. But how?
"Ugh, dad-"
She had to start as soon as possible.
"Oh, uh, one second, please."
The three adults and one excited child all turned to look at Twilight, but she paid them little mind, as she built up the energy to make a quick teleport.
"Be right back."
And, just like that, Twilight enacted her spell.
And, almost immediately after, felt like a wreaking ball hit her in the face.
"HOW DARE THEE INTRUDE UPON OUR SLUM- Wait. Twilight?"
Twilight just let out a small groan, as she slumped against the wall. She then felt the cool, calm magic of Princess Luna surround her, and help her to her feet.
And, once she caught her bearings, saw the she was in Princess Luna's bedroom.
Wait. Was that a teddy bear? Nope, didn't matter. She had Dash's parents to impress.
"Princess Twilight. You of all should know the connotations of teleportation into someone's abode without consent. Especially when one is asleep."
Twilight, however, ignored Luna's lightly lecturesque tone. She had to fix this, now.
"I need to be the princess of the sky."
The words just burst out of her mouth before she could stop herself, and she mentally gave herself a slap. That wasn't how she was supposed to do this. She had to-
"Done. Now get out. We'll discuss repayment at a later date."
There was a long moment of silence after that, before Luna scowled.
"Uh... just like that?"
"Just like that. Now, out."
Twilight just gave a small nod, and disappeared in a flash, reappearing in her living room yet again.
"Back! So, uh-"
"Already explained it, Twi. You know, princess of friendship and all that. They're cool about it."
Oh.
Twilight forced a smile upon her face, and nodded. "That's good. So, uh, who's hungry?"
