Today…
“Mom!” said the daughter, “you’re lover was…
A mare?”
Twilight Velvet snickered and pointed to a portrait on the wall of a dark blue mare in black uniform, she was a very attractive older mare. She was oddly familiar looking, but Twilight couldn’t place her.
“Dream was my first lover and my first love.”
“Does dad know?”
“Of course he does,” said Twilight Velvet. “And what’s wrong with that? It doesn’t appear to bother you and…
Applejack.”
“Mom!” said the daughter, “I thought you said using psionics on me wouldn’t work!”
“It doesn’t,” snickered the mother. “I just know my daughter hasn’t shown any real attraction to colts. And she has some very close friends. You can’t be that close without some attractions happening. I just guessed that the one pony that was closest to you in temperament and sensibilities would be your choice.
And honey, you could do so much worse than Applejack.
Like that arrogant showoff, Rainbow Dash.
Or that drama queen peacock, Rarity.”
“Mom!” exclaimed the daughter, “they’re not that bad!”
“I know honey, I was just kidding, and I know that you love them, they’ve been good friends of yours.
But Applejack is an attractive, hardworking mare. I’m glad for the two of you. Next time you come to Canterlot, bring her with you. I’d like to get to know her better.”
The mother and daughter hugged.
“So tell me more,” said the daughter.
“Honey,” said Velvet, “it’s getting late. I’ll be happy to talk to you about this some more tomorrow. You can stay here tonight if you want.”
“That’s okay, I think Shining and Cadence want to use my old room for Flurry Heart. Besides, I really do need to go to my tower.”
“We have a guest room you can sleep in,” said the mother.
“Applejack is waiting on me at the tower…”
“What’s that honey?” said the mother with a smile. Twilight Velvet heard her, but from the blush, it was fun to make her daughter repeat it.
“Applejack is waiting on me at the tower,” said the daughter blushing even brighter.
”Why didn’t you bring here with you today?”
“She had work at Sweet Apple Acres,” said Sparkle, “she was to meet me tonight and I was going to bring her here for breakfast.”
“Good!” said the mother, “I have so much to tell her about her marefriend.”
“Mother!”
“And being she’s not an Alicorn. I’ll be able to tell what my daughter has been up to.”
“You wouldn’t!”
“No honey,” laughed Velvet, “I wouldn’t.”
The two laughed, hugged and went out to say good night to the rest of the family.
Outside Twilight’s tower, Twilight could see dim lights on in the lower level. But from the top where the sleeping area was, under the glass dome was a brighter light burning. Twilight smiled.
After entering and locking the door she called out.
“Jackie, honey!” called out Twilight.
“Up here Sugar Cube!” came AJ’s response.
Twilight happily trotted up the stair into the open forelegs of her marefriend. As they kissed they tumbled onto the bed and was soon deep into their lovemaking.
A couple hours later, the couple were snuggled together in their afterglow.
“What’s up Sugar Cube?” said Applejack seeing an odd look on Twilight’s face, “ain’t Ah cuttin’ the mustard in bed no more fer ya… Princess?”
“No Jackie, nothing like that. You make love splendidly!” said Twilight, using the pet name only she used. “I’ve just learned a lot about my mother today and am trying to put it together.”
“Like what, Lover Pony?” said AJ, giving Twilight a small kiss.
“We’ve been together about 3 years now, we’ve realized and confessed our love to each other. But I’m starting to feel odd hiding it like we have.”
“Ah have no problem with bein’ open ’bout it.” Said Applejack, “Ah’d love for our friends and family to share in our joy. Ah love ya so much Twilight, and to tell the truth, hidein’ it only makes it feel like we’re doin’ somethin’ dirty. Or that we’re ’shamed of what we’re doin’.”
“Then would you mind coming with me to my parents’ house in the morning?” said Twilight.
“No problem Sugar Cube,” said Applejack holding Twilight closer, “Ah’d love to get to know yer folks better.
What brought this up, Sweetie?”
“Remember how you were shocked when you found out the things about your parents that you didn’t know?”
“Yeah.”
“I found out some things about my mom’s past I never would’ve guessed. I knew she was in the Royal Guard, but oh boy! I didn’t know how much. And believe it or not,” said Twilight with a gleam in her eyes, “I found out my mother’s first lover was a mare!”
“Oh! No!” said AJ in mock shock, “how shameful!”
Twilight suddenly climbed on top of AJ, AJ snickered.
“I’ll show you how shameful!” said Twilight.
Soon AJ and Twilight were making love again with vigor.
Twilight and AJ entered the Sparkle home. The two were very happy because of their decision to ‘come out’ and tell everypony about their relationship.
“Anypony home?” asked Twilight.
Twilight’s mother came trotting into the front room from the kitchen.
“You’re here,” said Twilight Velvet excitedly.
She trotted over to the couple and to Twilight’s surprise and amusement, her mother passed by herself and she hugged and kissed Applejack.
“I’ve been waiting to meet you and get to know you better,” said the mother.
She took AJ by the hoof and led her into the kitchen. Twilight stared at the door that the two mares had disappeared through.
“Don’t I even get a hello?” said Twilight to nopony there.
Twilight’s mother stuck her head out the door and called out to her perplexed daughter.
“Don’t just stand there in the door silly! You’ll let all the flies out1. Get your flanks in here and help me and this beautiful mare fix breakfast!”
Twilight chuckled as she went to join her mother and marefriend.
It wasn’t long before the breakfast was fixed and was set on the table. Twilight Velvet called the rest of the family in to eat. As Shining, Cadence and Flurry Heart came in, they noticed Applejack. They’d been told about Twilight’s marefriend last night and reported that they knew her quite well.
“Applejack!” said Cadence trotting up to the Earth Pony.
“Hello princess,” said AJ hugging Cadence.
“Applejack,” said Cadence, “you might as well be family now. My family calls me ‘Cadence’. Does Twilight have you address her as princess?”
“No,” said AJ with a smirk. “But she does make me bow to her before getting in the bed with her!”
“Jackie!” exclaimed Twilight.
“Applejack,” said Shining, “Cadence has me do that as well.”
“So its gang up on the princesses day,” said Twilight the daughter.
“Perhaps we should make some royal decrees to these common ponies, Twilight,” said Cadence.
“Yes,” said Twilight the younger, “and I can think of a couple when we get back to the tower!”
Everypony laughed.
After breakfast everypony sat around just talking. Because of the size of the meal, everypony was starting to fade out. Shining and Cadence took Flurry back to their room. Applejack, Twilight, Night Light and Twilight Velvet were in the living room. After a time. Night Light and Applejack were snoozing on their chairs. Twilight Velvet got up and motioned her daughter to follow.
Twilight Velvet had some strong coffee for herself and her daughter. They went into the mother’s office and pulled the door almost closed.
“They’ll be in a waffle coma for some time.” Said Velvet, “we can talk some more if you would like.”
“I’d love that, mom.”
