Like Shining, I was grounded for two weeks. There was no inventing, no friends coming over, and only my parents to hang out with. I could still watch TV or play outside, but TV gets boring and it's not fun to be alone. At school, I talked with Shining even though I wasn’t supposed to, and she told me to ask what happened.
Outside of school, I spent a lot of time with Dad; we would go fly kites, ride bikes, and we even went swimming. Those two weeks, I had the most fun with my parents that I had ever had. While we were going to get food for dinner, I asked him about Mom and Silver Spoon.
“Why is Mom so angry at Shining’s mom?” I asked.
“You should ask her yourself,” He replied
“She never tells me, and I want to be friends with Shining, but they are getting in the way,” I said.
“Just friends?” Dad asked, giving me a cheeky grin.
I blushed and responded, “Yes! Now will you tell me?”
“You wont understand,” He responded.
“Why wouldn’t I?” I asked.
“It’s about love and grown up stuff,” He replied.
“I bet I would understand. Please tell me,” I begged.
“Ok, but don’t tell your Mom,” he gave in.
He told me about Polished Pebble, the CMC, and everything else. We were almost home by the time he finished.
“Now I need to talk to Shining. Why does it have to be Friday?!” I moaned.
“And I thought foals loved Fridays,” He laughed.
“I normally do, but I can’t talk to Shining until Monday.” I responded.
We walked inside and set the food down on the table.
“Took you two long enough,” mom said sarcastically.
“Don’t blame us, the line was long,” I said with a laugh.
We sat down to eat our food. I found out a lot of information; I just had to remember until I could talk to Shining and we could come up with a way to get them to make up.
