Leafstorm watched in silence as her parents tried to get rid of Ocean Smog, she was Chocolate Brown in color her mane and tail were Ocean Blue. she had her window open and was listening as the argument went down. The sheer level of entitlement coming from Ocean was unbelievable.
"Do you know who I am?" Ocean demanded, "The Kirins I know, I'll have your rinky-dink antique store shut down like that!" Ocean punctuated her threat by stomping her hoof on the ground. "That card is rightfully Astrals, I can't believe you think for a second that your sad excuse for a daughter..."
"Finish that sentence!" River said, moving forward "I fucking dare you to try and talk down to my daughter!" Ocean was about to give her retort when a hoof closed Leaf's window, blocking the sound out enough for it to be unintelligible, Leaf over as Sunrise who was giving her a nervous smile.
"I'm sure mom and dad have this," he said with a smile, "And if Aunt Ocean starts winning old Pop-pop will come out and open a can o whoop-ass on 'er,"
"Sunrise," Comet called from the door, "You said you were gonna stop teaching Leaf new swear words," Sunrise looked at Leaf and winked, earning a giggle from her.
"I dunno what you're talking about," he called to his brother "I'm just comforting her"
"Sure you are ya cheater," He called back, Sunrise chuckled.
"To be fair," he said whispering to his sister "Comet and Pop-pop made that rule after I had already gotten most of the comics," he smiled "So I call not being a cheater on a technicality," Sunrise patted her head and left the room, Leaf watched him go and waited a moment before reopening the window, the sounds of an angry entitled aunt not getting her way was music to Leaf's ears. But that didn't last long as Her old life had presented a unique opportunity for her. To be able to go see her old friends and family again and reminisce about all the good times, the only thing preventing that was her lack of proof to back up she was Spike since most of what she knew of her old friends was just basic history at this point,
"Hey, Leaf you coming down for dinner? you've just been staring out that Window all day." Pop-pops voice called from beyond her door as Leaf blinked in surprise and checked the position of the sun to find she'd been at the window a good few hours,
"Sorry, Pop-Pop just thinking about Discords offer," she called back as she shut the window, lingering just a moment as Aunt Ocean stormed off, screaming about shutting down their store, before locking it shut and leaving her room, she turned to head downstairs before calling behind her "By the way you two suck at sneaking,"
"Lies," Comet replied as he and Sunrise joined her on her way to Dinner "You just have amazing hearing,"
"It's unnatural," Sunrise added "It's like you've trained your hearing to pick out small noises that most others would miss,"
"Like that time you heard the stink bomb in your room and let Astral walk in first," Comet said with a laugh, the other two joining in as they thought back to the event,
"Man he was so P-" Pop-pop's head appeared at the bottom of the stairs as he gave Leaf storm the stink eye "-iiiiiiieeeeeeved off, Peeved off, yeah that's what I was saying,"
"watch it Leafy, we all know what you were really going to say," Pop-Pop warned.
"Sorry, Pop-Pop." Leaf storm said with a hung head.
"It's alright but just between us Your hearing is really spooky." He joked with a chuckle
"My hearing isn't that good I just clean my ears." She muttered as her brothers howled with laughter behind her, the fun was interrupted when the front door slammed and the three siblings jumped. Their parents made their way into the room, Onyx was grumbling and River was literally steaming. Leaf caught what Onyx was grumbling as he walked past him.
"stuck up entitled cunt," He looked over and fell on his face when he saw Leaf raise her hooves to her mouth in reaction to his words. "Oh no, please tell me you didn't hear that," he begged.
"I could lie but that won't make the word any less real to me," she replied through her hooves, hiding a huge grin as she tried not to laugh as River helped Onyx up.
"What happened?" River demanded, Onyx tried to think up a reason but Leaf already had one ready,
"I was just asking daddy what cunt means," River and Pop-pop instantly gave the twins a death stare, who held their hooves up in surrender.
"I did not teach her that!" They both screamed out in synchronized fear. River looked down at Leaf who smiled at her.
"That bad of a word hu?" She asked.
"Where did you learn that word?" She demanded, her tone soft but her eye's hard.
"Aunt Ocean," Leaf storm replied "I'd forgotten about it but seeing her again reminded me of the word," She smiled innocently, her lie guaranteed not to fail, thanks to it not being a complete lie. River didn't both fact-checking as she instead started smoking harder.
"Leaf honey," She said with an amazingly leveled voice, "That is a very, very, bad word, please don't use it again, I'll have to ground you again if you do,"
"Oh, OK," Leaf replied with a sweet smile as her mother walked into the kitchen, the sound of water could be heard, followed by a huge cloud of steam coming out of the kitchen. Pop-pop made his way to the kitchen to open a window and air the room out while Onyx looked down at his daughter, there was a moment of silence before he sighed.
"As thank you for not sicking your mother onto me you can get that Power ponies game," Leaf light up.
"But I'll take it away if your Grades drop,"
"I'm in first grade," Leaf storm called back "If my grades drop it's because I got bored and fell asleep in class, not cause an awesome game," Onyx didn't reply as he made his way into the kitchen for Dinner, The Twins were staring at each other for a moment, then at Leaf who was smiling, They where sweating, waiting for her to say it.
"Sunrise gets 2nd player," she decided.
"Curse you!" Comet cried out as Sunrise and Leaf made their way to the kitchen "Curse you and your oath-breaking ways!" there was a moment of silence "I call fighting winner," he called out as he ran to the kitchen.
