Evening Glimmer walked around her bedroom as she hummed to herself. She used a feather duster cleaning up her room as the rest of her host family did the same in their rooms. Having a pair of head earphones listening to one of her favourite music. As she dusted on her desk, she saw her journal that her mother gave her vibrated. She blinks before puts away the duster and picks up the book.
Opening up the book, Eve looks inside seeing the letters form from the sender. “Hello, my precious Evey! I wanted to check up on you since I haven't heard anything from you for a while. How are things going with you and your friends?”
Eve smiles before she picks up her pen. “Hello Mother! I have been doing well and my friendship with my friends have never been stronger! We hang out regularly and tend to get ourselves in all kinds of crazy stuff. Thankfully it isn’t as crazy when you and your friends would get into.”
“That’s good to hear! I’m glad that you’re not getting into any of those magical adventures. Don’t get me wrong, I would be very fascinated that you could use magic in the human world but I think not facing any dangerous magical beings would be good.”
“Heh, I know. So how are you, Dad and the twins doing?”
“Oh, we’re doing great! In fact, we’re about to come and visit you!”
“Really!? I would love to see you guys again! It’s been so long since I’ve seen all of you! When are you guys going to be here?”
“We are planning on coming hopefully next Friday. And be there for the weekend.”
“That would be amazing! I can’t wait to see you all again!”
“Me too! I can’t wait to see you again, Evey!”
Eve smiles brightly at the news of seeing her family once more. She got up and was about to tell her foster family, however her body right at the door and her mind froze on a single thought. Her expression went from blank to horrified as the single thought made her realize the horrors of what could happen.
“Oh no…. I forgot to tell them about Blaze!” Eve said. “If Dad finds out about him during their visit…. He’s gonna kill him! And there is no way a week is enough time for him to get over the fact his little girl is dating! Oh Celestia, what do I do!?.... I have to talk to Blaze!”
Eve rushes out the door and makes her way towards the Writer household. After sometime, she makes it to the house and knocks frantically on the door. She waited patiently for a few seconds before she knocks more aggressively.
“Come on, come on, come on!” Eve said. “Open the door already!”
The door opens up and Sunset stood there. She raised a brow at Eve. “Evening? What’s wrong?” she asked. “Why were you-”
“I’ll explain later but I need to find Blaze!” Eve said. She rushed pass Sunset and went up the stairs.
“W-Wait!” Sunset yelped.
Eve went up towards Blaze’s room and burst through the door. “Blaze! We got a real problem!” she shouted. “My parents are-!......”
Eve’s eyes widen as her face turns bright red. Seeing Blaze only having on a tower around his waist as he was slightly wet. Blaze looks back at her with embarrassment and holds on his towel tightly.
“E-Eve!? What are you doing here!?” Blaze asked. “You couldn’t have knocked first!?”
“EEP!” Eve covers her face. “I’m sorry! I needed to tell you something! B-But I can wait downstairs for a moment!”
“Please do!”
“.....” Eve peaks as she looks over her boyfriend’s slender figure.
“EVE!”
“I’m going! I’m going!” Eve ran off downstairs.
Blaze groans as he closes the door. After a few moments, he came down the stairs to see Eve sitting on the living room couch. He went over to her and sat next to her.
“Alright, what was it that you needed to tell me so badly?” Blaze asked.
“Okay…. My parents are coming here to visit,” Eve answered.
“Oh that doesn’t sound so bad,” Blaze said. “But why were you hurrying to come and tell me that? Seemed kinda crazy to-”
“I haven’t told them about us yet…”
“..... What?”
“And um…. You know how my dad is, right?” Eve asked. “Like…. How he chases off all the suitors by suing them? Even the ones that try to talk to him about arranging a marriage with me?”
“..... I mean…. That was a few years ago, right?” Blaze said. “I’m sure he would be willing to-”
“Blaze, I care about you with all my heart so I need to tell you this,” Eve said. “I’m afraid that he will bring every bit of Equestrian law just to keep me from being with you. I am more afraid that he would make it that I never come here again just so he keep me from dating you.”
“.... But we’re not in Equestria,” Blaze pointed out.
“Right, but he take me back to Equestria,” Eve countered. “Which means if we run to Equestria, we’d be twice as screwed there than we’d would be here…. So yeah, we need to play this cool.”
“You mean pretend we haven’t been together even though we’re still early into the relationship and have no idea how to act like a couple?” Blaze asked. “.... Yeah, I think we’d have no trouble with that.”
“I swear Blaze your sarcasm is so inspiring,” Eve commented. “Anyways I’m glad you’re understanding about this.”
“Well I don’t see much harm not getting chased off by your dad.”
“Okay, now you’re just pushing it.”
“Sorry.”
“Anyways I’m glad to talk to you about it,” Eve said. “So we just keep things a secret and act casual. Probably be a good idea we don’t see each other while my family is here.”
“Good idea, I’ll stay put and let things settle down,” Blaze said. “But since you’re here, we can hang out here and spend some time together while we can.”
Eve smiles before scoots over closer to Blaze and laid her head down on his shoulder. He smiled back at her before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Eve returned the kiss. “I would love that,” she said.
“Awwwe!”
Blaze and Eve looked over to see Sunset peaking on them.
“MOM!”
As the week had gone by, Eve prepared herself for the visit of her entire family. She stood alongside her adopted family waiting by the statue. She looks at all of them for a moment and clears her throat.
“Okay just to make double sure, you guys aren’t to say anything about Blaze,” Eve said. “I mean it, don’t tell them I have a boyfriend!”
“Eve, would you relax?” Star said. “It’s going to be perfectly fine. No reason why we would even bring it up.”
“Yeaaaaaah like we’re going to talk about you and Blaze randomly,” Nova added. “Oh look, Blaze and Eve made out in the locker room! Oh now they’re going shopping together! That’s so interesting!”
“I get it already! Sorry!” Eve said. “I’m just really nervous about seeing my folks and bros is all.”
“Naw, it’s fine,” Zero said. “We get why you would be like this. But don’t worry, it’ll be a fun week with your family!”
“Oh, I think they’re coming!” Twilight said.
Everyone looked over to the statue to see something flashing out of it. A large mattress came out and landed on the ground before someone came out of it as well. A woman that was strikingly similar to Twilight only with her hair down and having no glasses on. She bounced on the mattress and lands on her feet gently. She patted her skirt down and looks over to Eve.
“Evey!”
“Mommy!”
Eve and Princess Twilight rushed towards one another and hugged happily. As the two were hugging one another, another person had came through the portal. He had a lean athletic built, black, well kept, short hair and bright golden eyes. He brushed his shirt before looking over to Eve and Princess Twilight.
“My baby filly!”
“Daddy!”
Eve’s father ran up to his wife and child as they all hugged together. As the three hugged together, two more came out of the portal. They were two young boys that looked to be twins but were different in some ways. One was a bit on the short side and has unkempt, bright reddish hair, along with dark orange skin tone. He was also shorter than the other boy.
“Sis!”
“We missed you so much!” The other boy had combed, dark blue hair similar and white tone skin. He was taller than the other boy.
“Sunlight! Nightlight!” Eve chimed. “My little bros!”
Nightlight and Sunlight went up to Eve and hug her legs. She giggled before she hugs her brothers back happily.
Princess Twilight smiled looking at her children happily together again. She looked over to Eve’s foster family and waved at them. “Hello, Twilight!” she greeted. “It’s so good to see me again!”
Twilight rolled her eyes from the joke and smiles back. “It’s good to see you again as well, Princess,” she said. “How has you and Swift being doing back in Equestria?”
“Ugh, don’t get me started on that,” Princess Twilight said. “We had another monster attacking going on and he was in the middle of a case in Manehatten. And of course, with Evening being gone, there was no one to watch over the boys. But thankfully Starlight was able to watch them while me and the other girls took of it. However when I got back, Sunlight learned about a cloning spell and there were several Sunlights and Nightlights running all over the place! Poor Starlight passed out on the floor after dealing with so much of their pranks!”
“.... Oh my,” Twilight said.
“That sounds… Like a really crazy day,” Zero commented. “Anyways why don’t I get your bags and get you guys back at the house?”
“That sounds good!” Swift said. “I still need to get the hang of standing on my hind legs.”
“You’ll get use to that quickly, Dad,” Eve said. She smiles before she held her father’s arm helping guide him to the car.
The rest of the family followed and got into the car with the Gravity family. Soon enough they arrived at the Gravity household and the Sparkle family settled in their guest rooms. As Swift and the Twins were visiting with Gravity family, Princess Twilight and Eve walked into Eve’s room.
“So this is your room?” Princess Twilight asked. “My, it’s certainly almost big as your room back in Equestria!”
“It’s a but smaller than what I’m used to but I’m happy that the Gravity family let me stay here.”
“I’m glad that they’re treating you so well! Are you getting along with Star and Nova okay?”
“Yeah! They’re actually pretty similar to Sun and Night,” Eve replied. “Star is a lot of fun and really outgoing while Nova’s a bit more reserved and serious. We’ve become good friends!”
“Heh, they do seem to be like your brothers. But it's wonderful to hear that you've become friends with them! I believe you've wrote to me about being friends with another Jade?”
“Yeah! The other Jade is kind of different from ours back home. She’s a bit more uppity and not really as laid back as my Jade, but she’s nice.”
“I see, this Jade sounds a lot like a certain fashion pony I know of.” Princess Twilight giggles.
“Heh, yeah. Maybe next time my Jade could come over to visit! I’d love for everyone to meet my best friend from Equestria!”
“I think that would be a great idea!”
“Cool! I’ll write her a letter you can give to her!”
“Alright! I would be happy to give it to her! Anything else happening while you've been living here?”
“Oh! Heh, well umm… There is… One thing that’s different since I’ve been here, and I’ve kinda been waiting to tell you in person.”
“Oh? What’s this about?” Twilight looked at her daughter curiously.
“Well I’ve kind of....sort of..heh, I-I’m dating someone….”
Princess Twilight stares at her daughter for a moment. She gasps loudly and squeals. “Oh my Celestia, my little girl is growing up! EEEEEE!”
Eve panicked. “Shhhh! Mom! Not so loud! We don’t want the whole street to hear you!”
Princess Twilight covered her mouth before giggling. “Oh sorry! I got a bit excited about being a grandmother someday.”
Eve blushes brightly. “Mom! We’re not even close to that! Blaze and I just started going out!”
“I see! So you’re dating Sunset’s son? Oh that’s so cute! Is he treating you alright? You two haven’t had any sexual relations have you?”
“No mom! We’ve just been hanging out! Been going on a few dates is all…”
“I just wanted to make sure you didn’t do anything rash out of love.”
“You know I don’t do stuff like that!”
Princess Twilight giggles. “I know, I just wanted to mess with you a little. It's been a long while since we've spent some time together!”
“Heh, yeah. I missed you guys.”
“I missed you too, Evening.” Princess Twilight went over to Eve and hugs her warmly.
Eve smiled as she hugged her mother tightly.
“It feels so good to hug you again,” Princess Twilight said.
“Yeah...I really really missed you mom...Mrs. Gravity here is close...but you’re my only mom.”
“I know..... And I'm happy that you'll always know me as your only mother.” Princess Twilight leans in and kissed Eve's cheek.
Eve smiles and blushes. “Of course, and I’m excited to spend this weekend with you.”
“I'm happy to hear that,” Princess Twilight said. “Alright, on a more serious note, how are things between you and Blaze?”
“They’re good! We’ve been going on a couple of dates. Course mainly just a lot of hanging out and holding hands,” Eve explained. “We haven’t really gotten to go on official first date yet.”
“Awwwe, that's so sweet! It reminds me of my early times dating your father. He was a nervous cutie.” Twilight giggles remembering her early dates with her husband.
“Heh, really? Dad being nervous?”
“Hmhmm! He wasn't really that familiar with dating mares except with Lightning Dust,” Princess Twilight said. Her thoughts wandered off for a moment thinking of the unpleasant meeting. She narrowed her eyes. “That hag.... And I guess dating a princess would make any stallion nervous.”
“Heh, I mean yeah, you go from barley dating anypony and then this tall tall princess shows up and you somehow snag a date with her!”
“Hehe, indeed. But I am glad that he's no longer nervous around me and spend so much time with me when we're not busy with our duties.”
“Yeah that’s good. Usually you’re both way too busy.”
“Well running an entire kingdom does has its ups and downs,” Princess Twilight admitted. “But we make it work!”
“Yup! But back to what we were talking about before,” Eve said. “I’m glad you’re supportive of me dating Blaze.”
“Of course I would be, Eve! I always want you to be happy and I'm happy that you found some pony special to you!” Princess Twilight said. “....Just don't tell your father about it while we're visiting.”
“Yeaaaaaaah, I already planned on it,” Eve said. “I still remember him chasing off all those suitors….”
“Well they should have called first…. Then again, they shouldn’t have shown up period,” Princess Twilight commented. “All those dumb nobles….”
“I’m just relieved that Dad hasn’t done anything that would bring them to court… Or at least attempted.”
“Yeah…. Anyways, I would like to meet with Blaze sometime!”
“Of course! I’m sure I can set something up for that!” Eve smiles and hugs her mother happily.
Princess Twilight smiles and hugs her daughter back lovingly. “Now…. We should rejoin your brothers and father…. I know they’re going to be confused with all the human stuff here.”
“Yeaaaaaah, that sounds like a good idea,” Eve agreed.
Twilight and Eve giggled before they went downstairs.
The next day, Zero was driving around town with Eve’s family. Swift sat in the passenger side while Princess Twilight, Eve and Star sat in the back.
“Thanks again for driving us around town, Zero!” Princess Twilight said. “We really appreciate you giving us a tour!”
“It’s no problem, Princess!” Zero said. “Thought you would like to see how much our town has changed!”
“Like what?”
“Well, there’s…. I mean…. We…. Got a new shoe store over there,” Zero pointed.
“Yeaaaaah, that’s um…. Good, I guess?” Princess Twilight commented. “You could never have too many shoes…. Right?”
“Jade would definitely agree with you on that,” Star joked. “She has a separate closet just for shoes.”
“That’s Jade for you,” Eve commented.
“Well what’s important is that this is all new to your father and brothers,” Zero said. “So there’s plenty to show you guys!”
“Heh, true enough,” Swift said. “And the boys are going with Twilight and Nova for ice cream, right?”
“Right! I thought they would have themselves some nice treats while we show you guys around town,” Zero said. “And I thought Nova would be with them since he is kinda a brother to them in a strange dimensional way.”
“It does seem to be something our family is use to,” Star said. “But I don’t mind! I get a sister that’s like me!” She hugs Eve happily.
“Maaaaaybe more or less, Star,” Eve commented and smiles as she hugs Star back. “Oh! You should bring us to the game store! I think Dad would like to see all the stuff there! Especially all the Nintendo stuff!”
“Nintendo?” Swift asked. “What is that exactly?”
“You are going to have your mind blown! Trust me on this!” Eve explained. “I even got my own Switch!”
“Switch? What’s so amazing about a light switch?” Swift asked.
“.... Yeah, he’s gonna get his mind blown big,” Star commented.
Shortly they reached the game store and walked inside together. Eve went over to the Nintendo section of the store as she was explaining to her father about the games that were there. Swift found himself highly interested in them as his daughter explains. She guided him towards a demo station as he was playing some of the games they had. She giggles as he was playing Mario and keeps falling into the gaps.
“Dangit! I keep falling down!” Swift yelled. “How does anyone know when to jump and when not to jump!? They gotta keep these bad guys away from the gaps!”
“But that’s part of the challenge, Dad!” Eve explained. “You could always try some of the other games.”
“No…. I must beat this,” Swift said as he kept going with his gameplay.
“Um…. Dad, it’s just a demo. You don’t really get that far into the game.”
“I must try!”
Eve rolled her eyes and chuckles. “I’m going to go see if I can but some collector cases for my games,” she said. “I’ve been getting a lot of games so I wanted to see about getting a case for them so I can keep them together.”
“Ah huh, yeah, sure thing, Sweetie,” Swift said as he didn’t look at Eve.
“.... And I lost him already,” Eve said. She shakes her head before she walks off. She went around the section as she looked for some games. As she got side tracked, she accidentally bumped into someone as they had their back towards her. “Oh! I’m sorry! I should have paid attention!”
The person Eve bumped into looked back for a moment. It turned out to be Blaze as he looked at her with wide eyes. “Eve? What are you doing here?” he asked.
“Blaze!?” Eve yelped. “What are you doing here!?”
“I was just coming down here to look around,” Blaze said. “But what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be with your family?”
“Well yeah, I brought Mom and Dad here to show- Oh my Celestia, Dad!” Eve said. “Y-You gotta get out of here before-”
“Hey, Evie?” Swift came around a corner as he walks up towards Blaze and Eve. “I need some help! I’m getting close to the end, but I need you to- Huh? You look familiar….”
“U-Um, Hello, Mr. Swift!” Blaze greeted. “I-It’s me, Blaze Writer! Sunset’s son?”
“Oooh! That’s right! I didn’t recognize you!” Swift said. “Course I wouldn’t have anyway since I did see as a filly instead of being grown up…. And human. But yeah it’s great to see you again! What brings you here?”
“I um, was just looking around the store for some games!” Blaze replied.
“You’re into games too? That’s awesome!” Swift said. “I just started trying out this demo here and I think they’re great! I hope we can find a way to get them back to our world.”
“I’m sure we’ll figure something out, Dad,” Eve said. “But um, yeah it was great seeing you here, Blaze! So why don’t me and my Dad meet back with the others and-”
“Hey Blaze, you know where we’re staying at, right?” Swift asked. “Why don’t you and your family come by! It would be nice for Twi to have a nice visit with Sunset! I know those two always love to chat away whenever they visit one another.”
Blaze and Eve pretended to smile happily as they could but inside they were terrified. They looked to one another as they mentally and figuratively spoke to one another. The two knew if they try to make up an excuse Swift could suspect something between them.
After taking a deep breath, Blaze spoke up. “Sure thing, I’ll…. Make sure my mom knows and we’ll come visit!” he replied.
“Awesome! I’m gonna go tell, Twi all about it!” Swift said. “She’ll be excited to hear about this!”
Swift walked off as he left Eve and Blaze to themselves. Blaze and Eve’s expressions drop as they let out a sigh of relief. However Eve pinched the bridge between her eyes and looked over to Blaze.
“We…. Have a new problem now,” Eve said. “If anything goes wrong with this, there goes our dating days…. Which we haven’t even started on. How long until that date to the convention is supposed to be!?”
“I-In two weeks! I promise!” Blaze replied. “But what are we going to do?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine, I guess this was expected anyway,” Eve said. “Kinda figured your mom wanted to visit my mom anyway. All we have to do is not mention anything about us dating. My Mom is on board with us dating but we’re still keeping it a secret with Dad until we find a good moment. But we just gotta make sure no one from your family blabs about us!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they won’t say anything about us!” Blaze said. “What about your host family?”
“They’re cool with keeping it a secret. So we’re good,” Eve said. “Alright I better get back with my Dad before he suspects anything.”
“Got it…. Do we really have to go through all this trouble to hide our relationship?” Blaze asked. “I mean, I’m sure he-”
“He had the guards chase away potential suitors, Blaze. Trust me…. This is necessary for now.”
“.... Fair enough,” Blaze said. “I guess I’ll tell my Mom about being invited over.”
“Alright…. See you soon, Blaze,” Eve said. She smiles and leaned over to kiss Blaze on the cheek. She hugged him happily and walked off to rejoin her family.
Blaze smiles as well and went off.
The days went on by as Eve spends time with her family at the Gravity household. Soon the week was almost over as only two days were left until her family had to return back towards Equestria. It was the second night before they would go back home as the Writer family were driving towards the house. Each of the family members were dressed up in fancy suits and dresses.
“Mom, do I really have to have my hair down?” Sunday asked. “I like having my pigtails!”
“Honey, I know but we’re trying to look nice for Princess Twilight and her family,” Sunset explained. “It’ll just be for this night and you can go back to having your tails.”
“Alriiiiiiight…. But I get to taste the wine.”
“No.”
“Fair enough.”
Sunset rolled her eyes.
“So you guys are down with keeping me and Eve’s relationship, right?” Blaze asked. “Cause I really do want this to work for us.”
“It’ll be fine, Boy,” Soul replied. “We promise to keep it a secret that you’re dating her Even though I’m positive Swift would be alright with this.”
“What makes you say that?”
“I speak from personal experience with how comfortable I am when Sunday is going out with Altair,” Soul explained.
Everyone in the car stared at Soul with lowered eyes.
“.... What?”
“Just…. Just don’t say anything about it, Dad,” Blaze said. “Especially you, Sunday! I know you always somehow blab about stuff like this for no reason at all!”
“I don’t just blab stuff out!” Sunday retorted.
“Yes you do! You’ve been doing it every kindergarten!” Blaze countered. “Just almost a week ago, you said that Star wasn’t wearing a bra! No one didn’t need to know that!”
“I just thought it was obvious!” Sunday pointed out. “You could clearly see her-!”
“Okay! Enough of this conversation!” Sunset cut off. “We’re not having this kind of talk in the car! Sunday, don’t say stuff about other people’s privacy! Blaze, you be nice to your sister!”
“Yes, mom.” Blaze and Sunday said unison.
“Alright, we’re here,” Soul said.
They parked by the curb and got out together as they went up towards the door. Soul rang the doorbell. Shortly the door opens up and Twilight smiles seeing the Writer family.
“Hey guys! I’m so glad you all came!” Twilight chimed.
“Hi, Twilight! I’m glad to see you again!” Sunset went and hugged Twilight. “How are you doing?”
“I’m doing alright! We’re glad that you and your family is able to come!” Twilight said.
Zero walked up from behind Twilight and smiled at Soul. “Hey, Soul! Glad you can make here, man!” he said.
“Heh, trust me, I would never miss this,” Soul said as he shakes Zero’s hand.
“How are things going in the theater business?” Zero asked. “I heard there were some complications going on with the current director.”
“You have no idea,” Soul said. “Lets just say that if they had made me director, everything would have gone by faster. But for some reason this guy came out of nowhere and talked up so much about doing so many successful plays, they had to make him director.”
“So…. What other plays has he done?” Zero asked.
Soul opened his mouth as he was about to speak. But he furrowed his brow and thought for a moment. He scratched his chin. “I…. Don’t know,” he said. “You know, I don’t think he ever said what he directed…. Well, I suppose that’s a story for another time. Right now, I just want to relax and spend time with my family and friends!”
“.... You quickly dismissed that.”
“I do not want to think about work unless I’m at it,” Soul said. “It’s the only way to survive it.”
“True enough.”
The Writers walked into the house as the door closed behind them. Sunset led the way and they all got into the living room seeing Eve’s family in with the rest of the Gravity family. Princess Twilight looks up at the Writers and smiles brightly seeing Sunset.
“Sunset!”
“Twilight!”
The two went up towards each other and hug gleefully.
“I missed you so much!” Sunset said.
“Me too! It’s been forever since we’ve last seen each other!” Princess Twilight said. “How are you doing?”
“I’m doing great! I have so much to tell you!” Sunset said.
The two kept on chatting to one another leaving the others to themselves. Everyone went up and talked to one another greeting and started chatting. Time went on by as they mostly chatted about their days, hobbies recent events of their lives and so on. When they had a moment to themselves, Blaze and Eve went off towards the kitchen as they let out a sigh of relief.
“Well…. This is going better than I thought,” Blaze admitted. “Feeling tense too?”
“Yeah but mostly having fun,” Eve replied. “You and my Dad are getting along so well! You two mostly talk about the games he’s tried out but that’s still good! He’s really getting a liking to you!”
“It certainly seems like we’re getting along well,” Blaze said. “But we did also talk about his time being a lawyer. I didn’t think most of his family were lawyers.”
“They’ve certainly done a lot to help keep the laws of Equestria in great shape!” Eve said. “Actually I think he once told me that according to our family records, a member of our ancestors was one of the ones that helped Celestia make the laws! Talk about having long connection to the royal family.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Blaze commented. “But I’m glad things are going good for your folks. I don’t want to make things any awkward seeing as we’re, well you know.”
“Yes, I know and I think you for not saying that out loud or making it clear,” Eve said. “But with how everyone is being so loud, it wouldn’t hurt to say we’re dating…. Boy, that felt good to say without any fear.”
“Wait, you two are dating?”
Blaze’s and Eve’s eyes widen as they looked over to see Sunlight standing by the food cabinet. He held up a bag of chips as he eat one slowly.
“.... What?”
“Sunlight, why didn’t you say you were there!?” Eve asked. “Are you spying on me!?”
“No!..... Okay, maybe a little,” Sunlight admitted. “I was just curious why you and Blaze went together!”
“You better keep this conversation a secret!” Eve narrowed her eyes on him.
“Okay! Okay! I will, promise!” Sunlight yelped. “At least it’s me and not Nightlight saying you two are dating, otherwise he would be-”
“WHAT!? YOU TWO ARE DATING!?”
Blaze, Eve and Sunlight all winced and looked over to see Nightlight standing by the archway. Everyone in the living room froze up and looked towards the kitchen. Sunlight sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Would be overreacting,” he finished.
There was a long pause for everyone before they all looked over to Swift. His eyes wide and his jaw opened at the sudden news.
Eve smiled awkwardly and pokes her fingers together. “Soooooooo…. Anyone ever wondered what it would be like to be someone else right now?” she asked.
“I did at one point,” Sunday admitted. “Mostly it was to see what it would be a like to be a monkey. But when I did some research about them…. I didn’t want to anymore.”
All the Writer family members rolled their eyes.
“She’s your daughter,” Sunset commented.
“I know,” Soul agreed.
Swift stood up. “E-Eve, you’re dating Blaze?” he asked. “When did this happen?”
“U-Um, it was just a little more than a couple of weeks ago,” Eve admitted. “B-But I have a good reason for not telling you!”
“It better be a good reason!” Swift said. “I can’t believe you’ve started dating Blaze and haven’t told me about it! I would have been proud of you!”
“I-It’s just-.... Wait, what?” Eve asked.
“Wait, what?” Blaze asked.
“Wait, what!?” Everyone in the room said unison.
“Yeah! I’m just glad to see you’ve found someone that cares about you!” Swift said. “I mean from the times I’ve seen Blaze when he was little, he certainly was a sweet colt for you to play with. And now that I’m seeing him, he certainly became a kind and caring stallion! Heck, I even thought about asking your Mom and Sunset if we could maybe see if you two were interested in the idea. And now we don’t have to!”
“B-But…. I don’t….. If you’re….. I’m so confused!” Eve said. “Dad, you have the guards chase off all those suitors that would come to me! I presumed that you didn’t want me to date at all!”
“What? Don’t be silly, Evening. Of course I always wanted you to date since you’re pretty much at the age to want to!” Swift said. “It’s just that I know these nobles and suitor type of ponies. They always just want to marry you just so they could be part of the royal family and such. And some of the suitors were…. Certainly older than they should be for you. I just wanted you to be with somepony that wants to be with you for who you are! And now that I’m seeing it for myself, I’m completely okay with Blaze dating with you. Course I need to talk to him about something that a father myself needs to tell him but besides that, I really have no problem with this.”
Eve blinks. She rubbed her head as her mind sorted out what her father explained. “O-Oh…. Okay…. Yeah, that makes sense,” she said. “Wow…. Now that I think about it, I feel so dumb going through this much trouble to keep it a secret…. Sorry, Dad….”
Swift smiles and gave Eve a warm hug. “Heh, it’s alright, Evey. I probably should have explained why I kept those suitors out,” he said. “But you can always choose whatever you want to and I’ll support it. You’re my sweet little filly and I love you.”
“Thanks, Dad…. I love you too.” Eve hugged her father back lovingly.
Princess Twilight smiles happily and went up to the two joining in the hug. Sunlight and Nightlight went and joined in on the group hug as well. Swift slowly pulled away from the hug and looked over to Blaze. He walked up to him and puts a hand on his shoulder.
“Blaze, you can go out with my daughter with my blessing,” Swift said with a smile. But his expression slowly turned into a stern. “But no funny business with my daughter. She’s too young for-”
“Dad!” Eve cried.
“I’m just making sure!” Swift explained. “I still have to lay down the law on him!”
“Y-You don’t have to worry about that, Mr. Justice, I simply just want to be with Eve,” Blaze said. “I have no attention to ever do anything that she wouldn’t feel comfortable with.”
“That’s good to hear,” Swift said and smiled. “Now…. Let’s just enjoy the rest of the evening without anyone being nervous or keeping secrets, alright?”
Everyone came to an agreement about Swift statement.
Sunday let out a relieving sigh. “Boy, I’m glad I didn’t blow it!” she said. “I was afraid I was going to reveal the secret! Especially since I know that Star started going to school without a bra!”
Everyone looked at Sunday especially Star who blushed brightly as she gives her narrowed eyes.
“.... What?” Sunday asked. “I thought it was obvio- AAAH!”
Star tackles Sunday as she holds her in a headlock. “Stop telling people about my chest!” she shouted.
The last couple of days had passed and Eve and her family were at Canterlot High’s statue. Blaze stood by his moped as he waited for her to finish up her goodbyes. She went up to her father and gave him a tight hug.
“Thank you for coming, Dad! I hope to see you again soon!”
“Heh, I’m already going to miss you!” Swift said. “I love you and you keep up with your studies here!”
“I will! And I love you too, Dad!” Eve said. She gave her father a kiss on the cheek and went over to her brothers. “Did you two enjoy your time here?”
“Yeah we did!” Nightlight said. “I want to come back here real soon!”
“Me too! Sunday was super nice!” Sunlight said. “Are you sure she’s already dating?”
“Yes Sunlight, she’s dating the Altair of this world,” Eve said.
“Dang it…”
Eve chuckles and hug both of her brothers. She slowly pulled away before going up to her mother and giving her a warm. “I’m going to miss you, Mom,” she said. “It was good seeing you again.”
“It was good seeing you again, Evey,” Princess Twilight said. “I love you and I’m going to miss you when we go back home.”
“I know…. I love you too,” Eve said and tighten her arms around her mother.
Shortly the family started to go back home through the portal as the Twins went in first. Swift followed after them leaving Eve and Princess Twilight to themselves. Just as she was about to walk into the portal, Princess Twilight looks back at Eve for a moment. She pulls out a small box and opens it up to show a small pendant inside.
“Eve…. I want you to have this,” Princess Twilight said. “This is a pendant I made myself. It’ll help you be able to use your magic just like it you would do in our world.”
“W-Woah, really!? That’s amazing!” Eve takes the pendant and looks at it. It had silver chain all around with a little stone on it. She looks closer to see that it had a symbol of her cutie mark. “This is amazing! I didn’t think I could ever be able to use my magic here! But…. Why are you giving this to me?”
“Well…. Sometimes I get worried for you, Eve. There are a lot of things that could go wrong here. Even if there’s for some reason another magical disturbance in this world or…. People that might want to hurt you,” Princess Twilight explained.
Eve winced a bit remembering her time being kidnapped by one of the rival schools. And how Jazz almost got her with red paint only for Iris to be caught in it instead. She looks at the pendant for a moment as she thinks about all the possible threats or times she could have prevented them. She slowly puts it around her neck and nods at her mother. “Alright…. I’ll use it when I absolutely have to.”
Princess Twilight smiles and hugs her daughter tightly for one last hug. Eve hugs her mother back tightly just as much as hers. The two slowly moved their arms away from each other. Princess Twilight goes through the portal and departs back to her world.
Eve smiles a bit and looks down at her pendant. She takes a deep breath and walks back over to Blaze. He looks at her as he smiles and wraps his arms around her.
“Are you going to be alright?” Blaze asked.
“Yeah…. I’ll be alright.”
“Alright, just wanted to make sure,” Blaze said. “Huh? Did your mom give you that?” He points at the pendant.
“Oh yeah, it’s um…. A gift she got for me,” Eve said.
“Oh alright then. Ready to head back to your place?”
Eve nods.
The two climbed onto the moped with Blaze holding the handles and Eve holding onto him. He starts it up as the two drive off into the street. She looks at her pendant one more before nodding to herself.
“I’ll tell Blaze about this some other time.”
