//------------------------------// // Meeting Purple's extended family // Story: A mare named Target // by PurpleArtist //------------------------------// In the kitchen she and Purple were cooking where she's taking a few personal days off of work and lied that her and Purple's son Artmark is sick well he's actully suffering from Poison Joke after walking through a field of blue flowers in the Everfree Forest even though told not to walk in the forest without adult supervision even if it's a complete stranger he should have not been in the forest without being watched. He told them that he always see ponies go in there all the time where she told him that there adults that mostly go into the forest and there more careful but she's going to go and talk to Zecora while Purple get's everything ready. In the Everfree Forest it was a good 15 minute walk from the enternce to Zecora's place or 30 minutes from there house to Zecora's house but problem is that Zecora was gone so she left a note on the door for Zecora to read when she get's back. Back home she seen everything all set where at 9:30 AM there was a knock on the door where she seen Purple open the door where he seen his 28 year old aunt Sonata a charcoal colored mare with brown hair and blue eyes and a cutie mark of golf ball where she and Purple kissed each other on there cheeks and greeted each other as if they didn't see each other for a long time. Her 7 year old bratty son was with her where he told his mom that he doesn't want to be here where Ponyville doesn't even have any arcades where she told him that it's a family reunion not Gamescon and made him say hi to his nephew or uncle Purple or he won't get any bits to play video games any more. He showed her there room for the following 3 days but she placed something that's wrapped in aluminum foil where she placed it onto the dining room table and followed Purple to there room. She asked on where her cousins are at where Target told her that Artmark is sick and sadly won't be joining us, Harp and Double Eagle they'll be joining us only for dinner where Purple told them to get out and don't bother them unless if it's an emergency. Harp is Purple's mother name or Sonata's older sister name and Double Eagle is close enough to Albatross another term for Double Eagle in Golf a red unicorn and the name is to honor Purple's father or Sonata's brother in law. In the kitchen the 3 sat at the table playing cards where she asked the 2 on what they do where she heard Purple say that he's a delivery pony at the Arts and Supply store in Ponyville and Target told her she works at the Canterlot War Department as a desk jockey and every now and then field operative but planning on using Purple when this is over to have another foal so far they have 2 colts and 1 filly. She seen Sonata use her levitation magic and pick up a dinner roll and gave it to her son where the young dim gray unicorn 5 year old knocked it out of his mother's hoof where she placed it onto her hoof and stop levitating it. They heard her tell them that she and her son will be back in a few minutes where out of a side window Target seen Sonata break a tree branch out of a tree in there yard where from the deck they heard the 5 year old unicorn say to his mother or what did he do wrong. The 2 just minded there own business where she asked Purple on what his Aunt is doing where he told her calmly that she's whipping her son with a switch and a switch is a fancy term for stick not small as a twig nor big where it's in between and it hurts like hell well very painful. After a few more minutes there was another knock so Target took a sip of coffee and answered the front door where it's Purple's uncle's Fisher, Chef, Ace, Wolf, and his aunts Baracuda, and Pointy Spear were there but to be a pain in the ass she asked if there married to each other to find out that only way there aunts and uncles of Purple where his uncle's are his deceased father's brothers and his aunts are his deceased mother's sister's with Sonata being younger due to she was 7 when Purple was born. She looked at Pointy Spear with confusion where her mother and father there in there mid 60's but they were 25 when Harp aka Purple's mother was born and 51 when Sonata was born via IVF something that Target didn't want to know. They played cards in the kitchen where the kids were shunted off outside to play if they like it or not where if Artmark can handle it then they can but there nephew he's actually sick where after playing a round of blackjack Target told her to start the next game without her where she got up from the table and went upstairs. She checked on Artmark where he was fine where the grayish violet colt was laying in his bed covered with blue spots where he asked if he could come downstairs for a cup of water where he was told no where if it's contagious well there's family downstairs and don't want them to get sick as well. He told her that he hopes it ain't contagious but he would like a cup of water so she left his room and went downstairs and gotten her son a cup of water where they asked on how her and Purple's son is doing where they were told he has Poison joke but the only pony who know's the cure she's not home and got to wait until she's back. They just chatted and so where all but Uncle Wolf there all but him are super friendly to Target where Uncle Wolf was more or less sexist to Target telling her instead of playing cards she should get her cute flank up and start making dinner. He looked behind Sonata where Purple had a angry face where he's about to jump over Sonata and attack Wolf as he just made that mark to Target where he got out of the rolling chair instead and made dinner instead where his uncle told him that it's a mare job to cook, clean, make the husband happy and have foals where Purple told him that a mare has the same rights as a stallion where if a mare wants to settle down and have foals then that's her, if a mare wants to be a housewife then that's her and Target isn't a housewife she's a hard worker and she may bring more money in then Purple he loves her evenly and chose to have foals. He made dinner early but they just played the cards game.without Purple where the purple alicorn made dinner for his extended family. It was 4 PM when they ate dinner where the kids didn't eat with the grown ups but sat in the living room either on the hardwood floor or the couch and ate. The spare beds they had weren't comfortable where Purple told them that they can get a motel or take what they got so far and sleep on the camp beds but they took on what they have. In bed Target she head Purple say that he doesn't know on how much of a pain in the flank a majority of his family is but Target told him that Sonata she's sweet and friendly where he told her that she's the only one. The night was mostly peaceful until they heard a shatter where the 2 gotten up where downstairs they seen Sonata and her son arguing where she's getting mad at her son for being totally disrespectful and rude around family and purporsley breaking Purple's and Target's vase they have worked so hard to earn. She was tired of hearing him with lame excuses and bratty additude but she then notice the 2 sitting there watching so she walked up to them casually where she apologized for them hearing there little argument and getting them out of bed where they didn't like it but apologized for her yelling. They were cool with it where all 3 off them looked at her son who broke the vase where Purple told them that he's going to kill him where it's not a vase there going to replace easily where it's his adoptive mother's vase but the 2 used a restraining spell to hold Purple back before he kills his cousin. He stayed there as he, Target and Sonata went upstairs where in there bedroom he gave her his leather belt and told her not to go easy where he'll buy another where she told him it's his good belt. He told her that he'll get a new one where his cousin deserves a beating a hard one where he doesn't have a lot of memorbilla of his adoptive parents and he got 3 remaining a picture on his nightstand, in his heart and mind on how he loved them as his real parents but his real parents died when he was only 3 days old. Downstairs she did hit him with the belt to punish him where she levitated the belt with her chestnut colored magical aroura and spanked him with her nephew belt where after a good long 1/2 a hour she placed it onto the counter and forced her son to bed but left a note for Purple or Target to read later in the morning. In the morning he 2 notice the vase was glued back together but found Purple's belt and a note where the 2 read the note of Sonata apologizing on that she used his belt to punish her son and wore the belt out but she'll get him a new one when she's back in Manehattan where she didn't go easy on her son. The 2 kissed where Purple still had to work where she did her job to keep his family fed and happy but had to deal with sexist remarks from her uncle in law uncle Wolf who he actually smacked her on her round flank where she though about ramming her unicorn horn through his eyes but didn't where she'll deal with him another time. Outside the mares threw a football around just doing whatever they want of them not caring but enjoying life while the Stallions besides Purple they just messed around where Purple he wants to be here but can't due to he has work and his boss is an perfectionist and has a stick up his flank of everything has to be straight where if one thing is slightly crooket then the entire store has to be reorganized for all of it need to be straighten out. The mares chatted sitting on the grass getting to know each other better like how they discussed each other's careers like Barracuda she's a diver, Sonata she's a golf manager and friendly and Pointy Spear she makes spears for the Royal Guards but besides that she lives in a somewhat secluded life style but Sonata she isn't the type to talk about her life anymore in Manehattan. They didn't pressure the mare because on what she's going to hide is what she wants to keep to herself she might open up to Purple but she isn't going to open up to them where what happened in Manehattan is her life and wants to leave in the past and what happened resulted in her bratty son. They didn't push her where they just continued with there game where they just left it behind where there here to have fun and relax and not to get into each other's business where whatever there business is isn't everypony else's business. When Purple got home for lunch he asked his aunt Sonata on what's wrong where she didn't budge so Purple did the calm approach and slowly worked it way up. She told him due to she has trust in him where he doesn't find nothing serious as funny where she told him her boss he's a pegasus where he held her down, placed a magical suppression ring on her horn and raped her where that's how she gotten her brat son a son she never wanted. Target was called over where Purple told her she's in charge until he get's back where she asked on where he's going where he's going to give Sonata's boss a piece of his mind where Target told him not to where last time he gave a pony a piece of his mind some poor pony was sent to the hospital for 2 months where he had a fracture skull, no teeth, broken jaw, 2 black eyes a majority of the stallion ribs were broken, punctured long and busted nose to count a few. He took a train to Manehattan where at the golf course he asked for Sonata's boss where his secratary told Purple that he's busy where Purple took that as a invintation to walk in and told Sonata's boss there going to have a little chat where he used his magic to close the door and lock it. Still outside the mares talked to each other where they don't know on what Purple is doing or going to do . During day 3 after 2 days today was fun where the 3rd day is the last where they did the same of them talking and getting to know each better where she seen Sonata talk to Purple where she kissed him on the head and thanked him for what he did and had a nice chat with her boss where he just said "Yeah... A nice chat." he said somewhat nervously to her and not telling her on what he really did. After day 3 all of them left where the 2 waved them by but after they left Zecora came by with a cure for Poison Joke and gave it to there son where he was better after drinking it.
