“Hold still.”
“Princess, you’re embarrassing me! I’m a grown mare now!”
“You’ve just become a teenager, Sunset. Besides, as your adoptive mother, I have a right to be able to embarrass you in public. Now, let me wipe the dirt off your face.”
“Ugh, no, Mo— Princess!”
“Don’t ‘Princess’ me. It's my duty to ensure you have a clean face, even when I’m the one who got the dirt on you in the first place.”
“Why did you start a mud fight in the middle of our walk?”
“Because I love you and thought it would be a fun way to spend time together.”
“... It was.”
“Good. Now, let’s get you cleaned off. And next time when we have a play fight, don’t—”
“—Go through.”
“You can’t stop me.”
“Please, you're my daughter.”
“And yet, you won’t give me what I need.”
“It’s the one thing I can't do! Please. Why is my love not enough?!”
“Because I deserve more! I can’t keep being your embarrassing daughter anymore.”
“You were never—”
“I know what others say about me when they think I can’t hear them! I hate it! It’s an insult to you, to me, and I won’t take it anymore!”
“Please—”
“No. I’m not going to wait for your permission, Princess. I’m getting what I’m owed.”
