Diamond Tiara
I stared down at the waffles in front of me as Sunset levitated a cup of coffee to me.
“Uh thanks but I still don’t have good control of these hooves with picking stuff up,” I said sheepishly as Sunset rubbed her chin.
“I’ll help you then,” Sunset shrugged as she levitated it to my lips. “Tap the table when you’re good.”
I gave a nod and opened my mouth as I felt a warm sweet liquid enter my mouth and I tapped the table after a few seconds.
“Thanks,” I wiped my mouth with a napkin as Sunset set the cup down.
“Don’t worry, I still can’t really control my wings yet,” Cloudkicker commented as she examined a fork and lifted it up with a hoof.
“You kept smacking me in the face with it in the night,” Trixie answered as she shot a look at Cloudkicker and I snickered. “You’re lucky I don’t know how to control these hooves otherwise I’d tie your wings to your sides.”
“Jokes on you, I like being tied up,” Cloudkicker commented as she bit into a waffle and I stared in confusion. Why anyone would like being tied up in general, I wouldn’t know.
“Why would you like being tied up?” I asked curiously as Cloudkicker opened her mouth.
“You’ll know when you’re older,” Sunset chimed in and shot Cloudkicker an unreadable look from my spot.
An exhausted looked Luna trotted into the room and levitated a pineapple to her mouth. We all froze and stared in surprise as she ate the thing whole and sat down.
“Did you just eat a whole pineapple?” Cloudkicker asked as her jaw dropped.
“Without taking off the prickly bits?” Trixie continued as Sunset and I just stared.
“She does that,” Celestia said and glared at Luna for a second. “And doesn’t eat the breakfast I make for her but oh well. I’m hoping since we have family over she might indulge me for a day.”
We all looked at each other nervously as Luna shrugged.
“This got kinda awkward,” I whispered and Trixie nodded slowly.
“I agree,” Trixie whispered back. “So I was wondering, do you all have tvs here? I was hoping to keep up with the latest COPS episodes.”
“What’s a TV?” Luna asked as she paused from pouring syrup on her waffle. “And what is this cop episode you speak of?”
“A TV is like a theater but at your house is the best way to describe it,” Sunset explained as she twirled her fork around with her magic. “And cops enforce the law where they live. It’s recorded and put on TV for people to watch.”
“COPS is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law,” I recited as Cloudkicker, Trixie and Sunset gave me stunned looks.
“How did you get your voice that deep?” Sunset asked as Trixie grinned.
“That was cool!”
“I don’t know,” I admitted with a shrug. “Practice I suppose.”
“Practice for what?” Cloudkicker asked as I shrugged again.
“I don’t know, I get bored sometimes and try weird stuff. Mainly to mess with the occasional telemarketer.”
“Oh those can be annoying.”
“Got that right,” Sunset muttered. “They call me everyday, it’s ridiculous. I block the number and they call back on a different phone. Think they would get the message by now.”
“One would hope,” Trixie grumbled as she stared at Sunset’s horn. “Can I learn magic?”
“Yeah, I’ll teach you some spells later tonight. I don’t know any like show magic but I can do some pretty cool stuff.”
“Anything else I can do for you Princess Celestia?” A yellow unicorn with a light blue hair trotted in and gave us a curious look. “Sunset Shimmer? Been a while since I’ve seen you.”
“Lemon Hearts,” Sunset nodded respectfully as I tilted my head to the side. “How are you?”
“Good you?”
“Decent.”
“I don’t need anything else Lemon Hearts, thank you. I won’t order you but I’d appreciate if you don’t tell my daughters other exes are here. Or well, at least have Minuette and Twinkleshine come see me first,” Celestia said as Trixie placed a hoof on Sunset’s shoulder.
“I understand Princess,” Lemon Hearts bowed her head slightly. “I hope you all enjoy your breakfast I helped make. If you ever need anything else while you are here, come see me for anything.”
“She’s my head of staff,” Celestia explained as Sunset gave her a confused look as Lemon Hearts levitated the used plates and other items away. “I know about your ah adventures with her. You can trust her that she won’t tell the others without them seeing me first.”
“Okay good,” Sunset sighed. “I’m fine with the others actually just not Lyra. And presumably Bon Bon if they are dating here.”
“They are,” Luna confirmed as she yawned. “I see their dreams very often. They dream about very unique stuff. Mainly Lyra and random things. Bon Bon is more about candy.”
“That’s nice,” Trixie rolled her eyes as I elbowed her. “Doesn’t make them any less of jerks.”
“Yes it is.”
“They didn’t really make my life miserable, I just don’t want to associate with anyone who thought I was to blame right now at least,” Sunset said as I hugged her side and she smirked slightly. “Thanks DT.”
“Why don’t you and I go explore the town for a bit?” Trixie suggested as she looked at me.
“Up to Mom,” I said and looked at Sunset who nodded approvingly. “Okay let’s go.”
“We should go see your friends,” Cloudkicker smirked at Sunset as she grimaced. “Minus Lyra. No point in holding things in the past.”
“Ugh fine,” Sunset rolled her eyes as Celestia placed a bag in front of us.
“What is this?” Trixie asked as I examined the bag curiously.
“Money in case you find anything interesting. And here,” Celestia said as Trixie glowed gold for a brief moment. “You can levitate stuff now and know how priced work here now. Sunset will help you learn more later.”
If only the words to describe how happy Trixie looked existed.
She grabbed me by a hoof and before I know, we were in the hall.
“Have fun, stay safe and don’t get lost. Oh and not too many sweets!” Sunset called out.
“Come Diamond Tiara we have exploring to do!” Trixie exclaimed as she held up a hoof. “To adventure!”
With a sigh, I followed the blue pony out of the castle.
