Nothing really much to say here except I am SO sorry for how late this has been. I am now back to making chapters and all that good stuff. Again... so sorry for the long hiatus.




Chapter 44: An explanation is in order



After removing my hand from my forehead... I noticed my mother looking at me through the doorway.

She did not look happy.

"I can explain....." I said holding my hands up defensively.

She crossed her arms and looked at me more intently. We both sat there for a bit before she broke the silence.

"Well it's about time you got a girlfriend!" She said out loud causing laughter from the closet.

I shook my head. "Are you kiddi- ....you know what.... NEVERMIND!" I said walking to the closet.

I keeled down and spoke to the ponies in the closet.

"Shy... Scoots. Come on out. It's alright." I said.

I waited a few moments before I saw the door inch open a bit and I could see a huge eye through the small space. Before I could speak the door burst open and Fluttershy was around my neck holding me tightly.

"It's good to see you to Shy..." I said patting her back while smiling.

I got up with her STILL attatched to my neck.

"Uh... Shy?" I said.

She looked at me then the ground. She blushed a bit then let go. She flew softly beside me.

I looked forward towards my mother. She was smiling widely.

I knew what that smile meant....

I looked down and saw Scoots looking up at me. I knelt down and pat her on the head.

"Nice to see you too Scoots!" I said smiling.

She ALSO hugged me. "I missed you daddy!" She said in a saddish tone.

'I've only been gone like... what? 40 minutes?' I thought.

I shrugged and looked up to my mother. I saw her looking at me with a look of curiosity.

"How about you two and..... 'daddy' come to the living room for a talk...." She said turning away.

'Oh fuck my life....'

I looked down to a confused Scoots and a even more confused Fluttershy. I looked at Fluttershy for a moment and spoke two words.

"My mother...." I said.

"Oh.... oh.... OH! ......Oh my...." She muttered while blushing.

I stroked her mane. "Don't worry.... shouldn't be to bad." I said leading them out of the room.

We made it to the living room and looked around. Everything had been picked up that was knocked over from their arrival. My dad even managed to dislodge himself from the tipped chair. Then proceed to sit back down in it again. We slowly made our way to the couch where I noticed my mother sitting. All of us but Scoots anyway. She was way ahead if us... zooming around the room looking at everything she can. We made it to the couch and sat down. Fluttershy decided to sit left of me. My mother was on the right. We sat there for a bit in silence before I heard a sound.

*Beep*

I looked down at my watch. 'Damn.... 15 more minutes.'

I looked up to my mother. "So...." I started.

She raised her hand to stop me. She looked past me to Fluttershy. "I believe we haven't been properly introduced.... my name is Crystal... Chris's mother." She said sticking out her hand.

"F-F-Fluttershy...." She said while shaking my mothers hand.

My mother smiled and pulled her hand away and motioned to my Father. "That's Chris's father Kelly." She said.

My dad waved to Fluttershy as she did so back. Fluttershy motioned to the pony rocketing around the room. "That's Scootaloo. Sorry... she's a bit.... hyper....." Fluttershy said smiling.

"I can see that...." My mom said smiling.

My mother then looked at me.

'Oh no... here comes.... THE TALK'

There was a very short pause. My mother then looked at me and said something that I was not in any way prepared for.

"You used protection right?"

I swear to God about two things that happened within a second after that.

1) I think there may be a permanent hand print on my face from the epic facepalmage

2) I swear I could hear the Demonic laughter of a chaos god having the fucking time of his life




I'm REEEEAAAAAALLY sorry this chapter is so short! But I had a stupid corrupt data problem and lost my 40 something chapters of various stories with it. I promise all of you tomorrow and days following you will get full length chapters! My internet just crapped out on me for a while today and I needed something to tide you guys over until tomorrow! I hope it's okay!
