“And I don’t want to see you stealing your sister’s abacus again,” you say to Celestia as she nods slowly. You then pick her up along with Luna, who had been hugging her abacus. She drops it when you grab her and she’s not too happy about that. The two royal fillies squirm in your arms, the same way they did when you had them take a bath. You a confused at why they would put up a fight to eat food, probably because they don’t like vegetables. No, it’s probably because they don’t like being together even for such a short period of time.
After what seemed like an eternity, you finally make it to the dining room. You place the frustrated alicorns in their high chairs and put a bib around Luna’s neck, which gets a giggle out of her sister. You then place food onto their tray tables. You start off with two big plates of alfalfa sprouts. Luna sniffs the green leaves and pulls her head away, appalled. After seeing that, Celestia immediately stuffs some into her mouth.
“Well,” you say, “at least you’re going to cooperate.”
You feel a little more calm now that you know that at least one filly will have a calm lunch
“Bleah! Alfalfa monsta!”
The sound of Celestia’s voice makes you snap back to the cold, hard reality. Celestia is holding her hooves above her head and letting small bits of green alfalfa leaves hang from her open mouth.
“Ew, no!” Luna cries as she jumps out of her highchair, soon followed by Celestia.
The white filly begins to chase after her sister, who is laughing the entire time. You can’t help but smile and the crude, but effective form of sisterly “love”. The fun ends when the two royal sisters trip and bump into Luna’s high-chair. It falls over and the plate of Alfala flies through the air. Of all the places it could possibly land, it lands on the head of Celestia and small leaves fall all over her pink mane. She spends a couple seconds in a state of shock, and then she begins to cry loudly. Luna laughs, which makes her cry even louder.
You cautiously approach Celestia and then you kneel down and pat her on the back.
“It’s okay,” you say, “I’ll get it out of your hair.”
The she starts to calm down. You lift the plate off of the filly’s royal mane and are about to remove the alfalfa leaves when her horn lights up. In a quick flash, the leaves fly in all directions, some of them hitting you and Luna. When you look to see what happened, you see Celestia sitting on the floor laughing. Her mane has turned from pink, into a long, flowing, rainbow, aurora like mane.
“How did you do that?” You ask
Celestia shrugs and with another flash, her hair returns to normal. You’re glad she didn’t do that when you were giving her a bath, since that would have been pretty difficult.
You lift Clestia and Luna back into their highchairs and decide that you’ll take care of the alfalfa mess later.
“Now, you two stay right there,” you tell them as you walk into the kitchen.
You grab some cooked carrots from the refrigerator, which you were originally going to use in case another filly was to spew alfalfa in your face the way Twilight did. You walk back to the dining room and place the carrots on Luna’s tray-table.
Celestia, who is old enough to feed herself, does so. So you turn to luna, and place some carrots on the spoon you’re holding.
“Open wide,” you say, “here comes the pegasus.”
Luna opens her mouth wide and you give her the carrots. She happily chews them. After a couple more bites, Luna picks up one of the slices. You think that this means she wants to feed herself, but you’re once again mistaken. Luna throws the Carrot and it hits Celestia’s left cheek. Celestia stops eating. She looks over and gives her sister the evil-eye. She transforms her mane again, to protect herself from further problems, and throws a piece of alfalfa. This causes Luna to throw another carrot, which causes Celestia to throw more alfalfa. This goes on for a couple of seconds until you put a stop to it.
“Looks like some fillies might not be getting any dessert.”
You take the two vegetable plates away from the fillies tray-tables and say, “That was quite uncalled for. Luna, we don’t throw things at are sisters, and Celestia, we don’t throw things back either.”
The two of them nod their heads in shame. You’re glad you finally got them to listen to reason.
You then place a bowl of oatmeal on each of their trays. You brace yourself for the potential food-fight. Luckily for you, they values their desserts. You are able to feed Luna without fuss in about 3 minutes.
“Now then, you two can have dessert.”
The two ponies smile, excited for whatever treat awaits them. You give Celestia a piece of cake, with some banana slices on top. She eats it whilst minding her manners. When you give Luna a Moon Pie on the other hand, she quickly stuffs it in her mouth. When she finishes eating it, she has chocolate, crumbs and icing all over her face.
“Oh, Luna,” you say, “you look so cute right now.”
That causes her to giggle.
Celestia finishes her cake, so you wipe down hers and her sister’s face with a napkin. You then hand them both orange-juice filled sippy-cups. They drink those in about two minutes. You then lift them out of their chairs and they run off. You look towards them as they run to the all.
“It’s a hard job,” you think, “but the smiles from the fillies are worth it,”
You then turn around to see the mess of alfalfa and carrots that you’re going to have to clean up.
“I hope...”
