Dennis woke up and sure enough, the fillies were still sleeping on top of him. He chuckled and tried to get up, but they wouldn't let him. He sighed and just lied there smiling at the three princesses lying on top of him. Celestia was the first one to awake. She let out a cute little yawn and looked at Dennis and smiled. Dennis smiled back and Celestia hopped to his side and walked up to his head. She lovingly nudged his head and Dennis' heart melted. He picked her up and held her in a tight hug. Celestia wrapped her fore hooves around his neck and returned the hug with a bright smile on her face. She pulled away and looked at Luna and Cadence who were still sleeping. She walked up to them and nudged them awake. They woke up and looked at him and smiled.
He smiled back at them and said, "Good morning little ones." He sat up and they sat down in front of him on the couch.
"Good morning!" They said in unison and giggled. Dennis' eyebrows raised in surprise. They're voices sounded young, well, they were just fillies, but Dennis thought that the would have their normal adult voices.
"Wow. You actually talk. I thought you were to young." He said stretching causing his back to crackle loudly.
"We're old enough to talk. We just don't look it." Celestia said. "Then why didn't you talk last night?" Dennis asked.
"We were just nervous." Luna replied. Dennis chuckled. "Well, if I were on your world and extremely young I think I'd feel the same way." Dennis said smiling. The fillies giggled. "Why did you save us last night?" Cadence asked.
"Well, it was cold, and you were fillies, so I couldn't have just left you there to freeze to death." Dennis replied. "Thank you sir." Cadence said walking up to Dennis and giving him a tight hug. "The name's Dennis. And your welcome." He said returning the hug. "So. Who wants breakfast?" He asked getting up from the couch.
The fillies hopped down from the couch and followed Dennis into the kitchen. Dennis pulled out a pan and some pancake mix and a couple of measuring cups. He poured some water in the small measuring cup and some pancake mix into the bigger one. He pulled out a spool and mixed the pancake mix and turned the stove on. Once he was done mixing he put some mix onto the pan and waited with a spatula in his hand.
"So. How did you fillies get here?" Dennis asked looking at them. "We don't remember." Celestia answered. "Hmmmm..." Dennis hummed trying to piece together how they got here, on Earth... Maybe one of Twilight's spells malfunctioned and she accidentally sent them to Equestria. Nah that can't be, because why is it just the Princesses? He thought. "Oh well." He said flipping the pancake. After a few minutes he finished making the pancakes and put it in front of the fillies. The giggled because he had cut them out in the shape of their Cutie Marks.
"Syrup?" He asked holding a syrup bottle in his hand. They nodded and Dennis poured a bit of syrup on their pancakes. They all took a bite out of their pancakes followed by a, "Mmmm."
He smiled and got his own plain, circular pancake. "Good?" He asked. Cadence looked at him with a smile on her face. "This is DELICIOUS!" She said continuing to eat. "Thank you Dennis." Celestia said smiling at him. Dennis smiled and proceeded to eat his pancake.
"So where are your parents?" Dennis asked them. They told him about their parents and where they were and what happened. "Where are your parents?" Cadence asked. Dennis' face instantly became somber and he got up from the table and walked into his room and shut the door. After a few hours he heard them knock.
"Dennis? Are you okay? We can talk about it if you want." Luna said through the door.
"Please, just leave me alone for a bit..." He replied choking up.
"What happened with your parents?" Celestia asked.
"They're DEAD!" Dennis shouted at the door. There was nothing but silence and Dennis became worried. "G-girls?" He asked. He walked over to the door and opened it and saw that they were no longer there. "Girls?" He asked walking into the living room. He saw them sitting on the couch, they looked sad.
Dennis walked up to them. "Hey, hey girls if it's because I yelled at you I'm sorry. I just needed some time." He said kneeling down next to them.
Celestia looked at him and said, "That's not whats wrong." Dennis put hand on her shoulder.
"Hey. Whats wrong?" He said in a fatherly way. "We're sorry, we shouldn't have asked you about your parents. She replied.
Dennis sighed. "Don't be, I'm the one who brought it up. Now come here." He said pulled them all in for a hug. They all hugged him and smiled. "By the way, did you finish your pancakes?" Dennis asked. "No." They replied in unison. "Well go on and eat." He said standing up.
They ran to the table but Celestia turned around and flew up to his face and wrapped her fore hooves around his neck and hugged him. "I love you." She said hugging him tighter. "I love you too..." He said slowly returning the hug. He set her back down on the ground and she ran to the table to finish her pancakes.
Dennis felt a weird feeling in his chest. A feeling of love, kindness and it soared throughout his body in a matter of seconds. He smiled, chuckled and then walked back to the dining room to finish his pancakes. What did she mean when she said it? We'll find out soon I guess. Dennis thought walking back to the dining room.
