A week has passed since Twilight had decided to accept her position of a crowned princess of equestria and had decided that she would create a kingdom to call her own, Twilight had been given the task of creating the night sky along with her mother who she now can call with more ease, not only was she getting better at using her alicorn magic she started to attend the night court and was educated in how to govern a country by both Luna and Celestia, her friends had to go back to ponyville but Spike had stayed behind. The young drake himself albeit sad to leave ponyville wanted to stay with his 'mom' and now often refers to her with it too by Twilights asking ofcourse, quite a scene it made when a new face would here it for the first time.
A morning through Twilights eyes
Mumbles could be heard under pearl silk blankets as the light from the window glared, the sound of light steps could be heard behind two large white doors, "morning already *urrgh*," the room was a light shade of purple, same as lunas room the roof had stars, books were in their cases all around the room and at the far end was the two big wooden doors with Twilights Star emblem on it, a small creak came from the door, "please don't, really its too early"
"C'mon mom you asked me to do this, you said no matter what 'you' say get me I mean you out of bed, didn't you?" The dragon closed the door and came over to the bed in eyesight of the alicorn, with her new emotional build Twilight was more maternal than normal at every chance she had she would hug the child, "woah!" spike levitated in a purple hue next to Twilight.
"Five more minutes, just five and then we can go meet grandma K, pwease?"
"C'mon mom you know you won't just have five, so get up we have to go see about you're guards soon dont we and soon you're adoptive parents and brother are coming with Cadence from the crystal empire arn't they," trying to push himself from a crushing hug but failing Spike just relax's and enjoys the love he's being given.
"*aaaww* thats today isn't it," twilight lifted her head off of her pillow, her mane had stayed in the position it layed though when she did so, "but maybe I should shower first as being a god means my mane wants to defy gravity and we can't be having that now can we?" looking down to Spike who was clasping his mouth trying to hold the laughter in she started to tickle him on his stumoche.
"HAHAHAHA! M..MOM....S....TT.T....OP..HAHAHAHA! *HAAA* *haa* *ha*, that was unfair and you know it," a cheeky grin came across Spikes face and he hopped off the bed, "and yeah I think that a shower would help because *kmph* thats just too funny!" giggles had got the better Spike as he went to sit on a chair next to an oval stood mirror.
"Well then I guess I'l go take one but first I have to brush the knots out," Twilight got off the bed and moved behind spike to face the mirror, a brush in purple hue levitated and started to comb through the long hair, "I never really asked Spike but what do you think of the new stripe?"
Spike stood up on the chair and grabbed a bit of the mane, "I think it looks really........ nice"
"Spike?"
Spike looked up at Twilight before looking back down at the hair inbtween his claws, "Its just that the stripe you had before was the same as my scales before and it felt somewhat like it was a relation between us is all but I'm not saying the new stripe is bad, really its beautiful but still"
"Oh spike no matter what our bond will never fade, not anymore ok?"
"okay, mom"
"now hop off to the dining hall so we can start breakfast I'l be there in ten minutes after a shower okay"
Fifteen minutes later at the palace dining area
"Sorry I'm late I think the shower in my tower is a bit faulty, haha that rymed," a cheerful Twilight came walking through the double doors after the guard announced her entrance, Twilight had donned a set of silver regalia with trinzanite gems embedded into them, she was told it was proper etiquette to wear them though she did not like it she didn't want to dissapoint her new Aunt.
"Twilight my dear your very chipper today, something good happen?" Celestia was already sat at the table with her attendant mrs quill just behind her with scrolls that she seems to have been reading.
"nothing much just nice to be happy rather than sad is all plus Spike came to wake me up so I wouldn't be late but it seems that I was by a couple of minutes, hehe"
"now Twilight I wont tell you off for being late but just know if this was a meeting for the court in your new kingdom you would have been scrutanized by your public so just take into account it is just me this time but I know you usually have never been late, only when you choose to be or when an accident happens," Celestia motioned Quill to sit down, "but still are you ready to talk to your parents today?"
"well both my parents knew about me when you gave me to them so, I really don't know but they feel a bit distant to me now," Twilight began to stroke her arm and look toward spike, "still velvet might not be my biological mother but I hope she wont just treat me different now I know the truth, she wouldn't would she?"
"Twilight no person could live with a child and not have maternal love for them, just know I may have asked them to look after you but she truely loves you as a mother would there own foal, so she may not be your mother biologically no but she is your mother nontheless so you now have two mothers," taking a sip from the cup that she had, "it is just like Spike and you, he was not birthed by you was he?"
"No but.."
"Then I ask Twilight Sparkle what do you feel for the child?"
"I love him as any mother could but what does?..... ah I see, velvet had me the same way, how can I question the mother that raised me," pulling the young drake onto her lap she wound around him in a hug, "even if I'm not his biological mother I am still spikes mom and I am thankful to his parents for having him, if it weren't for them I would have never of had him," Spike clamped onto his mother knowing she needed comfort, " thankyou Spike"
Putting her cup back down, with a smile Celestia put a smile back on her face, "you know Twilight, since I started to train you I know one thing, give you an essay to write you would give me a sheet what would ace the unicorn accademy but give you problems such as these you are quite hardheaded but thats what makes you, 'you' so just know even I hold you like a mother but I guess I'l settle for being an amazing Aunt instead," a small giggle escaped Celestias lips as Luna walked in and sat down.
"What was that dearest sister?"
"nothing Lulu, just a conversation between me and Twilight, I will need to hold daycourt today will you and Twilight be joining me or are you going to prepare for the Sparkles arrival later today?"
"Yes I think that preparation should come first in this instance, if my little stars parents are coming I must make everything the best it can be and I must meet this 'Shining armor', he will be a wonderful addition to the family as a new son"
"I am sorry to inform you Lulu but our niece Cadence might have already beat you to the punch"
"I was not thirsty and Cadence was on her way with the rest of the Sparkles wasn't she?"
The room burst out in laughter as the navy blue alicorn became a bright pink, "what was it something I said you all know I'm still getting use to the modern way of speaking," with a huff she looked between her daughter and sister completely oblivious of the meaning Celestia made.
"Oh you are too cute sometimes Lulu, what I meant was that our niece has married Shining already, so I am afraid making the boy a prince now is too late as he already is one," the grin on Celestias face grew as she knew she had gotten her sister with her joke, HAHAHA oh my me that was hilarious, Lulu I love this too much, "But he is part of the family now and you can meet Cadence for the first time too she has been an alicorn for nearly three hundred years now"
"How she is not yours, unless she had ascended by herself, but that hasn't happened since our late mother"
"her magic is definately powerful enough but it was the nature that made her ascend to Alicorn status as she can give love through magic, it is truely a sight to behold, she even runs the crystal empire that our mother created"
"She has our mothers power, Why haven't I met her yet Its nearly been a year?
"well she herself was busy with running the crystal empire so they don't have much time and you yourself was or should I say still getting use to *Kumphh* society *kumph* *hahahahahaaa*," Celestia couldn't hold her pokerface, Mrs quill also had her hoof held up to her mouth too as her sense of humour was much like Celestias, "I'm sorry but its still funny, I'm sorry *kkcht*, really, *haa*, sorry but seriously you couldn't have been ready for more since you were adjusting back into moving the moon and catching up the the modern world"
An eyelid was half closed with the eyebrow above it raised, "okay!, I accept that I may have been much worse then with my speech and needed lessons to catch up with society but that doesn't mean I need you to laugh like a bufoon at my problem now does it?"
"I am so sorry Little Sis but it was funny"
"Fine, so Twilight, Spike shall we set off after breakfast is done, we have lots to prepare for don't you think, what do you say to having our get together at you're ballroom under you're tower"
Still holding Spike as he munched at the plate of blue crystals infront of them, "I think that would be good but people will have to climb all those stairs.."
"Don't fret my little star I will set up a teliportation spell that makes anypony that pass' its line go straight through the doors to your tower ballroom, alright?"
"Okay then but what do we have to prepare for?"
"why your, mine and spikes outfits and such, what else" with a small giggle she started at her own food, "I hope our little Spike likes suits because I think he will look absolutely adorable in one, *eeee* *blush* *cough* Sorry a tad bit too excited"
Twilight giggled at her mother shaking her hooves infront of her like the CMC would when they had an idea for a cutie mark, "okay mom after we have breakfast were all yours for the rest of the day," with her magic Twilight began her food joining the rest in the regular morning rutine.
Waiting in the ballroom for the Sparkles
"*awwww* my feet hurt, mom why did we have to walk around in grandmas closet for all them hours and seriously how did she have that selection of 'dragonswear'" Spike was sat with a black coat and red bow tie that was clasped to a frilly white shirt, "seriosly my feet are killing, mom?"
Twilight paced back and forward as the clock grew ever nearer the deadline for the guests to arrive, she was wearing a slick black dress with a rouge bow just above her tail, as she pace she mumbled, "what if they act differently, what if I'm not bbbff's lsbff anymore what if.. what if"
"MOM!!" catching twilight attension Spike had to shout, the shout wasn't all that loud but it echoed through the dome shaped room, "really stop worrying you know nothing will have changed, apart from you being taller than then they will love you all the same right?" Spike never like seing his mom in emotional stress and always would give anything to give support, "plus you have me here, I promise I wont leave you alone even for a second, not even for the ruby encrusted dohnuts"
"Haha not even for the ruby encrusted dohnuts eh? you must be serious," pulling the drake into a hug, "thanks Spike, I know that nothing will have changed but I still can't stop worrying"
The sound of the teliportation spell was heard from the entrance of the ballroom, "Are you ready my little star, they will be hear soon, they have arrived"
"yes mother, but what if mom and dad and brot....."
"do not fret I said, nothing will have changed plus it just means we have a bigger family and I am excited to meet my new brother and sister velvet and nightlight also my new niece and nephew, Cadence and Shinning," clearing her throat, "now no more of this gloomy atmos my dear Twilight, Its time for a family get together"
Once again the portal sounds off
"LITTLE SIS!" a smartly dressed colt walked up to Twilight with another alicorn not too far behind him, "wait, let me take that back hehe it should be big sis now, right Twilight," having to crane hishead up the colt carried on, "what no hug for your big brother?"
Twilight burst into tears at his words and clasped her arms around him, "I..II.I.," "I really thought you would treat me differently but...b..b....but I'm sorry for thinking that Shining"
"Aw Twily you know nothing would have ever changed"
The pink alicorn walked up to the pair and joined their embrace, "you know we will always love you little sister erm cousin erm sis........ whatever you were my sister first and I really don't care I just love you Twilight"
"Thanks Cadence, I love you both too," moving away from the embrace Twilight spots another pair of ponies, one mare with a white coat and white and light purple hair with three stars on her flank and a colt with light blue fur and a dark blue mane with two moons as his cutie mark.
"Erm........hi mom, dad"
The pair walked over as the mare started to cry, " *sniff* Twilight you look beautiful in that dress, you have grown so much," wiping her tears they both embrace Twilight.
Again the emotional alicorn starts her waterworks, I'm really glad I opted out of maredust over my eyes or I might have been more of a mess than what I look now, "t...t...thankyou"
A voice that was deep replied, "What for Twilight, for hugging and loving our sweet child?"
"no dad for being there for me for all these years, for raising me, for being my parents and giving me a family and for my brother, for everything"
"Twilight hunny, we both love you beyond the stars and back you know that, me and your father do and always will," a hoof raised to their daughter who now towers over them, "I may not be your biological mother but I still will love you like any other mother would love their foal so remember that my little angel"
"okay," the embrace lasted a few minutes as the family had its reunion, "well who would be my new sister and brother and who would be my niece and nephew as I cannot wait any longer"
"Its very nice to meet you you're Highne.."
"were family here no one has a title, I presume your miss Sparkle?"
"yes your maj... Luna and this is Nightlight my husband and over there is our shiny and cady"
In a quick movement what suprised everypony Luna leant over and hugged Twilights parents and then over to her brother and Cadence and did the same, "I've been waiting to do that all afternoon, I finally feel relieved, now Velvet"
It took a second for the mare to respond after being suddenly hugged by Luna who didn't look the type to have physical interactions, "y..y yes your majes.....Luna"
"we must thank you dearly for what you have done for us, in my absence you have raised our little Twilight into a wonderful pony," Twilight began to blush, "and I must ask that you never treat her any different she is as much your child as she is mine, I do not plan to monopolize our daughter, instead I insist that we get to know each other instead as sisters so please do come more often to the castle as both I and Twilight will surely enjoy the compony, ofcourse Nightlight your welcome too but I don't think talking of dress' and such is your thing so"
"Actually Luna, I myself am in the dress making business as a critique for the trott way so I don't think I would mind"
"Plus I may seem to know of dress' but its all nightlight who picks it out for me so I probably wouldn't be much of a conversation maker about dress'"
"Well now, still I think that it would be lovely for you to come to see Twilight and have dinner with us as a 'family'" Luna walked over next to the two and ushered them off in their own conversation with Celestia joining them.
"So then sis whats it like being royalty and being an alicorn"
"weird, but I'm getting use to it," Twilights eyes were averting to the floor were Spike was, "plus its a big change but I think its one we needed right son?"
Both their faces looked to question what she meant until their eyes fell on spike, Shinings face gained a grin, "So then Spike, you finally said it huh, nephew," Shining put a hoof on the dragons head and rubbed it in a playful manner while smiling at him.
Spike blushed and nodded at him, "I said it by accident but....but I don't regret doin it"
Speaking these words got a "AWW" from both Twilight and Cadence that would usually be weird if it weren't for them knowing where it comes from now.
"well I now know where your gestures come from cadence, I always thought you were just eccentric with showing emotion now I know its because of being an alicorn, I can't seem to control myself anymore, when I see Spike I just want to hug him now," lowering her heading to nuzzle the little drake, "Hehe I guess its one of the good things about my change"
Cadence hopped over to the side of Twilight, "I'm affraid thats just your instincts their, I don't really have them since I ascended so I'm just like this naturally, if you have the love spread it"
"Ha, same old cady, hows the new empire?"
"Its good, nothing happened since sombra and the citizens have become more happy, I can feel their love grow day by day," with the last bit of her sentance Candence and Shining locked eyes for the inevitable being the couple with the love god.
"Spike, don't look, you two should really get a room for that!" Twilight had her eyes averted and red flushed across her face.
"C'mon Twily I'm sure you have someone that you like at the moment right plus you're old enough for it now not to mention a godess at that, sure Spike might be a bit young but he understands right nephew," a small laugh of pride comes from Shining at the word nephew.
"Ew no, thats all icky," spike had stuck his tongue out as it rasped off his lips.
"hahahaha, well maybe you'll understand when your older sport"
Twilight looked over to her parents and her well parents and looked back, "well I best go see what they're upto or they might spill some embaressing beans all over the place and I should probably talk to mom some more since I haven't seen them for so long, It's nearly been a year now"
Twilight started to walk over to the group, before getting close the windows in the room began to shake, several of the windows broke as ponies rushed into the room, "Everypony down now, we want the newly crowned princess," Before anything else happened a person in Black armor had rushed up to Twilight with his horn aglow with magic ready to make his assault, "Miss Sparkle my mistress would like to have your time this evening", smoke began to build up in the room where the other black guards stood.
"MOM!! HELP!!"
In unison the pair of mothers bellow, "TWILIGHT"
