“Are we done yet?” Scootaloo asked with a yawn. She and Pumpkin had been working diligently on their homework for the past three hours. Pumpkin looked over both of their papers, and turned to Scootaloo with a gentle smile.
“Looks like it, Scootaloo. You did a great job,” Pumpkin said, causing Scootaloo to smile hautilly.
“Well, I have been studying a lot lately. It’s no wonder my grades constantly skyrocket!” Scootaloo bragged, though if she were being honest with herself, her grades were a bit static.
“Scootaloo! Pumpkin! Time for dinner!” they heard Rarity call from downstairs.
“All right! I’m starving!” Scootaloo said excitedly as she stood up from the floor and quickly rushed out the door with Pumpkin slowly following. As soon as they reached the kitchen they took a seat next to each other, Pumpkin making sure to sit as close as possible. “So, what are we having?”
“Well, Rainbow Dash is having lettuce with a side of green peas, and a glass of pomegranate juice-”
“Again?!” Rainbow bellowed as she slammed her hooves onto the table. “Come on, Rares! When am I getting real food?!”
Rarity glanced at Rainbow Dash with a hint of annoyance, before poking her wife’s belly with her hoof. “I’d say at least another eighty pounds.”
Rainbow Dash simply glared at Rarity, before slowly picking at her food in annoyance.
“Now, as for us…” Rarity trailed off as she levitated several plates over to everypony else. “Our main dish will be mango tofu tacos, black bean and rice enchilladas, and if you two are still hungry after that, I have some delicious sweet potato burritos!” Rarity said with a smile, earning a groan from Rainbow Dash.
“Is this some kind of sick joke?” Rainbow asked with teary eyes. Rarity snickered at her wife, before levitating Rainbow’s food away and replacing it with a plate loaded with all three dishes.
“Yes. Yes it is,” she said with a kiss to the cheek, causing Rainbow Dash to smile.
“Aw, Rarity, you minx you!” Rainbow said as she kissed Rarity back, before digging into her meal.
All the while Scootaloo watched in disgust. Her left eye twitched as she watched Rainbow Dash scarf down her food. It wasn’t long before she could no longer take it and grabbed Pumpkin by the hoof. “L-let’s go back to my room and eat, okay?”
“S-sure,” Pumpkin said, unable to tear her eyes away from something that could only be seen in a horror movie. As a child she heard many amazing things about Rainbow Dash. Eating mango tofu tacos in ways that resembled unsimulated sex in movies was not one of them.
“Wait! I haven’t told you the good news yet!” Rarity called out. Scootaloo sighed as she turned to Rarity.
“Can it wait? For just an hour?” Scootaloo asked, earning a groan from Rarity.
“Oh fine, be that way!” Rarity said as she shooed away the two of them. “And no funny business! I don’t want to accidentally walk in on the two of you doing…things,” Rarity shivered in disgust, earning an odd look from Scootaloo.
“What do you think we’re going to do?” Scootaloo asked with a puzzled look. Rarity shifted her eyes, unwilling to look Scootaloo.
“W-well, it’s just…” Rarity trailed off before sighing. She went up to Scootaloo and laid a hoof upon her shoulder. “Scootaloo, I know you’re experiencing wonderful and beautiful feelings. I know you want your relationship with Pumpkin to move as fast as possible-”
“Wait, what?! Scootaloo screeched as she backed away from Rarity. “I’m not in a relationship with Pumpkin!” Scootaloo said, causing Rarity to gasp in horror.
“Scootaloo! How dare you say that in front of Pumpkin!” Rarity scolded as she went to cover Pumpkin’s ears.
“Miss Rarity, Scootaloo’s right. As much as I would like we’re-”
“I know you’re just trying to protect her, Scootaloo. But you don’t have to!” Rarity said with a smile as she held up a contract with her magic. “For I, Lady Rarity, have already paid the dowry!”
As those words left Rarity’s mouth, both Scootaloo and Pumpkin were left in silence. The only sound that could be heard was that of Rainbow Dash stealing food from Rarity’s plate. After a few minutes, Scootaloo finally recovered.
“You did what?!” Scootaloo screamed, a chilling realization that her life as she knew it was officially over.
Meanwhile, the Cake family was also having a heated argument.
“How could you have sold our only daughter?!” Cup Cake yelled as she wrangled her husbands neck.
“W-walrus…” Carrot Cake gasped out, pointing at said majestic beast. The walrus itself gave Cup Cake it’s most dazzling look, slowly brushing it’s mustache. Cup Cake sighed as she let her husband go.
“Carrot...you practically sold our daughter for a walrus. A walrus!” Cup Cake screamed as she pointed at the blasted thing. Carrot Cake sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“I thought it was a fair deal,” he mumbled, causing Cup Cake to slam her hoof into her face. Carrot Cake went up to his wife and gave her a comforting hug. “If it helps, I named him after our daughter.”
At that Cup Cake tore her hooves away from her face, giving Carrot Cake a horrendous glare. “You named a big, fat walrus after our beloved daughter?”
“Yup!” Carrot Cake said proudly.
“...” Cup Cake said nothing as she picked up the closest rolling pin she could find and slammed it against his head.
On the bright side, Carrot Cake didn’t have to sleep on the couch for a week. The hospital beds were much comfier.
