Dawn of the New Day

by QueenOfTheSilence


By Celestia's.....

Dinner was a meal of seasoned chicken legs, corn on the cob, macaroni salad, green peas and pumpkin pie. However in Sunset's case, dinner was extra corn on the cob and macaroni salad as she wasn't really into meat being originally an Equine. She didn't mind eating chicken or fish on the rare occasion but when it came to beef, venison or anything else that shared the same level of sentience as her back in Equestria, it was a no-no. Sure the common chicken was slightly more intelligent than their human world counterparts but as long as they weren't anywhere near humans or ponies, heck even Diamond Dogs, in development she was fine.

It was was eaten quietly with Luna shoveling food in her mouth while she multitasked, moving between drinking, eating, playing her Nintendo 3DS XL, and looking over teacher reviews. Scootaloo was surprisingly quiet, slowly eating her food as she stared into space. Celestia was awkwardly trying to make conversation yet it was only Sunset who really replied; the others obviously distracted.

"So how is the meal?" Luna mumbled something and Scootaloo just grunted. Sunset gave an awkward smile as she sipped from her glass of apple juice.

"It's good Celestia, I really like it, it's delicious thank-you."

"You're welcome but you did help me so you do deserve some credit." said Celestia, between a spoonful of macaroni salad.

"Well I only put the corn in the water and waited for it to cook. It wasn't hard....." Said Sunset trailing off, feeling awkward.

"Still, you were a great....Is something funny Scootaloo Solaris?" Said the woman changing her attention towards the younger girl who had started snorting and giggling. Scootaloo tried her best to feign innocence and smother her giggles.

"Nothing Mommy, I was just thinking about a joke Applebloom told me today." Celestia said nothing, her eyes just swept over her daughter for a moment. Luna and Sunset fell silent, one feeling out of place and awkward, the other wanting to watch the situation unfold.

"Well then, if you're going to lie. Perhaps you'd like to wash and dry all the dishes for the next two nights? Unless of course you want to tell me what's so funny?" Said Celestia, clasping her hands in front of her and leaning forward, with a brow raised. Scootaloo sputtered in response.

"I-I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth!"

"Scootaloo. I carried you in my stomach for nine months, I pushed you out of my vagina, feed you, cleaned your diaper and have raised you from a newborn baby to a thirteen year old girl. After all these years, I think I know when you're lying or not. Now, I know whatever your lying about has to be pretty significant if you're going to lie about it."

"Siste-"

"Don't sister me Luna, this doesn't involve you." Said Celestia, interrupting her younger sister who in response gritted her teeth yet shut her mouth and returned to watching.

"Scootaloo, you know how I feel about Honesty, so you have two options. A. Tell me the truth B. I add on to your grounding. Now which is it?" Celestia spoke calmly yet there was an undertone of threat and seriousness. Scootaloo squirmed in her seat before she gave in.

"Fine! You want to know what's so funny? You pretending that Sunset is even remotely good at something when we all know she's just a stupid waste of space!"

"Scootaloo Melody Harmony Solaris! Apologize at once!"

"No!" Scootaloo stood up from her chair and ran out of the dining room but not before she kicked the leg of her chair, causing it topple over on to it's back. Celestia stood up from her seat and gripped the edge of the table.

"Scootaloo, get back here!" But Scootaloo being as fast as she happened to be was nearly half way up to her bedroom. Celestia sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger. She mumbled something increshinable under her breath and shook her head in defeat before sitting back down at the table.

"Shall I?" Said Luna, glancing at her sister and feeling uneasy. Celestia merely waved her off and Luna taking that as indifference, left the dining room and headed upstairs to talk to Scootaloo. That left Sunset and Celestia alone once again. Awkwardly, Sunset got up from the table and began collecting plates and dishes.

"You don't have to do that, I'm sorry how Scootaloo treated you." Said Celestia, looking towards the girl and watching as she moved to take the dishes to the kitchen."

"It's okay....Celestia?" The woman cocked her head at the orange skinned girl.

"Yes Sunset?" Sunset paused for a moment, once again wondering if she should come clean but once again she pushed that thought aside.

"Don't feel angry at Scootaloo. I deserve it."

Once Sunset had finished cleaning up the dining room and putting the leftovers in the fridge, that house had long since gone quiet and most of the houses on Ponyville Road had turned off their lights. She glanced at the clock; the worn and out of place Hello Kitty clock read: 9:49 PM. 'Is it ten o'clock already? Well I suppose we did have dinner pretty late.' thought Sunset putting down her cleaning rag and taking in her work.

The dishes were in the dishwasher, the crock pot was washed and the table and counters were so shiny you could practically see your reflection. One thing Sunset always prided herself on was being clean; in fact she loved cleaning. Sometimes she would trash her room just so she could clean it all up. There was just something about organizing things and putting them in their place that made her happy. It was one of many abilities that helped her in being Celestia's Personal Student, once upon a time ago.

At the thought of her old teacher, the girl's mood deflated and she sighed. It seemed like only yesterday she had been living in Canterlot Castle, studying under her mentor and being a young filly. Those were good days, before the desire for power went to her head. Some days she just wanted to go back to those days even if she knew she couldn't.

A soft creak came from behind Sunset, bringing her back to reality. Someone was coming down the stairs from the sound of it. Normally this wouldn't attract her attention but she had assumed that everyone had gone to bed.

"Celestia?" Sunset put down the rag and exited the kitchen and headed to the stairs. Instead of Celestia, she found Scootaloo who seemed to be trying to walk down the stairs as quietly as possible. The girl was dressed in dark clothing; black jeans and grey sneakers was wearing a thick hooded sweater which was also black and had the hood done up. On her back was a backpack which seemed to be carrying items, seeing as it was quite fat.

"Going somewhere?" Asked Sunset, raising an eyebrow as she watched the girl attempt to avoid the creaky spots in the stairs. Scootaloo stopped in her tracks and swung her head around to look at Sunset. A large sneer appeared on her face almost instantaneously.

"What do you want?" Demanded Scootaloo. Sunset said nothing for a moment, merely weighing her options. She could wake up Celestia but she didn't even know what the girl was up to yet. She also needed to talk to her.

"Well for starters I'd like to talk..and I'm curious as to what you're up to."

" Talk? No! And it's none of your business Sunset Shitter." Sunset looked at her with a blank expression. Really? That's the insult she came up with?

"Really? You couldn't think of a better insult? You think I haven't heard of that one before?"

"Whatever, just get out of my face." Said Scootaloo, clenching her fists and trying to look threatening by puffing her chest and standing up tall. Sunset merely arched an eyebrow at the girl in response.

"Well I suppose then I should go upstairs and wake up Celestia. I'm sure she'd be also curious as to why you're wearing a backpack and dressed in all black."

"You wouldn't" hissed Scootaloo, gripping the arms of her backpack. Sunset smirked, as she watched the girl's eyes fill with fear.

"Maybe, maybe not. I might be persuaded not to. All will it will cost you is to sit and talk."

"Fine, what the fuck do you want? To insult me? Get it over with cunt." Sunset growled softly under her breath. An urge to slap the girl was growing in her gut. She clenched her fists and stopped herself from gritting her teeth.

"Today? I want to talk about today. What the hell were you thinking? Smoking? You're thirteen kid, do you want lung cancer by the time your forty?"

"It was just one cigarette, god I'm not going to get addicted. Besides, your not the boss of me and Rainbow Dash smokes them all the time and she's fine!"

"By Celestia's sagging tits....", mumbled Sunset under her breath.

"Wait, what did you just say about my mom's tits?!?" screamed Scootaloo, feeling insulted.

"What? No! Not your Celestia! The Celestia from my world; Princess Celestia! It's actually a very common...You know what? Never mind, the swear words and phrases of my world are unimportant. Just because Rainbow Dash smokes doesn't mean you should! If she jumped off a cliff or asked you to break into a building and steal stuff would you?"

"Well maybe I would! It's my life and I can do whatever the fuck I want!" screamed Scootaloo. By now, Celestia and Luna had both woken up from the yelling and both were curious and angry over the fact that the two were fighting.

"Girls? What are you doing? And why are you wearing a backpack at this time of night Scootaloo?" asked Celestia, coming down the stairs, her robe loosely tied around her and her hair disheveled.

"Sunset is talking about your tits and how they're saggy!" said Scootaloo, trying to deflect attention away from herself.

"I already said, I'm not talking about this Celestia! I'm talking about the Celestia from my world, "By Celestia's sagging tits", is a popular phrase where we come! It's been around for centuries. This world's Celestia's breasts are perfectly fine and perky!" If Celestia wasn't turning red in the face before, she was now. She tightened the strings of her robe and coughed.

"Why are we talking about Celestia's tits?" Everyone turned to look a Luna who had appeared behind Celestia, confused as to what the hell was going on. Her hair was just as messy as her sisters and she was dressed in a pair of white cotton shorts and a soft blue shirt that hung loosely off her frame.

"We're talking about how Sunset is a pervert!' stated Scootaloo.

"I'm not a pervert, it's a phrase!"

"You just said my mom's breats were perky! Pervert!"

"I was being nice! Do I look like I want to look at her breasts? Or have actually seen them? NO! Nor do I ever fucking want to!"

"I have to add to the matter. I've seen them before and I can assure you my sister's breasts are quite perky." stated Luna who joined into the conversation.

"Though I admit they're starting to sag." Celestia at this point had her teeth clenched and her head was throbbing, with a headache beginning to appear.

"THAT. IS. ENOUGH." Like young pups being barked at by their mother, the other three members of the house hold stopped in their tracks and if any of them were to actually have tails, they would have been tucked between their thighs out of fear. Celestia could destroy armies with single glances when enraged.

"I don't care how this started, but no more talk about my breasts. From any of you! I don't care if it is some phrase from a different world, if anyone else mentions them I will take them over my knee and spank them and yes that goes for you sister!"

"I'm an adult! Not your child!" stated Luna, crossing her arms and scowling.

"Don't care, I'm older and I practically raised you when I was younger. I've done it before and I'll do it again. Now. EVERYONE GET THE FUCK TO BED." Even an idiot knew it would be stupid to to infuriate the woman anymore. Scootaloo and Sunset pretty much ran to their rooms while Luna slowly slinked away to the basement, attempting to avoid her sisters gaze. Once everyone was gone, Celestia sighed and ran her hands over her face and pinched the bridge over nose.

"Fuck my life.....My breasts aren't really saggy, are they?"
