Once the three got into the dining room both Celestia and Spike hopped off of Twilight’s back and the three started heading to their seats on the table. As soon as they did both Shining and Cadence came into the dining room as well. The two of them headed to their seats as well. Soon after their dinner came out and the five began to eat. During this time twilight was trying to figure out the best way to ask both Cadence and Shining about the best course of action with Celestia during the holidays. Finally, she thought of the best way and cleared her throat. “Um Shining, Cadence there are some things Spike brought up that I thought we should address.”
At hearing this, everyone stopped eating and looked at Twilight, finally, Cadence spoke next. “Sure, Twilight what is it?”
Twilight took a deep breath and let it out. “Well, you know tomorrow Shining and I are going home for the holiday right?”
Both Cadence and Shining nodded their heads in confirm-meant of this so Twilight continued while at that time Shining decided was a good time to drink some water. “Well, since the Council made it an order that I watch over Celestia until she’s back to normal that would mean she would have to come home with us. And I do not know how mom and dad are going to react, whether they are going to be just as calm as Celestia is, and understand why I brought her home. Or are they going to jump the gun like Spike did and think that Celestia is yours and Shining’s daughter that you have been keeping hidden for the past seven years?”
At this Shining did a huge spit tank that reach Spike on the other side and coughing was what little water was still trapped in his throat that he was choking on. While Cadence was blushing so hard that her pink coat almost turned Rose red. Once they both were able to get words registered out of their mouth. They both said in unison, “WHAT!!!” As loud as they could
At this Celestia couldn’t hold herself and started chuckling at the reactions the two were giving. She couldn't help herself at this moment that is until the two gave her a hard stare. Before they start glaring at Spike with an angry tone Shining finally brought up his thoughts on the matter. “Now why would Spike even think that?”
Twilight looked at them both and thought it would be a good idea just to tell him what Spike told her. “Well from what Spike told me Celestia’s eyes and hair matches Cadence while her coat matches yours and the fact that she than Alicorn and also the fact that you guys have been dating since I became Celestia's student and didn’t tell me!”
At hearing what Twilight just said about them dating each other made them very uneasy. They were trying to figure out the best way to tell her but never thought of the best way to do it and now it looks like they had no choice but to talk about it. “Twilight, we tried to figure out the best way to tell you but either something came up for us, something came up for you, or we didn’t think about it at the time. we're sorry if this really upset you, sis.” Shining said while giving his best apologetic look, he could give to her.
Twilight looked at the two and she could tell that they were planning on telling her, but probably didn’t figure out the best time to do so. And truth be told, she always wanted those two to get together so she was going to let it go for now. “It’s fine. Besides, I always wanted you two to get together because I thought of Cadence as a big sister.”
Everyone gave a relieved look at hearing this and Shining let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear, I don’t know what I would’ve done if you were all mad and went against it."
Cadence then let out a little chuckle, nodding her head to Shining's statement. “Agreed. After all, Twilight was the whole reason why we got together. If she were against it. I don't know what I would do either.”
Twilight smiled at this, but then she gave a serious look to everybody. “That still doesn’t answer the question about how we're going to handle the matter. I’m more concerned about that than you’re love life.”
Shining just chuckled at what Twilight just said, and gave her a reassuring smile. “Just get Celestia prepared for coming over to our parent's place for the holidays and just worry about taking care of her and Spike. I’ll explain everything to our parents about what is going on and hopefully, they won’t jump to any conclusions right on the dot.”
Everyone agreed with the plan and continue eating their supper and soon after they were all done eating and went their separate ways. Shining and Cadence doing last-minute royal duties before the holiday break and heading off to pack up Celestia's things for the holiday break. But before they got far from the dining room. Twilight thought it was a good idea to grab the stuff that Spike in her already packed and bring it to Celestia’s room so then all their luggage are all together and they would only need to make one trip, to bring the luggage out. Both Spike and Celestia thought that was a good idea so they first stopped by Twilight’s and Spike’s room to get their belongings and headed off to Celestia’s room.
Once they finally got to Celestia’s bed chambers. Celestia went to her bed and pulled a large suitcase out of it and then turn to Twilight and Spike. “Okay, so what would you recommend that I should bring?”
Twilight thought about it for a moment before answering Celestia’s question. “Well, you can bring any books that you have been reading or any books you like to read. You can bring anything you really like if you like to play music or listen to music. You could bring some musical stuff or art supplies. Anything you want to bring for fun will do just fine. Along with bathroom essentials like a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and other stuff. Any type of clothing you like wearing pajamas and such, but you should bring some from of warm clothes like hats scarves a winter coat that kind of stuff to keep you warm.”
At hearing this Celestia froze though only piece of clothing she own were her Royal Regalia that she had on right now. Or the dresses she wore on very rare occasions, but they’re too big for her now. Any close that maybe would fit her right now, was left behind at the Castle of the two sisters, and more than likely are damaged beyond repair now. She didn’t even own any winter wear because of her being linked to the sun always kept her warm. But now that Twilight has most of her magic and it seems that she might be connected to the sun for the time being that could be a problem Celestia chuckled nervously and looked at Twilight and Spike. “Funny thing, I don’t own any winter clothes normally my link to the sun. Would help me stay warm, but I do remember back when I was a filly I did where winter clothes during the winter because my connection wasn’t all that strong back then.”
After hearing this, Twilight thought about it for moment. She doesn’t recall any time and Celestia wore anything else other than her regalia, so it mad sense, and also come to think about it she doesn't have any would probably be too big for her at the moment. Twilight looked down at Celestia and gave her a reassuring smile. “That’s okay, I have a few extra scarves in one of my bags will just have to get you a hat or earmuffs a coat and some winter boots before we get to my parents place. Because one of the family traditions is doing a big snowball fight, making snow ponies, snow forts and a lot of other stuff out in the snow. And we don't want you to catch a cold. If you decide to partake in it now do we.”
At hearing this Celestia just smiled and the three packed up everything that Celestia thought she would need during her stay at Twilight’s parents place. As soon as they were done Twilight help Celestia get it ready for bed and tucked her. Just before Spike and Twilight left the room Princess Celestia had other ideas. Even though she was used to her own room and knew there was nothing scary in her room for some strange reason she did not feel comfortable being all by yourself and didn’t want to be left alone. “It’s very late and we will need as much energy as we can get for everything we have planned for tomorrow. Would you two mind spending the night with me?”
Spike gave the puzzle what look wondering if the Princess was all right. When Twilight started to think that either this is a side effect of the spell or Celestia was very scared. From everything that went on today and probably wanted comfort. After all she will is a pony like everyone else. So Twilight gave Celestia a warm reassuring smile and nodded. “Sure Celestia, Spike and I don’t mind right Spike?”
Celestia smiled at this, as the two climbed onto her bed Twilight was in the middle Spike was to the left when she was on to the right and Spike with a ready out like a log. Which made the two chuckled at seeing this for a little bit. Twilight looked at Celestia and could tell that Celestia was a little nervous, so she assumed that more than likely the spell was making her bit scared for some reason. So Twilight wrapped her front hooves, around Celestia to try to help calm her down a bit. As soon as Twilight did this Celestia froze and looked up towards Twilight to see a reassuring smile. Which for some strange reason made her feel safe and secure. The two said good night and fell asleep. Not knowing what the next day will bring.
