As soon as they got into the kitchen Twilight and Celestia saw that already Velvet had all the ingredients set up. Twilight was used to this because ever since she became Celestia student the moment she got home, her mother would start getting the kitchen get everything set it up when she would unpack her things that she brought home from the Castle. And as soon as she was done unpacking her mother would always insist on start baking right away with her. But it doesn’t mean that this tradition started as soon as Twilight became Celestia student far from it. They used to do it all that around the holidays, but it used to be whenever they felt like it. But now her mother used the tradition as a means of checking up on her and seeing how she was doing. During the middle of mixing more baking or such her mother would start asking her questions about school and stuff such and howls Celestia was treating her during her stay at the Castle. But as time progressed and she reached her teenage years Velvet started asking Twilight about her love life, which every year she would tell her mother that she doesn’t have a boyfriend and wasn't even been looking for one. Which always got her mother in one of her moods of teasing and trying to see if she was hiding the fact that she was dating when she never was, and then eventually her teasing which go into topics of her friend’s son’s which as always, she would say no on the idea of going out with any of them. But this was a first time for Celestia she was wondering if there was a spell that Velvet knew that she didn’t know about that involves getting the right cooking materials and if so if she could maybe learned. Just then Velvet turned around and smiled and levitated a stool that she had in youth. Since Twilight was a filly and placed it by the cooking materials she ready had laid out. “Celestia why don’t you take this stool it will help you out with the whole height problem with the counter. Twilight do you mind getting our the aprons and also the one that you used to use back when you were filly?”
The two nodded their heads and Celestia headed for the stool when Twilight headed over to where the family aprons are normally left and then headed into the kitchen closet where they had decided the place Twilight's old filly apron just in case Shining or Twilight ever got kids of their own or if her parents somehow give her another little sibling and it turns out to be a filly sure there will often was an apron that would work for Celestia on the apron rack. But that was Spike’s, and even though he doesn’t normally help with the mother daughter baking time. He didn’t like it when people use his apron because he likes apron nice and cleaner and ready for him when he feels like baking which oddly enough, he pretty much goes on a cooking spree when Twilight and him comes to visit. She remembered that Celestia gave her three days off around last nightmare night and she decide to come home for that time period and brought Spike with her. Not only was there so much candy in the house from Spike trick-or-treating. But Spike made 25 batches of different type’s cookies, 16 different cakes one of them being a cake that was a 10 layer cake with each layer different flavor, 50 different flavors of pies, 15 batches of brownies and 35 different batches of cupcakes. And Twilight’s parents were so sick of sweet that they made both Shining and her split the leftover desserts and candy and bring it back with them to the Castle. Shining end up doing was do a guard dessert party in the barracks, just to get rid of it HE was sick and tired of all the sweets. While Twilight let Spike keep the candy but secretly sneak all the sweets to Celestia bed room which the guards letter realizing it was the same sweets that were made for the sweets party that Shining w held in the barracks, so when Twilight asked the guards promised to tell Celestia, that the sweet were form the kitchen staff felt like making all of those sweets for her so then Celestia one doesn't bug Spike for more sweet because Twilight knew how much of a sweet tooth Celestia has it was just as bad if not worse than spikes sometimes she wondered if those two when often the kitchen in the middle night at times to speak out for some sweets when she wasn’t looking. But anyways Twilight putting her apron on and then walked over to her mom and Celestia and gave them there’s which they said there, thanks to her as soon as Celestia and Velvet placed on their aprons Velvet cleared her throat to begin that family baking session. “All right, let’s get cooking.”
During the time they were making the sugar cookie dough Velvet gave Celestia instructions and help her out with the cookie dough like she did with Twilight when she was little with Twilight helping out as well, which surprisingly even though Celestia haveing a bad track record with cooking. Celestia was doing quite well normally by now something bad would happen. But instead everything was going smoothly. They were now at the point where they needed a pan out the cookie so than they can use the cookie cutters to cut shapes the cookies. At this point Velvet thought it was a good idea to start asking her daughter how things have been since they last saw each other. “So other than Celestia’s magic going into you and her turning into a filly have you been since I last saw you around nightmare night?”
Twilight knew this was coming, it would of normally happen sooner. But both of them were a little bit busy trying to make sure that Celestia didn’t do anything that would cause a kitchen disaster. So Twilight just shrugged her shoulders as the question. “I’ve been doing just fine. So has Spike. Celestia tough me some very interesting spells I’ve read some interesting theories and spells and incantations that article very interesting nothing all that different than the last time I saw you other than the whole the midterm incident from those two twin brothers.”
Velvet nodded her head while adding more of the ready cut cookies of hearts warming tree, hearts worming heart, reindeer, earth pony, Pegasus, unicorn, and Alicorn cut cookies on the cookie sheet and put them in the oven. “I see so have you found yours special some pony yet?”
At hearing this, Celestia perked up and look towards her student curious to see what she would say. Because Celestia hasn’t ever met any friends of Twilight's and she was curious about her most faithful student social life. At the same time Twilight groaned knowing this was coming but was kind of hoping that her mother wouldn't bring this up when Celestia with them. She looked at her mom with a deadpan look getting ready for the same embarrassing conversation, she always has was her mother when she brings up. “No mother. I do not have a very special some pony. I don’t really even have any friends except for Shining, Cadance, Spike, and Celestia, so why would I even have a special some pony if I don’t feel comfortable making any more friends to begin with.”
At hearing this Celestia was shocked and a bit of worried she felt like it was a sense of déjà vu with Sunset shimmer and she didn’t want that to happen with Twilight, but felt of little bit of joy with the fact that her student considered her a dear friend. “Twilight why don’t you have any friends. Besides the four of us don’t you want to make friends of your own?”
“I just don’t have time for it with all my studies and such. And when I do get open time. I like to spend time with my family.”
“Oh come on Twilight you should make some time to make some friends just because they are not as good as magic as you are doesn’t mean. You’re better than them or anything.”
At hearing this. This made Twilight angry and for once in her life she yelled at Celestia. “I DON’T THINK I’M SUPERIOR THEN ANY PONY. I JUST DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THEM IS ALL.”
Once Twilight realized what she just did she excused herself of to go to the bathroom quick and left. While Celestia was still in shock after what just occurred. She turned to Velvet looking at her with confusion and bewilderment of what was going on. Which Velvet just shook her head. “It’s a touchy subject let me start with a question for you. Did you know your nephew Prince Blueblood was it in the same magic kindergarten class as Twilight before she took that enters exam to become your student?”
Celestia was shocked at hearing this. She never knew this about the two of them ever knowing each other she thought they never had met before. So she shook her head no. Which caused Velvet to let out breath. “Well, they were and Twilight was the top of her class. Got perfect scores and everything but your nephew was not all that happy about minor nobility getting higher grades then him, especially since his father found out about it by the teacher. Which made his father very upset with him, and pretty much got ground a lot of times because he didn’t have better grades than Twilight. In fact, all of Twilight's classmates were all high nobility while she was the only minor nobility still do not know how that happened. There was another class which was filled with minor nobility’s I don’t get but anyways Blueblood started leading all of there classmates to gang up on her and bully her. And the teacher would not do anything about it since the teacher thought that the majority of the class outranked Twilight because she was a minor instead of a high nobility. They would do everything to her from stealing her lunch, knocking away her books taking her personal collection of advance magic’s books, stealing her toys and never giving them back. Thank goodness Twilight never brought her smarty-pants doll to school she would have been just devastated if that was ever taken at the time. And any time they invited her to any functions. It was a trap to humiliate her in front of others they even made her do something called the diaper dance. Every so often Blueblood would’ve invite her over to his place and tell her to stop being Mr. know it all and purposely fail on homework and tests and such, but she would refuse to do so because the summer before she started magic kindergarten she saw you raising the sun. And she wanted to do magic. As well as wanted to have the best way she could get a very good chance at getting into your school. It got so bad that Shining asked his teachers if it was all right for him to be a little late to class in the morning just to make certain that his sister was the alright before class started, and was allowed to leave early, from school to directly take her home. So then she would have a least a little bit less bullying going on around her. We also asked the teacher to when passing out grades to put all the grades in envelopes and make sure that there was no breaking up who had highest score not in the envelope so than the other ponies wouldn't know whether or not she did well or not. Which help lower down the point to some extent. Since they did not know if she finally broke and stop working so hard in her academics or kept going. At least not until the end of the school year when they announce in front of the whole classroom with the parents with them on the ranking of students in the classroom for the year. Let’s just say we had a whole lot of angry looks toward us for the whole time. Once that was announced thank goodness. None those student’s parents were mine or my husband’s bosses they would probably maybe fire us as well if any of them were. So we applied for your school. Since Twilight was at the youngest age you can apply for it, and with her how great her written exam was, she was allowed to take that entrance exam that caused her to get Spike and becoming your student. It isn’t that she doesn't want to make friends. It’s just she’s scared of going through what she went through in magic kindergarten is all. Have you ever wondered why Twilight always freaks out thinking saying that you might get so mad at her that deal of you sending her back to magic kindergarten?”
Celestia was frozen solid mouth agape and showed an expression she had not shown at all since her sister was banished to the moon. Velvet was about to ask if she was okay, but then heard the timer dings and went to switch the freshly baked cookies with another batch of cookies that needed to go in next. As Velvet was doing this Celestia was thinking of about Twilight making up a mental list of Twilight’s bad treats that she knew of her students overthinking, her wariness, any time her student thought she did a really bad mistake she would start jumping to random conclusions that the worst-case scenario, anything of all being her paranoia side and her isolating ourselves so much. It all started making sense now, and this both upset and made Celestia fierce. (How dear my nephew and his fellow magic kindergarten class mates do that to sweet innocent Twilight. All because she was doing better than them, and that she was a minor nobility. The noble didn't care whether or not you were a high or minor noble when it came to marriage as long as they are nobles. So, why in the why, wide world of Equestria would it matter if Twilight was a minor nobility or high nobility with her grades. As soon as I am back to normal. I am going to demand all of Twilight’s and Blueblood’s magic kindergarten classmate list to do everything in my power to make those ponies regret it. Twilight is like a daughter to me that I never had and I am protective of her and to find out she had a trauma experience in magic kindergarten is not a good thing for those bullies. I don’t even care of one of them is my nephew. But I can already start away with Blueblood. As soon as we get back to the Castle after hearts warming I'll start throwing pranks on him like no tomorrow and as soon as I’m back to normal. I’ll let the guards in on it as well and cover for them. Starting with Shining armor recruiting him for it. I’d bet he would love to get back at Blueblood for what he did?) Celestia nodded her head at her decision proud of her plan and began continuing her cutting up the cookie dough as well as promising Velvet not to let Twilight know that she was told about this and hoping Twilight would come down soon as well as hope being she was also okay.
