The next morning, I awoke to Star snuggling me. It took me a few minutes to realize what the warm thing was, but when I did... I turned into a tomato. I decided I would get up and prepare breakfast, seeing as she'd done it the few times before. I made my way to the kitchen, to find mom's pony there cooking eggs and bacon plants. I was about to say: "You're up early," But then I realized it was almost 10:00. It didn't surprise me that Star hadn't woken up yet, she was nocturnal after all. It would often take one of us going into her room (sometimes more than once) to wake her up.
"Good morning." I yawned, walked over and sitting down at the table. Mom's avatar turned to look at me.
"Oh! I didn't know it was on." She said.
"Yeah, it has a tendency to do that." I chuckled. I sniffed the air. "Those eggs smell good! You making them cheesy spinach style?" I asked.
"Yeah," She said, turning to me. "How did you know?"
"Well ponies have a better smell than humans, so it was easy for me to-"
"No, how did you know that I was baking at all? Can the pony pad detect smell too?" Mom asked.
"No, It's just... have you noticed what your pony's been doing?" I asked. She shook her head.
"I can't say that I have."
"Ok then..." I started to explain. "Sometimes, when you're not playing the game but the pad is on, your pony will mimic your moments and actions. Simple things, like get ready for the day, or making breakfast." Mom nodded at me.
"I see... so is my pony cooking eggs and bacon too?" She asked. I nodded.
"Well... eggs and bacon flowers... but yeah. Same difference."
"Bacon flowers?" Mom laughed.
"Well... yeah! Ponies are herbivores in the show, and apparently humans value eating meat. Hince forth: there are bacon flowers. As well as beef bark trees, and other things of that nature." Mom started laughing.
"That's the craziest thing I've ever heard!" She laughed.
"It makes logical sense, if you think about it." Then Star stomped down the stairs.
"I smell bacon!" She shouted.
"Good mornin' hun." Mom said to her.
'Hun... she's my... oh...' My mind sputtered a few things. Star walked in, and I realized that she was now... my mate, or "special somepony," which ever you prefer.
"G- good morning Star." I squeaked. She looked at me, to tired to notice my red face. My Celestia, I blush a lot.
"Hey Night." She said, she smiled at me. She wasn't embarrassed, well then again her mom is back on their moon glow farm, so I guess that's why I am. "So, what're we gonna do today?" Star asked. I shook my head (and away my embarrassment) and thought for a moment.
"The pegasi do have a nice sunny day planned, so I was thinking we go to the lake and go swimming." I said.
"Sounds like fun." Star replied, sitting down next to me. She wrapped a wing around me. "I just wish our house wasn't so cold in the morning."
"M- me too." I stammered. She giggeled.
"What's wrong? If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." Star said, in the most "attractive" way possible. Mom's pony looked over from her cooking at us. She did not look happy. I just starred down at the table, hoping this would all end soon.
"How close are you two?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at us. Star decided to take the opportunity to mess with me.
"Very close." She said, grinning evilly and wrapping me tighter.
"Last night... we kinda-" I began.
"Kinda what?" Mom asked, serious. "Did you-" Star saw another opportunity, and seized it.
"Oh yes, and it was amazing." She said, looking at me. At this point, I was a snow ball. Mom gasped.
"Night Light-" I could tell my old name had been censored. "... I raised you better than to have had s-"
"WO WO WO! That's not what happened at all!" I exclaimed, when I finally found my voice. Star put on a mischievous smile.
"What didn't happen?" Star asked, innocently. "All he did was groom my mane a little last night." Mom starred at us blankly.
"So... you didn't have s-"
"NO!" I exclaimed.
"Well anyways, I'm going to wake your father, breakfast is ready." Mom mumbled, her pony vanishing, and the crystal (that we left on the table) turned on. I decided to help myself to the eggs. Trotting over to the stove, I levitated some of the eggs onto a plate and trotted back over to the table. In Equestria, Ponies (save for formal events) didn't bother with utensils, instead we just shoved our face into the plate, took a bite, brought our heads up, chewed, swallowed, repeat! I guess that's just to satisfy my values, or that's how it worked in the show.
... Wasn't there a scene where AJ was eating and hard forks at the table? No, that was with her aunt and uncle, but that was a formal event. There was a scene where twilight was eating a hay burger and she did what we do... so I'd guess that's right.
I ate the eggs (a little too quickly...) and Star did the same. Mom and Dad walked into view of the Pony Pad. Dad looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep (which made me feel a little guilty).
"Good mornin'!" Star said, cheerfully. I looked at her.
"What's up with you?" I asked. She shrugged. Then grinned again. Oh sweet Celestia, WHAT DID I DO TO INVOKE HER WRATH?!?!
"I don't know... I guess I'm just happy I got a special somepony." She said, making sure that my parents, heard her.
They froze.
I froze. Dad turned to the Pony pad.
"I KNEW IT!" Dad called, pointing a finger at the screen.
"If it helps any, this is a recent thing." I said, as quickly as possible.
"How recent?" Dad interrogated, narrowing his eyes.
"Last night, after you all went to bed." I said, not liking where the conversation could head.
"And what happened then?" Before I could say: "Star came to talk to me," The mare in question interjected.
"I crawled into his bed, and we decided on it, and then he groomed me." Star said. Dad's eyes buldged out of his head. I dropped my head into my hooves.
"My Celestia, what did I do to deserve this?" I asked the ceiling.
"You made me wait." Star said. I looked at her.
"You're still going on about that? That was a month ago! And I think "as-soon-as-possible" isn't that much of a wait."
"Not that," She said, pecking me on the cheek. "On the snuggling."
"YOU DID WHAT!?!" Dad screeched.
"In a platonic way! Nothing happened!" I groaned.
"I wouldn't call that massage nothing, your hooves are the real magic not your horn, though your horn aint' that bad." Star said. Before my Dad could say something messed up, I slowly raised a hoof to point to my unicorn horn. He closed his mouth. Then, I said to star:
"Please, for the love of the princesses, STOP MAKING DIRTY JOKES!"
