Epilogue

“Scootaloo, are you ready yet?” Diamond Tiara asked as she put her last bag of tiara’s onto the stagecoach.

“No, Mom! I can’t find Rocky!” Scootaloo said as she threw her one and only bag on the stagecoach. “How can I go out of town without him? What if he starves to death?!” Scootaloo asked. Diamond Tiara glared at her daughter and sighed.

“Scootaloo, Rocky is a rock. Rocks don’t need food...they’re rocks.”

“So?! What’s your point?!” Scootaloo asked.

“...Apple Bloom, are you ready to leave yet?!” Diamond Tiara yelled, deciding to ignore Scootaloo for a minute or two.

“Ah got everything taken care of, if that’s what yer asking,” Apple Bloom said as she got on the stagecoach and took the reigns. “Big Mac, ya ready ta take us to the train station?”

“Eeyup.”

“But, Dad! I can’t find Rocky!” Scootaloo complained, refusing to get on the stagecoach. Diamond swiftly turned to Scootaloo and grabbed her by the ear.

“Scootaloo, for the last time, Rocky is a rock! He’ll be fine by himself!” Diamond Tiara yelled as she dragged Scootaloo inside the stagecoach.

“B-but, Mom-”

“Scootaloo Maria Rich, you will settle down this instant and forget about Rocky!” Diamond Tiara yelled as she forced a pouting Scootaloo to sit down. “Alright, Apple Bloom, take us to the train station.”

“Yes, Ma’am!” Apple Bloom said with a salute. As Apple Bloom whipped the reigns and Big McIntosh pulled the stagecoach, Diamond Tiara sat back into her chair and smiled.

“I still don’t get why we’re going to the Crystal Empire,” Scootaloo whined.

“Scootaloo, sweetie, don’t you want to see your sister?” Diamond Tiara asked with a smile.

“Eh, not really.”

“And what about your brother-in-law?” Diamond Tiara asked once again with a smirk.

“Brother-in-law? Why would I want to see him?” Scootaloo asked. She stared at her mother’s face, observing her smirk when realization dawned on her. “You’re going to give him a hard time, aren’t you?”

“Oh a maliciously hard time,” Diamond Tiara chuckled as she slammed one hoof against the other. “Marrying my daughter and not invite me to the wedding?”

“Mom, you didn’t adopt her until like, two days ago.”

“Shining Armor, you will pay for this crime against motherhood. You. Will. Pay,” Diamond Tiara muttered as she glared in the direction of the Crystal Empire.

...Or at least she was pretty sure that was the direction. Either way in just twelve hours she would meet her son-in-law. And this was going to be one family visit he won’t soon forget.

Author's Note:

Will Shining Armor survive through his mother-in-law's visit? Will Cadance be able to bond with her new family? And will Filthy Rich earn his rightful place as one of the main characters?

Find out the answer to two of these questions in the next installment/spin off of the Mother-verse: How to be a Son-In-Law.

Entering Pre-Production early next month.

Is it wrong I'm looking forward to seeing him squirm?

Shining better hide if he knows what's good for 'im :P

WHAT THE HELL!? YOU LEFT ROCKY BEHIND!?

That was harsh Diamond, way harsh. WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN THE LITTLE BOX?


I can't wait to see what you do with Shining Armore. Oh, Cadance, how your trophy stud handle his IN-LAWS!

And on this day, if you turn toward Canterlot and listen to the wind as it blows across the land, you can hear it carrying the sound of Celestia's voice, laughing her ass off as she holds a copy of Cadance's adoption papers.

That seemed kind of abrupt

"He wouldn't be an actual prince, though said position might (or might not) allow him to use the title of Prince."

Pretty sure they call him "Prince Shining Armor" in season three.

Wow, wait until Cadance tells DT that she's in fact her long lost sister. And how Celestia basically made her the mother to her own sibling ... that's both weird, mind bending, and a bit freaky. But it's also pretty cool. I wonder what Cadance's and Shinybutts kids will call DT? Granny? Aunt Grandma? Aunt Ma?

They called him Prince in "Games Ponies Play". So yep he's a prince.

Will Shining Armor survive through his mother-in-law's visit? Will Cadance be able to bond with her new family? And will Filthy Rich earn his rightful place as one of the main characters?

........Is it wrong that I imagined that in the voice of Morgan Freeman? :twilightsheepish:

Noooo!
Poor Rocky. Left behind like Tom for a bunch of shiny rocks!
:applecry:

Well, the moment has passed.
Will sis end up as mom in the end? Will Shining Armor's sanity crack to the point of no return? Will Celestia add more relatives in the mix?
I eagerly await this sequel.:pinkiecrazy:

Oh good lord. You never cease to amuse me. :twilightsheepish:

Not at all, though with questions I prefer the fast-talking announcer that comes with the old-school "duddle-UH" after each question.

Funny yes, But there is NO WAY THAT DIAMOND BRAT IS THE LITTLE SISTER TO THE PRINCESS OF LOVE HAVE YOU GONG MAD? :flutterrage::twilightangry2::ajbemused::twilightangry2::flutterrage:

You do realize that many family's have a good kid and a bratty kid, right? Siblings being completely different is...well, normal.

4375853 Yes I know that but it's dose not add up for 1) Cadance was Twilight's foalsitter 2) If Cadance is in Diamond's family than are no one from her 'family' was there at her wedding day?

4376417 Okay, good. For a sec there I thought the only reason you thought DT and Cadance was unrelated was due to DT being a brat.

Yeah, the only reason they're related here is for comedic effect. It's not really my headcannon, but if it brings about laughs why not?

4376431 ONE MORE THING Cadance's love of tiaras what is she part dragon?

Great story. Will Diamond ever find out Candace is her sister? I look forward to the next story.

Please Sir can I have another?
