Meet Twi Sparkle,
Her bro, Shiny,
Mama Twilight,
Night, her dad!
(I wanted to do a Flintstones parody instead, but I couldn't get past the second line.)
Hmm, I would have thought Grubber would get a bit more dinner conversation. All of them are familiar with Spike, sure, but Night Light and Twilight Velvet would not be familiar with Grubber.
Yet another good story with the Advanced Projects group!

A fellow Jetsons fan, eh?
What about (don't say I didn't warn you...):
(Cheese Sandwich made me do it. Put down that chainsaw...)
10762815
You saw how nervous he was when he walked in the door. I can only imagine what Tempest threatened to do to him if he got out of line...
10762821
Bravissimo, that's a lot better than I would have come up with!
Honestly, credit for the idea goes to Chuggaaconroy. Enjoy.
So none of them have tried snuggling up to the only guy in the group at night (in their sleep or otherwise) yet, and instead default to dreaming about books and magic as usual?
Admirable dedication to the job. Or they're all asexual/don't swing that way, which is fine. Or the "season" hasn't hit yet.
As opposed to aging chess?
I really need to reread Trixie's debuting story now.
Yup, still heartbreakingly sad. Even more potent since we know exactly who she's talking about but they don't.
The foreshadowing of some schism in the group later down the line perhaps?
10762821
Yeah I was getting serious Flintstones vibes at one point in this story. Can't remember the exact moment that set it off though. "Button" as a nickname made me think of "Coraline" though so it's not like I need a lot to go on.
Nice slice-of-life :)
oi!
Apparently it's that you passed down a propensity for unwarranted-but-it-turns-out-really-warranted self-doubt.
God, I love this AU. What an awesome entry to this! Also... that foreshadowing is killing me. Now I half expect Twilight to breakdown and all of a sudden the friend group dissolves into factions! Oh God- DISCORD PUT DOWN THE GUN.
Excellent work on the exchanges, characterizations, general wrap-up and future story set-up in this one-shot, Definitely understood the discussion concerning their latest adventure as well as the frustrations of the stuff with the crowd of fans. Also enjoyed Twilight introducing her friends to her parents (with the obvious exception of Spike, who already knows Twilight's parents quite well).
All in all, quite an enjoyable post-big-adventure slice-of-life with some great foreshadowing.
Please, author, please have Tempest and Twilight get together. I feel so much romantic tension between the two, it hurts. It hurts so much.

Thanks for commenting! And just checking, have you read First of Many yet? That might have what you're looking for.

Thanks much, Comickook -- yes, this was intentionally a quieter, slice-of-life kind of story, as a break between the larger drumbeats in this series. And it's great to hear that it works well for you.
10764968
Oh thank you lord
10764648
Thanks so much! It's great to hear that it works so well for you, given it's more of a "serious" in-character series, as opposed to parody one-shots. As always, we aims to please!
This was really good! Great job with this, seems like there's a looming foreshadowing in Velvet's words though

... when is twilight’s Kirin Ancestry being brought up?
10764648
Or consider the alternative - Twilight breaks down and nothing else bad happens, because it turns out she didn't bring anything to the group after all and everything everyone said this story is a hollow platitude.
10765639
Ah. That's one alternative I guess lmao.
Even missed two, what is wrong with me?
Almost sounds like someone from a video game, if you ask me.
...Or that.
10762938
Ah, a fellow Chugga fan, eh?
10778368
Hey, RuBoo -- and thanks for reading. It's always nice to see a regular stop by!
10763276
Oh, Lord...
The horrors that poor Cheese Sandwich would go through!!
THE HORRORS!! THE HORRORS!!
…
You’re ponies, you all have long faces.

It is also possible that Cheese is simply too slick for them to catch. Notice how, when all of them were on the floor, he deployed a hammock and stayed on the ceiling. After that discussion in the Livingroom it makes sense that he would stay nearby but well out of reach, and likely vacate entirely when they go into season.
