Chapter 11
In the classroom, only two words were on the blackboard that day: SELF STUDY. Cheerilee was at her desk marking tests and the foals in her class were doing anything but studying. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were at the back of the classroom, busy discussing their talent show performance.
“Say Spike, why you so quiet?” Pip asked him curiously, seeing the unicorn colt hasn’t spoken a word.
Spike just shook his head. “Nah it's nothing, except just me trying to erase some images...”
Upon the word ‘images’, the others turned to Spike. Each of them had a different look, mixed in with curiosity. “What kinda images?”
“Images that come from... ‘the talk’.”
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jerked back as they closed their eyes in disgust. “Twilight gave you the talk too?!” Sweetie asked him, and Spike nodded his head. “My parents gave me that! That along with old family pictures!” Sweetie squeaked as she looked grim from the memories.
“Granny Smith had that done to me, along wit’ pictures of me, Applejack and Big Mac. She didn’t know when to stop, not until she heard me in the bathroom...”
Scootaloo, Light and Pip looked to each other. Each one shrugging until they turned back to their other friends. “What’s ‘the talk’?” Light asked innocently as he had no idea what they were talking about.
“Um,” Spike began to speak, looking to Apple Bloom and Sweetie who just looked away from his gaze. “Ask Blaze tonight, I’m sure he will tell you,”
Light looked at Spike with furrowed eyebrows until he sighed. “Ok,” he said and looked back at some papers. “Anyway, let’s go over the performance again shall we?”
“Yeah!” Scootaloo said as they looked to the lyrics Spike wrote, and to the plans of the stage that was near completion. “I say after school today, we’ll be able to get our stage ready,”
“We better, or we’re sitting ducks for tomorrow’s performance.”
“More like sitting losers!”
The six foals turned to Diamond Tiara, who was accompanied by a nervous Silver Spoon. The prissy earth pony sneered at the six foals as she looked to the lyrics and to the plans they had on their desk.
Light came in between Diamond Tiara and gave her a deathly glare. “Mind your manners!”
“Hmm... no, I don’t think I will. I think I’ll keep calling you a wuss.”
“Really?” Miss Cheerilee’s voice rose over Diamond Tiara’s, causing her to tense up. “Then I think I’ll extend you detention an extra week. And I think I’ll tell your father that working in his shop over the summer would be good for you.”
Diamond Tiara turned and gaped. “What? But... but...”
“That’s final, Diamond. I’m tired of your attitude. Now then, I believe you owe them an apology.” She turned her hardest glare at her.
Gulping, Diamond Tiara turned, said “Sorry,” as crudely as she thought she could get away with, then stormed off, her posse following behind.
Shaking her head, Cheerilee turned back to her students. “I’m hoping she’ll see her habits do more harm than good eventually. Are the six of you alright?”
“Yes, Miss Cheerilee,” they said in unison.
“Excellent,” she said. “Then keep up your work. I’m looking forward to whatever is is you come up with.”
As she walked off, Spike turned to Apple Bloom. “Okay, let’s take it from the top again. Are you sure you can get this down?”
“Ah’m sure, Spike,” she said. “Ah may not be as good as Sweetie, but Ah’ll get it!”
“I still say Sweetie should sing it,” Scootaloo spoke up. “Come on, it makes no sense to teach somepony else when you sing just fine!”
Sweetie gulped and began sweating. “B-but... up there in front of everypony! I can’t handle that!”
“Come on, it won’t be so bad...”
“Uh-uh, I’m not doing it!”
Scootaloo sighed. “Fine,” she muttered, turning back to Light and Pip about the stage.
Spike looked to where Sweetie Belle was trying to teach Apple Bloom how to sing certain notes correctly. He couldn’t help but smile, seeing her smile and her bright green eyes. Spike shook his head and scooted in closer to where the two were sitting.
“Ok Apple Bloom, now you try it,” Sweetie Belle told her friend and sat back a little.
Apple Bloom opened her mouth and began to sing softly, though the volume was growing by each second and when she reached a certain note every pony in the room covered their ears from the screeching sound. Apple Bloom looked around the room meekly and she lowered herself in her desk more, with her cheeks burning bright.
“Sorry.”
Spike turned his attention to Sweetie Belle, who was shaking her head slightly as she rubbed her forehead. “Hey, Sweetie.”
The filly’s eyes looked to Spike and she couldn’t help but blush a little when he was smiling at her. She smiled back softly and blinked fast. “Yes, Spike?”
The colt began to swear slightly and his words were not forming so well in his mouth. Why am I so nervous with Sweetie now?! “I was just wondering...”
“Hmmm?” Sweetie’s head leaned forward. Why is he so nervous, unless!
“I was wondering if you, um...”
He’s going to ask me on a date! Sweetie beamed suddenly as she started batting her eyelids. “Yes?”
“Do you think we can-”
Spike’s words were interrupted when Apple Bloom rushed in between them and showed some notes to Sweetie. “Ah think Ah finally got this right, Sweetie!” she said excitedly, only noticing Sweetie’s withering glare at her friend. “Sweetie?”
Spike was pulled back by Light, who wanted his opinion on the stage. He sighed and looked back at Sweetie, who was fuming at Apple Bloom.
“Oh well...” he whispered and turned back to his other friends.
“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” Apple Bloom waved her hoof before Sweetie’s head.
Sweetie smashed her hooves to the desk, making Apple Bloom jump back.
“Oh come on!!!”
Blaze was stunned when he reached the door of the Ponyville Library. On the wooden barrier was a note that read “Library closed today for some personal business.”
Blinking, he opened the door. “Twi? Twi, what’s going on?”
“I’m up here,” she called from another room. “In the dining area.”
Confused, he began heading in that direction. “Are you still going to need me today?”
“Yes. Actually, I wanted to talk with you about something very important.”
As Blaze entered the dining room, he stopped again. Twilight had placed out a spread on the table, and there were cups of tea on the cloth. Twilight was seated in one chair, looking nervous. “Please, take a seat.”
Puzzled, the modified pegasus began to do as he was told, though with some reluctance. “Uh, Twi... what’s going on? Is something wrong?”
“Kind of... I need to talk to you about something...”
His eyes widened. “Did I lose custody of Light?”
“What? No!”
“Am I going to jail?”
“No!”
“Then I fail to see how this could be bad news.”
“It’s not... well, maybe it is. I don’t know how you’re going to react to it.”
“Well, just tell me and we’ll see.”
Twilight took a deep breath. “Blaze... do you like hanging out with me?”
“Of course,” the pegasus said. “You might be my best friend... but that’s because I don’t get much of a chance to hang out much yet.”
Twilight nodded. “And I enjoy having you around too,” she said. “And that could be a problem.”
Blaze arched his eyebrow, looking at Twilight’s eyes. “Because I’m a convict and you’re my parole officer?”
Twilight nodded, but looked away as she rubbed the back of her head. “That’s partially the point...”
“Partially?”
“I’m your parole officer. I was told not to get too attached to you. Me being your friend is bad for the job... and it could mean trouble for you. You could be seen as trying to manipulate.”
Blaze’s eyes widened. “What? But... I would never...”
“I know that, but the parole board might not be so forgiving.”
“So, what are you going to do about that?”
“I’ll get to that in a minute,” she said, shifting a bit. “I need to ask you about something else first.”
“What’s that?”
The lavender mare gulped as she scooted closer to Blaze. “Have you ever had a friend who you liked very much?” she asked him, softly though.
“Hmmm,” Blaze tapped his chin and looked up to the ceiling. “Well, with friends in my life there have been only a few... you included. But yeah, I liked them very much. Like you, I like you very much.”
Twilight’s cheeks went red as she smiled and giggled. “Thank you, I like you very much too.”
Blaze nodded as he took a sipped on his tea. Why is Twilight so nervous today? Was it something I said?
“But I like you not as a friend...”
The red stallion spat out his tea and turned sharply to Twilight, with his eyes widening. “What did you say there, Twilight?”
Twilight sighed and she took another sip of her tea, before gulping it down. “Blaze, it’s just for how long now I've always admired you for how dedicated you are. Not only that, but you are self-sacrificing for insuring Light’s happiness and for always being there for him. I know your life hasn't had the good beginning, but you always take on every challenge it throws at you,” she said as she came closer to the stallion, never leaving eye contact. “You’re also a very good friend to me, even though I thought you would despise me for being a parole officer and your superior for work. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were there for me. You make me laugh and make me happy when I feel down. You also make me feel more special than I thought of myself...”
Blaze sat there, mesmerized by Twilight’s words and by her light purple eyes. He felt his breath becoming slower and he moved his mouth, though no words were coming out when he tried to speak.
“Twilight... what are sa-”
Rainbow Dash was feeling the burn now. It was another in a long line of hard training days, but she could manage.As she sweated out the last of her liquid, Spitfire approached her. “Excellent work today, rookie. I’m really liking your style.”
“Ma’am, thank you, ma’am!”
“You’ve been doing so good, that I’m going to recommend you and Blaze for the Advanced Training Regiment.”
“Thanks, I... wait, what?”
“Was there a word in that sentence that confused you, rookie?”
“Yes,” she answered, being unexpectedly short with her commander, “the ‘you and Blaze’ part!”
“He’s an excellent partner for you.”
“He’s only here half the time!”
“And in that half he still manages to put in the training and keep off. I admire his dedication! I think the two of you would make excellent long-term partners.” Spitfire answered with a smirk.
Rainbow Dash gaped. She could handle putting up with Blaze with training... but making a career out of hanging out with him? She wasn’t so sure she wanted that.
“But... Ma’am...”
“No buts, Rookie,” the commander snapped. “If you have a problem with it, take it up with Blaze.”
Rainbow scrunched her lips as she saluted. “Yes, ma’am!” With that, Spitfire flew off, leaving Rainbow behind. The cyan furrowed her eyebrows as she thought of how a stallion like him could ever be her career partner.
“Dashie?”
Rainbow’s head turned sharply. “What!?” she shouted out, not knowing who it was. She widened her eyes to see Spectrum back away slightly from her. “Oh! Sorry, Dad!” she said hastily as she walked closer to him.
“It’s fine,” he said as he waved his hoof. “What’s got your tail in a twist?” he asked her, seeing her irritable face.
Rainbow sighed as she looked to her father. “I was assigned for the Advance Training Regiment...”
Spectrum smiled broadly as he hugged his daughter. “That’s great! I had to work for years just to get there!” he spoke loudly holding his daughter, but he felt her body wasn’t reacting well to the news. He let go and turned to her face. “So why is that a problem?”
“Blaze is in it, too...”
The stallion arched his eyebrow as he tilted his head. “The red colt who helped you and your friends out?”
“Before that, he was working for that sick pony...”
Spectrum nodded as he closed his eyes. “And you don’t trust him that much?”
“Yeah!” Rainbow yelled as she looked away. “Now I’m his partner, too!”
“Why not go and talk to him?”
Rainbow nodded as she looked up. “I will, but I wonder where he is now... I was told it was his day off today,”
Spectrum turned to the direction of Ponyville. “Maybe you should ask your friend Twilight? She’s the parole officer, isn’t she?”
“Hey, yeah!” she spreaded her wings and took off to the air. “Thanks, Daddy!” she shouted out to him as she flew off to Ponyville.
Spectrum just stood still there, a small smile forming on his face that soon beamed. She called me daddy again...
Rainbow Dash landed in front of the Golden Oaks Library, determined to convince Twilight to undo the decision to make Blaze her partner. She thought of going through the front door, but she was angry. She wanted to talk to Twilight now.
She circled around the tree trunk, looking for the appropriate window. Remembering the layout, she found it quickly. And she burst through.
“Twilight, I need to talk to you right...”
She gaped.
Twilight was laying on her couch... directly under Blaze, who was braced over her, with her forelegs wrapped around his neck. And before the interruption, their lips had been touching.
For a good half a minute, the three ponies just gaped at each other, their eyes widened, their cheeks reddening. Finally, Blaze spoke.
“Um...” Then he sighed. “This is exactly what it looks like.”
And then Rainbow Dash fainted.
Rainbow Dash slowly awoke to a strange slurping sound. Groaning and moaning, she awoke to see something that made her wish she was unconscious again.
Blaze and Twilight were on Twilight’s couch, kissing. And not a quick, loving peck, but slovenly kissing, likely with tongue.
“Aw... aw!”
“Hey, how about some privacy?” Blaze complained.
Before Rainbow Dash could voice any other objection, the door opened, and Fluttershy entered. “Everypony, I have an announcement. I have a new coltfriend!”
“What?” Rainbow Dash said. “What? But... who?”
A flash of white light answered her question. “Me!”
Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened even further. “Discord?”
“Yes! Fluttershy’s kind and caring nature has transformed me! I now only want to do good thanks to her love!
“But... it’s so unlikely!” Rainbow yelled out to the draconequus. “You must have brainwashed her you sick-”
“Rainbow!” Fluttershy shouted to her friend, glaring at her eyes. Her eyes narrowed every second, causing Rainbow to slump down to the ground. “Leave Discord alone!” she spoke to her and when she stopped glaring at the cyan mare, she floated up to Discord’s level. “Come here, you,” she said with her voice sultry and her lips locked with his as they began to smooch up a storm.
Rainbow Dash sat on her haunches, with her jaw hung open. The door knocked again and her head turned slowly towards it. This time it was Applejack who entered, and she looked confused when she saw Discord and Fluttershy together.
“What in tarnation is happening here?!”
Rainbow sighed in relief, flying quickly to her friend. “Discord did something to her Applejack! We need to-”
“Whoa there, sugarcube! Just looks like they in love, like I am,”
“Wha-”
“Honey, are you in here?” Dash’s ears perked when she heard two male voices calling from the door and her eyes nearly popped out when she saw who it was.
“The Flim Flam Brothers?!”
Flim and Flam entered the building and stood beside Applejack, placing their front hooves onto her. They looked to see Discord and Fluttershy together and gave a simultaneous whistle. “They sure are smooching up a storm there, ain’t that right, honey?” Flim asked Applejack as he stroked her mane.
Applejack giggled as she blushed. “Kinda makes me jealous that they’re so proactive.”
“What’s there to stop us?” Flam asked her rhetorically, bringing his lips to hers.
“Hey no fair! We all have to share!” Flim shouted mockingly as she joined in, his trademark hat falling from his head.
“No... no!”
“Yes, yes!” Pinkie said, jumping in. “Ooh, meet my coltfriend!”
“Not you too! Who is it?”
A trail of black energy seeped in, and Rainbow Dash tensed. “No,” she said as it came closer. “N-”
“Honk!” King Sombra suddenly declared as his energy pinched Rainbow Dash’s nose. As she backed up, stunned, Sombra rolled on the ground, laughing like a schoolcolt. “Ha ha! Got you!”
“Wh-what?”
“Pinkie Pie has taught me to laugh! To think, all the killings, enslavements, and general misery I’ve caused could have been avoided if somepony had been around to give me pillow talk!”
“Pillow talk?!”
“Oh yes, Pinkie’s really wild in bed.”
“Oh, don’t pretend you don’t like it, Sombry,” she cooed, nuzzling him.
Rainbow Dash felt like she was going to faint again. “But... but...”
“Oh don’t worry, Dashie, we found you a coltfriend too.”
“What?”
Pinkie pointed behind Rainbow Dash. She turned...
“No, no,....noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Yep,” Bloodwing said, wiggling his eyebrows. “Com’ere, Dashie!”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
"...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-”
A splash of water cut her off.
Rainbow’s head jerked up as she shivered, her eyes darting to every corner. Twilight stood before her, looking concerned and Rainbow launched herself forward. She held onto Twilight, sighing in relief.
“Thank Celestia you’re alright, Twilight!” Rainbow said as she let go of her friend, drying herself off with a towel Twilight offered her.
Twilight arched her eyebrow as she looked confused. “Of course I am alright, Dash, why wouldn’t I be?”
As she finished wiping her face dry, Rainbow bit scrunched her lips. “‘Cause I could have sworn I saw Blaze taking advantage of you before tripping out!”
“What?! There’s no way he would do that!”
Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Well I don’t know about that, but I swore I saw him kissing you and-”
“He did,” Twilight chimed in, her cheeks burning as she blinked. “Well... it was really me that started it...”
The cyan mare gulped as she cleared her ears. “What’s that?”
“What she said was, she kissed me,” a voice behind Rainbow came and she turned to see Blaze standing behind her before flying off to Twilight and nuzzling her. “I just merely returned the gesture,” he said with a kind smile, as his eyes never left Twilight’s.
Rainbow’s mouth tried to speak, but no words were coming out. “H-How long was this going for?”
Twilight shrugged and she smiled broadly. “About a day.”
The red stallion kissed her cheek and drew her close. “A little longer for me...”
“Really?” Twilight asked as she looked at him, smiling and planting her lips to his cheeks. Her ears perked when she heard loud breathing and she turned to Rainbow. “Rainbow?” she asked curiously, seeing her friend’s wide eyes and small pupils.
“Is she ok?” Blaze whispered to her ear and decided to walk towards Rainbow and wave his hoof to her face. “Hello~”
“I... I... aw wah mah...” Rainbow Dash mumbled incoherently as her brain tried to catch up with what was going on. “You two... dating?”
“Glad to see you’ve finally joined the conversation,” Blaze snarked. “And yeah, Twilight had good enough taste in stallions to chose me.”
“How modest of you,” Twilight said playfully giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
“Okay... eww,” the cyan pegasus noted, turning away. “Disgusting sights aside, Twi, don’t you think that maybe this isn’t a good idea? I mean, you’re his parole officer for Luna’s sake! Don’t you think you have a bit of a conflict of interest?”
“It would be, if I hadn’t resigned from the position last night,” Twilight assured.
Rainbow Dash looked at Blaze, waiting to see surprise on his face. There wasn’t any. “It’s true,” he said, with a fake disappointing tone. “I guess my charms were too much for her.”
Rainbow Dash felt a shiver go up her spine. “But...”
“Blaze, why don’t you go get some more tea and we’ll talk about this?”
“Sure thing,” he said, giving another peck on the lips before departing to the kitchen.
Sighing, Twilight turned back to her friend. “I know how this must look, Rainbow Dash, but you heard what I said. I have no more authority on when Blaze gets free. He has no reason to seduce me anymore.”
“No reason? Twilight, you’re the pony that’s most buddy-buddy with Princess Celestia, except maybe Luna. Don’t you think maybe he’s trying to take advantage of that?”
“...That thought did occur to me,” she admitted, “but I don’t think so. He’s been really genuine and sweet... I think if you got to know him better, you’d like him.”
“I know... but Twi, he helped the guy who nearly killed my daughter!”
“That pony nearly killed my son, too,” Twilight pointed out, “and Blaze was just as much a victim of Bloodwing as we were. You wouldn’t have done any less for Scootaloo, would you?”
Rainbow Dash was silent for a long while. “...If Bloodwing had won, thousands would have been killed. I’d want to save Scootaloo first, but...” she trailed off. “I want to say I’d do the right thing, but... I don’t think I would have.”
“So... you’ve thought about it, too?”
Rainbow slumped down on the couch as she sighed, placing her head on her hooves as she rubbed her forehead. “I heard from Scootaloo what Blaze went through just to keep Light safe and all... I will admit, that is loyalty right there.”
Twilight nodded as she sat next to Rainbow. “Wait. Where did Scootaloo hear all this?” Twilight asked as the thought came to her head.
The cyan pony smiled as she shrugged. “From Light, she’s always hanging around him when they’re together with their friends,” Rainbow’s ears twitched when she heard Twilight giggling. “What’s so funny?”
Twilight stopped as she cleared her throat. “Nothing, it’s just so cute... he’s a sweet little colt, that one,” she said as she smiled at her friend’s confused face.
Rainbow arched her eyebrow, until her eyes widened. “You don’t mean!” she said and saw Twilight nod. “Oh no! Oh no no no! There’s no way I’m letting my foal da-”
“Oh relax, Rainbow,” Twilight said as she waved her hoof. “It’s nothing to panic about,” she said as she placed a hoof to Rainbow’s shoulder.
As Rainbow calmed down, she could hear the chattering of china coming from the kitchen and saw Blaze exiting it with a teapot and three cups. “Hope you all like green tea, my speciality,” Blaze said as he placed it down on the table in front of the mares. “I see you calmed down at least,” he said to Rainbow as he saw her eyes gazing to the tea.
Rainbow shook her head and furrowed her eyebrow at the stallion. “I’m keeping an eye on you and your colt, if-”
“Woah woah! What did Light do now?”
The cyan mare opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off by the sound of the door opening downstairs and closing. “Mom, I’m home!” she head Spike’s voice call out from downstairs and heard other foals downstairs with him.
Rainbow sighed as she got up. “Nevermind! Just know that I’m keeping an eye on you, if anything happens to Twi-”
“Yes! Now can we just act like mature ponies here, please, Rainbow!” Twilight chimed in as she levitated her cup to her muzzle and took a sip of the tea. “You have got to try this tea, Rainbow, it’s delicious.”
Blaze grinned as he hovered and placed his hooves to the back of his head. “C’mon, it's just green tea is all.”
Rainbow shook her head and grabbed her cup, sipping the tea carefully. Her eyes widened as she gulped it down. This really is good tea...
“Are you sure we need to do this?” Scootaloo whined for what must have been the fifth time on the way to the Golden Oaks Library.
“For the last time, yes,” Spike snapped. “Tomorrow’s the show, and I want to make sure everything is alright.”
“It’s fine! I’m telling you, the stage is perfectly fine. It’ll stay up.”
“Like your last stage did?”
“Yeah, well... that’s different!”
“I still want Mom to double-check your calculations.”
“But...”
“Aw, Scoots, give it a rest,” Apple Bloom scolded. “I really don’t want to end up fallin’ through the floorboards like last time.”
The pegasus filly fumed, but stayed quiet as they walked.
“‘Sides, I don’t think it’d hurt ta look it over,” Pip added.
Scootaloo’s scowl stopped any concurrences.
Spike was the first at the library door. When he opened, he was greeted to a sight of his mother sitting and chatting with Blaze and Rainbow Dash, with a tension he could feel bristling in the air.
“Kids, you’re home!” Twilight noted.
“Yeah, we were hoping...”
But Twilight cut him off, much to his surprise. “Rainbow Dash, could you take Scoots, Sweetie, Pip, and Apple Bloom into the book rooms? We need to have a talk with our kids.”
That statement confused the group of foals. Rainbow Dash cast a wary glance at Blaze before sighing. “Come on,” she said, “I’ll help you find whatever it is you’re looking for.”
The six foals blinked and looked to each other, shrugging before four of them followed Rainbow Dash to the other room. Sweetie and Scootaloo looked at Spike and Light one last time before entering the room, with Rainbow closing it.
Spike and Light stood before Twilight and Blaze, feeling nervous as both foals were shuffling their hooves. “Um, Mom?”
Twilight smiled and looked down to her son. “Yes, Spike?”
“Are we in trouble for something?”
The lavender mare giggled as she closed her eyes. “Oh no, not at all,” she said before opening her eyes again, her smile vanishing for a moment. “Unless Cheerilee has a letter for me that you-”
“Oh no, we didn’t do anything bad in school. Honest!” Light chimed in for Spike as he stood next to his unicorn friend.
Twilight sighed and smiled again. “Oh good, anyway,” she said before clearing her throat. “There’s something Blaze and I need to tell you two, seeing as you two are family to us,”
Spike and Light blinked before turning to each other. Light’s blank face suddenly beamed in happiness for a moment before turning to Twilight. “Has his parole ended!?” Light eagerly asked as he hopped up and down.
Twilight smiled sadly with her eyelids half-hooded as she shook her head. “Unfortunately not, Light, sorry...”
Light’s jumping stopped and his ears drooped, with his smile being replaced with a frown. “Oh... ok...”
Spike patted Light’s shoulder, before looking at his mother. “Well, what is it, Mom?” he asked her as he let go of Light.
It was Twilight’s turn to be nervous, as she smiling with her lips scrunched and darting her eyes. “Well, you see...”
Spike turned his ear to her. “What was that?”
“The truth is, I...”
“What Twilight is trying to say, boys... is that we’ve decided to start dating.”
Spike and Light tilted their heads as they blinked. “Huh?”
“You know, fillyfriend and coltfriend?”
Both of the little colts widened their eyes quite a bit. “What?”
“Look, I know this is going to be a big change for you two,” Twilight said soothingly, “especially if this ends up working out. But these are going to be changes for the better, you wait and see.”
“But... but if you two end up...” he couldn’t choke out the word, “then that would make Light... my uncle!?”
“I’m too young to be an uncle!” the little pegasus wailed, dropping to his knees pitifully.
“Huh, good point,” the adult colt mused. He thought a moment before sighing. “I guess it can’t be helped. Why don’t I just make you my son instead? Everypony at the orphanage was saying you should be anyway.”
Light looked at the pony that cared for him for so long. It was true, in many respects he had been like a father to him. Still, after referring to him as his brother for so long, the title just seemed awkward.
“Well... I...”
Twilight sighed. “Look, I know this is a big shock. Maybe we just need some time to simmer. Why don’t the two of you go and finish up your talent show presentations, and we can talk more tomorrow after the show?”
Both colts wanted to talk about it now, but... what would they say? Their guardians had just dropped a rather big revelation on them, and were now acting like it was just a normal, everyday occurrence.
“S-sure,” Spike choked out.
“R-right,” Light concurred.
And with that, the two colts turned and raced into the other room as fast as either of them could go without actually running.
Blaze gave a sigh. “Well... I think that went well.”
Twilight sighed as she smiled inwardly, her eyes looking downwards. “Well, we just dropped this onto them all of a sudden... I wouldn’t be surprised if Spike was a little mad at me now.”
“How do you figure?”
Twilight giggled again before turning her attention to her stallion. “Remember what I told you of my brother’s wedding?”
“Yeah...”
“He didn’t tell me in person, he told me via a letter... on the day before no less.”
Blaze’s mouth went puckered as he heard this new information. “Wow, and you had to plan out the wedding in a span of a day too?”
Twilight nodded. “Yes...”
“What a doofus move to be honest,” Blaze blurted out before closing his mouth fast. “Sorry...”
Twilight could only chuckle as she shook her head. “It’s alright, he did make up for it... with lots of apologies.”
Blaze chuckled along side her before stopping and looking back to the door. “What you think your friends are gonna say about it?”
“About what?”
Blaze smirked as he rolled his eyes, choosing to place his lips on Twilight’s. He let go of her and looked her in the eye. “About us...”
Twilight smiled softly, placing her hoof to his cheek. “I’m certain that they will understand. They are my friends, after all.”
“Rainbow Dash was very understanding..."
“She’s just worried about me, that’s all,” Twilight answered him as she brought her lips closer to his. “Besides, I’m happy to be here with you... and my friends want me to be happy too.”
Blaze tapped his chin as his eyes went upwards. “Good point!” he said before kissing Twilight again, this time with her melting into the kiss. He wrapped his wings around her as they held each other in their embrace.
Spike sneaked a peak at his mother and Blaze kissing, and he felt sick. He had always heard stories from Sweetie Belle about how disgusting it was to see her mom and dad kiss, and he thought it was exaggeration. But actually seeing his mom do it brought on a bit of revulsion. He shook his head as he rushed downstairs, pulling a face of a disgust as his mouth contorted.
“I can’t believe... ugh!”
“I know! Blaze... dating... Twilight!” Light said dramatically as he sank to his haunches and looked down on the ground, eyes widening.
Spike turned his head sharply to him with a scowl on his face. ”Hey! What’s wrong with my mom?”
“Other than the fact that she’s a psycho?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked as his gaze never left Light.
Light looked back, glaring at Spike as he stood up and came closer to Spike. “She attacked my brother! She could have killed him!”
“Oh, you mean after she found out he was a felon?” Spike retorted with face dangerously close to Light’s.
“You watch it!”
“You watch it!”
“Y’all both watch it!” Apple Bloom demanded as she appeared between the two colts and pushed them away, silencing them with a withering glare of her own. “Now, what’s the big deal? So they’re datin’. Twilight’s a nice pony, even if she does go crazy sometimes.”
“She does... oh who am I kidding?” Spike sighed. “But at least she’s not a con!”
“Hey! My brother...”
“Stop it!” Sweetie demanded. “Both are you are being idiots!”
“But...”
“No!” Sweetie said. “We have a talent show to get ready for, so both you just save it for later!”
The two colts looked at each other before giving a sigh.
“Fine." Both colts said in unison, as they walked past Apple Bloom and Sweetie who were planting their hooves to the faces.
Scootaloo and Pip looked to the others and then to each other, arching their brows.
"Did we miss something?"

Well, this is certainly a humorous chapter.
I wonder who the new parole officer is going to be.
All I could think of was the movie Step Brothers, when Twilight and Blaze dropped the ball on Spike and Light.
HA, Rainbow has the most oddest reactions to "Good News Everypony..."
Great update, as it seems that Things may get a little interesting in the coming chapters and maybe Spike may have a Stepbrother along the way.
Plus, with all these romance hook ups around her, it looks like Rarity's going to be working into overtime to make sure everything's perfect.
Something tells me that on the night of the talent show, Apple Bloom may suffer a sore throat that may force Sweetie Belle and Spike to do the act together and maybe confess each other's attraction to one another that would end with them sharing a light kiss on the lips.
Please do keep up the good work upon such a wonderful storyline like this one.
Light, if Blaze marries Twilight, you get grandparents. Loaded grandparents.
And now I have lost my reason to keep reading this.
Ok, maybe not stop reading, but I won't enjoy this story anymore, sorry. And I do have reasons why;
1.Spike is still a colt and maybe it's just me but his personality feels so different as a pony.
2.Twilight and Blaze.
3.Blaze and Twilight.
That's all I can think of, but there it is so....yeah. Good story and good luck!
MOAR!
He doesn't even deny it!
Aww Spikily is jealous of Sharing his mommy with Blaze and light that so cute!!

Bleech I think I puked on my laptop twice reading just two paragraphs of blaze and Twilight kissing
. It didn't feel at all like the normal kind of love you see between two people. It looked like those two kids making out on the bus in a very intimate and wrong way and all anybody can think around them is "COME ON, GET A ROOM!" "I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT CRAP"
. Sorry, just puked again.
Aside from that it was a decent chapter, but please try to make Twilight and Blaze's relationship look more like an actual relationship and less like two teenagers who must be making out every minute of their life with their new boyfriend/girlfriend. I saw enough of that crap in high school.
A very good chapter, but there are two things that disappoint me and that involves both Twilight and Blaze. First of all, Twilight says that Blaze makes her feel more special than she thought of herself. Hello?! Spike is your son Twilight, he should make you feel special every day!
Next, I think it is pretty darn selfish of Blaze and Twilight to start dating and just think about becoming a complete family without discussing it with Light and Spike first. 
Now Spike and Light is upset with each other, and I am afraid what is going to happen moving forward. 
Hate to break it to you Spike, but Twilight has some issues... Like stress disorder(s)
I seriously think something is going to give with Diamond Tiara. She is eventually going to lose it and just lash out on the CMC, regardless whose present.
I'm expecting Rainbow to lose it as well. She does not like Blaze, and by extension, Light. She was just told Light and Scootaloo hang out a lot. I expect Rainbow to do her very best to ensure that Light and Scootaloo don't start dating. I just hope she doesn't make the same mistake her father made with her.

Well you know what they say about "history repeating" itself...
Besides, I would think that Rarity's and Sweetie Belle's parents may have something to say about Spike and Sweetie's relationship.
The same thing goes for Twilight's family being against her love for Blaze.
2774809 2774387
Well you know what they say about how we let our emotions get the best of us.
Besides it was the "heat of the moment" and maybe Twilight's a bit rusty at the dating scene.
2782179
Yah, I can't argue with that. Both Blaze and Twilight are pretty new to the dating scene, so maybe it'll get better once they get all these new emotions out of their system.
2783548
Then a similar thing could be said for the young love of Spike and Sweetie Belle and also Light and Scootaloo.
2783725
I think it's slightly different for them. They are way to young to go about dating like Twilight and Blaze are now. I see it more like young love where you hold hands hang out more often and tell everyone you're dating, but you never really go farther than that.
I mean both light and Spike were grossed out by their parents kissing, I don't see them wanting to do that quite yet
2784375
Eh, I was never involved in a romantic relationship when I was young. So I don't know what you're talking about when it comes to young people in love.
Besides, who knows how Scootaloo will take Light's crush on her...
2784967
If it happens at all it'll be interesting, but Scootaloo idolizes Rainbow Dash. So if Dash is against the relationship, and tells Scootaloo not to date him, I don't see it happening.
2786007
Yet you also forget that Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are now mother and daughter and that could be a whole lot differnet than mentor/idol and student/admirer....
Besides if Scootaloo is anything like Rainbow Dash, then we could expect some of her mother's qualities of stubbornness and rebellion kick in soon.
2786072
Well I give you credit, you were right. Let the shipping spree start.
Okay, Light can go buck himself. I try to keep in mind he's only a colt and I'm trying to be fair to him, but I have had it with his attitude. He saw Twilight being scary ONCE when she had a very good reason, and she's been nothing but nice since.
Hmm, I'm sorry, I'm still not feeling Twilight/Blaze
Granted, Blaze HAS been there for Twilight more than her friends have in the actual series
EDIT: Though I do enjoy the alternate take on Winter Wrap Up, although only three unicorns required to stop Twilight's magic defies believability
Pillow Talk and king sombra in one sentence, I take it you are familiar eith the work of Bluntwhiskey?
Shining.and her father dont like blaze that much...
But Rd's dream was so funny>>2782144
You know, I've always wondered why kids are always so grossed out when their parents kiss.
I've seen my parents give once or twice before, and I was never immature about it.
Rainbow's nightmare sequence was just golden!
---related to that: Luna wins the "Slacker Princess Of The Millennium Award" TWICE IN A ROW!!
The first one can be excused for being stuck on the Moon for a thousand years...
But where the hay is that bitch TODAY??
We've got Scootaloo, Spike, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash all getting visits from their own personal Freddy Kruger just about every night!

Um to be fair Rainbow Dash passed out in the middle of the day so Luna wouldn’t have been dreawalking at that time

True that bugged me a bit
