New Photos Mean More Icons

[shine_on_armor]

 Heh.

Oh, sorry; I didn't notice you gave me some new icons. I was to busy smiling at this. 

I don't know how they got that picture, but it's hilarious. Twilight wasn't always a bookworm, huh? I remember dad was so upset, he cried for a whole hour.

What kind of big brother would I be if I didn't share this with you?

...

[She's not happy in case you couldn't tell.]

I was out shopping that day... and your father said she got into his "newspapers".

[shine_on_armor]

Oh.

Uh...

Boy, Twi sure is cute in that picture, isn't she? Cute as a button!

[mommy_twi]

Yes...I remember telling her about the importance of privacy and how it isn't nice to meddle with things that don't belong to you...APPARENTLY I wasn't meddling enough!

[shine_on_armor]

[He chuckles nervously. It looks like he needs to change the subject... BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.]

So... Uh... Dad's got a lot of those magazines. He seems really interested in that stuff.

Do you two ever...?

[mommy_twi]

...Why yes son, that is usually how other ponies are made. Albeit sometimes there's tons of different ways to do it, but it all ends the same in the end, and seeing how you and your sister are here it stands to reason that me and your father have indeed "done" what you're implying.

We haven't recently though outside of the occasional holiday, but here I thought my company would be enough, but it seems like your father has OTHER outlets for that kind of thing!

[...I think you made it worse.]

[shine_on_armor]

No, I knew that, but, um...

One time, when you and dad were out, Twi got into your room and opened your closet and, um... I went in to get her out, and...

Um... I saw a lot of leather.

[mommy_twi]

...Yes. But it seems like your father prefers younger mares!

[shine_on_armor]

Mom, that was just a magazine. Plenty of the guards in the castle have them.

Dad loves you. He probably just, uh, wanted some fresh ideas for things you could do.

[mommy_twi]

[Calm down, calm down...breath, breath...sigh]

...Honey, I know for a fact your father would run to Tartarus and back for me, and I would do the same for him, but I'm not any less...annoyed with him.

Son... you're getting married now, and you need to understand things are going to ...change when you spend your life with your special somepony as oppose to when your single. It's not the same with every bride and groom mind you, and Celestia knows it's not going to be easy, but it's going to happen, and you need to be prepared for it.

...You don't have any of those magazines do you?

[shine_on_armor]

No, actually. I never saw the point in having them.

I don't really need them now, anyway. They couldn't compare to Cadence.

[mommy_twi]

That's good. At least you won't be in any doghouses anytime soon.

[shine_on_armor]

But... We don't have a dog.

... Are we getting a dog?

[mommy_twi]

...It's a figure of speech hon'.

[shine_on_armor]

I'd probably know that if I had an established personality...

[Now he's sad.]

[mommy_twi]

[Hugs]

Oh honey, your wedding is only a few weeks away. Then everypony will know.

[shine_on_armor]

[He hugs her back.]

I know.

... And it's three weeks away.

[mommy_twi]

It makes the time go faster if I don't count this one.

[Logic be damned, her son's getting married!]

[shine_on_armor]

Oh, jeez...

I still can't believe it's finally happening. Cadence is the only pony I've ever had my eye on, and...

Wow.

[mommy_twi]

My either, then again I never would have imagined you getting married to a princess...or your sister fighting the living personification of chaos...life's funny like that.

[shine_on_armor]

Heh. Tell me about it. You know, there was talk about putting her on some recruitment posters.

[His face slowly turns into a scowl.]

Until we found out some guards...

[mommy_twi]

...

That was probably for the best.

[shine_on_armor]

I nearly got suspended after what I did for them...

Luckily, Aquilinus and the Princess vouched for me.

[mommy_twi]

I wouldn't blame you.

Everypony should be very thankful I wasn't there.

[shine_on_armor]

They were. You were actually mentioned by name in the court proceedings.

I'm not even joking.

[mommy_twi]

Yeah, I would be there.

[She sounds way more proud, than she should be.]

[friendship_reporter]

I fail to see what the big deal is, mom. Friends and family are great, but when it comes to basic biological urges, it's kind of better to get something that won't judge you. Like a book.

[Twi why are you butting in. This is not your fight.]

[shine_on_armor]

... Twi, I love you, but you're weird.

Stop telling ponies to have sex with books.

[friendship_reporter]

I'm not-- that's--

SHUT UP! At least it doesn't cause foals you aren't ready for!

[shine_on_armor]

[He snickers.]

Well, I know I'm not ready to be an uncle.

Are you ready to be royalty, though? When I marry Cadence, I think that makes you a duchess or something.

[friendship_reporter]

...It's just a title, in my case. I'll live with it.

[shine_on_armor]

You mean like how you used to live with me?

[mommy_twi]

Twilight... there are some problems that books can't solve, biological included.

You'll understand when you find that special pony.

[friendship_reporter]

Mo-ooomm... don't talk as if I don't know.

The chemical reactions are entirely the same regardless of whether or not one is by themselves or with somepony special!

[Twi, what are you admitting to?]

[mommy_twi]

So you're saying you know already huh? Mind telling me who this pony is?

[You brought this upon yourself.]

[friendship_reporter]

...But I've already told you about the others in Ponyville. About Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie?

I know I haven't gone into as much detail as I did with Princess Celestia, but you KNOW about my friends.

[mommy_twi]

Who said anything about your friends? I'm talking about a pony that's more than a friend.

Besides, it wouldn't be the FIRST time you've hidden things from me.

[friendship_reporter]

You asked me to tell you.

So I'm telling you.

[mommy_twi]

Twilight. I shouldn't have to be specific when I'm talking to you. And you know exactly what I'm talking about.

[friendship_reporter]

...yes, I do. I'm also coming as close to public admission as I feel comfortable doing.

You wouldn't want to shame your daughter in front of the entire internet, would you?

[mommy_twi]

The internet's already done it's fair share of that, much to my dismay.

[Shakes her head]

... No matter what you do, I just want you to be happy, if you're not feeling comfortable I won't force you, but remember... I have my ways of figuring out.
