"Which one do you think would look better; bouquets with white and purple liliums or maybe the one with pink and white surrexerunt?" Twilight holds two pictures in front of you with her magic.

"If you mean who looks best between the lilies and roses, I'd say the roses," you say hastily.

"Are you feeling alright? You tend to be more enthusiastic than this. You're not getting cold feet, are you?"

"Of course not sweetie," you reach over and grab her hands. "Why would I get cold feet I am marrying the girl of my dreams?... Actually yeah, that would give cold feet, getting to marry the sweetest, prettiest, most intelligent girl in the whole world. The reason I'm not nervous is that I know we will pull this off just fine. The only thing is that I'm just a little drowsy when it's eight in the morning."

"Yeah sorry, I'm just so eager to have all the plans ready." You smile at her and let her hands go.

"I get it and I do think the surrexerunt would look best, especially with the tablecloth and napkins we've picked."

"Okay then, have you started packing for the Mother Test trip?" Twilight asks you in the middle of a sip of coffee.

"Mmh, you mean what we talked about yesterday?" She nods eagerly but you get a knot of regret in the bottom of your stomach. "Yeah sorry, the drinks we had last night kinda blurred it out." She gives you a look of disbelief and irritation.

She has put her chest-long purple hair with two stripes of different shades of purple up in a ponytail, giving her a somewhat childish look but at the same time cute on her. She is wearing her red reading glasses which you bought her when she was told she needed them. Her purple skin had no sign of makeup seeing how she said it was a waste of time.

"Really, you forgot something that important? I can't believe you sometimes." She puts her arms across her chest.

"Hey, I'm really sorry Twi, I just don't have eidetic memory like you. Could you tell me again?"

"Okay then, since it's you," she said, smiling a little as it gave her another chance to have to lecture you. "It's got to do with an old tradition dating back before Princess Luna ever became Nightmare Moon. It was called the 'Parental Femininity Conscientiousness Act'. You see, way back then, in order for a bride to prove herself worthy of being wed to the groom, she had to perform a series of tests for her soon-to-be father in law in order to be given consent to the marriage. However, in the event the father in law can not perform the test on the bride, or is unable to give consent due to reasons of illness or death, there is a sub rule of the 'Parental Femininity Conscientiousness Act' that covers this known as sub rule 42m- 'The Matronhood Appraisal Act', or more commonly know as: "The Mother's Test", which switches the role to the groom needing to perform an act to prove himself to a 'motherly' figure of the bride."

It starts to get back to you, somewhat of the reason you took something to drink. Seeing how you're from Europia, these were not the type of wedding rituals you were used to. Having traveled most of your childhood across Europia, you had heard about many types of weddings in connection with religions and such, but there was something special about the Equestrian which you still couldn't remember.

"So, I need to perform a task for the person the bride considers your 'mother"

Twilight smiles. "Those are the basics of it, yes."

You nod. "Makes sense, somewhat."

"It's supposed to determine the quality of the marriage, and I know it sounds weird, but it's tradition and I don't want to doom our marriage."

You can't help but raise an eyebrow. "Oookay, I didn't think you were superstitious."

"I'm not, it's a tradition and dishonoring it would be like breaking a rule." Her voice grew more and more frantic. "Breaking a rule like that would shun us and our families and cast bad karma over us, our house will burn down, we'll have to live in a cave for the rest of our lives in eternal misery and when they one day find our bones, they will put them on public display to commemorate what happens to those who dishonor tradition!" She was now on the brink of hyperventilating.

"Twilight, calm down, it's okay. Whatever this test involves, I'll do it, just... don't overreact!" She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath in and releases it again slowly.

"You're right, sorry I went overboard there."

She had folded her hands in front of her so you put your hands on top of hers. "It's okay, I get this is important to you and I will do anything to make you happy. Could you tell me what this test will involve? Some athletic challenge? Survive a week in the wild? Manage to design a room with matching interior?" She giggles and puts some strands of hair behind her ear.

"Oh no, it's nothing like that silly. You just have to prove to her your skills of satisfaction and procreation!"

You sit there in silence for a moment as Twilight looks up at your reaction before speaking again.

"It means she wants to know how good you are in bed."

Again you are forced to sit there in silence as you try to comprehend what Twilight was trying to tell you. You hear her speak up again.

"It means, you have to have sex wit-"

"I know what it means Twilight!" Twilight jumps as you interrupt her. It was mostly irritation over that you could forget that important detail. "If this is a joke, it's not funny." The look in Twilight's eyes confirms your suspicions that she is in fact, not joking. "Oh sweet Celestia, you want me to go to bed with your mother to show that I can be a good partner to you? I mean, I will respect your ethics but sleeping with someone that you see as a motherly figure is crossing some lines I may not be comfortable with. I can't do it!"

Twilight hangs her head low. "But... It's the rules."

You are about to bring out an argument against her, but you stop as she starts to tear up. You know how much Twilight cares for following the rules. It should have been quite clear she wouldn't have asked you to do this if it wasn't important to her. And now you've made her cry. The most beautiful, smartest, and caring unicorn you had ever known is now crying. You want so much to cheer her up. But... could you really do what she was asking?

You sighed. "Fine, I'll fuck your mother."

Twilight lifts her head up and she tries to clear the tears in her eyes. "You'd better, mister! And you'd better do her good, or we can't get married!"

"For you Twilight, I'll pass that test so well, they'll hear your mother from the Moon."

Twilight smiles and jumps up to throw herself around your neck. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! This means a lot to me."

"No problem," you chuckle and squeeze her hands tightly. "I know how much this means to you. It will probably be embarrassing and awkward, but for you I'll do it." You laugh nervously. "How hard to could it be to please one woman?"

"Three women, sweetie", Twilight corrected. "The Test involves Motherly figure. As such, I sent letters to the three most important mares in my whole life growing up."

"What? But why?!"

Twilight looks at you innocently. "I wanted to make sure our marriage would be perfect! More approval means happier marriage, it's simple math..."

Great, leaving out the small detail of having to sleep with three instead of one. Arguing about it would only make matters worse and you've already agreed on it. You can't afford another tear flow from her, you can't stand seeing her so sad again while knowing it was your fault.

"So when are we leaving?"

In under six hours you find yourself sitting on the train heading towards Canterlot with two bags of clothing- enough for a week, which was the amount of days you've found out you'd need. The lively chatter from Twilight's friends fills the car with Applejack and Rainbow Dash arguing over the usual of whom was stronger, Rarity talking with Fluttershy about dresses for the big day and Pinkie talking loudly to Twilight about the wedding cake and trying to make her have a ridiculous amount of layers. You just let the voices wash over you as you stare out the window.

"You never heard of the Mother Test?!" You jump as Pinkie Pie is suddenly right in your ear.

"Pinkie, you have to do that every time I doze off a little?" She just laughs at you as she usually does.

"Come on answer me, you've never heard of the Mother Test before today?" You shake your head. "Wow, I would have thought you'd known that by now being with such a book lover as Twilight." She lowered her voice suddenly and whispered in your ear. "I think she actually made love to one of her favorite novels once."

You can't help but get interested. "Are you serious?"

"Phahahaha, of course not silly," she said, exploding in laughter in getting you to bite on another one of her pranks. "I really got you there, you're face is so red right now!"

Pinkie's outburst called the attention of the others in the cabin as she falls on the floor, laughing her ass off. You have to smile too since she had set that one up and you had walked right into it. Just as she starts calming down and breathing in more than short gasps, a whistle blows and a voice echoes through the old speakers.

"We are now arriving at Canterlot Station, I repeat, we are arriving at Canterlot Station. Please remember all luggage as you exit and thanks for choosing Equestria Trains for your travels."

"Finally," Dash groans and gets up as she stretches her wings. "I've been dying to get some wind under my wings."

"Then why the hay didn't you just dive out the window and fly beside the damn train," AJ complains as you start to make your way to the exit. "Woulda saved me a lot of complainin' and mah hearin' not listening to you."

You get off on the station and move away to the other people pass as well. "Well firstly it's illegal, which I don't care much about, secondly because even though I'm the best flyer there is, even I can't fly from Ponyville to Canterlot without having to take a break and thirdly, last time I did it I got bare spots on the wing joint. Not very pretty or attractive, had them for a month before the feathers grew back."

"Didn't know you could count that high," she mumbled, but Dash didn't seem to catch it. You could almost put money on the fact that there were something under their fighting.

"Hey look," Twilight said before they started again. "There's my parents."

She pointed out a couple with horns by the station's entrance with a sign with hers and your name on it. They spotted you as well and waved to you. Twilight waved back with her free hand before grabbing you and pulling you after her over to them.

Having seen pictures of them you knew what they looked like and in reality they weren't much different. Twilight had definitely gotten her mother's hair and looks, the same long hair and face shape with only difference being she was pale with a hint of grey instead of violet as her daughter. Her hair was paper white with three stripes of the same violet as Twilight and she wore a simple pastel blue dress with purple heels.

It was clear her nose and eyes were from her Father who was night blue with slightly darker hair. He had a plain white shirt beneath an emerald green vest with a low cut and light brown pants. A pair of quite normal-looking parents and you felt, not for the first time, you wish you knew who your father was. Twilight immediately went to embrace them.

"Hi Mom and Dad, it's been so long since I last saw you. I've missed you."

"Oh sweetie, we've missed you too," her mother says as she holds around her daughter. "I can't believe you're getting married, you've grown so fast."

"Think, our little girl is getting married," her father said. "Feels like yesterday you got sent to Ponyville."

"Come on Dad, you're embarrassing me." They let go of the family reunion hug. "Come over here, you, too; don't stand there so awkwardly." She waves at you to come closer.

"Uhm, hi," you say nervously. "I'm-" A sudden embrace from her father stops you.

"Of course we know who you are, Twilight never talks about anything but you in her letters." He lets go and holds out his hand for a more formal greeting. "Nice to finally meet you, I'm her father, Night Light."

Knowing that first impressions are important you take his hand and shake it with a steady hand. "Nice to meet you, too sir; I've heard a lot about you."

"And I'm her mother, Twilight Velvet." She gives you her hand as well and you take it, a bit more firm than with her husband.

"Good to meet you miss, I'm glad I finally get to meet the parents of such a wonderful girl as Twilight." The formal tone doesn't really suit you and it's easy to see her parents can see right through it.

"Oh stop the formal façade, if you are anything like what Twilight has told us you can lower your shoulders. And call us Velvet and Night, it sounds better." You sigh, relieved, and let your shoulders drop.

"Thank you, Miss Velvet, I've been pretty nervous about this on the way here. I did look forward to meeting you in person and I heard nothing but good things, it's just that... I just recently learned about this Mother's Test." You notice that Night gets this embarrassed look while Velvet just smiles wide.

"Well let's not discuss that here, I see you have brought your friends along, too sweetie." The second part was meant for Twilight.

"Yeah, since this trip is gonna take a while I thought I might bring my wedding planners with me." She turns to the waiting group of mares. "Come on girls, no need to stand in the background anymore. If needed they can stay at a hotel nearby," she says, turning back.

"Nonsense, we've got plenty of room and sofas to go around so don't worry about that."

As the five girls come closer you hear Dash whisper something and Pinkie giggling. Probably plotting something so you decide to be on guard with them around.

The trip to her parents house took another hour since it was a bit on the outskirts of the big city. It did however, turn out to be a pretty decent sized place. Not big enough to be a mansion of course, but enough room to host your group with a pair sharing each sleeping quarter. After having placed their luggage at their decided rooms, you had dinner with you, Velvet, Night and Twilight at the end with the rest holding a mild tone over the table. The thought of what would be going down ran through your head and you didn't really listen to what they really said.

"So, please tell me how you and Twilight first met." the father asked. "For some reason Twilight hasn't really mentioned it."

A look over at her reveals she's looking at her plate with a slight blush. "Well, she sees it as a little embarrassing. It started when I still was new to Equestria and I was reading up on some less common knowledge, we don't get more than basic info over in Europia. It was running late but Twilight let me stay a little longer and even joined me for a while. Of course the lights goes out and seeing how it was past closing time, she had closed the doors and put the key and couldn't find it in the dark. We continued reading nonetheless with a candlelight until she falls asleep in a book. She was wearing a thin shirt and skirt and there it was surprisingly cold so I found a blanket for her and wrapped her in it. The next morning I woke up with her cuddled up to me with an arm around me."

"That's a rather lovely story, why wouldn't you tell us sweetie?"

Twilight was rolling a pea around, not looking up. "Because… in reality, it wasn't really that romantic. I dropped a couple of books on his head when I was carrying a rather large stack, the ladder fell over and he caught me only to twist his ankle and me getting a bruise on my shoulder, I burned myself while lighting the candle and dripped wax in important books, not to speak of the fact that I woke up drooling on his arm. If it had been a planned date it would have been our last for sure." She pierced the small green vegetable.

"Either way it was how you met, no matter how bad you might see it as." Velvet put her hand on her daughter's shoulder. "You know how your father and I met so at least it wasn't that bad." Night suddenly coughed as if he'd swallowed something wrong.

"Let's not dwell in the past, it's your big event we're gathered for here, isn't it? Now I was wondering if you'd made any decisions regarding food..."

The rest of the feast went on with them asking both you and her about what you had planned so far and sometimes some of Twi's friends would say something if there was a part they were involved in. Pinkie barely managed to control her childish instincts which included shooting peas and carrot pieces around, tilting her chair as far back as she could before falling and not making too much of a mess in general. After the dinner you all start to get ready for a good night's sleep, well except you of course.

"I'm not sure if I can do this," you say standing in your boxers in yours and Twilight's room which was her old one. "I mean, they're your parents for Luna's sake. The thought alone just feels wrong to me."

"What, you stand here about to do it and you want to go back?" She looks at you in confusion before putting her arms around you, butting her head to your bare chest. "I know it seems weird for you but it's a tradition and you aren't the first one to do this." You just hold around her to give you a little comfort. "It's just a test, they have agreed to take it just as you did because both of you want what's best for us. I know you will make her moan in delight, you're going to ace the test and we'll be one step closer to getting married."

"I know, it's just… it's your mom. I can't help but find it wrong. Call it cultural difference but it just doesn't sit right with me."

"But you promised, you agreed to go with the tradition. You know it means a lot to me and I just want the best for us. No approval means bad marriage which means instant divorce."

"Can't we just go with our love for each other and forget any approval? I mean, I know you want to go by the book which I respect you full out on, I just- argh, I don't know."

"Listen here, I love you but I need the security that we will last so please, please, please, do this. I will let you do the most of the decisions for the wedding if you just do this for me."

"No need to give all that up, I just needed to know how much you needed me to do this." You take a deep breath in and let it out, similar to what she does when she's angry or stressed. "Okay, I'm ready now." You give her a last hug and a kiss before you head towards the door.

"Best of luck." You smile from the doorway.

"Thanks, I'll need it."

"And remember, if you back out of your promise now, I will never forgive you."

You walk down the corridor to the end where her parents bedroom is. There are a few rooms between theirs and the next guest room which you hope is enough to isolate the sounds. You knock on the door three times, somewhat shaking, before you hear Night's voice from inside.

"Come in." You do as he says and enter the room.

The room is dimly lit, the only light coming from the moon outside, shining through some thin curtains. Velvet stands beside the bed as he came in, wearing a grey night top and matching panties while Night stood in the middle of the room, still fully dressed.

"Why, aren't you forward?" she said smiling. "Coming in here in just your underwear." You feel like you've already screwed something up.

"I-I'm sorry, I just thought that-"

"It's okay," Night said. "As long as you didn't come in in only your birthday suit on. How are your nerves?"

"Still a bit shaky, it's gonna be my first time so...yeah, I'm pretty nervous." Night nodded approvingly.

"I bet Twilight said she wanted to wait until after the wedding, always wanting to do things the right way. It's not required for the bride to be a virgin but it is preferred, but enough about that. The test is simple, pleasure my wife until either she or you surrender. Even if you were to give in, you may still pass, it all comes down to how passionate and respectful you are to your partner. Manage to read body language and so on and so forth."

"And you will…?" You let it linger for a bit before Velvet answers.

"He will watch, he likes to watch others in the act. Can't say I don't find it arousing myself." Okay, maybe not quite as normal a couple as you first thought, but after years of being together they would have found something to spice the relationship a little.

"I hope you're okay with being a bit frisky," Velvet said. "It's just to see if you can be a bit flexible in bed and somewhat for my sake, too." You nod, not sure what to expect. "Good."

You get the feeling you just made a mistake seeing how she gives you a devious smile but before you can ask, her horn lights up with a pinkish glow. It illuminates the room a little, enough for you to notice the ropes suddenly snaking out from beneath the bed. Before you can do anything they tangle themselves around your feet, making you fall onto the floor. As soon as you land another pair ties around your wrists with magic in front of you. They snare tight enough so you can't get loose but loose enough so it didn't hurt too bad. You automaticly struggle to get free when you get a feminine foot placed in your chest. Following up the leg, you find Velvet standing over you with a black thong and a black leather bra.

End of Chapter 1
