"Ooh, I'm so excited Glace, our little girls are going to be graduating today!" Candy Pop exclaimed.

"I know, but they aren't so little anymore." Glace sighed

"I know, but just seeing them grow up and now graduate high school like we did, is amazing." Candy Pop put a hoof around her partner in life.

"We did a great job, Candy." Glace said, and leaned in to kiss Candy.

"Mooom, Daaaad stop it." Emerald said, annoyed at her parents affection at each other. Candy and Glace just giggled.

The ceremony began, and the whole family saw Taika and Kiasu walk up the podium.

"I remember when those two were my little muffins, Taika was always so energetic and loved to play. And Kiasu was a bookworm, she always tried to do her best." Glace sighed and then smiled.

"Remember the pie incident?" Candy asked, and looked at Glace with a smirk

"Oh, how can I forget the pie incident? Taika thought she could get a job working at Sugarcube Corner, because Kiasu had a job at the library." Glace replied

"And then she messed up a pie and it exploded." Candy added and she and Glace both started laughing quietly.

"But when your mom died, Kiasu was devastated. She loved learning about Mexicolt cultures and traditions. She felt so happy. But when your mom died no book in Equestria could help her." Glace went on, a look of sadness appearing on his face.

"Yeah, she had to cope with it. But eventually, she managed to move on." Candy replied.

"There was also the time when Taika was hurt bad," Glace remembered "We thought she would never walk normally again, let alone run."

"But she was lucky, that wasn't the case," Candy added "And she can still do the stuff she loves." And she and Glace both sighed.

"It was fun raising Taika and Kiasu, but it's time for them to be set free and move on." Glace said

"Ooh! I hope they'll visit us from time to time!" Candy said hopefully.

"They will Candy, they will." Glace said, as he wing hugged Candy.
