Chapter 3: Rough Morning
That night at dinner, things went even worse then earlier that day. Blaze complained about being embarrassed the whole time over dinner. Twilight finally blew her fuse and stood up and screamed at the top of her lungs. Blaze ran off angrily toward her room while Nightshade just shrunk in his seat after hearing his mother scream. Tears even started to form in his eyes. Twilight saw this and then felt horrible. She sat back down and rubbed her head with her hooves. "I'm sorry Nightshade, I screamed and I shouldn't have regardless of how I feel or what is going on." Twilight took in a deep breath and then smiled at her son. "Finish up and then go to bed ok." Nightshade nodded as Twilight stood up and went to the other room and sat down on the couch.
Twilight had waited up until eleven when her husband came walking in. She quickly stood up and put the book she had been reading down. "How was your day dear?" Twilight asked exhausted from her day.
Radiant smiled and then shook his head. "It appears that my day went better then yours dear." Radiant led Twilight over to the couch and sat down with her. "So what did our daughter do today?"
Twilight put her head on her hooves and sighed. "She was going to take her friends into the Everfree Forest. It's only gotten more dangerous since I was single. I just don't know what to do with her." Twilight looked to her husband with tired eyes.
"I suppose it's safe to say that you haven't told them yet?" Twilight shook her head. "I wish I could say that I know but I don't. I don't work tomorrow since the princess knows about everything going on. We'll wake up and tell the kids in the morning. After that, I'll deal with our daughters' wrath and you go and have a day for yourself. If you can, get your old friends together but go do something for fun. Make a day out of it and don't worry about anything. Can you do that for me?" Radiant asked wrapping his hoof around Twilight.
Twilight leaned into her husband and gave a tired smile. "Yeah, I can do that." She rubbed her head against Radiants' neck lovingly.
Radiant smiled and then slowly stood up off the couch. "Let's go to bed Twilight, I'm sure you're exhausted." Twilight then stared at her husband. The look she gave him just screamed sarcasm, 'Me tired, no I'm fine.' "Ok Twilight, be sarcastic through those looks of yours." Radiant smiled and then the two headed off to bed.
That morning, Twilight and Radiant brought their children into the living room. "Blaze, Nightshade, we need to talk." Blaze just grumbled while nightshade listened intently. "First thing we need to talk about is what's going to be happening in the next week." Radiant stared at Blaze.
"Why are you staring at me, I didn't do a thing?" Blaze said turning her head away.
"Yes you have but that is a topic for later. As of right now we have two things to say and this first thing will upset you." Blaze assumed that she is in trouble for something. "We're moving. I don't want to hear anything about this until I'm done speaking." Blaze shut her mouth and let her father continue. "The other thing that should make you both happy is that your mother is pregnant."
Blaze at that point rose her voice, almost screaming. "Are you two nuts, mom is too old to even think about having more foals." At that point Radiant spoke up in defense of his wife.
"How dare you speak like that, we know the limits. You will apologize to your mother and or go to your room." Radiant stood up standing three feet above his daughter, his voice calm and quiet but angry. Blaze immediately took off for her room. This whole argument has made Nightshade a bit uncomfortable. Radiant sat back down, his temper cooled. The door to Blazes room slammed shut. "Go have your day dear, I'll take care of everything here." Radiant gave Twilight a quick comforting hug letting some of her tears land on him. Soon Twilight wiped her tears away and smiled.
"Thanks love." Twilight gave her husband a quick kiss and then left after grabbing her saddle bag.
After Twilight left, Radiant stood up and went over to his son. "I'll get you some boxes to pack your things in but while I work on that, could you go and ask some of our friends around town to help out with packing things." Nightshade nodded and then ran off. Once Nightshade was gone, Radiant went to his daughters' room and pounded on the door. Blaze opened it up angrily. "You have the right to be upset about the move but you will not talk to your mother and I that way."
"Whatever, I have a party to get to." Blaze said trying to close the door but her father stopped her.
"I know all about said party and you're not going anymore, not after the way you spoke this morning." Radiant said unflinching.
"That's not fair; all my friends are expecting me today." Blaze stomped a foot down.
"Next time you have plans for something; make sure that you watch yourself. As of right now, you're grounded and you're going to help us pack whether you want to or not. The grounding goes further then that Blaze, after what I heard you tried to do yesterday. Until we're moved into our new home and completely unpacked, there will be no anything for you. You'll help around the house and go to school which you'll be doing once we're moved." Radiant stood up tall staring at Blaze which pierced her chest like knives. Radiant however is able to stay calm while speaking to her.
"I hate my life." Blaze said and shut the door.
"I'll bring you some boxes to pack your things." Radiant knowing his daughter went around to the outside and put up some bars on the windows and finished just in time for Blaze to open her window. "Oh no, you don't get to go anywhere."
"I'm not a prisoner; you can't make me stay here." Blaze complained.
"While you're grounded you are and we need your help and don't bother to go out the back, as of now, it won't open." Radiant then left after finishing off the window but heard Blaze as he is leaving. He ignored it.
"I hate you!" Blaze screamed from her window.
