Parental Anger

Once Twilight headed back home Celestia and Luna headed into the throne room. Luna could see a bit of sadness in her sister's eyes and was concerned. She asked, "Big sister, are thou already sad over Twilight's departure?"

Celestia replied, "Yes, I am. You have no idea how close Twilight and I truly are. I know you can see that we are close and can feel the energy from us but you still don't truly understand the love we have for one another. You have no clue how it is to desire to be with somepony so badly that you feel empty without her."

Luna rolled her eyes and asked, "Big sister, will thou be ok? We know thou is sad but thou hast to maintain thy composure as we need to get some sleep."

Celestia replied, "Yes little sister, I can stay composed."

While Luna was headed to bed the atmosphere in one of the houses in Canterlot, the Sparkle Family's house, was not very pleasant. After seeing Celestia kissing their daughter both parents were angry. Twilight Velvet, her mother, was pacing back and forth angrily in their kitchen and shouted, "I can't believe it. I can't bucking believe it. I never imagined Celestia would take advantage of our daughter."

Crescent Sparkle*, her father, stomped his hoof into the floor and added, "I know. We put all our trust into her for so many years and now that our Twily is a princess all of a sudden she thinks she can seduce her into a relationship? She thinks just because she is no longer her student that she is just a piece of meat?"

Velvet** suggested, "Perhaps we should go see Twilight and ask her what this is all about."

Crescent replied, "No, I think we should let Twilight spend some time with her friends and calm down after this. I think we should go and pay Celestia a visit. I want to get answers out of her."

Velvet agreed and they headed to the palace. They arrived at the main entrance and were confronted by two guardsponies. Both of them knew who they were so they happily led them to the throne room. While Celestia was sitting on her throne longing for Twilight, her thoughts were interrupted. "Your Majesty, you have a couple of guests."

Celestia looked up to see Twilight's parents at the far end of the throne room. She motioned for them to come up to her and cheerfully asked, "Velvet, Crescent, how are you two doing today?"

The two headed up to the front of the throne room with scowls on there faces. Velvet asked, "Don't give us that cheerful welcome princess. We know what you are doing with our daughter. Why were you kissing her before she headed back to Ponyville?"

Celestia had a nervous look on her face and asked, "You saw us kissing?"

Velvet replied, "Yes your Majesty, we saw you kissing our daughter. We want to know why you were kissing her."

Celestia was so nervous that she did something that she has only done once before in her life, she began to stutter. "We-well you see, Twilight an-and I are in love."

This brought out suspicions in both parents. They began to wonder if perhaps this relationship dated back to before Twilight was a princess, back when she was Celestia's student. Velvet demanded, "So princess, how long has this been going on? Have you two been in love since before she became a princess?" She raised her voice and continued, "Was this going on before she matured?"

Crescent added, "If this was going on before she was crowned and especially if it started before she matured, we will expose you and all of Equestria will see you as a seductress."

Celestia began to cry loudly which quickly woke Luna up. She rushed into the throne room and before she saw Twilight's parents she asked "Big sister, are thou ok? Why are thou crying?"

Velvet, who seemed to have taken control of the conversation said, "Oh I see it is Princess Luna, the pony who has probably been hiding all of this."

Luna gave Velvet a glare and asked, "What dost thou think we have been hiding?" She then realized that it was them who made her sister cry. She raised her voice and continued, "Why are thou making our sister cry?"

Crescent snapped, "Don't play stupid with us your Majesty. You know of your precious sister's so-called relationship with our daughter. How long has it been going on? Since she was crowned a princess, since she matured, since she was a filly?"

Velvet demanded, "Tell us princess or we'll expose both of you!"

Luna's eyes began to glow white and using the loudest form of the Royal Canterlot Voice she shouted, "It is not wise to threaten us using wild accusations and blackmail. Unless thou wishes to be banished to the sun thou shall recant thy threat."

Celestia shouted, "Little sister, STOP IT!" She lowered her voice and continued, "Luna, I know you are trying to protect me but we can't go threatening Twilight's parents with banishment."

This caused Twilight's parents to only become more suspicious. Velvet asked, "So princess, if it were not for you wanting to get our daughter in bed would you prevent Luna from banishing us?"

Crescent added, "I can see straight through you CELESTIA, you don't want us harmed so Twilight will want to marry you someday."

Celestia said, "Well Crescent, Twilight does want to marry me some day just as I want to marry her someday. We had a long talk yesterday and we discovered how truly deep our love is for one another."

Velvet snapped, "Come on Crescent, we're going to Ponyville and talking to Twilight about this." She glared at Celestia and continued, "I just hope you haven't brainwashed her into subservience to you so we can't get the truth out of her."

The two stormed out of the throne room and headed to the train station. While both parents were so angry they could spit nails they knew that they would need to be calm and collected when they got to Ponyville, which would be easier for one than the other. The trip to Ponyville took a little over thirty minutes and as soon as they arrived they rushed over to the library, hoping to find Twilight. When they knocked on the door though, they got no answer. Velvet began banging on the door and shouted, "I know you're in there Twilight. I want to know about you and Celestia."

Spike was rushing back to the library when he found the angry parents pounding on the door. He smiled and said, "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle, I take it you're looking for Twilight?"

Crescent who was calmer than his wife replied, "Yes, we are. Do you know where she is?"

Spike replied, "Yeah, she's over at Sugarcube Corner."

Velvet sighed, "Oh and where is this place? Could you lead us there? We need to speak to our daughter."

Spike happily replied, "Yes ma'am!"

While they followed the dragon to the sweets shop Velvet had suspicions that he was firmly under Celestia's control but did not say anything. When they got there Pinkie was the first to greet them. She remembered them from Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding. She asked, "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle, can I get you anything sweet to eat?"

Crescent replied, "Yeah......." Velvet interrupted, "No, we need to speak to our daughter."

Twilight heard them and rushed to them, "Mom, dad! It is so good to see you!"

Velvet snapped, "To the library Twilight. Your father and I need to speak to you, NOW!"

Twilight was irritated that her parents would approach her like that, especially around her friends. Once they got to the library Velvet asked, "So Twilight, what was that kiss with Celestia all about?"

Twilight asked, "Wait a minute, you saw Celestia and I kissing?"

Crescent replied, "Yes, we saw you kissing. We are concerned that she is seducing you."

Velvet added, "Look Twilight, it is just flat out wrong for you to be kissing Celestia, the pony who was your mentor and teacher for so long." She sighed and continued, "Not to mention she basically raised you after you got into her school. She was basically like a second mom to you."

Twilight snapped, "Look mom, I have loved Celestia for a very long time and you know what? We opened up to one another and while both of us have had feelings for the other for years, she never acted on her feelings because she knew it was wrong." She stomped her hoof on the floor and continued, "You have no idea how much I wish we could have been marefriends long before just yesterday."

Crescent asked, "Did you have these feelings before you came to Ponyville?"

Twilight began to cry, "Yes dad, even before I came to Ponyville. She wanted me to make friends when she sent me here to prepare for the summer sun celebration, which I did. Yes my friends and I became close but the reason I stayed was because I thought it was what Celestia truly wanted for me."

Velvet sneered, "So Twilight, you found Celestia attractive before you even came to Ponyville? Do you know how wrong that is?"

Before Twilight could say anything, Crescent, who had quickly become more understanding interrupted, "Velvet, how is it wrong that our daughter developed feelings for Celestia once she came of age?"

Velvet replied, "Look, I just think that is wrong. Celestia was basically a second mother for her......"

Before she could finish her sentence Twilight interrupted, "Look mom, I can see why you are upset but you know what, basically from the first day I became attracted to her, I've wished we could share the same bed, cuddle and kiss every single day."

Both parents' jaws dropped open. While Crescent was shocked, Velvet was mortified. She gasped, "You what?"

Twilight replied, "You heard me, so if you have any problems with this yell at ME! Don't you dare go yell at Celestia, she never did anything wrong."

Crescent said, "Well, we already went and voiced her concerns to her."

Twilight could pick up from them that they went and yelled at her. She kicked a hole in the wall and yelled, "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK LIKE THIS!" She pointed her hoof at the door and continued, "Just go home. I don't even want to look at you right now."

They headed towards the train station and headed home. Crescent was beginning to feel really bad about them confronting Celestia before talking to Twilight but Velvet was madder than ever. She realized that what Twilight was saying was probably the truth but she just couldn't bring herself to accept Twilight's relationship with Celestia as she felt it was just flat out wrong. Back in the library Twilight was sitting on her bed crying. She was angry that they confronted Celestia over this before coming to her. She felt betrayed and realized that she could not trust them anymore. She began to worry that they, especially her mom, would try to sabotage her relationship with Celestia.

Author's Note

* While Twilight's father has no official name, the two most commonly used names are Night Light and Crescent Sparkle. I chose to use Crescent Sparkle because I feel it fits in far better with it being the Sparkle Family.

** Given that Twilight's mom's name is Twilight Velvet, I figured that simply using the name Velvet for when she speaks would be easier and make things flow more easily than using her first name, especially when her and Twilight Sparkle speak to one another.
