Short Stories of a Dad

It was a normal, peaceful friday morning. The birds were singing, Sarah was playing with her toys and I was reading the local papers.

Bluebood- Skipped

Weather is- Skipped

Discord has- Double Skipped. (The reason is once I read one of his titles on the paper and I got a pie in my face... It was lovely but still totally uncalled for)

Soon I heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it" I said as I got out of my rocking chair (Which is good as a cloud... What it Ponyville, the clouds are soft) and opened the door. It was Twilight.

"Hello Twilight" I happily said to her "What brings you here?"

"Hello George" Twilight answered with a smile "I came over to ask a favour"

"Of course what is it?"

'Well you see my brother-"

"Shining Armour"

"And my sister-in-law-"

'Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire"

"Is coming over and-"

"And you want me to hang out with your brother as you and Cadence go out on a girls night for some catching up" I finished all of her sentences. She looked at me all surprised.

"How didn't you know all of that?" She asked in awe.

'You're like a book, easy to read and beside you were shouting yes a lot yesterday" She blushed by this.

"You heard me shouting that huh?"

"We could hear you down the street from here"

"Anywhere! Can you do that?"

"Sure what time?"

"Oh about...NOW!" She then ran as fast as she could only laving a trail of dusts. I sighed, put my coat on, walked out of the door and shut it behind me.

"Some of these days" I mattered to myself "Some of these days."

***

We were at the train station and soon the train from the crystal empire arrived. Then Cadence and Shining Armour stepped out of the train.

"Cadence!" Twilight shouted in delight to see her sister-in-law as the two of them did...a ...dance?

"What was that?" I said out loud while they were laughing.

"It's their little dance they did when they were young" Shining Armour filled me with the knowledge on the dance.

"So this is their thing they do every time they meet each other?"

"Yep"

"Sisters from another mother" I stopped talking to realise what I just said.

"What's that?" Shining Armour asked

"Something I don't know" I answered.

After Twilight and Cadence's dance and my mind trying to gather what the hell came out of my mouth. The two mares came towards us.

"So I see you two are getting along OK?" Cadence said happily

"Great as a piece of cake" Shining Armour replied with a smile on his face. He sound like he hasn't drinking a lot and I'll fix that easily. "So George, what do you have in mind?"

"We're going to have a lads night"

"What's that?" He tilled his head. He has to stop saying that.

"I'll explain once we get to the local pub" I answered as we walked to where the nearest pub.

"Don't get in trouble you two!" Twilight yelled to us in the friendly way. Before her brother could say something I spoke first.

"It's a lads night... Can't keep any promises"

After saying my famous last words to them. Me and Shining Armour went off on our legendary quest of the lads night.

***

At local pub:

"So, what do you do in a 'lads night', is it like a manes night?"

"I'll pretend that I didn't hear the last part and just heard the first part. A lads night is were a group of men like you and me hang out and drink."

"Like guards in the barracks?"

"Do they drink?"

"A bit while playing cards"

'That's a poker night not a lads night-Oh my God you have much to learn"

The barpony came with our drinks (PS I've gave the barpony a little recipe from Britain to make great drinks, HA. I just realise what I just said to myself)

"What is this cider?"

"No Shining. This is a drink. This is ale"

"Never heard of them"

"That's because ale is from my world. I worked in one of ale company when I was getting used to living on my own after unite"

'Unite?"

"Just drink"

*Shining takes one sip*

"It tastes old"

"That's because you toke a sip and not a glug"

Four ales gone

"So what is your people's greatest achievement?"

"Having the largest empire in the world"

"Wow, is it like the Crystal Empire?"

"You mean one huge city up in the north?"

"Well, yeah"

"Nothing like that. Shining we used to own a quarter of our world and builded four major countries in the making"

'Wow, no lands has done anything like that before"

"That's because you don't have the English mind, the Scottish arm, the Irish quick thinking or the Walsh resources"

"What does those words means?"

"It means another round!"

Eight ales gone

"George my head is swimming"

'That means more"

Ten ales gone

"I don't...understand you George"

"And whyz... that Zhining?"

"You look like a big, old brute... But deep down.... your a kind, soft... man"

"O...Old?"

"Another round!"

"O...Old?!"

Last round so we headed home:

My swimming around in a poof. My swimming around in a poof. My swimming around in a poof, I tried to made a princess.

After me and Shining left the pub. I helped him get back to Twilight's castle. I'm a good friend so I got a paper and wrote 'he has no eyes' with a circle and a X together and knocked on the door... and run away back to my home laughing my head off for a while.

The only bad thing about getting into my home was that the keyhole wouldn't stay still. It just kept on move. What sort of dark magic was that?

But I managed to open the door, got inside and... Slept on my rocking chair. As good as a cloud.

As good as a-zzzzzzzz
