The Resistance

They walked into Marigold's house to find her mother working on a new dress. She looked up as the door shut behind them.

"Oh, hello, sweetie. How was the trip to the lake?" Rarity asked.

"It was good, mom. Where's dad?" Marigold replied.

"He's around somewhere. If you girls are hungry, there's some lasagna in the kitchen." Rarity said as she went back to working on her dress.

"Thanks mom." Marigold said as she made her way to the kitchen.

Marigold's dad was sitting at the table picking at a plate of lasagna. He was a couple years younger than her mother, but, they were happy with each other. He looked up as they all walked in. His green hair was a frizzled mess and his purple suit was a bit of a mess as well.

"Hello, sweetheart. How was the lake?" Spike asked.

"Good, dad." Marigold said as she walked over and gave her father a hug. He managed a weak smile.

"Everything alright, daddy?" Marigold asked.

"Fine. Just tired is all." He replied as he got up and made his way towards the stairs.

"You guys hungry?" Marigold asked.

They shook their heads. Marigold shrugged and got a plate. She led the girls upstairs to her room. Cherry flopped down on the bed as Wind went into the bathroom to change. She came back out wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a white T-shirt. Marigold had changed as well, she was wearing a purple satin night gown and hand brushed her hair back down. She still had her left eye covered though. Wind sat down on the end of the bed.

"What you got planned tonight?" She asked as she looked over at Marigold.

"Wcldtksabtbsnstf." Marigold said through a mouthful of lasagna.

She may have gotten her mother's looks, but, she got her father's manners.

"One more time. Only this time, swallow before you talk." Wind said.

"I said, we could talk about boys and stuff." Marigold replied.

"You know I don't like to talk about that stuff." Wind replied.

"Well, how about some scary movies?" Marigold asked.

"Woot! Scary movies!" Cherry yelled.

Marigold flicked on the TV and brought up Netflix. They watched movies and talked all night.
