“Steamed milk… somehow… some way… you made fucking steamed milk! And that's not even how you properly make it!” Arkantos snarked from one side of her home, the two having taken different bathrooms to wash.

Now, the shouting match was far from angry. Twilight was bawling her eyes out in laughter; she dumped an entire pitcher of milk on him!

“You covered me in mashed potatoes and gravy, how do you think I feel?” Twilight shouted back.

“I was trying to be a bi-” Arkantos was cut off by a loud thud, as a bottle of soap was teleported and thrown against the wall of his shower.

“What friendly? How is it friendly to throw food at somepony?” Twilight growled, running her fingers through her mane.

“It’s called a food fight!” Arkantos groaned, shaking his head. She had instigated it further when she dumped the ketchup on him.

“Right… that’s something foals do, and they get in trouble for it!” Twilight scolded, she really wanted to be in the same room as him so she could give him a good slap for the mess he made.

“I said I’d clean it up!” Arkantos retorted, throwing his hands up in exasperation before remembering she wasn’t in the shower with him.

“You’re damn right you will!” Twilight agreed, crossing her arms and huffing.

“Now I’m thinking about just leaving it! What are you gonna do huh?” Now he threw a bottle out into the hallway, causing it to splatter and make an even bigger mess.

“I’ll come in there right now and drag you out of the shower if I have to!” She stomped her foot, nearly ready to burst out of the shower and strangle him.

“Come and try!” He challenged grinning madly.

“You’d like it if I tried!” Twilight now grinned too, she reached down and slowly turned off her shower.

“I’d love to see you try!” He laughed loudly, likewise finishing up his shower.

By now both of them were just laughing, neither really angry anymore.

“You’re so immature.” Twilight chuckled, shaking her head as she wrapped a towel around herself.

“Says the one who decided to bring liquids into the fight.” Arkantos laughed, both of them getting out of their respective showers. “Now I’m gonna have to be wrapped in a towel…”

“Rarity gave me some more clothes for you, they’re in the guest room.” Twilight said as she stepped into her room. “Maybe us eating alone isn’t the best idea…”

“Maybe we should go out and… I don’t know, perhaps do some stargazing?” Arkantos suggested.

“That’d be nice… hopefully Dash doesn’t ruin it like she usually does. She and Pinkie love to prank others.” Twilight nodded.

“And what would Dash do?” Arkantos inquired as he entered the guest bedroom.

“She’d create a storm over us just to get us soaked.”

“So? You do remember I can do the same thing to her.” He laughed a little more, “Like… it's not that hard to ball up a liquid… li did it with the gravy.”

“It’d have been tastier if it didn’t end up soaking my shirt.” She giggled, nodding vigorously as she momentarily thought back to when the ball of gravy hit her in the face. She had followed it up with a bowl of green beans, which all were squashed into Ark’s face and hair.

The two shared another chuckle before they both met back outside their bedrooms.

“It’s been too long since I’ve had that much fun at a dinner…” Arkantos grinned widely.

“Me too…” Twilight nodded, the two walking downstairs nearly hand in hand.

They looked over the massive mess they made.

For a moment their smiles faltered. “Huh.” Ark muttered, chewing on his lip.

“You know, if anypony else had caused this I’d genuinely be angry.” Twilight assured. “But… I’ll let it slide, as long as you don’t abandon me tonight.”

“Abandon you for who?” He inquired, now grabbing her hand. Twilight immediately blushed, her eyes locking with his. “Twilight, let’s clean this up together, and then go watch the stars.”

“Alright.” Her smile doubled in size, and her horn quickly lit up. The entire room was cleaned in mere seconds, though she felt a dizziness overcome her.

Acting on pure instinct Arkantos swept her up, making sure she wouldn’t fall flat on her face.

“Oooor not… if you’re gonna pass out on me.” He smiled softly as he held her close.

Twilight rested her head against his chest. “Would it be bad to say, anything with you right now would be good?” She glanced up, scanning his face for any hint of anything bad. She didn’t know what to look for, and all she was met with was a warm smile.

“No… no it isn't.”

It was in that moment that they were interrupted.

Shining Armor and Cadance had decided to come spend some more time with the two after the married couple had eaten.

Arkantos was startled as the door opened and he dropped Twilight.

She screamed and narrowly caught herself before she hit the ground.

Shining now booted the door open, only to see a flustered Arkantos followed by a very very angry glare from Twilight. “What the hell?!?!”

Shining threw his hands up, “Sorry! We jus-”

“I’m sorry if we interrupted something, Twilight.” Cadance apologized as she stepped in. “We both wanted to spend a bit more time with you before we returned to the Crystal Empire.”

“That’s great!” Twilight nodded as a smile drew across her face. “You know, maybe with you both here…”

“Why were you in his arms… and why are you both wet?” Shining questioned.

“We both took a shower.” Twilight said dryly. “What are you trying to get at?”

“Just…”

“It was my fault… I sort of threw mashed potatoes at her. Everything got out of hand from there.” Arkantos shot Twilight a grin and she giggled. “A lot of things went flying… we were both incredibly dirty afterwards.”

Shining raised an eyebrow, “W… what?”

“A… food fight? Involving you.” Cadance began to laugh loudly. “Oh my sweet Celestia…”

“Hmph… It isn’t that funny.” Twilight pouted.

“You’re right… it’s downright adorable.” Cadance grinned widely, tugging Shining away from Twilight. “Why don’t we all sit down?”

“That’d be great!” Twilight nodded vigorously, grabbing Ark’s hand and tugging him to the couch. “What better time with to introduce him to some movies then with you two here?”

“Sure! What shoul-” Both Cadance and Twilight smiled widely, “Why not something scary?”

“Yes! Perfect! We have two big, strong stallions here to protect us…” Twilight nuzzled Arkantos. He finally wrapped his arm around her, eliciting a squee as the happy unicorn snuggled against him. “Mmmm…”

Shining seemed hesitant to let Arkantos hold his sister, but Cadance gave him no room to move as she’d moved into his lap and was lovingly nuzzle him.

“Alright, what movie should we watch?” Cadance asked, glancing over to Twilight.

“Hmm… Why don’t we watch Alien? I’ve never seen it and right now…” Twilight pressed in closer to Arkantos and smiled widely, “I feel like I could handle anything.” She looked up at him, “As long as you don’t leave me alone…”

“I’d have to be insane to leave you.” Ark said with a chuckle as he looked down at her and smiled.

“You and I are really gonna love each other…” Twilight sighed resting her head against his chest.

“I already do.”
