Drabble Kaboom!

"Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust sharing a grandchild."

Thanksgiving was always awkward for Light Dust, which sucks because I'm Light Dust. And not just because our counterparts from beyond the magic mirror were surprised Thanksgiving was the one Equestrian holiday that wasn't called something different in their own world. Thought I did learn in history class that a band of nutters had once tried to destroy every trace of the holiday and erase it from everyone's mind because the founder of Equestria after fighting off the Windigoes had been desperate ponies and had done desperate things to survive.

For me, it was awkward because of her grandmothers.

My dad's grandmother had met my grandfather in prison. They were both disgraced outcasts, and their options were limited anyway. And both saw dad was their only chance for a future. They REALLY wanted dad to succeed where they failed, well, more like not burn down everything they made for themselves.

My mom's grandmother had it awkward, mostly because everyone kept thinking she was into fillies, BECAUSE OF HER MANE COLOR, ponies can be so shallow. So she had to turn down a lot of dates and colts thought she was stringing them along. She told me once she was considering saying yes to the next mare who asked because it was the closest thing she'd ever get anyway.

Thankfully for me, granddad asked her first. Problem was he was in the Wonderbolts too! So there as this whole drama about 'infatuation between the ranks.' They REALLY don't like talking about it.

Mom and dad met at Junior Speedsters Flight Camp. They had no clue who the other's parents were of course. Even after they became best friends they had no clue. Ponies are super duper trusting, sue us.

But that changed when they gained their cutie marks and actually started DATING.

Oh, forgot to mention, ... my mom's mom exposed dad's mom and dad on separate occasions. To say they hated her was an understatement.

And mom's mom didn't trust dad's parents as far as she could throw them.

Let me just put this part on fast forward, you've heard it before. Ahem.

Mom and dad eloped without any sort of plan. Got totally lost and ended up in the Everfree. Big hungry monsters corner them. All of my grand parents swoop in and save the day.

My grandparents STILL hate each other, but won't let that get in the way of my parents' happiness.

Oh, and me and some other friends of mine resurrected the Elements of Harmony and punched out this crazy old Alicorn who was super upset that nobody ever called her a princess and wanted to "steal all magic" (like, every other villain who ever lived), and we had to stop Queen Twilight Sparkle before she sealed all magic in the world because it was 'the only way.' (First time I've seen a mom lectured by her own foal).

But that's not what you're here for is it?

And that's where I'm stuck every year at Thanksgiving... my grandparents sitting on opposite sides of the table, death glaring at each other.

"Uh, pass the mashed potatoes?" And both my grandmas grabbed the bowl at the same time.

Everyone had already ducked and covered by the time they were punching each other through the walls (thank goodness cloud walls are super easy to repair).
