Author's Note

YAY! A new chapter!

The peculiarity of strangeness

When Twilight Sparkle thought back, she miscalculated every prospect and hazard of any married couple and how contendendly both sides lived with each other. Like for example.... Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who were diligent enough in their attitude, but courageous enough to let Pinkie take a duty of babysitting their foals during bakehouse job. Pound and Pumpkin were always ready to poke fun.

This collaboration was beautiful and decent in its own twisted way.

The same "twisted" way as her life. At first she never thought about her family quest or about creating family at all. There were always other things waiting for her, like hundreds of Friendship quests with her closest friends or approximately that quantity.

...but then, Alicornhood, Storm King and Royal Sisters' retirement happened like a bolt out of the blue sky. Out of nowhere.

...and... now this...

"...Twilight..."

THIS!

"...Twilight?..."

WAS SHE THAT LUCKY!?

"TWILIGHT!"

A dim voice extremely raised like frequency of wild dolphins, chucking-out and silencing the remnants of purple alicorn's thoughts. Twilight eardrums hurt a lot and steamed from not bargained for confusion.

The new Equestrian princess finally snapped her eyes open and saw how the land lies. She noticed being next to her student's house.

Sky Beak riveted the eyes on her subtle stare. He passed mid-step just to be sure she feels okay. Anyways, Twilight gave no sign of being sick or something.

"You were daydreaming again?"

"What is your problem, pal?" she replied to his interrogation, as if it was an shallow insult thrown at her direction.

They both plodded through their backyard and stopped meters from the entrance door's handle. The alicorn surveyed the round shiny object with both her eyes.

The yellow knob presented itself in a very distinguished fashion. In a shape of a seapony waddling across the ocean.

How is it possible she didn't spot that.

Her fiance gingerly caught the knob in his grip in front of her eyesight. The purple mare quickly retreated in hope of not being hit by the door sill.

"WOAH!"

Twilight explained that she was only here for research, though... she wasn't entirely sure about it herself, nor somehow willing to leave this place.

The blue hippogriff went out of the way and holding the door, pointed in. "Mares first..."

His girlfriend rolled her eyes in amusement.

"Do you always have to be so mellow, do you?"

"Yes," Silverstream's dad countered. "I have to."

The new Equestrian leader shrugged on response, her look seemed smug and gladdened from that. She strolled inside, tapping her hooves and proudly murmured and stopped by Silverstream's room. The door was enlarged like the other doors in the house, due to hippogriffs getting really taller with age in a comparison to ponies.

She was sure she heard her step daughter chirping lots of conversation with somepony.

Maybe not only somePONY, but also someGRIFF else.

Twilight recognized the snarky voice rubbing shoulders with other unruffled one almost immediately. The princess prefered to wait, as Sky Beak arrived to the bathroom.

One minute later, the conversation ceased. The next seconds later, door creaked loud, startling Twilight to the point of clenching her jaw.

It sounded like rubbing claws on a blackboard.

"Dang it, Silverstream... How do you open these without this sound of hovering hyenas!?" the blue griffon growled. "We can become deaf from these annoying yells!"

"Greetings, my fellow former students."

Both Gallus and Sandbar stiffened up at the familiar tone and looked back at its' direction. Their pupils spiralled for not recognizing their bizarre looks.

"Uh, hi, Headmare Twilight!" the green earth pony put in. "H-HOW are you?"

"I dunno, how are YOU?"

The blue griffon and green pony both awkwardly chuckled. "Good, good. Awesome. We brought you something for hay burgers, ma'am." Gallus raised a weird cardboard package. "We thought you were absent, so we were about to go and try it ourselv-."

"HAY BURGERS!? I'M STARVING!"

The purple mare in the blink of an eye snatched the cardboard box from her former pupil's claws and zipped with opening it like in an eating competition, but to no avail. Gallus and Sandbar raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances with each other at this chucklesome sight.

"Well, uh... Headmare Twi-..."

"SILENCE YOU TWO! LET ME OPEN IT!"

Twilight Sparkle used her magic aura on the package and bit outer lids with her teeth, but still with no result. She tried this for several elongated minutes. Silverstream left her room and spotted this phenomenon. The pink hippogriff happily clapped her hands in the tune, unaware in her nature of what is going on.

Not only her, but even Sky Beak himself, who disoriented stared on the deeds of his beloved, just thinking what kind of animal she pretends to be. It looked like the kids and her played charades.

"Oh, I know!" the adult hippogriff began guessing. "It is an female Ursa specimen, who hunted some animal and goes home to give it for her offspring!"

The cardboard was still not tampered in any way.

The Friendship Princess was definitely confused by that. "What is the meaning of this? WHERE ARE MY HAYBURGERS!?"

The blue griffon coughed with such a tone, that it would make him look like an professional.

"Well, you see Headmare Twilight... The product in itself is not a hay burger... Alloweth me showeth thee and demostrate, prithee!"

"FINE!" the female alicorn gave up. "I'm not in the mood for this..."

"Let me demonstrate, your majesty..."

Princess Twilight with her magic aura, placed the thingy back on her former student's claws. Gallus smirked, trailing his fingers across the surface of cardboard structure. Then, he opened the package without a struggle. With some loud snaps of bubble wrap inside the box, he took out some interesting machine.

Silverstream and her father stared at the thingy with extended admiration, as their beak jaws slowly dropped.

"The best invetion, hooves down!" Sandbar presented with a gleeful smile. "HAY B Maker 2! Affords to make multitudes of sandwiches at once!"
