"If you don't like chocolate you don't deserve to talk," Shure said, taking a spoonful of ice cream.
*Crunch*
"I like chocolate, I just like vanilla better," Astra responded before taking a lick from his cone.
*Crunch!!!*
"Could you stop?" Both Shure and Astra said, turning to Antithesis.
"What?" Antithesis said smiling.
"Who goes to an ice cream parlor and buys chips?" Astra asked, biting the edge of his cone.
"I'd be surprised if you could spell 'Ice cream parlor' " Antithesis laughed, "But lately my teeth hurt when I have something sweet."
"Cavity, maybe?" Shure offered, scraping his bowl with his magic.
"I hope not I have a dental appointment coming up so we'll see then." Antithesis answered slowly reaching into his chip bag.
"Don't sit on that too long the one time my dad had a cavity and let it go." he bit another piece of the cone. "He had to get a root canal."
"Root canal?" Antithesis questioned.
"It's an operation that makes you wish you still had the cavity." Shure answered, getting off his seat.
"Yeah, buck that" Astra said, then finishing his cone.
"Agreed" Antithesis nodded.
"We're back" Astra called as he opened the door. All three walked past the kitchen entrance not seeing anypony there or in the living room.
Trella just finished brushing her teeth, she hummed a tune as she ran her tongue over them. Walking out she was poking at her mane until she passed the stairs where she was startled by, "Hey T!"
"Baaah!!" she shouted, flying up and hitting the low ceiling. She began to fall and fast, luckily shure was fast enough to catch her in his magic.
"Nice catch" Astra complimented flying up next to her.
"Thanks but I don't know how much longer I can hold her." he strained.
Placing her on Antithesis' back, he carried her to her room. With Shure's help she was placed onto the bed, closing the door slowly as they left and waited down the stairs.
Waking up Trella rubbed her head saying, "Ouch". She stood up and stepped out her door, "Didn't I get up already?".
Going down the stairs she heard laughter coming from the living room, peeking in she saw the three colts messing around in the front room with Astra in the air and Shure teleporting from place to place as Antithesis tried to catch them. She rubbed her head again before stepping into the room.
Nopony noticed her until Shure teleported into her knocking them both down. Both went red as their noses touched but neither moved. "Well it's about time it happened." Astra said holding his forelegs in a T to call a timeout.
Antithesis laughed through his nose at the sight, prompting Shure to get off of her. Without a word he walked outside shutting the door behind him.
Antithesis face hoofed, "Trella are you gonna let him walk out like that?"
She was silent looking at her nose. Antithesis looked over at Astra who shrugged in response.
Shure walked back in after a minute, approaching Trella getting within a foot of her. Lighting his horn, he teleporting them upstairs.
“Shure what-” Trella was cut off by a sudden kiss from Shure. She fell silent and returned the short kiss.
Shure pulled away looking into her eyes, “Trella, will you go out with me?!”. She stood there, mouth opened in shock. “If you don't, I under-”. It was her turn she pulled him in for a kiss.
She pulled back with a smile saying “You're not getting out of this one”. Shure stared at her now wide eyed and speechless.
After a few minutes of talking they walked to the door Shure offered a hoof. Taking it Shure teleported them back downstairs. Seeing them hoof and hoof Astra passed Antithesis a few bits.
Trella gave them a look before saying "If you tell Maple I'll kick your ass".
"Not a word," Antithesis said, raising his hoof.
"Astra" Shure said, tilting his head.
"Ya ya, I won't say anything," he said crossing his forelegs.
"I'm back" they heard Maple say. Trella pulled her hoof away from Shure's. Astra landed while Antithesis fixed the couch.
Maple rounded the corner to see everypony sitting down. "Oh, everypony is here," she raised an eyebrow at the unusually quiet ponies. "Did something happen?" She asked, putting down her bag.
"Nope, " Shure said, getting up and then falling back into the couch.
"You ok?" Antithesis asked as Maple left the room.
"Yeah, just tired," he yawned. "Probably used too much magic when I was Teleporting".
Maple came back into the room to see Shure now curled up on the couch next to Trella.
She tilted her head "Was he asleep just before?"
Everypony shook their heads in response. "Oh sorry" she whispered as she walked back out.
Astra whistled in relief getting up to go outside with Antithesis following him. After they left Maple peaked her head in one more time. "Food will be ready" she trailed off. "Where did those two go."
Tell shrugged whispering "Dun know.". After maple exited Trella looked down at Shure, poking his nose his ear twitched. She giggled as she poked his nose again causing him to shift.
Shure woke to the smell of vegetables being fried. He cracked his neck and wiped his eyes, before getting off the couch he looked around seeing nopony.
Walking into the kitchen he found Maple at the stove and Astra with his chin on the counter. "How long was I out?" He asked to take a seat at the island.
"Bout an hour" Astra responded with his head still down.
"Where'd Thees go?" he asked, cracking his back with the chair.
"Taupe picked him up. Apparently his appointment was today" Astra responded, raising his head as Trella entered. "Gosh what takes so long in the bathroom."
Trella rolled her eyes as Astra flew passed. "Astra, you know my rules." Maple said feeling the breeze his wings caused. He landed immediately, while Shure and Trella laughed at him.
Trella rested her head on her hooves while she waited for the food to be ready. Shure found himself staring at the white pattern surrounding her forelegs.
"Acrux tells me that a while ago in his family there was a pegasus that was such a gifted flyer the moon shared some of its light with them and its been passed on eversince." Maple said, as she passed two plates, surprising Shure.
"Yeah apparently my grandpa had the pattern last but his was different." Trella said practically drooling over her food.
"That's pretty cool, my family doesn't have anything that special,” Shure said, picking up his utensils with magic. "Well, Meana maybe she has the white nose"
"My dad says only the most talented flyers in our family get the white pattern, which doesn't make sense since T has them." Astra said, fixing his mane as he entered the room.
"You haven't beaten me in a race yet" she snapped back.
"Whatever." he sat on the other side of Shure “Next time we race I'll beat you". He proceeded to stuff his mouth with vegetables.
The waiting room was cool and fairly quiet, only Antithesis, Taupe, some stallion and his filly. He waited for a few minutes before sompony called his name, he stood up and was greeted by a salmon colored mare.
"How are you today?" she asked taking him to an examination chair.
"Alright" he replied "You?"
"I'm good," she smiled. "Alright take a seat I'll be right back in a second."
Antithesis reclined on the chair waiting on the nurses return. She came back with a small paper package in hoof. Ripping one end he spilled the contents onto the side table revealing a mirror, some swabs and a curette.
"Alrighty, open wide for me." she said grabbing the mirror. Poking around with the curette she said, "Let's start with the molars". After she worked her way forward she asked do you brush regularly.
"Yea" he responded as best he could with his mouth opened.
She poked at his gums, "Good, what about flossing?"
"oh" he answered.
"You can't skip that, it's important," she said wiping off her tools. "ok next the..'' she turned her head looking at his teeth.
She got up and walked away to the back office, coming back with a white stallion. "What did you need to show me?" he said sitting next to Antithesis. "Hey there could you open up for me."
Antithesis did as he was asked, opening his mouth the doctor looked around "Well everything seems to be in order here what am I looking at?" he began scraping at the front of Antithesis' teeth. "Say you don't chew on anything you're not supposed to right pencils, pen caps anything like that?"
"No" Antithesis replied as the doc pulled his hooves from his mouth.
"hmmm" the doctor hummed "Can you go get your parents for me?"
Antithesis shook his head yes, walking out to the waiting room he called for Taupe. Walking back with him the nurse approached, "My that was quick" Taupe smiled.
"Well we're not done yet but we had a question." the nurse said with a nervous smile.
"Ask away," Taupe replied.
The doctor walked up next to the nurse saying, "It's his teeth, have they always been like that?"
"What do you mean?" she said turning to Antithesis. he opened his mouth to reveal four sharp canines and two less sharp surrounding all four.
"Oh. I don't recall ever seeing those" she answered moving her son's head. "Why didn't you say your teeth were like this?."
He shrugged saying, "It started a few months ago."
"Now they don't seem to be causing any damage and the roots are strong so there is no need to remove them, though we could grind them down if you'd like." the doctor offered. Antithesis shook his head while stepping back. "Well other than that he's good to go, although I would go show other those chompers."
