*nose twitch* *Sniff x2*

Yawning Maple pulled herself from under Acrux's foreleg, *higew* she stretched after hopping off her bed. Fixing her mane she looked back at her husband, "Wait a minute who's cooking?". Following the smell downstairs, getting to the landing she peaked around the corner seeing Trella and Shure chatting while Antithesis was manning the stove.

"So, do you think he's gonna show up?" Trella asked raising a hoof to Antithesis.

"No.... way" Antithesis flipped a pancake in the pan, "I told him to come over but, you know him".

"You're probably right, he's gonna be upset when he remembers to come." Shure said pouring Him and Trella a second glass of juice with his magic.

"His loss," Trella said as Antithesis reached for three plates and distributed the pancakes. "I'll take whatever he doesn't eat"

"Of course you do" Shure said, causing Trella to turn to him obviously upset. "I mean.. uhh.. you look great for how much you- eat?"

"Hmm, I know I do," she sassed, her face lighting up as Antithesis slid them a plate of pancakes. Taking a bite she practically melted, "I don't know how you managed to make it just like mom’s."

"Hmm, it's like I followed the recipe" Antithesis joked, "But I did put something in the center". He smiled as he sat waiting for them to get to the middle of their breakfast.

*Gasp* "Oh my gosh is it chocolate?!" Trella said as she began to devour the rest of her plate.

"I'm not convinced," Antithesis said biting into his own pancakes "What do you see in this wild animal?"

Trella paid the comment no mind, "I think it's rather cute, '' Shure said, cutting his pancakes up before applying some syrup. "You want some?", he waved the bottle in front of Trella.

"Hmhm" she responded swallowing what was in her maw. "Yes, please", she reached out like a baby. Antithesis watched as Shure slowly poured it on what was left of her food. "Thank you she leaned over pecking his cheek", making him blush like a school filly.

"What did I just see?" Maple whispered to herself, shaking her head, and looking again. (That's right BUSTED) Maple went to step forward but as she did some reckless pony came flying through the door.

"Oh, sorry Maple, excuse me" Astra flew past her and into the kitchen "Am I too late?" He was breathing heavily, exhausted from the flight.

"You're lucky I was about give your's to the better Remex." Antithesis said pointing to a plate on the counter with aluminum foil over it.

"Oh" Astra sighed, "Thank Faust, I made it". He trotted over retrieving his food and taking a seat beside Antithesis, "By the way why is maple just standing in the hall?"

Trella stopped eating while Sh I want Berry call meure choked honest food, "Ahem," Maple sounded entering the kitchen making Trella sit up straight.

"Hi uh.. morning mom" Trella smiled nervously, "How long... were you standing there?" she began to sweat nervously.

Maple walked to the ice chest taking out an apple, biting it she said "Long enough." she took a second to chew, "Antithesis, Astra, Shure would you mind stepping outside for a second?". They left immediately, well except for Astra who turned around grabbing another pancake before exiting.

"Mom, look I know how... this might look but I swear we-"

"No, no, no. No excuses alright," Maple took a seat directly across from Trella. "Now I know what you're going through ok I was young once too."

"But mom" Trella interrupted"

"B-b-b-b-but nothing I'm going to speak, and I want you to listen." Maple said as Trella's face became saddened almost teary. "You know what I said about you dating, and all I have to say is I-"

"Mom, I like him ok! Like really like him and it doesn't matter what you're gonna say it won't stop me from seeing him." Trealla stood up as a tear and ran down her face.

"I get that but let me fin-"

"No, I don't want to hear it if you're going to tell me otherwise." Trella protested now hovering above her seat.

Maple stood up going around the island, She sighed before using teleus to pull her daughter into a hug surprising her. "I was going to say I approve" Maple nuzzled her daughter's mane calming her down.

"Y-you do?" Trella said pulling away and staring at her mother with a confused look, Maple nodded before slowly returning to the hug. Still dumb founded Trella said, "But I thought you'd be be upset?".

Softly giggling Maple replied, "I said so you wouldn't go around like some skoozy with a colt you barely know" she rolled her head saying "But... if it's Shure I don't have a problem with it," Maple smiled releasing her embrace.

(outside)

"Fuck! Maple wasn't supposed to find out," Shure said pacing, before walking up to Astra "Why didn't you say she was there earlier?"

"First off I was late, Second it's Maple house, I only said something cause she didn't move from where she was." Astra defended as he began floating, "Why didn't you think that, Oh... I don't know maybe you shouldn't be lovey dovey in the one person's house you don't want to get caught by!?"

"He's got a point" Antithesis added.

"I-I *sigh*" Shure lowered his head, "I just hope maple doesn't over react".

Antithesis ears perked up hearing Trella get progressively louder, "Shhh, listen". The three ponies heard the louder part of the conversation but couldn't make out the end. "So what do you think the verdict is?"

"Please I'm sure Maple will be fine with it I mean she isn't that strict plus she knows Shure." Astra answered, pointing towards Shure.

"I don't know bout that." Shure replied lowering his head.

"Why don't you ask me yourself?" Maple said surprising the trio, "Alright come on in" she waved.

Getting inside Astra without a second thought rushed to his plate to finish his food, with Antithesis following not too far behind. As for Shure, Maple motioned for him to go into the living room. Entering he began to sweat anxiously.

Maple took a seat, partially raising her right hoof "OK, look Shure I just gonna say it instead of dancing around it".

"Maple I can explain, I mean I'm sure Trella said it but-"

"Shut up, Gosh. Look Shure I'm ok with it alright just give me a few years before becoming a grandmother. Can you do that for me?" Maple asked, grabbing a newspaper.

Shure nodded in response.

"Alright then, That's all," she said, looking past the paper.

Shure exited the room, going back to the kitchen he was practiclly tackled by his marefriend. "Oof" the wind left him as Trella pulled him into the air in a hug.

"OOOOOh, Shure she approves" Trella kissed his cheek. Finaly able to catch his breath as she put him down, "Last thing is my dad".

"What about him?" Shure asked fixing his glasses.

"Well, I don't know how she feels about dating." she shrugged going back to the island, Shure followed seeing Antithesis and Astra laughing.

"What cha laughing at?" he asked, sitting down.

"Nothing" they both answered.

"Come on tell me." Shure asked, taking a bite of his now cold breakfast. Astra cracked up, doing his best no to laugh, while Antithesis held a smile. "Just say it"

"I just hope maple doesn't over react" Astra mocked, before busting out in laughter. "Ha, you-" wipe eyes "thought she was gonna be mad"

Trella smacked the back of Astra's head with her wing, "Shut the hell up".
