The next morning I wake up and come downstairs too twilight cooking pancakes again, but this time she’s making waffles. I can’t help but smile brightly as I sit down and start eating. The morning goes, normally twilight talks about what the day is going to bring and before I knew it, a knock on the door, startled both of us. Opening the door twilight is greeted by her parents, twilight velvet and nightlight. They push past twilight right up to me and envelope me in a tight hug .

“Ohhhh it’s so nice to have another grandchild. And you’re such an adorable little Philly silver. we’ve learned so much about you. It’s nice to meet you. I am twilight velvet or you can just call me grandma hehe.” She says, happily nightlight pitches in to save me

“I think you would want to let her breathe. The poor thing looks like she’s suffocating.” Nightlight says patting me on the head. Twilight velvet let’s go with me with a light blush on her face from embarrassment. to say new grandparents are a bit eccentric but they’re nice in general.

“Mom help me they are smothering me” I plead to twilight in a lighthearted manner. She simply shakes her head, smiling, walking over and sitting down next to me.

“ sweetie I should’ve warned you they can be a bit affectionate you’re gonna have to deal with it heheh” twilight says taking a bite of her breakfast.

“Twilight dear we won’t smother her. We are just so pleased to have a new grandchild speaking of grandchildren when is flurry, heart and shining armor and cadence coming?” Velvet says, taking a bite of her pancake.

“Oh I got a letter from them saying they were running a little late. They’ll be here around 10 maybe 11 it’s 8 o’clock right now so we got about a couple hours before they come” twilight says. I start reading my daring book while I continue to eat my breakfast.

“My, my This little one is a lot more like her mother in regards of reading while eating at the same time.” Nightlight petting my head. I didn’t think anything of it until twilight levitates the book away from me. She puts a bookmark in it and set it off to the side.

“ too much like me to be honest sorry sweetie no reading at the table we have company.” Twilight says giggling.

_______________ Few hours later________________

“And then she started crying because she didn’t want to leave. We were forced to get her a library card so she could come back anytime she wanted.” Velvet says, showing me a picture of twilight when she was my age. She had her nose in the air, sitting on the ground and turned away from the camera, refusing to leave the library.

“Wow funny thing is I’d probably do the same thing I really am like mom aren’t I? Heheheh” I says giggling at twilights red face. Finally some pony knocked on the door, allowing twilight to be excused. Opening the door revealed cadence, shining armor and flurry heart. Who all hugged her.

“BBBFF I miss you it’s been so long. How have you been?” Twilight says hugging her brother.

“Oh you know running the Empire etc. heheh” he says. And then twilight turns to cadence where they look at each other for a moment before reenacting a silly dance.

“ Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs, awake, clap your hooves, and do a little shake” they both say in unison. After which twilight and cadence, hugged and started talking about random stuff. Flurry heart had wandered over to me and extended a hoofing greetings.

“Hi I’m flurry heart we cousins apparently.” She says, and I shake her hoof.

“ silver and I guess we are. what is that dance that Mom and Aunt cadence did?” I ask her she just rolls her eyes.

“ that is just this silly dance that Mom and aunt twilight do when they see each other apparently it’s to make sure that they aren’t changings or something like that” Flurry heart says.

And like that, the rest of the morning went perfectly fine. I met my aunt and uncle and my cousin we talked hung out had breakfast and then we decided to play a boardgame. After a couple hours we decided to call it a day.

“Ok let’s see oh no go to jail do not pass go? That’s not fair.” I say complaining twilight pats me on the back.

“It’s OK sweetie. It’s just a game.” Twilight says as she collects the fake money for her turn. The game went as smooth after that as you would expect Twilight velvet one.

“ you’ve got to be kidding me Mom you always win every board game we put in front of you. It’s like some sort of special talent. It’s crazy.” Twilight says quickly backed up by shining armor, who agreed with her.

“Heheh could it be that you two are just not that good at boardgames? Hmmm~~” she taunted. After that, we proceeded to play for more board games of which twilight velvet one every single one.

Afterwords Grandma and grandpa left and then cadence and shining armor and flurry heart. At some point I learned that she is actually my age now six. But now that they are all gone, it’s just me and twilight and Spike. We decided to sit quietly and read for the rest of the afternoon. Twilight made an excellent vegetable stew. For dinner. And then we had the rest of the cake for dessert

After twilight tucked me in and like every night kissed my forehead right above the horn. Good night. all in all that was an amazing birthday with my family.

the next morning I went back to school. We were learning about the summer Sunset celebration. When I noticed pipsqueak looking at me. For whatever reason it made me blush and I looked away from him and he did the same. I got this feeling within my chest, my heartbeat faster, and I looked back at him blushing.

“ silver was it I wanted to say happy birthday Sorry it’s a bit late.” he says, smiling, which sent my heart fluttering.

“O..oh not it’s ok thanks p..p…pipsqueak” I stutter he giggles at that waving a hoof at me.

“Nah you can just call me Pip on my friends do.” hi shake my head yes only to be hit in the face with a piece of chalk.

“ miss silver gleam were you even paying attention or should I move you and pipsqueak apart? Miss Cheerilee says sternly.
I immediately straighten up and shake my head no.

“then pay attention, and you won’t have to move now where was I? Oh yes, during the summer sun celebration……” I tuned her out as I looked out the window thinking about what these feelings for Pip were and how I’m going to deal with it. I guess it’s something I’ll have to figure out in the future.
