Twilight's ears twitched as she heard the sound of her sister-in-law angrily throwing things around in the fridge before an angrier growl was heard followed by the door being slammed shut.

"What was that about?" Twilight asked, looking at her older brother.

"I'm not sure, but if I know my wife's grunts and groans like I think I do then I am in some serious shit right now" Shining said, genuine fear in his voice.

And as if by magic, Cadance stormed into the lounge area with a look of fury on her face, standing in front of her husband with a hand on her cocked hips.

"Something wrong dear?" he asked with a sheepish smile.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, there is" she said, curling her fist down by her side.

"Well, don't keep it locked up... just, give it to me straight honey" Shining said with a wave of his hand.

Cadance nodded her head and took a deep breath before unleashing on her husband.

"Shining I swear that if you open one more carton of milk when there's already one open in the fridge... so help me God I'm gonna divorce you" she hissed in rage.

It was at this moment that the brother and sister pulled the same surprised expression, wide eyes and pursed lips, this being one of the few times they looked like one another.

"Are... are you serious?" Shining asked "We're this close to the edge over milk?"

"No, it's not just that" Cadance said, pressing her fingers to her temples and massaging them "It's just the little things you do that really get to me"

"Like what?" Shining asked.

"Well... you know when you finish eating something, and, you take your plate into the kitchen?" Cadance asked "But instead of putting it in the dishwasher you just leave it next to the fucker, why do you do that?"

"Well, uh, it's just that I figured that I'm helping out by leaving it in the general washing zone you know?" Shining asked.

"In the zone?" Cadance asked in bewilderment "In the zone doesn't help me! You might as well leave it on the fucking balcony for all the good the zone does for me!"

Shining recoiled at her sudden increase in volume, another rare time where he was terrified of his wife when she became genuinely angry.

"Let me ask you something, when I bring the groceries in from the car do I just leave them by the fridge? No, I put them in the fridge to get the job done!" she snarled furiously "When I'm cooking dinner do I put the chicken next to the oven and just hope it'll cook itself?"

"No?" Shining asked cautiously.

"Yes honey, I don't, so why don't you put your plate in the dishwasher when you're done with it?" she asked.

"Right... sorry, I'll do that from now on" Shining said slowly.

"Good" Cadance said, her face changing to a cute smile as she beamed at her husband "Now, what d'you guys want to eat for dinner? We've got beef or steak in the fridge?"

There was silence from the two of them before Twilight's phone went off in her pocket.

She checked the caller I.D, making a disgusted noise before answering he call.

"What do you want?" she asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry" Peter's voice said from the other end of the line.

"Yeah, sorry Peter, not buying it" Twilight said in a cold tone "Maybe if you sounded genuine I might believe you"

"I am so sorry" Peter said.

"You're getting there" Twilight said, both Cadance and Shining looking at her "Maybe one more time, maybe in person as well?"

"Ugh... fine, where are you?" Peter asked in an unhappy tone.

"I can come to you, where would you prefer to grovel at my feet?" Twilight asked with a grin.

"You know I could just not apologise and just never talk to you again" Peter said irritably.

"Oh don't be like that, I'm just having a little fun with you" Twilight chuckled "But seriously though, where do you want me to come and talk to you?"

"How about... Times Square? By the staircase?" Peter suggested.

"Eh, it's a walk, but sure" Twilight nodded "I'll meet you there"

Twilight walked over to Peter, the taller teen turning around and flashing an awkward smile before Twilight's eyes fell on the small piece of plaster vast on his nose.

"What's, uh, with the..." she said, pointing at her own nose  to show Peter what she meant.

"A door said push to open, I disagreed and things escalated from there" Peter shrugged "But anyway... I'm sorry"

"As you should be" Twilight said "I stuck my neck out for you there and you kinda... well, totally threw it back in my face"

"Yeah... yeah, I'm really sorry Twilight" Peter said, scratching the back of his head.

"Are you sure you're sorry?" Twilight asked, raising an eyebrow "And how are you going to make it up to me?"

"I, uh, that depends really" Peter mumbled "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Well... that's a good question if I'm honest" Twilight said, tapping her chin thoughtfully.

Peter stood still for several long moments while the smaller teen switched through several generic thinking poses, his boredom quickly rising as the minutes dragged on.

"You're doing this now just to torture me, aren't you?" he asked "You can hit me a few times if you want, if that'll make the debt go away"

"Tell you what Peter, you go away and do some loser things and I'll just take this whole thing as an I.O.U and call you up when I need something, okay?" she asked with a smile.

"Yeah, sure, whatever Twilight" Peter nodded "So... are we friends again?"

"For now, yes" Twilight nodded, looking at the floor for a long moment before looking back up at Peter "Can I have a lift back home?"

"Yeah, I think I can do that" Peter said "Though just to let you know, my, uh, uniform got destroyed today so I'm having to use something a little different"

"Really?" Twilight asked "Like what?"

"I'll show you in a second" Peter said, looking across the packed city block for an alley they could both duck into to allow him to change "Come on" Next Chapter: Apologies 2: Apologies Harder Estimated time remaining: 5 Hours, 7 Minutes
