The next day Trixie awoke to the sound of buzzing and a slight fuzzy irritation on her nose. She sniffed once and tried swatting the fuzzy feeling away from her nose turning over in her bed to bury her face into Spitfires chest. She found the yellow mare sleeping soundly beside her, happily snoring the early morning away.

She smiled rubbing her nose against the soft fur inhaling Spitfire's natural scent. It was very earthy smell. It was nice.

BZZZZZZZZ.

Trixie scrunched her face wondering what the annoying buzzing was. She took her pillow and covered her head with it, sandwiching it between the pillow and Spitfire but the buzzing continued.

BZZZZZZZZ.

This time Spitfire jumped at the sound startling Trixie. Now fully awake the two mares searched around getting their bearings. They looked around once and found the source of the disturbance. A small black bundle lay between they at the foot of their bed buzzing happily in its sleep.

"Oh, Peanut." Trixie rolled her eyes.

She looked over to her mate who reached over to pick up the little changeling holding him close to her chest. He wiggled in her grasp and scrambled to find a warm place, hiding in her arms and chest. The two mares giggled at him and laid back down together with in between them. The love he felt in that moment was soothing.

They giggled at the sleeping bundle of joy as he continued buzzing in his sleep. Spitfire ran her hoof gently across his black chitin body. The sleek black body was sturdy but soft enough to push inwards like a firm pillow. Trixie shuffled closer putting her arms around Spitfire's neck and pull in to a kiss before resting her head on Peanuts body.

Several hours later Peanut was hungry. True he was able to feed off emotions, but that was for his magic. He still needed to eat solid foods in order to survive. His hunger made his tummy growl and as any drone would do, he left the safety of his home to venture out into the world in search of food.

He silently stood up and shook himself like a cat would after waking up. He then walked to the foot of the bed. He saw the distance was greater than he wanted to jump. So, he beat his tiny wings and hoovered off the bed and flew to the door. He latched his entire body on the knob and shifted his weight making the nob turn with him. With a few well timed beats of his gossamer wings the door slid open and he flew out leaving it open.

He flew down the hall turning left and flew across the hall/living area and made his way to the kitchen. Along the way he saw his sister Buttercup at the table with a pile of books at her side. Curious, he fluttered over to her and peeked over her shoulder. Tough she was a a few years older than him, Peanut recognized she was working on Advanced Algebra.

Her mane was a disheveled mess, her eyes had bags under them and a empty coffee cup rested beside her hood. He didn't understand what she was working on but he didn't have time to find out when his gaze met a pair of angry eyes. He flinched and buzzed backwards as Buttercup glared at him and he slunk back into the kitchen.

He glanced from the corner seeing the brown teen mare was back to work on her paper and books.

"What was that all about?" he asked himself, wondering why she was mad.

He dared not venture too close out of fear she'd chase him away. Though he could outrun her, he still didn't want to try. So he beat his tiny wings and lifted himself up to the cupboard where he found several bowls and plates stacked. He lit up his horn and lifted a whole stack of bowls out and placed them on the counter. He then lowered himself taking one in his holey hooves and placed it to the side and used his magic to put the rest back.

He then poured the cereal into the bowl and followed with the milk. Putting everything else back he searched the kitchen for a spoon and found one at the end of the counter. He planted himself on the corner of the counter and watched for ten seconds as the cereal mixed in with the milk before he drove the spoon into the sugary delights and extracted it and took the first bite.

He buzzed happily at the mixture of flavors in his mouth.

Drawn by his buzzing, Buttercup abandoned her homework and walked into the kitchen to see Peanut eating his cereal while pretending the spoon was a plane. She cracked a smile shaking her head at her little brother before returning to her studies.

A half hour later peanut had finished eating his breakfast and placed the bowl and spoon in the sink. He wasn't allowed to wash them, so he left them there in a bit of water. He then set out to have fun for the day.

The little changeling ran into the living room and hopped on the couch. Bouncing on it a few times before resting his bottom on the center of the plush cushion. He glanced around seeing Link resting beside the couch on the floor. He looked over at the sleeping timberwolf cub and overheard down to him.

Sitting beside the green cub, he brush ed her cubs head rubbing behind his ear making the cub kick his paw out. He then left the cub to his own devices and flew over to Spitfire's training room. There he found her fiery maned mother flying laps around her personal course. The cloud course was impressive to the changeling as was his pegasus mother.

She flew with such speed and grace it made him feel envious. He was able to fly and do magic, but neither was really any good. Compared to a pegasus and unicorn, he was considered sub-par in terms of magical and flight capabilities. But that didn't deter him. He beat his tiny wings and flew up into the course and followed the path Spitfire took as she made her rounds.

As Spitfire rounded a corner a black speck entered her field of vision. Quickly she angled her body and flew around the black speck nearly colliding with it. She flew off course and watched as Peanut flew a lap around the course as quickly as he could. She gave a hearty chuckle as she watched the changeling bump into one of the obstacle rings. He shook his head and continued on like it was nothing. Shaking her head, Spitfire took off again flying up beside him.

He turned his head to see his mother smiling at him with an approving nod. He smiled back and picked up speed trying to overcome her. Spitfire knew she could easily out fly him but kept pace with him in a miniature race around the course. Spitfire kept pace with him only barely passing him before she would slowdown at the corners and let him pass. But then he did something that she hadn't expected.

Peanut realized that when he followed close behind his mother, he could fly faster as long as he kept pace with her. on the last lap he used this to his advantage he followed her slip stream style and as they rounded the corner he flew past her with great speed and took her by surprise. She darted after him as he past the start point and had claimed his victory.

He landed on the top most cloud and hooped up and down with glee.

"I did it! I beat, momma!" he cheered.

Spitfire stared at him dumbstruck. It was such a surprise that he beat her with such ease. True, she wasn't mad that she lost, just surprised by the sudden surge of speed he had. But she beamed with pride at him.

She flew up to the cloud and landed beside him. As she did he flew upwards into her gut, tackle hugging her. He laughed into her chest as she laughed as well.

"I won, momma! Did you see me fly fast?" he asked her excited.

"Yes we did Peanut." a second voice called from below before she could respond.

Both peeped their heads over the side of the cloud and saw Trixie and Buttercup below. Peanut jumped down from his cloudy vantage point and was grabbed by Trixie in her arms.

The blue unicorn squeezed him with a laugh. She then began twirling him around holding him up in the air, as he giggled in delight waving his arms. Spitfire landed beside Buttercup and they watched. The pegasus wrapped her wing around the threshal and pulled her close. The teen mare looked away in mock annoyance, but secretly smiled at the contact nudging her mother.

After the excitement toned down, Trixie took Peanut to play outside with his friends leaving Spitfire and Buttercup alone at the apartment. The teen batpony was at the table struggling against her homework. She bit hard into her pencil, her sharp fangs digging deep into the wood reaching the graphite. She let out an almost feral growl slamming her pencil down on the table shaking it. Spitfire was making a hayburger when she heard the noise and instinctively turned off the stove and peeked around the corner to see what the commotion was about.

Seeing the teen mare face down she let her wings give a mighty flap propelling herself the short distance beside Buttercup.

"Hey."

"Hey." Buttercup grumbled, her face still on the table top.

Spitfire glanced over the young mare to see the papers scattered across the table. Immediately she recognized the problem. She saw the abhorred numbers scrawled over page after page. Pie charts, formulas, theorems, and all manners of shapes and lines, their cruel forms being the very foundation to life and understanding the universe they say. Spitfire knew better, she knew the evil that was math and all the drama sleepless nights that came with it. A devils art form.

Tenderly Spitfire draped her hooves over the little mares shoulders and tenderly rubbed them. Buttercup gave a satisfied moan, as the pegasus worked the tight muscles in her neck.

"Thanks mom." Buttercup said through her moans. "Guess I didn't realize how much studying I've been doing."

Releasing her, Spitfire pulled up chair and sat beside her.

"Need any help, hon?"

"No, I don't think you can help me with this." she replied glumly running her pencil across the page.

Spitfire scoffed folding her arms across her chest. "Bah! It's just a bunch of stupid numbers and letters-"

"Variables." Buttercup corrected.

"Whatever!" she threw her arms up in the air. "Come on, let me help."

Buttercup smiled shaking he head. She scooted over allowing her mother to scoot in for a better look. Spitfire picked up the book, sweating nervously. "Besides, with the two of us what could possibly go wrong?"

Hours later, Trixie and Peanut returned home. Unlocking the door Peanut flung it open and happily hopped around the living area and onto the couch, while Trixie lay her saddlebags by the front entrance.

Giving a quick glance around, she say two ponies at the table huddle together. Curious she approached the two and saw Spitfire and Buttercup over several books and a pile of papers on the table. Taken aback by the pile, Trixie gasped at the condition of the two ponies. Their manes were a disheveled mess, bags under their eyes, and bloodshot eyes to top it with several coffee pots beside them chatting incoherently as they scribbled page after page.

"So if we divide by the square root of seven we should get the answer for A and then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for B and then we can find the square root of Pi!" Spitfire yelled triumphantly showing Buttercup her paper. The brown pony scrunched her face staring at it with great intensity.

"No! You did it wrong! That's for a right triangle! We need the value of B so we can identify the width of this parabola!"

"That's not how it works Buttercup! is it?"

"I DON"T KNOW ANYMOREOREOROOE!" the teen mare cried burying herself into Spitfires shoulder as she coddled the crying mare.

Trixie walked over, unnoticed, and lifter the paper in question scanning over it. Spitfire and Buttercup stopped and watched the unicorn quickly scribble something down on the paper Buttercup was working on. A minute later she placed the paper to the side and put the pencil down and walked away humming to herself.

Spitfire and Buttercup stared in awe at the page. It took them hours of heated debate and arguing, yet neither of them could find the answer. They checked the back of the math book they got the problem from and saw that Trixie had the correct answer. They stared in awe at the amazing feat she had pulled off. Truly she was a goddess among mortal ponies.

Hey guys sorry for yet another long delay!

So getting back into the full swing of things here we are with a little slice of life chapter and it'll probably be that way for a while. But things will heat up eventually, after all, we still don't know what the Kindle Trinity's plan is or the mysterious Professor they mentioned.

The answer will come though so stay tuned!
