"Thank you Rarity."

"Why of course Darling."

What remained of the sibling brawl 2027 ruined kitchen was now occupied by a dressed pair of Immortals. The Princess of friendship awkwardly lifted her coffee mug that had been topped off by a make-up applying white goddess of fashion. Nearly spilling the hot mud between her wrists, Twilight's forever hoof like gestures with her fists still showing the genius and Princess could not quite get the hang of fingers. Rarity sat across from her other worldly friend at the kitchen island, her own steaming cup of tea having liberal cubes of sugar added, a rather new feature, much due to her Wife. Sonata had become a poor influence on the eating disorder driven women. She had even stopped throwing up almost every meal! A wry smile played the pale features of the perfect, and silk coated lady as she eyed her friend.

"Twilight, honestly. You can not hope to be seen in public like that. Why those garments are ill fitting..at best! And they smack of your outfit from our School days. Huff...why that was almost eleven years ago!"

With a rose tint to her cheeks, the Princess fumbled and bit at her lower lip after sipping her mug of morning glory.

"My theory is, when coming from Equestria un-clothed..."

Rarity made a rude nose at the idea of not wearing garments.

"...we take on a outfit to suit our standing in the human world."

"Soooo, our dear Princess Luna is a dark ages man at arms? Mind you, the mail does look fetching on her figure!"

"No, I believe it reflects her personality, and well..who she is. Luna has long been the...ahem.."

"Strong arm?"

Twilight giggled and rolled her eyes, a button popping at the center of her heavily stretched school girl blouse.

"Sort of. She had a rather rough relationship with her and Celestia's father. They're Mother passed during her delivery...he never forgave her."

"Oh dear!"

Nodding in a solemn fashion, Twilight went on after a long drag of her coffee.

"This isnt my story to tell, but suffice to say, the King favored his eldest Daughter...in more ways then one..."

Tapping her lean chin in thought, the fashionista rose and made for the well used cupboard above the family stove. She dug for a bit, the clink of bottles filling the air before a sharp "ah-ha!". Returning to the island, Rarity uncorked a dark colored bottle and poured what smelled like a spoiled syrup, its texture similar as well into her tea cup. The healthy dose bringing to the very peak.

"Rarity, what is that, it smells..odd."

With a femine giggle, the mated female offered Twilight the large handled bottle.

"Do try some in your drink my dear. It gives it a bit of a morning...hop, if you will."

Taken the bottle with her head cocked, the ever curious scientist and egg head fumbled and rolled the bottle to read the label.

"Wailys?"

"A human delicacy, as I mentioned, ment to start your morning off right when..."

The loud harpy like screech of Adagio could be heard from just outside the back door. The Alpha Siren, having watched her giantess of a wife leave like a beaten dog had recovered in record time. With her tiny orange hands, she yanked the two amazon females that where her younger siblings off they're feet, dragged them out to the patio and slammed the back door so hard it hung from a hinge. That had been ten minutes ago. Celestia, her eyes lost in thought as she watched her retreating young, whispered something to her smaller sibling and the two followed Sunset out towards the family garage. Gorrz, feeling awkward had barely the chance to open his mouth in question when the spider like form of his Niece launched from her stool and was clinging to his back and shoulders squealing something along the lines of "IT'S ON G, IT'S ON WE GOTTA GO WATCH!!". The giant of a man-child took the youngster to the living room, and the soft blare of morning cartoons could be heard....also the hoots of a over grown boy and shrill happy laughter his animation loving ward. This had left a hand wringing Twilight and Rarity alone.

"sniffff...whew! This stuff is strong, are you sure its for breakfast?"

Having taken a long swallow of the warming morning alcohol, Rarity sighed and allowed the spread of its effect to issue out from her empty stomach. She eyed Twilight with her sky toned gaze for a long moment before giggeling and tipping the end of the bottle to allow the drink to pour into her pony turned human friends mug.

"Do not be silly, would I lie to you? I may not be our un-coeth friend Applejack, but you can trust me Twilight."

Allowing the Princess to sniff, taste then drink. Rarity refilled her mug after the initial hacking and coughing fit of the purple women to pass. Adding a bit to her own along with some tea, she allowed the screams of Adagio, the dull thud of what she guessed could only be one of the Sirens heads into the side of the house, along with the chirps and explosions of Saturday morning cartoons to fill the silence between her and her friend.

Then, as she noticed Twilight's posture slip, her shoulder relax and a haze come to the women's eyes after her third cup of the mixed coffee, the viper in her struck. A cruel grin the only warning before she sunk her gossip-fangs, into the Princess.

"Twilight..."

With a snort and rubbing of her own reddening nose, the nerd of a Alicorn turned human, glanced up, a silly smile on her face as she tilted back her fourth cup.

"Yesh?"

The grin on the red lips of Rarity grew.

"You mentioned the dreadful event of the Royal Sisters Mother's passing?"

"Oh! Oh yah...well, you shhee. Luna's birth was difficult, blood lose and the like..."

The Princess trailed off, a war behind her dilated eyes, clearly showing the want to tell more but the restraint of trust she held with her former teacher. Rarity poured more of the morning "drink" into her friends mug and smiled while leaning onto her hand.

"Well surely such a tragedy would go far to form the state of Canterlot was it? Canterlot politics and the future of the Royal Sisters?"

"Hic..yup! It was a bad scene, for sure!"

"Why I can only imagine the state they're Father, the King was in after the lose of his wife. Or his..thoughts, on when his gem of the bundle, Celestia took a suitor and had a foal?"

Twilight shook her head wildly in a bit of a early morning drunken stupor. Rarity leaned closer, her fangs digging deeper into the conversation. She had guessed as much. It was clear Sunset had no idea whom her Father was, and Celestia had never mentioned it. More over the mere mention of anything other then the Princesses of Equestria was un-heard of.

"Oh? She never married?"

"HIIIIIIIC!...Excussse, me...err, nope!"

Cocking her head and feeding the conversation with her stage acting, Rarity tapped her chin slowly and hummed.

"So if she was never married, yet is Sunset's Mother...."

Twilight was busy rubbing her finger, suddenly mastering the use of her appendage along the bottom of her cup and licking what remained of the mixed drink from it to notice.

"Then that means...."

"Twilight sparkle!"

Eeping and falling from her already precarious perch, the over sized purple bosom trembling as she fell onto her wide rear. Luna stood with hands on again chain mail and leather clad hips, as she glared at Rarity with malice.

"I do believe as the humans put it "You need a cold shower..."."

"Awww! But Wuuuna!...hic!"

"Up with you child, off you go!"

Slapping the plump bottom of the youngest Princess, Luna watched her drunken stumble down the hall, trip and face plant, then crawl into the bathroom. Spinning on her heavy booted heals, Luna leaned down and got eye level with the smirking Rarity.

"You are digging a hole you wont come out of, little human."

"Oh my Darling, do forgive me your Highness. Why I was only enjoying a cup of Coffee with my old friend...tell me.."

Her voice dropped a full octave, a dull glow filtering her sky blue eyes as a white and black strand of hair twirled up her curled mane.

"Care for a cup...?"
