I trotted down the hall towards Dashie’s room. She had been crying ever since her coltfriend broke up with her. To be honest though, I didn’t fully approve of him. I guess it’s normal for the father to not care if their son gets a marefriend. In fact, the only question on average is, “Is she hot?” then when the son says yes they high-hoof. But when the DAUGHTER gets a coltfriend, there are many more questions. “I want his name, where he lives, age and the names of his past marefriends if he has any.” I murmured to my self as I neared the door.

I could hear Luna on the other side trying to calm Dashie, but to no avail. I wanted to track down that stallion and scream at him for the rest of his life. I heard large sobs on the other side of the door I was now standing outside of. I was reluctant to knock on the door, but I softly tapped it anyway.

Dashie sniffled and managed to stop crying. “C-come in.”

I opened the door and walked over to the two alicirn mares sitting on Dashie’s bed. Luna got up and walked out of the room. She closed the door behind her. I could tell she walked down the hall, then walked back. I shifted my attention back to Dashie. “Are you okay?” Wow. I have no idea how to deal with things like this! My kind always needed their parents approval before being able to date. I guess we can tell when something is going to last.

“Yeah I’m fine.” Dashie squeaked through voice breaks and tears. I sat down next to he on the bed and patted her on the back. I racked my brain, seeing if a thousand years of knowledge had any idea how to deal with this. I could only think of one way.

“When I was 12, I had no game.” I blurted it out. The single most dumb thing I’m pretty sure I’m ever going to say. Dashie just looked at me.

“W-what?”

“I couldn’t get anypony who I really liked. And if I did, I’d lock up and become unable to speak.”

Dashie wiped away a tear and seemed to regain her voice a little. “Man you really didn’t have any game.”

I should’ve seen this coming. I knew Dashie would turn the tables on me. “Yeah, yeah. Bother me all you want.”

She giggled a little. This was a good sign.

I wrapped my wing around her. “If he can’t see who he just turned away, he must be blind. You’re the bravest alicorn I know. You always help those in need. You always share. And you’re the fastest flier I know. He didn’t deserve you.”

Dashie wasn’t crying anymore, and if you looked at her you’d think she never had. “Thanks dad.” She hugged me back then jumped off the bed. “I’m gonna go find another stallion and show my old coltfriend that I can bounce back!”

I face hoofed. Of course that is how she would take it in. I got off the bed and trotted out of the room as Dashie brushed her mane in front of her mirror. I closed the door and trotted down to Luna’s room. When I opened the door to Luna’s room she squeaked and jumped up, dropping something fairly suspicious on the floor. She jumped down on top of it and shoved it under her pillow.

“What was that?” I asked.

“Nothing! Nothing at all! Definitely not a letter from some cute stallion no sir! Never even dream of something like that!” She replied with the fakest cover up smile I’d ever seen. She was even worse at acting than me.

I picked up the pillow and the note from their resting spots all the while holding Luna by her tail as she struggled to grab the note. “Oh really? Well then I guess you won’t mind me taking a look will you?”

Her entire face turned red as I opened up the note. “We can talk right? You’re a reasonable stallion! You don’t want to do this!” She said it so fast I could barely understand her. This was going to be even more fun than the pie all those years ago.

I opened it slowly, delicately. As to not harm any piece of text or paper. “From a pony named ‘Supernova’ huh? Sure does sound like that batpony you always look at whenever their around. Oh and did I tell you I saw you two brush tails?”

She blushed so hard she looked like a tomato. “I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about!”

“Are you positive?” I had the note almost completely unfolded. “I also saw you two looking at each other’s flanks. And I saw him swipe his wing across your back.”

She couldn’t even speak and her entire face was beet red. I opened the note.

Dear Luna,

Hey cutie. I saw you yesterday and was blinded by your beauty. I never knew a mare so perfect existed in all of Equestria. I was wondering if it would be to much to ask if you would be so kind as to meet me on the bridge in the middle of town in two days. I’ll be there.

Love, Supernova.

I looked at her with a sly grin. She had a sheepish smile on covered by beads of sweat and nervous laughter. “Ok so maybe me and him are just a little bit fond of each other...” Luna said helplessly.

“A little bit?”

*********************************************************

It had been a little while since I had teased Luna about her ‘secret’ coltfriend. I was tired from not really sleeping last night as we all had to got to Celestia’s coronation. She was now old enough to take the throne for Equestria being 18 and all. As I walked towards the staircase I took notice that Luna had fallen asleep with the note in hoof. Dashie was in a similar state but with her mane perfectly brushed.

I got an eerie feeling as I walked towards the couch. I heard the clock in the kitchen hit and a resounding thud echoed through the home. I had built the clock with a rope, glass, pan, and rock. You could probably figure out what makes it work. I spread out on the couch, resting my head on the end. Then I remembered.

That note said that the three of us would fall asleep at noon. Three. I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I struggled against the ever resounding call of slumber. I heard my eyelids thud.
