Flurry Heart; after taking some deep breaths to calm herself down, begins to babble, and pats Sombra’s lap to get him to translate for her. After that, King Sombra cleared his throat, and then begins the story.

“Okay, get this. When I was playing with my plushie: whammy, I was just minding my own business, when suddenly I heard a knock at the door.” Sombra stopped and waited for Flurry Heart to continue. She starts babbling again, and then Sombra continues by translating; “and apparently this angry looking mare doesn’t seem too happy with my auntie, and came in without introducing herself.” Flurry Heart hesitates a bit, and then starts to continue the story; albeit with a look of worry and anticipation.

After the story, Flurry Heart looks like that she’s just about to break down in tears. Well; in this case, she did. And it was loud; loud enough for almost the entire kingdom to hear. And that was just because of the story that she just told to not only her parents, but to her enemy too.

After about five minutes of crying, Sombra then began to say with a slight chuckle; “woooow. I didn’t expect the story to be like that. And I thought mines was bad. But it turns out that yours is even worse. Geez kid; way to go. Nice. Good job. Awesome.” Flurry Heart blushed due to embarrassment from that statement, and then turned to hide her face into King Sombra’s chest again with a slight whimper.

After another five minutes, the parents have completely calmed down, and then began to regain their composure. Afterwards; Cadence began to speak; “okay... . Well that was interesting. Anypony else here have any ideas? Shining?” Sombra turned to him; with Flurry Heart now hiding her face on one of his shoulders, and then says; “yeah kid; what story do you have in mind?” Shining Armor looks nervous; with beads of sweat forming around his forehead. After a couple minutes, he regains his composure, and starts saying; “maybe... . But I don’t know if it’ll work or not.” Sombra just shrugs, and then states; “so what? Just make it as kid friendly as possible. If not; then skip the parts that you can’t do, okay? That’s what I did for my bar fight story; now it’s your turn.” Shining Armor nodded; having agreed to King Sombra‘s tactic. He then began to take some deep breaths to calm himself down, and then says; “alright”, before gathering the others closer to him. “Here’s how it goes...”.
