The entire room was silent.

"So," Twilight began, sipping her tea through a straw. "How has life been in Canterlot?"

"Good, good." Her dad said. "Learn anything new?"

"What it means to be more than a friend and what a pony in love is capable of doing." She said.

"Eeyup." Big Mac replied, sitting with one leg crossed as he sipped his. "Sorry bout' hurtin ya son, but ah went easy on him. Knowin' he's your son and all."

"Thank you for that." Twilight's mother said. "So, your the one who's dating my daughter?" She asked.

His ears splayed back against his head as he grinned nervously. "Eeyup. And she kissed me first if ya want to know." He said, making her father chuckle.

"I-I didn't mean to!" Twilight stammered. "It was only going to be a peck on the cheek but then Spike came in and he turned his head!"

"It's alright, no need to make up stuff." Her father said. "Everypony just has to act, not think sometimes."

"But-"

"Relax, that's how I met your mother. It was a spring evening, and I was getting some groceries when I bumped into her. So, right then, I asked her out. Well, after she winked and flirted a little with me." He smiled. "So, back to this strapping looking fellow. If you were to marry her, would your occupation be good?"

"Eeyup."

"What about a residence? Can you get one?"

"Eeyup."

"What about taxes or groceries, would that be covered?"

"Eeyup." He then finished his tea.

"You don't say that much, do you?"

"Eenope."

He smiled and chuckled when he saw Big Mac's grin. Twilight and her mother shared a, 'It's a stallion thing' look with each other.

"You got one with a sense of humor, I like that." He said. "So, how has life been for you?" He asked Twilight.

"Good, aside from earlier events." She shivered, her wings fluttering slightly. "But good."

Another pause, this time, Fluttershy spoke.

"S-So... You're Twilight's parents?"

"Yes, and you must be Fluttershy." Twilight's mother asked. "She has told us so much about you. Like how you take care of the animals, how nice you are."

"O-Oh... Well, thank you." Fluttershy said.

"Well," Twilight's father said. "I must say, you becoming a changeling is quite the shocker. Your mother went pale when she heard there was an accident. I nearly choked on my coffee from laughter after she calmed down."

"I'm sure it was very funny to see mom pass out." Twilight said. "Did you and atleast try and comfort her?"

"I told her I was laughing with her, not at her. And then I patted her on the back a few times."

"I wasn't laughing." His wife said, sipping daintily from her cup.

"How about a change of subject!?" He said. "So, Big Mac, I've only been down to the farm once or twice. You still having those..." He looked at his wife, she had a brow raised. he cupped her ears with his hooves. "Matches?"

"Ya know it." Big Mac said. "And quit coverin' ponies ears, we've been over that."

He uncupped his wife's ears and she gave him and small hit on the back of the head.

"So, sweetie," Twilight's mother began. "Can you do anything new now that your a changeling?"

"I can walk on walls and the ceiling. I still haven't learned to fly yet. I kind of wish I could."

"I could teach you." Fluttershy said. "If that's ok with you...?"

"Really? Thanks Fluttershy." Twilight said. "Now I know you could offer me a better plan than Rainbow Dash."

"My plan was fool proof!" Rainbow said.

"Yeah, was and fool bein' the key words." Applejack smirked. "Your plan was heavier in the air than the cement ya had the ponies carry."

"I'd like to see you try and help others physically." Rainbow shot back.

"Ah do. That's why ah let other ponies help on the farm."

Rainbow Rolled her eyes, sticking her tongue out.

"Twilight," her father said, setting down his cup. "Have you been to one of those... Matches?" He asked.

"I've been wondering about that. What matches?" She asked.

Everypony gasped, staring at her.

"Ya never seen any of the matches?" Big Mac asked. "Ah've seen everypony go, even Princess Luna once or twice. Except she was joining them..." He shook his head, recalling a bad memory. "Word of advice, if ya fight her, don't call her tiny."

"Ok... So, it's a wrestling competition?" She asked.

"Eenope. No competition. Just for kicks, uh, no pun intended." He smiled.

"How could be, beating each other up be fun?" She asked. "Your not a masochist, are you?"

"Eenope!" He quickly said. "It's more of a stallion thing. Ya wouldn't understand."

Spike face-clawed at the last word.

"Wouldn't understand?" She said. "Fine, I'll go see the next one. So, when is it and where?"

"Tomorrow night at the barn. As usual." Rainbow Dash said.

"Fine then, it's settled." She said. "I'm going to see what this is all about. Now, who wants crumpets?"

The room of ponies raised there hooves. And one claw.
