1.
(This is just my first story idea for PJ2023 and is not an actual entry)
2.
>She set it ablaze...
3.
>You were worried your face would catch fire but it only extended far enough to blind you
4.
>A party candle in the shape of a 4 hovers in front of you
5.
>"You're awake! That's good, I was quite worried."
6.
>Worried?
7.
>You try to speak but you can only manage a groan
8.
>Now that you remember that you have eyeballs, you also remember that it feels like someone smashed the shit out of your head
9.
>"Oh-no no, don't let your head roll like that! I think you got a concussion. And while magic can help... well... I wanna have a talk with you for a moment."
10.
>Talk with who?
11.
>Who the hell would crack your noggin, put you somewhere dark an-
12.
"...Miss Twilight's Mom?"
13.
>The candle pulls back to show that while you may be seeing double, it is most definitely Twilight's mom
14.
>Something... Velvet?
15.
>Like the cake
16.
>"Hi there, Anon! Yup, it's me. I wish we could have spoken a little less... harshly?"
17.
"Did you do this?"
18.
>What is it with mares always being the violent ones?
19.
>Big Mac nudged you with a cart once and made it up to you by giving you a quantifiable fuckton of deep-freeze pastries
20.
>"Oh no... well. I mean, yes. But I didn't mean to hit you that hard! But that's not important right now."
21.
>What the hell could be so important that it warrants that?!
22.
>Sensing your frustration, she gives you a deceptively warm smile
23.
>"It's about Twilight. I know that her birthday is coming up in two weeks and..."
24.
>She leans forward
25.
>"You're still gonna propose to her... right?"
26.
"W-wha?"
27.
>First off, how did she know you were planning on popping that question?
28.
>Secondly...
29.
>...
30.
>...
31.
>...
32.
>How did she know you weren't going to pop?
33.
>"Ohhh don't mind the "how", Anon. Old mares like me have our ways."
34.
>She got to Spike
35.
>God damn it
36.
>"I know that ever since she became an alicorn, she's been getting... well, well... a little scattered. More so than she usually does. Mothers have to be honest."
37.
>That's putting it one way
38.
>"And she confided in me that you and her... that you don't look at her the same. That isn't true, surely."
39.
>You don't answer
40.
>You could use the main in your skull as an excuse
41.
>But it's true
42.
>Twilight with wings just...
43.
>It's off-putting
44.
>You don't dislike the princesses but you don't find them attractive in any way
45.
>No disrespect meant, naturally
46.
>But your purple smart
47.
>Your beloved
48.
>She seems like a different pony now
49.
>"I see that look in your eye... I know it's hard to accept change, sometimes. But you know it's still her. And she still loves you."
50.
"She doesn't act like she does anymore."
51.
>You answer on gut instinct
52.
>With even the faintest move, you can feel that you can't move your hands
53.
>You're probably tied down to something
54.
>If you could move, you would at least try to hide the sour look on your face
55.
>"Oh, but she does! We talk almost every day now, you know. With her now being a Princess, it's... it's a lot to take in, I'll say so."
56.
>Ms. Twilight's Mom paces around you, the birthday candle following around your head
57.
>"Mercy, I went a little hard... I am sorry, Anon. With you being my son-in-law, I really should have thought twice."
58.
>Or at least asked you normally, like a normal...
59.
>Nevermind
60.
>She stops when she's in view
61.
>"Anyway, I just want to make sure... you are still going to propose to her."
62.
>You roll your eyes
63.
"I mean, you're acting like I've been ignoring her. The last two dates I had planned, she canceled on."
64.
>Miss Purple Mom looks taken aback
65.
>"She did?"
66.
"Yeah! She's going to Canterlot, focused on learning how to fly, she..."
67.
>She hasn't slept at your side ever since it happened, and has been refusing your usual advances
68.
>Quite definitively, at that
69.
"She doesn't make it seem like she wants to remain close anymore."
70.
>"That... she didn't tell me about."
71.
"I'll bet. Did she ever have that conversation that starts out normal but then she stops and alludes to how she'll most likely live for a thousand years and then wander off in a daze?"
72.
>The edge in your voice isn't aggression
73.
>It isn't even frustration
74.
>Without being theatrical, it's despair
75.
>The old mare seems to understand you
76.
>Her expression is familiar
77.
>"Yes... she did. The first night she came to us, all in a flustered mess, she went from excited, to afraid, to excited again, to sad..."
78.
>A smile flickers on and off of her face
79.
>"To... realizing that she's going to outlast me, her father, her brother, that little dragon of hers. Every pony she's ever known, including those friends of hers."
80.
"...and probably me too."
81.
>Miss Bookhorse's madre nods
82.
>"That's right. And you too. There's truly nothing I could say to help her. As a mother-a parent-it hurts the most when you know you can't help."
83.
>The candle flickers out
84.
>"Oopsie, sorry."
85.
>Another one ignites before you
86.
>Another 4
87.
>"Sorry about that, Anon. These are all I had at the time I thought this up."
88.
"No, it... it's fine."
89.
>You try to wave away the act
90.
>If you could fucking wave
91.
>As if your shit wasn't cracked like an egg
92.
>Despite all of that, you can't find it in you to take offense at this
93.
>Not more than you usually do from the other insane antics that come from ponies
94.
>Not when it comes to Twilight's happiness
95.
"I... I still want to, you know? But I want to know that she'll still have meaning in it. I want to know that she will put herself into it, and not just treat me like an accessory."
96.
>Doesn't help that the mint pony has taken advantage of your being lost and has looped you into mane brushing sessions
97.
>You would never admit it but you like having someone to talk to
98.
>And she has let it be known that she admires your hands
99.
"I can't propose to her just based on momentum. I have to know it will be real."
100.
>Miss Mommy watches your face
101.
>"I don't have an answer for that, I'm afraid."
102.
>Both of you look up at the sound of some sort of knocking
103.
>"Oh horse feathers, that's Twilight."
104.
"It's what?!"
105.
>"She always knocks that way. Listen-she can't know you're here. It might make for a bad time."
106.
"I'm sorry, "might"?"
107.
>"Listen, I'll be right back. But for now I gotta see what she needs. If she sees you here, like this, it might... ah... well. You know."
108.
"Don't do it, lady."
109.
>"I'll be right back, I promise! I'll even bring you some juice!"
110.
"I'm warning you, if you-"
111.
>That was it
112.
>That was hours ago
113.
>You can still hear them talking
114.
>They went from niceties to plans and her upcoming birthday
115.
>And her birthday wish
116.
>Despite everything, your hearing is razor sharp when it comes to your Twilight
117.
>"I hope Anon and I can make up... do you think he still loves me?"
118.
>Twilight's Mom sounds far too loud to be a coincidence
119.
>"Oh, I'm sure he loves you with ALL his heart! In fact, I bet he'll even have a HUGE present for you!"
120.
>"...why are you shouting?"
121.
>"Never you mind that, sweetie."
122.
>That mare is a psycho, plain and simple
123.
>Her daughter may have made the wish
124.
>But she blew out the candle
