Erf / untitled thingy part 4

Mono raised an eyebrow. " Twilight Sparkle, who exactly is that?"
>"Wouldn't know too much about her champ, eheh. Afraid I'm at a loss"
[I guess I shouldn't complain, I never did make too much of an effort to find out much about Celestia herself, or her dealings.]
"Do you know why she's coming dad? ya know, so I can be ready?"
>"Nope, don't know about that either. Apparantly she's justa comin to speak to the class yer gonna be in"
"Oh well, that's alright then." [Damn, guess I'll be going in blind for this. But, what luck...I'll beable to test my inte...ngh] Mono cringed.
>"What is it son?"
"oh?..um...nothing, just ya know, kinda hungry." [Relax man....can't you be normal for one moment and not think about overclassing somepony?.....What if I managed it though?...even if I trumped and upset this...Twilight Sparkle...I'd be seen...no...Dad is right...perhaps...maybe...hey! I bet if she saw how smart I was, she'd be my friend. I'd be killing two birds with one stone!"\]
Train shifted his eyes towards the window, and walked over, peering out into the town, then looked at mono
>"I guess.....getting ourselves some snacks before your mother arrives might probably wouldn't hurt none. Just act all hungry like when she gets back"
Mono looked over to his father, half paying attention. "Oh...right right..yeah.."
Mono walked over and opened the fridge, he looked things over until he spotted "Salad in a can", he chuckled abit as he grabbed it with his teeth and pulled it out and put it on the table. [This should do] "Hey dad, where's the can opener?"
Train looked over, he was in the middle of making himself a small sandwich.
>"Dunno son, heh...want me to open that for ya?"
Mono just blinked ".......with what?"
>"hehe, bring that can over here to the kitchen counter and I'll show ya"
Mono didn't say anything, slightly curious to see what his father was talking about, he grabbed the can again and placed it on the counter next to his father.
>"Now, let me show ya a special trick. I just warn ya, you don't wanna do it yerself until your abit older"
Train slid the can and placed it on the flat of his hoof. And with a quick angled bite, pierces the metal as he jerks the can  upwards. Flipping the top clean off. He then places it back down on the counter for Mono. Mono at first cringed, he felt as if his own teeth may have just chipped, but then he smiled, he was actually impressed "Wow dad, that was pretty cool! where'd you learn to do that?"
Train felt abit proud of himself and raised his head abit, Mono taking the can and munching straight from it.
>"he he he, well. Your dad is the son of a frontier pony. Had to learn all kinds of tricks when tools ran low"
[Son of a frontier pony? how the...] "Dad...."
>"Yeah son?"
"If you were the son of a frontier pony, then how exactly did mom knock you out in one hit?"
Train coughed, He felt a lump in his throat.
>"Der....well..son, eheh.."
He wiped his forehead with his hoof
>"........ummm...."
Mono stared, munching
>"........."
"Dad?"
>".......yes..son?"
"How did you and mom get together? exactly?"
Train tried to compose himself, feeling his risen pride suddenly crashing down in flames.
>"Well....well...it's not too much of a story Mono. Yer mom and I just managed to compromise alot of our differences."
"Which were?"
>"Community views and views of nature..."
"And is that why mom clobbered you?"
>".......Hey look at the time! I better grab myself a shower before yer mom gets here"
Train quickly sped off to his room, forgetting his halfmade sandwich on the counter. Mono chuckled to himself and threw away the salad can.
"hehe...note to self, Dad is waaayyyyy to sensitive about getting beat by either mom...or just girls in general......oh geez, why do I have a feeling mom raped him or something..."
Mono walked over to the sandwich and ate it from the counter, it was missing a few components. But he didn't mind. Train was probably going to forget about it anyway. [hmmnn, wonder what mom went to get anyway? And...I wonder how this Twilight Sparkle is like? I wonder what big important thing she has to say to a grade school class? I wonder, I wonder...] Mono edged over to his parants room, he couldn't hear the shower going, he grinned lightly [I wonder how long dad plans to hide in there? Probably till mom gets home......god...I hope I didn't somehow aquire his traits for spazzing like that]
Mono walked back into the kitchen and looked out the window for his mother. [Tommorow is going to be interesting, I gotta plan for it. heh...New student walks in all smooth like, sits down. The other ponies think little of him, which is ok...because things can change. And then, the teacher comes in and presents Twilight Sparkle. Her speech is elegant, filled with poise. And then I swoop in, adding a new light that nopony has ever even heard of. Thunderous applause. This is going to be easy, friendship and all]
Some time passed, Train still hiding it seemed. And mono unmoving from his position. Until finally, he saw her.
"Ahhh, there she...WHAT IN THE HAY IS THAT THING?!"
Spirit was wheeling in a gigantic cake passed the gate, but this didn't look like any ordinary cake. It looked....slimy, green and brown, and the frosting looked....alien. Mono knew this was wrong, because ponies can eat sweets like nobodies business. Mono yelled "DAD! MOM'S HOME...AND....I THINK YOU BETTER KEEP HIDING"
Train opened his door and peered out, stepping into the kitchen.
>"Hey I wasn't hiding I was......"
Train looked out the window as Spirit closed the gate and sped towards the front door. his mouth went agap.
>"What in the name of Celestia does your mom have?"
".......I thought you knew, what kind of cake is that...dad?"
>"....son..I...don't know"
Both Mono and Train's thoughts pratically synchronized. Whatever that was, it didn't look too pleasent. and Spirit was leaving a dust trail as the front door flew open and she sped inside. And kicked the wheeling tray into the kitchen past them both, it hit the table, causing the cake to fly onto the table without tilting over as Spirit hopped into the room and jumped into a seat, and turned and smiled.
>Spirit:Surprise everyone!!!!
Mono and Train stared, shocked. What just happened. What is that thing? Were they going to eat that thing? Because that wasn't a cake.
>Train:...dear.....what is that?
Spirit just smiled at them both.
>Spirit: oh this? it's a cake!
"Mom....is it gonna eat us?"
>Spirit: hehe, come on Mono. Now is not the time to joke, Come on everyone. Let's dig in.
Train and Mono looked at eachother and gulped, and slowly sat down in thier seats and stared. The cake seemed to have already been sliced. How did she manage to get it in here in one piece?!
Mono inched over and hid behind the cake from his mother's view and whispered to Train.
"Dad....ask her what kind of cake that is"
Train looked over
>Train:oh no, you ask her...
"Dad come on, it'd be rude if I asked her...you do it"
>Train:Son I would but....
Spirit looked unamused, they couldn't see her face....but she could hear thier words.
>Spirit: I can hear the both of you, you know...
They both gulped and looked from the opposite sides of the cake, and noticed she was none too pleased.
>Spirit: If you both must know, this is a special cake I whipped up using various herbs, and some flour. And the frosting is an extremely healthy paste made from Poison Joke.
[Poison Joke? What in the hell?...Is it like Poison Ivy?] Mono took a quick glance at his father. He didn't seem to like the sound of that at all. But he braved a smile, if only because Spirit was becoming more upset with each passing moment.
>Train: ya don't say? eheh, so. Ummm...dear? ummm...Isn't poison joke dangerous?
>Spirit: Not at all, especially when you make it into a powder first and remove all the nasty little bits. This cake itself will make us all feel invigorated for days to come, especially important for our little Mono's first school day....But, perhaps you both should try it......
Spirit face became abit more annoyed
>Spirit:Before I get really annoyed at the fact of how rude both of you are being over a cake...
They both cringed. Train felt awful, he just belittle his wife's creation already knowing full well she's a wonderful cook, much better than him definatly. And Mono just felt bad he was upsetting his mother. The cake was thankfully producing no odd odors or anything foul. They both siged, and took a piece and shoved the whole thing in thier mouth, hoping it'd please her. The taste was horrendously bad. They both were turning green as they slowly swallowed.
>Train: d..dear..the cake..t.tastes...
>Spirit: Terrible? I know...
Mono couldn't hold it, he had to know. If she knew it was terrible, why were they eating it?
"Mom....Why then? How come we got to eat this then?"
Spirit smiled, how could she just smile after looking so upset, Mono thought.
>Spirit: Because we are all going to need our energy for tommorow, mentally,physically, and spiritually. It will be a heavy day for all of us! So dig in!
Train and Mono looked at the cake again. They didn't know what to do. it wasn't a super large cake, but it just tasted so foul. And both felt entrapped into eating it. This was probably the reason Spirit didn't tell Train what the surprise was. Spirit was eating the cake just fine, as if it was an actual treat. They took a look at her and cringed. Train was either too kind hearted to upset her or just wimpy about it and slowly....slowly started eating.
[......dammit....mom...] Mono didn't want to upset his mother at all, under all that was Mono. He really did hate upsetting his parents. Made his heart feel like breaking. He couldn't figure out why, it was probably because of how kind his parents actually was to him.....the feels. He slowly began to eat. And they ate. Spirit wasn't particularly cruel about it atleast. She finished off most of the cake for them. And they, just for eating the cake. Had fallen right into her hooves, even if the reasoning behind it was to make sure her family stayed healthy and strong.
