- >apparently, that didn't matter
- >as you went to buy the tickets, the pony in the booth had already prepared a few words
- >"Wow! You're one of those satyrlings, eh?"
- "Y-yes sir."
- >"You're might cute! Here, second ticket is on me. Enjoy your trip!"

- "S-sorry ma'am."
- >a seat creaks as the person stands tall
- >really tall
- >holy shit, another satyr

- >you notice Alex twiddling her thumbs
- >"How's Gilda? Is she still a raging cunt?"
- >Alex's head snaps up, nose scrunched in rage
- >Dad wiggles his finger at her, and she deflates
- >she slumps, arms crossed
- >"...Where do you think I get it from?"
- >Dad sighs and pats your back
- >"I'm going to the bathroom. Don't fight while I'm gone."
- >watching him walk away was like your boss at your full-time desk job telling you you needed to stay late today, just because
- >turning back around, Alex isn't scowling at you
- >instead, her eyes are widened and curious
- >"So who's daughter are you?"
- "Ever heard of Sunset Shimmer?"
- >"You mean Celestia's old student, Sunset Shimmer?"
- >you nod, worried about what she'd say next
- >"I thought she disappeared, never to return!"

- >...is this what it's like to have friends?
- >you couldn't hold back a giggle

- >he trails off, eyes locked on something
- >following his gaze, you realize it's someone, not something
- >a purple unicorn and her satyr daughter, you assumed
- >"Twilight... Glimmer..."
- >he was in a state of fear and shock
- >the purple unicorn's horn began to glow as she stepped forward, baring her teeth at your father
- >"Glimmer, stand back."
- >sitting on your couch, you felt pretty embarrassed
- >you mother couldn't stop pacing
- >she kept nervously looking at the royal guardspony that brought you and Dad here
- >"I fucking warned you."
