@@Dynamo Pad, Swift nods "I w-want to s-show him t-that I love him" he says softly as he gets out a photo but the maker smiles "No need for a photo Swift, I know all too well what Soft Spoken looks like" he says as he takes the orders and rings up the numbers "let's see five sets of the colt and filly and their sisters will be 1000 bits each set and the one of Soft Spoken, that'll be 100 buts" he says with a smile Chocolate looks at the bag "Uhm, lets see, she says there is....5000 bits in here, so just enough" he says as he hands over the note then the other 100 for Swift's plush. "T-thank you b-big brother" Swift says, nuzzling Chocolate who smiles and pats him on the head, he sighs softly "Wha-what's wrong big brother?" he asks "Nothing little brother, I'm just glad we're still like this, even after all these years" he says, hugging his pseudo little brother close and nuzzles him back Celestia's eyes widen "Oh yes these will be perfect and during the reception dear Gentle? My that is a devilishly good idea, what do you think Night, dear?" Night Dancer giggles "Perfect..." she then winks to her friends "We should teach her some of our patented moves"

@@Dynamo Pad, Derek smiles and nods "I used to help the crew cook whenever we went away" he says and continues to eat his dinner "The deserts here are to die for, I always go for the strawberry cheesecake, bovarian chocolate cheesecake, chocolate mouse, strawberry mouse and icre cream" he says with a chuckle and rests his head on her shoulder, "This is lovely, luckily I don't have a lot of things, I can move in tonight if we want" he says softly. Devin pokes his tongue out, "Sorry love, bad jokes are kind of my thing" he says as he holds her close and smiles "Awesome, I know the best spot" he says, leading the way off the trail and where a small trail of fireflys light the way to a hidden meadow Stella nods "Yep all set" she says as she holds her food in one paw and Gabby's paw in the other, her tail intertwining itself with hers as they walk to the hidden path.

@@Shadow Dancer, Night Wing chuckles "Those two were new recruits last year, if they were part of my squad, they'd know you two by sight" she says as she leads the way to the throne room, where two of her lieutenants were guarding it, the both snap to attention "Captain Ni..." one of them says before blinking "Ind..Indicus?" Night Wing chuckles "Yes Lieutenant Swift, Indicus has returned" she says as she is let in with the others.

@@Summer Breeze, He smiles softly and sits "Don't worry, won't be staying too long, I've got an important meeting at the keep before setting off again.." he looks to his son "Come now son, you know my job is important, the Princesses rely on me to keep the seas safe" he says, patting him on the head "I promise, after this voyage, I'll be able to spend more time with you" he says but soon his smile turns to a frown "I'm afraid I have some bad news how ever" Clockwork looks to him "W-what is it father?" "Your mother, she is ill. It's the fumes from all the factories and everything, she needs to be away from them if she is to recover, or else she could get beyond recovering"

@@Raven Rawne, Clare nods "The serenity of the rolling hills and the peace of the ocean's wave. Who could ask for more?" she asks as she smiles, thinking of her future with her now fiance. she holds her saber close to her as she thinks on what kind of manor she would like, maybe a big enough one to hold them, enough servants and of course their families when they visit and most importantly their foals. "Would we have it in a town that needs a new 'governor' or 'lord'?" she asks "Or somewhere out of the way?"

@@Summer Breeze, "Surfing huh? Sounds interesting, I might just take you up on that offer" he says then notices a somewhat drenched looking stallion walking in, he couldn't help but chuckle but when he got a closer look, his eyes widen "F-father?" he asks as he sees the captain's hat under the stallions arm and the uniform he was wearing. The stallion didn't notice him at first until he said "Father" he looks around and spots him "Clock? Is that you?" he asks, walking over to him and sighs in relief "Thank the heavens, mind if I sit down?" Clockwork nods "Well, I don't mind of course but you'd have to ask my companion, Quinty" The stallion smiles softly "Would you mind if I sit here ma'am?"

@@Raven Rawne, Clare shakes her head "Who knows, another bridge we'll have to cross once we get there" she says and smiles "In all honesty though, I'd like somewhere still in the isles, I always loved the scenery of the green rolling hills" she states and continues playing with her saber "Maybe somewhere in between, There's plenty of vacant land and plenty of towns who could use a new lady and countess"

@@Summer Breeze, "A vacation sounds nice, but to where?" he says and smiles "I could always take a nice vacation on the sea shore, test out the rust proofing spell" he says then sighs as he looks out the window "Still downpouring, that's another reason I want out of here, it's always raining"

@@Raven Rawne, "Won't need to break in, I'll just flash my crest and they'll let us in, but if mother was a Crystal pony then that might make things easier for your father to accept our relationship without my father's glaring eyes over him" she giggles a little then closes her eyes "I know you think father is scary, but I'm sure you remember the times he was like a big cuddly teddy bear when we were fillies. He'd always take time off from being crowned Prince to play with us, and if either of us got hurt, he'd always make sure we got better and he'd hug us until we would calm down"

@@Summer Breeze, He smiles "ah, well, if you ever do need or want help, I'll be there to offer it for you" he says, noticing that she was a little closer to him and flips through the pages some more "What kind of boat do you have? Sail, row or one with a mooring? I can help upgrade the mooring and possibly ad a motor too" he says and blushes slightly, up even closer, she was rather pretty. "Anything to get me out of this forsaken city"

@@Raven Rawne, She leans over to show her "Look, doesn't it look like she's almost...sparkling, I mean like you do when you're that happy and in love with me?" she asks pointing a sheen on her mother's coat. "I never really noticed that before, it's almost like she was a Crystal Mare and..." she thought for a moment "Do you think it would be possible?" she asks, giving the locket to Crys for better inspection before laying back down and sighing "Father won't speak much about her, but it is because it brings back memories of her. He's truly a sensitive soul"

@@Summer Breeze, He nods and smiles "Yeah, its so that if I think of something I can open it up and research it immediately, instead of possibly forgetting about it" he says and smiles at her a little more "Most of what is in it is blueprints for various clocks, inventions and well even robotic mechinations But there are also spells that helps, such as..." he runs his finger along a certain spell and smiles "this one here, Permanent Rust Proofing" he says and his smile "there's even things I could make that could help you go pearl diving and even things that could possibly help you with your bo..." he blinks "I'm sorry, I ramble sometimes, but if you do want a little aid, I'll be happy to see what I can do"

@@Summer Breeze, "Truth be told, I wouldn't mind somewhere nice and quiet for me and my cat to live, away from all these factories and the smog, not to mention the other people, The sea sure sounds nice, but I think the air alone might rust my mechanical eye and arm..hmm" he says as he drags out his book and flips through it, "I'm sure there's a rustproof thing here somewhere" he says as he flips through the pages..then blushes "sorry, I kind of get excited when I think of something new to upgrade my eye and arm"

@@Raven Rawne, "I know out of all the ponies I could be with and marry, I'm sure she'd be please it is you" Clare says, closing her eyes again "I didn't know her for very long, but what I do remember of her was her beautiful heart and her beauty." she says softly as she closes her eyes "It was mother who taught me about having compassion for the common folk and to do what I can to help them live well and happy lives" she says softly "I sure do miss her though" She opens the locket that held the picture of her mother in it and raises an eyebrow "hmm, that's odd, never noticed that before"

@@Summer Breeze, He smiles and nods "Thanks, and well it was probably scary to them because all they could see was a flash of metal before they landed on the cold hard ground, then the piercing stare of my eye" he says making the shutter shut and open again as if to clear it of any obstacles. He smiles warmly at her "Not to mention the years I spent learning martial arts, I mean it took a lot of discipline just to make sure I didn't kill them, I got close but I'd never take another life unless absolutely necessary"

@@Summer Breeze, clockwork smiles "I like your name, it's unique. I mean there's bound to be other Clockwork's around," he says then nods to her question "Yeah, this thing was really handy" he says flexing his mechanical arm and chuckling, "Plus the piercing stare of my mechanical eye put the fear in them. They didn't bully me after that, but I will always have the scars as reminders of the beatings I got before I had that little 'accident'" he says with a soft sigh "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, right?"

@@Summer Breeze, Clockwork nodded, especially at the lonely part "Not much to tell about myself either, I'm a man who enjoys spending time with my clocks and mechanical projects in my workshop away from everypony and listening to my records. Obviously though, as my name implies, I sell clocks and things of that sort for my career,it gets lonely at times, but I kind of like that way, no one to bully me like back in school" he says with a soft smile, eating his chicken slowly, clearly savoring the taste.

@@Raven Rawne, Clare still had her eyes closed but humms "A crystal ring huh? that would be interesting but also fitting seeing as your ring is an Emerald ring" she says with a soft smile "i can't wait to see Celeste again, it's going to be great, just like old times. Remember, the days we'd spend just laying in the grass and watching the skies?" she asks with a soft smile on her face, as she opens her eyes and looks at her hand where the ring would go. "The ring you're wearing sweetheart, it belonged to my mother"

@@Raven Rawne, Clare smiles and leans over to kiss her "Of course you're included love, I mean you've got to admit, you want to adopt the mailmare as well" she says as she lays back down to rest.again and smiles softly "Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when get there, right?" she asks as she starts to play with her saber. "I mean, we've got our whole lives ahead of us and all, so we've got plenty of time to make plans and decide what we want to do" she says, closing her eyes and sighing softly "I'm just so happy that you said yes to marrying me"

@@Dynamo Pad, Chocolate smiles at the idea "That'd be a wonderful idea" he says as he goes over to the counter "We should get ones of their sisters as well" he says before waiting for the plushy maker to arrive, "ah hello there, I was wondering if you could make some custom plushies please?" he asks and gets out the photo of Dynamo, Orange and their sisters "we'd like 5 of each please, if this isn't enough, Princess Luna said to put it on her tab please" he says, putting the large sack on the counter. Swift blushes a little at the thought of getting Soft Spoken a plush "h-he's so cute a-and handsome" he says softly and blushes more as a few mares look at him, he didn't think they heard him as they whistled at him. He quickly hides behind Chocolate who was always like an older brother to him, which he thought was rather sweet "aaw is my little brother shy around the mares?" he asks and pats his head then looks to the mares "I'm sorry ladies, but my little brother is quite taken by another stallion" he says softly, then notices the mares begin to move their attentions on him and Quick "and so are we, well not by stallions, we both have beautiful wives who we both love very dearly and would never leave for anything" Celestia giggles "Well, I'm looking for something along the dominatrix line, you know, leather ,whips the lot" she says with a giggle then turns her attention to Dew Drop and Gentle "Now girls, surely I am entitled to date?" she asks and giggles "Of course, as I said to your dear friend Night Dancer, i have my eyes on a certain humble stallion, a one Kind Heart" Night Dancer giggles "He's got quite the hots for you dear Princess, just don't take him away from me for too long"

@@Raven Rawne, Clare smiles and gets up to go greet the mailmare "Aaw, I almost for you sweetheart" she says, pulling the shy mailmare into a hug and nuzzles her "I'd never forget you sweetie" she says, still hugging her "ooh I know you're a mare already but I just want to adopt you and claim you as my own" she giggles then gives her the letter to deliver to her father "Can you please find my father and deliver this letter to him, it is very important that he gets it" she says before kissing the mare's cheek and going back to the cart. She climbs upon it once more and closes her eyes "She's so precious, almost childlike"

@@Dynamo Pad, "You betcha, I love to cook, especially big meals like this one" he says as he sits down and begins to eat "I suggest going for main course food first, wait for desert" he says with a wink and licks his mouth as he lifts up a fork full of fried rice and chicken. He eats it and Kitty could tell that he was really enjoying it "mm this tastes so good, especially after not having it for so long" he says with a big smile. Devin nods "He sound great, I get to bunk with the pseudo brother of my girlfriend instead of the actual brother, what a trade" he chuckles and kisses her while for the other two to come back with their food. Stella looks at the menu "Oh wow, there's so much to choose from, I think I'll have whatever Devin has"

@@Summer Breeze, He takes it and smiles softly "Thanks" he says as he wipes the tears away and their food is served and he thanks the waiter then looks back up at Quinty "So Quinty, tell me more about yourself, that is if you want to" he says, and smiles warmly at her, which was odd for him, as he usually had a permanent frown or scowl upon his face. He honestly thought that most people where he lived were stuck up and only interested in their own lives, and anyone different, they looked down upon. He sighs then looks out the window at the downpour of heavy rain

Night Wing blushes "Hush up father, not in front of Uncle Shade and mama Crystal" she says trying to hide her blush behind her mane but it was futile. Crystal was giggling and blushed "M-mama Crystal?" she asks Night blushes "W-well Indicus was like a father to me, so it o-only makes sense"

@@Raven Rawne, Clare smiles "Think nothing of it darling, you were confused, that's all there is to say about it" she says and closes her eyes "As much as I do love being a knight, I wonder what it'd be like, to have a little filly and colt running around while I look after them" she says with a rather soft smile "Raising them to know right from wrong, having our fathers dote over them and completely forget that their daughters are complete lesbians" she chuckles somewhat at the last part, and then our own nieces and nephews if things go well between Celeste and Dusty, oh and don't forget little Rose Petal"
