Applejack: You’re back! oh thank Celestia you’re safe
The orange mare hugs Spike tightly as he chuckles
Spike: Haha we were only gone a week. I’ve left for much longer than that before
Suddenly a small orange head pokes out from behind spikes head
Charlie: Mummy! Mummy it was so awesome! there was dwagons ereywere!
The young dragon pony giggles as she begins to fall off of her father again for the umpteenth time during their trip back
Applejack: Sounds like you had fun
Applejack smiles at her daughter before turning a cold stare on her husband
Applejack: I do hope you didn’t run into any dangerous dragons.
Spike: Haha no of course not. AJ don’t you trust me to keep our little gems safe?
Spike kisses his wife on the cheek as she visibly relaxes
Applejack: Of course I do
As she says this the first born child of the couple lands down upon his fathers back unintentionally pushing his sister off. again.
Alex: Mumma! Mumma! Ah’ went swimming in Lava! Dadddy taught me how to swim! In Lava!
The orange mare pales greatly as her husband curses at his forgetting to mention to his son not to tell mummy about that
Applejack:…..
Spike: AJ I know that sounds bad b-but he is half dragon and…
Applejack: Half! He is only Half Dragon spike! You didn’t know if he would be fine or not! You let him swim in LAVA!!
The dragon winces as the much smaller mare yells at him
Spike: But he was a natural in it
Applejack: But what if he wasn’t! He could have…
Applejack looks at her two children who stare back at her before lowering her voice
Applejack: He could have died
Alex: Mumma I’m sorry… I-I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to go near the lava… I wont do it again…
Alexander looks up at his mother with big eyes, his ears lowered
Charlie: I’m sorry too mummy…
Charlotte pipes up. Applejack looks between her children and her husband, all three trying to looks as apologetic as they could, and sighs
Applejack: Well I suppose as long as none of you were hurt
She smiles and nuzzles the two children affectionately
Applejack: but next time tell me if you’re going to try stuff like that
Spike, Charlie and Alex all nod in unison
