Claire: Meetings?
 
Illusion: None today. Shop?
 
Claire: Somepony else is taking care of it. Door?
 
Illusion: Locked. Daughter?
 
Claire: Being watched by T and Nidra.
 
Claire: Well, it looks like everything’s in order for a romantic day for two
 
Illusion: So…………. what do we do?
 
Claire: …………….. I dunno. It’s been forever since we’ve had alone time like this.
 
Illusion: For real
 
Claire: We could go out somewhere
 
Illusion: I guess. But, I’d kinda just like to relax and stay here in bed
 
Claire: Aw, what’s the matter? Work got you stressed?
 
Illusion: Hey, it’s not easy ruling Equestria
 
Claire: I suppose not. So do you just wanna sleep all day?
 
Illusion: Well…. are you in the mood?
 
Claire: The mood? For what?
 
Illusion: Y’know…….. “the mood”
 
Claire: Oh. Well, I mean…. if you are
 
Illusion: chuckles Why’re we so awkward?
 
Claire: Who knows kisses Illusion
 
Illusion: chest fluff puffs up
 
Claire: You’re adorable
 
Illusion: I know. kisses Claire back So, are there gonna be any injuries this time?
 
Claire: chuckles Shut up. That was literally a hundred years ago
 
Illusion: stops kissing Claire to think ……………….. Wow……… we’re old.
 
Claire: But hey, we look good
 
Illusion: Yes we do continues kissing
 
Claire: giggles
 
Illusion: Wait…….. did you hear that?
 
Claire: No, you’re just crazy grabs Illusion’s face
 
Illusion: I swear, I heard a scratching noise
 
Claire: It’s probably nothing. Just guards patrolling outside
 
Illusion: shrugs
 
???: Mommy. Daddy.
 
Illusion: Okay, you have to have heard that
 
Claire: I don’t
 
???: Mommy. Daddy.
 
Claire: Who is that?
 
Illusion: I think…… somepony’s at the door…. gets up and heads to the door
 
???: Hello?
 
Illusion: opens the door slightly and sees a guard Oh, hello soldier. Do you need something?
 
???: begins to glow and seemingly shrink
 
Illusion: I-Identity? What are you doing here, sweetie?
 
Idie: ………. looks in at Claire
 
Claire: Who is it Illusion?
 
Illusion: It’s Idie
 
Claire: Idie? gets up and goes by Illusion Hi baby. Are you okay? What’s the matter?
 
Idie: ……. I have a cut
 
Claire: !!!
 
Illusion: shakes head in disbelief W-what was that?
 
Idie: I have a cut. Can I have a bandage?
 
Claire: O-of course! Come leads Idie in and takes her to the bathroom
 
Idie: follows Claire
 
Claire: Here you go starts wrapping bandage
 
Illusion: What happened Idie?
 
Idie: ……
 
Claire: …… where’s Uncle T and Auntie Nidra?
 
Idie: They’re distracting each other
 
Claire: Oooh…. Oh.
 
Illusion: Well……… did they know you got a cut? You could have asked them for help
 
Idie: I went outside and fell down
 
Claire: Were you disguised as a guard the whole time?
 
Idie: nods
 
Claire: ……..
 
Illusion: ………..
 
Idie: May I please have water?
 
Claire: Of course. Do you know where it is?
 
Idie: nods and goes to get water
 
Illusion: ………
 
Claire: …………..
 
Illusion: She talked
 
Claire: You heard it too right?
 
Illusion: Yeah…..
 
Claire: She knows how to speak so well! Why hasn’t she started talking until now?
 
Illusion: Maybe she’s had nothing to say
 
Claire: Are we doing something wrong? We should ask her why she hasn’t been talking
 
Illusion: I’m sure she would’ve told us if something was wrong
 
Claire: I mean, yeah…. but if we can understand her better, then maybe she’ll talk more and…. be normal
 
Illusion: Crys…..
 
Claire: I know…… not talking is her thing but….. I’m worried about her. She has no friends. There are many ponies willing to try and be her friend but she just shuts them out….. or they think she’s shutting them out since she won’t speak to them….
 
Illusion: ……… Well, she’s a very smart filly. I’m sure she has her reasons and she’ll eventually find that making friends is important
 
Claire: sighs and nods Can we just ask her why she doesn’t talk?
 
Illusion: I don’t see why not. But we shouldn’t pressure her to speak if she doesn’t want to
 
Claire: nods
 
Idie: goes back to Illusion and Claire
 
Claire: Hi sweetheart. You got your water?
 
Idie: nods
 
Illusion: smiles
 
Claire: Idie, can I ask you something?
 
Idie: nods
 
Claire: Why don’t you speak to us more? Is something wrong?
 
Idie: shakes head
 
Claire: Do you have a reason?
 
Idie: …… shrugs and shakes head
 
Claire: looks to Illusion
 
Illusion: shrugs
 
Claire: looks back to Idie O-okay….. well…… you know you can tell us anything right?
 
Idie: nods with a smile
 
Nidra: Idiiiiiie? Where are you? Please come out!
 
Illusion: chuckles Seems like somepony’s looking for you.
 
Idie: gets up and heads into the hallway
 
Nidra: T, look! There she is!
 
T: Idie! Where have you been? You really shouldn’t run off like that
 
Nidra: Thank Celestia we found you. Your parents would’ve killed us if they found out we lost track of you
 
Claire: Hello Nidra. Hi Turquoise
 
T: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Claire. H-hey Illusion
 
Nidra: How’s your romantic day alone together?
 
Illusion: Great. How’s yours?
 
Nidra: W-what’s that supposed to mean?
 
Claire: pulls Idie by her leg A little birdie told us that you two were…… distracting each other
 
T: coughs
 
Nidra: blushes and kicks at the floor
 
Claire: chuckles
 
Illusion: Hey, Idie, keep an eye on these two for us okay?
 
Idie: giggles and nods
