My Little Dinner Date: Coloring is Magic Chapter 5 (Preview)

“Mommies!” Lily charged towards the door and threw herself at the two women who had entered.

Eve, for her part, only stared ahead. Her jaw hung loosely open, head tilting. She tried processing what she saw, her mind slowly going over what she was looking at. This… this was… what? What the hell?

She rubbed her eyes and looked again. Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy were standing in the doorway, gently looking down and petting Lily on the head, smoothly talking to her like it was the most normal thing.

The young green witch could only look on in sheer bafflement. She had gotten a text a little bit ago from Caroline saying that she and Peter were on their way home. Lily wanted to stay up a little longer to greet them, and Eve had allowed it. However, these two ponies entered through the front door, not the humans she was expecting.

“I-I see,” Fluttershy spoke, looking up from Lily to the baffled-looking witch, “You expected something, b-but you didn't expect this exactly, did you?”

“I-I-I ju-just… I don't…” Eve tried forming the words. “I'm sorry?” She wasn't sure what she was sorry for exactly. It seemed like Fluttershy expected her to know what was up, but honestly, she hadn't the foggiest idea.

“It's okay!” Twilight chuckled softly, “We're doing just fine now.” She bent down to Lily's level, giving her the most motherly, sweet look Eve had ever seen the character give. “Thank you for meeting us when we got home, but it's past your bedtime. Off to sleep, sweetie.”

“Can't I show you what I colored?”

“In the morning,” Fluttershy spoke up now, looking down and stroking Lily's hair again.

“Okay… good night, mommies!” Lily kissed Twilight on the cheek and hugged Fluttershy's side. Then, she hurried up the stairs and disappeared into her room.

Eve was left alone with the two pony women, who gave her the kindest of smiles. She was just completely lost by all of this. “Okay, I just… just… what happened to you two?”
