"Everyone, you don't need to fight over me, really. And I'm not a picky eater, I'm sure I'll enjoy anything made by you."
They seemed relieved by this and got work preparing dinner. Although they smiled at Twilight, the four were still glared at each other, their intense rivalry filling the air, even as they worked.
Twilight sniffed the air and sighed.
"I can smell that! This isn't a contest, really!
"Y-yes Twilight."
The tension did not dissipate, though the four made more of an effort to bury it, each looking at their rival's contributions with disapproving eyes.
And then came the time to mix them..
"No don't put the vegetables there! You'll ruin the flavor of the meat."
"I think you've cut those noddles enough-"
"Pah, that is not even close to done-"
Twilight stood up and spread out her wings, making herself grow till she reached near the ceiling.
"Stop it! This is supposed to be an enjoyable family dinner."
They all hung their heads.
"Yes Twilight."
"There's more than enough of me to go around, literally and otherwise. Whatever happens I won't leave anypony behind or forget them. Each of you are responsible for everything we've built together, and I'll always remember that."
"So no matter what happens, we'll always get to mother you"? Nightmare Moon asked, and all four of them looked at her hopefully.
Twilight sighed.
"Yes, of course."
Nightmare Moon clapped her hooves together, even doing a whinny before self consciously noticing the others and composing herself.
"Ahem... I mean this pleases me."
Twilight shrunk down to her normal size, as the mood became more relaxed, though a competitive stench still filled the air. The four ponies finished preparing dinner, biting their tongues and brought it to the table joining Twilight and eagerly awaiting her reaction.
