"Of course you do." Acrylic said teasing lightly, mostly to change the subject. "Fresco said it, that's why you agreed." He said causing Fresco to freeze and cover his cousin's muzzle with his hoof. "Could you excuse us...?" He questioned before dragging Acrylic off as War Paint laughed heartly.

Emulsion tried to stare at the butterfly on his noise but became cross eyed and shook his head and became dizzy and fell on his flank. He chuckled a bit and smiled. "Thou hast given me an idea for a new sculpture mine little wingened friend." he said happily.

War Paint smiled happy to hear that from Darkness, but sad to hear about his foal hood, when he puled back a bush she gasped at the scene of what Darkness shown her. "Wow." She said breatheless.

Emulsion was a tall buff stallion who spoke in a strange way. In fact Emulsion was strange in almost every way. So here he was with his flank in the air as he stared at a butterfly. "Thou art of fleeting beauty mine friend." He mumbled flicking his tail a little bit as the butterfly landed on his noise.

Acrylic flushed when she quoted what he said about the party. "Well it's a hoe down compared to some of the parties I've been to at Canterlot." He said coughing as Fresco chuckeld amused. "It never pays to be rude cousin." He said walking past Acrylic flicking him with his tail.

Fresco paused and froze shocked and blushed slightly before coughing. "W-Well it's no problem! I did what any gentle colt would." He said trying to keep calm despite stuttering a bit.

"Hi Delilah. How's it going?" he asked eying his sister out of the corner of his eye making sure she wasn't going to jump him again.

"Princess everything is in order!" War Paint said in her formal canterlot voice, Celestia smiled at War Paint and said "Thank you War Paint." as War Paint grinned as the other gaurds left. "Happy b-day Tia!" She said grinning brightly dropping her gaurd stance and tone before she trotted of and left herself.

Acrylic flicked his tail a bit sighing. "I hate suit and tie affiars." He mumbled as he made sure no pony messed up the decorations that all the staff worked so hard on.

"Tis funny how time flies." Emulsion mused to himself as Acrylic rolled his eyes. "I can't believe I was dragged to his hoe down." he mumbled as War Paitn grabbed him and roughed up his hair through his hat. "Cheer up emo colt! It's a party enjoy yourself!" She said grinning as Acrylic mumbled that he wasn't an emo colt.

"Delilah!" War Paint shouted tackling the mare and roughing up her mane with her hoof. "It's been so long! How ya doing you silly filly?" She asked giving Delilah one of her dreaded bear hugs.

"Delilah! Fancy meeting you here!" Fresco said flicking his tail a bit. As Acrylic groaned and wondered if he should pull War Paint off of the poor mare.

"There, there. I do hate it when mares cry. It always makes me want to hold them and make them feel better." he said rubbing Delilah's back with his hoof. "Well I hate it when anypony is sad or troubled really. Maybe that's why my special talent is cooking, because I use it too make people feel better than what they did before." Fresco said pulling back smiling at Delilah. "Do you feel better now?" he questioned the mare.

"Party!" War Paint shouted running around ponyville as Acrylic sighed, most of the Paint clan had came to Ponyville just for this party. (only because War Paint and Neon nagged them too). Acrylic was already starting to get a head ache from the noise and all the ponies and War Paint screaming her head off like the pink clury maned pony over next to the dance floor wasn't helping.

Fresco trotted along calmly with his brother not too far behind him and Neon had shot off some where with the other fillies and colts. Shellac and her husband were still in Canterlot because they wanted a night alone and Neon's mother Luminous had to work.

"I love parties." He said thinking of the Grand Galloping Gala rather than this type of party.

"Oh you poor thing!" Fresco said using his magic to catch the tear with a tissue. He pulled her in a hug and patted her on the back not caring that they were at the dinner table. It's not like any pony noticed because War Paint was making a fool out of her self trying to have Acrylic help her with a trick she learned from reading a magic book.

"My condolences, that must have been tough for you." He said smiling softly with his eyes closed

Fresco smiled and grabbed Delilah's hoof. "Think nothing of it, mother and auntie both lived long and happy lives! I just have a habit of missing them ever so often." he said smiling brightly trying to comfort Delilah.

"Oh nothing much, just mother and auntie." He said staring at the other side of the room looking a bit far off.

"That sounds nice..." Acrylic said as War Paint looked around the town happily grinning not noticing that Light was staring at her for a moment.

Luminous stared at his hoof before shaking it. "Pleasure to met you Mr. Fermata My name is Luminous I'm a member of the Paint family. This is my dearest daughter Neon." She said motioning towards her daughter who smiled and waved. "So you said you where the trombonist for the Brass band?" She questioned before turning to him fully and leaning back into the chair. "Impress me." She said-- No demanded as Neon laughed exasperated at how her mother got when she was all business.

Acrylic smiled a bit and shook his head, "No thanks Dawn I've got it. You just relax." He said calmly as Fresco choked in the kitchen when he seen Acrylic smile. "Emulsion!" he hissed quietly to where Acrylic didn't hear him. "Did you see that?! Acrylic smiled!!!" He hissed in his brother ear

Luminous peered over her sun glasses at the stallion curiously. "Good day to you too, and yes I am speaking of the Canterlot Brass Band, I'm quite interested in them. It's not common for ponies to choose a brass band over some of the newwer styles of music. I'm hoping to be impressed, hoping, but not holding my breath." Luminous said sippng her drink once more as Neon looked over at the stallion and smiled quietly. She knew when her mother lowered her glasses she meant business and it was best to stay out of her way.

Fresco sighed when he seen his brother bother the mare and grabbed his brother by the tail with is magic and sat him in front of the sink. "Casanova do the dishes." he ordered as Emulsion huffed and glared, but backed down when his brother glared at him. Acrylic was setting the table and Fresco got to work on dinner.

"Nice to meet you." Fresco said as Emulsion eyed her clearly interested in her. Acrylic didn't seem to notice and said "Well Fresco I got the hay now get dinner set up I'm straving!" He said with a flick of his short tail. Emulsion then walked over to Dawn, "Fair maiden, thine beauty is incomparable." He said leaning towards Dawn, seemly forgetting the fact that the mare just scared the life out of him.

((This open to all))

Acrylic wasn't a very patient pony to begin with, but this noble pony he was painting was a noble paint in the flank. "Maybe I should try this side, after all it is my best side..." The aristocratic pony mused to himself as Acrylic's eye twitched, painting took time, that he didn't mind. But what he did mind was narcissistic ponies such as this one. He sighed shaving a bit, getting ready to explode at any moment. "How about... We try this again next week." He suggested but when it seemed that the pony didn't hear him he just got up and left him there.

After packing his things Acrylic trotted down the streets of Canterlot wanting to get his mind off of that stallion and his blood to stop boiling with anger. Acrylic sighed once more trying to calm down before he blew up on some innocent pony and looked around at the city wondering what to do. Acrylic had been rubbed the wrong way by the pony at that moment he didn't even notice that he was outside without his cloak on in all his spotted glory.

The two stallions came out from under the table one completely shocked the other just sighed. "Honestly, you make a big deal out of nothing all the time brother." Fresco said to his brother as other two stallions stared at him disbelievingly. "Right..." Acrylic said rolling his eyes before trotting into the house. "Guys, this is my friend Dawn. Dawn this is my cousin Fresco and my cousin Emulsion." He said introducing them to one another.

Fresco couldn't help but smile and laugh at the two mares talking among one another. In fact they reminded him very much of his mother and late Aunt (Acrylic and War Paint's mum), spacing out for a moment himself Fresco quickly shook those thoughts away, there was no need to hold such depressing thoughts at this moment. He had guest to entertain, and being one of the most polite ponies in Canterlot he was sure going to make sure that they were entertained.
