Morning in Ponyville

Iron sat down by the table after making coffee and some pancakes

Hawthorne sat beside her after picking up some pancakes and placing them on his plate.

Iron smiled and ate her pancakes

Hawthorne ate as well, before getting up and stretching his wings.

"Lily will be so happy to see you" she said

Hawthorne smiled widely and nodded. "She must have grown up quite a bit since we've last seen her."

Iron smiled "Yeah"

Hawthorne smiled and walked towards the door.

Iron held his hoof and leaned against him as they walked

Hawthorne nuzzled her and walked towards Aster's home.

Iron knocked at the door, smiling at Hawthorne

Aster opened the door, smiling. "Oh, hello!" she said. "come in!"

"Hello, Aster" Iron said, entering the house

Tiger Lily tumbled down the stairs, running over to Hawthorne and Iron, smiling.

"Hi Lily! How are you?" she asked, hugging her

Lily hugged her tightly, smiling. "Im good,."

"Wow, and how big you have grown" Iron said, ruffling Lilys mane

Lily smiled and hopped up and down, her injured wing still keeping her from flying.

Iron noticed her bandaged wing "Oh no.. what happened?"

"I got hurt while practicing." Tiger Lily said.

"Oh no, my little Lily" Iron said, lifting her onto her back
Stripes walked out of the kitchen and saw Iron and Hawthorne "Hello!"

Hawthorne smiled. "Hello, Stripes."

Lily smiled and nuzzled Iron's mane. "Don't worry, auntie, I'm ok."

"Hello Stripes" Iron said
"How are you two? he said

Hawthorne smiled. "We are great, we came to visit you guys."

"Thats great" he said, smiling and picking up Lily
