Arnulf of Flanders

Spike has been in seclusion for hours, tidying up his room and getting ahead on his summer reading. Occasionally dipping into the snacks he's secreted away that he thinks his mom doesn't know about (she does but chooses to ignore it) while making sure to discretely dispose of the wrappers since she said no supper. Half of him dreads the coming of 9 o'clock, and the other half wishes it would hurry up so he could get it over with. Finally the chimes from the downstairs grandfather clock announce the arrival of his mother, and her slipper. Each swat on his already-sore bum feels like he just dropped cheek-first into a cactus patch.

The twins made one heck of a mess in Cupcake's kitchen this morning. Not only did they sneak the last of her award-winning cheesecake she was saving, but smeared much of it over her previously spotless countertop. Pumpkin has seen her brother's fate, and now faces the same herself!

Apple Bloom is staying a few days with another of her innumerable relatives. Last night she ignored Harrow Gold's instructions to go to sleep and instead stayed up texting her friends, making her grouchy and rude the next morning. This time, she learns that when Auntie Harrow says go to sleep, she means  right now,  young lady. Aunt Harrow finally returns. For some reason I made her years ago but only used her in one set.

Last month Twilight Velvet got a very special present, so now it's Night Light's turn! His curvy daughter-in-law shows her appreciation in her own unique way.

Having learned from a sobbing Spike that his mother is out running errands but will be home soon, Scribble takes them inside. She sends him to a corner with his cheeks out as she towels herself dry. And when Velvet inevitably returns, her youngest gets sent to bed without supper and an ominous promise for later...
