Button Mash: Come on, just give me one little hint
Button begged in his parents chambers
Queen Love Tap: No, Button
Button Mash: This is my future wife we're talking about here and I'm not allowed to know what the tests are, I have a right to know
Queen Love Tap: You just have to trust me on this, I know what I'm doing for your benefit
Button Mash in his mind: You mean your benefit, my benefit would be if I knew what Sweetie Belle is going to be facing
Queen Love Tap: Now, we're done talking about this, and you need your rest
Button sighed in defeat, knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere tonight and slumped out, Cinnamon Swirl saw his son's disappointment
King Cinnamon Swirl: I'm going to get a snack quick before going to bed, dear
Queen Love Tap: Alright, but don't take so long like last time when you ate those carrots
King Cinnamon Swirl chuckled: I won't, dear
He gave her a kiss on the cheek before heading out, once he did, he called out to his son
King Cinnamon Swirl: Hey, Button
Button turned back to face his father
Button Mash: Yeah, Pop
King Cinnamon Swirl: Your mother may not want to tell you, but she didn't give me a rule to not tell you
Button Mash: Really
His eyes widened in hope
King Cinnamon Swirl nodded: Listen, the first test will take place tomorrow afternoon in the throne room, it's going to test the princesses knowledge on what she knows about being a princess
Button Mash: That's it
King Cinnamon Swirl: Pretty much
Button Mash: I don't get it, Pop, why is she so overprotective about this contest, doesn't she want me to be happy
King Cinnamon Swirl: Of course she does, everything she does is only for your well being
Button Mash: Then why can't she trust me to find the right girl for myself
King Cinnamon Swirl: It's not so much as she doesn't trust you, it's the mare she wouldn't trust, you're going to have to cut your mother some slack, you are her only son
Button Mash: Then why didn't you have more kids
King Cinnamon Swirl: We wanted to, but after you were born, things had gotten so busy we hardly had a chance to try, being exhausted every day of raising you and running the kingdom didn't help
Button Mash: Oh, you know, I've been wanting to know for some time, but how did you and Mom fall in love
King Cinnamon Swirl: Well, there's not much to tell, as you know, your mother was a princess and it was her destiny to be the next queen of Marendelle, I was a young regent traveling Equestria and the lands surrounding it, I don't want to brag or anything, but I was quite the swash buckling hero in my day, fought off a few pirates, saved ladies in distress, and found some amazing treasures that you see in a museum now
Button Mash: Pop, the story
King Cinnamon Swirl: Right, sorry, anyway, I stopped in Marendelle one day due to a storm going on, and being tired from my journey, I seeked shelter at the castle, your grandfather, the king, didn't believe me that I was of noble birth, but he was kind enough to let me stay until the storm had gone away and I had the privilege to meet his daughter, it may be hard to believe now, son, but your mother was the most beautiful creature I ever laid eyes on
