Seems good. Good pacing and good concept.

I'm actually on Cake's and Twilight's side on the issue, I agree with Twilight in a way, but I also agree with Cake. I agree with Twilight because it wasn't done to discipline Cozy, it was done out of anger and frustration.

Hope to see more.

Wow. Are people really getting upset over a horrible monster of a filly getting a spanking of all things? Color me surprised. The story seems pretty good so far.

I mean to be fair, she probably killed someone.

Cake stopped as soon as she saw the filly’s body release tension, and slapped her hard on the flank. Before Cozy could open her mouth to yelp in pain, she pulled back and hit her again. This wasn't a spanking, it was a beatdown disguised as one.

I’m pretty sure that’s a spanking.

Twilight's eyes went wide as she let go of the pan in her magic and turned around. “Cake you can't do that! Studies show it's terrible for kids! You know my parents never spanked me!”

I’m gonna need a copy of those studies.

Cake glared as her temper flared again. “My mother spanked me good every time I was a little shit. And it made me who I am today!”

Is that meant to be a good thing or a bad thing?

Twilight bit her tongue. She had a lot of ammo she could have used right there. Like the fact Cake had left home at the ripe age of twelve to become a guard and only went back for Hearth’s Warming. Or the fact Cake scored the lowest on anger management in her class. Or simply that she screamed when Twilight had touched her flank on their honeymoon. But instead she bit her tongue and remembered that Cake had been trying everything she could prior to this.

Ok bad, got it.

“Please Cake, don't take out your frustrations on her. Like I almost did.”

What does she mean by that?

The reminder served as a curved blade, making Cake remember what her intentions were and how she could end up making a similar mistake. She nodded and returned to her food as she thought about just what kind of pony she had become. One that was now defending hitting fillies. She decided that it could be effective to solve her problem for now, but in the long run not so much… as she finished her meal and returned to the bedroom to wait for Cozy to do something again she realized there was an easy alternative. Words may not hurt adults but they sure do hurt kids!

What is she planning?

“Now get a cloth and wipe those crocodile tears off your fucking face. I don't want to see them when you crawl out of your filth to come eat with us in a few hours.”

Whether She has tears or not, I don’t think it’s gonna take much for someone to piece things together.

“Come on Cake, the girls are waiting for us! Spike can watch Cozy while we're out,” said the glowing alicorn as she began to trot outside, Cake following behind her as she caught a glimpse of Spike sleeping on one of the couches. She knew Cozy wouldn't dare try anything now. Hopefully never again.

Does this man always sleep?
