Ruby whined, and with that, Berry was shocked back into something vaguely resembling proper consciousness. It was enough to get her out of her mild stupor, if only so she could lift a hoof and point menacingly at the principal. Or, as menacingly as she could, which in her drunken state really amounted to little more than a few slurred, unintelligible words and a wild waving of her hoof in his general direction. He looked entirely unamused. "Miss Punch," he continued, straightening up his glasses with an application of that cool unicorn magic Berry so envied, "I must insist that you more effectively discipline your daughter, and yourself. I am quite tired of these little rendezvous." "Shut up," she mumbled, words garbled and indistinct. "You're not my real dad. Quit telling me what to do!" Lifting two forelegs, she mimed throwing a bottle at him, but her hooves, being empty, refused to work; she stared at them for a few moments in silent dismay, while the clock ticked away in the corner. "Berry," the principal eventually sighed, shaking his head, "I worry for you, you know. Ruby is growing to be something of a hellion, and without proper parenting, she will soon become too much, even for you." "Don't you tell me how to...raise my son!" The purple earth pony cried, throwing her forelegs into the air. The chair she sat on wobbled under the sudden movement, careening backwards, and Berry eventually found herself lying flat on the ground, staring dazedly up at the light on the ceiling. It was a nice light. Like thousands of angels, just dancing on their little pinheads...oh, how she wanted to frolic with them! "Berry, this is the last straw," the principal sighed, and Ruby looked as though she was about to burst into tears. "If you do not submit yourself to some form of rehabilitation, I will have custody of your daughter taken from you. Is that clear?" Berry blanched.
