Mother’s week part 1 of 3
Chapter 4
“Just one week mom, Then I’ll be off camping with the scouts. I can’t wait.”
“Oh well I got my sister to cover my work for a week so how about we go stay at my favorite star gazing spot. Then we can plan the rest of the week from there. How dose that sound?
“Sounds like fun mom. When are we gonna leave?”
“After I raise the moon sweet heart.” “But until then you better get on your studies and only after your done, you can go out with the guards and train with them. Ok.”
Ok mom.
After the short talk with his mom Michael hugged her and walk off to the study. “I bet Twilight is already there, she’ll help me if I get stuck, huh now that I think of it shes always the first one to help me.... *Gulp* what if she likes me..... Gross hahaha. na that would be dumb” After that brief chat with him self Michael arrived at the study and Twilight was there face deep in another book so Michael snuck behind her and tossed a book to the far side of the room witch startled Twilight out of her book based coma.
Epp! “What was that.” looking around Twilight spotted the book on the floor that wasn’t there before and got up to go take a look at the possessed book. Michael followed closely behind her staying quiet as possible till she got to the book then he taped her on the back and darted out in front of her as she tuned the other way to see who wanted her attention but nothing was there. “Whats going on here... well I’ll just.....” *Boo!* “AH! “Michael you jerk you scared to hay out of me!”
Oh I’m sorry Twilight I was only having some fun with you.
You me fun at my expense. Gees Michael what am I gonna do with you. Hahahaha.
Well wanna help me study and I won’t pick on you for a whole week? Come on please as soon as I’m done I’ll get to go out and play with the guards. Please...?
Well I don’t know... you did just scare me and that was pretty mean. I’ll tell you what. You do me a favor and I’ll help you out.
Sure!... Wait what is it?
I just want you go get me some food and something to drink I’m super hungry but i don’t wanna leave this book is to good.
Heh. Oh twi. sure I’ll be back in a jiffy but um what did you want?
Oh you know I didn’t even think about that, how about some hay bacon, eggs, and two pieces of celery.
OK I’ll be back as fast as I can.
Michael left the study and walk to the kitchen. “it’s so huge how am I gonna fine anything here.... Oh the chief he’ll make something for me.” “Hello!.. Hello!..” “Aww man he must be out... well it can’t be that hard to cook some bacon and eggs can it...” Searching for about five whole minutes Michael found all he was looking for and began to cook the eggs first. “I wander how Twilight likes her eggs, I’ll just have to remember to ask her later.” Next came the bacon greasy but smells great, was all Michael could think whale he cooked the food for Twilight. “Hmm I should make some for my self too I am pretty hungry..
After finishing the food Michael left the kitchen and saw Aunt Celestia walking trod the throne room.
Hey Michael who is all that for? Celestia asked.
Hey aunt Celestia, This is for Twilight and I.
Oh how sweet of you, such a genital colt you are.
What!.. But.. ah sure yea. heh Thank you. Oh and thank you for covering for mom so we can spend the whole week together. *Hug*
Heh your welcome Michael.
After that Celestia walked into the throne room and Michael head to the study where Twilight eagerly awaited her meal. “why thank you Michael your always good to me.” heh.
*blush* Wha... Uh yea sure heh here you go I had to make it my self because the chief wasn’t there. I hope you like it. heh
Oh..... Ewww it taste like poop.. I don’t want it.
Oh..... Really.... I’m... sorry...
Oh stop it tastes good and now we are even.
Hey! I thought me getting you food made us even...
Nope. But now we are.
After sharing a good laugh the two ate their food and began to study. After a few hours passed Michael was done thanks to Twilights help, he stood up hugged her and thanked her. Then took off to play with the guards out side.
All tho it was really training but it was so fun Michael just thought of it like playing. Aside from Twilight he didn’t really have any other friends and the guard treated him well. They encouraged him to work harder, faster and was always ready with much needed water or a towel to wipe off the hard earned sweat off his brow.
Out on the training grounds captain Blade Mane was shouting drill orders at the recruits. “Come on you call that fast! And you! You call that a push up get closer to the ground!”
Hey captain. Michael said, Interrupting him.
Hm. Ah yes I was beginning to wander when you would come out here today.
Yea I would have been here sooner but mom made me study.. it’s so boring you know.
Haha... Oh I know but it is very impotent. better to be a price that knows his people then a shut in that knows how to fight. A strong mind can better shape a strong body.
You sound just like my mom you know that. heh
We all look out for your well being my prince now come we have much to do.
After a long day of training Michael left the training yard sore. “I better get a nap in before mom raises the mom. I really don’t get that much time with her.”
Shortly after Michael laid down for a nap he slipped into the dream world...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prince! Prince get up!!! you have to address the troops. “huh?”
I said get up! *kick* Ow! “ok ok im up gees whats going on.” “Whoa how am i so tall... and and what am I wearing...” Yea yea it’s armor now come on we are in a state of emergency and the troops have to be addressed. Here is a copy of the field report. “huh... The Cervidas empier have taken the colony of seaddale... what? where is that.. hmm also ships have been spotted coming from the south heading to the main land.” Yes sir that all correct. We have reports form Gallopfrey that confirm it all sir.
What!? Michael stammered. Who are you any was?
Sir I’m you second in command Rain.......
(Michael!)
Wait did you here that?
(Michael!)
Ahm??.... What sir I didn’t hear anything.
(Michael!!) *thud*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ow! What was that for? Hey you better... Oh Twilight..
Sorry Michael but princess Luna is ready for you and she’s waiting at the gates for you.
Thanks Twilight.
Michael got dressed and ran down the the gate to meet his mother for their week long get away. “That dream... Michael thought to him self. It seemed to real... well I’ll ask mom about it later.”
Luna watched as her son came running up to the sky carriage panting. “did you run all the way here?”
Yea *huff* I didn’t *huff* wanna be late.
Heh. don’t worry we have all night to get there. Come sit next to me.
Ma’am are we ready to depart? A guard chimed in.
Yes Lieutenant Sky Eage, You may take off.
The carriage started rolling then lifted off the ground slowly crawling higher and higher then it broke though the clouds and reviled the most awing site of stars Michael had ever seen. His mom really pulled out all the stops. You could see the other planets of the solar system and even one or two galaxy's not to forget the sight of all the other stars.
Wow! Mom this is awesome. I had no idea you could make it so beautiful.
Hey give me some credit I am the moon princess after all and I’m glad you like it. On your birthday your really gonna be in for a treat.
Ow what is it? come one tell me please.
Heh. No no dear that would ruin the surprise. we have a lot to do this week and there is much fun to be had.
As the night began the carriage slowly coasted through the air to it’s destination. There first stop was at the mountain retreat Luna had built sometime ago. This was her favorite spot to go when she needed time to think or even just to get out of the castle. Aside from going to the moon this was the closest to the moon as anyone could get. The house was heated and maintained by Luna personal guards. These ponies here where the closes she had ever been to somepony and they acted more like friends and not just the run of the mill guards back at the castle. The house was decorated like her room back at the castle, symbols of the moon all around even the floor was made of chiseled moon rock. The floor had a almost silver ish blue tint to it and even glowed slightly when the moon prices was in the house.
Wow mom this is so amassing. I can’t believe this it’s just. Wow.
Heh. Glad to see someone like my tastes.
Ah welcome back Prices Luna. one of the attending guards said. and I see we final get the meet your son. Hello there I’m Night Glide.
Oh. Hello I’m Michael it’s nice to meet you Night Glide.
Hm. Very polite and not bad looking either. Night Glide commented
Now now Night Glide he’s not old enough for you yet “and just between you and me I think he’s got somepony who like him already.
Oh. Well there a lucky mare if they can hold on to him. He has a great destiny ahead of him. you can see it in those Blue eyes of his. Night Glide responded.
Hey what are you to talking about over there? Michael butted in.
Oh nothing sweet heart, why don’t you head up stairs and get your room set up how you want it and take Moon riser to help you.
Ok mom.. Come on Moon Riser you and I are the only guys in this place. Just a bunch of silly girls and there silly talks.
Oh no it’s not silly. They both know something. Moon riser said as they ascend the stairs.
After the two where safely upstairs and out of ear shot Luna continued her talk with Night Glide.
Ok we can talk more now just keep your voice down. So you could see it too then? Luna began.
Yes. I thought all of his kind were gone from these lands. Just the look of his eyes spells it all out. Anyone with a real eye for greatness will see it. Night Glide responded.
It’s the same thing captain Blade Mane told me when he first saw him even when Michael was still a baby. He even convinced me to let him train Michael three times a week. I guess He treats Michael like one of his own foals. Luna commented.
Blade Mane? You mean that colt finally grow up? Heh. It’s about time. Say. You wouldn’t happen to know if he’s single would you?
Why yes he is. Why? You want me to set you up with him? mmmm?.. Luna commented.
Wha! No!... I...I mean... It would be nice to see a old friend again. Last time we saw each other was when we were recruits. He was a bit immature back then but now he’s a caption now... I’m surprised... Moon Glide said with a hint of a blush on her face.
Ok I’ll write up the papers tomorrow and transfer you at the end of the week. I’ll put you in as his second in command. *wink* Luna gleefully added.
Oh no that won’t do I want to raise though the ranks to get there. If I don’t he won’t respect me as much. Night glide added.
Oh how can you be sure? Luna asked.
I just know it. He’s always been one to honer hard work over everything else. Night Glide said.
Hmm. Maybe thats why he’s taken quite a liking to Michael. He makes me proud. He even works hard at his studies. If you can believe that. Luna said.
As the night went on Luna continued to talk to Night Glide like two old friends catching up on years of events and life experiences they had. Whale up stair Moon Riser and Michael moved stuff around and talkrd about fun things to do around here. Moon Riser was a younger guard only about eightteen in human years.
Hey Moon Riser. Michael began. Have you ever got into a fight? Or had to restrain someone?
Well no but I did watch Night Glide kick some stallions flank in Tramplevania when we stopped there for supplies. Night Raider said with a hint of pride.
Really! That really cool. Why did she beat him up? Michael asked.
He tried to steal something right in front of us and then he even tried to fight back.Moon Riser said.
Must have been pretty exciting to watch? Michael responded.
Na it was quick. Not even ten seconds. Night Glide has been a guard for ten years now and she’s mastered Hoof to hoof combat. Moon Raiser said in a bragging tone.
Wow I’ve only seen Blade Mane fight and he’s the best of the castle guard maybe in the whole empire. Michael said.
Wait you know Blade Mane? He was my trainer when I was a young recruit. Now there is a stallion that can fight. I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Night Glide go at it. Moon Raiser said
I don’t know she’s a girl and I havn’t been to impressed by to many of them. Michael responded
SHHH!! Don’t let Night Glide hear you say that. She’ll turn you in side out. Moon Raiser said in a hushed tone.
“Turn who in side out. privet.”
Both of them jumped and shot around to find Night Glide in the door way.
Oh.. Uh... N... no one I was just telling Michael about the time you whopped that stallions flack in Tramplevania. Then he said Blade Mane was the strongest pony he’d seen. Moon Raiser stated
Ah yes your mom tells me you’ve been getting trained by Blade Mane him self. Pretty exciting, He’s a good pony to have as a personal trainer. Night Glide said.
Good? Michael began. He’s like the best fighter I’ve ever seen! Don’t tell my mom, but once he took me out on patrol and I watched him stop a gang of 6 ponies all by him self.
Heh. Blade Mane still got some spunk in his old bones huh. Anyways come on it’s time for dinner. Night Glide said.
Ok. The two said in unison.
