Nightmare Moon CH. 70 Disclaimer- My Little Pony Friendship is Magic belongs to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. The Earth completes its rotation and in eight minutes the light from the sun will reach the surface to wake Gilda from her sleep for the griffon is dreaming a dream her core has created instead of a flashback of Jun-Park. In this is dream Gilda is seeing the world through her own eyes where she is with her father in the Crystal Empire and what makes this dream automatically a dream is father wearing a crown on his head yes a crown on his head. Then Gilda’s vison on the surroundings become a blur because her head is turning to focus on a stallion whose coat is painted or pinto and hair is a magnificent blonde. The stallion hands her a rose and tells her he is in love with her making Gilda gasp with nothing that she can think up on the spot to be told she is the love of somebody’s life. But before she takes the rose from the stallion, an explosion rattles her balance and sadly her eyes follow the beautiful rose as it falls to the ground. “Gilda run!!” Gold Sky screams at her and takes out three attacking stallions of which after each give their last breaths they turn into silver dust… as for the painted stallion with the magnificent blonde hair, he curses for the death of his kin but will do anything to protect Gilda even though he has angered Ina Makóce making her take a physical form for Ina Makóce is who one will call mother nature or mother earth in english and Gold Sky with his eyes glowing crimson red steps in her way to protect Gilda and the stallion from the wrath of mother earth because Gold Sky may be Chero but will not hesitate to fight the Earth itself and frankly he does not care at all. However, with twenty seven seconds left before the light wakes Gilda, Ina Makóce is here to keep the bloodlines of her children pure for she made the past mistake of letting the Chero follow their hearts so this time she will not let that same mistake happen again even if it means to put an end to that Griffon but she did not expect one of the last Cheros will stand before her to protect the Griffon and with such power as well. For the Children of Earth, Gilda, the Stallion who fell in love with Gilda, Gold Sky, and Ina Makóce made a mistake. And for sure it isn’t Gold Sky nor Gilda. Nevertheless, is this really a dream that her core has created or just a window into the future the Great Spirit has decided to give her knowing she will think this is just a dream and he will chuckle to Gilda’s insight. Only time will tell and the sunlight finally touches Gilda. *yawn* “Oh what a weird dream.” Gilda tells herself after a nice stretch. “Ha!” Chuckles the Great Spirit. Gilda wakes up Redheart and Sweetie Belle with gently shakes. “Good morning Redheart.” The white mare who for the moment has her nice pink hair undone smiles to see her dear granddaughter right now. “Oh Gilda, come here please.” Gilda approaches Redheart to get a loving hug. “My dear granddaughter, I’m still happy to know I’m a grandmother and to keep you from getting your hopes up, I-I uhmmm don’t bake cookies.” Gilda tilts her head to this out of the normal confession but comes to realization when she passively thought about the fresh homemade cookies a grandmother will bake for her grandchild. “OH! Well that’s okay grandmother and is it alright if I can you grandmother?” The Griffon starts to rub her arm in a quiet touch of nervousness. “I-I-I am still adjusting to this, uhmm having a grandmother, b-because always been me and my daddy…plus a adoptive mother for that decade without daddy but it has always been me and my daddy and I thought that’s all there is to my family. Just me and my daddy, surely you do understand do you grandmother?” Redheart nods in place of saying words. “I-I just want to be with father, so hopefully err I mean I pray you don’t mind if I don’t see you often at first though I am glad to be loved by you grandmother. A grandmother, something that now I have when I thought everything that was needed I already had, just how can you love my daddy as a son though?” “Compassion Gilda, I felt compassion for him Gilda when he was only a child and after his parents died…” “Daddy’s parents died!!???” Gilda interrupts. “Wait…!” Ooh yes, so much for the prospect of meeting the grandfather, so much for that. “I don’t understand?” Sudden confusion takes Gilda by storm. Redheart cuts to the chase in this on the grounds that it is best if Gilda hears everything from Gold Sky rather than her. “His parents died of the T8 encephalic virus prompting me to feel compassion for the youngster and I wanted to adopt so I can raise him as my own and well, I couldn’t have children of my own along with the one stallion that I truly loved died four centuries ago but sadly Gold Sky’s birthmother asked Princess Celestia to take him under her nurturing wing knowing that a wise mare will help Gold Sky become a wise stallion. Still, I continued loving Gold Sky as my son and he loves me given how he’s very, very loving though the moments I treasure in my heart are the moments he’ll come to me for wise counsel plus to take a whiff of my hair, oh my dear son and his habit to sniff the scents of the ones he loves, ahem going back. I will answer whatever questions he had in mind allowing me in a certain perspective to do what mothers do?” Redheart ends with a question like tone of voice. “Which is what grandmother?” Gilda asks. “Answer whatever question a son will have.” Gilda’s eyes shift to the side to block out a rising thought when the word adopted was said by Redheart and her mission to block out anything that may have her think that she’s adopted by father. Sweetie Belle rubbing her eyes asks Redheart if she’s going to cook breakfast. “Sweetie Belle!” Gilda hisses at the filly. “Grandmother doesn’t have to make you breakfast and you say please too!” “Oh! Please…” The little filly doesn’t feel good to be under the serious stare of her much older niece. Redheart waves off Sweetie Belle’s little rude moment with a smile. “Don’t worry Gilda, I don’t mind cooking breakfast.” Gilda nonetheless, shakes her head. “It’s alright grandmother for me you don’t have to cook a thing, I going home so father can cook me the meals he’ll always cook for me.” *ting* “Uhm grandmother, I wonder, can you please tell me how saddened father was when his parents died?” In this Redheart shakes her head without taking a moment to think in how to describe Gold Sky’s pain. “It’s best if you ask him yourself Gilda, there are some things that I cannot explain.” Gilda nods and decides it’s time to head back to father but suddenly she feels the urge to tell something that she thinks needs to be told to the mare that loves daddy as her son. “Grandmother, I-I flogged father two hundred times.” Redheart hides her gasp along with being rather quiet by not asking for details. “For the sake of Sweetie Belle who I know okay not know but think is in the dark about this so I will go to Gold Sky knowing he will tell me everything I need to know.” Instead a hoof is placed on Gilda’s shoulder. “There’s no need to tell me that my dear granddaughter.” With that said Redheart hugs Gilda to wish her a good day. “So Sweetie Belle, do you feel like eating a bowl of cereal or a bagel?” “What!!?” Cereal or a bagel of all things! Humph, Sweetie Belle prefers the warmth of freshly cooked meal rather that something instant but bland to her taste. “Cereal or a bagel! Are you being serious?” “Yes I’m serious Sweetie Belle so what will it be?” Sweetie Belle makes up her mind. “On second thought maybe I’ll go home instead.” And leave the filly does of course with a nice good bye. Redheart laughs. “You should have said please Sweetie Belle.” Then the white mare turns to make her way to her room given how her unkempt hair needs a good brushing until a emergence of anger erupts forcing to her throw a vase at the wall. “HOW DARE SHE FLOG MY SON!!” Though as fast as the anger came it went away. “Oh Gilda you’ll always be my granddaughter.” *** In Sweet Apple acres, Applejack can’t help but remember the warm comfort Dj Pon 3 sprinkled on when the white mare wrapped her arms around Applejack’s neck when the Element of Honesty couldn’t contain herself in the little café. “Chero.” The orange earth pony called out. “Yes Applejack?” Chero responds. In the safety of a locked room Applejack feels the upmost comfort to speak to the sentient touch of the Chero where in the mixture of the thousands of voices one is her mother whom she rarely thinks of. “You know Ah can’t hold it in. Ah, Ah want to confess my encounter to somebody, what you want is something Ah cannot do. Please understand Ah need to confess to anypony! Somepony, just anypony Chero!” Chero understands Applejack’s necessity and sort of expected this on the long run once the little date with Dj Pon 3 allowed the mare to open up more to life changing change. “Oh Applejack I understand your conflict, so please tell me who you wish to confess your guilt to.” Applejack thinks to narrow down her list to the right ponies she can confess her encounter. “Time Turner! He wrote this book!” Applejack gets the book from the shelve. ‘How to confess your guilt- By Dr. Whooves. (Hey don’t blame the supplier, blame the demand!)’ Chero contemplates Applejack’s suggestion. “Well yes he is a shrink but do you feel right confessing to a total stranger.” Well if Chero puts it that way then perhaps Time Turner is not somepony to confess to especially if she remembers right she did hit on his wife. “Yes, I’m glad you remembered his wife by the way.” Chero complements. “Ehh Ah’m trying to forget that, anyway, uhhhhh AAH!” Somepony really special comes to mind. “Rainbow Dash!!! Ahh yes I can confess to Rainbow Dash.” “Do you want to be laughed at in your face Applejack, yes Rainbow Dash is your friend but her softness which you currently seek right now is mostly or totally if I just be blunt, reserved for Rarity. Also she’ll be quite certain you were the one who instigating the encounter with the egg head Twilight Sparkle along with be asked if you’re chasing mares who are way smarter than you because you think they’ll be easy.” Unfortunately, Applejack has no choice but to scratch off Rainbow Dash from her immaterial list. “Fluttershy??” “No.” Amazing how Chero just straight up says no without offering a explanation for it has an ulterior motive to punish Twilight Sparkle and for seeing Gold Sky turn into silver dust thanks to the doing of the lavender mare. “Applejack you and I both know who we need to confess to.” “Braeburn!” Applejack blurts out. “Yes, wait what!?” Chero almost said yes to Applejack’s thrown out suggestion. “I said Braeburn Chero.” “No not him Applejack, but for real we both know who needs to hear your confession my dear.” With the voice of a fair minded mare Chero is able to get its point across to the orange mare. Applejack finally comes to her dag nag senses to the right pony. “Big McIntosh?” “Yes him my dear Applejack.” With the voice of a soft spoken stallion Chero confirms Applejack’s selection. “But never fear my dear, I’m here with you so you don’t have to confess to him alone. I’m here, I’m here.” Applejack sighs in relief to be comforted by Chero and of course, courage surges inside of her prompting another sigh though this one has confidence like Twilight getting prepared to study about the genetics of pea plants. “Will Big Macintosh believe me?” “If I didn’t think he’ll believe you then will I encourage you to confess to him and besides he loves you very much even if he does not approve of your lifestyle.” All right Applejack feels so much better now, so she heads downstairs to find big brother but instead finds big brother busy in a game of chess with Bon Bon where it looks like Big Mac might get his last pawn to Bon Bon’s side. “Big Macintosh.” Applejack now has second thoughts seeing that big brother is playing chess. “Hey, hey don’t you start getting second thoughts Applejack.” Chero reprimands. Queen me hahaha! Ahem, yes Applejack?” Big Macintosh turns his complete attention to little sister. As if this couldn’t just go down south Bon Bon shifts her attention from the board to Applejack making Applejack feel that nervous warmth rise. “Big Macintosh can you please come with me to my room, Ah, Ah want to tell something you need to know.” “You can tell me what you want to tell me right here Applejack.” Applejack shakes her head. “Bon Bon is right there big brother and Ah don’t want her to hear this.” “Huh?” Big Macintosh looks over to Bon Bon almost forgetting that she be family to him she isn’t family to Applejack. “Oh yes, sorry Applejack, Ah’m coming.” Both ponies head to the room and once the door is closed Applejack takes another sigh showing that three is the perfect number for these types of situations. “Big brother, there’s something Ah want to tell you something and please Ah beg you to please listen to me before saying anything.” Big Macintosh takes in the somber tone in Applejack’s voice, he hasn’t heard this tone in little sister for a long time and he knows she feels guilty for something she’s committed. “Tell me Applejack, Ah’m listening.” Hopefully, the stallion thinks Applejack is going to say something equating change. “Don’t be afraid.” Chero reminds her one last time. “Big Macintosh, Twilight Sparkle, uh, brother, Twilight Sparkle made me…sh-she made me, made me do it with her.” At last Applejack confessed her encounter and feels the joy of being free from the guilt. Though her joy is expected it cannot be reflected on the stallion who instead is disgusted once again and cannot stand the gall Applejack will have to tell him she did it with Twilight along with a guilty voice like she really feels bad for having sex. “So you had sex with Twilight Sparkle and Ah’m suppose to care much less feel bad because you’re sounding guilty while you tell me this. Oh why bother telling me Applejack, you can go and do whoever you want because Ah know that you’re just a mare who will never change and Ah will stop trying. Why did you have to tell me this Applejack when Ah having a good mood today.” “Don’t stop.” Chero’s voice echoes in Applejack’s mind. “But Big Macintosh you must listen to me, Ah truly feel so ashamed and please Ah just want some kind of comfort from you.” Applejack frowns. “You’re my brother, the only father figure Ah have now and who can Ah turn to when Ah feel so downcast…” Interrupted. “Oh don’t try to get my sympathy Applejack but let me guess you finally caught a STD.” Big Mac knew this day will eventually come. “What!!? No Ah didn’t catch a STD, but please you must understand Big Mac…” Sadly interrupted again. “Understand what! That somehow Twilight Sparkle forced you to have sex with her and expect me to believe you in that load of hogwash well guess what Applejack, like hell Ah’ll be dumb enough to believe you.” Chero quickly aids Applejack by rapidly helping her pronounce one word that will change everything. “She used her telepath uh mind magic on me.” *ting* It took some research on the stallion’s part to realize the full capabilities telepathy has on anyone especially used to make anyone do their bidding. “Telopath!” “It’s telepath Big Macintosh.” Applejack couldn’t help but just correct the red stallion. “Shut up.” The stallion thinks until deducing what needs to be done upon knowing Applejack is telling the truth and has been forced to have sex with Twilight Sparkle. “Come Applejack, we’re going to the Crystal Empire!” “Why Big Macintosh?” Applejack asks for the sake of asking. The stallion pushes his sister out of the room. “To have a word with Shining Armor, that’s why! Now anymore questions you want to ask!!” Wow, Big Macintosh sounds pretty angry at this point like any father will sound when his children are inflicted with terrible acts. To witness this protective anger from big brother will pretty much eliminate any urge to ask another question. “No Ah’m good.” However, before leaving and with a super soft voice Big Mac informs Bon Bon he’ll be right back so she should stay put for a few hours until he returns from the Crystal Empire. “Well can you bring me a souvenir?” Bon Bon has been to the Crystal Empire by the way in case anypony is wondering. “Of course.” Big Macintosh takes some bits to pay for the train tickets and the gift shop in the Crystal Empire. Once in the train Applejack sits next to Big Mac who totally isn’t in the mood to say a single word to which can be seen on his serious face. “Hey Chero, Ah've never seen Big Macintosh this serious before so should Ah be afraid of him right now??” Chero nearly scoffs to such a question about fearing someone who loves another. “To ask such a question Applejack will be like asking if a child should be afraid of its own mother or father. He’s very angry right now Applejack but not at you, he’s angry for Twilight Sparkle inflicting her will upon you plus feeling a bit ashamed of himself for not believing you at first.” "Oh.” Applejack shifts her eyes to look up at Big Mac who does not feel her soft gaze but yet even with his seriousness Applejack can’t help but lay her head on his shoulder to comfort herself by feeling the stallion who is doing the honorable thing right now. Big Macintosh feeling Applejack leaning on his shoulder kisses his sister's head to show his love is present and strong. “Ah love you very much Applejack.” He lays his chin on Applejack’s head and closes his eyes while he smiles because it’s rare to have tender loving moments with his little sister. *** “Wow, Ah can’t believe the ground is made of crystal.” Big Mac says to Applejack. “Hehe this is pretty amazing.” He taps the ground to enjoy the glasslike sounds. “Ahem, oh, ahem palace! Right there! Now!” Both reach the gates guarded by two stallions to where has the crystal anatomy and the other does not have the crystal anatomy. “Hey Applejack you take care of this.” Big Mac whispers to little sister. “Why?” “Because you can go in, in the cover to have an audience with Princess Cadance for she knows you well then you will request for Prince Shining Armor’s presence allowing me to take over from there.” “Whoa what a nice idea you came up with Big Mac.” Applejack whispers in amazement to this thought up plan. “Ah will like to see Princess Cadance and this here is my brother who wants to see the Princess.” The guard with the crystal anatomy personally leads the way for Applejack and Big Macintosh to the throne where luckily for the two or in this case three of them she is there for the guard didn’t know if she will be there given how the Princess isn’t very expressive in where she’ll be at any time. “Applejack welcome to the Crystal I’m glad to see you.” “Ahem.” Big Macintosh makes the Princess notice him. “Oh you must be Applejack’s big brother, Big Macintosh. Nice to meet you at last.” Cadance delivers such a fine greeting to the red stallion who to the blind eye has a solid smile but to the all seeing eye is forcing his smile. “Augh what!” Applejack gets elbowed. “Oh yeah! Princess err Ah mean Cadance you please call Prince err Ah mean Shining Armor here please. We wish to see him that is if you don’t mind.” Thank goodness Applejack didn’t stutter making a fool of herself. Princess Cadance doesn’t see anything wrong with Applejack’s request but also feels a bit ashamed to Shining Armor not sitting on his throne by her. “Yes, let me get him.” “Shiny my love, Applejack, Twilight’s friend will like to see you.” Telepathy makes things so much easier. *poof* The stallion appears with a beautiful flash of blue. “Okay get out of my way Applejack!” Big Macintosh can finally get his grievance thrown into the ears of the Prince. “Shining Armor, there’s something Ah’m going to tell you and you won’t believe me but like my late good friend Gold Sky Ah am an honorable stallion so Ah will not make up such grave news Shining Armor and now to the point. The reason Ah’m here is to tell you that your little sister Twilight Sparkle used her telopath mind magic to force my little sister Applejack to have sex with her!!!” Everything goes quiet to the point where even a magical plus random appearing pin were to drop it will not break the silence still it will funny for a magical plus random pin to just drop in this tense moment. “Twilight did what!?” Shining Armor has to hear this just to be sure he heard what he think he heard. “Ah said your little sister that little adorable yet evil angel used her telopath mind magic to make Applejack have sex with her!!” “I-is th-this true??” Cadance nervously asks Applejack. Big Mac gives Applejack a quick glance to keep her silent. “She is the Element of Honesty your majesties and we all know she is incapable of lying much less making such bullocks like this.” Well in that Big Macintosh has provided a very valid point. “He’s right.” Cadance admits with trembling flow. “Applejack cannot lie and…” Oh how Cadance wants to tell the red stallion Gold Sky is alive but with that scary Princess of the night is dark and full of terror looming about then she can’t tell him. “Like he said about Gold Sky being a very honorable stallion Big Macintosh too is very honorable so I whole heartily believe him about Twilight doing something drastically insane to pleasure herself with Applejack.” But while Cadance speaks her acceptance in the red stallion’s words Shining Armor screams out denial in the red stallion’s words but not in their authenticity but in what those words declare about Twily. “With a mare!!” Shining Armor screams. “Twilight will do this with a mare! A mare of all things!!!” Well clearly it can be applied that Shining Armor is disgusted. “A mare! Twilight can’t be into mares no, no, no, no this isn’t possible! DAMN IT!!” *sigh* “And she will engage in premarital sex tarnishing not only the honor of this poor victim but mine as well! Damn it, I can’t believe Twilight will be something like this.” He growls in discontent. “Uhhhhh…” Cadance can’t say anything about Shining Armor’s anger in Twilight doing this to Applejack and being into mares. “Applejack…” Interrupted by Shining Armor. “Cadance my love I will handle this act of injustice inflicted on Applejack for Twilight is my sole concern.” Never thought Shining Armor can quiet down a Pure Immortal like Cadance to take matters into his own hooves. Cadance for the first time experiences this complete surprising seriousness from her husband and feels rather overwhelmed to be on the passive receiving end knowing Twilight will be on the furious receiving end soon. “You two come with me please.” Shining Armor takes them to a windowless room where the only source of light a shining yellow crystal hanging down on a thin wire. “Applejack, how do you feel from being used by my sister like this?” Applejack gets close to Big Mac to feel him and become much more secure as she reveals her pain to the Prince. “Ah feel so ashamed your majesty used, dirty, and hurt because Ah used to be a predatory promiscuous mare and Ah am trying to change Ah want to be a better mare, Ah want to devote myself to the pony Ah love.” “Wow what a lucky stallion.” Wow he’s in for another surprise. A thick red line travels across Applejack’s face because she will disgust the Prince. “I-It’s not a stallion Ah’m changing for, Ah-Ah’m changing for a mare.” *Very disappointed groan* “You too, whatever, I want you to stand right there in the shadows. Big Macintosh you will also be in the shadows but stay put and I will have a surprise for my misbehaved sister.” Shining Armor covers himself with a lead lined blanket to shield him from the effects of the dark matter collar hovers in front of him. “You see I heavily believe one must be held accountable for their action though don’t get me wrong I love my little sister Twilight Sparkle very much but what she did is something I will never tolerate at all! Premarital sex with you and with a mare!! Even if it was with a stallion, I’ll still be furious like I am right now. She will not get away this so now I ask you Applejack how do you desire justice to be delivered.” Applejack thinks, looks to Big Macintosh, then goes back to thinking, looks at Prince Shining Armor, back to thinking, looks at the collar of dark matter, and finally thinks of the justice Twilight rightfully deserves. “Ah want her to feel the pain Ah felt when Ah woke up that morning.” Shining Armor’s left eyebrow arches up. “Literally?” “Literally.” Applejack confirms. “Very well, then it shall be that way. Cadance my love, tell Twilight to get over here.” Shining Armor knows Cadance can hear him with her telepathy. Cadance does as she is asked and telepathy requests well not requests demands Twilight to teleport here and Twilight obeys without question for the lavender mare will never turn down a chance to see her sister-in-law. “Cadance!!” Twilight squeals in delight. “I’m glad you called me!!” Of course is obviously occurring right now but Cadance is distraught for Twilight’s action so a hug from her isn’t happening. “Twilight your brother wishes to see you in the last room on the left.” Cadance has no emotion in her voice. “Do it now please.” Twilight without a hint of asking a question goes to the room to see it has no windows but has a door that just closes by itself. “Huh??” “Little Sister.” Shining Armor emerges from the shadows. “You disappoint me in ways only you can imagine.” “What!!??” Twilight completely dumbfounded has no idea how she disappointed her big brother. “Hey why did you put a collar of dark matter on me!?” Add confusion into the picture too. “What’s going on? Shining Armor please tell me what’s going on, I don’t understand.” “Wow…” The stallion snorts. “You commit an injustice against Applejack and continue going on like nothing happened and why mares Twilight? Why mares?? You had me all worked up when you spoke about Celestia’s son liking you and I thought wow! Little sis is going to get herself a fine stallion but instead she’s going after mares just bloody great but I can probably overlook that since YOU forced Applejack your friend to have sex with you. Sex outside of marriage that is.” Shining Armor steps back into the shadows. “Very dishonorable and worthy to be held one hundred percent accountable.” Applejack steps out of the shadows without her hat. “Twilight you hurt me and it’s fair for you to know how Ah feel.” “What the hell do you mean by that?” Twilight asks. “Ah am going to lay down the smack down.” With those words spoken all that Cadance can hear from the other side of the door the sounds of Twilight being held accountable. “I better take my mind off of this and just focus on brother covering little Rarity with his wing.” *** All alone in the train Big Macintosh takes Applejack into his arms to comfort her as she begins crying for being free of the guilt for keeping the encounter secret for so long in her mind for so long is a torture like the pain from a chronic sickness. “It’s okay Applejack, hey, hey, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Big Mac kisses Applejack head to comfort her as she softly cries on his shoulder. “Ah’m sorry for not believing you at first Applejack forgive me.” The fact that Big Macintosh believes her is all the reason she needs to forgive him. “Ah forgive you big brother, thank you, for doing this.” “You’re my sister Applejack and Ah’ll do anything to protect from harm…Ah love you very much.” “Ah love you too Big Mac.” *** “Here.” Shining Armor throws an ice pack at Twilight’s face. “It’ll quell the swelling.” And removes the collar of dark matter. “How can you do that to me Shining Armor!” Twilight collects the saliva and blood in her mouth and spits it out. Shining Armor growls under his breath. “You committed an injustice against Applejack Twilight and I will make sure you are held accountable not because I’m a prince but because I’m your older brother. But what’ really disturbing is you being upset for this when you should be upset at yourself for doing this. How can you come this low when mother, father, and Princess Celestia have taught you their values, you are protector of Equestria, you are the closest thing Cadance has like a sister, and you are my sister! So tell me how you can come this low, tell me!!” Twilight Sparkle looks away from Shining Armor to show him the tenacity she has to tell Shining Armor she owes him no explanation. Shining Armor sharply exhales magical steam into Twilight’s face. “Fine, get out of my sight Twilight and don’t even think of visiting Cadance until I say so otherwise you will regret it.” A bolt of pain strikes the center of Twilight’s core to be smeared all over with Shining’s anger. “But…!” “NOW!!” He roars. *Poof* Twilight teleports back home. Shining Armor walks out to the hallway to join Cadance but gets overtaken by emotion to little sister’s tenacity. “Oh bloody hell! For the first time in my life I can’t believe I’ll say this but how can Twilight act like a wretch!” His right hoof pounds the floor. Cadance lovingly rubs his chin to calm him down. “Shining Armor my dear it’s done.” “Yes you’re right my love.” Shining Armor calms down thanks to his dear wife. “Oh the things I do out of love.” *** In the palace Delta Scorch is clearly asleep despite his brave attempt to stay awake all night long to watch over his dear mother though who can blame him when during the day he trained hard with his kukri daggers and spared with Fleur just to make sure Helo Fox won’t get the chance to do so or Helo Fox will take the sparring session as an opportunity to flirt with the classy mare. Luna finally wakes up with the faint pricks of a headache thanks to consuming a heck load of wine mixed with vodka; she looks around the room to find Rainbow Dash but ends up discovering Delta Scorch instead. “Delta…” The mare meekly whispers. “My son…” The stallion’s ears slowly twitch to the sound of mother’s voice. “Huh, what??” He shakes his head to completely wake up. “Oh mother! You’re awake.” Delta carefully gives his mother a hug just so he won’t make her morning go sour in case she woke up sour thanks to being drunk. “Are feeling well?” Luna tightens her grip around Delta while in a strange turn of her own events decides to sniff Delta’s hair the way will her nephew will smell her hair. “Your hair smells good my son so good and I feel okay though a bit bleh like totally bleh but it’ll do.” Delta smiles to mother feeling well along with feeling kind of funny to having his hair sniffed the way a blood hound will sniff. “That’s good to know mother.” “Mother??” A voice takes away the sweetness of the hug. “Luna did he call you mother??” Rainbow Dash asks. Caught in the most unfortunate timing, Luna hoped to tell Rainbow Dash about Delta Scorch but well she might as well do it now. “Yes Rainbow Dash. I am Delta Scorch’s mother.” “Heh, it’s a long story isn’t it.” Already Rainbow figures Luna is going to tell her about Delta. “Oh go away if you’re going to be like that.” Luna scolds. “Help me get to my hooves Delta.” Delta helps mother get on all fours. “You do know that I like listening to your voice Luna.” Rainbow exclaims as she makes herself comfy on a cushion. “I hate it when you do that.” Thus Luna follows Rainbow’s cue. Delta on the other hoof is just curious about the type of relationship between mother and Rainbow Dash but it will be rude to delay mother from telling Rainbow Dash a nice long story. “Hmmm is Rainbow Dash hitting on mother??” Oh it’s a little too late to think of that when Rainbow wasn’t the one doing the hitting…flirting, no courting sounds much better, way better. --- Oh my dearest subjects it's been a rather long time since I wrote a chapter and the reasons why I haven't written a chapter in oh so long are classes, target practice, studying, R&R for myself. more R&R, more target practice, plus some more R&R into the mix. I had such a nice time. Anywho, in the previous chapter I have noticed FoxofRarity have left out some commentary he wanted to include so I will indulge all of you. The reason why he used the name Lucy for Lucy Mount is in his opinion thinks the actress Lucy Liu is really great as an voice actress given how she has done some or maybe a lot of work in voice acting.
