Well, it had been a good night since the talent show and all. Drake had a swell fun time and he actually enjoyed playing. The crown actually helped him out. He felt that he could find a talent in music making.  Walking along side Luna rubbing his tiny arm. "Hey Mommy... What happened to Grandma or Grandpa?" He questioned her. Drake had always wondered that. How he never saw or heard about them. Luna and Celestia seemed really alone after all which sorta confused him seeing how they are happy with eachother. And like Celestia said, her world was much more better once that Drake came around. As well that she could be more happier now that she has a true family. Drake could sense the sadness in Luna's sockets how they seemed so hard. Sighing she stopped trotting. 

"Drake... We... Don't know if we want so speak such a topic. Tis a hard subject." She replied, eyes gandering at the moon itself. Leaving Drake still confused about what she was even going on about. He figured that they left them or something bad. It had to be bad! If it wasn't, why wouldn't Luna talk about it? Resting his tiny fingers on her foreleg frowning at her said reply. "Mommy, I won't make you go on, but I need to know a little bit since I am still your son after all. Shouldn't I get to know?" Luna shook her head. Mane flowing much slower as of now. 

"Drake, we understand such quench for knowledge. But such topics aren't meant to be asked. Such like this." Luna wrapped her wing around the child. "We just can't find the heart to talk about it, deary. As much as we want to, Tis not a easy subject." Giving his forehead a kiss on the head. "W-we shall tell thou when we are ready. But not now." She softly explained to him. Drake lightly flustering at her kiss. "Mooom! We're still in public!" He whined. Drake scrunching his face up. Luna lightly giggling. "We don't mind at all. Tis that thou are so adorable!" Nuzzling his cheek with the bridge of her nose. "Mommy!" 

Luna was just too happy about teasing the child. "We could just tickle this little belly of yours." She said. "Mommy, no! I'm ticklish there!" He exclaimed. The little boy giggling.  Luna bringing the child close. "We know thou are." She said. She knew that it would be weird in Public. So in a sense she would teleport the two into her bedroom. Drake coughing lightly. Teleporting has never been his thing in his opinion. "Who's our sweet little colt?" She cooed playfully.  Drake squirming a bit. 

"I am." He murmured.  "Louder." She said lifting his shirt up with her magic. "Mommy!" He exclaimed. "We didn't hear thoooou." She rambled as she towered over the child. "I am..." He said still murmuring. Although slightly louder. Luna would crack this child with tickles and love. "We'll do this until thou says who's our adorable colt!" She said bringing her muzzle to the child's belly blowing onto it, mKing a raspberry sound. ThT obviously making Drake giggle louder. "Aaaah! Mommaamaah!" He began toaugh a slight bit louder. "Aaaa!" She wouldn't let go of Drake until he said those magic words.

"I'm your adorahhahah!" He couldn't say it. It was his main ticklish spot. She stopping for a brief moment. "Mmm... If that won't make you say it then we guess we'll have to try another way." She said as she lifted his legs up, two magical feathers being summouned. Beginning to tickle him again. Now on his little feet that curled to the touch of the magical feathers. "Aaahahahaaa! Momma NOOO!" He continued to laugh and giggle. "All thou has to say is the magic woooord." 

"I-I am your AHAHA! Adorable colt!" He exclaims. Her satisfied, the mother mare let go of the child.  "Hee... Heee... Haaaa." He curled into a ball on her bed smiling. "You sure know to tickle me, mommy." He said as she brought the 8 year old to her forelegs, almost cradling the child to her chest as her back rested againist the bed. "We love thou so much. Even more then Equestria itself." The child nodding. "I know mommy. I love you too." He said yawning. "Ooo? Is our little foal sleepy?" Bringing his head to rest against her chest, low thumps of her beating heart against his ear. Such a majestic sound to listen to. 

"Hush, prince Of our night... We wish thou a gentllle sleep. Rest now, sweet dream come away. Let love and gentle clouds soooothe thou." She sang, not realizing that the door was open from the tickling to her gentle lullaby she sang to her colt. And standing there was BlueBlood himself. Scowling at such a royal such as Luna. Oh how he hated that child from the start. Such a spoiled brat in his opinion. BlueBlood wanted this child gone. Out of royalty life. Because that's all Luna or Celestia talk about anymore. 'Drake this, or Drake that!' He became so sick of him! So, he decided to he rid of this human once and for all. And he knew exactly how to do that. Trotting away with the most heinish smirk on his face a stallion could pull. He knew it was dastardly.

Whilst back with Luna, the child fell into a deep, low slumber against the chest of Luna. Her hooves stroking his hair with every breath. Wrapping her legs around the child she yawned herself. It may had been 4:34 P.M, but she knew it wouldn't hurt to nap a few hours before she could raise the moon. Her baby colt in her arms. "Goodnight Drake. Have sweet dreams." She muffled in his chocolate brown hair. Because she'd soon visit them if they were to turn horrible again at all.
