I woke up and all I wanted was a cherry and gem salad (living with a dragon as a dad may help/get you to develop a taste for gems) for breakfast and a strange urge to see Solar. I shoved away the thought and focused on my hungering state. I doubt I can get the cherries though. I wander into the kitchen\dining room, I got dad to dig it out so I could make us meals before he wakes up, but to my surprise, dad had got up and made ME a Cherry and Ruby salad.
After I was done being shocked I smiled at him, "thanks dad" I say super sincerely "I love you" then I start to eat.
"You're welcome sweetie and I love you too." He replies then his face goes serious (which tends to be A BAD SIGN but not always) "last night I heard you sing about that colt." He sighed. "Your...instinct isn't kicking in...is it?"
"I just have this feeling kinda like my draconic ones but about a living being" I say. If you are wondering, yes living with a dragon as a parent will MOST-LIKELY get you the hoarding instinct though it is first taught on how to control it, soon enough it becomes a part of you.
Dad takes a bite of his 'grilled' amber on obsidian samwitch, yeah, it's just a couple pieces of amber in between to piece of obsidian that he breathed fire on. "I'm not talking about that dear." he says. "I'm asking if you have any feeling for him."
I choked on part of my salad, my cheeks would of been bright red if I didn't have a mostly black coat as I looked back to him. "Wha- what?!" I stutter. "No! We're just ...friends... that's all." My voice sounded sad when I thought of Solar and I being just friends.
Dad then quickly adds "well whatever you do just remember," he walks up to me and gives me a noogie. "You'll always be my lil' hatch-ling."
I sigh, pushing away his arm, "that's okay since I'll always be your lil hatching girl, but can I go to the everfree today?" I play my trip card and give him my big ol' puppy dog eyes.
Sure enough, he caved. "Sure sweetie, but wouldn't it be better if I take you over to his house? I know you'll be trying to find... Sonar ...I think it was" he says
"His name is Solar." I state "but yeah, I'd love it if you could take me there."
Dad rolls his eyes before saying, "okay, Solar. I can drop you off at his castle"
I leaped into the air and did a happy dance, yelling, "YES PLEASE DADDA PLEASE YES"
"After you finish your breakfast." He adds.
I don't remember eating so fast in my entire life. Once I finish eating, I hop on my dads back and he takes me to Ponyville. As we soar through the air I watch from a distance as we pass homes and houses. Then it comes in sight, Solar's home. The bright big shining castle of friendship. My dad lands in front of the entrance and drops me off. I thank him and he leaves. Once I'm done waiving him bye I approach the castle door with a spring in my step.
I knock on the door and wait. The door unlocked and was opened up by an orange Pegasus with a spiky blue mane and eyes. I think it must've been Solar's dad.
He looked down at me and asked, "can I help you?"
"Yes." I responded . "I'm looking for Solar Sentry. My name is Lunar, how do you do."
"Your his friend huh." The Pegasus extended his hoof, I shook it. "Names Flash Sentry. I'm his dad."
"Pleasure to meet ya." I smiled cheekily. Flash let me in and walked me through the halls.
"I didn't know that Solar was gonna have two friends over." Flash muttered.
"Two?" I asked.
We walked up to a double door. "Solar is in there. I'll leave both of you alone, just don't wreck the place okay?"
"Can do." I smiled as Flash walked away. I turned back to the double door and took a deep breath. Slowly I opened the door and entered the room.
There I saw him. Solar Sentry. Shining with an aura that made me feel warm and filled me with happiness. I could feel my heart beating faster just looking at him. It was like looking at an angel.
Then I saw her.
Next to Solar. MY Solar. Was a filly unicorn, with light blue fur, purple eyes and a silver mane with the back tied into a bow. She wore a pair of reading glasses as she read some book. Solar turned to me with a surprised look.
"Lunar!" He sounded shocked. "What a surprise, I didn't expect seeing you here."
I looked back to Solar, my smile returned. "Hi Solar. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I just couldn't wait to see you."
"Who's the crazed Luna fan?" The mare asked, looking up from her book.
I looked at her with an innocent smile on the outside. But on the inside I was yelling words that ponies should never speak. "My name is Lunar Star. I'm Solar's best friend. Who might you be?" I asked. 'You self centered friend stealing...twat!' I mentally cursed.
"Names Star Shine." The mare extended her hoof, looking back to her book. "Solar's student."
"Solar's ... student." I think my heart has a crack in it.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner Lunar." Solar apologized. "Star is the daughter of one of my moms friends, and since she's ...well... kinda shy when it comes to conversations. My mom thought it'd be best if I help her out."
"I didn't want to at first. But after learning the advantages of being Solar's friend I decided to stay." Star Shine said, not looking up from her book.
That one word caught my attention. "Stay...what do you mean by that?" I asked.
"I'm going to be living here for a week." Star Shine answered.
Living here. With Solar. MY Solar. For a week! Not if I have anything to say about it. "Yeah well...I'm going to be living here too!"
Both Solar and Star Shine looked at me perplexed. "You are?" They both asked.
"I am." I said firmly. "It seems fair, seeing as how I need help on my magic skills as well."
"But Lunar." Solar protested. "Star is only here because she needs help on finding friends. You're more than capable of doing that."
He had me there. "True. But I'm terrible with magic, and I need a teacher. And you're like, the best magic wielder I know."
"But-"
"Please let me stay." I begged, giving him my puppy eyes. 'So I can prevent that monster from stealing you.' I added mentally.
Solar sighed. The puppy dog eyes never fail! "Fine. You can stay." He added, "if your dad agrees."
As the day progresses my dad came back to pick me up. I asked him if I could stay with Solar, he agreed. He flew back home and brought me my stuff. My pajamas, my tooth brush, my comb, my brush, and my sleeping bag. After my dad and Solar's had a talk I went back inside as my dad took off.
Star Shine and I were gonna share a room in the guest bedroom. There were twin beds, two dressers, one bathroom, and a nightstand in between the two beds with a lamp sitting on top. After we brushed our teeth and put on our pajamas, Star Shine and I headed off to bed. Star turned off the lights.
As she slept I stared at her from my bed with a look of pure hatred. "I don't know who you are, and I don't care." I whispered so she wouldn't hear me. "Nopony steals my Solar." My eyes flashed reddish orange before I went to sleep.
Far from the town lied the gates of Tartarus. A large three headed bulldog, each head wore a red collar that had spikes, by the name of Cerberus stood guard in front of the gates, not moving or wavering.
*KA-BOOOM!!*
A massive explosion erupted from the gate, turning it into a broken and warped thing of hot metal. Cerberus turned to the gate and growled, his hair raising and his sharp teeth showing.
"HEEL." a phantom voice demanded.
Cerberus, guardian of Tartarus and keeper of evil, once growling and starring down the one escaping, was now a terrified mutt. Cerberus whimpered, taking steps back.
"SIT." The voice demanded.
Cerberus did as commanded and fell on his rump.
"GOOD DOG." The voice praised.
The sound dragging metal echoed across the walls. A tall figure could be seen walking out from the gates. It was an Alicorn Stallion, with crimson eyes, a short black mane that sparkled, and brown fur. The Alicorn had shackles around his forelegs, around both of his wings, and a ring around his horn. The Alicorn smiled at Cerberus, walking past the terrified dog with a smile on his face.
The only thing Cerberus did, was just sit there with fear. Once the Alicorn was gone, Cerberus sat up, and went back to guarding the gates of Tartarus. Not even daring to take one step after the Alicorn.
