As the two babies grew up, they have always been really sweet and they rarely actually cry, which is really disturbing to the others. Of course, the four's lives changed a lot, but with their other friends to help out, it wasn't really a big problem. The biggest change, though, their YouTube careers have to be a bit unstable for quite a while.
Throughout their growth, Astell and Lunar liked each other ever since the first time they saw each other. They saw each other as a companion, a friend who was there when they were alone. Before they could talk, they didn't really do much, but it was when they could start to talk, that's when their friendship started to take off.
One night, when they were about four years old, Astell went to ask her mother something before bed.
'Hey, mom... Can I ask you something?'
Frisk nodded. 'Go ahead.'
'You know your friend's son, right? Can I sleep with him tonight?' She asked.
Frisk knew the two had a connection with each other. Also, since Lunar was an alicorn, his parents felt it was okay for him to be okay with sleeping on his own. So, she didn't really object to that question at all.
'Hmmm, you can, just make sure you're okay when sleeping. Alright, goodnight, Astell,' Frisk lightly kissed her, and she left the room.


She went to his room, and Lunar was fast asleep already.
'(Giggles) I want to get to know him more...' Astell thought.
She got on his bed, and looked at him before she slept. A minute later, Lunar opened his eyes and saw Astell. He was surprised.
'Huh? Oh, it's you... Thank Twilight is not something bad...' He whispered.
Astell grinned. 'I wanted to sleep with you tonight. By the way, I never asked you... What's your name?'
'Oh, right. I never told you. I'm Lunar Sparkle. And you are?' Lunar asked.
'Astell Dreemur. But, just call me Astell.'
As the night went on, they both were chatting to each other.
'Lunar, do you know that I am very happy every time I see you? I remember the first day we met...' She said.
He nodded. 'I was... Kind of drawn to you. I feel like... You can be my friend. It was pretty awkward of me trying to cuddle you.'
'(Giggles) You're so funny. So... do you want to be my friend?' Astell asked.
Lunar brought her close with his wing. 'Haha, okay.'
She was blushing, and her face turned red. Then, she kissed him lightly.
'Oh, uh... Sorry, I-'
Lunar smiled, and kissed back. The two were cuddling as they slept.


It was really interesting to think that these two had such a strong connection with each other at such a young age, and they're not even siblings! They have been really close friends for the early years of their lives, and they rarely ever fought. Though, they sometimes do argue a little bit when they were playing video games.
Speaking of which, the couples thought that they should have them in their YouTube videos, since they thought it will be an awesome experience.
One day, they were setting up for the next vlog and Lunar came over.
'Hey dad, I heard you guys are making videos, can Astell and I join?'
Nathan had an idea. 'Give me a minute.' He turned to Twilight. 'Twilight, the kids say they want to join in!'
'Of course they can join! We've never shown them on our channel.' She replied.
So they got Frisk and Asriel behind the camera, and started recording.

'Hi everypony! This is Twilight, and I'm being joined by my husband, Nathan, and someone you've probably never seen before...'
Nathan smiled. 'As you may know, we said that we had some "Family issues" to tackle, and we can finally show you all what's been going on!' He looked at them. 'So, why don't you introduce yourselves?'
'(Giggles) Hi, I am Lunar Sparkle, the son of my parents, Nathan and Twilight! And I'm here with my friend, Astell Dreemur!' He giggled.
She waved to the camera. 'I'm the daughter of Frisk and Asriel Dreemur, who is just behind the camera.'
Then, they came out into the video as well.
'Okay! Hello everypony, this is Frisk!'
'And with me, Asriel!' He replied. 'So, we have a load of explaining to do about... These two kids behind us.'
All of them laughed and kept chatting in the video.


Ever since the news was broken out, the two got many people's attention. Some people felt that the two kids should be proud, since they became the children of four famous legends of the human and pony race. Some people even went as far to say that they may become the successors of the four, and they will travel to other dangerous and magical places to explore, conquer and continue their parents' legacy.

But of course, even friends can have little quarrels from time to time, and these two were no exception. Once, Astell was playing around with video games, but she keeps on failing over and over again on a single boss fight.
'Astell, come on!' Lunar complained.
'Just a bit more...' She replied.
And her character died again.
'Darn, messed up again...'
'You died like, twenty times already! Just let me play!' Lunar was crossing his hooves, feeling unamused.
'UGH, my determination!!! Must beat this boss!' She told to herself.
Then, Lunar was so furious that he tried to use his magic to steal the controller from her.
'Hey, no! Stop it!' She yelled.
'Come on, you've been playing for like, an hour now!' He said, trying to control his magic.
'I got it this time!'
Both of them were quite angry with each other.
'Okay, that's it. Let go and let me get the controller.' Lunar cried.
'No way!' Astell cried back.
They sparked a little fight with each other. A minute later, Frisk came in.
'Whoa, what the Chara? What's going on?' She asked.
'(Grunts) Astell won't let me play!' Lunar cried, fighting Astell.
'Oh my gosh, shut it, Lunar!' She yelled.
Frisk went to get Twilight in.
'Stop!!! Both of you!' She yelled, using her magic to freeze them in place.
'Uh... Twilly? You know you don't have to-' Frisk saw the cross look on her face. 'Okay, okay! Don't give me that look!'
Twilight walked over to the two. 'Now, children... Is that how you treat a friend?'
They had no response.
'(Sigh) Please get along with each other, then.' She said, disabling the spell.
Frisk tapped her from behind. 'Let me take care of this...'
She crouched in front of them. 'Now, Astell... You have been playing for quite a while, let Lunar play for a bit.'
Astell shook her head. 'Not now! I'm almost done with this level!'
'How about you let him have a go? Maybe he can help. Oh, and you do realize we have more controllers and this is a multiplayer game, right?' She passed a controller to Lunar.
'Hehe, thanks!' He said. 'Come on, Astell, let's play together!'
She nodded, and they went back to the level they were on.

Outside, Frisk just came out.
'See? That's much more like it.' She said.
Twilight smiled. 'You're right. Maybe shouting isn't always the best option, correct?'
'Exactly.'
And a second later, the two kids were high-fiving each other since they beat the stage.
'Nice, Lunar! I won't doubt you again!' Astell cried.
'Haha, thanks. I'm sorry for beating you around though.' He replied.
She felt a bit shy. '(Giggles) Yeah, I'm sorry too.' She then hugged her friend.
Looking from behind the door, the two nodded to each other.
'Problem solved.' Frisk said, snapping her fingers.


Think of their friendship as a flower. By the age of eight, the flower was in full bloom. Just like their parents, they knew more about each other as life progressed. It wasn't surprising, though, considering they were the children of four best friends. Twilight's saying always goes, 'Friendship carries on through the ages', and she was right.
One day, they were playing around in a field of flowers.
'Catch me if you can!' Astell said to Lunar, running away from him.
'(Giggles) Come back here!' He giggled, then flying up into the air, grabbing Astell and taking her for a ride.
'You're really good at flying, wait until you can fly around with your mom!' She said.
As they landed safely and sat in the middle of the flowers, they smiled.
Lunar had an idea. 'Hey, Astell, this is for you!' He picked out some of the lovely purple flowers for her.
She smelled the wonderful flowers. 'Awww, thanks Lunar!' She kissed him on the cheek.
'You know what I think of these flowers? I feel like they represent a balance between us. I mean, you are mostly red and I am colored blue, so when we mix together, we create the color of this very flower. Just like our friendship, we really mix well together. We are friends meant to be.' Lunar said.
'(Laughs) That's pretty interesting.' Astell replied.
Then, Frisk came over.
'Guys! It's getting late now, better come inside!' She called out, then walking over to them.
They both nodded to her.
'I see you guys want a picture?' Frisk asked, taking out her phone.
'Sure! Hey Astell, bring it in!' He brought her close with his wing.
She put her arm around her friend. 'Alright, come here.'
With the two holding a few of the purple flowers, they smiled as the photo was taken. Then they followed Frisk back to the castle. After they got back, Astell wanted to ask her friend something.
'Oh, and Lunar?' Astell asked.
'What is it?' He turned back.
'Will you... be my best friend?'
He nodded. 'Sure I will! We've known each other for a while now.'
Astell was blushing, and she kissed Lunar again.
'You little angel.' He giggled, levitating her.
'Whoa, hey! Stop it!' She said playfully.
Both of them kissed each other, smiling.


So, sounds like a really good pair of friends, right? Well, this is where the fun part kicks in...
