~ A Few hours later in the Officer's Quarters~

In the living room of the Officer's Quarters in the officer's wing on the second floor of the Living module of the Citadel Class Space Station, a pair of very fashionable tangerine-colored knee-high boots with blue trim lay removed on the floor by a sofa. On the couch with her long, light gray legs stretch out was a pair of very well pedicured light gray bare feet. That belongs to very exhausted Miss Rarity Radiance she gulps much need oxygen to replenish the depleted air in her lungs after Justice's unrelenting assault on her feet as she asked.

"Here you go, Rarity," Justice said politely, handing his friend Rarity a small glass of water for her to drink, and she takes a drink.

"By Celestia's light! I forgot just how unrelenting those fingers are on sensitive mare's soles like mine. (Intentional cough into her gloved hand) Went I was in my prime." Rarity comments as she takes another drink of water from the glass.

"Now come on Rarity, you don't look that bad. (Intentional cough into his gloved hand) For a unicorn, you're advanced age." Justice comments as Rarity chuckled, taking another drink of water.

"It quite all right, my friend. I have come to terms that I am not in my unicorn prime. But that doesn't mean I am going to stop taking care of myself. A lot of the younger ponies that work for me at my global/intergalactic fashion house Carousel Boutique often ask what they can do to look this good went they get to my age. I tell them you don't stop taking care of yourself and stay positive if you want to look this good." Rarity said with a little bit of pride in her voice as Justice sat down at Rarity's feet.

"I must say, Rarity, your foot care is impeccable their no flaws anywhere," Justice said complimenting as he held Rarity's heels in one hand as he examined every inch of her flawless light gray bare feet in his hand.

"I thank you, Justice. Taking care of my feet goes along with taking care of me and staying positive. I couldn't believe went I was younger I stressed over minor details. I was surprised that I didn't die of stress." Rarity comment as Justice gently put Rarity's feet back down on the sofa.

"But enough about me, Justice. I have a few questions for you, Justice." Rarity comment as Justice filled Rarity's empty water glass with soft apple cider as it been some time since Rarity visited him since he left the Planet of Sol to return to his position in the Infinity Star Sector Space fleet.

"Sure, Rarity ask away," Justice said, floating an empty glass from a nearby shelf to himself and fills it with Soft apple cider for the visit of his friend Rarity.

"First question, Justice, went you left Sol; you told me you are returning to your position in the Infinity star sector space fleet, and that position is what?" Rarity asked as she takes a drink from her glass.

"I am upper Rear Admiral in the Infinity Star Sector Space Fleet," Justice explains as Rarity spits her drink out of her mouth with the shock.

"So all these Imperator Alicorn warships are under your command, Justice!" Rarity exclaims drying her mouth with a napkin Justice floated to Rarity.

"You are partially correct, Rarity; I am one of three space fleet commanders. The other two are Admiral Ophelia Silverlight and Vice Admiral Shimmering Diamond Silverlight." Justice explains as the chimes on the officer quarter's door rings as an angelic smile forms on Rarity's snout went Justice went to answer the door.

As the door whoosh open standing outside was good looking older earth pony mare with pale, light golden blonde mane with a hint of gray and tail with a broken-in old cowboy hat. Her 5ft 10in very physically fit brilliant yellow-orange body was attired in a blue, green form-fitting spacesuit with yellow trim. On her yellow-orange, bare feet were knee-high boots. This older earth pony mare was President Applejack Apple, the owner of the Sweet Apple Acres Company and a second old friend of Justice.

"Well howdy Mr. Justice, It been sometime since I have come to visits you went you were on Planet of Sol. May I come in?" The earth pony mare asked politely as she hugs him.

"Sure come on in Miss Applejack. Yes, it has been a long time." Justice said as he returned the hug.

"Hey, Applejack! I didn't think you were coming up!" Rarity calls remaining in her position on the sofa with her bare feet on the cushions.

"Well, after you message me Rarity confirming that Twilight was reawakened. I checked my schedule. It seems that my secretary flubbed an appointment for me today. It's a good thing. I know that client very well. He told me I could forget the appointment for today. We can talk next month about it. So I boarded my privately-owned space shuttle and head up here to see Twilight." Applejack explains as she sat down on the same sofa as Rarity and chuckled, noticing that Rarity was barefooted.

"Showing off that stellar pedicure of your's Rarity." Applejack said teasing as Justice handed the mare a glass and filled it with apple cider. She cocks her head to one side to thank Justice for giving her a drink.

"You are one to talk, Applejack. I have seen your name quite a few times in the day spa appointment book. Justice, if you please, could you pull Applejack's boots off for her. So all ponies can see what her pedicure looks like." Rarity asked as Applejack brought her feet up, and Justice pulled her boots off.

Revealing a pair of yellow-orange bare feet with a stellar pedicure with the only exception that nail polish was slightly a bit darker, then the lighter nail polish on Rarity's nails. A moment later, the three ponies break down in laughter as Applejack crossed her leg over the other.

"That was quite fun; it been a while since the three of us have a casual visit together, Rarity and Mr. Justice." Applejack comments as Rarity placed her bare feet on the ground and crossed her leg over the other.

"That was for sure, Applejack." Rarity comments whirling the apple cider in her glass as the ice cubes clink the side of the glass as she takes another drink before lifting her glass, asking for another drink.

"I think the last time we had a casual visit together was went you told the Friendship assembly members that you would be leaving the planet to resume your position in Imperator Alicorn Space Fleet." Rarity said as Applejack whirl the apple cider in her glass as the ice cubes clink against the side of the glass.

"Hey Applejack, did you know that Justice is upper Rear Admiral in the Imperator Alicorn Space fleet." Rarity comments as Applejack reel with astonishment.

"Well, howdy, I didn't know that. But it does make sense Justice did establish Princess Celestia's elite protection unit, the Solar Guard and Lunar Guard for Princess Luna. Both those units are still very active run by Grand Solar Princess Aurora." Applejack explains as Justice refills her glass with apple cider.

"Getting back to our earlier discussion. If my memory serves me right. You took me leaving the planet the harder than any of the Friendship assembly members, Rarity." Justice comment floating the apple cider pitcher over to Rarity filling her glass up again.

"Well, of course, I did, you were the first stallion I had for a friend. That didn't hit on a beautiful unicorn mare like me. I could truthfully call you a friend and some of the things we were partners in. Was the most fun I had with you?" Rarity comments pointing the top of her glass toward Justice as Justice chuckles as the visit continues.

~It a few days later aboard the 'infinity palace' in medical control module~

Standing outside Princess Twilight Sparkle's hospital room wearing the light gray New Lunar Republic formal women's dress uniform was Captain Alysia Ara Silverlight. Her muscular lavender-colored legs and slender/smooth bare feet were encased in black sheer stockings with polished black high heel pumps. On her head behind her horn was a light gray peaked cap with a gold half-moon pin in the center of the cap. Today is the day that they will transfer the former Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle from the Hospital to her permanent living Quarters in the Living module of the Space station.

To ensure that the transfer of the Former Princess of Friendship to her permanent Living Quarters will go on without a hitch, Rear Admiral Justice Silverlight instructed his granddaughter to wear her New Lunar Republic formal dress uniform for one good reason. On the sleeve of the uniform is a patch that features a full moon in the background and dagger in the foreground. This patch belongs to the New Lunar Republic special forces know as the Moon Knights.

This unit has a reputation for being the toughest, the smartest, and the meanest special operatives in the New Lunar Republic military. As no pony knew which moon knight would be sent out for a mission except Luna herself, all republic's enemy sees if they see this soldier clad in black special force's combat body armor, they have seen their last moonrise. As the process begins first to exit, the hospital room was a unicorn soldier in black special force's armor armed with Custom pulse pistol; he is followed by a female unicorn soldier in same color armor armed with PMP 5. The whole process took about half an hour to complete as the group was on heightened alert until they delivered Princess Twilight Sparkle to her permanent living quarters.

It a few hours later, after delivering the package in the living room of the officer's wing on the second floor of the Living module of the Citadel Class Space Station, Captain Alysia Ara Silverlight still wearing her light gray New Lunar Republic formal women's dress uniform sits on the sofa. Sitting with her on the couch was her grandfather Rear Admiral Justice Silverlight; her sheer stockings clad feet rested on his lap as he gives his granddaughter a well-deserved foot rub for complete the mail deliver duty. The one difference between doing the foot rub on his wife and other mares all of them softly neigh went they are contented. But his granddaughter softly chirps went she is contented; he figures it one of many sounds that the sea pony siren side of his granddaughter has.

"How do you feel Granddaughter?" Justice asked, snapping Alysia out of her wonderful daydream from her grandpa's skilled fingers on her sore stocking clad feet.

"Huh! Oh, I feel wonderful, grandpa. This is the first time you have given me this kind of treatment. I always asked grandma how it feels went my grandpa rud her feet. She tells me it is wonderful." Alysia said relaxed and contented as she allowed her grandpa to remove her stockings to continue the foot rubs on her bare feet.

"So granddaughter?" Justice asked as Alysia's tee-hee, knowing what her grandpa was asking her.

"It just as wonderful as grandma says it is, grandpa," Alysia said appreciatively as she slowly fell back into a fell good coma.

"You know, granddaughter, this the first time I got a good look at these feet of yours. I am surprised by how smooth they are. A trait you might have inherited from your grandma. But anyway, granddaughter goes change into your spacesuit again. So we may start dinner. You're Grandma and cousin is doing a double shift for tonight. So it only us for dinner tonight ." Justice explains as Alysia pick-up her pumps and stockings.

"Yes, Grandpa," Alysia said responsive as she pitter-patter in her bare feet to her room to change into her spacesuit.

'What a wonderful Granddaughter Celestia and I got. Despite all the terrible stories that were told about pure siren mares. All those terrible stories stem from the actions of three sirens that try to take control of Equestria and were banished long ago. Because of those three sirens, my Grandchildren were shunned by the general ponies' population. It was not until her grandmother return that our grandchildren have hoped to be accepted.' Justice thoughts as he looks over the menu in the food replicator as Alysia walked up behind him and hug him.
