//------------------------------// // A night is better with family. // Story: Stuck with you // by CaioCoia //------------------------------// Suddenly a splash of water made Cadence wake up from her sudden shock.  “Where am I? What happened?” Cadence raised her body quickly from the place she was at, and looking at her brother holding a bowl and a sandwich with his magic. “You fainted during some time, our aunty told me you had a complicated relation with our cousin.” Blueblood decided to be direct and even gave to her a sandwich of hay and flowers.  While she looked down and turned her head away, she used her magic to accept the sandwich from her brother and take a bite. She sighed imagining the face of wrath from Sunset Shimmer. “I just wanted to help, and in the end I just helped somepony I didn’t want to, I thought I did that to protect her, and some years ago I discovered how much hypocrite I was. All the bullies and hate quotes she said to me, I still remember. And still hurts to think that words were said because of my actions.” Cadence looked at her brother, trying to hold her feelings, she would cry at night just remembering the fierce look Sunset did to her last time before she leaves Equestria. “You don’t have anything to blame Cadence, you were just learning about your powers, it was growing inside of you, even if you wanting or not. In the end you learned how to use it.” Princess Celestia told her niece to her cheer up, even knowing what happened in that fateful day.    “Yeah, but try to say that the first pony who make you ascend to alicornhood was the  same pony you used to destroy your own family, after that day I learned how much I did wrong, and everything makes sense to me, just knowing his name made me almost breakdown. The first pony who should make me ascend it was supposed to be Sunset, not the pony who I just made everything worse at her life.” Cadance showed her face, now with tears and what supposed to be fear about imagining how Sunset would look at her now. Still hating her. “Okay, hold up. I’m still trying to understand what happened over here, can somepony explain?” Blueblood peek up with his ears trying to understand what happened. “Well… My relationship with Sunset wasn’t the best, actually was the opposite. She hated me… hated me with everything she had. I knew I was popular when I was filly because I was a noble and smart filly, with good magic. And everypony around me was avoiding Sunset when she was trying to make friends. That was the first reason she hated me, because I was popular. But Corazion always said to her to try a friendship with me, and she tried…” Cadance remember the few tries Sunset did when she was filly, trying a postcard saying sorry and be my friend was the cute one. “Then for the first time we became friends and our family became even more happier with the result...However, all that came to an end after that time I found Sunset with a colt... I felt something strange around both of them… It was” “The power of love.” Princess Celestia told Blueblood who was listening careful about what happened between the two princesses. “Cadence didn’t know what ascendency she had until it was that day she became alicorn. The power she was feeling it was when she could see a couple of ponies, she could sense the future of passion between the two sides and the end of the relationship, how would ends.” “So what did you saw about that colt Cadence?” Blueblood already knew the answer would be something he doesn’t want to hear. “Well, the colt’s name was Chocolate Sun, he was a really attractive colt when we were fillies, and Sunset had a huge crush on him.” Cadence said while looking down at she remembered. “When I met with him, I felt something on him, and when I Sunset approached him, it was like I could see the future of their relationship, I never saw it before. But I could see his family was a noble family until something unexpected happened and made all his family poor… However when he was with Sunset I could see his character poorly made, he was using her to get status to his family and betrayed her in many ways, leaving her hurt. I had to do something to stop that.” “What did you do?” The voice of his brother sounded like he didn’t was enjoying the way Cadence was talking and he feared something she would destroy some hearts. “I told him to get out of my way and my family and never come back, and I used so many mean words, making him feel scared and never see Sunset again…” Cadence told him the truth, and the consequences of her actions wasn’t a few. “That day, I never cried so much after making Sunset scream to me, like how much she hate me, and I’m not part of the family because family supposed to be together and that day I destroyed the only thing who made our family whole… Many guards tried to stop her to hurt me, but her bucks and her words hurt more than anything I had to fight in my entire life…” “It wasn’t your fault.” Princess Celestia tried to hug her niece but the move of her foreleg were pushed from her own niece. “Wasn’t it? Because I could have used other ways to help both of us.” Cadance said in deny of her own reason. “I could have told you first, asked you to see both of them, explain my magic power, and I could act anonymous and let you take the action. Or I could just ignored for a while and find proofs of his actions before he hurts her.” Celestia listened her niece in silence, while she wanted to help Cadance, her ideas about what she could do it would make everything in another way and smooth, but she needed to find a way to help her niece, but how without making a lie? Cadance shook her head and looked to her brother:  “Years later of that problem. I discovered my alicornhood but in the worst way I could imagine. A pony who was working at the local marketing was in a discussion with a noble mare at Canterlot, while the discussion was becoming a bit heavy I found out with my power the stallion would become a really great noble stallion and he would have a happy romantic life with that same mare and they would be a great couple who would not be spoiled as the usual noble ponies…” Cadance said looking down at the moment, making Blueblood look confuse to her.  “But that wouldn’t be a good thing to us? Like having a good noble is really difficult to find in these days, and…” Then his eyes became wide open like he understand what happened… “Chocolate Sun was the pony you used your magic to become allicorn right?” Cadance didn’t answer for a moment, making Prince Blueblood look at Princess Celestia. She decided to tell the rest of the story. “Chocolate Sun’s family after some years after the breakdown they opened a market at Canterlot, raising from the ash and becoming more humble, they really became different after some years, and their little son, was working as deliverer. After Cadance discovered who he was, she locked herself at the her room during 1 week.” Princess Celestia decided to approach Cadance again. “I was so stupid. Yay I became an alicorn but with what cost, I really wanted anypony than Chocolate Sun, I was really happy but after I found out it was him, I became sick and disgusted of myself, I didn't want to talk with anypony.” Cadance said sighing from her same scar she had emotionally. “So that was the reason you was looked inside of your room?” Blueblood accepted the story in silence and become rational from her feelings, receiving a nod from her, he understood what would be a big problem from her family. “Aunty tried to cheer me up, and it was really hard, because she was hurt as well, Sunset left Equestria during years, Corazion was the only pony who could help her but he died some months before Sunset leave Equestria. And I became scared of what would happen if I met her again, she could kill me… and she had the right to do that.” Cadance was saying before a hoof pressed with force came from unexpected direction, making a powerful slap from her own Aunty. “MI AMORE CADENZA.” From a furious Princess of the sun, Princess Celestia was using the Royal Canterlot Voice to make her point made again, making almost part of the castle shake with her anger to her niece. “I KNOW WHAT’S THE FEELING OF MAKING MISTAKES OF OUR OWN FAMILY. TRUST ME, I REALLY DO. BUT EVEN IF YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU WERE STILL A CHILD, EVERYPONY MAKES MISTAKES, EVEN ME, HER AND YOU.” Her screaming was making both of ponies hold her hooves over their ears but still listening her screaming in rage. After taking the attention of both of her relatives, she calmed down, making both of them listen her more carefully. “Cadance, I know you may have problems about Sunset, but your cousin Spike went to the other side of the mirror without noticing the effects of the portal, it will be just opened until midnight from today after that it will be more 20 moons until it opens again.” Her speech made both of siblings look at her in fear. “What? So what should we do? We have to tell him to come back.” “Sadly he will not listen and he will stay over there, knowing how noble he can be and stubborn while trying to act noble as well.” Princess Celestia giggled thinking on her little boy. “I just hope he would succeed his plans and maybe even with a little of optimist he could bring Sunset again just for me saying I’m sorry.” “Well, we cannot allow Spike doing that alone, so I offer myself to escort him to Equestria again.” Blueblood as his cousin and with his sense of responsibility with his family, stood up proudly offering himself to bring Spike back with Sunset as well. “Blueblood, you don’t need to try to show responsibility over this case, if you try to go over the mirror you have a chance you can be stuck on that dimension during 20 moons with them.” Princess Celestia said in concern of her nephew safety while she sounded proud of the actions of the little colt who usually was afraid of adventures. “I know, but I’m a diplomat so I can stuck everywhere easily and deal with many major problems, you know what happened in Yakstan and I went out of there smoothly like they didn’t know there was a pony over there. And Griphonstone was a place I get trip many times without making a polemic. I can manage to protect Spike aunty. I promise.” Blueblood showed his conviction while he looked at the mirror seeing the necklace over there. Princess Celestia looking she couldn’t changes his mind, allowed Blueblood to his own mission. “Prepare the essentials Prince Blueblood, you are on a rescue mission, and don’t come back until you bring Spike and Sunset Shimmer, you have your own time limit to decide when it was time to come back. Take all the bits you find is necessary and bring my children back.” She said like a royal queen giving an official royalty mission to her own nephew. “Aye my highness.” Blueblood said while galloping away. Leaving Cadance shocked and a very proud princess looking him galloping. “Why did you do that Aunty, Blueblood will...” Cadance cannot believe what she was seeing and she had many reasons for not allow Blueblood to go to that risky mission but when she tried to argue with her aunt she was interrupted by a stomp at the floor. “Cadance, after many years, suffering from my own decisions… I discovered the reason I couldn’t go to the other dimension by myself… It was my pride who didn’t make me to go there and apologize to my own daughter. And I’m tired to try to ignore something who hurts me so much after so many years… And I really thought you would be the answer for my problems…” Princess Celestia sighed while looked the mess on the Mi Amore Cadenza was after getting bathed with a cold water bucked. Cadance was shocked but the Celestia continued. “This mission was supposed to be yours after you get married, while I really thought you had confidence in yourself and had the only thing I couldn’t ever thought I didn’t had… Humility to go after her and apologize after everything I did. But looking in this situation now, I discovered we are both cowards to go after her while Spike and Blueblood are not thinking about that at all, they are just thinking in our family. So that’s why I let them to take their own time on that mission, because now I can see Sunset will be happier with her family on her side.” Cadance couldn’t do anything other than let her own head looking down in shame. Her aunt is right, the only philosophy of their family they had being ignoring during so many years, and now it’s time to makes everything okay. “Aunt. I want to go to that rescue mission as well.” Cadance cleaned her face and decided to not act as a filly anymore, it’s time to show she is a mare now and a leader of her own nation if is possible, Equestria doesn’t have any royalty coward, just people who cares about their family. “You said this mission is after my marriage, but I want to be part right now.” Celestia smiled proudly to her own niece, who decided to make a huge step from her fear to a courage to assume her mistakes and affront her cousin again. “Take your stuffs, you are going to have a long mission.” Princess Celestia said while her niece nodded in agreement of her own choices.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After coming back to her apartment, Sunset decided to take a shower after having many things to think about her day. She had so many plans to take control of the school, the idea of world domination by easily 10 steps, to come back to Equestria and conquer easily… Everything she had planned for years now it’s messed up, by a single fact she didn't think about it.  Now she has a brother to take care of…  Her frustration while she take a shower herself showed how much she was being ignorant thinking about how her mother planning a strategy to foil her plans just to take her arrest to Equestria were now forgotten by the fact Spike said she wants her to visit and there wasn't a catch over it. She knew she could trust on Spike, because while he is smart, he doesn’t looks like he can lie to everyone. He is easy to read through his lies… So… why is so difficult to accept the offer of coming back? It was because the injustice she suffered from being exiled from Equestria? Or is the fact the only thing she could say to fix it was sorry? She didn’t know, and she knows she isn’t ready to face her mother again. Meaning… Spike will have to wait a long time before she agrees with him to go back to Equestria, now she has a life to live. She has this humans, technology, while she couldn’t have magic, now she is independent… But… what she is going to do now?  “Oh God, Spike need to have human identity over here, he couldn’t go to school if he doesn’t have documents. I cannot let him alone while those girls go to school.” Sunset knew she now has the responsibility… Not because her mother told her, but that was what Corazion taught her. Family is always family.  After taking a towel, she decided to use her cellphone and try to use her contacts, but a knock from her door caught her attention from her worries, she doesn’t receive visits usually. So she looked who would be on her door, even if she was wearing towels.  After taking a glimpse of whose was on the door, she opened with a from but with a sly grin.  “Hey Flash.” She opened surprising the only boy who has been with her after months of relationship.  “Sunset?” Flash blushed from the way she was wearing her towels, and while he tried to keep his eye contact from the predator who is his girlfriend. “Don’t worry, I don’t bite...today. Get in” Sunset allowed Flash Sentry  inside her apartment. Flash decided to stay on her couch while she went to wear some clothes in her bedroom. After waiting some minutes Sunset jumped on her couch while she looked Flash nervous.  “So Flash, what’s the reason of appearing at my apartment at this time of the night?” Sunset wasn’t stupid, and she has started to understand how manipulation works at people. So she has a vague answer on her mind for why he is there. “Well…” Flash was a bit nervous but then he focused on himself to make a deep frown on his face. “I’m here to confront you from your idea to send messages to other people to break their friendships.” “Wha…” Sunset looked at him in disbelief. “How did you…” “I check your emails, I found you have 4 different cellphones, and I don’t know who was going to be the target but I want to make an end right now.” Flash wanted to make Sunset doesn’t make a crime who could destroy her life forever, even she doesn’t listen to him everything he tries to say that. He was being ready for be argument of every week, but this time Sunset while she was angry she raised her finger to say something but nothing came out from her mind, after a minute trying to say something she let out a frustrated sigh. “That was my plan? Mother dammit, that sounded really stupid and there was nobody who could be fooled by that during much time, it has many loopholes it could be reasoned easily. You know what Flash? You are right, that’s stupid, and now I don’t have time to argue with you or create new plans. I have bigger problems to deal with right now.” Sunset let out her great anger not to Flash, which surprised him, usually everything was his fault, but now she said all the problems of her plans and there was something taking out from her mind bigger than her plans? “Like what?” Flash Sentry decided to relax a bit, but while he showed concern for those people who could be Sunset’s problem. “My brother came at the town and he doesn’t have his documents to enlist himself at school.” Sunset grabbed her phone trying to see if she has something she could do to help Spike. “Wait. Do you have a brother?” Flash was in fact shocked by sudden change of pace of the conversation, from a possible crime to a family matter? Maybe her brother what was suppose to be the only thing to change Sunset for a better girl.   “Yeah, it’s a big surprise for me too, it’s been a long time since I saw my mother, and the little boy came here just to find me and ask me to go home with him.” Sunset sounded like she doesn’t want further questions and Flash knew the code when she wanted to avoid such subjects. He can guess by the tone of her voice. “Hum… Gotcha, so what’s the plan? Doesn’t your mother have his documents?” It was a reasonable question Flash had in mind, but it seems Sunset was thinking about that as well because she shocked her head while she grabbed her phone to see some information she has. “Well, he is from a foreigner country, so that means that there will be problems with documents.” Sunset doesn’t mind showing that fact to Flash, because she knew he was too innocent to try some scheme against her, and wasn’t that time to commit a hideous crime...yet. “Wait, so that means you are a foreigner too?” Flash as the same way asked another obvious question making Sunset roll her eyes while she answers him. “Yeah genius, I’m from the same country, but now I don’t have time with that.” “What about you explain this situation to Principal Celestia, from what I heard once, she had some friends who can help to recover documents because she worked at that department once.” Well, thinking about the Principal Celestia, she always helps the kids and teenagers who has been on the streets receive education, so maybe she doesn’t mind to receive Sunset’s brother to her school. Sunset raised her finger to point out some problems with the idea, but after thinking about it. Sunset went to Canterlot High because of Principal Celestia, and the story of Principal Celestia who worked for the government once, while she doesn’t talk that story often, she talks to people who needed that, and Sunset needed once.   “Oh yeah, the intern incident, thank you Flash, I knew I could count with my brain and your beauty.” She said while taking the glory to herself she kissed his cheek making him goofy. Sunset Shimmer ignored the moaning boy at her couch and opened the call to her Principal. “Hello, Principal Celestia? It’s your student Sunset Shimmer, I have a family matter and I need your help.”  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After many impacts of the first day at this new dimension, Spike finally went to a place he could be familiar with home.  It wasn’t his home like he lived with Twilight, but the accommodation of being a visit in one house. Rarity’s house, she brought him on her house to pass the night. While it seems it was just a Saturday night.  He was puzzled with the furniture he saw on the room, like a plane object in front of the couch, while it doesn’t have many books behind it. The photos over the walls, showed she doesn’t live alone. It seems her sister Sweet Belle and her parents live with her. “Are you sure it’s okay for me to stay here tonight?” Spike asked while he knows she is the element of generosity counterpart, it seems she is being forced to do that because of his sister. “You don’t have to worry too much about that darling. My parents are taking a trip with my little sister and they will just come back after tomorrow.” Rarity reassured Spike she doesn’t mind him staying for a night. “Actually I’m really happy, because I would have been lonely while my little sister would enjoy the hotel trip with our parents. If it wasn’t my project of school I had to finish I would have to go on a trip with them.” “Hehe, who knows what would happen if you went with them, I would have been lost over here. Thank you for your help Rarity, you don’t know how much you helped me.” Spike said sincerely while he saw the different parts from the house he usually see in Equestria, like the new technology he found at this world. While he was amazed by so many things, Rarity couldn’t help but giggle from his silly reactions. “I may have an idea about it.” Rarity went inside her room while Spike was looking at the TV which didn’t was turned on yet. “Spike? Do you mind to sleep on the couch during some days, it’s because my dad is always restrict with people who comes here to sleep.”    “I’m okay Rarity.” Spike was still looking at the television which just didn’t mind answering it. After Rarity appeared dressed with her pajamas she saw Spike still looking at the television, and Spike which was still waiting for something, then a grin appeared on her face while she took the controller over the table and decided to turn on the television. The light of the tv and the sound and video appearing suddenly made Spike jump from his place in surprise. “HOLLY CELESTIA MY MOTHER” He jumped from his place and in fear while he saw Rarity laughing in her place, making him pouting to her. “Oh my gosh, haha… Sorry darling, I couldn’t help, it was so funny watching you so amazed by something which was turn off, so I turned on to make a surprise for you.” Rarity composed herself after laughing a bit more from the quicky surprise of Spike, and while he sighed in exasperation, he smiled to her while she changed the channel to something she knew Spike would enjoy to see.  The channel produced a video of a squad of heroes wearing suits and fighting a maniac villain who has tentacles on her hair. The clash between them made Spike’s eyes sparkle while he watch the video with his jaw slacked. “THE POWER PONIES? THEY POWER PONIES OVER HERE? WOOOOOW” Spike screamed excitedly, while Rarity couldn’t help but smile. “Well, it seems you know about them.” Rarity smiled to herself after being right on her choice of channel.  “Well… yeah. Me and my cousin became fans of the franchise while we were walking at the convention of books. My friend Twilight Sparkle bought 50 books while me and Blueblood just take 10 comics about them, it was the start of the franchise. So we couldn’t help but being fans of them.” Spike couldn’t help his excitation, while he saw his favorite hero squad take better actions and looking 10 times better than the comics, he always used his imagination while he was reading it, but now he can clearly see how the moves are happening. “MANE-IAC IT’S TIME TO END THIS.” Masked Matter-Horn used her power vision blaster while destroying Mane-iac’s robots in one explosive way.  Making Spike look at the show without blinking once. “Well, I will make a dinner for us, after that you need to take a shower wear your pajamas and go to sleep.” Rarity said while Spike was still hypnotised by the television.  After she took a little picture of him on her cellphone, she giggled, while she seemed a little alone in the morning, it seems the fate had other plans for her, and she is enjoying every second of it. “Well, who could have guessed? Sunset having a brother and me being her friend from now on? I don’t know how school will reacts from sudden news, but it seems it will be more exciting than before. Who knows? Maybe Spike can convince Sunset to stop bullying us and be a better person? Hmm Nah.” Rarity was thinking about the things of what happened on this day, and while she know Spike can be a good balance for Sunset and maybe be a hero of school, she ignored the idea immediately. “Spike shouldn’t have such weigh in his shoulders now, it’s his first day here, he has his own mission and who am I to change that? But one thing I know, I’m in a better position being Sunset’s friend right now than I was yesterday, so why bother?” Rarity took the knife and some carrots and while she was cutting them she was thinking. “Oh my! I need to tell my friends of what happened, because if they see me with Sunset without a reason, they must think I’m trying to use her as my advantage, or worse, they may think she is blackmailing me and Pinkie Pie.” Rarity decided to take a look on her cellphone, and what she was concern was happening. In the moment she opened the cellphone there was a lot of text messages from Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple jack. Rarity, are you okay? I heard you met Sunset’s brother, and she is forcing you and Pinkie Pie to be her friends. WHAT THE BUCK HAPPENED? (RD) Rarity, someone is telling the school, Sunset’s brother came to town and he seems to be the opposite of Sunset, and he can breath fire, is that true? And please answer me the quickest as possible. I’m trying to talk with Pinkie Pie, but she doesn’t answer her phone. (Fluttershy) Ah don’t know why, but if Sunset is blackmailing you about taking care of her kin and forcing you to be her friend I will go personally to her and kick her ass, Ah don’t care if I will get expelled from school. (AJ) From what Rarity read of her messages, it wouldn’t be surprise to someone to say a lot of the news over the school, Sunset having a brother indeed is a big deal, and now Rarity must explain the situation the quickest as possible. My house 10 a.m, there is a lot I have to tell you. (Rarity) On it. (RD) Alright. (AJ) Okay. (Fluttershy) In the moment she was going to close her phone, she received a new message, this time from Pinkie Pie. Hey Rarity, I’m doing plans about Spike’s party I will stay off during a bit, if the girls ask about me, say the usual. Bye. (PP) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Are you sure you can handle it Principal Celestia?” Sunset Shimmer had many changes of emotion while she talked on the telephone and her boyfriend Flash kept watching her reactions. From smugness, then it became worry, then it became anger, then sadness, then hope, then happiness, and then concern everything in 5 minutes of conversation. Then the final emotion which took Sunset’s face. Relief. “Thank you, thank you, thank you Principal Celestia. I will be sure to give all the information about Spike when he comes at the Canterlot High, thank you for enrolling him over there. Okay, I’m sorry about bothering you in the middle of the night, but I have to say you made me and my brother really happy, again I thank you for your help. Good Night.” Flash looked at the winning look on Sunset’s face, he saw that expression once, when she took hours to beat an arcade which it was too difficult to handle and she was too stubborn to ask help and after losing much money she had she finally beat the arcade, she didn’t complain about losing her money because she made some students to pay for her lunch. But still on that arcade her winning face indicates all her hard work is paying off. “So I take now your brother is now in Canterlot High?” Flash deduced while Sunset Shimmer grinned like a wolf who finally ate the prey and was ready to have a nice night of sleep to make another hunt in the next morning. “Yeah, she told me Spike can attend school until I have his documents registered, and I have at least the end of the year to give her the documents, she gave a temporary registration support for new students which she did to me. So that’s a totally victory for me and Spike.” Sunset smugly said until something weird happened to her face, and then from a second later she sneezed. “Yeah, maybe next time you should put your clothes on before bath before giving a call to someone.” Flash said after taking a toilet paper and giving a little to sunset clean her nose with it, while he found something new and enjoyable to see, instead to receive a glare, a snarky response, or even an offense. Sunset just grumbled to herself and showed her tongue to him. Making him chuckle.  “Spike must have indeed changed her attitude, and it was just one encounter.” Flash thought about the possibility of how Sunset would change with Spike around… Maybe now he cannot be worried about her bully to everyone and their problematic relationship that much more than before… Maybe. He really hoped so. What the next morning would bring to him and Sunset, or how much Spike’s appear would change the entire school? Because just him being there, Sunset was keeping herself in check someway and now Flash just imagine how much her brother would change her in the future. It was too much to wish tomorrow would happen at that second? He doesn’t know, but he still wishes Sunset would be a better person and maybe Spike is the key… So Spike must be a solution to his problems, and to many people including Sunset… That’s what he hoped so.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia’s day had been the most chaotic day she ever lived, if wasn’t by the fact Discord was still imprisoned at the stone she would have imagined all the chaos was made by him. But she shook the idea of her mind because now that Twilight and her friends were still with the Elements of Harmony, she can hope all the problems would be resolved by her and her friends.  But still, the chaos was spreed inside of her mind, the first thing she was doing was to take care of the royal nobles and take care of the royal courtroom, later she received a letter about her son saying he traveled to the foreign world because she missed her daughter and it was his mission to bring her back to her. And now her nephew and her niece want to go inside of the mirror and give support to Spike and bring Sunset Shimmer. Yeah… That would have been a great plot made by Discord, because she was almost losing her mind. But now, she can finally felt something different, the weight on her shoulders about her mistakes, is even lighter because her son didn’t think twice and wants the only thing she forgets about it to show him, happiness to herself and her time with her family. The sound of the hooves coming across the hall made Princess Celestia’s thoughts been interrupted, until an angry mare cross around the door, and looking totally furious to her.  “Oh Luna, it seems you finally are up.” Celestia's tired voice made Luna still glare at her and didn’t waste time. “Don’t come at me like that, sister. I something happened, because I heard the rumor about you freaking out in the middle of the court day among our subjects. I went to Spike’s room to ask him what happened, and he wasn’t there… Explain.” Luna always is sharp as knife when it comes in deductions when she is angry or worried. And knowing her, Celestia was too tired to make a long game. “Alright sister, it seems you don’t understand the full story of this entire day. But… do you remember about my other child? The elder sister of Spike?” Celestia asked while taking a raise on Luna’s eyebrows. It seems something is really bothering Celestia. “Yes, I do remember you telling me about this Sunset Shimmer.” Luna said while she sounded like a impatient mare waiting for answers. “Yeah, Spike knowing the mistake I did to her, and how distant I was being from him… made him think about bringing her back.” After Celestia words were said Luna’s eyes went wide open. “Please, don’t tell me he…” “Yes, he travelled cross the mirror, and tonight is the last night before 20 moons recovery.”  “CELESTIA, WE MUST BRING HIM NOW.” Luna shouted in Royal Canterlot Voice. “WE CAN’T.” Celestia shouted back with the same Royal Canterlot Voice. “Spike made a decision and he is too stubborn to come back until he accomplishes his objective, but I will not let him alone on his journey. Blueblood and Cadence said they are going to cross the mirror and support Spike’s mission until they come back safe with my daughter.”   Luna noticed not just Celestia tiredness on her voice, but she saw the black circles in her eyes. “Celestia you must sleep.” Luna could see Celestia didn’t got out from the room after all the time she received the letter of Spike, she could see Celestia was too stubborn to go to sleep and maybe if she tells her she must go… “NO, I refuse to sleep until I give both of my relatives instructions in their mission and be sure they cross the mirror safely. I will not sleep until they come here and go safe.” Celestia refused in the second the idea of sleep passed by her ears, she wants to sleep, but she cannot do it because her concerns are too much, she wants to be sure they traveled well and the moment she sees them passing cross the mirror, she finally have a nice night to sleep, not because she wants, but because she needs to relieve her concerns about it. “Alright then, I just hope they…” In the moment Princess Luna was about to finish her sentence, when she heard the door being open again, and this time came the ponies they were expecting to.  Blueblood crossed the door carrying with magic 2 big backpacks, his royal blue suit and a suitcase as well. While Cadance appeared behind him, while she brought with her a pile of bits inside of a bag, a big backpack and a suitcase as well, while she walked solemn. Both of them are determinants. Without a doubt on their decision.  Luna couldn’t help but imagine a cello sound behind with an orchestra making their entrance even more dramatic, as a hero squad going to cross the worlds to accomplish a mission.  “Alright I think I’m starting to get too much addicted on  Spike’s and Blueblood’s comics.” Luna thoughts, while she could see the relief on Celestia’s face. And with a good smile, Celestia stomped bringing the attention of the ponies inside of the room. “My nephew and my niece. Words cannot describe on how proud you two are making me tonight. As princess of Equestria I always incentive to my ponies to help each and other, and live as a great nation and deal with responsibilities. Without you two, the projects we could do this year will be delayed and maybe it will bring many problems in the future.”Celestia enunciated, making both Blueblood and Cadance look at each other, while they are both royalty, they still has their responsibilities over Equestria, but then their aunt Celestia continued. “But as a mother and your aunt, I don’t care about what these ponies will say about you, I want my children back, so I gave you this mission, bring my son and my daughter to me. Make them to send messages to me all the time. I want peace in my soul. So I PRINCESS CELESTIA, GIVE YOU TWO THIS MISSION. PRINCESS MI AMORE CADENZA, PRINCE BLUE RIVER BLOOD. I AS THE PRINCESS OF EQUESTRIA. I BOW TO YOU AND BEG YOU… BRING MY FAMILY BACK.” Celestia shouting could make all the castle hear her plea, and the tears inside of her eyes showed how much determinate she wanted to see her kids again.  Blueblood didn’t answer, he used his magic to see a clock on his pocket… 7 minute for midnight. He nodded to her sister, and they didn’t open their mouths, they just went and hugged the Princess who was bowing to them, and giving a last hug to the Princess of the Night who was still shocked by that scene, she didn’t imagined how much Celestia wanted that. But the hugs was too quick and when she found she was hugged it was too late. Blueblood took both pendents launched one to Cadance and both wore before jumping direclty, they didn’t look back. They jump straight to the portal, which was a glowing was too strong, and the moment she saw them getting away. “Ah, what…” Luna was so shocked, they didn’t said a word. And ignored them, it was rude. But then she saw Celestia smiling so much proud. “That was loud.” Celestia said weakly. “What was loud?” Luna asked while she didn’t heard anything. “The look on their faces, it screamed they would cross the entire world to bring them back. I finally can go back sleep Luna. I finally...” Celestia talked so happy and then she just fainted on her place, falling in a deep sleep. “So that’s why they didn’t talk, their eyes was screaming what we wanted to know. Just you sister, to have such crazy family as us…” Luna used her magic while she brought her sister while she felt difficulty on doing that.”By mother, you are heavy, you must stop eating cake in the bed Celestia, well sister. Good night, and have a nice sleep.” Luna kissed the forehead of her sister, while she heard happy sounds from her on her slumber.
