Blue Moon's POV
I was brooding by the pond when I heard hooves thundering towards me. I turn around as Celestia screeched to a halt in front of me.
“What are you doing here?” I snarled, remembering what she had done in the throne room.
“I WAS here to apologize but I'm not sure if I even want to even talk to you anymore.” She huffed obviously insulted by my rude greeting.
“Well?”I said raising an eyebrow, not sure where the conversation was going now.
“Look, I am sorry for mentioning your father even though I'm not sure why that would offend-”
“It’s none of your business!!” I yelled cutting her off.
I had gone too far. She glared at me and turned around to leave. I could almost hear my father saying, “Blue Moon, it is ungentlemanly to make a mare angry. I do not approve of you making enemies of my friends, this behavior just will not do!” I groaned inwardly. He would have my neck if you heard about this.
“Princess Celestia! Wait! I didn't mean to yell. You are just asking me about a very sore subject. Please come and sit with me while I explain.”She turned and looked at me skeptically. “Please?” and added softly.
Princess Celestia's POV
To be honest, the last please had me melting. I was beginning to think he wasn't so bad after all. His face definitely wasn't that bad. I sighed and gave in. We sat at the edge of the pond among the lilies and horsetail.
Blue Moon let out a deep breath and started to tell me about his father and how their relationship took a turn for the worst.
Asternix's POV
I never thought the day would come when Blue (Blue Moon) found someone he was willing to talk to about his father, let alone a mare! This was great progress! She might even be the lucky one. Not to mention me, having seen her majestic pet Philomeena! I had to get them together. I started to make my plan as I spied on them from behind a bush.
“Watcha doing?” a beautiful voice sang from behind me. I jumped and turned around.
“Philomeena! Uhh what are you doing here?”
“I asked first.” Philomeena said.
“Fine, I'm watching Blue Moon while he is conversing with the Princess.”
“Looks more like spying to me” she looked over at them, “What are they talking about?”
“That's not important! What’s important is getting them together!”
“So you're going to play the role of match-maker?”
“Y-Yes” I said hesitantly, “Don’t tell them though!”
“Oh, I won't tell because I want in!”
“You do!?” I couldn't believe it! What a perfect opportunity to spend time with her, I mean get Blue and Princess Celestia together! But this must mean she wants us together too right???
“Look!”She said interrupting my thoughts, “Prince Blue Moon is leaving. Let’s go find out what happened from Princess Celestia.”
We walked out from behind the bush to see Princess Celestia getting up and heading towards the castle with a smile on her face and slightly flushed cheeks.
“What was that about?” Philomeena said stopping the Princess.
“Oh that? We were just clearing up a misunderstanding.” She explained, obviously trying to keep us out of it.
“Riiiigggghhhhttt well I best follow Blue Moon then. Thank you for letting us come to your home and don't worry Celestia, we will stay out of it.” I said with a bow to the Princess and a wink to Philomeena. I located Mr. Love Bird in the castle entrance. King Black Night, Prince Blue Moon, the guards, and I left to our castle.
“Where were you?” Blue asked me.
“I was uhh becoming antiquated with Philomeena.” I said, thinking quickly.
“You like her don't you?” he said with a smirk
“Yeah well, you like Princess Celestia!” I watched in satisfaction as the Prince turned beet red. King Black Night glanced over with a spark of interest in his eyes.
“I will make sure to invite them over more often in the future then. “said the King
Blue Moon turned and glared at me with enough fury that could make the underworld look like an amusement park. “Now look what you have done you damn bird brain!!!!” said Blue Moon.
I just laughed and looked out the window.
