Food Fight, Book. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight walked through the halls of Canterlot castle. "And that's the last of the paper work." Night said as he walked along side Celestia "Luna is all caught up on all of her work." "I am glad." Celestia said with a smile "It's nice having her caught up." "I'm just doing my job your highness." Night said as he looked in front of them. He was surprise to see Twilight there this early in the morning. "Twilight, It's good to see you." Celestia said with a smile "And it's good to see you too Blaze." Celestia notice somepony was missing "Where is Spike?" "Spike is back at home with some gems." Twilight said with a smile. "What brings you by?" Celestia asked as they continued to walk down the hall. "I came to speak with you about a few things and i figured Blaze would want to come visit you and Luna." She said as they walked. "Well, Your lucky!" Night said "She just got back from her little trip." "When did she go on a tri-" Celestia was cut off by Night "You remember your highness, She went on that trip you sent her on." Celestia didn't know what was going on but she decided to go along with it "Oh, Right, I've been working so hard lately I completely forgot." "Anyways, If you want I can take Blaze to go visit Luna while you two talk." Night said. "Thank you Night." Twilight said as she used her magic to place her son onto his feet "You stay out of trouble, Alright?" "I will." Blaze said with a smile as he followed Night down the hall leaving the two Princess's alone to talk. Twilight watched as her son walked down the halls with Night which brought a smile to her face. "Now, What is it you wish to talk about?" Celestia asked. Twilight snapped out of her day dream and looked back at Celestia "I wanted to talk to you about Flash." "Oh? Something wrong?" She asked as they walked. "Flash and I have been fighting a lot lately... And i was wondering if maybe you could transfer him back to Canterlot for awhile till I can work out a few things." Twilight said keeping her eyes on the floor. "I see. I shall make the arrange meant's right away." Celestia said as they walked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna stepped out of her room with a smile on her face as she closed her door. "That will teach them not to hurt my Blaze like they did last night." Luna said as she made her way down the hall. Night turned the corner to see Luna walking away from her room "Oh Princess!" Night called out. Luna turned her head to see Night turning the corner "Night, I thought you would have gone home by no-" Her words were cut off when she saw Blaze standing next to Night "Night is going to get it when i'm done with him!" "See, I told you she would be surprised." Night said with a smile Blaze ran up to her and gave her leg a hug. "I'm happy your back from your trip!" Blaze said as he hugged her. Luna anger was quickly gone as she felt Blaze hug her "I'm happy i'm back too little one." "Well, I'll leave you two alone, I have a few things to do before I can leave." Night said as he waved good bye to the two as he made his way back down the hall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A dark figure watched as Night Shimmer walked way. "Soon, Soon I shall visit you my dear brother." The figure said as it moved through the shadows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Twilight found themselves outside in the garden. "So this Night Shimmer was hired right after i moved?" Twilight asked. "Yes, Came highly recommend by an old friend of mine." Celestia said "Luna didn't want his help at first but in time she excepted his help and it has been nice." "I bet, With her always visiting Blaze in his dreams it must make her happy knowing her work is done." Twilight said. This made Celestia raise and eyebrow "She has been visiting Blaze in his dreams?" "Yes, After I learned Flash nor Spike told Blaze to kiss this little filly named Blossom Cake. It dawned on me that Luna has been visiting my son's dreams." "So that's why you sent her a letter." Twilight blinked as the cogs in her head turned and it hit her like a ton of bricks "I didn't send her a letter." "I remember clearly you did send her a letter. It was with all those other letter's you sent me." She said. The cogs in her head turned even faster "NONONONONONONONONONONO! I didn't mean to send that to her! Spike must have thought that letter was meant to go but it wasn't!" Twilight was now in panic mode. "Clam down Twilight." Celestia said "I am sure this can all be fixed if you speak with her." Twilight froze in her spot "I-I need to go see her! I'll be right back!" She quickly took off running leave Celestia to chuckle "She is still the same as the day i met her." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night continued to walk down the hall with a saddle bag on his back as he had a check list hanging from his head "And I've got to get some hay and some oats along with some oat meal, Then I'll need to make sure the bakery is open tomorrow night so I can get those yummy honey buns, Then i need to stop by the book store to pick up that book everypony has been talking about, Then i need to ge-" Night's words were cut off as he felt somepony run right into him. Night fell to the ground with a thud as the paper rolled back up into his hat making him look face to face with Twilight Sparkle. Night felt his cheeks heat up as his mind went blank. Twilight and Night both continued to look into each other's eyes as they seemed to be lost in their own worlds. Night was the first to break out of his little day dream "Um... I don't want to sound rude but my back is starting to hurt." Twilight blinked then quickly jumped off Night "I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry to speak with Luna." Night got back onto his hoofs as he looked at Twilight "It is alright, Luna and Blaze should be in the kitchen getting something to eat. Well Luna might be getting something to eat since this is her dinner time." "T-Thanks." Twilight continued to look at Night. "Your welcome, I'm glad that you could come by the castle this morning." Night said. Twilight raised an eyebrow to this "Y-You are?" "Yeah, Luna said you sent her this angry yet detailed letter to her." "I-I didn't mean to send it to her! I was going to burn that stupid letter and forget the whole Blossom case." Twilight said as she felt guilty for even writing that stupid letter. "I had a feeling that letter wasn't meant for her." Night said "Why don't I take you to go see Luna?" "Y-You don't have to do that." "I do." Night said as he started walking. Twilight walked up along side him. "So... Blaze told me about you being raised by donkey's." Night just smiled "Yup, My mother and father were donkey's and so were my brother and sister." "And how did that happen... If you don't mind me asking?" "I don't mind at all, My mother was the one who found me, I was in a basket when they found me with a note attached to my blanket asking them to watch over me and keep me safe." Night looked over at Twilight "My real mother asked that they keep the name Night Shimmer. And that did." "Was it hard for you growing up with donkey's?" "It was, When I got my cutie mark." Night pointed to the night sky shimmering on his flank "They made fun of me for a long time. My sister and brother would help keep some of the bullies away, A few years later I made a few friends and I got to have a girlfriend for the first year of school till we figured it would be better to be friends." Night said as he chuckled of the memory of how they both tried to let the other down easy with out hurting each other. Twilight chuckled "So your friends and Family helped you out during school?" Night nodded "Even when I went to college in Manehattan it got easy for since i got to be with my own kind... But that still didn't work out in my favor when my brother and sister started getting bullied by some idiots and i stepped in to try and stop them but I got thrown into a dumpster and was ladled by the stupid stallion's donkey lover. I let it slide and moved forward. After college I got a job working at a book shop in Canterlot a few years back and then got sent here not to long ago." Night said to Twilight. Twilight was kinda surprised he would give her his whole life story. "We're here." Night said as he opened the door "I'll let you speak with Luna, It was nice talking with you Twilight and if you ever want to know more about me you know where to find me." Twilight blinked a few times "O-Okay... Thanks Night." "Any time your highness." He gave her a quick bow and made his way away from her. "H-He's really nice... I'll have to ask Luna what she thinks of him." Twilight thought as she walked into the kitchen to see Luna laughing with pudding in her mane and on her coat. "You think you can just throw that pudding at me and get away with it!?" She said as she used her magic to lift up some pudding. Twilight notice her son using a plate as a shield "You were the one who pushed my face into the cake!" Luna threw the pudding towards Blaze. Blaze tried his hardest to block the pudding but it wasn't good enough. Luna couldn't help but laugh as she watch Blaze remove the pudding from his eyes as he bent down and grabbed a large piece of cake "You wouldn't dare throw that me!" Luna said as she used her magic to pick up some more pudding. "Try me, Princess." Twilight slowly backed up out of the room knowing this wasn't going to end well. Just as she closed the door she heard Blaze war cry as she heard Luna scream. "Note to self: Keep all food locked up when Luna visits." Twilight as she heard the two laughing. She slowly opened the door to see Blaze and Luna both sitting at the table laughing as Luna used a rag to clean off Blaze face "I can't remember the last time I've had this much fun." Luna said as she got the last of the pudding and cake off Blaze face. "We have to do this more often." Blaze said as he watched Luna use her magic to remove the cake and pudding from her face. "I do not think so. I think the maids will be very upset if we keep making a mess in the kitchen." Luna said as she saw all of the cake and pudding all over the walls, Floors and ceiling. "How about in my dreams? We can make a big mess there and no pony has to clean it up." He said with a smile. "I'll think about." She said. "Wow, I leave you two alone and you make a huge mess in the kitchen... Glad this wasn't back home." Twilight said walking into the room "Looks like you'll have to have another bath before we do anything else today." She said with a smile. "It is my fault this happened." Luna said "I was only trying to make him laugh and it got out of hoof." "It is alright, I know you two are good friends." She said she notice Luna keeping her eyes away from her "Anyways, I wanted to talk with for a moment if that is alright with you?" Luna looked at Twilight "She's mad... I hope she allows me to see her son once in a while." Luna nodded "Of course." "Blaze you just stay here, We girls need to have talk just in the hall." Twilight said as the two walked out leaving Blaze to wonder what was going on. "Well... Auntie Cadance told me not to ease drop... And I won't." Blaze crossed his arms "Being good sucks." Blaze thought as he looked at the big mess in the room "I think we might have gotten a bit carried away... I hope I don't need to clean all this..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna stepped out and just waited for Twilight to yell or scream at her. "I'm sorry." Luna looked at Twilight with a shocked look on her face "That letter I sent you was never meant to be sent." Twilight said as she continued to speak "In my anger I over looked that Blaze see's you as a friend then a family member like the rest. You were his first friend, And as a friend you were just trying to help him out. I am sorry you had to read my angry letter but that is not how a feel and truth be told I am glad you are watching over him and keeping him safe in his dreams." Luna didn't know what to say "I am glad to know you do not truly feel that way about me." Twilight smiled "I'm going to need a foal sitter tomorrow since I have to handle a few things with some family member's, Do you think you could watch Blaze for me?" "Of course I can watch Blaze while you handle your family member's." Luna said with a smile. "Thank you, I'll bring him by first thing tomorrow morning." The bell rung singling it was noon "We better be going, I have to go shopping for a few things and Blaze wanted to get something with his bit's he saved up." Twilight opened the door "Come on Blaze, We have to get going." "Alright mom!" Blaze said getting off the chair and making his way towards his mother. "Bye you two, Have a great day." Luna said as they said their goodbyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night looked at his list in front of him. "I've gotten everything on my list... Wait forgot about that book at the book store." Night heard the bell ring "Great, It's noon... I'm going to be dragging at working tomorrow." Matt sighed as he made his way towards the book store. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze pouted as they entered the book store. "I thought we were going to go to my store first?" Blaze asked. "I just want to pick up that book everypony has been talking about." Twilight said as she looked through the rows of books. When she couldn't find the book she was looking for she walked up to the front desk. "Hello, How may I help you?" The mare asked with a smile. "Hello, I'm looking for a book call-" "The Time Hero. I'm sorry but I just sold my last copy to that stallion right there." The mare said pointing over to a blue stallion browsing through some books. "Night?" Night raised his head from a book he was looking through and saw Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Blaze Sparkle "Hey! Twilight, Blaze! Funny running into you two here!" "We have been running into each other lately." Twilight said with a smile. "I've notice. So, What brings you two here?" Night asked as he placed the book back on the shelf. "Well, I came here to see if I can find that book everypony has been talking about." "The Time Hero. Yeah, I just got my hoof's on the last copy in town." Night said pulling out the book "I was glad I put in an order." Twilight smile faded "Guess I'll have to wait for them to make more copy's." Night felt guilty knowing she wanted to read this book and knowing he had the last copy in town made him feel even worst "Here, You can borrow it." Night said holding out the book. "Y-You just got it. Go ahead and read it." She said pushing the book back. "No, You go ahead and read it. I think I can wait a little bit longer." He said placing the book in her saddle bag "And I won't take no for an answer." Twilight smiled as she let him place the book into her saddle bag "I'll bring it back to you when i finish it." "Sounds good to me." Night said. He notice the clock on the wall and notice it was now one O'Clock "I'll see you later Twilight, Enjoy the book." He said as he waved goodbye leaving Blaze and Twilight in the book store. "He's really nice." Blaze said. "He is." Twilight said as she made her way out of the book store with her son on her back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night placed his bag onto the table as he open the windows to air out the house. Night made his way to his room and placed the books he got from the book store and placed them on the nightstand. He then made his way towards the shower as he got a quick shower. After drying off he placed his towel into the dirty close and notice his towels pile of towels growing bigger "Might as well do a load before I go to bed." Night placed the towels into the washer as he made his way back towards his bed. "Do not turn around." A female voice said. He felt something sharp poke his side "If you're here to rob be... I don't keep my bit's here, I keep them at the bank." "I'm not here for bit's. I'm here to tell you stop searching for your sister. She's gone and will not come back." The female voice said. "You'll have to kill me then, I won't stop searching for her." He said as he felt the whatever this mystery mare was using as a weapon. "Trust me, You don't want to continue looking for her. She is gone." "No, She is not gone." Night said still looking towards his bed "She's alive, I can feel it." The figure slowly moved the weapon she was using on Night and slowly back up into the shadows "Please, Stop looking for her." Night quickly turned around to only see darkness in front of him. "W-Where did she go? And why does she want me to stop looking for Sunset?" Night thought as he looked inside the dark room only to find his cloths inside "I'll worry about that later." Night looked towards his bed as his tired mind was to tired to try and figure out what was going on. He climbed into bed and pull the cover's over his body as he got ready for a good day rest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The figure stood just outside of Night's room as she watched him lay in bed. "Please, Stop looking for me, I'm not worth finding brother." She jumped down off the roof and into the ally and made her way through the crowd and made her way towards the train station. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Continued.
