//------------------------------// // Train Ticket To Mom (Mothers' Day Special) // Story: Warriors Of Light // by Peaceheart //------------------------------// Train Ticket To Mom (Mothers' Day Special) Moon, Earth and Ocean were all talking about Canterlot, when an elderly pegasus mare with purple fur, dark blue eyes and a grey mane appeared at the door of their car. "Hello, can we help you?" Ocean asked when she noticed the mare. Earth and Moon turned at looked at the mare. The mare didn't answer, but kept her gaze on Moon. "Well, I was wondering if I could see my son?" the mare asked as she stepped forward. The ponies looked at each other before looking back at the mare. "Um... may I ask, who is your son?" Moon asked as the mare kept walking up to them. The mare had a sad expression, but extended her hoof to touch Moon's face. "Well, Moon Star, I'm your mother Cloud Storm," the mare named Cloud Storm said. Moon and his friends looked at her. "No, you can't be my mother, you wouldn't have abandoned me!" Moon yelled angrily as he slapped Cloud's hoof away. Ocean and Earth looked at Moon as if he was crazy, then looked at Cloud with a sad gaze when Moon said that she abandoned him. "Moon, dear, I have to give you up. It hurt me so much, but that was the only way for you to be safe," Cloud said with tears as she extended her hoof, but Moon slapped it away again. "You aren't my mother! She would have never abandoned me in the hospital! You don't how me and I don't know me! You got the wrong pony, Cloud!" Moon yelled as he faced her with an angered expression. "Moon, if your father and I didn't leave you, you wouldn't be here. You would have been captured and killed by the Execute Team. Your father and I scarified you only to protect you," Cloud said as she hugged Moon. "Did dad die to protect me?" Moon asked with uncertainty. Cloud looked at him, and he knew it was true. This was his mother that was protecting him by leaving him. He looked at Cloud then hugged her as he cried. "I'm sorry I had to leave you, Moon. I truly am," Cloud said as she stroked Moon's back. "I-I'm just h-happy you're a-alive, mom," Moon said as he wiped his tears. "You left Moon?" Earth asked. Moon and Cloud turned and looked at him. "You see Moon's father, Golden Flame, was being hunted by the Execute Team. They wanted to kill us before Moon as born. They wanted to stop me from giving birth. If I didn't give birth to you, Moon, my father, Turbo Fire, wouldn't have given you your destiny. You are Turbo Fire's grandson, which means that you are Moon Star the Brave. Your father and I knew that you would fulfill the prophecy. We had to make sure that the Execute Team didn't know you were born. We had to leave to protect you, and we are sorry that it caused you pain," Cloud said as she hugged Moon. "I know it was for my good," Moon said as he hugged Cloud back. "So Moon didn't know that you were his mother?" Ocean asked. "No, we had to escape and lie to them," Cloud said. "Does that mean we are apart of the prophecy?" Earth asked. "Yes, you, Earth, are Hammer Smash's descendant, you are Earth Crash the Strong. Ocean is Ocean Tide the Kind and I'm Moon Star the Brave," Moon said with a smile. The train came to a stop at Canterlot Train Station and everypony except Cloud exited the train. "Aren't you coming mom?" Moon asked. "I can't, the Execute Team is looking for me, I can't let them find you all," Cloud said as she hugged her son. "Okay, mom, be careful, I don't want to lose you too," Moon said with tears as he hugged Cloud back. "I will, son. You be careful now, okay?" Cloud asked. "We will, count on it," Moon said with a smile after wiping his tears away. "All aboard!" the train conductor yelled. "Bye, Moon, make me proud," Cloud said as she moved back from the door. "I will, we all will!" Moon yelled with happiness. The train began to move and Cloud sat by the window and waved to them. The others waved to her as she began to disappear. Moon turned to the others with a smile and said, "Let's find our next warrior!" "Yeah!" Earth said as they walked onto Canterlot's streets.
