Oh well, I guess I won't be seeing Princess Luna. This place is so big I'll just let Mum lead the way. We enter the big theater doors made of fancy shiny varnished wood. Or is it an auditorium? I really don't know. I'm just a colt. But they have shows here like musicals and operas and concerts. Is it a concert hall then? Gosh! This aisle is wider than the aisle in a movie theater. An usher stallion hands us a couple of folded paper that look like brochure-things. Hmmm. Wait, there she is! Princess Luna, beside Princess Celestia! “PRINCESS LUNA! PRINCESS LUNA!” “Shuushshshs Pipsqueak!” Ooops! Sorry Mum...again. Uh...Princess Luna is coming this way. “*Giggle* It's alright, fair madam. Hello, Pipsqueak. I heard you were going to be here.” Oh Princess... “I, uh, yes, that's right. Well, here we are, heheh.” “Do you usually go to the orchestra, my dear Pip?” “Well, no, your highness,” I answer. Mum then says, “But I believe that little foals could use a little class and culture from time to time.” Class?!? I already go to school! “But Mum, I already have class. In fact I'll be back there on Monday!” Both the Princess and my Mum laugh. Was it something I said? “Hahaha! Oh Pip!” says Princess Luna as she smiles at me. I like it when she smiles... “Fair Madam, may I borrow Pipsqueak for the duration of the performance?” ...at me. Wait what? She wants to “borrow” me? To watch the show...with her?! Oh please say yes Mum Please Say Yes! Nodding with all vigor at my Mum here...I hope she gets the message. “Haha, of course your highness. How can I deprive my son time with his favorite Princess?” Thank you thank you thank you Mum! You're the best Mum ever! “Thank you thank you thank you Mum! You're the best Mum ever!” Uh, did I just say that out loud? Oh, calm down, you're making a fool of yourself! Deep breaths, calm down, and be composed. I wave goodbye to Mum. Well, it’s not actually goodbye because she's just be a few rows away from me while I sit with Princess Luna along with the other Alicorn Princesses. And the dignitaries...and Gryphon delegates...wow. I cannot wait to tell my friends back in Ponyville. Speaking of which, there they are! Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. I wave at them, and they wave back at me. This will be a night to remember! “Stand beside me, dear one. I have to greet our guests, the dignitaries, as they go to their seats.” “Yes Princess!” I answer as regally as I know how. After all, I'm Princess Luna's escort now. Heeheee! I stand there, next to her, as gallantly as I can, like one of the royal guards. Chest out Pip! She greets them, one dignitary after another, and another...and another. She even introduces me to some of them who found me...cute. Oh gosh! Here comes the Gryphon delegates. Wow! Look at those eyes, those claws, their wings are bigger than most pegasus wings. They all look so powerful and exotic. Now I really can't wait to tell the guys back in Ponyville! *GULP!* That one with the fancy gauntlets bowed his head at me. He must be a Gryphon Knight or something. Sooo cooool! I'm so glad I'm next to Princess Luna! “*Giggle* Is something the matter, dear Pip?” “No, Princess...it’s just that gryphons are...are...” I stammer. “Awe-inspiring?” Yes Princess, that's what they are.  “Come now Pip, let us take our seat as well,” my Princess says. The Princess and I walk over to her seat. We pass by Princess Twilight's seat, and then Princess Celestia's. I know because it’s got their royal seals on top, which is also their cutie marks. They all look like thrones. Even Princess Luna's, with her royal seal on top. I'll be squeezed in with her... Oh...my…
