//------------------------------// // Ch.12 // Story: F.A.T.E 2 // by kyuubi gear //------------------------------// Chapter 12: a request that we ask of you Celestia and Luna walked down the corridor as they reached the meeting room. Celestia still tried to figure out what this was all about but quickly put it aside as they opened the doors. As they walked inside they saw the other mane 12 sitting around the table with there heads down as they looked over at celestia and Luna. "ah your here" twilight said. Celestia smiled at her star student as Luna spoke up. "of course, we wouldn't want to miss seeing our beloved friends" Luna said as she and her sister took a seat. "so, what would you like to disuse to us about? The letter that you sent us said it was something improtant" celestia said. The mane 12 remained silent for a bit until one of them spoke up "about that" max said "this conversation that were about to have is very important". "very well" celestia said "so what are we going to talk about?". "one thing" sam said "our children". Celestia didn't say anything as Luna spoke up "but wait, what does this has to do with my sister and I?" she asked. Jack then spoke up "well, about that part. The twelve of us have all thought about this for a long time. We realized that you and your sister as well as princess cadance and shining armor have been so kind to us, how you accepted us, how you always been there for us, the list goes on and on" jack finished with pinkie pie snickering. Both of the princess's chuckled a bit "I understand what your saying, but I still sort of don't understand what your all trying to get at" celestia said truthfully. that's when applejack pulled out a piece of paper that had the elements of harmony seal on it, "then maybe this will help ya out princess" applejack said as she slid the paper of to them, princess Luna levitated the paper over to her as she read it. Her eyes widened as she finished catching celestia's attention. "Luna what's wrong?" celestia asked. Luna didn't say anything as she gave the paper over to her as celestia looked over it. As she read it she was just as shocked as Luna. She laid the paper down as she looked at the mane 12. "no.." was all she could mutter out of her mouth. "celestia" twilight said seeing the princess's sad look plastered on her face. "you don't have to do this, w-we could let discord and Lucy take care of this" Luna said trying her best not to sound upset. "it didn't go too well" Clayton said "as soon as we told my sister she held onto me telling me that she and discord were going to work on something to change this, but we told them that it wouldn't work". Celestia stood up and walked over to twilight "but why...why would you want to go through with this? I mean we can change this, that way this will never happen" celestia said still in a bit of shock, twilight shook her head "but we don't want that, that's why were doing this now once the time comes" she said "princess I'm sorry. We truly are, but we can't be around forever". Princess celestia then held her star student in her hoofs "but we could...t-that way we-" twilight broke out of her grip "I'm sorry, but we have all made up our minds on this" she said as they all then got up from there seats and walked out the door. But not before max walked over to the princess's and hugged then tightly "will give you time to think about it" he said as he walked out. Princess celestia and Luna just stood at the door silently, celestia then levitated the paper over to her as she looked at it. She sighed, and placed the paper on the table. "I'll send a letter to cadance and shining armor" she said "they need to hear about this as well". "do you think they'll be alright with this?" Luna said with a worried tone. Celestia shook her head "no, you and I both know that cadance sees twilight and max as a brother and sister, as well as shining armor. They have sent a few letters on how they have all spent time with each other, and how they have so much fun. But...this". "will break there hearts". "yes...to be honest I sort of feared that this would happen, but I had always put it in the back of my mind. but now we have no choice". Luna nodded at her as she then walked out of the room "I'll send them a letter right now" she said with a bit of sadness in her voice. As she left celestia walked over to the table and sat in her seat as she glanced at the paper and read over it: By the authority of the mane twelve, we hear by ask: Princess Celestia Princess Luna Princess Cadance Prince Shining Armor To be the ones in the care of: Sara, child of twilight sparkle and max Megan, child of applejack and sam Raven, child of rarity and Corey Axel, child pinkie pie and jack Vergil, child of fluttershy and dillon Kain, child of rainbow dash and Clayton Should we pass away, we entrust you to be there guardians, step parents, aunt and or uncle. This also includes there future children to be watched over as well. Once they have reached a certain age, the maximum being 30. Then they will be on there own. Celestia sighed as she took the letter and placed it under her wing, as she walked out of the Council room she was greeted by one of her guards. "oh, a thousand pardons your highness" he said "I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting" he said. Celestia shook her head at him "that's quite alright, the meeting has been done with" she said "is something the matter?". "no princess, but I have come here to give you a letter" he said as he pulled it out, as celestia levitated it with her magic. She raised an eyebrow at it as she glanced at her subject. "I wonder who sent this?" she thought out loud. The guard then spoke up to answer her question. "the sender of this letter was none other than your father".
