Chapter 8: Pipsqueak


The Morning After


*Yawn*

Is it morning already? Hey...wait...This is my room. I'm on my bed. Oh dear Celestia, the sun is already up?

*GASP!* The show! What?!?! I...I fell asleep? NOOO!!!

“Nooo!!! I fell asleep! Princess Luna!!!”

Mum comes in bursting through my door.

“Pipsqueak! Are you alright?!”

“Mum Mum! Did I fall asleep? I...I was Princess Luna's escort and I fell asleep!??”

“Oh Pip!” Mum says, relieved. I guess I kinda shouted. Mum probably thought I was having a nightmare.

“Well...yes darling, you fell asleep. But really, don't worry about it. I'm sure the Princess understands. Like I said, you are, after all, still a young colt who needs his sleep.”

“But Mum, I...”

“And besides, Princess Luna was kind of off after the show. Like something was bothering her very much. She carried you and hugged you as you dozed before leaving you with me.”

“I didn't even got to finish the show, Mum,” I say, pretty downcast I might add. And with only one performance left, too. That must have been the grand finale, and I Missed It! Gah!” I say as I press my face upon my pillow and flail my legs in exasperation. 

“You and several other foals deary. You weren't the only foal who fell asleep,” Mum says. “In fact, I even saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon on Mr. Rich's back snoozing like babies...” 

“You saw Dai and Sil, sleeping on Mr. Rich’s back snoozing like babies?” I ask Mum.

“Uh, yes. Like I said, you weren’t the only foal sleeping, son,” Mum tells me as she stroke my mane. 

Darn, it would have been great to have pictures of those two in such an embarrassing situation. To be able to blackmail them like Dai did the CMC when she was the Foal Free Press editor. That would be too good.

I ask Mum further, “What else did you see after the show, Mum?”

“Oh, reporters were doing interviews and taking pictures after the show, dear,” she says.

That’s...quite interesting, hehehe.

“Oooh, really now? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the newspapers then. Thank you, Mum. You make quite the spy,” I say with a grin.

“Hmm, you are planning something son. Anyway, best be up now, Pip dear. It’s the last day of the weekend. Were you not going to spend the day with your friends?” she asks.

“Yes, me, Button, and the Crusaders are off to the arcade. And maybe even Dinky. Wait! Mum! My brochure of last night's show! Where is it!?”

“It’s on your desk, dear.”

“Oh, thank you, Mum! You’re a lifesaver!”
