Rainbow Dash was busting up clouds while Twilight Sparkle was sitting on the ground reading a book on the theory of flying. "Okay so wind factor, and direction of flight do count when it comes to controlling my flight." Rainbow swooped down and grabbed the book from Twilight, "HEY!" She yelled. "Why are you reading this, Twilight?" Rainbow asked as she flew around dodging trees and spinning clouds. "Just do what I do, and you will be flying like a pro in no time." Twilight rolled her eyes as Rainbow hit the trunk of a tree. She slid down rubbing her head. "Thanks for the offer, Rainbow, but I think that I would rather keep my head in the books than in the trees," Twilight giggled. Rainbow rolled her eyes, "Oh Ha Ha very funny." "TWILIGHT, RAINBOW!" Spike, yelled as he ran up to the two. Twilight and Rainbow shared a look of worry."What's going on?" Twilight asked. Spike stopped when he got to them. He had is claws on his knees and was panting. He handed Twilight the letter. Twilight opened the letter and read out loud, "Princess Twilight Sparkle, you along with your advisers, are greatly needed here in Canterlot. Signed, Princess Celestia." Twilight looked confused. "Okay, Rainbow spread the word. Spike, lets go we need to reply to Celestia." Soon, the girls were on the train. Rarity and Apple Jack shared a seat. Fluttershy and Rainbow were across from them. The seat next to them Pinkie Pie was sitting across from Twilight and Spike. "What could be so important that is disturbed my luxurious mud bath?" Rarity asked. "Don't know, but it sounded important. " Rainbow said. "Maybe Discord is acting up," Apple Jack said. "No, he wouldn't do that. He's changed," whispered Fluttershy. "OH OH OH!!!! Maybe it's a surprise birthday party for Twilight. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWILIGHT!!!!" Pinkie Pie screamed as she bounced around. "Pinkie, it is not my birthday." Twilight set her hoof on the window sill. "I hope it's nothing serious." The train came to a stop, the girls jumped off and there was a carriage waiting for them. The guards saw the girls approaching. "OPEN THE GATE, IT'S PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" One of them yelled as the gate. The gate slowly opened as the girls ran through. "Thank you," They all said in unison. They ran on up the stairs and were soon met with Shining Armor. "Twili, hey kiddo." Twilight and the girls stopped all of them struggling to catch their breath. "Wha...going...on?" Twilight managed to get out. "Come with me guys. Cadence is already inside." They followed Shining Armor inside. "This is going to be one of the biggest days in history." Apple looked confused, "Why, what is going on?" "Well you do know that Princess Luna and Celestia can basically immortal?" Shining Armor began. The girls just nodded. "So, there would really be no need for them to bare any young, right?" The girls nodded again. "Well...see...I don't want to spoil the surprise so just follow me." After a good 20 minutes of seeing servants running around and guards losing their minds, Rainbow exploded, "I can't take it anymore. Will any pony tell us what the buck is going on? First the letter, and the rushing to get here and the background knowledge that everypony already knows about. What is going on!?" They stopped in front of a door where crying could be heard. The girls looked at one another then they proceeded forward. Shining Armor put a hoof forward, "You guys have to stay out here. Only Twilight can go in at the moment." Twilight looked at her friends, and they all nodded their heads that they will be okay. Spike jumped off of her back and joined the others. She proceeded forward as the door opened and slammed shut right behind her. About an hour later, the door creaked open, and the girls were allowed to enter. "Come on in girls," Twilight whispered. The girls and Shining Armor slowly tiptoed into the room. The room was exactly what you would expect, dark shades of blue and black covered the walls and curtains. On the roof were stars waiting to be released into the night. One big bed in the center of the room, and in the corner was a pile of books. Princess Cadence and Celestia were standing on either side of the bed and in the middle of that bed was Princess Luna, surrounded by pillows. She had one of her wings outstretched. The girls all walked up to the bed curiously. Luna sighed; her mane was a mess, and she fought her eyes to stay open. "Hey Luna you okay?" Fluttershy whispered. Luna nodded her head as she slowly moved her outstretched wing. The girls all awed in shocked as they saw a tiny alicorn bundled up on Luna's side. It had a Luna's blue-violet coat, a midnight black mane with one transparent strip running through it, a midnight black tail to match with a dark red tip. The girls eyes boggled, as the little alicorn yawned. "Filly or Colt?" Rarity asked. Luna gently petted her baby with her wing. "Filly." "She's perfect," Cadence said as Shining Armor hugged her close. Pinkie got closer to the little alicorn looking her over. "Happy Birthday, you are zero years old today." Luna looked down her foal. She began to fidget. "What are you going to name her?" Spike asked as he hopped onto the bed. Luna smiled, "Well, I was going to call her Moonbeam." "Princess Moonbeam. I like the sound of that," Spike said. Twilight gave him a look, and he hopped off of the bed. Moonbeam started to whimper, soon turned into crying. Luna looked down at Moonbeam, and smiled as she used the blanket to cover them up, and used her magic to adjust the foal. "Sorry everyone, she's hungry," Luna said as she laid her head down on a pillow. "I think it is time we took out leave," Celestia said as everyone started to leave the room. "I just have one question," Spike said running up to the bed. "Who is the father?" Luna looked down at her hooves, and Twilight gave him another look. "I would rather not talk about it." Then with that everyone left the room. "Really, Spike, you had to ask that?" Twilight yelled/whispered at him. "Sorry, I was just curious," Spike said as he shrugged his shoulders. Luna watched as Moonbeam slept. There was a soft knock on the door. "Come in." Celestia entered Luna's room. She walked over and sat by the bed. She gently placed a hoof on Luna's head, brushing some of her stray hairs. "I hate to tell you what to do but, you have to tell him." Luna shook Celestia's hoof of her head as she shook her head. "I won't do it." "He has a right to know. Besides, I feel that she will be more powerful than we can ever imagine." Luna looked at Moonbeam worried, "Why do you say that?" "Because she is the first foal born of dark magic that doesn't have a corrupted soul. She will be able to harness your magic and his. You are going to need his help. Unless you plan on reading up on dark magic." Celestia said. Luna sighed as she looked at her sister, "Tia, I want to, I really do. Even though he is sick and twisted, I still have feelings for him. The way he talked to me, treated me. He made me feel wanted and special. It was only natural that we would act on those feelings but . . . I don't know. How will he react? What if he isn't happy about her?" "If he does truly love you then he will do whatever it takes to be with you and Momo," Celestia said. "Yes, but the question is will he change? He can't be a good father if he continues with his current behavior," Luna said as she looked down at Moonbeam and planted a gentle kiss onto her forehead. "Well, there is only one way to find out." Celestia smiled. Unknown to both princess' there was a little black and blue bug like creature flying right outside of the window. Meanwhile "Ah, so the younger one has bared a child, huh? Well, considering who her father is she must be the most powerful little creature in all of Equestria. This could get interesting."
