Two Stars. Different tales.

Morning Star I (I)

Celestia's Sun was rising over the land as there was one pegasus who was actually energenic to get working. The pegasus stepped out of his cloud home and watched the sun rise. He stood, high and proud. This pegasus was hardly seen in Cloudsdale as well as Ponyvile down below. He layed down on his cloud yard and smiled to himself. The pegasus had a messy mane that had two colors. A dark shade of red and orange. his tail was bushy as well the same colors. His wings were larger then most pegasi's. His eyes were a deep shade of crimson as he'd get up, looking at his cutie mark. As far as anyone who knew him; he was born with his cutie-mark. The cutie mark was a yellowish orange shooting star. He smiled. The Pegasus flapped his massive wings. He stood taller then most ponies as walk off his cloud yard, falling down slowly.
"Alright... I'm running low on stuff..Better go restock." The pegasus said, flapping his wings and landed on the ground below saftly. He'd soon fold his wings and trot down to Ponyvile. He visit Ponyvile once a month, but no one knew him that well besides the store owners he visits. When he trotted into the town, ponies were on their usual day. It hadn't changed sence the last time he'd been there. Ponies said 'Good Morning' and other greetings and went on. The pegasus hummed softly. Soon, the pegasus rounded a corner and saw his favorite sweet shop. The Sugercube Corner. He would walk in, the pony behind the counter wasn't Mrs.Cake like he always seen, but infact, a pink mare with a bushy mane. The pegasus blinked, seeing the new counter pony.
"Oh hi!" The pink mare had greeting the pegasus cheerfully. "How are you and WHO are you?" She asked, she smiled all the while. The pegasus would smile back.
"I'm Morning Star. And I'm doing fine." Morning said. "And who are you?"
"I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said cheerfully. "I'm taking over while the Cakes are doing their shopping. But its booooring." The mare complained, putting her hooves to her cheek. Morning trotted over.
"Well... I put an order in the other day. It was 6 boxes of a dozen cupcakes." Morning told the mare.
"Oh! Mrs. Cake said something about that this morning!" She replied. Then she'd litterly hop back into the kitchen, later, casually walking with 6 boxes of cupcakes on her back.
"Here you are!" Pinkie Pie replyed. Setting the boxes on the counter. "Mrs. Cake said you payed when you placed the order if I'm not mistake?" She'd blinked, still having a cheerful smile on her face. Morning just nodded.
"You should come visit again sometime! You seem like you know your way around" Pinke commented. Morning was getting his boxes of cupcakes into his saddle bag which was incredably large. Morning just laughed.
"Thanks, but I tend not too. You know...Being big and all, I tend to avoid being stand out. But why not!" Morning smiled at the mare. The mare giggled.
"Well, see you next time." Pinkie waved as Morning walked out.
Morning would walk a few steps and looked around. He would then gallop towards his favorite farm, and possibly the only farm he knew of who actually grew food, Sweet Apple Orchurs. He ran up to the barn, to see a golden tan mare with blonde mane and tail, at the end of each blonde hair, was tied up like a smort pony tail. The eyes of the mare were emerald as which also shone quite a lot of energy. Morning Star skidded infront of her. This was his colt-hood friend. Applejack.
"Howdy, partnah. One your monthly stocking trip?" Applejack looked at his huge saddles. MorningStar shifted to support the weight ofthe sweets.
"Of course. You know. the usual. 3 large bags of the finest apples in Equestria." Morning Star smiled.
"Why of course! Possibly the BEST Apple farm around. It comes once in a life time, and this here farm is not gonna go anywhere any time soon ah reckon." Ay-Jay smiled brightly. It was true. The farm had been here for almost 5 generations according to her. Soon to be 6 with Ay-Jay little sister, Applebloom.
"Here yef arfe" Applejack grunted while pulling the three bags at once with LITTLE ease. Morning Star grabbed the bags and dumped the apples into his other saddle. This was 2/3 of his trip. He needed to return home to drop off the saddle. He'd start to flap his wings. He was used to the weight. So he floated a bit.
"Well, Morning, better get the rest of yer stuff while the morning is still young!" Applejack told him. Morning nodded.
"I'll stop by later. Say 'hi' to your friends for me!" He called as he flew off. He'd reach his cloud home above the clouds. He'd open the cloud door and set the saddle. He looked around his home, seeing only 3 total rooms. His bedroom, which had a simple cloud. His kitchen, which was also like a storage holding the remaining apple and sweets from the last visit. He looked around the largest room, his living room. It had a couch, a window which was just an open hole. His few childhood toys, and a picture of himself, ungulped in red inferno when he was only a small colt. He smiled as he saw the picture. That's when he found out his cutie mark meaning. He trotted back out and flapped his wings. He went up a level. Sence it was pointless in making a fleet of stairs, he had the costruction team made a large padio for the upstairs with a telescope, and inside, was a Map of the Star's he had half completed. He wanted to complete that as soon as possible. All around where his books he had bought at a young age about Astromony and Constellations. He'd smile as he'd lean agaist the cloud railing. His final step was to wait.
Wait for Ditzy, the mail pegasus. Morning would look at the high noon of Celestia's Sun. Soon, a grey pegasus with an unnatural blonde mane would soon land saftly infront of MorningStar.
"Hey there. Got the mail for me today?" Morning Star asked Ditzy. Ditzy nodded, without talking, she had handed him the only mail he usually recieves every month, a letter from the Princess herself. He would go down to the living room, grabbing and apple, and started to eat, unfolding the letter with his spare hoof.


To my faithful Morning Star,
It has been quite a while, once again, this is the monthly report. The 'Morning Comet' will occur at 6:23am, sharp. It will not be until another week or 2. Luna is getting her assisent, Evening Coment, for the Evening Star. We will plan more arrangement at dinner the two days before! You are humbly invited to my castle, to meet my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, as well as her friends. Maybe you'd even join them in their adventures in ponyvile.
Sincerly
Princess Celestia.

Morning Star blinked. 'Evening Comet'? Twilight Sparkle? Her friends? He had no idea who they were. He looked out the door, and saw that dusk had started to settle in. He'd yawn loudly. He'd flutter to his cloud, this was normal. His wings seemed to have a mind of their own, as they'd drop themselves to Morning Star side, as the white colt slept.
