A Beautiful Night

Going Away

As she felt the weight of the bed shift she slowly started to wake up, and once she was fully conscious she tried to open her eyes. Though her memory was a bit fuzzy she remembered enough to know that Song had put a sleeping spell on her. As her eyes focused on her surroundings she sees her sister's student and her friends looking at her in complete shock and fear. That's when she noticed that Song was not with them in his hospital room, and that's when what happened a little before the sleeping spell.

"Please tell me you stopped him for going to find the creature?" She asked in complete panic looking around the room.

"I-I'm sorry Luna there was nothing we could do to stop him from going." Twilight answered swallowing nervously.

"I must find him or else he'll get himself killed." She said standing up about to leave but then a hoof grabbed her.

"Listen hear now he made us promise not to let you go cause of your pregnancy." Applejack said making her tone even to not make her angry.

"And I appreciate that you are trying to keep that promise, but I must find him and stop him. Do you remember that he is the host of the creatures magic and power? If he comes in contact with the host who has it's mind then he may be taken over." She replied with a look of annoyance as she pushed the orange ponies hoof off of her. "Now I must go."

"Please Luna he did have a point when he said that it is his fight, and he does have much magic power. I'm sure he can handle himself but you are pregnant, and if something were to happen to you or the baby... it would crush him completely." Twilight managed to say.

"I WILL NOT LOSE HIM AGAIN!" She suddenly said in the Canterlot royal voice her horn glowing as she blasted the wall completely down.

"No wait, think about what Twilight just said Luna! If something were to happen to you then he would be the one who is crushed!" Rainbow managed to say before she took off into the air flying out of what used to be a wall.

"Well now what do we do?" Pinkie asked looking around but setting her eyes on Twilight for an answer.

"We have to inform Princess Celestia about what happened and wait for a response, I need to go back home to write the letter and have Spike send it. You all explain um...this." Twilight said pointing to the hole in the wall before running out of it herself before they had the time to respond.

He couldn't help but look back at the Ponyville Hospital and wondering if he had made the right choice of leaving Luna. Though he knew that Twilight and her friends could only buy him a few moments at best he had to at least hide if he wants to go through with it. But a stab of guilt still ran through his body as he stated to take off again.

For why would somepony just leave the one who they love and that one is pregnant? To protect them from a dangerous enemy that he knows will not give up on getting all of it back. After all it's been waiting for centuries just to escape a simple cave hidden inside the countries capital.

Suddenly he could hear Luna shouting and he picked up his pace in order to prevent her from finding him. Just as he made it to the edge of the Everfree Forest he heard what he knew was Luna blasting her way through a wall. He turned to see her flying out of the hole she had made with a look of anger and sadness.

"I am sorry my princess but I have to do this. Not for me, but for you, for our foal." He said tears rolling down his face as he turned and went into the forest.

"So Celesti, what's the schedule for today?" She asked as she returned to her post.

"Well you know that you need to take it easy, but I know I can't stop you from doing what you want. But as for me I have a meeting with the Minotaur ambassadors today. Apparently they want more farm land in Equestria even though we have donated a good sized chunk of farmland to them already." Celestia let out a stressed sigh. "I have to convince them that they already have enough without starting a war between our two countries. After all we just made it through a war with the Changelings."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. So do you need me for anything?" She asked putting a comforting hoof on Celestia.

"Yes, I would like you to accompany me to this meeting. I believe with your presence there the ambassadors won't get that upset." Celestia answered with a small smile.

"You know I may just leave you if you keep using my pregnancy like this." She replied with a knowing smile.

"Oh you wouldn't leave me because you love it when I do stuff like this..." Celestia suddenly leaned over and gave a light kiss to her neck.

"Y-you're such a tease, now I think we have to get you to a meeting." She said with a annoyed look.

"Fine let's..." Just then a green wisp came into view and a letter suddenly appeared. "Oh a letter from Twilight, this can wait until later."

After Celestia put the letter away to were she would read it first thing she came back they made their way to the palace's meeting room. Shortly after they arrived the negotiations started and at first it didn't go well. A few hours went by and they settled on the land already given to them and the meeting was over.

"So you going to read that letter from Twilight?" She asked nudging Celestia.

"Oh yes, I had almost forgotten." Celestia smiled down at her marefriend soon to be wife, and she couldn't help but look at her stomach and her smile grew wider.

"You know if you keep smiling like that you'll end up showing your age." She suddenly spoke up when seeing the expression Celestia was using, it was all to known to her.

"Hey, I may be old compared to normal ponies but in Alicorns years i'm as young as you." Celestia said with fake offense.

"And how many Alicorns are there? Three that's how many, and out of all of them you are the oldest." She said with a smirk.

"Fine, let's just go get Twilight's letter." Celestia let out a defeated sigh. "You know if those Minotaur's had as much negation skills that you do they would probably have gotten more land."

"Yes, but then again they don't know you like I do." She replied with a small wink.

They soon made it back to Celestias personal study and as she laid down on one of the large pillows Celestia retrieved the letter. She came and laid down next to her and they were both wondering what kind of lesson that Twilight or one of her friends had learnt. But as Celestia started to read her heart sank as her marefriend's expression changed from one of anticipation and excitement to one of fear, shock, and panic.

"What's wrong? What does it say?" She asked trying to get Celestia's attention.

"I-it's Song, he's gone missing and so has Luna." Celestia finally answered.

"What?!" She shouted in shock.

"Apparently last night Song fainted as the Ponyville new year's celebration begun and today when he woke up he teleported out of the hospital. After he told them that he was going after the creature, and Luna went after him to stop him." Celestia said looking around starting to get up.

"M-maybe Luna will find him and bring him back." She said.

"That's not what i'm worried about, what I am is that they'll be going into Changeling territory. If Song is caught he will either be completely drained of magic thus killing him, and before you ask remember he is the host of the creature's magic and immortality. Or he would become the complete host of the creature. If Luna is caught she would be used as bait for Song, and their baby would most likely become the host of the creature." Celestia replied. "So we need to stop both of them."

"Celestia!" Celestia turned in shock at her raised voice. "I'm sorry for doing that but listen, if Song does have the creatures magic that means it's very powerful magic. Since it was the magic that first created the Changelings and gave the creature immortality, so i'm sure he will not go down without a fight. As for your sister she is an alicorn princess and as such she can take care of herself, and if she can't then Song would rather die trying to save her then have her suffer at the hooves of those Changelings. I'm not saying to not send out some Royal Guards to retrieve them, but have faith that neither one of them will be captured." She was now looking at Celestia straight in the eyes.

"Y-you're right, i'll send only some of the Royal Guard. I hope that they'll be safe." Celestia said closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

"You just have to trust me, they will be just fine." She said though once Celestia opened her eyes to look at her marefriend there was a smile on her face that she did not recognize.
