Generations to come.

The beginning

I ignore the rest of his comments, but eventually, he knocks down on of the doors, and there is a frustrated look on his face.

"There!" He growls."Stupid door."
I clap my hooves, I am getting old... if your wondering what Sunrise is doing, he is training.

"Nice job!" I smile." Now, you might be late for the school dance."
Sunrise has a crush on this lucky mare named Serenity Thunder. She was a blank flank, but Sunrise had his cutie mark. I some times think about him. About if Thunder is just using him but I don't want to break his small heart, so I keep it to myself.

"Bye, mom!" He smiles.
Every time I mention Thunder, he blushes and smiles. Young love for a prince like him, especially if he's that attached... is dangerous.

~o~

I look around for Thunder. There were so many ponies around, I just couldn't see her, until someone shoved me from the side.

"Hey!" She smiles.
It was almost as she was glistening with beauty. She looked even better in that little blue dress of hers.

"Hi." I stammer.
Stop it, Sunrise! Talk normally!

"Remember when we met?" She giggles.

"I remember it too clearly." I tease her.

It was the first day in middle school. Every pony crowded over me in mobs, but there was this one, sort of, shy pony who sat in the corner. All alone. Since she wasn't really a fan, I decided to introduce myself, and let me just say, she looked way cuter up close than far away.

"Hi! I'm Sunrise Journey!" I flirt.

"I know." She mumbles.

"Great!" I smile thoughtfully.

"You're probably one of those snobby popular ponies." She says, not looking up.
Let me just say, my mouth literally FELL at that comment.

"What?!" I sputter.
She laughs a little.

"You're the son of the princess. You probably think you're so special."

"Give him a break, Violet. He's been paraded by ponies!" Another mare snickered.
So many pretty ponies.

"I'm Serenity Thunder, but you better call me Thunder." She winked.

"I'm-" I start.

"We know who you are douche bag." Violet growled.
Oh- Kay...

"Oh pfft, you thought Violet was cute?" Thunder laughed.

"Sort of?" I smile.
Did I just see a hint of jealousy in her eyes?

"So..." She mumbled.
What now. The dj suddenly started playing guitar-love songs.

"May I have this dance?" I smiled.
She stared at me for a while. Her blue curls were sparkly today.

"Sure." She grinned, her face a pink shade.
We danced, and it was fun. But time was wasted, and I had to walk her home.

"Good night." She smiled.
Why does this night feel bare. Empty.

"Yeah." I smiled.
A force pushes me, and I find my lips connected to hers. Our first kiss, and before either of us could savor it, we both pulled back, blushing.

"Sorry-" I say.
But before I could finish, I peek a look at her, and see her half smiling, and half in awe. She wraps her hooves around me and we kiss again. Her tongue wraps around mine.

Why does her tongue taste like candy fruit punch?
I push that thought out of my head, and let her lips push my lips apart. It hurts a bit, but the pain subsides and joy prickles in when she pushes herself towards me. But her porch light comes on, and we pull back.

"Good night." She smiles, blushing.

"Good night." I smile.

-o-

I have graduated high school, made friends with my cousin,and learned the power of the sun, but why does my life feel empty?

"Is it because Thunder isn't in it?" Mom asked.

"I don't know!" I yell.
My mom sits back, worried.

"Let's go..." Mom sighed.
Obediently, i followed. She led me to the beach. It had some kind of podium on it.

"Here's where I banished your aunt, Luna... it was the worst day of my life." she started. Her voice was shaking.

"You banished aunt Luna?" I asked.

"Yes... into the moon." She trembled.
My mom, banished her own sister? Into... the moon? Will I have to end up banishing Moon Prancer into the moon... too?

"Don't worry. Moon Prancer isn't that mean." She said, like she was reading my mind.
I nod my head. The thought brings tears to my eyes.

I can imagine the scenario so clearly. If I had to banish Moon Prancer,I would be devastated. No, it's almost impossible... but... can it be true? What if it does happen?

---

Almost like a strong memory. It happened so quickly. Mother died. Father died. Our families, our entire family, crumpled, and Moon Prancer... turned evil.

"You see, Sunrise. Mother was holding me in, like a cage! So I could contain my jealousy! But, now she's dead!" Moon snarled.
I remember it so clearly. It was a heart attack. Mother wept over aunt's crumpled body, and it was as if she cried to death. She didn't eat. She didn't sleep. The thought brings tears to my eyes.

"Now, I can finish Nightmare moons' work! Let the night go on, forever!" Moon laughed evilly.
Nightmare moons' work? Mom keeping her in like a cage? Oh. I get it. The puzzle pieces all click together now. It was a sad time, but I couldn't help but laugh.

"What?" Moon Prancer snarled." What is so funny?"

"Don't you see, Moon Prancer?" I smirked." Auntie was nightmare moon! She was keeping you from doing her exact mistake!"

"You're lying." Moon prancer hissed.

"I'm not," and I don't want to banish you like mother did either! So stop, Moon Prancer! I know the real you is in there somewhere!"

"Ha!" She laughed wickedly." You think a lie will stop me? Mother told me she was nearly killed trying to save herself from nightmare moon!"

"That's because the elements of harmony nearly DID kill nightmare moon!" I yell.
Moon Prancer raised her hoof to her chest for a second, as if she was reviewing the comment. Tears glistened in her eyes.

"So... so... mom was protecting me." She said, her whole body trembling."You did right, Sunrise... but I'm afraid it's too late."
What did that mean?

"I'm afraid the evil has gone into my heart..." She sobbed." I can't be stopped!"
She held a glistening blade against her chest.

"The evil must be stopped before it's too late." She smiled sadly." Goodbye, Sunrise."

"No! Moon, it can be stopped! Moon, no!" I scream.
It was too late, the guards and I couldn't get to her. She had committed suicide. Had she felt that guilty? I took her blade and held it at my neck, but I felt a ghostly hoof stop me. It was mother.

"Stop, Sunrise." She said sternly.

"Mom?" I cry.

"The future of Equistria lies in your hooves." She explains, shaking her head.

"But why?" I screamed." Why didn't you stop Moon?"
I couldn't help but scream. I felt a flame of anger and sorrow fighting over my body, crowding my nerves.

"We were too late, Sunrise. But we are here now, and it's better to lose one than both." She smiled. But it was a gentle smile.
She took the blade away, and kissed my fore head.

"Please, don't do that to yourself." She smiled as she rose into the air.
I stared into the small air of brightness in the black clouds and I felt a tear roll down my cheeks.

I will not kill myself
I vow that. I vow it for mother. I will. I am the prince of Equistria, I will continue the generation. For mother, for father, for auntie, for uncle, for Twilight, for Cadence.

Author's Note:

Hm... I'm a bit on a writers block... so I might end this story...

ok what the heck happened with this chapter. I think you should elaborate a bit more. There was a moment in the story where I thought the prince was just imagining what it was like for a scenario to happen and then I figure out at the end (end of this chapter) that it actually did happen and that he committed suicide . Yeah so good story, but not a very good ending chapter
