Chapter 3: The Birthday

After what felt like a million years my crying came to an end. I soon realized Flurry Heart would be here soon. I have to get ready! I put on my makeup and put my mane up in a bun. I looked inside my dresser looking for a decent dress. I decided with a red and gold dress. I find that i left my crown somewhere and find it on the side of the bed. Shining's side. I grabbed my crown and put it on. As soon as I put the crown on I turned an left the room. Before the tears could come back. I walk down the long staircase meeting Celestia in the ballroom.

" There you are Cadence. I was wondering when you would get here." Celestia said.

" I'm sorry it took so long. I was having a hard time picking what to wear." I lied

. " You look beautiful as always my dear." Celestia said.

" Everything look so wonderful. Will Flurry Heart be here soon?" I asked.

" She should be here any minute. I made sure that everything is ready for her arrival. " Celestia said looking at everything making sure it was perfect.

" Thank you Celestia"

" You don't have to thank me dear. I'm here to help whenever you need it."

Once everything was silent I heard Flurry Heart's sweet voice.

" Where is everyone Luna?" Flurry Heart said.

" Don't worry Princess Flurry Heart. They should be around here somewhere." Princess Luna said not giving away the secret.

" They're here. Everyone get into your places" I said quietly while turning off the lights.

Everyone got into their hiding spots waiting for Flurry Heart and Luna to walk in. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when we surprise her. Moments later Flurry Heart walks in.

" Hello? Is anyone in here?" said Flurry Heart.

I use my powers to turn on the lights and seconds later everyone jumps out.

" Surprise!"

" AHH! What was that for?" Flurry Heart said trying to calm down.

" Happy Birthday Flurry Heart". I said walking up with a smile. I feel very happy. But my smile feels fake. I try as hard as i can making my smile look real. It seem like it's working.

" Thank you mom. Did you plan all of this?" Flurry Heart asked.

" No. Celestia helped out and Luna knew everything. We just had t get you out of the house to be able to get everything ready." I say

" Luna usually tells me everything though! Wow i can't believe she kept a secret" Flurry Heart said with a laugh.

" Well what are you waiting for? It's your birthday. Go on and have some fun." Luna said tempting Flurry Heart to stop talking.

" All right, All right. Well come on lets dance!" said Flurry Heart while pulling Luna to the dance floor.

I watch as Flurry Heart and the others dance. I move to the beat cheering them on with a smile. Seeing my daughter being happy and being herself filled me with joy. Something i haven't felt in a long time. Something i haven't felt since...
