> Generations to come. > by GalaxyFlower > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A child? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Princess Celestia." The guards bowed down. "Yes?" I asked. "Your sister, Princess Luna, has asked for you to visit her throne." They explained. "Why?" I say, thinking about what Luna would need me for at this time of the day. "She didn't say." They stammered. " I see, very well then." I nod my head, and turn to go to Luna's bedroom. The sound of my hooves hitting the floor is almost disturbing. It's so quiet I can hear them. Usually the castle is quite lively. But, on days like today... it's too quiet. I open Luna's bedroom door, to see her sprawled out on the floor. "Luna!" I yell," are you okay?" "Yes... I'm fine." She grumbled," But I have a question." Her face turned serious for a moment. "I think the Allicorn age spell is wearing off." She whispered,"Sister. We must have a new generation." I gasp," You mean like... a child?" "Yes... One that will raise the sun, and one that will raise the moon." Luna nodded. I think about it. "I'll have to ask Cadence for advice... but, I'll do whatever it takes to help Equestria." I replied. "Celestia, one more thing." She murmured. "What?" I ask. "You don't have to love anyone who you don't really love." She smiled. I stand there, wondering why she would say a thing like that when it hit me. "What about Prince Blueblood?" I ask. "He isn't fit for the job." Luna shakes her head." He should have started to train when he was about 5, it is too late now." "I see..." I acknowledged, my head taking in the information. -o- "You want a child, Celestia?" Princess Cadence asked. "It seems the allicorn age spell is wearing off, Cadence. We must." I nod. Cadence stops. "It's... wearing off?" She asks. "Yes, and I'm afraid there is no way to ask Star swirled the bearded to re-cast it." I sigh. "Well... I'm afraid I can't help you, Celestia. True love isn't forced." She pauses." You must find it yourself." The guards escort me out. "I'm afraid there isn't much for us to do but wait, Philomena." I bellowed. Philomena squawks, and a feather pops off, I laugh a little. "Your too dramatic." I giggle. -o- "Don't you think you want someone to love you for you?" Luna asked. "I don't understand what you mean." I mumbled. "Celestia, your a princess, an allicorn, and a sun keeper.Wouldn't every pony like to date a pony like that?" Luna complained, her face turned to a pout. "So, you want me to disguise myself as a regular pony?" I ask, and I can feel my invisible eye brows arch. "Yes." Luna nods her head." I will do it too, in fact, I know a certain pony who can help us." -o- "A regular pony?!" Twilight shrieks. "It seems the allicorn spell is a bit wearing off, so, we need to make a new generation to rise the sun and moon." I explain. "I see." She says, her shoulders slumping a bit." I know just the spell to turn you into a regular pony, but you'll have to think of a name yourselves." "Alright." I agree. "Fine." Luna mutters, a grim look on her face. I can tell exactly what she's thinking. We are quite alike after all. She's been having the little royal attitude ever since she was a little pony! I don't think this is a good idea anymore... "Alright, ready?" Twilight called. "Yep." Luna and I say together. She gathers up her magic, and after a bright flash of colors, I stumble, and see, I am much shorter than before, and I don't have my wings or my horn. I have gold hair with the usual teal streak in it. It curls forward, and is... in my opinion, a bit puffy. "Sun Star." I smile "Huh?" Twilight asks. "The name Sun Star comes to mind as I look at myself in the mirror." I explain. I look over at Luna. She is admiring her new purple hair, tied up with a mauve ribbon, apart from her blue skin, which is partially wrapped up in ribbon also. " I think I'll be Moon Ribbon." She grins. "Alright. Thank you Twilight. We will be on our way now." I nod my head, and trot out the door, "Moon Ribbon" half following me. "Your welcome!" Twilight yells back, standing at the doorway with Spike, who had just finished baking cookies. I walk around, deciding love should come to me, but I get hungry. So, as usual, I decide to have lunch at the castle. "Hello, boys!" I smile. "Stop! Who goes there." The guards ask. Oh, that's right. They don't recognize me. "Princess Celestia." I answer. They laugh. "Yeah, right. You don't look like her. Sorry, but we can't let you in." The first guard, Solstice Bronze, as I recall, laughs mockingly. I decide to prove myself by showing I know their names. "Solstice Bronze." I say, pointing at the first guard. He jumps, suspicious on how I know his name, and I almost hit myself on the forehead. "Hazelnut Rocket." I grumble, pointing at the second guard, and he scowls. "Look, I... we don't know who you are, but you're still not allowed in the castle." They growl. Remind me to scold them later for not believing me. Then again, it's their job. "Fine!" I bark. I trot over to the Hay burger, and through my peripheral vision, I see the guards staring at me with sour looks on their faces. "Welcome to the Hay Burger! What would you like to order..." The clerk asked. "Sun Star." I tell the clerk. "Yes, Sun Star. what would you like to order?" The clerk asked. "Um... I'll just have a Hay Burger and some horse shoe fries." I order. "What size of fries?" The clerk giggled. Her bubbly attitude reminds me of Pinkie Pie. "Small." I implored. "Alright, your total is 4 bits Please wait at least one minute for your order." She smiled. "Okay." I sigh, handing her four bits. She looks around and places my order on the wall. It must've been at least two minutes before I got my order. I sit down at the wooden tables, and set my tray down. This would have been easier if I had my magic useful. "Sorry, Is this seat taken?" I hear a voice ask. I hadn't even started eating yet! He must've been waiting to ask that. "Uh... n-no." I stammer. "Oh, okay. Thanks." The colt smiles."My name's Confetti Comet! I came from Neighagara falls." He crooned. "I'm Sun Star, I live here." I fake a smile. "Canterlot?" He asks, chewing on his horse shoe fries. I nod my head, and I feel my cheeks getting warm. My mouth was too full to reply. "Ha ha, you've got a little Hay sauce on your cheeks!" He laughs, using his magic to wipe the sauce off. I feel my face get even warmer. I study his expressions carefully as he eats... for some reason. Bright orange mane with white streaks. Yellow skin. Pink yellow colored eyes. Almost like a yellow cake smothered with a thin layer of pink icing. I think I may be in love... > Memories of last night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Groan What happened? Ugh... I've never had this much of a headache before. Hangover Hm... I never drink though. I rub the side of my forehead, hoping to regain some memories of yesterday. "Hey, do you want to come with me to one of my favorite places in Canterlot?" Confetti Comet asked. "Hmm.." I stammered." Sure." Alright! I'll pick you up at your place at 7:00!" He smiled."Where's your house?" I blink. Uh oh. I didn't buy a house yet... and after that try to barge into the castle for lunch, I don't think they want to see me wandering around there again, looking for a place to rest. "Um, I'll just meet you at your place." I say. What? Bad excuse? "Alright." He agrees, scribbling down his address onto a napkin for me. He hands the partially crumbled napkin to me. -o- 7:00 and I'm still walking to his house. I read the napkin and decide I'll just ask for directions. 327 Woodcarver Avenue. Canterlot, EQ 6733. Title: Marble wood Manor Confusing, but I guess I understand. I think about this "come over thing" as a date. I've had some play dates before. With my friends. But that was foal's play. I look to my right, and see it: Marble wood Manor carved into a wooden sign in huge letters. Was this a factory? Company? No, this was far too big to be any average pony's home. I knock on the door. "Oh hi!" Comet yells. I barely hear him over the racket going on inside the business place. "This is my dad's company." He explains."It is soon to be mine." "What do you make?" I scream, increasing my voice to it's maximum level. "Cupcakes! Our special decorations are meteor designed cupcakes, in Canterlot, we have many meteor showers so... here we are!" He smiles widely. I hope he doesn't expect me to like sweets that much. Because I'm not going to be his taste tester for that mountain of boxed cupcakes. "Um, let's head out." I smile. I hope that changed the subject. "Sure!"He nods his head. Phew. "Well, here we are!" He smiles, presenting a bar titled,"The Drunken Majesty" A bit strange for a bar name, but I guess I'll go with it. We walk in, and I nearly slip on a spill on the floor. I look over. Good, he didn't see that embarrassing dance pose I just did. "Hello, Comet! The usual?" The bartender, Crescent Goblet, as his name tag says, yells over, waving his hoof at us. "Yep! The lady will have..." He yells, waiting for me to complete the sentence for him. I don't know any names of alcoholic drinks. I don't drink at all in the castle. So I read off the bottle with the largest font on it. "Apple Teaser ale." I say, trying not to squint. "Ah, the lady has quite a keen taste in beer." Crescent smiles, praising my "good taste" in beer. He pours the foamy substances into mugs and slides it over to our end of the table. "Hi there." A colt says in a flirty voice next to me. "Hi." I say, dully. "I'll have what she's having!" The colt yells over to Crescent."I'm Eclipse Forest by the way." "Sun star." I smile, and I take a sip of the bitter, foamy drink. "Um, hey!" Comet yells, trying to get my attention back. I sigh, great. I see what's going on. This is going to be a long night. I grumble, falling into my makeshift bed. So, two colts are trying to get my love over to them. Ugh, what pressure I'm in right now. I walk into the Pony days inn, and pour a cup of coffee for myself. It cures the hangover by a little, but I'll have to subside the pain. I already sent a letter to Twilight, asking if she could raise the sun and the moon. I better hurry up... I don't want to be a pain in the hoof. ~o~ Day two, no colts. "Aw, man... this is taking longer than I thought." I say, holding a cup of coffee in between my hooves. Moon Ribbon, what a great idea. Who likes a pony with a lame name like this? "Um, excuse me." A colt says. I move to the side. "Thank you," He smiles. You know what? If they don't come to me... I'll come to them. "Hi!" I yell back, forcing a wide smile. "Um... hi!" He says, walking away slowly. I follow him, trying to make conversation. "So, nice weather." I grin. "Thank Rainbow Dash." He says, and walks away. I growl. If only he knew. "Oof!" I yell, bumping into a blue pony... or should I say handsome colt. Either way, I spilled my coffee. "Sorry!" He yells. He holds out a hoof to help me up. "Lotus Eclipse." He smiles. "Luna- I mean, Moon Ribbon." I stammer."No problem." I guess. He smiled and helped me up. Something in his bag had rung, and he jumped. "I-I'm sorry I have to go, I'll see you later!" He yelled, as he scurried away, handing me a business card that he wrote on. I pouted. Well there goes love at first sight. -o- Moon gazers Scientists of the round object we call the Moon What a nice title for a laboratory. I hate it already. There is a giant telescope sticking out at the side, pointing at, yes, the moon. I had to trudge here as it started to snow. Because he left me. I knock on the cold, barred up metal door. "Oh. You must be lost we-" The elder looking pony started. I showed him the business card grumpily. "Ah. Lotus! Visitor!" He yelled."You must be the girl Lotus bumped into. He was talking about you all morning!" Lotus, who heard this, trotted down the stairs yelling," I was not!" I giggled a bit. Now, we were both blushing. "I'm his dad, Moonlight Burst! We all dedicate our lives to-" He smiled. "Dad." Lotus mumbled. It seems this spell has altered my personality. Why am I so happy? " Honey! Who's the visitor?" I see a blue shaded pony squeal. His mom I suppose. "This is my wife, Mystic Luna-light!" He grinned widely. "And we're all a happy family!" Mystic and Moonlight yelled, in a sing-song voice. I giggled. It was a laugh that didn't belong to me. But it came out naturally. "Let's go Moon, I'm sure you can't stand much more of this." Lotus mumbled, an annoyed look on his face. "Go where?" I asked. "Didn't you read the back of the card?" He asked, confused. Then I remember, he scribbled something on the back. I flip the card over, and it read,'Let me repay you for spilling your coffee. Dinner, my treat.' "Oh! It's okay!" I gasp. I caught his shoulders slumping two millimeters. "Alright, fine. But I'm paying too. It doesn't feel right letting you pay." I smile. He smiles. "Have fun!!" His parents yell from the door of the laboratory. "Bye." He says. I just wave. I never liked good byes. A shiver goes up my spine. "Are you cold?" He gasps. "N-no, I'm fine." I stammer. I don't want to be more of a trouble than I already am. He spreads out his wing, and wraps it around me. "Th-thanks..." I grumble. Great. Now he feels he should use his colt wings to warmth my body. After a few minutes of trudging in the thin layer of snow that built up, we got to the restaurant. The Hay Plate. Interesting name choice. We walk in, and there are several ponies sipping on hay cocoa, the waiter pony leads us to a table next to a window, and I look out at the snow. "Beautiful, huh?" He smiles, gazing at the snow, falling peacefully onto the floor. We wait for the menus to come. We wait by staring out into the ocean of snow. > Winter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me and Lotus stared out the window, and as I turned to get a sip of my hay cocoa, I remembered Lotus and me were sharing a cup, of cocoa. Our nuzzles nearly tapped when we both smacked back into our seats, blushing. I never noticed how shy Lotus was. It seemed his shyness formed his handsomeness. His deep blue mane covered his right eye. I'm not sure why he'd want to. His eyes were like a sea color, and what a pretty color that is. He was a pegasus, and his skin was a light blue shade. To me, that was handsome. "Here you go. Eat up!" The waitress pony mumbled, a tired look on her face. I don't know how to eat without my magic in use, so I look like a fool eating... a few minutes pass and we split the bill. We walked out, into the snow once more. "So... um..." Lotus mumbled. He seemed to be getting shyer every hour, I guess I'll be the chaser then. "Was that dinner good?" I asked. "Yeah." He nodded his head. I groaned, and I hope he didn't hear that. "So, I guess I'll drop you off at your house?" He asked, a grateful look on his face. Again with this house thing! "It's fine." I sigh. ~o~ I hope Luna's having more luck than me. I hope she didn't go to a bar for a first date. I- I hear a knock at the door. "Room service!" A pony yells. Room service, just what you'd expect in a hotel. "Coming," I grumble, fixing my wild mane. The maid pony walks in and starts straightening my bed, I walk down to the lobby for more coffee. "Another cup of Joe, miss?" The tan pony asks, and I nod my head. She gives me another cup, and this time, I sit down on the lobby chair. "Hello!" A familiar voice yells. Everypony looks up from what they are doing and gives him glares and particularly rude 'Shh's. The 'him' if you're wondering was Eclipse. I met him yesterday and some how, we now are in the same hotel inn. Not the same room, but the same hotel. "Hey, Sun star! It's so great to see your sunshine in the mornings." He coos, leaning into my face. It was too close for comfort, so I scoot back back and say a small, polite,"Hello" to greet him. He leans back and I can almost sense the tenseness in the air between us. "So..." He begins. "So..." I repeat. "How's your morning?" He says. I grimace. "Well, uh.." I mumble. I shift uncomfortably in my seat. How am I suppose to answer that question if I nearly remember anything from yesterday to compare to today? "Eh, I'll take that as great. Want to go to the Mystic Majesty today?" He smiles. "Drunken Majesty." I correct him. It seems he doesn't remember much from last night either. "Right, so yeah or nay?" He pleads. "Uh..." I start, when I see Comet out of the edge of my eye. "Hi Star!" He smiles, waving wildly. I giggle a bit. It's funny how childish he can be in the mornings. "Hi, colt." Eclipse growls. "Hi." Comet says. He must be dumbfounded. Even I can tell Eclipse hates him. Celestia, there will soon be a time you will have to choose in between these two, you know. I sigh. "What's wrong?" Comet asks. "It's nothing" I mumble. Comet is kind and caring, but Eclipse is fun and mysterious. Oh, mother. Who should I choose? "I'm bored." Eclipse states." Let's go to your room! I blink. "Isn't it under room cleaning?" Comet questioned. The maid pony walks out of my hallway, and into the other hallway. "Nope! Want to go?" Eclipse suggested. "Ugh. Fine." I hissed. They backed up for me as I put away my cup of coffee into the trash bin, then we all headed into my room. "It's a bit messy," I mumble."I wasn't expecting visitors." I purposely throw a few wrappers onto the ground to make it messy. I hope the maid pony doesn't mind. "That's okay." Comet shrugged. We sit on my bed in silence for about 5 minutes when Eclipse suggested that we go to the park. "The park? At this time of the year?" Comet gasped. "C'mon! It's really pretty this time of the year!" Eclipse pleads. They both look at me. "Uh..."I mumble, grasping the air for words."Fine." So, there we were. The park. Sitting on the blanket of snow on the ground. "I'm cold." Comet mumbles. "Yeah." I agree. I can see my breath when ever I exhale. Like a dragon breathing out fire. Fire, warmth. I shiver and stare up into the blue sky. "You guys want to head back already?" Eclipse complains. "You can stay here," I laugh."but I'm leaving." "Me too!" Comet acknowledged. Eclipse snorts, then follows Comet and me back to my room. -o- Eclipse had to leave to go to work. So Comet and I sat silently in my room. I never noticed how awkward it was without Eclipse. "Sun." Comet whispered. "What." I asked. I think I know what's coming at this point. "Sun..." He admits."I think I love you." I knew it was coming, but why am I still so shocked? "I-" I start. But no words come out. Why am I so shocked at those words? Do I not love him enough to accept them? > Will you... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do I not love Comet? No, I do. I know so. Then why can't I say those words? "I-" I try again. He lowers his head. "It's alright." He mumbles."I understand." His body shakes and wobbles as he walks out the room slowly. In shame. "I love you!" I blurt out. I hold my hoof to my mouth. Where did that come from? He stares at me in awe, and I can feel my cheeks heating up. "Thank you, Star." He smiles, and continues to walk out. I stay there, holding my mouth as if to clamp it shut from saying anything else. To chastise it for blurting out those words. But for some reason. I am not ashamed of those words. I am proud. I am proud I said those words to him. "Celestia, your so confusing sometimes." I smile to myself. I flop down into my hotel bed, and fall into a deep sleep. "Sister." I hear a voice call. It was Luna. She must be sending me a dream. "What is it?" I ask her. "Have you found the one yet?" She asks. I think about Comet. "I'm not sure." I reply. "I see. Me too." She sighs."Good night, sister." "Good night." I say, and her image fades. I wake up groggily, and do my morning routines. Brushing, combing, and bathing. They feel unnatural though. Because something is bothering me. Why did he just say 'I love you' and leave? Was he too shy to say anything else? I sigh, and continue to try and comb my mane without magic. "I'll have to ask him." I say. Yeah right. If you can find him. He might as well ignore you now! "We'll see." I mumble. I walk out of my room, and Honey Mistral, the clerk pony, calls for me to the front desk. "Yes?" I ask. "Today was your last day." She explains." Just hoping you knew that!" I nod my head, trying to not look angry. -o- "Oh, hi, Sun." Comet says, shifting uncomfortably on the door. "I was wondering if I could stay here." I cringe. "Stay?" He asks, suspicious. "I couldn't pay for the hotel." I explain. "Oh." He says dully. He greets me inside and he shows me to my room. But that's about all he does. Yeah, he hates you. "Look. About yesterday..." He starts. "It's fine." I reassure him. There I go again, blurting out things. "Well... want me to take you out for dinner?" He asks. "Uh... sure!" I say. I may sound unsure and not enthusiastic now, but a voice in my head says," Is this a date? Please be a date, please be a date!" "Alright. Just meet me outside at..." He stares at the clock on the wall."7:35." I nod my head. It is 6:01 right now. Giving me a good one hour and thirty-four minutes to get ready. I already bathed, so now I have to do my hair and make-up. I hope this doesn't look dumb, because I don't have magic. I pick out a royal gown I wore to the Grand Galloping Gala, but when I tried it on, it was too long for me. So, I trimmed it a bit, and hey! It fit on fine. 7:35 I waited outside. He came out, surprised. I was wearing a dress and makeup and stuff. While he was plain. "Uh..." He mumbled. "It's fine..." I sigh. -o- "Hello, I'm Swan Majesty, I'll be serving you today." The pale pony smiled. We ordered. Like any other day. ~o~ "Lotus." I sigh. "Y-yes?" He stammers. I can see him blush as I lean on his shoulder. "Do you think I can crash your place?" I ask. He blinks. "S-sure!" He laughs nervously. Dirty pony. -o- "Your staying over?" Lotus' parents gasp."Why, we must get the room ready!" They scamper around, grabbing decorations for the guest room. "It's fine, really." I stammer. "No, no! We treat guests like the princess!" Moon Burst smiles, holding a knob for a dresser in her mouth. "Speaking of princesses, we haven't heard news from Luna and Celestia lately." Lotus mumbles. I swallow hard. "Ah... they must be busy and ah-" I stammer, looking for an excuse. "I know. Aren't they always?" He mumbles. Phew. We all settle in later for dinner. "Thank you for letting me settle in." I thank them. "Oh, no problem, honey!" Mystic coos, winking at Lotus. Lotus responds to his mother's wink by lowering his head and picking at his peas. I giggle a little. He can't hide his blushes very well. ~o~ "So... um..." He starts. "Look, if you don't like me staying over, I can leave." I mumble. "No!" He yells almost immediately. He sits down, blushing when everypony stares at him. "Look, I don't mind you staying over it's just..." He explains."I... I know you know this but really, Sun, I love you." I think he knows. He knows I'm Celestia and he's trying to make me confess. "Thanks." I reply. His face frowns a little, and he stares at his menu once more. I wonder what's wrong, but then again, I've never been in a real relationship before. -o- I guess Comet and I have been dating for 4 months now. It is now the month of February, and Hearts and Hooves day is tomorrow. He asked me to join him on a picnic and I agreed. It was going to be a regular day. Or so I thought. Tomorrow "Hey, Sun!" He smiles. He chose the Canterlot park for a location, and he had, somehow, known my favorite spot. "Hi." I smile. "Hey guys!" A familiar voice yells. Eclipse. He must've followed us here. "Look, Eclipse we-" I start. "No, it's fine. I get it! This Comet pony here wants to steal my mare!" Eclipse growls, and he lunges forward at Comet. Out of my Princess-like instincts, I hop into action, and I jump in front of him to defend him, and Eclipse ends up punching my hoof. He gasps, and stumbles back, but now he blames Comet more. "Look at what you did, you scared-y-pony!" He snarled. Comet backed up, and whispered to me,"Run!" So here we are... taking off from a stalking, creepy colt. After a while of trotting, Comet said,"Stop." In a breathless voice. Hm. Must not run often. "Look... I know it must've been a hard day on you..." He sighs, disappointed. Yeah, it has. First I have to walk alone to Canterlot Park on a breezy day like this, second I get a nearly broken hoof, third, it's starting to snow! "But... I have to ask." He smiles a little. The snow sprinkles down gently. "Sun Star. Will you marry me?" He asked, pulling out a diamond ring. I gasp. The only thing I can do right now is stare at him wide-eyed. I review his words slowly in my head. Will you marry me? Is this actually happening? "Yes." I smile. The words come out of no where, but I don't scold my self. I feel a force in my body push myself towards him, and kiss him. One word. One word that could change my life forever, and I said it. Yes? Yes. > Deciever > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~o~ It is Hearts and Hooves day. I find myself standing outside of Lotus' bedroom door, deciding when to knock, or if I should knock. I made him a love smoothie. Don't worry, it's not a love potion, it's just a smoothie containing of strawberries, cherries, watermelon, ice, and of course, love. I sigh, deciding it's a bad idea for breakfast in bed, that smoothies aren't made for morning, when the door suddenly opens, and I jump. "Oh... hi Moon." He stammers. He's less shy than he was two months ago. Handsome. "Hi." I squeak. "Is that for me?" He asks, wide-eyed. "Well, yeah, but-" I stammer. Why am I so shy all of a sudden? "I love it." He smiles. I love it, like I love you I imagine. But it never happens. "Thank you, Moon Ribbon." He smiles, patting my head. I feel my cheeks get warm, and I duck my head. He laughs and heads into his room. He sits down on his bed, and pats the bed, signaling for me to come sit there next him. I do. "So, do you want to try some of this?" He grins, pointing at my breakfast. "No thanks, it was made for you." I mumble. "Alright..." He says. He wraps his wing around me again. Like the day we met. Kind of. "So..." He mumbles. "...yeah." I sigh. "Moon." He says. I don't reply automatically. I'm still used to being called 'Princess Luna.' But this reaction was faster than the day we met. "Yes?" I ask. "I love you." He admits. I blink. "I love you." I repeat. I hope Celestia wasn't this nervous when she heard those words. "I love you..."I caress the words."I... I love you, too." Oh, buck. I messed it up big time. Somepony seal me back into the moon... on second thought, forget that idea. He laughs, and kisses me. Not on the forehead, not on the cheek. On the lips. Lips... would that mean... it was my first kiss? He pulls back, and I let my hoof swing over my lips. "I'm sorry..." He sighs."I don't know what came over me-" He apologizes. "It's fine." I mumble. What I meant to say was,'It's okay since your such a good kisser.' But, I guess 'It's Fine' is okay too. "Oh..." He says, blushing. -o- I know this is mean but- "Excuse me." I say at the dinner table. "Your excused, darling!" Mystic smiles. If you liked some one... "Thank you." I smile. wouldn't you want to read their journal and see their feelings for you too? "No problem." Mystic sings. I sneak into Lotus' room, and quietly opened the door. I search through a few cabinets and I find it. A small leather book labeled: Daily Journal. "You can read it." I hear a voice sigh at the end of the room. Shoot, I was caught. There he was. The handsome stallion, Lotus. Who caught me. But then again, he gave me permission. So I flip to one of the pages. The page that was yesterday. February 10. I wake up today. It seems like any ordinary day. But no.I remember I now "live" with a beautiful mare in my home. No, not my mom. Her name was Moon Ribbon. It is harsh on me to remember how cruel I was on the day we met but, if you go back to December 4, that is where I met her. I flip to the page dated December fourth. December fourth I woke up this morning. Thursday. Shopping days. Today, I was in charge.I was already late waking up as is, but even worse, my mother was rushing my shopping, calling my moon caller every, oh 10 minutes. But, I guess you could call today a good day. The day I met and went on my first 'date' with a beautiful mare. A mare named Moon Ribbon. I met her by running back home. I was rushing far too quickly, and I bumped into her, making her spill her coffee. Of course, I couldn't help but notice how guilty I felt. So I quickly wrote a note on the back of my business card, since of course, mom was calling again. She hadn't noticed the note until she arrived at my house, but the sprinkles of snow just made her more beautiful. So, best wishes to me. One day. I'll know more about this pony- There was a smudge at the end of the page, and I gave up trying to decode the smudge. I put the journal back and looked back at Lotus. He was scratching his head, blushing. I walked up to him, and kissed him on the cheek. "Come on, let's head back to dinner." I smile. We head back together, only to see two curious parents, peeking out of the sides of the door in the kitchen. "So..."Mystic snickered."How's it going?" "Yeah, interesting moon tonight, huh?" Moon Burst smiled. "Dad, it's a new moon tonight, and mom, please stop." Lotus grumbled. I giggled, and Lotus smiled back at me. -o- "Good morning, Moon!" Lotus smiles. Was he watching me while I slept? "Morning." I yawned, blinking. "Ready?" He asked. "R-ready? Ready for what?" I asked, wide-eyed. Did I miss something on dinner? I was too busy day dreaming. "Come on, we're going to the cafe today!" He grins. How can he be so lively in the morning? He reminds me of Celestia. "Wake up, sleepy-head!" Celestia would say. I would drag myself out of bed, and sleep on the floor if I needed to. I hated mornings. "Why the cafe?" I asked, spitting out the tooth paste I used to brush my teeth with. "It's beautiful at sunset." He explains. "Then why not go later if sunset?" I mutter. "What do you mean go later? It's 5:30." He asks. I nearly choke on the water I'm gurgling. "Is it that time already?" I scream. "Yeah, you kind of overslept." He explains. "Oh, brother." I sigh. > The Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So..." I mumble."Why are we here again?" "Because a cup of cocoa outside in the sunset is gorgeous. Just like you are." He smiles. I blush. "Th-thank you." I stammer. Why do I still act so shy around him? I mean... it's been like, two months now, right? I decide I shall not look at him whenever he talks. I feel a knot twist in my stomach whenever I look at him now. "The suns so warm even though it's winter." He yawns, stretching out on his chair. "Maybe that's the cocoa." I mumble. "Yeah..." He grins. He has a goofy grin on his face. I manage to sneak a look. "So..." He yawns." The moons coming-" He jerks himself awake. "Whoa!" He yells." Moon Ribbon, look! The moons rising... wobbly!" Uh oh. Twilight must still be having trouble. I wouldn't blame her. It took me three years to master that technique. But for now, I think Lotus is suspicious. "Doesn't matter. It's still rising." I force a smile. "Do you think Luna is dying?" He asks, his voice shaking. The thought brings shudders through-out my body. "No!" I squeak."She's probably just tired!" "What ever you say..." He mumbles. He returns to his seat reluctantly. "So..." He starts. I duck my head. ~o~ Lotus' view "So..." I smile. This is it. The perfect timing. When the horizon shows a line of a single brightness, and the blue and purple sky unite to make the starry night. "So, you like coffee, huh?" I ask. I just can't contain my smile. "I do." She answers, without looking up. I smile more, and ask the second question. "Do you like the night sky?" I ask. "Of course I do." She replies almost grumpily, like it was obvious. Still, though, without looking up. "So... Moon Ribbon. Will you marry me?" I ask, blushing. ~o~ I couldn't hear most of the rest of the words he said. The world turned into a blur. What did he just say? He asked if you would marry him. What does that mean? He wants your hoof in marriage of course. Of course. Of course. Of... course...? Everything. These whole two months. Weren't as confusing as this one moment. "I do!" I blurt out, looking up. I wasn't really yelling though. But it was quite a rushed 'I do.' I look at Lotus' empty seat. Where did he go? Just then, Lotus face rushes next to mine, and we kiss. This is the beginning of our life together. ~o~ A wedding. Sadly, Luna can't attend. But- "Cel- Sun!" I hear a voice yell."Hey, sis! My wedding is tomorrow!" It was Luna. She was gone for quite a while. But I'm glad she wasn't nightmare moon. "Hello, Moon!" I smile, and I puck my lips for a minute as the other ponies zip up the tight wedding dress, but I recover quickly. We hug. "How did you find me." I ask sternly. She holds up a letter. "It was sent to every one in this area." She explained. "Oh." Was all I could manage to say."So... if tomorrow's the wedding. Who's the groom?" She knocks on the door, and a blue pony walks in. "Hello. My names Lotus." He smiles. "Hello." I smile. I can't help but force myself to hold in tears. This is the colt marrying my little sister. What a happy thought. The wedding bells ring. This is the day. A day I never imagined. Now, it's not just a day, it's reality. I walk out, nodding my head to Luna and Lotus. A signal for them to follow me. They sneak into the crowd, and I walk out, into the aisle. A mischievous voice whispers into my head,'Don't trip, don't fall, don't fart don't-' I silence it by looking around. But it was too late, I had already reached the end of the aisle when I got a peek. "Sun Star, do you take Comet Confetti as your newly wedded husband?" The priest pony asked. "I do." I smile. "Comet Confetti-" The priest starts. "I do." He smiles. "Then I demand you two newly weds mare and colt!" He announced." You may kiss the bride." We kissed. It was like our first kiss. Long, and wonderful. I wanted to savor this moment. But everypony knows, even forever has to end sometime. We pull back, and smile at each other. I throw the bouquet of flowers into the air as we walked, as it seemed, into the rising sun. ~o~ Today is the day. The day of my wedding. It's strange how it's directly after Celestia's, but I guess that gives Lotus something to write about. "Which one?" Coco Pommel asks. "Um. That one?" I reply. "Okay." She smiles wryly. So, yeah. I had my wedding. Only mine, mine was at night. "Okay, you're ready." She grins." Have fun." I smile. "Thanks," I nod my head. I walk down the outdoor aisle. My wedding. Just how I imagined it. Surrounded by moon lilies, and caressed by the moons beams. We say our wedding vows, and the first dance comes. It is strange. I have always imagined my wedding to be in the castle. But here, it's better that he doesn't know I'm a princess. Like I said before, if he knew I was her, he would treat me differently. But how will he find out that your Princess Luna? You can't stay Like this forever. How will he react? > What? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday was my wedding. It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But... I couldn't help but worry. What will he think once he finds out? That I'm Luna that is. I'll have to show it to him now, or I'll lose his trust. "Hey, Lotus. Want to go somewhere?" I smile. "Sure." He smiles. He has gel in his hair from yesterday. I wonder why the guards haven't wondered where we were anyways. I led him to the castle. I sent Twilight a vision so she could hide near the bushes and transform me on cue. "Wow... I've actually never been near the princesses' castles before... they wouldn't let me in," He gaped. "They will now."I assure him. "How do you know that?" He asked. "Well..." I mumbled. "Stop!" Bronze yelled." Who goes there." Here we go. I saw Twilight's magic flash from a distance, and there I was, my usual height. My usual mane, my usual everything, and Lotus was shocked. I don't know if it's good that Lotus and the guards were so shocked. "Wait, if you were her... that other pony wasn't lying! She was Celestia!" The guards yelled, their voices shaking. She must've threatened them or something. "Moon Ribbon... Is that you?" Lotus asked."Were you Princess Luna all along?" He had a sad look on his face, but I had to nod. He bowed down. "The allicorn spell was wearing off,so I wanted true love. Not somepony to love me for being a princess," I explained."and you were that colt who accepted me for me, Lotus." He looked up, still shocked. "So... the spell is wearing off?" He whimpered. "Yes." I explained." There are hopes the next generation will have a bit of the magic left in them. Made by true love." "The next generation." He said to himself. ~o~ It seems Luna has showed her true identity to Lotus. I guess I should too, then. "Hey, Comet." I say. "Yes?" He asks. "Well I-" I start, but then a strange magic takes over. Am I back to normal? Why does he look so shocked? I look down at him, he seems so short now. "Princess Celestia?" He asks. "Comet." I say. He perks up. He must be shocked the princess knows his name. "I am Sun Star. I was looking for somepony to revive the royal generation, and knowing I'm a princess, there could only be love, and no true love. You are the colt who loved me for me. Do you love me for me, Comet?" I ask. "Well, I, Uh..." He stammers. I laugh. CometConfett@Pmail.com ^ Celestia-mail.com Chat box CometCo: Hey, you want to meet up at the train? Celestiama: Why? CometCo: You'll see. Just meet me at the train station. Celestiama: Okay. I look up from the glass screen. He never said what time. So I rush over and looked around. There I saw him, and I rush over. "Sorry." I pant. "It's fine," He smiles."your right on time." He was right, the train horn blared, and we rushed in, showing our tickets. I don't know why, but no other ponies seemed to be getting on. It was just us. "So... what did you want to say?" I ask. "Not yet! Wait until the train starts." He grins. The train seemed like it was taking an hour to start, but when it did, I could see the night sky reminiscing the stars and moon Luna raised. He started to kiss me, and I kissed him back, but he kept kissing me, going from my lips to my chin, my neck, and my collar bone. So, that's what he wanted to talk about... A sudden urge seeped over me, and I kiss him on his forehead. Of course, that was only how far I could reach knowing he was technically sprawled over my body, sucking and licking everywhere. I raised my hooves and pushed into his back. I didn't know if I was suffocating him with skin, but it still felt good to have somepony caress you. It felt amazing and- I felt a sharp pain, and I knew, that we were actually having sex, and I would soon be having foals. The pain went away, and I could feel him lying on my chest. "I've always wanted foals of my own." He sighed. "Me too." "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" "I hope it's a boy." We kissed. ~o~ "You know...I think Celestia wants to talk to you." Lotus smiled. He was intoxicated, drunk, just like me. We were at the castle bar, and it was just us. We usually never had parties in the bar, so it was pretty damn messy. "Fine." I smile. Lunama:Hey, giiiiiirrrllllllllll Celestiama: Luna, you look like you're having trouble typing. Lunama: How's you noooo? Celestiama: Well- ugh never mind, I have BIG news! I'm having foals! Lunama: WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTATATA? My screen flashed, and broke. I was so happy for Celestia, but now that I think about it... our main mission was to make a new generation... so she already technically completed her job... she could live happily ever after. "Lotus, you ever think about having foals?" I asked sluggishly. Even though he was drunk, he could understand me, and he actually thought about it. He pushed me down so I was now lying down on the table. "Of course I have." He smiles wryly." I thought you'd never ask." He kisses me in the neck, and as his tongue explores my mouth, I decide I should partake in deciding what kind of foal I want. A boy or a girl. But before I can think he pushes me to the wall, and I can't help but let out a gasp. I had realized what he was doing. He didn't know what he was doing at all. He was raping me. Raping me while he was drunk. So to him, I was probably some kind of "rape me" teddy to him in his state. "Lotus stop-" I gasp for air, but he just pushes his body against mine and continues to kiss me in... places I'd rather not say. He holds my face with both hooves, and with his magic, lifts himself so his legs could rest on my shoulder. He was making me suck his dick. "Lo-!" I scream. But he shifts his ass forward and backward, so his penis was dragging in and out of my mouth. I suggest trying to enjoy, and at one point close my eyes and even try to! But it doesn't work. I just fall asleep, the last thing I saw was his cock. -o- "Hey baby," Lotus smiles, licking my chest."We were pretty wasted last night, huh?" He's still drunk, huh. My head throbs as he moves my mane out of my hair to kiss my lips. "Lotus." I mumble. "Yes?" He smiles, putting one hoof behind my back, and one hoof on my chest. "Did we... you know... have foals?" I ask, nervously. He snaps out of his drunk state, and sulks slowly. "I'm sorry... yeah, but..." He mumbles. "So... we had foals?" I ask again. "Yeah..." He sighs, rubbing my belly." Here, you should go take a pregnancy test." He lets me go, and sighs. I walk out, cradling my head carefully. It feels like it's about to explode, but I'll live. I look at the strange stick he handed me. When did he get this? I sit down on the toilet, and pee on the strange testing meter. I walk back, and give him the testing meter. "Want to see?" He asks. I nod my head and take the tester. It reads -. I am not sure if I should be happy, or surprised, or sad, or anything. Right now, I just feel like staring. > The name. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -o- Five months. Five months and it looks like I'm fat. Fat... but it's just the lovely foals coming. "So, how are they doing?" Lotus asks. "Fine." I mumble. 'I'm feeling fat lately' is what I meant to say, but I guess 'Fine' is okay, too. Lotus rubs the bump on my belly and I feel a sudden kicking. Kicking again, again, again. "It's coming." I squeak. "What? What is?" Lotus asks. "The baby!" I yell." The baby is coming!" He jumps, and carries me on his back, all the way to the hospital. "Hold tight! Don't worry, I'll get-" He stammers as he carries me. "Just go!" I squeal. He trots all the way to the hospital, and when he sets me down, I am about ready to scream. So I do, and the surgeon ponies rush to my aid. My vision blurs, and I wake up, to a light blue foal, with a moon on her forehead. A unicorn. A unicorn with sparkly dark blue hair. I wonder what her cutie mark is. "So... what will her name be?" Lotus asks. I think and think. There seems to be no perfect names out there, until one comes up, and out of my mouth. "Moon Prancer." I smile. He nods his head in agreement. "Moon Prancer." He repeats. ~o~ That's strange. Luna had her foal before me. Apparently her name was Moon Prancer. I am with Luna currently. "Luna." I say. "Yes?" She asks. "Should we tell?" I ask. "Well... let's see yours first." She smiles. "Let's not rush it." I giggle. We both laugh. We haven't laughed like this in what felt like forever. Like a family, that is. Our horns crossed, our arms hugging each other. Happiness. "So... what now?" She asks, cradling the new born foal. The nurse pony walks in and whispers something in Luna's ear. What ever she said, it made Luna pout. She sadly handed her foal to the nurse. "Had to go to nursing?" I guess. She nods her head slowly. "Well, we could-" I start. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. Like a gurgle, a bubble. The tension in the bubble was rising slowly, and I felt like fainting. "Quick! Somepony get the nurse!" Luna yelled, cradling my head in her lap. Everything was such a blur after that. My vision blurred, so I could barely see. But I made out the fact I was being carried in a stretcher into a room. It all happened so fast. The rushing, the pain, the joy. But it seemed the joy lasted the longest. The joy of hearing your new foal crying, the joy of hearing that the release was successful. The joy, of having a foal at all. "Oh, Celestia, I was so worried." Comet sighed."I think they said it was a boy." He smiled at the yellow foal. It had red hair. The little foal had it's father features, and for some reason... it was born as an allicorn. So the allicorn spell was raised into him, but not Luna's. "What's his name?" The doctor pony asked. I start to think on naming him 'Sun Star' since he was so familiar to his dad and not me, but then, a better name appears in my mind. "Sunrise Journey." I sigh. I feel weak, still. But it is joy to me, that my foal is as handsome as his father. I kiss 'Sunrise' on his forehead, and fall into a deep sleep. -o- It has been almost five years now. Five years. Why does time move so quickly? Moon Prancer and Sunrise Journey get along well as cousins, and I'm glad. I just hope he doesn't grow up too fast, because I want to live up to the day when I get to see if the allicorn spell lasts. Because Moon Prancer has earned his horn. Because I want my children to live. Because, we're all family. ~o~ Lotus. I'm worried about him. He hasn't written in his journal at all, and just last week he burned it. Could it possibly be because his mother passed away three days ago? I wonder... "Lotus." I say. He jumps, probably expecting to be alone on the rose-vine encrusted gazebo. "Hi, Luna. Sorry... what did you need?" He asked, sadly. Smiling a bit. It hurts my heart to see that sorrow he tries to hide when he smiles. "Why are you so sad?" I ask. "I'm not." He replies grimly. "Yes, you are, Lotus." I say. Don't yell, don't yell, don't yell "Well, I'm not. Can I have my alone time now?" He asks. "Alright." I say softly. It's so hard to hold in tears when it feels like your being rejected. When the person you love is being a dick and you can't seem to get mad at them. I know just the pony to help. -o- "So, he's sad, but he doesn't want you to know?" Twilight asks. Twilight was supposed to be hanging out with Cadence today. I feel bad now since I intruded. I nod my head anyways. "Maybe he wants a divorce." Cadence mumbles. "We've been married for... I don't know how long!" I cry. "Yeah, it's too early for divorce." Twilight reassures me. "Maybe it's just loss." Cadence suggests. "Maybe." Twilight and I say in unison. We all sit there in silence. "I'll just...go." I sigh, I can feel my body shaking. "If you need me, I'm here." Twilight says." You don't have to hide your trembling." I nod my head and walk out the door. -o- I hear a knock on the door. It was Lotus. I had decided I would start ignoring him until he told me what was wrong not even 5 minutes ago. "Luna? I know your in there." Lotus says. My eyes are swollen up from crying in my now crusty pillow all night. I hear a thump on the door, like he hit his head on one of the doors, and now his head rests there. "Please, stop crying." He sighs. "Go away," I squeak. "I'm sorry!" He says, his voice shaking." Okay? I lost my mom!" "Well, I lost both parents!" I scream." Don't you know how I felt for once, Lotus?" Damn, I did it. I screamed. "I said I was sorry!" He yelled, frustrated. Is this... an argument? Oh no, I should have stopped myself from screaming. More moist tears flow down from my face. I feel the wet rolls of water slide down my cheeks. So, this is what real sorrow feels like. Painful. > 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.
