Chapter 33: Bridle Gossip Part 3

"My faithful student." Celestia greeted Twilight as she and her friends bowed. "Applejack." She greeted the adopted mother of her grandfoal. Applejack visibly flinched.

"We came as fast as we could. Princess, is this for real? Is Harry really moving into the castle permanently?" Twilight asked her mentor as she and the other mares rose.

"He truly wishes to, even though he is not ready. I was originally going to call for him to move on his seventeenth birthday, but you really hurt my grandfoal Applejack Apple." She addressed Applejack for her last statement. "How dare you use my and my daughters name, to shame her foal?"

"I had no right ta do that Princess." Applejack said in shame as she took off her hat. Her blonde mane trailing behind her head. "Ah think I mighta let my fear of Zecora over take mah muzzle. I didn't think-"

"That, is obvious." Celestia interrupted the earth pony.

"I know I hurt him Princess. I probably can never take it back. Maybe I should just go home." The mare tried to leave but two royal guards crossed spears refusing to let her leave.

"While I am angry that you used both mine and my daughters name to shame my grandfoal, I will not allow your relationship to be ruined because of it. We where both wrong. I should have told you who Zecora was and what Harry was doing with her. Because of my inaction Harry has had his heart broken."

"Princess-" Twilight started but Celestia interrupted her.

"Harry is in his suite preparing for breakfast. I suggest you make haste."

Celestia raised a hoof to a door that lead to the Private areas of the castle. The 6 mares found themselves in a vast hallway with hundreds of doors. Only Twilight didn't gasp.

"I guess we better get said realizing that Princess Celestia never told them which room the young Prince was in.

"He's not here." Rainbow Dash said slamming a door shut.

"Aint here either." Another guest room. Applejack thought.

Raritt's jaw dropped at her door. Blueblood and Fancy Pants. With nothing but towels around their wastes and a masseus each. Their shirts hung up as their backs where worked. Holding hooves as they relaxed together.

She quietly closed the door. After taking a whiff of their shirts of course. She shuddered as she quietly closed the door.

Fancy Pants looked toward the door with a "Hmm?"

"Probably just a new maid or servant who doean't know their way around the castle yet my love, happens all the time." He told Fancy Pants as he waved a hoof. "My flank muscles are sore." He told his masseus. " Massage around my Cutie Mark." He ordered.

"He's not here either. Rarity turned to her friends who looked at her weirdly. "What?" She asked defensively.

"What's in there? Pinkie Pie asked curiously.

"Fancy Pants and Blueblood are in there getting full body massages together can we move on now?" Rarity said with a furious blush. She checked a few more doors. "Perhaps three of us could take doors further down? I volunteer!"

She ran fast down the hallway.

"I think I found Harry's room!" Rarity called.

It was decorated for a young colt. She recognized a Ponengers poster she gave him for his sixth birthday. She saw Peewee on a formal perch.

"Peewee's in here. Its definitely Harry's suite." She said as the other mares joined her inside.

Luckily Peewee was asleep.

"Be quiet as a mouse. Harry could be hiding." Twilight told the others as they searched the foals suite. From the closet, to the toy chest. Pinkie Pie even checked the drawers below the television. But it was just full of Pontendo games.

"Ahh." Harry sighed as steam came out of the bathroom. "Applebloom always uses up the hot water back home."

He froze as he saw his momma.

"Peewee now! Plan Alpha Sun!" The foal shouted.

Peewee squaked and flew over in front of Harry. He spread his wings and bright light surrounded the phoenix.

"Okay Peewee. If momma comes looking for me, fly in front of me and use your solar flash power okay?" Harry asked his pet.

Peewee trilled happily in understanding.

"Perfect! We'll call it Plan Alpha Sun." The foal said happily. Cuddling Peewee like he was a plush toy. Peewee happily cuddled with his young owner as the two fell asleep.

Now Peewee's Solar Flash wasn't strong enough to cause temporary blindness yet being a baby and all, but it was enough to let Harry teleport himself and Harry into the hallway.

"Since when can he teleport willingly?" Twilight asked curiously before Applejack ran after the foal and baby phoenix.

Harry saw Applejack coming after him. He took to the air with Peewee just as she threw her lasso.

"Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy go!" Twilight ordered.

The two pegasi flew after Harry. Rainbow Dash got in front of Harry growling making him skid to a halt in mid air. He tried to go back but Fluttershy blocked his way.

"Sorry." Fluttershy said in apology.

Harry suddenly felt a rope around his middle and he was yanked down to the ground. The crown prince soon found himself hogtied by his momma again.

"Ah know yer mad at me Sugarcube. Probably a bit more than mad." The mother took off her hat again. "I should never have used...her...to shame ya."

"If you had just listened instead of yelled at me..."

"I know all about yer lessons now Sugarcube." Applejack waved it off. "I just want ya to know, A'hm sorry. Truly I am. And if ya really want ta move into the castle full time, I'll support ya."

"You will?" Harry asked curiously.

"Sure. Though it means giving ya up to Blueblood.

"What?!" Harry asked. His eyes widened.

"Well ya didn't think Princess Celestia would raise you did ya?" Applejack asked the foal as the other mares watched the exchange. "She's a busy busy busy Princess. She wouldn't have any time fer ya. So it'll be up to Blueblood and Fancy Pants to raise ya."

Harry had a horrible vision where Blueblood had died his coat and mane to make it look like a combination of him and his uncle Fancy Pants. Harry looked rather haughty and snobbish in front of the two.

"Nice lie Applejack." Twilight told her Earth Pony friend as they watched the wheels turn in the colt's head.

"Its not a lie. I would support 'im. He's mah foal Twilight. Ya never told Spike a lil ol' fib?" Applejack whispered back.

"Mommy get me out of this!" Harry wiggled. "I don't want a blonde mane!"

Applejack smiled and sarted untying the rope. "Hey! What's wrong with a blonde mane?" She demanded.

"Can we at least have breakfast with grandma before we go home? Its pancake day." Harry begged his mother.

The mares tummys growled. They didn't eat breakfast on the Friendship Express.

"Aww yeah. Let's eat!" Rainbow Dash said eagerly.

"Yay! Pancakes!" Pinkie Pie bounced ahead.

"I wonder if they have blueberry." Fluttershy said hopefully.

"I'm absolutely starving." Rarity ran after the others.

"You guys! We can't just invite ourselves, wait" She called after the mares. She then sighed in exasperation

"Its okay Twilight. I can invite ponies to eat too remember?" Harry reminded the studious.

"Just answer my next question?"

"Sure." Harry said as he, Twilight and Applejack walked down the hallway together.

"Since when can you teleport?"
