1. Chapter 1: Pip's Day
Hey Guys it's me Sunblast X and welcome to my very first MLP fanfic. Anyways let's get started on the first chapter of: Luna's Foal.
It was a bright and sunny day at Ponyville elementary school. It is here that we meet the main character of our story, Pipsqueak (or Pip, as he prefers), a white and brown spotted pinto pony who was the shortest one in his class. Today his teacher Miss Cheerilee was teaching her students about cutie marks or something. It was then that the school bell rang and dismissed the kids to go home.
"See you tomorrow class, and remember to bring a family member for family appreciation day!" Cheerilee said to her class as they all exited out of the classroom to their respective homes. All except for Pip who was a little upset. "Excuse me, Pip? My I talk to you for a minute" Cheerilee said, stopping Pip. Pip walked up to his teacher with a worried look.
"Yes, Miss Cheerilee?" Pip asked.
"Pip… I know what's troubling you. Are you ok?" Cheerilee asked, placing a hoof on his shoulder.
"I'm fine, just… a little down" Pip said in a sad tone, looking at the floor.
"Is it about—"
"Yes… that" Pip interrupted her. Pip wasn't really in the mood talk about his problem.
"… Why don't you go and hangout with your friends?" Cheerilee suggested.
"Rumble's sick, Dinky is with her mom doing Luna knows what, and the CMC are doing pointless attempts at finding their cutie marks" Pip said quickly.
"Pip… it's been a long day. You're free to go" Cheeilee said shooing her hoof at Pip, excusing him to leave.
"Thank you" Pip said. He then left the classroom, leaving Cheerilee to sigh. As Pip was walking he was thinking to himself. He looked left and right and noticed a ton of fillies and colt hanging out with their families: Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, you name it. This only made him even sadder, until a pink mare with a curly pink mane and tail bounced up to him with a smile.
"Hey Pip! What's with you?" the pink mare said in a cheery tone.
"Oh… hey Pinkie Pie" Pip greeted the pink mare known as Pinkie Pie in a normal tone.
"You look sad. I don't like to see my friends sad. Come on! Let's go to sugarcube corner!" Pinkie Pie said trying to cheer her little foal friend up.
-At Sugarcube corner-
"Here you go Pip" Pinkie said, sliding a chocolate cupcake in front of him.
"Wow, thanks Pinkie!" Pip said, cheering up a little. Pip bit into his chocolaty dessert. His mouth was bursting with flavor, the sweetness of the chocolate, the creaminess of the frosting, and then fudge icing in the center… it was magnificent (No it was not a hostess cupcake!). Pip was amazed.
"Good?" Pinkie asked.
"Yeah, real good!" Pip replied. Pip finished off his cupcake extremely fast (Mostly because he was REALLY hungry), thanked Pinkie Pie for the cupcake, and left in happier mood. Pip was in the middle of Ponyville, wondering where he should go next. Then he got an idea. "I could go to Twilight's house!" Pip said in a happy tone. He then bounced to Twilight's house, (He literally bounced).
-At the front door of Twilight's House-
Pip had reached Twilight's house (Which doubled as the Ponyville library). He gave 3 knocks at the door and it opened, revealing a purple unicorn with a dark blue mane and tail with pink streaks in it. (This story takes place during season 3, before Twilight became an alicorn)
"Hey Twilight, long time no see" Pip said with a salute.
"Oh Pip, it's you. You're just the pony I've been expecting. I have somepony who's been dying to see you again" Twilight said, motioning her left forearm for Pip to come in. Pip gave her a curious look and tilted his head. Who was this guest that Twilight had that was so important that he/she wanted to see him… who was it?
"Who is it? Do I know her?" Pip asked walking in to the house.
"Oh, I think you know her quite well" Twilight said, opening the door even further. Pip's eyes were wide open, shocked to see the pony who Twilight was talking about.
"…N-No way… it can't be…" Pip stuttered, still in disbelief at who he was seeing.
"It is. Hello Pip, it's been a while hasn't it?" The pony said, walking up to him, revealing to be none other than Luna, Princess of the night. Pip didn't know what to say. He didn't think he'd be seeing Princess Luna until next Nightmare Night, but apparently she arrived sooner than expected.
"P-Princess Luna, what you doing back here in Ponyville? More importantly, what are you doing here in the middle of the day? Aren't you the princess of the night?" Pip asked.
"I just wanted to see how Ponyville was doing since the last time I was here. Plus I wanted to drop by to see my favorite subject in all of Equestria" Luna explained.
"I'm your favorite subject? Cool!" Pip said.
"Yes you are. Also, just because I'm the Princess of the Night that doesn't mean I can't come out during the day. If my sister can come out at night then I can come out at day"
"Ok, sorry" Pip said, holding his hooves up to his chest to calm Luna down.
"It's alright, you didn't know any better" Luna said then brought the young foal close to her chest in an embrace. Pip enjoyed the moment until Luna broke the hug. "So, you've got the whole day to spend with me. What do you want to do first?" she asked. Pip was surprised, today of all days he was going to spend the entire day to spend with his favorite princess. (School let out early so it made sense). Pip thought for a moment about all the fun things he and Luna could do together. And he came to a conclusion, but then he remembered something.
"Wait right there! I'll be right back" Pip said, telling the princess to wait. She and Twilight waited for Pip to come back.
-5 minutes later-
Pip came back 5 minutes later wearing a red bandana around his neck cowboy style.
"Pip, looking good" Luna complemented the young Trottingham colt. Pip turned his head to the side with a blush.
"Ready to go?" Pip asked shyly. Luna responded with a nod and the two ponies left the library.
-In the middle of Ponyville-
Pip and Luna were in the middle of ponyville was staring at them; they couldn't believe Luna was with a foal, and Pip of all ponies.
"So Pip, what would you like to do first?" Luna asked her young friend.
"I was thinking we could go to the lake and take a swim or theforest and watch all the animals, or go to sweet apple acres and watch the sunset" Pip said.
"Sounds about the lake?" Luna suggested. Pip nodded in agreement.
"Race you" Pip challenged her. Luna accepted the challenge and ran alongside Pip, with her being the faster of the two of course.
-At the lake-
The two ponies made it to the lake a little worn out of breath. They huffed and huffed to catch their breath. When their breathing was back to normal Pip flipped his mane back to normal and looked up at Luna with a smile.
"So? Wanna take a swim?" Pip asked pointing his hoof to the water.
"Uh, no, that's alright, you go ahead, I think I'll just sit here and watch you" Luna said, sitting on her butt, smiling.
"Ok" Pip said. He ran to the lake and jumped in. "Geronimo!" he yelled as he splashed into the water, which wasn't very big considering his size and body weight. Some water got on Luna, but she didn't mind. Luna enjoyed watching her little colt friend having fun. She smiled, but she wondered something...
"What a joyful little foal. He's so happy, so innocent, but…" Luna thought to herself about what Pip was missing, but shook her head to get it off her mind. Pip was under water doing spins and stuff. He learned how to swim from Pinkie Pie a few weeks ago a few months after realizing he was a terrible swimmer after Luna saved him from drowning to death. Pip then came up for air and got out of the water. He was soaking wet, his mane, tail, and coat dripping with water. He shook himself off to get dry since he didn't have a towel. Luna smiled at this. "Had fun, Pip?" she asked.
"Yeah, but not as fun as hanging out with you Princess" Pip said. Luna smiled and turned away with blush on her cheeks.
"…Want to go get something to eat?" Luna asked.
"Well, I did only have a cupcake. So, I guess I could use some actual food" Pip said. Pip walked ahead with Luna right behind him as they left the lake back to Ponyville.
-Back at Ponyville-
Pip and Luna were walking in Ponyville to Sugarcube corner (They didn't just serve sweets). When Pip and Luna arrived at Sugarcube corner, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were surprised to see one of the princesses in their store. Mrs. Cake walked up to Luna and bowed with a tray of cupcakes on her head.
"Your highness, my I offer you a—"
"Please, don't call me that" Luna interrupted her.
"Sorry, a thousand pardons" Mrs. Cake said bowing several times
"It's alright, just… don't do it again please" Luna said in a normal tone.
"Yes Princess. Cupcake?" Mrs. Cake offered a cupcake.
"N-No thanks. Pip and I would like an actual lunch thank you" Luna said. Mrs. Cake nodded, seated them, and handed them their menus. She came back 5 minutes later and asked them what they wanted.
"I'll have—"
"He'll have they have they hay fries with applesauce on the side. And I'll have… the black rose and tulip sandwich" Luna said, ordering for both her and Pip. Mrs. Cake took their orders, nodded, and got their food. Pip looked at Luna with udder shock.
"How did you know what I wanted?" Pip asked, wondering how Luna knew what he wanted.
"Since I am Princess of the night it is my duty to come into your dreams. So naturally I know what your favorite food was" Luna explained.
"Huh, never noticed you in my dreams before" Pip said
"You were to busy going on adventures to notice" Luna said jokingly. Pip chuckled. Mrs. Cake came back with their food.
"The hay fries for Pip, and the black rose and tulip sandwich for the princess" Mrs. Cake said handing them their food. The two thanked her and she left. Luna smiled. Pip was about to eat his fries when her a familiar voice call his name. He turned around and noticed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara motioned a hoof for him to come outside. Pip turned to the Princess and told her he'd be right back. Pip was outside with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Hey Pip, what are you doing?" Diamond Tiara said with an evil grin.
"Nothin' much, just hangout with the Princess, swimming, eating lun—"
"How did a squirt like you, get to spend the day with one of the Princesses?!" Diamond Tiara shouted in anger. "If anything she should be spending the day with me!" She pointed out. "I'm the prettiest filly in Ponyville! I'm the one with most class! My dad's the one with the most money! It should be me who spends the day with the Princess! Not a two-bit, half pint, squirt like you!" She shouted then pushed Pip to the ground. Pip tried to get up but Diamond Tiara punched his face with a hoof and knocked him back to the ground. Pip groaned a little.
"You don't deserve to hangout…" Pip mumbled and trailed off.
"What was that, Blank Flank?" Diamond Tiara leaned in with her left ear.
"I SAID you don't deserve to hangout with the PRINCESS!" Pip shouted at the top of his lungs. Diamond Tiara got furious, her cheeks turning as red as Big Mac's fur.
"That's it! Silver Spoon… Let's teach him a lesson he'll never forget" Diamond Tiara told Silver Spoon. They walked up to Pip and grabbed him.
Luna was sitting there at the table. It had been 5-10 minutes, and Pip's food was getting cold. Luna was getting worried, so she checked outside to see if he was alright. When she arrived outside, she noticed Pip was nowhere to be found. "…Pip?" She questioned. "…Pip" she said again. "Pip, where are you?!" Luna asked in a worried tone. She searched and asked everypony where Pip was. One of the ponies named Derpy told her that she saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon carry Pip off to the an alleyway. Despite her being cross-eyed Derpy could see pretty well. Luna thanked her and searched every alley in Ponyville.
-A moment later-
After her long search, Luna had managed to find Pip, beaten up, lying on his side behind a dumpster. "Oh my Gosh, Pip!" Luna yelled in a worried tone and ran to his side. "Pip… Pip… Pip, wake up!" She said, shaking the colt, holding him in her arms. Pip managed to wake up and weakly opened his eyes. He had a swollen cheek, a black eye, some missing teeth, and blood was coming out of his mouth, and he also had a few scrapes and bruses over his body.
"Mmm… Princess Luna?" Pip weakly said.
"Pip, thank goodness you're alright!" Luna said, happy to see that Pip was alive. "What happened?" she asked while still hold him.
"D-Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon beat me up" Pip said.
"Oh, you poor thing. Here, let me fix you up" Luna said in a sort of motherly tone. She levitated Pip with her magic and used a healing spell on him. He wasn't completely healed, he had some bruises here and there, and a black eye, but over all he was pretty much healed. Pip fell to the ground and landed on his hooves.
"Thanks" Pip thanked her.
"You're welcome. Now tell me, what happened? Why did they do this?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow. Pip looked to the ground.
"Diamond Tiara beat me up because she was jealous that you were hanging out with me" Pip told her.
"Well when I get back to Canterlot there will be hell to pay. Nopony treats my favorite subject that way and gets way with it!" Luna said, raising a hoof in righteous anger. Pip smiled at this. Luna calmed down. "But for now, let's get you home. Your parents must be worried sick about you" Luna said in a normal voice. Pip looked away. "So? Shall you lead the way?" Luna asked. Pip silently nodded.
-10 to 20 minutes later-
They arrived at Pip's "home". It was another alleyway except this one had a giant piece of wood between the buildings.
"Well… this is it. This is where I live" Pip said, motioning to the wood.
"This is it? This is where you live? You and your parents?" Luna asked in a curious voice. Pip lowered his head.
"… I… don't have any parents. I'm all alone" Pip said, and then walked through a door in the wood. Luna put a hoof in front of her mouth. "And my home is pretty pathetic to say the least" Pip said, getting to the other side. Luna followed him through
"Oh come on. I'm sure it can't be that…" Luna said, but when she reached the other side and saw what his "home" looked like. "… Bad" she was at a loss for words. She looked around and saw what it looked like. Apple cores everywhere, trashcans on both sides of the walls, and a dumpster behind his bed… which turned out to be a doggy bed. She then looked down at Pip with a worried look. "This would explain why his pirate costume looked all messed up" she thought to herself. "Pip… I… I had no idea" she said, unsure how to explain what she felt.
"It's alright, I'm used to it. You probably want to go back to Canterlot now, huh?" Pip said, feeling like Luna didn't want to spend time with him now. Luna walked up to the young foal and embraced him in a hug, holding him in her arms once more.
"…No. I'm not gonna leave you like this. I'm gonna make sure you get taken care of" Luna said, stroking his mane and kissing his head. Pip felt this and began to cry in her arms. "It's ok, I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you" Luna said rubbing his back and nuzzling him lovingly.
-Nighttime (in Canterlot)-
It was nighttime, and Luna was pacing back and forth in her room, Thinking about little Pipsqueak. She felt bad for him. How could such an innocent child be deprived of a loving home? Without loving parents? She really felt bad for him. Just then Luna's older sister, Celestia came into her room.
"Luna, you're still up. What has you troubled dear sister?" Celestia asked.
"1. I'm the Princess of the night, of course up at this hour. 2. … I have this friend who needs my help" Luna said.
"Then help him. I'm sure he needs you as much as you want to help him" Celestia said. "What's the problem?" she asked
"Celestia… he's an orphan" Luna said. Celestia gasped lightly. "Yeah, and he needs my help" Luna said. Celestia was silent for a moment then spoke up.
"…What does he mean to you? How badly do you want to help him?" Celestia knowingly asked, giving her younger sister advice.
"…I know he needs a home, and that he needs my help, and that he needs…" Luna paused for a moment. "…Me" Luna came to a realization. A spark went of in Luna's head and heart. "I know what I need to do!" Luna said, realizing, knowing what she had to do.
And that's it for Chapter 1 everybody. Be sure to stay tuned for Chapter 2. What's Luna's plan? You'll have to stay tuned and find out. This is Sunblast X signing off!

2. Chapter 2: A new life
Hey guys, it's me, Sunblast X and welcome back to Chapter 2 of: Luna's Foal. In the last chapter we saw Pip and Luna have a bonding day, but then Luna found out about Pip's life. Now she must find a way to help her most beloved subject. What is her plan? Find out today on Chapter 2: A new life.
-Morning in Canterlot-
When morning arose in Canterlot, Luna was up bright and early, ready to do what she needed to do. She had already eaten breakfast and had walked to the edge of the balcony. She looked over her shoulder, looked at one of the guards, and smiled.
"Tell my sister, I know what I must do" Luna said. She then spread her wings, jumped of the balcony and flew off to Ponyville to accomplish her task. Luna was flying through the skies of Canterlot straight to Ponyville. "Can't believe I'm doing this, but… in a way… it feels really good" Luna thought to herself with a smile. "I can't wait to see the look on Pip's face when I tell him the good news" Luna said to herself. Sooner or later she had seen Ponyville in her sight.
-Ponyville-
It had not taken long for Luna to arrive in Ponyville. She was wearing the cloak she had worn on Nightmare Night so nopony would recognize her. Luckily for her it worked. She looked around and noticed an orange pony with blond hair and apples for a cutie mark, it was Applejack! Luna walked up to her.
"…Applejack?" Luna said to her. Applejack turned around, squinted her eyes and realized who the pony was.
"Princess Luna?" Applejack asked in curious tone, realizing it was her.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Luna said in a whisper.
"Oh, sorry" Applejack whispered. "So what's up? Whatchadoin' here in Ponyville?" She asked in her usual country cowgirl accent.
"Let's just say I'm here on… personal duties. Do you know where the adoption center is?" she asked her.
"It's by the Ponyville hospital just southeast of here. If you fly I'm sure you'll make it" Applejack pointed in the direction of southeast. "Why do you need to know that?" she asked her.
"A friend of mine needs my help" She said.
"Pipsqueak?" She said.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"Princess… everypony who knows him knows… he has no one" Applejack said. "andeverypony at school who knows, picks on him as well" she lowered her head in guilt.
"Then that just means he needs me know more than ever" She said in determination. She ran off to the Ponyville adoption center.
-At the Adoption Center-
When Luna arrived at the center she wasn't surprised that not that many ponies were there; she kind of expected it actually. She walked forward and the mare at the counter asked if she could help her.
"Yes, you can actually" Luna said. "…I was wondering if I could adopt a foal and… give him a loving home" Luna said, hoping she'd say yes.
"Him?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "Is the one you're talking about, Pip? Shaggy hair? Brown spots on a white coat? Trottingham accent?And really short for his age?" She described him.
"Yes, that's the one. Do you know him?" Luna asked.
"Sadly, yes. Poor little guy has no family, nopony to look after him. And he walked all the way here from Trottingham all by himself. And the only thing we know about him is that his parents abandoned him… at least… that's what he's told us" she said. "He's all alone in this world. With no one to notice him" she said lowering her head in sadness. Luna's heart sank upon hearing this. She put her right hoof on her chest and eyes began to water. Knowing how it felt to be alone, know how it felt… to be Pip.
"…I'd like… to adopt him" Luna said. The mare looked at her wide-eyed and mouth slightly opened.
"You serious?" the mare asked.
"Very… I'm very serious" she replied.
"Look… I have no problem with him finding a home, but…" She trailed off. "We can't just give him to you just because you ask us to. We have to sign papers, check your background history—"
"I'm pretty sure my history is good enough. And I'm pretty sure you can make an exception for…" Luna said. "The Princess of the Night"she said while removing her hood. The mare looked at her with surprise. She didn't think a princess, let alone the princess of the night would want to adopt a foal.
"…P-P-P Princess L-Luna..." She said, still in disbelief. She bowed several times in forgiveness, respect, and possible fear of Luna. "I'm so sorry; I didn't realize it was you. We'll get your adoption papers right away" She said quickly, retrieving the papers in a hurry, fearing what Luna might do to her if she didn't.
"Now that's more like it" Luna said with a smirk on her face. Turns out being the living embodiment of Nightmare Moon and the Princess of the Night had its advantages. She could also invade other ponies' dreams and bend it to her will, so that really helped her out.
"Here you go! One adoption paper for the adoption of one colt! He-he" the mare said in a nervous tone and then chuckled nervously. Luna got a pen with her magic and smiled.
-At Ponyville schoolhouse-
The bell had rung and every filly and colt headed out to either head home or hangout with their friends. Pip had walked out sadly, having heard yet another parent lecture by one of his classmate's parents. Pip was walk with his head held down until he was covered by a shadow. He looked up and saw…
"Princess Luna?" Pip asked in a confused tone, seeing her descend upon the ground, landing her hooves right in front of him.
"Hello Pip. Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going… home" He said in a depressed tone. He was about to walk past her, when she put her hoof on his chest, stopping him. He looked up at her and saw her smile.
"That's right Pip. You are going home. To your new home" She said.
"New home? Where?" he asked, having a feeling that "home" meant "orphanage".
"Maybe THIS will answer your question" Luna said, pulling out a piece of paper with her magic and handing it to Pip. Pip grabbed it, read it, and widened his eyes looking up at her with wonder.
"Y-You mean?" Pip asked, wonder what he thought was thinking was right.
"That's right, as of today, you are officially part of the royal family… and my son" Luna said, spreading her forearms to bring Pip into a hug. Pip's eyes watered and jumped into his new mother arms. They embraced each other in a loving hug. Luna then spoke up. "So? What's say we take you to your new home, in Canterlot" she said. Pip nodded three times. Luna placed used her magic to place Pip on her back and spread her wings to fly of to Canterlot, everypony was awestruck. Pip noticed one of the ponies was Diamond Tiara and stuck his tongue out in her, which caused her to blush with jealousy and anger.
-On the way to Canterlot-
Luna and Pip were high in the sky. Pip couldn't believe that this was happening to him. In all his short years of life he never thought he'd be adopted by Princess Luna herself. He also never thought about becoming a Prince either. Luna then looked up at Pip's amazed expression.
"Enjoying the view, little one?"Luna asked, smiling at him.
"Yeah, it's amazing" Pip said. He then wrapped his arms around her neck. "…Thanks Princess" Pip thanked her.
"Your… welcome, Pip" Luna said, returning the hug but felt a little sad inside. "Princess? I adopted him. Shouldn't he be calling me 'mom' or 'mommy' or something like that?" she thought to herself. "Then again I adopted him today, so it's understandable. But still…" Luna said to thought to herself again. Just then she noticed Canterlot castle up ahead. "Well, her we are Pip, your new home, Canterlot Castle" Luna said, motioning her right hoof to the castle. Pip eyes grew bright with awe as he saw the big castle. He couldn't believe it. Was he seriously going to be living here? But then his face fell to one of disappointment. "Pip, something wrong?" Luna asked her adopted foal with eyes of concern. Pip looked at her.
"…N-No, nothing's wrong, it's just that… what if nopony likes me? What if they treat me like dirt and are only nice to me because I'm the son of the Princess of the Night? Plus… I don't think I'll like it at those fancy schools. I heat most of the ponies of Canterlot are stuck up and snooty" Pip told her.
"Where'd you hear that?" She asked.
"Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity" He listed 4 of the mane 6.
"Well… you won't have to worry about all of that. If anypony messes with you, they're gonna have to answer to me or my sister" Luna said. This cheered Pip up a bit.
"Thanks, Princess" he said. Soon enough they had descended on Canterlot Castle, with Pip jumping off of his adopted mother's back. They walked down the royal halls of the castle into the throne room. Celestia was sitting on her red and gold throne next to Luna's blue and silver one, and noticed her sister walking up to her with smile.
"Luna? Did you do what you had to do?" Celestia asked, hopping off of her throne and walking up to her sister.
"Yes I did sister" Luna said with closed eyes and a nod.
"Well?" Celestia asked, wondering what her sister's choice was.
"Celestia, I'd like you to meet somepony very special" Luna said. She stepped to the right to try to show the colt, but he quickly moved to right behind his adoptive mother. Luna turned her head and looked at him. "It's ok sweetie, don't be shy" Luna told him. He listened to her words and shyly came from behind his adopted mother's side. "Celestia, meet the newest member of our family, and your new nephew, Pip!" Luna said excitedly. Pip didn't know what to say; he was speechless. Sure he could talk to Princess Luna no problem, but that was because he had confidence and he met her more than once. This however, was Princess Celestia, the supreme ruler of Equestria… he was nervous. "Say hello to Aunt Celestia, Pipsqueak" Luna said, nudging her son with her nose.
"H-Hello" Pip said nervously. Celestia lowered her head to Pip's height/
"So you're the one my dear sister has been talking about so much since Nightmare Night" Celestia said. "It's so nice to finally meet you" she said with a warm smile. She stood back up and offered a hoof of friendship. Pip smiled back and shook her hoof back.
"It's nice to finall meet you as well. Twilight and her friends have told me a lot about you" Pip said.
"Oh, have they now?" Celestia said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, they say you're real nice and stuff and that you give them helpful advice" Pip said.
"That's nice of them" Celestia said.
"Yeah… although the sad part is, they never mention Princess Luna" Pip said, looking down at the ground.
"That's alright Pip. I'm more known for coming out at Night anyways" Luna said. Pip looked back with relief. "Pip, why don't my sister and I give you a tour of the castle hm?"
"That'd be neat" Pip said, looking up at her.
-The tour of the Castle-
Celestia and Luna were giving Pip the tour of the castle, with the two of them walking side-by-side, and Pip walking in front.
"Luna, I know I've asked you this before, but are you certain?" Celestia asked in whisper to her sister so Pip wouldn't hear. Luna looked at her sister. She then turned to see Pip and smiled, and then turned to her sister again.
"As I said before sister… I'm sure" Luna said, confident she made the right choice. "I wanted to give him the loving home he needs" she said, admiring Pip. He was a bright child. Kind hearted, and adventurous.
"If that's what you wish little sister" Celestia said, accepting her sister's choice to adopt Pip.
"Thank You. With his kind heartedness and adventurous attitude he could probably be the—"Luna's sentence was cut short when she noticed Pip was about to touch a sword held by a statue. "Pip, don't touch that!" Luna told him with concern and worry. But it was too late. For Pip's hoof had already made contact with it. The sword was about to land on him, but quickly preformed a back-flip before it had a chance to. Luna and her sister looked at him wide eyed, their mouths slightly agaped. Luna walked up to Pip with her sister. "Pip… how did you do that?" Luna asked.
"Just something I picked up. When you've been as long as I have, and have been bullied as long as I have, you pick up a few things" Pip said.
"Hmm" Luna said to herself under her breath. Pip continued walking. Luna looked up at her sister. "Celestia, you don't think?" Luna started.
"Maybe. We'll just have to wait and see" Celestia said. The two of them started following the young foal. Pip was walking forward with his eyes closed. When he bumped into somepony… somepony… who should have never been born.
"Ugh! How in Equestria did a filthy commoner like you get into the castle?! GUARDS! An intruder has set foot into the castle! Guards! Guards!" the blond haired stallion shouted like a wuss. Princess Luna saw this and stepped forward to defend her son.
"Blueblood!" Luna stated in a rather annoyed tone. "You leave him alone! He is no intruder. I am the one who brought him here myself" Luna told him.
"Y-You? But he is just a commoner! A lowly commoner not meant to even set hoof into the royal castle. He is nothing but a worthless foal" Blueblood insulted to Pip. Those last words stung Pip's little heart like lightning and he began to tear up. He then began to cry and run off behind Luna and Celestia.
"No, Pip, wait!" Luna tried to stop him. "Blueblood!" she said in an angry and annoyed voice. She then left to chase after Pip.
"Prince Blueblood!" Celestia said in an irritated tone.
"What? What did I do?" Blueblood asked, seriously not knowing what he did wrong.
"You know what you did!" Celestia said. "By insulting the innocent little foal, you also hurt his feelings" Celestia told him, now really annoyed.
"But auntie he's—" Blueblood started.
"Don't 'But auntie' me! Young stallion!" Celestia said, mocking his tone of voice. "You are going to go apologize to him and tell him you're sorry. Because like it or not, he's family now and you will show him some respect, or else no more royal events for you! Understand?" Celestia said.
"… Yes Auntie" Blueblood said, lowering his head in defeat. He started walking with a lowered head to go apologize to his new cousin. Celestia followed him to make sure he did just that; she was keeping an angry eye on him.
-In the royal halls-
"Pip? Pip?!" Luna shouted, searching for her adopted foal. "Pip, honey, come back!" Luna said, she was now starting to get worried. All of a sudden Luna started to hear crying from a nearby closet. She walked up slowly to the closet and placed her hoof and left ear on the door. The crying sounded familiar, Luna knew who it was who was crying. Luna lightly knocked on the door. "Pip, honey?" Luna asked, trying to talk to him.
"Pip's not here right now. Go away" Pip responded in a sad tone.
"Pip, open the door, it's me" Luna said, trying to reason with him
"Why should I? Why would you want to be with a worthless foal like me? I'm nothing; I'm nopony special" he said, sounding down.
"Pip, you're not nothing. Do you think I wouldn't have adoted you if you were nothing?" Luna said in her kind words. "Please Pip, come out" she said. Pip then came out of the closet with a sad expression on his face, a little teary eyed. Pip sniffed and looked up at her.
"D-Do you really mean that?" Pip said, looking sad.
"Of course I do" Luna said with a warm, sympathetic smile. Pip ran up to her and they lovingly embraced each other in a warm hug. Luna stroked, and petted his mane. "There, better?" She cooed in a kind, warm, motherly voice. Pip nodded. "Good, I'm gonna make sure nothing bad ever happens to you" she said, cuddling the foal in her arms.
"Aw, looks like you found him" a voice said from behind them. Luna set Pip down and turned to reveal the voice had came from her sister, Celestia.
"yeah, I did" Luna said, looking down at Pip and rubbing his head with her hoof. Luna then noticed Prince Blueblood staring at the ground with slight guilt.
"Go on, say it!" Celestia said, nudging Blueblood with her hoof.
"I'm… sorry if I… hurt your feelings" Blueblood said, choking on the words in his throat. Pip, Luna, and all smiled at his attempt to apologize. "Even though what I said was entirely true" Blueblood quickly said under her breath. He was then punched in his right arm by Celestia. "Ow!" he said, rubbing where he was punched. Celestia gave him an irritated glare that told him to ask him for forgiveness. Blueblood sighed and did as he was told. "Forgive me?" he asked holding out his hoof for a hoofshake of forgiveness. Pip was hesitant, so he looked up at Luna. She nodded, telling him to forgive him.
"Sure, I forgive you, I guess" Pip said, shaking Blueblood's hoof.
"Pip, why don't you continue the tour of the castle with Aunt Celestia while I have word with your… cousin, Blueblood" Luna told Pip.
"Ok, Princess Luna" Pip said. He walked past his aunt and she then she followed her adopted nephew. When the two of them were finally gone Luna gave Blueblood a angry and irritated glare.
"Look Blueblood!" Luna said, walking up to him angrily. "I don't care if you are mine and my sister's nephew. Nopony, and I mean nopony is gonna harm my son while I'm around. Do you understand?" she said. Blueblood could only nod in fear. "Good, cuz if I find him crying in a corner because you hurt his feelings or beat him up, I'm gonna make sure you regret the day you were ever born. Got it blondy?" Luna said, getting up in his face. Blueblood could only nod in fear once more, knowing exactly what his other aunt was capable of doing. "Good! Well, enjoy the rest of your day!" Luna said in cheery tone.
"…Celestia help me" Blueblood said in fear. After that he suddenly wet himself, staining the tile floor with his pee.
And there you have it! Chapter 2 everybody! Stay tuned for Chapter 3. What adventures will Pip get into? What kind of mother will turn out to be? And will Blueblood ever accept Pip as a member of the royal family? Find out next time in Chapter 3.

3. Chapter 3: a new day
Hey Guys it's me Sunblast X and welcome to chapter 3 of: Luna's Foal. In the last chapter Pip had been adopted by Princess Luna and met the rest of the royal family. Also Blueblood peed himself. Now let's get on with Chapter 3: A new day.
-At the dinner table-
Everypony was sitting at the dinner table. Pip was sitting next to his adoptive mother, and they were all waiting for their dinner. Blueblood decided to bring something up.
"So, Pip. What was it like to live on the streets like a filthy animal?" he asked.
"Blueblood!" Luna yelled his name angrily, slamming her hoof down on the table.
"No, no, it's fine Princess" Pip said, placing his left hoof on her shoulder to calm her down. "Well… you see… it was horrible. I didn't have a home, or a real bed. I was on my own, nopony to take care of me. I even slept behind a dumpster" Pip explained.
"That explains your odor" Blueblood whispered to himself to make a side comment. "Ow!" he exclaimed in pain, having been hit by a blast of Luna's magic and sent flying of his chair. Apparently Luna had heard his comment and blasted him in irritation. There was smoke coming off of Luna's horn, but she calmly blew it away. Surprisingly Pip didn't notice this.
"Oh, sorry Blueblood. You know, you should really be more careful when I'm trying to hit my target" Luna jokingly lied, giving him a narrow eyed smile, saying she was trying to hit a fly on the wall, when really she was getting back at Blueblood. Blueblood got up and sat back on his seat, giving his nocturnal aunt an annoyed glare. Just then the waiters brought the food. The meal a plate of spinach burritos, complete with sour cream. Pip looked down at his dinner and took a whiff. He had never had an actual meal before, so he didn't know if he's like it.
"Try it. It's good" Luna said, encouraging Pip to try the burritos. Pip looked at her then back at the food. He grabbed one of the burritos with his mouth, dipped it in the sour cream and took a bite out of the side with the sour cream on it. He chewed it slowly, savoring the taste, and then swallowed it down his throat. Both Princess Luna and Celestia looked at him with smiles, wondering what he thought of the burrito. There was a moment of silence. After that Pip quickly devoured his meal, having been enjoying the meal and be real hungry. He was eating so fast that spinach was flying everywhere. When he finished there was food all around his mouth and some was even on his forehead. He let out at a cute little burp. Luna and Celestia giggled at the foal's antic. Blueblood however, gave a disgusted look. "Ha-ha, ok little one. After I'm done eating I'm going to give you a bath, and then it's time for bed, ok?" Luna said. Pip nodded with smile and whipped his mouth with a napkin. The rest of the royal family began eating their dinner, but with more… restraint than Pip. After dinner Luna grabbed Pip with her magic and placed him on her back. She walked out of the royal dining room and head to the bathroom to give Pip a bath. He had been living on the streets after, so it made sense that he needed a bath.
-Bath time-
Luna was in the bathroom running Pip's bath water. She poured some bubble bath in the water so she could clean him. Pip was on the ground. Luna used her magic to remove her son's red scarf (neckerchief) from around his neck and placed it on the towel rack. She then used her magic again to place Pip in the water.
"Now, it's time to get you all nice and clean" Luna said. She poured some shampoo on his head and began to wash his mane. She scrubbed hard enough to get in deep, but not so hard that it would hurt him. She got a cup and poured water over his head to wash away the soap on his head. She then got a mini hoof-held bath brush, poured soap on it and began to scrub his body. She began with his back and scrubbed really good to get the dirt out of his coat. She then moved to his underarms and scrubbed really well. She moved to his face and covered his eyes so soap wouldn't get into them. She scrubbed his cheeks, and then moved down to his neck. When she was done with his face and neck she moved down to his torso, scrubbing his chest and stomach. She made him stand on all four hooves and poured more water over his body. She then moved down to his legs and thighs. She washed both of his flanks and then all four of his legs. "Oh my! What powerful legs you have" Luna commented.
"I did some running back in Ponyville" he replied. When she was done with his legs he moved to his hooves and scrubbed especially hard on them. Finally she poured shampoo on his tail, but unlike his me mane she didn't have to scrub as hard. She poured water over his body a few more times and she was finally done with his bath. She got a navy blue towel off the rack, lifted Pip up from the tub with her magic, and wrapped him up in bundle, leaving only his front legs free. She held Pip in her arms and pulled the plug out of the tub. When all the dirty water went down the drain, Luna began walking off with Pip in her arms, grabbed his scarf with her magic, and turned off the lights to the bathroom.
-Pip's Room-
Luna walked with Pip to his room and placed him on the bed. She used her hooves to dry him off. She then used her magic to blow hot wind, using her horn as a hair dryer. She wiped his back with the towel one last time and teleported it back to the towel rack in the bathroom. Pip and Luna smiled at each other. Pip looked around.
"So this is my room?" Pip asked.
"It sure is" Luna said. "You get your own bed, your own closet, and other stuff like that. You even have a treasure chest to put you toys and costumes and stuff in" Luna explained.
"Wow" Pip said in amazement.
"Now, it's time for you to go to bed my young Prince. A growing colt needs his rest" Luna said. She placed him beneath the covers, and tucked him in. "Goodnight, dearest Pip" she said. She stroked his mane and kissed his forehead. Pip looked at Luna and shut his eyes to fall asleep. "Sweet dreams my little colt" she said, walking away to give Pip his sleep. She turned out the lights, shut the door, and headed out into the hallways.
-In the hallways-
Luna was walking down the hallways. She continued walking and noticed her sister walking in the opposite direction.
"Hello, little sister" Celestia greeted her sister.
"Good evening, dear sister" Luna greeted back, even though it was nighttime. "What are you doing up so late?" she asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I came to check up on you and my new nephew" Celestia said.
"Wow, that was nice of you" Luna said. "I'm fine. And Pip's asleep" Luna told her.
"That's a shame. I wanted to say goodnight to him"Celestia said. "Oh well" she said. They shrugged and went their separate ways, heading towards their bedroom as well. Luna already fulfilled her duties for tonight, so now it was time for her to get some sleep as well.
-Luna's room-
An hour or so had passed since she tucked Pip in and put him to sleep. She had fallen asleep herself moments ago. She was sleeping peacefully when she heard her bedroom door open. She placed her hoof over her eyes to see who was there.
"Hmm? What's going on?" she asked. She saw it was Pip who was at the door. He had a frightened expression and was shaking. She got out of bed and walked up to him. "Pip, what's wrong?" she asked her frightened colt.
"I… I had a Nightmare" Pip said. Luna sighed and held him in her arms, stroking his mane.
"It's ok. Tell me what happened" she said looking down at him.
"I was asleep, and I was dreaming. It was dark… and I saw a demon… and… it called my name in a scary voice… and it chased me down… and… and…" Pip then began to cry and tremble in her arms, burying his face in her chest.
"Shh… it's ok, it's ok… mommy's here, mommy's here" Luna said in a calm, soothing voice to calm her little colt down. She nuzzled his head lovingly to reassure him he'd be alright, and she would protect him. Pip sniffed and looked up, a tear in his left eye. Luna looked down at him and gave him a warm smile. "It ok sweetie" she assured. "Come on, you can sleep with me for tonight. Would you like that?" she asked. Pip nodded, feeling he'd be safe with Luna. Luna placed Pip underneath her blankets and brought them up to his chin. Once she tucked him in, she got into bed herself. She brought him in and held him close to her chest, thinking it would keep him safe. Pip nuzzled her chest lovingly, feeling the warmth of her body and the hearing soothing sound of her heartbeat. Luna nuzzled him back and kissed his forehead. "Goodnight, my dear, Pipsqueak" Luna said, closing her eyes, holding her adopted foal in her arms. Pip was asleep, but he mumbled something.
"Goodnight… Mommy" Pip said in his sleep. Luna opened her eyes in slight surprise, he mouth slightly open. She smiled and a tear of joy ran down her cheek. She visited Pip in his dream so he could protect him from any danger. That night everypony went to sleep peacefully.
-The next morning-
Celestia was up bright and early, sitting at the breakfast table, reading and drinking her morning tea. Then the door opened and she saw Pip walk up and take his seat.
"Good morning, dear nephew" Celestia greeted her nephew Pip, and then took a sip of tea.
"Good morning, Aunt Celestia" Pip greeted her back.
"So, where's your mother?" she asked.
"I'm here" Luna said walking in with eyes closed. She took her seat to the left of her son, and the right of her sister. When their breakfast arrived, so did Prince Blueblood. He took his seat one space to the right of Pip, leaving and empty seat between them. Blueblood didn't to have anything to do with Pip after last night's dinner… or at all for that matter. Their breakfast was pancakes with a side of eggs. Pip immediately began to eat his breakfast, putting a whole pancake in his mouth. Luna smiled then turned to her sister with the same expression.
"Ok Luna, what's up? Why are you so happy this morning?" Celestia asked her sister. Luna looked at Pip with joy then back at her sister.
"He finally called me it, Celestia. He finally called me… mom" Luna whispered to her sister so her son wouldn't hear their conversation.
"Did he now?" Celestia said with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, he did. He had a nightmare and I comforted him and when we went to sleep he said 'Goodnight mommy'. I'm so happy" Luna whispered. Celestia giggled lightly.
"Well I glad you're happy little sister" Celestia said. They looked at each until they turned their heads to notice Blueblood teaching Pip how to eat breakfast like a royal wuss. Pip was struggling; he was just a foal after all.
"No, no, no. you must take small bites like a gentlecolt. Like this" Blueblood said, showing how a gentlecolt must eat his food.
"Blueblood" Luna intervened. "Let him eat his food the way he wants to eat it" she said.
"But—"Blueblood was about to make statement, but saw Luna charge up her horn with magic and sighed in defeat. "Fine" he said. Luna patted Pip's head gently as he continued to eat his pancakes. She kept her hoof on Pip's head as he kept eating so he wouldn't notice her giving Blueblood a stare that said: "Stop messing with my son" and "I'm keeping my eye on you". When Pip was finished with his breakfast his nudged his mother's front leg with his hoof.
"Yes?" Luna asked, Pip having gotten her attention.
"What are we going to do today, mom?" he asked. Luna smiled at his innocent question.
-After breakfast-
Pip and Luna were walking side by side down the hall. Pip then looked up at his adoptive mother.
"So? What did you have planned" Pip asked her.
"Nothing much. I just thought we could take a stroll around Canterlot and get to bond some more" she suggested. Pip liked the idea of getting to spend more time with his new mom. "But first I want to aske you something" Luna said.
"Yes?" he asked.
"…What took you so long to call me mom?" Luna asked in a curious voice and a raised eyebrow.
"…Well…" Pip started. "It's just that… I've never had anypony care about me before… and" he continued. "I also never had a mother who cared about me before. So I was nervous about calling you mom" he said. "And last night, when you held me in your arms to comfort me after I had that nightmare. I felt safe, warm, and happy. And because of that I could finally build up the courage to call you… mom" he finished. Luna was touched by this; she smiled and held her right hoof to her heart.
"Luna" a voice called Luna's name. She turned around to see it was her sister. "We need you in royal meeting room" Celestia said.
"Aw, what?" Pip said, upset that his mother had to attend a meeting. Luna looked disappointed as well.
"I'm sorry Luna; I know you wanted to spend time with your son today" Celestia said, feeling sorry for her sister and nephew. "Sorry to you too Pip; I know you wanted to probably wanted to play with your mother some more" Celestia said with sympathy. Pip lowered his head. Luna placed a hoof on his shoulder.
"Tell you what Pip. You be patient and wait for me, and we'll spend the whole day together, I promise" she offered. Pip thought for a second and nodded in agreement to his mother's offer. "Good, you don't you go explore the castle some more while mommy goes to do her royal duties?" she told him. He nodded and headed off.
"See you later, mom!" he shouted while running off.
"See you later, honey!" Luna shouted, watching Pip run off to who knows where. She then turned to face her sister. "Ok, what's the meeting about?" she asked.
-Pip's adventure-
Pip was walking down a hall, looking in every direction, amazed at every view. He turned his head to the left and noticed the Starswirl the bearded wing. He faced it and turned his head side to side to see if anypony was there. The coast was clear and he cautiously stepped forward to the gate that protected the wing. He stuck his head through one of the squares of the gate. Oddly enough he was able to squeeze through and enter on the other side. Yes, he was that small. When he was on the other side he looked around and noticed all the books.
"Wow! These are a lot of books!" Pip said, amazed at how many books there were. He walked around and noticed some interesting books that had some good spells: speed, flight, time travel, etc. Then he noticed a book that really caught his eye. "Magic and Spells For Earth Ponies" he read. "I think I'll hold on to this" he said, placing the book under his left front leg. He continued walking and got deeper into the wing. When he reached the end he noticed a hall full of statues of ponies.
"Interesting? Isn't it?" he heard a voice say from behind him. He turned around to see it was his mom.
"Mom? I thought you had a meeting?" he asked, remembering she had something important to do.
"I did. It only lasted about forty minutes" she said. Pip didn't realize how much time had gone by. "So? Amazing figures huh?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess. They're just statues" Pip said.
"These aren't just statues, Pip" Luna said, trying to get Pip interested in them. "These are some of Equestria's greatest heroes" Luna told him. They began walking down the hall. "Here is Iron strong. He was a fierce Viking leader, who maintained piece between his fellow ponies" she said, pointing to a pony in Viking clothing. They passed more statues and made on other stop. "Here are a group of ponies who have saved Equestria on countless occasions. I think you know them quite well" she said.
"Twilight and her friends" Pip said, seeing a statue of Twilight and her friends with the elements of harmony in statue form.
"Correct" she said. They moved down to the last and final statue in the hall. It was a young stallion who was standing proud and boldly. "Here is the final statue" she said. "His name was Terra Bolt. He was a good, kind hearted stallion who always looked after his loved ones, and put his friends and family before himself. Like Iron Strong, he too was a fierce warrior. He had quite the reputation of being a hero who helped anypony in need. He was also an amazing ally in the great pony war a thousand years ago" Luna explained to Pip.
"Whoa! That's amazing!" Pip said, amazed by the tale of Terra Bolt. Pip then noticed something wedged in front of the statue. He got a closer look at it. "What's with the sword?" he asked, pointing to the glowing blue sword wedged in to the stone.
"That is Terra Bolt's legendary sword: Luminous" Luna said. "It is said that only the descendent of Terra Bolt can release it" she said.
"Wow" Pip said.
"…Hm. Who knows? Terra Bolt's descendent could be right in front of us, and we wouldn't even know it" she said. Luna then walked off, leaving her son to stare at the sword with wonder.
"…Someday, I'm going one of Equestria's greatest heroes" Pip said boldly and with confidence. Luna looked back and smiled.
"And maybe, just maybe, you could also be the one we've been searching for, the one to wield… it" Luna said in her thoughts to herself, thinking Pip could be the one to wield… it. But what was this thing she was talking about? And what did it have to do with Pip?
… Only time will tell.
And there you have it, Chapter 3! What is this object Luna and Celestia keep talking about? And what does it have to do with Pipsqueak? You'll just have find out as the story progresses. See you all next on chapter 4 of: Luna's Foal.

4. Chapter 4: School Days
Hey guys it's me Sunblast X and welcome to chapter 4 of: Luna's foal. In the last chapter we saw Pip bonding with his new mother, Princess Luna, he called her mom, and to top it all off, Blueblood was hurt by Luna, isn't that just awesome? (Rhetorical question) Now that that's done with, let's move on to chapter 4: School days. Also I reveal an original character in this chapter, created by my good friend Porcupain.
It was morning in Canterlot, and Pip was asleep in his bed. It had been a week or so since his adoption by Princess Luna. Pip's door then slowly opened. It was his mother, Princess Luna. She slowly walked up to her son's bedside and looked at him. She thought he looked cute when he was asleep. Then again Pip was cute no matter what he did (Yes, I'm a guy and I just used the word "cute", don't judge me!).
"Wakey wakey Pip, it's time to get up" She said in a quiet tone, nudging him lightly with her hoof to wake him up. Pip groaned as he woke up and stretched his forearms with a yawn.
"…Mom? What time is it?" Pip asked in a groggily tone, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"It's time for you to get up. Today's your first day at your new school" Luna said, still in a quiet tone, knowing Pip was still half asleep.
"You enrolled me in a new school?" he asked
"Sure did" she replied.
"That's nice of you" Pip thanked her.
"Your welcome, Sweetheart" Luna said. "Now get ready. You have a big day ahead of you" she said, removing the sheets off of him. She then left the room so he could get ready.
-At the breakfast table-
Princess Luna, Celestia, and Prince Blueblood were all sitting at the breakfast table eating and waiting for Pip. Just then, as if on cue, Pip had came into the dining room.
"Morning Mom, morning Aunt Celestia" Pip greeted his mother and aunt.
"Good morning, Pipsqueak" Luna and Celestia greeted their young family member simultaneously as he took a seat next to his mother.
"So Pip, are you ready for your first day of school?" Celestia asked her younger nephew.
"Sure am" Pip replied. He then looked at his mom. "It's not one of those snooty, snobby, fancy, stuck-up Canterlot schools is it?" Pip asked her.
"No, of course not" Luna said to her son. "I would never put you in one of those schools" Luna said.
"Thank goodness! I don't think I can handle being at one of those schools" he said. He then dug into his cereal, which was a bowl of chocolate horseshoes.
"Although, I can't promise that there won't be those types of ponies there" Luna said which caused Pip to choke on his cereal. Luna lightly patted his back to release the cereal that was in her throat. Celestia then spoke up.
"Don't worry, Pip. I'm sure most of them won't be like that" Celestia said, comforting her nephew.
"Although I would suggest you go to one of those fancy schools anyway to help you improve your atrocious and unruly behavior. Honestly, you eat like a pig" Blueblood said. "Ow!" he proclaimed in pain, having been shot in the chest once again by a blast of Luna's magic.
"Really Blueblood, you should really watch were you're sitting when I'm doing target practice" Luna said in normal speaking voice after shooting Blueblood in the chest once again for insulting her son. This caused Pip to laugh. She then blew the smoke of her horn. "So? Ready to go Pip?" she asked.
"Sure am" Pip said. He then jumped off of his seat, having his mom strap his saddlebag onto his back. His saddlebag was black with red trims. "Oh! One more thing" Pip said, and then motioned his mom to come closer, which she did. "Could you blast Blueblood one more time?" he asked her. She nodded. And just as Blueblood was about to sit back in his seat, he was hit with another blast of magic from Luna's horn. Blueblood let out a scream of pain, signaling he was hurt. This made Pip and Luna laugh, enjoying the thrill of Blueblood's pain. "Ok. Let's go" he said then the two of them head of to Pip's new school. Blueblood was twitching as he was covered in smoke.
-Pip's New School-
Pip and Luna had arrived at Pip's new school. The name of the school was: Equestria Elementry. Luna looked down at Pip.
"Ready?" Luna asked Pip. Pip responded by looking down and away. Luna noticed her colt was nervous and knelt down to his height. "Hey, I know this isn't easy for you. But trust me; this'll get easier by the end of the day. I promise" Luna said, placing a hoof on his chin. Pip looked up at his mother and smiled. "And promise me you'll make at least one friend by the end of today, ok?" she asked him. He nodded. "Good. I've packed your lunch into you saddlebag. You'll have celery sticks with peanut butter on them, applesauce, and grape juice" she said, listing off his lunch items.
"Thanks mom" Pip said, nuzzling her chest, which caused Luna to nuzzle him back.
"Come on, let's go meet your teacher" she said. They then walked side by side to meet Pip's new teacher. When they entered the classroom they saw Pip's teacher, and the class was already filled with foals who happened to be Pip's new classmates. "Hello, you must be Pip's new teacher" Luna said, greeting her son's teacher.
"Yes, hello I'm Mr. James; you must be Princess Luna" The teacher known as Mr. James said, introducing himself. (This is the character that was created by my friend Porcupain. So all credit for this character goes to him) He was a blue earth pony, with a brown mane, blue eyes, and a brown tail. (He wasn't fat but he wasn't skinny either, he was rather chubby kind of) he also had a cutie mark was that of a piece of chalk next to a blackboard with the ABCs and 123s on it with an apple at the end of the railing. "…Princess Luna? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm here to drop my son off at school" she said, looking down at Pip.
"You're son? Oh that's right! I heard rumors that you adopted a young foal, but I didn't think they were true" James said.
"Is that a problem" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow.
"N-No, no, no, n-nothing wrong, it's perfectly fine" he replied nervously, sweating with nervousness and slight fear.
"Good" she said. She then turned to Pip and smiled, and then brought him close to her chest to nuzzle him. "Good luck Sweetie, see you after school" she said then placed a kiss on his forehead. This caused him to blush with embarrassment, noticing he was in front of his class. The class started laughing but then shut their traps the second Luna gave them a stare that struck fear into their little hearts, even the teacher was scared of her. Man was being princess of the night rewarding. There was a moment of silence. That's when Mr. James finally spoke up.
"Ok class, we have a new students joining us today. Everypony say hello to Pipsqueak" he told them.
"Hi, Pipsqueak" everypony in his class greeted him in a cheery tone.
"Hey guys" he greeted back. "And please, call me Pip" he suggested.
"Well then Pip, would you like to tell us about yourself?" Mr. James asked.
"Well, I was born in Trottingham, but was raised in Ponyville until I was adopted by Princess Luna;, my favorite princess in all of Equestria!" Pip said talking about his life and about his adoptive mother.
"Did you say Ponyville?" Mr. James asked.
"Yes" Pip responded.
"Was the name of your teacher, Miss. Cheerilee?" he asked.
"Yeah, you know her?" Pip asked.
"We went to school together when we were your age, we went to the same school in Ponyville that you did. She has always talked about being a teacher. I'm glad she got what she wished for" he said, explaining his history with Pip's old teacher, and his old friend. "Now, please take your seat. You can sit in that empty seat in the middle" he said, pointing to the seat in the center of the classroom. Pip did as he was told and sat in his seat. Mr. James went on with his lesson, which ironically was about cutie marks. The lesson went on until it was time to dismiss the class for recess/lunch. Pip hopped out of his seat and headed towards the playground.
-At Recess-
Pip was on his was to the playground, when he was stopped by a colt calling out to him. He turned to face him and hesitantly walked over to him.
"Yes…?" Pip asked carefully.
"So… you think that just because you're Princess Luna's son, you better than us huh?" the colt said. He was about an inch or two taller than Pip. He had a dark green coat, an ocean blue mane and tail with sky blue streaks in them, light blue eyes, and his cutie mark was a glowing buzz saw cutting through a piece of wood.
"No, that's not what I think" Pip said, standing up for himself.
"Good, because your not. I'm Ocean Dust; my parents are one of the richest ponies in all of Canterlot. And your nothing but a Trottingham born, Ponyville raised commoner who got lucky, that's all" Ocean Breeze said.
"Yeah, a commoner" said the pony standing next to Ocean Dust. He had a coat as white as snow, a short violet mane and tail, light purple eyes, and cutie mark of a purple scarf.
"Shut it, Amethyst!" Ocean Dust told his friend known as Amethyst. (In case you don't know an Amethyst is a purple gemstone. And yes Ocean Dust and Amethyst are the male, Canterlot equivalents to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon)
"I could care less how much money your parents have. You're just a stereotypical, spoiled, rich, brat!" Pip proclaimed. This made Ocean Dust mad. He grabbed Pip, and threw him in a nearby trash can.
"Well. That ought to teach him to not call me a spoiled rich brat" Ocean Dust said while dusting off his hooves. Pip was in there for about two minutes yelling for help. Then trash can was bucked over, allowing Pip to fall out.
"Woops! You ok?" said the colt that helped him out.
"Yeah, I'm alright" Pip said as he got up. "Let me guess, you only helped me out because I'm the son of Princess Luna, right?" Pip said, having a feeling that that was the only reason he helped.
"No, I helped because it was the right thing to do" the colt said. "Hi, my name's Solar Ray, but you can just call me Ray" said the colt known as Ray, offering a hoof of friendship. He was a golden-yellow colored unicorn, with an all white colored mane in a style similar to Rainbow Dash's, a white a short white tail that stopped at his knees, and like Pip, he had no cutie mark.
"Hi, Ray, I'm Pipsqueak, but my friends call me Pip" Pip said, shaking his hoof. "Let me guess, your parents are also one of the richest ponies in Canterlot" Pip said.
"Yeah, they are. But don't worry my parents are the ones who are snooty and stuck-up, not me. Personally, I don't care about all of that fancy, snobby stuff. I'd rather live my life as a normal colt like you" he said to Pip. Pip said in relief.
"Phew, that's a relief. I'm glad you're not that type of pony, I can't stand those types of ponies" Pip said.
"Yeah, me neither. Hey, wanna go eat lunch together?" Ray offered.
"Sure" Pip said. They walked over to the red table bench and pulled out their lunch. Pip had what his mother said she packed: Celery sticks with peanut butter on them, applesauce, and grape juice.
"Ugh! My mom packed me a lame mini lunch again" Ray complained
"Mini lunch?" Pip asked while eating his celery.
"Yeah, she packs me the little Hors d'oeuvres like caviar and stuff like that" Ray said.
"That sounds pretty good to me" Pip said.
"Yeah, but it doesn't fill me up, it only does it like, halfway" Ray said. Pip handed him on of his celery sticks to try. Ray took it and ate it. "Thanks. Now that is food. Common food is SO much better than fancy food… no offense" Ray said.
"None taken, glad you like it" Pip replied. He then finished his celery sticks, made quick work of his applesauce, and calmly drank his grape juice. He let out a light belch and excused himself. It was then that their teacher had called the students back in, signaling that recess/lunch was over.
"Well, this was fun" Ray said. Pip agreed. At the end of the day class was dismissed to go home. Pip walked alongside his new friend and told him they should hangout more. "Sure, I'd love to get to know my new friend better" Ray said.
"Cool. Well, see you tomorrow Ray" Pip said, holding his hoof up for a hoof-bump.
"Alright, see ya, Pip" Ray said, bumping Pip's hoof with his own. They then went their separate ways and headed home. Pip grew a smile upon his face and ran towards his home.
-At the castle-
When Pip made it inside the castle, he was greeted by his mother, Princess Luna.
"Hi Pip, how was your day?" Luna asked her adoptive son.
"It was… alright, mom… it was alright" Pip said. Luna sniffed the air. She smelled something bad. She noticed it was Pip.
"Ugh! What have you been doing Pip? Why do you smell like that?" Luna asked with a chuckle while holding her nose with her hoof .
"I didn't do anything. This snobby, stuck up rich kid threw me in the trash can" Pip explained.
"Oh… well then… looks like you need a bath" Luna suggested. Pip nodded in agreement. Luna then grabbed him by the back of his scarf with her teeth and carried him off to the bathroom to give him a bath.
-In the Bathroom-
"So? Did you make any new friends?" Luna asked while washing Pip's mane.
"I made one. His name's Solar Ray, but he prefers to be called Ray. He also doesn't have his cutie mark, like me" Pip said.
"That's nice" she said. She then got the bath brush and began to scrub his back.
"And get this; he's a rich kid, but his parents are the ones who are stuck up and snooty. He just wants to live a normal life, like me" he said, as his mom continued to work on the rest of his body.
"See! I told you that not every foal at school would be stuck up and snobby" she said.
"Yeah, but you were also right about there being stuck up rich kids anyway" Pip mentioned.
"I know, I'm sorry" Luna said while holding his tail and scrubbing his behind.
"It's ok, I sort of saw it coming" Pip said. He then had a bunch of water dumped on him, getting rid of the soap all over his body.
"Ok, it's time to get out" Luna said. She helped him out of the tub and placed him on the ground. Pip shook all the water off of his body. Some got on Luna, but she didn't mind. She was a mother now, so it was something she'd have to get used to. She grabbed the towel and dried the rest of the water off Pip's body and head. They smiled at each other and exited the bathroom.
-In the Hallways-
After Pip's bath, he and Luna were walking down the halls smiling. After a while, Luna finally spoke up.
"So, Pipsqueak, how many friends did you have back in Ponyville?" she asked, walking beside her adoptive foal.
"…Mmm… not that many. Let's see… there was Rumble, Dinky, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle" he said, listing all his friends back in Ponyville. "Why do ask?"
"Well, since you're my son I thought it should be my motherly duty to know who your friends were. That, and the Grand Galloping Gala is coming up in a few months, and thought it'd be fun for you to see all your little friends again" Luna explained.
"Wow! Thanks mom" Pip thanked his mom.
"No worries my little pony. So that's six tickets?" Luna said.
"Six?" Pip asked with confusion.
"You want your new friend to come and be friends with your old friends don't you?" Luna questioned with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Good point. I should invite Ray, I mean he is my friend after all" Pip said.
"That's the spirit. So that's six tickets?" she said.
"Yes" Pip confirmed. Luna used her magic and six tickets appeared in front of her. She then handed them to her son. "Thanks" he said.
"Your welcome. Be sure to remember to give them out to all six of your friends" Luna told him. Pip nodded, which caused Luna to rub his head gently. Unlike her sister's tickets, Luna's tickets were sapphire (in terms of color). Pip put his tickets away and they continued their walk down the hall. During their walk they heard a growl, which Pip noticed was coming from his stomach. He looked down and heard his stomach growl once more.
"Eheh" Pip chuckled nervously, blushing with embarrassment. Luna playfully rolled her eyes while shaking her head. She looked at him with a smile and gestured her head to tell Pip to follow her to the dining room.
-In the Dining Room-
Pip and Luna walked in to the dining room and noticed Celestia sitting at the head of the table drinking her tea. They sat at the table, with Luna sitting beside her sister, and Pip sitting next to his mother.
"Wow Aunt Celestia, you sure do drink a lot of tea" Pip commented. Celestia warmly smiled at him. Luna then clapped her hooves to get a chef's attention.
"Excuse me kind chef" Luna said. "My son would like a snack, if that isn't too much trouble" she said.
"Certainly Princess Luna, I'd be happy to fetch the young Prince a snack" the chef said. Luna nodded. The chef came back moments later with Pip's snack, which was apple fries with cinnamon-caramel dipping sauce.
"So, Pip, how was your day?" Celestia asked her nephew.
"It was alright" Pip told his aunt.
"That's good to hear. See? I told you there was nothing to worry about" Celestia said. She was then about to take a sip of her tea when she accidently released her magical hold on it and dropped it. It was about to fall when it was caught by a midnight blue aura. The cup was then placed back on the table in front of Celestia. "Phew, thanks Luna" Celestia thanked her.
"That wasn't me" Luna said. They gave each other confused glances, and then looked at Pip. Pip simply smiled at them with embarrassment. "Pip… was that you who just did that?" Luna asked.
"…Uh-huh" Pip said nervously with a nod.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Celestia asked.
"From a book called: Magic and Spells for earth ponies" Pip told her "I've only read a few pages of it though. It only took me a few days to learn how to levitate things. It wasn't really that hard" Pip said.
"Amazing. It takes young unicorns weeks, or even months to learn how to use the levitation spell properly depending on how heavy the object is. And you've only learned how to do it in a few days? Very impressive" Celestia said.
"And the funny part is I've only had the book for about a week!" Pip said, a little cocky.
"Hmm, then you must be a fast learner" Luna told him. "I'm very proud of you sweetie" she told him.
"Thanks, mom" Pip replied. Luna and Celestia then looked at each other and smiled. Now that Pip has learned some magic, things around the castle were about to get a lot more… interesting.
And that raps up Chapter 4 of: Luna's Foal. Stay tuned for Chapter 5 when Pip goes to his first Grand Galloping Gala.

5. Chapter 5: The Gala
Hey guys it's me, Sunblast X and welcome to Chapter 5 of: Luna's Foal. In the last chapter Pip had started his first day of school in Canterlot. He had also received tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala from his mother, Princess Luna. Now let's get started with Chapter 5 of: Luna's Foal.
It was morning at Canterlot Castle, and Pip was in the backyard with his mother.
"So why are we here again?" Pip asked his mother.
"Well, I was so impressed by the fact that you learned magic so quickly that I thought we could practice together and show you some new tricks" She explained.
"Huh, that makes sense I guess" he said. "Sow what are we gonna learn?" he asked.
"Teleportation" Luna said with her eyes closed.
"No way!" Pip exclaimed with surprise and shock.
"Yes way" Luna said.
"So how does this work?" he asked her.
"Start by closing your eyes" Luna told him. He did as he was told and closed his eyes. "Now concentrate. Focus all of you magical energy into the place where you want to go" she explained.
"Ok. Focus… concentrate on the place where I want to go…" He said to himself, repeating what his mother just said to him. He focused all of his energy into teleporting. His body flashed a little. Luna looked at his with confidence, thinking he could pull it off. He started sweating from focusing, and when it looked like he was about to teleport, he was suddenly sent flying a little due to the build up of the magical energy stored in his body. Luna flew to his side.
"Pip! Are you alright?" she said worriedly as she knelt in the grass, holding her son in her arms.
"Ugh, yeah, I'm fine. Guess teleportation takes a lot out of ya" Pip said, rubbing his head with his hoof.
"Yeah, it does. I think that's practicing for today" she said, helping Pip up. They then walked backed inside the castle.
-In the castle-
"So, did you give the tickets to your little friends?" Luna asked walking beside her adoptive son.
"I gave Ray his. He said he'd go so we can hangout together, and so he can try those apple pies that he heard they at the last Grand Galloping Gala, which I'm guessing that Applejack was the one who sold those, though I heard she was unsuccessful" Pip explained.
"Yeah, I heard about that too" Luna told him.
"I wasn't able to give the tickets to the others because they live in Ponyville" Pip told his adoptive mother." Plus I have no idea on how to send them the tickets without leaving the castle" he said.
"That can be arranged" Luna said.
-Meanwhile in Ponyvile-
It was morning in Ponyville. Twilight and Spike were having breakfast with the rest of their friends, along with Rumble, Dinky, and the CMC. They were all talking, striking up conversation. All of a sudden Spike belched up a letter.
"What's it say?" Twilight asked.
"It's from Princess Luna" he replied. "It's for Rumble and the others" he said.
"For us?" Scootaloo asked confused with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, it reads…" Spike started.
"Dear Twilight Sparkle,
As you know the Grand Galloping Gala is coming up soon. You also know that I have adopted the one called, Pipsqueak as my son. I know Celestia has already has given you your tickets, but I wanted my son to personally invite all his friends from Ponyville to their very first Grand Galloping Gala! Those ponies being: Dinky, Rumble, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle. Come in your best attire, I'm sure Pip would love to see you all again and vise versa. Hope to see you all there.
Yours truly
-Princess Luna"
"Well, I guess we've got some extra ponies joining us this year" said Twilight. The five foals were given their tickets. They were happy to be going to their first ever Grand Galloping Gala, even Scootaloo was happy about it.
"This is simply smashing. My little sister is going to her first Grand Galloping Gala! Oh I must create the perfect dress for such a special moment like this!" Rarity exclaimed with happiness and joy. "Oh, and Applebloom, and Scootaloo" she said.
"Whoa! Settle down Rarity" Applejack said. "There's no need to go over board. The Gala's only a few months away. We've got plenty of time before then to make dresses an' stuff" she said.
"Your right, I'm sorry. I was getting a bit ahead of myself" Rarity said.
"Besides" Rainbow Dash started. "We all know my little sis is gonna look awesome out there no matter what" She said holding Scootaloo close to her. "Isn't that right Scoots?" he asked her.
"You beat big sis" Scootaloo confirmed.
"She'll look awesome AND cute" Rumble said. Everypony stared at him, which caused him and Scootaloo to look at each other and then face away blushing. There was a moment of silence. "…uhh…so… yeah, I get to see my best friend again" Rumble said, trying to break the silence and change the subject back to the Gala.
"Yeah, we all get to see Pip again. Wonder how the little feller's doin'" said Applejack.
-Back at the Castle-
Pip was walking around, exploring the castle as usual. When he bumped into somepony, It was Blueblood. Blueblood looked down at the young foal with a serious look.
"Listen you little brat. The Grand Galloping Gala is the biggest event of the year. Last year I was humiliated by a rather impulsive mare" he started but Pip cut him off.
"Oh yeah, it was Rarity who did that. Her sister told me all about that. I found that funny" Pip said.
"Well I didn't!" Blueblood said in an annoyed tone. "I was humiliated once by a mare. I won't be humiliated again by a child" he said. Pip gave him a raised eyebrow. "You better not ruin the Gala for me, or else I'll—"he was cut off by Pip spitting into his mouth. "Ugh!" he said in disgust. "Little brat!" he wiped his mouth with his hoof. "Seriously. Don't ruin this for me" he said then walked pass Pip. "Oh! And just because Luna adopted you as her foal, that does not make us cousins" he said then continued to leave.
"Geez, what a snob" Pip said as he continued to walk. "Wonder what Aunt Celestia's up to. We don't really spend that much time together" he said to himself.
-The throne room-
Celestia was just sitting there on her throne, doing nothing, when she saw Pip walk through the door.
"Ah Pip! To what business do I owe you my dear nephew?" she asked him.
"Nothing, I was just hoping we could get to know each other" Pip said.
"Sorry, I have royal duties I have to attend to. Maybe next time, ok?" she said with a warm smile. Pip nodded and headed back out. It was then that he was once again met by his mother.
"Tried to bond with you Aunt?" she asked. He nodded. "She said she was busy, didn't she?" she asked, knowing the answer. He nodded again. "Don't worry sweetie. There'll be a day when she has time. I'm sure of it" she said, pulling her son close to her. "And you're still going to see you friends at the Gala, so that'll be fun" Luna said.
"Yeah, too bad it's three months away" Pip said. "But I wonder… what it'll be like?" he asked.
-3 months later-
It was the night of the Gala, about an hour before it began. Luna had decorated the night beautifully for big event. She was now in Pip's room, helping him get ready for the big night.
"Tonight's the night Pip. You ready for your first Grand Galloping Gala ever?" Luna asked while combing his mane.
"Yeah, can't wait to see all my friends again. But is the suit really necessary?" he asked. He was wearing a black tuxedo that covered his torso.
"You want to look nice for you friends don't you" Luna asked. Pip nodded. "Well then you have to wear the suit" she said. She fixed his suit and collar to make sure he looked nice. She then sprayed some cologne one his chest and neck to make him smell nice as well. Then smell of the cologne caused Pip to sneeze a little. Luna chuckled, finding his little sneeze adorable. She then kissed his forehead for good luck. "Ready?" she asked.
"Actually, I'm a bit nervous" he said.
"Nervous because this is your first Gala and you're seeing you Ponyville friends for the first time in months?" She asked.
"That, and… one of the girls who's my friend, is also the girl… that I have a crush on" Pip looked down and blushed with embarrassment. Luna looked at him, and then understood with a smile. She placed a hoof under his chin to look at him.
"Pip, there's no need to worry. Just be yourself, that's all a girl wants" she said while nuzzling his face with hers. Pip sighed in relief.
"Thanks mom" he said.
"Ready now?" she asked. He nodded and followed his mother to the main event.
-The Gala itself-
Luna was at the top of the stairs with Pip and her sister. At that moment she saw Twilight, her friends, and Pip's friends as well.
"Pip, look!" she whispered, pointing to the group of ponies. He looked at her. "Go on. Spend time with your friends" she encouraged him. He did as he was told and ran towards his friends, running past everypony else. He then reached his old friends with a smile.
"Hey guys! What's up?!" he said with joy.
"Pip! Dude, long time, no see" Rumble said. They high hoofed.
"I know. it's been a while" Pip said.
"Pip darling, you look positively smashing" Rarity complimented him.
"Thanks" he replied.
"So how does it feel to Princess Luna's son?" Twilight asked.
"It feels great. Amazing actually" Pip said. He then felt a hoof tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see his friend Ray wearing a light blue tux. "Ray! You made it" he said.
"Of course I did. I wouldn't miss hanging out with my friend" Ray said.
"Guys, this is my friend Solar Ray" Pip introduced him. The all greeted him.
"You can just call me Ray" he said. Ray then noticed Applebloom wearing a light green and orange dress. His eyes widened and his pupils grew big as he stared at her with awe. He approached her. "Well hello, and who might this lovely filly be?" he said to her. Applebloom smiled nervously and blushed, looking away with embarrassment.
"I'm Applebloom" she said half shyly.
"Applebloom, what a beautiful name" he said.
"T-Thank you" she said, now blushing even redder. "This guy. He polite… and kinda cute" she said to herself in her head.
"So, which one is the one with the apple dessert?" Ray asked Pip.
"That'd be me partner" Applejack said, motioning to herself. "What kinda dessert you want? I've got apple pies, apple fritters, apple turnovers, apple tart, apple juice, apple cider, and apple brown betty" she listed of her foods in a quick fashion.
"Uh… I'll take an apple pie and an apple turnover, and a cup of apple cider" he said.
"Well in that case, come with me" she told him. He followed her to her booth. Applebloom tagged along as well.
"I'm gonna go talk with Princess Celestia" Twilight said, walking past Pip.
"I'm going to talk to fancy pants" Rarity said.
"I'm gonna go PARTY!" Pinkie said.
"I want to see my animal friends and apologize for last year" said Fluttershy.
"…well we all know where I'm going" Rainbow said then flew to talk to the wonderbolts, leaving only Pip, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Rumble.
"Uh… so where's Dinky?" Pip asked.
"She couldn't make it. She said she had to do something with Derpy" Scootaloo told him. Pip shrugged. "Hey Rumble, wanna go play some pranks on the other ponies?" Scootaloo asked him.
"Sure, sounds fun" he said, which caused Scootaloo to smile. They left to go prank ponies, leaving Pip alone with Sweetie Belle. There was a moment of silence. They didn't know what to say to each other. Pip decided to break the silence by speaking up.
"So… how's getting your cutie mark going?" he asked her.
"Still a blank flank" she said half nervously.
"Don't worry. You three will get yours someday" he said.
"Thanks" she said. "…I see you've gotten taller since the last time we saw you" she said. It was true; Pip had grown a little taller since Luna adopted him. Not by much, but a little.
"Yeah" he said. "Looks like it's just the two of us… wanna hangout?" he asked.
"Sure" she replied. They exited the doors to spend the night together.
-With Ray and Applebloom-
He was eating an apple fritter.
"Oh man this is good" he said, and then took another bite. "So much better than that fancy stuff" he said, enjoying his fritter.
"Glad ya like it partner" Applejack said. Applebloom looked away and shyly rubbed her left leg with her right hoof.
"Come on Applebloom, stop being chicken and talk to him" she said to herself in her head. "So… uh… Ray, you're a friend of Pip's?" she asked him. He swallowed the rest of the fritter.
"Yeah, we go to the same school. I helped him out on his first day and we've been friends ever since" he said.
"Well that's mighty nice a' ya" she said.
"Thanks" he said. "…You wanna… dance?" he asked shyly, offering a hoof to dance. Applebloom's eyes widened at what he asked. She was blushing and her heart was racing. It took her a while to reply.
"Uhh… I'm not that good of a dancer" she said a little nervously.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you. Come on, it'll be fun" he said.
"Umm… ok" she accepted. She grabbed his hoof and headed inside to the dance floor.
"Have fun you two lovebirds!" Applejack shouted.
"APPLEJACK!" Applebloom shouted back in an embarrassed tone. Applejack laughed at her sister's embarrassment.
-With Rumble and Scootaloo-
Rumble and Scootaloo were on the rooftops with a bucket of water balloons.
"Ok, ready?" Scootaloo asked him. He nodded with a smile. They saw a couple about to walk in and pelted them with water balloons.
"You rotten kids!" the guy pony shouted. The two pegasus kids laughed and then high-hoofed.
"That was awesome!" Scootaloo exclaimed. Rumble caught his breath.
"Yeah, it was. Ya know you're a really fun girl to hangout with, Scootaloo" he said. Scootaloo looked at him and blushed.
"R-Really?" she asked shyly.
"Mm-hm" he nodded. "You're really cool" he said. Scootaloo turned her head away with a blush and a smile.
"He thinks I'm cool!" she said to herself in a squeaky girly voice in her head. She turned her head back to Rumble. He was looking down at all the ponies outside. Scootaloo leaned in, closed her eyes, and planted a kiss on his cheek. This caught him of guard and he looked at her with shock.
"What was that for?" he asked, wondering why she kissed him.
"For being an awesome friend" she said while nuzzling his neck. He took a while before nuzzling her back, nuzzling the top of her head. They were enjoying their little moment.
-With Pip and Sweetie Belle-
"It's such a beautiful night Pip" Sweetie Belle said.
"Sure is. Mom really out did herself this time" Pip said
"You must love having you're favorite princess as your mother, don't you?" she asked.
"I sure do" Pip said. "Although she says I'm not an actual prince until I have my coronation" he said.
"Don't worry about it too much, Pip, that's a long time from now" she said. Pip smiled and nodded.
"Ah, Prince Pip, there you are" a voice said from behind. Pip and Sweetie Belle turned around to see it was a trio of earth ponies. One was gray, one was white, and one was blue.
"We know you used to be from Ponyville, but then you were adopted by Princess Luna which makes you royalty. So how would you like to spend the night with us? Instead of this no special filly" the one in the middle said. Pip got mad and said something.
"She is not a no special filly" he pointed to Sweetie Belle, standing up for her. "She's one of my closest friends, and she kind and beautiful. You're the one's aren't special you jerks!" he said.
"Why I never" the middle one said. He stuck his nose in the air and walked away with his friends said.
"Thanks Pip" Sweetie Belle said. She then kissed him on the cheek. He blushed.
"Y-Yeah, what are friends for?" he said nervously while blushing. They headed to the top of the hill to look at the full moon.
-Back with Ray and Applebloom-
Ray and Applebloom were on the dance floor slow dancing, doing the waltz. Applebloom was struggling though, she almost fell a couple of times.
"I'm sorry, I told you I'm not that good of a dancer" Applebloom said.
"It's fine. Don't worry, you're doing just fine" Ray said. He spun her around, and then dipped her. They stared into each other's eyes. Applebloom was blushing while staring at him.
"What strange feeling in mah chest? It feels… warm and… fast" Applebloom thought to herself. She didn't know why, but for some reason she leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek. This caused him to look at her in surprise. She looked away with blush and a smirk. She looked back at him and nuzzled him as he held her in his arms in an embrace.
-Back with Pip and Sweetie Belle-
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yeah, but as beautiful as you" Pip replied. Sweetie Belle looked at him, token back by what he had just said.
"Wh-What did you just say?" she asked, her cheeks now blushing red.
"I said… you're beautiful" he said. There was a moment of silence. Sweetie Belle broke the silence by hugging him, holding him close to her chest.
"Yes!" Pip said mentally, happy at what he accomplished.
-Later that night, at the end of the Gala-
Twilight and her friends were the last ones at the Gala. Unlike last year, this year they actually accomplished their goals. Twilight got to talk with the princess, Rarity got stuff that involved royalty, Rainbow Dash got to hangout with the wonderbolts, Applejack made a killing with her sales, Fluttershy spent time with all the animals, and Pinkie Pie got to party like there was no tomorrow. Even Pip accomplished his goal of the night, which was to impress the girl of his dreams.
"So little sis, how was yer first Grand Galloping Gala?" Applejack asked her sister.
"It was… fun" she said, which made Applejack smile. Twilight was talking with her mentor about the Gala.
"Tonight was a lovely evening Princess" she said.
"Agreed. It was nice seeing you again Twilight and the rest of your friends as well. I hope the next Gala will be twice as excellent" Celestia said. Twilight nodded and walked toward her friends as they began to leave.
"So what did you do tonight Scoots?" Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo. Scootaloo looked at Rumble who was right beside her, and then back to Rainbow Dash.
"Nothing much, just… played some pranks on some ponies with Rumble. That's all" she said, leaving out the fact that she kissed him on the cheek.
"Awesome! That's my little sister" Rainbow said, even though they weren't technically related.
"It's a good thing you had fun little sis. You must've had loads of fun making out with Ray" Applejack teased her little sister by making kissing noises.
"APPLEJACK!" Applebloom shouted with embarrassment. Applejack and the others laughed at her reaction. Ray had already left. All that was left was Luna and her sister. Pip teleported beside his mother in a blue flash of light. He had gotten better at the teleportation spell in the last few months.
"There you are my little Pipsqueak" Luna said. "Did you have fun?" she asked her son.
"Sure did" he replied.
"Happy that you impressed Sweetie Belle?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"How did you-?" he was about to ask.
"I'm your mother, I know everything" she said. "Plus she was the only pony I saw you spend time with" she said.
"Yeah, she's amazing" he said. He let out a yawn.
"Seems somepony's tired" she said. All Pip could do was nod in a sleepy way. "You must be after staying up so late" Luna said. She used her magic to pick him up and place him on her back. He fell asleep as she carried him to bed. Luna made it to Pip's room and tucked him in. he snuggled under the blankets. Luna planted a kiss on his head. "Goodnight my sweet prince" she said as he stroked his mane. She left his room and shut the door, leaving him to sleep peacefully to a beautiful night.
And there you have it Chapter 5. Stay tuned for chapter 6 for a special day. Again, sorry for being gone for so long, I don't have internet at my house so I'm using my friend's computer at his house.

6. Chapter 6: Pip's Birthday
Hey guys it's me, Sunblast X and welcome to Chapter 6 of: Luna's Foal. In the last chapter Pip and his friends went to their first ever Grand Galloping Gala. Pip, Rumble, and Ray were kissed by their dream girls, ending in a night of happiness. Now let's get started on Chapter 6: Pip's Birthday. By the way I have another MLP story called: Shadow Storm Adventures and I would appreciate it if you all read that story too because I could use the reviews and support.
It was bright new day at Canterlot castle. It had been a month since the Gala happened. Pip slowly opened his eyes and smiled, for today was a special day. It was his birthday.
"It's my birthday!" he exclaimed with happiness. He jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to do his business and get himself ready for the day. When he was done he headed to the dining room to get some breakfast.
-In the dining room-
Pip walked into the dining room where his mother was sitting, eating breakfast. He sat next to her with a smile.
"Morning mom" he greeted her.
"Good morning sweetie" she greeted back then continued eating her breakfast.
"…Know what today is?" he asked, hoping she'd remember what today was. She tapped her chin with her hoof in thought.
"Hmm… Tuesday?" she asked.
"Yes, but do you know what happens today?" he asked.
"No" she said. Pip gave her a shocked look.
"You mean… you don't know what I'm talking about?" he asked in disbelief.
"Not a clue" she said with a shrug. "I'm sorry honey, I have no idea what special thing you're talking about today" she placed a hoof on his shoulder.
"Oh… ok" he said in a fake accepting tone. He then smelled something. "Hey, do you smell… cake?" he asked. Luna's eyes widened.
"Uh, Pip, why don't you, uh… go practice you're magic in the garden" she said, quickly trying to change the subject while sliding him out of the dining room.
"But-"
"Sorry Pip, you need to practice you're magic. Here's a granola bar. Have fun out there, bye-bye" she said in fast pace voice, handing him his breakfast, and shutting the door to the dining room. Pip held his head down in a confused face. "Phew, that was close" Luna said wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Don't want Pip to find out about his birthday cake. It would ruin the surprise" she said to herself. "So chef, how's the cake coming?" she asked the chef who was baking her child's cake.
"So far so good, Princess" he told her.
"Is it the kind I requested?" she asked.
"Yep. A chocolate cake with fudge frosting and white icing" he said, remembering her request. "By the way, how did you know what kind of cake your son wanted?" he asked.
"I'm his mother. I have my ways" she said with a smile.
[Flashback]
Pip was asleep in his bed at night. Suddenly his door cracked open. It was Luna and she had a smile on her face.
"Tomorrow is my baby's first birthday with me as his mother. I should see what he wants" Luna said in her mind as her horn glowed to read Pip's mind.
"Tomorrow's my birthday" Pip said in his mind. "All I want is a huge party with all my friends and a huge chocolate cake with fudge frosting and white icing" he added. "But most of all, I wish to spend my birthday with my beautiful mother, Princess Luna" he said.
"Awww… what a sweet little foal I have" she said as her heart melted with love for her son. She then magically closed his door, letting him sleep in peace.
[End of Flashback]
"So yes, I know what my son wants" she said with closed eyes and a smile.
"Alright, you're his mother" the chef said. The cake was still baking in the oven.
-In the garden-
Pipsqueak was practicing his magic. He had mastered levitation, teleportation, and he just mastered the forced field spell awhile back. Now he was practicing firing magic beams by shooting them at targets.
"I can't believe it" he said, hitting the bull's-eye. "My own mom forgot my birthday" he said, shooting three more targets in the center. He sat down, looked up, saw a bird flying, and shot it down with his magic. He sighed. "…I can't blame her. She is still kind of new to this whole motherly thing" he said, knowing it wasn't entirely her fault. He then heard hoofsteps on the grass. He turned around to see it was his friends Rumble and Ray. He smiled. "Guys? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Just here to spend time with our best friend" Rumble said.
"Yeah, we're the three amigos" Ray said, making a joke.
"Please don't call us that again" Rumble and Pip said in unison.
"Sorry" he said.
"So anyway, do you guys know what today is?" he asked with a smile, hoping his best friends in all of Equestria would know.
"Uh, no, sorry Pip" Ray said.
"…Oh" he said with lowered ears. He then perked up, for he had an idea. "Hey guys, wanna hangout at the park?" he asked.
"Sure" they both said in unison.
"Alright then, let's go" Pip said then began walking. Rumble and Ray stood there looking at each other.
"So why can't we tell Pip Happy Birthday again?" Ray asked.
"Because Princess Luna wants us to keep it a surprise" he said.
"Oh yeah" Ray said, remembering what Luna told them. They then caught up with Pip and headed to the park.
-Canterlot Park-
The boys were at Canterlot Park swinging on swings.
"So what have you been up to guys?" Pip asked them.
"I've been practicing light magic" Ray said.
"Awesome" Pip said.
"And I've been practicing tricks with my big brother" Rumble said.
"Impressive. So how's your girlfriend Scootaloo doing?" he asked in a teasing tone.
"She's fine… and she's not my girlfriend" Rumble said. Pip chuckled.
"I know I'm just messing with you" Pip said.
"By the way Rumble, you know Applebloom, right?" Ray asked him.
"Yeah, I know her, why?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"'Cause I think she's *gulp*… kind of cute" he said, blushing with embarrassment. There was a moment of silence between the three boys.
"Wow, that's… bold of you to say" Pip said, not really knowing how to respond to that.
"Go ahead and laugh. I like her, big whoop" Ray said.
"Actually Ray, you shouldn't be embarrassed. To tell you the truth I actually like one of her friends—"
"Sweetie Belle" Rumble and Ray said in unison, cutting Pip off. His eyes widened.
"How did you—"
"You two make a cute couple, dude, that's how" Rumble said. They then burst into laughter.
-Meanwhile with Princess Luna-
Luna was in the ball room, checking on how the party would be set up. She heard hoofsteps. She turned around and saw that it was none other than her sister, Princess Celestia.
"Hello little sister. Checking on Pipsqueak's party are we?" she asked her.
"Yes" she said with a nod. "I hope he enjoys it. He deserves this after being on the streets for so many years" she said
"He sure does" Celestia said.
"So where are the girls? Have they shown up yet?" Luna asked.
"Right here, Princess" Twilight said, the other girls walking behind her. The CMC were there as well.
"Good, this is most excellent" Luna said with a smile. "Pinkie Pie, are you ready to put the decorations?" she asked Pinkie Pie.
"Sure am. Which is why I brought my party cannon" she said, pulling her giant party cannon out of her mane. Everypony stood back as she put herself into the cannon and shot herself out of it while also decorating the entire ball room at once with festive party stuff.
"Wow, I'm impressed Pinkie" Luna said.
"It's what I do best. My little pal is going to love this" she said.
"And what's a party without a beautiful centerpiece?" Rarity said as she turned the block of ice on table into an ice statue of Pip. Luna smiled.
"I brought other treats" Applejack said, pulling out a cart full of apple treats. Luna chuckled at this.
"I think Solar Ray will like that more than Pip. But thank you Applejack" Luna said. Applejack tipped her hat to her.
"And we all got him presents" Twilight said.
"With mine being the most awesome" Rainbow said while floating in the air.
"Is it a picture of you?" Luna gave her a deadpan look.
"No… it's me doing a sonic rainboom" she said. Luna gave her an impressed look.
"A nightly sonic rainboom? That is impressive" Luna said. Rainbow smirked.
"What about you Princess Luna? What did you get him?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh let's just say it'll make him very happy during rest of his childhood" Luna said, not giving any hints as to what her son's present was. "What about you three? What did you get him?" Luna asked the CMC.
"The satisfaction of his friends seeing him again" Scootaloo said.
"Yep" Applebloom added. Luna gave them unsure glares, but accepted it.
"Well unlike these two, I actually have a gift for Pip" Sweetie Belle said.
"What is it?" Luna asked.
"You'll see" she said playfully.
-At sunset with the boys-
It was sunset and was almost night time. Ray and Rumble saw this and told Pip they'd see him later. Pip then began walking home.
"Well I'm still a little bummed out that no one remembered my birthday, but at least I got a chance to hang out with my friends" he said while walking.
-At the castle-
When Pip got home it was already night time. He walked in and noticed that all of the lights were out.
"Huh, that's weird… everything's so dark. It's too early for everypony to be in bed" he said. "What's going on here?" he asked in his mind. He then bumped into somepony, and when he looked up he saw his mother. "Mom?" he raised an eyebrow. All she did was smile.
"Come with me sweetie, I want to show you something" she told him. He followed her for a few minutes until they reached their destination. "Here we are. Ready?" she asked. He nodded. She opened the doors and the whole room was dark.
"Why's it so dark?" Pip asked. Suddenly the lights came on.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PIPSQUEAK!" everypony shouted. He was overjoyed.
"Whoa! This is amazing!" he said. He turned to Luna. "So you did remember my birthday" he said.
"Of course I did, Pip. I would never forget my little foal's first birthday with his mother" she said while hugging him. They pulled away and Pip looked at all his friends.
"You guys came" he said.
"Of course we did" Ray said.
"We'd never leave our friend hanging" Rumble said.
"Now it's time for your cake, Pip" Luna said. She whistled and the cake came in. Pip's eyes widened in awe.
"A chocolate fudge cake? How did you know?" Pip asked.
"Your mother has her ways" she said with closed eyes and a smile. Pip hugged her again. "So Pip, how old are you today?" Luna asked him.
"I'm 7" he said with a proud look.
"And yet, you're still so cute" she said.
"Mom!" he said with embarrassment. Everypony laughed and it was time to eat cake Moments later after eating cake; it was time to open presents."Oh wow, another magic book!" Pip said with joy.
"Your mom told me you were practicing magic, so I thought you could use this after you're done with the one you have" Twilight said. Pip thanked and hugged her. He opened the next present from Applejack.
"Sweet! A cowboy hat" he said, putting it on.
"Glad you like it partner, consider yourself an honorary member of the apple family" she said. He opened his presents from the other three girls and thanked them. Now it was Sweetie Belle's turn. She gave him a loving look. Pip gave her a confused look until she pulled him in and kissed him on the cheek. This lasted for about ten seconds before she pulled away. Everypony was shocked, especially Pip.
"Consider that your present from me" she said as she walked away. Pip shook his head and was back to normal.
"Now it's my turn kid" Rainbow said. She flew outside and did a sonic rainboom. It combined with the night sky made it even more beautiful.
"Woah! Thanks rainbow" He said as he hugged her. It was now his mother's turn.
"Here's my present, sweetie. I know it'll make you happy" she said. He opened it and saw it was…
"A puppy!" he said with utter joy.
"Not just any puppy Pip, a wolf puppy, and not just any wolf puppy, it's a shadow wolf puppy" she said. The wolf pup was black with a white underbelly and glowing white eyes. It licked Pip's face.
"Thanks mom" he said hugging her for the third time tonight.
"I know you'll take good care of it" she said.
"So what are you gonna name it?" Celestia asked her nephew.
"Um… Fang" he said. The newly named Fang licked his owner's face.
"I'm glad you gave him a name. Because now I can give him this" Celestia levitated a spiked dog collar with Fang's name on it and put it around the wolf's neck.
"Thanks, Aunt Celestia" Pip thanked her. She gave him a warm smile. Meanwhile, Solar Ray was talking to Applebloom.
"So, Applebloom, how have you been lately?" He asked her.
"I've been doing fine" she said. "I had my cousin visit me a while ago" she said.
"How'd that turn out?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Well, at first she was kind of a bully, but then my friends and I found out she was only bullying us because she was being bullied back in Manehattan… ironic, isn't it?" she said.
"Very ironic" he agreed. "So how's-" he was cut off by Applebloom nuzzling his chest.
"…I've missed you" She continued to nuzzle his chest. He nuzzled her back. Applejack and Twilight saw this with a smile.
"Aww, ain't that cute? My little sister's in love" Applejack said with a smile.
"Yeah, they make such a cute couple" Twilight said, also smiling.
"I was wondering when they'd finally get together" Applejack said.
"So Rumble, wanna fly together?" Scootaloo asked.
"Sure" he agreed. They took flight and flew out the window into the night sky. Rainbow Dash went with them to make sure they didn't do anything stupid (Yes, in this story Scootaloo can fly).
-Hours later after the party-
The party had ended and Luna was walking Pip to his room.
"So Pip, did you enjoy your birthday?" Luna asked her son.
"Yeah, it was fun. I'm glad that I got to see my friends again… and that I got a new pet" he said with smile.
"And that you got a kiss from Sweetie Belle" she said.
"Mom!" he said with embarrassment while blushing. Luna chuckled at this.
"I'm just messing with you, sweetheart" she said, rubbing the top of his head. They made it to Pip's room and Luna put him under the covers. "Before you go to bed, there's something else that I want to give you…" she said. She used her magic to make a scarf (neckerchief) appear. It was midnight blue and it had a white crescent moon on it.
"A new scarf…?" he said, holding it in his hooves.
"Yes, it symbolizes that you are my son and the prince of the night" she told him.
"Thanks mom" he said, hugging her again.
"You're welcome, Pipsqueak" she said, hugging him back. "Now get some rest, I'll see you in the morning" she said, tucking him in and kissing his forehead. She was about to walk out when Pip said something.
"Hey mom?" he asked.
"Yes?" she asked back.
"Remember before you adopted me and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon beat me up? What did you give them as a punishment?" he asked.
"Well, I banished them to the everfree forest for a week with them covered in dead meat and had them hunted down by timberwolves, where they would hopefully rip their flesh off, in hopes that they learned their lesson" she said with a smile. Pip gave his mother a shocked look.
"…R-Really?" he stuttered. She nodded slowly. "And Amethyst and Ocean Dust?" he asked.
"Same thing, except with the Canterlot forest and a hydra" she said. At this point Pip practically wet the bed. Luna saw this and giggled. "Oh Pip" she said with a giggle. She used her magic to teleport the sheets, bed, and covers away and replaced them with new ones.
"Ok, that explanation scared me… and not in a fun way" he said.
"You asked" she said. "But that's why Fang is here, to keep you company" she said as the wolf pup came in and jumped into Pip's bed, curling up into a ball beneath his hooves. Luna and Pip both smiled.
"Good night, mom" he said.
"Good night, Pipsqueak" she said and turned out the lights, leaving Pip to fall asleep with his pet.
-In the hallways-
Luna closed the door to Pip's room. She turned around and saw her sister standing there with a smile.
"So where did you find a shadow wolf puppy?" Celestia asked.
"The Everfree forest" she replied. "I saw it there and it was all alone. It reminded me of Pip, so I decided I should make it his pet" she told her sister. "Don't worry, I used a spell to make it house broken. All Pipsqueak has to do is take care of it" she said.
"That's good" Celestia said. "Hopefully Pip will know how to take care of it" she said.
"Knowing my son, he will" Luna said, having confidence that her son has what it takes to care of a pet. The two sisters smiled warmly at each other and headed off to their own rooms for a good night's rest.

7. Chapter 7: Mother's Day
Hey guys, it's me Sunblast X and welcome to Chapter 7 of: Luna's Foal. As usual I haven't been able to upload an chapters because I don't have internet at my house, so I can only update when I'm at a computer with internet. That aside though, let's start chapter 7 shall we?
It was morning at Canterlot castle and Pip had just eaten breakfast.
"Bye mom, I'm going to the park with Ray!" Pip shouted as he was about to exit the breakfast room.
"Wait a second" She said as she walked up to him, stopping him. He turned around. "What about my goodbye kiss?" she asked with a smile. She bent down and turned her head to the right. Pip smiled and lovingly kissed his mother's cheek. Luna gave a kiss back, on his cheek as well. "Go on sweetie, have fun with you're little friend" she said as she rubbed the top of his head. He then ran outside and headed to the park.
-Canterlot park-
Pip and Solar Ray were at the park swinging on the swings. Well, Pip was on the swings. Ray was busy picking flowers.
"Ray, why are you picking flowers?" Pip asked him.
"I'm picking roses and making a card for my mom" he said.
"That's nice of you" Pip said. "What's the occasion?" he asked.
"It's mother's day!" he said with a smile. Pip had a confused look on his face.
"Mother's day…?" Pip asked with a raised eyebrow and confusion, not knowing what this day was.
"You know, the day where you thank your mom for all she's done for you" Ray said. Pip was still confused. It was then that remembered that little detail about his friend. "Oh…. That's right… you were an orphan most of your life…" he said awkwardly. "Well, anyway, mother's day is the day where you celebrate all the things your mom has done for you. It's a day where you get to show her how much you really love her" he explained.
"Really? Hm. Maybe I should do something to show my mom how much I love her" Pip said. "But what do you get a mom who not only adopted you, but is also a princess?" He asked himself, placing his hoof on his chin with a thinking expression.
-Meanwhile at Canterlot castle-
"Mother's day?" Luna asked her sister with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, it's a day where children celebrate their love for their mothers" Celestia explained. "And since you have a child of your own now, you can celebrate it this year and onward" she said, and then took a sip of her tea.
"That sounds nice. Unfortunately I won't be here today to celebrate it with my child, for I have to attend to in the Crystal Empire" Luna said, and then walked away. "Who knows? Maybe my son will have something waiting for me when I get back" she said and continued walking. She then hopped into her hardcore chariot pulled by night guards and headed to the Crystal Empire. It was at this second that Pipsqueak came in.
"Hey Aunt Celestia" he greeted his aunt.
"Hello dear nephew" she greeted back with a smile.
"Where's my mom?" he asked.
"You just missed her, she already headed out into the Crystal Empire" she told him. Pip had a disappointed look on his face. Celestia saw this. "What's wrong, Pipsqueak?" she asked her nephew.
"Well, I just found out today's mother's day and I…" he trailed off.
"You wanted to do something nice for your mom" Celestia said, finishing his sentence. He slowly nodded. "Oh Pip, that is so sweet of you" she said in a sweet voice, hugging her nephew and nuzzling his face with hers. It was then that Pip got an idea.
"I know! I'll make her a card" he said. He then ran to his room to start working on his mother's day card for him mom.
-Pip's room-
Pip burst into his room with an enthusiastic look on his face. He was greeted by his dog licking his face.
"Hey Fang" he said, petting his dogs head. "I'm going to make a card for mom for mother's day" he told his dog. He opened the drawer of his nightstand and took out a piece of dark blue construction paper. He folded it in half and cut it into a certain shape. When he unfolded it, it was in the shape of a heart. He then took out a bottle of glue and some blue glitter. He spread the glue along the borders of the heart shape paper. Once that was done, poured glitter where the glue was and it made the card nice and sparkly. "Ok, that's done. Now to add a message to make this even more special" he said. He took out several different colored pencils. With them, he wrote a message and drew a picture. "Perfect!" he said looking at his hoofmade card. He then set it down for the glue to dry. It was then that another idea came to his mind. "But why stop there? I could do more stuff to show my mom how much I love her" he said with a light smile. He then ran out of his room.
-The kitchen-
Pip had been walking through the castle until had arrived at the kitchen. He entered and walked up to the head chef.
"Um, hello chef" Pip greeted him.
"Oh, hello Prince Pip. What can I do for you today?" he asked Pip.
"Today's mother's day and I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me bake a cake for my mom, Princess Luna" he asked.
"That's awfully kind of you. What kind of cake would you like to bake for your mother?" the head chef asked. Pip put his hoof to his chin and thought for a moment. What kind of a cake would his mother like? A mother as special as her deserved a special cake. But what kind? Pip then got an idea of what kind of cake to make his mom.
"I know! A chocolate cake with blue frosting, white star shaped icing, and a message written in black icing saying 'Happy Mother's Day!'" he told him.
"Very creative, and you used her favorite colors too" the chef said. "Come back in an hour or so, the cake should be ready by then" he said.
"Ok, thanks" Pip said, and then walked out the kitchen so the chefs could bake the cake.
-The halls-
After Pip was done asking the chefs to bake his mom's cake, he was walking through the halls of the castle, a confident smile across his face. This wouldn't last long because he then bumped into Blueblood.
"…Hey cousin Blueblood" Pip greeted his cousin, even though he was a pompous jerk.
"Hello, runt" he greeted back, but with an insult.
"That's Pipsqueak!" Pip shot back.
"Whatever…" Blueblood said, not caring. "So, what are you up to? As if it's important" Blueblood said harshly.
"I'm making a special mother's day surprise for my mom" Pip said with a smile.
"Your mother? You mean that horrible aunt of mine, Princess Luna?" he asked rhetorically with a raised eyebrow. "Hmph. That mare isn't even good aunt, let alone a good mother. She doesn't deserve anything special" he said. Pip gave him an irritated glare.
"Hey Blueblood, want to see a new spell that I've learned?" Pip asked. Pip then lit his right hoof up with magic and stomped it on the ground. This then caused a mystical hoof to come up from under Blueblood and hit him in the family jewels. Blueblood held his private region in pain. "No one talks about my mother that way, you pompous jerk!" Pip said to him with an angry tone and expression, and then walked away with his head held high and his eyes closed. You can talk bad about Pip all you wanted, but no one talks bad about his mother and gets away with it… no one, not even Blueblood. After taking care of Blueblood, Pip was going to see if his card was done drying. But not before running into his aunt.
"Hello again dear nephew" she greeted him. "So, how's the special day for your mother going?" she asked, curious as to how things were going.
"So far so good" he said with a smile.
"Is everything alright? I heard yelling awhile ago" she said with a worried look.
"Yeah, Blueblood was talking bad about my mom. Don't worry I took care of it" he told her.
"What did you do…?" she asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"I used my magic to hit him in the in the family jewels" he said.
"Well, I don't approve of you being violent towards others… even if it is Blueblood" she said. "I mean, Luna might approve since she probably despises Blueblood more than any of us. But not me, understand?" she asked as she held her nephew's chin up with her hoof.
"Yes Aunt Celestia" he said.
"Good" she said. "Now go on and continue making your mother a special day" she said, rubbing his head. He nodded and headed to his room.
-Pip's room-
Pip was now in his room and when he checked on the card that he made, it was dry.
"Yes! Now I'll a card and a cake to give to mom for mother's day" Pip said with a sly smile. "But to make this to make this day special for my mom, I'll need to give her something else that she likes… but what?" he asked himself. He then remembered something that she liked. "Black roses!" he said, knowing what else to get her. He then headed out of his room and went to the flower store.
-Canterlot flower store-
Pip had made it to the flower store.
"Excuse me" he said to the flower mare that was behind the counter, getting her attention.
"Oh, hello, how may I help you?" she asked him.
"I would like to buy a bouquet of black roses for my mom" he told her. The mare then quickly got a bouquet of black roses for Pip.
"That'll be ten bits" she said. Pip reached into his saddlebag to get the correct amount of bits. "So who's your mom? Do I know her?" she asked.
"You should. Believe it or not, my mom is the princess of the night, Princess Luna" he said.
"Princess… Luna?" she said with nervousness. Like others in Canterlot, she was intimidated by Princess Luna. "Uh, you know what? You can just have those, no charge" she said.
"Really?" Pip asked.
"Yeah, the son of Princess Luna gets flowers for free. Especially since its mother's day" the mare said.
"Wow, thanks" he said, and then headed back to the castle.
-Canterlot castle-
"This is great! I made my mom a card, I'm baking a cake for her, I got her flowers, and along the way I bought her a box of chocolates" Pip said as he walked into Canterlot castle. "This is going to be best mother's day EVER! Nothing could possibly go wrong!" he said with a smile. He then went to his room and set his stuff down. He set the flowers on the bed, and the box of chocolate on his table. He then left. What he didn't realize was that he left the chocolates in the sun. Pip was then walking through the hallways.
"Prince Pip! Prince Pip!" someone shouted from behind him. He turned around to see it was the head chef.
"Chef? What's wrong?" he asked with a concerned look.
"It's the cake…" the chef said.
"What happened?" Pip asked.
"It's… burnt" he said. Pip's had a shocked and disappointed look on his face. "I'm sorry Prince Pip" the chef said with an apologetic look. Pip gave a light smile.
"It's ok, I've still got the other gifts I have for my mom" he said. Pip then went back to his room. However, when he did, he saw that the chocolates had melted all over his desk. "Oh no!" he said with worry. "No! No! No! No! No!" he said, holding the chocolates in disappointment. He sighed and threw the chocolates in the trash. "Well, at least I've still got the flowers" he said. He then grabbed the flowers in his mouth and put the card in his saddlebag. He then walked out of his room. "I may have lost the cake and the chocolates, but it can still be a good mother's day with the flowers and my card" he said, holding the flowers in his right hoof. He then went to the kitchen to go get a snack.
-The kitchen-
Pip walked into the kitchen and saw Celestia at the table.
"What are those, Pipsqueak?" his aunt asked him, noticing the flowers in his hoof.
"Flowers for my mom" he told her.
"Aww, Luna loves black roses" she said, thinking it was sweet that her nephew got his mother her favorite kind of flowers. Pip then set the flowers on the counter, used his magic to open the cabinet above him and used levitation to grab a granola bar. He was going to grab his flowers, but when he looked at them the pedals were gone.
"What the?" Pip asked with a confused look on his face. He looked up to see that the rose pedals were used to make soup. The chef that was making the soup carried the pot away. "Aw come on!" he said. He then walked away with a sad look and his ears lowered.
"Pip, what's wrong?" Celestia asked him.
"…Nothing" he said. "Excuse me for moment" he said with a little sadness in his voice as he left the kitchen. This left Celestia with a concerned look. She then decided to follow her little nephew.
-The halls-
Celestia was in the hallways searching for where her nephew might be.
"Pipsqueak?" she called his name. She was searching left and right for him. She searched his room, but he wasn't there. She searched the backyard, but he wasn't there either. She even checked the Canterlot archives where he got his magic book, but no such luck. Now she was searching the hall and she still couldn't find him. That is, until she heard little noises. She followed it and it led her to the door of the throne room. Celestia then cracked the door open slightly. What she saw made her sad on the inside. She saw that Pip was crying. "Poor Pipsqueak" she said, looking away from the scene.
"Hello Celestia" a voice said. Celestia turned her head to see it was her sister, Princess Luna. She looked at Luna with a face of concern. "What's wrong?" Luna asked her sister with equally concerned look.
"It's Pip" she replied.
"What happened? Is he alright?" Luna asked, worried about her little foal.
"He tried to plan a perfect mother's day surprise for you, but everything went wrong and now he's crying" Celestia told her.
"Oh my little colt…" Luna said with her hoof close to her mouth.
"I think you should go talk to him" Celestia suggested. Luna nodded and headed in to console her crying son. Pip was on the ground crying, his hooves over his eyes as he sobbed. Luna saw this and knelt down in front of him. She then held him in her arms, cuddling him up to her chest.
"Sweetie…" she said in calmly, nudging him lightly with her nose. Pip sniffed and looked up at his mother with tears in his eyes. She looked down at him with a warm smile. "What happened, Pip?" she asked him.
"*sniff*… Well, you see… I was trying to give you perfect mother's day" he started. Luna nodded, listening closely to what he said. "I asked the chefs to bake you a cake, but it got burned" he said.
"Oh…" she said, knowing that must've been hard.
"I got you a box of chocolates, but they melted in the sun" he told her. She had a look of pity on her face. "And I got you a bouquet of your favorite flowers, but one of the chefs accidentally cut off the pedals to make soup" he said, more tears in his eyes. He then sobbed. "And all I have left is a card that I made you. Now you'll never now how much I love you!" he said, and then cried again, crying on his mother's chest in her arms. Luna felt his sadness and held him close, nuzzling him caringly.
"There, there, Pipsqueak. I know you tried your best to make me happy" She said, nuzzling him. "But you didn't have to do all that just to show me how much you love me" she told him.
"*sniff*… I didn't?" he asked with a sob.
"No. You show me how much you love me everyday just by being a good son and by showing me what a good mother I am by letting me raise you as my own" she said, wiping the tears from his face. Pip sniffed once more.
"Mom…" he said, burying his face in her chest. The two held each other close, accepting each other's embrace.
"Is it ok if I see the card?" she asked. He looked up at her and nodded. He then looked through his saddlebag and took out his mother's day card for Luna, handing it to her. She then began to read it.
"Dear Mom,
Even though we're not related by blood, I still consider you my true mother. Because family isn't about whom you look like or whose blood you have, it's about the ponies that love and care about you enough to raise you. And that is you're my favorite princess and the best mom ever. I love you, mom. XOXO
-You're loving son, Pipsqueak"
The note read. Once she was done reading it she felt touched. "Oh Pipsqueak…" she said, emotions flowing through her. She felt her heart melt with joy and love. Now it was her turn to cry a little. She cried a little as she held her foal in a tight embrace. "Let give you some kisses" she said, and then kissed him all over his face. Once done, she nuzzled his face lovingly. A fun thought then crossed her mind. "Want to know what I love about you, Pipsqueak?" she asked with a smile.
"What?" he asked.
"I love your kind heart…" she started. "I love that cute little scarf you wear around your cute little neck…" she said, holding up his scarf in her hoof. "I love your messy little mane…" she said, rubbing the top his head. "And most of all, I love that cute little raspberry on your tummy" she said, pointing at him.
"Raspberry? What raspberry?" he asked, looking at his stomach.
"This one!" she said, tackling him to the ground. She then pressed her lips against his stomach and did a raspberry. This made him burst into uncontrollable laughter as she continued to do it.
"S-Stop! I-hi-m ticklish! Ahahahaha!" he said through laughter, tears of laughter coming out of his eyes. Luna did it one more time before stopping to let Pip catch his breath. She giggled, and then sat up, holding Pip in her arms once again.
"So what else did you do today?" she asked.
"Nothing much… unless you count me defending your honor by punching Blueblood in the family jewels" he said.
"*Gasp* you punched Blueblood in the privates?" she asked with a surprised, yet happy look.
"Mm-hm" he nodded.
"Ok, now I'm really proud of you" she said. She then set him down. "Come on, let's go get some pizza… just the two of us" she said and they walked out, walking side-by-side, smiling at each other. Celestia watched as her sister and nephew left to go spend time together.
"Hm… those two…" Celestia said with a warm smile, ending a heartwarming day.
And so ends this chapter. See you all next time in chapter 8
8. Chapter 8: Doctors appointment
Hey guys welcome to chapter 8 of: Luna's Foal. The last chapter was about mother's day. Let's see what'll happen in this chapter, shall we?
It was yet another day at Canterlot castle. It had been about a week since Mother's day and Pip and Luna were eating breakfast. Celestia was at the head of the table eating breakfast as well.
"Luna, weren't you going to tell Pip something?" Celestia asked her sister with a smile.
"Oh, right!" she said, remembering. "Pip, sweetie, you have a doctors appointment today" she told him. Pip's eyes widened.
"D-Doctors appointment?" he asked with nervousness, shaking a bit. Luna nodded. "Yeah, about that..." Pip hopped out of his seat and ran out of the kitchen, into the hallways. Luna chuckled under her breath and lightly shook her head with a smile.
"Aren't you going to go after him?" her sister asked.
"Yeah, but I'd rather give him a head start. It's more fun that way" Luna told her. They then waited a few seconds... "Ok, I'm ready. Here I come my little Pipsqueak!" she said, and then chased after her son.
-Within the castle-
Luna had been walking through the castle in search for her son. She had been searching for a good twenty minutes, and to be honest... she was enjoying herself. She's had fun with Pip before, but this little game of cat and mouse was just pure entertainment.
"Where are you, Pip? I just want to play with you" she said in playful, yet somewhat creepy tone of voice. She then noticed that she was next to an open closet. She also noticed that within the closet was a tall mirror. Luna looked in the mirror and saw a certain brown mane. Luna smiled, knowing exactly who was in there. She decide to play along. "Oh no, I guess Pipsqueak got away from. That little foal has outsmarted the Princess of the Night. Oh well..." Luna said in pretend tone of defeat. She trotted in place as if she were going somewhere. She then used her magic to teleport in place. Luna stepped to the side and put her back against the wall. Pip slowly pushed open the closet door and made sure nopony was around. He sighed in relief. This however, wouldn't last long because his mother grabbed him from behind. He struggled to break free, but Luna used her horn to disable his magic so he wouldn't teleport away.
"Aw, mom!" he complained.
"Pipsqueak, you know mommy loves you, right?" she asked with a loving smile.
"Yeah..." he said, looking up at her.
"Then will you please go to your doctors appointment? For mommy?" she asked with begging eyes. Pip hated going to the doctors, but he loved his mother even more.
"Ok mom, for you" he said.
"Thank you, sweetheart" Luna said, and then kissed his forehead.
-The doctors-
Pip and Luna had eventually made it to the hospital for Pip's check up. Luna had already filled out the paperwork and now they were waiting for them to call his name.
"So... what am I here for again?" Pip asked, wondering why they were at the doctors.
"You're here to get a booster shot" she told him. Pip trembled at the sound of those last two words. Luna noticed this and wrapped one of her wings around her foal's little body. "Worry not little Pip, it won't be that bad" Luna told him, and then lovingly nuzzled his face with hers.
"Pipsqueak..." a nurse mare called his name. Pip and Luna then followed her to a nearby room. "The doctor shall be with you shortly" she told them, and then left. Pip nervously looked at his mom who was smiling at him.
"Relax my son, everything will be alright" she said, placing a hoof on top of his. This calmed Pipsqueak down a bit. It was then that the doctor came in.
"Hello Pipsqueak, how are we doing today?" the doctor asked him with a smile.
"I'm fine" he replied.
"Good. Is your mom taking good care of you?" he asked.
"Depends. Is mom the bringer of the night?" he asked, answering his question with another question. His mother and the doctor let out a chuckle.
"Alright, let's start your check up" the doctor said. He raised his stethoscope and placed it on Pip's chest. "Alright, now take deep breaths for me" he told the little colt. Pip took in five deep breaths. "You have a healthy heart beat" the doctor told him. He then took out a thermometer and placed it into Pip's mouth. A few seconds passed and he took out the thermometer and and read it. "Your body temperature's normal. That's good" he said.
"What now?" Pip asked.
"Now we check your height and your weight" The doctor told him. He took out a measuring ruler and took his height. "2 ft 1 inch" he announced. He then took his weight. "40 pounds; an acceptable weight for foal your size" he said. Pip and Luna smiled at each other. "Now to finish this check up..." he said. The doctor took out a small needle. Pip's eyes widened and his pupils shrank, shaking in fear. "Princess, you might want to hold him down" the doctor suggested. Luna held him in her arms. Pip had his head pressed against his mother's chest, his eyes shut tight.
"Your only going to feel a tiny pinch, sweetie" Luna told her son. The doctor then inserted the needle into Pip's flank.
"Ow!" Pip yelled in pain. He then began to cry in his mother's arms. He sobbed as tears ran down his cheeks.
"It's Ok, Pipsqueak, it's over now" Luna told her foal while she held him close. The doctor put a band aid where the shot was and offered Pip a sucker. Knowing Pip was to frightened to even look, Luna picked one for him. "Thank you" she said to the doctor. "Come on, Pip. Let's go home" Luna said while carrying her still sobbing foal in her arrms. Pip looked up at his mother.
"Mom... I'm sorry for being a coward" he said with a sad look and a tear in his left eye.
"Coward? Pip, you were brave in there. I was proud of how well you took your shot" she said.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes. You're my big, brave colt" She told him with smile on her face as she rubbed his nose with hers. She then levitated the sucker into her son's mouth and he rested his head on her chest again.
-Canterlot castle-
Celestia was walking through the halls of the castle. She then saw her sister, Luna, walking in the opposite direction with Pipsqueak in her arms.
"So how did it go little sister?" Celestia asked her in a whisper, having noticed that Pip was asleep in Luna's arms.
"It went well" Luna said, smiling, looking down at her sleeping foal. She then walked past her sister and placed Pip into his bed. She then gave him a kiss on the forehead and walked out with a warm and loving smile.
And so ends chapter 8.

9. Chapter 9: Sick Day
Hey everypony, welcome to chapter 9 of this oh so popular story. This chapter will no doubt test Luna's skills as a mother. Will she succeed? Let's find out.
It was another day at Canterlot castle. Pip was asleep in bed. His mother came in and noticed this. She walked up to her sleeping child.
"Pipsqueak. It's time to wake up, sweetheart" she said, nudging him with her nose. Pip slowly opened his eyes and let out a yawn.
"Morning, mom" he greeted her. He then got out of bed and followed his mother. Unexpectedly, he sneezed.
"Bless you" she said and he thanked her. They then headed to the kitchen for breakfast.
-The kitchen-
Pip and his mother were now eating breakfast, with Pip eating cereal. However, there were moments when he would let out a sneeze; more often than a pony normally should sneeze. He then let out yet another sneeze.
"Are you alright?" Luna asked her dear son with concern.
"I'm fine, I just *cough* woke up funny. *cough* *cough* *cough*" he covered his mouth with his hoof. Luna continued to have a look of worry for her young foal. She wasn't sure why, but she had a feeling that her little colt wasn't doing so good. Call it mother's intuition. Pip let out a huge sneeze and sniffed. Luna decide to see what was wrong and placed her hoof against his forehead.
"Baby, you're burning up" she said with concern, noticing his forehead was extremely hot, as if he had a fever. In fact, he did have a fever. He coughed a few time before collapsing in his mother's arms. "Pipsqueak..." she said, holding her sick child in her arms.
-Moments later-
After having had her son collapse, Luna brought him back to his room where she placed him in his bed and tucked him in. Pip's eyes began to slowly open, and then began to look at his mother.
"M-Mom?" he asked weakly.
"Shh! It's Ok. Let me take your temperature" she said. She then used her magic to levitate a thermometer into her son's mouth. Seconds passed and she read the thermometer. "Oh no. You're definitely sick, sweetness" Luna said while petting his mane. "Is there anything you need?" she asked him.
"Can you tell me a story?" he requested.
"Ok, I'll tell you a story" she said with a loving smile. "Once upon a time, there was a brave pony by the name of Captain Pipsqueak, fiercest and toughest pirate of all the Equestrian seas..." she began. Luna figured that since Pip loved pirates, she thought it'd be best to tell him that kind of story. With him as the main character no less. "Unlike most pirates from his time, Captain Pip fought evil pirates and gave back the treasure that they stole from innocent ponies" she said. "In the end he became a world famous pirate, and very wealthy at that. Even in his elderly years he always did right. He would then die peacefully in his sleep" she concluded.
"Wow, that was a pretty good story" Pip said through a stuffy nose. Luna smiled lightly.
"I thought you'd might like it" she said. "Stay here while I go get you some soup" she told him, rubbing his head lovingly. She then left his. When she walked down the hall, she was met with her older sister.
"What's wrong with Pip? I heard you two talking in there" Celestia asked.
"My poor baby's sick" Luna replied.
"Aw, how sad" Celestia said, feeling bad for her little nephew.
"Yeah, I'm going to bring some soup" she said.
[20 minutes later]
"Ok, I'm back" Luna said, entering her son's room with a bowl of soup. "Carefully, it's hot" she said placing the bowl in front of him.
"Smells good" he said.
"Would you like me to feed it to you?" she asked. He nodded in response. Luna used her magic to levitate a spoonful of soup into Pip's mouth. The soup was full of noodles and vegetables, such as carrots and celery. A few minutes later Pip had finished eating the contents that were in the soup. His mother had told to drink the broth because it was good for him. He drank the broth. He then sneezed, leaving some snot run down his nose. Luckily for Luna she was able to put up a magic health force field so she would catch Pip's cold. She used a tissue to wipe the snot from his nose. He also let out a cough. "Alright, get some rest little one. Sleep will help you feel better" Luna said, stroking her child's mane. Pip sniffed and went to sleep. Being sick made his body feel weak, so he would sleep easy. Luna then kissed her right hoof and touched Pip's forehead. "Sweet dreams my son" she said, and then exited her room. When she left, it was at this very moment that her dear son was having a very important dream...
-Pipsqueak's Dream-
During his slumber, Pip was having a dream. Pip was now in a hospital somewhere. He looked around and saw a pony in a hospital bed. The pony was a mare and she had a lavender coat with a white mane and tail. She had blue eyes as well. Her cutie mark was a ribbon tied into a bow
"What the?" Pip was now confused. Why was he in a hospital? More specifically, why was he watching a mare sitting in a hospital bed?
"Here's your baby, Mrs. Kindra" a doctor said, handing her a newborn baby foal. Pip then walked up to the bed and stood on his hind legs to get a better look. Now that he thought about it, the mare that he saw was somewhat familiar.
"It's a colt" she said, although with no enthusiasm what so ever. Pip got a closer look at the foal and his eyes widened in shock. The colt that he saw before him... was him. And if this was him as a newborn... then that meant...
"What are you going to name it?" a stallion asked while walking up to Kindra.
"Pipsqueak..." she told him. Pip backed away in shock. There was no doubt now. The made before him was in fact his mother... his blood mother. He couldn't take all of this in. Now would as good of a time as any for him to wake up. He shut his eyes tight to exit this memory.
-Pip's Room-
Pip woke up and he immediately started coughing.
"You ok little guy?" a voice asked him. Pip turned his head to see a mare standing beside her. She was a pink pony with the mane color of purple, yellow, and hot pink. And the surprising part was, she was an alicorn! The same species as his aunt and mother. Did that mean this pony was a princess too?
"I'm fine *cough* who are you?" he asked her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Princess Cadence" she introduced herself.
"Princess Cadence? Ruler of the crystal empire?" he asked.
"The same. You must be Pipsqueak" she assumed. He replied with a nod. "Yeah, you're Luna's son. Guess that makes us cousins" she said, smiling. He weakly smiled back. "I usually go by Princess Cadence, but today you can call me Nurse Cadence" she said, using her magic to turn her crown into a nurse hat and tie her hair into a ponytail. Pip was about to let out another sneeze, but Cadence put a tissue to nose before he could. She sighed in relief. "Alright Pipsqueak, your mom told me to make sure you took your medicine. So drink up" She said while magically pouring liquid medicine into a spoon. She attempted to give him the medicine, but he refused. "Pip, you have to take your medicine" she tried to put it in his mouth, but he shook his head. Cadence sighed. It was then that she got an idea. "Pipsqueak, what's your favorite flavor?" she asked him.
"...Grape" he told her. Cadence smiled and turned the medicine the flavor to grape. She then attempted to feed him the medicine for the third time in a row. This time she was actually able to get the liquid down his throat. "Good, now your mother should be here soon" she told him.
"Where is she?" Pip asked. Cadence smiled.
-Ponyville-
"So why are you here in Ponyville again, Princess?" Twilight asked Luna. The two of them along with the other mane six were in Twilight's library.
"Pip is sick in bed and I'm here to get him some tea" she explained.
"Uh, don't they got a whole lot of tea in Canterlot?" Applejack asked, knowing that Canterlot ponies drank a lot of tea.
"Yes, but I figured I could give him tea from the place where he grew up" Luna said. "That, and Ponyville has some ingredients for tea that Canterlot doesn't" she added. The girls agreed.
"Wait, does Pip even like tea?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Not really, but if I put some honey into it and make it grape flavored, he'll probably be Ok with it... probably" Luna told her.
"Here's some honey" Pinkie Pie said, pulling a bottle of honey out of Fluttershy's mane. Fluttershy gave her a surprised look, as did the others along with Luna.
"Uhh... thanks?" Luna said with an awkward look as she put the bottle into her saddlebag with her magic.
"And as for the grape flavor..." Fluttershy began, and then whistled with a hoof to her mouth. This caused a few rabbits, deer, and raccoons to appear with grapes.
"Thank you, woodland critters" Luna smiled as she placed the fruit into her saddlebag as well.
"Hey, maybe we can come to Canterlot and throw Pip a 'get well soon' party!" Pinkie exclaimed. The others - especially Luna- gave her a glare. This caused her to shrink back a bit.
"In any case, I hope the little sweetie feels better" Rarity said.
"Thank you, Rarity" Luna said with a light smile. "Well, it's time for me to go. My son needs me" she said as she stood up.
"Wish him our best, Princess" Twilight said. Luna nodded and then headed back to Canterlot.
-Canterlot Castle-
Luna was walking through the halls of the castle and had reached her son's room.
"Your mom should be here soon" she heard her niece's voice.
"I'm back" Luna said, walking into Pip's room. "Thank you, Cadence. I think I can take it from here" Luna told her niece as she entered Pip's room. Cadence left so Luna could take care of her son. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" she asked him.
"*sneeze*... not so good" he said.
"Got a sore throat?" she asked. He nodded. "Here, this tea should help" she said, levitating the cup of tea to him. "Careful, it's hot" she told him. She then blew on the tea to cool it down for him. Once it was cool enough, Pip took a sip of the tea.
"Mmm, grape and honey" he said, licking his lips.
"Be sure to drink it all up" Luna told him. Pip did as his mother told him and drank the amazingly good tea. Luna then placed a hoof on Pip forehead.
"Hm. You still have a fever, sweetie" she said, taking her hoof off his head. She made her horn glow and an ice pack appeared in front of her. She then placed it gently on her child's forehead. Pip sighed in relief.
"Thank you" he said to his mother. Luna stroked his mane lovingly with her hoof.
"Get well soon, sweetie pie" she said, walking away. She turned around, kissed her hoof, and blew it at her son. Luna closed the door and held her hoof to her chest with concern.
"Is something troubling you, little sister?" Luna heard her sister as she walked up to her.
"Nothing. I'm just a worried mother is all" Luna told her with worry.
"Worry not, little sister. I'm sure he'll be better by tomorrow" Celestia told her with a caring hoof on her shoulder. Luna gave a slight smile and she and her sister walked off into the castle to let Pip get better. Hopefully, the young prince would feel better by tomorrow.
-Dusk-
Luna was on one of the balconies of the castle, doing the her job of lowering the moon. It was at this moment that she heard small hoofsteps coming. She turned around to see Pipsqueak.
"Good morning, sweetie. Feeling better?" she asked her son with a smile. He nodded, but he was looking down. "What's the matter my little foal?" she asked him with a worried look.
"I... had a dream the other day" he told her.
"What about?" she asked. Pip looked off to the side, not knowing how to tell his mother. "Pip. I'm your mother. You can tell me" she said, holding his chin up with her hoof.
"Well... you see... I had a dream about... my birth mom" he slowly told her. Luna closed her eyes, lit up her horn, and touched Pip's forehead with the tip. She had used specific spell to search through Pip's dreams until she found what he was talking about.
"I see..." she said.
"Yeah..." he said. There was a moment of silence between them. Luna decided to break the silence by smiling and holding her son in an embrace.
"Oh, Pip... I love you so much" she said, and then kissed his head. The two stayed in each other's embrace for a good time.
And there you have it, Chapter 9. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Remember to read, review, and favorite/follow
10. Chapter 10: Pip and the Crystal Empire
Alright, Chapter 10 of Luna's Foal. And this is a chapter that many of you have been wanting to see.
A deal's a deal. You guys gave reviews for my Shadow Storm story, so here's chapter 10. Enjoy
-Pipsqueak's school-
It was around recess time and Pip and his friend Solar Ray were at the bench talking.
"So Pip, do anything interesting lately?" Ray asked his royal friend.
"Not really. I was just sick a few days ago" he told him.
"Hm. That doesn't sound good. You Ok?" Ray asked him.
"Yeah, my mom and cousin helped take care of me" Pip said. At that moment the school bell rang to send the students back to class.
"I really hope the rest of the school day will be easy" Ray said as the two of them headed back to class.
-Canterlot castle-
"So you're really going to do this?" Celestia asked her younger sister.
"I'm certain, sister. He needs answers" she said. In time after Pip was sick, Luna had told Celestia about Pip's memory.
"Well, you are his mother. I'm sure you know what's best for-"
"Shh! Here he comes" Luna said, cutting her sister of mid sentence, seeing her adoptive foal walk through the halls. "Hi sweetie pie, how was school?" she asked him with a smile.
"It was alright I guess. I have some homework that I've got to do" He told his mother.
"You can do it once we get to our destination" She said to him.
"Destination? Where?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. The two princesses smiled at each other.
-The Crystal Empire-
Luna and Pip were flying to the crystal empire in a chariot. She had chosen to ride in the golden chariot that her sister normally rode in. Sure she could've ridden in her own chariot (which was pretty hardcore to say the least), but that wasn't exactly safe for her son considering it had spikes and blades on it and he could probably hurt himself trying to get in. Being the mother that she was, she took the safer route for her child.
"So why are we going to the Crystal Empire again?" Pip asked.
"So you can meet the rest of your family" Luna told him.
"And by 'the rest', you mean Shining Armor?" he asked.
"Yes, but I also want a chance for you to get to know Cadence better" she told him. Eventually they had made it to the crystal empire. As the name suggested, the whole empire was made entirely of crystal. Even the ponies were made of crystal. Pip had heard stories of this place from both his mom and Twilight, but this was the first time he ever got to see the empire in person. Once the chariot landed they immediately went into the castle.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Pip said as he and his mother walked into the throne room where they were met with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.
"Hello Cadence" Luna greeted her niece.
"Hello Princess Luna" Cadence greeted her aunt as they walked up to each other. "Hey Pip, you're feeling better I see" she said to her young cousin.
"Yeah, thanks to you... and mom" he said with light smile. Cadence playfully rubbed his head with her hoof.
"Speak of which, Cadence, can I talk to you in private?" Luna asked.
"Uh, sure" she said in agreement. The two princesses walked to the balcony, far enough so that the young prince wouldn't hear them talk. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" Cadence asked.
"It's about Pipsqueak" Luna said. "He had a dream about his birth mom" she told her.
"Ok, I think I know what you're going to do" Cadence said. Luna gave a silent nod.
"Do you think you can watch him while take care of what I need to do?" she asked Cadence.
"Sure. I used to foalsit Twilight, so watching Pip shouldn't be too hard" Cadence said with a confident smirk.
"I hope you're right" Luna said as she and Cadence began walking back to the young foal. "Pip, honey, I need you to stay with your cousin Cadence and for awhile, Ok?" Luna told her son.
"Why?" he asked.
"Well, mommy has something she has to do. Can you be good for Cadence while I'm gone?" she asked and Pip gave her a nod. "Good" she said, and then kissed him on the forehead. "See you when I get back" she told him as she walked to the balcony once more. Pip followed. Luna then jumped from the railing and glided down to her chariot. She looked up at her son and gave him a wink before going off in her chariot. Once she was gone though, Pip a look of slight sadness upon his face. He then felt the touch of a gentle hoof upon his back, turning his head to see Princess Cadence beside him.
"Don't worry, Pip. You and I are going to have loads of fun today. Where do you want to go?" Cadence asked her young cousin. He thought for moment.
"Well, I wouldn't mind going to see Shining Armor" Pip told her.
"I suppose meeting him would be best. Your mother did say you should meet the rest of the family, my husband included" Cadence said, smiling.
-With Shining Armor-
The white unicorn known as Shining Armor was at the track of the Crystal Empire, watching athletic ponies run. Not only was he Cadence's husband and prince of the crystal empire, but he was also the captain of the Canterlot royal guards, and apparently he was also a coach.
"Hey dear" a voice greeted him from behind. He looked to see it was his wife.
"Oh, hey Cadence" he greeted his wife with a nuzzle. "Who's the foal?" he asked, noticing a tiny colt by her side.
"Shining, this is Pipsqueak, our cousin" she told him.
"Oh, so you're Luna's kid. Yeah, Luna told us all about you" he said to the young foal.
"Really? Like what?" Pip asked with a curious tone.
"How you're a curious little guy and that you're full of spirit, stuff like that" Shining told him. Pip smiled lightly. "Hey, you're an earth pony, right?" Shining asked and Pip replied with a nod. "Wanna see how fast you can run?" he asked.
"Um, sure" Pip agreed.
"Shining, isn't that a little risky? I mean, he's only a colt" Cadence said with a look of concern.
"Relax Cadence, it's only one lap" he told her with reassurance.
"Ok, as long as he doesn't get hurt" she said. Shining Armor then told his runners to head home as they were done training for the day. This gave Pip a chance to get on the track.
"Alright Pip, show me what you've got" Shining said. "Go!" he shouted, starting the timer. Pip then began to run across the track. Being an earth pony, running came naturally to Pip, and despite his young age, he had quite the endurance. He picked up the pace and ran faster. A few minutes later he was halfway around the track.
"Wow, the little guy is quite the runner" Cadence said.
"Well he is an earth pony" Shining told her.
"True" she said, not being able to argue with the logic. They watched as the young colt almost make it full circle. However, at the last few seconds, he tripped. He would've hit ground were it not for Shining Armor saving him at the last second. Cadence gave her husband a glare.
"Uh... maybe we should stop" Shining said, nervously rubbing the back of his head. He set Pip down in front of them. "So what do you want to do now, Pip?" he asked the young colt.
"Well I wouldn't mind getting something to eat" he told them.
"Alright, you can eat while you do your homework" Cadence said to him.
-The Crystal Castle-
"Pip is a nice colt, isn't he?" Cadence asked Shining as they watched Pip eat an apple while doing his homework.
"Yeah, he's definitely Luna's son" Shining said. Pip walked up to them and showed Cadence his work. She checked it to see if the answers were right. The answers were right and she nodded, agreeing that Pip was done. He had also finished his apple, throwing it away in the trash.
"So cousin Cadence, now that I've finished both my snack and my homework, what should we do now?" Pip asked her.
"Well unless you want to see the crystal heart, there's not much to see. And for the record, you can just call me Cadence" she told him with a smile.
"I guess the crystal heart would be cool to see" he said.
-The crystal heart-
They had arrived at the crystal heart. Cadence then lit the heart with her magic and made it use its crystal power. This made herself, Shining Armor, and Pip crystalized.
"Whoa! This is awesome!" Pip said in an amazed tone. Not only was his body crystalized, but so was his mane and tail.
"Well, I'm glad you had fun today, Pip" Cadence said to him. "And it looks like your mom's here" she said, looking up at the sky. They saw Luna's chariot (the safe one) descend upon the kingdom.
"Mom!" Pip said with joy, running up to her.
"Pipsqueak, my dear colt!" Luna said with equal joy as she embraced her son in a hug. "Did you have fun with Cadence and Shining armor?" she asked.
"I sure did" he replied.
"Did you finish doing what you had to do?" Cadence asked her aunt.
"I did" Luna replied with a wink. Cadence winked back.
"What are you talking about?" Pip asked.
"Uh... nothing, sweetie. For now it's time for us to head home" Luna said to him. Pip nodded as crystal form wore off. "So long you two" she bid her relatives farewell as she and Pip head back to Canterlot.
"Shining. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cadence asked him.
"That Pipsqueak has great potential within him?" he guessed.
"Yeah... he sure does" she said, smiling as they watched the chariot fly off into the distance.

11. Chapter 11: Discord
Hey everybrony, I know it's been awhile since I've updated this extremely popular story, but let's continue. And I think some of you will enjoy who appears in this chapter.
Morning was upon the kingdom of Canterlot. In his room, the young Prince Pipsqueak was in his bed, sleeping the day away. It was at this moment however that his mother, Princess Luna poked her head through his door. She turned her head to the right to see her son's pet shadow wolf asleep in its little doggie bed.
Luna smiled and had an idea. She lit her horn up and levitated fang with her magic which woke him up. Luna held a hoof up to her lips for him to be quiet. She then moved him towards Pip's head and released her magical hold upon his pet, making him fall on her son's bed next to him. Fang wagged his tail and repeatedly licked his owner's face.
"Ah! Fang, cut it out!" Pip laughed as he held his pet back. He sat up and held him in his arms.
"Good morning, my little prince of the night" Luna said to her surrogate foal as she walked in.
"Hey mom" he said back, smiling at her.
"Come on, it's time for breakfast" she said with a smile and turned around, walking down the hall. Pip's stomach then growled.
"Come on, Fang" Pip said as he and his wolf hopped of bed and headed out to the dining room.
-Breakfast-
The royal family was now eating breakfast. Luna was eating a fancy breakfast sandwhich while her son was eating a bowl of cereal, and his beat was eating a bowl of fancy dog food.
"So tell me, how are your friends, sweetie?" Luna asked Pipsqueak.
"They're fine. The boys and I get along pretty well" he replied.
"I know that. You're a good boy" Luna rubbed the top of his mane. "I mean, it only makes sense that you have good friends. And best of all, you've met a lot of ponies here in Canterlot" she said.
"Oh, but he hasn't met everypony, Luna" a voice echoed in the room, making everypony in the room look up at the ceiling. To make matters worse, this was a voice that both Luna and Celestia knew all too well...
"Pip, honey, go to your room..." Luna told her son without even looking, having a stern look upon her face.
"Why?" he asked.
"Don't ask. Just do as I say" she said. Pip could tell she was being serious.
"Ok, mom... if say so" he agreed without question.
Pip hopped out of his seat and head towards the exit. He was about to head to his room, when a creature appeared in front of him.
"Hello, young Pipsqueak" the creature said to him.
"Mom... who is this?" Pipsqueak asked, backing away a bit.
"*sigh*... Pipsqueak, this Discord. Discord, this is Pipsqueak" Luna walked up behind her son as she introduced him to the to the draconequus, having a very annoyed look upon her face as she looked at Discord.
"Discord?" Pip was confused.
"What are you doing here?" Celestia asked as she stood next to her younger sister.
"Just thought I'd stop by and a little fun with Pip" Discord said, a claw up against Pip's chin.
"You're not coming anywhere near him!" Luna said, holding Pip close to her.
"Come now, Princess Luna. I'm reformed, remember?" Discord reminded her. Luna quickly glanced at her sister then back at Discord.
"Even so, I don't want you corrupting my child with your mischief!" she pointed a hoof at him.
"I don't see it as mischief, more like harmless chaos" he lightly corrected her. Luna rolled her eyes. "Besides, I think Pip could learn a thing or two from me"
"What he could possibly learn from you?!" Luna asked.
"Luna, may I talk with you for a moment? Alone..." Celestia asked.
"Fang, protect Pipsqueak" Luna told the wolf while she and her sister walked out into the hall to chat.
Fang growled at Discord as he stood in front of his young master.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about, Celestia?" Luna asked, both sisters now in the hallway.
"Look, little sister..." she began. "I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your son. But maybe Discord has a point..." she stated.
"What?!" Luna was shocked by what her sister said.
"I know. I know. You don't want Pip being around a bad influence like Discord" she said.
"You bet your royal flank I don't!" Luna said with a look of annoyance.
"Relax, Luna. I'm just saying that maybe you should give Discord a chance" Celestia said. Luna gave her a deadpan expression. "I don't like the idea any more than you do, but he has a point. You can't protect Pip forever. No matter how much you love him, eventually there'll be a threat to Equestria that you might not be able to protect him from" she said.
"I can try. I'm his mother, after all" Luna said, her eyed closed with a serious look.
"Will at least trust me on this?" Celestia asked. Luna gave a raised eyebrow.
"Fine! I'll give him a chance. ONE chance!" she emphasized.
"Thank you, Lulu" Celestia nodded.
"I hate it when you call me that..." Luna mumbled under her breath in annoyed tone. Celestia giggled and they headed back to where Pip was, only to find him stuck to the ceiling and his pet had shrunk to the size of a bug. Both sisters glared daggers at Discord.
"What?" Discord asked. Their expressions hadn't changed. "Oh, alright" Discord snapped his fingers and Fang returned to his original size.
Pip on the other hoof, was released from the ceiling. He would've hit the floor if it weren't for his mother catching him in her hooves. She lovingly nuzzled her child's head, and then set him down.
"Discord, my sister has something she'd like to say" Celestia said.
"*sigh*... I should hit myself for saying this" Luna began. "Discord... you can spend the day with Pipsqueak" she said through gritted teeth, holding back her annoyance for the draconequus.
"Really?" Pip and Discord asked simultaneously in surprise.
"Yes. But I don't want to see even a single scratch upon his face, do you understand me?" She said sternly.
"But of course" Discord replied in a half playful tone. Luna rolled her eyes as Discord walked past her. Pip was about to walk past her as well but she quickly extended out a wing to stop him.
"Remember, if Discord gives you any trouble, just come back and I'll have Twilight and her friends turn him back into stone" she whispered to him.
"Ok" Pip replied and nodded.
"Now go on, have fun" she playfully rubbed the top of his head. Pip ran up to where Discord was. "Be careful, sweetie" Luna said to herself quietly with worry.
"Come, Pip, let us have some fun" Discord said and with a snap of his fingers, he and Pip teleported away. Luna sighed with a bit of worry.
"It'll be Ok, Luna" Celestia said, placing a hoof on her sister's shoulder.
"Then why do I feel like regretting what I just did?" Luna asked with her ears lowered.
"You're a mother, Luna, it's your job to worry about your foal" her sister told her.
"I know. I just want him to be safe..." Luna said, hold a hoof to her chest.
-With Pip and Discord-
Having teleported, Discord had transported himself and Pipsqueak to the outside of the castle.
"So tell me, Pipsqueak, what would the son of the princess of the night like to do?" Discord asked. "Perhaps we could go to Neighagra Falls for a swim" Discord teleported behind him, wearing swimwear.
"Umm..." Pip tilted his head.
"Or maybe we could go to the Everfree forest and prank the ponies of Canterlot with poison joke" Discord offered, appearing in front of him in his normal state.
"Actually, I was wondering if we could go to Ponyville so I could visit my Ponyville friends" Pipsqueak suggested.
"Oh, is there a certain pony you want to see?" Discord asked with a grin.
"Yeah, all of my friends" Pip said.
"But isn't there a certain little unicorn you wish to see?" Discord asked playfully.
"What?" Pip tilted his head in confusion.
"Oh please, Pip. We both know you want to see your little girlfriend, Sweetie Belle" Discord said teasingly.
"What?! Sweetie Belle is NOT my girlfriend!" Pip denied heavily while pointing a hoof at him, blushing angrily.
"Oh really?" Discord raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, really. Can we please go to Ponyville now?" Pip asked, looking of to the side, now blushing with embarrassment.
"Alright, fine, have it your way, young prince" Discord said half jokingly with a snap of his fingers and they were once again transported.
-Ponyville-
In the town of Ponyville, four friends were spending time at Sugarcube Corner, each drinking milkshakes.
"So Rumble, you ready for the upcoming Equestria Games?" Scootaloo asked excitedly.
"Yeah. I mean, that's not for another several months, but yeah, can't wait" he replied.
"What I'm wondering is where it's gonna be held" Applebloom commented.
"Who knows? Only time will tell" Sweetie Belle said.
"Well, I hear the Crystal Empire will be a contestant for where the Games will be held" a voice said from behind them. They all turned to see a familiar face.
"Pipsqueak!" all four friends said excitedly, happy to see their friend.
"Hey guys, long time no see" Pip said as he walked up to the table.
"Yeah, it's been awhile. Did your mom drop you off or something?" Rumble asked as Pip sat down.
"Uh, no, she didn't actually..." Pip told him, looking off to the side.
"Wait, then how are you here?" Applebloom asked with a confused look.
"Yes, Pip, do tell them how you arrived here today" a voice said.
"Oh, Celestia, no!" Scootaloo said with eyes widened.
"Yes. Hello, children, enjoying your little playtime?" Discord asked, appearing behind Pipsqueak.
"Discord!" the others said with surprise.
"You're the one who brought Pip here? Wait, what are you doing with Pip in the first place?" Sweetie Belle asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Princess Luna agreed to let me spend the day with Pipsqueak. He should at least get to know what the spirit of chaos is like, am I right?" Discord said, lifting Pipsqueak with his lion paw.
"Likely story. Like Princess Luna would ever let you near her son!" Scootaloo pointed a hoof at him.
"What I'm saying is true. Tell them, Pipsqueak" Discord said.
"It's true..." Pipsqueak confirmed, hanging his head while looking off to the side.
"Huh, that must've been hard for your mom to agree to" Sweetie Belle said.
"Yeah, I could tell by the tone in her voice when she was talking to Discord" Pip said with his ears lowered. "I wonder what she's doing right now"
-Canterlot castle-
Back at the castle, Celestia was sitting on her throne, doing paperwork as part of her royal duties. While Luna, on the other hoof, was in front of her sister, pacing around back and forth with a worried look upon her face.
"Where are they? How long has it been?" Luna asked worriedly under her breath.
"Luna, they've only been gone for 20 minutes" Celestia told her little sister. Luna glared at her. "I know, I know, you don't trust Discord with Pipsqueak" she said, knowing why her sister was giving her that look.
"I don't know what's worse, you trusting Discord or the fact that my son is spending time with him" Luna said, looking down with a serious look. "What if he's torturing the little one?"
"Now, Luna, even Discord wouldn't harm a foal that young. I'm as skeptical about Discord as you are, but you really shouldn't worry so much" Celestia told her sister.
On the outside, Luna kept the same expression as she did before. While on the inside, however, she felt like she wanted to just slap her sister like crazy... while at the same time knowing she had a point. Luna let out a long sigh.
"I think I'll take a walk around Canterlot to clear my head" she told Celestia.
"I think that would be best" Celestia agreed as she watched her younger sister walk out of the throne room.
-Canterlot-
As she stated before, Luna was taking a walk through Canterlot, hoping to clear her thoughts. Normally her personal guards would go with her, but she ordered against it. She also knew her subjects were looking at her as she walked, but it didn't both her much.
Her walking, however, was interrupted by her stomach growling.
"Hm. I suppose I did have a light breakfast..." she said to herself. She looked around to see if there were any acceptable restaurants to eat at.
What she had found was, not a restaurant, but a donut shop.
"Joe's Donut Shop? This sounds like a place Pip would be interested in" Luna commented. "Well, I guess I couldn't hurt to give it a try" she said.
The princess of the night walked towards the building and entered the shop, the door opening with a ding. Up at the counter was a tan unicorn stallion. He turned around to his surprise to see the Princess Luna herself.
"Princess Luna! What an honor it is to have you here in my shop" The pony who was most likely Donut Joe said with a nervous bow.
"Um, your welcome? And no need to bow please, it's embarrassing" she said with a light smile.
"Sorry. So what can get for you, Princess?" Joe asked.
"I'll have two glazed donuts and a cup of milk" Luna said, ordering of the menu.
"Coming right up" Joe said, going to make her order.
Luna went to go take a seat at a nearby table, sitting down with her arms crossed. A few moments had passed and Joe had brought Luna's order.
"Two glazed donuts and a milk for the princess, on the house" Joe said, giving her her snack.
"Thank you" Luna replied with a smile. She then levitated one the donuts with her magic and looked at it with a tilt of her head. She had never had a donut before. Would it taste good?
With a shrug of her shoulders, Luna took a bite out of her first donut. Her eyes shot open.
"Oh... my..." Luna said at a lost for words with a hoof covering her mouth. The flakiness of the bread; the sweetness of the glaze. Luna's mouth was now bursting with flavor.
"So good" she said, taking another bite of the donut. "Once I'm done with these two, I'll order a dozen more for Pip and I to share" she added. "I swear, if Discord has left even a scratch on his face, I'll have Twilight and the others turn him back to stone, and then I'm going to blast his stone body to dust!" she said angrily as she gulped down her milk.
Knowing what kind of mother she was, she'd probably do it too...
-Ponyville-
Back in Ponyville, the five foals and Discord were headed to the park.
"So Pip, is Discord going to be following you around all day?" Sweetie Belle asked him in a whisper so Discord wouldn't hear.
"Apparently, yes" Pip whispered back.
"Let's just hope he doesn't do anything to screw our day up" Scootaloo added.
"Let's hope to mom that he doesn't" Pip thought in his head.
-Ponyville Park-
The five friends (and Discord) had eventually made it to the park. Since Pip and Rumble were gentlecolts, they decided to let the girls pick where they wanted to play.
"I want to play on the swings" Sweetie Belle rushed towards the swing set.
"Me too!" Scootaloo said as she and Applebloom rushed towards the swing set as well. At that moment, Rumble had an idea that he wanted to share with Pip.
"Hey Pipsqueak, I've got an idea. Why don't we help push the girls on the swings? You push Sweetie Belle, I push Scootaloo" he told him.
"So you do like Scootaloo" Pipsqueak teased with a smirk.
"Be quiet!" Rumble said, blushing madly and with embarrassment. "I just thought since we're both gentlecolts, we'd help the girls out by giving them a friendly push on the swings"
"Or you just want to get closer to Scootaloo" Pip replied jokingly.
"Let's just help the girls, Ok?!" Rumble said with flat expression. Pip snickered and followed his Pegasus friend to the swing set. "Hey girls, want a push on the swings?" Rumble asked.
."Sure, thanks boys" Scootaloo agreed, her friends agreeing with a nod. Pip went behind Sweetie Belle and Rumble went behind Scootaloo and began lightly pushing the fillies higher.
Discord saw the foals playing and got a devious idea. "Can't resist a little chaos" he said quietly under his breath. He then snapped his lion fingers and did something to the swing that Sweetie Belle was playing on something began to happen.
The next thing they knew, the young unicorn filly was spinning out of control. Soon the swing stopped, but when it did, Sweetie Belle was sent flying.
Pip's widened in surprise and he chased after her. He would then throw himself in front of her at the last moment, catching her and landing on his back with her on top.
"Ow..." Pip groaned upon impact of hitting the ground. He heard the sound of Discord chuckling in amusement. "Not cool, Discord. Not cool" he said with a straight face.
"Thanks for saving me, Pip" Sweetie said in thanks to earth pony prince. Pipsqueak blushed at how close she was to his face.
"Ok, I kinda want to go home now..." Pip thought in his head, not wanting to be so close to the filly on top of him, despite liking how it felt. "Uh, you're welcome, Sweetie Belle" he got her off of him. "But I think my mom wants me home now. See you guys. Let's go, Discord" he said quickly as he approached Discord.
"Don't you want to spend more time with your friends?" Discord asked jokingly.
"Just take me home, please!" Pip begged with an awkward blush.
Discord chuckled. "As you wish" he said with a snap of his fingers.
-Canterlot Castle-
"Sister, I'm back from my walk" Luna said as she walked into the throne room.
"Wonderful. Did it help you change your mind about Discord?" her sister asked her. Luna was silent as she gave her sister a glare. "I'll take that as a 'no'" she guessed, knowing the expression her sister had.
It was at that moment that a quick flash of light appeared between the two sisters. It was Pipsqueak and Discord.
"Welcome back, Pipsqueak" Luna greeted her son in her motherly tone and a warm smile to go with it.
"Hey, mom" he greeted back, nuzzling his mother's chest in an embrace. Luna looked closely at Pip.
"Amazing, you don't seem to have a scratch on you" she said as she examined her child's body.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he told her with a reassuring smile. Luna smiled back and held Pip in her arms, giving him a hug.
"You got lucky" Luna mouthed at Discord with an almost threatening glare at him. "Come on, Pipsqueak, I got us a box of donuts in my room we can share" she told him as she set her foal down. Pip walked with Luna to her room, where they would share a box of pastries.
"Well, my job is done. So long, Celestia" Discord said, and then teleported away.
-Castle gardens-
Discord had teleported himself to the gardens of the castle. He was by himself, at least... until he heard a voice.
"Did you do it?" the voice said, making Discord turn his head.
"Blue blood"
"Answer me. Were you able to get rid of the boy?" The erogant prince asked with an eyebrow raised, wanting an answer out of him.
"No, I couldn't do it. I maybe the spirit of chaos, but it isn't in me to harm a child. Especially a princess's child" Discord said in all honesty.
Blueblood groaned in annoyance as he rub his temple with his hoof. "It's like they say: if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself" Blueblood said to himself, and then stormed off back inside.
There you go guys Chapter 11. sorry this took so long, I had a hard time writing Discord's character.
On a side note, there will be a side story to this story that will take place between this chapter and Chapter 12, so be on the lookout for that.
