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.
