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.
