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.
