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.
