Never knew the truth

Chapter 3: old friends, old wounds

Moonlight was in the middle of traininig as Luna shrieked. „It's a pleasure to meet you in person, princess Luna." the stalion said bowing down. Moonlight was snapped out of training by the voice of the stalion. „Shadow Blade, is that really you? I haven't seen you in..." Moonlight said racing towards Shadow Blade. „...10 years. You have grown alot since I've last seen you." Shadow Blade replied as he hugged Moonlight. „I haven't grown much. You know that i always grew slower than others. You have grown much." „I know. Oh by the way Shining Armor accepted me and now I will be a royal guard."

Moonlight and Shadow Blade talked about what the missed in the time they didn't have together. „Sorry to interupt you two but Moonlight, Celestia needs you for the preparetions of the Grand Gallopping Gala. Immediatly" Discord said making Shadow Blade back away. „Moonlight, why is the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony not inprisoned in stone? And why are you not afraid?" Shadow Blade said. „Oh I forgot to tell you that Discord is kind of my 'father'. Surprise" Moonlight awnsered in a nervous chuckle. „That leads me to the question..." Discord started glaring at the afraid unicorn and back at Moonlight. „...from where do you know him Moonlight, my dear?" Moonlight explained Discord and Shadow Blade everything from why she knows Shadow Blade and why Discord is here. Shadow Blade understood immideatly and said 'Sorry' to Discord.

Celestia was waiting for Moonlight and Discor in the throne room. She was walking around impatient. „Sorry that we are late Celestia. We met an old friend from Moonlight." Discord said as he and Moonlight came in. „It's alright." Celestia replied noticing that Moonlight looked at the floor. She didn't say anything just looked at the ground.

*in Moonlight's mind*

„What is she even doing here? You know that just 'normal ponies' can join the game." Diamond Shine said glaring at the just 3 year old Moonlight. Moonlight always lied about her age because she didn't want to be an outcast which she was. „Don't be always so mean Diamond Shine. Let her play..." Shadow Blade defended Moonlight. She said nothing and just trotted away.

That Shadow Blade came and they talked about their lives ripped open old wounds and it hurt.

*back in reality*

„Moonlight? Are you alright?" Cxelestia said to get Moonlight's attention. „Huh? Oh yeah i'm...fine...it's just that...nevermind." Moonlight replied still looking at the floor. „I'm not feeling well. I go to sleep now. I still have stuff to do" Moonlight went to her room. 'I can't tell them. I'm 15 years old and still don't have my cutie mark. Maybe I'll get it at the gala.' Moonlight thought. She was hurt by the thought that Diamond Shine is propably now a sucessful magic teacher in Celestia's school for gifted unicorns. It made her sick that the pony she hated the most had more to do then her. At least she had a 'family' now, which cares for her and which made her happy. Moonlight smiled at that thought and entered her room.
