It was only last night that princess Luna had rescued her missing child after he had ran away from her that fateful night, and now she had Danny back in her loving arms and was resting peacefully with Danny surrounded in the warmth of her arms and her wings. They rested peacefully in her bed forgetting the scary night they had last night and now it felt like nothing more than a bad dream, and with Luna's help she made sure that no more bad dreams would ever plague the boys mind again.

It was then that the night itself was now over as the sun began to rise on another bright day for Equestria, and on this day, it would open a new start for Danny as not just a new member of Equestria, but the newest member of the royal family. As the sun began rise over the mountain, the rays of bright sun shine breached through the window of Luna's bed room and gleamed of the princess of the nights face as she began to stir.

Her midnight blue eyes began to slowly open as she felt the warmth of the sun all over her, she let out a yawn as she turned towards the window and looked to the new day with a gentle smile, it was then that she remember the bundle of joy that she had in her arms and remembered what she had to do today. She then turned from the sun and looked down to her arms as she sprouted out her wings and removed her arms as she now looked down at her sleeping child that was now snuggled up to her chest desperately to keep warm, the child was now warm and was certainly peaceful, and that was just what Luna wanted for him.

She then remember the clothes that were on the foot of her bed and levitated them over as she remembered his old clothes were ruined thanks to Danny's run in with the three colts she met last night. With a flash of quiet blue magic, she managed to dress Danny back into midnight blue attire, she smiled at him before giving him a gentle kiss on the head which only made him stir slightly before going back to sleep.

Luna then began to slowly move off the bed without waking Danny, it took a bit of crawling and dragging her belly on the sheets, but in no time she was able to get off the bed without moving it or making a noise. She quietly walked to the door of her bedroom and magically opened it slowly, she then poked her head out the side of the door to see two royal guards standing at attention on both sides of the door, she let out a sigh of relief knowing there was now some pony watching the bedroom.

"Excuse me...? Will one of you kindly fetch some break fast for Danny?"Luna requested rather than order much to the guard's surprise.

"Eh um... Of course your highness, Grit...! Go get some breakfast for the child,"The guard to the left ordered to the one on the right.

"Yes sir...! Coming right up princess Luna,"The guard known as Grit said before taking off down the hall.

With that being taken care of, Luna pulled her head back into the room and shut the door quietly, she then casually made her way back to the bed to watch over Danny, and as she had made it over to the boy's side of the bed, he then began to stir. His eyes fluttered open and he let out a small yawn as he then met eye to eye with princess Luna, he smiled at her while she did the same to him knowing for certain that she was there and was there for him.

"Hey Danny,and how are you in this fine morning?"Luna asked as Danny let out a calm sigh.

"It was very nice, and... I'm sorry I ran away from you, I was... Afraid that I would abuse and hurt you all, I... didn't mean to frighten you all, I just... Wanted you all to be safe,"Danny said before being pulled into a hug.

"Danny... Your heart was certainly in the right place, but I want you to know that as long as you are at our side, me and your new family will never let you turn to such a life of hate, pain and abuse,"Luna said as she nuzzled him while the boy hugged her back."You have a family here now Danny, I wish for you to know that."

"I have a family?"Danny asked as they looked each other in the eyes.

"Yes... You have an aunty Celestia, you have a cousin Blue Blood now, you still have yet to meet your cousin Cadence and..."Luna said as she placed her hoof over her heart."You have a mother."

"You will all be my new family? I... I always to hoped that I could have a big family, I want this, I want to have a family here... I want you to be my mom, "Danny said as he went right back to hugging her.

"Then even if we need to wait for a day or two more, as of now... I am your mother Danny, and I love you so much,"Luna said embracing his hug with open arms.

They remained sharing their heart warming hug for the longest time, it felt like it could last forever between the two of them, but it only lasted for a few moments before they slowly parted from the hug. Luna then removed the bed sheets from Danny allowing him to get out of bed.

"Then... Can we get some breakfast...? Mom?"Danny asked as Luna felt her heart heat up at him once again calling her his mom.

"Oh there is no need, I have requested some breakfast to brought back here for you, I wanted you to try and take an easy more after last night, I was so afraid that those colts had harmed you,"Luna said as Danny remembered them all too well.

"Yeah... They're just mad at me because they were picking on this one filly and I decided to step in,"Danny said as he chuckled a bit.

"Aww... So you met a little filly friend did you?"Luna asked with interest as she sat next to him on the bed.

"Yeah... Her name is Hershey Sprinkle, and... She didn't look like she cared about how I look, she was really nice,"Danny said as Luna became a bit more interested.

"Oh, Hershey Sprinkle, I know of her, I've been to her dreams on a few occasions, so what did you two talk about?"Luna asked again while Danny chuckled at the princesses curiosity.

"Well... She was happy that I saved her from those colts, and she...kissed me, I thought it was gross,"Danny said as he rubbed at his cheek while Luna just giggled at him.

"Oh that is so typical of boys your age, your first kiss from a girl and next thing you know you think you have cooties or something, so it appears that you made yet another friend,"Luna pointed out as Danny looked to her before giggling as well.

"I guess so... She was actually hoping that maybe we could see each other again in the park some time,"Danny answered much more to Luna's interest.

"The n how about this weekend we do just that, I would love to see you playing and making friends with others,"Luna offered.

"So... We can go to the park again?!"Danny asked with excitement.

"We sure can Danny, but for now it appears that breakfast is serve,"Luna said as they both looked to the door just as they opened.

As the door to Luna's room magically opened, two waiters and the chef arrived through the doors with a tray of food for Danny and Luna to share, a table was even laid out for them in front of the bed along with a chair just for Danny, but that was not the only surprise he got. After another moment, princess Celestia and even prince Blue Blood suddenly made their way into the bedroom, and Celestia let out a sigh of relief as she saw Danny with Luna once again.

"Danny...! It is so nice to see you back home!"Celestia announced as Danny noticed Celestia right away.

"Celestia...! I missed you so much,"Danny said as he got off the bed and hugged Celestia's leg."I'm sorry I ran away from you all, I promise it won't happen again."

"Indeed it won't, because now you will have all of us to help guide you toward a life of peace and happiness, as Luna said before, we are your family now, and we will help you to stay away from the same dark path as your father,"Celestia said as she gradually hugged the child back.

"I know... I have an aunt Celestia, Luna's my mom, and... Blue Blood's my cousin,"Danny said as he looked over to prince Blue Blood who was standing at the entrance of Luna's room.

Danny slowly walked over and held onto a small smile as he approached the prince, Blue Blood was a bit surprise to see Danny approaching him like this after the bad blood the two of them had, and to see this boy no longer seeing him as an enemy was astonishing and even a bit unbelievable. Finally as Danny approached Blue Blood and stood there for a moment before slowing lifting his head to the prince and smiling, he no longer saw Blue Blood as a jerk, he now some him as a cousin, and a friend.

"Blue Blood...? I just want to say... Thanks for helping me, I don't know what I would have done without you,"Danny said as Blue Blood let out a sigh and smiled back.

"Think nothing of it child, a prince should not allow his own family to suffer and endure such problems on their own, what kind of stallion would I be if I didn't-"Blue Blood started before he felt his leg get hugged by the boy.

"It doesn't matter now, we're cousins now, and we're friends now right?"Danny asked as Blue Blood couldn't help but to forget his composure and hugged Danny with both arms.

"Yes... We are indeed... Friends,"Blue Blood answered much to the delight of the princesses.

"My goodness, I can't believe what I am seeing, Blue Blood has actually changed,"Celestia said to Luna as they watched the two hugging it out.

"I couldn't have found Danny without his help, perhaps there is still hope for Blue Blood yet, and Danny looks like he could possibly show him the way,"Luna said as both Blue Blood and Danny parted from their hug and walked back over.

Danny had only enough time to sit on the edge of the bed before the waiters surrounded him and immediately wrapped a white cloth around his neck once again before bringing the tray to him and removing the lid to reveal four bowls of cereal. Danny took up a spoon that was right next to his bowl and began to eat while the three members of royalty took up their spoons with their magic and ate calmly with Danny as a whole family.

Danny enjoyed the fresh bit of cereal he ate, but nothing was more pleasing to the child than the fact that he was now eating with his new family, he had always wished for a real family that he could love and cherish and never have fears of after all the pain he had endured, after all the abuse he had to take from his father for quite some time, he was now in a safe place away from all that pain and despair, he had a cousin, and aunt, and most importantly, he had a mother.

"This is delicious, I'm glad we could all eat together,"Danny said while eating more of his cereal.

"This is a lot more fun now that there is no more animosity between any of us isn't it?"Luna agreed as did Celestia and Blue Blood."So Danny, what would you like to do for today once we're done here?"

"Well... Maybe, could we possibly go for another fly around the castle?"Danny asked as he was almost finished with his cereal."Can we please... Mom?"

"Why of course we can, I'll even go a bit easier so you don't get scared,"Luna said as she saw Danny finish his bowl of cereal.

Danny waited patiently for every pony else to finish with their break fast, he kicked his legs a little bit as he saw Blue Blood finish his bowl first, and Celestia was then the next one to finish, and now all that was left was Luna. It was only a minute more before Luna was then finished with her breakfast, and that became the signal for Danny to get off the bed and wait for her as she and the rest of the group got off the bed, the servants were more than willing to clean up the mess for them as Luna quickly followed Danny over to the door.

She kindly opened it for him and ran with Danny out of the bedroom with Celestia and Blue Blood following them from afar, they kept their distance and gave the new mother and son time to themselves to bond and have a little fun. Blue Blood himself for the first time in his life in a long time couldn't help but feel a bit happy for his aunt Luna, after all this time, he never thought he could gain a cousin who understood him the way Danny does, and Celestia herself could not believe how much Blue Blood was changing right before her eyes.

They both watched as Luna levitated the child onto her back and they both went on a little adventure to find the nearest balcony they could use for take off, and the fun they were having was warming Celestia's heart. To see her little sister now a mother of a child, and a very good mother in her opinion, Luna had grown up, and was now happier as she ever thought possible. It was then that Luna and Luna had found themselves a balcony to use and ran out onto it. Celestia and Blue Blood themselves joined the two out on it and stood there to see them off on their little trip.

"So... Are you ready Danny?"Luna asked as she sprouted her wings out.

"I sure am, let's do this mom,"Danny said as Luna gladly complied.

It was at that moment that Luna bent her knees down and narrowed her vision at the sky before suddenly leaping straight into the sky, Danny held on as tight as he could as he felt the wind and the clouds blow through his hair. He looked back and could see Celestia and Blue Blood waving to both of them and shrinking as they flew higher and higher into the sky, he then felt the warmth of the sun as well as the cool breeze of the clouds.

It was then that Luna spread her wings further and slowed her flight as they came out of the clouds and were soaring above the sky, Danny could see the entire sun before him, and it seemed to shine brighter than it ever did before. Danny felt so free, he cheered and hollered with the sky as he felt larger than life, so many good things happening to him right now, and there was so much he still had left to know and do in his new world, and in his new home.

"Hey mom...? How much more do you think is out there?"Danny asked as he bravely released his grip on Luna and looked out over a clearing in the sky.

"I... Do not know Danny, but I do know of many places that I am certain we will be able to visit in due time my child, this is your whole new world now Danny, this is your new home,"Luna said as she too felt the need to look out over the massive and beautiful world of Equestria.

"And now I have a new family to explore it with,"Danny said smiling at Luna as he hugged her neck.

"Yes... You have a new home... And a new family... My son,"Luna said as they enjoyed their flight together as mother and son. Next Chapter: Ch.17 Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 50 Minutes
