Previous Chapter Next ChapterCanterlot...
Meetings are always stressful for Celestia, the nobles talk about many things like nearby allies, internal affairs and many things of the nobility ring. Her mind would always be overwhelmed but as soon as she enters her quarters she sees her little colt Dago.
The young colt was Celestia in an ironic sense her sun, she loved him and always will.
"Oh hey mom, how was the meeting?" He asks smiling
"Stressful, though I noticed something about Queen Saphiro, she has another filly on the way." She says smiling
"Really? Hey that's great, I bet she must be really happy. Do you think she'll let me touch her belly?" Dago asks with a smile
"Well Helena and you have been friends for a year now I think she'll be comfortable by now."
"Oh that is right? I haven't seen Helena since I started school, I wonder how she is doing? Do you think she start school as well?" He asks
"Of course, she's going to a private school back in her home city. She's a rather smart little filly."
"But not as smart as you mom." Dago says as he hugs Celestia.
"Thank you sweetheart." She mentions with a smile
"Hey maybe I could show her to Soarin and Spitfire, I'm sure Spitfire will love to see a real princess."
"That would be sweet, but Helena left with her mother just a few hours they won't be visiting for quite awhile."
"Awww man I miss my chance again. I hope Helena isn't too mad at me"
"She's too busy with her little sister to be, but you'll see her again. It won't be the last time the two of you meet." Celestia mentions with a giggle
"Please let me know when she does, I want to apologize. Do you think she will like jewelry? Uncle Giblitz says that all mares loves that." Celestia smiled as she heard her personal servant's name, he was there ever since she became pregnant with Dago always being there for her and never hating the fact that he had to attend to her.
"She has enough jewelry for herself, I don't think she needs more." She mentions
"Aww pony feathers! Oh maybe I could buy her a puppy, fillies like puppies right?" He asks with a perky smile.
"Puppies are a big responsibility. And I don't think she'd need one." Sighing he collapses on the ground with frustration.
"Aww man why fillies are so complicated." He pouts before he snaps his fingers. "I know I'll bake her a cake, you always love it when I bake one for you right mom?"
"I don't think so, it'll take weeks for it to be delivered." She mentions
"Ok, I'm out of ideas, please help." He says begging for help.
"What about a present like a plushy." Celestia suggests
"A plushy? Yeah! A plushy, yeah that can be it. She likes monkeys I can send her a plushy as an apology gift!" He says smiling
"Of course it'll be precious."
"Great, I will go buy right now." He started to run towards the door, but just as he does Celestia stops him with a frown.
"Whoa there little boy, you can't just leave its late." She mentions.
"Oh but mom!"
"No buts, you can't just leave when you want." She says with her hands on her hips
"Awww! I only wanted to buy Helena something nice."
"Later tomorrow morning I promise."
"Ok, can I have a story before going to bed?"
"Of course sweetheart."
Next Morning...
"Come on mom!" Dago shouts while he enters the store at full speed.
"Go easy young man we have plenty of time."
"But if we don't hurry they might run out of plushies." He trirs to run but Celestia took his hand as an employee approached them.
"Hi welcome to Colt Ahoys, may I help you with something?" The mare asks with a smile.
"We're looking a plushie for a princess!" Dago mentions with a smile as the confused mare looked at Celestia.
"Oh yes he's talking about a friend, she's quite the little princess." Celestia happily mentions
"Oh! Now I get it." The mare giggles and looks at Dago. "Does this princess have any favorite animal?"
"She loves monkeys!"
"Oh she does? Come this way, we have lots of options for plushie monkeys." She guides them towards the monkeys, as both Celestia and Dago follow.
"Why did you lie mom?" He asks
"I had to, no one can know not yet at least." She informs with a sigh.
"Not even about Helena?"
"Of course not."
"Wow, so much secrets. I think I need to start a list, mom, nobody can't know about uncle Giblitz either?"
"Not until you're old enough for ponies to become comfortable with you and this is the end of the discussion."
"But I…"
"No more."
"Pick whoever you like" The employee says with a smile as Dago goes directly for the biggest one that was 4 times his own body size. "Hey mom! What about this one? I think she will love this one a lot…" he couldn't finish the sentence because of the monkey falling on top of him and bringing him to the ground
"I think that one is perfect for her, let me help you up sweetheart." Celestia says with a smile
"Hmmm it smells like strawberries"
"Strawberry Jumbo Jim, a favorite between the fans of the franchise." The employee approaches Celestia and whispers into her ear. "It's also very expensive, are you sure you want that one miss? I could recommend a cheaper one if you want."
"Every bit is worth it." She says smiling.
"If that's what you wish." They both hear a thud and see the monkey falling on Dago again. "Mom, little help?"
"Your son really must like that filly." She says with a giggle
"They've been friends forever I don't think anything would change that." Celestia mentions
"Its always adorable seeing young friendship." The mare approach and levitated the plushy. "Here let me help you with that, honey."
"Thank you miss."
"Miss? My, my someone has manners."
"Aha mom always say that you always be polite and respectful to any pony if you want to be respected." Dago mentions
"Well she sure sounds like a really wise mare, maybe she could be the princess next advisor." The cashier jokes as she walk away leaving a confused Dago. "How can she advice herself?"
"You do realize I do have an advisor, though he's growing a little older I might have to find a new one." Celestia mentions
"Awww he will be filling sad when he hears the news, oh I know maybe we should throw him a party so he knows how much he meant to you, what do you think mom?"
"He knows about his impending retirement he actually filed it to me. Anyway enough talk about royal duty."
"Well of what do you want to talk then?" Dago say as they exit the shop
"Hmmm have you asked your friends if they'd like to spend the night. You haven't even bothered inviting them."
"Well that is because you told me they can't find out about you being my mom." Dago say looking down in sadness
"They've been friends with you for a long time, they're ready to know. I'm sure."
"You mean I can show them my wings?" He asks with excitement revealing his hidden wings in public
"Yes but to them only. And one more thing, do you trust them enough to say something about yourself?"
"Something about myself?" He looks at her confused. "Something like what?"
"Do you trust them enough to give them your secret, are you confident they won't say anything." He nods and puts his hand on his heart.
"I do, I know them and know they will never betray my trust"
"Very well invite them and show them your secret."
"Oh! Can I show you first? I know how much Spitfire admires you"
"If you'd like it can be a slumber party."
"What a slumber party? Is it something you can eat?"
"No, a party where your friends spend the night at your home and have many sorts of fun."
"Oh I like that idea, and would you be joining us?"
"I'd be busy with paperwork, but when I have time I'll try to drop in." She says smiling
"Okay…oh uncle Giblitz can come too?"
"If you'd like, it's your decision."
"Got it I'll keep it in mind, I can't wait to tonight! this is going to be so great."
Later...
"Well what'd you think?" Dago asks as he had brought his two friends to his home.
"You live here? Are you like the princess's advisor son?" Soarin asks
"Something like that, we're going to throw him goodbye party very soon."
"Hi Almond Breezie!" Dago approach her "How are you doing? Ah…you aren't feeling bad again right?" He asks her with some concern.
"Hello there Dago, and don't worry my little filly is fine. I may have to leave in a few weeks to prepare for her arrival." She says with a soft giggle.
"Take as much time as you need Almond, your well being always come first. May I?" He asks
"Go ahead." She says smiling, Dago got closer and put the palm of his hand on her belly.
"Hello little one, I hope you're ready, because very soon you will be born, and when you do, you'll have lots of friends, and a really kind and beautiful mommy, be sure to be nice to her okay." Just as he was about to remove his hand he felt a soft bump scaring him slightly.
"I felt something, is something wrong?" He asks with worry.
"She's just saying hi to you." She mentions with a smile
"Oh well hello to you too little one, I hope in the future we can be good friends." Looking back at Almond he smiles.
"Take care of yourself miss Almond." Breezie smiles and nods before going back to work. As they all walked away from Almond, Dago turns to his friends smiling a bit.
"Sorry, I saw one of my friends working and wanted to see how she's doing." Dago gets closer to Spitfire and whispers. "She's pregnant"
"Really I didn't notice." She says jokingly giving him a deadpan look.
"Ok my mistake." He chuckles and awkwardly rubs his head blushing as he does.
"I got it! Your mom is one of the maids right? And her brother is that Giblitz guy who is a butler right?" Soarin says snapping his finger. Dago only looks to the side with a grin.
"Maybe." He says chuckling
"That would be a really close maid to Celestia if that's true." Spitfire mentions
"Oh you will see." Once there Soarin gets a little confused and slightly frightened seeing the abundance of guards near a door that looked well guarded.
"Uh Dago, that's the princess's room." He mentions
"I know, my mom's inside."
"what?!" Soarin looks at him with even more fear as he opened the door and not wasting time kneeling in front of Celestia as Dago had opened the door.
"Your holiness, I've brought you your guests." Dago jokes barely containing his snickers.
"I see it seems that your friends fear me." Celestia mentions as she looks away from them.
"W-we're sorry if we're disappointments as guests." Spitfire says in fear. Dago couldn't hold it and began laughing.
"S-sorry I just couldn't keep this up." He says holding his sides.
"Dago! That's the princess, show more respect!" Soarin harshly whisper at him as started sweating bullets.
"You're right Soarin." He stands up and walks over to Celestia. "Sorry for laughing…mom."
"Mom!?" Soarin's jaw hit the floor the moment he hears that.
"It's okay sweetheart, if I acted so high and mighty any longer I thought I would burst." She mentions with a giggle.
"Your highness, Dago is your son?" Spitfire asks
"Mom could you…you know show them." Dago points at her horn to indicate the removal the cloaking spell she had placed on him. Smiling she points her horn at him. A bright light made the two foals cover their eyes and as they did they looked to see Dago back to his original form as an Alicorn.
"Does that answer your question?" He says smirking as he crosses his arms. Soarin only fainted at the show, leaving Spitfire in complete awe.
Dago knew he could trust those two, they were his best friends and always would be.
