Pranks and a Griffon (Un-Edited)

Solar sat with his arm around Twilight. His wife had a book in her hand and he also was reading, but one his mental books. Art was in her room drawing in her new sketch books and Night was snuggled up to Solar napping away. Since she was a bat, she still liked to spend her nights doing things and her mornings napping. Solar was happy that one of his daughters was a night owl. But Art also impressed him, since she liked to sleep in as well.

"Do you think it is a good idea to let her sleep for so long?" Asked Twilight

"Awe come on Twilight, she cute when she naps. They don't start school for a couple more weeks. Not mentioning she loves the night more than she loves the morning." Said Solar closing his book

"Solar, talking about school, we still need to go to it. We haven't even started to register the girls for it." Said Twilight

"Don't worry after Spike comes back, I'll take him and the girls and will go to the school." Said Solar

"Mom and dad, look what I drew." Said Art

Art brought over her sketch pad over and inside was a blue bird. Twilight smiled at her daughter's work. Solar still couldn't believe her ability. He had tried to understand how she is able to do it, but gave up on it. He just knew his daughter was special and that was all he had to know.

"That's great Art." Said Solar

"Thanks dad, it took me a little more time. I never got to draw birds at the orphanage." Said Art

Soon the door opened and Spike came walked in. He gave off a hiccup as a little of his magic flame came up with it. He went to the kitchen and Night slowly woke up and gave off a cute yawn. Then Solar got a package from his mother. He opened it to find a bunch of blank rolled up scrolls from Mayor Mare. Spike then came back drinking a glass of water. Solar then pulled out a small note from his mother.

Tell Spike that I gladly return these to him. Also please limit letters to at least two a day and not a hundred at once.

"Um, minding explaining why my mother is sending us a hundred or so blank scrolls." Said Solar

"Sorry, I was getting those scrolls when Pinkie and Dash attacked me with a prank. They used a cloud to make a bolt of lightening to scare me. I then began to hiccuping and then started to send those to Celestia. Sorry if Celestia is mad with you Solar." Said Spike

"I'll just send my mother a letter to tell her the truth." Said Solar

"I don't like where this is going to go." Said Twilight

"Please Twilight a few harmless pranks won't hurt anypony." Said Solar finishing his letter and sending it to his mother.

"I know pranks can be harmless, I'm just saying that Dash and Pinkie might try to prank you and knowing you, you can't be pranked." Said Twilight

"You can't be." Said Spike

"That's right, no pony can prank me. Well expect my mother and she has never once been pranked and I do mean 'never'." Said Solar

"So your mother can prank you, but she can't be pranked and not even by you. Plus you can only be pranked by your mother." Said Spike

"That's right Spike, but I will get her one day." Said Soler sending the letter.

"Well now that Spike is back and Night is awake, you have a school to see." Said Twilight

"School." Said Art

"Yes, you two are going to get an education now. There is a nice school here in Ponyville and the teacher is also very nice." Said Solar

"Do we really have to go?" Asked Night

"Sorry Night, but yes. But I think you will like it. You have to get out and meet ponies and make friends. Not everypony is mean, Night." Said Solar

"I guess." Said Night

"Well Spike you ready to go out." Said Solar getting up and stretching out his body.

"Well as long as Dash and Pinkie don't prank me again." Said Spike

"You two ready." Said Solar

"Yeah dad." Said Art

"I know I can do this, so yes." Said Night

"Then out we go." Said Solar

***

Solar and Spike walked with Art and Night to the school house. A few ponies stopped and looked at the group. Art was skipping happily ahead of her father and uncle. But Night kept close to her father. Ponies were whispering to themselves about seeing Night. Solar just tapped her head and pushed her to walk with her sister. Night looked around, but no pony attacked her, but smiled and waved at her. She waved back and began to settle down. Solar smiled as Night was settled down.

Soon they were met with a sneezing Rarity. She was rubbing her nose to stop it, but she kept on sneezing. She smiled as she ran up to Solar. She then had a sneezing fit and Solar and Spike tried to block it. Art and Night kept behind their father.

"Rarity, what's wrong with you?" Asked Spike

"I'm sneezing that's what's wrong. I was hoping you could help." Said Rarity sneezing again.

"Rarity, I know medical magic, but the common cold can't be healed with magic." Said Solar

"No Rainbow and Pinkie pranked me with a set of flowers. Inside the flowers was sneezing powder. I can't seem to stop. I was hoping you could help me get over it." Said Rarity

"Well I can do that, now hold still." Said Solar

He formed his magic around his hand and touched her snout. Then it was over and Rarity could feel the urge to sneeze no longer. She then hugged Solar and Solar looked to see Spike raise any eyebrow to him.

"Thank you Solar darling, you really know how to help a friend in need. Where are you four heading off to?" Said Rarity

"To sign up Night and Art for this year's school year." Said Solar

"Oh how nice. I have a sister named Sweetie Belle who goes to the school. If you ever need a friend, she is a great one to have. Now I have to get back to work and oh Solar, I'm almost down with your daughters' clothing. I'll give them to Twilight when I see here." Said Rarity

"Thanks again, Rarity." Said Solar

"No problem darling." Said Rarity

The gang kept walking forward as they headed towards the school. But they ran into Pinkie and Rainbow. They were laughing at the top of their lungs. They could see Rainbow had a black ring around her eye.

"Well you two look happy." Said Solar

"Yeah and how you doing Spike." Said Rainbow calming down

"I'm fine now after getting some water. But I'm done with you two." Said Spike

"So who else did you two prank?" Asked Art

"Well Art, your mom with invisible ink and Applejack, when we painted all her apples." Said Pinkie

"Now that is impressive." Said Solar

"Yeah, so what are you four doing out." Said Dash

"Taking Night and Art to get ready for school." Said Solar

"Well have nice time, I have to dash." Said Dash

She shot off into the sky and Pinkie said goodbye before bouncing off. Solar sighed as they kept walking to the school house.

***

Soon the group reached the school house. It was nice one story school house. It was red in color and had a nice bell tower on top of it. Solar walked up with the girls and Spike. He knocked on the door and a mare opened it. Her coat was a cerise color and her mane was light rose with an even lighter streak going through it. She had harlequin colored eyes. She had a cutie mark of three smiling sunflowers on her hand. She was wearing a light button up shirt with a pink shirt and suit coat. She smiled as she saw Solar.

"I guess your Solar Flare, I mean Prince Solar Flare." Said the mare bowing to him.

"Please Solar is fine. I only like the word 'prince' when I have royal duties. Also, this is Spike, my brother." Said Solar

"Nice to meet you." Said Spike shacking the mare's hand

"Nice to meet you to and who are these two lovely fillies." Said the mare

"This one is Art Paint, but Art is how she likes to be called." Solar ruffling her mane. "The other is Night Glow." Solar pointed to his bat daughter, who was hiding behind his father's leg.

"Well nice to meet you both, I'm Mrs. Cheerilee. I'm the teacher here." Said Cheerilee

"Nice to meet you." Said Art

"Well your not shy are you." Said Cheerilee

"Nope, I love to meet new ponies as long as they like me." Said Art with a smile

"Now it's also nice to meet you." Said Cheerilee holding out her hand.

Solar gave a gently push to Night. She swallowed as she took Cheerilee's hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you."

"Well I can say it will be a pleasure teach my first bat student. Now Solar, if come with me, we can finish that paper work." Said Cheerilee

"That would be nice, Spike you don't mind watching them." Said Solar

"Hey no problem, I should start to get to know my nieces a little more." Said Spike

"Well enjoy the playground, I won't keep your father long." Said Cheerilee

Solar followed Cheerilee as Spike took the girls to the play ground. Once inside the school, Cheerilee pulled out some paper work for Solar. She gave him a quill and he began to go through it. Cheerilee looked out at the girls as they played. She then looked at Solar as he went through the paper work.

"Tell me, is Art able to see." Said Cheerilee

"No Art is actually totally blind. Though from birth or by a accident, I and Twilight aren't sure. We have filed everything and are about to get both Art's and Night's medical records. So until then we aren't sure." Said Solar continuing to sign away.

"But she acted like she could see me. She also acts like she doesn't need help." Said Cheerilee

"Well she doesn't, Art actually emits some kind of magical field. This field acts as her sight. I also think the field works even better with her hearing amplified." Said Solar

"How so?" Asked Cheerilee

"Well she twitches both her ears at certain times. I think she is able to use the field and her ear twitching to give her an ability to see. Though my not to sure about it. I have decided to stop trying to theorize why my daughter is special and know she is special." Said Solar

"What can you tell me about Night?" Asked Cheerilee

"Well she is a bat that just wants to be loved. She was abandoned when she was five by her parents, who are clearly missing from the face of Equis. Next she is scared that ponies will push her away and bully her because of the fact that she is a bat pony. Though she is a smart girl. Would you like to hear her play?" Said Solar

"She plays instruments." Said Cheerilee

"Yeah, they both got already have their cutie marks. Night can play any classical instrument, though I'm teaching her guitar and Art is an amazing painter. She actually can make you feel the picture she has created." Said Solar

"Well your in luck, we actually have a piano at our stage. Bring Night by, I would love to hear her play." Said Cheerilee

"Sure, I'll just grab a few other ponies and see you there. I think this would be a great a way for Night to get more comfortable. And it looks like I'm done with the paper work." Said Solar

Cheerilee picked it up and began to skim through it. "Well it does, now Night and Art might be a little behind since I'm unsure what they learned while in the orphanage."

"No problem, I and Twilight can tutor them if we have to." Said Solar

"Well then I'll see them in a few weeks and see you at the stage." Said Cheerilee

"See you then, to." Said Solar

He went outside and gather up the girls. They laughed as they headed back to the house. Cheerilee smiled at Solar and his daughters. Those girls are very lucky to have father like him. She closed her door and began to get ready for the school year.

***

"I'm not to sure about this dad." Said Night

"Don't worry honey, you do what you feel like you can. Everypony will understand if you feel uncomfortable with this." Said Solar

"No dad, I know I can do this." Said Night

"Then play with that passion." Said Solar smiling at her.

Solar left the stage leaving his daughter alone. The stage was in an open part of Ponyville. Solar had invited the girls and Cheerilee to watch. Some ponies passed, but didn't pay much attention to them. Soon enough Night came out and rubbed her arm. She looked over to the piano and walked over. She then got herself ready to play. She took a gulp as she calmed herself down. She placed her hands on the keys and knew the song she wanted to play. Then the area was filled with music.

They all just listened as Night began to play the song. She knew every key that she had to play. The song was fluent and Night was hitting every beat on point. Night even had her eyes closed as she played away. Everypony was impressed with her skills of playing the piano. Some ponies stopped as they heard the music and went over and began to sit down and watch Night play away.

"Art have you ever heard this song?" Asked Solar

"Yeah, she's been working on it for days. She called it Fires of Revolution. She said it was a fast tempo song and I can see why. Though Night never misses a beat. She can play a song without even looking at the keyboard. She never fears making a mistake. That's why I became her friend and now her sister." Said Art

"Simple beautiful darling, that is one skilled bat." Said Rarity

"Yeah and the music also seems to paint a picture in your mind." Said Cheerilee

"Amazing don't you think, Solar." Said Twilight

"Yeah and she is our daughter. I can already see her name in lights." Said Solar

"Dreaming big for our daughters." Said Twilight

"Well somepony has to." Said Solar

"I guess so." Said Twilight

They continued to watch Night. Night opened an eye to see ponies gathering and watching her. She started to feel nervous, but then she saw her family. They all had smiling faces, which made her smile. She quickly calmed down and continue to play with her heart. She didn't care how many ponies came to see her, she would play like only her family and friends were there. I know I can do this. I'm not afraid of what anypony thinks of me. I'm loved and that is all that matters. She continued to play away.

"Awesome!" Said Dash

Soon enough Night began to play the final few beats of her song. Then she ended with a sigh as the music came to an end. She opened her eyes and got up. She looked at the crowd and they began to cheer for her. She was amazed that ponies were cheering for her. She closed her eyes and took a bow for everypony.

Solar smiled as he looked at his daughter so happy. That's my girl, take it all in. Solar looked at all the ponies that came out. Now this is how it should be. Solar was soon caught off guard as his daughter flew into him. He laughed as he caught her. He ran his hand through her mane as she was in his arms.

"That was amazing Night and even flying a little, well your full of talent." Said Solar

"Come on dad, I could always fly." Said Night

"I know honey." Said Solar

Twilight came over and kissed her on the head. She then hugged Twilight. After a while ponies thanked Night for the performance. Then Cheerilee said her goodbyes and told she would be seeing Art and Night soon. Then Twilight, Solar and Spike said their goodbyes as they took Art and Night home for the night. Their friends said goodbye and also left for their own homes.

***

"So Pinkie's throwing a party for some kind of griffon." Said Solar

"Yeah, I guess she is. I'm not to sure why, but I guess to help her make friends. She came in, but I wasn't really paying attention when she was talking." Said Twilight

"Well I did see Pinkie come falling from the sky in some kind of flying machine. She said something about a griffon. Then I saw Rainbow with some kind of griffon. Though why she is here is strange to me." Said Solar

"How so?" Asked Twilight

"Well Griffonstone and Equestria don't have a strong standing. Sure we have a peace treaty between each other, but we are still on edge. The griffons are the masters when it comes to airships. Though we do have ways to bringing them down, Griffonstone still rules the sky. Not mentioning the allies that the griffons have. If attacked, Equestria would have to deal with the Minus army and possibly the Zebrica army. Though we do have have allies in the foxes of Fopan and the wolves of Wolfca. I don't really feel right with a griffon around, since I am the prince of this country. A griffon could easily make me attack and start a war between six nations." said Solar

"I don't understand you Solar sometimes. You can turn a modest talk into a talk about war." Said Twilight

"Well what can I say, I am a soldier." Said Solar with a smile

"Hey you two ready for the party." Said Spike

"Yeah, but wait who is going to watch the girls." Said Twilight

"Easy Twilight, you guys go ahead. I'm going to take the girls to the park. You two have fun." Said Solar

"You're really not going." Said Spike

"Between you and me, I think I'll keep my distance from that griffon. I've heard a few stories from the local ponies about her. I think it wouldn't be a good idea if I didn't get involved in something like her." Said Solar

"Well if you say so honey, but do have a good time with the girls." Said Twilight

"Hey we will, right girls." Said Solar

Night and Art came out. They smiled and nodded at Twilight and Spike. Twilight smiled and kissed her husband on the cheek. Spike waved goodbye to them as they left.

"I don't get it daddy, why didn't you want to go. Isn't Pinkie Pie a friend." Said Art

"Yes but between us girls, I needed a little time away from your mom. Plus what daughter doesn't want to spend a day with their father." Said Solar

***

Solar sat on a bench watching his daughters, while they played on the playground. Then he watched as a griffon took a seat next to him. She had a brown fur covering body and her wings were brown colored to. Her head was a white color with feathers coming over her face. The ends were tipped light purple. She also had light purple color around her eyes which were amber in color. Then her talons were a gold color. She was wearing a black cut off t-shirt that showed off her black sports bra. She also had a pair of jean shorts.

"Let me guess, your the griffon friend of Rainbow Dash." Said Solar

"And your Prince Solar Flare." Said the griffon

"Correct on that, so what's your name?" Asked Solar

"Gilda." She said

"Well you already know who I am, so whatcha doing out here Gilda." Said Solar

"Just trying to find a place to chill." Said Gilda

"By the way your acting, it is almost like you lost something dear to you." Said Solar looking at her.

"So what if I did." Said Gilda

"Well I just kind of find it interesting that you come out to find me. No pony comes out looking for the prince of Equestria unless they want a pony to talk to." Said Solar

"Well I wasn't looking for somepony to talk to and how do you know I was looking for you." Said Gilda

"Well a lot of ponies know I listen to any problem they have. I can tell in your voice, you want to get something off that chest of yours. Let me try to guess it." Solar bent over and thought it over. "By the way your acting, you are regretting something. The sound in your voice tells me that you feel sad. The way you sit tells me you don't know whether to leave or stay and tell me. So what is it."

"Why should I even tell you." Said Gilda

"The fact you came looking for me. There is no doubt that you have been looking for me." Said Solar

Gilda sighed as a few tears came down her eyes. Solar looked at her and patted her on the back.

"You don't have to say a word. Your emotions tell the whole story for me." Said Solar

"Well you got the wrong griffon pal. I'm out of here." Said Gilda

She took off as Night and Art came up to Solar. He looked to the sky as she flew away.

"Who was she dad." Said Night

"Just some one looking for somepony to listen to her. So you girls ready to get going." Said Solar getting up

They nodded and he picked them up. He placed Art over his shoulder and let Night sit on his shoulder. He then began to walk, but looked to the sky where Gilda had flown off. I think I'll be seeing that griffon again some time. Solar looked straight ahead as he just kept walking back to the house.

***

After putting the girls to bed, Solar got the whole story of Twilight's day. He now understood what had happened to Gilda. He then told Twilight about when Gilda came to see him.

"Well you think she'll be back." Said Twilight

"I'm not sure when, but we will be seeing her again." Said Solar

"Well I'm done with my report for Celestia and Spike went to bed, so I was hoping you could send this for me. Plus this ink well with it." Said Twilight

Solar took both and using his fire to send it to his mother. He then grabbed Twilight as they went upstairs to their room.

"Wait, why did you make me send that ink well." Said Solar

"Easy, you just pranked your mother." Said Twilight winking at him.

"The invisible ink, you sly mare." Said Solar

Solar slapped her ass and she squeaked at it. She then gave Solar a deep passionate kiss as they entered their bedroom and Twilight placed up the sound proofing spell, so no pony could hear their fun time.

***

Celestia read over her students message and then began to write a letter back, but when she began to write, the letters were disappearing. She then saw that it was invisible ink. She laughed to herself, her son had actually finally pranked her. She then used her magic to pull over a chalk board. Nice one son, but you have a long way to go to even beat your mother. Celestia marked one mark for her son on his side. While on Celestia's side was over a fifty tick marks and Solar had only the one. She then set it down and pulled out a real ink well and began to write her letter back and plot her next prank against her son.

Author's Notes:

So this took a while to finish up, but it is done. I know Gilda wasn't in it as much as the episode. But she will have a personal episode with Solar later on. So you will see her much later on in the series. I hope you enjoyed it.

Comment, like, follow, share and tell. Now for all those who have begun to read this chapter and haven't read my third and newest story, but sorry it will be in the works. I have decided to change the first chapter and make it a little different. I will be posting it by tomorrow. I now lower the curtain on this episode of Solar Son.
