Trouble in Paradise (Re-Edited)

It had nearly a month since the passing of Doctor Heart Pulse. Celestia had canceled court to deal with the grief. But this time, she wasn't alone. Celestia had to help her son grieve and that, in turn, helped her grieve. She was able to get Solar to talk about it. Celestia was happy she had somepony to be with, even if it was her son. She quickly recovered and told her son that he would too, in time. Celestia also said time heals all wounds. Even though she knew it wasn't always easy, it helped her son out. He was just seven going on eight. It was a great way to help her son out. Now with Pulse's death, it made her more uneasy about revealing her son.

While Stonewall and Pulse dealt with Solar, Celestia went off to her school. When she made it into the exam room, she found something amazing. A young filly about her son's age. She was using a massive amount of magic. She could see all that she did. She still wondered if this Sonic Rainboom had anything to do with it. But she was able to calm down the filly and return everything back to normal. She was so amazed by the filly. She had to teach her personally. But then she remembered that her son was her student. But Solar was her son. She decided to take the unicorn under her wing. Of course, she quickly learned that the filly was from one of her ex-Special Force's operative, Night Light.

She hadn't started training, because of the death of Doctor Pulse. She wanted to be there for her son. She felt it was a critical time in their relationship as mother and son, though she was wondering how Solar would take the news that she would be spending her time with a filly and training her. She wasn't sure if Solar would become jealous, but she knew she wanted to train this filly. Plus she kind of thought that her son could use a friend his age. Even though he was friends to many of the guards, she felt he needed a pony his age was a good idea. So Twilight was a perfect match, though she had another idea in her head. She was also thinking of her son's future mare, her daughter-in-law. She thought that Twilight looked cute and could look good for Solar, but whoever her son chose. She would be happy for him.

The day had finally come to have Solar meet her new student. Though she hadn't told why Solar had to report, in his uniform, to the throne room. She wanted to make sure that Twilight's family meet her son before she started to train Twilight in her castle since she didn't want any concerns with her son hurting their daughter. Though she knew, Solar would never dare put a hand on any subject. She had taught him that a ruler loves all his subjects. She also taught him a prince never hurts a mare. She especially put a firm tone on her last statement. Her son quickly understood and promised never to hurt a mare.

"Well, why am I here?" Asked Solar

"You will see in time Solar. Plus you look handsome again." Said Celestia

He blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Come on mommy, don't make me blush."

She giggled at his antics. "Now be on your best behavior. These are the first ponies to see you outside this castle. But don't worry son, they will keep you secret until your tenth birthday."

"Yes, mommy." He said

Soon a guard came in and bowed to the young prince and princess. "The Sparkles have come. Should I let them in."

"Yes, sir guard and then leave us." Said Celestia

"Yes, princess." He said

The guard left and quickly opened the door. He then motioned for a family to enter. The family slowly came in. Solar instantly recognized the stallion. It was the one mommy had called a private meeting with when Pulse died. But the two mares, he hadn't seen. The first he thought was probably the mother. She had a gray coat with a purple and white striped mane. Her eyes were an arctic blue color. She was also a unicorn. Her cutie mark was three stars. She was wearing a simple white dress.

Then Solar's eyes widened when he saw the filly unicorn standing next to her. She was easily his age. She had a violet coat with a sapphire, violet and rose streaked mane. She had violet eyes that seemed to pull Solar into them. She was also a unicorn like her parents. Her cutie mark was a star with five white points and five white stars around it. She had on a school girls uniform, which pulled Solar a little more into her. He was quickly blushing at her and had to take some quick breaths to stop showing it.

"I welcome you all to my castle. I know you know who I am. But this pony next to me is my son. He may not be a pony, but he is one to me." Said Celestia

"Yes I am, my name is Prince Solar Flare."

He bowed and when he came up, his nose was inches away from the nose of the filly. He could see the filly's beautiful eyes more. They are like looking into two amethyst jewels. They are so beautiful. He started to blush when he thought about those words. Why did I think that?

"Oh my gosh, Prince Solar I've never seen anything like you. What are you, a hairless monkey? No, you look more like a Minotaur. But you don't have any fur period expect for on your head. So what are you?" Said the filly

"Twilight get back down here." Said the mare

The filly looked back at her mother and sighed as he went back to her mother. They seemed to be having a nice chat. It gave Solar time to turn around and calm his blushing face. Celestia decided to speak with her son. She bent down to your child's level, even though she knew what was going on with him, though she wanted him to speak his mind.

"You ok, my son," she said ruffling his hair.

"I don't know mommy," he said holding his blushing face.

"I know what's going on with you." Said Celestia with a smooth face.

"What mommy?" Asked Solar

"You like her, don't you." Said Celestia

"What no, I...I don't." He said

She ruffled his hair and giggled. "It's ok to have a crush on somepony."

"I don't have a crush," said Solar crossing his arms.

"Alright, you don't. Now I should introduce these ponies to you." Said Celestia

Solar took a breath and calmed himself down. He turned around and stood like a well-trained guard. Celestia sighed to herself. She knew that Solar had a crush on her new student. Though Celestia would wait before, she pushed her son to tell his feelings. But she was happy her son might have found somepony interesting. Celestia did think Solar would probably like her. She giggled a little more. She then straightened herself up.

"Now, Solar this is the Sparkle family. I would like to introduce you to Twilight Velvet, a retired Theoretical Magic professor. Now she writes children books, many of which I have read to you. Next is Night Light, he used to be the major general for my Special Forces, but retired and now is an accountant. Last is their daughter, Twilight Sparkle. She will be here at the castle from time to time. She is my personal student." Said Celestia

Solar's eyes widened when he heard that. He couldn't believe what his ears heard. Or what his mother had just said. My mommy's taking a student. No, I can't have that. I have to stop this. I am the prince. He slowly started to feel his magic create his fire. He would use it if he had to, but he would try his words first.

"Now I think that introductions finished, I think the young ones should run along." Said Celestia

"No mother." Said Solar

"What?" Asked Celestia with a raised eyebrow

"No pony will be around my mother. I am her only son, so I will ask you to leave," said Solar standing in front of his mother.

"Solar this isn't like you." Said Celestia

"No pony will take her from me. So I will ask you again to leave and never return to this castle." Said Solar

Celestia quickly realized why he was speaking up. Solar believes that something is going to happen to me. He has stated that he will protect me. I think he thinks that Twilight will try to hurt me. I need to stop this before Solar hurts somepony. But before Celestia could speak up, Twilight spoke up, even though her mother was telling her not to. Solar, please don't do anything you'll regret or I will.

"You can't order us around. You aren't the ruler." Said Twilight

That struck a chord with Solar. "How dare you say that to your prince. I am to your ruler, maybe not today, but I will soon be. Now leave, or I will call my guards."

"Celestia picked me to be her student. I won't leave, and you can't make me." Said Twilight

Celestia watched with fear rising in her body. I was afraid of this. I wouldn't have been so frightened if Pulse hadn't died. But now he believes that he has to protect me to keep me around. He maybe a guard, but one that hasn't dealt with death yet. I need to stop this before. Celestia stopped when Twilight broke the last of Solar's patience.

"Leave this minute, last chance." Said Solar

"Or what, you aren't the princess son. You just some freak." Said Twilight

Solar shook at those words. He couldn't believe that she would say that Celestia wasn't his mommy. He knew he was different, but knew that Celestia was his mother. He had enough of this filly. She had come in and told him off. She had to pay and pay she would. He activated his aura and charged a sphere of magic around it. Twilight hadn't realized, and her father only watched in fear as he ran towards his daughter. Twilight opened her eyes, but it was too late. Solar was already in front of her.

"Solar no!" Screamed Celestia

"Twilight!" Screamed her parents

"This will teach you to speak back to your prince. Fire Ball Strike." Said Solar

He easily landed it on Twilight's chest. The instant it touched her, he released the magic. Energy surged through her body. A small explosion followed, and Twilight was sent flying. Her parents and the princess watched in horror as she smashed through the doors. Velvet ran towards her daughter. Celestia couldn't believe her eyes. Solar had attacked an innocent filly. He had broken everything she and Stonewall had taught him. Night Light dropped his pipe on the ground and put his hands in a fist.

"I knew you were a threat to this world. Now you have attacked my daughter for no reason. Now you will have to deal with me," said Night Light as he charged his aura.

"If you want to go, old man, then bring it on. No pony will hurt my mother. She is mine and mine only." He charged another sphere and rushed towards Night Light as he charged his own. The two ran into each other.

***

Stonewall walked with a file in his hand. He was looking over Solar's recent reports in his guard training. He smiled at the papers. Solar's training is coming along nicely. Well, the magic adoption to his body might be the main reason. But even that, he is looking like an excellent candidate for me to enter him into the captain program. I just hope Solar doesn't over react with Night Light's daughter being his mother's student. But I would be surprised if he hurt such a cute filly. I wouldn't be surprised if Solar started to have a crush on her. He chuckled a little. He stopped and handed the papers to a guard and told him to take them to his office. The guard saluted and went off.

He kept walking forward until he heard running in his halls. He saw Twilight Velvet running with tears running down her eyes. He quickly moved towards her.

"Mrs. Velvet." He said

Twilight Velvet stopped and ran towards Stonewall. She stopped, and he could see she was scared. He saw her holding her daughter close to her chest. She was banged up bad. He saw a dark spot on her chest. His eyes widened. No, Solar!

"What happened Velvet?" He asked

"Solar attacked my daughter after she back talked him." Said Velvet

"No, Solar is trained not to hurt any subjects that he will rule and protect." He said

"Well, he did! You promised my husband that our daughter would be safe!" She Exclaimed

This can't be right, Solar wouldn't go against everything he has learned unless he thinks that Twilight will harm his mother. He must have thought Twilight will hurt or kill his mother. I should have talked to him about death. But I need to stop this before he harms Night Light or Night Light harms him. He looked to see Twilight was hurt. She needed a doctor. He ordered a guard over to him.

"Take Mrs. Velvet to the emergency room. Don't stop for anything. If ponies ask, it was an accident." Said Stonewall

"What, an accident! This attack against my daughter was an act of violence! He should pay for this!" She screamed

"I know and he will. I can promise you that Celestia and I will deal with him. But we can't reveal the prince this way. Chaos will break out across Canterlot. He still is the prince. Now get your daughter to the hospital." Said Stonewall

Velvet just sighed and left. Stonewall watched as the guard and Velvet ran down the hallway. He sighed as he thought Solar would never turn against his training. Solar, what have you done. He ran off to the throne room to stop Solar from making, even more, mistakes than he already has.

***

Solar blocked more of Night Light's attack. But he was safe since his magic overpowered Night Light's magic. Celestia had to keep a shield up of her own. Her son was releasing powerful spells, and she couldn't get close to him. Son, please stop. She watched as yet another flare of magic came from her son as he launched yet another attack at Night Light. Her eyes still couldn't believe her son had attacked her new student. She knew she should have stopped it, but she was too slow to stop it. I've failed as a mother. A tear ran down her face as Solar and Night Light continued to exchange attacks.

"I'll give you credit. You're strong. But I won't stop until you have paid for hurting my daughter." He said

"Keep on trying old man, I told your daughter to leave, but she didn't." said Solar

"That doesn't give you the right to hurt her." Said Light

"She decided to say that Celestia isn't my mommy. But she is, so I had to teach her a lesson." Said Solar

"By attacking her, she was right. You aren't the prince of Equestria." Said Night Light

"How dare you!" Said Solar

He charged another sphere in his hand and charged Night Light, but he was able to teleport out of the way. Solar quickly saw where Night Light was. He launched the sphere from his hand. Night Light turned around to see the sphere coming towards him. He was unable to block it and took the attack in full. He slid back and panted when the attack was over.

Damn, the kid has some robust magic. I'm nearly tired, but he is still able to keep attacking. Plus his attacks keep getting stronger. He watched as Solar once again started to charge up another attack. But this time, it was three small sun spinning around him. Night Light had no idea how he was able to pull off the spells without draining his magic.

"Triple Sun Strike." Said Solar

He pointed his finger, and all three sun came at Night Light. He was able to bring up a shield, but one of the suns was able to destroy it, and the two others made contact with his body. Night Light went flying. He slammed into the walls, and he fell to the ground. Solar was about to charge up another attack when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and met with the eyes of Captain Stonewall. He let go of his magic, and Celestia was able to put down her shield.

"Captain." He said

"Solar Ignition Flare, you have failed me as one of my guards." He said

That struck a chord with him. He remembered that he attacked Twilight and was taught never to attack his subjects. But he had done just that. Instead of protecting, he was attacking. He looked down at his hands and the area around him. What have I done? Tears began to well up in his eyes. Before Stonewall or Celestia could comfort him, he ran off. They watched as he ran away. Celestia could already feel the emotions that were running through his head. She wanted to comfort her son but first was her ex-major general.

"You ok, Night Light." Said Celestia

"Pardon my language princess, but fuck no. That child was stronger than I had thought." Said Night Light as he got up. He looked over to Stonewall. "You promised my daughter she would be safe. But instead, she is in a hospital somewhere." He looked back at the princess. "I do hope that isn't the future of Equestria's Royal family. Now if you excuse me, I have a daughter I would like to see."

Night Light used his magic to grab his pipe and started to head out the door. Celestia and Stonewall just watched him walk away. Stonewall looked at Celestia. She was clearly devastated by the fight.

"This wasn't your fault, princess." said Stonewall

"But it is my fault, Stonewall. I should have told Solar earlier. I thought that it would be a nice surprise for him. It was at the start, but after telling him, Twilight was my student. It changed completely. I knew I should have stopped him, but I was too slow. I think he was afraid to lose me like he lost Doctor Pulse." Said Celestia

"I'm afraid that it might have been that way. But now what should we do with him." Said Stonewall

"We wait for the news on Twilight. When I know she will be fine, I will chat alone with Solar." Said Celestia

"Why alone, princess?" Asked Stonewall

"Because I am his mother. I believe I should always be the first to talk with him. But please keep a guard detail on him. I don't want him making rash decisions." Said Celestia

"Yes princess, I also have the guards start to clean this mess up." Said Stonewall

"Also cancel all court sessions for the next week. Say that a magic accident has caused a closure to the throne room." Said Celestia

"Yes, princess." Said Stonewall

***

Celestia had just finished raising the moon and lowering the sun. She sighed as she finished the work. She also sighed that this day was over. The first time my son can have a friend his own and we have a fight. At least Twilight will recover. Celestia had gotten news from her niece, Twilight's foal-sitter, that she would make a full recovery. Well minus three broke ribs and scorched fur. But now Cadance, her niece, was asking questions. She was hoping to bring Cadance in before his tenth birthday. She was off at a private school and had just returned and became the Sparkle family's foal-sitter. Though she lived at the Sparkle's house, since it was closer to a more public school. Now I got Cadance asking questions. I may have Canterlot asking questions soon. I guess maybe I should bring in Cadance. She could probably help. She exited her room and went down to her son's room.

She gently knocked on the door of his room. "Solar are you in there honey."

"Yes, mommy." He said

"Can I come in." She said

"Sure." He said

She opened the door to see her son laying on his bed. His head buried in his pillow. She saw that his pillow covered in tears. She also saw his eyes were puffy and red from crying. She gently sat on the side of his bed and began to rub her hands across his back.

"Mommy am I a monster." He said

She was pushed back by that statement. "No, my son, you are not."

"But I attacked that girl. I had no reason to. How can you love a monster like me." Said Solar

She picked him up and looked him in his eyes. "Never say that Solar Ignition Flare. You are not a monster. You are a sweet seven-year-old boy. But you were confused."

"I thought, if she took you away, I would lose you forever. I couldn't deal with that mommy," he said with tears running down his face.

Celestia started to have tears come down her face. She hugged her son and let her tears run over him. She pulled him back and looked into his eyes. "You will never lose me, my son. I will always be here. And nothing you do can make me stop loving you. You are my pride and joy. Ever since you became my son, you have brought so much happiness to my life, so never think of yourself as a monster. You were just thinking as a boy with sadness. But nothing and I mean nothing will ever push me away. I love you my son, my Solar Flare."

"I love you too mommy." He said holding her tight.

She held him tight, and the two gently rested on the bed. Her son soon fell asleep with his hands around her. She gently kissed him on the forehead. She would never dare to leave her son. But she knew one day he would leave her. But she still had so much more time before that.

"I'll never let you go, my son. No matter how far you drop, I will always be by your side. Now sleep tight in your mother's grasp. For I won't let you fall too far away from me. You are my boy, and you will always be my boy." She said

She gently closed her eyes and let sleep take her. But outside the door was Captain Stonewall. He had heard the whole conversation. He slowly walked away, and a single tear left one of his eyes. He smiled as he made his way to his office for the night.

Author's Notes:

So here it is, Twilight meets Solar Flare. Probably not what you were expecting to happen, but please don't thumb me down for this. I wanted a way to bring Twilight in later with Solar. But with only one real question stand out the most. Will Solar Flare be able to gain the Sparkle family trust? Well, I guess the following chapters will tell you all.

Now the next three chapters will be in three parts. So I will see you all in the next update. As always when I leave these messages, comment, like, favorite and tell a friend. Now bye bye.
