It was a dark night, only the gleaming moon could brighten the night sky, then it still wasn't enough. Illusion sat staring at the surface, he was in the royal garden, thinking about everything, his parents, what was his role here, and his life.. He remembered everything that night so clearly, he was heading to see his mother, spend time with her but then he heard yelling, loud yelling.. At first it was just arguing as they would always, but he heard them say horrible things.. "F-father?.. M-mother?" His words where so quiet he couldn't hear himself say it, then the yelling raised, they where speaking about Pax, Harmony, and Illusion.. After, it slowed down.. But as he approached them, he saw the horrible.. My father, he... His thoughts crashed as hoof step's approached, it was Starburst, out of all ponies, it was Starburst.. "Please go.. I'm not in the mood for Aunt Twilight to drag me into one of her lessons.. Or fill me with questions.." He groaned as he felt that Starburst was going to take him to Twilight. Starburst then shook her head in a very soft manner, she softly smiled.

"Illusion, look I really hate being sappy but.. Just know, I'll always be here for ya', remember when we where kids? We where like best friends, I miss it.. Don't let your parents ruin everything you cared about, you're my friend.. I want to be here for you.. Please let me be.." Before Illusion could reply Starburst gave a large hug to the prince, he couldn't help but hug back. "I know everything will be alright, my mother and father divorced as well due to everything just not working out, but now my mother is happy living with Celestia, I may not talk much but know I'll be here for you, we all will.." The mare chuckled at her own words, as she joyfully smiled at the prince.

Illusion couldn't help but smile back, he missed his time with Starburst honestly, this was the best time he has had in years. "C'mon, I wanna show you something.." He grabbed the mare by the hoof and flapped over to his destination, as Starburst happily rolled her eye's. "It's good to get away from all that right? Harmony hasn't been out much, and Pax well.. Hes like mother, he loves to see other ponies but he'd rather stay in the castle.." Starburst chuckled in a reply as they landed on top of the castle's roof.

"Why are we here?" Starburst softly questioned.

"You'll see.." He gave a smirk as they sat there in pure silence until, a sight of beaming light peeked from the far off slopes. "Mother's sun, it's beautiful isn't it? Father use to always say the sun was like mother, bright, heart warming, beautiful, and a bunch of other sappy stuff.." Illusion laughed as Starburst couldn't help but stare, she never got a good view of the sun really.

"It's beautiful.." Her eye's kept staring until Illusion hugged Starburst once more.. It was a slight surprise but Starburst learned to roll with it.

Illusion softly smiled, this is what he needed, his best friend and the thought of his mother's sun, and peace. "Thanks for cheering me up Star.. You know, you can be very kind if you get past that attitude. Like father.." Illusion continued to blab on about random things until Starburst seemed to be hiding something. Something he needed to know, but Illusion didn't want to bring it up. She hasn't spoken and she has been staring at her hooves.. "Hey uhh.. Starburst, I think it's time I told you what happened between my mother and father.." Illusion seemed to be sweating, he didn't want to say a single word. "Lets.. Just say he used his own magic against her, but that wasn't it.." He couldn't say anything more, she wanted to know so very bad, and he did care about her so very much a simple answer would do it. Starburst sighed, she just embraced him.

"Thank you for trusting me.." Starburst softly said.

"Anything for you Starburst..." Illusion spoke with a very upset but calm tone.
