A New Starting Point
Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Discussion
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHoney Glow had been looking for Flare ever since she heard of him and Nights run in. She was worried that another one of her daughters had got him, which made her nervous. She had searched every corner of the castle as discreetly as she could, Midnight was also looking for him, insisting that she didn't do anything to him.
Honey Glow walked down the only hall she hadn't yet checked. This hall contained Prim Bite's room, along with the kitchen, bathroom, and gaming/ lounging room. She checked the kitchen first. The female chefs and male chefs had been separated during the time, but she asked everypony in the room if they had seen Flare. Most of them said he came in here earlier to grab a snack and left without saying much. So the kitchen was down. The next room she checked was the bathroom, but the door wasn't locked and no sound came from inside, so it was empty. Two rooms left, Honey Glow hoped to find Flare in the gaming room and not Prim's. She walked over to the brightly colored door to the game room and opened it slowly. Honey Glow found somepony, but it wasn't Flare. Her daughter Night was in there writing something, stress was plastered on her face. Honey Glow already knew what happened with her and Flare, so she left the room as quietly as she entered.
The last room was Prim's room, and Honey Glow was very nervous to enter that room. She hoped that if she found Flare in there, that he kept his promise and her daughter was still in heat. With a sigh, she walked over to the door leading to Prim's room and opened it slowly. On Prim's bed was where she found Flare, but in an odd predicament. The two looked to have been cuddling together before they fell asleep. Honey Glow calmly walked up to the bed and searched for her daughters smell.
The smell of a mare in heat was still on Prim, her mother couldn't have been more relieved. She was about to turn and leave but she stepped on something, that something made a soft noise that woke Prim up.
Prim's mind was fuzzy from waking up suddenly, thinking that Flare had left. But that couldn't be if Flare had left then why did she still feel his cold body next to her? She looked at where the noise originated, and Prim's eyes shrunk to pinpricks upon seeing who it was. Her mother stood there, in shock at making the noise. She slowly turned her head back to look and see if it awoke Prim and Flare. Flare was still asleep, but Prim looked wide awake, her cheeks flushed bright red. Honey Glow was going to ask how this happened later when her daughter would be awake, but now seemed like a good time.
Honey Glow and Prim Bite stared at each other for a moment, then her mother giggled, saying after it," Well, well, did my daughter find her special somepony~?"
Prim's cheeks got even redder from her mother saying that, she looked at Flare, then back to her mother, saying softly," If I tell you, w-will you promise not to tell Night or Midnight?"
"Of course, dear," Her mother softly sang, she didn't know why she was in a happy mood all of a sudden. Maybe it had to do with Prim finding somepony she loved?
Prim sighed, and looked at her mother, and softly confessed," I- I do love him, but I'm not sure he has the same feelings towards me."
Honey Glow chuckled and looked at her daughter, to her it was clear-cut, the stallion did look to have developed feelings for her daughter, they are always spending time together. She looked at the blue stallion then back to her daughter finally asking the question she was meaning to ask," So, how did this happen?" If Prim could get any redder she would've at that point. She stumbled over her words but got it out eventually," W-well, h-he teleported in here by a-accident, a-and I asked him if-if he could read an st-story to me."
"Oh? Then he snuggled up with you on his own accord?" Her mother grinned at her daughter, knowing full well that there was more to it. Prim sighed and mumbled something her mother couldn't hear.
"Sorry dear, can you say that again?" Her mother asked politely, Prim muzzle scrunched up, but finally she confessed the whole thing, how she asked him to read the book to her, then asked him to cuddle, then when he was about to leave, asked him to stay and sleep with her. Honey Glow looked at her daughter earnestly, and said sternly," Prim, I want you to know that, even if you don't think so, he might love you the same way you do him, you just need to ask him. Also, he didn't really break the rule that I and your father put in place for this week, he still stayed with you, he broke half a rule to keep you happy, that means something."
"Thanks, mom," Prim said, her mother nodded and left the room, leaving Prim and the pony she loved alone. She yawned and slowly put her head underneath Flares, she whispered silently to Flare," Goodnight Flare, I l-love you." and with that, she fell asleep.
In Prim's head
Prim opened her eyes, all around her was a black void of nothingness. She stood on what she assumed was a stone platform, this was her nightmare. The platform started to crumble away, and Prim Bite instinctively tried to open her wings and take flight, but, they didn't move. When the part she stood on finally gave way, she dropped like a stone, falling into the dark abyss. She looked down and saw the ground, it was made of grey stone. When she got closer to the ground she covered her eyes... she didn't wake up, she didn't hit the ground. She uncovered her eyes and saw that she was levitating a few inches above the ground, held within a blue aura. The aura dissipated and she fell the 2 or so inches onto the ground. She got up and dusted herself off, looking for the origin of the blue aura.
She looked around and her eyes landed on a familiar sight, Flare laid on a couch a blanket next to him. He had caught her. When she saw him, she galloped towards him, hugging his body tightly whilst saying 'thank you' over and over again. Flare hugged her back and softly rubbed her back as she repeated her line. When she let go, a tear had formed and slowly slide down her cheek, Flare, upon seeing her said lifted her up on the couch and wrapped the blanket around them. Prim, now wrapped in a blanket with Flare giggled and nuzzled his chest happily.
She woke up next to Flare, who still slept on. She looked at her clock and it said 7:30 a.m. She smiled and snuggled against Flare as best she could and fell right back to sleep. Having confidence that she found her special somepony.
