Luna gasped as she looked over to her sister. "Emerald, is she..."

I looked over to Luna. "I'm not sure. I have no idea where that spell even came from. I've obviously never studied magic a day in my life."

"It was probably a magical surge cause by heavy emotions. It happens a lot to young unicorns who haven't learned to control their powers yet."

I look down to the side. Great. I have the magical control of a baby unicorn and the power level of a full grown alicorn. What the buck could go wrong? I walked over to Celestia and put a hoof to her neck. Feeling a pulse, I breathed a sigh of relief. Sure I didn't like the Princess very much but I didn't want to get charged with treason for killing our leader.

I looked over at Luna and said, "Don't worry. She's only knocked out. Or asleep. One of the two."

Luna also breathed a sigh of relief. "Good." She walked over to me. "That could have gone better..."

I nod slightly. "We need to get out of here."

Luna's face was plagued with worry. "And go where? She's going to send search parties to your house or something. We can't go there. It's illegal to harbor a fugitive so I doubt anypony in Ponyville would take us in. Not to mention, we can't let anypony know we're in town. Especially not Twilight Sparkle."

I nod and my face lights up with an idea. "What about the place where it all started?"

"The castle?"

I nod again. "It's a place I don't think Celestia would even think to check."

"You're right," Luna said. "I remember telling her about ten moons ago that I never wanted to see that place again after everything that had happened there. I guess I just decided to give it a chance with you. That turned out to be well worth it though."

I nod and smile. "Then it's settled." I gesture towards the door and we fly towards it. I look towards Luna. "Hey Luna?"

"Yes, my love?"

"There's been something I've been meaning to ask you..."

"Go ahead. I won't stop you." We took off from outside the castle and began flying towards the castle of the two sisters.

"If I'm an alicorn, does that mean I'm a prince now?"

Luna put a hoof to her chin. "I'm not sure. As it stands, everypony who is an alicorn at the current time is royalty. But according to Celestia, that was destiny. I'm not sure if royalty comes with being an alicorn or if it is dictated by destiny. I could always send Twilight a letter. If anypony has enough books to research the subject, then it's definitely her."

I chuckle for a second and say, "I thought we wouldn't be able to have contact with Twilight as long as we're in hiding."

Luna shakes her head. "There is almost no way for her to find us by us sending her a letter. We just need to make sure that she doesn't know we are in proximity to Ponyville." I nod and Luna summons a piece of parchment seemingly out of thin air. She does the same, summoning a quill. She scribbles some equestrian characters down on a piece of parchment and raises it towards her horn. It glows green and sends the letter in green particles, much like the ones that are created when spike does the same with his fire.

Twilight ran around her library frantically, throwing books on the floor everywhere. Spike rolled his eyes in annoyance because he had a sinking feeling that he would be asked to clean everything up. Twilight finally found the book she was looking for and but it up on her table. The book was big with a golden cover. Red text across the cover read, "Royalty In Equestria"

She began flipping through pages while Spike walked up beside her. "what are you doing Twilight?" He asked her.

Twilight spoke while she continued to flip through the pages. "Remember the scroll you gave me a few minutes ago?" Spike nodded and Twilight continued. "It was Princess Luna asking about the royal status of Emerald Shine. She's wondering if he's a prince because he's an alicorn. Or if royalty in equestria is completely bound by destiny."

"That is what Celestia told you right?" Spike asked. "That you were always destined to be a princess?"

Twilight nodded. "From what I heard, she said something along the same lines to Princess Cadence when she was about to be coronated as the princess of the crystal empire. It really does make me wonder if Emerald was really destined to be a prince."

Spike nodded and began picking books up off the floor. "From what Emerald told us at the reception, Celestia probably wouldn't be that willing to talk to him and tell him if he is a prince. I mean, it sounded like they were on some pretty bad terms."

Twilight nodded and looked back at spike. "Yeah. Was it just me, or did you also notice that Celestia wasn't at their wedding?"

Spike shook his head slightly. "No, I noticed that too. Why do you think she decided not to be there?"

Twilight put a hoof to her chin for a few minutes and closed her eyes. Spike knew this was the thing she did when she was trying to think or concentrate so he didn't bother her at all. Suddenly, Twilight jumped up and clapped her hooves together. "I've got it!" She yelled while Spike looked at her.

"What is it?" Spike asked, his voice sounding very interested.

"A while back, I asked if Luna had ever had somepony to love." Spike gave her a weird look and she quickly said, "I don't know why. I was just curious. Celestia said she was waiting for the right type of pony to come along before allowing Luna to go out with anypony."

Spike nodded and said, "Yeah but what does that have to do with the situation?"

Twilight looked at him and said, "I bet you Celestia thought that Emerald was not the type of pony she was looking for. Remember what Luna said at the wedding about Emerald's act of courage being marrying her? I'm willing to bet you bits that she was super against the marriage."

Spike nodded and looked towards the book. "Find anything?"

Twilight nodded. "I actually think I did. It says here, "The alicorn is the symbol of royalty. Alicorns are majestic creatures and all alicorns are destined to rule together over the land of Equestria."

Spike snapped his claws. "So he is a prince then?"

Twilight nodded. "It's written right here in black and white. Spike, please send a letter to princess Luna and let her know the good news." Spike nodded and ran upstairs. Twilight put a hoof to her chin and said, "Emerald Shine, The Alicorn Prince." She chuckled. It has a nice ring to it.

Me and Luna landed at the castle around three in the afternoon. "How is the sun going to go down if Celestia is still knocked out?" I asked Luna.

Luna shook her head. "I don't have a clue. She hasn't been off the job in thousand upon thousands of moons."

I shrugged. "Anyways, what do you wanna do?" I took a stick and drew a 3 by 3 grid in the soft dirt. "Wanna play tic tac toe?" I asked her.

Luna laughed. "You always find a way to make some sort of joke out of any situation."

Eventually, the time for night came and the sun began to go down. I sighed, "I guess she's awake then."

Luna nodded and I sighed again. Luna looked over and noticed a small tear running down my cheek. "What's wrong my love?"

I sighed. "This isn't the life I promised you princess. I told you we would ave a great life together. But instead, we are in hiding from your sister."

Luna laughed. "Emerald, are you still here with me?" I nodded. "Do you still love me?" I nodded again as Luna took my hooves in her own. "Then this is all I could ever want. Besides, I've grown quite fond of this castle." Luna stood up and I saw her as she began to raise the moon.

We sat in silence for a while until a letter materialized in front of us. There was a scroll with Princess Twilight's seal.

"Dear Princess Luna,
Through my research, I can guarantee you that
Emerald Shine was destined to be a prince
all along. I hope this letter reaches you both well.
I think I understand that something very wrong is
going on right now. While I don'tt know exactly
what you both are going through right now, I send
my sympathies.

Yours truly, Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Me and Luna smiled as we read the letter. Luna turned to me and said. "I guess you're not just my prince anymore." She chuckled and we embraced in a kiss. We were interrupted, however, by a bright flash of white light in front of us. Hovering there, was Princess Celestia herself. She laughed as she said,

"Hello lovebirds..."
