A mother is on the verge of dying and she has to leave her newborn baby boy in the hooves of Princess Luna. Her last wish is that Luna gives Jason a loving and caring home.

Starlight Skydancer fell deeply in love with a human that came to her dreams. Determined to be with him she calls upon Princess Luna for help to be with her love. The Princess reluctantly granted her wish and to protect her from the harshness of the human-world she transformed her figure into the appearance of a human.

Three year's pass, before Luna hears a very distant cry of help from Starlight. She transports her back and finds that she has turned back into pony and isn't alone. She had brought her newborn son, Jason, back with her, but this wasn't a colt. It was a human baby. With wings!

Prologue

Late in the night and she tossed and turned from the reoccurring image of him flashing in her mind. She was tormented with the thought of him being so close to her and yet not existent in her own world. Tears fell to her now damp pillow, as she asked herself, "Why must I suffer for loving him so much? What kind of creature is he anyway?" She rose her head to look out to the moon and the twinkling stars that lit up the night sky. The pegasus let out a long sorrowful sigh. "I must know who is and if he even dreams about me," The clock tolled once indicating that it was the first hour past midnight. "Luna please... if you can hear me tonight. I just want to be with him... I don't care if he isn't my kind. I need him."

She stared out into the distance waiting for a response, but when nothing came she decided that it all was for nothing. That she was to remain alone without her special somepony, because in all honesty the one whom she loved wasn't a pony at all. She threw her head into her dark violet fur and began to sob from the sorrow of being away from him. Then a thought hit her as she thought to herself, "If he came to me in dream, then perhaps I could see him again in my sleep."

Wiping away the tears from her face, she turned over and allowed her light blue mane to fall over her as she desperately tried to fall back into slumber. Perhaps he would be waiting there for her with open arms. The look on his face would be enough to satisfy her, for she had been seeing him in her dreams for about a week now. At first it was simple pleasantries of 'How do you do' and 'Pleasure to see you again', but now her dreams consisted of him just lovingly staring into her sky blue eyes. Just thinking about it seemed to be enough to calm her senses enough to have sleep gently crawl over her. She felt the pull of her subconscious as it transported her back into the dream where she last saw him.

The sunset was as beautiful as she remembered the last time she was here. The waves of the ocean crashed on the shore as she blinked out to the blinding sun. She popped her head up and immediately began to scan the area to see if there was any sign of him. Nothing, there was no trace of him anywhere. Pounding a hoof, she began to cry again. "I just want to be with him! Is that so much to ask for!? Is it!?"

"No, it seems to be a very simple thing to ask for," An elegant and powerful voice resonated from behind her. Spinning around, she found herself standing in front of the Princess of the night, Luna. She stood over the pegasus about a foot with her starry mane flowing away from the water. She wore a dark tiara and armor bearing her moon and her fur was a deep shade of blue. The pegasus was locked with her gorgeous navy blue eyes as she approached towards her. Slightly trembling, the pegasus lowered her forelegs in a bowing gesture.

"Your highness... Please I..."

"No need my dear Starlight, please rise and address me by my name. For I come to you as a friend."

"Of course your majesty... I mean... Um... Luna," Starlight let out a nervous giggle at saying her name. "Please tell me, Luna do you know anything of what I have been dreaming lately?"

"Yes, I do. I have been watching you very closely this past week, for this is very rare thing to happen."

"What's that your highness... I mean, Luna?" Feeling embarrassed, Starlight nearly facehoofed herself.

"You're not just dreaming Starlight, you're communicating."

"What?! You mean that I have been actually meeting HIM?!" Her eyes sparked with a bright flame in knowing that her love wasn't something fictionally created by her own mind. He was real. "Please, Luna where is he now? I must see him and tell him that... I love him with all heart."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible anymore, for the connection between you two has been severed. Your link with him was due to the cosmic alignment that only happens every 50 years. I myself can hear beings clear across the galaxy during such a time. Unfortunately, however, it only lasts a week."

"Does that mean... I won't see him again in my lifetime?" The tears began to pool under her eyes at such a thought. Luna frowned at her sadness, but then became serious.

"Is being with him, truly what your heart desires?" Starlight began to violently nod her head.

"More than anything I ever wanted!"

"Then come to the palace tonight I have something to show you."

"Oh my gosh... How do I wake up... Do I just..." She lowered her head and bit herself on the foreleg. "OWW!" Her head sprung up from her mattress and she noticed that she was back in her cloud room. "Right the Princess wants to see me." Jumping out her window, she angled herself into a pitch downward towards the land below her. Her destination, Canterlot Palace.

+_+_+_+

Upon arrival the night guards eyed her with very solemn faces. She let out a toothy grin towards them in her uneasiness. Landing softly on the grass outside of the main hall, she saw before her a gigantic door with two guards posted out in front of it. Slowly, she stepped closer cautious of everything around her. As she approached the door the guards peered down to her in their towering stance. "Are you Starlight Skydancer?" She nervously nodded at his overbearing tone. "The princess has been expecting you please..." Both guards pushed the door ajar with their hooves. "Proceed."

Trotting past them she made her way into the grandness of the hall. It was everything she imagined how royalty lived. The pillars that rose high above her were made of white marble and the chiseling texture was extravagant. "It must have taken ponies years to complete these."

"Five years for each pillar actually," Luna stepped forward from her throne that sat next to her sister's.

"My word you have great listening ability." Luna grinned and gave her a giggle.

"I'd better or else how do you expect me to hear everypony's thoughts during the night?" They both shared a little laugh then Luna's face went serious again. "Follow me Starlight I will show you the way to your heart's desire."

Not as much as a word was exchanged between them as they made their way down the many corridors of the palace. Starlight's heart began to thump at the thought of being united with her love once more. Luna then turned a corner and stopped a wall that bore a sun and a moon emblem. They twisted inward making a spiraling effect. Luna took her horn and brought it up to the center where the two met pushed into it. The ground shook as the wall separated away from each other revealing steep set of stairs downward. It was dark and the air coming up from the stairwell was old. Luna looked back at Starlight and gestured for her to flow.

After the first flight of stairs it became too dark to see anything ahead as they continued to descend. Luna then began to light up her horn as they appeared to be coming closer to the bottom of what seemed to be catacombs under the palace. Starlight thought aloud to herself, "I don't think anypony knew about this."

"That's because they don't, only my sister and I know about this. And I intend to keep it that way," Her horn revealed an archway that opened up into a room filled with water except for flat stones that breached the surface. "Fly across and don't touch the stones."

"Yes, Luna," Following closely behind, they flew over the water's surface that reflected the blue aura surrounding the princesses horn. It wasn't long before they came to the other side where an aged stone door stood with engravings of what appeared to be numerous hearts. They landed in front of it and with a big flash of light coming from Luna the door began to slowly crack open. Luna glanced back to Starlight one more time.

"Are you sure that this is what your heart desires?" Starlight gazed at the stone door as a bit of light began to pour out of it. She put a determined expression on and nodded towards Luna.

"Yes I have never been more sure about anything else in my life."

"Then before you leave I must bestow upon you this at the very least," With a glow of light Starlight's body began to transform and morph. Her hoofs on her forelegs formed five appendages and her center of balance began to shift as she stood up on her hindlegs.

"Wha... What's happening to me?"

"The culture of creatures you are about to enter call themselves humans. They stand with their hindlegs and walk in that fashion. You'll have to quick to learn their customs or else you will be singled out. Remember that you are still a pony on the inside so I will still be able to hear you, but only at night," The door swung wider and more light began to fill the room. "Also these humans wear clothes over their bodies to conceal themselves so be sure to find some immediately upon your arrival."

"Princess how do you know so much about these creatures?" Luna merely smiled.

"I took the liberty of listening to the thoughts of the human your searching for. His name is Ken Leon and he share's your love." Starlight's sky blue eyes brightened as the door fully opened and the room became slightly blinding.

"REALLY?!"

"Yes Starlight, really."

"One question though..."

"What's that Starlight?"

"Will I ever be able to come back?" Luna's face held a frown, but Starlight couldn't see it due to the light.

"I promise that if you ever truly need to come back, I will try everything in my power to have you return," Starlight's arms wrapped around her neck in a tight embrace and Luna could feel her crying on her shoulder.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou... Thank you so much!" Luna wrapped a foreleg around her naked form

"Your very welcome..." She felt Starlight pull away and run straight into the light of the door with her hair, being the same light blue, waved through the air as she went into the overwhelming light. In a quick burst of color the door began to close quickly and the engravings began to dance with a brilliance of light as it came to thundering close. As the lights all faded Luna sat on the stone floor of the room and let a tear fall from her cheek. "Go live a happy life, Starlight."

+_+_+_+

She ran ever so excited to be united once more with her love. The surrounding light began to fade slightly and she found herself running straight into some kind of wooden door. "Wha... Ow!" She hit against it with a sudden crash and she fell backwards into what seemed to be a closet full of buttoned up shirts. "Ooowie owie ow... That hurts worse than my first flying attempt."

"Who's there! I have a baseball bat and I know how to use it!" In the darkness of the closet she let out a shriek of joy at the sound of his voice. The door opened up to Ken standing over Starlight. "What the... how did... whoa um..." he immediately covered his eyes at the sight of the naked female. Starlight's eyes twinkled at the sight of him and she opened her mouth in the biggest smile she ever wore in her life.

"KEN! It's you! I cant believe it's you! I'm finally with you!"

"Wait how do you know my... oof!" Starlight leapt up onto him wrapping both her arms and legs around his body. She began to squeeze him so hard he found it difficult to breath "Wait please... Tell me... Ahh... Who are you?"

"Oh silly me..." She lowered her legs and stood up lovingly staring at his eyes that she knew and adored. "I'm Starlight Skydancer It's so great to finally be here with you Ken," With one hand still over his eyes he reached in and pulled out a button-up shirt. "Oh what's that for?" Ken's face became red as he spoke.

"You, please if you wouldn't mind... I would like to lower my hand and not see you so... naked."

"Oh that's right you wear clothing to conceal yourselves," She glanced down and looked over her new body. Overall she was the most beautiful woman that Ken ever seen. Her body was thin and sleek, with a considerable amount of muscle on her biceps and thighs. She grabbed the shirt and threw it over herself. "Better?" Ken lowered his hand and gently nodded

"Yes slightly... How did you end my closet anyways?" Ken began to rub is brown curly hair in confusion.

"Well you see..."

+_+_+_+

"And that's how I was able to come here. To see you my love," Ken and Starlight were sitting on the couch with each other. Ken's face was in disbelief at the story that was given.

"So you're telling me your the one that has been in my dreams lately? And that you're from a far away planet that exists somewhere out in the universe?" Starlight gave him a nod. "Lady either your crazy or I bonked my head as hard as you did," Ken started to get up but was grabbed by her. She gently pulled him close to her.

"Ken please just give me a chance to prove it... Can you do me a favor and just stare into my eyes?" Ken shook his head.

"What?"

"Please... For me..." Ken was reluctant to do so, but he shrugged his shoulders and leaned in forward towards her. After a minute passed of him staring into her sky blue eyes, he suddenly began to realize something.

"Wait... No it can't be... That's not possible..."

"It is Ken... And I'm finally here to be with you," She leaned in and pulled him in to kiss him. At first he fought it, thinking how impractical it was for him to kiss her. Then he gazed back into her eyes, her brilliant and beautiful eyes that he saw his dreams. How he loved them, the way they seemed to pierce his very soul and melt his heart. Her face just inches away from his, he reached up and ran his hand through her cyan hair.

"Your real..." She lovingly reached around the back of his head with her hand.

"And I'm yours..." The sun peaked through the shades as they locked lips with each other. The warmth of the rays hit them as they continued to share their love. Starlight thought of it as if Princess Celestia herself had promised that this was the beginning a bright and beautiful life with one that took hold of her heart. "Thank you Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, I will cherish everything that you have given me. My life couldn't be more complete."

Starlight's Farewell

As the sun began to disappear beyond the horizon Luna looked out into the distance with a smile on her face. It was time to light up the sky with her moon and it brought her great joy to do so. She raised the tip of her horn and could feel the mass in orbit as she concentrated to pull it upward into the night sky. Slowly it rose over the mountain tops to the east shining its light over the dark landscape of all of Equestria. Standing out on her balcony, she began to immediately hear the thoughts of numerous ponies, "I love it when she does that... The moon looks so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you Luna... Wouldn't know what we'd do without you" As much as she enjoyed hearing her subjects appreciation of her work, she couldn't help but wonder if she would ever be able to share the night with somepony else. She could interact with the kingdom's dreams, but those usually last only moments before she would be left alone to watch over the land. She let out a sigh as she considered to fly out over the night sky. Then she heard two voices that she could distinguish to be the mother and father of Starlight Skydancer.

"Honey... Babe... do you truly think our daughter is dead..." The mother's voice was filled with sorrow and pain.

"I'm not going to talk about this... Go to sleep." Luna could sense the anger in his voice as he replied back to his wife.

"But honey... What if she's still alive... And she's just having a hard time to get a hold of us."

"For three years! Are you stupid, mare! There is only one reason for her not being here and that's because she is gone! You need to accept that!"

"Don't you yell at me..."

"Or what... You know what, I told you I'm not going to speak to you about this."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going to sleep with you if your not going to respect that our daughter is dead. Good night," Luna could hear the poor mare beginning to cry. Her heart went out to her, for she didn't mean for the happiness of one pony to cause pain and suffering for another.

"I'm so sorry... I wish I could tell you what became of your daughter." Luna telepathically spoke to the female pegasus.

"Oh Princess Luna, I still have faith that my daughter is still out there alive and well. I just wish my husband would see that we can't consider somepony like our own daughter to be dead, but three years is a very long time your majesty and I'm starting to believe that she won't be coming back to us."

"Don't ever lose hope... one day hopefully everything will be at peace for you and your husband. But for now, know that you can sleep with the knowledge that I will continue to listen for her thoughts."

"Thank you so much my Princess..."

"Your very welcome..." Luna lowered her head as she returned to her own thought's, "I wonder how Starlight is doing in that world."

The long night continued and Luna decided that it was high time to make a quick outing. As she took off from her high tower two of her royal guards flew out beside her. "Please, I wish to fly alone this time."

"But your highness... our orders were to always be beside you if you left the palace."

"Not tonight... Now go and position yourselves back at the palace until my return."

"Yes your grace," They veered off and swung back toward Canterlot. Luna watched after them for a time and then turned her attention back in front of her. The valley below held the sleeping town of Ponyville. Everything was quiet as she soared through the dark evening sky. Until her ear began to twitch at the slightest sound of a voice that sounded very far off.

"Please Luna help me."

"Huh?" She could barely hear it but it sounded fairly familiar to her. Flying upward she began to hear it a little louder.

"Please Luna save me!" Luna's eyes widened as she recognized the pegasus's voice.

"Starlight?" She didn't waste any time powering up her most of her magic for the biggest teleportation that she ever attempted. "Don't worry Starlight I'm going to help you, just hold on..." Flying ever faster she ascended up through the cold air of the troposphere trying her hardest to pinpoint Starlight. She could feel her magic stretch toward her moving rapidly past moons and planets. Blood began to slightly drip from her muzzle. "Almost... there..." She gritted her teeth at the pain from using this much magic at one time.

"LUNA!"

"There!" Upon finding Starlight's location she instantly pulled her back to their planet. Starlight flashed in front of her and to her surprise she had returned back into her pony form and had her wings wrapped around herself in a defensive manner. She looked up to see the princess.

"Luna..." Starlight started to plummet towards the land below her. Luna pitched herself into a nosedive to push herself underneath her body. Pulling up very gently she felt the weight of Starlight against her back. Leaving no time to waste, she immediately landed somewhere north of Ponyville in a small clearing of grass. Ever so lightly she lowered Starlight to the ground with her wings and turned to check her over. She was bleeding from her side and could feel her spirit beginning to fade.

"Starlight! What happened to you..."

"Ken... you need to save him... Jason needs his father..." Her breathing was heavy as she uncovered her wings to reveal a trembling and freighted newborn human baby. His bright blue eyes stared up to Luna and immediately he began to cry. "Shh... my darling... please don't cry... Mommy's... Ahh!" She let out a shriek of pain as she attempted to stroke his little figure. Luna started to tear up at the sight of Starlight's agony. The baby began to cry once more and Starlight's eyes closed shut, as she began to sing to Jason with tears pouring from her eyes.

Hush now my love, precious please don't cry.

Listen to your momma's lullaby

Know that I'm by your side

Don't worry for I will be your guide.

Be strong my sweet love, always be true

Your Momma will always be proud of you.

At the end of her song Jason was calmly asleep in her forelegs. Starlight's light blue eyes pleaded with Luna. "Please... Luna save Ken... He is in danger."

"I can't... even if I could, I used almost everything to transport you here," Luna's voice was filled with sorrow.

"Then please... Hear my last wish..." she began to let out coughs as her voice became raspy. "Take my son... And find him a place... That he can call... Home," Luna slowly nodded

"I will honor your last wish Starlight. This I swear." Starlight let a smile cross her muzzle as she looked back to her son asleep in her arms. With one last effort she brought him up to kiss his forehead. She nuzzled his little curly brown hairs as she spoke her final words to her son.

"My... baby boy... gasp I will... always... gasp... Love..." Her eyes closed as she let out a long sighing breath, "...you," As her body fell limp, Luna began to tremble with sadness and grief. The tears began to fall uncontrollably as she looked over Starlight's lifeless form.

"Starlight... I'm so sorry."

The baby immediately started to stir at from no longer feeling his mother's heartbeat. At the point of his fussiness, Luna took notice to his backside. Connected to his back below the shoulder blades were tiny, little midnight blue wings. They began to flap as his fit became worse. A closer inspection showed that they were without a doubt the wings of a pegasus.

Luna encased the small baby in her magic and levitated him under her wing where she could cradle him while standing. Jason, upon feeling the warmth of her body, burrowed himself into her fur and she gave the baby a sad smile. "I will find you a home little one, I promise you that," She raised her head up and looked to the sky. "I promise both of you..."

+_+_+_+

She carefully made her way through the empty streets of Ponyville with Jason gently wrapped in her wing. Feeling terrible about just leaving Starlight's body without a proper burial, she headed towards a very large oak tree. Unlike any ordinary oak tree this one had a massive base with a door and reached above the rooftops of the surrounding houses. There were various sizes of windows on the upper trunk of the tree and a sign that read 'Golden Oaks Library'. Luna's eyes were focused on the door as she approached. "Hopefully, she'll be able to help me," Knocking against the wooden door with her hoof, an upper window opened and a tired purple ailcorn poked her head out with drowsiness. Her voice held an irritated tone as she spoke downward,

"Do you know what time it is... Oh Princess Luna," Her eyes nearly popped out as she regretfully wished to seem so cross with her fellow princess.

"Sorry to disturb you from your slumber Princess Twilight, but I need to ask of you a favor. May I please enter your home."

"Of course, I'll be down in just a moment," Twilight withdrew her head back inside the window and Luna could hear the approaching hoovesteps. The door became ajar and the lavender alicorn stood in the doorway. "Please come inside."

"Thank you kindly, Twilight," Luna stepped inside and the baby began to shift in her wing.

"Um... princess is your wing okay?"

"Actually, Twilight that is what I needed your help with..." Twilight peered at the wing in confusion.

"Princess, I don't think I can be much help when it comes to wings. I only got mine not even a month ago and I still don't know how to fly effectively yet, but if that's what you need from me I guess I can try to find a book that will..." Luna shook her head slightly and she tittered at Twilight's assumption.

"No, Twilight I mean this..." Gently unfolding her wing she exposed Jason to Twilight, who gazed at him with large eyes.

"What is that!" At her outburst, the baby awoke suddenly with a loud cry. Luna brought him into her forelegs as she sat on her haunches.

"Shhshhshh... Calm down little one your safe with me," Lightly nuzzling him, she began to rock him back and forth. Jason sniffled a little as he started to relax once more. Luna glanced to Twilight. "Please refrain from using loud voices, Twilight."

"I'm sorry. Exactly what kind of creature is that?" She spoke in a whispered tone. Before Luna could speak another sleepy voice could be heard coming from the wooden stairs behind her.

"What's with all the racket... Oh hello Princess Luna," The little purple dragon made his way in front of Luna with a small smile on his face. His green eyes seemed to glimmer in the moonlight that came through the upper widow.

"Evening, Spike your just the dragon I was looking for. I need you to write a letter to my sister,"

"You need to send a letter? Don't you have the ability to speak to each other telepathically or something?" Spike stood up on the tips of his toes as he noticed the small form being cradled in Luna's forelegs. "What are you holding?"

"I will answer all of your questions in due time, but it is important that I get a letter to my sister right away."

"As you wish Princess," He ran over to a desk and pulled out a parchment of paper and a quill. Returning the two alicorns he readied the quill onto the paper awaiting what to put down. "Whenever your ready, Princess."

"Dearest Sister, I have regrettably performed an act without your consultation, further explanation will be provided upon my return. For now my sister I have tragic news on one of our kingdom's subjects. The pegasus known as Starlight Skydancer is no longer with us in this life. I have knowledge that her body is in the northern fields of Ponyville. Please send somepony to retrieve her so I may deliver the unbearable news to her family. I also have possession of her..." She paused momentarily to quickly glance down to the small child in her arms. "Foal and will begin searching for a suitable home for him. Please forgive me my sister, Luna," As Spike finished writing, Twilight gazed at Jason with even wider eyes.

"That's a foal of a pegasus?" She violently shook her head in disbelief. "How can that physically be possible?" Her hoof jetted out towards Jason. "You're not physically possible."

"Like I said, Twilight. Everything will explained, but for now I believe Jason here needs to be allowed to sleep." Now awake the small child blinked his piercing light blue eyes at Luna, then he lightly turned his head to direct his vision to Twilight.

"Whoa, look at those eyes Twilight... Hey there little guy." Spike lit the paper with his green flame and Jason immediately cooed with a smile on his face. "Aww, he likes it when I use my flame." Luna giggled at the sight of the baby smiling.

"Twilight do you mind If I put Jason asleep in your spare bed?"

"No, I don't mind..." Luna smiled and began to hover upstairs.

"Thank you, Twilight."

"Not a problem at all..." She waited for her to disappear into the guest room before turning to her assistant Spike. "Spike quickly get me my notebook and three quills, I've got a lot to write down..." Spike saluted her in a military fashion.

"Aye aye, captain."

Entering the room, Luna hovered over to the bed and gently landed on the bed with Jason in between her forelegs. Her flowing mane brushed across his tiny figure and he let out a tiny chirp of laughter. She felt a smile cross her muzzle from admiring his adorable little features in the moonlight. From his curly brown hairs to his tiny feet she couldn't help, but feel a strong connection forming between them. Lowering her head to kiss his, she shifted a little into a comfortable position. "Okay little one let's look at your wings."

She tenderly turned him over and exposed his folded wings. With her muzzle she started to nudge against the joint that connected his wings to his back. Jason let out a little fuss as his tiny wings flapped outward as far as they would go. "You've got a very healthy pair of wings, little one. Your going to be an excellent flyer." With the utmost care she took his wings into her mouth and she began to preen his feathers. Jason with his hands tucked beneath his body fell asleep as she finished with his wing.

On finishing the other wing she lightly pushed them down with her muzzle until both wings were folded onto his back. She rested her head next to him and allowed her mane to drape over him as a blanket. As she lovingly glanced at him through the corner of her eyes, she softly whispered, "No matter what home I find for you Jason, I will always be there to protect you," she kissed him again on the forehead. "Good night, little one." Smiling, she closed her eyes as sleep passed over her. The moon continued to shine through the window on the two sleeping forms on the bed as the night went on peacefully.

Author's Note

Song: "In my Arms" By Plumb

The Fall of the Leons

Luna was awoken by a painful cry into her ear as Jason began to let out a high pitched wail. She immediately cringed and drew her head up away from the baby. Letting the ringing in her ear subside, she peered down at Jason who was kicking his tiny feet. As Luna delicately scooped him up in her forelegs, she found the bed damp. Jason's diaper was soaked and Luna noticed that her mane had also became matted together from being wet. She gave her mane a slight expression of disgust as Jason continued to yell in discomfort. Twilight knocked on the door, "Princess Luna, may I come in?" Her voice was barely audible above the baby's cry.

"Please enter, Twilight," The door slowly opened and Twilight entered the room along with Spike riding on her back.

"Is Jason okay? I can hear him from the kitchen downstairs," Twilight eyed the baby with concern while Spike had both claws to the side his head in an attempt to muffle the loud noise.

"Is that his self defense tactic, to pierce the ears of those around him? Geez he is loud," Luna shook her head.

"The poor thing only wet himself. Would you, by chance, have any diapers on you, Twilight."

"Sorry, I don't. I can go and retrieve some real quick."

"That would be very much appreciated, Thank you. And may I ask of you, Spike, to provide some milk for the little one?" Spike threw his thumb out and nodded.

"Anything to stop him from crying," Twilight turned to the door and was about to step out when Luna caught her attention again.

"My dear Twilight may I use your bathroom to wash up Jason and myself."

"Of course your majesty. You don't have to ask me for that. Please consider this your home and feel free to do as you please."

"Thank you for your kind generosity," Luna glanced down to Jason, who was still fussy. "Come on little one let us go and cleanse ourselves." She lightly stepped off the bed and encased Jason in her dark blue aura. He floated in front of her as she headed her way to the restroom. Twilight followed closely behind her.

"By the time your out I will be back with diapers and perhaps some clothes. Doesn't seem that his fur-less body will fair well after being wet," Luna opened the door to the restroom then turned to Twilight.

"That is very insightful, Princess of knowledge,"Twilight lightly blushed at her being called a princess; she wasn't quite used to the whole princess thing ever since Celestia bestowed upon her the status of Alicorn. Luna smiled at her and patted her with a hoof. "Your going to make a great princess, Twilight. And whatever happens my sister and myself will be here to aid you in your journey."

"Thank you Luna."

"You're quite welcome, Twilight. And let me know how much it costs for everything, I shall repay you in full and more for all that you've done," Twilight shook her hoof at Luna.

"That won't be necessary, I'm more than happy to help out with Jason," Upon his name being said, Jason opened his bright blue eyes towards twilight and he stared intently at her. "Wow, your right Spike. It's like the sky itself is staring at you. Those eyes are so beautiful." Spike hopped off her back and headed his way downstairs.

"Didn't I tell you that they were amazing? I'll be back with some milk for my little bud," Luna nodded after the little purple dragon with a smile. Jason fussiness reminded her that he was still in need of a wash, as well as her mane for that matter. Twilight hoofsteps could be heard going down the stairs as Luna closed the bathroom door behind her.

"Okay, little one, lets take off that soggy diaper," Using her magic she gently undid the straps and took off the drenched piece of material. She came to understand immediately why human colts needed to conceal themselves. "Oh... well... it is quite different, isn't it?" Jason being fully unclothed, began to tremble from the coolness of the bathroom. Luna noticed this and brought him into her forelegs to provide some warmth. "Don't worry, I'll get the water going so you can be warm again," She used her magic to twist both knobs on the showerhead adjusting it get the proper temperature for Jason. The water gently trickled out of the faucet and Luna used one of her hoofs to check if it was ready for Jason. Careful not to slip, she encased Jason in her magic once more and lightly stepped into the waters path. The warmth was satisfying and relaxing on her wings and she knew that Jason's wings would also benefit from it as well.

Bringing him back into her arms, she gently nuzzled him on the nose and he let out a light giggle. She turned to face the showerhead and sat down on her haunches, allowing Jason to be hit on his back by the stream of mild warm water. His tiny midnight blue wings flapped wildly, sending water everywhere. He let out an adorable little laugh as he did. Luna couldn't help the smile forming on her face, just to see him enjoying himself brought her joy and happiness. She gave him a content giggle as she levitated some soap into the air. Jason paid no attention to her actions, for he was having a blast exercising his wings. Lathering the soap, she hugged Jason close to her body and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Lets get you clean, little one."

While she gently cleaned Jason's little figure, she had many questions forming in the back of her mind. One of which kept returning, "What happened to Starlight to cause her to die?" She wore a frown as the thought passed her mind once more. Lifting Jason back up to the waters stream, he let out another series of giggles and laughs from the water tickling his body. Luna stared into his eyes and smiled at his laughter. It seemed to brighten everything around her, making her whole world seem to melt into joy. Pressing his little body against hers, she closed her eyes and imagined what it would be like if she had a foal of her own. How she would love to be with them and watch him or her over the years as they grew into a stallion or mare. The thought caused a tear to drop and blend into the draining water below. It wasn't that she couldn't have a foal of her own, but the time to bare one would impede on her royal duties to the kingdom and therefore she knew that having children of her own was out of the question. However, the moments spent with Jason was starting to make her think otherwise. "Perhaps one day, I'll have a foal to call my own."

A knock against the bathroom door made Luna pop her head away from Jason. "Yes?"

"It's me, Twilight. I have the diapers and some clothing for Jason."

"Please come in, Twilight," It opened up to Twilight trotting in with the items encased in her purple glow. She sat them on the counter. Luna saw the clothing that Twilight was speaking of and eyed it with interest. It's was an autumn orange, one of her favorite colors. "Twilight where did you find that piece of clothing?"

"Oh, my friend Rarity gave it to me. She said I could have it since spring is nearing and her fall collection is put away."

"That will be perfect for Jason, thank you for finding us that." Luna switched off the water and levitated Jason in the air as she stepped out of the tub. Twilight immediately blushed lightly at Jason's naked figure. She made mental note to include her new findings into her notebook, which she begun writing last night. Tilting her head slightly to one side, she gave Luna a confused expression. "Us?" Luna placed Jason gently on the counter and was placing a diaper on him.

"My apologies, I mean him." Luna lightly frowned at her correction and Twilight slightly knew why. She knew that her kingdom came top priority and that Luna must have her mind clear to maintain it. Deciding that it would be best to drop the subject, she moved closer to study Jason.

"Luna? What happened to his mother, Starlight? I mean how did she die?" At this question, Luna almost stopped altogether as she tried to get the orange clothing on Jason.

"...You know, Twilight. I still don't know, if your willing, we can figure that out through Jason's memories."

"Are you sure that you want to do that knowing that she's gone?" Luna finished dressing Jason and brought him into her forelegs.

"Yes, Twilight. I need to know what became of her after three years of living with humans," Twilight secretly became excited about seeing more of the mysterious creatures known as humans.

"I don't believe this a whole new race to study and analyze. There's so much to find out. I know I'm going to write down a categorized list of questions to answer," She thought to herself. Exiting the bathroom, she turned her head back to the blue alicorn. "I'll be ready in a bit," Luna sadly looked down to Jason, who was happily sucking on his fingers as he stared up into the starry flowing mane of hers.

"That makes one of us, then."

+_+_+_+

Downstairs, Spike was shaking a baby bottle filled with warm milk. He hummed a catchy tune as he shook the bottle up and down. Spike didn't notice Twilight and Luna approach him from behind as he began to sing.

"A dragon is the finest creature ever

there's more to him than just guarding his treasure."

When Jason gave him a baby's giggle, he spun around with his cheeks filled up with redness. Luna and Twilight both laughed lightly at his embarrassment. "Um... How long were you two standing there?" Twilight smiled at her assistant.

"Not very long, very nice singing spike." his cheeks reddened even more so as he turned around to face away from them and held out the bottle.

"This is for Jason. I used one of the old bottles Twilight used to feed me with." Luna gave the small purple dragon a warm smile.

"Spike would you mind feeding him? I know he could use a big brother like you." Spike spun around quickly and his green eyes shimmered with twinkle of hope.

"Wait, does that mean he's staying here with us?" Luna glanced to Twilight as if to repeat the question. Twilight stepped back in light protest.

"Sorry I'm already living two lives as is, I don't think I could take on another responsibility on top of everything else. Perhaps before becoming a princess I would've strongly considered it. Sorry, Spike."

"Then what did you mean by being his big brother, Princess Luna?" She gently lowered Jason into his arms and spike cradled him.

"There shall be a day where this little one will be able to walk on two feet and when that day comes I hope you'll be there to show him how, " Spike's eyes lit up again.

"You mean..." Luna nodded. "Yes! Finally another creature that can walk on two legs. Me and you are going to get along nicely, little brother." He lifted the bottle to Jason's lips and he quickly latched on with his eyes set on Spike's. Both alicorns looked at two and silently awed their moment together. Luna's face then went serious as she turned her head towards Twilight.

"Are you prepared to see what Jason's memories hold, Twilight?"

"Right now? Won't we be leaving Spike alone to care for Jason?"

"Yes, but I can't think of any better time to visit his memories than now while he is calm and still in my possession. And don't worry what may seem like hours for us will only be mere minutes for them." Twilight nodded her head with a determined expression.

"Okay, princess. Let's do it," Luna closed her eyes and moved closer to Twilight as her horn began to glow with a bright light. In a quick flash, both Princess were gone leaving Spike alone with Jason.

"Well, little bro, I guess it's just you and me for now," Upon finishing the bottle, Jason smiled up to the purple dragon. "Ya know I think orange is a good color on you," Taking the bottle over to the kitchen, he sat it on the counter to be washed then returned to the main room. He looked around and the silence was a little awkward for him, but he was content being with Jason. "I know, I can read you a book. How about..." Using one of his claws he scanned the bookshelf.

+_+_+_+

Somewhere in the depths of Jason's subconscious

Darkness surrounded them as they seemed to just float in the inky blackness. A tiny rapid beat of a heart could be heard as a distant motherly voice echoed around them. "Oh my little baby boy... Ken what should be name our son." Twilight and Luna looked at each other as male voice could be heard echoing close by.

"What about hmm... Kevin, I always liked that name..."

"Kevin's a good name, but there's one in particular name that I feel fits him."

"What's that my love..." A sliver of light could be seen in front of Luna and Twilight. It was only a thin line, but it slowly opened to expose more bright light in as the motherly voice said out his name.

"...Jason," The light faded to reveal a human female with long flowing bright blue hair. She was lovingly staring down at them with the biggest grin she could possibly manage. Luna's eye's slightly began to water.

"Starlight..." She said under her breath. Twilight shook her head.

"Wait, That's Starlight... The Pegasus! But... How?!" Luna glanced over to her.

"I helped her to be that way, It was what she wanted more than anything." A single tear fell in her memory of Starlight's death. Ken was leaning over the bed, that Starlight laid in, and smiled down at his son.

"Jason... Yeah... I love it. Jason, my baby boy... He's got your eyes my love." Starlight giggled.

"Yes, but he's got your hair."

"I don't know about that. I can see some blue in there somewhere..." The two stopped immediately as Jason started to lightly cry. Starlight gave him a concerned expression as she began to rock her arms back and forth, causing Jason to slightly become more relaxed. She leaned in and kissed his forehead then began to sing a song that was painfully familiar to Luna,

"Hush now my love, precious please don't cry.

Listen to your momma's lullaby

Know that I'm by your side

Don't worry for I will be your guide.

Be strong my sweet love, always be true

Your Momma will always be proud of you.

Jason's eye's closed leaving Luna and Twilight back into the darkness that they started the memory with. Twilight glanced around her realizing that they were viewing everything from Jason's perspective.

"Princess Luna, any chance that we might be able to observe from outside of Jason's mind." Luna gave her a nod and lit her horn up. In a blink of an eye they teleported out of Jason's head and into the hospital room. They continued to watch as Ken leaned in and kissed Starlight on the lips.

"Wow, did you just make that up honey." Starlight smiled and shook her head.

"No it was the same lullaby my mother used to sing to me. I'm so happy that it works with our son... Ken?" Starlight held her loving gaze at Jason, but it became one of concern as she felt Jason's back.

"Yes, Starlight?"

"Aren't you worried about what others might think about our baby having wings?"

"What should I care what others think of him... He's my son and I will always love him. I would do anything to make sure nothing would happen to him." Starlight gave Ken a wide loving smile.

"I know you would... Your going to be the best daddy ever." Upon them embracing each other, Luna and Twilight both picked up another male voice that was coming from the hallway.

"I don't care if he's an infant or not. He's a miracle to science and as such should be studied." Luna brightened up her horn and teleported Twilight and herself outside of the room where a doctor was conversing with some female nurse.

"He's their child doctor, we have no right to make calls to take him away like that."

"Too late, I've already reported my findings to the officials and to be honest I'm content that I did. Something like that shouldn't be left unexamined. I'm glad to think I'm thinking in the better judgment of science, than to allow impulsive emotions run my decisions for me." The human in the white coat turned and stormed off, while the nurse marched into the room where Ken and Starlight were still adoring their child. Luna and Twilight followed after her. The nurse stepped quickly towards the couple and she tapped Ken on the shoulder.

"You have to go... now." Ken's face was filled with worry.

"Wait what? Why? My wife hasn't recovered fully from the delivery yet." The nurse seemed frantic.

"Trust me that's not your biggest concern. They're coming to take your baby away from you two." Both of their faces held a shocked look on their face. Ken then showed that he had rage building up inside him as he clenched his fists.

"I like to see them try," Ken's teeth gridded together. "Who?

"I don't know, some organization from the government. Please you have to leave right away, if anything happened to your baby I couldn't forgive myself." Ken gently grabbed his son from his wife and made his way to a wheelchair that was sitting on the side of the room by twilight. Ken seemingly marched straight through her like she was just air. Starlight slowly rose from the bed and limped over to Ken, who was gathering his family's belongings. Once everything was set to go Ken lowered Jason into Starlight's arms and began to push her out of the room. He paused momentarily to hug the nurse.

"Thank you for helping my family..." The nurse hugged him back.

"You're welcome Mr. Leon, please take care."

"We will..." He glanced at her name tag which read 'Jennifer'. "I don't know how to repay you."

"You don't, just go now." Ken pushed the wheelchair out of the room and hurriedly made his way to elevators at the end of the hallway. "...please be with them..." the nurse said after them. Twilight gave the nurse a quizzical look.

"Who is she talking to..." Luna shook her head.

"I don't know, Twilight. Let us move forward in this memory." Lifting her horn upward she laminated the hallway around her. The next moment both alicorns were sitting in some grass outside of a two story house. Twilight analyzed her surroundings with wonder. Flameless lights lit the streets of the urbanized setting and metallic wheeled machines lined up on the sides of what seemed to be hardened gray clay. The moon above was giving them the ability to see everything almost as if it had been daytime. Twilight trotted about taking everything into her mind for her to further research back home.

"Human's are quite the ingenuitive race, we share some of the same materials and yet they've seemed to come up with something extraordinary of their own. They must possess some sort of magic. How do they harness flameless lights otherwise?" Lights flashed across Twilight's face as another wheeled machine pulled up in front of the house. Ken jumped out of the car and walked around to the backside of the machine where Starlight was sitting with Jason wrapped in a blanket. Opening the door Ken tenderly grabbed Jason away from her so she could stand.

"Come on, my love. We must hurry it's only a matter of time before they find us. I have to get us to safety before that happens." Starlight stood up from the car still in her hospital gown and she slowly made her way with Ken to the house. Reaching the door, Ken pulled out the keys to open the door. Just as he inserted the key into the lock, bright lights flooded the side of the house and multiple men came rushing at them. Luna and Twilight watched in horror as the men seized Starlight and Ken, but just as they tried to take Jason out of Ken's arms, Ken threw his leg in between the males thighs. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY FAMILY!!"

"Please, Mr. Leon. There's no need for violence..." A sultry male voice came from in front of Ken. As the lights died out, A man could be seen standing no more than a few feet away from Ken and Starlight. "We are negotiable like civilized men, so instead of action how about we use words. How say you to that?" Ken's eyes flashed in anger.

"How about you get your men to get their hands off my wife before I cave in their faces with my fists?" The man snapped his fingers and the two men that held Starlight let her go, but didn't move away from her. "Who do you think you are?!" The man summoned a younger male over, who held in his hands a briefcase. The young male's face was expressionless and stern like that of a seasoned warrior. On reaching the man, he handed him the briefcase and the man cleared his throat.

"I am agent Simon and this is my younger associate, Mason. We are from a branch of the CIA and we specialize in the matters of unnatural things on our lovely planet." Simon pointed to Starlight. "Like your wife."

"You better watch what you say about my wife..."

"Like I said Mr. Leon," He opened the briefcase and pulled out a vanilla folder. "There's no need for violence." Ken eyed the folder.

"What's that?"

"Just some information, that was given to us by an anonymous source," He placed the briefcase down on the grass and stepped lightly forward. "Victoria Lynn Leon or what you prefer to call her, Starlight Skydancer Leon," Ken's and Starlight's eyes went wide with shock. "It says here that you greatly dislike being shocked. Says something about you showing your true character," Simon looked up from the folder and stared at Starlight. "Care to show us what that means, Starlight?" At him saying 'Starlight' he snapped his fingers and the man behind starlight brought a taser to her neck. Ken noticed this and screamed,

"NO!" Jason now was crying loudly as Starlight shook from the electricity flowing through her body. She gritted her teeth and her eyes were clinched while her body started to change form. She fell to her forelegs as her hands disappeared back into hooves. Ken's worst fear had happened, his love, his secret was now revealed to the very men threatening to take her away. Simon snapped his fingers again and the man that tased Starlight pulled out what looked like an epi-pen. Before Ken was able to kick the man away, he stabbed her into her side injecting the contents inside of her system. "What did you just put in her... TELL ME NOW!" Mason stepped forward towards Ken.

"I'm afraid that is no longer your concern Mr. Leon." Ken knelt down and gently handed a crying Jason to Starlight.

"Like hell it is..." Mason continued with another step. "You come any closer and I will defend my family."

"You will certainly try... And fail." At the word 'fail' Mason dashed up on Ken, who threw a fist out and missed as Mason ducked below him. Grabbing Ken's arm Mason twisted his body around bending the arm in a way that it shouldn't. Ken let out a scream of pain as he held his broken arm. Mason stepped back a little and gave Ken swift kick to the chest sending him back towards Starlight.

"Ken!" Starlight's breathing started to become hard as she struggled to get clean breaths out. Mason turned to Simon.

"Sir, she appears to be having an allergic reaction to the solution." Simon held a expression of disappointment and frustration.

"The first Pegasus in a thousand years and it had to be one to have allergies." He let out a sigh and shook his head. "There's nothing we can do for her."

"What about the child?" Simon glanced that Mason.

"Take him, he's just as interesting as his mother." Mason nodded and began to walk towards Starlight. Starlight began to panic slightly as she saw Mason making his advancement on her. Twilight teleported herself in front of Mason and screamed,

"You stay away from her!"

"Twilight... It is only a memory we can not interfere with what's already happened." Luna's voice was filled with sorrow. Twilight started to cry as mason just fazed through her. Starlight sat up and held Jason in her forelegs, she searched for someway to escape Jason being taken away. Upon looking up she saw the moon and seemingly remembered that promise that Luna made those couple years back before she arrived. She took in a deep breath,

"Please, Luna help me." Mason hesitated slightly, then continued to approach her. Starlight began to kick away from him. "Please, Luna save me!" With Mason no more than yard away she threw her wings over herself and her son. "LUNA!" Suddenly her body was enveloped with a blue light and she disappeared. Ken lifted his hand to where his wife was and let out a painful cry.

"Star... Light, I'm so sorry... I failed you." His body went limp as the memory began to fade away. Twilight's tears fell over the body of Ken as he slowly faded into darkness.

"Ken... " She put a hoof where his head once laid. "How can human's be so cruel to another?" Luna merely shook her head as her eyes narrowed and her wings flapped in anger.

"Those foul humans hasn't tasted thy wrath. If I ever met those humans, I shall givith them a nightmare they won't forget."

+_+_+_+

Present Day back on Earth

"So your from a land completely filled with talking, multicolored ponies?" She smiled at him and nodded

"Yep I am. I helped with keeping the night sky clear." Ken's face was dumbfounded. He never once thought he would ever met a creature like her, let alone start dating her.

"I think it would be smart if we came up with a human name for you." Starlight looked out of the window of the car and became excited about the first thing see saw.

"Ooo, I know how about Victoria Secret." Ken busted out with laughter.

"What? I don't know about that..."

"Well I do have a secret, right? So it only seems natural that I have a fitting name to go with it."

"Victoria, I like, but perhaps we can discuss a last name over some lunch... Have you ever tried meat before?"

Ken blinked his eyes at the overhanging light. Remembering the day Starlight and him first went out into the city to shop for some clothes for her. He shook his head as the migraine came throbbing back. "Starlight... I pray that your okay..." A metallic door swung open and agent Simon entered the room with some sort of device that looked like a laser.

"Mr. Leon good to see you finally awake," He sat down and placed the menacing piece of technology on the table. Ken eyed it and then glared back to Simon. "Mighty sorry that Mason broke your arm there, but you were just being too unreasonable. You really should learn to take better hold of that, could lead to an unhappy life. Speaking of which I have some terrible news for you and well rather great news for me," Ken spat a wad of saliva onto Simon.

"I don't want anything from you!"

"Not even if it concerns your wife and son, huh? Some father you are," Ken found himself strapped to a chair as he attempted to attack Simon. "Now please just listen to me... For I think the good news might intrigue you," Ken continued to give Simon a stare of death. "Very good... We have located your wife's home planet through the tracker that was in the injection we gave her. So your son is still within reach my good sir." Ken actually became slightly hopeful that he still might see his son once more. "But I can't say the same about your wife." Ken suddenly became drained of his color and life.

"W-What?"

"According to the tracker, her life signal was lost upon arrival. She's dead Ken and for that I'm sorry." Ken twisted and turned in his anger.

"SORRY?! YOUR SORRY?! Is that just going to be the jest of it all?! My wife is dead, my son is gone, and to make it okay again is a simple SORRY!" His voice went horse from screaming at him. Simon was unmoved as he simply stared Ken in his brown eyes.

"No, a sorry won't do enough for the pain that you must be feeling. So I am going to be a generous man and I'm going to leave you with a present on the behalf of the CIA." Ken scowled and growled at him.

"Yeah and what is that?" Simon snapped his fingers and two men came from behind Ken and grabbed his head. Simon moved around the table and made the device approach Ken. "Wait, what are you going to do with that?"

"I'm a kind man Mr. Leon and I know how much losing someone close to you can be one of the most painful experiences that one could ever face. So I'm going to make it like your wife was never here. No memory equals no pain. No need to thank me, just accept it as my condolences for your loss." Ken squirmed in the chair.

"No please you don't understand I want to remember her. I would rather be kept in a prison than to lose any of my memories with her." Simon was unaltered as he turned on the laser.

"Sorry, Ken. It's for the best." The men held back Ken's eyelids as the laser began to wipe away most of the precious memories of Starlight. Ken's screams echoed in the room as everything he held dearest to him was stripped away from his mind.
.

The Dawning of a new beginning

The Dawning of a new beginning

"Daring do was surrounded by the venomous snakes as the walls began to close in around her. She didn't lose her cool as all seemed hopeless," Jason watched intently from Spikes lap as he flipped another page of the book. "Suddenly out of nowhere there was a loud crash and the ceiling caved in on her..."

Ironically Luna and Twilight flashed back into the library at the same time. Both of them wore long, sorrowful faces from what they had witnessed. Twilight’s face went cross, “Those... those humans. I swear if I get my hooves on them I’ll… I’ll”

“We mustn’t forget… the love they’re also capable of.” Luna’s tear filled eye’s drifted to the diminutive child laying on Spike’s lap. “Jason is the product of how much love a human can possess.”

Jason let out a small giggle as a dark blue aura surrounded his tiny figure. Luna let one tear fall as she brought him into her forelegs. She cradled him into her arms and gently rubbed his orange clothing over his belly with her hoof. She leaned down to him and kissed his forehead. "Jason... I will not let you fall into those wicked human's hands. You will be safe here in Equestria."

Spike placed the book down and gave Luna a look of concern. "Twilight what happened in Jason's memories?"

Twilight shook her head. "Trust me Spike," She began to cry as she turned her head to Jason. "It's a painful tale and I don't think you’re ready to hear it yet." Twilight leaned over and kissed Jason on the forehead. “Sweet little Jason. I’m sorry things have come to you losing both your parents."

Luna rubbed her cheek lightly against his head. “I will find you a home little one... Until then, you can stay with me at the palace.” Luna then raised her head and gave Twilight a determined look. "I've decided that for Jason...Ken must be brought to Equestria for his son,"

At hearing this Twilight shook her head. "What? How do you plan on doing that? Can you even teleport human's here?"

Upon hearing these question's, Luna lowered her head. "Not that I'm aware. The planet is far stretched beyond our own galaxy's belt. I don't think I can do it alone" She softly rubbed Jason's back with her hoof. "But I think I know someone who can help."

Twilight gave her a confused stare. Then her eyes opened wide in realization. "Wait... Him? You think that would wise to ask him any favors?"

"What other choice do I have Twilight?" Luna lovingly stared down to Jason, who was content on the taste of his fingers. "Jason needs his father and my magic alone won't be enough for the teleport there and back. I just hope my sister will be able understand my reasoning."

Twilight eyes went to Luna down to Jason and then slowly back to Luna. 'Why doesn't she just keep him herself... She's just the mother figure Jason needs in his life.' She then turned her head to Spike who just shrugged in response.

Suddenly spike let out loud belching burp and a scroll popped out with green flames dissipating into the air. Jason lightly giggled at this.

"A letter from my sister no doubt?" Luna asked as she eyed the scroll that fell into the claws of Spike.

Spike nodded. Opening it up, he began to read aloud. "Dear Sister of mine. I have received your letter with a heavy heart. Two of my finest guardsmen have already brought the body of the beloved Starlight to the home of her parents. I have posted the tragedy throughout the kingdom announcing it to inform those who were close to her. I have dispatched a small party of guards to accompany you to Canterlot. Please come with all haste something has been brought to my attention and also bring Starlight's foal to me. I would very much like to greet our newest pony into Equestria. Your older sister with love, Tia."

Twilight looked to Jason. "I wonder what Celestia's reaction will be when she sees him." she wondered.aloud.

"I don't know, Twilight. He's now a part of this kingdom, that I know my sister will agree to. I can only hope she will understand my reasons for attempting such a task to rescue Jason's father."

Twilight stepped toward her and put a hoof on her shoulder. "I believe she will." Her bangs lightly bounced as she stared to the infant and smiled. "Jason is something special."

Jason cooed and kicked excitedly at the loving gaze of Twilight.

Luna giggled softly at Jason. "He likes you Twilight." Luna said with a warm smile. She then sighed, "Could you please come with me to the see my sister? I really could use your insight for the task ahead of me."

Twilight gave her a pause before nodding. "Yes Princess I will be more than happy to assist you on this matter." Silence filled the library as The lavender alicorn tapped her hoof to her chin in deep thought. “The thing I don’t understand Princess. is how did Starlight end up in that world in the first place. I mean what possible way is there for a pegasis to travel through time and space so fast without use of magic? Did you even know of the planets existence beforehoof?”

Gently rocking Jason back and forth, Luna glanced in Twilight’s direction and spoke in a soft voice. "There is a secret hidden away under the Canterlot palace. Once all is taken care of, I will share with you that secret. Only royalty may know."

Suddenly there was a knocking at Twilight's door. A gentle, but stern voice could be heard from the other side.

"Your highness we have come to escort you to the palace." The stallion's voice hit Luna and she let out a happy sigh. Twilight noticed this trotted to the door and opened it. Outside the library stood three white royal guards and one crimson Bat pony with pitch black armor. His Scarlet eyes softly stared at Twilight. He held a air of authority and nobility as he stood with attention to the door opening. The Bat pony respectively lowered his head and his dark gray mane lightly draped down over his face. The other guards were soon to follow his lead. "Princess Twilight, It is a honor to be in your presence."

Twilight blushed at the formalities being given from the bat pony. "Oh um please... I'm not used to the whole bowing thing, you don't need to do that."

The bat pony slowly lifted his head back up and saw Princess Luna.

Luna widely smiled at him and gently lowered Jason to Spikes arms. Spike adjusted to the little infants weight as the moon princess made her way to the door. "Spirit, you’re just the stallion I was hoping to show up."

He bowed his head once more.

"Spirit?" Twilight asked.

Luna nodded then gestured to the crimson pony with her hoof. "This is my most trusted Guard Stallion. Protective Spirit."

"The honor is all mine your Majesty, I'm humbled by your kind words." Spirit's kind smile stretched over his gums exposing his fanged Front teeth.

"It's very nice to meet you Spirit. Would you care to come in while we get ready to leave?"

The bat stallion shook his head and straightened his posture "No your highness, Princess Celestia has made it perfectly clear that we are to not dawdle with anything else than to deliver both Luna and the foal to Canterlot," Spirit turned to guards. "Ready the chariot for the foal!"

The other white stallions saluted and yelled in unison, "Yes sir!" They quickly dispatched to their task as they started produce a white basket, with the sun princess's royal crest, and a few silky blankets. While the guards were distracted with their small task, Luna and twilight stepped back into the library to ready themselves.

"Princess Luna?" Twilight called her attention. "I'm concerned as to what other ponies might think of Jason. He's adorable and everything, but I can't shake this feeling that some ponies might react to him as humans reacted to ponies on earth."

Luna's head quickly disagreed with her. "Twilight if there is one thing I've come to understand from human's actions thus far, is that they fear things unknown to them and try to control it for a sense of stability. My subjects of this kingdom are not of ill will when it comes to the unexplained."

"I just hope you're right... For Jason's sake"

Luna secretly agreed with twilight. She turned her attention to the Spike still holding the content baby in his arms. "Spike will you continue to hold Jason while Twilight and me get some supplies ready for the trip?"

"You got it Princess, I don't mind being with my little brother."

Luna's eyes softened at the cute sight of Spike cradling the tiny baby in his arms.

The morning sun was a little bothersome to Spirit. He was accustomed to night operations and had very few chances to move about during the daytime. He let out a small yawn as he brought up his red hoof to his mouth. The other royal guards were strapped to the chariot ready for the departure.

The wooden door to the library slowly opened up and revealing Luna with a saddlebag and Jason wrapped inside of her wing. She was followed by Twilight and Spike as they made their way to the side of the chariot where the steps were lowered. .

Spirit noticed the strange looking figure inside the nook of Luna’s wing. He rose his brow and narrowed his eyes to get a better look. The baby that he saw surprised him greatly as he shook his head and stared back at the infant.

Jason stood out against her dark blue fur with his orange clothing on. Seeing him snuggling against luna, Spirit merely smiled at the tiny human as Luna stepped up onto the Chariot. Carefully, she lifted her wing up out in front of her and kissed Jason's forehead as lowered him into the basket. Feeling the soft warm silk of the blue blankets below him, Jason lifted his thumb to his mouth as he rolled and curled up into a orange ball.

Luna adoringly gazed at him for a bit before turning her attention to the other alicorn "Twilight if you would, please?" Luna asked.

Twilight nodded and turned to her assistant, who looked up with his slitted pupils widened at the sad knowledge he would have to stay. Twilight saw this and nuzzled his purple cheek. "It's okay Spike, I won't be long. Make sure everything stays organized while I'm gone, Okay."

"Okay," his eyes were filled with a touch of sadness. Spike glanced over to Luna sitting behind Twilight. "Will I ever see Jason again Princess?" He asked in apprehension.

"Of course you will Spike, I'll be sure to locate him with his father near Ponyville. That way you can see him anytime you wish." Luna smiled warmly at him.

Twilight hopped on next to Luna and sat down as Spirit flew out in front of the other guards. “Okay stallions, onward to Canterlot.”

With a powerful pull, the Chariot was pulled forward and upwards towards the sky. Spike covered his eyes as a bit of dust blew past him. He then watched after the retreating form of the group as it headed it’s way toward the mountains which supported the royal city of Canterlot. Taking a saddened sigh, he waved after them while whispering to himself, “I’ll see you again my baby brother.”

After they disappeared from view, he turned to the library and headed his way inside. “Better get to work. Don’t want Twilight giving me another lecture.” he closed the door behind him.

-_-_-_-

The evening sky was pink as the sun brushed the rooftops of the urbanized community. Ken was in his kitchen sitting down at his table with one hand on his face. The other was casted and swollen in his lap. Depressed he hadn’t moved for the duration of that day. He was unmoved as the tea kettle started to blow out in steam and whistle it high pitched scream. Another set of steps could be heard coming from the hallway. “Honey, aren’t you going to move,” A redheaded woman wearing a crimson t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts came out of the doorframe. Her bare feet lightly clapped on the tile floor as she made her way to Ken. Her flowing hair brushed his shoulder and he lightly turned to look up to her.

“Vicky, I appreciate that you’re here, I feel like you’re one of my only friends I have left.” Next to him on the counter laid a newspaper with a headline that read ‘Respected Doctor Suspected Loon’. Ken lowered his head

“You should really be resting… not everyday that you survive a terrible bike crash like you did.” she gestured to his bandaged hand and head.

“But I never owned a bike… GAHH!” Ken grabbed his head in pain as attempted to think on the past.”

Vicky looked to him with a sorrowful glance and sighed. She then took notice to the paper next to him. “What are you reading?”

Ken grabbed the paper and threw it across the table.

Vicky while tending to making vanilla chai tea with some honey, glanced back to see the words written in small print. “Child born with wings... That would be the day wouldn’t it?” She lightly giggled as she spoke at ken without looking. She spun around with two hot cups of steaming tea with its sweet aroma filling the air. Looking to Ken, who had a zombified expression on his face, gave him his tea and smiled. “Sweetheart… it’s going to be okay…”

He shook his head in the palms of his hands. “There’s something about this… This story… I...I feel like I know about this child…”

“Children aren’t born with wings. You know that, don’t you?”

He lifted his head away from his hands and looked to her. “I… I know that it’s not true, but…” His voice was cut off by Vicky’s cute cell phone chime.

She peered down and nodded. “Sorry to cut this short, however work is high priority.” Running over to the corner of the kitchen, she slipped on her laceless black shoes and headed her way toward Ken. Without much other words exchanged, she kissed him on top of his head and ran out the back door.

Ken watched as she disappeared behind the white wooden door as it closed shut echoing the emptiness of the home. No sounds followed as Ken just stared at the door. Visions of blurry figures formed as he could make out some kind of female laughing and giggling. It was like staring at a washed out painting. No define lines or depth as it seemed to be some sort of illusion. A faint voice rang in the depths of his mind. “Ken…”

“W-who are y-you…”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

He shook his head from the hollow echo of bone against the front door. “Um.. hold for a moment please.” He stood up and felt his muscles lightly tense up a little. “Oh… I’m coming!” Making his way into the living room he looked over the blue carpet and sighed as he worked around the furniture to the front door.

On opening the door there stood a beautiful girl with violet eyes and had bluish silver hair. She seemed oddly familiar to him, but not to seem rude he extended his hand and greeted her. “Hello there how can I help you?”

Her hair lightly bounced as she lowered her head and sighed. “May I please come in?”

Ken shrugged his shoulders and moved to the side. “Sure I don’t see any problem in that.”
On entering she noticed his arm in a cast . “Ken, what did they do to you?!”

His face was in a puzzled state at her knowing his name. He glanced at his arm and again shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t remember... when I try to I get these massive headaches. According to the hospital bill I received, I was treated for hitting my head and breaking my arm while riding my bike. Which, funny enough, I don’t ever remember owning,” Letting out a slight chuckle he turned to walk into the house. “Please have yourself a seat, would you like anything to drink? I have some tea in the kitchen.”

“Water would be just fine for me.” She made her way into the quaint house. There was nothing left to indicate that he lived with anyone else. All the photos were of only him and the entirety of the home seemed to lack that female flair.

Ken nodded his head and walked into the kitchen to retrieve her a cup of water. Upon his return, she sadly smiled up to him and then turned her head away from him. Ken noticed this and sat down on the couch opposite of her.

“Is everything okay, would you like to have something to eat as well?” Her violet eyes continued to stare at the floor below her.

“No…I’m not very hungry.” her tone of voice just full of remorse and sorrow.

“What’s the matter?”

She turned to look at him with water glisting from his heartfelt question. “I’ve just… I got a lot on my mind and I just don’t know how to go about it... You see I hurt somepo... Somebody close to me.”

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but who you did you hurt?”

Ken lowered the water in front of her and she took a drink. Finishing the glass, the cup parted from her lips and she looked at glass for a moment. Little tears fell from the corner of her eyes as she gazed into his. “Someone that I love and care for.” She dropped the cup as she placed her head into the palms of her hands. “I don’t think he would ever forgive me!” She sobbed as her body shook lightly.

Ken hopped around the table and sat down gently beside her. “I’m sorry to hear that sounds like you loved him alot.”

She pulled her head up from her hands and rested her cheek on his shoulder. Slightly sobbing she glanced up to him. “I still do and I just want to see him happy once more.”

Ken gave her a comforting hug with his one good hand. “I’m sure you’ll make him very happy... What’s your name by the way?”

She slowly pulled away and stared out the window for a few moments.

“Please call me... ”

I know it's short from a long wait, but this is just to get me going again... I finally pulled my head back up from my depression and I'm ready to tackle the elements once more. I'm truly sorry for how long you all have waited and I will try to never have you wait that long again.

Duty Bound

The cool morning wind ran through Luna’s long starry mane as she looked out over the land of her Kingdom. Her sister’s sun rose to just grace the tips of Canterlot residents homes, teasing them with it’s warmth. Thats when the glimmering golden tips of the Canterlot castle came into view. The castle was nothing more than a far growth upon the mountains face, but even so it was still quite wondrous to behold. Luna’s eyes hovered over the many falls and rises of spires and towers of her home. The golden rays bouncing of them with a brilliance of color and light.

“Ten more minutes your majesty!” The white pegasi guard yelled back at the princesses.

Luna peered over her shoulder to see that Spirit was overlooking everything on the flight. She knew with him all was in well capable hooves.

The baby squeaked out a yawn causing Luna to look down upon him with a smile. The ‘Angel’ known as Jason was asleep, suckling on his own fingers. It was the product manifestation of love between a human and pegasi. There was certainly going to be controversies with her older sister on this matter, but that wasn’t until then. For now this adorable baby was her responsibility, her duty and she was going to see to it that it was well taken care of.

Coming back to the thought of her older sister made her frown slightly. “She is indeed going to have a surprise seeing this.” Luna thought to herself as she lightly tightened the blankets around Jason with a hoof. She could feel his tiny wings gently wrapped around his back. Never in her life had she seen a more adorable set of baby wings. In bringing her hoof up to gently touch his head, she then took notice to something else that the sun revealed in the newborns hair. As far as the small patch of brown goes, there were also little strands of blue. Unmistakable trademarks of his mother’s genes in him.

Taking a glance to her left, Luna saw that the purple alicorn, Twilight Sparkle, was also taking in his little features surprisingly without quill and parcel. One could say Twilight was fascinated by the baby and yet not enough to make her want the little one for herself. A thought that haunted Luna. Whom, except for his own father, would take in such a wonderful baby boy and understand his needs?

“Princess Luna.” A guards voice picked her head up away from Jason. “We have arrived your majesty.”

It felt strange to arrive in this fashion. This was her home and somehow it felt entirely different. She lifted up the basket and stepped off toward the castle towering above her. Knowing that she would have to explain the small being in her care, she gently covered the basket with the blanket inside. This in turn made Jason giggle and kick about. “Shh little one.” Luna’s softened tone accompanied with a feathery stroke of her wing made Jason nearly fall asleep. Luna turned to the guards and nodded. “Lets be on our way then.”

The guards fell into a formation and trotted together in a march toward the main hall. Twilight was unfazed by the sounds of hooves as she held her concerned stare at the child. She continued to keep up with the group as they made their way up the steps and into the heart of the castle.

Luna gently covered the basket with her wing as to hide Jason from view from the numerous town ponies that were meeting with the sun princess that day. They grouped up in the hallways and waited for their turn. Usually it was to ask for small favors or if some of their small unicorn colts could join the School of Talented Unicorns. The Princess of the night was greeted with bows as she neared the throne room doors. “Good morning to you all.” Luna smiled to all of the ponies. “It is very nice to see you.”

Whispers of ‘Its the new princess Twilight’ was lingering in the hallways and it made the purple alicorn blush and lower her head from slight embarrassment.

Tittering to herself from Twilights reaction from the other ponies, Luna took her hoof and placed on the alicorn embossed metal door. “I must thank you again for coming with me, Twilight. It gives me comfort to know that you’re here.” She pushed forward to reveal the long throne room that lead to the two thrones of Night and Day. Celestia was perched on hers with her long regal wings spread out in a welcoming gesture. What would always catch Luna’s eye was the striking bright white that shone from Celestia’s coat and the flowing colors of her mane and tail that seemed to catch the very essence of the suns rays.

“Good morning my sister.” The mare of the sun beamed down from her throne to the approaching Luna and Twilight.

“A beautiful morning to you as well my older sibling.” Luna respectively nodded her head as Twilight bowed.

Celestia giggled softly. “Twilight how many times must I tell you that you don’t have to bow to me any longer now that you’re a princess?” Her golden chestplate reflected the sunbeams as she turned her body to the two alicorns.

“I’m not quite used to all this your majesty, but I’ll get the hang of it.” Twilight blushed lightly with a awkward smile.

The light seemed to have hit Jason as he began to fuss inside of the basket. The white alicorn shifted her eyes to Luna’s wing. “Is that the colt?” Celestia’s voice softened to match that of a mothers.

In a reluctant nod, Luna opened her wing to let the blanket covered Jason be revealed inside of the basket. Jason, who was in a blinking panic due to the blinding light, darted his eyes around the throne room. He gabbled incoherently as he looked about, but as his eyes landed on the sun princess he stopped talking all together to stare at her. Celestia was matching his stare in wonder.

Celestia’s jaw opened slowly as she gawked at the infant. “What have you brought me sister?” she slowly approached the baby wings spread to the new creature.

Jason took her in with his shining blue eyes. With tiny hands, he raised them up toward the towering authority. Silence filled the room as the two neared with Celestia’s head lowering into the basket. Her muzzle neared the baby’s face as he softly placed both his hands on her.

“I bring you the colt of Starlight Skydancer.” Luna finally spoke cutting into the still air of the room. “His name is Jason.”

“Jason.” Celestia smiled and softly brushed the fur at the tip of her muzzle against the baby’s tummy, awarding her with a bright and cheery giggle.

“He’s a Human Princess Celestia.” Twilight chimed in. “They are much like us in ways of speech and writing, but they seem to be a....”

“A species that doesn’t exist on our planet?” Celestia lifted her head and the smile now faded into one of a serious frown. “Did you keep something from me my sister?” She gently picked up Jason into her forehooves and fanned out his little wings with her golden magic. “Or did this human’s mother fly all the way to the planet?”

“Sister I… I was meaning to tell you about that night.” Luna sighed.

“You have my undivided attention.” Celestia was cold with her words.

Luna then went into how she was surveying the dreams of Starlight and her love bond with the human Ken. How she invited her to come to the castle and granted her that she had wished for. Celestia merely sat with Jason in her arms listening and allowing the baby to suck on her fur.

“How did Starlight die then?”

Luna and Twilight looked at each other for a fraction of a second before Luna started to speak. “It was the human named Simon. Him and his large group of others swarmed both Ken and Starlight in an attempt to capture her and the newborn. In their efforts they harmed Starlight fatally and caused great pain to Ken. I believe that Ken is still living.”

“Tell me my sister, why would these humans attack or harm Starlight and her baby?” Celestia’s straight face was unnerving to look at and Twilight’s eyes darted elsewhere.

Luna was able to hold her gaze as she answered the question. “It was out of spite and greed that they struck down our kind.”

“Perhaps it was out of fear of the unknown.” The eyes of the sun princess glanced down at Jason. “ Regardless, there is nothing I can do to bring them to justice.”

Luna followed her sisters glance at the baby. “Sister… he’s all alone. There is now no family of his here for him. In the best interests of Jason I have decided to recruit the help of discord to help me retrieve the boys father.”

“No.” Celestia’s words were solid iron.

“I’m sorry, but I will not accept no.” Luna matched the tone

Twilight backed away as she felt the tension beginning to form. Celestia with the soft warm glow of her horn levitated Jason to the hooves of Spirit, who had came into the throne room.

“You dare go against my word?” The White alicorn stood up and spread her large wings in challenge of the rebellious mare of the night.

“I have decided this for the better of the child.” Luna spread her wings in response. “I’m going to Earth for Ken.” Her tone grew dark and deep as her eyes narrowed on her elder sister’s.

“That is not your decision to make Luna. You have no judicial power over what… human comes to our world.” Celestia hesitated at remembering Jason’s species. “You sending Starlight to Earth was outside of what needed to be discussed as shared authority.”

“I took it as my responsibility to fulfill her wish to be with the one she loved the most!” Luna’s horn lightly glowed as she stepped forward toward her sister.

“Your duty is to protect these ponies, not send them across the galaxy!” Celestia yelled irritated.

“I know my place sister and I have honorable reason for the things I have done.” Luna growled low causing the baby to start crying. Both Alicorns continued to lock their stares as the cry of Jason rang out of the palace. “I must Tia… I must retrieve Jason’s father.”

Celestia lowered her wings and sighed. “As much as I wish with all my heart that could happen Luna, I can not allow you to do that. Think of what’s already at stake here. Even you know what would happen if something should happen to you. Open your eyes Luna your duty is here.” Celestia looked at the baby who sniffled and sobbed in the hooves of Spirit. “Do as you have promised and find our newest citizen a home. I have other matters to attend to regarding the city and recent magic storms forming over the sea.”

Luna wanted to fight her with a fluff of her feathers, but knew that her sister was too set in her views on the matter. Without a word, Luna went to Spirit and scooped up Jason into her forehooves.

“Your majesty?” Spirit asked.

In a huff of slight anger, Luna turned from him and headed her way into the hall where the other town ponies awaited their turn with the princess. They all bowed as soon as she showed her nocturnal mane flowing past the door. Twilight and Spirit looked after her as she disappeared from view.

Twilight was now at a loss for words as she looked back to the throne where Celestia returned to hear the matters and voices of the kingdom. Looking to her left was Spirit, who was concerned as ever as a guardspony of the night princess. “I’m sure they just had a little fight like any other siblings, right?” Twilight asked awkwardly

“I’m not sure… I have only seen her angry like this only once since she returned.” Spirit replied.

“Your Highness!” A new voice came from the entryway of the large hall.

Twilight turned her head and saw that another of Luna’s most trusted guard was standing in the door frame gesturing for her to come to him. The first thing that caught the lavender alicorn’s attention was the darkened armor with purple sashes, indicating a high rank of the Lunar Guard.The stallion stood near the doorway with his deep blue coat shimmering in the sunlight.

He bowed low with his helmet in his hooves and his wings spread out. “I’m here to report the activity of the night guard,” he said beneath his rusty brown mane.

Twilight smiled as she approached him. “Feather Book. How good it is to see you again this morning.” She nodded her head to acknowledge the respect he showed her.

“Yes, it is good to see you too, Your Highness,” he said. He glanced at Twilight. “Do you wish for me to report now?”

Spirit shook his head. “At the moment all guards are relieved of duty and are to report as of tomorrow. If you would, can you accompany her majesty Twilight to where she wishes to go. I must complete my final round before sleep.”

“Of course,” he said with a smaller bow. “Please, Your Majesty, lead the way.”

Twilight smiled and headed her way toward Luna’s room with Feather next to her side. “Goodbye Spirit, I hope we meet again.”

“I hope so too your highness.” Spirit closed the throne room doors and disappeared behind them.

Twilight then directed her attention to the handsome pegasus next to her. “Feather, its so nice to see you again. I’m sure you remember me from before I was a princess and everything.” She tried to begin with.

“Of course I do, Your Highness,” he said with a kind smile. “Where do you wish to be escorted to?”

“I wish to check with Luna before I leave for home.” Twilight then slightly looked down as she tried to recall something. The only sound that came from her was the sounds of her hooves echoing off the tile of the long hall that lead to the staircase. “So do you have any family around here?” She tried to break the silence between them.

“My sister lives in Canterlot,” he said. “The rest of my family live just outside Trottingham.”

“What does your sister do here in Canterlot?”

“She’s a policemare,” he said. “A Detective.”

“Oh yes that is an exciting field of work, I remember my fair share of becoming a detective when the marzapan madness was being transported here for the dessert festival. What’s her name?” They began to ascend the spiralling stairs toward the top of the tower to Luna’s room.

“Dark Scroll,” he said. “And here we are, Your Highness.”

“Oh… that… was fast.” She looked at the obsidian coated door with a shimmering white moon opal knobs. The stars themselves seemed to be in the door twinkling. “Well Feather I do hope you and I meet again. You have been a great escort.”

“Thank you, Your Highness. Have a pleasant day,” he said with a bow.

With a wave goodbye with her hoof, Twilight watched as the stallion trotted away back downstairs. She then turned to the beautiful door and knocked on it. It opened up slowly and Luna poked her head out.

“Twilight?” Luna asked.

“You asked me to come with you remember?” Twilight said nervously. “So I wished to check if everything was okay before I left for Ponyville.”

“Yes… I’m well.” Luna softly sighed. “Thank you very much for accompanying me today. You being present with me and Jason meant something to us both”

“Of course princess. That’s what friends do for each other!” Twilight smiled, but felt like she had not done much in aiding the night princess.

“I have to tend to finding Jason a new home. May I count on you in helping me?”

“It would be my pleasure. I will do all that I can in helping Jason out.”

“Thank you Twilight. You are a very good friend.” Luna nodded her head respectively. “I’ll have the train ride paid for your return home.”

“Thank you, but are you sure you don’t need anything else from me except looking for a home for Jason?” Twilight asked hoping to be more of an asset.

“Not at the moment, Twilight thank you.” Luna pulled back from the doorway as the door slowly began to close with not much sound. “Farewell Princess Sparkle.” Luna pushed the door nearly shut, but left a small crack into the room.

“Farewell… I guess.” Twilight slightly lowered her head as she began to step lightly down the hall. “I suppose my new mission is to find Jason a suitable home.”

Jason’s cry screeched into the hallway, making Twilight lower her ears to the back of her head and cringe low. She then pulled her head up as she turned back in a gallop to the door. She was about to open with force when suddenly the baby started to loudly sob. Noticing that the door had a small crack, she pushed it slowly to see Luna in the dim room with Jason wrapped up in her forehooves as she rocked him.

Luna hummed as she tried to recall the song that his mother sung to him. “Shh… it’s okay little one… I’m here. Hush now my love, precious please don't cry...” Jason almost immediately stopped crying,but he was still being fussy. Luna smiled at how much an effect it had. She lowered her head and nuzzled his little nose as she sang the song.

“Listen to your Momma's lullaby,

As you grow up through the years

I will be there to wipe your tears

here to hold you in my arms, never to say goodbye”

Twilight’s eyes peered in deeper through the crack of the door as she watched the princess.

“Know that I'm by your side

Don't worry for I will be your guide.

Be strong my sweet love, always be true

Your Momma will always be proud of you.”

Luna shed a single tear as she sang,

“You brighten my night with your smile

No matter what they say, you will be my child

I will adore whatever you do

Always know that your Momma loves you...

At that last verse, twilight smiled and pulled her head back from the door as she turned down the hall. In a soft voice twilight spoke to herself, “I believe I don't have to look any farther.”
