Chapter Two

As the crack of dawn arrived in Equestria, Princess Celestia stood outside on the balcony giving rise to the sun, casting a blanket of warmth over the land. She smiled proudly, closing her eyes softly, and took in the fresh morning air. Mm… I believe it is going to be a beautiful day. She opened her eyes back up to look over her home. I guess I’ll go see if Lulu is awake yet. She turned back to trot inside, and headed to her sister’s room.

Luna started to stir in her sleep as she let out a light yawn, softly blinking her eyes open. She turned her head to look down at the small, sleeping form of the young child curled up underneath her wing. She gave a warm smile as she very carefully used her wing to stroke along his side. He is such a precious little child. How could some pony hurt him like this, especially if those two ponies are his own parents? She let out a quiet, yet heavy sigh, and felt tears sting her eyes.

Princess Celestia trotted into Luna’s room with a warm smile on her face. “Good morning Lulu, how are…” She cut herself off when she saw the small creature curled up against the side of her sister, and she gasped. “Sister, why is there a human sleeping on your bed for, and how did it get here?” A look of shock was etched across her face.

Luna turned to Celestia, placing a hoof against her lips “Shh… Tia. You are going to wake the poor little dear.” She looked down to see Timmy stir a little, but remain sleeping. She delicately inched herself off the bed, so not to disturb the sleeping child, and quietly trotted over to her older sister.

“Luna, you know that humans are foreign to our land, and are possibly dangerous. What in the name of Equestria could have gotten you to bring one here?” Celestia wore a look of sternness, yet curiosity.

Luna let out a heavy sigh, frowning up at Celesita, and then turning back to look at Timmy. “Oh Tia, it was awful! Last night, when I was raising the moon, I heard the mind of the little one. What I discovered in his dream was horrible.” She allowed a stray tear to shed down her cheek.

Celestia immediately looked on concerned at her sister. She placed a wing gently over her back, and looked over at the sleeping child. “What did happen in his dream dear sister?” She looked back at Luna with a sad smile, but stroked at her back softly with a wing.

Luna let out a heavy sigh. “When I entered into his dream to begin with, I heard a sharp cry, and I could tell that it was that of a hurt little colt. So I followed the direction of the crying, and when I approached the room it was coming from, I was appalled to find that the poor child’s own parents were hurting him.” Luna looked over at the little boy, with a frown upon her face, and allowed another single tear to roll down her cheek.

Celestia gasped as she too looked over at Timmy, and quietly trotted over to the bed, followed by Luna. She looked over the colt, seeing how tattered his clothes were, that his short brown mane was disheveled, and he looked like he was poorly nourished. A frown crept across her face as she watched him sleep quietly.

After a couple of minutes, Timmy started to stir in sleep, letting out a light yawn, and blinking his eyes open. Once he opened them, he looked up to see the two princesses standing over him, and immediately crawled backwards up against the head of the bed. He looked at both with fear in his eyes, trembling like a leaf.

Celestia smiled sadly at the frightened child “Calm down little one, I’m not going to hurt you.” She gently trotted closer as Luna gave Timmy a reassuring smile. Celestia reached a hoof up, and gently touched the little boy’s hand “Hello sweetheart, my name is Princess Celestia, and you’ve already met my sister, Princess Luna.” Luna smiled warmly and gave him a soft nod.

Timmy eased his fears a little as he gave Celestia a little smile. “Hi Princess Celestia, my name is Timmy,” he spoke in a small, soft tone. “Miss Luna chased away my bad dream last night,” he let out a whimper as he gave the royal blue alicorn a soft smile.

Celestia felt her heart melt, and very gently lifted a wing over his small form, bringing him close to her in a comforting embrace. Luna allowed her tears to flow freely as she watched her sister embrace the little colt, and she trotted closer, placing one of her wings over Timmy, as both sisters hugged him warmly.

Luna spoke softly “We promise to never let any harm come to thou anymore Timmy.” The two sisters each gave him a tender kiss on the top of his head, and carefully unwrapped their wings from around him. Luna smiled warmly down at him “Come with us little one. Let’s go find thou something to eat.” She stroked along his back with a wing before gently levitating him up onto her back.

He wrapped his little arms around her neck, causing Luna and Celestia to smile tearfully at the gesture, and they exited Luna’s bedroom to head toward the palace’s dining hall.

Once they arrived at the dining hall, Celestia asked for one of the castle’s chefs to cook the child some oatmeal and the three took their seats at the table, with Timmy sitting comfortably on a red satin pillow. He looked all around the dining hall with a face of wander “Miss Luna, Miss Celestia, this is a very pretty place. If I can ask, where am I?”

Luna laid a wing over him as she sat on her haunches beside him “Well little one, thou are in the land of Equestria. This is the home of ponies of unicorn, earth, Pegasus, and us; alicorn heritage. We all live in peace and harmony here.”

Celestia nodded in agreement “And I am the princess of the sun, which means I control the day in Equestria.” She spoke softly as she gave the little colt a warm smile.

“And I am the princess of the night, which means I control the night, and just like last night, I keep all ponies calmed when they are asleep.” Luna stroked along Timmy’s back with her wing.

Soon the chef entered into the dining hall with a tray on his back. The tray contained a small bowl of fresh oatmeal, a glass of milk, and a teapot with two small teacups. He trotted up the dining table, and carefully placed the tray onto it. The royal sisters nodded at him, and he bowed his head before trotting out of the dining hall.

Timmy looked at the oatmeal, and smiled softy up at the princesses “Thank you Miss Luna and Miss Celestia. I like oatmeal,” he said softly as he grabbed the spoon provided, and took his first bite.

Luna continued to rub along his back with her wing “There is no need to thank us little one.” She looked at her sister, and leaned her head forward to whisper “Tia, I think after Timmy eats his oatmeal, I am going to go give him a bath. He does need to get cleaned up, but I don’t know if we have any clothes for him, and he can’t wear those same tattered clothes from last night.” She gave a sad smile, and looked back down at the small child.

Celestia used a wing to rub at Luna’s back, and whispered in response “Don’t worry Lulu, I believe I have a solution to that little problem. I will write a letter to Twilight Sparkle and invite her, along with the other Elements of Harmony to visit. Then we could ask if Rarity could make the little one an outfit.”

“That is a great idea Tia.” Luna smiled happily at Celestia, and then turned back to the little boy as he ate at his oatmeal.

Celestia nodded in agreement as she levitated a scroll and quill that was available, and started to write.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

My sister and I would like to invite you, and the other Elements of Harmony to Canterlot Castle. We also would like to introduce you all to a special little visitor we have come to care for. Be aware that this little one is a creature foreign to our land known as a human, but he poses no threat to us, or all pony kind.

Also, we would like to request for the Element of Generosity, Rarity to consider making an outfit for this child. His name is Timmy, and he is such a precious little boy, but he has suffered a great amount of pain. We will be waiting for your arrival.

Your princess and teacher,

Princess Celestia

Celestia smiled proudly as she used her magic to make the letter vanish in a flash as her and Luna continued to watch Timmy enjoy his breakfast.

As Luna watched the child, she thought to herself don’t worry Timmy, we are going to take good care of you, I promise.

Chapter Three

In the town of Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was stirring in her sleep as Celestia’s sun beamed through the window of her bedroom in the Golden Oaks Library. She smiled warmly as she let out a yawn, stretched out both her hind and forelegs, and carefully climbed out of bed. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.

She sighed softly, and turned to look at Spike sleeping soundly in his basket. Letting out a light giggle, she trotted over to the sleeping baby dragon, leaned her head down toward his, and nuzzled at his cheek. “Spike, it’s time to wake up sleepy head.” She smiled warmly at her assistant and friend as he opened his eyes groggily.

“Uh… just five more minutes Twilight, please?” He pleaded tiredly and flipped over onto his side, facing his back toward her.

Twilight rolled her eyes, letting out a giggle, and turned to trot downstairs. “Alright Spike, just five more minutes, then you…” She was cut off by a loud belch, and snapped her head back at the baby dragon. A scroll appeared in his emerald flames. “Hmm… it’s a letter from Princess Celestia, but I wonder why she would send one this early in the day.” A curious look formed across her face as she levitated the scroll over to her.

She used her magic to unroll it and began reading the letter.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Your princess and teacher,

Princess Celestia

Twilight squinted her eyes curiously reading over the letter again, paying real close attention to the words ‘foreign creature’ and ‘human’. She placed a hoof up to her chin hmm… a human? Oh, this sounds very interesting indeed. A beaming smile crept across her face and she clapped her fore hooves together. I can study this creature, and maybe write a thesis about my results. She shook her head of the thoughts and looked at Spike “Spike, do you think you can hold the fort down while I’m gone?”

Spike was no flipped over onto his belly as he lifted a single claw, waving it back and forth. Twilight rolled her eyes, letting out another light giggle before trotting downstairs, and exited the library to go gather the other Elements of Harmony.

In the town of Canterlot, the residents were outside enjoying the beautiful morning. While some were taking a stroll along the streets, others were enjoying their daily morning coffee at Doughnut Joes. Yes, it seemed to be going peacefully on the outside of Canterlot Caster, but on the inside a certain royal unicorn stallion was waking up from his slumber.

Prince Blueblood, the nephew of Princess Celestia, who also resided within the castle, carefully climbed out of his bed, and stretched out both sets of legs. He let out a loud, exaggerated yawn, and looked out of his palace room window that overlooked the royal gardens. Well, it looks like it is going to be a great day today. I better go see what’s for breakfast. He turned away from the window and headed to exit his room.

He used his magic to open the doors, and was about to trot out into the corridor, but saw the palace chef trotting down the hallway with one of the many palace maids. He could see them conversing to each other and decided to quickly back away inside his room, shutting his doors slightly to eavesdrop.

“Oh, so the princesses have a new member to add to the royal family?” The maid spoke as they got closer to Blueblood’s bedroom.

“Yes, and the young lad looks like he hasn’t eaten in days. I’m just glad that I could fix him something to eat. The poor boy,” the chef spoke with a concerned tone. “I mean I know he is a human, but no creature should go on without eating something.”

“A human?!” the maid gasped.

“Yes, but he is just a young human. He is just like a little colt, and the poor lad doesn’t appear to have a mean bone in his body.” The butler reassured the maid as both trotted past Blueblood’s bedroom doors.

A look of shock mixed with disappointment crept across his face. A human! How absurd must my aunt be to bring such a lowly and hideous creature, not only into the castle, but of all Equestria?! I am going to go see this for myself. He flicked his mane, took a deep breath, and opened his doors back up to trot out with his head held up high, but let out a disgruntled huff as he headed to the dining room.

In the dining hall, Timmy was just finishing up his oatmeal. He swallowed his final bite and looked up at the two royal sisters “Thank you Miss Luna and Miss Celestia for the oatmeal. It was very good.” He spoke in his small, soft tone, and gave them a light smile.

Luna stroked at his back with her wing, looking down at him with a warm smile, and leaned in to nuzzle him on the top of his head. “Thou are very welcome little one. We are happy that you enjoyed it.” Celestia nodded in agreement as she gave Timmy a warm smile.

Soon the doors to the dining hall opened and trotted in Prince Blueblood. As soon as he entered, he could spot the small child, and gasped. “Ah… so it’s true. There is a human in the castle!” He trotted forward to the three. “Why bring such a creature to the castle for Aunt Celestia?”

“Thou will silence thy tongue Blueblood!” Luna used her royal Canterlot voice loudly, but immediately regretted as she felt the little colt trembling against her side. She frowned, rubbing at his side with her wing, and spoke soft shushing sounds into his mane “Shh…it’s okay Timmy. Please don’t’ be scared, I’m sorry I did that…shh.” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile.

Celestia frowned at the child as he shook against Luna’s side, and then turned to Blueblood with a look of frustration. She stood up, trotting around the dining table “My dear nephew, come with me.” She trotted out of the dining hall as Blueblood had a shocked look on his face, and he turned toward the child, letting out a huff, and followed behind Celestia.

She closed the doors behind her, turning to her nephew, and looked at him disapprovingly. “Blueblood, can you explain to me why would you barge into the dining hall like that, and frighten our precious little guest?” She stood tall as she looked at him with a quirked eyebrow.

Blueblood pointed at the door with a hoof “You call that wretched creature precious Aunt Tia?! He is nothing but an abomination and a threat to all of…” He was silenced as Celestia stomped a hoof on the floor next to him.

“Silence nephew!” She looked at him now with anger in her eyes. “I will not have you berate such a child as sweet and innocent like Timmy. Do you understand me?”

He grunted, turning his head to the side “But Aunt Tia, what about the ponies of Canterlot? What about the ponies of all Equestria? Don’t you think they will fear a creature such as him as soon as he steps hoof beyond these palace doors?” He turned his back to look at Celestia with frustration.

She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath to calm herself, and opened them to look at him. “Listen nephew, as royals, you, myself, and my sister have learned about the species of humans. All the rest of pony kind hasn’t, but from what I have read about humans, this young child does not seem to be a threat to us. Especially after what he has been through, I can see why he is the one afraid of us, and not us afraid of him.”

Blueblood let out a sigh of annoyance, scuffing his hoof against the tiled floor. “Alright Aunt Tia, the human is harmless and innocent for now, but what will happen when he grows older and bigger than he is now? He could become a major threat and bring an end to all of us, making way for more of his species to come take over Equestria!”

Celestia sighed heavily as she reached up a hoof to rub at her forehead, and then looked at Blueblood. “I am positive he won’t end up like that at all Blueblood, because he is going to be living with us here, in the palace, and in Equestria. We will give him all the love and care he truly deserves, so he doesn’t grow up to be a threatening force to us.”

He huffed closing his eyes in frustration. “I sure do hope you know what you are doing Aunt Tia by taking in this human, but I feel you are making a great mistake.”

“Don’t worry nephew, we are doing the right thing. He needs a home, and a family to love him.” She gave a soft smile “Now if you are finished Blueblood, I’m going to return to Luna and Timmy. Good day nephew.” She turned, opened the dining hall doors, and trotted back in, closing them.

Blueblood let out one more huff before turning to trot away from the dining hall. His brows furrowed in anger I’m not going to let this stand. That creature doesn’t belong here in Equestria, and I’m going to make sure all pony kind learns to fear that abomination.

Chapter Four

Prince Blueblood stormed out of the castle, slamming his hooves hard against the ground with each step. How can Aunt Tia be so naïve?! She knows how dangerous those creatures can be, yet she wants to bring one in, and make him apart of our family. Well I won’t stand for it. If Aunt Tia or Luna won’t do anything to get rid of that little abomination, then I will. He shook his head in frustration, looking down at the ground as he trotted onward.

Not paying attention to where he was trotting, Blueblood ended up bumping into some pony. “Hey… watch out where you’re going!” He exclaimed as he looked up to see the Elements of Harmony standing before him. “Oh it’s you six. Why are you doing here?” He sneered as he looked at them.

“Charming as ever, huh Blueblood darling?” Rarity asked as she quirked her brows curiously. She let out a sigh “Anyway dear, we are here to meet the new little guest Princess Celestia and Princess Luna would like to introduce us to.”

“Yeah, yeah! I’m going to throw the little guy a ‘Welcome to Equestia’ party! There is going to be cakes, games, cookies, punch…” She was cut off by Applejack as she placed a hoof on her mouth.

“Simmer down sugarcube. There will be plenty of time for parties once we get to meet the little feller.” She chuckled at the pink pony’s excitement.

Pinkie stuck her tongue out at the cowpony “You’re just a party pooper pony Applejack.” She giggled, and proceeded to bounce around randomly, receiving light-hearted laughing from her friends.

Blueblood shook his head frustratingly “Ah, good….then maybe you can talk to my naïve aunt about sending that foul creature back where he belongs.” He let out an annoyed huff.

“Whoa there Bluey, whose got your tail all in a bind?” Rainbow asked with a quirked eyebrow as she hovered in the air. “Besides, it might be cool to see the little guy. I’ve never seen a human before.”

“And you should learn some respect for your aunt. She is one of the princesses of Equestria, and I am sure her and Princess Luna have a good real good explanation of bringing this human child to our land.” Twilight gave Blueblood a stern glare.

“First off,” he gave an icy glare at Rainbow “My name is Prince Blueblood. You all don’t know what this creature could bring to Equestria, and to all of us pony kind. Aunt Celestia researched about humans before, but she feels some are harmless such as that little runt in there.” He motioned toward the castle with his head.

“Well, I believe we will be able to handle this ‘dangerous’ and ‘foul’ creature like you oh so like to call him darling.” Rarity chuckled at him, flicking her mane. “Now if you would excuse us, we have some business to attend to.” She trotted past Blueblood “Good day to you Sir.”

The others followed in tow leaving Blueblood with a shocked, yet frustrated look on his face. He shook his head, huffed, and turned to trot away.

Rarity let out a deep sigh “I swear I honestly don’t understand what I saw in that arrogant ruffian for a prince.” Applejack and Rainbow snickered to one another as they all entered into the palace.

As the Elements of Harmony entered, they witnessed the royal sisters standing atop the stairs. Luna held her wing closely to her chest instead folded at her side, earning a curious look from the girls. When they approached in the center of the palace room, they bowed their heads.

“Hello Princess Celestia and Princess Luna,” they all greeted in unison.

The princesses bowed their heads in return. Celestia smiled warmly at them “Greetings my little ponies. We are honored that you were able to attend this momentous occasion.”

“Of course Princess Celestia, but where is this human that spoke of in your letter?” Twilight asked as her and the others gave a look of curiosity toward the royal sisters.

Celestia looked at Luna for a second, and then back at the elements. “Before we introduce you all to him, just to warn you, he is still shaken up after meeting my rude, disrespectful stallion of a nephew, Prince Blueblood.”

Rarity sighed heavily “Oh…well we ran into him outside, and he seemed pretty upset about the fact that you would bring a human into Equestria. To be quite honest, I don’t’ see why, because I bet he is a precious little darling, and I will be honored to create an outfit for him.” She gave a bright smile.

Celestia and Luna smiled warmly at each other, and then Luna turned to look down at the small child hidden under her wing, clinging to her foreleg, still scared from Prince Blueblood’s visit. She leaned her head down, nuzzling his head. “Shh…it’s okay little one. We have some friends who would like to meet you, okay?”

He looked up at her and gave her a light nod.

Luna smiled down at him softly, and then lifted her head to look at the others. “My dear friends, Tia and I would like to introduce you all to our new member of our family, Timmy.” She smiled warmly at them and very carefully lifted her wing to reveal the small timid child.

Timmy shook nervously as he carefully turned his head which was nestled into Luna’s foreleg, and looked at the six other ponies. He kept his arms wrapped around Luna’s foreleg as she stroked at his back with her wing. He shakily lifted a hand and waved at them “Hi there,” he spoke ever so softly that they were barely able to hear him.

Luna smiled softly, leaning her head down to nuzzle at the top of his head. “It’s okay little one, they aren’t going to hurt you. Come meet them.” She carefully levitated the little boy onto her back as her and Celestia trotted down the stairs.

As they got down to the bottom of the stairs, Luna gently levitated Timmy off her back, and allowed him to stand up against her foreleg. She gently lifted it and placed it his shoulders “Little one, I would like for you to meet mine and Tia’s friends, the Elements of Harmony.” She used her other foreleg to motion towards the six.

“Hello Timmy.” They greeted the small child altogether. None of them wanted to say anything about him looking dirty. Applejack was the first one to trot up to him.

She noticed that the little colt only came up to her chest. She sat down on her haunches and tipped her hat toward Timmy. “Howdy there little feller, my name is Applejack, and Ah am the Element of Honesty. Ah can tell when some pony is lying, but also telling the truth.” She looked down with a soft grin. “Ah also run Sweet Apple Acres, the local apple farm in Ponyville. Maybe someday ya can come and visit. Ah promise ya will love the apples, and ya will get to meet the rest of my family.”

Timmy looked up at her with a soft smile, and gave a light nod. “It’s nice to meet you Miss Applejack.”

She tipped her hat to him again before trotted back over to the group. A beaming smile crept across Pinkie Pie’s face as she was the next one to bounce up to the small child. This caused him to shake a little bit, but Luna comforted him by rubbing along his back gently with a hoof.

Pinkie stopped bouncing and sat on her haunches. “Hey there little guy! My name is Pinkie Pie, and I am the Element of Laughter. Pinkie is the name, laughing is my game.’ She giggles place a hoof to chest in salute, earning herself a light giggle from Timmy. “See there you little cutie, I enjoy making others laugh too.” She gave him a big smile and reached her hooves out to him, gently tickling his sides causing him to giggle more.

The small child giggled happily “It’s nice to meet you Miss Pinkie.” He gave her a big smile.

She returned the smile, scooping him into her forelegs, and brought him in for a big, yet soft hug. “Aw…. It’s nice to meet you too little guy!” The others d’awwed at the two and let out a giggle themselves as Pinkie let Timmy down. “Hey, you know what cutie? I’m going to be back in a little while, I’m going to go make you something special, so don’t go anywhere.” She used her hoof to playfully rub at his nose, and then turned to bounce off out of the dining hall.

Rainbow Dash face hoofed herself as she lowered to the floor next. She smirked down at Timmy, reaching a hoof up to rub at his head gently. “Hey there little dude. My name is Rainbow Dash and I’m the Element of Loyalty. Whenever you need a helping hoof, or if you feel as if you are alone, I will be there to keep you company. I never abandon my friends.” She saluted the little boy with a hoof. “I’m also the best flyer in all of Equestria.”

“It’s nice to meet you Miss Rainbow.” He looked up at her with a soft smile as she rubbed at his head again be hovering up into the air, and returning to the others. He looked to see one of them hiding behind her mane as she carefully trotted up to him.

“Um… hello there little one, my name is…Fluttershy.” She gave him a light smile.

“Hi Miss Fluttershy, it’s good to meet you.” He looked at her curiously, wondering why she was shy around him.

She smiled at his politeness and used a hoof to brush her mane out of her face. “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well Timmy. I am the Element of Kindness, and I help take care of all creatures both big and small. Maybe one day if you come and visit Ponyville, I can show you my animal sanctuary.” She blushed, giving him a nod, and trotted over to the others.

As Twilight started trotted toward the little boy she thought oh, I can’t possibly do any experimentation or studying on this precious little child. Especially with him being in poor conditions. She was smiling warmly on the outside at the child, but frowning on the inside.

She approached Timmy, sitting on her haunches, and reached out a hoof to gently rub up and down one of his arms. “Hello Timmy, it’s an honor to meet you. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am the Element of Magic. I live in the Golden Oaks Library in Ponyville where I also work at, letting ponies come, and check out whatever books they would like to read. Maybe when you come to visit, you can borrow any book you like, okay sweetheart?”

He looked up at her and nodded “Yes Miss Twilight. It’s good to meet you too, and thank you.” He gave her a soft smile as she returned it, and trotted over to the girls.

Rarity was the last one to trot up to him, giving him a big, warm smile. “Well, well, well, aren’t you just a cute little darling.” She lifted a hoof up to carefully rub at his cheek. “My name is Rarity Belle, but you can just call me Rarity, and I am the Element of Generosity. I will be more than honored to create you an outfit for you to wear.” She looked up at Princess Luna “Princess Luna, if a lady may ask, would it be okay if you two could come with me so I could take his measurements?”

Luna nodded “Of course my friend. “ She looked over at Celestia who gave her a nod, and she turned to the others. “My dear friends and Elements of Harmony thank you all so much for coming to meet this precious little child, and being good to him. I shall leave you for now so Rarity can get to working on Timmy’s outfit. You shall stay here and Tia will inform you more.” She gave them a warm smile and carefully levitated the child onto her back.

Timmy smiled softly and waved at the other elements as him, Luna, and Rarity exited the dining hall.

Outside of the castle, Prince Blueblood was pacing back and forth with a scowl etched on his face.With the Elements of Harmony on that little abomination’s side, Equestria will welcome him into our home with opened hooves. I’ve got to figure out a way to get rid of that little nuisance. He looked up from pacing to see the guards.

A sly smirk crept across his face as he trotted up to them. “Hey you two, how would you like to earn your keep? All you have to do is a simple task for me.”

One of the guards spoke up “Sorry your prince, but we only take orders from the royal sisters.”

Blueblood huffed, but his smirk grew wider. “I can make it worth your while. Come here for a second.” He motioned for both of them to come closer so he could whisper something to them.

After a couple of minutes the guards looked seriously at each other before turning back to Blueblood and nodding. “We will do it your prince.”

He smiled meticulously “Good, good. Now you two get back to work and I shall return later with your payment.” He let out a lowly chuckle and turn to trot off.

That was easier than I thought. It looks like the little human won’t be able to enjoy his stay in Equestria any longer. Not after what I have planned for him.

Author's Note

What could that pompous, no-good prince have planned for poor little Timmy? :pinkiegasp:

Chapter Five

Rarity and Princess Luna, along with Timmy riding on Luna’s back arrived at the palace bedroom that Rarity usually occupied when she would visit Canterlot. Timmy had his little arms wrapped around Luna’s neck, causing her heart to melt as she rubbed at his hands with a hoof. The two ponies trotted to the center of the room and Luna gently levitated Timmy off her back onto the floor.

Timmy looked around the room, noticing it was much bigger and nicer than his old room. He watched as Rarity went over to a table, returning with her pair of red-brimmed glasses on her face, a tape measure, a pencil, and a notepad, all enveloped in her magic. He began to shake a little, becoming a little nervous about what she was going to do with them.

Rarity noticed this as she looked down at the little boy, shaking her head softly. “Oh no, no, no little darling, there is no reason to be afraid. I promise I’m not going to hurt you Timmy. I’m just going to take your measurements so I can create a perfect fitting set of clothes for you, okay?” She gave him a reassuring smile and reached out a hoof to hold his little hand in it.

He looked at his hand in her hoof, giving a little smile at the softness of her touch, and then he looked up at Luna. She gave him a reassuring nod, reaching a hoof up to gently rub at his back. He turned to Rarity and looked up at her, giving her a soft nod. “Okay Miss Rarity, I trust you.” He stretched out his arms.

Rarity smiled warmly down at him as she used her magic to carefully measure him, writing down her results. As she looked down at him, she thought to herself the poor dear looks like he hasn’t had a bath in a while. His dark brown mane is so disheveled, his face covered with small patches of dirt, and his clothes are tattered and torn. I’m going to make sure I create some warm and comfortable clothes for the little darling.

She finished measuring him, smiling warmly down at him. “Alright darling, I’m all done.” She reached her hoof out to gently rub up and down one of his arms. “Now I’m going to get started on your outfit, and I will bring them to Princess Luna after you get washed up, okay Timmy?”

He looked up at her, giving her a light nod. “Yes Miss Rarity. Thank you for making me some new clothes.” He spoke softly and respectfully.

“Well you are very welcome precious.” Rarity reached her hoof up and gently rubbed at his cheek.

Luna smiled warmly down at the small child. “Come here little one, let’s go get you a nice, warm bath.” She levitated him onto his back, nodding her head to Rarity. “My dear friend Rarity, thank thou again for making some clothes for Timmy, and we shall see thou real soon after I give him a bath.” Rarity nodded at her as she left with Timmy to head to one of the palace’s washroom.

They arrived as Luna opened the doors with her magic, trotted inside, and then closed the doors back. Luna carefully levitated Timmy off her back, setting him down near the bathtub. She smiled warmly down at him, reaching a wing over behind him to rub at his back. Timmy looked up at her with a soft smile, gently giving her foreleg a hug, causing Luna’s eyes to sting a little with tears of joy.

She shook her head softly so not to let them shed as she used her magic to turn the water faucet on. She reached a hoof into the tub to check the water temperature, making sure it was just warm enough for the little child to bathe in, nodding to herself as it was just right. She let the water run until it was a safe height, so he won’t drown, but still get washed up enough.

While holding her wing over the small child, she opened one of the washroom cabinets, levitating a towel, a soft bristled brush, a bottle of liquid soap, and a bottle of shampoo, placing the items on the sink. She looked down at Timmy laying his head against her chest, clinging to her foreleg, and she rubbed at his back some more with her wing.

She leaned her head down to nuzzle at the top of his head. “Are you ready to get in the bathtub sweetheart?” She gave him a warm smile.

He looked up at her with a light smile, nodding. “Yes Miss Luna.” He carefully un-wrapped his arms around her foreleg, feeling her lift her wing up over him, and he gently backed away. He looked up to see her close her eyes to allow him to get undressed. After he took his old tattered clothes off, he spoke in his soft, small tone. “Okay Miss Luna, I’m finished getting undressed.”

Luna nodded, keeping her eyes closed, and carefully levitated the small child into the bathtub. She slowly opened her eyes to see him smiling softly up at her. “Is the water warm enough little one?”

He looked up at her giving her a light nod. “Yes it is Miss Luna. It is very warm and it feels nice.” A small smile crept across his face.

“That is good little one. Let us get your mane washed first, shall we?” She let out a soft giggle as she levitated a small pitcher over to the tub, scooping some water into it. “Okay Timmy, just close your eyes for a little bit.” She spoke with a motherly tone as Timmy nodded, closing his eyes. She gave a blushing smile, very gently pouring the water over his hair so not to startle him.

He let out a little giggle as he felt the warm water wash over his hair, causing Luna to giggle herself. She applied some shampoo to the top of his scalp and very carefully placed her hooves on top his head. “Now little one, I don’t want you to be scared, I’m just going to lather your mane so I can get it nice and clean, okay?” He kept his eyes closed, but nodded.

She smiled warmly as she carefully started to knead the shampoo into his hair, feeling a few tangles against her hooves. The poor child haven’t had his mane washed in quite a while it seems. She gently rubbed the sides of his scalp in a circular motion, making sure every bit of his mane was covered with shampoo.

“Okay Timmy, I’m just going to rinse all the shampoo out of your mane, so keep your eyes closed, okay sweetheart?” She gently rubbed the side of his arm with a hoof.

He kept his eyes clenched shut. “Yes Miss Luna.” He let out a soft sigh.

Luna levitated the pitcher into the tub to scoop some water. She placed her hoof tenderly on the child’s head, and as she slowly poured the water over his hair, she used her hoof to rub at his head to help rinse out the shampoo more efficiently. After completely rinsing Timmy’s hair, Luna levitated a dry rag over to him so he can wipe his face.

She scooped some more into the pitcher, slowly pouring it over his small form. Timmy let out a little giggle as the water washed over him, and Luna smiled brightly as she levitated the brush into the tub to get it wet. She applied some of the liquid soap to the brush and started to carefully use the brush to lather the soap over the small child.

He giggled softly as he was being scrubbed. Luna smiled warmly at his calmness as he was being washed. After a few minutes of scrubbing him gently, Luna filled the pitcher with water, pouring it carefully over the little boy, rinsing him off. After she got done rinsing all the soap off, she looked down at him “Are you ready to get dried off little one?”

He looked up at her with a light smile, nodding. “Yes Miss Luna.”

She nodded, closing her eyes, and levitated him out of the tub carefully, placing him on the floor. She levitated the towel over, gently wrapping it around him. She reached up with a hoof to smooth his mane out, giving him a warm smile. “Do you feel better now Timmy after getting a bath?” She laid a wing over him.

He looked up at her with a soft smile, nodding. “Yes Miss Luna, it felt nice and comfortable. Thank you.” He walked up to her, giving her a hug around her foreleg.

She hugged him close to her with her wing, leaning her head down, and nuzzled the top of his head. “You don’t need to thank me Timmy, I’m glad you enjoyed it, and it was comfortable for you.” She stroked his back with her wing, giving him a soft kiss on the forehead.

There was a knock at the door “Princess Luna, I’m all done with the little darling’s outfit.” Luna opened the door to let Rarity enter. As soon as she trotted in, Rarity looked in awe at the newly cleaned little boy. “Oh my, you look absolutely wonderful Timmy. I hope you enjoy the clothes I made for you.” She levitated the small child’s outfit toward him.

It was a set of pajamas with forest green wool pants, a pair of warm white socks, and a matching forest green long sleeve top. On the left side of the chest was Timmy’s name written in brown cursive writing. Timmy smiled brightly at them, looking up at Rarity. “Oh Miss Rarity, I really like them. Thank you.”

He walked up to her, wrapping his little arms around her foreleg. Rarity felt her heart melt at the gesture and wrapped her free foreleg around him, rubbing his back. “Aw… you are very welcome darling.” She leaned her head down, nuzzling at the top of his head.

Luna smiled warmly at the two. “Little one, we will just be outside the door so you can get changed, okay?” She reached a hoof up to stroke at his mane gently. He looked up at both mares, nodding lightly. Luna and Rarity smiled down at the little boy and trotted out of the washroom, shutting the door slightly.

While the two were waiting for Timmy to change, a guard came trotting up. “Your highness, it’s time for your routine session of night court.” He stood at attention saluting a hoof.

Luna let out a content sigh. “Alright, thank you my loyal guard. Let the counsel know I will be there soon, okay?”

The guard saluted, nodding. “Yes your highness.” He turned to trot away.

“Miss Luna, Miss Rarity, I’m ready.” They heard the small voice of the little boy from behind the door. Luna carefully opened the door, and both mares smiled warmly as he was wearing his pajamas.

“Well, you look very handsome darling.” Rarity gave a blushing smile, clapping her fore hooves together. “Do they fit alright Timmy, and are they warm enough?”

He let out a comforted sigh, nodding up at both of them. “Oh yes Miss Rarity. They are very warm, and they fit just right. They feel better than my old clothes.” He gave them both a light smile.

Rarity reached out a hoof, rubbing at his cheek. “Well, I’m very proud that I could make you something comfortably fitting darling. When I return to my home in Ponyville, I will start making you some more clothes to wear, how does that sound?”

He nodded, giving her a soft smile. “I would like that Miss Rarity, thank you.”

She gave him a nod, and then looked at Luna. “If it’s alright with you Luna, I’m going to go join the others in the dining hall, or wherever they may be.” She turned back to the child. “I’ll see you again Timmy.” She gave him a warm smile, leaned down giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead, and then turned to trot out of the washroom.

Luna levitated Timmy onto her back, exiting the washroom next. “Little one, I hate to leave you alone tonight, but I got to go to night court. It is one of my duties as princess of the night, but my sister Princess Celestia will be here if you need anything, okay Timmy?” She turned head at him, nuzzling at his cheek.

He gave a little blush, nodding. “Yes Miss Luna. I’ll be okay, I promise.” He gave her a soft smile, wrapping his arms around her neck.

She smiled warmly at the gesture, patting at his small hands with a hoof. I’m going to talk to Tia about permanently adopting Timmy as my own. It isn’t official without documentation and I’m willing to sign adoption papers as long as it means that this precious child doesn’t have to return to those foul creatures who call themselves parents.

Soon they arrived at Luna’s bedroom, and she trotted over to her bed. She gently levitated Timmy off her back onto the bed, lifting the covers up over him, and tucking them in against his sides. He let out a soft yawn, looking up at her tired, dreamy eyes. She smiled warmly at the sight, leaning her head down, and gave him a tender kiss on the forehead.

“Good night Timmy. Sweet dreams little one.” She reached her hoof up to gently stroke at his mane.

He let out one last soft yawn, blinking his tiredly. He gave her a warm smile. “Good night Miss Luna. Thank you and everyone for being nice to me.” He spoke in his small, soft tone.

“No sweetheart, you don’t need to thank us for being nice to you. You are a very dear child Timmy and you shouldn’t have endured what you went through with your mother and father.” She stroked at his mane a little more before giving him one last tender kiss on the forehead.

He smiled warmly up at her, slowly closing his eyes, and drifted off to a peaceful slumber.

Luna made sure he was truly asleep and quietly trotted outside to the balcony. She looked up at her moon, taking in a deep breath, and exhaling deeply. Please allow your warm glow protect this precious child tonight while I am absent. She spread her wings and flew down to the ground, heading toward night court.

Suddenly there was a flash of light on the balcony and three figures appeared. It was Prince Blueblood with the two guards he spoke with earlier in the day. He placed a hoof up to his mouth to make sure the two kept quiet as they quietly trotted into Luna’s bedroom.

“Alright you two, tie him up, gag him, and put him in this sack.” He gave the two a medium-sized brown sack. The two guards nodded, trotting up to the bed.

Timmy stirred a little in his sleep, opening his eyes, and noticed the two. “Aah…mmmph!” He tried to scream, but was silenced with a cloth forced into his mouth. One of the guards grabbed the child from underneath the covers with his fore hooves being hit in the face with Timmy’s flailing arms and hands.

“Get the sack open.” He told the other guard. The other opened the sack, and the first guard forced Timmy into the sack, as the second one used a rope to tie the sack shut.

Prince Blueblood smirked proudly and maniacally as he levitated the sack onto his back. He chuckled as he felt the small child squirming inside. He turned to the guards and pulled out two small bags from a pocket of his suit with his teeth. “Here you two go for your average work.” He threw them toward the two guards.

They nodded to Blueblood as they opened the two small bags. A grin crept across each of their faces as they found five hundred bits for each. “Thank you Prince Blueblood.” They spoke in unison.

Blueblood simply waved a hoof at them annoyingly. “Yes. Now you two may leave. I have somewhere I want to take this little nuisance.” With that, he teleported out of the bedroom, and reappeared in one of the alleyways of Canterlot.

He chuckled as he heard the muffle screams of the frightened little boy. “Come with me you little abomination, I know exactly where I can take you where you can’t threaten the lives of pony kind for good.” He smirked evilly as he trotted out from the dark alleyway.

This is what is best for Equestria he thought to himself.

Author's Note

Oh no. Where is that no good excuse for a prince taking poor little Timmy? :pinkiegasp:

Chapter Six

After making sure he trotted through the entirety of Canterlot, Prince Blueblood used his magic to teleport him, and the captured child to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. He smirked proudly as he turned to the trembling sack on his back. “This is the perfect place to put an abomination like you.” He spoke with a malicious tone and turned to trot into the dreaded woods.

He trekked through the forest for a while until he came upon a clearing to place the terrified little boy. He smirked mischievously as he levitated the sack onto the ground, untied it, and levitated Timmy out of it. He looked down at the small child who was trembling, looking up at the unicorn stallion with sheer fear in his eyes.

“Aw… what’s wrong you little danger to pony society? Are you scared to be outside in the dark?” He mocked Timmy, letting out a lowly chuckle. He used his magic to rip the cloth out of the small child’s mouth. He smirked at Timmy’s little lips quivering.

Timmy looked up with tears escaping the corners of his eyes, struggling in the rope that tied his wrists. “W---why are you doing this Mister Blueblood?” He whimpered.

Prince Blueblood stomped his hoof on the ground next to the scared boy. “Well, I do have to admit, you know how to show respect, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are a threat to all of pony kind. I’m doing this to you, because my Aunt Tia and her sister, Luna doesn’t seem to have the heart to get rid of a serious problem like yourself, so I knew I had to do it myself.” He glared coldly at Timmy.

He used his magic to untie the child’s wrist from the rope. Timmy rubbed at his wrists as he looked up at Blueblood, trembling like a leaf. “Now let’s see if you can find your way out of these scary woods alone little one. If you are able to, then you shall live, but if no, then you will face a terrible fate.” He chuckled lowly. “Tata for now you little abomination.” He smirked down at the frightened little boy before using his magic to teleport out of the forest.

Left alone, Timmy carefully stood up, his legs shaking in fear as he looked around the dim-lit opening he was placed. He wrapped his arm around himself, shaking not out of being cold, but out of fear of being all alone. He lowered his head and started to sob. “P-p-please someone help me.” He spoke shakily just above a whisper.

Back at Canterlot Castle, the Elements of Harmony were about to leave when Applejack spoke up. “Hold on yall, before we leave, Ah want to go check on the little feller to make sure he is sleeping soundly.” She looked toward Princess Celestia. “Would that be okay princess?”

Celestia gave her a warm smile, nodding her head. “Of course my honest Applejack, it’s okay with me. We will just be waiting outside the palace when you’re done.” Applejack tipped her hat and trotted to the room where she thought the boy was staying in.

As she was trotting down one of the many corridors, she noticed the main door at the end was slightly ajar and trotted forward. When she approached the door, she carefully knocked on the door. “Sugarcube, are ya awake?” She asked.

There was no answer, but she wanted to make sure he was okay. She carefully pushed the door open. “Timmy, Ah just wanted to…AAH!” She screamed when she noticed that the bed covers were sprawled out and the small child was gone. She turned to gallop back through the corridor, heading toward the front of the castle.

Princess Celestia and the other elements were sharing a laugh with each other until Applejack came galloping outside with a look of fear in her eyes. “Girls, Princess Celestia… the little feller is gone!” She panted heavily as she approached them.

“WHAT?” They gasped in unison.

Applejack nodded biting her lower lip. “Ah went to go check on him, but when Ah got to the room he was staying in, the bed was all messed up, and he wasn’t there.” She lowered her head scuffing at the ground with a hoof.

Celestia trotted up to her and laid a wing over her. She looked at the others. “My little ponies, we need to go in search for out little friend.” She gave a warm smile. “Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, I need you two to take to the skies to get an aerial view of land.”

Rainbow saluted with a hoof. “You got it Princess! Let’s go Flutters.” She looked at the timid yellow Pegasus who had a deeply concerned look on her face.

Fluttershy nodded, biting her lower lip. “Oh…my…I sure do hope the little one isn’t hurt.” Her and Rainbow hovered in the air, shooting forward in the sky.

Celestia turned to the rest. “The rest of you, search all over Canterlot, and I’ll go get Luna to let her know so we can do our part.” The others nodded as they split up, so they could cover more ground of Canterlot. A look of determination crept across her face as she headed toward night court to retrieve her sister.

Meanwhile Timmy wondered through the dreaded forest with his arms sill wrapped tightly around himself. There were tears rolling down his cheeks as he looked from left to right, seeing nothing, and surrounded by darkness. He started to shake harder as the wind started to pick up.

I don’t want to hurt nobody. I just want to have someone to call mommy or daddy since my real mommy and daddy don’t want me. He whimpered at his thoughts as he heard the snap of a twig.

He snapped around. “W---whose there?” he asked timidly, only to receive silence as his answer. He turned back around to look ahead, but came eye to eye with the bottom jaw of one of the most terrifying creatures of the Everfree, the timber wolf. With a nervous swallow traveling down his throat, the small child noticed that the jaws were dripping with saliva and he shakily looked up into the eerie glowing green eyes the foul beast.

Timmy trembled like a leaf as he staggered backwards, tripping over a root of a tree. The timber wolf meticulously stalked the terrified boy, letting out a ferocious, guttural roar. Timmy kept crawling backwards until was able to scramble to his feet and started to run away from the creature. “Somebody help!” He screamed as he ran through the deep woods.

While Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were soaring in the sky, they heard the yell of the child. They looked at each other with deep concern as they looked down below them. They could see through the patches of trees, seeing the little boy running. They gasped when they saw a timber wolf chasing him.

“We’ve got to save him fast Fluttershy!” Rainbow said as she shot down toward the forest. Fluttershy swallowed nervously, but shot down next.

Timmy was panting heavily while he was running, but he wasn’t watching where he was running, and his foot caught a root of a tree, causing him to fall to the ground with a hard thud, and landing on the palms of his hands which he tried to use to catch his fall. He also landed hard on a knee, causing him to immediately grab it, hugging it up to his chest.

He cried as he turned to see the timber wolf approaching him with it’s fangs dripping with saliva and it’s brows furrowed with hunger. He tried to crawl away using only one arm while holding his injured knee with the other one. He looked up in horror at the beast slowly stalking it’s way towards him, tears rolling down his cheeks.

The timber wolf raised a wooden paw up as it got close enough. Timmy’s lips quivered with fear as he saw what it was going to do and he covered his head with his hands and arms, curling up in a ball. As the timber wolf was about to lower his paw to swipe at the scared child, Timmy heard voice “Get away from him you pile of firewood!” He carefully uncovered his face to see Rainbow Dash diving down, crashing a hoof into the side of the wolf’s face.

The creature staggered to the side a bit as Rainbow landed in front of Timmy with a snarl creeping across her face. She looked back at the trembling boy with tears flowing down his face. “Don’t worry little buddy, we’re save you.” She looked to see Fluttershy lowering to the ground. “Fluttershy, you get him out of here, I can handle this giant toothpick!” She shot toward the timber wolf again, hitting it in the side of it’s face with a hoof.

Fluttershy looked down at Timmy, a frown forming on her face as she saw him holding his knee. She trotted over to him. “M---my knee….it hurts.” He cried as he clenched his eyes shut.

She sat down on her haunches and leant down to very carefully place her forelegs underneath his small form. “Shh… it’s okay sweetie, I’m going to make it feel better.” She very gently lifted him help, being cautious of his knee, and cradled him to her chest. She looked up to see Rainbow finishing off the timber wolf.

After Rainbow got done beating the timber wolf into a pile of wood she trotted over to the two. She looked worriedly at the little boy, reaching hoof up to stroke at his mane, and looked into his eyes. She gave him a warm reassuring smile. “Don’t worry little guy, Fluttershy is going to take you to her cottage to get you all better.” She looked up into Fluttershy’s eyes. “I’ll go and get the others.” She saluted with a hoof and hovered into the air, and flew towards Canterlot.

Fluttershy looked up at her as she flew off, then back at the small child in her forelegs. “Okay sweetie, let’s get you back to my home so I can fix you up.” She carefully hovered in the air as she felt a little hand on her shoulder, and looked down to the tear filled eyes of the little boy.

Timmy spoke shakily “Thank you Miss Fluttershy.” He reached up, wrapping his little arms tightly around her neck.

She felt tears sting her eyes and wrapped her forelegs around him, with one under his legs, being careful of his injured knee, and the other foreleg around his back. She rubbed up and down his back soothingly “Shh…it’s okay little one. I promise I’m going to make you feel all better.” She flapped her wings and flew toward her cottage.

As they approached the cottage, Fluttershy’s pet bunny, Angel saw them, and immediately opened the doors. Fluttershy carefully flew inside, toward her sofa, and gently lowered the child down onto it. She looked down at Angel. “Angel honey, go get Momma the first aid kit.” He saluted with a paw and hopped to the bathroom.

Fluttershy sat down on her haunches next to the little boy, reached up with a hoof, and gently stroked at his mane. “Sweetie, I promise everything is going to be okay.” She gave him a warm reassuring smile.

Angel returned with the first aid kit, earning a pat in the head by Fluttershy. “Thank you Angel.” She opened it, pulling out a roll of gauze, a small bottle of antiseptic ointment, and a couple of Band-Aids.
She looked down at Timmy. “Little one, would it be okay I look at your hands first?”

He sniffled a little, his tears finally calmed. “Yes Miss Fluttershy.” He held up his small hands facing the palms toward her, earning a shocked expression on her face. Both hands had scratches on them, and they were bleeding a bit.

She looked in the first aid kit, pulling out a small cloth, and used it to dab at the blood. “You poor baby, who done this to you?” She held his hands gently in one fore hoof while applying the ointment to his injured hands with the other hoof.

He swallowed nervously, afraid to say that Blueblood was the one who left him in the forest. Fluttershy took notice as she was now wrapping the gauze gently around his hands. “It’s okay sweetheart, you can tell me.” She gave him a warm smile, reaching her hoof to stroke at his mane.

He looked into her eyes fearfully, but spoke shakily. “Mister Blueblood and two guards tied me up, put me in a sack, and Mister Blueblood left me in that scary forest.” He started to cry a little, but felt Fluttershy’s hoof wipe away his tears.

Fluttershy closed her eyes to subdue her own tears as she opened them up again to take a look at his knee. His knee was scratched up and bleeding like his hands. She carefully used the cloth to dab at the blood, and then after she got all the blood cleaned up, she applied the ointment.

How could that pathetic excuse for a prince leave such a precious and innocent child alone, especially in the dreaded Everfree Forest? I’ve got to tell Princess Luna and Princess Celestia about this, and what did Blueblood do to get the guards to help?

She placed a large sized Band-Aid over the little boy’s knees, giving him a warm smile. “There you go little one, all better.” He sat up wrapping his arms around her neck one more time, laying his head on her shoulder.

“Thank you Miss Fluttershy.” He sighed softly.

She rubbed along his back with a foreleg. “You don’t need to thank me sweetie.” She turned her head, nuzzling him tenderly on the cheek. She hugged him for a couple more minutes before laying him down on the sofa and pulling a warm blanked over him. “Now, you get some rest Timmy, and Princess Luna and the others should be here soon.” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile.

He gave her a light nod, letting out a little yawn. “Okay Miss Fluttershy, goodnight.” He gave her a soft smile, before closing his eyes, and drifting off to sleep peacefully.

She smiled warmly at the little boy. “Goodnight sweetie.” She spoke just above a whisper.

Soon there was a knock at Fluttershy’s door, and she came trotting out of kitchen after putting dishes up. She looked over to see the child still sleeping as she opened the door to reveal Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and the other elements.

“Thou kind Fluttershy, I thank you very much for helping in the rescue of young Timmy.” Luna smiled tearfully, nodding her head at Fluttershy, and looked over at the sleeping little boy. She carefully trotted over to him, making sure not to wake him, and reached up a hoof to gently stroke at his mane. She turned to the Pegasus. “Tell me my dear friend, who did this to him?”

Fluttershy gave a frown, taking in a deep breath, and exhaled deeply. “Timmy said it was Prince Blueblood and a couple of guards.” They all gasped, but tried to not wake the child. “He said they tied him up, trapped him in a sack, and then Prince Blueblood dropped him off in the Everfree Forest.”

Luna turned back to the child with her brows furrowed in anger, and a scowl form across her lips. She closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath to relax. She stroked at his mane some more as she softly spoke. “Thank thou Fluttershy for telling us. I guess I’ll have a talk with Blueblood in the morning.”

Celestia nodded in agreement. “I shall join you sister, because my nephew is no prince after performing such a heinous act against this precious little one.” She frowned, but her brows furrowed in anger as well.

Luna carefully levitated the sleeping child onto her back, wrapped up in the blanket Fluttershy offered. “Before we return to the castle, may I ask one of you to accompany us? I would like for some pony to be in my bedroom with Timmy, to watch over him, while myself and my sister talk with Blueblood tomorrow.”

Rainbow spoke up. “I’ll come with you princesses. I’ll make sure the little guy is safe from any more harm from that poor excuse for a prince.” She huffed.

Luna and Celestia nodded. “Thank you thou loyal Rainbow Dash.” Luna looked around at the others with a warm smile. “Thank thou all for all of your help in searching for Timmy. I promise, Prince Blueblood shall face the rightful punishment for his actions. For now my sister and I bid thou all a goodnight.”

“Goodnight Princess Luna, Princess Celestia.” The four spoke softly as Rainbow followed behind them.

Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and Rainbow Dash left the cottage, hovered up into the air, and flew towards Canterlot. Luna looked back at the sleeping child “Don’t worry little one, Prince Blueblood won’t bother thou again.” She whispered and turned to Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash, there is another reason I asked for one of you to come with us?”

Rainbow looked at the night princess curiously. “Yes Princess Luna?”

“I asked for some pony to accompany us to Canterlot, and stay in the room with Timmy tomorrow, because I don’t want him to witness me change into something that I will regret.” She furrowed her brows with determination.

Celestia swallowed nervously. “Luna…you don’t mean?”

Luna nodded firmly. “Yes Tia. Tomorrow Prince Blueblood shall face the wrath of Nightmare Moon.” A smirk crept across her face as the three headed toward the castle.

Well it looks like Blueblood screwed up big time! :twilightoops: :pinkiegasp:

Chapter Seven

Princess Luna was sleeping peacefully in her bedroom until she was awoken by the sound of whimpering coming from the little boy she had come to love with all her heart. She blinked her eyes open, let out a soft yawn, and carefully lifted her wing to see Timmy curled up next to her. She could sense he was still shaken up from the events of the previous night and her heart ached to see the small child like this.

She leaned her head down to his, nuzzled at his cheek, and whispered soothingly into his ear. “Shh… it’s okay little one, I’m here to protect you…shh.” She used her wing to gently stroke at his small form and he calmed his shaking at the sound of her elegant voice.

He stirred a little as he let out a little yawn, blinking his eyes open, and looked up to see the warm smile of the princess. He placed a small bandaged hand on one of her hooves and gave her a frown. “Miss Luna…I’m sorry if I woke you.” His little lips quivered, afraid of how she might react.

Luna frowned at the fear she saw in his eyes and nuzzled at his little hand gently. “No sweetheart, you have nothing to apologize for.” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile. She let out a sigh as she looked into his eyes. “Timmy, is what my despicable nephew Prince Blueblood did you last night still bothering you?”

He clenched eyes shut allowing a stray tear to roll down his cheek as he slowly nodded his head. He opened them back up to look up at Luna tearfully. “It was so scary Miss Luna. After Mister Blueblood left me in those dark, creepy woods, I was all alone, and I felt no one would come and look for me.” He whimpered and started to shake with sobs.

Luna’s heart broke at the sorrow the little boy was showing. She stroked at his back with her wing soothingly as she allowed him to continue. “When that wolf attacked me, I was so scared that it would eat me.” He took in small breaths as he finished as a little smile crept across his face. “Miss Rainbow and Miss Fluttershy came to save me from the wolf, and Miss Fluttershy helped make my knee feel better.”

Luna smiled warmly as she continued to stroke at his back gently. “That’s right little one. There are those who do care about you with all their hearts and will always be there for you in the time of need.” She kissed him gently on the forehead. “Now sweetheart, what do you say about us going to see what’s for breakfast in the dining hall?”

He smiled up at her softly and nodded. “Okay Miss Luna.” He spoke softly.

She carefully lifted her wing up over him to climb out of her bed and stretched out her wings and legs. She looked at Timmy “Little one, come sit on the edge of my bed for a minute.” He nodded as he moved to the edge of the bed, allowing his legs to dangle. “Now Timmy, if it’s okay with you, may I see your hands?”

He nodded. “Yes Miss Luna.” He carefully stretched out his hands side by side to her.

She gave him a warm smile. “This isn’t going to hurt at all little one, but I’m going to complete the healing of your hands with my magic, okay?” She reached up a hoof to gently rub at his shoulder.

He nodded, giving her a light smile. “Okay Miss Luna, I trust you.”

She placed her horn atop of his hands and very carefully enveloped them in her warm blue aura. A soft smile formed across her face as she started to gently unwrapped the bandages to reveal his hands were now cleared of scratches. She gave him a warm smile. “There sweetheart, that’s better.”

He looked down at his hands with a bright smile and looked up into her eyes. “Thank you Princess Luna. That felt warm and it didn’t hurt at all.” He let out a little giggle.

“I’m glad Timmy. I wouldn’t do anything that would bring any more harm than that poor excuse for a nephew of mine already has.” She smiled softly as she carefully levitated him onto her back. “Let’s go get you something to eat sweetheart.” She looked back at him and nuzzled at his cheek.

She decided to trot out onto the balcony of the castle, looking up at Celestia’s sun shining brightly against the clear blue sky, and noticed Rainbow Dash flying overhead. She gave a smirk as she cleared her throat and called out to the cyan Pegasus. “Rainbow Dash, our dear friend, could you come down here for a minute?”

Rainbow Dash was enjoying the morning breeze against her fur when she heard the voice of Princess Luna. She looked down to see her and the little boy on the balcony, and carefully flew down to them, landing on the balcony. She bowed her head to Luna. “Good morning princess.” She lifted her head and gave the child a warm smirk. ‘Heya there little guy, how are you feeling?”

Timmy looked at Rainbow Dash with a soft smile. “I’m doing okay Miss Rainbow.” He leaned over a little bit while on Luna’s back and hugged around Rainbow’s neck. “Thank you for saving me last night from that scary wolf Miss Rainbow.”

Rainbow reached a foreleg up and wrapped it around his small form, laying her head against his shoulder. “Don’t worry little buddy, I never leave my friends hanging.” She patted his back as they broke the hug gently.

Luna smiled at the two. “Would you like to join us for breakfast this morning?”

Rainbow Dash licked her lips. “You bet princess, I’m starving.” She earned a light chuckle from both Luna and Timmy.

The three exited the balcony back into the castle and made their way to the dining hall.

Prince Blueblood was sound asleep in his bedroom of the castle when of a sudden there was an abrupt knock on his door, causing the unicorn to shoot up in his bed. “I’m up…I’m up.” He let out a loud yawn and blinked his eyes open. “Whose there anyway, how dare you wake me up like some uncouth Neanderthal?”

A guard opened the doors and stood in the door way. “My apologies Sir Blueblood, but you are requested by Princess Celestia to meet with her in the dining hall immediately.”

Blueblood gasped and a deep, nervous swallow traveled down his throat. He felt beads of sweat start to form on his brow as he shook them away and looked sternly at the guard. “Yes you miserable toe rag, go inform my dear Aunt Tia that I will make my presence soon.” A sneer crept across his lips.

The guard bowed his head. “Yes Sir.” He turned on his heel and trotted out of Blueblood’s bedroom.

I got to think something to prevent Aunt Tia from confronting me. I know, I’ll just blame the whole thing on the guards and tell her that they put me up to it. That’s it, that’s a good idea.

The sneer turned into a sly grin and Blueblood took in a deep breath, and exhaled deeply before exiting his bedroom.

Inside the dining hall, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash, and Timmy were all enjoying a wonderful breakfast. Celestia asked for the chef to fix Timmy a plate of scrambled eggs with toast spread with butter and jelly. Also he had a glass of orange juice with his meal while Princess Celestia and Luna just had a cup of tea, and Rainbow Dash had a plate of hay cakes with hay bacon.

As she sipped her tear, Celestia looked at the little boy as he was eating at his food. She placed her cup down and sighed heavily. “Timmy, I would like to apologize for the actions of my nephew Prince Blueblood done to you last night. I just want to let you know that you are loved little one and don’t you ever feel that you aren’t.”

Timmy gave her a light smile and nodded his head as he finished the last bite of his scrambled eggs. “It’s okay Miss Celestia, you don’t need to be sorry. “

Suddenly the doors to the dining hall opened and in came trotting Prince Blueblood. “Aunt Tia you wanted to see…” He cut himself off when he saw Timmy sitting with the three mares.

“Ah… my dear nephew, it is so good for you to finally join us.” Celestia greeted with a soft tone yet her eyes held a deep seeded anger in them. Suddenly she saw movement in the corner of her eye and the small child was huddling up against Luna trembling as he looked at Blueblood.

Luna looked down concerned for Timmy, lowered her head to nuzzle at the top of his head, and then looked at Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash, could you maybe take Timmy with you while my sister and I have a little talk with my nephew?”

Rainbow Dash nodded. “Sure thing Princess Luna.” She trotted up to Luna and the frightened child leaning forward on her forelegs. “Hop on little buddy, let’s go for a little ride, okay?” She gave him a warm smile.

He looked up at Princess Luna who gave him a reassuring smile and nod. He turned back to Rainbow Dash. “Okay Miss Rainbow, that sounds like fun.” He said softly as he carefully walked over and climbed up onto her back.

As Rainbow stood back up in her forelegs she turned back to the little boy. “Hold on little guy.” She gave him a soft smirk as he wrapped his little arms around her neck and she started trotting outside of the dining hall to the balcony.

Celestia and Luna watched as the cyan Pegasus hovered into the air and started to fly up into the sky with the child on her back. Then they slowly turned their attention to Blueblood who was standing awkwardly looking at his aunts. He swallowed nervously under the glare the two royal sisters as he felt the beads of sweat build up again.

“Oh I’m so happy that the child is safe and sound where he…” He was cut off when Luna stomped a hoof on the floor.

“Silence!” she yelled. Her lips pursed with anger as she gritted her teeth.

Celestia closed her eyes and sighed heavily as she saw her sister seethe with anger. She opened her eyes back up and glared angrily at her nephew. “Blueblood, don’t play your silly games with us. We know you were the one who devised the plan to kidnap Timmy.”

“Aunt Tia it wasn’t me…it was the guards… they made…” He was cut off once again, this time with Celestia stomping her hoof.

“Enough my nephew! We know you done it, because our young friend told us!” A scowl of anger formed on her face. “As for the guards we shall deal with them in time. As for you my dear nephew, we have a much more severe punishment for you.”

He swallowed nervously as his legs started to shake. “W---what do you mean Aunt Tia? What are you two going to do to me?” He asked timidly.

“Well, as of right now Blueblood you are hereby relieved of your duties as prince of Canterlot and from now on you will no longer live in the castle.” Celestia nodded her head firmly as Blueblood gasped.

“What? You can’t be serious Aunt Tia! That is not fair…I can’t live among commoners!” His mouth was agape and showed frustration.

Celestia smirked. “That is final Blueblood! For the disgraceful act you performed, from me this is a lenient punishment. However, I shall leave and allow my sister to inflict her own punishment.” She carefully trotted up beside Luna and whispered. “Enjoy yourself Luna, but try not to go too far.” She gave her a playful wink and trotted to exit the dining hall.

Blueblood looked up at her with pleading eyes. “Please Aunt Tia don’t leave me in here with her.” He fell to the floor pleading and bowing his head.

Celestia’s smirk grew wider. “Goodbye my dear nephew.” She let out a little giggle as she trotted out of the dining hall, shutting the door behind her.

Luna closed her eyes and spread out her wings. A sudden chill roamed through the dining hall, causing Blueblood to shake fearfully. He swallowed nervously as he stood back up on shaky legs and turned around to see the princess of the night hovering before him, wings spread wide, and with her eyes still shut.

She snapped them open and what once were cyan hued eyes were now pure white orbs and her brows were furrowed with anger. “Blueblood, you are hereby subjected to the wrath of me…” Suddenly, Luna folding in her wings, curled herself into a ball, and surrounded herself in a deep royal blue aura. Without warning the aura broke with force and Luna was transformed into her darker alter ego. “Nightmare Moon!” she yelled down at Blueblood with her royal canterlot voice.

He stood there trembling on his legs, unable to speak. The beads of sweat poured down his face and his teeth chattered. He looked up at Nightmare Moon with fear.

A loud cackle echoed through the room as she lit her horn up and shot a bolt of lightning right at the floor next to Blueblood, causing him to jump. “Do you think what you did to that little child would go unpunished you insolent fool?! I vow to make your pitiful life miserable until you learn how your actions felt to Timmy!” An evil smile grew across her lips as she enveloped the terrified former prince in a dark blue to black aura.

“Wh---what are you…GAH!” Blueblood was shocked with small lightning bolts that surrounded the inner shell of the aura causing him to scream out in pain. Nightmare Moon chuckled at the unicorn’s pain as she gave him another jolt. “Auh…s-s-stop, please?!” he begged with tears threatening to escape the corners of his eyes.

Nightmare Moon released her aura around Blueblood, causing him to collapse on the ground writing in pain. She let out a lowly chuckle. “Oh this is just too much fun.” Her smile grew wider as she wrapped her magic around his form, lifted him up in the air, and started to squeeze him tightly. A gasp of air escaped Blueblood’s lips as he tried to breathe. “Now you will leave this castle, join the residents of Canterlot as one of them, and never step foot back into this castle unless ordered to. Do you understand me you poor excuse for a stallion?” She kept her grip on him with her magic and kept constricting it around him tighter.

Blueblood gasped for breath as he weakly replied. “I…I… Gah!... Yes your highness!” He screamed out as he was let go, only to fall back to the ground, landing with a thud.

Nightmare Moon cackled as she meticulously trotted up to him and lowered her head down to his level. “Good pony. Now get out!” She yelled.

He stood up weakly on shaky legs, turned around, and limped out of the dining hall.

Nightmare Moon was slowly encased in her own aura and swallowed up in a bright glowing white light. After a few seconds, she transformed back into Princess Luna with a sly grin on her face.

Oh that felt wonderful. Now that sorry excuse for a nephew shouldn’t be coming around anymore, because if he does, I guess he’ll have to have another altercation with Nightmare Moon.

She let out a small giggle to herself and trotted out of the dining hall with a wide grin of satisfaction.

I know it was a little punishment, but I didn't want to kill him, but let him feel what it feels to mess with Princess Luna and those she cares for. :twilightblush:

Chapter Nine

Princess Luna continued to trot through the palace gardens, admiring the beautiful array of flowers as she watching Rainbow Dash soaring above with Timmy riding on her back. A smile of warmth crept across the princess’s muzzle as she witnessed the sight. She closed her eyes, took in a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and felt her heart flutter for the realization that soon, the little boy will officially be her son.

Soon my little prince, you’ll have a true loving family that you deserve. I promise to give you the life that a small one such as you should have, a life that was unjustly taken away from you from those poor excuse for parents. She let out a soft sigh as she opened her eyes to see Rainbow Dash hovering down towards the garden.

She trotted toward the two “Hello Rainbow Dash and Timmy.” She looked at the small child and gave him a warm smile “Did you have fun flying with Rainbow little one?”

Timmy smiled brightly at Luna and gave her a nod “Yes I did Miss Luna. Miss Rainbow made sure I was safe, but also showed me how fun it was to fly.” He leaned forward on Rainbow Dash’s back and gave her a big hug around her neck.

Rainbow let out a light-hearted chuckle and reached up with a hoof to rub at his little hands “I’m proud that you enjoyed it little buddy. Maybe next time if it’s okay with Princess Luna I can take you to my home of Cloudsdale.” She looked back at him and reached up to ruffle at his hair playfully.

He let out a giggle “What is Cloudsdale Miss Rainbow?” He looked at her curiously.

She leaned on her forelegs to let him climb off her back and she sat up on her haunches. She placed a hoof on his shoulder and smirked down at him softly “Well little guy, Cloudsdale is not only the home of yours truly, but all Pegasus ponies. It is also the place where we control all the weather that occurs here in Equestria.” She smiles confidently.

He looks up with a wondrous smile “Oh that sounds neat Miss Rainbow.” He turned his head and looked up at Luna “Miss Luna, could I maybe go visit Cloudsdale with Miss Rainbow one day?” He gave her a hopeful smile.

Luna gave a light chuckle at his excitement and placed a hoof gently on his back “Of course you may dear. It would be a great learning experience for you as you learn of how Equestria strives.” She looked down at him with a warm smile, and then turned to a guard who stood watch at the entrance to the gardens “Guard, could you come here please?”

The guard nodded and trotted up to the three, and bowed his head to the princess. “Yes your highness, what is your command?”

She gave him a nod and carefully brought Timmy forward before her “Could you take our young friend to see my sister for a little bit?” She looked down at Timmy “Sweetheart, the guard is just going to take you to Tia, okay? I’d like to talk with Rainbow Dash for a little bit, and then I’ll be there when I’m done.” She nuzzled at the top of his head gently.

He nodded as he looked up at her “Yes Miss Luna.” He gave her a soft smile and turned to Rainbow waving a hand at her “Bye Miss Rainbow, I had so much fun this morning. Thank you for taking me flying.” He gave her the same soft smile.

Rainbow smirked proudly “Ah… you’re welcome kid. Anytime you would like to go flying with the awesome one, just let me know, and I would be more than happy to take you for a ride.” She gave him a wink and reached out to ruffle his head playfully once more “You have a good day little buddy, and I’ll see you later.” She waved a hoof at him.

The guard couldn’t help but smile at the sight and leaned down on his forelegs “Hop on young lad, there is no need for you to wear your little legs out walking.” He gave the child a wink as Timmy climbed up onto the guard’s back. The guard stood back up and bowed his head to Princess Luna, nodded to Rainbow and turned to trot back into the castle.

Once they were out of the clear, Luna turned to Rainbow Dash “My dear friend Rainbow Dash, could I ask a favor of you?” She gave the cyan mare a hopeful look.

Rainbow nodded “Sure thing princess. They don’t call me the Element of Loyalty for nothing.” She saluted with a hoof and let out a chuckle. She smiled proudly “What would you like for me to do princess?” She looked at Luna curiously.

Luna sighed softly “Well Rainbow Dash, I’ve decided to officially adopt Timmy as my own and Tia thought we could have an adoption party for the small child.” She let out a light giggle “And I was wondering if it would be okay with you Rainbow Dash if you could perform your special Sonic Rainboom for Timmy at the party?” She gave Rainbow a hopeful smile.

Rainbow shot up in the air, cut a backflip in midair, and stuck a pose with her left foreleg raised up in the air. She smirked proudly “Aw… yea! A sonic rainboom will be no problem for the greatest flier in all of Equestria! I would be more than honored to give the little guy an awesome welcome to Equestria.” She hovered down to the ground and bowed her head to Luna.

Luna let out a light chuckle from Rainbow’s enthusiasm “I knew I could count on you Rainbow Dash. I hope Timmy will enjoy the party when it gets set up and Tia and I take him to it.” She let out a soft sigh.

Rainbow Dash trotted up to the royal sister and patted at her back gently with a hoof “Don’t worry princess, the cool little dude will love it! “She gave Luna a reassuring smile “Besides, if Pinkie is going to be organizing it, then it will definitely be a celebration to remember.” She let out a chuckle and gave a smirk.

Luna let out a chuckle of her own and nodded in agreement “I believe you’re right Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie does indeed know how to throw a party.” She smiled brightly.

Rainbow nodded “Yes she does.” She rolled her eyes at the fact as she hovered up into the air “Well princess, if there isn’t anything else you’d like for me to do, I’m going to go and practice my skills and prepare myself for an awesome performance for Timmy.” She smirked proudly.

Luna nodded “That sounds like a good plan Rainbow Dash. Thank you again my friend for doing this for the little one.” She gave Rainbow a warm, thankful smile.

Rainbow shook her head softly “No problem Luna.” She saluted with a fore hoof “I’ll see you later princess.” She smiled softly and shot off into the sky.

Luna smiled and let out a soft sigh as she turned to trot back into the castle.

Down in Ponyville, inside the Sugarcube Corner Pinkie Pie was in the kitchen preparing the variety of confections the sweet shop had to offer for the day. The owners of the shop, the Cakes were upstairs tending to their children, Pound and Pumpkin Cake. Pinkie Pie brought in a tray of freshly baked muffins to put in the dessert case when she spotted Twilight trotting in.

“Hi Twilight! What you are doing on this super-duper wonderful day? Are you here to buy some cookies, cupcakes, muffins, or…” She was cut off as Twilight gently placed a hoof against her muzzle.

“Calm down Pinkie!” She sighed heavily and rolled her eyes “Now, if I take my hoof off your mouth, will you let me speak?” She earned a vigorous nod from the pink mare. She took her hoof off Pinkie’s muzzle as she gave her a warm smile “Anyways, I’m not here to purchase any sweets today Pinkie, but I’m here to ask a favor of you. What do you say?” She gave Pinkie a hopeful smile.

Pinkie beamed “Of course you silly filly. You know Twilight, whenever you need anything, you can either ask me or the others. That is what friends are for.” She placed a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder “So what do you need my silly filly of a friend?” She let out a giggle.

Twilight shook her head lightly and let out a soft sigh “Well, instead of me telling you, I think you should read this.” She levitated a scroll out of her saddlebags she was wearing and unrolled it in front of Pinkie for her to read.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I’m writing to you to let you and your fellow Elements of Harmony know that after last night’s heinous events concocted by my poor excuse for a nephew, Princes Blueblood that I have made the decision of banishing him from Canterlot Castle. From now on when you and your friends come to Canterlot, you will see him living among the citizens of Canterlot. Also, my sister taught him a lesson he would never forget by turning herself into Nightmare Moon, but don’t worry, because it was only for this one time.

The other reason I wanted to write is to inform you all that my sister and I have decided to officially adopt Timmy as our own. You all have come to welcome the child warmly into our home of Equestria and Luna has taken the role of mother for the little boy. My only request my faithful student is if you could ask your fellow element, Pinkie Pie to throw a party for Timmy. We can celebrate his adoption at Sugarcube Corner, because my sister and I would like for the ponies of Ponyville to meet him.

I’ll be waiting for your response.

Your teacher and friend,

Princess Celestia

After reading the letter, Pinkie gasped loudly, beamed with a face-splitting smile, and shot up in the air spreading out her forelegs in joy. She landed back down onto the floor “YIPPEE! Of course I’ll throw a party for the sweet little cutie pie! I’ll make sure that he has the best first ever ‘Welcome to Equestria’ party he ever had!” She pounded her fore hooves in determination.

Twilight shook her head lightly with a light-hearted chuckle “Thank you Pinkie. I’ll let you get started putting the party together and I’ll go see the others to ask if they would like to pitch in contributing to this special occasion.” She gave Pinkie a nod.

Pinkie saluted “Okie dokie lokie Twilight. I promise when I’m done, this party is going to be super-duper awesome!” She leant her head forward to whisper into Twilight’s ear “Don’t tell Rainbow I said that, because that is her word.” She gave Twilight a wink.

Twilight lightly giggled and nodded “Don’t worry Pinkie I won’t tell Rainbow you used her word.” She patted Pinkie on her back “I’ll come back later to check up on how it’s going. For now I’m going to go see Fluttershy and ask if she would like to pitch in. Spike is already at Rarity’s assisting her and she’s working on some new outfits for the little one to wear.” She gave Pinkie a smile before turning and trotting out of Sugarcube Corner.

Rainbow Dash was flying high above Ponyville, preparing for her Sonic Rainboom when she spotted Twilight trotting toward Fluttershy’s cottage. She smirked and flew down toward the lavender unicorn “Hey Twilight!” She called out.

Twilight stopped in her tracks and turned her head from left to right, and then looked up to see Rainbow Dash flying down to the ground. She waved a hoof “Hey Rainbow Dash, what you are you doing? Don’t you have cloud duty today?” She asked curiously with a warm smile.

Rainbow Dash came to a slow flight, flapping her wings steadily, and hovered down onto the ground. She smirked proudly and shook her head “Nope, today’s a free day for me. I’m just warming up to perform my one and only awesome Sonic Rainboom! I’m going to do it for Timmy at his adoption party that Luna wants to throw for him.” She smiled brightly.

Twilight looked at the cyan mare curiously “Oh, you already know about the party?” She reached a hoof up to her head and scratched at the back of her mane.

Rainbow chuckled “Of course Twilight. When I was at the castle watching after the little guy and taking for a little ride on my back, Princess Luna asked me if I could perform my Sonic Rainboom for Timmy. I couldn’t let only Princess Luna and Princess Celestia down, but also the little dude. He deserves a show he’ll remember forever, and I plan on giving him one.” She placed a hoof against her chest proudly.

“Well, that sounds like a great idea. I’m sure Timmy will enjoy watching you perform Rainbow Dash.” Twilight gave her a warm smile “I’m on my way now to Fluttershy’s to see if she would like to participate in the party somehow. Would you like to come?”

Rainbow Dash “Sure, I can practice some more after. I’ve got to get my wings a little rest anyways.” She stretched out her wings and folded them back against her sides. The two continued on their way to the home of Fluttershy.

As they arrived at the cottage, Twilight was about to knock on the door with a hoof until the two mares heard a commotion going on inside “Would you two please try to get along with each other… um… if that is okay?” They could hear the timid voice of Fluttershy.

“But Fluttershy…. He spilt my cup of tea!” Twilight and Rainbow then looked at each other with their mouths agape, because that was the voice of Discord.

“Um… that is true Discord, but you did kind of eat his carrot… and that wasn’t nice. So… um… if you could put him down, I’d truly appreciate it.” Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other confused. They decided to trot inside to see what the commotion was all about.

They gasped when they entered, because they witnessed Discord holding Angel Bunny upside down by his tail. Angel Bunny was flailing his little arms and feet unable to escape from the grasp of Discord, but to no avail. Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but fall backwards onto the floor laughing.

Fluttershy shook her head at Rainbow Dash as she saw the two and hovered over to them “Um… hi there Twilight and Rainbow Dash. I’m sorry about… well this.” She motions toward Discord and Angel.

Twilight held a hoof up and shook her head softly “That’s okay Fluttershy. Is there anything we… “She cut herself off as she turned to see Rainbow still rolling around on the floor laughing “I mean I can do to help?”

Fluttershy shook her head “No… um… everything will be okay.” She turned toward Discord “Isn’t that right Discord?” She gave him just a little of her infamous stare.

Discord snickered at the struggling rabbit in his grip, but then looked at Fluttershy “Eh… I guess so Fluttershy. Jeez, I never can have any fun.” He sighed heavily and released Angel Bunny, causing him to fall to the floor and landing on his head.

Angel stood back up and chittered angrily, waving a paw at Discord. “What? I let you go, you little fur ball, what else do you want?” Discord crossed his arms and quirked an eyebrow down at the rabbit.

Fluttershy hovered over to Discord and touched him on his shoulder “Well Discord… um… you owe Angle Bunny an apology. So say you’re sorry… um… if that’s okay.” She gave him a pleading look.

Discord closed his eyes and shook his head “I won’t unless he apologizes first.” He let out a grunt of annoyance.

Fluttershy looked down at Angel with the same pleading look “Angel sweetheart, will you please apologize to Discord? And if you do, then he’ll apologize to you.” She hovered down onto the floor and nuzzled at his cheek.

Angel smiled a little at being nuzzled and let out a sigh as he nodded slowly. He reached up a bunny paw to shake with Discord “Oh, well that was easy.” The draconequus said as he reached down with his talons to shake the bunny paw. He let out a sigh “I guess since you’re animal enough to apologize Angel, I’ll give you this.” With a snap of the fingers on his lion paw, a carrot magically appeared in front of Angel.

Angel hopped up and down excitedly as he grabbed the carrot and scurried off. Discord grunted “Hmph… not even a thank you.” He sighed heavily as he turned to the two guests as Rainbow was finally stood up from laughing, wiping a tear away from her cheek “So what are two of my wonderful pony friends doing here today?” He asked with a grin.

Twilight looked at him and Fluttershy “Well, I came to ask you Fluttershy if maybe you would like participate in a little party that Pinkie is planning.” She gave the timid Pegasus a warm smile.

Fluttershy smiled warmly and nodded “Ooh, I’d love to Twilight. Who is the party going to be for… um… if it’s okay for me to ask?” She gave a blush.

“The party is for the little guy you and I saved from those poor excuses for firewood the other night Flutters.” Rainbow Dash spoke up with a smirk “Princess Luna asked me if I could perform a Sonic Rainboom, and of course I accepted.” She smiled proudly “I’m going to give the kid an awesome show!” She held her foreleg up in a victory pose.

Fluttershy, Discord, and Twilight let out a soft chuckle. Fluttershy nodded “Oh that sounds wonderful Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Of course I’ll pitch in with the party. I can get my song birds to come and perform a song for the little one.” She beamed warmly.

“Oh, that is the little human you told me about, isn’t it Fluttershy?” Discord asked curiously as Fluttershy looked up and nodded. A sly grin formed across his muzzle “Oh, I’d love to meet he little lad.” He looked at Twilight with a pleading face “Twilight, would it be okay if say I would to join this party?” He put his lion paw and eagle hand together in a begging manner.

Twilight sighed softly “Well, if you promise not to do anything extreme, I guess it’ll be okay.” She gave him a nod and soft smile.

Discord placed his eagle hand against his chest “Oh, I promise Twilight. I won’t do anything extreme, but could it be just a little bit of fun chaos?” Twilight rolled her eyes but reluctantly nodded “Then this little child shall enjoy the magical showcase of the one and only Master of Chaos Discord!” He let out a chuckle, earning a light giggle from the three mares.

“Well, then it’s settled.” Twilight spoke up “Fluttershy, would you care to join us to go see Applejack. We’re going to ask if she would like to join in the festivities as well. You can join us too Discord.” She gave them both a hopeful smile.

Discord gently waved a lion paw “I’ll be okay here. I’ll watch over your animals Fluttershy while you’re gone, okay?” She patted the yellow Pegasus on the head, earning a giggle.

Fluttershy nodded “Okay Discord.” She turned to her animals “Alright my friends, I’m going to be gone for a little bit, but Discord will make sure nothing bad happens while I’m gone, okay?” The animals chittered and chirped. Fluttershy turned to look up at Discord “Alright Discord, I’ll see you later.” She trotted over to join Twilight and Rainbow Dash as the three exited the cottage.

Discord followed behind to watch them leave and waved a lion paw “Bye Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash.” They each waved a hoof back as they turned to trot toward Sweet Apple Acres.

Discord made sure they were a good ways away before closing the door behind him. He looked at all the animals and with the snap of his talons they were instantly knocked out. He grinned slyly as he watched them sleep peacefully.

Well, since Fluttershy and the others are gone, it looks like I need to pay Princess Celestia and Princess Luna a visit. I’d like to meet this young human beforehand.

With another snap of his talons he vanished.

Author's Note

:pinkiegasp: Well, what does our favorite draconequus have up his sleeve this time? What does he have planned for Timmy at his adoption party, and how will Timmy react to the Master of Chaos?

Chapter Ten

After teleporting away from Fluttershy’s cottage, Discord ended up in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. However, neither Princess Celestia nor Princess Luna was anywhere to be found and this puzzled the draconequus. He placed his lion paw up to his chin and rubbed at it in a thinking manner.

Hm… now I wonder where my two favorite royal siblings could be. Certainly they wouldn’t leave Canterlot unattended for unknown dangers to just come in and take over. Maybe I should just go take a look around to see if I can find them.

He sighed heavily as he turned to exit the throne room in search of the royal sisters. As he traveled through the halls he came upon two palace guards performing their daily patrol. They stopped their trotting when they spotted him “Halt! Sir, you are intruding on the castle grounds of Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. Unless the princesses have requested your presences, we are authorized to escort you out. So if you would be cooperative, come with us please.” One of the guards spoke as he gave Discord a stern look.

Discord greeted the two with a sly grin “But my good sirs, I’m just here to visit my good friends. Isn’t there an exception for close acquaintances?” His grin changed into a pleading frown.

“Discord?!” came a voice as he and the guards turned to see Princess Luna approaching them with Timmy riding on her back. She stopped in front of the guards “Guards, it’s okay, you shall take your leave. He poses no threat anymore.” She gave Discord a soft smile.

Both guards bowed their heads and spoke in unison “Yes your highness.” They then trotted away.

As soon as they were gone, Discord let out an exaggerated sigh “Whew! I thought they would never leave,” he mumbled as he turned to look at Luna. He bowed his head “As always Luna, it’s a pleasure to see you.” He raised his head and gave her a sly smile and wink.

Luna nodded in response “Well, I won’t say it’s a pleasure, but it is good to see you again as well Discord.” She gave him a soft smile “However, if I may ask Discord, how come have you decided to visit Canterlot today?”

Discord gasped as his jaw dropped “My dear, dear Luna, now would I, the Master of Chaos need a reason to come visit my two… well one of my two favorite ponies in all of Equestria.” He gave her an innocent smile “However, I wanted to come and see the little human child I’ve heard so much about from my dear friend Fluttershy.” He looks past Luna to the little boy on her back “And I can see that she was right.”

Luna turned her head to look back at Timmy with a look of curiosity of his face. She let out a light giggle and very carefully levitated him off her back and stood him up in front of her. She sat down on her haunches and gently placed a hoof on his shoulder “Timmy dear, I would like to introduce you to Discord.” She looked down at him with a warm smile, and then at Discord “Discord, may I introduce you to Timmy.”

Discord leaned down to Timmy’s eye level “Well hello there Sir Timmy. Although Lulu already introduced me, allow me to introduce myself more formerly. As she said, my name is Discord, Master of Chaos… well reformed Master of Chaos.” He reached out his lion paw “It is an honor to meet you young lad.” He gave the child a smirk.

Timmy giggled a little at the draconequus and reached out a small hand of his own “Hello Mister Discord, it’s nice to meet you… AAH!” He let out a scream as Discord’s lion paw came off after he shook it.

Discord couldn’t help but collapse onto the floor laughing. With a flick of his talons, his lion paw magically reappeared.

Luna shook her head and rubbed at Timmy’s shoulder as he looked up at her confused and scared. She leaned down and spoke softly “Shh… don’t be scared little one, he is just being his usual self.” She gave him a reassuring smile, and then looked at Discord with a roll of her eyes.

Discord slowly stood back up and sighed heavily from laughing so hard “Aw… ha… I’m sorry little guy. I just can’t help myself at times causing a little bit of chaos, even if it’s fun chaos… haha.” He wiped at his eye with his bear paw as a tear rolled down his cheek. He looked down at Timmy “Here my lad, to show you how truly sorry I am, how would you like this?” With a snap of his talon a cone of fluffy pink cotton candy appeared in front of Timmy.

Timmy looked at the cotton candy with a big smile, but looked up at Princess Luna to see if it was okay. She smiled warmly down at him “It’s safe Timmy, don’t worry.” She leaned down and gave him a gentle kiss on the top of his head.

He blushed and nodded up at her as he turned to look at Discord. He reached out and grabbed the cotton candy cone “Thank you Mister Discord.” He gave Discord a soft smile and bit into the cotton candy.

Discord snickered to himself “You’re welcome Timmy. I hope it’s sweet enough.” He continued to snicker a little bit more and Luna looked at him curiously.

Timmy sighed softly as he chewed his first bite of cotton candy “Mm… this is good Mr… Kaboom!” Suddenly the cotton candy exploded right in the little boy’s face. Little pieces of pink fluff covered parts of his face and were scattered within in hair. He reached up and pulled the cotton candy off his face, but when he reached up to take the fluff out of his hair, it suddenly melted and became sticky. This caused Timmy’s little fingers to be intertwined in the pink goop and his hair.

As he pulled, he pulled his hair along with the goop, and this caused him to cry out in pain. Luna looked down worried and tried to calm him down “Shh… little one, just try to relax, and I’ll take you to get washed up.” She scooped him up into her forelegs and held him close to her. She held his legs underneath her left foreleg and wrapped her right one around his back letting him lay his head on her shoulder. She frowned as he cried, and then she looked at Discord with her brows furrowed in anger “How come did you do that for Discord to his poor child?” She rubbed up and down Timmy’s back to comfort him.

Discord chuckled but stopped as he saw the child crying “Well I thought the little lad would think that was funny Lulu. I didn’t know he would be sad about it.” He shrugged his shoulders and gave a little frown.

Luna shook her head disapprovingly “Discord, I’m very disappointed in you. I suggest that you come up with a real good apology when we come back from getting this little one a nice warm bath. Do you understand me?” She eyed him sternly as she continued to rub up and down Timmy’s back.

Discord sighed heavily and lazily waved his lion paw “Oh… alright Lulu, I’ll apologize to the child when you return, I promise.” He sat down on the palace floor Indian-style.

Luna turned her head and whispered shushing sounds into Timmy’s ear “Shh… it’s okay sweetheart. Let’s go get you washed up and we’ll go somewhere special.” She gave him a warm smile and very carefully hovered into the air. She gently flapped her wings and flew toward one of the palace washrooms.

As they left, Discord was left alone with his thoughts. Gosh, I just wanted to welcome the little guy to Equestria, Discord style. Hmm… I’ll think of something special to make it up to him instead of just an apology. A slow, sly smirk crept across his muzzle as he thought deeply.

Author's Note

Well, Timmy's first meeting with the Master of Chaos didn't go so well. :twilightoops: I want to apologize for taking so long to bring this chapter to you all, and I apologize that it's a short chapter.

Also, I want to thank dread94 for giving the ideas of what should happen with the first meeting between Discord and Timmy. :pinkiehappy:

Chapter Eleven

Ugh… I can’t believe this. First my very own family strips me of my royal status thanks to that little abomination, and then I’m banished from my home in the castle to live among commoners. And now I have to work in this sugar infested, poor excuse for a fine dining experience place of a donut shop. Eh… I need to find a way to get back into power. The former prince seethed with anger at his thoughts.

Outside in the front, Pony Joe was placing a tray of freshly baked donuts into the display case when Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis trotted in. He lifted his head up from the case and gave the two customer ponies a welcoming smile “Welcome to Donut Joe’s, where the donuts are always fresh, hot, and delicious. What can I get you two today?” He asked politely.

Fancy Pants gave him a nod and cleared his throat “Yes my good sir, I would like a chocolate éclair… and what would you like dear?” He turns his attention to Fleur De Lis who was looking over the display of different sweet treats.

She took a whiff of the aroma of the baked goodies and sighed softly. She looked over them one more time before deciding. “Oh, I would have a strawberry frosted donut please Sir.” A bright grin crept across her face.

Pony Joe nodded “Right away Sir and Madam.” He trotted along behind the case, got a couple of napkins, and used a pair of tongs to collect the two customers’ snacks. He placed them on top of the case “There you two go. Is there anything else I could get you?” He asked courteously.

Fancy Pants gasped some “Oh gosh, I almost forgot. If it isn’t too much trouble Mr. Joe, could we get to cups of hot chocolate?” He let out an awkward chuckle as Fleur De Lis shook her head softly and rolled her eyes.

“Oh Fancy, always forgetting a small thing or two,” she said with a light chuckle of her own.

Pony Joe nodded and trotted over to retrieve their hot cocoa. He returned with a small tray with the hot cocoa “Here you two go. That will be eight bits.”

Fancy Pants nodded and used his magic to levitate eight bits out of his saddle bag “That is why we enjoy coming here for our sinful pleasures sort of speak Mr. Joe. You are always reasonable with your prices.” He gave Joe the bits.

Joe nodded and smiled proudly “Well thank you Sir and Madam. I always try to assure my customers they will always get good food worth a good price. You both enjoy your meal and if you need anything else, just ask.” They both nodded at him as they went to sit at a table.

From inside the kitchen, Blueblood could faintly hear the voices of Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis. Hmm… now there goes two ponies that I could persuade to join me. I’m sure they would agree that my dear Aunt Tia bringing a human into Equestria is treason to the land. A slow, sly smirk crept across his muzzle as he made his way out to the dining room.

“So Fancy, after we finish our desserts, what do you say we go to the art gallery before we turn in for the night?” Fleur asked as she took a bite of her donut and sipped at her hot cocoa.

Fancy Pants finished chewing a bite of his éclair and nodded “Well dear, that sounds like a fine idea to me. I don’t mind seeing some beautiful art before I go to bed.” He lets out a small chuckle.

“Fancy Pants, Fleur, what a surprise to see you two here?” the two turned to the sound of the voice, and both looked at Blueblood with surprise.

“Ah… well, a pleasure to be running into you here Blueblood,” Fancy Pants spoke. He looked at the former prince curiously “But why would you want to eat here for? I thought you hated the taste of sweets.” He looked at Blueblood with a quirked eyebrow.

Fleur nodded in agreement and looked at him curiously “Yes, Fancy is right. You always said that if you even touched hoof in a place that sells sweets, you would literally feel dirty and ruin your royal status.”

Blueblood closed his eyes, his brows furrowed with frustration, and he let out a heavy sigh. He opened his eyes and looked at the two “Well… my royal status is no longer, because now I work here.” He gritted his teeth.

Fancy and Fleur both gasped as Fancy spoke up “What? How did you end up here, and what do you mean you no longer have royal status my good fellow?”

Blueblood sighed heavily “Ah…. I even hate to retell my story, but here it goes.” He took in a deep and exhaled.

After a few minutes…

“And that is how I ended up in this wretched place as a profession.” He rubbed at his forehead with a hoof.

Fancy cleared his throat “Well, that does sound like an ordeal having to be confronted by Nightmare Moon. However my dear boy, you must have done something to the child to bring forth such wrath of the princess. Am I right?”

Blueblood rolled his eyes and sighed “I only dropped him off where all abominations belong, the Everfree Forest. Yet those do-gooders, the Elements of Harmony rescued the little miscreant.” He turned his head mumbling to himself in anger.

“The Everfree Forest?!” Fleur gasped as she placed a hoof to her heart “Why would you take a young colt no matter what the species to that dreadful place Blueblood? That is barbaric!” Her lips pursed with anger.

Fancy nodded in agreement “I would have to concur with you my dear.” He turned to Blueblood “I believe you deserve to pay the consequences of your actions. I don’t know anything about humans, but I am sure the young lad is a gentleman both inside and out.” He smiled softly.

Blueblood shook his head in disbelief “WHA… you know, never mind, I’ll figure out how to deal with my situation myself. Good day to you Sir Fancy Pants and Madam Fleur,” he bid them farewell with a huff and flick of his mane as he trotted back into the kitchen.

What do those two know? All they do is go gaze at horrendous art and trot around all day with their fellow commoners. Blueblood huffed and puffed as he paced back and forth. There has to be some pony who will agree that bringing a human into Equestria will bring nothing but chaos. Some pony that knows the true evil that these creatures can bring, some pony… He cut his thoughts off as he smirked mischievously.

I got it! I know who exactly I can go to, but I wonder if he is still alive somehow. He closed his eyes in deep thought It’s going to be a treacherous and cold journey, but he is the only one who used to have the same status as my dear old Aunt Celesita before her and Aunt Luna casted him away.

He stomped his hoof proudly against the kitchen floor It’s settled, I’ll leave first thing in the morning. He let out a lowly chuckle Aunt Tia, Aunt Luna, I promise Prince Blueblood shall rise again, but this time I’ll make Equestria right by eradicating that little abomination and show that if you go against me, then you shall fall!

Author's Note

First off, I want to apologize to everyone for being late with the update. :fluttershysad: Also, who could Blueblood be talking about going to see? :pinkiegasp

Happy New Years to all of my fimfiction family/friends/readers/followers! :pinkiehappy:

Chapter Twelve

It was quiet in the castle’s royal ball room, nopony around, well except for Pinkie. The pink pony lowered herself from the ceiling dressed in a spy outfit with night vision goggles. She did a quick 360 to make sure she was alone. Once she confirmed it, she pulled out the famous party cannon.

“Prepare for the BOOM!” She yelled as she fired her cannon of fun.

Meanwhile in Celestia’s chambers….

“Did somepony say boom?” The sun princess said as she put her banana down, at the yell.

Back to Pinkie….

The ball room was now decorated beyond anything Pinkie has ever done. She stood in place as she looked in pride at her work.

“OOooooo Little Timmy Wimmy is going to love this” She said as she bounced out the room past the guards who were standing watch. When they saw her, their jaws dropped at the pink pony’s antics.

“I didn’t sign up for this.” One guard said.

“Get used to it private. That pony will remain a mystery.” The other said.

Little Timmy and Luna walked into Luna’s bed chamber, the little fellow still covered in cotton candy with teary eyes.

“Come along sweetie, let’s get you into a nice warm bath.”

*Sniffle* “Ok Miss Luna.” The little dear followed her into her private bathroom.

She started up the tub and made sure the water wasn’t too hot or cold. “Alright sweetie, let’s get you cleaned up for bed.”

“Um…Miss Luna, if it’s ok, can I take a bath by myself?” The little boy said blushing slightly

“Of course sweetie. I’ll be right outside the door if you need me.” She bent down and nuzzled his clean cheek.

“I’ll have a pair of PJ’s for you when you get out.”

A royal guard was doing his patrol route in gardens when suddenly a rock is smashed onto his head knocking him out cold. Blueblood then dragged the body of, removed his armor and tied and gagged the guard. He then placed the armor onto himself, but it was too big, but the enchanted armor shrank down to his size so he looked just like any guard.

“Perfect. Step one is complete, now to get rid of you.” The disguised ex-prince said as he threw the body into a big bush. He then walked out to the castle, smirking as his plan began to form into place.

Soon that little abomination will be no more.

“Miss Luna I’m finished cleaning up.” Timmy said. Luna then walked floating behind were clean Pajamas for him. When she saw Timmy he looked fresh out the box. He is such a cutie pie She thought to herself.

“Here you are Timmy.” She gives him the clothes and then leaves him so he can change. He steps out a few seconds later dressed up.

The PJ’s were sent by Rarity, they were the same color as Luna’s coat and Rarity even stitched in Luna’s cutie mark onto the hips of the pants.

“Aw you look so handsome sweetie” Luna says as she wraps him up into a soft hug. Timmy blushes lightly as he hugs her back.

“Thank you Miss Luna.” She then lets him go to the bed as she walks out to her balcony to see the sun being lowered by her sister. She then began to raise the moon flying high as she brought it high into the night sky. Little Timmy watched in awe at this scene, he never thought seeing the moon like this would be this beautiful.

Luna finished rising the moon and flew back to her room and saw Timmy on her bed smiling. “That was beautiful Miss Luna. I never saw anything like it.”

“Aw thank you sweetie, but doesn’t somepony rise and lower your sun and moon?” She asked curious.

“No they don’t.” Luna gasped.

“Then how do they do it?”

“My teacher taught us that the sun and moon raise and lower themselves.” He explained. Luna was jaw-dropped at hearing those words.

“Anyway, let’s get some rest sweetie.” She said as she climbed onto the bed, Timmy layed his small body on her side. Luna then laid her wing over him as a soft blanket. She then laid her head down and began to fall asleep.

Blueblood walked through the halls of the castle, until he came his Auntie Luna’s room. There were two guards standing by, he walked to them and deepened his voice.

“You’re both relieved of duty tonight and are to patrol the garden.”

“Thank you, Sergeant.” The two saluted and walk off, leaving the smirking fiend. He peaked inside the room to see his aunt and the little child sleeping peacefully, he gagged at the scene. He closed the door and stood in place. He began to think to himself.

Tomorrow that beast will be right where he belongs.

Little Timmy saw Miss Luna and Miss Celestia walking toward him, but they looked angry “Miss Luna, Miss Celestia, is something wrong?”

“Silence you foul little beast.” said Celestia. Timmy was shocked to hear her speak so bad.

“W..what?” The poor child whimpered.

“SILENCE” Luna shouted in her Royal Canterlot voice, making Timmy whimper in fear.

“I should have left in your world to suffer beast. You were nothing but trouble.” Luna spat out.

“Our precious nephew Blueblood was right. Your trouble and evil. Now I will now rid the world of you.” Celestia said as her horn began to glow.

Timmy was crying his eyes out on fear and confusion. He began shaking hard as her horn glowed brighter, but he saw strings attached to both Alicorn’s. He looked up and gasped in fright. Blueblood was controlling them.

“Now kill him…” He said with an evil smile.

The Celestia puppet then lowered her horn and sent a bright blast from her horn. Timmy tried to run but was stuck in place by Blueblood’s magic.

“NOOOOOOOOOO” The child shouted as he shot up in bed before the blast hit him. He breathed heavily as he looked at himself to make sure he was still alive. He sighed with relief, and jumped down off the bed and made a quick stop to the bathroom to wash the sweat off his head.

“Oh my dear child are you alright?” a voice said, making Timmy stop dead in his tracks.

“W…w…Who’s there?”

“Come out to the balcony.” Timmy did as the voice said, and looked around but saw no one.

Suddenly Discord appeared beside him, making the little child yelp. “Shhh little one I promise you I won’t hurt or scare you.” He said.

“What are you doing here Mister Discord…” The trembling child asked.

“I want to make it up to you from last time we met. I searched through your old world and found something you will love.”
Slightly curious the child asked “What is it?”

Discord smirked and snapped his fingers and the two vanished into the night. Meanwhile Luna was in bed mumbling in her sleep.
“*snore* Tia give us back Miss Muffin … we were having a tea party” She whined. Discord popped his head out of nowhere and shook his head at the Alicorn.

“Ponies.” He said as he vanished once again.

Timmy and Discord appeared in an empty theme park. There was no one in sight, but two boys.

“Where are we?” Timmy asked.

Discord then shot out confetti and balloons cheering “DISNEY WORLD!!!”

Timmy gasped with joy. “Really!?”

Discord nodded “I created the same park from your home world into my own world here. It’s all your’s.”

Timmy couldn’t believe it. His own Disney World, he always wanted to go there and now he had one for himself. He launched himself at Discord in the tightest hug he could muster.

“Thank you so much Mister Discord.” He said crying tears of happiness. Discord smiles and hugs the child back.

“You’re very welcome. I hope you forgive for the cotton candy bomb.”

“I do Mister Discord.”

“Now go ride and play whatever you want.” He said. Timmy then ran off to explore his park. Discord smile as he snapped his talons and made a camera system appear and chocolate milk in his paw. The camera’s watched Timmy as he went to go play. Discord smiled as he watched him play.

Who knew being good could feel so good.

Author's Note

I want to thank moonstar14 for assisting/co-writing this chapter. he done a great job. :pinkiehappy; Also, it looks like Blueblood has something up his sleeve to start his evil plan. :pinkiegasp: Also, I believe Discord has made it up to Timmy perfectly with his own little theme park idea, don't you all? :twilightsmile:

Chapter Thirteen

As morning arrived in Equestria, Princess Luna started to stir in her sleep as she felt the warm shower of sunlight wash over her while it poured through her balcony window. She let out a slight yawn and blinked her eyes open to look out at Celestia’s sun shining brightly in the horizon. She turned her head to the side and lifted her wing carefully to look down at the sleeping child beside her.

A warm smile crept across her muzzle as she watched Timmy’s small form rise and fall peacefully as he slept. She leaned her head down to nuzzle at his cheek and whispered into his ear “Timmy sweetheart, it’s time to wake up.” She stroked at his back with a wing and watched as he slowly started to stir.

He outstretched arms and allowed a soft yawn to escape from his lips. He blinked his eyes open to look up at the smiling princess “Good morning Miss Luna.” He returned the smile with his soft tone and let out another soft yawn.

She gave him tender kiss atop his head “Did you sleep well my dear?” She continued to tenderly stroke at his back with a wing while giving him a motherly smile.

He looked up at her with an expression of nervousness etched on his young face as a single thought ran through his mind. I don’t want to lie to Miss Luna about having a bad dream last night, because she might hurt me for lying like mommy and daddy did. His thoughts were casted aside as he felt her foreleg gently wrap around his shoulders.

Luna noticed this and looked worriedly at the young boy. She rubbed from his shoulder down along his side to try and comfort him “What’s wrong sweetheart, did you have a bad dream?” She nuzzled him on his cheek “You know you can tell me whatever is bothering you Timmy, and I promise I won’t get mad at you.” She gave him a reassuring smile.

He sighed softly and smiled at the caring tone in which she spoke with, knowing that he could tell her of his nightmare. He took in a deep breath and exhaled “Yes Miss Luna, I had a bad dream, and it was so scary. Mister Blueblood was in it and he made you and Miss Celestia yell at me, calling me a little beast, and said that it was a mistake for you to bring me here.” He let out a whimper and shook like a leaf recalling the dream.

Luna frowned deeply at the frightened child and used her foreleg to gently caress him soothingly along his side “Oh you poor dear, I’m so sorry. Shh…. please don’t be afraid Timmy, it was only a dream and nothing else.” She nuzzled at the top of his head and cooed softly “Shh…. I’m here for you dear and I won’t let anything hurt you, I promise.” She stroked gently at his hair with her hoof to try and soothe him some more.

Slowly the boy calmed his shaking and looked up with a little smile sniffling “Yes Ma’am. Thank you Miss Luna.” He spoke softly as he used his little arms to hug at her side. Deep down he knew the princess won’t ever think of him in that manner or bring harm to him.

She gave him a warm smile as he calmed down “That’s better now dear.” She then frowned again as she sighed heavily “Oh Timmy, I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to help prevent your nightmare like the first night I met you. I should’ve been there for you to protect you in your dream. Can you forgive me Timmy?” She nuzzled his cheek comfortably.

He frowned at how bad the princess felt about not being able to prevent his nightmare and was sad that she felt he was mad at him. He hugged at her side again “Of course Miss Luna, I forgive you, but it’s not your fault. Please don’t be sad.” He looked up at her with a soft smile

Such a sweet and kind boy he is to worry about my own feelings more than his own. She kissed his forehead “Thank you dear.” She softly spoke as she gently lifted her wing off him to stretch out both of them. She looked down at him with a warm smile “Timmy, I’m just going to step out for a little bit, but I’ll be back as soon as I can so I can take you to get some breakfast, okay?” She bopped her nose playfully against his.

He giggled and nodded “Yes Ma’am, I’ll be okay by my self.” He felt her carefully unwrap her foreleg and wing from around him as she climbed off the bed.

She stretched all four legs before turning to look at him “Now you just stay here dear, and I shall return for you shortly.” She gave him a wink and trotted out of her bedroom, using her magic to open the bedroom door. She shut the door back quietly and turned to the guard standing by it “Guard, be sure to keep watch over the dear child and make sure nopony tries to enter without notifying me, is that understood?” She gave him a firm glare.

“Yes your highness, I shall guard this door with my life.” He saluted with a hoof while his face was covered with his helmet. With a firm nod Luna trotted down the hall. A low snicker escaped the lips of the armored stallion and a devious grin crept across his muzzle.

Yes my so called Aunt Tia, I’ll make sure that foul beast is safe. But first, I got to make sure I don’t get caught near here so I’m glad I prepared a letter for the little miscreant. The guard pulled out a letter tucked in his suit of armor and slid underneath the door. He reached up a hoof to knock on the door and in a flash he galloped away from the princess’ bed chambers.

Meanwhile Luna arrived at the royal ballroom and looked in awe at the decorations that filled the place. Balloons of a wide variety of colors floated around freely, confetti was strewn all over the tiled floor, and in the middle of the room was a towering three tier cake. It was a strawberry cake with white cream cheese icing and on each tier was written “Welcome Home Timmy!”.

A grin of joy spread across the moon princess’ muzzle as she saw Pinkie standing beside the cake with her party hat on and blowing on a party streamer. She held up her arms gleefully and beamed at the princess “Hihi Princes Luna! So, what do you think? Do you think Little Timmy Wimmy is going to love his “Welcome to Equestria Adoption” party?”

Luna had tears stinging her eyes “Oh my dear friend Pinkie, I think the child is going to be very surprised when he sees this.” Her grin grew, but she looked around to see that nopony else was around. She looked at the pink party pony curiously “Where is everypony else at?”

Pinkie giggled joyfully and hopped up to Luna, placing a foreleg around her neck “Oh, you silly willy, they’ll be coming soon. They wanted to get dressed for the occasion.” She beamed and lets out a squeak “Oh, speaking of dresses, I better go get dressed myself. Be back in a jiff!” She hopped off, bouncing like a rubber ball on her flank.

Luna shook her head and chuckled I don’t know if I’ll ever get a grasp on that pony’s behavior, but she did a wonderful job with the decorations. I just hope Timmy will like it and would like being my son. She smiled proudly and warmly at the fact that the child will be her very own son soon. I better go get him so we can have breakfast.

Back in Luna’s bed chambers, Timmy carefully climbed off the bed and walked over to door after hearing somepony knocking. When he approached he looked down to see a folded up piece of paper on the ground. He bent down and picked it up I wonder who left this. Being curious he carefully unfolded the letter and started to read.

Dear little human,

Do you honestly think that my Aunt Luna and Aunt Celestia, along with those miserable excuses for heroes actually care about you? They may say they love you and want to make sure that you are safe, but the truth of the matter is you foul little beast, it’s all just a facade. All they want to do is lure you into thinking that you are safe, and when you least expect, they plan to treat you the same way your dastardly kind treats us pony kind on your pathetic homeland.

And I guess I will be at least somewhat accepting of you and give you this fair warning. Those six ponies who are known as the Elements of Harmony, well my dear little, naive human, they aren’t what they seem to be. You see you lowly creature, they may appear to be kind and welcoming on the outside, but inside they are cruel, cold-hearted ponies that just want to make others suffer.

If you don’t believe me, when you have the opportunity, meet me outside at the castle’s courtyard and I’ll take you to a friend of mine that have been treated cruelly by the elements. I won’t bring harm to you, I promise child.

Yours truly,

Prince Blueblood

After reading the letter,Timmy felt tears stinging at his eyes and his little body trembled. He heard hoofsteps approaching the door and quickly folded the piece of paper back up, and placed it into the pocket of his pajama pants. He quickly blinked his eyes to prevent Luna from seeing him about to cry as the princess carefully trotted into her bedroom and he put on a soft smile.

“Are you ready to go get some breakfast sweetheart?” She asked him returning the smile and nuzzled the top of his head.

He nodded “Yes Miss Luna, I’m hungry.” He felt his tummy grumble a bit.

Luna let out a little chuckle “It appears so my dear. Come, let’s go find you something good to eat.” She crouched down and helped the little boy onto her back. She turned and trotted out of her bedroom and toward the dining hall.

Although he was happy on the outside, Timmy was torn and broken in a way as he felt his heart shatter.

I’m scared. Miss Luna said she won’t ever be mean to me or let anyone hurt me ever again. I thought she was my friend and the others too. I hope Mister Blueblood is lying, but I’ll go see him after breakfast.

In the courtyard underneath a shady tree out of sight stood Prince Blueblood as he looked up at the castle knowing that the child was with the princess.

I promise Aunt Tia and Aunt Luna, you two and those sorry excuses for element barriers are going to see the foul beast that lives inside that little abomination. I will prove it! A devious grin formed on his muzzle as he stepped further back into the shadows.

Author's Note

Well, it looks like the adoption party is about to get started. :pinkiehappy: But oh no :pinkiegasp: What does Blueblood have in mind now? :twilightoops: and who is this friend who he speaks of in the letter?

Chapter Fourteen

While Princess Luna trotted down the hall toward the ballroom, she couldn’t help but snicker to herself, because she was about to adopt the young human child who touched her heart so profoundly in such a short amount of time. She looked behind to see Timmy sitting, but he looked a little off than usual. He had his head turned to the side and it appeared to her that he was looking off into the distance.

Looking at him worriedly, she stopped trotting and spoke to him softly “Timmy dear, is something the matter?” She carefully reached up with a hoof to rub at his hand on her side.

Timmy was snapped out of his gaze and shook his head softly “Oh, no Miss Luna, I’m okay. I’m still just a little tired.” He gave a reassuring smile, but deep down his heart was broken. He didn’t know what to think at the moment, because he liked Princess Luna and everypony, but that letter struck fear into him.

Luna gave a warm smile “Okay sweetheart, but if there is anything that is on your mind, don’t you be afraid to speak to me, alright?” He gave a soft nod “Good, now Timmy, I would like for you to close your eyes for a little bit, okay?”

“Yes Ma’am.” He closed his eyes as asked I wonder why she wants me to close my eyes. What if she is planning to hurt me or something like Mister Blueblood says in the letter? He tried to keep his mind at ease while he felt her trot along the hallway. He felt her come to an abrupt yet gentle stop.

“Okay Timmy, open your eyes my dear.” A gleeful grin spread across Luna’s muzzle as she turned her head back to the child. He nodded and opened his eyes slowly.

“SURPRISE!” A collected and joyous yell escaped the lips of ballroom’s occupants. Before the princess of the night and the little boy stood the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia, and three new ponies who Timmy haven’t met. They were younger than the others,around his age it appeared or a tad older.

Luna turned toward the child to see his mouth agape with awe and looking at her with a curious look. She gave him a warm smile “Timmy my dear, this celebration is for you and… well, I want to ask you something, and the decision is up to you, okay?” She crouched down to let him climb off her back.

When he did, he looked at her and nodded “Yes Ma’am, what is it?” A light smile mixed with curiosity and wonder crept across his face.

Luna sat back on her haunches and gently laid a foreleg over his shoulders. She pulls him to him and rubbed along his side “Timmy dear, do you remember the night I rescued you from that bad dream where your parents were hurting you?” He looked up at her and quietly nodded “Well, I promised you that I won’t ever let anything bad happen to you ever again, and I meant every word I spoke..” She gazed down at him with tears in her eyes, but with a warm smile on her muzzle.

He looked up at her and frowned when he noticed her about to cry “Miss Luna, what’s wrong? Why are you sad?” He gave her foreleg that she was rubbing his side with a light hug.

The guests stood there quietly as the watched the beautiful moment between the child and the princess of the night.

She let out a sniffle “I’m not sad sweetheart, because if you wouldn’t mind, I would like to become your new mother.” A warm smile spread across her muzzle as she looked down at the little boy.

A joyous smile of his own crept across his face and his own eyes were stinging with tears. “Really Miss Luna, you really do want to be my new mommy?” The question was asked with such hopefulness and joy in his voice that it gripped at Luna’s heart.

She simply pulled him into her warm, soft form and kissed the top of his head “Yes I do sweetheart. You are a very sweet little boy Timmy is is deserving of a loving family and I hope to be that for you, along with everypony else. That is if you would like for me to be your mother.” She looked down at him as she carefully pulled her foreleg away for just a little bit.

He looked up at her with his arms hugging at her side “Yes Miss Luna, I do want you to be my Mommy!” He said happily and laid his head against her soft warm chest.

She leaned down to kiss the top of his head “Well then, may I officially welcome you to your new home my little prince.” She beamed at the fact that she was now a mother as she felt something soft fall over her own back. She turned to see her sister standing beside her “Tia, say hello to your new little nephew.” Both royal sisters gazed down lovingly at the new addition to their family.

“Well Timmy, I would like to officially welcome to your new home of Equestria.” Princess Celestia gave him a warm smile as she levitated a scroll before Luna “To make him truly your son Lulu, all you have to do is sign this scroll.” She levitated a quill beside the scroll.

Luna nodded “Of course my sister.” She gave Celestia a warm smile and used her magic to sign the scroll with the quill. After signing it she rolled it back up and levitated it over to Celestia. She then looked down at her officially adopted son “Now my little prince, let’s go celebrate you becoming my son.” She looked at everypony who had big smiles on their muzzles and they clapped their hooves together.

Timmy looked up at Luna as he hugged at her barrel again “I love you Mommy!” His eyes were stained with tears of pure joy that he finally had someone to love him. However, a thought flowed through his mind I don’t think Mommy and the others want to be mean to me. I think Mister Blueblood is telling me lies. He shook away his thought as he turned to look at the party guests.

“Come Timmy, I would like to introduce to you some new guests that you haven’t met yet..” Luna smiled down at him as she let him gently grab at a foreleg before leading them toward the group. As she approached she looked at the three fillies and baby dragon who came with Elements of Harmony “Children, please introduce yourself to my little prince.” She sat on her haunches and nuzzled the top of Timmy’s head.

First to walk up to the young child was Spike and he gave Timmy a kind smile. However, when the boy saw the dragon he began to shake timidly and Spike could tell why. The baby dragon spoke softly to Timmy “Hey there little guy, there’s no need to be afraid of me, I’m a nice dragon.” He carefully reached out a claw to the child “My name is Spike, it is great to meet you Timmy.” He gave him a warm smile.

Timmy looked up at Luna for reassurance and she gave him a nod “It’s okay sweetheart, Spike is a indeed a very nice baby dragon.” She leaned her head down to kiss his forehead tenderly.

He nodded and looked back at Spike as he reached out his small hand to the drake “Hi Spike, it’s good to meet you too. I’ve never seen a real dragon before.” He couldn’t help but giggle a little bit.

Spike returned the giggle and carefully shook his hand “Well buddy, anytime you want to hang out with me or ask me any questions about what being a dragon is like, just come to me and I’ll tell you all you want to know.” He gave Timmy a wink and the boy giggled and nodded.

Spike walked back over to Twilight while the three fillies trotted up to the child next. All three of them gave him a warm smile “Howdy there little fella! Mah name is Apple Bloom, and Ah’m the sister of Applejack who Ya already met.” The country filly motioned a hoof toward her older sister “It’s great to meet ya Timmy, Ah hope we can be real good friends.” She stepped back.

“Hi there Timmy, my name is Sweetie Belle!” A pearl white coated filly beamed at the boy “And I’m the sister of Rarity!” She motioned toward the fashionista who nodded her head “My, aren’t you just a cutie! I hope you get to come to school with me and the girls, because it will be fun to have somepony new to spend time with.” She gave him a wink and stepped back to join Applebloom.

Last to introduce herself was an orange-coated pegasus filly “Hey there buddy, I’m Scootaloo, and I’m the fastest filly in all of Equestria!” She smirked proudly “Well, the second fastest next to my big sis, Rainbow Dash.” She motioned at the cyan mare who simply smirked “And it’s good to meet you Timmy.” She reached up a hoof to gently ruffle at his head, causing him to blush. She stepped back to join the other two fillies.

“And together we make…” Luna quickly covered Timmy’s ears tenderly with her forehooves “THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” The three fillies shouted in unison and clapped their hooves together.

Luna uncovered her son’s ears and giggled down at him “I just didn’t want that to scare you my little prince.” She nuzzled the top of his head.

He nodded and looked at the three of them “It’s good to meet you too.” He tilted his head back to look up at his new adoptive mother “Mommy, will I be going to school with Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo?” A hopeful smile spread across his face.

“We’ll see my dear. We’ll have to go down to Ponyville and discuss it with the teacher there, Miss Cheerilee about enrolling you in Ponyville Elementary School.” She reached a hoof up to stroke at his head “That will be later though. For now my little prince, how about we enjoy your adoption party?”

He nodded up at her “Yes mommy, that sounds like fun!” He smiled happily as she helped lead him toward the others waiting to begin the celebration.

Pinkie Pie hopped in front of the approaching mother and son “I hope you like strawberry you cute little honey bun!” She blew a streamer and placed a party hat on the child’s head “Welcome to your new home Timmy! Now let’s party!” She yelled as everypony laughed at her giddiness and nodded in agreement. She started the record play that played some upbeat and joyful party music.

Luna smiled down at Timmy “Come my dear, let’s dance!” She giggled and gently grasped his hands in her hooves and slowly started to playfully dance by moving her hind legs back and forth, forward and backward.

Timmy giggled as he followed suit and looked up at her. As he was enjoying his party, he thought to himself I don’t want to, but I’m going to go see Mister Blueblood, because I’m scared that he might try to hurt me if I make him mad.

Outside in the courtyard, Blueblood was anxiously awaiting for the arrival of the child, but his patience was wearing thin. He scuffled his hoof against the pavement Where is that little heathen at? He let out a growl until he heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see the boy walking through the courtyard’s entrance.

When Timmy approached the stallion, he shook nervously and looked up at him “I’m sorry I’m late Mister Blueblood, but I had to wait for my party to end, and for Mommy to give me permission to come outside.”

Mommy?! For Aunt Celestia’s sake, did they really adopt this foul creature? In his mind he was fuming with rage and disapproval of the idea, but he shook his head and gave a fake smile “Ah.. that’s okay my boy. I was just enjoying the shade out here, but anyways are you ready for me to take you to my friend that I spoke of in my letter?”

Timmy swallowed nervously, but nodded “Yes Mister Blueblood, but where is your friend at?” He looked up at Blueblood curiously.

The stallion chuckled “Oh don’t worry child, she just lives outside of the kingdom in Whitetail Woods.” A look of fear soon appeared on Timmy’s face, but Blueblood lightly patted him on the shoulder “Aha… don’t worry dear child, these woods aren’t dangerous like the ones I left you that night, and for that I want to apologize for what I done. I hope you can forgive me Timmy.” He gave a pouty, pleading face.

Timmy looked up him and just nodded without saying a word.

For an intelligent species, this mere child sure is gullible. This might be easier than I thought. A sly grin crept across his muzzle “Good, now just hold onto my foreleg little one, because I’m going to have to use my transportation spell for us to get to the woods.” The little boy nodded and gently hugged at Blueblood’s foreleg.

Eeh… Note to self, remind me why I’m going through this plan of mine. He shooks his thoughts away and looked down at the child “Hold on now Timmy.” He closed his eyes and concentrated. In a flash they vanished from the castle courtyard and appeared in the Whitetail Woods. Blueblood looked down at the boy “We’re here now little one.”

Timmy unwrapped his arms from around the stallion’s foreleg and looked up, and around the forest. He noticed that there was a lot more light showering the woods and it wasn’t dark like the Everfree Forest. He looked up at Blueblood with a soft smile “Oh, it’s very pretty here Mister Blueblood.”

Blueblood simply nodded “Yes, yes, it certainly is, isn’t it?” He turned his head with a sneer “Anyway, my friend is right in there.” He motioned a hoof toward a small caravan. He started to trot toward with the child following behind “I hope she’s awake. We wouldn’t want to be rude gentlemen, would we?” He smirked as he knocked at the door of the caravan.

Soon the door would open with a light blue aura around it “Who dares disturb The Great and Power… Oh, well hello Prince Blueblood.” The mare who answered the door gave the stallion a warm smile.

He smirked proudly “Good morning Madam Trixie.”

:pinkiegasp: Oh no, it looks like Blueblood has insisted the help of Trixie to help in his dastardly pain.

Chapter Fifteen

Princess Luna gave a warm smile to the Elements of Harmony as she bid them farewell after the adoption party “Goodbye my friends and thank you again for making this such a wonderful event for my little prince. I’m truly proud to know that Timmy now has a family who cares for him, and I’m very happy to be his new mom.” A beaming smile crept across her muzzle.

“Ah sure am happy for ya princess.” Applejack tipped her hat “And anytime ya want to bring the little feller by Sweet Apple Acres for us to watch him if ya become busy with your royal duties, we would be more than happy to have him spend time on the farm.” Applebloom simply nodded in agreement.

“That goes for all of us Princess Luna.” Twilight took a step forward “We all would be proud to…”

“Your majesty, we have some troubling news.” Two guards came galloping up to the group “We searched all over the castle for your son your highness, but we couldn’t find any trace of him.” They bowed their heads, but had looks of sadness on their muzzles.

A collective gasp was heard by everypony and a look of panic etched on Luna’s face “WHAT?!” Her voice echoed throughout the castle “Oh no, where could my little prince be?” A heavy frown formed on her muzzle as she glared at the two guards “Guards, did you see anything that could lead to him being gone?”

They lifted their heads and gave a firm nod “We did find this piece of parchment outside in the courtyard.” One of the them levitated the note over to Luna.

She began reading the note and when she was done, she placed a hoof against her muzzle, letting out a gasp. The other looked at her with concern “Princess Luna, what happened?” Twilight trotted up to her with a frown.

Luna’s lips suddenly formed into a scowl “Blueblood!” She growled “He took Timmy and taking him to see his ‘friend’.” She turned toward the others “Please forgive me my friends for burdening you, but could you help me find my son?”

“Of course sugarcube.” Applejack gave a warm smile, but it suddenly grew into anger “That low darn varmint won’t get away from us, Ah promise.” She stomped her hoof proudly and tipped her hat.

“Wait darling, what are we going to do about the young ones?” Rarity motioned toward the three fillies who let out a collective grunt.

“Rarity, why can’t we go with you all and help find the little cutie?” Sweetie Belle gave a pleading glare to her sister along with the other two crusaders.

“No dear sister, that is out of the question. There is no telling what that brute of a stallion would do to other young ones like yourselves.” Rarity patted her on the head with a hoof.

“Um… I’ll watch after them while you’re all gone.” Fluttershy lifted a hoof up “Um… I think it would be best if I stayed behind… but make sure you give Blueblood a good flank whooping for me.” She gave a little giggle and blushed.

Rainbow Dash trotted to her side and patted her on the back “Don’t worry Flutters, we’ll make sure that jerk will get a well deserve beatdown. Especially one by yours truly.” She pointed a hoof at herself and smirked.

Pinkie beamed, but quickly snarled “That mean meanie pants is going to feel the BOOM!” Out of nowhere she pulled out her party cannon and shot it off “Courtesy of Pinkie “Lieutenant” Pie!” She randomly placed a camouflaged helmet on her head.

The others just looked at her with confusion mixed with light-hearted smiles. Twilight turned toward Luna “Princess, I think it would be best if we split up and searched over different parts of Canterlot, and areas outside of the kingdom.” She looked at the others with nods of agreement.

“I concur with you Twilight, and thank you all again for your help.” Luna smiled warmly “Now let’s go get back my son from that sorry excuse for a nephew of mine.” Her brows furrowed with determination. The others nodded as they trotted out of the main hall into the daylight. Fluttershy along with the fillies waved a hoof to them.

As they got further away from the castle, Twilight turned to the girls “Alright girls, listen. Applejack, you and Pinkie Pie go to the Everfree Forest to look and see if Blueblood might have taken him back there again.” The two nodded and galloped off.

“I shall accompany you darling.” Rarity nodded at Twilight “And I think we should go talk with the ponies here and see if they might have seen any trace of Blueblood with the precious little darling.”

“That’s a good idea Rarity, I think asking around could really help us, at least with a trace on them.” Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash “And Rainbow..”

“Don’t worry Twilight, Rainbow and I will take to the skies. An aerial view will be very strategic.” Luna looked at the cyan pegasus who nodded and gave a salute as she hovered up in the air.

“Ready when you are princess.” Rainbow gave a firm nod.

Luna looked at the two unicorn mares “You two just let me know if you receive any information.” Twilight and Rarity nodded. Luna hovered up beside Rainbow Dash “Alright loyal Rainbow Dash, let’s fly.” With a firm nod from Rainbow, the two began their search.

Just please be okay my little prince.

Back in the Whitetail Woods, Trixie descended from her caravan to greet the former prince and the young child who stood beside him. She gave Blueblood a nod “Well, well, well, Trixie is very shocked to see you Sir Blueblood. Especially what I’ve read about you in the Equestrian Daily.” She levitated a copy of the newspaper in front of the stallion’s face.

Blueblood grimaced at a photo of him on the front page and turned to Timmy “Uh… dear child, won’t you be so kind to maybe walk over to the stream for a little bit. I’ve got to talk to Madam Trixie for a bit.” He gave a fake smile to the boy and he just nodded, and walked over to the stream.

Trixie couldn’t help but give a warm smile at Timmy as he walked away “Well he is a rather adorable little boy if Trixie may say so.” She blushed and giggled, but when she turned her attention back to Blueblood he had a scowl on his muzzle “Oops, Trixie guesses that was the wrong thing to say?” She let out a nervous chuckle.

The former prince rubbed at his forehead with a hoof “Well, that adorable little boy as you so like to call him is a menace to the society of pony kind, but my Aunt Tia and Aunt Luna thinks otherwise. In fact that thick-headed night princess of an aunt adopted him as her son.” He sneered at the thought.

“If Trixie may speak Sir Blueblood, Trixie believes you are just being a little bit paranoid, are you not? Trixie means the little one looks like he couldn’t harm a fly.” She turned back and smiled softly at the child.

“PARANOID?! Not you too Madam Trixie, not the one who was publicly humiliated by those so called do gooders of our homeland, the Elements of Harmony. C’mon, don’t you remember what that Twilight Sparkle done to you the last two times. I may have been busy dealing with much more sophisticated matters at the time, but word went around in Canterlot in how her and the other elements embarrassed you.” He gave a smirk, trying to strike a chord in Trixie.

She closed her eyes and furrowed her brows in frustration at the memory “Yes, yes, how could Trixie ever forget those incidents. They were truly humiliating, but Trixie has moved on and allowed the past to be past. After the second time Trixie visited Ponyville, I have made peace with Twilight Sparkle and the others.” She smiled proudly.

Blueblood gasped “WHAT?! Certainly Madam Trixie, you’d like to get some sort of revenge on them for embarrassing you, wouldn’t you?” He started to trot slowly around her “Remember, the ursa minor incident and how Twilight Sparkle outdid you in getting rid of it.” He smirked as he could see a little aggravation starting to form on her face “Oh, and how can anypony forget the alicorn amulet incident in which you were outwitted by that purple brainiac and her goody two shoe friends. They made you look pathetic.”

Trixies brows furrowed once again with frustration and she stomped her hoof as she glared at Blueblood. She used her magic to envelope him in her light blue aura “Enough!” She shouted as she levitated the stallion up in the air “Trixie demands that you explain to me why you are doing here and why are you bringing up such past transgressions that I have let go of.” She let go of her hold on him, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

As he slowly stood up, he shook himself off and a smirk grew on his muzzle Yes, I think I’m getting to her. Now it’s time to reel her in. He cleared his throat “Well Madam Trixie, I deeply apologize for bringing up such tragic memories for you, but I believe with the help of our little friend, we both can get what we want. For me, it will be the satisfaction in knowing that my aunts will truly see what dangerous creature he really is and realize that I was right the whole time. And once again I gain back my position as prince.” He ginned slyly.

Trixie nodded “Well, you do drive a very interesting bargain Sir Blueblood, but what does Trixie receive if I choose to go along with your plan?” She quirked an eyebrow and looked at the stallion curiously.

The grin on Blueblood’s muzzle grew even more “Well my dear, you’ll finally get revenge on those six so called heroes and also achieve the respect and admiration from ponies all over Equestria that you so richly deserve.” He placed a hoof on her shoulder “And I know exactly how you can achieve all that, because I know my Aunt Celestia has something that Twilight Sparkle gave to that commoner of a zebra Zecora, but the lowly peasant decided to hand it over to Aunt Celestia for safekeeping.”

Trixie gasped as she looked at him “You don’t mean…” Blueblood simply nodded and she couldn’t help but grin “Trixie must admit, I do find this plan rather captivating my good Sir. And I’ve wanted to get my hooves on the alicorn amulet ever since Twilight stripped it away from me.” She turned her attention back to the boy who was sitting down in the soft grass by the stream “However, Trixie must ask, what does the child have in all this?”

A lowly chuckle escaped the stallion’s lips “That my lovely mare is the most beautiful part of my plan. For me to finally show my aunts and everypony that the little miscreant is a threat to pony society, I’m going to persuade the little one in retrieving the amulet from my aunt’s chambers. Let’s say once they find out he took it, it will be an act of treason on his part.” He chuckled even more.

“Well, that… that is such a devious plan indeed Sir Blueblood. Trixie has to admit, I might take you up on your offer, but it’s going to take time for Trixie to decide. Do you mind?” She looked at him with an equally sly grin.

He simply nodded “Oh of course, of course Madam Trixie. All plans must have patient timing in order for them to be a success. For now, I believe we should make ourselves unknown, because we don’t want to be discovered.” He looked around the forest and in the sky.

“And how do you propose we should do that my dear Sir?” Trixie eyed him curiously.

He scoffed “Pish posh Madam Trixie, since I don’t have that band around my horn preventing me to do magic, I can simply cast an invisibility spell on your caravan and we can all stay inside until tomorrow.”

“Alright, Trixie will agree to this. However, what should happen if the child becomes suspicious and figures out that we are planning something?” She looked back at the child and without Blueblood seeing her, she frowned a bit.

“Leave that to me my dear. The little brat is too naive and gullible anyway to resist the temptation of persuasion.” Blueblood grinned evilly “I shall go get him and we shall take shelter for now.” He gave Trixie a firm nod and trotted over to the child.

As she looked on, Trixie looked down at the ground and released a heavy sigh. She kicked some dirt with her hoof and lifted her head back up to look at the two with determination, closing her eyes to think.

Even though I could definitely possess the alicorn amulet again and once again show off my great power, I can’t stand here to allow a callous stallion such as Blueblood to do this to such a cute little boy. No, Trixie must do something, and must do it soon before something terrible happens.

Author's Note

:pinkiegasp: Well, Trixie sounds like she will do good, but the temptation of having possession of the alicorn amulet again does sound very interesting. :trixieshiftright:

Chapter Sixteen

As Princess Celestia’s sun was slowly descending into the horizon, Luna frantically searched from above for her missing son. Alongside her was Rainbow Dash who looked over at her from time to time to see the expression of anguish on the princess’ face. The cyan pegasus sighed heavily at the sight as she felt worried for the princess and for Timmy.

“Princess, do you think we should go check with the others to see if they found anything yet? It looks like we aren’t getting anywhere from up here.” She gave Luna a sympathetic smile “Maybe the girls found some information on where that jerk of a former prince could have went and took the little guy.”

With a heavy sigh escaping her lips, Luna nodded “I believe you’re right Rainbow, we should go meet up with our friends. Maybe they found a trace of my little prince’s whereabouts or at least the lowly nephew of mine.” A growl escaped her lips as she spoke of the former prince. She turned to Rainbow “Let’s turn around my friend and go find the others.” With a firm nod Rainbow turned around with Luna and the two headed back to Canterlot Castle.

Trotting along the streets of Canterlot City, Twilight and Rarity were heading back toward the castle “Twilight darling, we’ve been trotting around the entire kingdom and nopony knows anything about that ruffian’s whereabouts and where he could have take the poor little dear. Do you believe we should… huh, Twilight?” She paused herself as she saw Twilight just stop trotting and it looked like she was staring into space.

Rarity’s voice seemed distant as Twilight was in deep thought “Yoohoo, Twilight! Darling, are you okay?” The white unicorn looked concerned for her friend and trotted up to her. She placed a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder and lightly shook her “Twilight?!”

Suddenly Twilight shook head clear of the thoughts running through her mind “Oh Rarity, I’m sorry, I must have been drifted off in thought.” She gave a blushing smile and rubbed at the back of her head.

“That’s quite alright darling, but what were you thinking about? It looked like you seen a ghost or something, and it worried me deeply to see you like that.” Rarity gave her a look of concern and a little frown.

With a heavy sigh Twilight looked at Rarity with a look of worry “Well, after Princess Luna read that letter left by Blueblood, I thought about his ‘friend’ who he spoke of us treating cruelly.” She turned her head to the side to look at some ponies who were enjoying an evening stroll through Canterlot.

“‘But Twilight, we haven’t ever treated anypony cruelly!” A scowl crept across the fashionista’s muzzle “That dastardly brute just wanted to lure the poor little darling into his hooves so he could snatch Timmy up. Yet, I too wonder who he could be speaking of taking the dear child to.” She placed a hoof on her chin in a thinking manner.

“I know Rarity, it’s just…. AH!” Twilight’s sudden burst caused Rarity to gasp and grab at her chest in shock and surprise.

“Goodness gracious dear, what was that all about?” Rarity inhaled and exhaled heavily as she felt her heart about to burst out of her chest due to being startled.“

Twilight gave her a serious glare “Rarity, I think I know who Blueblood could have went to see, but we got to meet up with the others. I just hope I’m wrong. Let’s go!” Rarity gave a firm nod and both mares galloped off to find their friends.

Once they were all together, they all met in the throne room minus Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. As they were gathered in a circle Applejack looked at Twilight with a quirked eyebrow “So sugarcube, who do ya think that rotten varmint took the little feller to see?”

Twilight looked at her friends with worry “Girls, Princess Luna, I believe that Blueblood took Timmy with him to see… Trixie.” She let out a heavy sigh.

“TRIXIE?!” Everypony gasped and looked from one another with shocked expressions.

Luna looked at her curiously “My dear Twilight, what would make you think it could be Trixie that my despicable nephew had taken my little prince to see?”

“Yeah, I thought we totally helped her change her ways last time she was in Ponyville.” Rainbow hovered in the air “You ought to think us outsmarting her to retrieve that alicorn amulet she would have thought twice about being evil.”

“Listen girls, I believe Trixie won’t harm Timmy, because she was sincere in turning over a new leaf. However, I think we should all go look to see where they could be hiding at and just hope that she hasn’t thought about joining sides with Blueblood.” Twilight eyed her friends with determination “I believe the first place we should check is one of the forest areas of Equestria. If I know Trixie, she might be traveling in search for a new place to perform her magic show.”

“Well my friends, let’s go get my son back!” Luna gave a smirk to the group and they replied with a firm nod “However, when we do find my little prince, you all get him to safety while I deal with Blueblood.” They gave another firm nod before everypony exited the throne room.

Don't worry my little prince, Momma's coming.{/I]

“Behold the Great and Almighty Trixie you miserable peasants!” Trixie smirked mischieviously as she lit up the alicorn amulet around her neck “Now bow down to Trixie you miserable excuses for heroes!” With a cackle she used her now reddened aura to force the Elements of Harmony to bow.

“Trixie, please stop doing this!” Twilight begged with a whimper as she tried to stand up, but Trixie’s magical hold was too strong “You’re under the influence of Blueblood, you’ve got….gah!” She was forcibly choked by Trixie’s magic.

“Silence you pathetic worm!” A scowl of anger spread across her muzzle “For that act of disobedience Twilight Sparkle, Trixie shall send you to the dungeon.” With a smirk she used her magic to make the purple unicorn to vanish in a flash.

“What is the meaning of this foul act?” Princess Luna trotted into the throne room with her son on her back, but immediately she was grabbed in the red aura and lifted into the air “I command you to let us go!” She stared angrily at Trixie until she heard a cry.

“MOMMA HELP!” Timmy was lifted off her back and slowly brought toward the powerful unicorn. He flailed helplessly in the magical grip until he was deposited at the hooves of Trixie.

She looked down at the child with a mischievous grin “Well hello little one, why don’t you make yourself comfortable and watch the once powerful Princess Luna, or your precious mommy bow down to the True, Great, and Almighty Ruler of Equestria, Trixie!” With a cackle, she stood up on her hind legs, held up her forelegs, and concentrated all her attention to the alicorn amulet. Her grin grew wider as she made the princess of the night easily bow down to her.

“MOMMA, NO!” Timmy cried out as he reached out for her. “P-please Momma, get up!” Tears started to stream from the child’s eyes down his cheeks as he saw his mother helpless.

Luna grunted as she tried to stand up, but was unable to. She lifted her head a bit to see her son crying and tried to speak to him soothingly “Shh… my little prince, please don’t cry. Momma’s okay, I promise, please don’t cry sweetheart.” She gave a reassuring smile, yet she grunted in pain as the aura was too strong to overcome.

Timmy shook with sobs and turned around to look up at Trixie “Y-you Monster! Leave my Momma and friends alone!” He started to beat on a foreleg of hers, but barely phasing her.

She glared down at him with a smirk and simply chuckled “Oh you poor, pitiful, little foul creature. Don’t you see, the Great and Almighty Trixie has won and there’s nothing you or your precious momma can do about it!” She cackled in triumph.

A grin crept across Trixie’s face as she was dreaming when of a sudden she was awoken by a tug on her foreleg. She blinked her eyes open and let out a yawn to look down and see Timmy gently tugging at her hoof. She blinked again and looked at him with confusion “What’s wrong little one, how come have you disturbed Trixie during my peaceful slumber?” She felt frustrated, but that all went away when she saw tears forming in the child’s eyes.

“Miss Trixie, I miss my Momma. Could you please take me back home? I want my Momma.” He held at her hoof between his little hands and looked up at her with a frown.

The Alicorn Amulet might bring Trixie great power and control over the Elements of Harmony, but what would Trixie really achieve if I break the heart of this poor child. She looked from the begging child to the sleeping stallion on the other side of the caravan. Her brows furrowed with determination Blueblood, you do indeed drive a hard bargain, but Trixie must think straight, and I must choose not to hurt this innocent little one by involving him in one of your dastardly plans.

She looked back down at Timmy and gave him a soft nod “Yes little one, I’ll take you back to your momma, but you’ve got to stay real quiet. I’ve got a plan to keep Sir Blueblood occupied until your momma and friends can do something about him.” Timmy silently nod with a smile of relief on his face.

Trixie very quietly climbed out of her cot and used her magic to slowly levitate two thick, long pieces of rope over to Blueblood. With great patience and concentration she used the ropes to tie up both of his forelegs and hind legs. She looked down at Timmy with a smirk and leaned down to whisper in his ear “Now just climb onto my back dear and we shall go look for your momma.” She gave him a soft smile and leaned forward on her forelegs for him to climb up on her back.

She stood up and quietly trotted out of the caravan. She shut the door and locked it “Now let’s go find your family dear.” She looked back at Timmy and nuzzled at his cheek before trotting away from her caravan and out of the Whitetail Woods in search of the child’s family.

A smile crept across her muzzle, a smile of satisfaction The Great and Powerful Trixie feels good about this decision.

Chapter Seventeen

Night fell upon the land as Princess Luna looked up at the star-filled sky and slowly began to raise her moon. Joined by her friends, they decided to begin their search of Equestria’s forests in the area of the Whitetail Woods. As she looked up at her moon, a single tear rolled down Luna’s cheek as she was deeply concerned for her little prince.

Twilight noticed this along with the others and placed a hoof on her shoulder “Don’t worry princess, we’ll find Timmy and bring Blueblood to justice once and for all.” She gave Luna a reassuring smile while others gave a nod.

“Twi’s right sugarcube. Ah for one can’t wait to get my trusty lasso tied around that no good varmint and teach him a lesson or two.” Applejack curved her lips in a scowl.

“That’s right!” Rainbow Dash hovered in the air and threw a foreleg in the air “That jerk will pay for taking the little guy again, but this time he will pay for good!” She smirked proudly.

“I honestly can’t understand what I saw in that pathetic excuse for a stallion.” Rarity huffed and fluffed up her mane “And to be so cruel to such a precious little darling such as Timmy, I would love to give him a thrashing of a lifetime!” A grin of sly mischievousness crept across her muzzle.

Pinkie Pie randomly pulled out her party cannon “And I’m ready to blast that mean meanie pants away so he won’t touch a cute little hair on the sweet little cupcake ever again!”

“You see princess, you have all of us with you and Timmy will be rescued.” Twilight rubbed at Luna’s shoulder.

Luna released a sigh of softness and sniffled, giving each of the girls a warm smile “Thank you my dear friends. I trust in all of you and I know that we’ll find my little prince. And for that lowly nephew of mine, his punishment will be severe for abducting my son once again.” She took in a deep breath to calm herself and exhaled “Now let’s go find my boy!” With a firm nod, the girls followed Luna s they entered into the forest.

Deep within the Whitetail Woods, Trixie lit up the path she was trotting along with her magic. She turned toward the little boy on her back “Are you okay back there little one? You aren’t cold or scared are you?” She gave Timmy a soft smile and nuzzled at his cheek.

He shook his head and replied softly “No Miss Trixie, but thank you for taking me back to my momma. Are you sure Mister Blueblood won’t come after us though?” He had a look of nervousness on his face.

“Ha… my dear child, the Great and Powerful Trixie can promise you that Sir Blueblood won’t know how escape from those bindings, because I tied his hooves up in knots that are impossible to escape.” She couldn’t help but laugh at her success in restraining the former prince “And also, Trixie always knew having a magic restraint band would come in handy for some reason.” She gave a blushing smile to the child.

He let out a small giggle and reached out to giver her a hug around her neck. This surprised Trixie, but she couldn’t help but smile warmly at the gesture. She reached up to pat at the hands around her neck Aw… such a sweet little child to hug Trixie. Maybe when we find his mother, Trixie will ask if I can be like his foalsitter. Trixie wouldn’t mind being this little one’s caretaker when the princess is busy with her royal duties. That is if she and the other will allow Trixie to do so.

As they ventured further into the woods, Princess Luna and the others could see a faint, light blue glow up ahead of them. Twilight squinched her eyes to get a better view and once she did, she gasped “Girls, princess, if I’m not mistaking that is the color of Trixie’s magic.” She gives a concentrated stare at the approaching light.

The others squinched their eyes to focus as well as Luna started to trot ahead “Come my friends, let’s see if Twilight’s assumption is correct.” They followed behind the princess as her, Twilight, and Rarity lit up their horns as well.

Trixie could see the three faint glowing lights up ahead approaching her “Hmm.. Trixie thinks we found some others out here little one.” She turned to look at him with a soft smile “Let’s go see if they can help us get out of these woods, what do you say?’ He simply responded with a nod.

When the four sets of glowing auras closed in on each other, Twilight could definitely tell that it was Trixie and riding on her back was Timmy. Once Timmy saw the taller of the three, he beamed with happiness “MOMMA!” He cried out and Trixie stopped trotting. With a smile on her face, she leaned down to let climb off her back.

Luna gasped at the excited cry of the little boy and smiled brightly “My little prince!” She galloped ahead and as soon as he was in close distance of her, she scooped him up in her forelegs, and pulled him into a big, warm hug. She nuzzled at his cheeks and forehead “Oh Timmy, I was so worried about you!” She allowed a few tears to roll down her cheeks.

He started to cry himself as he wrapped his arms around her neck “I missed you Momma! I was so scared I won’t see you again!” He buried his face into her shoulder and sobbed softly.

Luna gently rubbed up and down his back with a hoof “Shh… it’s okay my little prince, Momma’s here now and I won’t let that foul nephew of mine harm you ever again, I promise.” She laid her head close to his and nuzzled him with her cheek.

Trixie watched on at the reunion between mother and son with a warm smile along with the others. Twilight noticed this and trotted over to her “Trixie. it’s been a long time.” She rubbed at the back of her neck awkwardly.

“Yes it has Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Sparkle’s friends.” She looked at the others who gave a nod to her “Trixie just has been traveling through Whitetail Woods when I ran into the little one and… may Trixie say the distasteful stallion formerly known as Prince Blueblood.” She groaned at the thought of him.

“Well sugarcube, where is the low down good for nothing scoundrel at? It’s high time that he pays for his crime.” Applejack sneered and her brows arched in frustration.

“Do not fret Honest Applejack, Trixie has the varmint as you called him nice and snugged inside my caravan. Trixie made sure he is unable to escape.” A smirk of pride crept across her muzzle.

“Darling, although I may not agree with your tactics as those actions performed against us the last two times, I got to admit the brute certainly deserves it.” Rarity let out a huff.

Luna hugged Timmy for a little bit more before releasing him from her embrace. She looked down at him “Dear, you stay with Twilight and the others while Momma goes to take care of some business, okay?” She kissed his forehead.

He looked up at her and nodded “Okay Momma, just be careful. Don’t let Mister Blueblood hurt you.” He gave a worried smile as he walked over to join the others.

Luna nodded firmly “Don’t worry my little prince, your momma will be fine.” She gave him a wink “Oh Timmy, you might want to close your ears.” He nodded and placed his hands over his ears as she cleared her throat “Guards of the night!” The echo of the royal canterlot voice rang throughout the forest. Soon there were two bat pony guards that flew down to the ground carrying a carriage behind them.

As soon as they landed safely on the ground they bowed their heads “Yes your highness?” They spoke collectively.

She gave them I nod “I need you two to follow me.” They nodded, but she turned to Trixie “Dear Trixie, would you be so kind to lead the way toward where you have my nephew hidden?”

The show mare nodded “Of course your highness.” She gave a warm smile before trotting ahead, followed by Luna and her guards.

Inside the caravan, Blueblood was starting to stir in his sleep, but found that he couldn’t move either his forelegs nor hindlegs. His eyes shot open and he then felt something in his mouth “Mmmph!” He struggled in his bindings only to just wriggle like a fish out of water.

He kept wriggling until he fell off the cot he was sleeping on and landing on the wooden floor with a thud “Mph!” He snarled with the gag in his mouth and tried to light his horn up, but couldn’t feel any magic flowing through him. He lifted his eyes to look up at his horn, only to find a magic restraining band around his horn and he simply grunted.

Suddenly the door to the caravan opened with the dark blue aura of Luna enveloping it. The princess peered into see the former prince on the floor wiggling around helplessly and couldn’t help but let out a laugh. A look of dread suddenly spread across Blueblood’s face as he felt himself being lifted in Luna’s magic.

The princess arched her brows in anger “Blueblood, Tia and I gave you the opportunity to change your ways by trying to give you a second chance at a new life. Yes we stripped you of your royalty, but you could’ve lived peacefully as a citizen of Canterlot, but I see that you’ve chosen to continue your rotten ways.” She shook her head disapprovingly as she undid the gag in his mouth.

He panted heavily as he looked at her “Listen Aunt Luna, I’m sorry… I’ll change… I…”

“ENOUGH!” Boomed Luna’s royal canterlot voice as she stomped her hoof forcefully to the ground. Her lips pursed with anger “Blueblood, for your continuation of trying to hurt not only my sister, myself, but especially my son, I hereby sentence you to time in the dungeons that are below Canterlot Castle.”

Blueblood shook nervously at the judgment and asked with a nervous swallow “Dungeon?! But for how long Aunt Luna?” He gave a nervous smile.

Luna smirked “For as long I feel you deserve my poor excuse for a nephew.” She levitated the tied up stallion into the carriage and looked at her guards “Guards, take him to the castle and make sure you lock the dungeon doors nice and tight.” She gave them a firm nod.

They returned the nod “Yes your highness.” They flapped their wings and flew off into the night sky with Blueblood continuing to wiggle helplessly in the carriage.

As Luna returned to her son and the others, she saw that Trixie was entertaining them with some of her magic tricks. A warm smile crept across her muzzle at the sight “And that little one is how the Great and Powerful Trixie is able to turn a cup of regular water into fruit punch. Enjoy child.” Trixie giggled and levitated a small metal cup over to Timmy for him to drink.

Timmy clapped his hands together as he grabbed at the cup and drank at it “Mm… Miss Trixie it really does taste like punch, thank you!” He beamed happily as he drank at it. The others just smiled warmly at the child.

“Well, well, well, it looks like my little prince is enjoying himself.” Luna trotted up and stroked his head gently with a hoof.

He looked up at her with a big smile as he drank at his punch “Momma, are you okay? Mister Blueblood didn’t hurt you, did he?”

She shook her head “Of course not dear. In fact I can assure you that he won’t be messing with you anymore.” She gave him a kiss his forehead and looked at the others “Now let’s go home shall we?” The others nodded and she turned to look at Trixie “Dear Trixie, if a princess may ask, how would you feel about living at the castle? I’m sure my little prince would love to you have you as his royal foalsitter.” She smiled down at her son.

Trixie gasped lightly “You mean you wouldn’t mind Trixie living with you your highness?” Luna softly shook her head “Well, Trixie would be more than honored to be the little one’s foalsitter.” She smiled warmly and then ruffled at the child’s hair “Would you be okay with that Timmy?”

Timmy looked at both mares happily “Oh Momma I would like that. Miss Trixie is a fun foalsitter!” He beamed as he hugged at Trixie’s foreleg and she returned the hug.

“Hey, what about us?!” Rainbow threw her forelegs up in the air but she was nudged by Applejack.

“Simmer down sugarcube, Ah;m sure he thinks we are fun, just let the little feller enjoy a new pony in his life.” She chuckled.

Rainbow shrugged “I guess you’re right.” The others shared a laugh as they began trotting away from the Whitetail Woods.

Luna leaned down to let Timmy climb onto her back “Let’s go home my little prince.” She smiled at him and nuzzled at his cheek “Momma loves you Timmy!”

He wrapped his little arms around her neck and laid his head on the back of her shoulder “I love you too Momma!” Luna smiled as she trotted with the other back toward Canterlot.

Now maybe my little prince and I can start having a life together without my dastardly nephew’s interference. First, I got to see about him enrolling him in school so he can have a good education.

I want to apologize to you all for the long delay, but also do not worry, it's not over yet. :raritywink:

Chapter Eighteen

I should have planned my latest idea more thoroughly instead of seeking the help of that good for nothing traitor of a show mare. She’d rather help the likes of that little abomination and become friends with those pathetic Elements of Harmony instead of earning true power. She could have ruled over this land by my side, but no, she wanted to play hero and now she is living in my home of Canterlot.

Pacing back and forth in the confines of the deep, damp, and dark caverns underneath Canterlot Castle, Blueblood scuffed his hooves roughly against the cave’s floor. A scowl of disappointment etched across his muzzle as he felt something fall upon his head and he looked up to see droplets of water dripping from stalactites up above. He grunted heavily Great, getting wet from this filthy water in this cave. How much worse can this get? He kicked at the ground with anger.

“Well good morning Bluey, are you enjoying your new fine living establishment?” The unmistaken voice of Discord rang through caverns causing Blueblood to gasp.

“Oh, no, not you, you blithering fool of a goat!” He rolled his eyes as he searched around the cave for the chaos making draconequus “Where are you at?”

In a flash Discord appeared with a sly grin on his face while he held a glass of lemonade in his talon. He sipped at it through a red and white striped straw “Here I am Bluey, and you are just a slight bit correct that I’m a goat” He let out a giggle “I’m also part lion, part eagle, part dragon, part bat, part..”

“ENOUGH! I get it you imbecile!” The former prince rubbed between his eyes with a hoof and looked at him with a disgruntled expression “What in the bloody Tartarus are you even doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be running errands like a good lap dog for my Aunt Celestia?” He smirked slyly at the insult he gave the Master of Chaos.

“Now, is that anyway to talk to a friend?” Discord gave him a pouty face, but then grinned slyly letting out a laugh “I just wanted to come and keep you some company.” He wrapped his arm around the stallion’s shoulders “So Bluey, how about you say we sing a song?” He wiggled his brows.

Blueblood shoved the draconequus’ arm off “No bloody chance you idiot! And the name is Blueblood, not Bluey!” He snorted and looked at Discord with pure disgust. Suddenly his ears twitched uncomfortably as Discord started to hum “Oh, no, you aren’t!”

Discord nodded “Mmhmm... “ He grinned big as he started to sing “99 glasses of chocolate milk on the wall, 99 glasses of chocolate milk. Take one down, pass it around, you now have 98 glasses of chocolate milk on the wall.” He wrapped his arm back around Blueblood’s shoulders and started to sway back and forth “98 glasses of chocolate milk on the wall, 98 glasses of chocolate. Take one down, pass them around, now you have 97 glasses of chocolate on the wall.” He chuckled as he sang.

“Stop, Stop, Stop! Somepony help me!” Blueblood screamed as he held his hooves up to his ears to try and block at the singing of Discord.

The guards on the outside at the entrance shared a laugh “Sounds like they’re having fun, doesn’t it.” One guard spoke to the other who nodded in agreement “Sure does. I think they’ll make great dungeon buddies although we know Discord didn’t do any wrong doing, but just wants to keep old blue eyes some company.” The two chuckled some more as they could hear the singing continue and grow louder.

Outside of the dungeons in the city, the two guards who assisted in the first kidnapping of Timmy were doing hard labor in the form of community service. Ordered by the royal sisters, they were forced to clean up the streets of Canterlot by picking up trash. Not only that, but they were stripped of their duties as guards of the castle.

“Ugh… this is all that rotten prince’s fault. If we didn’t go along with that poorly mapped out plan of his, we would still have our jobs. Don’t you agree Grey Heart?” The guard spoke to his buddy while picking up an empty candy wrapper and placing it in the trash bag he had on his back.

“Just shut up Golden Shield!” Grey Heart just rolled his eyes and picked up an empty bottle on the ground “Why is there so much trash around here? Isn’t this supposed to be a city of beauty and royalty?!” He sighed heavily.

I hope Blueblood is suffering as much… No, I hope he is suffering worse than we are.

I apologize for a shorter chapter than usual for this story, but I wanted to give you all a look at the punishments that each Blueblood and the guards are experiencing for their crimes. :twilightsmile:

Chapter Twenty

The day at Ponyville Elementary seemed to go by at a snail’s pace to most of the students in Miss Cheerilee’s class who wore bored to death, but for Timmy, he was excited to learn. Due to the constant verbal and mental abuse he endured from his parents back on Earth, he never really had the opportunity to experience an education. Not only did they keep from going to school to learn new things, but he was also afraid to go, because he didn’t want the other kids to bully him about having abusive parents.

Soon the bell for lunch would ring as Miss Cheerilee smiled warmly at her class “Alright kids, you all enjoy lunch and when you return, we shall work in this word problem I have written.” She pointed at the chalkboard, earning a collective groan from the students.

“Yes Miss Cheerilee!” They all said in unison as they got up from their desks and started to trot out of the classroom.

Timmy collected his notebook and pencil, placed them in his saddle bag that Rarity made for him for school, and got up from his desk. Along with his school supplies, he carried a small paper bag that held a lettuce and tomato sandwich Princess Luna made for him for lunch, and a carton of chocolate milk. As he was walking toward the door, Miss Cheerilee reached out and touched his shoulder gently with a hoof.

She looked down at him with a warm smile “Hello Timmy, are you enjoying your first day of school so far sweetheart?”

He returned the smile “I’m really liking it Miss Cheerilee! Momma said that I would learn many new things here and it’s fun!”

Cheerilee smiled and giggled at the child’s enthusiasm “Well I’m glad that you’re enjoying it Timmy. If there is any lessons that you have problems in understanding or if you just need to talk, you can always come to see me either before or after school, okay?” She gave him a warm smile.

“Yes Miss Cheerilee, I promise I will.” He returned the smile as he looked out the door to hear some of the fillies and colts laughing.

“Now you go outside and enjoy your lunch Timmy. Have fun getting to know your fellow classmates.” She patted him gently on the shoulder as she trotted over to her desk.

“So girls, what do yall want to do today to try and get our cutie marks?” Applebloom was munching on an apple and peanut butter sandwich while sat with her fellow crusaders at a table.

Scootaloo sat across from Sweetie Belle and Applebloom eating tulip sandwich “Well, we could try parasailing. It always looks fun when I see ponies do it on the lake. However, we’ll have to find somepony to drive the boat for us.” She placed her hoof against her chin in a thinking manner.

“Uh.. I don’t know about that Scootaloo.” Sweetie Belle looked concerned of the idea as she had a caesar salad prepared by her sister “That sounds a bit scary, especially being up that high in the air.”

“Well, then Sweetie Belle, what do you think would be a good idea for cutie marks?” Scootaloo raised her arms up in the air as she chewed her sandwich. She realized that she snapped a bit at her “I’m sorry Sweetie, it’s just I’m tired of us not having our cutie marks yet.”

“It’s okay Scootaloo, I understand. I’m tired as well, but it’s just hard to think of something when we’ve tried everything in the book, and failed.” Sweetie sighed heavily and laid her head on her hoof.

As the three pondered about what to do to earn their cutie marks they saw Timmy come out of the school “Hey Timmy, over here buddy!” Applebloom waved over to the child and he gave a soft smile as he walked over to them.

Scootaloo scooted over for him to sit beside her “Hey little guy, how are you liking school so far?” She gave him a warm smirk and patted him on his back with a hoof.

He smiled happily at the three fillies “I’m really liking it! I’m learning so many new things that I did back home.” A sudden frown formed in his lips as he opened up the paper bag and pulled out his sandwich.

The girls looked at each with concerned looks, but chose not to ask him any further questions that could upset him. Applebloom then lit up with a warm smile “Hey buddy, how would ya feel about maybe coming to the farm with us? We could show you the Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse and ya could become an official member, how does that sound?”

He chewed at his sandwich before taking a swallow “That sounds like fun, but I would have ask my Momma if it’s okay. I don’t want her to worry about me going somewhere without letting her know.”

They all three nod in understanding as they all enjoy their lunch together. Lunch time seemed to go by quietly for the four until Diamond Tiara along with Silver Spoon trotted “Hey there blank flanks, are you three still trying to come up with dead brain ideas to try and get your cutie marks?” She scoffed at the three and earned a laugh from Silver Spoon.

“That’s an idea Diamond, they could get their cutie marks in brain surgery… but as the patients, because you three need brains.” A collective chuckle escaped from Diamond and Silver’s lips.

Scootaloo huffed and stood up from her seat “Do you two want to go right now?” She stood up on her hind legs and held up her forelegs in a fighting manner “C’mon, I’m not scared of you to little rich snot rags!”

Applebloom shook her head disapprovingly and sighed heavily “Calm down, wouldn’t ya Scootaloo? There is no sense in stooping down to their level.” She went back to eating her sandwich.

“Yeah, why don’t you two just leave us alone for once?” Sweetie Belle looked at them with a mixed look of annoyance and frustration.

Diamond scoffed “Because Silver and I enjoy making you girls feel miserable.” She giggled as she turned to see Timmy quietly eating his food “Oh, and you’re the new little freak that I saw walk into class earlier this morning.” A mischievous grin crept across her muzzle “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Diamond Tiara and this you little runt is my school!” She glared at the boy.

Timmy shook nervously at the comments Diamond made toward him as Scootaloo stepped in between them “Leave him alone Diamond! This is his first day of school for crying out loud and he doesn’t need the likes of you two prissy flanks ruining it for him. Now leave us alone or I’ll have to pulverize you!” She sneered at the two fillies.

“Simmer down Scootaloo, we’ll just go tell Miss Cheerilee.” Applebloom looked at Diamond and Silver “If ya two don’t leave us alone, we’ll make sure Miss Cheerilee give you detention.” She swallowed a bite of her sandwich and glared at the two.

Diamond waved a hoof at them “Whatever, we’ll leave you alone for now.” She then stared a hole through the child “But listen to me you little bug, if you dare get in my way, I promise to make you pay!” She huffed and fluffed her mane “Come Silver Spoon, we’ve spent enough time with these losers!” Silver Spoon nodded as they trotted away.

Hurt by the harsh words Diamond spat at him, Timmy felt tears sting his eyes and a deep frown crept across his face. The girls noticed this and Sweetie Belle reached across the table to hold his hand in her hoof “Hey Timmy, don’t let those cruel things Diamond said to you, she’s just full of hot air.” She rubbed at his hand comfortably and gave him a soft smile.

“Yeah buddy, we know exactly how she can be. We’ve been dealing with that varmint of a filly ever since we started coming to school. Don’t worry, we’ll protect ya.” Applebloom gave him a wink.

“That’s right Timmy!” Scootaloo smirked and patted his back softly “Since they think they have all the money in all of Equestria, or nearly all the money, they think they can run over anypony they can.” She let out a low growl but then smiled warmly at Timmy to comfort him.

He blinked his eyes to prevent himself from crying as he looked at each of them “Thank you Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo for being my friends.”

“Of course buddy, ya are a nice kid and we’re proud to be your friends.” Applebloom gave him a wink and smile as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement. The four laughed with each other and enjoyed the remainder of lunch together.

At Canterlot Castle, the Elements of Harmony were gathered in the throne room where Princess Celestia decided to hold day court. Princess Luna sat beside her with a smirk of confidence on her muzzle “Wait til’ that rotten nephew of ours learn of his punishment Tia, he’s gonna be highly upset.” She placed her hoof up to her lips and let out a small giggle.

Celestia smiled warmly and shared in the giggling “Haha.. I know Lulu, but I think this punishment will fit him for all that he’s done.” She gave her a wink.

Soon the doors to the throne room opened and in trotted two of the royal sisters loyal guards with Blueblood in between them. His forelegs and hind legs were shackled as he drug his hooves along the tiled floor. The guards would pull at him to make him trot fast, earning a grunt of annoyance from the former prince.

“Alright, alright you imbeciles, I’m moving!” He growled as he was led before his aunts. He slumped down on his haunches and sighed heavily.

Celestia bowed her head at the guards “Thank you my loyal ponies, you may leave us.” They bowed their head in return and turned to exit the throne room, shutting the door behind them. Celestia looked down at her nephew with pity in her eyes “Dear nephew, do you understand why you were summoned here today?”

Blueblood lifted his head and stared at her with his brows furrowed with frustration “Yes Aunt Tia, but what I do not understand is why are those buffoons doing here?” He motioned his horn toward the elements “They have no business in royal affairs such as my day of court and judgment.” He sneered at the six mares.

Rainbow hovered toward him, pressing her muzzle against his “Do you want to go now jerk?!” She snorted in his face “You ought to be grateful that you aren’t rotting in Tartarus where a piece of dirt like you belong!” She turned and hovered back over to the group.

“Calm yourself my friend, you’ll have your time to deliver your own brand of justice on my nephew soon enough.” Princess Luna gave Rainbow a smirk and then turned toward Blueblood who had a look of pure confusion etched over his face “What is it Blueblood, you look like you don’t understand what I just said?”

“I certainly do not Aunt Luna, what do you mean by that the flying idiot will be able extract her own justice upon me?” He glared at Rainbow as she had a huge smirk on her muzzle.

Celestia stomped her hoof against the floor “Silence Blueblood! You shall not speak ill will of the Elements of Harmony like that! Don’t you recall the many times they have saved Equestria, your home to make sure that YOU live safely and peacefully here!” She glared angrily at her nephew, but too in a deep breath to calm herself.

Luna cleared her throat, but was impressed at the anger and frustration her sister showed toward Blueblood. She looked at Blueblood “Prince Blueblood, or former prince, you are guilty of foal endangerment, threatening the peace of Equestria, foalnapping, and attempting to persuade the innocent in your cruel plans. For that, my sister and I have decided that not only would you serve the rest of your life in the dungeons underneath the castle, but for the next six weeks, you will work as the personal servant for each of the Elements of Harmony.”

He gasped and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor “WHAT?! You’ve got to be joking! Me become the servant to six no good hacks?! That has to be…”

“SILENCE!” Luna used her royal canterlot voice as she stomped the tiled floor “You will do as you are ordered or we shall send you to Tartarus, do you understand?”

Blueblood grunted and kicked at the floor angrily “Yes Aunt Luna.” He gritted his teeth.

“And to make sure you do your tasks correctly as instructed by the elements, we have asked for Discord to keep his eye you.” Celestia smirked “Discord, are you here?”

“You called your highness.” The draconequus soon appeared sipping a glass of ice cold lemonade. He gave a sly grin as he bowed his head toward the two sisters and elements “Hello my dear friends and your majesties.” He then looked at Blueblood and wrapped an arm around his neck “Hey Bluey, how are you buddy?” He chuckled.

Blueblood shrugged off his arm “Leave me alone you idiot! And I told you once, my name is BLUEBLOOD, NOT BLUEY!” He growled.

“Aw… what’s the matter Bluey, why so mad?” Discord used both hands to pinch and rub at Blueblood’s cheeks “Cheer up buddy, serving these six fine mares will be fun!” He clapped his hands together “And just imagine, I’ll be with you share in the fun!” He chuckled.

Blueblood simply rolled his eyes “Oh goody.” He shook his head with annoyance and disapproval.

Luna and Celestia giggled at the aggravation he was showing. Luna then cleared her throat “The first element that you will serve will be the Element of Honesty, Applejack.” She turned to look at the country mare “I’m sure that you and your family must need some help on the farm of Sweet Apple Acres?”

Applejack tipped her hat and smirked at the former prince “Ya bet princess. Ah’m sure that we can put him to work on the farm.” She let out a chuckle.

Celestia nodded “Then it is settled, Blueblood, you hereby as of this moment are under the command of the Elements of Harmony, if you so once disobey the orders they give you, then you shall be sentenced to live the rest of your life in Tartarus. Do you understand me?” She arched her eyebrow at him.

He grunted and sneered “Yes Aunt Celestia, I understand.”

Luna nodded and looked at the girls “Now that is settled, my friends, you all may leave if you wish or you may all venture through Canterlot. And I would like to ask all of you to write my sister and I letters on if Blueblood is serving his time obediently or if he is being rebellious.”

“Yes your highness.” The girls said altogether and bowed their heads before starting to trot out of the throne room.

Applejack grabbed the chain that was linked to the shackles around Blueblood’s forelegs “C’mon ya varmint, ya got some work to do!” She pulled at the chain and Blueblood had no choice but to follow.

“Well your majesties, I shall keep my eye on Bluey, but for now I must go find me something good to eat.” Discord bowed to the royal sisters “Ciao for now!” With a snap of his talons he disappeared in a flash.

Celestia smiled warmly at her sister “That was an impressive and very good choice of punishment Lulu. It’s going to be interesting to learn how the Elements of Harmony use their week in making Blueblood serve them.” She gave a blushing giggle.

Luna nodded and giggled along with her “Thank you Tia, I learned from the best.” She smiled warmly and felt her stomach grumble “I concur with Discord, I believe I’m hungry as well dear sister. Why don’t you say we go see what the cooks have prepared for lunch?”

“That sounds like a grand idea Lulu. I’m getting a little famished myself.” Celestia giggled and felt her own stomach grumble.

Together the royal sisters left the throne room and headed toward the dining hall.

Author's Note

Well, it looks like Diamond Tiara isn't done with Timmy, or she just gave him a warning :pinkiegasp: , but at least he knows he has friends in Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle :twilightsmile: Also, I wonder what the other girls plan to do with Blueblood as their personal servant :twilightblush:

Chapter Twenty-One

“C’mon ya yellow bellied dog, put your back into it!” Applejack looked on from the front porch of her home as she watched Blueblood plowing the fields.

The former prince dug his hooves deep into the soft, rich soil as he drug the plow behind him, grunting every now and then. Beads of sweat poured down his face This is ludicrous, being forced by Aunt Tia and Aunt Luna to perform hard labor for these petty commoners. All because of that foul little beast. He gritted his teeth as he continued to trudge along the ground.

A smirk of satisfaction crept across Applejack’s muzzle as she revelled in the sight of Blueblood was working his tail to the bone. She chewed on a piece of straw with her Stetson hat tipped to one side Serves that rotten varmint right for bring harm to Timmy. Ah wonder what the girls are planning for him to do for them when their week comes. She chucked to herself at the thought.

“Nyah, how is the young whipper snapper holding up?” Granny Smith trotted out onto the porch on her shaky legs and stood beside Applejack.

“Howdy Granny, he’s doing alright for a former member of high society. However, Ah believe he has a long way to go before he learns the true meaning of hard work and Ah plan on teaching it to him before my week is over.” She tipped her hat to Granny.

The elder mare simply chuckled “Nyah, now that’s what I like to hear from my granddaughter.” She winked at Applejack “Say, after he gets done how about you make him.” She leaned forward and whispered into her ear.

Applejack gasped after Granny pulled her head back and snickered “Granny Smith Apple!Ah can’t ya will suggest a thing like that, especially for a pony your age!” She shook her head, but soon a sly smile crossed her muzzle “Ya know Granny, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all. Not only does he need to learn about hard labor, but respect for others.” She chuckled.

“Applejack, Granny, dinner’s ready!” The two turned to see Applebloom standing in the doorway “Big Mac fixed us a green bean casserole, roasted potatoes, fresh green leaf salad, and for dessert of course our famous apple turnovers.” The filly chuckled and licked her lips before turning to trot back into the kitchen.

“Nyah, that grandson of mine sure can fix a good meal when he feels like it.” Granny Smith smiled and turned to trot back inside “Aren’t ya coming youngun?”

“Ah’ll be inside in a little bit Granny, Ah got to let Blueblood know what he’s got to do next before he gets to eat. Ya go on ahead and go eat with Applebloom and Big Mac.” Applejack tipped her hat to the elder mare and trotted out toward the fields.

Blueblood collapsed on the ground after finishing plowing the entire field. Heavy breaths escaped his lips as he struggled to stand up on wobbly legs This is truly absurd to treat a prince, well a former prince like a piece of cattle. His head hung low as he panted heavily.

Applejack trotted up to him and examined the fields “Well Ol’ Bluey, ya did a darn good job, Ah’ll give ya that.” She gave a nod of satisfaction “Dinner’s ready if ya would like to have some, but first ya gotta give the pigs their evening meal before they got to turn into for the night.”

He cringed at the thought “Oh goody, I get to feed some bulbous, disgusting swine! My day is getting better by the second, isn’t it?!” He rolled his eyes, only to look at Applejack’s brows furrowed and shaking her head “Alright, alright, what do I have to feed the filthy beasts?”

Applejack waved her foreleg “Follow me pardner, but don’t ya ever speak about mah pigs like that again! We care deeply about the critters we have here on the farm and that includes the pigs. So don’t ya be insulting our animals, do ya understand?” She huffed.

He swallowed shallowly at the frustration the country pony showed “Okay, okay, I won’t talk bad about your precious animals ever again. I just don’t see why such lowly… Ooph!” Suddenly he was struck in the chest by Applejack’s hind hoof.

“Ah warned ya Ol’ Bluey! Next time, Ah’ll buck ya with both!” She sneered as they entered into the barn. She smirked at Blueblood “Now all ya gotta do is take those two buckets.” She pointed her hoof at two medium sized buckets standing against the all “Fill the trough with both, and ring that bell.” She then pointed at a rope that was connected to a golden bell up above “And the pigs will come rushing out to enjoy their meal.” She nodded and smiled proudly “After you're done with all that, then you can come inside and have dinner, but not until after you’re done slopping the pigs.”

He grunted and trotted over to the buckets “Bleh!” He held his hoof up to his mouth to prevent himself from vomiting and looked at Applejack “Do you really expect me to degrade myself by touching this putrid gunk?”

Applejack simply chuckled “Listen feller, you’re under my supervision for the week. So ya are gonna listen to me, or Ah’ll make sure Princess Celestia and Princess Luna locks you up tighter than Granny Smith’s special recipe book!” She turned toward the barn entrance “Now Ah’m goin to go and enjoy dinner with my family, just knock on the back door when you’re done.” She gave a nod and trotted toward the house.

Blueblood kicked at the ground and sneered Absolutely ridiculous! Having to lower myself to feeding flea ridden beasts for punishment. He grabbed one of the buckets between his teeth and trotted over to the trough I’d better be served a glorious meal after doing such a sickening task. He dumped the first bucket in and went to retrieve the other one. After he filled the trough, he trotted over to the rope “Come and get your food you filthy...Ah Oomph!”

Like a stampede of cattle, the pigs rushed out of their pen and ran over the stallion like a train. He was trampled into the hay and dirt of the barn, some getting into his mouth. When the pigs dug into their slop, Blueblood slowly got up and gagged Blech! This is simply horrid! Now I got to get my pristine coat washed. He looked around until he found a hose hooked to the wall of the barn I guess that will do for now. He grunted and trotted over to get himself washed off.

“Ah’m telling ya Big Mac, ya fixed one fine dinner for us tonight. Ah commend ya my brother.” Applejack smirked as she tipped her hat to Big Mac. A knock was heard and the family turned to see Blueblood at the back door, his fur soaked “What in tarnation happened to ya Ol’ Bluey? Did ya lose a fight with the garden hose?” She chuckled as she trotted to the door and opened it to invite him in.

He grunted with annoyance “No thank you, I rather not share my supper with commoners and ranch hands.” The Apples simply rolled their eyes “And no, I did not lose a fight with the garden hose.I had to wash myself off after your swines trampled all over me and caused my rich, delicate fur to become besmirched with filth!” He sneered “Now if you please, just give me my plate and I shall find a decent place to eat.”

“Suit yourself ya spoiled brat!” Big Mac glared at him as he brought his plate to him, and then trotted back toward his seat.

Applejack shook her head disapprovingly at Blueblood’s remarks, but suddenly her smirk returned “Oh, before Ah forget pardner, before ya go to bed tonight, ya gotta do one last thing.”

Blueblood rolled his eyes and sighed heavily “Oh do pray tell, what task shall I be given next? Feed the chickens a bedtime snack? Read your sister a bedtime story? Please, just no more disgusting pigs!” He rubbed at his forehead before starting to eat his meal.

Applejack chuckled “Nah, not any of those things, although the chickens do need their feed before they go to bed. Ah can do that, but your last task before ya turn in for the night will have to give Granny a nice, soothing bubble bath and a massage, because her back is acting up again.”

He lifted his head and a look of pure disgust washed over his face as he looked at Granny Smith who simply chuckled. He gagged “I think I’ve lost my appetite!” He turned and galloped off to throw up.

Oh, now that is simply dreadful. Me giving that old hag a bubble bath, and worse using my well manicured hooves to… bleh… rub her wrinkly old back! For Aunt Celestia’s sake, how can it get any worse for the next five weeks?!

At Canterlot Castle, Luna trotted inside her bedchambers after raising her moon to see her son warmly tucked in under the covers with a spot next to him for her to lay. As she trotted up to the bed Timmy gave her a little smile “Momma, do you think I’m a freak?” The smile suddenly turned into a frown.

Luna gasped and felt her heart break at the question, shocked and hurt to hear such a thing from her son. She looked at him with a serious, yet motherly stare “Oh my little princes, of course I don’t think you are a freak. You are a precious, handsome, and sweet little boy. Why would you ask me such a question like that?” She carefully climbed into bed beside him and lifted a wing up over him.

He shook nervously “There was this girl at school today who called me a freak, because I don’t look like her or the other ponies.” He felt tears form in his eyes and turned his head to prevent his mother from seeing him cry.

Luna’s heart broke more at the sadness he showed, but she tenderly caressed him with her wing “Shh… my little prince… Shh… Momma’s here, please don’t cry.” She leaned her head down to nuzzle him “Who told you such a horrid lie Timmy?”

He sniffled as he lifted his head up to look into her eyes, a couple lone tears rolling down his cheeks “Her name is Diamond Tiara. She told me not to get in her way at school or she will be even more mean to me.”

Luna’s blood boiled at the thought of her son being bullied for not being a pony. However, she tried to remain calm and be there for him as she calmly sighed “I’ve heard of this Diamond Tiara before my son, but she is just filled with what we call “hot air”. She let out a light giggle and nudged him playfully with her muzzle “The stuff she told you may have hurt you Timmy, but none of it was true. You are my son, my little prince, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a pony or not, I’ll always love you!” She gave him a warm smile and kissed his forehead “Do you understand me?”

He sniffled once more and nodded “Yes Momma, I understand, and I love you too!” He reached his arms up to hug at her neck and she happily accepted the hug, and returned it with a foreleg around his back.

She kissed the top of his head “That’s my son. Now close your eyes Timmy, sleep peacefully, and may you have dreams of joy, fun, and love.” She rubbed up and down his back gently with her foreleg.

“Goodnight Momma.” He curled up under her foreleg and wing, and then closed his eyes gently to drift off to a peaceful slumber.

She looked down at him with that same motherly stare and smiled warmly. She whispered softly into his ear “Goodnight my little prince, Momma love you and always will!” She kissed him on the cheek and laid her head just above his, tucking it caringly under her chin.

It looks like I’m going to have to pay a visit to the little filly’s father, Filthy Rich.

Well, it looks like Blueblood's punishment is getting off to a rousing start :rainbowlaugh:

Chapter Twenty-Two

As morning arrived in Canterlot, Princess Luna’s eyes fluttered open as she let out a soft yawn. Rays of sunlight trickled through the curtains of her bed chambers providing her with warmth and comfort. A warm smile crept across her muzzle as she lifted her wing and looked down at her little prince sleeping soundly.

She leaned her head down and nuzzled his cheek “Timmy dear, it’s time to wake up.” She giggled softly as she saw his little eyes blink open and he let out a soft yawn of his own “That’s my little prince. Are you hungry dear?” She stroked at his side with a wing.

He stretched out his arms and looked up at her with a soft smile “Yes Momma, I am. What are we going to have for breakfast?” He gave her a hug to her side.

Her heart melted at the gesture and she wrapped a foreleg around him to return the hug. She leaned her head down to give the top of his head a tender kiss “Well my little prince, shall we go see what is being prepared?” He responded with a simple nod and smiled brightly before climbing out of the bed.

Luna’s heart beamed at the joy he showed as she carefully climbed out and onto the marbled floor. She stretched out her wings and leaned down on her forelegs “Climb up my little prince and we shall make our way toward the dining hall.” With a simple nod, Timmy climbed on top of the princess’s back. She stood up and turned to nuzzle at his cheek before trotting out of her bed chambers.

As they arrived at the royal dining hall, they saw Princess Celestia sitting at the table, sipping a cup of tea. With a warm smile upon her muzzle, Celestia greeted the two with a gentle nod “Ah, good morning sister and my precious prince of a nephew.”

Luna trotted up to the table and carefully levitated Timmy onto the chair next to her. She turned to return the smile to her sister “Good morning Tia, did you sleep well last night?” She saw a cup of tea prepared for her and she used her magic to sip at it.

“Yes I did my dear sister. I slept like a newborn foal.” She chuckled as she looked toward her nephew “And how did my dear little nephew sleep? I know yesterday, when you returned home from school, you looked quite upset.” A small frown formed on Celestia’s muzzle.

Timmy nodded and gave his aunt a reassuring, bright smile “I slept good Aunt Celestia. Momma kept me close to her so I won’t be afraid and have any bad dreams.” He turned to smile up at Luna, who returned the smile.

While the three were talking amongst each other, the dining hall doors opened to reveal Trixie. She trotted in, levitating a tray with three plates and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. With a warm smile on her muzzle she spoke happily “Good morning Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, I hope you two are doing well.” She then gave a grin to the little boy “And how is the most precious little prince in the wide world of Equestria doing this morning, huh?” She gave him a wink and levitated the tray onto the table.

“Good morning Trixie my dear. My sister and I are doing wonderful, and we hope you are as well.” Celestia gave her a warm smile and sniffed the air “Mm.. the food smells divine. What have you prepared for us this morning, if I may ask?”

Trixie beamed “Yes your highness, Trixie is doing wonderful and for breakfast, I prepared a meal that I hope you all will enjoy.” First, she levitated a plate each toward the royal sisters, which consisted of a freshly made salad with three slices of apple “Of course the apples are from the Element of Honesty, Applejack’s farm..” She giggled.

She then looked at her charge “And for you my little buddy, Trixie done some research on what your species eat, and I hope you enjoy what I prepared for you.” She gave a wink to Timmy and levitated a plate and the glass of orange juice over to the boy. On his plate were two pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, topped with pats of butter, and a side of apple slices.

A bright smile crept across Timmy’s face as he looked at his plate of food in front of him. He looked at Trixie “Oh Miss Trixie, it all looks yummy!” He let out a small laugh. He reached for a fork by his plate, cut through some of the pancakes, and took a bite. As he finished chewing the first bite of pancakes, he sighed and smiled softly at Trixie “Oh, these are very good Miss Trixie, thank you.” He then went back to eating at his food.

Trixie beamed with joy “Well, Trixie is glad that you enjoy it sweetie. For now, I shall leave you three and go search through the royal library. There are so many fascinating books that Trixie would love to read.” With a nod towards the three, she turned and trotted out of the dining hall.

Luna watched her son enjoying his breakfast with a warm smile on her muzzle, and then turned to look at her sister “Tia, could I speak with you outside in the hall for a little bit?” Celestia responded with a simple nod and Luna turned back to Timmy, and placed a hoof on his shoulder “Timmy dear, Momma will just be outside talking to your Aunt Tia. If you need anything just call for either one of us, okay my little prince?”

“Okay Momma, I’ll be okay.” He gave her a soft smile and went back to eating his morning meal.

Celestia and Luna got up from their seats and trotted out of the dining hall, slightly closing the door behind them. Celestia looked at her younger sister curiously “What is on your mind Lulu?”

Luna sighed heavily as she looked up into Celestia’s eyes “Tia, last night, Timmy asked me if I thought he was a freak.” A frown formed on her muzzle as a gasp escaped Celestia’s lips.

“What?! Why would he ask you such a question Lulu? He knows that you, nor I will ever think of him as a freak, but as a beloved member of our family.” Celestia placed a comforting hoof on Luna’s shoulder “What would make him think that he is a freak?”

Luna felt tears sting her eyes, but she blinked to prevent them from escaping “He told me that filly Diamond Tiara said the was a freak, because he wasn’t a pony like all the other colts and fillies at school.” She inhaled deeply and exhaled “That is why I wanted to speak with you Tia. Today I’m planning to take Timmy with me and we are going to go visit Diamond Tiara and her father, Filthy Rich. I just wanted to ask if it would be okay with you?”

Celestia sighed and rubbed at Luna’s shoulder “If I know you my dear sister, I know that you don’t let stuff like this go. So Lulu, yes it will be okay with me for you to go talk with the Riches, but don’t let Nightmare Moon come out like you did with our misguided nephew.” She chuckled a bit.

Luna smiled softly at Celestia “Thank you sister. I promise I will be as calm and peaceful as possible, but that little filly is going to apologize to my son.” A firm smirk formed on her muzzle and the two sisters trotted back into the dining hall.

As they re-entered, they noticed that the child was done with his breakfast, and Luna smiled warmly at him “Did you enjoy your breakfast my little prince?” She stroked his head gently with a hoof.

He smiled brightly and nodded “Yes I did Momma. Miss Trixie made a very good breakfast.” He giggled as he wiped his mouth with a napkin and climbed off his chair. He hugged at Luna’s foreleg “I’ll go get ready for school Momma.”

Luna leaned her head down to kiss the top of his head “That’s my little boy. I’ll be taking you today Timmy, so I’ll be coming to get you as soon as you are ready.” She stroked up and down his back tenderly before sending him off to go get dressed.

She turned to Celestia and sighed “Thank you again Tia for letting me do this. I promise you that I’ll be okay.” She trotted up to her sister and wrapped a foreleg around her neck in a hug “I love you sister.”

Celestia returned the hug “I love you too Lulu, and good luck with the meeting with Filthy Rich and Diamond Tiara.” They released the hug and Luna trotted out of the dining hall to go wait for Timmy.

I wonder how my naïve and irresponsible nephew is doing anyway. Celestia giggled at the thought as she headed back toward the throne room.

At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was up bright and early tending to the farm animals before doing her daily applebucking. The first task she decided to do was fetch the eggs from the hen house Hope there are some fresh eggs this morning. Ah gotta fix Applebloom a good breakfast before sending her off to school. She carefully opened the hen house door and peeked her head in to see that the chickens were starting to stir.

A basket hung from her mouth as she trotted inside to gather some eggs. She placed the basket down in the center “Alright gals, let’s see today’s offerings, shall we?” She chuckled as she trotted to each of the hens and carefully inspected the eggs. After collecting a good amount of eggs she trotted out of the hen house and left the door open for them to come out and enjoy the day.

She took the basket inside to place on the kitchen counter Now Ah’ll just fix something good after I finish with tending to the other critters. As she was about to trot back outside, there was a knock at the door Now who in tarnation would that be at this time of day? She shook away her thoughts and made her way to the den. She trotted to the door and carefully opened it to reveal a giddy, excited, and bouncy Pinkie Pie with an ear splitting grin on her muzzle.

“Hi, hi Applejack!” She giggled “What are you doing, huh, huh?” She wiggled her eyebrows and continued to hop in place.

Applejack chuckled at her friend’s never ending giddiness “Well, Ah was just collecting eggs to make breakfast, but Ah was going to finish tending to the rest of the animals first.” She sighed softly and looked at Pinkie curiously “What are ya doing here at this time of day Pinkie?”

The pink mare just giggled and grinned “Oh, you silly filly! You know what today is, don’t you?” She bounced inside the house “Today is my day with that old meanie pants Blueblood!” She stopped hopping as she looked around “Speaking of the party pooper, where is he?” She looked at Applejack curiously.

“Oh, Ah completely forgot that my week with Ol’ Bluey was done.” She chuckled and pointed toward the door “He’s just outside in the barn snoozing. Before he went to bed last night, Ah told him to give Granny Smith a bubble bath, and let’s just say that after he was done, he went to bed without question.” She let out another chuckle “Follow me, Ah’ll go with you to…”

“Nopey, nope, nope! I’ll go wake him up Applejack! You go and finish your morning duties and I’ll go get Meanie Bluey up!” She giggled and turned to hop out of the house, and headed toward the barn.

Once she arrived at the barn door, she peeked in “Blueblood! Oh, Blueblood are you in here?” She looked all around until she spotted the sleeping former prince snoozing on top of a bail of hay. She giggled Aww.. he’s sleeping like a newborn foal. It would be mean of me to wake him up from a wonderful dream. She giggled once more and quietly snuck in the barn, and tip toed toward the bail of hay he was laying on.

She randomly pulled out an air horn But for all the meanie, mean things he’s done to my poor little sweet cupcake, this shouldn’t hurt him one bit! She reached out her hoof and placed the air horn close to Blueblood’s face.

“AAH!” Blueblood’s eyes snapped open and he fell off the hay “What in Tartarus was that?!” He gasped as he struggled to get up on his legs. He placed a hoof on his chest as he caught his breath “Whew, good thing I didn’t.. AH!”

“Hi, hi there Bluebelle!” Suddenly the grinning face of Pinkie appeared right in front of Blueblood causing him to let out another scream and fall backwards onto his flank. She started to hop around him “Are you ready to have the best, funnest, fun day you ever had?” She cartwheeled in front of him and held up her forelegs spread out wide and with a beaming grin etched across her muzzle.

Oy vey, it’s the goofy pink one! He rubbed between his eyes with a hoof and slowly traced it down his face. He sighed heavily “The name is Blueblood, not Bluebelle! BLUEBLOOD!” He yelled at Pinkie “And no, I’m not ready for any kind of day with you!” He snarled and huffed.

“Aww.. now c’mon you grouchy, grouch, grouch! I promise you’ll going to have fun today!” She giggled and placed both of her forehooves on Blueblood’s cheeks “Now turn that snarl into a happy face!” She forced a smile on his muzzle.

His blood started to boil as he shook his head to force Pinkie’s hooves off “Don’t touch me!” He snapped but was immediately bopped on the head “Ow! Who did… Oh, you.” He grunted as he turned to see the disappointed look of Applejack who had a rolled up newspaper in her hoof.

“Yah, ya bet it’s me ya old scoundrel. Ah heard you yell at my friend, and Ah knew Ah had to come to teach ya a lesson. Yer time is up with me and now it’s Pinkie’s turn to take you for the week. “Applejack smirked “Unless if ya want to stay…” She trailed off as she turned her head toward the house where Granny Smith was standing at the door “Ah’m sure Granny won’t mind if ya gave her another warm and soothing bubblebath.” She chuckled as she turned look back at Blueblood.

The stallion swallowed nervously as he looked past Applejack’s shoulder at the elder mare who gave him a seductive wave and wiggle of her eyebrows. He grimaced at the sight and at the thought of scrubbing her wrinkly form again “No! No for the love of Aunt Celestia, no!” He turned to look at Pinkie who was just hopping in place “Uh.. Pinkie, right?” He chuckled nervously.

“Yeppers, that’s me!” She giggled and beamed as she felt her foreleg immediate grasped by Blueblood.

“I think I’m ready to have that fun day!” In a flash Blueblood zoomed out of the barn as fast as Rainbow Dash zooms along the skies and away from Sweet Apple Acres. The force knocked Applejack’s hat off her head, but she reached down to pick it up and dusted it off.

She chuckled Ah guess he really didn’t want to stay and help more around the farm. She chuckled some more and exited the barn to go finish tending to the animals.

Along the way toward Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie continued to hop circles around Blueblood, causing the former prince to get highly frustrated. His eyes darted back and forth at the peppy, pink party pony as he let out a deep, low grunt “Don’t you ever trot like a normal pony or do you bounce around like a blasted bunny all day long?” He sneered at her.

“Of course not silly, I don’t only bounce!” She giggled and hopped up in the air, and suddenly landed on the back of the unicorn stallion. This caused him to snarl, but Pinkie grabbed his mane “Onward my steed toward Sugarcube Corner!” She pointed ahead with a foreleg.

“GET OFF ME YOU BLASTED IMBECILE!” He yelled, but Pinkie just hopped up and down on his back. He sighed deeply and rolled his eyes For the love of Aunt Celestia, I wish this would end! He let out a heavy sigh as he trotted toward Ponyville with the pink party pony as his passenger.

Meanwhile in Ponyville, Luna trotted along the streets, carrying Timmy on her back. The town’s ponies would greet the two with a bow of their heads and a wave of their hooves, which Luna and Timmy both returned the same gesture. Soon they arrived at a towering alabaster white house that was supported by three huge stone pillars, had a white picket fence surround the perimeter of the home.

This must be the estate of Filthy Rich and that little tyrant, Diamond Tiara. Luna let out a heavy sigh as she trotted up to the front door of the house and knocked with a hoof. She turned her head to look at her son “My little prince, don’t be nervous, but I decided to bring us to speak with the father of that filly who said those harsh things to you, okay?” She nuzzled his cheek comfortingly.

He nodded “Yes Momma, I understand.” He reached forward her neck as the door to the home slowly opened.

A pear white coated earth pony dressed in a tuxedo answered the door. He had a flowing, neck-length silvery-white mane and tail, with cyan blue eyes, and for his cutie mark, he had a pair of white gloves in an “x” shape. His head was bowed as he opened the door “Hello and welcome to…” He cut himself off once he lifted his head to spot the princess “Oh, your highness, what a surprise.” He bowed his head again to Luna.

With a warm smile and a nod Luna greeted the butler “Hello my good Sir. If I may ask, is Sir Filthy Rich available?” She kept the kind smile on her muzzle.

The butler nodded “Oh, yes your majesty, Master Rich is in his office.” He stepped aside “Please your highness, come in and I shall go fetch master for you.” He gave a warm smile and noticed the child on her back “Oh, well hello young one, and who might you be?” He closed the door gently as Luna trotted in.

Luna smiled warmly back at her son “It’s okay my little prince, don’t be shy.” She nuzzled his cheek as she turned her attention back to the butler.

“My name is Timmy Sir.” He smiled softly at the stallion.

“Well, that is a fine young name indeed my lad.” He gave a bow of his head “My name is Buxton, and I have been a loyal servant and butler to Master Rich ever since he was a colt himself.” He led the two to a large room “Your majesty, young Timmy, please wait here in the den while I go get Master Rich.” He bowed his head one last time before trotting off toward Filthy Rich’s office.

Luna leaned forward to let Timmy climb off her back and the two went to sit on a sofa. A few minutes passed when Filthy Rich trotted in “Good morning your highness, how are you doing on this fine day?” He gave a warm grin to the princess and bowed his head.

“I’m doing quite fine Sir Filthy Rich.” She gave a warm smile and nod, but a heavy sigh escaped her lips as she placed a foreleg gently over her son’s shoulder “Sir Rich, I would like for you to meet my adopted son, Timmy.” She rubbed at his other shoulder with her free hoof.

Filthy Rich turned his attention to the boy and gave a warm smile, and nod “Well hello there young lad. It’s a pleasure to meet you Timmy, my name if Filthy Rich.” He trotted closer to the pair and sat in a chair across from them “So your majesty, what is this surprise visit about?” He then thought for a second “Oh, I forgot would you or young Timmy like a cup of coffee?”

“No thank you Sir Rich, we already had a full breakfast, but thank you for the generous offer.” Luna gave Filthy Rich a warm smile, but she sighed heavily “The reason we came by is that last night, my little prince told me that yesterday at school, your daughter said some pretty harsh things to him.” She looked at her son with a frown, but kissed the top of his head to assure him it’s okay “My choice to come here was for your daughter to apologize to my son for the harsh things she said to him.” She rubbed at his shoulders comfortingly.

Filthy Rich looked at Timmy with a frown “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry to hear that young lad.” He then turned his head toward the outer hall “Diamond Tiara, come to the living room please!” He called out to his daughter.

“Yes Daddy, what did you… Princess Luna?!” She gasped and bowed her head immediately. When she lifted her head she saw the little boy “What is he doing here Daddy?”

Filthy Rich shook gave her a stern stare “Diamond, the princess told me that you said some pretty mean things to her son. Is this true?” He crossed his forelegs and raised an eyebrow “And I want you to tell me the truth young filly.”

A scowl formed on Diamond’s muzzle as she stared at the child with anger Little tattle tale. Her thoughts were cut off as she heard the clearing of her father’s throat. She looked up into his eyes nervously “Yes Daddy, I did, but look at him. He’s not a pony, but just a…” She was cut off as Filthy stamped his hoof against the floor.

“Diamond Sapphire Tiara! Not another word from you.” He turned to look at Timmy “My young lad, I am truly sorry for my daughter’s actions toward you.” He turned back to Diamond “Now honey, I want you to apologize this instant to him.” He motioned toward Timmy with a hoof.

With a heavy sigh, she looked at the boy “Timmy, I want to say that I’m sorry for calling you a freak yesterday and saying that no one could ever love you, because you’re not a pony.” She then looked at the princess “Your majesty, I want to say I’m sorry to you as well for picking on your son.”

Luna could sense that the filly didn’t mean a word of her apology but she nodded anyway “Thank you dear one.” She then looked at Timmy “My little prince, is there anything you would like to say?” She kissed the top of his head.

He looked up at her with a soft smile, and then at Diamond “I forgive you Diamond.” He gave her a smile as well.

Filthy Rich trotted over to Diamond and patted her head ‘That’s my girl. Now go upstairs and get ready for school.” She replied with a nod and a curtsy bow to the princess before turning to trot upstairs. Filthy Rich then looked at Luna “Your highness, how would you like for us to take care of this matter? I don’t believe you came just for a simple apology, am I correct?”

Luna chuckled a bit “You are very wise Sir Filthy Rich. However, you are right. I believe that rightful punishment for your daughter is one, to accompany my son to school today. You know, maybe some time with each other could help them become friends.” She gave a warm smiled and turned toward Timmy “Would you be okay with that dear?”

If Momma believes it will be okay, maybe it will. He looked up at her with a soft smile and nodded ‘Yes Momma, that will be okay.” He felt her pat at his back.

Soon Diamond returned downstairs with her saddlebags on and trotted up to her father. She reached up and hugged his neck “Okay Daddy, I’ll see you after school.” She released the hug and turned to trot outside, but felt a hoof on her shoulder.

“Hold on sugar plum. Before you leave, the princess and I have discussed your punishment. Today you will be escorting young Timmy to school with you.” He looked at her with a stern yet still fatherly stare.

“What?! But Daddy… I..” She was immediately silenced as Filthy held up a hoof.

“No buts Diamond. Now you be nice to him and then we will discuss the rest of your punishment when you get home.” He kissed the top of her head.

She grunted and looked at Timmy “Alright, c’mon Timmy, we don’t want to be late.” She turned and trotted to the front door to wait for the child.

Luna smiled warmly at her son and gave him one last kiss on the top of his head “Now you have a good day at school sweetheart, and I’ll see you afterwards, okay?” She stroked at his hair.

He nodded and hugged at her neck “Okay Momma, I love you.” He released the hug and climbed off the sofa. As he walked toward the front door he looked at Filthy Rich “It was nice meeting you Mister Rich.”

Filthy smiled warmly at him and patted his back “It was a pleasure to meet you as well my lad. Now if my daughter is mean to you on the way to school, you let your mother know and she will me know, okay?” Timmy nodded and then went to follow Diamond Tiara out of the house.

As the door was shut, Filthy turned to look at Luna “Your highness, again, I would like to apologize for my daughter’s behavior. It’s just ever since her mother left us, she has been acting up.” A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he trotted back to the chair.

A curious yet sad expression etched across Luna’s face “Oh, I didn’t know Sir Filthy Rich. If I may be bold to ask, what happened with Madame Rich?”

Another heavy escaped the stallion’s lips “Well, your highness, it’s a painful story retell, but I believe it will explain Diamond’s behavior not only to your son, but also the other fillies and colts I’ve heard about her bullying.” He took in a deep breath and exhaled.

Meanwhile

On the way to Ponyville Elementary, Timmy looked beside him at Diamond Tiara “It’s a pretty day, isn’t it Diamond Tiara?” He gave a soft, yet nervous smile.

Diamond sneered and rolled her eyes “Listen, if we don’t speak to each other on the way to school, then I don’t have to be mean to you. So let’s just get to school.” She grunted but as they headed toward school a voice interrupted them.

“Hey there Miss Prissy!”

Oh great. She sighed heavily and turned to see a bulky, orange coated coat trot up to the duo “What do you want Bastion?” She rolled her eyes.

“Well, I just wanted to see how my favorite “former” friend was doing today?” The colt chuckled heavily as he saw the child beside Diamond “Oh, and whose this, your little boyfriend?” He trotted close to Timmy, towering over him a bit and pushed him with a hoof “He sure is a small shrimp, and not even a pony either.”

Diamond sighed heavily again ‘Just leave him alone Bastion. No, he is not my boyfriend, just a kid I bullied that my father forced me to walk to school with.” She placed a foreleg against Timmy’s chest and pushed him away from the colt.

“Oh, that’s right, you have to do what your daddy says now.” Bastion chuckled again “Because you don’t have a mommy anymore now. Your mommy decided to leave you….gah!” He was suddenly grabbed by the throat by Diamond’s hoof.

“DON’T YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT MY MOTHER!” She yelled as anger flashed in her eyes. She released Bastion’s throat “NOW LEAVE!” Bastion swallowed nervously and galloped off.

Timmy shook nervously at the display of anger Diamond exhibited. He reached out to place a hand on her shoulder as he saw her shaking “D-Diamond Tiara, are you okay?”

Diamond tensed for a moment at the touch of the boy’s hand. She inhaled deeply and exhaled “Kid, don’t touch me. L-let’s just get to school.” She grunted and turned abruptly in the direction to school.

Timmy frowned as she saw Diamond trot off and he followed behind. The sight of her angry like that scared him, but also worried.

Something must have happened to her mommy.

Author's Note

Yes I know what you are all thinking.

and yes

Also :pinkiegasp: it looks like Blueblood is going to have his hooves full serving Pinkie. If you think his time with the Apples was excruciating for him, you haven't seen anything yet. :raritywink: Also, could the painful memory of what happened with Diamond's mother be the key to her opening up and bringing her walls down? :rainbowderp:

Chapter Twenty-Three

For the sake of all that is harmonious in this land, I wish this blasted pink creaton would get off my back. A heavy sigh escaped from the lips of Blueblood as he continued to trot toward Ponyville with Pinkie Pie riding on top of him. He glanced up at her with a scowl on his muzzle “WILL YOU GET OFF ME YOU BLASTED MA… OW!” His yelling came to a halt after being hit over the head with something hard.

“Such language toward one of my friends is unacceptable!” In a flash Discord stood before the former prince holding a yard ruler and sporting a pair of eyeglasses “I will not tolerate in misbehavior from you mister while you are under the careful watch of the Elements of Harmony.” He clicked his teeth together in disappointment.

“Hi Discord!” Pinkie yelped in joy as she leaped off Blueblood straight toward the draconequus tackling him to the ground in a hug.

Discord chuckled as he reached up to ruffle at her puffy, pink mane “Good morning my dear Pinkie, how is my favorite party planner?” He grabbed her carefully by the sides and lifted her up in the air.

She giggled happily “I am doing fantabulous!” She hopped off the draconequus and started to hop in place, to the dismay of Blueblood.

Oi vey! If the pink imbecile isn’t enough, I have to put up with the biggest neanderthal of all Equestria! Blueblood simply rolled his eyes, allowing a heavy sigh to escape his lips as he looked at the two “Would you two come on? I want to get this week with the pink menace over with as soon as possible.” He let out a huff as he trotted forward.

Discord looked at stallion with disappointment before turning back to his bouncing friend. He whispered to her “Geez , what is his problem? Did a breezy fly up his flank?” He snickered as his comment earned a giggle from Pinkie. Together the two trailed behind Blueblood toward Sugarcube Corner.

Sugarcube Corner

Mr. Cake was in the kitchen adding the finishing touches to a three tier strawberry cake for a young filly’s birthday. Each tier was topped with vanilla frosting, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. He stepped back with a smile of pride I gotta say, this is the most impressive cake I’ve made in a long time.

He looked around as there were also a mix of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes he baked. He reached up to wipe sweat from his brow I hope little Fresh Mint will like it. He then turned to trot to the kitchen door to peek in the parlor “Honey, I am done with the cake and cupcakes. How is everything going with the little ones?”

“Everything is going good dear, they are really enjoying their scrambled eggs.” Mrs. Cake responded as she was feeding Pumpkin and Pound Cake their breakfast. She smiled at the two babies as she wiped their mouths with a napkin “Aren’t you my precious ones?” She leaned her head close to them and nuzzled their cheeks.

She lifted her head to look at the clock “Dear, shouldn’t Pinkie be back by now? I’m getting worried.” She bit her lower lip as she collected the dirty plates to take into the kitchen. As she trotted in, she saw Carrot Cake putting up his apron “I hope she is okay Carrot.” She placed the dirty plates in the sink and started to fill it up with water to wash them.

“I’m sure she’s fine honey. You know how Pinkie can be, she can be quite the curious, adventurous mare.” He chuckled as he trotted over to the sink to give his wife a kiss on the cheek “Also, you know she won’t ever miss the chance to host a party, especially a birthday party.” He gave her an encouraging smile.

Soon the bell above the bake shop’s door rang “Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I’m back!” A sigh of relief escaped the lips of both Cakes as they washed their hooves and trotted back into the parlor. Pinkie hopped in “And I brought a special guest! Oh, Bluey, come meet Mr. and Mrs. Cake!” An ear to ear smile adorned her muzzle as she looked at the two bakery owners.

“For the last time, my name is not Bluey!” Blueblood trotted into the bakery as he was greeted with shock expressed on the faces of The Cakes. He looked confused “What? Do I have something in my beautiful mane?” He glanced up to that his mane was still the same.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake bowed their heads “Oh Prince Blueblood, please forgive us.” Mrs. Cake spoke as she bit her lower lip nervously “Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, I am Cup Cake.” She lifted her head back up with a warm smile.

“And my name is Carrot Cake. Together my wife and I own this fine baking establishment, Sugarcube Corner.” He raised his head with a proud smile on his muzzle.

“Well, at least there are still some peasants that have respect for a prince.” He flicked his mane as a cocky smirk formed on his muzzle. He stood proud until he felt a smack on the back of his head “OW! Who did that?!” He reached up to rub the back of his head when out of nowhere Discord appeared beside him. He looked up with a sneer “Oh, it was you.” He rolled his eyes.

“Don’t be so rude Ol’ Bluey, these two nice folks will be your bosses along with Pinky for the week.” The draconequus chuckled as he patted Blueblood’s head “So I suggest you start being more respectful to them or you might find yourself in a little trouble with the princesses.” He gave a sly smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked on confused as Cup Cake turned to Pinky “Pinky, dear what’s going on? You know we don’t treat royalty like this.” She gave a look of disappointment.

Pinkie simply waved a hoof “Don’t worry Mrs. Cake, it’s perfectly fine. To make a very, very, long story super short, Bluey here…”

“IT’S BLUEBLOOD!” The stallion snorted with frustration “GET IT RIGHT YOU IMBE…. OW!” This time, the former prince was clonked on the head with a frying pan by Discord. He reached up to rub at his head again “Alright, alright, enough of the hitting. I’ll stop!” He snarled.

Pinkie giggled “So Mr. and Mrs. Cake, if there is anything you need done this week, not only I will help you, but also Bluey will help as well!” She placed a foreleg around Blueblood’s neck “Isn’t that right Bluey?” She turned her head to look at him with the same ear-splitting smile.

Blueblood lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let out a heavy sigh “Yes.” He shook his head slowly as he looked up at the two owners “It will be my honor to do any task you ask of me Mr. and Mrs. Cake.” He gritted his teeth I better just do as I am told so that buffoon don’t clock me in the head with another object.

Cup Cake and her husband looked at each other curiously until an odorous scent touched their noses. She placed her hoof over her nose “Well, for starters, could you help change the young ones?” She pointed her free hoof at the babies.

Blueblood’s mouth dropped at the request “WHAT?! Me, a former prince change soiled diapers? I don’t… OOW!” Once again, Discord hit him over the head, this time with a rolled up newspaper. The stallion snarled “FINE!” He sighed heavily and trotted over to Pumpkin and Pound Cake, but once he got close he placed a hoof over his muzzle and gagged.

Discord chuckled as he looked down at Pinkie “Well my dear friend, I’ll be going for now, but if you need me for anything, just give me a whistle.” He was about to snap his paw when Pinky held up a hoof “Yes? What is it Pinkie?”

“Well, after Bluey gets done changing the kiddies, we got to deliver some desserts to a filly’s birthday party in Fillydelphia, and I was wondering if you would like to join? The more the merry merrier.” She giggled and started to hop in place.

Discord placed a talon up to his lips “Hmmm… go to a birthday party? That is intriguing my master party friend.” With a snap of his talon, a sly smile crept across his muzzle “I would love to join yall Pinkie! In fact I love the little ones, they are so cute and I know they will enjoy my showcase of tricks.” He reached down and shook Pinkie’s hoof “I shall return, I will go get ready for the party.” With a snap of his paw, he vanished.

Pinkie beamed happily as she hopped over to Blueblood, but she reached to scoop up Pumpkin Cake “Are you ready little, wittle Pumpkin to get your diapy changed?” She leaned in close to nuzzle at Pumpkin as she then put her on Blueblood’s back with the soiled diaper squishing against his body.

“Eww! Don’t place that dirty thing on me!” He gagged and coughed, but Pinkie ignored his plea as she scooped up Pound Cake next, and placed him on his back. Blueblood sighed heavily as he turned toward Pinkie “Where is the blasted changing room at?”

Pinkie hopped toward the staircase and waved a foreleg “Follow me!” She giggled and began hopping up the stairs, step by step.

The stallion simply huffed, but turned his head toward the infants on his back ‘Don’t you two try anything funny or I will put you in timeout for good. Do you understand..” Pumpkin giggled a little too much and a small amount of spit flew out of her mouth and into the former prince’s face. He gasped “Yuck!” He used his magic to levitate a napkin over to wipe off the spit “You little insolent little…. Ugh nevermind!” He sighed heavily and made his way upstairs.

As he got up to the top, he saw Pinkie waiting by the doorway tapping her hoof against the floor “It’s about time you slow poke! I thought you would never get here.” She giggled and hopped into the room.

Blueblood simply rolled his eyes as he followed her into the changing room. He looked around to notice that it was also the babies’ bedroom “Can we get this over with? These disgusting garments they have on are warm… and squishy, ech!” He turned his head in disgust.

Pinkie stuck her tongue out “Pfft! Forget Pumpkin and Pound Cake, you are a big baby yourself Bluey. Maybe you ought to wear a diaper.” She giggled as she went over to the supply closet to pull out some baby wipes, baby powder, baby lotion, and two fresh diapers. She trotted back over to the changing tables where Blueblood laid the infants.

Blueblood looked at the two laid out on the changing tables “Now what?” He asked with annoyance as he looked at Pinkie.

She giggled “First we got to remove the dirty diapers.” She sat on her haunches in front of Pound Cake “Like this.” She reached toward the sides of the diaper to untape it as it fell open.

Suddenly the stench of the urine and feces stained undergarment filled the room. The potent odor caused Blueblood to gag hard “YUCK! That is foul! How are you able…” He stopped as he saw Pinkie with a clothespin on her muzzle as she rolled the diaper up and tossed over into the dirty diaper pail “Ugh.. nevermind.”

Pinkie giggled as she looked at the stallion “Now it’s your turn.” She clapped her hooves.

Blueblood snorted “Fine, but I’m not doing this ever again!” He sat down on his haunches in front of Pound Cake and proceeded to remove the diaper as Pinkie done for Pumpkin Pie. However, as soon as the diaper fell open, Blueblood gasped in horror and turned his head “BLEH! I feel like I’m going to be sick!” He held his breath to try and prevent from vomiting.

He lifted his head to quickly roll up the diaper and trotted over toward the diaper pail. However, as he carried it, he saw it floating “What?! How is that happening?”

Pinkie looked over to see the horn of little Pumpkin Cake lit up and giggled. She leaned into whisper “Oh, you little, wittle cutie, what are you going to do?” She nuzzled Pumpkin’s cheek as the filly levitated the rolled up diaper over Blueblood’s head.

The stallion looked up “No..No.. NO… AAH!” Suddenly the diaper fell and split opened over the top of Blueblood’s head. A thick, brown goop poured out over the sides and front of the diaper onto the head, and face of the former prince. His face turned into a look of pure disgust and shock “AAH! GET THIS DISEASE RIDDEN DIAPER OF MY HANDSOME FACE!” He screamed and started to run around in a panicked state.

Uh..oh, time for my emergency water blaster! Pinke rushed over to the toy chest and rummaged through it until she pulled out a super water sprayer ‘Hold still Bluey!”

Blueblood stopped galloping around and started to trot in place “Hurry up, this is absolutely dis…. Blah..bleh..bluh!” Pinkie sprayed the stallion hard with her water sprayer to remove the dirty diaper and get rid of the feces off Blueblood’s face. He coughed and hacked as he was being drowned until Pinkie finally stopped “THANKS… FOR NEARLY DROWNING ME YOU FOOL!” He coughed up the remaining water.

“No problem ol’ pal!” Pinkie giggled as she placed the water soaker back into the toy chest. She skipped back over to Pumpkin Cake “Alright, now it is time to get them wiped up, lotioned, and powdered before we put the new diapers on.” She smiled brightly as Blueblood simply snorted.

He reached to grab a wipe to clean Pound Cake, but unexpectedly, Pound Cake of a sudden released a stream of urine that struck Blueblood right in the eye “AAAH! THAT BURNS!” He quickly grabbed at his eye and galloped out of the room “I CAN’T DO THIS!” He yelled and screamed in pain.

Pinkie gasped and looked at Pound Cake “Tsk..tsk..tsk, Pound Cake, did you do that on purpose?” She only received a giggle from the colt and she trotted over to him, nuzzling him on the cheek “Good job!” She reached up to pat his head “Now I guess I’ll finish cleaning you little, wittle ones up and putting your new, fresh diapers on.” She smiled warmly at the filly and colt, and proceeded to finish getting them cleaned up and diapered.

After she got them changed, Pinkie placed the two in their cribs to take a nap before going downstairs. She arrived in the parlor “Mr. and Mrs. Cake, do you have all the yummy treats ready for me to take to the birthday party?” As she looked around for the former prince “Also, where’s Bluey?”

“For the final time it’s…. Ugh, forget it!” Blueblood came trotting down stairs with his mane wrapped up in a fluffy towel “I was in the shower room to get the sickening pony waste off my body.” He smirked as he looked at Pinkie “Don’t you ever dare try to get me to do anything like that again!” He sneered.

Pinky simply patted him on the back “Don’t worry Bluey, I won’t, but I do have another task for you to do. Mr. and Mrs. Cake?” She called as the two patrons of Sugarcube Corner came in from the kitchen “Do you two have everything ready for the birthday party?” She beamed.

Blueblood looked at Pinkie confused “Wait, what do you have in mind for me next? Give those two little miscreants a bath or…AH!” Suddenly he was smacked across the face with a hoof from Mrs. Cake.

“Don’t you dare call our precious children miscreants you miserable excuse for a stallion!” Mrs. Cake furrowed her brows in anger “For that, you will be pulling the Sugarcube Corner Trolley that we use to deliver big orders such as the cake and cupcakes my husband baked.” She huffed with a firm nod.

Blueblood rubbed at his cheek “What am I, a regular labor mule to you all?!” He sneered as he felt a pat on the back again from Pinkie “Sweet Celestia, quit touching me!” He snorted at her.

“Yeppy, yep, yep!” She beamed and hopped out of the bakery where the trolley was waiting. The cake, cupcakes, boxed silverware, party decorations, and a sealed glass punch bowl was all loaded up on the cart “Oh wow! Mr. and Mrs. Cake, you did an amazing job!” She beamed happily and hopped over to the front of the trolley where there was a harness “Alright, Bluey come and put this on.”

The former prince drug his hooves along the ground over to the harness “Are you serious?! How can you make a refined gentleman like myself pull a heavily loaded cart like that?!” He chuckled cockily.

Pinkie shook her head disapprovingly ‘Well, I guess if you don’t want to, I will just have to tell the princess…”

“NO!” Blueblood put his hooves up and waved them frantically “Alright, I’ll do it!” He snarled as he trotted close to the harness and turned his back facing the cart “Put it on!” He sighed heavily.

Pinkie placed the harness over the shoulders of Blueblood and snapped them in place “Alright Bluey, we are ready to go celebrate a birthday for a special little filly!” She giggled as she turned to the Cakes “Bye Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I shall return soon!” She waved a hoof.

The couple returned the gesture “Do be careful dear?” Mrs. Cake gave a warm smile to her Sometimes, I often consider her my own daughter. She gave a small giggle.

“And Pinky, try not to eat all of the sweets at one time or get yourself in a mess like the last birthday party you were at.” Mr. Cake shook his head with a soft smirk That Pinkie can be such a crazy mare at times, but we love her.

Pinkie hopped along the trail “C’mon Bluey, let’s go have fun!” She beamed and started to hum a happy tune to herself as Blueblood simply rolled his eyes.

I hate kids! Now I wish I stayed on that farm. That old hag of a mare might have been hard to bathe, but at least it wasn’t as foul as those… brr.. It is best to just be forgotten! He sighed heavily as he trudged along the pathway behind Pinkie. Today was definitely going to be very unpleasant one for the former prince.

Author's Note

Yes, after nearly a year of not updating, Chapter Twenty Three is here! I hope you like it, because I want to make this time with Pinkie excruciating for Blueblood. Next chapter, we will catch up with how Timmy and Diamond Tiara is getting along. :twilightsmile: :raritywink:

Chapter Twenty-Four

Rich Manor - Five Years Ago

Ah.. very impressive. I am so proud that my father struck a deal with Granny Smith Apple to sell her zap apple jam at the store. I got to remember to write a check for half of the profits to give to her. Filthy Rich reviewed the sales records for the day at his bargain shop. A satisfied smile crept across his muzzle until a thundering noise interrupted his thoughts.

“Diamond Sapphire Tiara! You get back here this instant young filly!” Spoiled Rich demanded as her daughter ran upstairs crying hysterically. The mare clinched an eye as she heard the filly slam her door Ehh.. why won’t she understand that I’m trying to do what’s best for her. She rubbed at her forehead as a heavy sigh escaped her lips.

Filthy quickly put his sales records folder in his filing cabinet before trotting out into the living room. He saw as his wife standing at the bottom of the stairs “Honey, what’s the matter? Why did Diamond run in crying like a newborn foal?” He looked curiously at his wife.

“Did you know that our sophisticated daughter was talking to that filthy, lower class filly of those apple farmers?” She turned to glare at her husband “Honestly Filthy, why do we still do business with those… those commoners?”

“Now Spoiled dear, don’t be speaking about the Apples like that. You know that their contributions are their reason why the bargain shop is succeeding.” He shook his head in disappointment “And if Diamond wants to spend time with the young filly of the family, then why should it be a bother?”

“Don’t you remember I deliberately told you Filthy that we should’ve sent her to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns!” Spoiled threw her forehooves in the air “But no, you wanted to send her to the second rate school of Ponyville Elementary which I am ashamed to be the head of the school board!” She turned to trot toward the parlor.

Filthy Rich rubbed at his forehead “Listen to me sweetheart, you know that we couldn’t send Diamond to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, because of the fact we live here in Ponyville. How would we have been able to get her to the school?”

“I would have found a way Filthy!” Spoiled scowled “She would have been better off learning what it is to be a true, refined lady than to learn how to add numbers or do stupid art projects!” She stomped her hoof against the floor.

Filthy gasped at hearing his wife “Spoiled Rich! How can you say something like that? You know that we are raising our daughter not only to be a respectful, responsible young mare, but also to receive a great education, and Ponyville Elementary has some of the finest, smartest fillies and colts I can recall.”

Spoiled flicked her mane with a roll of her eyes “This is useless talking to you Filthy. If you are unable to realize what is truly right for our daughter, and can’t see her true potential, then I’m leaving!” She scoffed and trotted toward the door. As she opened it, she turned back to Filthy “I’ll be at my mother’s when you finally come to your senses!” She trotted out with a slam of the door.

Filthy closed his eyes Oh, what am I ever going to do with that woman?

Rich Manor - Present Day

Princess Luna sat across from Filthy Rich was they were sharing a pot of mint tea as he was telling the story “After Spoiled Rich left, I believe it had a profound effect of Diamond” He sighed heavily as he turned his head “She felt that she not only lost the respect of her mother, but also the love of her mother.”

“Oh dear, I truly am sorry to hear that Mr. Rich.” Luna frowned as she sipped at her tea “Doesn’t she at least spend time with her mother at all since Mrs. Rich is the head of the school board?” She looked at the stallion curiously.

Filthy sipped his tea with a nod “Yes she does your majesty. When I am away at work, I always allow her to go over to her grandmother’s to stay with her mother until I get off.” As he placed his cup on the table, he looked at Luna with a firm look “Yet your majesty, I believe my wife is trying to manipulate Diamond into being just like her. Teaching her to look down upon other ponies that doesn’t fit her criteria of refined stallions and mares.” He shook his head disappointingly.

Luna finished her tea and cleared her throat “Well, please forgive me for asking this Mr. Rich, but have you considered on maybe getting a divorce from Mrs. Rich?” She looked at Filthy with sympathy.

Filthy looked at the princess in shock at the question “Y-your majesty, with all do respect, I could never even contemplate about doing that to my wife! Yes, I know she has been a tyrant as of late, but I still love her!” He calmed himself from shock as another thought ran through his mind “Yet, I do believe the best thing for Diamond is for her to learn how to respect others, no matter the social status.”

Luna looked at him with understanding “I know she needs her mother in her life Mr. Rich, but I also do believe that your wife may need some.. Well, if I am not overstepping my boundaries, but some therapy with how she acts toward others.” She looked at him awkwardly.

“Oh, absolutely not your highness! She wouldn’t even think about going for that!” Filthy Rich waved her hoof “That is out of the question, but I do appreciate your advice on divorcing from my wife. I will take that into consideration.” He gave a warm smile as he stood up from his chair along with Princess Luna.

Luna returned the smile as she trotted toward the door followed by Filthy “If you need any help with that if you go through it Mr. Rich, I could assist you in finding a family lawyer.” She gave a warm smile as she opened the door.

“I will keep that in mind your majesty, thank you.” He gave a bow of his head “Thank you for your time in listening to my tale. Also, I would like to apologize again for how my daughter treated your son. I hope with this punishment that we came up with will maybe help Diamond treat not only your son, but also other ponies with respect and kindness.” He gave a hopeful smile.

Luna patted him on the shoulder “I believe this will work Mr. Rich and I forgive you. The behavior of your daughter has apparently been enabled by Mrs. Rich.” She sighed softly “Just if you ever need me, I’ll be more than happy to offer my assistance. For now I must bid you farewell.” She gave a warm smile and a nod before trotting out of Rich Manor.

Filthy waved a hoof at the princess as she left before shutting the door. He took in a deep breath Well, it might be time for me to get ready for a confrontation with Spoiled.

Ponyville Elementary

As they arrived at the school, Timmy couldn’t help but look at Diamond worriedly after what happened with the colt from earlier. He swallowed nervously “Diamond Tiara, are you okay? That pony was mean talking to you like that.” He frowned as he carefully placed his hand on her shoulder.

Diamond tensed up at the touch of his hand, but she took in a calming breath “Timmy, I’m really trying my hardest not to be mean to you, so just please leave me alone. I’m okay, so don’t you worry about me. Let’s just get this day over with, okay?” She shrugged his hand off and trotted ahead.

Timmy frowned I wish there was something I could do to help her. I know she has been mean to me, but I don’t like seeing someone sad. A light, sad sigh escaped as he felt a weight on his shoulders. He turned to see Scootaloo “Hi Scootaloo.” He gave a soft smile trying to cheer up for his friends.

“Hey little dude, we saw you with Diamond Tiara. How come were you two coming to school together?” The pegasus filly looked at him curiously “She wasn’t trying to mess with you again or make you carry her books for her, was she?”

Timmy shook his head “Oh, no Scootaloo. I told Momma about what Diamond Tiara said to me and we went to talk with her daddy.”

“Oh gosh, Ah hope it went well little buddy.” Applebloom along with Sweetie Belle trotted up to the two “He didn’t seem too upset with ya, did he?”

“No Applebloom. Mr. Rich and Momma came up with a punishment for Diamond Tiara that she will have to accompany me to school, and be nice to me from now on.” He gave a soft smile.

“Oh wow! Filthy Rich punishing his daughter?!” Sweetie Belle gasped “That is great though, because she needs to be taught a lesson.” The other two cmcs chuckled.

The school bell started to ring “Well, let’s go in Timmy before. I wonder what Miss Cheerilee has to teach us today.” Scootaloo thought as the four entered into the schoolhouse.

As they sat down at their desks Miss Cheerilee had a beaming smile on her muzzle “Good morning class! Today, I have a special announcement. As you all know, the Summer Harvest Festival is approaching and it is time to for us to come together and build the Summer Harvest Parade floats!” She looked at the class “Now I’ll pair you up in groups of three.”

The CMC cheered “We will work together Miss Cheerilee!” They said in unison.

Miss Cheerilee chucked “I figured you three would want to work together, so it wasn’t difficult coming up to pair you three together.” She then though “Now let’s see, Diamond Tiara, you will team up with of course Silver Spoon and your partner will be…”

Please don’t pick the kid. Diamond Tiara closed her eyes taking in short hesitant breaths.

“Timmy!” Cheerilee exclaimed as she looked at the boy “Now Timmy, since this is your first festival parade you will be apart of, you just have fun and enjoy yourself, okay?”

Timmy nodded “Yes Miss Cheerilee, I will.” He then turned around to look at Diamond who had a scowl on her face, causing him to swallow nervously She doesn’t look happy that I am her partner.

Diamond sighed heavily Great, not only do I have to accompany the little run to school as part of my punishment, but now I have to work with him on the float. This is going to be a real pain in the flank.

Author's Note

:pinkygasp: It looks like that Diamond Tiara along with her besty are going to have to learn to work with Timmy. Also, Filthy Rich has a lot to think about. I know this chapter was shorter than the last one, but don't worry, it's going to get better from here :raritywink:

Chapter Twenty-Five

Fillydelphia

As Blueblood, Pinkie Pie, and Discord arrived at the metropolis, the former prince slowly trudged along the streets, panting heavily. Beads of sweat trickled down his snout “How much farther do we have to go until we reach the wretched little brat’s house?” He grunted as Discord hit him over the head with a rolled up newspaper “OW! What was that for?!”

Discord snapped his talons and a bar of soap suddenly appeared. He lowered his head down to look the stallion dead in the eyes “Next time I hear you speak of such dear little tikes like that again, I will wash your mouth out with this.” He showed the bar of soap.

“Ugh… who do you think you are? I’m not a child you moronic… MMMPH!” Blueblood was silenced without warning as Discord shoved the bar of soap into the former prince’s maw.

“I warned you Bluey, but typically you don’t ever listen!” Discord tsked as he started to scrub the soap against Blueblood’s teeth, along the inside of cheeks, and along his gum lines. After a couple more minutes, he took the bar of soap out of the stallion’s mouth “Do you have anything bad to say now?” He chuckled with a smirk.

“Pu..pu..pu! You imbecile!” Blueblood hacked on the soap as he looked around seeing a fountain nearby. He galloped over to it and plunged his head into the water, taking in huge gulps of water. He lifted head out to gasp in some air “Blasted creature!” He turned around to face Discord with his nostrils flaring.

“Ooh, touchy!” Discord crossed his arms as he turned toward Pinkie “So Pinkie, how much farther until we get to the cute little tyke’s house?” He twiddled his fingers as he looked at mare curiously.

Pinkie looked at the address she written down “1540 Saddleridge Way! We’re here!” She beamed with joy “Put on your party hats boys, we are about to make a lucky filly’s day with the Best… Birthday…. Bash… Ever!” She exploded up in the air like a firework causing Blueblood to jump at being startled.

For Aunt Celestia’s sake! If it won’t be of old age, this pink nightmare will certainly be the cause of my death. Blueblood shook his head, letting out a heavy sigh “Oh goody! This ought to be a jolly good time!” He mockingly threw his hoof in a jubilant manner.

Pinkie walked up to the door of the quaint looking home and knocked I hope they’re home and we didn’t come too late. She bit her lower lip nervously, but the door slowly opened “Yes who is it?” A light yellow coated mare with a sky blue mane and tail answered with a warm smile on her muzzle.

“Yes Ma’am, is this the home of the Mint Family?” Pinkie gave a hopeful smile that she was at the right place.

“Oh, yes it is! You must be Pinkie Pie, the party pony extraordinaire as spoken of in the ad in newspaper.” The mare extended a fore hoof “My name is Daisy Mint, my husband Jacques Mint is currently at work so he won’t be able to attend the party, and my daughter Sugary Mint is out back with her friends.” Daisy gave a warm smile.

Pinkie reached out her hoof to shake Daisy’s “It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Mint, and you are correct. I am Pinkie Pie, the best party pony planner in all of Equestria!” She let out a giggle as she gave a big grin “And I brought my two assistants with me today to help make this the best birthday party that your little filly has ever had!” She motioned toward Discord and Blueblood.

With a flick of his bearpaw, Discord appeared in front of Daisy suddenly wearing a tuxedo with top hat, with her hoof in his paw “Hello thou dear Madam, thy name is Discord, the marvelous and magnificent.” He gave a sly smile, wink, and kissed her hoof “Would a beautiful lady like yourself appreciate this?” With a snap of his talons, a pink rose appeared and he presented it to Daisy.

“Well, my aren’t you a charming fellow.” Daisy placed a hoof against her chest and accepted the rose “I thank you my good Sir.” She gave a warm smile as she carefully stepped outside and shut the door “Now if you three follow me, the party is just in the backyard.” She led the way.

“Alright boys, let’s go give this young filly and her friends the best darn birthday bash on this side of Equestria!” She screamed with joy as she starting to sing a happy tune to herself while skipping toward the backyard.

Oy vey, does this pony not have an off switch? Blueblood sighed heavily as he trotted toward the back, lugging the cart with all the party stuff on it.

In the backyard, there were a group of fillies and colts who were sitting at a couple picnic tables set out looking bored out of their minds. Pinkie frowned when she saw this but suddenly spoke up “Hello fillies and colts!” She cartwheeled to the seated children “I am Pinkie Pie, Equestria’s number party pony, and I am here for a special little filly’s special day!”

The kids started to clap their hooves together “It’s mine Miss Pinkie, it’s my birthday!” A red coated filly with blonde mane and tail waved her hoof excitedly “My name is Sugary Mint, and these are all my friends!” She motioned toward two colts and two fillies who were with her.

Pinkie beamed “Well, it is a great pleasure to meet you and your friends Sugary Mint.” She motioned to her own friend Discord “And this is…”

“Hello kiddies! I am the one, the only, the magical, the mysterious, and if I may add, quite dashing Master of Chaos, but fun chaos…” Discord waves his arm in front of his face covered by a cape “I am Discord!” He chuckled and with the snap of his talon, he magically made all of the party supplies on the cart appear on the picnic table in front of the young children’s eyes.

The colts and fillies gasped at the show of magic, but clapped excitedly “Oh that was so cool!” One colt exclaimed “Do some more Mister Discord, do some more!” Sugary looked up at the draconequus with a bright, hopeful smile.

Discord chuckled, reaching out to pat each them on the head “Don’t you worry little ones, there is plenty of magic to be performed.” He gave a wink as he snapped his paw causing Blueblood to vanish in a flash, and then reappear in a lion costume.

“WHAT IN TARTARUS?! WHAT DID YOU DO….MMPPH!” Discord silenced Blueblood by sealing his muzzle with an airtight muzzle yet with a few breath holes in it.

“Sorry kids, but the lion seems to be a little on edge.” Snapping his talon, the draconequus appeared in a lion tamer’s suit with a whip in his talon “But don’t worry boys and girls, Discord the great and fearless lion tamer shall get this beast under control.’ He chuckled as grinned mischievously at the helpless former prince.

“MMPH!” Blueblood muffled screamed as he shook his fore hooves frantically as he looked around for somewhere to run to. He turned to gallop away but was held by some sort of magical force, only to find out that Discord had him by the tail of the suit.

“Nuh uh, you aren’t going anywhere Bluey!” Discord held the tail tightly in his bearpaw as he turned to look over at the children “Hey kiddies, who would like to see this lion jump through a flaming hoop?” He snickered.

“I would, I would!” The group of young ones all cheered, raising their hooves enthusiastically with glee in their eyes to the dismay of Blueblood.

The stallion grunted, glaring angrily at Discord “Mph...Mph…Grr.” He was met with a sudden snap of the whip against his flank, causing him to leap into the air.

“Now then Bluey, get ready to put on a show for these little ones!” He snapped the whip near the former prince and with a snap of his paw a set of three rings surrounded with flaming hot, fiery flames appeared before Blueblood.

This is simply preposterous! Yet, if I don’t do what these buffoons order me to, then maybe I won’t ever be released from the dungeons of Canterlot. Blueblood seethed as the thought roamed through his mind, but he leaned back on his haunches, and took a powerful leap forward, passing through each ring of fire. As he landed on the ground he smiled triumphantly Haha.. I did it.. I shut those two idi…. Aaah!” He turned around to see that the backside of the suit was on fire, and he started to run around in circles.

“Uh oh kiddies, it looks like we have a fire to put out!” Pinkie gasped as she looked at the children who was all giggling at the sight. She quickly pulled out a fire extinguisher and aimed it at, releasing a stream of whipped cream all over Blueblood, extinguishing the flames. Pinkie chuckled “Nothing better to put out a fire than a fire extinguisher filled with sweet, delicious, yummy, freshly made whipped cream!” She licked at the nozzle.

Discord scratched his head, but clapped “Bravo my dear Pinkie Pie! That was certainly clever, wasn’t it kids?” The children giggled and clapped as they started to eat the birthday cake. “Now little ones, don’t forget to wash your cake down with some of Pinkie Pie’s super, duper, power punch!” He snapped his talon, making plastic cups appear filled with Pinkie’s Party Punch in front of the children.

With everyone distracted, Blueblood decided to make a break for it. He was weak to stand up, but was able to trot toward the gate, yet suddenly he felt himself being stopped ‘What in the…” He felt himself suddenly floating off the ground.

“Oh, you aren’t leaving already, are you Ol’ Bluey?” Discord gave a mock frown “The fun has just begun!” He chuckled as he levitated Blueblood back to the center of the yard and turned toward the kids “Hey kiddies, how would you like to play a game?”

“Oh I would… I would!” They were all raising their little hooves, gleefully cheering.

“Oooh, what kind of game do you have in mind Discord?” Pinkie looked at the draconequus intensely with a wide grin. She then looked up at Blueblood being held up by a large collection of different colored balloons, except only one was red,and it was in the center.”Ooh, hehe..haha… this is going to be fun!” She clapped her hooves.

“What the tartarus are you thinking of you neanderthal?!” Blueblood sneered as he futilely kicked his legs in the air “Let me down this instant!” He growled but was suddenly silenced with an apple in his maw “Mmph...mph!” He muffled angrily.

“Now my little tykes, the rules of this game is very simple. Just make sure you pop all of the balloons, except for the red one, because the red one is filled with something very unpleasant for our Ol’ Bluey boy.” He chuckled as he snapped his bear paw, making a pair of blowguns made of safety straws for the kids “You all can use these to shoot at the balloons. They are filled with marbles so to really make them go ‘POP’!” He exclaimed.

Pinkie grinned at the excitement the colts and fillies were showing “Oh this is the best sounding game I’ve ever heard of Discord!” She clapped her hooves as she looked at the kids “Alright little ones, on the count of three.. One…. Two…. Three… Fire!” She threw her foreleg down like a flag and the children started to fire their marbles.

“EEK!” Blueblood frantically started to kick his legs faster, but found himself held in some kind of aura “What is going on, why can’t I move?!” He looked down to see the kids shooting their marbles at him, some connecting with the balloons “Ow! Oo! Ee!” While some were connecting with his face and body.

“Pop! Pop! Pop!” One by one, each of the balloons was being popped causing Blueblood to approach the ground quickly “STOP THIS INSTANT YOU INSOLENT LITTLE MISCREANTS!” Blueblood sneered at the kids, causing them to freeze in fear at his anger.

Pinkie bit her lower lip nervously at seeing this, but then furrowed her brows “How dare you speak to such cutie little wittle ones, you big mean, meanie pants!” Pinky looked at her friend “Discord, give me a blowgun!” In a flash one appeared her hoof as she aimed it at the red balloon and shot her marble.

“SPLAT!” Suddenly a brown liquid poured out all over the former prince as he finally fell to the ground with a thud “EEK! What is this toxic mess?!”

Pinkie looked up at Discord curiously “Chocolate syrup?”

Discord simply twiddled his fingers “Well… um… not exactly.” He chuckled as he leaned down to the pink pony “Let’s just say it’s going to take a while for him to get the stench out of his mane and coat.” He chuckled.

The kids could smell the stench from their table “EW!” They said collectively as they placed their hooves over their muzzles.

“BLEGH!” Blueblood saw that he was covered in poop from whatever source it came from and snarled at Discord “YOU IDIOT!” He charged at the draconequus.

Discord pulled out a red matador cape “Toro, toro Ol’ Bluey!” He lifted it up once Blueblood reached him “Now kids, watch the Discord the Daring take this bull by the horns!” He waved the cape again “C’mon Bluey, you got to have more in you than that.” He chuckled as the stallion turned around and charged again, missing the cape again “Olay!” Discord smiled widely, earning a cheer from Pinkie and the kids.

Blueblood panted as he came to a slow halt “You imbecile! I’m going to make you wish you never was born!” He turned around with a scowl of anger on his face.

“Ooh, such big words from such a former pony of royalty.” Discord taunted as he sashayed around as he earned another cheer and giggle from the young party goers.

“That’s it!” Blueblood kicked the ground roughly with his fore hooves “It’s time to finish you!” He let out an angry snort and charged at Discord once again.

With the snap of his talon, Discord suddenly caught Blueblood in a wooden stockade “Ah.. I don’t think so Ol’ Bluey old pal.” The draconequus snickered as he patted Blueblood on the head.

“What?!” The stallion struggled to get out, but his forehooves and head was held firmly in place within the slots of the stockade. He grunted “GET ME OUT OF THIS DARN CONTRAPTION NOW YOU BUFFOON!” He kicked his hind legs wildly

Pinkie along with the kids started laughing hysterically “Oh, hoo...hoo.. This is so fun!” She exclaimed until a thought came to her mind “Oh I know what could make this even more fun kids.” She giggled as she turned to Discord “Discord, could you make some pies for us?” She giggled gleefully.

“Order of pies coming right up my dear pink one.” Discord snapped his bearpaw and in a flash a row of pies appeared before the kids.

“Oh, I know what we are going to do with these Miss Pinkie.” Sugary Mint grinned happily “We are going to throw them at that mean old mister, aren’t we?” She looked up at Pinkie hopefully.

With an exasperated nod “Indeedy little one!” Pinky held up her pie in her hoof “Now grab your pies kids.” They obliged as they each lifted their pies “Aim!” Pinkie aimed her pie at Blueblood along with the young ones “Fire!” Suddenly a wall of pies came flying toward the restrained, helpless Blueblood.

“NOO! AAH!” Blueblood felt the pies hit him from every direction, blueberry pies, strawberry pies, every kind of pie a pony could think of. After the onslaught of pies was over with, Blueblood spit out chunks of fruit and crust “Peh..peh.. This is beyond humiliating, this is… this is… Eh, forget it.” He lowered his head in shame.

Discord used his magic to get the stallion out of the stockade, but instead of letting him free, he sat him up on a plank above a pool of water. He looked toward the colts and fillies “Alright kids, how does the game of Bullseye sound?” He chuckled with a mischievous grin.

“Bullseye Mister Discord?” A colt looked at him quizzically as he looked over at Blueblood in his current position “Oh wait I’ve seen one of those before. It’s called a dunking booth.” The colt giggled happily.

“Ooh, another very awesome idea Discord!” Pinky rubbed her hooves together and passes out small sized baseballs to each colt and filly. She held a ball in her hoof as well “Instead of going by the regular rules little ones, I suggest we all throw our balls at the same time and see if one lands. How does that sound?” They all nodded happily and got ready to throw their balls.

Blueblood looked down at the pool of water, and then at the kids ready to throw their balls “Don’t you dare even think about it you little brats! If you do you will be ultimately puni...aaah!” Suddenly he felt the plank underneath him give way, and he went plummeting into the ice, cold water. He flailed in the water until he popped his head out “Bbrr! For the love of all Equestria, that is cold!”

“Don’t worry Bluey, I’ll warm it up for you.” Discord smirked as he snapped his talon, causing the cold water to suddenly start boiling like water in a cauldron. Discord snickered “Is that better Bluey buddy?”

“That feels more like it now. Than...YEOW!” Blueblood let out a yelp of pain, shooting out of the pool of boiling water and back onto the ground, skidding around on his flank.

“HAHAHA!” The kids, Pinkie Pie, and Discord all erupted with laughter at the embarrassed former prince.

Blueblood finally stood up with a deep scowl on his face “THAT’S IT! Aunt Celestia and Aunt Luna can lock me in the dungeon as long as they want! I rather spend eternity behind those cold wet bars than last one more day with you two simple minded, infantile twits!” He snarled heavily at Pinkie Pie and Discord.

“Aww… don’t be like that Bluey. I believe all you need is a hug.” Pinkie Pie bounced toward the stallion with her forelegs opened wide to embrace him.

“RRAGH!” Blueblood roared with annoyance “GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PINK MENACE!” He turned around and galloped away as fast as his legs could carry him.

“Was it something I said?” Pinkie shrugged her shoulders, but giggled happily “I knew this party would drive that mean, meanie pants insane.”

The kids giggled as Sugary Mint walked up to Pinkie Pie and hugged at her neck “Oh Miss Pinkie Pie, this has been the best birthday party I’ve ever had! Thank you so much!”

Pinkie Pie picked the filly up in her forelegs and twirled around “Aww.. don’t mention it you little wittle cutie! I always make sure my parties are never forgotten!” She nuzzled Sugary Mint’s cheek.

The rest of the colts and fillies surrounded her, hugging her. Then they turned their attention to Discord as they all ran up and tacked him “Thank you too Mr. Discord!” They said in unison.

Discord chuckled as the kids embraced him “Haha… of course little ones, Discord loves kids!” He patted each of them on the head.

Pinkie sighed happily as she watched the sight, but had a thought run through her mind I wonder who will be next to give Blueblood a fun time like Discord and I did today.

Meanwhile, Blueblood was frantically galloping through the streets of Fillydelphia, trying to get as far away from Discord and Pinkie Pie as he could. He finally stopped on the edge of the town, breathing heavily I can’t take no more. I have to find that child of Aunt Luna’s and apologize, because if I don’t.. I’d rather not think about it. I just know I can’t survive any longer with that pink parasite!

Author's Note

After nearly a year, I have finally written and completed Chapter Twenty - Five! :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy: Next chapter we will catch up with Diamond Tiara and Timmy to see if Timmy can break some sort of ground with Diamond and the two can start communicating. I am so sorry though it has been so long since doing this chapter :fluttershysad:

Chapter Twenty-Six

Ponyville Elementary School

The school bell rang “Alright class, remember to get started on your floats as soon as you get home. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with for this year’s Summer Harvest Festival.” Cheerilee beamed as the children started to file out of the schoolhouse.

As Diamond was heading out of the doorway, trying to keep one step ahead of Timmy “Hey Diamond, wait up.” Silver Spoon was galloping toward the door as she was getting the last bit of her things until she bumped into the human child “Out of the way dweeb!” She caused Timmy to drop his books as she left the schoolhouse.

Diamond chuckled at the sight & held out a hoof for her friend “Nice job Silver!” Both fillies gave each other a hoof bump. Both of them looked back at the fallen child as he was trying to get up “Such a loser.. I can’t believe…”

“Diamond Sapphire Tiara!” Diamond cringed as she turned to see Spoiled Rich standing a few feet away from her with a look of disapproval upon her muzzle. Spoiled started to trot toward the two fillies ‘What do you think you are doing young lady & you too Silver Spoon?”

“Mother, what are you doing here?” Diamond looked up at her mother confused “I thought you were away on a business trip?”

“Well sweetheart, I was & I wasn’t, but for now I need you two to come with me.” She trotted back toward the schoolhouse & entered the classroom, clearing her throat “Mmhmm..Afternoon Miss Cheerilee.”

The mare turned around as she was helping Timmy back up “Oh, afternoon Mrs. Rich.” She gave a slight smile as she turned back to Timmy “Are you alright dear?” The boy nodded as he gathered his books to leave.

“Wait dear child, may I take a look at you?” Spoiled Rich carefully placed a hoof on his shoulder as Timmy looked up at her.

“Yes Ma’am, is something wrong?” The boy looked up at her curiously as a look of shock crept across the mare’s face.

“Oh my, you…” Spoiled turned toward her daughter & Silver Spoon “Girls, here now!” She stomped her hoof on the floor “You two apologize to this young dear now! I saw you Silver Spoon push him while you dashed out of the door, & Diamond, you just stood there & watched.” She looked at the two fillies with disapproval.

“But mother...I” Diamond attempted to argue, but was silenced with Spoiled stomping against the floor again.

“No buts young lady! You will apologize & apologize now!” She pointed at the child with a hoof to motion for the fillies to apologize.

Silver Spoon hung her head “I am sorry Timmy for pushing you & knocking you down.” She let out a slight,disappointed huff.

“I am sorry Timmy for laughing at you when Silver Spoon knocked you down.” She turned her head to the side so her mother wouldn’t see & huffed angrily.

Spoiled Rich looked at them “Hmph… I feel those weren’t sincere enough young ladies, but we will work on that.” She then turned toward Timmy & placed a hoof on his shoulder “Dear, you don’t know, but I’ve seen you before.” She turned her head a bit, closing her eyes tightly. She took in a deep breath & exhaled, turning back to look back at the child “Dear child, I have a lot of explaining to do, but do you think that your mother, Princess Luna would allow an old mare the opportunity to speak with her?” She rubbed at his shoulder gently.

Timmy looked up curiously at her, but nodded “Yes Ma’am. I will talk with Mommy to see if she would let you talk with her.” He gave her a warm smile.

“Thank you Timmy, dear.” Spoiled Rich turned to trot look at the two fillies “Silver Spoon go home to your parents, & Diamond honey, we are going to go see your father.” Before she trotted out of the door, she turned to Cheerilee “Miss Cheerilee, I know it has been a tradition as long as Ponyville Elementary been here, but for just this year I am going to cancel the Summer Harvest Festival.”

A collective gasp escaped from everyone’s mouth as Cheerilee looked at Spoiled Rich with a look of pure shock “Cancel the Summer Harvest Festival?! But Miss Rich, the kids are excited about getting started on their floats.” A frown then etched across the mare teacher’s face.

With a light chuckle Spoiled gave a smirk “Oh, don’t worry Miss Cheerilee, let the kids know that they can still make their floats, but it is going to be a whole different celebration.” With a wink she turned to trot out of the schoolhouse followed by Diamond Tiara while Silver Spoon left to go home.

Rich Manor

“So, that is why I have decided to return to right all of my wrongs I have done in the past dear.” Spoiled Rich was laying across a luxurious satin red sofa in the reading room talking with her mate “I need to make things right with those I have had hurt in the past with my behavior.” She drank at some freshly made hot tea.

“Well sugar, I am proud of you wanting to do this, & I wish I was there when that awful excuse for a stallion done that to you.” Filthy Rich shook his head at the thought of the story he just heard from his mate. He drank at his cup of hot tea “Also, I am glad that you have come to terms that it is good for our daughter to attend Ponyville Elementary where she can interact with other children.” A warm smile crept across his muzzle.

“Yes, I guess I just wanted Diamond to experience the best that life has to offer that I was blinded to the fact the best she could be offered is great friendships & a great education at her current school.” Spoiled smiled warmly & placed the cup on the coffee table “Thank you dear for allowing me this chance to tell you my tale. Now, I must take my leave so I can head to Canterlot to speak with royal sisters.” She got up & trotted out of the library.

“Good luck honey, I hope everything turns out alright & he gets what is coming to him.” He gave her a wink before waving a hoof to her.

As she trotted out of Rich Manor, a sly smirk crept across Spoiled Rich’s muzzle. Prince Blueblood, what you done to me I can get over, but what you done to that little boy & tried to get me involved, that was too much. I promise, once you see what I have in store for you, you are going to wish that you were never born into royalty. Like they say Blueblood, Tartarus hath no fury as a mare scorned!

Author's Note

Hello everyone! I am so, so, so sorry for such a long, long delay on this chapter, but I have finally done it. I know it is shorter than all the others, but I promise what I have in store for the last few chapters, it is going to be exciting. :rainbowkiss:

Let's just say what Bluebood has endured thus far, you have not seen anything yet! :raritystarry: Next chapter we will see what has Spoiled Rich turn over a new leaf.

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Canterlot Castle

As Spoiled Rich stood before the royal sisters, she bowed her head “Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to meet with you Princess Celestia & Princess Luna.” She lifted her head to look at them with a warm smile. She sat on her haunches as she took in a deep breath “The reasoning for me requesting an audience of both of you is I have heard about Prince Blueblood’s rather peculiar punishment.” She giggled with a smirk forming on her muzzle.

“Yes dear, my sister & I have decided to make him appreciate & respect the hard work that all of the ponies in our land put forth to make this land thrive.” Celestia nodded.

“Yes sister, but we have also decided to punish him for what he has done with my precious son, Timmy.” Luna sighed as she lowered her head to close her eyes for a second before opening them to look at Spoiled Rich “You see dear Spoiled Rich, that good for nothing nephew of mine decided to take it upon himself to abduct my adopted son & try to murder him by trying to manipulate a mare into doing it for him.” She sighed heavily.

A frown etched across Spoiled Rich’s muzzle “I am so sorry to learn about what happened with your son at the hooves of that scum!” She turned her head sneering at the thought of Blueblood. She took a deep breath before turning her head back to look at the royal sisters, but with a look of regret “That is another reason why I requested to speak with both of you.” A shallow gulp traveled down her throat.

“What is it dear? You can tell us whatever is on your heart.” Luna gave a courteous bow of her head as Celestia nodded with agreement.

Spoiled looked at both royal sisters with a heavy sigh “Well your highnesses, you see…”

Downtown Canterlot - Prince Blueblood’s Residence (Two Years Ago)

“Blueblood, this is insane! Kidnapping the son of one of the princesses of Equestria?! What in Tartarus were you thinking?” Spoiled turned her back toward Blueblood as she looked at the tied up child. She trotted over to him as he was trembling & whimpering “Shh..it is okay little one, I’ll...Ah!”

“Get your hooves off him Spoiled! The little abomination is mine to handle, not yours!” Blueblood forcefully turned her around to face him “If my aunts won’t see what atrocities & destruction that this creature will bring to this land, then I will show them!” He pushed her out of the way to shove the child back into the sack & used his magic to tie it up to put on his back.

“No you don’t. He is just an innocent colt!” Spoiled tried to grab at the bag but Blueblooed struck her in the face with a hoof, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud.

“If you won’t help me get rid of this abomination Spoiled, then I will find a true, loyal, & devoted mare that will!” Blueblood added extra torment by kicking Spoiled in the side to keep her down “And if you dare think about coming after me, then I will make sure to make your life miserable!” He spit on her fallen form before departing his home.

Canterlot Castle (Present)

The royal sisters gasped at the story they just heard & Luna trotted down to place a hoof on Spoiled Rich’s shoulder “My dear, we are sincerely sorry that Blueblood done that to you, but we would like to thank you for attempting your best to save our son from Blueblood when he abducted him.”

“There is no need to thank me, your highness. I wish I could have prevented it in the first place, but I am just so glad that he is safe & I heard thanks to Trixie the Great.” She smirked “Also, I heard that he was being punished by being the personal servant of each of your Elements of Harmony, am I correct?”

“That is right my dear.” Celesita nodded “He should be on his way back to the castle soon with Pinkie Pie. It was her time with him.” She nudged Luna ‘And I hear that Pinkie really put him through the ringer today sister.” She chuckled.

“Oh good, I am sure Pinkie showed him a real good time with her partying behavior.” Luna gave a light chuckle.

“Well, I know that he may have to spend a day or two with the rest of the Elements of Harmony, but I have been coming up with a plan to get some revenge of mine on the scum.” Spoiled bowed her head to the royal sisters.

Celestia & Luna looked at each other curiously before turning their attention to the mare “What may that plan be my dear?” Celestia asked with a smile.

Spoiled gave a smirk “Well, I will wait for the Elements of Harmony to come, because it will involve all of them, but also the children at Diamond Tiara & Timmy’s school. I have decided for all that Blueblood has not only put me through, but young Timmy, & quite frankly the whole land of Equestria through, he deserves a proper, well-deserved punishment.” A smirk crept across her muzzle.

“We believe we would like to hear more of this plan of yours dear Spoiled Rich.” Luna smiled as her & Celestia both listened closely to Spoiled Rich.

Author's Note

I know this is a short chapter, but I want to build up to the final chapter, because Prince Blueblood is going to get something he is not expecting & it is going to be enjoyable to see his suffering of what is going to happen.

Chapter One

Nightfall had arrived in the land of Equestria, as the princess of the night; Princess Luna stood outside on the balcony of Canterlot Castle, and raised her moon against the starry sky. She inhaled the evening air as she watched over the land, making sure that no danger was lurking around. Ah… a peaceful night. I guess I will go back inside. As she was about to trot back into the castle, she could sense there was something wrong.

She turned her attention back towards the vast land, trying to find out what was bothering her. She closed her eyes to concentrate, and her ears twitched as she could hear the mind of a young colt. Oh dear, it sounds like the little on is hurt. She kept her eyes closed, and concentrated deeply.

When she opened them, she found herself in an environment unfamiliar to her. Where am I? She looked around see the room she was in was spacious, occupied with furniture and other objects that were odd to the royal blue alicorn; such as a television set with entertainment center. Her wonder was cut short when she heard a painful cry.

“Ow! Please daddy and mommy, please stop!” The sharp cry tore through Luna’s ears, and she immediately galloped up a set of stairs in the direction of the small, hurt voice.

She followed the sound until she came upon a small room, where she spotted two tall creatures unknown to her, and they were looming over something, preventing Luna from seeing. She saw one of them raise a fore leg, and brought it down with force.

“OW! Hu… hu…hu… please mommy and daddy… I’ll be good… I promise.” The scared voice struck Luna’s heart, and she knew it was the one she heard.

“Shut up you little brat!” The stallion like creature of the two yelled down at the little colt. “You are nothing but a sniveling little baby!”

“Yeah! I regret having such a weak, pathetic excuse for a son like you!” The mare like creature’s words not only stunned Luna, but enraged her at the same time.

A scowl of anger crept across her face as she trotted into the room. She stomped her hoof against the floor “Thou foul creatures, perish from this dream, and never return!” She spoke in her royal voice as she closed her eyes. The environment around her slowly rippled, and the two tall figures blew away like dust, leaving the scared little colt alone.

Luna opened her eyes back up to see the frightened creature curled up in a small ball on the floor, in the corner, with his little limbs covering his head. Her heart broke at the fear he shown, but also in the fact he was wearing tattered clothes. She felt tears sting her eyes as she looked at the little colt trembling like a leaf, and very carefully trotted toward him.

The scared child slowly raised his head, not finding his parent towering over him anymore, but saw Princess Luna approaching him. He whimpered, tears streaming down his cheeks, and his lips quivering with fear. “P-p-please don’t hurt me,” he cried, looking up at the princess.

Luna’s heart ached for the little colt, and she carefully sat down on her haunches, giving him a sad smile. “Shh… it’s okay little one… I’m not going to hurt you. Please don’t’ be afraid,” she spoke as soft as she could, so not to scare him any further. She motioned with a fore hoof “Come here sweetheart,” she spoke softly, giving him a warm smile.

The little colt hesitantly stood up, shaking on his hind legs, and started to slowly walk toward her. “What happened to mommy and daddy?” he whimpered as he looked up at her with fear in his eyes.

She looked down at him with a soft smile, carefully lifted a wing, and gently laid it over his small form, and pulled him toward her. She stroked along his back with a wing “They are gone little one. You had a bad dream, but it’s all over now, I promise.” She gave him a warm smile, but frowned immediately when she felt him shuddering against her.

He whimpered as he buried his face into her soft, warm chest fur. He couldn’t speak, because of the pain he was suffering. Luna felt for the small child, wrapping both of her wings around his little form in a warm, comfortable embrace.

She leaned her head down, and gave him a gentle kiss on the top of his head. “Shh… it’s okay little one, you are safe now. I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you ever again.” She looked down at him and asked with tenderness "May I ask what your name is sweetheart?"

He looked up sniffling, while calming his shuddering. "My name is Timmy Miss," he replied with a broken tone.

Luna gave him a soft smile. "Well, it is a pleasure to meet you Timmy. My name is Princess Luna, but you may just call me Luna, okay little one?" He gave her a nod. She reached up to wrap him up gently in her forelegs "Come with me Timmy. I am going to take you somewhere safe, where those mean creatures won't hurt you anymore." She used her magic to envelope both of them in her warm blue aura, and they vanished in a flash of bright light.

Soon they were in Luna’s living quarters of Canterlot Castle. She lifted her head to look down at the hurt little creature, who had cried himself to sleep. A mix of a light smile and a frown was etched on her face, as she very carefully scooped the small colt in her forelegs, and hovered over to her bed, slowly lowering herself onto it.

She moved the little boy over to her side carefully, and laid a wing over him to keep him warm. She turned her head, and gave him one last kiss on the top of the head. “Goodnight little one,” she whispered as she laid her head near his, to snuggle him close and warm, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Author's Note

Until I get done with Chapter Eight and published, here is the first chapter of my newest story I have started. :twilightblush:

Chapter Eight

Rainbow Dash soared high above the sky among the clouds of Equestria while entertaining Timmy with a ride on her back. She turned her head to look at him holding onto her neck, but with a big smile on his face as the wind blew against his flesh. She let out a light chuckle as she turned her head again to look in front of her.

Timmy looked over Rainbow’s shoulders on each side down at the land below, enjoying the beautiful scenery before his eyes. He let out a small giggle as the wind caused Rainbow’s mane to gently brush against his face. Her soft cyan fur felt like a warm blanket against his little arms as he held onto her.

Rainbow smirked proudly and let out a sigh of comfort as the wind brushed against her fur. She turned to look at the child “Are you having fun little buddy?” She reached a hoof up to rub at his small hands.

Timmy looked at her with a bright smile “Yes I am Miss Rainbow. I’ve never been flying before, but it feels nice up here and the wind feels comfy blowing against my face.” He let out another light giggle.

She let out a light chuckle “I knew you’d love the feeling of flying Timmy. You have so much freedom when you’re soaring among the clouds with the wind beneath your wings.” A smile crept across her face as she came to a slow and steady stop, flapping her wings carefully. “Okay little guy, I want you to hold onto me tight, because I’m going to show you some of my awesome tricks. How does that sound?”

He nodded, giving her a bright smile, and tightened his hug around her neck “Okay Miss Rainbow.”

She smirked and licked her lips. “Alright buddy, on the count of three be prepared to be amazed by my awesomeness.” She let out a light chuckle, earning a giggle from the little boy. She closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, and exhaled deeply. “One… two… three!”

She flew a couple feet ahead before completing a full backflip in midair. She smirked proudly, but felt the child on her back shaking a little and turned to look at him with his little lips quivering. She frowned a little and rubbed at his hands around her neck “Are you okay little buddy? I didn’t scare you too bad, did I?”

He calmed his shaking a bit as he looked into her magenta eyes. He shook his head “Oh I’m okay Miss Rainbow. It was a little scary, but very fun!” He let out a giggle and smiled brightly.

She let out a sigh of relief “Well I’m glad that you’re okay Timmy and that you enjoyed that. I promise I won’t ever let you fall or won’t ever scare you. When you’re with the awesome one, there is nothing to be afraid of.” She gave him a wink and reached up with a hoof to ruffle at his hair.

He let out a giggle at the ruffling of his hair and nodded at her promise. “Okay Miss Rainbow. I feel safe around you and the others.” He gave a warm smile.

She returned the smile “That is good to hear Timmy. I promise that my friends, the princesses, and I would never let any harm come to you.” She gave him a determined look and a wink. “Now, what do you say we fly some more before we go back to the castle?” She smirked proudly.

He nodded “I’d like that Miss Rainbow.” He smiled happily as she nodded, and then flew forward to continue their flight together.

Down in Canterlot, Princess Luna was trotting within the royal gardens admiring the beauty of the plant life and basking in the warmth of her sister’s sun shining warmly upon her. She looked up at the golden orb with a soft smile across her lips as she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath of the morning air. She heard hoof steps approaching from behind her and she turned to see her sister trotting up to her with a warm smile on her face.

“Hello my dear sister, how are you feeling after turning back into Nightmare Moon? I know my nephew is feeling a bit beaten up by it.” Celestia couldn’t help herself but let out a small chuckle at the thought of Blueblood limping out of the castle with his fur burnt in a few places after being shocked with Nightmare Moon’s lightning.

Luna let out a chuckle of her own and looked at her sister with an expression mixed with warmth, yet concern “I honestly don’t know how I should feel Tia.” She let out a heavy sigh as she looked down at the ground “I mean it felt wonderful to teach that no good, disgraceful nephew of mine a lesson he would never forget, but at the same time it felt terrifying to succumb to my vengeance and become Nightmare Moon again.” A single tear rolled down her cheek.

Celestia frowned at the sadness her sister was showing and carefully lifted a wing to lay over her back. She leaned her head to nuzzle at cheek “Shh… it’s okay Luna, it’s all over now… shh.” She gave her a warm, reassuring smile.

Luna shook her head and trotted out from underneath Celestia’s wing before turning to face her sister. “But what if it isn’t over Tia? What if I get consumed with revenge again and I turn back into that dark, foul creature again, but next time in front of Timmy? What if he fears me, loses his trust in me, and tries to run away? A child as young as him won’t be able to survive out in the vast land of Equestria alone!” She cried out and lowered her head to allow a few more tears to shed.

Celestia trotted toward her and immediately wrapped her forelegs around her, pulling into a tight, warm embrace. They sat down on their haunches as she laid her chin on top of Luna’s head allowing her to release her tears into her chest fur. She made quiet shushing sounds into Luna’s mane “Shh… I promise Luna, that as your sister I won’t allow that to happen to you. You’ve come so far from giving into your hunger for vengeance. Today was only one time and you did that, because you were upset about harm being brought to Timmy, a child that you care for.” She stroked along Luna’s back comfortably with a forehoof.

Celestia held Luna in her embrace for several more minutes before both sisters gently pulled away. She reached up a hoof to wipe away the list remaining tears rolling down Luna’s cheek. She gave her a warm, reassuring smile “Besides Lulu, you was able to control yourself and turned back. So I believe everything will be okay.” She gave Luna a wink.

Luna sniffled and gave Celestia a soft smile. “Do you really think I can control my urge to become Nightmare Moon Tia?” Celestia gave her a nod as Luna let out a heavy sigh. “Thank you my dear sister. I don’t know what I would do without you to always be there to pull me away from the darkness into the light.” She looked at her sister with a tearful smile.

Celestia smirked “Well, without me Lulu, you’d have to raise both your moon and my sun.” She let out a light-hearted chuckle, as did Luna. “Now let’s discuss the matter of our sweet little friend Timmy. Since he’s been here in Equestria for a little while and it seems like the Elements of Harmony have already warmed up to him, and you have taken the role of a mother to him, I believe it’s time that you officially adopt him.” She gave Luna a warm smile.

Luna beamed with joy “Really Tia, I can adopt Timmy and call him my son?” Celestia nodded and Luna wrapped her forelegs around her neck proudly. “Aw… sister, thank you so much! Ever since I met him, I felt a connection to him, but I didn’t want to force myself as a mother upon him without being aware.” She sighed happily.

Celestia let out a light chuckle and patted Luna’s back with a fore hoof “There is no reason to thank me Lulu, I could feel a connection between you two when you brought him as well.” She gave her sister a warm smile. “I’ll just go write Twilight Sparkle a letter and ask if she could ask the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie to throw a party to celebration Timmy’s adoption and also his official welcome to Equestria.”

Luna smiled brightly “Oh Tia, Timmy is just going to love it here in our home! Also, he will have a loving and caring family with us that he truly deserves.” Celestia nodded in agreement as she turned to trot back into the castle as Luna decided to continue her stroll through the gardens.

When Celestia arrived into her bedroom, she laid down on her rug in front of her satin sofa, and levitated a quill and scroll over to write her letter.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I’m writing to you to let you and your fellow Elements of Harmony know that after last night’s heinous events concocted my poor excuse for a nephew, Princes Blueblood that I have made the decision of banishing him from Canterlot Castle. From now on when you and your friends come to Canterlot, you will see him living among the citizens of Canterlot. Also, my sister taught him a lesson he would never forget by turning herself into Nightmare Moon, but don’t worry, because it was only for this one time.

I’ll be waiting for your response.

Your teacher and friend,

Princess Celestia

She used her magic to roll the scroll up and teleport it. She levitated the quill and ink back over to her desk as she let out a sigh of comfort.

Soon Timmy, you will have the family and friends that you truly deserve.

Chapter Nineteen

Princess Luna awoke with a soft yawn escaping from her lips and she looked down to her son who laid curled up underneath the warmth of her wing. She smiled warmly at the sight of Timmy snuggled up close to her side He’s always so adorable when sleeps like that close to me. I hope he won’t be scared today on his first day of school. She leaned her head close and nuzzled his cheek “Timmy honey, it’s time to wake up.”

The child would soon stir in his sleep and let out a soft yawn of his own, blinking his eyes open to look up at the warm, smiling face of his mom. He returned the smile “Good morning Momma!” He stretched out his arms as he uncurled.

“Good morning my little prince, did you sleep well last night?’ She carefully lifted her wing up and over his form “I know last night must have been scary for you, because of my poor excuse for a nephew, but you are safe now sweetheart, and I promise to not let any harm come to you ever again.” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile and kissed his forehead.

He nodded “Yes Momma, I slept okay, but it was scary last night. I thought I was never going to see you again, but Miss Trixie kept me safe. I know you’ll always protect me Momma. I love you!” He gave her a hug against her side.

“Momma loves you too sweetheart!” She uses a foreleg to gently return the hug and stroke along his side “Do you know what today is my little prince?” The boy looks up at her curiously “Today is your first day of school, and I want to make sure you have a good, healthy breakfast before you have to go.” She stretched out her wings and carefully climbed off her bed before levitating her son onto her back.

He hugged around her neck to hold on as she trotted out of her bed chambers “School Momma? You mean I get to go to school with other ponies?” He asked with a bit of excitement, but then a look of worry swept across his face “What if they don’t like me though Momma? What if they make fun of me, because I’m not a pony like them?” A hint of sadness could be heard in his tone.

Luna frowned as she could hear the nervousness in her son’s voice, but she turned around as she stopped trotting and gave him a warm smile. She nuzzled his cheek “Oh my little prince, don’t you worry about the other fillies and colts not liking you. I’m sure they’ll like you as much as I love you.” She gave him a reassuring nod and turned back to trot toward the dining hall.

On the other side of the castle, Trixie was just waking up in her bedroom that Luna and Celestia allowed her to stay in as the newly appointed royal foalsitter of Timmy.She trotted out onto the balcony and took in a deep breath of fresh air Oh, such a wonderful day it is, the air is calm, the wind is cool and soft against Trixie’s coat, and it looks like all the ponies of Canterlot are enjoying a nice stroll. She looked out at the city of Canterlot as there were some citizens in fact enjoying a nice morning stroll along the streets. She turned back and trotted into her bedroom Trixie guesses I’ll go see what is for breakfast. She exited her room and trotted down the corridor toward the dining hall.

Princess Luna and Timmy, along with Princess Celestia were enjoying a nice freshly cooked breakfast of eggs, toast with butter and jam, and milk for beverages.As they were eating, the dining hall doors opened and they saw Trixie enter “Ah, good morning Trixie.” Celestia greeted with a nod of her head “I do hope you had a peaceful sleep in your new living quarters here at the castle. Would you like some breakfast?”

Trixie trotted toward the dining table and sat down at the other end “Trixie indeed did have a wonderful slumber your highness.” She gave a soft nod “Oh yes your majesty, Trixie is quite famished this morning.” She giggled.

Timmy took a pause from eating his meal to greet Trixie “Good morning Miss Trixie!” He smiled happily at his foalsitter “Thank you again for saving me from Mister Blueblood and keeping me safe last night.”

“Of course little one, Trixie would never let anything terrible happen to a colt or filly as young as you. It was Trixie’s honor to help save and protect such a sweet dear like you Timmy.” She gave the child a warm smile and wink. Soon two a maid trotted with a plate of eggs, hay bacon, and toast for Trixie “Trixie thanks you madam.” She gave the maid a nod.

While she was about finished with her breakfast, Luna looked at Trixie “Dear Trixie, if it’s not too much, could I ask a favor of you this morning?” She then looked down at her son who was just about finished with his food.

Trixie sighed warmly as she ate at her food when she nodded at the princess. She swallowed her bite “Oh of course your highness, Trixie will be much obliged to perform whatever task you wish of me.”

Luna nodded as she looked back down at Timmy “My little prince, would it be okay if Trixie takes you to school today? I would love to accompany you on your first day myself, but your Aunt Celestia has day court today, and it’s a case that I would like to be present at.You aren’t mad at me, are you sweetheart.?” She leaned her head down and nuzzled his cheek.

He blushed and giggled at the nuzzling “No Momma, I’m not mad. I love you!” He reached over and hugged her foreleg “Will you maybe pick me up from school though?” He looked up with a hopeful smile.

She laid a wing over his form and looked down at him “Of course my dear, I’ll be there to pick you up. Then we could go to the sweet shop known as Sugarcube Corner in Ponyville and get some ice cream. How does that sound my little prince?” She gave him a blushing smile and kissed his forehead.

“Oh, that sounds like fun Momma!” He smiled happily and giggled excitedly.

Luna joined in the giggling as she stroked his back with a wing”That is my boy. Now you get ready to leave with Trixie, and I shall see you at the end of school.” She kissed the top of his head and lifted her wing up over his form.

Trixie just finished her meal as she stood up at the table and looked over at the boy “Are you ready little one for Trixie to take you to school?” She gave a warm smile and trotted over to him “Hop on dear Timmy.” She leaned forward on her forelegs for him to climb up onto her back.

He nodded and carefully climbed up onto her back, hugging around her neck to hold on. He looked at his mom “Bye Momma, I’ll miss you, but I’ll see you after school.”He gave her a big smile.

Luna nodded and reachd up with a hoof to stroke at his hair “Of course my little prince, I’ll be there, I promise.” She gave him a wink and kissed his cheek “Now you do what your teacher says and learn all that you can.” She moved her hoof down to stroke at his cheek before stepping back some.

“Don’t worry your highness, Trixie will take real good care of him while I take him to school.” She gave Luna a nod and calmly exited the dining hall as she waved a hoof and Timmy waved a hand.

Luna returned the wave with a hoof “Have a good day at school my son.” She gave a warm smile as she watched her son leave. She turned to look at her sister “Well Tia, are you ready to go to day court and sentence that pitiful excuse for a nephew of ours?”

“Yes I am Lulu, and I got to admit, I’m a bit excited to hand this extra punishment for Blueblood. After all he has done to my precious nephew, I think this will serve him right.” The sun princess giggled “And especially the role Discord is going to play is extra enjoyable.”

Luna nodded with a smirk “Yes it is Tia, and I’m sure that Blueblood will be miserable for the rest of his life.” She chuckled as the two sisters exited the dining hall to head toward the castle’s courtroom.

Down in Ponyville, Trixie soon arrived at Ponyville Elementary school and stopped in front of the building “Well little one, we’re here at your learning institution.” She leaned forward on her forelegs and Timmy carefully climbed off her back.

The child looked up at the building with nervousness etched on his face”I don’t know Miss Trixie, what if the other ponies make fun of me or try to hurt me?” He looked at Trixie with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Trixie gave a small frown, but she placed a hoof gently on her shoulder and looked into his eyes “Listen to me dear child, Trixie understands how it is to be bullied and picked on by others, but you know what?” She gave a soft, reassuring smile “Trixie learned to listen to my own heart and be proud of myself, which helped me always be the bigger filly. So just be yourself Timmy and don’t let those who try to make you feel bad feel as if they are victorious over you. Do you understand?” She gave him a warm, reassuring smile.

He nodded “Yes Miss Trixie, thank you.’ He hugged at her foreeleg and she returned it by wrapping a foreleg around his form.

“You’re welcome little one. Now you go in there and be the best little colt you can be.” She smiled down at him and gave him a wink.

He released the hug and waved a hand “Bye Miss Trixie!” He said happily as he walked into the schoolhouse as Trixie turned to trot away and back toward Canterlot.

Once inside Timmy saw all the school ponies sitting at their desks and he became nervous again. He felt a hoof touch his shoulder and he looked up to see the teacher, Miss Cheerilee “Well hello sweetie, are you Timmy?” She gave him a soft smile and rubbed at his shoulder caerfully with her hoof.

He looked up at her ad nodded “Yes Ma’am.” He gave a little smile as her kind, caring tone calmed his nervousness.

“Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Timmy. Just take your seat and if you have any questions, just raise your hoof… erm… I mean hand, okay sweetheart?” He nodded as she pointed a seat near the back that was empty. She patted his back as he walked toward the seat motioned at.

As he walked toward his desk, there were some kids that were giving him stares and were whispering to one another. Soon a pair of light cerulean eyes fell upon the child, the eyes belonging to the number one class bully Diamond Tiara. A slow, mischievous smirk crept across her muzzle as a thought came to her head and she rubbed her hooves together, chuckling to herself.

Mm… looks like there is some fresh meat for me to push around in my school.

Author's Note

Well, it looks like Celestia and Luna isn't done planning Blueblood's punishment :rainbowlaugh: Also... oh no, it looks like Diamond Tiara has something devious on her mind and plans to make Timmy's first day at school miserable :pinkiegasp:
