Blue Tune is a young Alicorn with Princess Celestia as his mom. He has had a perfect life... at least until Princess Luna had returned from being imprisoned on the moon. Now, Blue Tune is questioning even his mom to learn the truth, even if it hurts.

Blue Tune is a young Alicorn, not only known for being the best, and youngest musician, but for being the only son of the ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia. Ever since he was born, he has lived a perfect life of a young prince. Everything was perfect, from living in the castle, to his private lessons, but what was mostly perfect, was the love he got from his mom. Yet, he always wondered what happened to his dad, but Celestia would never tell him what had happened to him. She always assured him that everything would still be alright. A few years later, everything fell apart when Princess Luna returned to the castle. She was so shocked at the fact that her own sister had a son, that she found it hard to believe that it was true. Determined to find out, Luna decides to investigate in order to find the truth. After being questioned so many times by the young princess, Blue Tune decides to join the investigation, believing that it will lead him to finding out what happened to his dad. Yet they don't know that the truth hurts, and this truth will break more than one Alicorn's heart.

As obvious as it seems, this is the first time I have ever written a story, especially an mlp fanfic. I'm not a professional writer, so the story might sound weird at times, but I will do my best to not make it a poorly written story. if you have any suggestions and/or tips for me, please leave them in the comments, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, and enjoy.

Blue Tune

"BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!!" Blue Tune yelled furiously at Shining Armor, the captain of the royal guard. Ever since word came from Ponyville about Nightmare Moon attacking, the young Alicorn has been doing everything he can to convince the captain to plan a full assault in order to save the citizens, but mostly, to rescue his mom, Princess Celestia.\

"How many times do I have to tell you? Nightmare Moon has the Princess held captive, if we attempt an assault on Ponyville, it will be harder to rescue her, SO GET IT THROUGH THAT THICK HEAD OF YOURS" the captain responded furiously, since it was the 10th time he had told Blue Tune.

"Oh, I get it. You're just scared. That's the problem, and I thought the captain was suppose to be the fearless one of all the guards. Such a shame" he replied, hoping to convinced the captain, but it only made him even more furious.

"That's it, I had it" Shining Armor said, while using his magic to open the door, "Get out, I don't have time to hear your complaints".

Now Blue Tune was mad " Then stop wasting time sitting there, and do something about this attack, or else..."

"Or else, what?" The captain rudely interrupted.

"Or else, I will remove you from your position as captain of the Royal Guard".

~~~~~~

"Well, that went well" Blue Tune thought to himself, "At least he didn't order any of the guards to drag me out of there". The young Alicorn was in his room, sitting on top of his bed. His room was bigger than a regular bedroom, but not as big as his mom's room. Unlike the other rooms in the castle, his room was made especially for him. One thing, the walls were painted a dark blue, with a few streaks of light blue, to match the young Alicorn's mane and tail color. The bed sheets and pillow, and the rest of the furniture were colored a bright red, just like his eyes. The ceiling had a clear white color, the same clear white color as his coat. And finally, on the center, was a black star, with a treble clef in the center of the star, which looked liked his cutie mark.

On one side of the room, was his shelf. Mostly containing books from his studies, Blue Tune also kept a few picture frames and awards given to him over the past few years. A few feet away from the shelf was his desk. Despite the fact that he was on break, just like all his other classmates from his High School, it didn't stop Celestia from giving him a few assignments and reviews to go over ( which would explain a few sheets of paper scattered all over the desk). On the other side of the room was where he practiced his music. A stand, a piano, a little drawer filled with his music, and on top of the drawer was a small case that held his silver trumpet inside.

After sitting for what felt like forever, Blue Tune decided to stand up, and started to walk towards his drawer, which had a mirror on it. Once he reached the mirror, he noticed a picture frame next to it. Using his magic, he levitated the frame so he could see the picture. The frame, which was surrounded by the light red aura of his magic, held a picture of him when he was a young colt, sleeping next to Princess Celestia. Her massive wing used as a blanket for him to sleep in. He looked at the colt in the picture, and saw that the colt's mane was straight, and was kept tidy. Looking at the mirror, Blue Tune saw that his mane was a mess. It was very hard to explain, but his mane was a bit spiky, and really big. Looking past himself, he noticed the double doors leading to the balcony. He decided to go outside for a minute, thinking that he needed some fresh air.

*********

As he flew around the castle, Blue Tune felt the cool air of the night blow through his mane and wings, sending shivers down his spine, which always seems to calm him down for some reason. Yet, the feeling wasn't enough. He was still worried about what was going on in Ponyville. He was still worried about his mom, wondering if she was alright. 'I could do it' The Alicorn thought to himself, "I could fly to Ponyville, see if everything's ok, maybe even help defeat Nightmare Moon...". That's when he remembered the conversation he had with his mom before she left.

Blue Tune entered his mom's room, closing the door behind him. "Is everything ok mom?" he asked. The princess didn't even notice her son enter the room. She was only focusing all her attention towards the fire in the small chimney at the back of the room, as if she was deep in her thoughts. "Mom?" he asked a second time, but the princess didn't respond. Blue Tune began to approach the princess, very worried. " Mom?" He asked as he reached to touch her.

Blue Tune jumped back as princess Celestia finally spoke, "Oh, Blue Tune, I didn't notice you coming in. I am sorry".

"It's ok mom" he responded with a smile, "so, are you ready for the summer sun celebration?".

The words seemed to have reminded Celestia about something, because at that moment, she turned around, facing her son. She looked at her son, but with concerned eyes. The same eyes she used when Blue Tune was a colt. Whenever he was going to receive punishment for either lying to the guards, or causing trouble for everypony in the castle. Princess Celestia said, her voice stern and serious, "Blue Tune, I'm afraid you can't come with me to the summer sun celebration this year".

Blue Tune was shocked at the news. "What, but why?" the young alicorn asked.

"Listen, this year, something big will occur at Ponyville, and I need you to stay here." Celestia told him, "But you need to promise me something. You need to promise me to not leave the castle until I return from Ponyville, until you see the rising of the sun. Promise me, that no matter what you hear, that no matter what you see, no matter what is happening in Ponyville, you will not take action. You will not fly to Ponyville, you will not cause trouble for the Royal Guard, but mostly....". Before she could finish that sentence, princess Celestia walked towards Blue Tune, knelled down to his height, and wrapped her front hooves around her son, giving him a hug. "You must not lose hope, you must believe at all times, you must be brave. And before you know it, you will see me returning from Ponyville.". Blue Tune did not know how to respond, so the princess continued, "promise me this, and I promise to come back home, do you know why?"

"Because she loves me" Blue Tune told himself, looking down onto the ground below, no longer paying attention. As his eyes started to look up, it didn't take him long to realize that he was about to fly towards the wall of the castle.

Without thinking, he used his magic.

His horn glowed a light red, and his entire body was covered by the red aura of his magic. Closing his eyes, Blue Tune only thought of one thing, and that was to teleport to the other side of the castle. Concentrating on his magic, and on his destination, the spell was cast.

And just like that, he no longer felt the aura of his magic enveloped around him. After what seemed like five seconds, he was still flying. As Blue Tune opened his eyes, he was instantly blinded by a bright light in the sky. Blue Tune couldn't focus, he began to fly out of control. By the time his eyes focused, the only thing he felt was a powerful slam on the head.

He didn't even feel the wind rushing as he fell to his death. He didn't even think about what had hit him. The only thing that went through his mind, the only thing that was still going through his mind the entire time, was his mom.

Author's Note

I know that this chapter is a bit slow and boring, i'm sorry for that. To be honest, this is my first time writing a story, especially a mlp fanfic. Thanks for reading the first chapter. If necessary, could you please leave any helpful tips and advice for me, so I can write my stories even better? I would really appreciate it.

Welcome home

“.........ow, my head” finally waking up, Blue Tune managed to sit himself up from where he landed. “What happened?” The dazed alicorn asked himself while rubbing his eyes awake, “First minute, I’m flying around the castle, the next….ugh, that stupid light blinded m…...WAIT WHAT?!”. As soon as his eyes had readjusted, he had realized what had caused him to go blind and crash.

The sun had finally risen; Equestria was no longer in darkness. “Wait, if the sun is up, then that means Nightmare Moon has been defeated, and if Nightmare Moon is defeated, then that means….”

“Why, good morning Blue Tune, I see you are enjoying yourself quite well.” a soft, all-too-familiar voice spoke behind the prince.

Turning around slowly, Blue Tune looked behind him to see who was talking to him. Once he had turned completely around, all he could see was a large pony standing in front of him. Her glowing white coat, shining with the sun, brought a regal look to the alicorn that was presented before the confused prince, who had a slight smile. Her multicolored mane flowed with beauty, and glistened with the radiant sun.

Just looking at the pony in front of him brought tears to Blue Tune’s eyes. “Oh my stars….” Blue Tune said, barely audible. “......mom?” he asked

At the sound of that word, Princess Celestia trotted up towards her son, and without a moments hesitation, threw her forelegs around him, giving him a tight, loving embrace. “Oh Blue Tune, my son. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”. Celestia said, wrapping her wings around the young alicorn. “I knew I should have told you about what was going to happen, about Nightmare Moon, but I didn’t want you to get worried…”. Celestia couldn't continue, as tears also started to come out.

“Mom…..I….I….” Blue Tune didn’t know what to say. All he could do was wrap his forelegs around his mom, returning the embrace.

After what seemed like an eternity, the mother and son ended their embrace. “I know you must be angry at me, but you must understand why I didn’t want you to accompany me to the summer-sun celebration” Princess Celestia finally spoke, “After being locked up for so long, the last thing I wanted Nightmare Moon to know was that I had a son.”

“Yea, because clearly, I can’t take care of myself” Blue Tune muttered, his mood quickly changing, as he and Celestia began their walk back to the castle.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Celestia asked, even though she perfectly knew what he had said, “Listen, Blue Tune, if there's something bothering you, you can tell me.”

The young alicorn sighed, “Look mom, I know you're only doing what you think is best for me, but you don’t always have to treat me like a baby. I can take care of myself, you know”

Celestia was shocked at hearing him say that. Even though she was busy with her royal responsibilities, she still took took time for her son, and she knew he would never speak his mind like that. Does he really think I still treat him like a foal? Celestia wondered. After a moment of silence, Celestia spoke, ”I see….. but tell me, why do you think that is so?”

Now, he was angry. “Well, for one thing, you didn’t tell me about what was going to happen in Ponyville. Second, you never let me leave the castle by myself” Blue Tune stated.

“I thought we made it clear that leaving you behind was for your safety. Also, you know that you can’t leave the castle without an escort” Celestia countered her son’s argument.

“But that’s not fair, Cadence can leave the castle anytime she wants, with or without an escort”

“that’s because I can trust Cadence to take care of herself”

She did not just say that Blue Tune thought angrily. “Oh I see, so you trust your neice more than you trust your own son. See, this is what I mean about how you still treat me like a foal”

“AND A FOAL YOU ARE!!!!” Celestia snapped. “Before I left to Ponyville, what did I say, ‘don’t cause any trouble, listen to what the guards have to tell you, and don’t go outside’”. Explain to me why I have been getting reports, directly from Shining Armor, about how you interrupted an emergency meeting, yelled and threatened the captain, and how you snuck out of the castle to, if my assumptions are correct, fly to Ponyville and deal with the situation yourself. So yes, I still treat you like a foal, because you are irresponsible.” Celestia finished, clearly regaining whatever control she had left.

Blue Tune just stood there, taking it all in. Celestia had never yelled at him like that, mostly because she had never needed to. Blue Tune almost never got in trouble. The only time he got in so much trouble was when he overslept and missed his music lessons…..three times in a row. That led to a small lecture, and an apology to the music instructor. But this, this wasn’t going to end so easily.

And Celestia is about to make it worse.

“.....Your father would be very disappointed in you”

That caught the alicorn’s attention, and it relit his anger. “Well that’s a start. You know, if you're going to mention dad like that, then why don’t you tell me what happened to him.”

“.......you know what happened to him.” Celestia spoke, but with a sad tone. “He died. For you, for me. For our protection. That’s what happened.” Celestia really wished he could just drop the topic, and stop asking about his father.

“......You're lying” Blue Tune said coldly. “Tell me what really happened to him”. Clearly, Blue Tune wasn’t about to let the topic go, not until he got what he wanted. “I’m tired of you lying to me about dad. Whatever you said happened to him didn’t really happen. I’m 16 years old, whatever happened to dad, I can handle it. NOW WHY CAN’T YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?”

“HE DIED, THAT’S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. THAT HE DIED FOR OUR PROTECTION. NOW STOP ASKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.” Celestia snapped once again. She was so close to losing it, but she managed to calm herself before she did lose control “This conversation is over. Not only did you disobey me, but you disrespect me and Shining Armor as well. I am very disappointed in you Blue Tune. Until further notice, you are grounded. I want you to go up to your room, and I want you to write an apology letter to Shining Armor. Don’t even think about coming down until you learn to act like a mature stallion. Is that understood?”

“I don’t believe you. When are you going to stop treating me like a foal?” Blue Tune said, coldly.

“I hate you”

Without another word, Blue Tune teleported from where he was standing. Oblivious of his mom’s reaction to his words.

Celestia stood there, letting those last few words replay in her mind. She was speechless, shocked, and felt as if someone had ripped her very heart out of her chest. Tail dragging on the floor, head down, and heart broken, Celestia began the long, slow walk to her bedchambers.

Author's Note

1st) I am really really sorry for not publishing the next chapter in so long.
2nd) I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, the ending might have not been so good, but I couldn't think of anything else.
3rd) I would like to thank my friend Luna Elite for helping me out with this chapter, even with the little things.

Forgiveness over a slice of cake

“I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU”, Blue Tune repeated as he entered his room and slammed the door behind him.

Upon entering, he noticed the stack of homework assignments his mom had issued him over the summer. With rage and hate, he approached his desk and with one leg, he shoved all of the assignments off of the desktop, leaving them flying all over the room before landing on the floor in a mess. Afterwards, he pulled out the chair from below the desk, taking a seat, and laid his head down on the desktop. “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you”, he repeated once more while slamming his forehoof on the desktop.

After some time, he stopped, and just sat there, head down, thinking about what he just did.

He felt horrible.

Blue Tune knew better that to have yelled at his own mom like that, but what could he do. “I’m 16 years old, I shouldn't have to have a guard by my side when I’m outside the castle.”, he thought to himself. “At the same time, I’m 16, I’m no longer a kid.”, he thought, countering his first thought, “Which means I shouldn't be treated like one either.” “Yet, I’m the prince. So, in a way, I should be setting an example.” “Then again, for a prince, I don’t exactly have any freedom.”

Blue Tune’s inside argument continued for a few minutes, but eventually ended with a draw.

With a sign, Blue Tune managed to lift himself from the desk and trotted to his bed, where he collapsed right on the spot where he lied on before, with his rear hooves dangling from the side of the bed. After a few lazy attempts, he was able to right himself on the bed, lying his head on the pillow, and spreading his legs all over the be...

BUMP. "OW!!!"

It took a few second for Blue Tune to process what he just heard, and when the realization had hit him...

"Oh my gosh, Rose!" Blue Tune said as he crawled to the other side of the bed, where a pink and red scaled, sleepy baby dragon lied on the floor, rubbing her sore back. "Rose, are you ok?" Blue Tune said as he lit his horn and levitated Rose onto the bed.

"....I....I'm ok"the baby dragon replied sleepy, "I....I'm sorry for sleeping on your bed master, I...I know I shouldn't have"

Despite what had recently happened, Blue Tune couldn't help but crack a smile at Rose's response. "hey, its alright, don't worry about it." He answered back, relived once he saw the baby dragon smile as well, "and what did I tell you, call me Blue Tune, there's no need to be calling me 'Master'."

As soon as she heard that, Rose's smile faded, and she started to panic, "oh dear, I'm sorry mast....no, Blue Tune, I'm sorry, I....I didn't mean to disrespect you mas...no, I mean master, I mean Blue Tune, I'm so sor...".

Before Rose could continue, Blue Tune pulled the baby dragon into a hug to stop her. Once he did, Rose stopped her rambling, and stayed silent. afterwards, he wrapped his wings around her, embracing her in a warm passionate hug.

After a few minutes, Rose finally managed to speak in a soft, yet nervous voice, "I.....I'm sorry Blue Tune, I truly didn't mean any disrespect. Please forgive me".

Blue Tune stroked the sore part of Rose's back, trying his best to calm down the baby dragon. "I forgive you, Rose" the young alicorn said in a calm voice.

Blue Tune couldn't blame Rose, she was a baby dragon after all. Besides, everypony in the castle knew that Rose had a tendency to freak out when she made a mistake, especially since she was Blue Tune's assistant. No, in her mind, she was an assistant, but to Blue Tune, she was like a little sister. A little sister who always looked up to her older brother. A little sister who always found a way to make her older brother smile.

After a long moment of silence, they ended their embrace. Rose sat down on the bed sheets, face-to-face with the young prince, and said, "Um, m..Blue Tune, if you don't mind me asking, where did you go?".

“Oh, well...after I asked you to go down to the archives to get any info on Nightmare moon, I kinda went down to the situation room to order Shining Armor to launch an attack” Blue Tune responded, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

Rose responded with a nod of her head, and asked, even though she already knew the answer, “so how did it go?”

“not so good, but on the plus side, he didn’t kick me out.”

At that comment, Rose could only face palm. “Well...on the plus side, it all went ok. The sun is up, Nightmare Moon has been defeated, and your mom should be back home anytime soon.”. Before Blue Tune could even try to hide it, Rose caught the slightest look of emptiness on his face at the mention of his mom. “Blue Tune, is everything ok?” she asked, concerned for her friend.

Blue Tune could only look down before replying, “my mom got home a few minutes ago, but it wasn’t your average happy welcoming…”

********

“Ok Celestia, you can do it. All you have to do is go in, offer the sweet treat, ask for forgiveness, and it’ll be all over. I just hope Blue Tune can forgive me” Princess Celestia thought to herself, going over the plan she made up a few minutes ago, two silver plates and two forks in her golden telekinetic grasp. The contents on one plate was a slice of double chocolate chip cake, Celestia’s favorite, and on the other plate was a slice of red velvet cake, Blue Tune’s favorite.

As she approached the door leading to Blue Tune’s room, she could hear chatter coming from the other side.

“...but don’t you think it was all your fault” a voice from within the room spoke, which Celestia could recognize as Rose. “Don’t take it the wrong way, even I can see that you were only trying to do what you thought was the right thing.”.

“Look, I understand that what I was doing was wrong” a second voice spoke easily recognizable as Blue Tune’s, “but…”

A few seconds of silence rang, then Rose spoke, “Just think about it for a minute. First off, you are correct, Princess Celestia does have to understand that you are growing up.”. Princess Celestia pondered at that thought before she was cut off by Rose speaking again, “Yet, at the same time, you have to understand that you also need to change.”

“I know, I know. I need to stop acting like a foal also.”

“it’s not that you act like a foal, it’s that you need to understand that there are some things that you can’t do, & can’t be done.”

“.......what are you trying to say?”

“What Rose is trying to say is, even though I may seem to be treating you like a foal, it is only for the purpose of protecting you from harm” Princess Celestia said as she entered the room, closing the door behind her, looking towards a shocked pony & baby dragon.

After a moment of silence, Blue Tune was the first to recover, “wait a minute, so your telling me that protecting me means standing right beside my bedroom door, listening to what I am saying, therefore intruding into my privacy &.....”Blue Tune stopped for a second, smelling the air, “....is that Red Velvet cake i smell?”

Celestia, using her magic, presented the piece of cake & the fork in front of him. “Why yes, it is. Would you like some?” Celestia asks the young Alicorn, holding his fork in her telekinetic grasp, and gesturing for him to take the plate.

Without another word, Blue Tune took the plate and silverware in his hooves, and started to eat the cake. A smile started to form on his face as he ate, forgetting about all of the troubles that plagued him.

Celestia could only smile happily as she saw her son eating his slice of cake with joy. She soon remembered about her slice of cake that still floated in her telekinetic grasp. She began walking up to the side of the bed, and onced she arrived, she pulled herself up to sit next to the young Alicorn. Before she could even bring herself to take a bite, Celestia looked at Blue Tune, and spoke in a calm voice, “Blue Tune….I’m sorry.”

Blue Tune stopped eating his cake, but couldn’t bring himself to face his mom. A few minutes passed as both ponies stood silenced. Celestia was about to say something, but Blue Tune finally managed to speak, “...why are you apologizing? I understand that I messed up. I should have listened to you when you told me to stay in the castle, to not cause trouble, and I never should have said….whatever I said. Yet, I didn’t. So I don’t see why you are apologizing, since I should be the one apologizing.”

“Because, Blue Tune, even though you disobeyed me, you are correct. Even I said some things, which I regret saying…..” Celestia said, “Yet, even though things were said, I just hope that we can look past this, and forgive each other.”

Before Blue Tune could answer, a soft knock came from the door, a filly’s voice could be heard from the other side, “TIA!!!!, I’m here. What is it you wanted to show me?”
