Luna and Star's Relationship

Chapter 3: Luna and Star's Relationship

Star woke up and started to look for something to eat.

Earning Cutie Marks

Chapter 5: Earning Cutie Marks

"Crafty look!" Star said pointing at her friend's flank.

"What? What? What? What?" Crafty said spinning around trying to see his cutie mark wich was a spark with wings.

"How did you get it? When we where trying earlier you didn't get it." Star said wondering how her friend got his mark.

"Well when you started to come down in that bright light thingy it starteled me and I accsidently cast the spell and flew but I didn't know that I earned my cutie mark." Crafty said explaining what happened.

"I knew that flying would be your special talent!" Star exclaimed doing a victory dance.

"YAY!!!!!! My cutie mark!!!" Crafty exclaimed victory danceing with Star. "But what about you Star?" Crafty asked remembering that his friend was still a blankflank.

"I have an idea." Luna said stepping towards the friends. She had startled the two friends as they had forgotten that Luna was still there.

"What?" They asked.

"Come with me to Canterlot and you will see." Luna replied. Star waited for Crafty to take off first so if he needed help she could help him. Soon they where at the castle that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia live in. Luna set the moon and stars once they arrived. Luna took them to her room and both the foals where suprized at how much it looked like their homes. "You may sleep on my bed my little children of the night." Luna said before going to find her sister.

Star saw a picture of Luna and her family. "Hey Crafty do you know what the princesses' parents names where?" Star asked.

"Yes. Their mother was named Phoenix Skies and their father was named Night Skies." Crafty said.

"I would have thought that Luna would be closer to her dad and Princess Celestia would be closer to her mom. But I guess not. How about you?" Star said.

"I thought the same as well. Seeing as Luna and her dad where both night. And same with Princess Celestia and her mom." Crafty said. Soon the foals where fast asleep. Luna woke them up when she was going to raise the moon and stars.

"Time to get up my children of the night." Luna said. The foals got up and rubed crust from their eyes and yawned. They followed Luna outside. Luna whispered something in to Star's ear and then her horn started to glow a navy blue. Then a star appeared in the sky.

"Star! Your cutie mark!" Crafty said. Star started to spin around to see her cute mark. Hmm... I'v seen this before. But where? Crafty thought. Oh yeah. The ground and in the sky. He remembered.

"YAY!!!!!!!! My cutie mark!!!!!!!!" Star exclaimed.

A Secret Admirer

Chapter 7: A Secret Admirer

Star soon returned home with Crafty. Crafty started to teach Star magic. Around Hearts and Hooves day Star started to receive flowers, and chocolates from a secret admirer. Every day Star would get a basket from her admirer. Crafty never was surprised by the gifts he said that it was because she was a princess. (But if you are clever enough you know otherwise.) On Hearts and Hooves day Star got 100 baby blue roses, caramel chocolate fudge, and a card that said "Your eyes shine like stars when in the moonlight. Every day I think of you. Every time I see the stars and the moon I see you. Have a brilliant Hearts and Hooves day. ~ Your Secret Admirer"

"Crafty look I got another gift. 100 baby blue roses, caramel chocolate fudge my favorite, and a card that said 'Your eyes shine like the stars when in the moonlight. Every day I think of you. Every time I see the stars and the moon I see you. Have a brilliant Hearts and Hooves day. ~ Your Secret Admirer.'." Star said.

"The flowers are beautiful Star." Crafty said thinking something more to the sentence than he said. That night when Star helped Luna bring out the stars Star felt like popping in to see Crafty. When she did he was writing something and when he heard her come in he started to stack the papers and hide them.

The Promise

Chapter 10: The Promise

"Hi Star. How are you doing?" Crafty said.

"Good. You?" Star said.

"I'm good too. I want to talk to you." Crafty said. Star nodded and followed her coltfriend. I wonder what Crafty wnts to talk about. Hmm... Star thought. "I-I-I-I k-k-k-k-know t-t-t-t-that w-w-w-w-we a-a-a-a-are t-t-t-t-to y-y-y-young t-t-t-to d-d-d-do t-t-t-this n-n-n-n-now b-b-b-but..." Crafty said getting very very very nervious. "S-S-S-S-S-Star w-w-w-w-w-will y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you p-p-p-p-p-p-promise t-t-t-t-t-t-t-to m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-marry m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-me w-w-when w-w-we a-a-are o-o-older?" Crafty asked barely saying it for he was so nervious he was almost silent.

"YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" Star exclaimed from the top of her lungs bounceing up and down in a circle excitedly.

"Princess Star are you ok?" The other ponies asked hearing Star's yeses.

"Yes." Star said a bit embaresed.

That night Luna came and Star told her what had happened that day. "Congradulations my little shineing Star. I wish thee the best to come." Luna said a bit suprized at how early this was happening but she could understand it.

The Wedding

Chapter 10: The Wedding

"You look beautiful my little shinning Star." Luna told Star who was wearing her crown and the same style dress that she wore at her coronation but slightly bigger. It was Star's wedding day and she was sooooooooooooo excited but also nervous. (She's nervecited!)

Star soon walked down the aisle. Everypony was there. Star could feel the spirits of her parents with her that day. That very special day. Crafty looked very handsome in his suit. "Do you Crafty Paint Artzy take Princess Star Sparkle Shine to be your loughfly wedded mare?"  Princess Celestia asked.

"I do." Crafty said.

"And do you Princess Star Sparkle Shine take Crafty Paint Artzy to be your loughfly wedded Colt?" Princess Celestia asked.

"I do." Star said.

"By the power invested in me I pronounce you mare and colt. You may kiss the bride." Princess Celestia said. Everypony cheered when Star and Crafty kissed it was a very special day. Crafty and Star had decided to combine both their houses in to one because they lived so close to each other and it would save time.

"Hmm... now that we are married we need nicknames!" Star said once they had finished combining the two homes.

"Umm... I don't know." Crafty said unable to think of a nickname.

"I can't ether maybe we don't need nicknames then." Star said.

"Yeah. Let's go watch the sun rise." Crafty said.

Visiting Luna

Chapter 11: Visiting Luna

"Star wake up." Crafty said nuzzleing Star. "Look what arrived in the mail." He said sommoning a letter.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FROM LUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Star shouted excitedly trying to take the letter.

"Let's go!" Star shouted excitedly bouncing every were. Soon they were in Canterlot. "LUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Star shouted using the royal Canterlot voice at the top of her lungs seeing Luna. Star opened her wings and flew towards Luna at the speed of light!

"STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Luna said using the royal Canterlot voice flying towards Star. They embraced each other tightly.

"Hey what about me?" Crafty asked.

"Come here then!" Star said. (Author: GROUP HUG TIME!!!!!!!!)

"Now we must go see Tia!" Luna said. They then walked to the royal dinning room.

"Hello Lulu, Star, Crafty. Please sit down." Princess Celestia said.

A Royal Dinner

Chapter 12: A Royal Diner

Luna, Star, and Crafty sat down as the food arrived. "You certainly must have been excited to see each other. I could hear you in here." Princess Celestia said laughing.

"Yes. I was elated to receive the the letter." Star said. Princess Celestia mumbled something but nopony heard it.

"So will we be having more coronations in the future?" Celestia asked Star and Crafty. (Author: MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!! TESSA HAS STRUCK AGAIN!!!!!!) Star and Crafty stopped what they were doing and dropped their utensils. They were blushing furiously.

"W-w-well.., we haven't talked about it that much." Star managed to squeak still blushing furiously.

"TIA!" Luna shouted at her big sister. Celestia laughed and Star and Crafty realized that Celestia was trying to get the result that they had given her.

"So Crafty I heard that you were the head builder when you moved to the village." Celestia said.

"Yes I was. Though my special talent has nothing to do with that or my name." Crafty said. Soon they finished eating.

"Come with me." Luna said to Star and Crafty. They walked in to a room and found Celestia's pet phoenix sitting on a nest of eggs. "Philomena had laid these eggs not too long ago. I had asked Tia if I could have one to give to you." Luna explained to Star and Crafty. "Philomena. Star and Crafty are here." Luna said to the phoenix. Philomena pushed an egg towards Luna. "Thank you Philomena." Luna said. "Also Tia said to give you these." Luna said her horn glowing the same color as Star's mane.

"Thank you Luna. And tell Princess Celestia thank you too." Star said taking the gifts.

"Your welcome." Luna said.

"We need to get home. Bye Luna!" Star said as she and Crafty took off for home.

A Funny Thing

Chapter 15: A Funny Thing

Star Shine

"STAR!?!?" Crafty shouted looking for me.

"Over here!" I shouted to him.

Luna

Tia's wings went around me again. I sighed, sometimes she was a little overprotective.

"Don't worry. Crafty is my husband." Star said seeing Tia. Then another pony appeared. This pony had a phoenix on his shoulder.  After Tia saw that she put her wings back to her side but stayed near me.

"How did you get a phoenix?" Tia asked.

"A very good friend gave her to us." Star said.

"So this phoenix's mother knew you two and trusted you to take good care of her egg?" Tia asked.

"Yup." Star said. From then on Tia didn't put her wings around me.

Star Shine

"Ok so I have a question. Are Tia and Lulu your names or are they your nicknames?" I asked.

"Nicknames. I'm Celestia." The slightly larger filly said.

"I'm Luna." The smaller filly said.

"Well we'd best go and find some food. Crafty do you think you could make a house while I look for food?" I said.

"Yes. I'll get right to it." He said his horn starting to glow a green color.

"I'll help" Celestia said her horn glowing yellow.

"I'll help Star." Luna said.

"Ok just don't stray too far from her." Celestia said. So me and Luna went to go find some food. All the while we talked and laughed.

Parents of Three?

Chapter 16: Parents of Three?

Star Shine

"Tia? Lulu?" I said sneaking into Tia and Lulu's room.

"Yeah?" Lulu said. I knew that she stayed up late all the time.

"What is it?" Celestia said. She hardly slept trying to keep her sister safe.

"Now what I say here stays here, no telling Crafty ok?" I said. The fillies nodded. "Good. Now do you know any spells that could tell me if I'm pregnant?" I asked.

"Yes. I can do that. Ready when you are." Tia said. I nodded and Tia's horn started to glow. "Yes. You're pregnant." Tia said a look of sadness and jealousy starting to spread on her face.

"You know... I've been thinking, if you want Crafty and I can be your parents. Well technically we'd be your adoptive parents but still." I said.

Luna

"Yes! Yes please!" I said answering the black pony's question.

"Yes. I'd like that very much." Tia said.

The Sad Beginning

Star Shine: Chapter 1: The Sad Beginning

"No. No I'll tell her. Thank you sir." A lime green and yellow unicorn said to a large and bulky earth pony. The unicorn was named Neon Sparks. Neon trotted over to the children who were at recess. "Star? Can you come here for a moment?" Neon said to a little black Pegasus filly. The filly nodded and followed her teacher. There was a rush of whispering throughout the playground.

"I'm not in trouble Ms. Neon am I?" The little filly asked her teacher a bit worried.

"No Star. It's something else." Neon said sadly. "Y-your parents... they passed away just a little bit ago."  Neon said trying to to cry. Star's parents had been Neon's best friends ever since she was a filly.

"M-my parents?" Star said just about to cry. "My parents are... are gone?" Star said not wanting to use that word. Neon hugged Star tightly as they both cried and mourned over the death of Star's parents.

"Star you can go home early today." Neon said wiping Star's tears away. Star nodded and went home to gather a few things. Soon Star landed on the cloud that she lived in. She pushed open the doors, and went into her parent's room. After gathering a few items in there she walked into her room. Star looked around her room for the last time, and grabbed a few of her own items and left.

Star, not wanting to go to an orphanage, flew and flew till she couldn't fly any longer. By that time the moon was starting to rise. Star found a nice sheltered place and told the stars her entire life. After getting to today she started to cry. Star cried herself to sleep. Star woke up terrified and cold.

"Everything shall be ok." A voice behind Star said. Startled Star quickly turned around to see the princess of the night, Princess Luna. "Come little one." Princess Luna said before taking off. Star followed the moon princess as she sang a beautiful song. Soon other foals came. Later they landed and found a new land. "We must return to Canterlot my children of the night, for our sister shall be rising thou sun." Princess Luna said before taking off towards the mountains, in which Canterlot lays. Star was exhausted so she looked for some were to sleep. She soon found a soft bed of moss and fell asleep. This dream was different than the last one. It was every memory Star shared with her parents. Right at the end her parents came to her.

"We will always be with you." They said.

In the new Land

Chapter 2: In the new Land

"Hey wake up!" A brown unicorn colt said waking Star up. Star stretched and yawned. "Hi I'm Crafty! I've been helping the others make their houses and now it's your turn!" He said. Then she got an idea for her house. "I'm Star Shine." She said. She found a stick and drew her idea. "A hut like house? Easy enough." Crafty said. They quickly got the house built and started making furniture. "Thanks Crafty." Star said with a warm smile. Crafty nodded, smiled and left to go help the others.

Star started to get the few things she brought with her out. Her teddy bear, her mother's cross stitch picture that said "Home is where the heart is.", her father's bow tie, hat, and tie, and a picture of her and her parents. Star started to cry again hugging the photo close to her wishing that her parents where still with her. Star wiped the tears from her eyes and looked out the window to see the first star in the sky. "Starlight star bright the fist star I see tonight I wish I may I wish I might get the wish I wish tonight. I wish I wish I wish that my parents where still alive." Star wished. She then fell into a dreamless sleep.

An Amazing Gift

Chapter 4: An Amazing Gift

"I love you Mommy and Daddy." Star said picking up the photo and kissing it. Star was going to spend time with her best pony friend forever Crafty today. "Hi Crafty. How are you doing?" Star said seeing her friend.

"Hi Star. I'm doing good. You?" Crafty said.

"I'm good. So what are we going to do today to try and get our cutie marks today?" Star asked. Crafty shrugged. "Ooooh! I have an idea! How about we try to get our cutie marks in flying!" Star said excitedly.

"Umm... Star are you forgetting something?" Crafty asked tapping his horn and back.

"Nope 'cause this..." Star said tapping Crafty's horn. "will do the work of these." She added flapping her wings. They tried and tried but it didn't work. Then the sun started to set and the moon started to rise. Soon Luna was landing near the two friends.

"Hello Luna." Both foals said.

"Hello my children of the night. I have a gift for you my little Star." Luna said. The two curious friends followed Luna. Luna made a book appear and took a look in it then made it disappear. Then in a burst of light Star was gone. Luna could have still been there. Crafty saw a burnt spot on the ground and it looked like a star. He had a thought about it but he pushed it to the back of his mind so he could morn his friend who he thought was dead.

"Luna! Where are we?" Little Star Shine asked.

"Well my little Star this place doesn't really have a name. But this is where your gift is." Luna said. Then her horn started to glow a beautiful blue and a bit of Star's coat came off and split into a ton of little pieces and they started to spin around Star. Then a large light that was a very light blue and looked like a star was in the air. Then it started to come down to earth. Crafty saw this and galloped towards it.

"S-S-Star!? Is that you!?!?" Crafty asked confused and glad that his friend wasn't dead. "*Gasp* S-S-Star! L-l-look! You have a horn! *Gasp* Your an ALICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Crafty said pointing out Star's new horn. "You look just like the illustration of Luna when she was a filly! You look just like a princess!" He added.

"That's because she is. But she is an unofficial princess because my sister forbade me to make this town but it's been so very long since then maybe she will be fine with it and you may be able to become an official princess." Luna said.

"Whoa! I'm B.P.F.F.s with a princess. Mind blowing!" Crafty said. Star laughed at her friend's shock.

The Official Princess

Chapter 6: The Official Princess

"Hello my children of the night. I bring good news. You are going to be an official princess my little shinning Star. My sister, Princess Celestia approved making the town that you live in. I told her that I had already made the town and she shook her head and laughed. She said that 'that was just like me to do that.'. I told her about you my shinning Star and she said that since I can make the town and it will get bigger that you will become an official princess and you will rule over your town." Luna said.  Once the night of Star's coronation arrived everypony was there. Star was wearing a navy blue dress with sparkles that looked like stars on it and her crown witch had several gems that looked like her cutie mark.

"You look beautiful Star. I'm sure everypony that everypony will love you and I think you helping Luna bring out the stars at your coronation is a nice touch." Crafty said.

"Thank you Crafty." Star said walking towards her friend to hug him.

"See you after the coronation Star." Crafty said.

"I'd better!" Star said. Then the two friends started to laugh. The coronation was a big success everypony loved Star. Star soon adjusted to ponies bowing to her. Star told Crafty that she didn't want him to call her Princess Star 'cause she would always be Star. Star still needed to adjust to not just wearing a crown but also having a unicorn horn.

A Birthday Wish

Chapter 8: A Birthday Wish

On her birthday Star made a wish on every star she brought in to the night sky. "I wish that Crafty feels the same way about me as I do him." Star wished.

That day was also Crafty's birthday and he wished on the stars possible. "I wish that Star feels the same way I do her and that we can be together." Crafty wished.

"How funny. It has been quite obvious to me." Luna laughed as she heard the wishes of the two friends. "I guess that it wasn't so obvious to them how the other feels." Luna added. Luna helped the friends by giving them the confidence to go tell the other how they feel.

"Hi Star. I-I-I have something to tell y-y-you." Crafty said when he saw his friend.

"Hi Crafty. M-m-me too." Star said.

"I l-l-love- I love y-y-y-you." Crafty said nervously. "I-I-I was your secret admirer." He said reveling his secret.

"I-I-I d-d-do too. Thank you for all the gifts Crafty." Star said.

"The things I wrote in the cards where true. Your eyes do shine like stars and they are beautiful. I do think of you every day I think of you when I'm awake and I dream about you all the time. And I do see you when I see the stars and the moon." Crafty said. Star nuzzled Crafty in reply.

"This is the best birthday ever." Star whispered nuzzling Crafty.

"It's your birthday?" Crafty asked confused. Star nodded a bit confused. "It's mine too. And it has been the best birthday ever." Crafty said.

The Gifts

Chapter 13: The Gifts

Once Star and Crafty got home they put the egg in the nest Celestia had given them. The egg started to crack and the baby phoenix poked her head out. "Hello little one." Star said sweetly to the baby phoenix. "What do you think Crafty? How about Flamea?(Author: The pronunciation of the baby phoenix's name is Flame uh.)" Star said.

"Yes. I like that." Crafty said. They then looked at Celestia's other gift. Star read the spell and cast it. There was a bright flash of light.

When I was a Filly

Chapter 14: When I was a Filly

Star Shine

"Oww! That hurt!" I said rubbing my head after casting that spell.

"Where are we?" Crafty asked.

"Well we defiantly aren't at home." I said.

"You know, it looks like we're in the middle of nowhere." Crafty said.

"Well we'd best search our new surroundings." I said. I started to look around. I found a little filly in my search.

Luna

"Tia!" I said calling for my big sister.

"Lulu! Are you ok?" My big sister said.

"Yes, but look!" I said pointing at the pony standing behind Tia.

"Stay away from my little sister." Tia growled at the pony.

"Whoa, whoa! I'm not going to hurt anypony." The pony said.

"Then tell us who you are, and what your doing." Tia said not letting her guard down.

"I'm Star Shine. And I'm lost." The pony said.

"Tia." I said.

"What Lulu?" Tia asked.

"I don't think this pony is going to hurt us." I said. Tia's wings that were surrounding me to protect me, went back to were they belong.

Star Shine

When the filly called her sister Tia I thought nothing of it. Same with the other filly calling her little sister Lulu.
