Chapter 2

Chris finds himself laying on a picnic blanket with a huge basket of food next to him. He smiles and looks toward the sky, sun shining bright with not a cloud anywhere in sight. He then looks to his side to see Trixie looking at him with loving eyes. She closes her eyes and leans in for a kiss. Chris does the same and kisses her gently on the lips. But when he opens his eyes, they widen, as Trixie has turned into Whooves. Chris then closes his eyes and eases into it, kissing him very passionately, not wanting to stop.

But they skies quickly turn dark and cloudy. Chris opens his eyes and looks up, his ears folding back in concern. He looks back to his side to see Whooves has disappeared. His heart starts to race as he stands up and flaps his wings gently, hovering above the ground. But a huge gust of violent wind sends Chris flying into a tree. He looks around and notices he is no longer in his peaceful sunny field setting, and finds himself in the dark and gloomy Everfree Forest. He jolts a bit as he feels thorns digging into his fur and skin as vines wrap around all his legs, wings and waist. He struggles a bit, trying to get free of the vines grasp, only making the thorns go deeper, causing him even more pain.

A glowing pair of white eyes slowly turn red as Nightmare Moon emerges from the shadows, bearing her sharp, shark-like teeth. She then says in a demonic and demanding voice "Leave my husband alone! You have a wife and children! Your romance with Whooves is no longer to be! Her horn glows bright and becomes longer and sharper looking.

Chris's pupils grow smaller as he pleads. "N- No Luna! Please don't!" Nightmare Moon aims her horn directly at his heart and thrusts it forward.

The second it penetrates his skin, he wakes with a start. He sits up sweating and panting heavily. His heart pounding in fear and fright. He then covers his face, his hooves shaking. Trixie awakes slowly and grumbles a bit "W- Whats wrong?..."

Chris looks at her with a scared look on his face. "N- Nothing... Just a bad dream..." He lays back down and cuddles up to Trixie tight, his heart pounding agents her chest.

Trixie notices this and says. "Must have been some nightmare... Your heart is pounding like you just galloped five miles without stopping."

Chris puts his ears down. "Yeah... I wish..." They both quickly fall back asleep.

The next time Chris awakes, it is morning, he sits up slowly and looks over at the kids beds. Fire and Starlight are nowhere to be seen, but Feather is still in bed. Chris looks to his side and sees Trixie still sleeping as well. He gets up slowly and stretches his legs and wings. He walks out of the room and walks down the hall a bit and walks into a bathroom. He grabs a brush and starts brushing his mane, as it is a mess from his bed head. He hears knocking on the door. "Occupied!" He says. He then hears a stallions voice.

"Prince Whooves wishes to speak with you Mr. Chris." He then walks off and continues to guard his post. Chris quickly brushes his teeth and walks toward Whooves and Luna's private chambers.

He says to the guards "Um... Whooves said he wanted to speak with me?..." The guards nod and open the door. Chris walks in and they quickly shut the door as he walks in. Whooves is laying on the end of the bed, with a look of embarrassment and

confusion on his face.

"U- Um... Chris?..." Whooves says nervously. Chris walks over to him

"What is it Whooves?..." Whooves shakes his head a bit to shake away his nervousness.

"I think our son's need to be talked to about something..." Chris tilts his head.

"W- Why?... What did they do this time?" Whooves yet again has a look of embarrassment on his face and blushes slightly.

"Well... I walked into Starlight's room... and..." He looks away from Chris and scratches the back of his neck.

"They did what?..." Chris asked again.

"Well... You know how I said me and Luna caught Feather and Starlight?..."

Chris nods. "What has that got to do with anything?..."

Whooves then gets a serious face with an irritated look.  "Are you that bucking clueless?!"

Chris folds his ears back. "What do you mean am I that buc-" He is cut off as he realizes what Whooves meant, getting a blush on his face. "O- Ohhhh..."

Whooves claps his front hoofs slowly. "Good Job... Your not that clueless after all..." he says in a agitated monotone voice.

Chris's ears perk up and gets an angry look. "Oh shut it!"

Whooves then chuckles and pats him on the shoulder.  "I was just kidding!"
