A Special bond
Chapter 1
Neon’s secret.

Neon walked through the castle - heading to his study. He had just gotten done with the last of his classes for the day, and normally the classes Neon had to take to learn how the parliament and other runnings of Equestria worked didn’t wear him out, but recently his sleep had been restless and he had been having odd dreams; dreams of a faceless pony doing strange things to him in his sleep and yet when he woke up he could never remember what they had been about.

Meanwhile in another part of the Castle Luna and Celestia were enjoying dinner together as they always did after they had completed the end of the day rituals of Celestia lowering her sun and Luna raising her moon.

“Sister have you noticed anything peculiar about our young Neon?” Asked Luna before she took another bite of her salad and wiped her mouth.

“He seems to be more drained than usual, and a little more jumpy but other than that no sister, why do you ask?” Celestia Replied looking out the window as the starry night-time sky.

“ I worry about him Tia, he’s had enough sadness in his life. Having being born a vampony, his mother rejecting him, his father dying; It’s the reason I adopted him, I wanted him to know what it feels like to have a real mother, a real family.

Celestia smiled as she watched her sister continue to pick at her salad, her thoughts on her adoptive son.

“You’re such a kind soul Luna, Is it because he can relate to you?”

“What do you mean Sister?” Luna Stood and walked over to the window and Celestia followed.

“I mean that he knows how it feels to be alone, an outcast, like you used to be love.” Explained Celestia taking her younger sister in her wing and hugging her.

“Yeah, I guess you could say that.” Sighed Luna looking out at her moon, memories of her darkest times, save for her banishment raising to the surface and making her cry slightly.

“Go, see if he’s still awake, if he is then you should talk to him about your worries. I mean you are his mother after all, if something truly is bugging him; then as his mother it’s your duty to make sure that you do everything in your power to make him feel better, and maybe just maybe it will make you feel happy as well Luna.

“Thank you Tia, I will. You know sister you always seem to know so much, I missed you when I was gone.

“I missed you too Luna, now go and take care of your son.” Said Celestia smiling as she watched Luna leaving the dining hall.

“So much work.” Moaned Neon as he stared at the paper he was writing about the pre-Celestian rule and the times Unicorns raised the sun and moon on their own. It was then that Neon heard three sharp knocks on his study door.

“Enter.” Said Neon confused he was unsure on who would be visiting him in this late hour as his mother had her duties to attend to and no doubt his aunt would be asleep so that she would be ready for another day.

“Neon, It’s me sweetheart.” Said Luna as she entered the study and closed the door lightly behind her.

“Mother, don’t you have to be in your night court?” Asked Neon shuffling the papers and straightening them out.

“The court can be held tomorrow if necessary, there is nothing that cannot be addressed by Celestia if need be, you are my priority.” Said Luna starting a fire in the grate and motioning Neon to come and join her.

“I’ve noticed that you’ve been carrying yourself in a different way than normal recently, tell me, what’s been on your mind?” Continued Luna once Neon had put his homework away and joined Luna by the fireside.

“I don’t know what you mean.” Sighed Neon turning his head away from Luna in an attempt to avoid looking his mother in the eyes as he knew what she would see there, he was never good at hiding his emotions, but in the case of the three thousand year old Alicorn it was impossible.

“Neon, you shouldn’t bottle up your emotions, it only leads to them building up until you let them out in a emotional overload, or they drive you to insanity.” Explained Luna as she held the pegasus in a tight hug as she tried breaking through the wall Neon had put between himself and other ponies.

“You are skittish and jumpy, more so than usual that is and you're not in as good of a mood as normal these last few moons, so tell me what is on your mind, and know this I don’t want to, but know I will check your dreams if it becomes a necessity.”

“Dreams,” Sighed Neon. “What stupid things.”

“Have you been having nightmares?” Asked Luna drawing the conclusion from what Neon said.

“Not so much nightmares as dreams that I can’t make heads nor tails of, and as soon as I wake up, I cannot remember what they were about.” He Explained as he nuzzled into his mother’s warm coat. “There is a connection that I can remember though.” Neon got up and dug through the chest that he had brought with him to the castle when Luna had adopted him, it didn’t have much and so it didn’t take him long to find what he was searching for.

“Neon?” Asked Luna as she watched him hesitate.

“You’ll always love me right?” Asked Neon as he held on to the item he was still hiding in the chest.

“Neon, I’ve been alive for over three thousand years there is nothing you could show me that would make me love you any less.” Said Luna seriously.

“Okay here it goes.” Sighed Neon as he pulled the item out of the chest and laid it on the floor, it was a diaper, but he didn’t stop there as he pulled out more items such as a onesie, a bottle, a pacifier, even a rattle; what was strange about these items were that each and every one of them were sized to be used and worn by a full grown pony.

“So, now you know.” Whispered Neon as he turned away from Luna, who quickly came behind her son and embraced him in her aura.

“So you are an adult foal, and that is okay my child, believe me when I say there are so many worse things that somepony could be, and I don’t find it surprising in the least, not when I take all I know about you into consideration.” Luna Smiled as she held him close.

“So you don’t find it weird or creepy? Neon asked once Luna had put him back on the ground.

“Not in the least my child.” Said Luna as she laid back down next to the fire and Neon joined her.

“Then may I ask you something?” Said Neon blushing.

“You want me to be your mommy, don’t you?” Smiled Luna as she unbeknownst to Neon already had the diaper and other changing supplies ready in the corner of the room.

“ Yes please mother.” Replied Neon

“Then you should call me mommy instead of mother, there is no need for formalities between a mother and her foal.” Explained Luna as she levitated Neon over to the changing area and began to take care of her foal.

“Okay Mommy” Smiled Neon as he felt the coldness of the diaper cream as Luna applied it to his diaper area.

Soon Neon was dressed in his onesie and suckling on his pacifier.

“You look so cute like that Lil Neon.” Giggled Luna as she put Neon down on the floor and watched as he crawled over the the rattle and started to play with it. It was then that Luna had an idea and started over to the door.

“Excuse me Sir Guard?” Asked Luna as one of her night guards past by.

“Yes your highness.” Replied the guard coming to a halt and saluting.

“Could you keep an eye on Neon while I go and collect a few things.” Smiled Luna as the guard slowly entered the room and seen Neon dressed in his foalish attire.

“Of course your highness, I’ll make sure that he stays safe.” Replied the guard in a Trottingham accent as Luna left to collect the items that she had thought of.

Luna returned some thirty minutes later with several items in her aura, a highchair,playpen and a crib, what was funny about them was each of the items looked ancient.

“Mommy decided she wanted to take this all the way lil Neon.” Smiled Luna as she watched on while the guard read a foal’s book to Neon, who had fallen asleep in his lap having been so tired.

“I have a little sister back home in Trottingham, It’s not my cup of tea, but if the prince wishes to be treated like a foal, then I’m more than happy to help.” Explained the guard as he closed the book and tapped Neon on the shoulder. “Wake up lil one, your mommy’s back.”

“Mommy.” Replied Neon sleepily.

“Yes, Neon I’m back, and I brought some special things for you, all of these were mommy’s when she was a foal, of course they've been re-sized a bit to fit my lil big baby.” Explained Luna as she set up the playpen and crib, teleporting Neon’s regular bed into storage.

“Mommy?” Said Neon as Luna placed him in the crib

“Yes my lil colt?” Asked Luna

“I wuv you.” Smiled Neon

“I wuv you too.” Replied Luna as she watched Neon drift off to sleep
