A Princess's Son
Chapter two: Meeting The Princesses
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia's sun, rose majestically over the orange morning canvas, making the castle shine like an endless sea of pure white pearls. In the chambers of the night princess, Tommy slept pleasantly, dreaming about what every young boys dream, like superheroes, . 'Racing Cars' . It was a dream that he had quite frequently, & now, deep within his mind hoping for some consciousness, wanting it to desperately end.
Tommy's Dream
Sadly, the dream had already begun, & Tommy's peaceful sleep turned into a nightmare.
All the cars were lined up, at a local NASCAR stadium. Once the horn blew, they were off, either to win or get themselfes hurt in the process. Everything seemed fine for the racers, except Tommy's parents who were strapped together with seatbelts, with duct tape on their boddy's, but the worst part was that the car, was controlling itself.
As the race progressed, it became too dangerous to avoid on coming drivers, & soon there was a loud crash, followed by fire.
Emergency crews, rushed to the vhicle that had fallen of the track, & got little tommy out of harms way of the fire, his mom and dad however were not so lucky, as he looked upon them with great saddness he was on his knees crying for them to wake up, while two firemen stood at his side comforting him with their hands.
Looking at the boddies of his parents, he turned to hug the firemen's leg & asked; "why mr. fireman? . Why did they have to die?" with tears streaming down his face.
Jim, then picked him up, and said; "Don't worry son, they lived a good life, and I'm certain that they'll always be watching over you" with a warm smile, on his face.
As they walked, the dream was ending, & in a bright flash everything faded.
Tommy, awoke with some light deep breathing, & turned his feet resting at the end of the bed. where am I he thought.
He looked around, taking in the unkown apmosphere, with great curiosity, until he adverted his face downwards & saw a friendly looking creature that he had never seen before.
At first, Tommy shys away in fear, but after comforting him with her soothing words, he now opens up his arms & introduces himself "M-my name is Tommy, Princess Luna" he said softly.
Princess Luna returned the favor, with a warm smile before saying; "It's a pleaseure to meet you two tommy." Suddenly Princes Luna had remembered why she came up to her chambers. "Oh, hey Tommy, I had the chefs make us some breakfast. Would you care to join me & my sister" She asked, as she turned around to kneel on her legs, motioning for Tommy to ride.
At first he was weary, in fear that he might fall off, but Princess Luna reasured him that everything will be alright, & she'll defiantly be careful when carrying him on her back.
Once on her back, the strolled through the halls talking about the artitecture & how it was built, & learning that Princess Luna is an Alicorn, by answering a question he asked, about what type of pony she is, & said that unicorns have horns & do all types of magic, while pegasi & Earth ponies have neither, & are strong flires in the air, while earth ponies are hard workers on the ground.
They came across, a massive room that Tommy assumed was the dinning hall. Once inside they were greaded with another Alicorn, by the name of Princess Celestia, The Sun Princess.
Luna looked at Celestia, before saying; "Good morning sister, I would like to introduce you to someone" with confidence, that she would except him into their land.
"And, may I see this, someone that you talk of?" she asked, her friendly expression fading to a more serious look.
Princess Luna, being unsure if she should introduce Tommy, Reluctently decided to show him to her, out of being giving an order to do so.
Once on the floor, after being levitated down, Princess Celestia got a good look at him, almost like scanning for a deadly weapon at an airport.
When finished, her expression changed to a more happy & warm welcoming one "Welcome, to Equestria little one, my name's Princess Celestia" She then politly asked for his name, to which he said shyly; "T-Tommy Anderson, your highness" he said, before bowing to her.
Princess Celestia kindly gestured with her hoove and said; "hehe, no need to bow young one, & just Celestia is fine"
& with that, they kindly walked to their seats, and ate at bowls of fresh oatmeal while conversing about, why Celestia was more serious about meeting tommy, which she explained by saying that when she was sleeping, in her chambers last night she felt his presence, & wanted to make sure he wasn't a threat.
After saying that, Tommy frowned upon hearing the word 'Threat' He didn't want to be known as some kind of evil to this land, but having the memories of his grandmother's words made him shed tears of sadness.
Looking over towards, the little child, they rubbed their hooves along his shoulders; "Shh, it's okay Tommy. We don't think any different of you." she turned to celestia and asked for support, to which she nodded, and then spoke to the sad boy.
"Yes, Tommy, I'm sorry" Celestia said with, warmness in her voice.
The rest of the morning, was Tommy taking a bath & wearing some fancy cloths made by the castles Taylor, which consisited of mainly a navy sailor suite with white puffs for sleaves. It wasn't his favorite type of clothing, but it's better then wearing a stinky pair of plaid pajamas.
Strolling through the castle, Tommy came across a room that look farily new, as far as the architecture of the door goes. Letting his curiosity get the better of him he decided to go inside & to his surprise the room was very old computer looking.
Every where he looked there were levers & pannels on either sides of the room, & Tommy wanted to see what kind of fun treats this room held.
He walked over to the first pannel on his left, downwards and stepped upon three stairs, & pressed a series of buttons before he was in a completely different area that had changed when he pulled the lever next to the pannel.
Stepping down from the stairs, he was amazed by the scenery that, he lost track of what this location was, & the consiquences that might present them to him.
Suddenly, he heard a growl, from behind him. & saw that it was a furisious lion, ready to pounce.
Luckily, in the nick of time, Tommy rolled under the lion & ran as fast as he could to the exit, however barley a few inches passed his feet when the lion grabbed him by the back of his cloths. This is it, G-Goodbye World, H-here I C-come mommy" he thought as he began to cry.
Then, suddenly, a bright flash shot out of the horn of the fearless Princess, & the lion reatreated back into the room wimpering from the heat of the blast.
Luna looked down, at Tommy with an arched eyebrow, & he was now panicking with fear & saddnes "P-please Princess L-Luna, I D-didn't know T-that it was a D-danger room." kneeling down, on his knees cying lightyl, he expression changes to one of sympathy: "Shh, no little one, I'm sorry. I should've been watching you" She then explains where she was: "I was just making final arangements, for The Grand Galoping Gala, coming up in a few weeks" at that Tommy, took a curios interest & ask what it was.
She then explained that, it's a special party that happens every year at Canterlot Castle, & everyone from there and ponyville comes & join the festivity & company of good food & music, She had even mentioned Twilight & her fiends, who livined the place up three years back, & with a light chuckle she said that she's pretty sure they'll do the same this year.
"Oh, & speaking of Twilight, I just remembered that I want you to meet her, little one" Princess Luna said warmly, with Tommy on her back. Tommy being more curios then ever asked "why is that, Princess Luna?" in his soft tone.
Princess Luna just smiled warmly & said "oh, you'll see soon enough, young one." & with that they headed for the enterance hall, where Celestia was gretting them fair well & that, she'll see her sister later this evening, knowing what Luna's mission is, while being supported of her wonderful idea, for her student to be a mother, & for Spike to have his own little brother to help him out around the library & play games & just have fun.
& with all these thoughts in her head, Celestia headed up the stairs smiling warmly.
In the streets of the beautiful town of Canterlot Princess Luna with Tommy in tow, headed for the train station that lead to Ponyville, but not without getting a few glances from a few snobs & Stuck ups did they finally arrive the the train.
Once inside, they took their seats in the center after getting their tickets punched in, by the conductor, & sat in the middle cart. The ride was very pleasent, as Luna pointed out the many colored birds that were flying of in the distance, and Tommy did his best to name them as best he could.
However, he started to yawn, after his fiifth guess of a red bird, & gently laid his head against the arms, of the beautiful Night Princess. She gently stroked his light tan hair & sung him to sleep.
Once asleep she held him colse, & said; "Sleep well, dear Tommy, for you shall meet your new mommy soon" very softly, as the train porceded it's way onwards, to Ponyville
