Chapter 7: Guard meeting

Moonbeam walked down the long corridor. He was thinking really hard. He wanted to look nice for Luna's party. But the fanciest thing he had was a black bow tie. And that wasn't good enough. No, he wanted a suit. He walked up to a servant pony, to ask her if she has
Celestia.

"Well the last I saw her, she was in the Alicorn Archives, reading documents, and scrolls to her former student Twilght Sparkle." The maid had said rubbing her chin.

"Why thank you Maria." Moonbeam said bowing to the maid.

It made her blush of course, being Maria and all. Though Moonbeam has always been the charmer, at least that's what his friends had said. Moonbeam trotted down the corridor, his light blue tail bouncing back and forth, making Maria stare. Maria has always liked Moonbeam, he was nice and gentle. Like a former Pegasus that came with Twilight. And he was sometimes a daredevil, like another Pegasus, who was also Ms. Sparkles friend. He was very handsome too. His baby blues could make any mare freeze at the very site of them. Maria liked stallions, but if she was into mares, she would try to talk to Princess Luna. She was just gorgeous!

"Maria! Maria! Guess what!?" A pink mare with a purple curly mane that was put up into a nice neat bun.

"Huh, what what happened." Maria said quickly returning back to reality.

"Moonbeam and Luna are dating! Their such a cute couple. I totes ship them." The pink mare said jumping up and down. Like a specific pink pony she knows to be another one of Twilight's friends.

"What! Their d-d-da-dati-dating?" Maria said while looking very shocked.

"Well yeah. I thought you knew. I mean everypony has been gossiping about it, even the royal guards! And they don't like to gossip." Said the pink servant pony.

"Well I guess I wanted to get a good check, instead of talking and getting a smaller one." Maria said.

"And anyways, I don't like gossip. Unlike you, Bubble Blast." Maria said as she sighed, knowing that Moonbeam would want to stay with Luna forever. I means he's so beautiful. Her blue mane that shines like running water. And her eyes, oh my Celestia! They are like bright blu orbs. Maria said her goodbye to Bubble Blast, and went back to her job.

Moonbeam found Celestia in the location from where Maria has told him. Maria was his foal hood friend. They lived in Canterlot, and met in kindergarten. She had chocalate chip cookies, and he wanted some. She gave him some and her friendship with it. Moonbeam has always been the daring one. He still remembers her first coltfriend.

"You better treat her right" Moonbeam said intimidating the orange unicorn.

"Really Moonbeam?" Maria asked, giggling a little.

"What's your problem? Are you her brother?" The unicorn said.

"Something like that." Moonbeam said looking at Maria. Maria giggled. The unicorn just felt confused.

"Welp, I'll see you two later. Gotta fly." Moonbeam said winking and smiling at Maria, while taking off into the sky disappearing into the distance. Maria sighed as he flew off.

"Well that wasn't weird at all. Do you wanna go?" The unicorn said looking away from where Moonbeam left. Maria was still looking in the distance from where Moonbeam left.

"Hello Maria? Are you still in reality?" The unicorn said touching Maria's shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh yeah we should go." Maria said starting to trot up ahead.

"She totally has the hots for that blue Pegasus." thought the unicorn.

"Whatever." He said as he trotted up next to Maria.

Moonbeam walked up to Celestia and bowed to her.

"Your highness, I wanna ask you a question." Moonbeam said looking up at the mighty Sun Goddess.

"Yes, what is it Moonbeam?" Celestia said looking away from her documents.

"I wanted to ask you if you know any good designers. So do you?" Moonbeam asked giving a hopeful look.

"Why I do. Her name is Rarity. She is a white unicorn, with a curly purple mane and tail. She works in carousel boutique in the little village Ponyville. She is one of Twilight's friends. Twilight is my former student. So I can contact her and ask her to come to Canterlot and make you a suit for the party. I'm guessing that's what you want, am I correct? " Said Celestia.

"Yes you are. Thank you so very much Princess." Moonbeam smiling and thanking Celestia.

Moonbeam walked out of the Archives, and to the locker room to put on his armor. Luna went through took off her garden out fit and slipped on her shoes, and placed on her breastplate. And gently put her crown on. She brushed her hair again getting out the knots that showed up during brunch. She styled it into a cute little ponytail. And she sprayed herself with her perfume she walked out of her room.

And she trotted to the throne room. As she entered she saw a whole lot of guards. She made her way to the thrones, and noticed that Celestia wasn't there yet. All the guards were talking to each other. She looked over the crowd of stallions and noticed a blue Pegasus. It was Moonbeam, he was talking to Terry, and a bat pony that Luna has met, his name was Dark Shadow. She just kept on looking over the crowd. They looked a lot alike. It was weird. She's heard of triplets, but this was weird. Some looked different, like Moonbeam, Terry, and Dark Shadow. There was also a earth pony. He was green, with purple hair. It was wavy, and really shiny. His eyes were also purple. Like Twilight's eyes. His cutiemark looked like a helmet. Which probably means protection, or safety.

Probably a good reason he became a royal guard. Luna noticed a figure coming through a doorway. It was Celestia, she looked really tired, probably cause she was doing documents. Celestia walked gracefully to the thrones. And stood next to Luna. Celestia kept trying to quiet the guards, but here voice was to soft. Luna got angry, cause they were ignoring her sister.

"SILENCE!" Luna yelled in her Nightmare Night voice. Her voice booming through the room and their ears. They quickly turned their attention to Luna.

Luna blushed, in embarrassment. Celestia looked at Luna, and smiled.

"We need to work on your temper." Celestia said with a giggle.

"Sorry, you know I have a short fuse." Luna said still blushing in embarrassment. Celestia cleared her throat and spoke.

"Now I know you are wondering what are we doing here. Well as you do know, my sister has been released from her cold prison. And she would like know the names of our each and every one of you. So if you all can into a nice straight line for me." Celestia said waving her hoof. The guards all did what they were told.

"Okay thank you. Now here's how were going to do this, I want you walk up and say your name. And say what kind of guard you are. Like night guard, morning guard, royal guard, and so on." Celestia said. The guards just looked at Luna with a very frightened look. Celestia rolled her violet eyes and went to the front of the line.

"Here I'll show you." Celestia said while she walked very gracefully to Luna.

She opened her wings and said, "Hello there fair princess of the night, I am Celestia. I am the Princess of the sun. I am very glad of your return." Celestia said and bowed to her own sister. The guards were shocked, and so was Luna. She was gawking at her sister, her sister, bowing to HER!

Luna stopped gawking and said, "Tis very grateful to meet you Celestia." And with that Luna bowed to Celestia, and I mean a full on bow. Celestia stood up all the way, puffing out her chest, and with pride, she walked to the back of the line.

"Do you understand now?" Celestia said looking at the guards. All the guards nodded.

"Now you don't need to say exactly what I said, okay?" Celestia said looking at the guards, one eyebrow raised. All, the guards saluted to show that they understood.

"Good." Celestia said. And she walked back to the thrones, and sat onto hers. The fist guard walked up to Luna and spoke in a deep voice.

"I am Shadow Crawler. I am a night a guard, and is very happy of your return." He bowed to Luna.

"Tis very grateful to make your acquaintance." Luna said as she bowed low to the ground. The guard walked to the back of the line. Then the next guard walked up.

It was about three hours later until the last guard went. It was Moonbeam. Luna blushed at the site of him. Moonbeam walked up to Luna with the most confidence than any of the other guards. Celestia rolled her eyes, and huffed.

Moonbeam looked at Luna dead in the eyes and said, "Hello there beautiful Princess Luna. I am Moonbeam. I am also a morning guard. I am very glad that you have returned from the moon." Said Moonbeam smiling. He grabbed Luna's hoof and kissed it. All the guards looked at him with envy. Especially Terry and Dark Shadow. Moonbeam winked at Luna.

"Tis very flattered to meet you fair Moonbeam." Luna said melting into his eyes.

Moonbeam walked back to end of the line. Celestia stood up and eyed Moonbeam.

She gave a look that read, "If you do that again, I'm gonna stick my horn somewhere where my sun don't shine." Celestia spoke,

"Well was that everypony?" All the guards nodded.

"Now Luna do think you can remember all their names?" Celestia said looking at Luna.

"Yes, I think it might take some time." Luna said biting her bottom lip.

"That's okay, while we were doing this. I wrote down their names. Here is a scroll of all their names. And I even put a picture next to each. You can study them. And after the party, I'll teach you about this century." Celestia said nudging Luna.

"Sounds awesome!" Luna said as she hugged Celestia.

"Awwwwwww!" All the guards said. The two sisters rolled their eyes.

As the guards left, Luna made her way through, then she got impatient, and opened her huge wings and with one flap she was halfway to the roof. And she gracefully flew all the way to her room.
