An Old Pony Tail

Celestia was going through the day's events and as she looked at the last one of the day. A sparkling smoke cloud came from the door and up to her. With the help of her magic she turned the smoke into a letter. As she read the letter she knew it was time to go see her old friend. She walked out to the garden and saw her sister sitting, looking at the roses.

"Luna, can you come here? I think you would want to see this. Also, I need you to come with me somewhere."

Her sister got up and slowly trotted over to her. She just gotten up after she had lowered the moon that morning and she still wasn't fully awake even after being up for an hour.

"Yes, Dearest sister what is it?" Luna said in a sleepy way.

"It is a letter from Twilight that I think you would like to read." Celestia folded the letter to her sister to let her take it with her own magic.

As Luna read through it, she looked up and was confused. "Who is it sister, that is there, wanting to see me of all ponies? The only one there is Discord and I do not wish to see him."

"It is one of the oldest friends we have and the one you thought we lost long ago. But is waiting for you to tell you that there still here. I think you want to see them to." She was trying not to let her know who it was or that it was the one she cried over for weeks.

"Sister I do not want to see them or try to think who it could be. You know the last of my friends passed long ago." Luna started to tear up thinking of all her lost friends that she wouldn't see again.

"I think you need to see this one. I think it will help you more than you think." Celestia smiled down at her sister and wrapped her wing around her. "Now then let us go. It wouldn't be right to let them wait."

"Okay sister, but will you let me stay outside until they come out to see me. I do not want to look so weak as I do now." Luna wiped away the tears that started to fall down her face.

"If it helps you dear sister then I'll move mountains for you." Celestia held her sister as they walk out to the carriage to head to Ponyville.

~Back in Ponyville~

"So we know all this about you but what's in the scarf you have there." A rainbow colored pony asked.

"This? Its just some things I picked up on my adventures around Equestria and beyond. If you want to hear some of them I would be happy to tell you some anytime you have free." The colt was sitting in front of five ponies, a dragon, and a Discord.

"Hmmm...But before then can I ask you all for a favor?"

They looked upon the colt as he pawed the ground. Twilight looked at her friends and saw they all want to help any way they could after all he was family more or less.

"What is it that we can do for you granddaddy?" Fluttershy asked looking concerned for his well-being.

"Well its kinda silly for an old guy like me to say but I need some help telling someone that I've been madly in love with them for a long time."

The girls gasped and none more so than Fluttershy who jumped up and flew over to him.

"Who is it that has stolen your heart and would I have to call her grandmother?" She wanted him to be happy but she also didn't want to share him with somepony else.

"W...Well she stole it long ago and I've never told her. She was gone for so long and she thinks I'm dead." He stopped there and looked down. It looked as if he was tearing up but keep it to himself. "You should all know her. It's-" As he was going to say the doors open as Princess Celestia walked in.

"There's my old friend. How have you been for all these years?"

"I've been better I must say. Although I still think HE should be in stone." He pointed at Discord.

"I see you two are still at it, but at least you two are not fighting like the old days." -At this time Discord had gotten up and turned Peace Bolt's mane from red to pearl white.-

"For somepony of your age I think this color is what you need." As he laughed.

"That's very funny, but I know you could have done a lot more than that. I do see that you are nicer than the last time I saw you and that is because of the friends around you." He stomped his hoof and the color changed back. "But you also forget I know how to turn it back."

"Discord I have some thing I would like to give you for how well you have been." He pulled an old sword out and laid it on the floor."It may have lost its elegance but it still as beautiful as the day I found it. I want you to have it and go in peace. I know you always wanted it. So now you can have it in good faith that it will never be used to harm you."

Discord was really touched by this. He knew how much that it took for him to do that. He pick it up slowly and then tucked it away.

"I...I." Discord couldn't find the words to say.

"I know what you want to say, and I'm happy to say that from today on I will always be your friend."

Celestia looked on as she watch the old enemies become friends, just like she always wanted. Her smile was that of overjoyed sadness.

"Peace Bolt I think there's somepony outside that wants to see you more then I. I didn't; however, tell her that you were here. I hope that is okay."

Peace Bolt started for the door before turning to look at the others that are there.

"I guess it is now or never. I better tell her how I feel this time before I lose her again."

The five ponies jaws dropped as they realized who he was talking about moments ago. Fluttershy wanted to see if it was true or not so she was going to see for herself, but Celestia gently stopped her with a wave of her hoove.

"I think this would be better if we let them be. Its been over a 1000 years after all." She smiled with such a warm smile that Fluttershy just nodded back at her.

Outside Luna was walking around where nopony could see her. She looked up at the night sky. The stars were in the shape of one pony she missed more than her sister.

"I think this was a bad idea for me to have come." Then a voice from her past came forth.

-"But if you didn't then how would that had made you feel."- She looked around to see nopony was there. She then thought it was in her head as she looked back up at the stars. "Yes, your right I would have felt alot worse." She closed her eyes and tried to think of what he would have said to her next. But then there was a hoof around her.

"You know what I always say never have regrets and never let yourself fell worst about something you could have done." - Luna's eyes shot open to see her old friend with his hoof around her.- "The night sky looks better than ever. Hey! what's with the look? I'm really here, Luna."

She grabbed him and gave him a hug as she started to cry that it was him, he was there with her.

"Where were you? You just left me after Discord attacked everypony."

"I'm sorry. He dropped me in a pit and when I got out you were gone too." He held her and then mustard all his might. "Luna I have something I wanted to tell you that day in the garden. Will you hear me out now even though its a little late?"

She looked upon him smiling and nodded. He almost backed out, but then turned as red as his mane.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back inside there was some questions about how Peace Bolt could do magic.

"He's like me and Discord, we age slower than others, but Peace Bolt ages even slower than Discord and I." Celestia said to the ponies around her.

"As for him knowing magic nopony knows how he does it. He just does. He has more magic than any other pony I've ever seen. But he never uses it unless he needs to. He brings peace and understanding to all that meet him." She shot a look at Discord, who was floating about, with daggers in her eyes. "But his magic never worked on Discord. Not from the lack of trying mind you. For some odd reson he is the only one that it can't affect."

"So he has more power than you and Discord, but how the hay is that? I mean Twilight is now an alicorn for crying out loud." Rainbow said in a harsh tone.

"Please, don't be like that Dash. We all know that the spell I did could only be done by somepony like me. But what she is saying does make sense." Twilight put a hoof to her head and began to think.

Celestia smiled and looked around at the others.

"Well I think I should tell you this and only this. He's not from here or in better words this plain of dimension. He came here to hide form evil in his land and holds a great secret that nopony ever needs to know. You know the legend of the Chalice of life?"

"Ya what about it?" As Dash said trying to be less harsh.

"Well.. He knows how it works and where one can find it. He has only told me that much as to anything else about it I don't know. But he isn't the kind to just lie about something like that." As Celestia looked around she seemed abit off by telling them this. " As of now you are not to say a word about this to anypony or talk about it outside of this place. If you want to know anything more about him you'll have to ask him to tell you. He is not just going to tell you either. So you'll have to be on guard when he does tell you to see if there is anypony else listening." She stopped there as to say nothing more on the topic.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~Back outside~

"I..I...I love you!" His legs about gave way as he looked at the one pony that made him feel that way more than anypony before or than after ever did.

She cried even more before she wrapped him up in a hug that said more than she could.

"I've love you too. I was waiting for you to tell me then you were gone and..and...and I thought I would never hear you tell me.... I found your letters and everything... and... and sis told me that it was me and not her you did all that stuff for... You are not to leave me again you hear me!! Don't leave me like that again. If you do I..I." She couldn't finish she was crying so much. Her friend and the only pony she loved had came back to her. At that time the only thing she could do was hold him tight and cry.

"Luna. I will never leave you again. I'm sorry." He let her cry until she was ready to go in but at the same time all he wanted or needed was right here holding him and him holding her.

She was still crying as they walked back inside.

The others there seen them walking in holding hoofs and her crying all the while. Fluttershy was first to their side to welcome them and give both of them a hug. As the time passed they thought there was only happiness from here on. Little did any of them know that there was more to Peace Bolt's past than old friends.

   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is he there?" A voice from a mirror said.

"Yes, He is here sir. I think we finally have him." Said a pony dressed in black.

"You know what to do. Bring him to me and if anything gets in the way kill it." Relayed the mirror.

The pony in black put the mirror away and looked down upon the town waiting for the time to strike.

"Well its been a long time, but we have you now. Prince Bolt."
