~Time Skip: Later That Night~

Twilight, Spike and Starry Blaze had just finished setting up the blanket, drinks and food when Rarity and Sweetie Belle arrived.

“What a marvelous night it is for star gazing!” Rarity said, looking up into the cozmos. The sky was a bright pink with sunset, and some of the dimmer stars were beginning to appear.

“Hey, thats a big grin you got there! What happened?” Sweetie Belle bent down to be eye to eye with the filly.

“I got my cutie mark!” She said, turning so her flank could be seen. Sweetie Belle smiled and stood up, smiling down at Starry Blaze.

“Well, aren’t you quick! It took me a long time before I got mine.” She said. “Now, let’s look for the others. I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces!” The unicorn turned and Starry Blaze could see her cutie mark; a bright pink bell with a purple music note. The mare did have an amazing voice.

“Howdy Y’all!” Apple Jack shouted from closer to the bottom of the hill. Behind her Apple Bloom was waving her hoof in the air. Starry Blaze did the same and Sweetie Belle beckoned them up.

“What’s up Sweetie Belle? Okay, somefin’ must of happened. Spill!” Apple Bloom said. Once again, the little filly turned to show the two mares her flank.

“Well done, Sugar Cube! I’m proud of ya!” Apple Jack smiled. Apple Bloom simply hugged Starry Blaze, too happy for words. Rarity remembered something and opened her saddle bag.

“Blaze, come here! I just remembered something.” She said, obscuring an object with her hoof. The filly trotted to the white unicorn. “Now, shut your eyes. No peaking!” Starry Blaze shut her eyes unwillingly as something pressed into her mane.

“Vwalla! You can open your eyes now.” Rarity said. Starry Blaze opened her eyes to see that there was a mirror in front of her. In her mane there was a moon shaped barrette.

“Thank you Rarity! It’s beautiful!” She said. I wonder if Princess Luna will like it too…

“Hey! Whats all the hullabaloo?” Rainbow Dash called from above.

“Yea! Did we miss something?” Scootaloo said.

“Come on down and I’ll show you!” Starry Blaze said. Once their hooves touched the ground, the filly turned her flank, once again revealing the blazing star.

“Sweet! Magic cutie mark huh? Wonder if there’s a spell that could trick out my scooter…” Scootaloo thought the last sentence aloud. She quickly blushed, though nopony noticed it.

“I think that’s awesome! Following in Twilight’s hoof steps, I see. You’re gonna go far, kid.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Hi girls! Hi Spike! Did I miss anything?” Fluttershy touched the ground with Angel bunny holding tight to her mane. Pinkie hopped up behind her, with a tray of cupcakes on her back.

“Hi ya!” She said, making Fluttershy jump. “Did something happen?”

“I got my cutie mark!” Starry Blaze bounced. Fluttershy and Pinkie looked at the filly’s flank.

“Congrats! I remember how excited I was when I got mine.” The yellow mare said.

“Yea! It must’ve been awesome the moment you got it!” Pinkie inferred.

“Okay guys! The moon should turn blue any second now!” Twilight said, her eye glued to the telescope. Just as everypony looked up, the moon faded into a bright blue.

“Woah.” Was all Starry Blaze could say. This looked beautiful. They all gazed in wonder as Spike gulped down a cup of punch. Twilight’s quill scratching across paper was the only other noise.

“Best night ever!” Pinkie said.

~Midnight~

Starry Blaze stood at the edge of the Everfree Forest. Every light was off in Fluttershy’s house, and the filly let out a relieved sigh. Before she left, she cast a spell on Twilight and Spike, a spell that made sure they wouldn’t wake up till the light of dawn. The shadowy glow of the moon and stars guided her through the woods. She came to Zecora’s house. She heavily sighed once she saw that the zebra was also sound asleep. The filly trotted forward, seeing the intertwined trees and the large rock. Princess Luna stood in the clearing.

“I’m here, Princess Luna.” Starry Blaze said, trotting to stand beside the mare.

“Good, I have the chest here,” she pointed to the wooden object with her hoof. “We shall open it together, and I shall tell you what you must do.” The filly put her hoof on one side, and the Princess put hers’ on the other. The chest opened with a creak, and inside was an object she was told to avoid, to never, ever wear.

“That’s the Alicorn Amulet.” The filly said, amazed. Did Zecora seriously hide this in a tree? A tree, of all places. She thought.

“Now, I’m sure you know a reform spell. Is this correct?” Princess Luna asked.

“Yes, Princess. That was one of the first spells I learned.” Starry Blaze answered. She could pretty much guess where this was going now.

“Good. I need for you to use the reform spell on the amulet. It will transform back to it’s original state. Before it’s user corrupted it with dark magic.” The Princess said. The filly nodded, and her horn begun to glow. A magical light branched from her horn and onto the object. It too, begun to glow. Once the spell was cast, Starry Blaze opened her eyes. The alicorn amulet, which used to be red and black, was now gold and blue.

“This was how it looked when it was first created?” The filly asked Princess Luna.

“Yes, and I need you to keep it. Don’t tell anypony. This must be our secret.” The princess said. “Understand?”

“Yes, Princess. I will do as you wish.” Starry Blaze said.

“You should sleep here tonight. I will wake you before sunrise. That way you can get back to the Golden Oak Library before Twilight and Spike wake up.” Princess Luna opened her wing and beckoned the filly to lay beside her. Starry Blaze cautiously did so, and felt Luna’s wing wrap around her.

“Would you like for me to sing you a lullaby?” The princess asked.

“Yes, please. I sometimes like to think that my mom sang me lullabies, before she gave me to Twilight.” The filly said, resting her head on her hooves. Princess Luna smiled, and began to sing her lullaby.

“Ask not the sun why she sets, why she shrouds her light away, or why she hides her glowing gaze, when night turns crimson gold to grey.” The lullaby began. “For silent falls the guilty sun, as day to dark does turn. One simple truth, she dare not speak; her light can only blind and burn.” Starry Blaze closed her eyes. Luna has a beautiful voice. She thought.

“No mercy for the guilty. Bring down their lying sun. Blood so silver black by night, upon their faces pale white.” Luna turned to the filly, only to see her smiling face. “Cruel moon bring the end. The dawn will never rise again.”

“You have a-” Starry Blaze stopped her sentence for a small yawn. “-A really great voice.”

“Thank you, little one. Now, you should get some sleep. You only have until dawn before that spell wears off.” Luna said. She watched the filly fall asleep. “You are a true child of my night.” She whispered in the ear of Starry Blaze.

Author's Note

The song is Daylight's End, from League of Legends. Silly Filly Studios (A popular YouTube Channel) did a Princess Luna animation to go with it. To me, it sounded like a lullaby, so I used it as one.
