"Star Watcher! Are you there?" Luna yelled in the gardens. Star Watcher finally reveled himself and frowned. "What is it now princess?" he asked with an annoyed look on his face. "If you keep up that additude I might tell Celestia to change her mind. Anyways, I convinced her to give you all the bits you need to make that spaceship!" she yelled with excitement. Star Watcher's eyes glowed until Luna added to her sentence. "and going to help!" she said clapping her hooves. He went back to his grouchy additude, but he acted happily in order to go to space. "Wow this is going to be great...." he said with a crooked smile. The reached the castle and it was midnight. Luna realized sh still hadn't raised the moon. It was still sunny and ponies were still playing outside. This made Luna angry knowing even if it was nighttime but the sun was still up, ponies would keep playing and not sleep. Star Watcher yawned and waited for the princess to open the door. When Luna snapped out of her thoughts opened the door and quickly put the colt to sleep. She raised the moon and set of to fight the shadows in her subjects nightmares. When Star Watcher woke up, he saw Luna working on spaceship. She had already built the nose cone and esembeled the engine. She had dust all over her face and body. "Hello Star Watcher! Breakfast is upstairs. You can eat with Tia!" she said hoping Star would get the hint. "Wait, why are you taking care of me? Are you letting me live with you guys?" he asked. "Yeah, you can live here. Your practically part of the family!" she said. Star Watcher felt weird but happy at the same time. It was weird to live with princesses but at the same time he was honored. He trotted upstairs seeing Princess Celestia eating lettuce cakes with whipped cream and a strawberry on top. He saw another plate with the exact same thing with a name tag next to it saying "Star Watcher". Tia glanced at him and smiled. He sat down and didn't even touch his plate. He was to busy looking at the castle and getting used to his new future. He went back down stairs to meet Luna. She was still working as hard as the apple family does. "Princess Luna. Can I do something to help you?" Star asked. "Of course! You can build the bottom of the ship! And please, stop calling me Princess. Call me Lulu!" she beamed handing the instructions to him. He was done building and testing faster than Lulu did. "Lulu! I finished the bottom and built the middle part too!" he said walking over to her. He took the wrench away from her and started working on the nose cone for her. "Hey! What am I supposed to do now?" she asked with anger. "Just hand me the screwdriver!" he yelled demandingly. She passed him the screwdriver and he kept working. Luna was very mad and didn't want to work with him anymore. She went to her room and slammed the door shut. Star Watcher got up thinking that Luna was working with something else and broke it. When he saw nothing, he returned to work. "Hammer!" Star Watcher yelled. Nobody answered so he yelled again and again but still no response. When he looked around he didn't she Lulu or the hammer. When he saw Lulu room door shut he went over to it and knocked. "Why don't you keep working on the spaceship by yourself! I should've known you would kick me to the curb from the beginning!" Luna yelled. "Lulu! It's not like that! I just thought you couldn't handle it!" he said begging for forgiveness. Luna quickly opened the door, threw the hammer at him, and shut the door again making a louder sound. Hammer hit Star Watcher's horn and snapped it. The top part was hanging. He rushed to bathroom mirror to see what had happened to him. When he saw his broken horn he quickly rushed to Celestia's room and busted through her door. Startled, she grabbed Star Watcher with her magic and saw his horn. Without any explaination needed Celestia took Star to her magic studio and put him down. She used a spell to fix his horn but he became very dizzy. When he finally straightened himself out he looked at Celestia and smiled. "Thank you Celestia," he said. "What happened to cause you horn to break?" Celestia asked. He explained what happened and she was shocked.
