     Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria,two regal sisters blah blah blah. Luna turns into Nightmare Moon. Uhhhh ah here we go. Celestia retrieves the Elements of Harmony and tries to use them to defeat Nightmare Moon. Celestia gathers all the power that she has left and blasts a beam of light,but Nightmare Moon wasn't going down without a fight and did the same. When their beams clashed,the sun and moon did as well and created a solar eclipse. Nightmare Moon saw this and knew what was going to happen then gave in.

     After the fight Celestia flew down to grieve on what she's done. Then she heard a very faint crying and went to go find the source of it. It was coming from behind a piece of rubble from the castle. To her surprise she found a foal with eyes of bloody red and a coat of the blackest of nights. When it saw her it crawled to her leg and hugged it. She look around for somepony but there was nopony around except her and the foal. Then she looked up and saw that the solar eclipse was still in the sky. That's when she realized that the black foal was hers. After she calms it down, she checks if its a filly or a colt. To her surprise it was a colt. Then she held him tight and uses a time traveling spell to travel 982 years in the future. When she got there,she went to go meet up with herself.

     After a while she found herself and told her what happened,then tells her to take good care of this colt and with a flash of light she was gone. Tia looks at the colt and names him Sol Eclipse. Then she smiles at him and and says."Hay there little foal my name is princess Celestia,but you can call me Mommy."

She then takes him to the castle and puts him to bed. "Goodnight my little sunshine." She said before kissing him on the head."Sweet dreams."she said as she closed the door. Celestia goes to her room across the hall and takes off her shoes,amulet, and crown. Then she lowers the sun and raises the moon. Finally,she goes to bed and said. "This is going to be a fun adventure".

     Celestia woke to the sound of crying and went to investigate. The crying was coming from Sol's room. She quickly walks to the door and opens it. Sol was crying his eyes out and she didn't know what was wrong.

"What's wrong with you!" She said. "Wait! You must be hungry."she said as she was leaving the room. Then she came back with a bottle of milk. "There we are a warm bottle of milk." She set the bottle in front of Sol. "Come on, drink up." Sol picks the bottle up and throws it in Celestia's direction, but ends up going over the crib and hits the ground then rolls and hits her hoof. Sol started to cry again.

     Two hours later a female royal guard walks in the room,looks at Sol, and said "did you try bringing the crib into your room. He probably had a nightmare?"

Celestia pulled the crib into her room. Sol stopped crying and he was out cold. Celestia thanks the guard for her help and went to bed.

     The next morning,Celestia woke to her alarm clock and rises the sun. Then goes over to the crib and says "Good morning Solly". She lifts the blanket and he wasn't there." Sol? Sol?! Sol where'd you go?" She looks in every nook and cranny of her room for him."He must have gotten out". As she was going towards the door,she felt something nibbling on her mane. She looks at her mane closely and a small black hoof booped her snout. Then her mane started to giggle. "I've got you now!" she said with a smile. She put her hoof in her mane, but there was nothing there. "Hay where'd you go. I've could've sworn you were here." Then she heard something on the bed. "Ah ha!" She said with confidence. "What?" She look up and Sol was on the ceiling. Walking on his hind legs. "How are you doing that!?" She grabs him and sets him on the floor. When she set him down, he started to stand on his hind legs. She took a closer look at his legs and his knees where bent forwards. Celestia was amazed what the little colt could do. She picked him up and brought him to the kitchen.

     During breakfast, a guard informed Celestia that if she doesn't leave now she'll be late to cut the ceremonial ribbon for the new Starswirl museum of magic and history. She sighs and says " do we have a foal carrier".

     After a few minutes of walking, they finally got to the ribbon ceremony.

"Glad you could make it here, princess." Said the construction worker. "What's with the baby." He said.

"This little colt is my son." She said with a grin. Then all of a sudden all eyes were on her. Then the crowd swarmed her and started asking questions about her child.

"Is the foal a filly or a colt?!"a reporter said.

"A colt." Celestia said.

"What's your child's name?!" another reporter said.

"Sol Eclipse" she said.

"Why is he black instead of white?!" A third reporter said.

"Why doesn't he have wings and a horn?!" A forth reporter said.

"Who is the father?!" A fith reporter said.

"How come you didn't look pregnant?!" A male reporter said.

"Is the father one of the Royal guards?!" Another male reporter said.

"What was it like having intercourse with the father of your child?!" A writer said.

"Has the father proposed to you yet?!" A Sixth reporter said.

"Those are some very interesting question and I'll answ... Hey look its a dog walking a pony!" Celestia shouted.

"Oh,I gotta see this!" the crowd said. With a flash of light she was gone.

"Why do we keep falling for that?" A reporter said.

"Cause its hilarious!" The crowd boomed.

"Yeah I guess that's true."

     "Looks like I'm going to be avoiding for the rest of the day" Celestia said. "Well I think we should be getting back home, Sol. Its almost lunch time."

After a few minutes, Celestia saw a restaurant.

"How about we have our lunch in there. How's that sound, Sol." She walked towards the restaurant and opened the door. When she did everypony looked at her and started to whisper.

"I expect this place to be more fancy." She whispered.

"Welcome to FryBales, your majesty. Where our motto is "Are you smellin what were cookin". Said the cashier. "May I take your orders"

"Yes, what do you think we should have Sol." Sol tries to reach for the menu."I think he wants our new Hay Pattie?!" She said while smiling at Sol.

"OK, then that's what we'll have"

"Coming right up your Highness. Just sit down any were you want"

"Thank you for your service, how much will this cost?" She said as she pulled a bit bag out of her pokect.

"Its on the house"

Celestia goes to sit down at an empty table. A waitress comes out with there food and brings it to there table.

"Bone apatite" said the waitress.

After she thanked the waitress, she levitated the Pattie to her mouth and took a small bite."This thing is amazing." She said before devouring the Patti. After she was done, she got up and grabbed Sol. Then while she was leaving she said "That Pattie was so good that I just might come back tomorrow."

     "Its getting a little dark. I think its time to head home". Sol lifted his hoof and he tried to grab the moon. "Awww,your just too cute." Then Celestia takes a whiff of the air."I also think you need a bath". Then she teleports to her castle. After giving Sol a bath,she then clothed him and put him to bed."Goodnight, my little Solly." says Celestia. She then lowered the sun and raised the moon. Then she took off her shoes, amulet, and crown then goes to bed.

Before going to sleep Sol heard a voice. "Goodnight my angel of darkness." Said a mysterious voice. Sol then blacked out.
