I can change
Second chances
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSombra had just woken up and was headed to the bathroom to wash up before heading to breakfast. He was happy that Celestia was giving him a second chance to redeem himself---- though he must admit she was very reluctant about it. Luckily Cadence had a silver tongue when it came to things like this. Luna's persuasion skills went about as far as his when it came to things like this. Oh well, he thought. I can't bother about how much Celestia was against this because even though Luna hugged me she is still not entirely convinced yet.
Sombra walked out of the bathroom and saw Cadence sitting in the middle of his room smiling at him. "Hello Sombra," she said cheerfully.
"Cadence," he said with a respectful dip of his head.
Cadence returned the gesture and said she was here to talk. "Now that Luna and I convinced Celestia to give you another chance, we are responsible for anything you do wrong. You are going to have to find a way to get that temper under control."
"What temper?" Sombra protested.
Cadence laughed and turned her to reveal the bruise on her cheek. Sombra's shoulders drooped and he looked away. "Don't worry about me Sombra, I'm over it."
"And Luna?" He asked in a worried tone. "What about her?"
"She insists that she's fine but Celestia told the quards to make sure she stayed in bed today. Luna's still a little sore, and was really pissed when she found out about what Celestia did to ensure she didn't push herself to much to. So expect Luna to be in a bad mood, but it's not because of you. Celestia obviously isn't taking any chances and is making sure Luna makes a full recovery fast." Cadence chuckled as she thought about overhearing Luna in her room once she realized what was happening.
Sombra still looked like he felt bad about it though. "You think they'd let me see her?"
"Well I was gonna go eat breakfast with Aunt Luna in her room so I don't think the guards would mind to much as long as i'm there. Come on," Cadence said leading the way out of Sombra's room and heading for the kitchens. Sombra followed closely behind as they made their way over to the royal kitchen's where breakfast was just being finished up.
"Hello Princess Cadence," said the head chef. "Have you come for Luna's breakfast?"
"Yes, could you also put mine and Sombra's breakfast on the tray to?" Cadence asked.
The chef's gaze shifted over to Sombra. He put on a nervous smile, "of course princess." The chef hurried away and returned with a tray that contained some eggs, apple pancakes with syrup, and three tall glasses of milk in his magical grasp. Cadence's horn lit up as she levitated the tray behind her and thanked the chef as she walked out of the kitchen.
The two arrived in front of Luna's bedroom door and the guards looked a little uneasy upon the sight of Sombra. "Don't worry, he's with me," Cadence said, It seemed to satisfy the guards and they stepped aside and opened the doors to allow them entry.
"Hey Aunt Luna, I brought breakfast," Cadence said levitating the food and milk over to Luna's nightstand. "Mind if we eat with you?" She said cheerfully sitting next to Luna's bedside.
"Not much I can do to stop you," Luna said chuckling as she grabbed the plate and fork and shoved a large bight of eggs into her mouth.
Cadence laughed, "oh the thing Celestia would say about that."
Luna joined in, "let her see me eating so childishly for all I care. She's really being a little to dramatic about this. I'm sore not dying," Luna said shoving another bite of the eggs into her mouth. "Hello Sombra," she added seeming to brighten up a little bit upon noticing he was there.
"Hello to you as well Luna." Sombra looked away, "I'm sorry about.... well yeah."
Luna waved her hoof dismissing the words, "don't worry to much about it. I've been in worse condition. I'll be fine by tomorrow, Especially since Tia isn't letting me leave this bed till tomorrow," Luna sighed. "She's really over reacting. The doctor even said I would be fine so this is just annoying."
When Luna said this Celestia walked in, "how are you doing little sister," she asked.
Luna let the fork fall from her magical grasp as she levitated a pillow and launched it a Celestia's face. The pillow made contact with Celestia's face and fell harmlessly to the ground. The white alicorn showed a small look of surprise on her face as she registered what had just happened. "I see your doing just fine," Celestia said as she levitated the pillow back onto the bed.
Luna grabbed the milk and to a long drink of it before continuing to shove bites of pancakes and eggs into her mouth while glaring at her sister. Celestia rolled her eyes and, with a chuckle, made her way out of the room.
Sombra smiled and began laughing as he realized that even after so long Luna's temper had not changed in the slightest. He once again felt very grateful for the second chance he was being granted and realized he was staring at Luna. He turned his face away sheepishly and felt heat rush to his cheeks. Cadence and Luna must have noticed this because sure enough the were laughing and giggling at his face that was turning into a bright shade of red and he wore a sheepish grin on his face. Soon he was laughing as well and the three of them just spent the rest of the day together in Luna's room laughing and talking. Yes today was a good day to be free.
