How Did I Get Here?

I wake up to a loud nocking at my door "Who is it?" I yell from my bed, just now opening my eyes,

"Your maid, sir, you ordered me to wake you up yesterday." the maid says from behind the door,

"How long have you been out there?" I ask, remembering that I was just crowned a prince yesterday,

"Thirty minutes, sir." the maid answers me,

I open the door to see a mare with a saddlebag on her back, I decide to give her a couple more bits than her regular pay, and give her the day off, I will be gone all day long after all,

"Here, take it, and take the day off!" I said levatating the bits over to her, she was surprised with the amount of bits I gave her, and the day off,

"But sir!" but I interrupted her before she could say anything more,

"No But's, you take the day off and relax, it's the least I could do for the first of my employees, that and I'm going to be gone all day, with me getting used to being prince and all!" I smile, "Now go have fun!" with that she leaves quickly.

"Hello Prince Star, how was your sleep, did your staff treat you well?" Celestia asked once I got to the dining hall, I smile at these questions,

"My sleep what well, and Celestia, I only have on member in my staff, she joined yesterday evening, of course she was fine!" with that Celestia smiled,

"Sorry, guess I get a little worried when I have a new member that just joined us, and I still can't believe you were able to find staff that quickly!" I smile,

"I guess that if you get power from the sun and moon, you don't need that much sleep!" that got Celestia's attention,

"Wait, you get power from the sun and the moon? How long have you been able to do that?" I consider the thought with a hoof on my chin,

"You know, I haven't really considered that, I guess ever since I arrived here!" now Celestia is even more curious,

"Wait, there is another colony of pony's?" I shake my head,

"Unless you're talking about the Lunar pony's, no, but I can't tell you now, we have things to do!." I say with a giddy, but that is a mistake I shouldn't have made.

After a day of learning how to act, and how not to act, luckily all of this was learned from Celestia, we finally go outside to the royal gardens, I look around to see a lot of animals, but I don't see Philomena, I look to Celestia, "Hey, Celestia, where is Philomena?" she whistles in a rythmic pattern, I look up to see Philomena, Celestia holds her front right hoof, and Philomena perches on the extended hoof, "Philomena meet the new prince I was talking about, Starry Night, Star meet Philomena!"

I grab some meat, rip it into chunks, and throw a piece a Philomena, Philomena grabs the food from the air and eats it, then I start whistling at a very high pitch she just nods, and I keep doing this for a while, with Philomena just nodding, with Philomena talking to me every now and then, finally I do the tune that Celestia used to call Philomena, I hold out my hoof like Celestia, and she fly's over and perches on my hoof, this surprises Celestia,

"How did you do  that? She only trusts me!" she says with amazement in her voice, I smile,

"You know how I told you I wasn't from here, well were I come from we have lots of knowledge on beautiful creatures like these." with that Philomena taps my head, I look up to see her pointing to her beak with her wing, I nod "Okay, one more!" I say tossing the last piece of meat in my magic, she catches it in her beak.

After a few more minutes it comes time for dinner, so we head for the dining room, we get there to see Luna already sitting at her seat/throne, and my employee's family, I walk up to my seat and sit down, "Welcome, thank you for coming, I'm so exited that you're here, it would be pretty boring without you here!" the princesses agree with a nod of their head "And, please, none of that formal stuff, you're here to enjoy yourself! Now, please, lets eat!" with that, the doors to the kitchen open and a bunch of mares and stallions with chef hats on carry carts out with lots of plates and dishes filled to the brim with veggie platters and fruits.

After a rather filling dinner, Celestia excuses herself to her chambers, to get some rest, Luna goes to to raise the moon, I go to my new chambers and sit outside the balcony watching the moon rise, as the moon rises I start floating, I turn pale white, then, when I touch the ground I stop glowing, I sit down again and sigh, relaxed I just stare at the sky, blackish blue with the occasional white stars every here and there, and then the moon with its pure white glow,

"Hello!" I hear someone from above me yell, I look up to see Luna coming down to the balcony,

"Hello Luna, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your chambers, like Celestia?" she nods, but there was curiosity in her eyes, I could see it myself,

"Yes, I am supposed to be in my chambers, but on my way there, I saw a glow of white come from your direction, so I came her to check on you." I smile and nod,

"I guess you caught me doing my usual ritual!" that makes Luna even more curious,

"Ritual? Why do you do a ritual?" I just hold my smile,

"I was going to tell you eventually, but you've been too busy for me to, I am able to absorb the energy from the sun, and the moon, that's the whole reason you see me only sleep for up to an hour every day!" This surprises Luna,

"Wait, so you're telling me that you are able to take energy from the sun and moon?" Luna is still surprises by this, I just nod,

"And if you get here soon enough, you might be able to catch me doing my ritual! You should probably be going to your chambers though." With that Luna flair her wings and takes flight.

All night was pretty much walking around Canterlot, after a while of walking, I look up at the moon and see that its on its way below the horizon, so I start walking towards the gates of the castle, by the time i get to the gates the moon is halfway gone behind the horizon, I know that I don't have time to get to my chambers, so I break for the gardens, I was so lucky because when I reached the gardens the sun raises and in float off the ground, then I glow pure white, once I touch the ground the glow stops and my eyes open to see the two princesses standing in front of me just staring in amazement, I laugh "Guys quit that, you look ridiculous!" With that I turn around and whistle for Philomena, she swoops in above me, I hold a hoof out and she perches on it, Luna is even more surprised than before,

"I thought only you where able to do that!" Celestial just nods,

"Me too, but Star is something else entirely!" After that I turn around and let Philomena go and say,

"Hey Celestia, I think that I have an idea for the Grand Galloping Gala! Assuming that you are inviting Twilight. May I write?" I ask her, she just nods, I conjure a quill, ink well, and a scroll and write

Hear ye, hear ye, Prince Star and Princess Celestia is proud to anounce the Grand Galloping Gala on the 21st of this month, in the proud capitol of Canterlot!...
