I sat looking at plans for a granary and estimating the cost.
"Princess Star Shine I'm here to remind you that your mother and aunt are coming to have dinner with you and miss Trixie tonight" Captain Starbound said as she walked into my room.I rolled up the blueprints and looked at her.
"Thank you captain I'll head to the restaurant now" I said getting up,Captain Starbound shook her head in acknowledgement.Afterwards I went to the town restaurant,the head chef was there to greet me.
"Ah Princess Star Shine it's so good to see you," he said bowing, I smiled and said.
"My mother and aunt are coming tonight to have dinner with me and my marefriend Trixie" the chef silently listened.
"Well I'm happy to serve your beautiful mother and aunt," he said with a smile, Captain Starbound walked in.
"Your mother and aunt will be arriving soon part of their security detail just arrived and informed me"Captain Starbound said looking at me,I nodded then looked at her,she looked as though she had been crying.
"Are you ok?"I asked concerned.
"Yes mam I'm always ready for action, " Captain Starbound said sounding a little evasive.
"O, I want the other guards to be ready when my mom and aunt arrive," I said walking to the door.
"Yes mam I'll begin making preparations," Captain Starbound said following me, I nodded walking outside.I walked over to Sapphire once outside.
"Sapphire, what's the weather gonna be like for tonight?" I asked wanting to make sure no dust storms were expected for the night.
"All will be calm tonight and it will be a cool fifty degrees," Sapphire said happily.
"That's wonderful," I said smiling and clasping my hands.
"Well I need to get back to my office now princess have a nice day" Sapphire said and I walked to the hotel me and Trixie were staying at.I opened the door and walked in,the first thing I saw was Trixie fast asleep.
"Trixie wake up!" I said walking over to her.
"Huh, wah?" Trixie said waking up.
"You need to get up and decide what you're gonna wear tonight," I said walking over to Trixie, she sat up and looked at me funny.
"For what?" Trixie said confused.
"Oh nothing I just thought we could have dinner with my mom and aunt," I said sarcastically.
"I forgot they were coming for dinner," Trixie said getting up.
"If you need something to wear there is a tailor here," I said walking over to the closet.
"Alright let's go now before it gets too late," Trixie said looking at me.
"Alright you go I need to start getting ready," I said taking off my scarf and dress.
"Ok I'll be back soon, " Trixie said walking to the door, and I went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After my bath I started getting ready by fixing my hair, Trixie walked while I was brushing my hair.
"Wow, how long will it take you to get ready?" Trixie asked intrigued.
"Not long you need to start getting ready it's six" I said turning to look at Trixie
"Ok I'll get ready" Trixie said putting her dress on the bed,I started putting my earrings in.
"Star Shine, does your mom know we're together?" Trixie asked fixing her hair.
"Umm no" I responded putting my makeup on, Trixie said nothing putting earrings in.I put my lipstick on as Trixie put her dress on and started putting her makeup on.
"Star Shine I hope this dinner goes well," Trixie said putting her eyeshadow on.
"Don't worry it will" I responded putting my scarf on then my dress.
"Ok good," Trixie said putting her beautiful light blue dress on.
It wasn't long before me and Trixie made our way to the restaurant, Captain Starbound escorted us and I noticed how shiny her armor was.
"Your armor is quite shiny, " I said looking at Captain Starbound.
"Ye, ma'am just want to look good for your mother and aunt" Captain Starbound responded.
"Well, you are really gonna impress the royal guards coming with my mom and aunt," I said smiling.
"I hope so Princess Star Shine," Captain Starbound said proudly, once inside the restaurant I and Trixie found where we will be sitting to have dinner.
"Well let's sit down," I said having a seat, Trixie did the same.The chef brought me and Trixie each a glass of cold cider.
"Sorry, Princess Star Shine I'm a little under staffed, you're," The chef said looking down.
"It's ok you're doing your best," I said comforting him, he smiled and walked back to the kitchen.It wasn't long before my mother and aunt arrived.
"I'm so glad you guys could make it," I said to them as they walked in, mom and aunt Luna smiled seeing me, they're dresses looked stunning.
"So how do you and aunt Luna like the town mom?" I asked very nervously afraid they might not like the town, mom looked at me before answering.
"Yes Star Shine we think it's lovely although it needs work it'll get better with tie" Mom said with a sincere smile,the chef brought out drinks me and Trixie had water while mom and aunt Luna had red wine.
"How are your drinks?" I asked before taking a sip of my water which tasted amazing, mom and aunt Luna sipped their wine.
"It tastes lovely!" aunt Luna said smiling,the chef brought out our soup on a platter trying not to fall,I watched as he made it to the table and set a bowl of soup in front of me Trixie mom and aunt Luna,I decided to ask him about the amazing water.
"Is the water from the area or?" I asked curiously, the chef took a moment before replying with a smile.
"I have my own well that supplies the restaurant with water," the chef said still smiling, I smiled feeling happy.
"It's amazing water," I said before starting to eat, the chef went back to the kitchen, the soup tasted just as good as the water.
"Star Shine the soup is so good!" Trixie exclaimed she was eating her soup quite fast after dinner mom started small talk.
"So Star Shine how did you and Trixie meet," mom asked as I took a moment before explaining things.
"Well mom me and Trixie met when I was 18 I visited Ponyville, Trixie was doing a magic show in the park, I stayed and watched afterwards we chatted for a bit afterwards we had lunch but nothing really happened until I went to Ponyville before coming here" I said explaining as best I could, mom and aunt Luna looked at each other for a moment.
"What exactly did you and Trixie talk about?" aunt Luna asked which I expected one of them to ask.
"We shared personal things about each other and our likes and dislikes and what our favorite color is and other stuff" I said putting my hand on Trixie's smiling,mom and aunt Luna smiled.
"It's good that you know each other well," mom said as aunt Luna finished her wine, we got up after mom finished her glass of wine.
"Mind showing us around Star Shine?" aunt Luna asked as we headed for the door, I nodded feeling excited to show them the town.
"Star Shine you never told the name of the town...." mom said after a moment, I stopped realizing I hadn't.
"This is Dawnstar," I said walking outside and spreading my arms dramatically, mom and aunt Luna smiled.
"It's quite lovely," aunt Luna said before I started the tour, we walked past shops and businesses such as the town tailor and town flag maker.
"Is that a park out here in the desert!?!" mom asked shocked, I stopped and looked at her.
"Yes, it is," I said expressionless, mom looked dumbfounded for a second before speaking.
"H-how did you get it to look so beautiful was it magic!?!" mom asked almost hysterical, I walked over to her and rested my hand on her shoulder.
"We use the water we found in the desert there are natural springs out here," I said trying to calm her down, she looked at me surprised.
"I-i-it's amazing!" she said hugging me tightly, I was surprised by the hug, Trixie and aunt Luna stood by and watched.
"It wasn't easy we had to trek out into the desert," I said wrapping my arms around my mother tightly, she eventually let go.
"I can see by this and how well Dawnstar is that you are a very capable leader," mom said smiling, I took a moment to take in what she said.
"Thank you, mom, that means a lot I love you," I said smiling, Trixie and aunt Luna smiled watching.
"I love you too," mom said still smiling, aunt Luna cleared her throat before saying anything.
"So Star Shine grass and trees can grow out here without magic?" aunt Luna asked curiously, I thought for a moment.
"Yes, there's enough water out here to support greenery" mom and aunt Luna looked a bit confused.
"Then why isn't there more trees and grass?" mom asked which made me think for awhile.
"I'll talk to my environmental adviser Sapphire about it tomorrow" I said before we finished the tour and mom and aunt Luna went back to the train station with their royal guards to leave,afterwards me and Trixie went back to the hotel.
"I'm glad they liked the town," Trixie said smiling, I smiled and kissed her she quickly returned the kiss.
