Chapter 5

Crystal Heart and Night Wing were both staring out of their windows thinking about each other and when they could meet again, when a magic scroll appeared and landed right at Crystal Heart's feet. Crystal Heart wondered who the scroll could've come from, she was secretly hoping it was from Night Wing so she opened the scroll and started reading, the scroll said.

"Dear Crystal Heart,

Please could we meet again tonight at the abandoned castle in the Everfree Forest?

From your friend

Night Wing."

Crystal Heart was so happy that Night Wing wanted to meet her again she replied.

"Dear Night Wing,

Yes I would love to meet again at the castle in the Everfree Forest. How about we meet about 8:00 when everypony is either asleep or too busy to notice that we are gone?

From your friend

Crystal Heart."

Crystal Heart sent the scroll off with a poof of magic.

Meanwhile in the Luna kingdom Night Wing was waiting for one of the guards to come and get him so that he join his father, who was going to the Solar side of the kingdom to talk about battle plans and how to protect both sides of the kingdom from any dark forces.

Night Wing so wanted to join his father so that he could see Crystal Heart again but he then realised that he couldn't talk to her because they were keeping their friendship a secret so that their parents wouldn't know.

Just as he heard the guard's footsteps coming down the hall a scroll appeared and landed right on his head.

"Oww!" Night Wing said rubbing his head where it hurt.

He used his magic to pick up the scroll and read it as he read the scroll, his heart jumped for joy as he replied

"Dear Crystal Heart,

That would be perfect.

See you then.

Night Wing."

He then heard a knock on his bedroom door and the guard said.

"Prince Night Wing, your father is leaving now and told me to come and get you to join him on his trip."

Night Wing quickly sent the scroll off in a cloud of magic and replied.

"I am just coming do I need to bring anything with me on this trip?"

"Just a quill and a notebook, your father has plenty of ink that you can use, now hurry up." The guard said impatiently.

"Ok, I am ready now." Night Wing said as he used his magic to pick up his bag with all his stuff and followed the guard to where his father was waiting for him in the chariot that would take them to the Solar Kingdom.

"Hello father why are we going to the Solar Kingdom?" Night Wing asked.

"We are going there so that I can discuss with King Solar Flare the best ways to protect both sides of the kingdom. Your mother is joining us as well." King Dark Knight replied.

"There you both are my handsome husband and dashing son." Queen Silver Star said.

Both father and son blushed at the same time.

"Please could you join the King and the Prince in the chariot your highness as we need to take off as soon as possible to get to the Solar kingdom before nightfall." One of the Pegasus guards said.

Queen Silver Star joined her family in the chariot and then they set off to the Solar side of the kingdom.

Meanwhile in the Solar Kingdom.

"Mother, Father why are we meeting with the Luna royal family and why do I have to take part in the meeting?" Crystal Heart asked.

"We are meeting to discuss the best forms of defence for both sides of the kingdom." King Solar Flare replied.

"You dear as future ruler of the Solar Kingdom, you need to get know your fellow future rulers as in their son who will be ruling over the Luna Kingdom in the future." Queen Golden Heart said.

Crystal Heart wondered if Night Wing could be the future king they were talking about. She couldn't tell them that she had already met him because they would probably punish her for meeting the future ruler of the Luna Kingdom before this meeting. This exact same thought was going through Night Wings head but about Crystal Heart.

Crystal Heart was just about to say something when she spotted a pony in the corner of her eye, it was Prince Brave Heart kissing another pony. King Solar Flare saw her stunned expression on her face and followed her gaze. Crystal Heart had burst into tears; King Solar Flare was so angry but didn't have time to react as the Luna Royal family had just arrived.

"We have now arrived at the Solar Kingdom." The Pegasus guards announced.

King Dark Knight, Queen Silver Star and Prince Night Wing exited the chariot and made their way to the Solar castle that's where they saw Princess Crystal Heart in tears with her mother trying to comfort her and a fuming King Solar Flare.

"Greetings King Solar Flare, may I ask what has gotten you and your daughter so worked up?" King Dark Knight asked.

"Greetings King Dark Knight, the reason my daughter is crying is because the prince I had chosen for her to marry has insulted me and my family by choosing someone else and as a result he has broken my daughter's heart." King Solar Flare angrily replied.

May I ask who?" King Dark Knight enquired.

"Take a look yourself." King Solar Flare replied.

"Ok I will." King Dark Knight said.

He looked at what King Solar Flare was looking at and saw the pony kissing the prince was none other than Princess Starlight.

Night Wing also saw it but was angrier than anything and turned to his father.

"I don't still have to marry Princess Starlight do I?" Night Wing asked.

"No you don't have to. You could if you wanted to but I would advise you not to." King Dark Knight angrily replied.

"Ok I won't. What about the Solar heir father?" Night Wing asked.

"You mean Princess Crystal Heart you could if you really wanted to I don't why you would want to though because she will have her own kingdom to rule and you will have yours." King Dark Knight replied.

"We will have to see how your relationship is wont we once you are both old enough to get married then we shall see." Queen Silver Star said.

King Solar Flare had calmed down now and was ready to talk about the protection for both sides of the kingdom.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything, I just wondered if King Dark Knight was ready to discuss how we could protect the kingdom yet?" He asked.

"Yes I am ready, Night Wing you should stay here with your mother and Queen Golden Heart and also get to know Crystal Heart a bit better." King Dark Knight said.

"Ok father." Night Wing replied.

"Golden Heart, could you and Crystal Heart would you please show Queen Silver Star and Prince Night Wing around the palace gardens?" King Solar Flare asked.

"It would be our pleasure." Queen Golden Heart and Crystal Heart both replied.

So Queen Golden Heart and Princess Crystal Heart took Queen Silver Star and Prince Night Wing on a tour around the gardens. They showed them the flower beds and their splendid lake with a water fountain in the middle.

Crystal Heart and Night Wing talked but didn't let on to their mothers that they already knew each other. They were talking so much they both jumped when they realised that both of their mothers were watching them.

"It seems our two young ones are getting along very well don't you think Queen Silver Star?" Queen Golden Heart said.

"Yes." Queen Silver Star replied.

Both Crystal Heart and Night Wing went a bright shade of red, both Queens laughed at their embarrassment before Queen Golden Heart said.

"Why don't we make our way to the dining hall?"

"That sounds like a splendid idea." Queen Silver Star replied.

So they all made their way to the dining, the two kings were not there so Queen Golden Heart said.

"I am just going to check on King Solar Flare and King Dark Knight to see if they are ready to join us yet. Would you care to join me Queen Silver Star?"

"I would be delighted. This means that Prince Night Wing and Princess Crystal Heart can get to know each other a bit better." Queen Silver Star replied.

After this both Queens left the dining hall leaving Crystal Heart and Night Wing on their own.

"I didn't expect to see you here today." Crystal Heart said.

"Is that a good or bad thing." Night Wing replied.

This made Crystal Heart laugh and she said.

"It's a very good thing. Would you still like to meet up at the castle tonight?"

"I would love to meet you tonight at the castle tonight." Night Wing replied.

This meant that they were able to talk about the feast that was about to happen once their parents had returned.
