The Final EntryView OnlineA Small JournalThe Final EntryThe Journel Author's Note: Hello there everypony, its your friendly panda brony, bronypanda here with a short sad love-ish story. l'm hear to explain a few things about the story so there isnt any confusion. In this story, Celestia is reading journel entries to a small audience in the throne room, the final entry being read first. As the story goes on she reads RANDOM entries from the journel with no specific order whatsoever. So its supposed to be written like this for all you people who are grammer nazi's who obsess over format and content (no offense, still love you guys). Anyway, If you guys are reading them, i am still working on my other stories (im having nightmares and brothers of the balance) which i hope you would consider reading, but im taking a little break and i was inspired to write this one, so enjoy guys. (Final Entry) "My Queen, my love, my Celestia, If you are reading this, then it is over, and I have faith that you and Luna Defeated Discord with the Elements of Harmony. It pains me that I could not be there with you to give you strength in your darkest hour, but had I been there at all, our world would not be as it is now and you would not be reading this. You must be furious with me at this point, and I know you better than anypony, so wipe your tears and be strong for me. You're also wondering where I possibly am and how to get to me. Again, it pains me to tell you this... .......It pains me to tell you this but....we shall never meet again. I didn't have much time left, you 2 were unconscientious and I had to bring you to safety, we fled from the castle but one strike and you and Luna were knocked out of the sky. Ha, I don't expect you to remember anything from that night. It wouldnt be long now, you were safely hidden. But......there... is where I left you, that was the last time i saw your beautiful face. I gave you one last kiss, a kiss that I wish lasted an eternity, a kiss I wish you could return, one last kiss. I hid the Elements of Harmony with you both. They were the only things that could stop him. That night we snuck into the castle and stole them, unfortunately they were protected by a powerful spell that alerted discord and his forces before we could escape. When we jumped through the window, one of discord's soldiers fired at us, hitting you and Luna out of the sky. I dived after you both, catching you. I had to fly as low as possible to avoid detection. We took refuge in an abandonded tower where i found a chamber were I could hide you. After that I locked the door behind me and faced Discord himself. (Journal entry) "I was no match for him. His corrupted power was too much for me to handle. I was quickly defeated and brought back to the Castle in the Everfree forest. I was torchered for hours. All he wanted to know was were you where. With all his power, he couldn't fool anypony. He loved you.....as much as I did. My best friend, looked me in the eye, and asked me the same question over and over again, his jealousy fueled by his madness and anger, but i could still sense....sadness. I betrayed him, not intentionally, you see, you chose me over him. And now he wants me dead, I can't blame him. He's heart broken and he feels betrayed. I betrayed him. Do not believe for one second that any of this is your fault, it will never be. The only one who is to blame is Cord, or Discord, as he prefers to be called now. He is to blame, his jealousy got the better of him. and now, there is no way I can save him. My oldest friend, my best friend, lost to the world. I lost track of time as i awoke in the dark and damp dungeon. I was cold, and hurt badly, my horn ached and my wings burned, blood dripping from the claw marks on my chest. But none of that mattered to me, as long as I knew you were safe, I could feel no pain. If you're still reading this I need you to believe me. As much as you dont want to believe it, it is done. I love you with all my heart and soul and I wish there was a diffrent way. Please forgive me for what I had to do. I will always love you". Millenium sky "Goodbye" Princess Celestia closed the small journal as she removed the crown that was on her head, her sister Luna comforting her and holding her hoof. She looked around the throne room, a crowd of her subjects listening carefully. Twilight and her friends were among her audience along with her niece, Cadence softly crying in her husband Shining Armor's shoulder. She looked back at the journal, tears flowing down her face uncontrollably, as she held it against her chest and sobbed softly to herself. Her King, her love, her Millenium sky was gone and there was nothing she could do about it. She opened the journal once more and read one line over and over again outloud. "I gave you one last kiss, a kiss that I wish lasted an eternity, a kiss I wish you could return, one last kiss". "One last kiss" Celestia cried to herself. She held the journal tighter as she thought about him. She longed for his warmth and protection, his powerful chest for her to nuzzle. She missed him, but sadly, she would never see him again. She paused for a brief moment to take a deep breath and looked around once again. A nearby servant walked up to offer her a cloth to wipe her tears, which she accepted gratefully. Luna was crying as well as she whispered a quiet "Oh Millenium Sky". Celestia whimpered at the sound of his name but she promised that she would stay strong for him. She opened the small journal and flipped the pages searching for diffrent entries to share with her subjects.. (Journal entry) "Yes, its too late, there is no hope for me. All my strength is gone....and so are my wings. He took them. He told me they were a sign of freedom, and as an example to any who opposed him, that freedom had to be broken. I did no fight back, there was no point. He spat in my face but I did nothing. The whole time this was happening I did not think of the pain flowing through my body. I did not think of the hatred I had inside. I did not think of escape. All i thought of...was you. All the moments we shared together, all the conflicts we resolved through our love for each other. I thought of the time we served as the king and queen of Equestria. We had it all, I had it all. A beautiful mare by my side. Loyal warriors who would give their lives for me, the love of our subjects, and a loyal friend. A friend whom I tore apart, we tore apart. That night long ago when I asked for your hoof in marrige, was the night I lost a friend and powerful ally....too powerful". Celestia once again scanned the room to see everypony still paying close attention. It was clear to everypony that the friend whom Millenium Sky refered to was Discord himself. She flipped some pages of the the journal again and continued. (Journal Entry) "Too powerful. I remember....He waited for the right moment, our return from our honeymoon was perfect for him. As we approached the city, all we could see were flames and battle. I remember your screams of horror and sadness. How those screams made me vengeful inside. I confronted Discord myself and drove him out of Canterlot. And so began the war. Between Equestria who fought for freedom, and Chaos that dreamt of tyranny. The war consumed our land, until only death remained. Only Canterlot was safe. Many other kingdoms were lost. Countless lives, whole generations....lost. But still Canterlot remained. It was a pillar of hope where ponies could find refuge and protection. But we had to act quickly. Discord was building a new army and was headed for Canterlot. Overmatched and outnumbered, our defeat was all but certain. The news devastated the people, numerous suicides where reported throughout the city. But in the war's final days, when all hope seemed lost, message of new a discovery was brought to us. A legendary pony magic know as the Elements of Harmony. Discord recieved the news as well. A desperate mission, a dangerous race, our world's final hope. A hope that vanished". The whole room was eager to know what came next. It was hard for the princess to continue. Painful memories of bloodshed. but neverthless she did. (Journal Entry) ''I insisted to the Captain of the Royal Guard that this mission was one I would take alone. You and Luna would not have it. Ha, I always loved your stubbornness. We reached our desination. To my great regret, we were too late. He had reached them before we had the chance. Withought the Elements, Equestria would be lost. Not while my heart still beated. I formed a plan to retrieve the Elements from Discord's castle so we followed him. Well you know what happens after. So here I am now, back in Discord's dungeon, alone and abandoned. I hope that You and luna are as far away from this Castle as possible. I know you have have the Elements now because I left them with you so there is hope for the future. If you decided to come for me then Discord would have destroyed you. Please, by the gods, I hope you stay away". More tears ran down Celestia's face as she continued to sob quietly to herself. Her subjects and sister desperetly tried to soothe her and give her comfort. She raised a hoof signaling them that she was fine and that she could continue. She looked at Twilight and her friends who just sat their with tears of their own. She looked over to the royal couple, husband embracing wife. Looking at them reminded the Princess of when she would embrace her love. Wonderful memories of their years together. When he was alive, they went on a picnic once in the royal garden. Millenium Sky brought the once queen to the garden's tallest hill were they just enjoyed each other's company and watched the sunset together. She remebered that day. While they were on the hill, they talked about their future. how their eternel youth would serve them well as they would be together forever. More tears came from her hers as the thought ran through her mind repeatedly. "Together forever". She repeated. She looked at the journel as her tears dropped onto it's cover. "You promised we would be together forever.....then why did you leave me...."? As the last words escaped her mouth, her voice became shaky as she couldnt hold her saddness in any longer and began to cry outloud, breaking the hearts of the ponies around her. It was a couple of minutes before the Princess could compose herself. All around, her subjects would offer comforting words. She was proud to have the loyalty of her people, as Millenium Sky did. There was one specific entry that the princess wanted to share. What was special about this entry was that it was written before the war and before Millenium Sky was imprisoned. She flipped the pages to the very first page of the journal. (Journal Entry 1) "Today might be the greatest day of my life. Everyone is so excited. I finally gathered the courage to pop the question to her. Hahaha and whaddya know......she said yes. I even began to doubt myself with every step I made to the castle. To be honest, I was more afraid of what her mother and father would said. To my great relief, I was embraced by his majesty, and almost killed by his great strength when he lifted me into the air in his arms. He told me it was a great day for both the Equestrian and Crystal Kingdoms. Through our marriage, we would be united and we would have peace. It's hard to believe that this happening. I remember the first time I met her so many years ago, being filly and colt. That day was when our parents were meeting to discuss important matters. We were introduced to each other by our fathers. Still young at the time, I found fillies repulsive, and no doubt she felt the same way about colts. We slowly approached each other and didn't even bother looking each other in the eyes. Together we mumbled subtle hellos making our fathers laugh. I remember how embarrassed we looked when your father said, "Well i hope you 2 warm up to each other soon, one day you will be wed and unite our lands". Now, obviously we were already betrothed, that's why our parents were meeting today. to discuss our wedding plans. Obviously, still being young, we were disgusted by the thought. She was a shy filly and I was a shy colt but I do remember thinking to myself that she was "kinda pretty". Hahaha I was some kid. I wouldn't see her again until we were teenagers. One day I was training with my father when I saw her. I barely recognized her. By the gods she had really changed. A lot. She was a strong mare with a slender figure, pink mane in the air. She was regal and prideful, her nose in the air. To be honest, I found her to be a bit snobbish, I paid no attention to her as I continued training with father. we talked maybe like once that day just to say hello and that was it. We both knew we were betrothed to each other and we hated the idea.We hated each other. Oh how things change. Then that one day. That specific day that changed everything. That day, both our parents were going to a royal gathering to chat with other royalties. I had intended to go the gathering, hoping to mingle with some of the other royal princesses. But no, since I was betrothed, My mother forced me to ask her out on a date. My mother, merciful but harsh, I did not argue with her, She was a queen and my mother after all. So i walked up to her royal pain, she was just sipping tea, while stallion princes tried to make chit chat with her. All in vain. Although i pretty much hated her, I was honestly jealous to see those pompous idiots flirting with my future wife, not that I liked her at all. So her little fan boys became silent as I walked up to her. I hesitated at first but then asked her. "(sigh) hey um....do ya.....wanna.....go out and do somethin...." I asked, not even putting any effort into it. She looked at me condescendingly and was about to say no when she caught eye of her father staring straight at me and giving her a glare that said, "You're gonna marry him so you might as well get to know him", and she got the message. With a sigh she said fine let's go and I took her hoof and led her out. She hated me and I hated her and we both knew that, We walked around Canterlot aimlessly saying nothing the whole time. It was getting late and we got dinner, which I had to pay for, and I got her an ice cream out of the little kindness I had for her. I was glad to see she was grateful as she smiled at me and said thank you but that didn't mean anything special. there was a hill nearby and we walked up and sat down in the grass, I didn't even really pay any attention to her at all. Haha this is my favorite part. While we were sitting there, this was the first time she showed signs of having a crush on me. Because everytime I would look her way, she would quickly turn hers away from me and giggle nervously, a blush on her face. I didn't take this very lightly as I thought She was mocking me, because I was forced to go on a date with her. So I yelled. "Look, you don't like me and I don't like you alright, but when you start making fun of me, that's when I start to get irritated"! She obviously took offense as her blush quickly became rage as she yelled back, " Well the nerve! Who said I was even making fun of you?! Just when I started to enjoy you following me everywhere with your eyes on my backside the whole time you pervert!!! It was my turn to blush but being a proud prince I defended myself. "Oh PLEASE, you WOULD think that i'm attracted to you! You probably enjoy having those royal idiots stare at your fat rump all the time"! OH how I shouldn't have said that, I would pay dearly in the distant future. Now she was on offense as she got up in my face. "HOW DARE YOU?? YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY THAT YOU CAN EVEN LOOK AT ME. MY SISTER WAS RIGHT, YOU ARE A JERK"!! I didn't even know she had a sister, but there it was, her temper and her narcissism. So there we were arguing and screaming at each other, back and forth back and forth. But then, out of nowhere, while we were still screaming at each other, mid-sentence, we both just shut up and moved our heads forward furiously to share our first kiss". Princess Celestia finished the paragraph when she heard whistles and awwwes coming from her growing audience. through her tears, she couldn't help but giggle as well. She clearly remembered that day like it was yesterday. She loved that memory. It made her feel like a teenager again. Luna was laughing as well as she remembered calling Millenium Sky a jerk. The princess looked at her audience again, "Remind you all of anyponies''? She giggled, looking at Shining Armor and Cadence who were both blushing and laughing. She waited for the laughter to die down when she continued reading the same entry. "Our first kiss. One I would not soon forget. We kept on kissing until we heard awwws and giggles coming from the ponies that were walking by, some of them taking pictures. Realizing what we were doing we quickly separated. She turned her head away again, giggling and blushing. I couldn't help but blush and giggle as well. We couldn't hide it from each other anymore. We were in love. We sat there and watched the sunset together. Our attitudes toward each other were now completely different. we couldn't stand to be away from each other and we were truly in love. Which was just flippin fantastic because we were betrothed. It's a rare case when you have a forced wedding in which the 2 actually like each other. After the sunset I walked her back to the castle, the gathering almost over. Our time together was dwindling quickly and I wanted to spend every second of it with her, i knew she felt the same way, her head on my shoulder as we walked. We didn't want anyone to know about our feelings yet so we kept it a secret, we quickly gave each other one last kiss and we parted. I'll be honest. It hurt. My parents and I were walking back to the hotel all the royals were staying at. I had her in my mind the entire time. Some stupid princes were bragging about how they would make her theirs. She's betrothed you idiots...to me! I wasn't very good at hiding my feelings because it wasn't long when I had my father's hoof patting me on the back as he said "Ah I know love when I see it. You made a move didn't you son? HAHA thats my boy"! I was a bit embarrassed by his outburst and I responded calmly. "I....don't know what your talking about dad'. My mother saw right through the lies and grabbed me by the ear. " Young Stallion do not lie to your parents. It's all over your face! You see? I knew that going on a date with her would help"! I gave in and started to laugh, my parents following. When we were at the hotel, I was on the balcony just thinking about her. Funny, how you can really hate somepony, but fall in love with them in a few seconds. Once again I felt my father's arm on my shoulder. I knew he was going to give me the father-son talk. "Son"? he began, " love is a powerful thing. It will kill you inside. You will want to see her everyday. I should know because that's what I felt with your mother. Now listen son, although you both are betrothed, as a Stallion, as a Stallion Prince and as my blood, you must confront her and propose to this mare like a true Stallion. You must prove that you show no fear and that you will be a fit husband and king. her parents know this and so does she probably". Every word from my father made me nervous, but he was right. Our Marriage would be set in stone if the princess accepts me as a fit husband. My father left me to dwell in my thoughts". The princess finished the entry crying again. It brought back memories of her wedding, their wedding. she looked around the room again to see everpony smiling with happiness. the sadness had disappeared from the room. She was grateful that her subjects enjoyed her story so much. after a short break, everypony gathered around again as Princess Celestia was about to read the next entry. But this one would not be as joyful as the last. (Journal Entry) "Here I am, alone. all I have left is my journal that i managed to keep with me all this time. Here I write my final words in my final days. i was once the proud King of Equestria, but now I am nothing. I have heard the gossip that the guards are spreading. I am fearful for my kingdom and my queen. They are going to attack Canterlot in tommorow. I am horrified by the news. Discord says without me, they are nothing. That's why he plans to have me executed before the invasion. I have to think of somthing fast. No doubt Celestia and Luna have formed a rescue mission for me. But that's not what i'm worried about. I know they are going to kill Discord with the Elements. I cannot allow this to happen. My father once said to me, " How can we imagine peace if we use destruction to punish our enemies"? It's time. They are here for me. The time of my execution. I know what I must do in order to create peace. She is probably on her way to save me. It pains to know they will not make it in time. They are here.... I hope this works... I'm going to make a deal with Discord. Author's Note: wow this took forever for me to make, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writting it. In the future, I wanna make a story about Millenium Sky and Celestia's past and when they dated and crap like that. I made a little summary about them in the story but when I make this one, I'm gonna put more detail in it. So like always, I'm fine with criticism as I believe it helps so type away my friends. until then, Ciao, Bronypanda
Wait for me...View OnlineA Small JournalWait for me...Author's note: Hey everypony! It's your favorite panda brony, brony panda here with a new chapter for "A Small Journel" Now i know I've kinda been lazy, but thats only because my internet has been off so i couldn't do much but I'm back now so here ya go!! Wait for me... "I'm going to make a deal with Discord". Celestia repeated outloud, leaving everypony baffled. It was silent, with whispers echoing in the large space of the throne Room. Everypony listened carefully for what the Princess was going to read next. Celestia fiddled with the journel, flipping through it a numerous amount of times trying to find where the entry would continue on. The look of confussion and desperation on her face was enough to get Twilight curious. She slowly approached the princess raising an eyebrow. "Princess..."? She said almost in a whisper. "What was this deal"? Princess Luna looked at Twilight in the eyes, then to the rest of the crowd. Celestia still despretely trying to find something that would tell her, ANYTHING, that could tell her what took place after the entry. "It seems we will never know". Said princess luna, concluding that clearly their was nothing else that could be found. "Sister, there is nothing more". She whispered to Celestia, trying to comfort her. The princess now violently flipped through the pages as if her life depened on it, only to be grabbed by her sister and shaken out of her panic. "Celestia!! Enough! Do not waste your time looking for something that doesn't exist. We will never know Millenium Sky's deal. And we must leave it at that". Celestia wiped away a few tears before she flipped through the journel again to the final entry and began reading it once again to herself. With a heavy sigh she simply nodded and closed the journel. A mood of disappointment was swept over her audience when she informed them there was nothing left to be said. Yet, they wanted to hear more. To be specific, about her love life with the late king. 3 small fillies approached her; one known as Sweetie Bell stepped foward. "Princess"? She asked. "Do you....do you think you could read more? More about you and King Millenium"? Celestia was a bit suprised at the young filly's request. She looked once again to the ponies in the room, all nodding in agreement with whispers of excitment. "That sounds like a marvelous idea sister"! Luna shouted. Celestia was still suprised by the fact that everpony was so intrested in her love life. "Well, if....if everypony is so intrested, I guess a few stories woudn't hurt". Celestia said softly. Almost immedietly, the whole room felt alive once again, her massive audience of subjects were very thrilled to her what stories the Princess would share. She turned to the very first few entries of the journel and began outloud. (Journel Entry) I couldnt sleep that night. For the rest of the evening, I sat on the balcony just thinking about her. I wonder of she's thinking about me. I'm still suprised myself at how we fell for each other. First we hate each other, leading to us arguing, leading to us making out, leading to us falling deeply in love, all in about 10 seconds flat. Then again I do worry a little. What if it was all just a cruel joke? I'm pretty sure she isn't called Trollestia for no reason. What if she was just using me for kicks? Heartbroken. I would be devastated. I can't backout now. Not after how I acted this afternoon. UGH gods im soo STUPID!!! what am I thinking?! Of course this was just a joke! I mean, somepony as regal as her would never fall for me! Sure I'm good looking but she's WAY out of my league. I mean just look at her! She's smooth, she's slender, beautiful, gorgeous, intelligent......amazing....perfect......Curses...I'm in love. What if....what if...what if it was all just a lie? What if she's trying to make a fool out of me? Is this revenge because she didnt want to be betrothed to me? To me.... What if im not what she wants? What if i'm not good enough for her? I have go to see her again". Princess Celestia paused after reading the paragraph. She chuckled after she heard a few stallions and mares whispering in the crowd "Oooo thats cold". Applebloom and Scootaloo were desperatley trying to silence Sweete Bell from yelling out "Oh come on"! The princess only smiled and continued reading. "I went back into the hotel room to check up on my parents. Fortunetly they were sound asleep. What luck! Slowly I went back outside and opened my wings, preparing to take off until I heard hoof steps step onto the balcony. It was my mother. Oh no. I was expecting her to start shooting lightning at me for trying to sneak away this late at night. After a few awkward minutes, she only smiled and whispered, "Go get her". Smiling back, I jumped off the ledge and took off into the cool night air and headed for Canterlot Castle. Now the castle is heavily gaurded and I mean HEAVILY gaurded and they let almost nopony in after dark, but lucky for me, when your betrothed to the daughter of the high king of Equestria, you have some perks. I flew around the castle looking for the right tower almost getting lost a couple of times. I finally found a tower that was the second largest out of all and I knew this had to be her chambers. Next to it, stood the spire, which was obviously the king and queen's special chamber. Want to steer clear of that. Landing on the balcony of the tower, I approached the glass door and peered inside, seeing a white smooth figure with pink flowing hair lying in bed. Celestia. Feeling my heart beating faster every second, I tapped my hoof on the door effectively but quietly on the glass. It was enough to wake her as I saw her sit up immedietly and looked toward her window. She walked towards the door and I desperatly tried to look heroic and dashing. Oh gods I suck. Yeah...so by now i had lost all confidence and was 100 percent unsure that I should continue living, so I opened my wings and was about to fly desperatly away. I froze in place when I heard the glass door creak open, followed by one hoofstep followed by a lite chuckle. Slowly i turned around and their she was.... Princess Luna. My face immediey exploded and I became redder than a tomato on fire. I facehoofed and refused to take my hoof away from my face. Still red, i backed away slowly and cursed under my breath. "So your Millenium Sky"? The filly asked curiously. (chuckle) if your looking for Tia, her room is over there". The whole throne room exploded with laughter, especially form Princess Luna. "I quickly glanced to where she was pointing, one of the smallest towers with a white figure waiting at it's balcony. "Oh" I said embarrased. "right" this was probably becoming the worst night ever right now. Before I took off I looked back at Luna, "Hey um, mind keeping this between us"? I begged. She only smiled and giggled, " No problem, oh and by the way, good luck, you'll need it". When she finished speaking, she went back inside her room and went back to sleep. A little dazed when she said "good luck", I snapped out of it and returned to the task at hand. Opening my wings again i took off for the little tower where she awaited. So much for romantic suprise. I landed behind her. She just stood their looking at the moon. Now being a stallion, I didnt think of anything to say. "Hey" I whispered to her. Inside my head, I was beating myself with a sword for saying that. IDIOT, I yelled in my brain. She turned towards me and smiled. "Hey", she replied. My heart was racing again because I STILL had nothing to say to her. Thank the gods she was the one to brake the ice. "(chuckle) uh right, my room is over here". I cursed myself again, cause she knew that I messed up. Why me? I turned red again and couldn't think of anything to say. I was about to faint when she walked over to me and kissed me on the lips, wrapping her hooves around my shoulders. My confidence and princely pride returned when we broke apart. We looked into each other's eyes for awhile until she broke the silence, "So what are you doing here big guy"? She whispered adorably. Oh gods, how I love that voice. Since i had my confidence back I thought of some romantic cheesy stuff. "Well, I just wanted to see you again. After what happened this afternoon, its kinda hard to forget you". I whispered back, charmingly. She only chuckled and began to walk back to her room. My hopes began dropping fast. "Well it's time to go to bed". She said with a yawn. My heart immedietly sunk, thinking about all those scenarios about being humilated and heartbroken. I just stood their with a blank expression until she turned around again with a little confusion on her face. "Well"? She asked. "Well...what"? I asked back, hopes slowly rising. "Well, aren't you coming inside with me"? My heart exploded like fireworks. Many loud whistles and oooooo's were echoing in the room, making The princess blush. "No, No nothing like that you silly ponies. Just be quiet and listen". She chuckled playfully. "Oh, ok, that sounds good". This was just to good to be true. Now we were still teenagers but I wasnt thinking any sexual thoughts or anything like that, but I was VERY excited to be with my betrothed in the same room, in the same bed. I was very very VERY nervous and happy. She got into bed, looking at me, waiting patiently with a cute smile. I quickly took off my regalia with my magic and got into bed with her. I was hoping she wouldnt hear how hard my chest was beating right now. We looked into each others eyes and shared another loving kiss. After we broke she nuzzled her head into my golden coated chest and got comfy. "I love you". She whispered. I almost felt a tear run down my face. Relieved that this was all real and not a lie or some cruel joke. I kissed her on the forehead. "I love you too". I whispered back. And we fell asleep. "Awwwww". You could see the blush on the princess's face. A light applause started, leaving the princess bashful but greatful for her subject's support. "You'll love this part". Princess Luna announced, nodding to her sister to continue. "BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP* The sound of a stupid alarm clock buzzed in our heads as we awoke. I turned to my side to be met by the face of my love, her eyes opening slowly. She rubbed her eyes as she remembered that I was with her. I looked into her eyes and whispered "Good morning princess" to her. She responded with groggy "morning......" but just then her eyes widened into huge orbs, "MORNING"? I had a confused look on my face, wondering why she was so shocked that it was morning, then it hit me like a train. Not only should I not be here, but I was IN bed with the daughter of the king. Millions of scenarios played out in my head of if he should find out that slept with the princess, literally. We both stood up in bed violently and I almost fell over, she squealed when a knock came from her door; it was her servent mares coming in to prepare her for the day. "M'lady, are you ready"? They asked. I struggled to get my regalia and armor back on, trying to get to the balcony at the same time. "J-just a second, don't come in yet"! Celestia yelled, trying to stall them. I opened the balcony and was about to take off, until I remembered something important. I turned around to be met face to face with my future wife. The problem we always had was whenever we saw each other's eyes, we would instantly get lost in them. Another knock at the door snapped us back to reality and I needed to leave. Now. "W-wait! When will I see you again, Sky"? She asked desperatley grabbing my hoof, not wanting me to leave her. It pained me knowing what the answer was. "Unfortunately my love, not soon enough". I whispered before pulling her in for a passionate kiss that I wish......lasted forever. "One last kiss". I whispered to her, "I WILL see you soon, just wait for me". I said to her before diving off the edge of the balcony. As I left I heard her servents come in. I turned my head to see her face before I soared back to my hotel". "Aww, how romantic"! Princess Cadence said, while pulling Shining Armor in for a hug, almost choking him to death. "OOH IT'S JUST LIKE A MOVIE! NO MORE LIKE A MARE-FLICK"! Shouted a too excited Pinkie Pie as she bounced over to the front to get a better look. It was getting late so Princess Luna had to go and raise the moon. "Go on and continue without me, I'll catch up with you ponies in a bit". She yelled as she walked into the hallway". Celestia waved to her and cleared her throat while flipping the page for another entry. (Journel Entry) "Before I say anything else, my father, king Saphirius is not a iron fisted King like you would expect him to be. Instead, he chose to be the wise but comedian type of our family. He enjoys fun, and encourages adventure and is a huge supporter of love and compasion. But he is also the our leader and a wise one at that and I always go to him for advice or questions. So you could imagine his expression when I told him were I was last night. He was extatic but also told me to be careful of my actions, not wanting to cause any divides with the king and queen of Equestria who might have had a misunderstanding. Next we have my mother, Queen Emerelda, she wears the pants in the kingdom. SHE is the one who takes care of the kingdom, all the taxes, our subjects, etc. my father only offers his counsel every now and then. But after her little push from last night, I'm starting to see her soft side, which my father talks so fondly of. Now I'm not gonna go into any detail about how last night went when I arrived in to the room. Instead, I'll talk about what followed. The reason I told Celestia "Not soon enough" is quite simple. It is because today of all days, my parents and I are returning to the Crystal Kingdom this afternoon. I won't even get to say goodbye to her. Luckily i did that this morning. I wouldn't return to Canterlot for another 15 years. I would be 32. As we passed the Canterlot wall, I looked back to the castle and her tower. In my mind I saw her standing at her balcony patient for my return. "Wait for me". I whispered. "I will...."

Warmth of The HeartView OnlineA Small JournalWarmth of The HeartAuthor's Note: 'NOTHER CHAPTER PONY PEOPLE! I know alot of people aren't reading this but It's fun to just publish it. anyway here ya go! Chapter 3: Warmth of the Heart "How absolutely dreadful"! Squealed Rarity, startling everyone. "To be seperated from your one true love for years must have been torcher"! Princess Celestia only smiled and chuckled softly at Rarity's attitude and deep concern. And with a sigh she flipped through the pages, determined to satisfy the eager but hopeful unicorn. (Journel Entry) "Come together, one and all, in the giving spirit! Gifts abound here, great and small, Joyously we feel it"! My father sang throught the Castle while trotting merrily, along with a few of his trusted Servants and friends. Hearth Warming Eve time. The best time of the year. It's been awhile since I've written something in this journey, maybe 15 years now? As you all know, I'm now 32. After all these years, the one thing i've wanted every Hearth Warming will finally be given to me. The Hearth Warming that I will return to my princess. There's going to be a huge celebration in honor of us. Everypony is preparing for the trip to Canterlot. Infact, we're leaving tommorow morning! Ah yes back to Hearth Warming Eve. Now as I remember stating some time ago, my father strives for adventure, peace and happiness. So it's no suprise that Hearth Warming is his all time favorite, and encourges everypony to join him in that warm fuzzy feeling that all the children get when they open their presents. This is the one time every year my father goes out into the streets and actively aids in decorating, caroling, all that stuff. And this is also the one time a year my mother becomes a mother out of a fairytale, making cookies, decorating the castle, just being part of the fun. As for me, I don't care about presents or anything, All I need is to see my family, friends, and people uniting and showing Hearth Warming Spirit". "It sounds charmingly splendid, princess"! Fancy Pants said, also being a big Hearth Warming Eve pony himself. "I say, did Millenium Sky bring some of his lovely traditions to Canterlot your highness"? He asked, wiping his monocole. "Oh did he ever". Sighed princess Luna, remembering the old days. "Nopony celebrated Hearth Warming like Millenium sky". She mentioned. "Well he WAS his father's son". Princess Celestia added, putting a small pair of glasses on. "An amazing crowd welcomed us as we entered the gates of the amazingly decorated city. 8:25, gleeming lights everywhere, the smell of cinnamin, everypony bundled up in clothing, singing songs, and just loving one another. (chuckle) just as this holiday should be. Almost like home. My father led the parade through the huge, wide street leading to the castle. Singing again with his personal choir. Whats kinda weird is that, although my father is a king, his cutie mark is a couple of silver music notes. Yea, my dad's special talent is singing. But he's bucking pro when he sings. Just saying. Anyway, Bells rang, ponies cheered, just a lot of fun. We reached the opening castle gates to be met by their highnesses themselves. They and my parents embraced each other exactly like old friends who have been reunited. A grown up princess Luna hopped towards me and almost knocked me over. She was now a fully grown mare, she almost looked like her sister did when she was younger. She should be 22 now if I'm correct. So the celebration will be held at midnight, so I had time to kill. I met up with some old friends, even some of those princes from those many years ago ended up with wives of their own, and i became friends with a few of them. While I spent most of the time with Luna, there was still somepony who escaped me. "OH, I remember this plan, Sky's parents were in on it to"! Luna exclaimed with joy. Celestia gasped as she also remembered the little present that was set up for Millenium Sky. Both the princesses started laughing, leaving the audience agitated. "Ahem" Rainbow Dah interuppted. "Oh right right, the story". Princess Luna said. "Okay, so the party will be starting soon and no sign of Celestia, evertime I ask a pony, they say she's around, even Luna said that she's probably looking for me. I got all suited up, royal regalia and light royal armor, still no sign of her. I made my way down the grand staircase, cause the party was about to begin. I couldn't wait anymore, show time....until luna came bursting towards me. She had her dress on and everything, but she was in a panic. She grabbed my arm and started dragging me towards the ballroom. "Put this on, hurry"! She whispered to me as she tied a blindfold around my face. I tried arguing but she kept shhhhhing me. She gave me one last shove and then she was gone. So I was alone, blind, and I heard whispers and giggles. But then something caught me off guard. My father began singing the Hearth Warming Carol that he himself created called Warmth of the Heart. I stood there like a statue as he sang, "Come together one and all, in the giving spirit. Gifts abound here great and small, joyously we feel it! Father, Mother, daughter, son, each a treasure be, one candle's light dispels the night, Now our eyes can see! A miracle has just begun! Together all as OOONNNE"!!! "Now our eyes can see". I got the hint. The instrumental part continued after my father finished, I couldnt take it any more so I untied the blindfold". "OH I LOVE PARTIES, SPEAKIN OF PARTIES, WHAT DID MILLENIUM SKY SEE AFTER HE TOOK THE BLINDFOLD OFF"??!! Pinkie pie shouted at the top of her lungs. Twilight and her friends wrestled her to the ground trying to silence her, smiling nervously at the princess so she could continue. "As the blindfold fell off my face, my jaw dropped at what stood before my eyes. A grown Princess Celestia, who had almost completely changed. I was Awestruck, her hair was in a pony tail, also covering one eye, she was taller and thinner, shorter than me though, a cutie mark of the sun on her flank. She wore a silver tiara, shoes and chestplate, long white dress, with some silver plating. She looked like a goddess to me. She smiled as my father and his choir finished the song with, "TOGETHER ALL AS OOONNE"!!!!! And then silence, then applause. The both of us stood there in the middle of the ballroom floor smiling at each other, with tears. The crowd around us applauded, but we were in our own world. I was the first to take a few steps towards her, never braking eye contact. She threw away all forms of good manner as she opened her wings and jetted towards me. Landing on me, we embraced each other fully in tears now. We heard the applause start again, but we just sat their in each other's arms. She looked at me and pulled my head in for our first kiss in 15 years. The applause became awws as we both got up, lips still locked". "Awwwwwwwwwwww how rrroooommmaaannnttiiicc"! Squealed a childish princess Cadence, holding a passed out Shining Armor due to lack of oxygen. "Oh hush you silly filly"! Princess Celestia laughed. "When we broke apart, my father announced, "Fillies and Gentlcolts; The royal couple". More applause came from around us as we waved sheepishly. After the applause died, the party began, food would be served, dancing, performances, and my father would sing once again. But before I could join the party I was grabbed by Celestia and dragged into the hallway were we could be alone. When no one was around, she took her shoe off, turned back to me with a furious expression, and slapped me right across the face........" Author Note: There you go guys. Just to let you know, the song that Millenium Sky's dad sings, is called God bless us everyone by Andrea Bocelli, if you want to play it while reading. until then ciao
