He is greeted by Celestia. He smiled at her with a friendly grin and she smiled back. Marcus then leaned over his stand and looked at her.

"Hi Cele. How's it going?" He asked while he saw two guards beside her one looked at marcus with a death stare.

"Respect the princess kid!" A guard said while Marcus was looking at him anamused

"Respect the prince." He points to his family crest. The guard backed down when Celestia nodded at the guard. Marcus redirected his attention to Celestia.

"Greeting's Marcus. I'm here to talk about your family crest and your role as a prince." She said while Marcus looked into her mind and saw she ran into Twilight on her way here. He looked away.

"I don't want to talk about it right now." He said with his head facing down. She patted his head giving him a slight blush

"I guess that's another conversation for later." She gives him a warm smile and drifts from the conversation.

"Anywho, how's your little… stand here. Is it doing good?" She asked Marcus he then perked up.

"No sells. But I'm determined that I'll get more customers soon!" He smiled.

Now there's a thing that I neglected to tell you about Marcus. His species (his dragon species) will start to glow a light blue color when their near someone that they like. Marcus was aware of this and covered himself but to no avail. Celestia noticed it as Marcus started to blush.

"Why are you glowing? are you alright?" She asked with a little worry in her voice.

"I-im fine! J-just don't worry about me!" Marcus started to blush even more. He couldn't take it anymore so he teleported to his house along with his stand.

(Flashback time)
A little dragon was chasing his own tail as a woman watched in the distance. He was chasing it until he hurt himself. She then ran over to the dragon and healed him. The dragon yawned as he asked her a question.

"Mommy, what did daddy mean when he said I was a pwodige?" He asked her as his mother gave him a nuzzle.

"That an answer that should be told in a form of a story." she said while Marcus got more comfortable.

"When I was pregnant with you, I had many things that happened to me that I couldn't explain." She said. "When I threw up, I would throw up ink and when I wanted to lie down, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so without eating string. She added. "One fateful night, I had a wonderful dream. So many vibrant colors and shapes do my mind. Until a figure appeared. This figure had its face blurred and told me these words: 'your son shall be my prodige.' I then woke up and by the time I woke up, you were in my hand." She finished the story with a sleeping dragon on her lap. She kissed her forehead and sang to him.

"When the light is running low
And the shadows start to grow
And the places that you know
Seem like fantasy

There's a light inside your soul
That’s still shining in the cold
With the truth
The promise in our hearts

Don't forget
I'm with you in the dark."

(Flashback over)

Marcus was watching a movie on his TV when he heard a knock on the door. This was weird, considering he lived in the everfree forest. He opened the door and saw Celestia standing in front of him

"Hello Marcus."
