Prologue

It was a bright and sunny morning in Canterlot. in the dining hall, Celestia was eating her breakfast. She was eating pancakes with butter flavored syrup.
''Can I get you anything else your highness?,''the waiter asked.
She was wiping her lips of the remains of the pancake syrup with her napkin, and said
''Yes. Can I get a cup of tea for me and my sister please?'' she asked.
''Of course, your majesty.''
The waiter nodded and then wrote what Celestia had ordered, and trotted away.

A couple of minutes later, her younger sister Luna came into the dining hall and greeted her.
''Good morning Tia! Anything new going on today?''
She trotted up to her took a seat and sat next to Celestia. The waiter slowly trotted to the princesses and to give them their tea.
''Your hot beverages, your highnesses!'' the waiter said, levitating both cups of Tea to Luna and Celestia.
Then, she trotted away.
''Well I do have something to tell you, but you may not like it dear sister.'' she replied, levitating the cup taking a small sip of her Tea,

'''Oh? Whatever do you mean, Tia?'' Luna asked, levitating her cup, and taking a big sip.
Celestia sighed, and turned head to face her sister, giving her a weak smile.
''I'm going on vacation by myself. I'll be gone for 8 months, shall we say it.''
Luna then all of the sudden spit her tea all over the table.
''WHAT!? Tia, why are you leaving for so long!?'' she asked, giving her a sad look.
"That is something that even I cannot explain. I'm sorry dear sister, but I must be going. Besides, you won't be alone. You will still have your nephew Blueblood.'' Celestia said, giving her a smile, trying to cheer her sister up.

Luna shook her head and scoffed at her.
"My nephew?! Yeah right, what about him? He doesn't want to spend time with me! He's probably got other stuff to do!''
Then, Prince Blue Blood came trotting in, having had listened to the argument between his aunts, and yelled something very loudly.
''WOULD YOU TWO JUST RELAX, GOSH OH MIGHTY!''
The both of them stop bickering at each other, and turned their faces to the prince. He just stood there, giving them a weird look.

''What?'' he simply asked.
Luna then approached him with an aggressive look.
''So I'm guessing that you're leaving as well!'' she shouted.
He nodded his head, and rubbing his neck with his hoof, gave her a nervous look on his face.
''Oh yeah, Auntie Luna. I'm also leaving too, I'm going away to Las Pegasus to gamble away my bits and see if I win or not. Hahaha!'' he said, giving her a fake smile and then galloped out of the dining hall.

Luna however... she turned her face to Celestia with tears in her eyes. She felt bad, and slowly trotted to her, then massaged her neck with her hoof.
''its gonna be alright, Lulu. I'm sure that you can handle watching the castle all by yourself.'' she said, giving her a slight smile, and trotted out of the room, leaving her sad and full of stress. She trots to her sister's bedroom packing her stuff.
''Well, I guess this is goodbye then.'' Celestia said.
Luna sighed and giving her sister a sad look and nodded goodbye.
''Tia please be safe!'

'
Celestia then nodded, and used her horn to teleport out of her room and before Luna knew it, she was gone.
She put her hoof on her chin, and started thinking to herself.
What can I do now that she's gone hummmmm. Oh, I know! I'll take a nice stroll around the city streets! she thought to herself.
She trotted out of her sister's room and headed outside. It was dark outside, and she had to raise the moon because that's part of her job as being the princess of the night. After she was done raising the moon, she trotted away into the streets. It was nice that she had the entire castle to herself, and now she can relax by simply taking a walk. But as she is trotting away, her ears perked up after hearing very loud sobbing. Her face was spread with concern, and she then trotted to the source of the sound. When she finally got to it, she saw not just a pony but a big pedal creature curled up into a ball, sobbing in the middle of the street.

Her heart ache in pain when she saw this terrible sight.
This poor creature looks like it has been treated poorly by those monsters who called themselves parents! she thought to herself.
She slowly approached it, and lightly tapped it's shoulder with her hoof. It slowly stopped sobbing, and uncurled itself. They sat up and to look at who had tapped him. She made a small gasp, and look at the human child's face. It had cuts and bruises all over its face.
''P-p-p please d-d-d-d don't h-h-h-hurt m-m-me! I-I-promise i'll-i'll b-b be a-a a g-g good b-b-boy.'' he said in a broken tone of voice.

She was definitely heartbroken for the poor child. She put her hoof on his shoulder and rubbed it, comforting him.
"What is your name, my dear child?" she softly asked, trying not to scare the child.
"M-m-m my n-n-n name is James." he said, more tears welling up in his eyes.
She motioned him for a hug.
"Come here, sweetheart. I won't hurt you, I promise. she said in a soft tone, and caring voice.
''O-o-o-ok ,miss,'' he said, and slowly put his arms into Luna's hug, as she embraced him softly.

''Shh, sweetie. Shh. it's ok, shhhh you can trust me. Shhhhh. How about I bring you to the castle, and get you can get a nice peaceful sleep, away from these dark and cold street?" she asked, ruffling his dark brown hair.
He then nodded.
"O-o ok, uh, miss...?"
"Luna. You can call me Luna." she said, rubbing his back.
"Okay, miss Luna." he said in a respectful tone.

''Why don't you hop onto my back, and I'll take you to my home?''
''O-o-o ok, mi-mi-miss Luna.'' he said, slowly losing his conscious.
But thankfully she caught him in her forehooves, before he dropped down onto the alicorn's back.
"Don't worry James, I will make your life more happy than it is now." she whispered into his ear.
She then cradled him in her arms, as she quickly flew away from the streets, and back to the castle.

Discovering a Saddening Truth

The next day
Luna woke up to hear the poor child sobbing and whimpering into her mattresses. She nuzzled into his hair and tried to say reassuring things to him.
''Shhh. It's okay, I've got you. Shhh, you're safe with me".
He slowly stopped his crying, and opened his dark blue eyes to see Luna smiling at him.
''Did you sleep alright, James?'' she said, while rubbing his arm with her hoof.
He nodded and wiped away his tears.
''yes, Luna, I slept, perfectly fine.'' he said with the same broken tone of voice.
''Well, that's good to hear. Would you like to get something to eat? You must be pretty hungry.'' she said, as she slowly unwrapped her arms from the child.
Slowly climbing out of her bed, she levitated James out of bed, and gently put him onto her back.
"Come now, let's head to the dining hall, shall we?" she said, rubbing her hoof slowly on his shoulder.

She opened the door with her magic, and trotted out of her room with James on her back.
Before they had arrived at the dining hall, she had totally forgotten that Celestia and Blue Blood were away on their own vacations.
*sigh* its not going to be the same without them.... she thought to herself.
It truly felt very weird, being without her sister and her nephew here in the castle. She then shook those thoughts away, and levitated James off of her back, then placed him on the ground, so he could take a seat. She took a seat and sat next to him.
''Good Morning, Princess Luna, can I ge- SWEET CELESTIA WHAT IS THAT THING!?''
The waiter gasped, and pointed her hoof at James, who was shaking uncontrolaby from the Unicorn's outburst.

Luna gently rubbed his back with her hoof to comfort him after the waiter's sudden outburst. She turned her head to face the waiter, with feelings of discust and anger.
''HOW DARE THOUGH SHOUT AT THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILD! DO YOU NOT SEE THAT YOU ARE SCARING HIM!?'' she yelled in her royal Canterlot voice.
She immediately regretted shouting at the waiter, for James was now shaking even more. She wrapped her arms and wings around him and nuzzled his hair.
''I'm sorry James shh.. I didn't mean to shout, shh.'' she said, turned her head to the waiter who had a very distinctive look of fear in her eyes.

"I think that you probably owe an apology." she said to the waiter.
“Forgive me your highness, I'm very sorry for my outburst." she said in an apolagetic tone.
Luna nodded, and unwrapped James from a tight hug. The waiter then levitated the menus to Luna and James. James ordered scrambled eggs, and Luna ordered the same.
''Can I get you two any drinks?'' she asked.
''I'll have a hot Tea please, and please give James here some orange juice." She said in a nice tone.
''Coming right up, your highness!'' she said, trotted away.

After waiting a few minutes for the breakfast and drinks, the waiter came in with their hot breakfasts, as well as their beverages, giving them to Luna and James, and trotted away once again.
''can I tell you something Luna? I just need to, please." he asked, timidly.
She took a sip of her tea and gently put it on the table. She ruffled his hair with her hoof.
''Sure! You can tell or ask me just about anything, James. I won't be upset, I promise.'' she said, giving him a caring smile.
Tears were starting to well up in his eyes.
"my-p-parents... would always constantly beat me. every time I asked them a question, or tried to tell them anything."
She gasped in shock at what he was telling her about his family.

and told me that I was weak and fragile and that I was a mistake in the family. so I made a w-wish last night. I wished that I was away from my mommy and Daddy. because they didn't care about me''. He sobbed loudly and whimpered at the same time. Luna was left very heartbroken for him. She had tears streaming down her eyes. She gently wrapped her arms and wings around him and nuzzled his face. I'm ''very truly sorry, James about your parents that caused soo much abuse on you. She sobbed while still holding him. ''breakfast is served your highness''. the waiter said. levitating the scrambled eggs to Luna and James and trotted away,

they unwrapped each other and got back to eating. after they were done, she levitated him on her back and trotted out of the dining hall. hummm. I could have Cadence and Twilight over to meet James. yeah that's what I'm going to do, she thought to herself.

Meanwhile in Ponyville

Spike! get up right now, your already wasting the day by staying in bed all day!! she shouted at her number one assistant. Oh come on Twilight! just give me a few more mins please. he said covering his head with the pillow. then twilight came up with an idea and giggled lightly. Oh what's that, Rarity has been kidnapped by the diamond dogs. oh no Spike we got to help her! she said in a tiny bit of sarcasm. yeah right like im going to beli- WAIT WHAT!? he jumped out of the bed. and quickly ran to the door, but to his surprise. he got hit in the face by the door opening up, and to be greeted by Cadence and made her way inside.

hello Twilight long time no see! she turned around to see her foul sitter, Cadence! Twilight yelled with joy and ran up to her and embraced her tightly, its so good to see you! she said. same here with you cadence said patting her on the back. Twilight chuckled lightly, then they started to hear a groaning sound coming from the door, spike are you alright? twilight asked. the door slowly closed to reveal spike. and he was walking very weird. I'm feeling fine twilight, he said and collapsed onto the ground, they both giggled at his behavior and looked at each other.

as they were about to say something spike burped out magic and twilight levitated the scroll to let cadence to see, Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle. its me Luna I'm at the castle by myself, my sister Celestia has gone away on vacation she told me that she was going to be away for at least 8 months. I know it sounds crazy but its true!! my nephew Blue Blood is away as well. for who knows how long! he said he was going to Las Pegasus and gamble away all of his bits to see if he wins or not. I don't know why that came to his mind! I was trotting away in the city streets, and I've found a young human child sobbing in the middle of the street. and so then I comfort him his voice sounded so broken, I couldn't bear to leave him there so I took him. if you would be so kind, if you bring cadence along! from princess Luna.

Author's Note

Let me know if I've made any mistakes on this chapter.

Meeting Twilight And The Gang

After they were done reading the scroll. twilight levitated it and put it on the table, I wonder what his parents did to him? Twilight said in a sad tone. I don’t know but I hope the little guy it’s all right, cadence replied.

Spike got up from the ground and walked over to the table were Twilight put the scroll at, after reading the scroll he looks at the both of them, with a confused look on his face. princess Luna has a human child with her?

Yes she does perhaps we should go take a trip to canterlot to see the human child. oh as a matter fact we should probably bring Rarity with us, she might need his measurements to make his clothes if he’s going to be staying here for a while, Twilight reply.

The three of them nodded and headed outside, to go to the carousel boutique as their next designation. once they made it, they knocked on the door coming darling! she shouted behind the door, Rarity then open the door. to see spike cadence and twilight along, ahh, Twilight how are you doing today darling? she greeted While giving them a smile,

i’m doing just fine but I’ve gotten a letter from Princess Luna, saying that Celestia and prince blueblood are both away on vacation. But they are in separate locations, Celestia didn’t tell Luna where she was going. but she only knows that blue blood is in Las Pegasus gambling away his bits to see if he wins or not, sounds like a stupid idea if you ask me. Twilight said.

Rarity then chuckled at the last part what twilight said. about blue blood, I can only imagine if blue blood loses all of his bits. I will be laughing my mane off right now! oh yeah one more thing that I forgot. Luna also told us that she has a human child with her, so we were kind of wondering if you would come along to take his measurements, so he can get the right size of his clothing. Twilight said, and she then nodded. absolutely I would love to come along to Canterlot. with you guys She said.

Cadence then chuckled, Ok then it’s settled. she said is everybody ready! Twilight said, Cadence, and Spike, and rarity, nodded their heads to Twilights question. all right hold on! She said focusing on her magic to teleport to canterlot, *POOF*. *POOF*

Meanwhile in Canterlot
Luna showed James where the bathroom was, to let him wash up. She then filled the bathtub with water, checking every few seconds that it was a suitable temperature, and ajusting it when it was too hot or too cold. Once the bathtub was filled up with water. she dipped her hoof into the water one last tome to make sure it was a comfortable water temperature for him.
"Okay, James are you ready?" she said as he nodded his head. She walked out of the room, allowing him to get into the tub.

when she came in the room, to her shock. she see a bunch of scars on his chest. they did this much damage to him? how cruel and sickening this is to abuse an innocent child! he doesn’t deserve to get abuse and live a dark saddening life! what he truly deserves, is peace and love and comfort. she thought to herself, Ok James, I’m gonna need you to close your eyes, she said in a motherly tone. He nodded without saying a word, She levitated water pitcher And scooped up the water, and poured it on his hair.

she also put shampoo on his hair and scrubbed it with her hooves, he close his eyes as if Luna was massaging his Head. he did indeed find a very nice and comfortable. while she was doing that she once again levitated the water pitcher and scooped up the water and poured it on his hair to get rid of the shampoo. when she got rid of the shampoo, she close her eyes again and levitating him out of the bathtub. and quickly grabbed a towel to dry him off.

and she then wrapped the towel around his waist, does that feel better James she said nuzzling his cheek. I-it d does f feel g great l Luna t thank you, he said. she gently wrapped her arms and wings around him and whispered into his ear. you don’t need to thank me sweetheart you’re a very sweet Little boy, He return the embrace putting his head on her nice warm fur, they slowly unwrapped each other from the embrace and levitated him on her back, she also levitated his clothes to put it in his hands to carry along.

she trotted into her room, with him and put the clothes on the bedside. To let James get change, James I’ll be outside when you’re done getting change. she said he nodded not saying a word al- alright l- Luna I- im d -done get- getting ch- change, he said she slowly open the door. with the same clothes on him when she first brought him in the castle, what she was about to say something. a Royal Guard came up to her to tell her something, your majesty princess twilight and cadence and rarity are here to see you He said. and saluted galloped away.

She gave each of them and smile while James on the other hoof was slightly shaking, he quickly got off her back and hid behind her. hello twilight it’s good seeing you I would like you to meet James, he’s a little nervous right now meeting you guys. she then grinned, At Luna Well it’s good meeting you to Luna, I just still can’t believe that Celestia never told me that she was going to be away on vacation. by herself that seems rather odd to me for some reason She said.

Luna nodded and turn her head to James, that he was nervous meeting them don’t worry they are good friends. I promise they won’t hurt you. she said. He nodded and Walked away from his hiding position, and turn to see twilight rarity cadence and spike giving them a weak smile. They gasp, at his face that’s still had cuts and bruises on him. this poor child those parents of his are just horrible to him! Twilight thought, she trotted slowly to James and got down to is standing position. hey sweetheart my name is twilight I am the princess of friendship, if you have any problems of making friends.

greetings darling my name is rarity, I am the element of generosity. I’m also a fashion designer, When they were done Meeting each other. James went to go talk to Spike, Luna was chatting with twilight rarity and cadence. He’s a very sweet kid, but it pains me to see him like this. were those cuts and bruises from his parents? Cadence asked.

yes he told me this morning that, his mom and dad would beat him up if he asks a question. they said very hurtful disgusting things to him, they told him that he was a mistake in the family. Luna said while tears were streaming down her face.

their ears started drooping after hearing this, should we maybe look into his memories, see if we can get some information about his parents? twilight suggested, yes we most certainly must find out about his parents. and why are they doing this to him. Rarity said,

all right then it’s settled, will look into his memories. when he falls sleep, Luna said. They nodded their heads, agreeing to Luna’s idea couple hours of chatting later... James started to feel tired after chatting with spike. he climbed onto a chair and fell asleep on it,

Luna then notice him on the chair sleeping peacefully. he is so adorable when he sleeps like that. she thought to her self. she then approach to him, and carefully wrapped her fore hooves around him. and cradled him against her chest, she flew to her bedroom, and placed him on the bed. she levitated the covers Over him to keep him warm, all right is every pony ready to do this? Luna whispered when the others came into her room, they nodded their heads. all right here goes nothing, she said she used her horn with her magic. to get into James’s memories.
