Chapter 2- The Moon

A/N: Hey, guys!

Aqua: In this chapter, Skylight's 13 years old, and in a relationship with Shadow Bolt.

Solar: However, Prince Blueblood knows that Shadow Bolt is the son of King Sombra, and tries to keep Skylight away from him.

Summer: Will he succeed? Find out!

Winter: Oh, and also, our vacation will last for a couple weeks, 4 at the most.

Audience: Oh.

Anyway, enjoy!

I'm 13 now, and a couple of weeks ago me and a colt named Shadow Bolt fell in love. Along with my friends, I've gotten my Cutie Mark: A yellow shield with a blue-green four pointed star in the middle.

Shadow's gray with a black mane and tail, and has red eyes. He looks a little like Sombra before he was corrupted, but he doesn't seem to mind.

So, now that we got the information out of the way, let's get to the day when Blueblood revealed Shadow's unknown parentage.

We were walking back to the castle after our date at a restaurant. Yeah, Blueblood decided to let Shadow in since Aunt Celestia wouldn't be happy if he didn't. Anyway, as we walked through the halls, we heard galloping. Before we could turn, I was picked up by magic. I turned to see that the magic belonged to Blueblood.

"What—Blueblood! What are you doing?!" I exclaimed.

"Keeping you away from this monster," Blueblood glared at Shadow.

"I'm sorry, monster?!"

"Blueblood!" Someone called. Mom and Dad galloped to us.

"What's going on here?" Dad asked.

"Blueblood's trying to keep me away from Shadow for no apparent reason," I told him.

"You're keeping your cousin away from her coltfriend?!" We heard another voice ask. We turned to see Aunt Luna and Celestia.

"Yes, because her 'coltfriend' is a monster trying to lure her into madness," Blueblood said.

"That does not make sense," I mumbled. "In any way, shape, or form."

"It's true! His father is King Sombra!"

King Sombra!

Those words echoed through my mind.

"What?!" Mom and Dad exclaimed.

"My father's w-who?!" Shadow yelled.

"King Sombra!" Blueblood repeated. "And if I don't keep my cousin away from you, you'll destroy her!"

"I-I never knew! There's n-no way I'd try to hurt her, e-even if I did know, because I would never agree to be evil, even if I was ordered to!"

"Really?" Mom asked.

"By my Dad!" Shadow replied.

"Oh," Everyone except Blueblood said.

"Be quiet!" Blueblood yelled. "Skylight Spark, you are not to see this stallion again!"

"You can't order me around!" I nearly screamed, and I kicked him right in the face, forcing him to let me go.

Everypony stared at me. Never in my whole life had I done something like that! Looking at their faces, I begin to regret my actions.

"Skylight…did you just...kick him?!" Dad exclaimed.

"I-I'm sorry," I mumbled, shrinking back.

"Sure you are," Blueblood mumbled, walking to me. "I can't believe we're actually cousins! First, you decide to act like a commoner, second, you fall in love with this monster, then you hit me! Get out!"

"Blueblood—" Aunt Luna began.

"OUT!" Blueblood shouted. I ran out of the castle, with no intentions of returning. As I ran out, I could hear yelling, and the Royal Canterlot Voice.

I flew to Ponyville, where I went in the Golden Oak Library. I laid in my Mom's bed, thinking about the times before I was banished. I soon fell asleep.

I woke up in my room in the castle, where Luna was pacing.

"W-where am I?" I asked.

Aunt Luna turned, and walked over to me.

"Hello, Skylight," She smiled.

"A-Aunt Luna? What am I doing here? Wasn't I banished?"

"Well, not really. You can't banish a Princess from a castle. Blueblood was sent to his chambers, and I went off to get you. I found you in your mother's room and took you back here."

"Oh," I whispered.

"But, Skylight," Her tone became firm. "You do realize what you did was still uncalled for, right?"

"Y-Yeah," I looked down, knowing she was talking about when I kicked Blueblood.

"We were about to free you from Blueblood's grasp. You did not need to commit any acts of violence."

"I-I know...I'm sorry..."

Aunt Luna put a hoof on my shoulder. "Skylight...let me show you something..."

Outside, in the gardens, Aunt Luna had just raised the moon. I sat beside her.

"So..." I stared at her. "What exactly did you want to show me?"

"You see," Aunt Luna looked up at the moon. "I...was actually just as hasty as you when I was young."

"Really?"

"Yes," Aunt Luna sighed. "Back then, ponies were always outside in the day...but in the night, they went inside, to bed."

"Why would anyone do that?!" I asked her. "The night's awesome!"

Aunt Luna gave me a sad smile. "That's not what ponies thought in the past. Because of this, I became more angered, until one day, I just...snapped." She sighed. "I became a pony known as Night-"

"Nightmare Moon," I nodded. "And then..."

"I tried to make the night last forever," Aunt Luna closed her eyes. "But my sister sent me to the moon."

I gasped. "That's horrible!"

"She had no choice, Skylight. I made the decision to become Nightmare Moon, and because of that, I was banished."

"So what you're saying," My eyes widened. "Is that if I kick someone again, I'll get sent to the moon?!"

Aunt Luna giggled. "Of course not! I'm just telling you to be careful when making choices, since they could greatly affect your future."

I nodded. "Right...I will."

The next day, I told my friends about the incident with Blueblood.

"Hold the phone," Prism held up a hoof. "Shadow's...Sombra's...son?!"

"That's what she said, Prism," Spring sighed.

"Wow," Nature whispered.

"I guess he kinda had the kick to the face thing comin'," Appledaisy shrugged. "I mean, ya can't just forbid true love and get away with it, right?"

"Yeah," I gave an awkward chuckle. "But Aunt Celestia and Luna were going to stop Blueblood anyway, so I could've waited a couple of seconds.

"Good point," Nature replied.

"Although..." Spring bit her lip. "Mother said he was the most uncouth prince ever at the Gala."

"Indeed he was," Cheesecake nodded.

"How did you-"

"Rarity dropped a shoe when our Moms were leaving, and Mom told Rarity about it, and Rarity screamed and broke the shoe! At least, I think she said that..."

"Oh," The others nodded.

To Be Continued...

A/N: Sorry this took forever to be posted.

Aqua: Stuff kind of got in the way…again.

Solar: Next chapter will be about Skylight and Shadow finding an abandoned kingdom, and Zaria decides to get a job at the Sugarcube Corner.

Winter: Also, chapter 2 of the Royal Truth will be done. Hopefully it will be better and longer then chapter 1.

All: See ya!
