Katbeary and I (Bayonate) would like to thank GoldenEclipse116 and Enhancing for reviewing on the story. It was a big morale booster. Now enough of me talking, let's start Chapter 2 of "Once In a Blue Moon." Oh and sorry for posting this chapter a little late.

Prince Blue Moon's POV

What nerve! Celestia just thinks, she can ask me about my father. Why doesn't she just asks him herself how he is doing! Instead, she comes to me. I need to clear my head. I just need to find the royal garden. I think, I will ask one of the guards where the royal garden.

"Excuse me, but where is the royal garden?" I asked.

The guard with a very unemotional and serious face replied," Keep walking down the hall and take a left when it ends, your Highness."

"Thank you." I reply. I walked down the hall like the guard told me too. There was art along the walls that depicted the history of Equestria. They're beautiful, I must admit, but I was in no mood for art.

3 minutes later….

Finally the garden, I was tired of the stares I was getting from all the mares. The garden was a masterpiece, tranquil, and beautiful. Animals were all over the place enjoying life. There was a pond in the middle of the garden. Flowers covered the ground, and trees stood tall and proud.

I turned around and said to the guards that were escorting me," Captain Star, you and your men can go on leave, until I call for you. Why don't you explore Canterlot?"

A guard with extremely dark blue, gold rimmed armor replied," Yes, your Majesty! Thank you, your Majesty!"

"Now move it Captain or do you want me to tie your wings and throw you into Canterlot!"

"At once, your Majesty! No, your Majesty!" stuttered the Captain.

The Captain and the rest of the guards flew off in a flash. Now I can relax, calm down, and think. But first, I think I will call on my pet.

"Asternix!" I called out.

Out of the shadows came a dark blue peacock. It had yellow eyes. The "eyes" of the feathers were white stars and its feathers became increasing lighter in color the farther it was away from its body.

"What is it, Blue?" said the bird telepathically.

"I am just trying to relax."

"Why did you have to call on me! I was in the middle of a nap."

"You take twenty naps a day."

"So! I need my beauty sleep!"

"Whatever. Anyway me bring you here gives you the chance to explore Equestria."

"Good point. I hope I find some pretty bird, I can get with."

"Good luck and I heard Celestia has a pet phoenix named Philomeena."

"So?"

"She's a girrrllll."

"OK! Thanks! Bye! See you!"

Asternix ran/flew off towards the palace. I could hear him mentally calling for Philomeena. Well that was interesting and funny. It makes me think of the good ol' days, when my dad (King Black Night) would take me on trips. We would fish, hike, and fly kites together. We would always do something fun, but a few years back he started to spend less and less time with me. Eventually he didn't spend any time with me at all. The event that made me hate him happened precisely three years ago.

My dad sent me a message to be at the Dining Hall at 6:30 PM sharp. I thought he was going to sit down with me and talk. Unfortunately that didn't happen. My father wasn't even at the Dining Hall at 6:30 PM. There only me and a mare at the dining table. After a minute, I knew what my father's plans were. He was trying to find me a wife. As soon as the feeling of realization dawned upon me, I stomped out of the room to my father's study. When I entered his study, I saw him swipe through a spell. Spying on me eh? I asked him why he is trying to find me a wife. He acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. Suddenly all my angry that I had bottled up poured out of me. I raised my voice on him and in return he raised his voice at me. He forced me back to the Dining Hall to "enjoy" the company of a mare.

From then on I hated my father and he brushed it off like it was nothing. He has made me have "romantic" dinners with various mares. Whenever I got a message from my father to come to this place at this time, I would immediately know that it was an arranged date. My dad is making such a big deal that I don't have a marefriend. I mean let me find a marefriend on my own time. I just want it to be like the old days.

I was deep in my thoughts when I saw Philomeena walk into the garden with Asternix.

Meanwhile….
