Prince Nightwing

A royal in the royal guards

(I`ve include my OC in the story and this is when they have Elsie)

Night and Crescent have become very close together they spent most of their time together. Night was happy to have found a new friend and not be stuck in his room all day. But Night still had the royal guards on his mind, Crescent knew that he wanted to join but knew he couldn`t. Since his aunt Celestia or Aunt Cadance would never allow it.

"Crescent!" shouted Night as he ran up towards her

"Hey Night" said Crescent as she waved at him

"I just got an idea!" said Night as he smiled at her

"What is it?" ask Crescent

"I`m going to ask Queen Lightning if I could join her royal guards!" said Night with a big smile

"What?! Your going to ask the ruler of Cloud Kingdom if you could join her royal guards?" said Crescent "Why would she let you?"

"Well my mom and dad are very good friends of her" said NIght

"I don`t know Night maybe she will but your family might not" said Crescent

"You`ll see Crescent she will" said Night as he smiled and opened his wings "In fact I`m going to ask her now! Do you want to come with me?"

"I don`t have wings Night" said Crescent as she waved her body

"Don`t you have a cloud walking spell or something?" ask Night as he jump into the air

"Yea but it takes a lot of work" said Crescent as she activated her magic

"Come on Crescent! Don`t tell me that you never wanted to see Cloud Kingdom?! Almost everypony in Equestria wants to see that" said Night as he flew around her

"Okay maybe I`ve always dreamed to see it" mumbled Crescent as she look away from him

"Come on!" said Night as he push her with his hoof

"Fine but don`t get to excited" said Crescent

After that Crescent used the walking spell, Night flew her and himself to Cloud Kingdom.

"WOW!" shouted Crescent as she ran all over the place looking at the city "THIS IS SO AWESOME!"

"And you told me! Not to get too excited" said Night as he watch her

"Shhh!" said Crescent as she waved her hoof at him "Let me enjoy this moment!"

After a few moments later Night gave her the tour of the city as they were heading to the castle.

"So this is the cloud stadium" said Night as he pointed with his hoof but saw she wasn`t listing to him "And your not listening are you?"

"Sorry Night but I`ve always wanted to come here every since I was a filly" said Crescent

"It`s alright I`ve been here before so I`m not as excited as you" said Night as he smiled at her

"Let`s go to the castle" said Crescent as she pull his hoof which made her blush but made sure that Night didn`t see it

As they arrived at the castle`s main entrance they were stop by the royal guards

"Halt who goes there?!" ask one of the guards

"I`m Prince Nightwing of Canterlot son of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Flash Sentry and I seek an audience with Queen Lightning" said Night as he took his royal side

"On what matter?" ask the other guard

"My reason are pure and will not in danger your kingdom" said Night

the guards look at each other before answering "Very well we will announce you arrival"

"Thank you" said Night

"But who is this mare with you?" ask the guards

"She my friend and I`ve ask her to come with me" said Night "Crescent Quill a pony from Ponyville"

"She may pass" said the guards as they opened the door

As they entered the castle Crescent was amazed of how Night changed completely from his normal attitude. This royal side of him sounded professional and royal with many years on the throne.

"What was that?!" whispered Crescent

"That`s how your suppose to ask an audience with Cloud Kingdom" whispered back Night

"Wow! Why?" ask Crescent

"Well do you know the history of the kingdom?" ask Night

"I do" said Crescent

"Well every since the kingdom`s return the royal guards have been more protective of the royal family" explain Night

"And you want to join them?" ask Crescent

"Well yes" said Night "Now are you ready to meet Queen Lightning and King Snow?" as he turn his head as they approach the throne`s room doors

They both waited as the guards announce their arrival, Crescent waited worried and with excitement as the doors opened. As she entered the throne room she saw two alicorns on their thrones.

"Nightwing what a surprise" said Lightning as she stood up from her throne

"Hello Lightning it has been a while" said Night as he walk towards her

"Last time we saw you was when you and your mother came here to visit" said Lightning as she hug Night "You`ve grown"

"Thank you" said Night

"Night who`s this beautiful mare with you? She not Skyangle?" said Snow as he joined his wife

"No she moved away this is Crescent Quill she from Ponyville" said Night as he motioned her to approach them

"Your majesty" said Crescent as she bowed at them

"Please stand up any pony who`s friends with Night is ours friends" said Lightning

"Now what do we own this visit?" ask Snow

"Yes as you know I want to join the royal guards" said Night

"Yes we do and we heard that my mother and Cadance both said no" said Lightning

"Yes so I was wondering if I could join your royal guards?" ask Night as he waited for a response

Lightning and Snow look at each other

"Are you sure?" ask Snow "Never in thousands of years that a royals joined the royal guards"

"Yes they are guards who become royals like Shining Armour and your father but never the other way around" said Lightning

"I`m sure I want to join the royal guards" said Night

"Why do you want to join them?" ask Lightning

"Well because I want to protect ponies and I want to protect my county" said Night

"But what does your family think?" ask Snow as he glance at Lightning

"I don`t know I`ve never gotten the chance to become one" said Night

"Well I can`t give you an answers right away but your are free to visit the city while we decided" said Lightning as she walk back towards the throne

"Alright thank you" said Night as he bowed "Come on Crescent"

"It was a pleasure to meet you" said Crescent as she bowed as well

Night and Crescent left the castle to explore the city while Lightning contacted her mother, Cadance and Twilight.

"Flash!" shouted Twilight as she read a letter

"Yes dear" said Flash as he entered the room

"Read this letter that we got from Lightning" said Twilight as she gave the letter

Dear Twilight and Flash

I`m aware that the royals guards in Canterlot and in the Crystal empire have both refuse of letting your son to join them. So Nightwing as came to see me and as ask me if he could join my own guards. I am in need of a few new recruits and I would like for you to come by so we can decided on your son fate.

Sincerely Lightning Flare

"Night didn`t tell us anything" said Twilight

"I suppose he`s at the Kingdom" said Flash

"Let`s go then" said Twilight

A few hours later Twilight, Flash, Cadance, Luna and Celestia all arrived at the kingdom and met at the meeting room.

"Thank you for coming" said Lightning as she sat down "Now we need to decide if we should let a royal join the royal guards?"

"I don`t think we should let him" said Celestia as she place her hoof on the table s

"I agree" said Cadance "It`s just too dangerous"

"I don`t see how it could be dangerous they not many dangers out there" said Lightning

"True but it could happen" said Cadance

"It might be good for the public" said Shining "To show that the royals aren`t scared to risk they lives for the kingdoms"

"But we`ve already saw this bravery with Radius and Arena" said Luna

"Indeed but it was once in centuries" said Lightning

"Twilight, Flash this is your son you make the final choice" said Luna as everypony look at them

Meanwhile Night and Crescent were at a park and talking about things they saw

"This was a nice day" said Night as he sat down on a bench

"This was the best day in my life!" said Crescent as she smile at him "Thank you for bringing me here!"

"No problem I`m happy to do so" said Night

"Night" ask Crescent as she sat down next to him

"Yes" said Night

"Is it nice to be a royal?" ask Crescent

"Well sometimes most of the times I like being a normal stallion not a prince" said Night as he press against the bench "Like I don`t like to have to use my royal side"

"Why not? I like it when you do it" said Crescent

"I don`t know why really I guess it`s because when I do ponies always bowes at me and treat him different" said Night "So I decided to have another personality when I`m in Ponyville so I won`t get the same experiences as I do in Canterlot"

"Well you made me like you" said Crescent as she immediately blushed "Huh! What I mean is that we`re become friends and I think it would have still happen if we were in Canterlot"

"I guess your right" said Night as he approach Crescent

Before Night and Crescent could get any closer to a kiss two royal guards came flying down.

"Prince Nightwing of Canterlot!" shouted the guards as they landed

"Yes" said Night as he stood up from a red face Crescent

"You are request at the castle" said one of the guards

"Very well" said Night

Night and Crescent were escorted to the castle as they arrived they headed to the throne room.

"Nightwing we have talk about your request to join the royal guards" said Celestia

"And tho Celestia and Cadance still refuse to accept you in their own guards" said Lightning

"But we'll decided that you could join the Cloud Kingdom`s royal guard" said Twilight as she smiled at her son

"REALLY!" shouted Night as he flaps his wings in excitement "I can really join?!"

"Yes" said Lightning "You`ll be able to sign up in one week" said Lightning

"YAY!" shouted Night as he flew around the room with the smiling royals "Crescent! I can become a royal guard!" as he flew towards her and kiss her on the cheek

Crescent stared in surprise with her biggest blush ever "Congratulations Night!"
