A life of a princess
Father and daughter day and a cutie mark?!
A few months pass since Noble birth and Elsie wanted to play with her new brother for days now but every time her parents told her she couldn't.
"Mom can Noble play with me?" ask Elise as she walk up to her mother who held her brother in her hooves "Please"
"I`m sorry honey but Noble is still too young to play with you" answered Lightning while rocking the sleeping colt "Maybe your father could play with you?"
"Alright where is daddy?" ask Elsie
"He should be in the throne room" said Lightning
"Okay thanks Mom!" shouted Elsie as she ran off to find her father
"Please don't slam the...!" shouted Lightning as she watch her daughter ran off and slam it behind her. At the moment the door slammed Noble woke up and started to cry "Door...!"
Elsie ran towards the throne room and found her father working
"Hey Dad!" shouted Elsie as she ran in the room and towards the throne room
"Hello sweet heart" said Snow as he smiled at her while putting down a scroll "So what the occasion for your visit?"
"I`m broad! Grandma and great- aunty are busy, Mid is you know and Mom with Noble so she told me to see you"
"The best for last" said Snow as he playfully smiled at her "Well I just have one more scroll to sign and I can spend the day with you"
"Can I see?" ask Elsie as she tried to claim on her father`s throne
"Its boring work" said Snow as he help Elsie with his magic and place her on his hooves
"I`m going to be Queen on day and shouldn't I start looking at this?" said Elsie "Mom started at a young age"
"She did but not as young as you" said Snow
"Please!" pleaded Elsie as she did the sad eyes to her father
"Alright" said Snow as he bought the scroll closer to his daughter
"What`s about?" ask Elsie as she look at the very long paragraph
"It's about the castle`s kitchen staff" explain Snow as he bought his quill closer to the scroll "I need to make the choice to put more cooks or bakery, what do you think we should do?"
"Hum well we have five cooks right?" ask Elsie as she rub her head with her hoof
"Yes we do" said Snow "And one baker"
"I think we should have more bakers so it will be easier for Mr. Ginger and Mom has always loved to have bakers in the castle. Because they remind her of Mr. Bake and how he would always bake with her and make cupcakes!" said Elsie as she showed her knowledge of her mother "And I like to have more cookies in the castle too"
Snow smiled and gave a little giggle "Alright its official more bakers" as he signed the scroll and gave it to a royal guard "Alright what do you want to do?"
"Well I want you to give me a tour of the kingdom" ask Elsie
"But don`t you know the lay out like the back of your hoof?" ask Snow
"I do but I want you to show me anyways" said Elsie as she smiled at her father
"Let`s go then" said Snow as he used his magic to lower Elsie
Snow and Elsie along with two Pegasus guards all were about to go out of the castle. After a prep talk of her father their both face the crazy citizens and the press after a few hours ponies started to calm down and return to their normal routine.
"That was crazy dad!" said Elsie as she look at a few ponies who were still following them
"It will always be like this, Elsie" explain Snow "The citizens loves the royals but mostly your mother"
"What do you mean?" ask Elsie as she tried to keep up with her father
"Well the citizens don't accept new comes what I mean is that when I was dating your mother the citizens didn't really like me so much" explain Snow
"Is it going to be like that with me too?" ask Elsie
"Most likely" said Snow "But anyways were not her to talk about this I`m here to give you a tour of the kingdom"
Snow showed the kingdom to Elsie the stores, parks, houses and much more. Even though that Elsie knew about most of the things her father showed her she still enjoyed the moments together.
"That was fun dad" said Elsie as she hug her father`s hoof
"They is one more place I need to show you" said Snow
"What! I thought I knew all about the kingdom" said Elsie in complete shock of the news "Where is it?!"
"Its a secret place that only your mother and I know about" said Snow as he smiled "The waterfalls of dreams"
Snow led Elsie back to the castle and to the secret passage way to their secret room
"Are you ready?" ask Snow as he put his hoof on a brick
"Yes" answered Elsie as she couldn't wait to see this room
Snow push the brick and a section of the wall opened to reveal the most beautiful waterfall surrounded by the most beautiful flower.
"This...this is so pretty!" shouted Elsie as she couldn't believe her eyes "I can`t believe it was here this hole time!"
"It sure is this where I proposed to your mother" said Snow as he stared at the waterfall remembering the moment that her and him got married "This is also the only place of the original castle"
"What this flowers?" ask Elsie as she pointed with her hoof at a pink but beautiful flower
"Perfect dream" answered Snow as he crouch down to get a closer look "That flower keeps this beautiful place alive it's the heart of this place"
"Dad what's this black spot on the leaves?" ask Elsie as she lifted a leaf with her magic
"What!" said Snow in shock "There aren't suppose to be there" as he examine the leaf closer "The flower is sick"
"Its sick! How do you know?" ask Elsie
"Because this isn't the first time that happened" said Snow "The very first Queen, Queen Elsie after a few years after founding the kingdom they saw this flower with those spots. Not wanting to the flower to die she healed it with her magic and the flower become healthy and created this place"
"Can`t you heal it like she did?" ask Elsie
"I can`t nopony can she was the only one who could" said Snow "Once the flowers dies all of this will die"
"Maybe Mom can do something" said Elsie as she ran out of the room
While Elsie left Snow stared at the dying garden and felt his heart whipping in his chest. And wondering why is this happening now out all the years of king and queens it happened now.
"Snow" as he heard his name
"Lightning" said Snow as he turn around to face her and his daughter
"Is it true?" ask Lightning hoping deep down in her heart it wasn't "Is the flower dying?"
"It's true" sadly said Snow as he lowered his head
"I won't allow it!" said Lightning as she approach the flower and started to use her magic on it
Everypony waited for a few moments hoping that the flower would lose the black spots.
"I can`t it's not working" said Lightning as she slowly stop her magic and shed a few tears "Only Elsie could do it and she long gone" as she look at Snow with sad eyes "Our place will die"
Elsie saw her parents and knows that this place meant a lot to them and was the only place that wasn't destroy by the rebels. This place is the only part of the original castle.
"Can I try?" ask Elsie
Lightning and Snow look at each other and gave a nod of approval; Elsie activated her horn and focuses all of her magic to the flower. Surprisingly the spots on the flower slowly disappeared from the flower and completely in just a few minutes. Lightning and Snow look in shock as Elsie opened her eyes to see the flower back to its former self.
"That`s incredible!" said Snow as he rub his eyes
"You heal the flower" said Lightning as she check the flower "You have the same ability as Queen Elsie"
"I can`t believe I did it" said Elsie in shock as well "Does this mean I have the same ability as her?"
"You do" said Snow as he hug her "You saved the garden!"
"And it's not the only thing you did" said Lightning as she pointed at her daughter`s flank
Elsie turn around and look at her flank she was expecting to be blank but it wasn't She got her cutie mark! Her cutie mark was the flower the light pink flower.
"Is that my cutie mark!" said Elsie in shock
"Your special talent is taking care of the flower" said Snow as he smiled at her
"My cutie mark!" repeated Elsie as she still couldn't believe it
Lightning and Snow smiled at each other then turn around to the waterfall
"Our daughter save our secret garden" said Lightning as she put her head under Snow`s
"The place where I ask you to become my wife" said Snow as he press his head onto Lightning
Lightning and Snow turned their head to the sides both of their horns meet and their press their foreheads together.
"Which I had no probably on saying yes" said Lightning
Elsie saw that her parents needed to be alone which she didn't mind at all she was happy enough to have her cutie mark, have the same ability as the mare she was named after and she saved the one place that might a lot to her family.
