Light was sitting on the couch. Celestia, Luna, and Supernova were standing off to the side as baby Aurora giggled in her mother's arms.

Sombra was pacing around the room. He kept shaking his head and murmuring under his breath.

Finally, taking a deep breath he spoke. "Light I'm a reasonable father. I let you stay up late, go to the movies, and even let you try some royal duties all by yourself."

Standing still he said, "But what's the one thing I told you not to do?" Light hung her head.

"Did you know the stallion?"

"I-"

"Did you know him?" Sombra repeated.

"Yes I did." she admitted. "How many times have I told you that his mother is an evil tyrant!" he said.

"But Mythic's not like that!" she objected. "Like mother, like son!" he said.

"Why can't you give him a chance!" Light snapped back.

He shook his head, "Light he's playing you and then one day he's going to turn around and-"

"Daddy, I love him!"

The only sound of the room was a gasp from the two sisters. Sombra stood there in shock as his eye twitched.

"Have you lost your mind?" Sombra said, "He's the son of the woman that's after me!"

"I don't care." Light mumbled to herself.

"You can't love somepony who's going to steal magic from you! Because I'm sure that's exactly what his mother trained him to do!" Sombra said.

Light couldn't take it no longer. She turned to the door and ran towards her room. "I'm not done talking to you Light Shine Celestia Breeze!" Sombra called.

"Well I am!" Light cried back.

Sombra let out a sigh as Celestia walked over to him and rapped her wing around him.

"Sombra, Light may have a point." she said. "What? How could you be siding with her?" Sombra said in disbelief.

"No what I mean is that Mythic boy could be different." she said. Sombra replied, "But I can't trust him! What happens if he is as just as evil as Radiant Hope! I don't want her to hurt my little girl, or you."

"40 years ago, we all thought that Discord would hurt Fluttershy. 20 years ago we thought Mothball would hurt Screwball. And only a few months ago we thought Comet Galaxy and Supernova would hurt Luna and Fluffball." Celestia said.

"What's the point you're making?" he said. "What she means is, that everypony deserves a chance." Supernova said.

"And look at Discord, Mothball, Supernova, and Comet Galaxy." Luna added, "They are all good stallions who have proved themselves time and time again."

Sombra looked around the room and then at baby Aurora. The alicorn bat pony laughed as she looked at Sombra.

He sighed, "You're right. I should have put them in this situation. Maybe I better talk to her."

"It's best if you let her cool off." Celestia said.

The first thing Light did was teleport herself to her sanctuary. She then fell to the floor and cried in her hooves.

Light sobbed as the night's events raced through her mind. Her friends getting together, her dance with Myth, the fight with her father. It would only be a matter of time before her father found her.

"Breezie?"

Sooner than she thought. "Go away!"

"Huh?"

Light looked up to see Mythic. Light sniffed as she wiped away a tear.

"Are you ok?" he asked. "Yeah, it's just. Daddy and I got into an argument."

"Sorry that was my fault." he said.

"No, I'm the one who used my magic against him," she sighed, "I guess I am a magic screw-up."

"Breezie you're anyhting but a magic screw-up!" Mythic comforted.

Light sighed, "Thanks. It'll be ok, I just wish I didn't yell at him like that." she said.

"So how have you been?" he asked.

"Well," she sniffed, "A few months ago my friend got into a huge battle with bat ponies but in the end we all made peace. I also got a baby cousin."

"A baby?" he said in surprise. "Yeah, she's the cutest alicorn bat pony baby you'll ever see." She replied.

"Does she do what you do?" he said sitting next to her.

Nodding her head, she said, "Yeah but she sure is sneaky. I guess that's what bat-ponies are though."

Light smiled at Mythic making him shift uncomfortably.

Things were going to plan, all he had to do was pretend that he actually cared, squeeze more information from her, and then lure her into a trap so that he could steal her magic. This is what his mother wanted but not what he wanted.

After a moment of silence Light started to lean forward. Mythic saw this and started to panic. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"What's it looks like I'm doing?" she said calmly as she leaned forward again. Mythic saw this and said, "Breezie I can't!"

"Why not?" Light said stubbornly.

"With our type a magic, who knows what will happen if you put your lips on mine." he said.

"You mean if we kiss?" she said.

"That's what's it's called?" he said to himself.

"Mythic don't you see?" she said.

"See what?" he said.

"This." as she laid her head on his chest. His cheeks went red as the unusual feeling came back but this time, more powerful.

"What do you feel?" she said. Mythic tried to find words. "I-I feel this new feeling. Like a whole new level of happiness and joy."

"That my friend, is called love." she said.

Mythic looked at her endless flowing mane. He had no words to say.

"B-But I don't know what love is? I've never experienced it!" Mythic said.

Light laid her hoof on his. "You don't half to know it, you feel it. Besides your mother has to at least show a sign of motherly love, right?"

Mythic didn't know a time his mother show any sign of a mother's love. His mother.

He turned away from her, not wanting her to see the fear and concern in his eyes. "You should go." he said, "Your parents might get worried."

Light frowned, "When can I see you again?" "I don't know. Just stay safe." he said.

Light was surprised by the tone of voice he had, fear. Nodding she opened her wings and flew away.

As he watched her go, Mythic narrowed his eyes and marched towards his home.

Light laid on her bed. Although seeing Mythic made her feel a bit better, she was still overcome by sadness and anger. A knock came to her door. "Light, it's us. Your friends."

"Come in." she said.

Her friends gathered around her bed and looked with concerned eyes. "Light are you ok?" Fluffball asked.

"Do I look ok?" she snapped.

Her friends flinched at her tone. "I'm sorry you guys, a lot of stuff has happened."

"We've notice." Thunder said."By any chance was that the stallion you were sneaking off to play with years ago?" Galaxy asked.

Light nodded her head. "Listen Light," Fluffball said, "In the experience I went through a few months ago and what happened between my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa, there will be a way."

Light looked at her friends who nodded in agreement. A tear escaped from Light's eye. "You guys are the best friends any pony could ask for. Thank you."

As they went in for a group hug, Sombra and Celestia stood at the door. "You could talk to her in the morning." she said comforting her husband.

Sombra sighed, "Yeah, I just wish I could know that the boy won't harm her."

When Mythic walked through the door Radiant Hope said, "What did you learn?"

"I don't want to be a part of this no more." Mythic murmured. "Please Mythic speak up. I can't hear you. You know how I hate the mumbling." she said in annoyance.

"I said I do not want part of this no more!" Mythic said raising his voice.

"Are you arguing with me?" she snarled, surprised of her son's attitude.

"So what if I am?" he said angrily. Radiant Hope shot a powerful beam at Mythic and he was now in a cage.

He scowled at his mother as she said, "No pony, talks to me that way! Especially my own son!"

Mythic was scared out of his wits but courage helped him stand firm. "Do what you like with me. Heck drain my magic out, just leave that family alone!" he shouted.

"Those ponies have made you gone soft! No matter I have just enough power to rule but I need info first." She said stomping her hooves.

Mythic tried using a spell but noticed that his horn had black crystals. "What did you do to me?" he said. "I merely put a spell that will prevent you from using any kinds of magic." she truned to him, "I taught you the antidote but it's your fault if you forgot."

Mythic scowled as Radiant Hope circled her imprisoned son like a hungry Timberwolf. "I should have known those visits with that alicorn screw-up would have made you become good."

Her lips curled into a smile as an idea slipped to mind. "So this mare is special to you isn't she my boy?"

Mythic gulped as Radiant smiled. "What would happen if she were to, I don't know, get hurt?" she said deviously. "I could always just suck her until she can no longer feel pain! Her magic is rather powerful."

"No, please don't hurt her!" he begged.

"Then you will tell me what I want to know." she smiled, her muzzle inches from her son's face.

Soooooooo things are getting a little heated up, now aren't they?
