Chapter 3 – The New Found Friendship – Fakes and Reals revealed

The two Princess came to Ponyville in a carriage pulled by two Pegasus guards.

Every pony in Ponyville was cheering for the return of Princess Luna.

Seven ponies who just found friendship watched the scene unfold feeling proud of themselves.

"Let's Party!" Pinkie Pie said with excitement.

Everypony cheered.

Twilight and Blue were then surrounded by the other five ponies.

Celestia approached the group of friends. "Twilight, your actions today have made me very proud, now, let's go, you're library awaits you."

"But, I just made these wonderful friends, and now I have to leave them?"

Celestia sighed. "Then I shall made a deal with you."

"A deal?"

"Yes, you can stay here in Ponyville, but every week you must right to me your findings on Friendship."

"It's a deal!" She said; gaining the cheers from her friends and everypony else.

"And as for you, Blue Shadow."

"Yes Princess?"

"I'd like moment alone with you, I promise not to take too long."

"Of course milady." He said with a gentle tone about his voice.

Celestia led the stallion away.

"What is it Princess?"
"I came with a bit of information, and it's important."

"Okay, tell me."

"Well, I thought I'd do some information searching on a tip I was given from a couple who moved away from Canterlot some time ago."

"My parents?"

"Well, that's how you know them, yes."

"What do you mean Princess?"

"When I was information searching, I found this..." The alicorn said as she showed Blue Shadow a piece of paper: a birth certificate.

"W-what is this?!"

"My tipsters told me that you would always question if you were really related to them."

"So...I'm not?"

"No. They took care of you even if they never knew who your real parents were."

The stallion looked down. "Then who are my real parents?" He asked himself.

~ Remembering Kite Tales ~

"Aw. I'm sorry kiddo." She said ruffling his mane. "It'll get better."

"Thanks..." Shadow said with a shy smile.

The mare giggled. "It's no trouble."

"Ma'am?"

"Yes?"

"Aren't you gonna do something fun with your son till your husband gets home?"

"I have arrangements to make. Sorry Blue..." The mother mare said looking at her son. "Maybe some other time." She finished.

Blue sighed.

The mother mare went back inside and shut the door behind her.

"Hey, Blue Shadow right?"

"Yeah. I never got your name."

"Oh that's easy, I'm Kite Tales."

The colt smiled a little.

"Did you wanna have some fun while you're waiting for your dad?"

"Sure." The colt said; his face seeming to instantly light up.

Kite Tales smiled. "So what did you wanna do?"

"I was hoping you had an idea."

The moving mare thought for a moment.

Blue waited.

"I got it!"

The colt looked at her.

"Why don't we play cloud bump."

"What's that?"

"We make a cloud ball and bump it between our heads and pass it to one another. Doesn't that sound fun?"

"It does! Let's do it!"

The two pegusi flew up to the clouds and played cloud bump for what seemed like a couple hours till they saw a blue coated unicorn trotting to the house below them.

"Is that your dad?"

"Yup..."

"Not bad..."

"Huh?!"

The two landed.

"It's nothin really..."

"Okay."

"Ya know somethin?"

"What?"

"I'm gonna quit my moving job and ask if I can be your foal sitter."

"Really?!"

"Yup, that'll be fun huh?"

"You bet!" Blue Shadow said as he hugged the mare.

Kite Tales giggled. "Alright alright, le'me get hooked up"

"Okay."

~ End of Remembrance ~

Shadow snapped himself from his thoughts. "She was always there...Kite Tales, and her partner would always stop by, and both of them look like me: a Pegasus with some sort of blue coat, and dark mane, and some sort of blue eyes..."

"Blue Shadow? Are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah...I'm fine. I was just thinking about something."

"Is the smudged name of your parents?"

"That, and there was something I just remembered something from my childhood."

"Care to share?" The princess asked.

"A mare by the name of Kite Tales and her partner, a stallion by the name of River Flight, were always there for me, they're both pegusi, they have the same basic color pallet as me, and they treat me with a ton of kindness, as if I were their son."

Celestia smiled. "Then you'll love this..." She said before showing him a cleaned up version of his birth certificate. "Take a look at the name of your parents."

Blue Shadow looked at the paper and looked at the name of his parents; his eyes widening. "K-Kite Tales and R-River Flight?!"

"Yes, your gut was right the entire time."

"I...I can't believe this..."

"Well, I wouldn't say that quite yet young stallion."

"Huh?"

The Princess motioned for somepony to come to her; making Shadow even more confused.

A mare and stallion approached the other two ponies; Shadow's eyes widening.

"Kite Tales?! River Flight?!"

"How 'bout calling us Mom and Dad." River Flight said.

Kite Tales opened her arms for Shadow. "C'mere you!" She said before hugging him.

The cobalt stallion's eyes had tears in them as they shut.

"I was gonna say something, but...I didn't know how to say it when you were still under the watch of your non-biological parents. They were always taking you away from me, so what choice did I have?"

"I don't blame you..."

Kite Tales smiled and kisses her son's forehead. "I always knew you were mine."

Shadow smiled. "And I always felt comfortable around you." He said before stepping back a little.

"Go back to your friends, we'll catch up later at our house okay?"

"Wait my house or yours?"

"Ours, you can still live by yourself if you want."

"Thanks that would be great." He said before trotting back to his friends.

The six mares smiled.

"Who were they?" Twilight asked.

"My biological parents..."

"Wow really? They seem pretty cool." Rainbow said.

"Yeah...they are." Shadow said with a gentle smile.

Rainbow put her muzzle under the stallion's chin with a small smile. "Your cheeks are a little damp..." She said silently.

"I know."

"Why?"

"I was happy to see who my real parents were. They knew all that time, but they just could never tell me."

"Aw...that's so sad..." The cyan mare said as she nuzzled his neck with the side of her face showing her sympathies for him.

"I'm just glad I found them, and found friends like you guys." He said.

The six mares smiled.

Shadow felt a tap on his shoulder and looked behind him and saw Princess Luna. "Oh hi."

"Hello...I wanted to thank you for releasing me from my darkness personally. You're Blue Shadow yes?"

"Yeah. It's an honor to meet you Princess Luna."

"Likewise. I understand you represent the Element of Passion."

"Yeah."

"It's been what seems like forever since there was a pony that represented that element."

"I understand that very well princess."

The princess of the night smiled a little. "That's good to hear."

Shadow smiled a little. "Did you maybe wanna hang out with us here in Ponyville?"

"That sounds great..." Luna said shyly.

Shadow laughed lightly; he had to admit: Luna was cute when she acted shy.

Luna blushed unnoticeably and walked with the seven other ponies as they went to Sugar Cube Corner to celebrate a job well done.

Celestia watched as her younger sister walked next to Shadow and Rainbow Dash as they happily trotted away. "Looks like she's found friends...it's been a long time since that's happened. I just hope everything goes well." She thought.

"Shall we go princess?" A guard questioned.

"Yes." Celestia answered. The Princess of the Sun stepped into her carriage and royally waved to the citizens of Ponyville as she left for Canterlot.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake served a buffet of sweets and other foods as Pinkie Pie played music on the stereo.

Luna stood with Shadow and Rainbow as she elegantly ate a cupcake; not getting a single dab of frosting on her.

Shadow was eating a cookie; often getting crumbs on his muzzle.

Rainbow giggled at this and wiped them away. "You're so silly." She said.

Blue smiled. "I know."
