AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM THE WORST I WILL FOREVER KEEP YOU ALL IN SUSPENSE CX AT. THE. END. OF. EACH. CHAPTER. ;3 MAYBE. so I was thinking of the story and how I was originally going to use the son of the duke and duchess of martonia. then I decided to just use Blue Blood seeing as most MOST not all hate him. kinda. so yeah... on to the story.

"We need a vacation! Do you need a vacation Starry Gleam? I DEFINITELY NEED A VACATION" Twilight twitched a little bit, using her magic to start packing a suit case. "We could always go see the crystal empire! Wouldn't you love to see where you were born?"

Starry Gleam spoke gibberish at his mom's break down. Twilight took it as him agreeing to the 'vacation'. The girls would be there at any moment so Twilight could briefly explain where she was going.

"Na" Starry Gleam called out to Twilight, his back hoofs furiously kicking forward as he laughed. Twilight ran her hoof over her mane and signed loudly.

"Wouldn't you love to see Uncle Shining? Him and Aunty Cadence are probably on their way back home" Twilight explained. A little time from the interesting talk she had with Blue Blood would be just right.

"I can't believe I agreed" Twilight laid on her back grabbing Starry Gleam and holding him up in the air. "I did it...for you".

"nuuuuuugh" Twilight suddenly cried out. Her eyes drained of color and suddenly turned white. Her body began to spasm and twitch like when she was passing her entrance exam. She started to rise, her magic lightly placing Starry Gleam on the bed, as multiple memories coursed through her vision.

"Twilight are you alright, dear? The doctor said to get plenty of rest. You are carrying twins" A voice called to her.

"I know I just...Starry Gleams been acting strange these past few days"

"He's just trying to cope with the news"

"He is definitely his father's son"

"Indeed so... to keep you off the stress i'll talk to him. I want those two in there to be healthy and strong alicorns! like their mother"

"They could be just unicorns or earth pony or even Pegasi"

"Right" The voice said. "Get some rest and ill go talk to Starry Gleam and maybe go shave my goatee"

"Keep it short and simple"

Twilight's eyes slowly opened to find herself in bed. No pony seemed to be around not even...

"STARRY GLEAM!?" Twilight sat up in her bed and held in the scream that terribly wanted to come out. She hopped out of bed and found herself trying so hard to stand.

"Get back in to bed missy" Apple Jack ordered trotting towards her to help. The girl's walked in with Starry Gleam, who silently slept in FlutterShy's hoofs. Isn't this the greatest day in Twilight's life?

"Is he okay" Twilight asked

"He's fine" FlutterShy answered. "It's you who we're worried about" Pinkie hopped over to her and placed a hoof on her forehead.

"I must've blacked out after..." Twilight shook her head. "It doesn't make sense"

"What doesn't make sense, dear?" Rarity asked. Spike walked in with water and a bowl of soup.

"I-it was like a dream but it felt so real" Twilight explained, accepting the water from Spike. She drank it fast and placed the cup down. She adjusted her self in to her bed and offered her hooves out to accept Starry Gleam.

"Starry Gleam and I will be going on vacation to crystal empire tomorrow" Twilight revealed to the girls. "I want Starry Gleam to know at least half of his heritage" The words almost choked Twilight as she just gave a little information away of where his dad came from.

"HE'S HALF CRYSTAL PONY?"

"Whoops did I say that out loud" Twilight laughed lightly before silenced filled the room once more. Twilight felt her face heat up just a little. What if the girls pointed their hoofs straight to him.

"Can we come along?" Pinkie questioned bouncing up and down.

"Sorry Pinkie but I feel this vacation should just be me and Starry Gleam" Twilight replied, "Spike will be in charge of the castle till I come back"

"Wow this castle is huge!" Flash trotted alongside Soarin. "It might be bigger than Princess Celestias"

"I doubt it... then again only 1 pony, 1 dragon and a foal live here" Soarin explained.

"This castle is the Princess of Friendship's castle right?"

"Yeah" Soarin replied. "Twilig-" Soarin didn't even get to finish his sentence before he heard some arguments coming from a specific room. Soarin and Flash looked at each other surprised. A slam of a door opening was heard.

"I'll be off to the crystal empire for...as long as until I feel like coming back!" Twilight called to the ponys in the room. Some complaints can be heard from the mares in the room who followed the Princess of Friendship.

She blatantly ignored the pegasi that watched her walk past them. She had her magic carry a few suit cases and had Starry gleam in a Foal sling. Her ears seemed to perk up after a moment of trotting but she didn't dare look back.

"Twilight wait!" Soarin flew towards her leaving Flash to question the 5 mares that stood before him. Twilight.

"Where are you off to?" Soarin questioned. He flew beside her as she trotted towards the train station.

"The crystal empire I just need to get away for a while" Twilight answered, she kept her face forward. Soarin, of course, became a father to Starry Gleam and a 2nd big brother to Twilight. Despite being only a month or so older then her.

"Do you want to talk about what happened back there? Or really explain to me why your leaving to the crystal empire? Your not going to try to find him, are you?"

"no, I already told you and no..." Twilight replied to his questions. He signed.

He flew in front of her and made her hooves stop abruptly. He nuzzled her and Starry Gleam. "Stay safe. and bring this little guy back intact"

"I will and if any pony's gonna come back in pieces i'll make sure it's me before him" She gestured to Starry Gleam and smiled.

"Welp that only half reassured me" Soarin joked. They said there final good byes before she continued on her way to the train station.
