A New Friend

**Joy Star's Dairy**

Date: ….

I am writing first time in my life. Cadence was teaching me to read and write since a year and so. That was because Bubble started the school and I was also willing to do so but mama just said me this's not time yet. So she appointed my cousin Cadence to teach me. Cadence is a very wise teacher. Now she is an Alicorn. I'm not much surprise at this. She's very much smart and wise for any filly of her age and it was just a matter of time that mama decided to ascend her to an Alicorn. She tells me that friendship and love are the very special elements in anypony's life.

Today I was playing with my toy keyboard sitting in my room. When Bubble came there. My best friend and more precisely the only friend I has. She listen me playing and told me 'I've made a new song.' I was delighted. Her love for singing is amazing. She also had a pretty melodious voice. I told her my idea that how about I play the keyboard and she sing the song. So she sang that song

~Our friendship is the best

oh my friend

Wish this friendship

may never be end~

…

I forgot what was next. But I've to say that was an amazing song. And also she was singing much better than I was playing. I felt a little embarrassed for this. I like music but I think I'm not good at playing it.

I was sitting in mama's bed chambers and I was really bored. Miss Heart Sparkle was there and I was trying to amuse myself by playing with toys but that was too boring. Until Cadence came there and took me with her. She introduced me to a Unicorn colt. His name was Shining Armor. He was getting trained to be a royal guard. He's a cool dude. Bubble wasn't back from school yet so I thought that best way to pass time would be talking to them. Because I didn't have something else to do. Sitting on the soft grass we talk for a while. I think that colt was interested in Cadence. And so does her. I'm not sure but I think they like each other.

Today Shining Armor mentioned about his little sister. Her name is Twilight Sparkle. That name sounds wonderful. I will like to meet her. According to him she's almost of my age. Maybe one day I'll meet her. After a while Bubble went back from school. So I decided to go and play for a while with her.

"Alright! I've to go now!" I said to them.

"Alright little cousin, let me come with you," she act like she really wanted to come.

I knew she was just pretending to be like this. I know she wanted to spend a little time with him alone. Why should I disturb them then?

"No, it's fine Caddie. I'm not a baby anymore," I replied.

"No, my little cousin is six years old now," she rubbed my mane softly.

"Okay, see you later!" I said and went away blushing a little

Cadence! You're clever. Using me to spend time with Shining Armor. I can't stop smiling at this thought.

I went to Bubble. She tells me that how amazing school is and how amazing is the world outside the castle. I also wanted to see that world but my mom said I can't leave the castle until I become a teenager.

Anyways I told her about the Cadence and Shining Armor. She couldn't stop her chuckle after hearing that. Me either. We laugh like this for a while. After that we played there for all the afternoon. This was a pretty fine day.

A very happy Joy

I never thought I'll see what I saw today. I heard a sharp noise outside and went to see what has happened. A sonic rainboom. After this suddenly there was a scene of panic. There was a dragon. A giant dragon. His head was coming out of the roof of mom's school for gifted unicorns. I was scared. I was hoping everypony is fine. My mom and Bubble was also out there. I was not allowed to go outside. I was worried about them. After a while the dragon was disappeared. I understood that mom has everything under control. I was happy that everypony was alright. That's my mom.

Mom told me that a new student is being enrolled in her school for gifted unicorns. I was excited about who she could be. Well I have to wait for tomorrow to know that.

A very surprised Joy

Today I met her. Mom called me to hall. I see that there was four ponies. One of which I already knew. He was Shining Armor.

"Joy meet my new student and personal protégé, Twilight Sparkle." She pointed towards the little filly standing beside Shining Armor "And her parents, Night Light and Twilight Velvet. And you already knew Shining Armor."

So this is the Shining's sister. She was much different from her brother. She had purple coat and a purple mane and tail with a light purple stripe in it. She was very cute.

"Nice to meet you Twilight," I said.

She looked towards me in very concern way. Then she took a round of me as she was trying to figure out what I was. Bubble was upset to see this.

"Wow! Are you a talking monkey, an ape, or something else like them?" That was just not what I expected but I was not so surprise. The above statement was enough to remind how different I really am from other ponies. I looked around as I felt an urge to run towards my mom. Why most of ponies get always the same first expression.

At that Bubble Heart came in front of her. <She's done it> I said to myself

"How dare you to call my friend all this!"

"Who are you by the way?" she asked also in upset mood.

"I'm Bubble Heart. His very best friend. And he's Prince Joy," Bubble replied.

"Cut that out little fillies," Mom looked at Twilight "And Twilight that's not a way to talk to someone. Especially, my son." My mom stopped them before they went further.

"Son?!" Twilight was surprised.

"Yes, he's my son I told you about. Prince Joy Star."

She apologized for her behavior. I forgave her. After all that was not her fault that I'm different from her and everypony else. Bubble also forgive her. All three of us mentioned no hard feelings among us. That day we play different games. And one of my favorite game was warrior and Princess. I pretended the warrior, Bubble pretended the Princess, and Twilight became that ancient spirit who guides the warrior.

Mom gave Twilight a project. She gave her a baby dragon to raise him up. He has purple scally body and a line of green scales on his spine. When she was about to name him, Bubble and I had lots of suggestions. I suggest her names like Talon, Inferno, etc. According to Bubble names like Scorchy, Blaze, would be the best. But she didn't name him any of these. Instead she name him Spike. Well, this is also a good name. But for a dragon this names feels rather odd. I would like to name him Talon or Blaze. Anyways he is very cute baby dragon.

Signed

As always, Joy

Twilight is a nice filly. Her magical abilities are very amazing. But she's more in studying than making friends. She told that before us her only best friend was her big brother. She called him Big Brother Best Friend Forever. In short BBBFF. Today she came to me when I was reading my favorite comic sitting in my room. 'Daring Do sounds like an amazing Pegasus. She has saved the world from many wicked villains for many times.' I was going through the comic as she came inside the room and came in front of me. I looked towards her.

"Can I ask you something?" she said.

"Well, I guess you can," I replied her.

"Can you tell me what… ta… type of creature are you?"

I fell to a silence. Even I didn't know the answer. I always thought of myself as an odd looking pony. What else I could? Surely I was not a monkey or something. Mom didn't knew answer either. But she always loved me for what I was. And this is the only thing matters to me. I am her son.

"I truly don't know the answer… maybe I'll have the answer someday. I promise I'll tell you then."

"Oh… okay then… Can you tell me about those limbs at your hoof end?"

"These!" I said fluttering the limbs at my hoof ends. "I use them to bring food to my mouth. With them it's easier to write than using my mouth as all earth ponies do."

She noted all of this in a scroll. Wow, she's very passionate about discovering new things. Always eager to know something new.

"Hope I didn't make you feel upset."

"No it's fine Twilight. Actually I like your eagerness for knowing new things," she blushed as I said this.

"Thanks, I like you too. I mean… knowing you," she smiled.

"Well…" I said as I noticed something.

In mean time Bubble came to my room. She had something with her. It was something like a rectangular box. She was quite surprise to see Twilight there.

"Hi Bubble, I was just asking some questions from Prince. Princess allowed me for this. Hope you didn't mind." She said and smiled slyly

"No, why would I? I just thought you usually be busy in your studies," Bubble gave her a smile "So anypony up for a game." Said Bubble in excited voice opening that box. It was actually a board game.

I instantly replied in yes. But Twilight said that she is heading back to reading more books. So she went to do so. Bubble looked towards me. I just shrug my shoulders.

"She's a gifted unicorn right. No doubt she has so much to study. Anyways, you still wanna play."

"Why not?"

Then we played a new board game she brought with her today. This was just a fine day. Hope Twilight is not stressing over too much.

A little confused Joy

**End of Diary Entries**

"Signed, a little confused Joy." Joy said as he finished writing that day's diary.

"Confused? About what?" he heard a lovely voice.

"Mom!" Joy rushed towards his mom leaving his dairy on the bed.

"What my sweetheart has here?" she went towards the bed and pick up the dairy.

"Mom! Wait!" Joy said, but she already had opened the diary.

She started to read that dairy. Her expressions changed randomly from surprise, to glee. Celestia looked towards him. He smiled and blushed prettily. Then she put the dairy at a side and said her son to sit beside her. Joy did so.

"I am impressed!" she asked in a slightly sarcastic manner.

Joy lowered his face and blushed at this statement. Celestia smiled and nuzzled his hair softly.

"So, what did you think about Twilight?" she asked him.

"She's a nice filly, I guess. But she's more interested in studies rather than playing and something else. But I've to say that she's a hardworking filly."

She smiled at this answered. He blushed and smiled at this. She hugged him and said

"So should I show this diary to Cadence. I think she'll be very happy to see that her student is doing so well." she chuckled and looked towards his diary.

"Mom, please stop teasing me." he said in a babyish tone.

"Oh, sweetheart! Don't worry! I was joking!" she said and chuckle lightly.

"MAMA!" he said and wrapped his arms around his mother's neck and giving her a hug.

"So, do you want to see the sunset?" she asked him as she got up from her bed.

"Of course! I do!" he said and both mother and son went to the terrace.

Celestia as always, set the sun and raised the moon. Her son just watched her as she did so. This was his favorite thing to see. After this was done both mother and son sat on the terrace for a while. And then they both decided to sit in the gardens to enjoy the moonlight a little more.

"The mom, will I ever know about myself."

"I don't know about this my son. But it doesn't matter whether you'll or not. I'll always love you sweetheart."

His expressions changed from confused, to glee. He hugged his mother delightfully. Celestia wrapped her foreleg around him.

"I love you mom."

"Mama loves you too," she said as she stroked his back softly.

After sitting there for a while, both mother and son headed back to castle. Celestia went to her bed chambers and Joy went to his bedroom. He rested himself on the soft mattress of his bed, placed his head upon soft cushion, and drifted to sleep in no time. It was just a relaxing end to a beautiful day.

On other hand Twilight was in her study room. Baby Dragon Spike was in a little bed beside her. She was reading a book when she closed the book and smiled lightly.

"Did I really said I like him?"
