I leaned back in my chair with tears in my eyes. “Wow..... Who knew that this little fic could be so sad!” I wiped away some tears that had started to fall. “Ok Connor calm down. Im glad I don’t have to go threw that.” I laughed a bit to myself and closed the browser. “Well now I have to get ready for school.” I got up and put on my best clothes, I felt as tho I needed to after reading My Little Dashie, I mean that was so freaking sad! I need to get over myself.... Oh well! Off to school!
Another dull and shity and boring day at school raised my spirits a bunch! “Gods I need to get a hobby...” I mumbled to myself as I kicked a rock into a near by bush. I heard a yelp and jumped. “GODS ALMIGHTY PAINT BRUSH!” I yelled as I fell over on the hard sidewalk. I looked around for the source of this yelp that scared me almost to the point of needing to change my pants. “Hello?” I called out getting up. “Um if your hurt please tell me i’ll pay for medical stuff.” I finally turned to where I kicked the rock, Oh gods there is something moving in there. “Oh boy......Deep breaths Connor, deep breaths.” I slowly approached the bush being as silent as I could and moved the leaves a bit to peek inside. There was definitely something in there but it was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing. I backed out to think. ‘right now I could leave alone and let nature take care of itself or I could bolt home and get a flashlight.’ I thought myself into a head ache and finally decided I would rush home and back. I took off down the street towards where my house was. when I got there I was greeted by my mother whos name shall remain secret.
“Hey, how was school?” She looked over at me from the couch.
“Um fine fine, wheres the flashlight?” She gave me a confused look and pointed over at the table. “Oh I love how simple this family can get!” I laughed grabbing it then rushing out the door.
“Make sure you call me if your going to be out all night!” She called after me as I again bolted down the street. I had been in such a hurry I diden’t notice how tired I was getting.
“Curse you not so fit body!” I growled still running. By the time I had got back it was about 3:00. “Hehehe I make awesome time!” I giggled sneaking over to the bush again. When I moved the leaves this time whatever was in there jumped and back up until it bumped into the tree behind it. “Don’t worry.” I said softly. “I won’t hurt you...” I clicked on the flashlight and what I saw made me drop it, strangely the light stayed on the little bundle of black fur. “W-what in the....?” Was all I could manege. “L-Luna?” I said this of course 10 minutes later due to my extreme amazement. She had wide teal eyes and her main in the light looked a dark blue, I may have also gotten her pelt color wrong but at the time I wasin’t in my logical mind. She was still cowering and dident react to me calling her name. She was a lot smaller then she was on the show......
*click*
“OH MY GODS YOUR A BABY!” My sudden outburst caused her to yelp louder then before. I quickly slapped myself for being a idiot and to further this I made a stupid face. What surprised me was she looked at me with more confusion then fear. ‘oh my gods comedy works! YES!’ I giggled a bit but that made her start to shiver again. I sighed and backed out of the bush to sit. “When you want to come out please do, I would like to meet you.” I hoped that she would understand that much for being almost as old as a 10 month old. During my very long wait I thought about some stuff like what will I do when she comes out? How will I make sure she is safe? How the hell am I going to get her to school!? I mean she can’t know nothing growing up! I need to find this out before... *Whimper*, I was cut of in my mind ranting when the cutest little sound came from the bush. “.... I'm still here, don’t worry.” I sounded like a father and LOVED IT! She dident make any other sounds for a while so I pulled out my phone and texted my mom. ‘Mom, going to be out for some time. Don’t make me supper i’ll get something, love ya’ I shut my phone off and put it in my pocket.
I almost fell asleep when I heard the bush rustle. I turned my head slowly to see her staring at me with those huge teal eyes. Pushing the urge to d’aww out of my head for now I smiled warmly at her. “Hello.” I said so low and softly it could make Fluttershy seem loud. She flinched and backed up into the bush a bit but slowly came back out. “Your so cute.” I moved my hand to my (other) pocket and pulled out a half eaten chocolate bar. I snapped a piece off and slowly extended my hand towards her. She again flinched and backed up a bit. “Oh come on now, I won’t eat you.” I smiled again trying to seem not-so-bad-looking. She sniffed and walked a bit closer studying the chocolate. She soon took it in her mouth very fast and jumped back into the bushes. I couldn't help but the giggle a bit. I sat there and waited about 3 minutes before she came back out even more wide eyed. “Good isent it?” I broke another piece off and held it out. She hurried over and took it, nibbling like a mouse would with cheese. 'By the gods this little filly is just SO GODDAM CUTE!’ I was mentally geeking out when she gulped down the last of it. “Ya know it is getting cold out here,” I looked up as the sun started going down. Wow I was out here that long? I looked over to her with warm eyes. I took of my jacket (Don’t ever do that when it is getting cold, EVER!) and put in on the ground. “Come here.” I patted the jacket. She looked at me then the jacket and finally went over to investigate. When she stood in the middle I set my evil plan to ‘go’ states and quickly moved my hands under the jacket and picked her up.
Now I must worn you she kicks a LOT! So I had some trouble. She was struggling like she was about to be gulped up by a grate white. “Shh shh shh its ok...” I pulled her close to my chest with her still kicking (hurts). When my body heat finally got threw to her she calmed down but was still scared witless. “Its ok now....” She looked up at me and finally I got a better look at her pelt. It was a purple-ish blue color with a bit of dirt here and there. “You poor thing, You need a bath.” She tilted her head at me trying to understand. “Come on. I have a place not to far from here with plumbing.” Now I fail to say but I have a tree house with electricity and running water! I love my epic family. I got up and she flinched clinging to me with all her might, witch was adorable beyond words! “Don’t worry I got you.” I said in a soothing voice as I began walking. It really wasint that far but far enough away to where she started sleeping lightly in my arms. “Oh gods she is too cute! Why do I keep saying that?” I mumbled so I wouldn't wake her up. “A name! That's what I forgot! I suppose i’ll just keep calling you Luna or lulu” Lulu.....I like it! I was approaching the very large tree with a well crafted house built on top. “How long have I been away from here?......a week. I think I may need to clean up a bit.” I giggled. I walked over to the door that was put into the trunk of the tree, now I know what your thinking and no its not a elevator. I opened the door and looked at the ladder leading up. “Ok now how to make this work...”
I looked at it up and down and started climbing with one hand. It was harder then I thought it would be but Lulu made this cute little sound when my body temp went up that kept me going. I got to the top and leaned agents the ladder, I pushed the small trap door open with my once again free hand and crawled up and inside. The place dident look bad for not being used in a week. The sofa was untouched (Thank the gods) and the TV looked the same. I moved over to the couch and sat Lulu down. She opened her eyes slowly and yawned (SQWEEEE!). She looked at me with tired eyes then studied the small living room. “Well it’s not much for now but at least it’s warm.” I sighed and looked for the remote. Like all ways it was under the couch pillows, I flicked on the TV and sat next to Lulu watching Tom and Jarry. “hehehe that crazy cat.” I giggled, these old TV shows always made me laugh even tho some where bad. Lulu was looking at it in awe and confusion. I scratched the top of her head as if she where a dog. “How long where you out there?” I mumbled mostly to myself. The sun had gone down and the night was fast approaching. I checked my watch, 9:01. “Alright Lulu.” I got up and turned off the TV. She gave me a look of sadness. “It;s time to hit the hay.” I picked her up slowly and began walking into the other room. “I forgot how big this place was. Problem logic?” I laughed a bit loud witch made Lulu jump. “Oh im sorry Lulu.” I sat her down and the small bed and walked over to the side to get in. “Good-night Lulu.” I smiled at her and put my head down on the pillow. What happened next made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I felt her get up and walk over to my side. By this time I could see her but I think she thought I was asleep.
She then slowly got up on my chest and curled up into a tiny ball to keep warm. After a bit I moved the blanket around a bit so it was covering all but her little head, sure I dident have a blanket covering most of my upper-body now but it was worth keeping the little filly warm. I soon found myself drifting off to sleep but before I did and leaned up gently and kissed Lulu on the head (avoiding the horn). “What am I getting myself into?” I mumbled as I finally fell into a deep slumber.
“Do you honestly think you can keep her safe?” I shot up to find myself flouting in darkness.
“Um yes?” I said looked around confused. I moved my legs down and came into contact with what I thought to be the floor. “Um am I going to be eaten? If so use a good pan and salt.” I heard a giggle that made me smiled.
“Do not try mock me!” I flinched a bit. This voice sounded so familiar. “Now I will ask again and do not give me a stupid answer! Do you honestly think you can keep her safe?” I got a bit pissed. Whoever this was was in for a world of hurt.
“Do I need to answer you? What makes you think just because you sound high and mighty you get to order me around? THE NERVE!” I crossed my arms like I was upset. That may have thrown it off a bit cus I heard muttering.
“Because I could destroy you! So answer me!” Alright! I’v had it! EPIC DREAM POWER TIME!
I snapped my finger and the world lightened up. The voice gasped on suprise and I grinned like a troll. “You mad?” I snapped my finger again and out of no where a large pony that looked a lot like Lulu appeared but had armor on with......
Oh my gods that's Nightmare Moon.
“How did you do that?! I have full control here!” I couldn't help but giggle.
“Well my dear you see its MY head so MY rules.” I started laughing like a mad man witch dident calm her down any sooner.
“How dare you mock me!” She looked as tho she was about to zap me but I snapped my fingers and her horn dissapered. “W-what the?” I laughed again.
“If I can stand up to you what makes you think I can’t protect my little Lulu?” She looked at me with a mix of hate and surprise. I was starting to wake up and I knew this cus the world started to fall apart.
“You haven’t seen the last of me you little pest!” She hissed at me and dissapered.
“No hug good-bye?” I put on a sad face but laughed all the same.
I woke up with a smile on my face. “Ah what a good dream!” I declared. I love weekends for today was Saturday and I had all day to turn myself into a vegetable. Then I remembered the small filly on my chest still sleeping like a rock. “Aww.” I smiled and gently nudged her with my hand. “wake up Lulu.” I whispered as she slowly woke up. She looked well rested but a bit mad I woke her up. “Come on. You need a bath.” I picked her up and got up myself. I took a deep breath and sighed happily. “You smell that Lulu?” She looked up at me. “That is the smell of adventure!” I giggled and got off the bed to go into the bathroom. I set he on the floor and asked her to follow me. I walked over to the bathroom door and turned to see her cuddled around my legs. “Your a good listener.” I patted her head and opened the door. The bathroom was small and had no tub, just the toilet and sink. “Alright Lulu you just wait here a moment and i’ll have your bath ready.” I started the hot water and the cold water so that it would be warm enough for her. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Lulu exploring the room. I had to stop her from drinking out of the toilet and from unrolling all the toilet paper. When the sink was full and picked her up. “Alright Lulu get ready.” I set her in the water and she let out a little gasp from the sudden warmness. She quickly got use to it and was splashing water at the mirror of herself. She was having a blast form the cute little giggles I heard and the huge grin on her face. “Oh your to much.” I laughed and picked up the soup, She gave me a irritated look when I held her still, I started rubbing her down with the soup covering her in little bubbles and suds. She laughed at the bubbles flouting around us as did I. She opened her mouth to grab one before I could stop her she bit down on one and stuck out her tung. “Bad isent it?” I laughed and patted her head. I ran the warm water again and rinsed her off. She licked some of it up to get the taste of soup out of her mouth. “Good idea.” I mumbled and took a handful of water and drunk some. I couldn't believe how thirsty I was. I grabbed a towel and picked her up out of the sink. I began drying her off, the cutest thing happened and I started playing peek-a-boo with her and the towel. “A-boo!” I looked out from behind the towel and looked at her giggling face. I moved back behind the towel. “Wheres Lulu?” I faked looking around, she giggled even more. She had this soft high pitched laugh that made it sound like bells ringing. “A-boo!” I jumped out from behind the towel, she let out a little scream then started giggling again. ‘OH MY GODS THIS IS TOO CUTE! HEART-ATTACK WORTHY!’ I was geeking out in my head again while I repeated the game for a few more minutes. I finally put the towel away then scooped her up making monster sounds. “rawr! Im going to get you!” She screamed again and laughed as I tickled her tummy while walking out into the living room. I set the giggling ball of fur down. “Alright Lulu I need to get a soda.” She looked so happy! Argh I hated leaving her alone even if I was just walking into the next room. “Lulu!”
My hear skipped a beat. She talked! And she sed her name too! “Oh Lulu!” I gave her a hug. “Lulu!” She piped again. Her voice was also a bit high pitched but meh it was still cute! “Alright honey i’ll be right back.” I grabbed the remote and turned on some cartoons. She looked at the TV with amazement again. I turned and walked into the bed room. “Now where was that?” I looked arounf until I found the mini-fridge. “Ah!” I opened it and grabbed a bottle of pepsi. I also took out a bottle of water so I could give Lulu a drink. I walked back into the living room where Lulu was still sitting on the couch looking at the TV. “Lulu.” She looked at me while I sat down. “Want a drink?” I pulled up on the cap of the water bottle and pulled her over to me. She looked at it for a bit. “D-r-i-n-k?” She sounded out the word and my heart exploded(Remember that? I do!) “Yes drink!” I smiled. She sat on my lap and took the top of it in her mouth like a baby would a bottle. I tipped it forward and she started drinking, she made this cute little sound too. She stopped for a breath of air then went back to drinking.
‘Im going to give myself a heart attack doing this.’ I thought as she stopped again. Of course being a hyper 14 year old dident help when I got bored but I kept it together. She stopped altogether when the bottle was half empty. “all done?” I looked at her and smiled. “y-yes.” She mumbled and again my heart exploded. “O-ok then.” I got up and walked back into the bed room to put the water back. I opened the fridge and put it back. “Hmm maby she’s hungry....” I looked around until I saw chocolate pudding. “Nice!” I laughed and grabbed it. I also grabbed a spoon before heading back into the living room. “Alright are you hungry?” I sat back down next to her and opened the pudding. She knew the smell and was looking at the pudding excitedly. I scooped up a small bit and looked at her with a smiled. “Here ya go.” I moved the spoon over to her and she opened her mouth, she took the spoon in her mouth and ripped it out of my hands. I giggled as she tried to swallow the pudding but the spoon was in the way. I grabbed the spoon and pulled it out of her mouth gently. She swallowed the rest of the pudding and smiled. “mour!” Oh. My. GODS! “Ok sweetie.” I laughed and took another small spoon full. “Now you can take the whole spoon Lulu. You need to get the pudding off the spoon.” She dident seem to understand and I sighed. “here ya go.” I move the spoon over to her but this time she dident rip it out of my hands. She took it gently and I pulled it out the pudding gone. “Good girl!” I patted her head.
This went on until she was full with very little pudding left over. I suppose ponys have smaller stomachs when they are younger. I ate the rest and threw out the cup and I put the spoon on the small table I had to the right of the sofa. The sun was starting to go down as we sat there and watched cartoons. She seemed to like Courage the Cowardly Dog the most as well as Tom and Jarry. When it hit 9:00 I was beat. Lulu at some point had started to lean agents me trying to stay awake. “Alright Lulu time for bed.” She looked up at me with tired eyes. “B-e-d?” I nodded about to start crying form how cute she was, “Yup. Come on.” I got up and turned off the TV. She jumped down from the couch and followed me into the bedroom. “Up?” She gave me a look that made my heart tingle. “Sure.” I picked her up in a hug and sat down on the bed. “Ready for bed?” I looked at her. “bed!” She smiled at me. “Alright.” I leaned back and put my feet up then took the blanket and placed it over the both of us. “Goodnight Lulu.” I kissed her head (again avoiding the horn.). She looked at me with those huge teal eyes. “G-o-o-d-n-i-g-h-t?” I nodded with a smile as she yawned closing her eyes. I waited until I knew she was asleep then I myself went to sleep. Not having another dream with Nightmare Moon.
-----------on Monday!-----------
I was spazzing out like never before. “Argh what am I going to do!? I can’t just leave her here alone! Oh wait!” I took out my cell phone and called up my best friend. “Austin! I need you to come down to the tree house now!......I need you to watch someone for me and I know you don’t have school for a few more weeks!.....Just hurry like a speeding monkey on traffic day!” I hung up on him and waited. It dident take long before He opened the trap door. “Good your here!” He sat down on the couch. He was a bit shorter then me with blond hair and blue eyes.
“So who do you need me to watch.” He asked looking around.
“Lulu! come here please!” Lulu came in with a tired look. “Lulu this is Austin and he will look after you while im gone.” I smiled at her. She took one look at Austin and ran over to me.
“W-what is that thing?” Austin looked a bit surprised.
“This is Lulu, she is a pony.” I looked at him with a ‘don’t ask’ look witch he seemed to understand. “Lulu, say hi.” I crouched down and pulled her in front of me. She looked at him with fear filled eyes.
“H-hi....” She muttered. Austin dident look surprised anymore but instead full of D’AWW.
“Hello.” He smiled at her witch seemed to calm her down a bit. I sighed and set her down.
“Be nice to each other. I need to go.” I kissed Lulu goodbye and waved at Austin. “She’ll let you know when she’s hungry and thirsty. She likes chocolate pudding and water. Thats all I have right now but im getting more stuff when I come back. See ya!” I jumped down the trap door and bolted to school. School never lasted this long in my life! I guess when your wanting to go home it takes longer. I texted Austin at lunch asking how Lulu was doing. He explained to me she had a horn and wings then I told him i knew. Lulu was very shy towards Austin but he said he was getting threw to her. The bell rang and I told him I had to go. When the final bell wrong I ran as fast as I could back to the house.
I was glad to get there and see the place wasint on fire. I climbed the latter and opened the trap door. Austin and Lulu where sitting there watching cartoons, A empty pudding cup on the table.
Austin looked at me. “Oh hey. She dident drink the whole bottle of water and dident finish the pudding.” I laughed.
“Thats normal.” I got up and closed the door. “Hey Lulu! How was your day?” She finally noticed me and jumped over and into my arms.
“G-good!” I looked at her and patted her head.
“Oh really? Thats grate!” I saw Austin giving me and funny look. “As for you.” I turned and looked at him. “This is for you.” I handed him 5 bucks. “For babysitting.” I gave him a epic high-five.
“Thanks dude. Wait..... Dos this mean I have a job?” I nodded.
“If you want it.” He grinned and nodded. “Sweet. Now I have some applesauce and milk. That should be a bit better for her.” I looked at Lulu who was still cuddled up in my arms. “Are you hungry honey?” She looked up at me and shook her head. “Ok. Go watch cartoons.” I set her down and she bounced back over to the couch. I walked into my bedroom and put the applesauce and milk in the fridge and walked back out into the living room. Lulu by this time was able to get up on the couch and bed. I sat down in between Austin and Lulu, Lulu started to cuddle up to my side and I put my hand on her head and ran my finger threw her mane. We sat there a good 4 hours before Austin had to leave. It was now 6:30 and Lulu was hungry. “Alright sweety give me a minute.” I got up and walked into my bedroom and grabbed a cup of applesauce. “Ok Lulu I have something new I want you to start eating.” She looked at me and nodded slowly. I took a small spoon full and fed her some. She must have really liked it cus she finished the whole thing. “D-drink?” I smiled and got up. “Ok hold on.” I had gotten some sippy-cups for her instead of bottles, I dident want her to feel like a baby even tho she sorta was. I filled the small cuppy with milk and walked back into the living room. “Come here.” I sat down and waited for her to sit on my lap. “Here ya go Lulu.” I held the cup up so she could drink. She LOVED the stuff! She drank the whole thing and got a dissapointed look on her face when it was gone. “It was good hmm?” She nodded.
About 1 and a half hour(s) later we got ready for bed. “Good-night Lulu.” I kissed her head like I always do. She smiled at me with those adorable teal eyes then did something that made me cry manly tears. “Good-night daddy, I love you.” She kissed my cheek. “I-i love you to Lulu.” Good thing it was dark cus she dident see my tears. I sat there half the night thinking. ‘wow......she called me daddy! AND said she loved me! Oh I love life sooooooooo much!’ I was still crying when I fell asleep.
It was Thursday today and I was beat. I walked at a fast pace to get home so I could hang out with Austin and play with Lulu. She was starting to get a hold of her magic yesterday and I was going to teach her how to use it for writing and stuff. When I got home I heard Austin laughing at something, I could also hear Lulu laughing. I went up the latter and opened the door to see he was doing a hand stand and making funny faces at Lulu who was laughing like she was being tickled. “Having fun?” I laughed as he fell over.
“She is so easy to get laughing! Shes so cute!” He laughed getting up. I got up and shut the trap door.
“Here ya go.” I handed him five dollars and he nodded his thanks. Lulu was still laughing a bit when I picked her up. “Hey there Lulu! Having fun?” She nodded. “Thats good. Ok ready for some magic training?” She nodded franticly with a huge grin. “Alright.” I set he down on the couch and moved the table up and in front of her. I placed down a pen and a pice of paper. I wrote down A B C and D on the paper. “Ok Lulu now I want you to pick up this pen with your mind and write down these letters as best you can.” She nodded and closed her eyes pointing her horn at the pen. Her horn glowed lightly a nighttime color with little star sparkles.
“Cool...” Austin muttered as the pen started to flout.
“Now be carful Lulu, don’t use to much magic but don’t use to less ether.” She nodded a little as the pen started to scribble down the letters I wrote down not to long ago. When she finished the pen dropped and she was out of breath, I picked up the paper and looked at it. All the letters on her side where very poorly drawn. “Lulu you did grate!” I picked her up in a hug, she started to giggle a bit but then fell asleep in my arms.
“Wow it must take a lot out of you to do that.” Austin took a seat on the couch next to me.
“Poor baby pushed herself.” I sighed happily. “Im glad shes trying so hard tho. I need to get a book on the alphabet for her then teach her how to read it.” I laughed. “I feel like a teacher.”
Austin put his hand on my shoulder and smiled. “Your not a teacher Connor, your a father and you want whats best for her.” At his comment I smiled.
“Thanks dude.” I gave him a fist bump. he got up and stretched.
“I need to head out. It’s almost six.” I nodded and told him I would be home tomorrow due to the fact I need to teach her right away. “Alright, i’ll still come by tomorrow to hang.” I nodded and waved good-bye as he left.
“Lulu, get up.” I nudged her gently, don’t want her to be up all night. She woke up with the cutest yawn she ever made. “Come on, I think you deserve some pudding.” She looked at me with happy eyes.
“T-thank you daddy!” My heart exploded again. ‘I am never going to get use to her calling me that! But who cares!’ I smiled and set her down. I walked over to the fridge in my room and pulled out a pudding cup. I walked back into the living room and sat down. As I was opening it Lulu was climbing up onto the couch with all her little might. I almost d’awwed at the site.
“Ok Lulu.” She sat on my lap again as I fed here, I think by tomorrow she will be able to hold the spoon herself. I dident want to think about it too much. She loved the hell out of the pudding I tell ya! She finished the whole thing then licked her lips. “Was it good?”
“I-it was g-grate!” She cheered. This made me giggle. I start thinking about things. ‘Life was boring up to the point when I found little Lulu. Well im 14 so im not surprised but I needed something awesome to happen! In the end I got a daughter! Life is going to be awesome! So very awesome!’ My phone rang and inttruptid my thoughts. Lulu looked at me as I pulled it out of my pocket.
“Yo...... Oh hey mom! Ya im doing ok, sorry I havent come to visit you..... Oh your coming over? Awesome! can you bring some pasta salad? I want to feed Lulu something else.......Lulu is...well... I explain it when you get here. Remember the pasta! ok I love you too bye!” I closed my phone and looked at Lulu. “Ready to meet nana?” She gave me a puzzled look then nodded happily.
It took my mother 10 minutes to get here. “Connor! You here?” She called up as she began to climb.
“Ya! You got the Pasta right?” I called opening the trap door for her. “It’s in the car if you don’t mind getting it.” I nodded.
“But first I would like you to meet someone.” She gave me a confused look. “Lulu! Come here sweety!” The sound of hooves echoed as Lulu jumped off my bed and walked into the living room. “Mom this is my.....Daughter Luna, or as I call her Lulu.” Lulu walked over and hid behind my legs. “Come on sweetheart.”
My mother looked very very puzzled but not surprised or angry. She smiled warmly after a bit. “Hello baby girl.” She had the softest voice that could calm a raging bear down.
Lulu looked out form behind me still a bit shy. “H-hi.” She mumbled like she had when she first met Austin. I laughed lightly and picked her up.
“Its ok.” I walked over to mom. “Give nana a hug.” I encouraged her. She looked reluctant at first but went into my mothers arms.
“She’s so soft.... Hey baby girl.” My mom was grate with kids and the look made me want to hug the both of them.
“Lulu be a good girl for nana I have to run out and get something.” She nodded slowly as I jumped down the trap door earning a gasp form my mother. She calmed down as I ran out. The house was surrounded by a large forest but it was never hard to find the road cus the door faced it. It took a moment but I got to the car and took out the large white bowl. I ran back with the sweet smell of the pasta in my nose. When I got back a heard giggling coming for Lulu. I climbed up and into the house to see my mother and Lulu engaged in mortal tickle combat in witch Lulu was loosing. I laughed and set the bowl down on the table then sat down and watched until Lulu called for help.
“D-daddy! H-help!” It was funny watching her reach her hoof out to me then quickly taking it back to defend herself.
“Ok mom ease up. Besides we have PASAT to eat!” We all laughed as I went to go get smaller bowls. I came back with 3 bowls and two forks. “Ready to have some of daddy’s favorite food?” I asked Lulu with a pumped up voice.
She nodded with a huge grin. “Yes!” She cheered as I sat down. Good thing my mother put the big spoon in there or I would have had a bad time getting the bowls filled. i filled mine up to the top, my moms to the middle, and Lulu’s a bit father down then my moms. I set mine aside and gave my mother her’s. I took my fork and lanced a few noodles then held it up to Lulu.
“Here try this.” She nodded and took a bite. The look that was on her face will forever be in my head. The look she had was just so darn cute I nearly fainted. The look of pure awe was enough for me to know she loved this stuff to death. I lanced some more and fed it to her. “Wow Lulu this stuff must be amazing!” I looked at my mother who was laughing lightly. Lulu’s bowl was empty within minutes. She was full by then and was laying on my lap. I told my mom I was going to take tomorrow off to teach her some stuff. She agreed with me knowing how it was to be a single parent and all. She even offered to go get the books and stuff and help with the teaching. “Thanks mom.” I smiled and gave her a hug. I was closing in on 9:00 so my mom said her goodbyes and gave Lulu a hug and kiss before she left. “So do you like it when nana comes over?” Lulu nodded as we walked towards the bed. I sat down and offered to help her up but she shook her head and jumped up. I leaned back and got the blanket. She layed down on my chest again. I put the blanket over the both of us, I leaned up and kissed her on the head. “Good-night Lulu, I love you.” She kissed my cheek. “Good-night daddy, I love you too.”
It had been 2 weeks sines I found Lulu and thing where going wondefuly! She had learned the alphabet and was able to write and do thing with her magic. I brought her outside a few times to play and get some flying practice. She was doing well with that two seeing as how I knew nothing about flying. “Don’t go to high!” I called to her as she flew a ways up. She had grown a bit in the past 2 weeks, not by much but enough to be able to fly a bit. She loved flying a lot and I wasint going to stop her when she wanted to. Austin was sitting by the tree home eating a apple and cheering Lulu on.
“Go Lulu go!” We both cheered as she flew around the house at the speed of a slow moving car. She was laughing and loving it so much! She was getting all the cheering and stuff she loved. She landed next to me and I leaned down and patted her on the head. “You where grate!” Austin got up and walked over to us.
“You got that right! You where amazing Lulu!” She giggled and nuzzled my leg. I picked her up in a hug.
“It’s getting late. We need to get ready for bed and you need to head on home.” I looked at Austin. He nodded and was off. I walked over to the door and set Lulu down so I could open the door. We got inside, as I started climbing Lulu hovered up next to me and into the house when I opened the trap door. “Alright Lulu for a awesome day of flying we have pudding!” We both cheered as I got out two pudding cups. Lulu was on the couch already as I got into the living room. I sat down and opened the both of them, I let Lulu take her spoon with her magic and I held her cup. We both dug in and finished within seconds. “That was good!” I laughed and leaned back.
“Ya it was!” Lulu giggled and curled up next to me.
“Don’t get to comfy. We need to get to bed.” She nodded and jumped off the couch. I got up and followed her into the bedroom then got in bed. She jumped up and layed down on my chest as I got the blanket. “Good-night Lulu, I love you.” I kissed he head then she leaned down and kissed my cheek. “I love you too daddy.” I Got all warm and fuzzy inside again as she closed her eyes. I soon found myself asleep as well. I got a good 2 hours until I heard a ear-piercing scream right in front of me. I Shot up from my sleep and looked on the floor to see Lulu sitting there crying like she just got shot. “Lulu! What happened baby are you alright!?” I Jumped out of bed and checked over her like a mad man. I see everything on her was ok. “Lulu sweetheart whats wrong?” I got her in a hug.
“I-i-i was being c-chased i-i-in the dark b-by some big e-evil monster that said it w-was going to k-k-kill me!” She cryed in my shoulder. “I-I was so scared!”
“Shh shh shh shh. Its ok now nothing is going to hurt you while im here.” She kept crying then I got a idea, time for a song!
( here )
“Come stop your crying it will be alright.
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you form, all around you.
I will be here, don’t you cry.
For one so small, you seem so strong.
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm.
This bond between us, can’t be broken.
I will be here, Don’t you cry.”
She had calmed down but diden’t stop crying. I had to keep going. Remember Connor! Remember Tarzan!
“Cus you’ll be in my heart.
Yes you’ll be in my heart.
From this day on, now and forever more.
you’ll be in my heart.
no matter what they say.
you’ll be here in my heart, always.”
She had stopped crying now, witch was good. I Picked her up and kept humming the tune as I got back into bed. I set her beside me and wrapped her in a hug as I cover us with the blanket. She still looked scared but was able to go to sleep. I stayed up that whole night keeping a eye on her. I was going to call my mom tomorrow and ask her to come over and tell her I wasint going to school. But this had shocked me, Lulu had her first nightmare every sines I found her. I was hoping this wouldent have happened until she was a bit older. I suppose it couldent have been avoided for long, but it was still hard to deal with. I still freaked out witch I suppose comes to parents a lot. ‘ I need to calm down...’ I thought to myself as the sun started coming up. I knew my mom would be up by now so I reached over to the bed-side table and got my cell-phone. ‘Mom, I need you to come over for a bit, I will not be going to school today cus Lulu had her first nightmare. Austin will be coming over as well thinking I would be at school. See you when you get here.’ I closed my phone and put it back on the table. After about 30 minutes of the text Austin showed up and Lulu woke up shivering.
“What happened dude?” He saw Lulu shivering. I explained everything about what happened. “Harsh...Want me to stick around Lulu?” She nodded at him as he sat down and put his arm around her. I heard another knock at the door and up came my mother with some of my cloths.
“I had a feeling you would need some of these.” She smiled and handed them to me. She walked over and sat on the other side of Lulu who had smiled once she saw her. “Daddy tells me you had a rough night. Come to nana and tell her about it.” and she did just that. She had started crying half way threw but stopped as soon as I walked back into the room. Mom gave me a look of pure love then let go of Lulu. “Go play with Austin for a minute.” She nodded and went over to Austin. Mom got up and walked over to me. “Connor, you saw what happened right there dident you?” I nodded. “You have every single bit of trust her little body has in it. She was crying telling me about that horrible little dream I almost started. Once you stepped in she stopped right there. Only the best parents can do something like that without trying.” She gave me a big hug. “I knew you would grow up to be a loving parent and a wonderful person. You put trust in the right people like Austin and I. You knew we would never let you down so we dident.” I was starting to tear up at this point. “Your a good kid and a even better parent then I was. I hope you never let her go...” I started crying manly tears (That makes me feel better saying they are manly) and hugged her.
“You where never a bad parent.” I sobbed a bit then started to calm down. I cleared my eyes and we walked back into the living room to see Austin making funny faces that made Lulu laugh. I found this a adorable sight. I went and sat down with them. Lulu had stopped looking at him and curled up next to me. “Your adorable you know that?” I rubbed her head and looked over at the TV then remembered. “Hey Austin can you turn that on?” He nodded and turned it on. Mom sat down with us as we all watched TV that day.
It had been a month later when Lulu had another nightmare. I was asleep with he laying on my chest like always when she shot and whimpered. “D-daddy?” She whispered. I looked up at her, her eyes where filling with tears. “.....Come here baby.” I wrapped my arms around her and rolled to one side so she was laying on the bed and I was facing her. I hated seeing her like this, I never wanted this to happen. She was the sweetest little girl in the world and she had horrible nightmares, it waisnt right. I sat there thinking half of the night and finally got some sleep. I need to let her know that she has a huge family full of people that will love and protect her.
“Connor? Your going to be late for school.” Austin woke me up poking my shoulder lightly.
“Im not going today. Lulu had another nightmare. Austin, I am going to need to call up a few people and have them introduced to Lulu.” He looked at me with a puzzled look but shrugged.
“Whatever man.” He walked into the living room and sat down. I got up slowly and grabbed my phone. I posted on my facebook that I was holding a party to welcome a new family member and that everyone coming should bring a dish. Almost instantly people started saying they would be coming next week for the party. I need to get things ready. I got up slowly so I wouldent wake up Lulu. I spent the day with my mother shopping for random party stuff. It wouldent be Pinkie party worthy but it would work. I got home with my mom helping me carry the stuff out onto the lawn.
“I’ll set everything up when the party starts.” I told mom. “Head on up and talk with Lulu about her dream. I need to think a moment.” She stared at me for a long time before giving me a hug.
“You grew up so fast, I never see the hyper active boy I raised anymore....” She had started crying. I put my arms around her in a hug and started to tear up.
“I guess......I just grew out of it.... even tho im still 14.” We both laughed. She let go and went up into the house. I sat there for gods know how long just thinking. Thinking about something I never wanted to think about in my life time....... How long would it be before......They come and take her from me.... I cryed, I just sat there and cryed for the longest time, I cryed until I had no more tears. ‘I-I wont let them if it comes down to that. I will ask her, “Lulu.....Do you want to go with them?” If she says no then she wont but.....’ I shed one last tear then stopped thinking about it. I got up and walked into the house seeing Lulu had been crying again but stopped before I got in. I smiled at her and rubbed her head. Next week was going to be the longest week of my life...
The guests had started arriving soon after I had set everything up. Everyone who I had compleat trust in was there and that set my heart at ease. I walked into the house and saw Austin reading Lulu a story. “We’ll wait half a hour before we show.” Austin nodded then went back to reading her the story. I saw my mom start to mingle in the crowd catching up with them and all that. After 10 minutes the rest of the guests had sown up. “20 minutes... Get ready Austin.” Austin nodded and told Lulu the plan. She was shivering from fear and wonder. She must be thinking about meeting all those new people that where her family. I went down and talked with everyone, they all wanted to know when they would get to meet the new family member. “!0 minutes.” I called out so everyone heard me.
10 minutes later and walked over to the front of the crowd. “Hello everyone! Thanks for coming! Im glad so meany of the family showed up to greet our newest member! She will be down shortly but first I would like to tell you that she may not be what you expect at first but really she is the sweetest little girl you will ever see in your lives.” Some of them looked confused but they seemed to understand. I turned to the house and kocked on the door three times. The door started to slowly open. “Now everyone I would like you to meet my daughter, Luna.” When i finished the door was open showing Lulu standing in front of Austin with a look of horror on her face. Everyone had a look of shock on their faces. “Come on honey.” I called softly to Lulu. “Say hi to everyone.” She looked at me with huge scared eyes. I Got down on one knee and gave her a hug. She calmed down tons and turned to everyone.
“H-hello,” Her voice shook with fear. “M-my name i-is Luna. B-but you c-can call m-me Lulu.” Any and all shock had dissapered behind faces of compleat adorableness.
“Aw look at her! she’s so cute!”
“I know! Shes Connor’s kid?”
“Thats what he said.”
“But shes a horse! I don’t see how that works...”
Lulu was starting to shack again. I picked her up and nuzzled her cheek. “Don’t worry Lulu, no one is going to hurt you.” The crowd let out a big ‘AWWW’ when she nuzzled me back. I set her down and she walked slowly towards the crowd still shivering. A tall old guy got down on one knee and smiled at her.
“Hey there Lulu! My name is Bobby Smith! But you can call me uncle Bobby.” He held out his hand and she put her little hoof in it, he shook it up and down slowly then let go. A younger woman I knew as Amie walked up to her next.
“Hi there Luna! Im Amie! Its nice to meet you.” She also shook Lulu’s hoof. Eventually she met everyone who had come and was having a blast! Uncle Bobby even gave her a ride on his shoulder witch she loved! I couldent get over how much fun she was having! It wasint until 11:30 she finally crashed and everyone was laughing.
“Austin could you take her to bed for me?” Austin nodded and picked her up then brought her inside. I turned to everyone who had a LOT of love in there eyes. “I am sorry everyone but I must be off. I hope you enjoy the rest of your night!” I turned and entered the house. Austin was sitting on the couch watching TV. Lulu was in bed sleeping like a rock. “Thanks of taking her back up here.” He nodded at me distracted by the TV. I walked over to the bed a layed down next to Lulu. “Good-night Lulu.” I kissed her head. “I love you.” That was getting repetitive but i dident care, I meant every word of it.
A year later I had been preparing for something very important, It had been almost one year after I found Lulu and I was going to make it awesome! Austin had been coming over everyday and I get surprise visits from family every now and then. Good thing I was 15 I had gotten a minor job and some income. I was able to buy stuff for the party slowly over some time. I had a bunch of balloons with different colors and a huge cake! I had Austin buy her a watch so she could tell time and when to go to bed if I forget to tell her. She was with my mom right now at her house. I was surprised how fast Lulu answered my mom about going, she looked so excited! So she went on the trip with my mother to her house while I spent most of the day planing. “So thats a no for a pony ride?” Austin got a death glare from me as I went back to explaining things about the party.
‘Boy I wish Pinkie was here, she could have this place done right!’ I thought to myself as I walked out of the house. The sun was high in the sky and the air surprisingly clean. I heard the rush of wind and knew all to well what was going to happen.
“Daddy!” I was tackled by Lulu at almost top speed. It dident hurt too bad cus she was still a litl filly but it did its damage.
“Hey baby girl! How was Nana’s?” I smiled at her as she giggled and told me all about how she and mom had cooked cookies and she taught her how to right cursive. “Thats wonderful! Your going to have to show me later! Go up and play with Uncle Austin for a minute I’ll be right up.” She nodded and flew up into the house. My mother soon came out of the forest with a large smile.
“Hey sweety. I guess she already told you everything?” I nodded laughing. “She loves to learn things, I think we should get her a little library. She would just love it!” She smiled and gave me a hug.
“Thats a good idea.” I mumbled and turned to the house. “Come on let’s go.” I walked over and into the house with my mom to see Austin holding Lulu up above him running around the house. She was laughing like crazy and flapping her little wings almost picking Austin up! “Hey there Lulu calm your wings you might just start taking Uncle Austin for a ride.” She looked at me and tryed to fly over dragging Austin with her.
“Strong little mutchkin arn’t you?” He laughed and let her go, she zoomed over and into my arms. She started rambling about some toys she wanted and how she wanted her own bed.
“I want it to have stars and it has to be the same color as the sky!” We all laughed as she kept going. I set her down on the couch and stretched. “Tired daddy?” I nodded as my heart exploded again. I loved being called daddy by her. I sat down next to her and patted her head. She curled up next to me and put her head in my lap as we watched cartoons the rest of the day.
About a month later the party was held not to far from mine. All of the family had shown up, Uncle Bobby dressed up like a clown witch made me shudder. I diden’t like clowns but when Lulu saw her first clown she laughed the rest of the day. Lulu was out with my mother again as we got the rest of everything set up. The party was being held behind the house so when she came up to the house she wouldent see it. I stood in front of the house waiting until 5:00 when Lulu came out of the forest with my mom, she charged me with a laugh and a flood of words describing her day. “Hey Lulu I left something out back can you get it for daddy?” She nodded and walked out back to get surprised by everyone.
“SUPRISE!” Everyone yelled as they jumped out of their hiding places (Still don’t know how they did it.) and with endless life in their eyes yelled again. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUNA!” She looked at everyone with shock and surprise. I walked over to her and picked her up.
“Happy birthday baby girl!” I kissed her cheek and set her down. “Its your party! Go have fun!” She began to laugh lightly then burst out into the most adorable laugh she had, she hadent laughed like this sines her first bath.
The party lasted a half a hour when we started having cake. The cake was huge with pink frosting with a mix of flavors including chocolate. We also had ice cream and dark colored sliver-ware to look like the night and the same with the plates with stars on them. I could tell she was having the time of her life! She was riding on Uncle Bobby’s shoulder trying to honk his giant red nose. After another half hour I clapped my hands together.
“Alright everyone time for presents!” Everyone cheered and crowded around the table all the presents where on. I picked Lulu up and put her on my shoulder as I made my way up front. I sat down in a chair and put he on my lap. “Alright lets see, what one do you want to open first Lulu?” She looked around the colorful boxes then picked on with my name on it. “Alright.” I picked it up and put it on the ground in front of us. Everyone had pulled out a camera of some kind and took quick snap shots of her tearing threw the colorful red paper. She went wide eyed at the huge blanket with the night sky on it. “Look at this!” I pulled it up and spread it open so everyone could see. It had the big dipper and all the other star patterns on it, on the back and front had different patterns. I folded it up into a neat square and put it on the table.
That whole night we opened presents, she got a watch with a night time theme, a teddy bear (I love that thing its so funny) some books about things I sadly can’t remember. She got some toys she wanted and her own bed right next to mine, now I’ll tell you right now that thing was NOT easy to get up and into the house. I tucked her in and kissed her good-night then got in my bed. I turned sideways so I could watch her go to sleep. I find it hard to beleve I could go form being a hyper active 14 year old into a father. My life was perfect for the longest time after I found her.
About 4 years later I had a steady job and I had the house made bigger and not in a tree. I get home everyday at 4:00 to see Austin playing or talking with Lulu, she has gotten so big over the years. She was almost the same size as the Luna from the show and she had absolute control of her magic and was able to fly like a champ. She was 8 from what I can recall but still she grew so fast! I set down my pay and sit on the sofa with Lulu and Austin, they both smiled at me and continued their talk about video games and books. It was funny watching then argue half way threw, Lulu said books where better and Austin had said that games where better. I couldent help but laugh witch made them stop.
“Whats so funny daddy?” Lulu tilted her head at me as Austin began to crack up. I explained to her that some games where based off books and how some games could become movies is they where good enough. “So science can be a movie!?” I nodded then laughed at the face she made. I grabbed the remote and turned on bill-ni the science guy who was explaining things about volcanos then doing a demonstration with a fake one, Lulu watched in amazement as the small volcano ‘erupted’ with a red liquid. “Is that lava!?” I lost it, and so did Austin. We both where rolling on the ground laughing till ower ribs hurt. “What? He could get burned!” There we go again for another 10 minutes. “So im guessing its all fake?” I clapped and nodded not being able to talk. “Ah. Can we do it?” She gave me those eyes she gives when she wants to do something.
“Y-ya sure. I-i’ll get the stuff tomorrow.” She cheered happily hovering a bit.
The next day I bought a volcano module and the other stuff to make it ‘erupt’. I walked into the house with all the stuff and set them down on the counter. “Alright let’s see...” I poored some stuff in then looked over at Lulu who was hovering behind me the whole time with a excited look on her face. “Alright, ready?” She nodded and I held out the viniger to her, she took it with her magic and pored it in a bit fast. Well she got a ‘eruption’ alright, and I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the kitchen. It was funny I have to say, couldent help being a little mad but still funny. She was hiding in her room when I went to look for her. “Lulu? Sweetheart come on out im not mad.” The door remained closed but her soft little voice called out.
“Y-your not?” I shook my head still laughing a bit
“Well a little but im more to blame then you, I should have told you not to poor it so fast or add to much. Im sorry.” The door opened slowly and she looked at me with those large teal eyes, it looked like she had been crying. “Come here.” I got down on one knee and held open my arms. She rushed over and into them and I gave her a big hug. “Come on, its time for bed.” I picked her up (Still not a problem ha) and brought her into her room. The top was painted to look like the night sky and the walls had random paintings of the forest in different places like the tundra, desert, rain forest, and normal forest. When I was having this put in I told her ‘There are different places with different people that are all different, but one thing we all share and love is ower night sky.’. She looked so happy when I said that. Not she had the same blanket I bought her 4 years ago, she loved that thing. Her pillow looked at same. The thing about the stars up on the ceiling was that they glowed when the lights went out. She loved that too, so every time she went to bed she could look at the stars.
“Good-night Lulu, I love you.” I kissed her on the cheek and she did the same.
“Good-night daddy, I love you too.”
6 years later what I feared all those years ago was coming true. The sun was half way down over the horizon but just stopped there. “What the?” I looked out the window at the still sun. I flicked on the news to see everyone was in a panic.
“Eye witness reports say that the sun had just stopped there in the sky. This had scientists baffled, they say the earth has stopped moving but a lot of people are saying its the sun we now go to rick out on the-” I turned of the TV and sat down. I knew how to fix this.......I dident want to tho.
“Lulu. Come here please.” Lulu had walked into the living room where I was sitting. She was 14 now and the size of her show form. “Honey I want you to come outside with me for a moment.” She nodded as I stood and walked outside. We both sat there for a minute until I pointed at the sun. “I want you to push the sun down with your magic and rise the moon with it too. We can’t just leave the world without the night.” She looked at me as I smiled warmly.
“Ok dad.” She looked at the sun and closed her eyes pointing her horn at it. Her horn glowed with that night slow and the sun started slowly sinking until it dissapered below the horizon. I clapped as she turned around with her horn glowing again. “I-i cant! The moon wont come up!” I Placed my hand on her shoulder and smiled.
“You can do it Lulu.” She stared at me a while then nodded. She walked out into the field and flapped her wings. She flew up slightly as if she was carrying something heavy, she flew higher and higher as the moon rose with her. She finally stopped and fell, I ran over and caught her. She still wasint that heavy form me, I set her down on the grass and looked up. “No stars?” I looked at her as she kept panting.
“I-I cant do it.” I shook my head and grabbed her horn.
“Now try.” She looked at me then at the sky, her horn glowed and set a shock threw my hand and into my arm. The stars slowly started appearing but she stopped half way threw. I stood up and looked at her. She was so tired I think she fell asleep, I looked up at the stars that where already there and then at my hand. Like I hoped it was still glowing witch meant I could try something, I lifted my hand up and pushed with all my might. The electricity was flowing out of my arm and into the sky, the rest of the stars had appeared but left me out of breath. I turned to Lulu and picked her up. “Come on, time for bed.” I whispered as I brought her into the house. I walked down the hall and into her room. It was still that same as I left it 6 years, the stars where all glowing and the landscapes where the same as was the blanket and pillow. I set her down in her bed and kissed her good-night. I walked back out into the living room and sat down, waiting. I sat there and waited for gods knows how long, the sun was slowly rising over the horizon when my eyes started feeling heavy. I called into work and told them I wasint coming in today. I waited even longer then when someone knocked on the door. I walked over and opened it to see my mom with a worried look. Now remember it has been a few years and she wasint as young as she once was (Get it?).
“Connor, I know what happened. You had Lulu fix everything right?” I nodded.
“I finished the stars. It hurt...” I clutched my left arm and she gave me a hug.
“You did the right thing Connor.” I hugged her back and let her inside. Lulu was still asleep as we talked.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
.....That was the worse knock I have heard but I knew what it meant. I walked over to the door and put my ear to it. “Who is it?” I called.
“Excuse me sir but may we come in? It is a matter of grate importance.” The female voice I knew all to well called back.
“Hold on Tia.” I heard a few shocked gasps behind the door. I smiled a bit then lost it when I opened it to see the sun goddess in all her glory. “Let’s me guess, you followed a power source here?” She still had that shocked look on her face but nodded. “Alright come on in, Lulu is sleeping so be. quiet.” I almost growled at them. I stepped out of the way as she walked in, she was followed by Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and finally Fluttershy who hurried in. They all took a seat or layed down somewhere. My mom looked at all of them not in shock but confusion.
“Um Connor who are all of these pony’s?” She looked at me as I entered.
“These are the cast from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.” She gasped, A while ago I had told her, Lulu, and Austin about it. “I have a pretty good idea of why they are here.” I looked around the room and saw Dash looked mad.
“Hey don’t talk about us like were not here!” She hovered over and into my face.
“Rainbow Dash please calm down.” Celestia calmed Dash down. “Now um...” She looked at me.
“Connor Cauchy.” I raised a eyebrow at her.
“Connor, yes. Now im curios on how you found my sister.” I sighed happily at the memory.
“Best day of my life I’ll tell ya.” She looked at me surprised. “It was one of those boring days at school I was recovering from walking home the long way where I kicked a rock into a near by bush and heard this little yelp, It was adorable and scared me almost out of my wits,” That got a giggle out of them. “So I try and check to see what it was that made that sound but it was too dark so I ran for home and grabbed the flashlight.” I looked over at my mom who smiled. “I went back to see it was my little Lulu all scared and hiding.” Tia looked at me weird. “So I slowly gained her trust and took her to.....well here.” I looked around. “It was different back then tho. Anyway I set her down on the couch and turned on some cartoons.” They gave me confused looks and I giggled. “After a bit I put her to bed. It was cute when she woke up and climbed onto my chest.” Tia gave me a look. “She was a baby when I found her.” Another round of *gasp*. “The next day I gave her a bath and fed her. She really likes chocolate, by the way. Anyway I called up my friend Austin to babysit her while I was at school and stuff. He dident mind much. Now I went and got some things that where a bit healthier for her,” I explained everything, absolutely everything, every little detail I could remember (so ya EVERYTHING!). The nightmare part made me tear up a bit but I recovered before I lost it. Then there was the part where I introduced her to the whole family and how they accepted her, I cryed a bit there. The memory’s where the things I hate and love. Being able to remember all of that is what I loved and knowing it will never happen again.
After a long time I finished. “Mom go see if Lulu is awake.” She nodded and got up to check when Lulu walked into the living room. It took her a moment to notice all the other ponys.
“D-daddy? Whats going on?” When the word ‘Daddy’ Was said I got another round of gasps, the loudest coming from Tia.
“Luna? Dear sister what did you say?” She looked at her with almost as much love as me.
“I I asked dad what was going on. I thought all of you where a TV show.” Another couple of gasps. Man Im surprised they havent passed out form lack of oxygen.
“Lulu come over here please and have a seat.” I sat down and she rushed over and sat close to me. I started explaining to them she must have no memory of her world and has all new ones of this world. “Thats about it. Now I know what you going to say but first.” I was tearing up bad. I looked over and Lulu and took a deep breath. “Lulu, im going to ask you something, now what ever you say during this question will depend on how this ends. Do you want to go with them?” I gave her a look of love. She was thinking so intently I thought I saw her horn spark.
“I-I don’t want to. But I-I have to.” I nodded now crying with the vengeance. I grabbed her in a hug, I never wanted to let go but I did and I stood. I walked over to Tia.
“You know what?” She looked at me confused. “If Lulu is my daughter then......You are too.” I got her in a surprise hug. Oh boy another round of gasps. “I love you both with a fiery passion and I don’t want to see neither of you leave. I don’t know who your real parents are but have one now. I will always be here for you if you ever need me so if something is wrong you don’t ever think twice about coming here to talk to me. I will always love you both for the rest of my days and will continue to love you threw the afterlife.” I felt tears on my shoulder. “Just please for me take good care of yourself’s, and watch over each other and or family’s” Lulu at some point joined the hug. “I will love and miss you and I hope you never forget me.” I looked up to see both of them crying, Even the others where crying, and the same thing with my mom. She walked over and joined the hug. I kissed both Lulu and Tia on the cheeks. “Be good girls for daddy, and don’t reck anything.” I giggled a bit still crying. I finally let go, Tia looked like she just saw the saddest movie in the world as she hugged her sister.
“W-we.......Will never forget you.” Her horn glowed and in a flash of light, they where gone. I fell back in the chair and cryed out loud, I never wanted this to happen but I knew it would. I dont regret it one bit, Picking Lulu up off the street and taking care of her. Rasing her to who she was, then letting her go. I felt I had lived the parents dream. I smiled a bit in my god like crying. I felt happy that she would be where she belonged. I just hope I get to see them both again, some day...
I put down the pen and wiped my eyes. “There.....Now I will always be able to remember...” I Was still crying when I got up. It had been 20 years ago this had all happened, and it still made me cry.
Live in the now and not the past or future, for you will miss whats happening right now. I know we will all one day have to let go of what we love most, but live while you have it and not when you have to let go, because it will always be in you heart and never leave.
