What happened to you guys?

7 years later...

It was a snow day in Canterlot, as the winter day went on, and 4 foals decided to play outside in the Canterlot royal garden today! One foal,  had a pink mane and tail, with pure white skin. The Alicorn Princess, Celestia was waiting for her brothers, Discord and Sombra, to arrive. The first of them to arrive, was Sombra, the tall dark grey coated, and black mane and tail, colt was wearing all black heavy clothing for the day.

Discord finally arrived outside, wearing nothing but black pants and a long sleeved black shirt! Once Discord joined his brother and sister, he said "OK, I've got a game for us!" looking at his siblings with a grin on his face. "Not again Discord!" Celestia said, looking worried "Your games got one of us hurt or in trouble yesterday! Can't we just do something more peaceful than one of your games?" Celestia asked, worried about the consequences. "Come on Tia!" Discord said "We rarely got to play outside, so why can't we play one of my games today when it snows!?" Discord asked, wearing a slightly annoyed face to convince her sister.

Celestia sighed, then said to her brother "OK, we'll play one of your games today!" and after that, Discord jumped up and down while laughing, his feet making some small prints in the snow, while his hands waved in the air, and his wings trying to hold him up, while his tail also shook around a bit, obviously Discord's choice. "OK!" Discord began "Today's game is capture the flag!" Sombra looked confused at this "Why that boring old game, brother?" he asked, his long black mane and tail waving in the wind that flew by them.

"Because Sombwa," Discord said, giving Sombra baby talk "this is MY version of the game!" Discord continued, using his magic to create a map of the royal garden "Now, the objective is: 'Get the purple flag!' Who ever can get it first, and bring it back to their room and plant it in their bathroom, wins!" Discord explained "Ready!"

"Wait Discord, where's the purple flag?!" Sombra asked.

"Set!"  Discord continued, ignoring his brother's question.

"Discord, what does this have to do with having fun!?" Celestia asked, looking at her crazy brother.

"GOOOO!" Discord said, as he ran off towards no where, from Celestia's point of view at least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celestia walked around the royal garden, looking for the purple flag Discord talked about, thinking where he could've put it. "He knows where it the flag is, right?" Celestia asked herself, keeping her arms crossed to keep herself warm, the cold wind blowing against her, making sure the princess stayed cold. Celestia eventually found that the snow began to become knee deep on her "Oh man, I gotta find the flag!" Celestia continued to say to herself, looking around for the purple flag Discord promised.

Celestia continued to walk forward, but suddenly hit a pole that blocked path, and fell into the snow. "OW!" She said, as she fell into the snow, after hitting her head dead center into the pole. After Celestia got up and brushed the snow off of herself, she looked to see what blocked her path. "YEAAAAHHHH!" Celestia squealed,  as she was delighted to find a long awaited object. Celestia bumped into, and found the purple flag before Discord or Sombra. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe I won!" Celestia said, as she then remembered what else she had to do "wait, i gotta get this into my room!" Celestia then tried to pick up the flag, only to find it heavy, heavier then Discord would've told her about. "Come on!" She said, trying to motivate herself "I know what to do here!" Celestia then used her magic to teleport into the castle, only to find out where exactly she teleported.

"Celestia, sweetheart...." Queen Starlight began to ask "why are you in Mommy's closet holding a purple flag?"

Celestia stood still, very still, and all she could do was stay still and blush at the fact she was in her mother's closet. "I uh..... Me, Discord, and Sombra were playing capture the flag and......" Celestia got out "Once one of us had the flag, we had to teleport to our room and set it there...." Celestia continued, walking out of her mother's closet, trying not to take any of her mother's clothing along with her.

"Celestia," Queen Starlight began "will you play with your sister today out in the snow? You know this will be her first time playing outside, especially in snow, and she'd love to know that her sister played in the snow with her when she was a foal one day. Please, for Mommy?" Starlight asked, as she was kneeling down and placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders.

Celestia put the flag down, and said "OK mommy, I will!" then turned around and gave her mother a hug, one only a mother could feel love from. The love Celestia always gave to others was always so radiant, it was enough to bring even the saddest of foals to becoming extremely happy.

Celestia ran to her baby sisters room, where Luna was playing with some of her toys that were scattered about the room, and Celestia said to Luna "Come on Luna, we're gonna go play in the snow!"

Happy to see her older sister, Luna called Celestia what she had begun to call her since she could talk, and said "Tia! Snow?" as she put her toy down then hugged her sister, and tried to stand up.

"Come on, you'll love it!" Celestia said "First, we need to put some warm clothing on you! It's really cold outside." Celestia said, as she went to go get Luna's winter coat and some pants for her sister "Trust me, it's fun! It'd white, cold, and you can make a snow-stallion!"

Luna laughed at her sisters rant, and put on her heavy clothes to keep warm while outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Luna, you can do it!" Celestia cheered on, seeing her sister trying to make a snow ball.

Luna finally finished the snow ball, and looked around for a place to throw it at. Luna looked for a while, and decided to chuck it into the distance, and she flung the snow ball as hard as she could to the south end of the garden. The two sisters could hear the snowball hit somepony in the back of the head, and began to giggle like mad mares.

"HEY! WHO DID THAT?!" Sombra shouted, as he began to ran from where the snow ball had come from, which made Celestia and Luna realize who exactly they hit with the snow ball. Sombra ran fast, faster then he could ever imagine, and saw his two sisters laughing, then shouted at them "Which one of you threw that snowball at me?!" in a loud, angry tone.

Luna, scared for her life from her angry brother, started to tear up, then said "I'm sorry Sombry," as she began to refer Sombra as Sombry "I didn't mean too!" After this, Luna had begun to cry, and sat down in the snow.

Celestia hugged her sister, then said to Sombra "Why would you make our little sister cry like this?" while she caressed a hand through her sisters mane "why are you so mean to her?"

Sombra began to look at his Celestia, then said "You wanna know why I'm a jerk? Cause when me and Discord were at the orphanage, we were picked on by others, especially discord! So I stood up for him, and whenever another foal would make fun of him, I'd beat them up to get the message across to them, to stop messing with us!"

"Well what exactly happened!?" Celestia asked her angry brother, who looked like he was ready to shoot Celestia with a small beam of magic.

Sombra stood still for a while, then replied with "Discord one day had started playing with some of the other foals, but he didn't know what he was getting into.... He had ended up being hung from his hooves upside down from the second story railing inside the orphanage. I helped him back up, then I found the ponies who did that to him, and beat them up, because I made a vow that day, that I'd beat up anypony who'd be a jerk to my family, and Discord was my only family......"

Celestia was dumbfounded at she heard, then hugged her brother "I'm sorry..... I'm so sorry....." Celestia said, as she silently cried into her brother's shoulder.

"Kids! Come inside for some hot chocolate!" Queen Starlight said to he children "Discord's already inside, so you better hurry!" she joked, as she watched he two daughters and her other adopted son run inside from the cold weather that was behind them.
