Nightmare's Parallel

Chapter 7: Family Reunion

Brock had woke up early the next morning and started on breakfast. he was making pancakes for him and his bride. as he placed the food onto two plates he went to wash off his hands and the kitchen utensils he used to cook with. when he had washed the pan it shined, showing his reflection. Brock gasped and almost dropped the pan at what he saw. his cloths were brown and he had normal colored eyes and bluish colored hair. and what's more, he had no wings, just a horn. he dropped the pan and sprinted to his room to look for Silver Star. when he opened the door she was there and he ran over to her and shook her awake. she didn't wake up. he kept screaming her name but she wouldn't wake up. he rolled her over and felt her pulse. his eyes narrowed and his heart stopped. there was no pulse...... he dropped her hand and stepped back and fell and started crying. he looked out the window and all he could see was storm clouds. he closed his eyes and cried. when suddenly he heard a voice. "Brock? Broooock?" the voice said all to familiar. "S-S-Silver Star?" he said shakily. "wake up..... wake up Brock... it's time to wake uuuup.." brock shot up in his bed sweating and screamed. "what's wrong Brock?!" Silver asked. "oh...oh thank Celestia it was all just a dream......" Brock said panting. "what happened? i had a dream i was a normal unicorn like i used to be and you wouldn't wake up. i checked your pulse and there wasn't one. so i started crying and then i heard your voice. and then i woke up." Brock explained. " wow it must have been horrible for you. oh yes it was. if it had been real i don't know how i would have survived without you. ooh Brock, that means so much to me." Silver said as she hugged Brock. "thankfully it was only a dream, and thankfully your alright." he said returning the hug. they ate breakfast and left together and walked into town. Brock stopped as he saw Celestia walking toward them while talking to Rarity. "Princess Celestia please have faith in me i know where I'm going. oh hello Brock, hello Silver. Greetings Celestia and Rarity." the two of them replied in sync with each other. "so what brings you two out this way? Rarity was leading me to your house so i could inform you of something. oh? and what would this news be? i have commissioned that a house be built in ponyville so that you may live in town with everyone else and its big enough for the both of you. oh, well thank you Celestia you are kind as always. My pleasure Brock anything to help out my closest friend's son." Celestia said and smiled. "wait did you say... closest friend's son?" brock asked calmly. "yes i did why? you...... knew my father? why of course i did he was my court advisor!" celestia said proudly. "but how did you know him? what do you mean Brock? well, i never met my father, my mother told me he had died before i was born and i never met him. well then i guess Silver and i do have something in common after all. and what would that be?" Silver asked. "we both gave our advisors immortality!"Celestia said. "wait......y-you mean my father is.... alive? of course i do in fact a few weeks after the nightmare moon incident he retired from his job to go work in the bank in canterlot. HE'S THE BANKER IN CANTERLOT?!" Brock nearly screamed. "yes he is would you like to meet him?" this sent Brock to tears and he shook his head yes. and within seconds they had all warped to the entrance of the bank. "well here we are. shall we go inside? allow me." Brock said as he held the door open for the three ladies. he walked in behind them and closed the door. he had just waved a customer goodbye when he noticed who was facing him. "P-PRINCESS CELESTIA?!" he yelled and bowed. "what are you doing here? i just came to let someone say hello to you jack, and they've wanted to meet you for a very VERY long time. how long exactly? that doesn't matter. ok where are they?" Jack asked and brock stepped forward and looked at him. "and who might you be young man? it's been a long time....... dad. what? wait, i don't know who you are why did you just call me dad? because im your son." Brock whispered a few words to himself and turned into a unicorn with bluish hair and a Brownish colored suit. the banker gasped. "s-son is it really you?! yeah dad it's me. b-but how are you here, how are you still alive? the same way you are dad. but i got my blessing from nightmare moon, who i would also like you to meet. Silver Star this is my dad, dad this is my fiance." Brock's father stood dumbstruck as Brock turned back into and alicorn. "s-s-son your getting married? yes in a week and i would personally like to invite you. the wedding is in six days. and there is no one i'd rather be married to than her" Silver giggled. "oh, you always know how to make me laugh. so dad will you be coming? o-of course i will! it would be an honor! great! oh, and one more thing. Celestia how would you like to be the usher for our wedding? i would be glad to accept Brock." she said with smile. "oh Celestia kind as always." they all laughed and then Brock went home to get everything moved out of the house. " so Brock, what do you plan to do when you get a job? oh i don't know i was going to ask Celestia about that when we got everything move into the new house, you know to see what jobs there were that were open." Brock replied calmly. they continued to pack everything. brock and Silver had both gotten dressed in their armor outfit's. they could have been twins for all anypony knew. Brock had his swords a his sides in case anything happened. he was packing the stuff on his desk when he came across the book he'd received from Nightmare a few days before. he placed it in his saddlebags and finished packing everything. and a few hours later after carrying everything to the new house everything was unpacked and placed where it should be. the swords above the fireplace, books on shelves, armor on mannequin's, cloths in dressers, and decorations where they needed to be. the day was over and Silver and Brock were both worn out from the move. they got into bed side by side and lay there wide awake. "good night brock. good night Silver."
