Chapter 7: Brony Family Dinner

CLAYTON'S HOUSE

Everyone was getting everything set when Rainbow Dash and Clayton would come home.

"Oh! This is so exciting we get to have a family dinner party! Yay!" Pinkie Pie said.

She was in her human form. Clayton informed everybody that the bracelet worked and Jack immediately gave Pinkie her's. She wore a short sleeve pink shirt and short pink pants. Everypony was the same, they were in their human form thanks to Clayton call.

"Yep. I here ya Pinkie. This here will be one fun surprise." Applejack said.

She had on a cowboy hat, shorts, and a cowboy shirt and vest. Sam had found the get up from his mom's closet. Her mom was a cowboy for halloween and decided to give it to AJ to wear.

"Yes this will be so exciting." Twilight said.

She was in her human form, she looked like Iris from the star fire club.

"Oh I just can't wait to see the boys in there suits that I made. Oh I know that they will be simply smashing in them." Rarity said.

She had on a white shirt and skirt on that Corey provided.

"Y-yes they w-will look great in t-them." Fluttershy said.

Dillon was able to sneak a few clothes from his mom that she never wore to Fluttershy. She had on long tan pants, a white shirt, and a yellow scarf.

Clayton's parents were done with setting up the large table and food on the side. They already knew about the other boys ponies and were very alright with it since there son told them. As they put the last of the silverware down the five boys came from downstairs with suits on.

Rarity was the first to see them, "Oh my what a bunch of wonderful looking gentlemen."

Rarity fluttered her eyelashes at Corey who started to blush a bit. The boys walked up to there companions and bowed to the girls making them giggle a bit. They all heard the house phone go off and Fluttershy picked it up.

"H-hello" she answered as Dillon walked over to her.

"Who is it Fluttershy?" he asked, Fluttershy turned to everyone.

"It's a woman n-named Lucy." she said.

Clayton's father sighed and his mother looked at Fluttershy with worry.

"Oh my. Fluttershy Hun, could you pass me the phone please?" she said.

"Oh I'm sorry here you are." she said.

She gave her the phone and smiled at Fluttershy.

"It's alright honey." said.

Fluttershy walked over to Dillon and held his arm as she laid her head on his shoulder.

Twilight poked Max's arm as he turned to her, "Yes Twilight?"

"Who's Lucy?"

"Clayton's older sister."

"He has an older sister?"

"Yup."

Applejack interrupted "Well l'll be. Why didn't he tell us about her then?"

"You don't wanna know Applejack. Trust me on that." Dillon stuttered.

Jack was giving Pinkie a piggy back ride when she heard Dillon speak.

"Why? Is she a meanie or something?" she asked.

Sam spoke, "Worse then that Pinkie."

Twilight looked at him puzzled, "How so?"

Jack looked at her who did a crossing of his neck with his thumb, "You'll see if she shows up."

Clayton's mother hangs up the phone and looks at the group.

"I'm sorry everyone, but it looks like that our daughter, Lucy, is going to be bring her herself and her date over here as well." she said making the boys shutter.

As soon as she said that the sound of a chopper was heard being parked on the drive way. The noise was gone and then foot steps to the door were heard. As soon as the door was opened everyone yelled.

"SURPISE!!!"

Clayton, Rainbow Dash, and Luna jumped at the surprise.

Clayton and Rainbow smiled. Luna was still confused why there was even a surprise for her in the first place.

"Wow guys. I never knew that you would do this for us. Thanks." Rainbow said.

Everyone smiled, but Clayton's father saw Luna and started to speak, "Oh bud. Is that who I think that is?"

He pointing at Luna's moon crescent and his mother looked at the uninvited guest and started to squeal like a fan girl.

"Oh my god! It's Princess Luna! Oh this is so wonderful!" she shouted.

This made Luna blush in embarrassment. The group left there mouths hanging as they could not believe that Princess Luna was here. Rainbow and Clayton were on the floor laughing at there friends faces.

Luna walked up to the family and group.

"Hello. My name is Princess Luna, call me Luna. It is a pleasure to meet you all and it is also wonderful to see you again Twilight Sparkle." she said.

Twilight placed her jaw back into her mouth and did the same for Max.

"Princess Luna? How did? When did you? I mean how in the world?" This was all Twilight could muster.

Luna smiled and spoke "Please allow me to explain my story."

After she explained what happened, how she got here, how she was a attacked by Richard, and how Rainbow and Clayton saved her. She didn't mention her her small crush on Clayton in the process, everyone was happy for her and glad that she was safe.

A few minutes pass and everyone was talking among themselves. Rarity looked at the steps to see Clayton and Rainbow coming down the stairs. Clayton was wearing a blue suit (He patched up his bullet wound with medical tape underneath) and Rainbow was wearing a cyan strapless dress and thunderbolt earrings. Everyone smiled at the happy couple coming down the stairs as they sat down around the dinner table and started to enjoy themselves.

Everyone was enjoying themselves and having a great time. Rarity was talking to Clayton's mother about her fashion; while Dillon, Applejack, and Fluttershy were discussing about different animals. Corey, Max, and Twilight were talking Luna; Jack, Sam, and Pinkie were talking about parties, and Clayton and Rainbow were holding hands under the table and talking about the Wonderbolts.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and everyone stopped talking. Clayton's father got from his seat from the dinner table to answer the front door. He opened it and saw his daughter Lucy with her date around her arm.

He smiled at her and opened his arms.

"Lucy my dear. How are you Hun?" he said and she hugged him.

She smiled as they walked in towards the dinner table. As Clayton and Rainbow were looking into each others eyes when they saw the man.

Discord pointed at them, "Ah! I remember you two. I bumped into you today."

Clayton smiled at him and spoke, "Yeah that's right. How did you know were I-" he stopped talking.

He immediately looked over at his sister, got out of his chair, and glared at her as she glared at him.

"Lucy." he said.

"Clayton." she replied.

They walked up to each other with there arms crossed, and their head butted. Each other still glaring at each other while still in the head butt; they yelled at each other.

"Jackass!"

"Loser!"

"Whore!"

"Low life!"

"Stupid ugly bitch!"

"Worthless scum!"

"Lucifer!"

"Brat!"

They gritted there teeth at each other as everyone stared. They were mocking one another as they walked to the dinner table. Clayton returned to his seat at the end of the table and Lucy sat at the other end with discord on her right side.

As everyone went back to talking to each other again and Lucy was telling her parents about how great her company was going. She kept telling them about how much money that she was making, how powerful she had become when she became the Chief of the building. Her parents nodded at her and smiled when she was finished with her gloating. She looked around at the table and saw the others enjoying one another.

This made Lucy burn to the core as she hated seeing people not suffering and sad all the time, but happy and full of joy. Her parents took notice of this and her mother leaned over to her side and whispered into her ear.

"Lucy... Please don't make a scene in front of your little brother's friends. I don't want to see him upset. You remember what happened the last time you did this. When when he was seven on his birthday no less." she whispered.

How could she forget that, it was like one of her favorite memories as she remembered teasing her brother and making him cry. She smirked at the thought and didn't hear her mothers prayers. She noticed something that broke the final straw. Lucy saw Rainbow and her brother move there heads closer to each other for everyone to watch. They group had smiles on their faces except Discord who stuck his tongue out of his mouth and pointed at it.

Lucy stood up from her seat and slammed her hands on the table. This made the two love birds stop from kissing and made everyone look at her in shock and fear. Lucy was shouting at her brother.

"Are you really out of your damn mind!?" she yelled making Clayton look at her with an angry glare.

"What? What did I do?"

"Oh don't like you don't know! You were about to kiss her! Why would you kiss someone that you don't even know! Do you two even know each other!?"

Clayton stood up out of his seat and yelled back at her.

"That's none of your concern Lucifer!"

"I'm a member of this family! It is my concern!"

"No it's not! You just want to make other people sad and worthless about themselves all the damn time! You always do! You've been that way since we were kids!"

"So what! If I'm not happy then why should I be the one to go down alone and not take a few people with me!?"

"Because it's stupid!"

"No, because it's who I am!"

"That's the reason why you have no man in your life!"

"Oh fuck you! You don't have a woman in your life because of how you look! You always bring that fucking sword with you and wear those ugly sunglasses all the time because you think your so tough like that stupid Cyan pony on TV!"

Clayton tried to hold back a small tear hearing that.

"Take that back you slut!"

"Why should I! You'll never grow up in life! If you think that fucking ponies are real! I mean Godforsaken Clayton your fucking eighteen years old! Grow the fuck up!"

He started to shed tears.

"Shut up!"

"You know I'm right about this! Why do you think I got so successful huh!? I kicked all that shit to the curve and thought about how I'm gonna make it in life! Let me tell you! Your little ponies are not be able to get you anywhere in life! Let alone a girlfriend!"

Sam got up out of his seat and pointed at her.

"Just who the hay do you think you are Lucy!?" he said to her.

Lucy looked at him. She couldn't believe that his friends were trying to defend him, especially with his brother's stupid quote.

"Shut the fuck up! This a family conversation!" She snapped.

That was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The others got up from there seats and looked at her with angry looks.

"Hey! We are a part of this family as well!" Applejack said.

"That's right. You can't treat your younger sibling with that kind of disrespect!" Rarity said.

"Yeah! You big meanie!" Pinkie yelled.

"You leave Clayton alone.... I mean if you would please." Fluttershy said.

"You shouldn't make your brother feel bad about who he really is!" Twilight said.

"Yes. You should be ashamed of yourself for making him cry!" Luna said.

Rainbow dash glanced at Clayton then at Lucy and shouted across the table at her.

"Don't ever say mean things about him! He may not be as great as you! He is great in his own way and I like him for that!"

Lucy snarled at them, she glared at rainbow dash, "Just who are you to tell me what I can and can't do to my brother!?"

Rainbow dash then shot her a glare.

"Because I love him that's why!"

Lucy was shocked to hear the words come from her mouth. She has never heard anyone say that about her brother before or to her face. She looked at her brother who had his head looking down at the floor trying to hide his tears.

"You love that THING!?" Lucy said.

Clayton looked up at her, "I'm not a thing! Lucifer!"

She started to get angrier, "No your worse then that! Your a disgrace to this family! A virus to our Aunt! A disappointment to me! Why can't you act more like an eighteen year old! Why can't you get any good grades in your classes when you were in community collage! Why can't you get a job! Why can't you quit wasting your life sitting around on your ass! Why can't you stop hanging out with these poor people and get some real friends! Why can't you do anything right for once! Why can't you be more like me!"

Hearing all of this come from his sisters lips hit him harder than anything else in his life. He knew his sister was real bitch like his aunt, but he never thought that she would finally admit it. Admitting that she always wanted her own brother to be just like her so she would accept him in her eyes.

She continued, "For years people have been asking me what my family is like! I tell them that my parents are wonderful! I tell them that they work hard in life and that they are very rich and have retired. They are enjoying there lives! I never tell them that I have a younger brother! I mean why would they want to hear about him for! All he does is act like a kid and watch my little pony all the time! Nobody has time to hear that! Why would they want to!? Your just a waste of time Clayton!"

This made Clayton mad and very upset. He tried to hold back his tears, but he couldn't anymore. His water gates opened and streams of tears were sliding down his cheek. His friends all turned to him with worried looks on there faces as Luna placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Clayton?" she said.

Clayton looked at Lucy who had an uninterested look on her face. Clayton lost this argument, it burned thorugh his mind and tried mustered up his feelings, but it was useless.

Clayton shouted at her, "Just who the hay do you think you are!"

Clayton ran upstairs crying as Rainbow ran after him. Everyone glared at Lucy with angry looks, especially her father.

"Lucy! How dare you speak about your brother like that in front of his friends!" He shouted.

This made Lucy look at her father with her face still unchanged, "Father it's true. He is a disappointment to all of us. He failed in school and now he has to wait for two years to get back in school."

Her mother wasn't having any of this, she came up to her and slapped her hard across her face.

Lucy looked at her mother who was enraged, "He may not be the normal brother that you wanted, but he is your baby brother! You are his older sister! You should be an example for him! Not his enemy! He sometimes may not see eye to eye with you sometimes, but he loves and cares about you! Look at what have you only done! You only put him down again and again! You only remind him of his failures in life! We love Clayton no matter what! The only person that I think that is a disappointment in this family is YOU!"

This made Lucy twitch, she was the disappointment in the family, the one that marveled over her brother and made him feel bad about himself. She could only look away from her parents in shame as she walked over to the door; Discord got up and followed her.

She opened the door she heard her father, "AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE TO YOUR BROTHER!"

She turned and nodded at her father, but he nodded at her with an angry and disappointed look on his face. When they all heard the front door close, Clayton's mother and father looked to the stairs worried about there son.

CLAYTON'S ROOM

Clayton was sitting in his dark room on his bed with his head held down. He kept hearing his sisters words repeat inside of his head over and over again, but he shook his head and got up as he then took off his blue suit. He changed into his street clothes and grabbed his Katana and looked at his window. When he walked over to it, he opened it up, jumped out and slid down the water pipe next to his window. As he landed onto his feet and walked over to his chopper, but was stopped when he saw Lucy walking towards him.

He glared at her as she stared at him with a sad look on her face something that he had never seen in a long time.

"C-Clayton" Lucy said to him, he didn't respond.

"Please Clayton hear me out. I'm... I'm... I'm sorry for what I did. I had no right to do that to you in front of everyone. Can you forgive me?" she said as she held out her hand to him.

Discord saw this while inside her car and felt strange looking at this scene.

"What is this feeling inside of me? Am I really feeling sorry for the boy? I don't even know him that well and I feel bad for him?" Discord said to himself as he kept watching the two outside of the car.

Lucy still held out her hand to her brother, as he just stared at her glaring still. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small stuffed toy. It was a white Alicorn with a British flag as a cutie mark, and wearing a red coat, on the coat were some words saying "To my baby brother from your older sister".

Lucy's eyes widened when he showed it to her, it was the toy that she had hand made for him when he was a baby and when she was still into My Little Pony. He placed the doll into her hand as he revved up his chopper, he looked at her with an upset look.

"Sorry.... I'm not your little baby brother anymore." he said as he drove off the driveway and out of the area.

Lucy could only see her brother drive off into the grey night and looked down at the toy that she had made him a long time ago. She held the doll close to her body and silently shed small tears.

GOVERNMENT HQ- basement

The three Alicorns Black Haze, Vanish, and Night Shadow all watched from the big screen on what took place. Night shadow smiled evilly.

"Well now. It looks like discord led us to a big discovery. To think that the Princess of the moon and the Elements of Harmony are in this world with us." he said as he spun his hoof in the air.

Black Haze raised an eyebrow at the screen as he then used his magic from his horn to zoom in on Luna.

"To top it all off she has a crush on this human as well." he chuckled darkly.

He turned to Vanish who was looking at Clayton, he was driving into the forest on his chopper on the right side of the screen.

Night shadow turned to him, "Vanish?"

Vanish looked up at night shadow, "Yes?"

Night shadow smiled at him, "He is all yours. You have my permission to take him down."

Vanish smiled as he changed into his human form, but with different clothes on. He was now wearing a red tank top, Gothic black baggy pants, and a pair of blue sunglasses as well.

He bowed to Night Shadow as he teleported out of the basement and as soon as he left, Black Haze looked at night shadow.

"You think he stands a chance?"

Night shadow was looking at Princess Luna on the screen with a grin.

"We only need Vanish to distract him and the others from Princess Luna so that we may collect our prize." He zoomed in on Discord and glared at him.

"We need her if we are to control this planet with an iron hoof! Hehehehehahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!"
