To Believe In Heroes

                                                                                      POV: Jack

"Today is the day" I thought in my head. I have been preparing for this day my entire life I was finally leaving the castle, My mother Princess Luna as everybody addressed her told me one day when she thought I was prepared to go out and handle the world on my own she would let me know and she just told earlier in the morning right when she was about to go to bed.

                                                                                      POV: Jack 3 hours ago

I awoke from my slumber hoping that today would be as quick as the last one spending each day in here was getting boring I have done everything that I can possibly do in this bloody god forsaken castle I've occasionally gone as far as screwing around with the guards with magic I have learned about thanks to my mother....and well sometimes going into the forbidden archives when no one is looking. I got out of my bed and began to get dressed, since my body was made up of more skin rather than hair or fur I had to wear clothes all the time minding it doesn't really bother me. I put on a black t-shirt and pants and went to my bathroom to look in the mirror, needless to say I looked like shit.

My hair was all over the place, mother tells me I should get it trimmed but for reasons in which I will not mention I prefer not. So I shook my head around a couple of times and surprise I could see my face, Two Eyes with grey almost black irises, a nose right where it belongs, a mouth filled with straight teeth except for I had small fangs placed evenly away from each other. I needed to check one more thing, I took off my shirt and looked in the mirror again and all I see is a walking twig seriously I could pass as anorexic but I don't really mind it either. As I exited the bathroom I heard a knock from my chamber's door. Standing there in elegance was my mother she had a tired yet happy look on her face.

"Son we need to talk" she said as she walked over to my bed and told me to sit next to her. I complied but with a very confused face and responded to her the best way I could

"Did I do something wrong Mother" I asked hoping that she wouldn't say the three letter word that I despised in situations like these.

"No I bring great news, I believe its time" she said, me still looking dumfounded

"Remember along time ago when you asked when you may leave this castle so you can go out and explore the world like you have always wanted, you were so young back then, and so was twilight if I remember correctly you two were the best of friends"

"Yeah when she left to ponyville though I have been nothing but bored of this dreaded castle, still I wish of the day when I can see her" I replied

"Well What if I told you that the day you whished to see her may be today" She said with a smile

My Jaw dropped, was she saying what I think she was saying

"yes I am saying so" I forgot she had the ability to read minds

All I could do was hug her and hugged her I did

"thankyouthankyouthankyou" I said over and over again but as we hugged I felt wetness on my shoulder I looked back to see that she was crying.

needless to say I took the hint

"look Mother I promise to come visit often I am not leaving you forever" as I said that she started bawling out tears, we talked for a bit and straightened out and as soon as I was packed up three hours later I hugged her and aunt Celestia and I was making my way to ponyville.

                                                                             POV: Twilight

I was currently focused on the task at hand, it was a very important task a task that is demanding and requires a lot of mind power and that task would be....

"Spike its time to reorganize the Library" I began taking the books out with both hands and magic and began reshuffling them into new sections this time the books were going to be placed by genre.

"Twilight do we really need to do this it just seem kind of well...meaningless" He spoke to me, I really didn't listen I was to busy placing the books where they belonged I took out another book one by one until I found a rather large one, it had no title on it so I finished with the other books and when to my study and then began to open the book. The title on the inside of the book read in big bold letters

                                                                                              SCRAPBOOK

I continued to investigate the book when I turned the first page I was shocked and yet very happy inside I saw a younger me and standing to my right was Jack I remember him from a long time ago I haven't seen him in ages every time I wrote him a letter he wouldn't respond I assume he was busy up in canterlot so one day I just stop completely and I guess overtime I just for got about him it was very nostalgic look over all the times we spent together, all the fun we had, and all the arguments still I wish I could see him again somet-

*KNOCK KNOCK*

I turned and got up to the entrance I was guessing one of my friends probably pinkie mostly she has been planning a lot of stuff involving me and my magic. curiously I opened the door before I could get a good look on who the guest was I was brought into a hug unable to move I began kicking around and trying to get out of the grip

"LET GO OF ME" I shouted I didn't know who this is but whoever it was complied and I was brought out of the grasp, I looked up ready to smack whoever did that but once I looked up my hand and my jaw dropped. It was Jack standing there a smile across his face.

"J-J-Jack" I said multiple feelings arose inside of me

"Miss Me" he said with a smirk

I was about to hug him again when a realization came to me.

*SMACK*

I slapped him very hard across the face, what? he deserved it he didn't write back or even tried to communicate with me and any way the only thing he responded with was an

"OW WHAT THE HELL"
