New Kid

"YAHOO! WE DID IT!" I shouted

"Check out our new looks!" Normal Norman said observing his new parts

"I have wings like Twilight?!" Flash said, "Oh hell yeah!"

"Me too!" Featherweight added

"Aw no fair!" Valhalen said

"My ear ring moved from lower to up?" Death Metal said then smiled, "I could get used to this. But why do I feel a bit smart all of a sudden."

"I feel as strong as Applejack." Thunderbird said

"I'm feeling a bit too hyper right now." Valhalen said, "And why do I feel like breaking the fourth wall?"

"I feel like designing cloths all of a sudden." Normal Norman said, "And this ain't normal."

*Ba dum tss*

"Weird." Featherweight said, "I'm feeling a bit shy right now."

"And why do I feel a bit clumsy with a side of leader?" I said

"Is this suppost to happen when you get transformed?" Flash now asked the now untied, ungagged, and dressed Twilight

"I don't think so." Twilight said, "Do you feel any different Flash?"

"No." Flash said, "I still feel like my bad boy, clumsy, socially awkward, sometimes cold, sometimes spiteful, and determined rocker self."

"Where'd you get that at?" I asked him

"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Wiki on Flash sentry, DUH." Valhalen said

We then looked at him with our best, "What the hell?!" faces.

"What in the name of fuck are you talking about?" Thunderbird asked

"NOTHING!" Valhalen said quickly trying to act like he was hiding something

God damn it Valhalen.

"Well other than that, why does it even happen?" I asked, "I understand Twilight and her friends, but why us?"

"I can honestly say, I don't know." Twilight said, "Oh! I just remembered something."

"What is it?" Flash said

Twilight then pulled out a tape recorder from her backpack and handed it to me.

"Your father gave it to me before he died and asked me to give it to you." Twilight said, "He told me he felt like he and his wife's life was coming to an end, so ya know."

I took it and saw it had a note on the front which I proceeded to read out loud.

"Play me and you will know the truth about yourself, your protector Fast Strike." I said, "Protector? Doesn't he mean dad?"

"Play it and maybe it will shed some light." Valhalen said

"I've got a bad feeling about this, but oh well." I said as I hit play

"Is this on? Good. Dream Writer. It's me."

Hearing dad's voice again gave me a sense of happiness, it was like he was still here with me even though this was a prerecorded message.

"If you're hearing this then it means me and your other protector is dead. That's right I said protector. I'm not joking when I say this Dream Writer, but we're not your real parents."

Wait what? I could even tell everyone else was just as confused as me. What in the name of fuck is he talking about?!

"I'm going to be straight forward with you Dream Writer, you're not from this world. You were sent here by Princess Celestia, your real mother."

What?!

"Princess Celestia was aware of a certain prophecy that involved you killing a creature known as Darkness. But not alone. In the time period you were born in the ponies had yet to exist, so she made me and your mother your, and I quote,'Parents' until the day you were ready to take on Darkness. It seems though that the prophecy is starting though and that means me and your mother figure will be dead soon. This may come as a shocker, but it's true."

This HAS to be a sick joke!

"You're a pony, not a human. Your an alicorn to be more specific. Prince Dream Writer. Now THAT'S a fitting title for you. He he. Look at me joking about your rank. *huff* To tell you the truth Dream Writer even though we weren't your real parents, we sure as hell felt like it. You were the best thing that ever came to our lives and we're pleased to call you our son and we're pleased that Princess Celestia gave birth to such a magnificent child."

I then felt a tear escape my eye.

"From the moment you first called me dada, to the moment you won the elementary school soccer by taking a risky shot, to the moment you took down three middle school bullies with diplomacy, and to the moment you and I survived the Manehatten High fire me and your mother was routing for you all the way, and we like to say that we're proud of you. You've grown into a magnificent man son, and we don't ever want you to change. You're no longer the Gary Stu you thought you were, you've gained character to yourself. You've got emotions like everyone else, you're clumsy, but at the same time a leader at heart and that's what it takes to be a prince of Equestria."

I then sniffed both sadly and happily.

"I know you'll make it big once you've finished off Darkness Dream Writer, and all I have to say now, is good luck. To end off this recording I'm gonna let your mother play your favorite song or you that she used to sing to you when you were little."

I then heard a piano and realized what was playing. It was My Heart Will Go On from the movie Titanic. My mom used to always sing it to me before I went to bed in hopes of getting good dreams. I dropped the recorder with it still playing as I looked at my hands.

"I-I-I-I-I."

I was at a loss for words. I then looked back up to see looks of shock. Most had their mouths open and their pupils dot sized. Twilight just had her look that she had, from what I had heard, she had when Pinkie Pie explained exactly who she and Spike was an what their intentions were. Same went for Spike. I then turned around only to find a shock faced Darkness still taking on the slightly modified version of me.

I didn't know what to do. All I could do was fall onto the floor and cry as the Playstation 1 title Persona 2 Innocent Sin's track Knights of the Holy Lance played in my head.

And that was how I discovered my true origins.
