"Moving in"
"Is this the house?" one of the brothers said. The other one replied "I belive this is the one, if you know how to read a map," They both laughed and proceeded to the front door. On the front door there was a letter from the previous owner of the house and on the letter it said "Ask keys from neighbors"
One of the brother was named Centurion he had a light blue coat and blue eyes hes mane was dark. The other was named Lightning hes coat was something between green and grey. Lightning had grey mane and yellow eyes. "Ill go for the keys." said Lightning and went for the neighbors house.
Centurion sat down and looked at the sunset, it was a nice evening. He looked ponies go by, some ponies gave a strange look at Centurion but he didn't
care about that. Soon after Lightning came back with the keys. "Lets take a look inside" Lightning said with an excitement. They went inside, it was bit dusty but it wasn't that bad. They started unpacking their stuff. There was four rooms livingroom, kitchen and a bathroom. After unpacking Centurion wanted to go outside to a local food place. He soon found one and went inside, he walked to the bartender. "Hello!" said bartender, "Are you new here?" "Yeah i am new here, i just moved in with my brother." Centurion replied Bartender asked: "so..what do you want?" Centurion answerd: "I will have a cup of green tea."
Bartender went to make the tea and serve others. Centurion took a random table next to the window and sat down. The sun had already gone down. He looked around the bar, it was quite nice. There was a blue mare pegasi talking very loudly at the other table, they all laughed. Centurion then looked out from the window, hes eye caught something in the evening sky. It was a green dot moving slightly above the clouds. Until the dot disappeared. Suddenly someone shouted right next to Centurion: "Hello i haven't seen you here before are you new?!" Centurion startled, It was that same blue mare.
"Yes i am new here." Centurion said. The mare asked: "Whats your name then?". "My name is Centurion ah friends call me Cen, and yours?"
Mare replied: "I am Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in the Equestria!" she also said "And those are my friends over there, if you want you can join us at the table." "Sure I will!" Centurion replied they walked to the table. Rainbow Dash told Centurion about her friends they had chat and they laughed.
It was time to go home. When Centurion got to the house the lights were off and Ponyville was in deep sleep. He went to bed and drifted off to sleep.
Next morning
Centurion was woken up by Lightning talking to someone at the front door. Centurion came out from the bed and Lightning walked inside.
"It was a royal guard" Lightning said "He told us that we are invited to Canterlot because we are new around here and such".
Centurion yawned "Well thats nice, what time we need to be there?" "Sometime on the evening evening he said, by the way now I am the one going outside, and i left some things for you to unpack." Centurion agreed and Lightning left. Now it was time for Lightning to walk around the Ponyville. It was quite sunny and beautiful. Ponies were walking around who had a job, who needed to go to school and such. He got to the market, ponies were selling clothes, tools,food and such.
One orange colored mare was selling apples. Lightning thought that he would buy some apples for himself and for Centurion so he walked up to the cart.
"Hello!" said the mare with a loud tone. "Hello there, I would like to buy some apples" Lightning answered with smile and started taking out the coins to pay.
The mare gave Lightning a strange look and then smiled "Hey are you the new one here?" "Yeah i just moved here into Ponyville with my brother" said Lighting
"So that must of been your brother at the bar, he talked about you, and why you moved here". "Cool, nice to meet you and whats your name?" Lightning smiled.
"My name is AppleJack, and i do remember that your name is Lightning." AppleJack laughed. Lighting smiled and said "Everybody has problems forgetting my name even my brother!" He laughed out loud. They both talked about the Ponyville and why the brothers moved here. "Well what about those apples then?"
AppleJack Lightning had nearly forgotten "Sure well i take ten nice apples then." AppleJack took the coins and started to but Apples into the bag.
But then Lighting heard some kind of noise coming from the clouds, he turned hes head and saw a green light move above the everfree forest in the clouds. Lightning felt how everything around him was slowing down until AppleJacks voice echoed trough hes ears "Here are yer apples" Lighting had a very serious look "Thank you." he said that and then ran away. AppleJack noticed that Lighting did not have a cuite mark. " Strange stallion." she said and went on with her stuff. Lighting was running towards their new home. The weather was changing, sun was now behind the clouds. Lighting thought that the weatherponies were dooing that. Anyway he got home. Centurion was sleeping. "Wake up bro something is not, right look out form the window!" Centurion got up slowly and looked out from the window. "You silly its the weatherponies, their dooing their job." Centurion smiled. "No no no no the green light i saw it !" Suddenly Centurion was more alert and went outside this time it had been closer to the village but still hidden in clouds. "It uses clouds as its camouflage" Centurion said and came back inside the house. Other ponies did not notice it. "What is it, what if it attacks us!?" Lightning was panicking. Centurion was silent for some time and then he spoke "I saw it first when i was very young, at least now you believe me." He continued "It seems like it wont attack but its getting closer every time. "I am not going outside!" Lighting yelled. "I nearly forgot we have to go to Canterlot" Centurion said "Maybe princesses can help us!" Lighting went under the blanket.
"Come out you silly" Centurion laughed. "Lets get going." They but on their suits and they took a train to the Canterlot.
At the Canterlot
They were heading for the Castle "By the way bro this is our fathers suit that you are wearing." Centurion said to Lighting "He last wore it before he went missing." Lightning said. "He saw those Lights too." They got to the large door or gate. Two guards were guarding it. The door opened. There were a lot ponies inside, they were chatting, eating and having a nice time. Four princesses were at the other side of the hall. One pony walked right infront of the brothers. "Hello! welcome to the Canterlot!" He was fancy and happy. "They will be there soon" Centurion tried to say something but the pony told them to follow him.
They got to the balcony. The fancy pony left. It was a clear night sky outside. "Maybe the princesses know about the lights, or maybe there is something written in the books." Centurion talked to himself. "Maybe our father is still alive" Lightning said. "I hope so." Centurion said. The princesses walked onto the balcony but the brothers did not notice that. Somepony cleared her throat. "Welcome to Canterlot i suggest u are new here." Lightning turned around and Centurion was startled. That somepony was princess Celestia with princess Luna and the other were princess Twilight with princess Cadance. Princess Cadance and Twilight said something to others and then left. Before Twilight left she saw something strange Centurion had nearly the same cutie mark like Celestia did only hes was blue but Lightning he did not even have one! She was puzzled. Twilight was about to leave with her friend but then she decided to go back. She wanted to ask some questions. "Your cutie mark how did you get it Centurion?" Celestia asked. Centurion couldn't find anything to say. "He was born with it" Lighting finally answered. "Born with it?" Celestia was now puzzled. "How is this possible" Luna asked. "We are trying to solve it." Lightning said. Centurion was very shy and asked very quietly. "Do your majesty know anything about the green lights?" Centurion pulled himself together. "Me and my brother, we have seen strange lights in the sky, we even saw one today." Twilight joined the chat. "It may be someponies magic". " Those lights have bothered me since i was born." Centurion replied. "Our father was investigating those lights, one day he disappeared." Twilight was looking at Centurions cutiemark and she thought "Why does a pegasi have such a cutiemark like Celestia has. "We are not actually pegasi. "Said Lightning with a smile. A chair started floating. It did not have any visible magic field around it. The chair flew right in front of Centurion and then it was gently put down. "How did you manipulate that chair, you you dont have a horn" Twilight said. " We are trying to find out how it works" Centurion spoke. Twilight spoke "You are invited in my castle, i would like to run some tests on you.
The brothers agreed, after all they also wanted to know whats so different about them.
The next day
Twilight was doing some tests on Centurion and Lightning, there was also one doctor aiding Twilight they took blood samples, tested reflexes. Soon the doctor made a list of things and gave it to Twilight. "So how is it?" asked Centurion. "Your brother is okay,but you are a lot more different, more difficult to understand." Twilight added " We need to search trough libraries." Lightning replied "We can help." Some time after they were walking back to the Canterlot.
Lightning rushed next to Twilight. He was quite worried. "Whats wrong with my brother, is he ... ill?" "Hes fine but different than others, a lot different."
They finally arrived at the castle. Twilight showed the tests to Luna and Celestia then Celestia, Luna and Twilight had a private talk. "So whats now." asked Centurion.
"Maby Zecora can find answers." Twilight said.
