Holding on to the Stars

Joseph Pov:

I really wish Celestia's student would hurry up and find Tyler, because I'm starting to get impatient and-

Tap

And I would really feel much better knowing all of us are here so I can keep an eye on both of the guys and-

Tap

And I'm fucking getting really pissed at this fucker throwing grapes at me.

I turn to Ryan who's sitting at the head seat next to the table. We were kinda starting to get hungry so I asked if we could move to the dining room, this asshole didn't waste time stealing all the fruit, apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas......I had to ask them to bring more fruit.

Another grape hitting me and I glare at the smug asshole who's trying to look innocent. "Come on man knock it off."

"What?" Ryan shrugs innocently, looking away.

I roll my eyes and look back towards the door. Seriously though I really wish they would find Tyler already and-

Tap

I turn and glare at Ryan. "I'm gonna rip your fucking hands off if you don't cut that shit out!"

Ryan raised his hands grinning. "Take a chill pill man, I'm just tryin' ta pass the time, it's really boring here."

I raised a brow at him. "Oh yeah? And your idea of passing the time is annoying the fuck out of me with grapes?"

"Well you always did say you loved grapes." He replied, pointing a finger at me.

The door opens, a sound I'm relieved to hear as I turn and see....

not Celestia.

But an Alicorn just slightly shorter than her, dark blue wearing similar stuff except its black and she has sparkling glass shoes on her hoofs. Fuck, that must be her sister, the one Ryan punched.

The silence didn't help any especially knowing she was glaring rather hatefully at Ryan. Well as long as he doesn't piss her off the situation can't get any worse.

"Oh well nice to see ya again Princess Night Bitch or whatever yer name is, did ya bring us our dinner?" Ryan said with a grin, he's so gonna get us killed for this.

The Princess narrowed her eyes at him and unfurled her wings. "One more word out thee and we will strike thou down where-"

"Blah blah blah whatever same shit heard it before gimme somethin' new." Ryan interrupted.

The Princess grit her teeth and took a step forward. "Thou DARE-"

"Calm down Luna." The familiar voice of Celestia caught our attention as the white Alicorn walked in. "I believe I asked you to refrain from provoking my sister yet you continue to do so."

"Meh." Ryan shrugged.

As Celestia opened her mouth to reply, I decided to step in, "Um, Princess, any word yet on...our friend?"

"Yes, my student has sent me a letter, I've already sent a team of guards to pick them up and escort them here right now. They won't be long." Celestia explained.

Good.

"Good." Ryan muttered out as he took an apple.

I roll my eyes and ask, "Um, by the way Princess, how is that kid doing?"

"He is fine, still sleeping, don't worry." She said, smiling.

Least he isn't awake and having to deal with all of this.

"Kid should've gotten off the plane before that asshole hijacked it." Ryan said.

I sigh and turn to him, "And he wouldn't have hijacked it if you hadn't chased him onto it."

"And that wouldn't have happened if he hadn't stabbed us in the back." Ryan shot back. "What? Ya really think am the type of guy, who jus' lets others walk all over me and expect ta get away with it and not do shit about it? Let me tell ya somethin' brother, if anybody stabs me in the back, I'll never stop until ah make 'em pay. He stabbed US in the back, and whether yer with me or no, am gonna make that asshole pay aswell."

Ugh, figured he'd rant on about this again.

I noticed Celestia giving us a concerned look before she spoke up, "I know it's probably not my business, but if you merely give your friend a chance to-"

"Ah don't give chances to backstabbers." Ryan said as he got up and started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Luna asked, glaring daggers at him.

Ryan waved his hand as he started passing between the two Alicorns. "Ta get away from you."

Luna spun around looking ready to attack him, and she probably would have had Celestia not held her back. "Calm down sister."

The darker Alicorn did, but continued to glare hatefully at where Ryan was before turning to me. "We suggest thou do something about thine friends attitude."

"I can't do a thing Princess." I shrug. "As much I myself would probably like to, he is who he is, I can't do anything to change that."

Luna frowned a little. "I suppose. But he is a disrespectful fool, who needs to taught to respect those higher than him."

"Never gonna happen." I chuckle a little.

Celestia looks back at me, still looking a little concerned as she asks, "Joseph, why is your friend-"

"Brother." I say, catching them off guard a little as they look confused now. "Yeah he is my friend, but we've known each other all our lives, he's my brother, I've always considered him like a brother."

Celestia managed a tiny and hopeful smile. "I see. Then, perhaps you can go into detail, perhaps explain to us your history? You did explain the crash and...your friends betrayal, but you didn't explain everything before all of that."

I scratch the back of my head. "Eh, I don't know Princess, that's kinda personal."

Luna's glare finally softened, "We understand. We simply ask that you tell us what you can, that you are comfortable with explaining."

I sigh, sit down and take a few grapes. "Ok then, I...guess I'll begin with when the three of us decided to start taking the law into our own hands."

Tyler Pov:

These Ponies never cease to amaze me. Never in my entire life would I ever think of seeing such things in the world. But then, I suppose 'this' world isn't my own.

They are too kind, they are too generous, their overly friendly nature sickens me to the point that I literally feel the need to punch something. I would punch a pony, but none have annoyed me enough yet. Oh but I can already see that coming a mile away, and the first one I punch is either gonna be that stupid Rainbow Dash or Twilight Sparkle.

That little warm feeling on my hand brings me out of my thoughts and I look down to see the latter tugging on my hand with her magic. I notice the little aura around my hand is flickering, so I clench my fist and wave it aside before looking down at Twilight.

"Sorry, you were spaced out for quite a bit and we were just starting to get worried." Twilight explained with a concerned look, which I notice is the same look the others were giving me, minus Rainbow Bitch, who continues to glare at me with those puppy dog eyes.

I shrug and wave my hand, leaning against the nice soft chair they provided me. "It's fine, don't worry about it. Just do me a favour and don't touch me with that magic, I don't like it."

"S-Sorry." She shrunk away a little, ears drooping.

I sigh and lean further into the seat and close my eyes. After all of the shit I've just recently been through, I really need some rest.

"Hey there partner don't ya go dozin' off now. We still have ta go see the Princesses." Applejack interrupted the peaceful slumber I was trying to find.

So I ignore her.

"They could be sending an escort very soon, we need to be ready to leave at any moment." Twilight said.

I frown a little and keep my eyes closed, and say, "I'm tired."

"But they may be here soon!" Twilight added.

"I'm tired." I say again.

Then I hear Rarity speak up, "We understand darling but we can't afford to keep the Princesses waiting for too long."

"I'm tired." I repeat.

And then I hear Rainbow Bitch. "Ugh! Listen pal! When the Princesses say something you better Iisten and follow it! Otherwise you'll be in a lot of trouble!"

"I'm tired."

Twilight sighs. "Let's just leave him alone girls, he's obviously not going to listen right now, let's just give him some privacy."

A silence follows for a moment before Applejack says, "Ah suppose it can't hurt ta let 'em get some rest after that...crash."

I hear the sound hoofs clopping on the floor and listen in silence as the six of them leave.

"Listen here you." Rainbow Bitch still hovering nearby. "I don't like you, and I've got my eye on you. If you even so much as try anything, you'll be sorry." She says before flying out after the others.
