Lite Step is just a regular old Earth pony DJ who came to Ponyville for just one night after partying hard last night at his concert at Manehatten. He didn't expect this one decision, to change his life, forever. Both physically and mentally.

Lite Step didn't think this could actually happen to him. He had loving parents that supported anything he did. Well, mostly. He only had four real friends growing up and a little brother, who stuck to him like glue. Wherever he went, they followed him. Being a DJ, he had no choice to move from place to place. He was getting paid just enough to pay the rent at every place he went. Now, he's grounded at some village for basically forever, just because of some accident But, he has no regrets.

This is his story.

After chapter two( it really should have been after chapter one) this fic will be in Lite Step's P.O.V.
*Rewrite coming soon. Until then, this story is on hiatus*

Escape

When Lite Step was growing up, he had an abusive father. He would beat on his mother constantly with every chance he got. Lite Step would usually listen to dubstep in his room when this happens so that he could escape reality.

One day, his father came home obviously drunk and started calling for his mother. She responded, and came to where he was. Lite Step was in the living room at the time watching TV and saw his father come through the door with a knife in his mouth. His mother saw him and started to run away from him while yelling out

"Oh, no.......NO, PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME AGAIN THIS WEEK!"

He ignored her request and pleads and ran after her. She locked herself in the bathroom. Lite Step ran to where he heard constant banging noises. Right when he got to the door of the bathroom it was too late. He could hear screams, yelps, and moans of pain. He just stood there, crying while he heard his mother constantly yelling

"HELP, PLEASE! SOMEPONY, PLEASE HELP ME!"

The calls for help started to get quieter by the minute. He tried his best to bust through the door while this was happening. What he saw when he finally opened the door is too much for even me to describe.

Lite Step vomited at the very sight of his mother sliced and diced. Blood, mucus, and guts everywhere. The last words Lite Step heard exit his mother's mouth was

"Lighty, why didn't you help me?"

He felt like he was just stabbed in the heart with a long piercing sharp sword.

All those times he just stuck himself in his room listening to music, he didn't not once think to help her at all. All he cared about was his stupid music. He started to cry even harder than before as his deep, persistent, and piercing wound in his heart, can never be healed.

He started to run out the door of his home into the street. It was storming, hard. His dad was running after him with his knife, now drenched in blood, in his mouth. Lite Step didn't know where to go, all he knew was that he needed to keep running.

He stumbled upon a Police station. He didn't dare to look behind himself, not even once. He busted through its doors, drenched in water, and had an expression that showed the look of death written all over it. Everypony started to stare at him, with a confused and concerned look on their face. A Police pony walked up to him and asked him what was going on. He just pointed outside and said out of breath

"Dad...killed...*a slight pause*....he's....chasing me!"

The Police pony could barely hear a word Lite said besides him hearing the words "kill" and "chase" get mentioned. He was actually the of Head Police ponies and ordered other Police ponies to get back up while some stayed behind. He said whispering to Lite

"We'll help you. Go sit over there, we'll have you to explain yourself after we catch whoever this pony is."

As Lite Step was about to heed his directions, the Police pony stopped Lite in his tracks and asked

"Do you know who's chasing you?"

Lite Step replied, barely being able to replenish any breath

"My Dad."

The Police pony then asked him to describe him. Lite described him as being light blue with dark blue hair and red eyes. He also described him to have a bloody knife in his mouth with blood drizzling out of it. The Police pony asked his final question

"Do you know who he killed?"

Lite Step paused for a second, he couldn't believe what he was about to say. He started to feel himself starting to cry again, that sword started to dig deeper and deeper, making this even more painful to say

"My....My...."

he stuttered. The sword in his heart got to it's deepest, lightest, and softest point. He just couldn't take the pain and regret anymore. He needed to let it out. He yelled out

"Mom!"

at the top of his breathless lungs. He started to cry even harder, even more than he had did before. The Police pony looked like he was just struck by lightning. He looked at Lite Step in disbelief. He was about to speak again before he heard yelling from outside that sounded like a crazy pony that sometimes, in fact, most of the time in the afternoon, runs past the Police station.

He then turned around as he heard somepony bust through the door, smashing their body through the door into a nearby wall. Lite Step started to back away until he found his back along the wall in the hallway. That pony wasn't just anypony.

It was his Dad.

Lite started to mutter "no" to himself repeatedly, while his face and voice was flooded with terror.

His dad got up groggily and started to run towards the Police ponies as they started to huddle in front of Lite. Lite's Dad's head met with a punch by the Head Police pony. He backed away and fell. He got back up and tried again and ended with the same result.

This time when he got back up and tried again, his head met not one, but several bullets instead of that dreadful punch. The Head police pony sighed and turned to Lite and said

"All clear, buddy. No need to be scared of him anymore."

The Police pony smiled wryly at Lite. Lite Step never felt so relieved in his life as a colt. But he started to think deeply about one particular question.

What now?

New Beginnings

New Beginnings

Lite Step sat in the waiting room at Baltimare Hospital covered up in a blanket. He was waiting for his mom's surgery to finish, even though he already knew that there was a very slim chance of his mother surviving. Knowing this almost brought him to tears but he stopped himself from crying. Lite knew that his mother wouldn't want to see him like that. He didn't even think about what his father would do to him, he didn't care about him anymore.

While he was waiting and preparing for being told if his mother survived or not, a unicorn mare dressed in a business suit holding a note pad with telekinesis, walked up, and sat down next to him.

"Hi! My name is Social Treat! What's yours?" she said smiling while sitting next to him. Lite didn't say anything, he just stared at her. He didn't know who she was, where she came from, or why she's here. All he knew was that he didn't want to be bothered with anypony right now. "I'm Lite Step..." he mumbled while scooting away from her.

"I was supposed to meet a colt with blue hair and a light blue coat, and it seems like that's you!" She said while getting her notepad and pen ready to use. Lite Step was still staring at her with an annoyed and sad look.He just nodded slowing, not knowing what to say.

"I just wanted to ask you some questions regarding your family."she said. "Why?" Lite said, looking at her with annoyed look. "The Head Police pony that you met earlier hired me to help you!" She said, while smiling even more. Lite Step was wondering why she would actually answer his question, even though it was rhetorical. He knew why she was there. She wanted to find him a place to live, even though he wanted to stay at the hospital for however long it took for his mom to recover.

But he had no choice but to answer her. She wouldn't leave him alone. Lite sighed "What do you want to know..." he said in a gloomy voice. "Well, do you know your grandparents?" she asked. "No" Lite said. She scribbled that down. "Older sisters or brothers?" "No, it's just me, all alone..." Lite said. She scribbled that down. After she was finished, she said "Umm...OH! I could have made this sooooo much easier with this one question! Do you know any other relatives besides your parents?" "No" he said, while yawning out of boredom. The mare was shocked at that but then smiled, scribbled that down, and said "Thank you for your answers Lite Step. These are going to be important for the future! Now, I just have a couple more questions to ask you." She noticed the Lite Step looked at her with anger and boredom written all over his face. "I-I p-promise it wont take long!" She said while being taken back at his expression. "Fine..." Lite Step said while looking towards his mom's operation room.

A tear fell from his eye. Treat didn't let it go as if it was nothing to worry about. "What's wrong?" She said while trying to scoot over to Lite. He couldn't believe she would ask a question that stupid. He didn't answer, he just started to cry. "I'm sorry if I made you sad, and angered you. I was just trying to help." she said in a gloomy tone. "It's not your fault..." He said in between tears and sniffling. "It's all my fault because I didn't help her, I just ignored her..." He said. Social Treat hugged him and said "It's not your fault. You did everything you could to save her. So stop beating yourself up like that or else you're gonna be sad for the rest of your life." Lite Step just cried himself to sleep while Social Treat just hugged him and went to sleep too.

Hours went by while both of them were snuggled up to each other. Social Treat was the first to wake up. She smiled at Lite while he was sleeping adorably in her hooves. Treat was starting to consider taking Lite in herself for her and her coltfriend, Acoustic, since she was infertile. Treat was about to get up, wake up Lite, and ask him if he would consider letting her adopt him, even though she knew that wasn't a proper question to ask a child his age. But as she got up, a doctor walked out a operation room, and started to head towards Social Treat and Lite. Treat immediately woke him up. Lite was about to ask Treat why they were snuggled up to each other but before he knew it, a doctor got his attention.

The doctor began "We seemed to have saved your mother's life right in time before she bled out. But the problem is that your mother is in a coma and is paralyzed from her neck straight down. We did all we could to fix her spinal cord but it was beyond repair. Most of her organs are damaged, but we will install artificial ones inside of her soon. We're sorry, we did all that we could. You can go visit her in a couple of days so that her body can relax and recover."

Lite Step sat still to process everything. My mom is still alive...MY MOM IS STILL ALIVE!!! Lite Step stood up and ran up to the doctor, hugged the life out of him, and thanked him over and over again for helping save his mom's life. Lite was overjoyed to know that she was alive. It didn't matter if she was in a coma or not, she was still breathing. That's all that mattered to Lite. That she was still alive.

The doctor looked surprised at first but returned the hug and smiled. Lite finally cried happy tears that day, he never felt so much joy like this in his life. Social Treat teared up at the happy scene the the young colt probably hasn't had in years. She decided that she could wait to ask her Lite her question and let him have this moment.

After a couple of minutes, Lite had calmed down to his usual self, still holding onto the most joy he had ever experienced,in his heart. Social Treat said that Lite could come home with her since he literally had no other place to go. They barely made any progress in questioning and they hadn't decided what to do with Lite either. Lite had agreed to go with her, it seemed like he really didn't have so much of a choice.

They thanked the doctor and walked out the hospital. Lite Step was gleaming with happiness. He knew he didn't have to worry about his father anymore. He knew his mom was at least alive I guess. And now he has a place to stay! With Social Treat...so annoying...I mean, she already asked too many questions, she snuggled and went to to sleep with me, Yuck! And she's probably gonna ask me if I want her to adopt me! Of course... I'll say no... Lite started to blush when Social Treat asked him the same question "Can I adopt you? You are just too cute!" Lite blushed harder and couldn't believe what he was about to say. ".....ok....." He said this in the lowest voice he could possibly make. Treat hugged him, turned around, and started bouncing just as a certain pony would do. She smiled with every bounce she made. " This is gonna be so much fun!" What did I get myself into... Lite thought as he sighed and followed Treat to his new home, for now I guess it is...

Far out in the distance, they saw a bright and rainbow light. Anypony surrounding them stopped to look at it. "What the heck was that??!!" Lite said while making a full stop to look at it along with Treat who, well, thought differently of it. "Wow! I never seen that before! I wish I knew where it came from..." She said while staring at the forever going light. "Well I for one don't, I just wanna go...home...and relax."Lite said while taking his attention away from the "annoying" rainbow and walked away, of course not knowing where he's going. "Aww c'mon! It wouldn't hurt to just look at it while it last! I mean, I don't know if it would hurt or not but its worth a shot!" Treat said while desperately trying to stay and look at the rainbow a bit longer. "While you're doing that, I'm going to go...umm...somewhere, and stay there." Lite said while walking away slowly. "But you don't know where you're going! Treat said. "Oh well! I'm going wherever the wind takes me!" Lite said while trying to sound cool but his squeaky voice stopped him from doing so. "...Fine, I go home and find out what that rainbow thingy was later..." Treat said while walking up to Lite sadly. "Well then let's go!" Lite said with his squeaky voice and a happy tone for some reason. Treat perked up and said "This is why you are soo cute!" Lite Step blushed and said "Stop being so embarrassing!" "Nope! I'm never giving in!" Social Treat said while trotting soon galloping ahead of Lite. "Bet you can't catch me!" She said teasingly while making a funny face at Lite. "Oh yeah? Bring it on!" He said while chasing after her in a full gallop with a smile on his face.

When he did, something happened. Something inside of him sparked. He felt like he just found what he has been looking for: Fun. He ignored his feelings and just had fun while it lasted.

Author's Note

Sorry for the wait, my teacher wanted to act retarded and give us research assignments every other week with a bunch of homework. And I got after school so that doesn't make it any better...

Settling in

Lite Step's P.O.V.

Even though I had a head-start, Social Treat managed to somehow get ahead of me by bouncing. Seriously? She is so weird. But at least she knew where to go. I guess in front of me right now is her house or something, but I never seen a house so tall! It was at least 2 and half stories tall. My old house was half the size of that, I think.

"I've never seen a house so tall!" I said while inspecting the house. It had two hedges across from each other with a bunch of flowers in them. While have more flowers surrounding the house. It also had a front gate that was whitish yellow. There was a path leading to the stairs of it too. "Really?" asked Social Treat in disbelief. "I didn't really get out much. I was too lazy to go outside." I shrugged. I was either listening to music, watching TV, and being bored. I also read books on the side from time to time.

"You didn't even go to school?" Treat asked in a concerned tone. I rolled my eyes, that's why I read books. They taught me anything I needed to know. "I dropped out of school in 3rd grade. I just stayed home one day and kept doing it over and over again. Eventually I was kicked out of school because of my attendance." I said. "What grade are you supposed to be in now?" Treat asked in complete horror. "I think 6th or something." I said shrugging. "That's terrible! Once you get settled in I'm gonna make sure you get enrolled into school when the school-year starts!" she said in complete determination. "I was doing just fine without school..." I muttered. By the time I said that, her front door was open. "Come in!" she said smiling. I don't understand how she can smile all the time... It really isn't necessary...

I walked in and looked around. The inside of the house looked just as nice as the outside of it. There was pictures hanged up on the walls. Most of them contained Social Treat and some stallion. She had a greyish white coat and whitish pink hooves with a curly yellow mane with baby blue eyes. She was a pegasus and had three purple balloons for a cutiemark, what does that mean? The stallion had a blue coat with a white gradient on his hooves. He had a light green mane with a white gradient at end of it. He was wearing a dark blue tie. He was a unicorn and was tall and skinny. His cutiemark was a lightning bolt made to look like a violin( or guitar?). I wonder what that's about, but it looks cool! There were some other pictures on the wall that looked like pictures of places I've never seen before. Others, included Treat hugging some pink filly with a dark pink straight mane. She wasn't smiling in the pictures, but it looked like she wanted to. Why didn't she smile then?

I guess we're walking into her living room. It had a TV on top of a dresser with a gaming console and some controllers in it. I can't wait to try that out! It included a black couch. The dining room was close to the living room. It was so close that it looked like it was connected to it! The kitchen was connected to the two rooms. The only thing separating the rooms apparently were some door entrances without doors, that's weird. I saw stairs leading up to where the second floor was.

I smiled at how nice the inside of her house looked. I sniffed the air, it smelled pretty good too. My house was pretty dull, it didn't even have any decorations on in it anywhere! "You like it?" Treat asked. "Yea!" I said happily. "Well make yourself at home!" she said. I walked over to the couch and sat down. I saw a remote, that I guess goes to the TV. I turned the TV on to find out that it was already on a channel showing cartoons. I can get used to this. I watched TV for a good 30 minutes until I heard somepony open the door. Who would walk into somepony's house without knocking? When I saw who it was, I realized that he looked like the stallion in the photos.

"Surprise, I'm h-" he paused when he saw me. We stared at each other for a good minute until I said "Um, hi?". That was literally the first time I ever felt shy. And wait, who is this pony named "Surprise"? "Why are you in my house?!" the stallion said just standing there. I think he's surprised, of course he is... Social Treat came out of nowhere(how does she do that?) and said "Welcome home Acoustic! I see that you met Lite Step!". Wait, if his name is "Acoustic", then why is his cutiemark an electric violin or something! This guy is keeping some sort of secret. "That still doesn't explain why there's some random colt in our house Surprise! And why is he watching our TV?!" Acoustic said.

I thought her name was Social Treat? I am so confused... I hopped off the couch and walked over to Social Treat. He kept watching me as I moved. If you think about it, that's kinda creepy. "We're gonna adopt him!" Treat said. "You didn't talk to him about it first. Instead, you just talked to some traumatized colt about adopting him. You basically kidnapped me! How come I didn't realize this earlier?..." I said. I really should stop talking now. "Wait, what?" he said dumbly. "This...Lite Step is correct about most of that. But what I don't get is the kidnapping and traumatized part. So wait, you kidnapped a traumatized foal?!" he said. At this point, I think he's kinda angry. " Let's all just sit down, and Lite and I can explain everything!" Treat said happily. She turned around and bounced to the dining room table.
We followed her.

After a couple of minutes of explaining how this happened, Acoustic had a better understanding of the situation, I hope. "So, Surprise, you're telling me that you basically kidnapped this foal so that you can adopt him?" Acoustic said. "I didn't actually kidnap him, I just took him home because he didn't have anywhere else to go! And he looked cute!" Treat said. "I'm not cute..." I muttered while crossing my arms and blushed. "I get it now. So, you wanted to adopt him?" he said while crossing his arms too. "Yep!" Treat said. "Then let's see how much you know about music." he said with a devilish grin.

That literally came out of the blue, but I'll totally ace this! "Name all the genres of music you know." he said. "Dubstep, Chillstep, Melodicstep, Acapella, Acoustic, Techno, Rock, Metal, Rap, Pop, R&B, Classical, and that's basically it." I said proudly while puffing out my chest. "Not bad. I take it that your favorite type of music is along the lines of dubstep and techno?" he said smiling. "It's the best type of music ever!" I said.

"Well, we both got something in common." he said chuckling. "But why is your name "Acoustic" and your cutiemark is an electric violin?" I asked. He paused, I guess I shouldn't have asked about that. "Tell you what, I'll tell you later on only if you promise to show me your skills." he said. I guess he's talking about music. I never really considered if I could make music on my own, besides making random taps and beats everywhere absent-mindedly... I'll give it a try then! "It's a deal!" I said.

"Also, one more question. Why do you call Treat "Surprise"?" I asked. "Well, if you can already tell, she can be really surprising sometimes. And she occasionally sneaks up on ponies and surprise them! So I nicknamed her "Surprise"!" he said smiling. That makes much more sense now. And that name fits her too. "I like that name, I guess I could call you Surprise now?" I asked. "Of course, silly! Everyone calls me Surprise!" she said.

"We have a guest room upstairs for you, if you want to get settled into it?" Acoustic asked, gesturing towards the stairs. "Sure, thanks!" I said. I trotted up the stairs, into what I assumed was the guest room. The room was pretty much empty, except having a bed and a dresser against the wall. I flopped on the bed, planning on taking a quick nap.

Then suddenly, my body became unforgiving. I had forgotten to use the bathroom at all in a couple of hours after being caught up in that mess! I got up hurriedly and quickly found the bathroom. I quickly shut the door to shut out any intruders. After taking care of my business, I spotted a mirror. I decided to take a look at myself, after all, I hadn't did that in long time. I basically forgot what I looked like! I walked over to the mirrior and stood on my hind hooves.

My dark blue bangs were covering up my eyes so I couldn't really see that much. I moved them out of my way and saw my eyes. I had forgotten that they were different colors. Pretty cool, huh? My left eye was reddish purple while my other eye was greenish blue. I was bluish purple and had a dark blue mane with white tips at the front. This goes for my tail too. I think I need a manecut or something 'cause my mane is kinda too long for me. I looked behind myself and saw that still was missing a cutiemark. I sighed. I probably won't be getting one anytime soon either.

I got down and decided to find something to keep my mane out of my face until I could get a manecut. I found a thick rubber band just lying on the sink. I shrugged. I don't know if anypony was going to use this but I am now. After putting my mane into a low ponytail, my view had cleared up, thankfully. I went to go look into the mirror again and I looked much better. But... I still needed a manecut.

I walked back to the guest room and flopped down on the bed once again. I regretted not trying to enjoy the sensation of the bed last time. It was soft and comfortable unlike my old shabby bed. The pillow felt like it was filled with the best feathers anypony could ever find. I sighed blissfully and drifted off to sleep, well, atleast I tried to.

The last words that my mom said to me kept repeating over and over in my head. Lighty, why didn't you help me? I...I don't know. I just didn't know what to do... Lighty, why didn't you help me? I was afraid of him... he was always hostile and either drunk or high... I just coudn't handle it... Lighty, why didn't you help me? I was too weak!... Heck, I still am... Lighty, why didn't yo- I couldn't! I'm too selfish weak to help anypony, or anybody at all! All I care about is music... and music alone... but why can't I just be selfless for once... I just... don't know...

I cried myself to sleep that day... and I thought I was going to have nice dreams for once...

I kinda have no excuses on not putting this out sooner. I but, I blame school, like I always do.
