Winter's Blessing 2: Remember Me

It's been over eight months since I last saw my house guests and for the first few weeks they were hard, not seeing them nor hearing them. The only things that remind me of them were pictures of them some risqué others were clean and nothing suggestive.

I kept the pictures away in a small safe in my closet, mostly because I didn't wanting them to be destroy or ripped they were my only memories of them. I had to cherish them for as long as I should live, eventually I'd get over and find myself a real girlfriend and just walk away, but until then I have to stay away from it all.

But today isn't one of those spend my day sketching and working, no today was something I didn't expect to go through until I was old or until I had kids who were already teenagers. My parents funeral.

I received a call from an old friend of my dad's who told me the whole story, apparently when my mom and dad went out and left my sisters with a friend some complications happen, a drunk drive had speed through the streets and stuck the two while they were still in their car, the impact killed them both. I'd rather not explain the gory details, but all I have to say that it wasn't pretty something as horrible as what I'm parents went through isn't what I'd like to remember.

Anyway today they'd be buried in a cemetery a few miles away from my childhood home, I won't know what'll happen to this house. With luck my parents gave to me which then I can pass on to my sisters when they grow up.

And that's another story my little sisters, they haven't spoken to me since their spring break awhile back, they kept to themselves rarely even speaking the only times they did speak was to tell me they were hungry or sleepy I don't hold it against them though.

I looked at myself in the mirror I was currently in my childhood home today wasn't the best day and today was something of a horrible dream.

Leaving the room I walked downstairs to see both Dawn and Amy sitting silently waiting for me to get ready.

"You two ready?" I asked approaching the two. They only nodded and walked with me towards my car.

They were quiet their eyes were casted down to the ground it pained me to see them like this, I missed my parents as much as they did, but I had to stay strong for them as much as it pained me.

An hour later...

I sat in my parents lawyer's office, everything seemed to be in place with old looking books and ticks if clocks from various small clocks, the style was an abundance of grey and black. Sitting across from me was my parents lawyer.

He was a tall lanky man with pair of glasses upon his face, his suit was clean and looked as if it was extremely expensive. I've dealt with this man before when I was 16 my parents decided to set up paper work where if they ever died if take care of my sisters.

He wasn't the most enthusiastic of people but he was serious about his work, probably one reason I never became a lawyer lack of fun I guess.

"Well Mr.Anderson everything seems to be in order, your parents granted you legal custody of your sisters and it seems that their will states that your sisters shall inherit a large sum of money, at the time you feel they've grown up enough of course." I only nodded as he fixed his glasses pushing them against the bridge of his nose.

"It's a very unfortunate set of circumstances that had befallen your family, you have my condolences your parents were good people I always hate seeing these types of cases." I simply nodded as I looked over the custody papers.

"Sign on the dotted line and everything should be set." He informed

"Yeah thanks." I read through the papers and saw that everything was in order, signing the papers the lawyer smiled and gave me a nod.

"Well then I'm happy to inform that your sisters are under your custody though under grim circumstances I hope you three have a happy life." I chuckled and rose from my seat and walked out of the office, I looked towards my left to see my sisters sitting on the chairs waiting for me. Their still sad faces were apparent.

"Let's go girls." Both nodded and walked towards me both grabbed my hands and held them close. Up until now they didn't even touch my hands, they usually just walk behind me or close to me. I'll do everything in my power to help them out even if that means keeping them close.

Equestria, Las Pegasus...

"Thank you everyone for coming out! Be sure to keep those smiles!" Sweetie shouted towards the crowds of fans.

"We love you Sweetie!" One shouted

"Encore!" Another shouted

Sweetie smiled and waved goodbye to her fans giving them a bow as she walked off towards backstage, walking past the stage crew she kept her smile once inside her dressing room she sighed and frowned looking at herself in the mirror she took out a small picture one of which showed her old boyfriend Michael Anderson.

A young architect who cared for her and her friends eight months ago, their relationship started out rocky with her best friend Scootaloo threatening to kill him if he so happen to touch any of them, but as days and weeks passed she became infatuated with the man seeing him as someone to care for to love.

When she left his home she wished that she could've left him much more then a picture and letter, though that couldn't be possible with such a limited time on earth she couldn't give him his goodbye present.

"I miss you so much Michael. I wish I could just have you with me to tell you that I'm fine to ask what you're up to. I love you." She said with a sigh as she kept the picture close to her chest.

"Sweetie are you okay?" Sweetie quickly turned to see Spike a young drake about Sweetie's age, after Twilight became a princess and Sweetie got a contract he decided to help her as much as he could.

"I'm fine Spike." She said with a sigh as she quickly hid the picture.

"Still thinking about him huh? You guys never really told me why you all left in the first place."

"Just a set of unfortunate circumstances is all Rarity and her friends decided to get us back, and I thought something that would never happen happened, I fell in love with him." Sweetie sighed and looked to her hooves, Spike look at his friend and approached her.

"Don't worry so much about him he's safe." Sweetie smiled and hugged Spike.

"You're the best brother-in-law I have." Sweetie said with a giggle.

"I'm your only brother-in-law dummy." Spike informed with a soft smile.

Earth...

Arriving back home I helped my sisters with their luggage with what little they brought with them it was actually a breeze.

"Are you two hungry? I could get a pizza." Amy looked at Dawn and gave a simple nod before staying out on the couch.

Just as I was going to call to get a pizza my phone rang, it was the glass ringtone from my iPhone. Looking at the caller ID it was an unknown number, normally I wouldn't answer it but for some reason I had this strange feeling over it.

Pressing the answer button I placed the phone against my cheek as I listened in.

"Hello there Michael you may not know me, but I know quite a lot about you!" A rather formal yet slightly crazed voice said with glee.

"Who is this?" I asked curiously.

"Ah forgive me my boy, my name is Discord The Lord of chaos, but my occupation isn't why I called. You see a friend of mine wanted to confirm that you were okay."

"Friend?"

"Yes, a friend she wanted to confirm that you still feelings for Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom." I was surprised by what the person on the other end had known. Who was this "friend" he spoke of? And why exactly contact me when it was just best to forget me.

"Of course I still have feelings for them. Why?" The person chuckled he seemed to have grandiose time with me.

"But of course you would, those three were the reason how I got out of my stone prison in the first place, though after some time I've learned to tolerate them."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked curiously

"A friend simply asked me to contact you, now I have an offer for you. You see I'm The Lord of Chaos. I can do whatever my heart desires, now what would you do to get whatever you desire? Well would you change your sisters and your species completely and promise to live in the world of harmony in order to get back the three loves you lost?"

"What do you mean change my species?"

"I mean change from a human to a pony to get back the three mares who fell in love with you. Would you sacrifice everything you worked for, for them? Give me call if you decide, but try to hurry with your response I'm a very busy person as your species would say." The caller let out a small chuckle before hanging up the only thing I heard was the dial tone a few seconds later after the call.

"I had no idea what to do exactly. I mean I established a life on earth for so many years, the planet I grew up on and achieved so much on. Do I really want abandon everything I've done for the girls I love? Do I want to put my sisters through this, they might have a happier life yes. But I'm ripping them away from their world.

But what exactly is sticking me to this world? My parents are gone and I have legal custody of my sisters they're my only family and I don't have anyone to love or care for on this world. This was a big decision and I needed to think it over before I did anything rash.

I sighed and looked at my sisters both were depressed, but maybe going to a world they wish existed a reality then maybe, just maybe they'd smile for me.

An hour later...

Looking outside the sun began to set as the moon was starting to rise, after eating dinner my sisters asked something I wasn't prepared to answer.

If our parents were in heaven and if they were keeping an eye on us. I wouldn't really know to be honest, there was so much about life and death I didn't know there is no grey area in the situation, but to keep my sisters happy I have to cheer them up by changing the subject.

"Uh well how have you girls been doing so far anything you wanna do for summer break?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Does it get hot in Colorado like it does in California?" Dawn asked curiously

"Eh it varies from time to time but you shouldn't worry too much about it. Air conditioning is key in summer times now c'mon smile I promise everything will be fine." Amy looked up at me and had a weak smile she seemed to be hurting the most, but that small smile helped.

Equestria...

"Did you give Michael the message?" Fluttershy asked Discord as she sat on her couch petting Angel.

"Yes I did Fluttershy, and he reacted as much as I thought he would, apprehensive and rather upset mentioning their names. Again tell me why are you trying to convince this young man to uproot his life to Equestria? It's not that I care I merely wonder is all." Discord asked as he looked at his lion paw nonchalantly.

"Because I know that under their happy faces Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom aren't as happy as they seem. They need him as much as he needs them."

"If you say so Fluttershy I'm dying to see this stallion you came to like, I'm sure he'll be calling once more to tell he wants to leave his home on earth where he established everything to enter a world he has no idea what can happen, I mean it's just fine isn't." Discord states sarcastically. "What if Celestia finds out who will take the blame hmmm? You do know she'll be a major killjoy along with Twilight she might even force me to send him back."

"Then I'll deal with it, this is for Sweetie, Scootaloo, and Applebloom."

"Or is it something more than just them?" Discord mentions

"What are you implying?" Fluttershy asked

"Nothing much I'm just saying that you seem more attached to him then you're letting on, I mean the way to talked about him seemed as if you had a rather intimate connection with him. Either that or you want an intimate connection with him, though I wouldn't blame you, you haven't been the most outgoing mare in Equestria so maybe seeing those three young mares find love in a intelligent and brave young man has gotten your sparks flying." Discord simply mentions chuckling at the thought.

Fluttershy blushed as a bright blush appeared upon her cheeks, she can talk to Discord about almost anything but when it came to her love life then that's when she'd shy away from any subject pertaining to it.

"I won't judge Fluttershy, I've seen the young man myself I won't blame you either way." Discord let out a soft chuckle and gave her a small nod.

"It isn't like that!" She shouts with anger, annoyance, and a hint of sadness.

"Whatever you say my dear." Fluttershy glares at Discord as he leaves her home before letting out a sigh and looking at a picture of the CMC.

"I'm doing this for you girls. Right?" She asked to no one in particular.
