Chapter 16: Pipsqueaks Past(Un-Edited)

After The CMC made me and Pipsqueak part of their club, me and Pipsqueak decided to head home. I put our capes in my bag so they wouldn't get ruined. It was pretty much a short day for us. As we headed back, I remembered Pipsqueak calling me daddy when he was asleep. Taking the time now, I decided it was time to talk to him about his parents.

“Pipsqueak.” He looked up at me. “I need to talk to you about something. It’s important.”

“Oh, uh okay.”

We walked near a bench and sat down. This was gonna be a little tough, but I need to know why he’s always with me and not with his parents.

“I need to know Pipsqueak, why are you always with me? Don’t you have parents to get back to?” I asked.

Immediately from that question, Pipsqueak frowned and looked away.

“I won’t be mad at you Pipsqueak. I just need to know why you’re always with me.”

He stood silent for a few seconds until tears started falling from his eyes. “My...my mommy…*sniff* and daddy…*Hiccup* are gone.”

I was right. He did lose his parents. Oh god, I can’t believe it. A young eight year old colt like him...lost his mother and father. My heart twisted in pain by his loss.

“Oh Pipsqueak, I’m so sorry.” I said sadly rubbing his back.

I wasn’t prepared to what he told me next.

“And...after they *Sniff* died...I had to…*sniff* live with my aunts...and...and...and…” He struggled as more tears flowed.

“Let it out Pipsqueak, it’s alright.” I said softly.

“They abused me! They never cared about me! They never fed me, they would always put me to work day and night, and they would always beat me whenever I behaved badly or do something wrong!” He shouted and then sobbed.

He...he was...abused!? Oh my god. I couldn’t believe this. He suffered through almost a horrible life than mine. Everything around me like time itself stopped. I looked at the young colt, who was crying his eyes out.

I felt tears of my own flow from my eyes. I felt so horrible for him. I knew now why he was always with me, but...where are his aunts? No, I can’t think about that now, he needs me.

I scooted closer to him and wrapped my arms around him in a warm embrace. The effects were immediate and he wrapped his arms around me tightly and sobbed into my chest.

I tightened my embrace and sniffed a little. “I’m so sorry you had to go through so much pain Pipsqueak. I only wish I knew this sooner.” I whispered.

He tightened his embrace around me and nuzzled deeper into my chest. It truly tore me apart seeing him like this. How could his own relevants do something that cruel to their own little cousin?

“Shh...I’m here Pipsqueak, I’m here...shh.” I cooed softly in his ear while stroking his brown mane.

We sat there, holding and embracing each other while I tried to calm him down as best I could. I didn’t care what happens at the moment, all I wanted now was to calm Pipsqueak down and let him be in my arms.

He continued crying for over the past 10 minutes, which was surprising that he cried that long. Finally his crying silenced and he fell asleep in my arms.

I needed to know more about what happened to him, his parents and his aunts, and I believe I know who could help. I cradled pip in my arms and walked back to the library. I opened the door and saw Twilight and Spike on the couch reading a book.

“Oh, hi Daniel.” Twilight greeted smiling at me.

“Hey Twilight.” I said and gently placed Pipsqueak on an empty couch and turning to Spike. “Spike, I need you to send a letter to Princess Celestia. It’s urgent.”

“Sure thing.” He placed his book down and grabbed an empty scroll with a quill in his claws. “Okay shoot.”

I nodded and spoke.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I’m writing to you to give you urgent news about Pipsqueak. Apparently, he is suffering through a broken heart and through pain. I discovered just today that he told me that he lost his parents a long time ago and had suffered through child abuse from his aunts. This is something I will not ignore. Please contact me as soon as possible so I can know more about his past.

Daniel Blaze.

Spike rolled the scroll up and blew his fire into it and the letter was sent.

“He...lost his parents...and went through child abuse?” Twilight asked in pure shock while tears were falling from her eyes.

I nodded sadly in response and looked at the poor colt asleep. "I can't believe a young colt like him would go through something like this, even in a peaceful world like Equestria. Once I see his memories, all will be clear to me."

*BURP*

I turned around and saw Spike with a scroll in his claws.

“It’s from Celestia.” He said.

“Go ahead and read it.” I said.

He nodded and opened the scroll and started reading it.

Daniel Blaze,

...It truly aches me to discover that pipsqueak has suffered a loss in his family and has been through the hardship of child abuse. This is something I will not ignore at all, but apparently, I have too much to handle here in Canterlot for the moment. I send my sister to help you with Pipsqueak and look into his memories to find the answers you need. She’ll arrive in a few seconds.

Princess Celestia.

As soon as Spike finished the letter, a bright light appeared and Luna stood right before us.

“Wow, that was really quick.” I thought.

“Luna!” the two said and kneeled.

“No need to bow to me my little pony and dragon.” Luna said and the two rose. “I’m here for more important business with Daniel and Pipsqueak.” She looked over at me. “Where’s the young colt?”

“He’s asleep behind me.” I said pointing to him in his sleepy state.

“Good. I need him to be asleep for this.” Luna said walking up to the colt. “I will access his memories and allow you to see them as well to know about his past.”

I nodded and walked beside her.

Luna’s horn glowed in a blueish aura and gently touched his head. Then, the two of us were covered in a bright light.

(Pipsqueak. Age: 5)

The light faded and me along with Luna were standing in a living room with a few furniture everywhere.

“This must be Pipsqueaks home.” I said looking around.

“Indeed. This is before he lost his parents.” Luna said.

“Honey I’m home!” Called out a stallion voice.

A brown earth pony stallion stepped into the room wearing a construction suit, had a brown mane like Pipsqueak, yellow eyes and had a iron ball Cutie mark on his arm.

Then, I turned and saw a white mare pegasus with light blue eyes, wore a yellow dress, dark blue mane and tail and had a flute Cutie mark holding a young white brown spotted colt in her arms.

“Welcome home sweetie.” The mare said and shared a loving kiss with her husband.

The stallion broke the kiss and looked at the young colt. “Hey how’s my little Pirate doing?” he asked with a grin.

The colt, which I believe was Pipsqueak jumped out of the mares arms and hugged his dad. “I’m doing well daddy. Did you get me something?” He asked.

“Hahaha, I may have. Have you been good?”

“Yes daddy!”

“Alright then. Close your eyes.”

Pipsqueak closed his eyes while his dad started grabbing something from his pocket. He then started peeking from his hands.

“Ah ah ah, no peeking my little Pirate.” The stallion said teasingly.

“Aw, shoot.” Pips said and closed his eyes tightly.

The stallion then pulled out a little eye patch from his pocket.

“Okay, you can open them now.” He said to the colt.

Pipsqueak opened his eyes and saw the patch and gasped happily.

“A Pirate eyepatch! I always wanted one!” He hugged his father tightly. “Thank you, thank you, thank you daddy!”

The stallion chuckled and returned the embrace. “You’re welcome my little Pirate.”

I smiled warmly at this. I never knew Pipsqueak could be so happy when he was with his parents. However, I need to know what happened to them, and know further information about him.

“Luna, can you show me the next memory?”

Luna nodded and we were both engulfed in the light.

(Pipsqueak Age: 6)

The light faded and I saw a burned house that had some fire embers in different directions while a few pegasus were clearing the rest of the fire. A few feet away, I saw Pipsqueak in a grey blanket, shivering in utter fear.

Could this memorie be…A red pegasus walked up to him with a very sad face while clutching something in his hand.

“W-where’s my m-mommy and m-my d-daddy?” Pip asked afraid.

The pegasus lowered his head and shook it negatively. He gently grabbed Pips hand and placed a pirate eyepatch in it.

“I’m sorry kid...I’m so sorry.” He then left him alone to help the others finish the fire off, leaving Pip sobbing while holding the eyepatch close to him.

“This memory must be when he lost his mother and father. God, I can’t believe he suffered through something like this.” I said looking at the sad colt. Seeing him cry like this wanted me to go over to him and comfort him any way I can.

“Yes. I never knew he could be in so much pain.” Luna said wiping a tear away.

“I’m ready for the next one Luna.”

She nodded. "Very well. Be warned you'll see through his pain." We were once more engulfed in the light.

(Age: 7. A year after the accident)

My eyes opened and we were now standing in a horrible conditioned room. The window was cracked, there were a few bugs in different parts of the room and the bed looked really old.

“What is this place?” I muttered.

“STOP CRYING YOU SNIVELING BRAT!” A mare's voice shouted.

I sharply turned and saw Pipsqueak being dragged by a unicorn mare who had a dark red mane, tail, light blue fur, had yellow eyes, and had a shampoo bottle cutie mark.

“I-I-I’m s-s-sorry a-a-aunt Bubbles. I-I-I was h-h-hungry.” Pipsqueak said in a small whimper.

*SMAK*

I went wide eyed when the mare slapped him in the face with a scowl.

“SHUT UP! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO GO INTO THE KITCHEN AT NIGHT!” She shouted.

“I believe he needs to learn from this Bubbles.” Said another mare behind her.

The other earth pony mare was light brown, had dark brown hair, rosy eyes and a cinnamon stick cutie mark.

Bubbles smirked. “I believe he does Cinnamon.” She then levitated Pip into the air and turned him around.

“NO! PLEASE NOT THAT! I PROMISE I’LL BE GOOD!” Tears were flowing down his eyes from what he knew what was gonna come to him.

*WHACK*

“OW!”

*WHACK*

I stood there in utter shock and horror as I continued watching Pipsqueak being abused by these mares. Worst of it is, they’re fucking laughing at him. Every scream and whine that came out of his throat made the mares laugh harder and harder.

I felt that same energy from the school rise in my blood again, raising my anger and power tenfold. I wanted to walk over there and punch those mare for treating him like shit.

"Those assholes." I growled with a hint of demonic in it.

“Calm yourself Daniel.” Luna said softly while placing a hand on my shoulder.

As much as I didn’t want to, she’s has a good point. This was only a memory, and there’s nothing I can do for the moment. I breathed deeply and calmed myself.

After five more hard smacks, they threw him onto his bed and chuckled.

“Let that remind you to follow the rules of this house you little brat.” Bubbles said.

“Now get some sleep. You have a lot of chores to do at the crack of dawn.” Cinnamon said.

“And if we don’t see you out of bed, you’ll get another punishment.” Bubbles added.

Pipsqueak sniffed and nodded while wiping his tears away.

The two mares walked out of the room while laughing and closed the door behind them.

Pipsqueak climbed into his bed and pulled the covers over him. He let out small sobs and sniffles. All the insects and spiders looked at him with sadness, seeing this little colt in so much pain by his own aunts.

“I wish mommy and daddy were still here.” He whispered and fell asleep.

My heart shattered in a million pieces by looking at him like this. I couldn’t believe he went through so much pain and suffering ever since his parents died. I felt so bad for him.

The memories went on and last one showed Pipsqueak running away from his aunts home and coming to ponyville, where he lived in a small foster home. He was a little happier than before because some of the little colts and filled welcomed him, but I can see in his eyes he wasn't complete. He still wanted a family, a father and mother to love him deep to their hearts.

After that, the light came and we both stood in the Library. Everything that I saw was a lot for me to take in, but I now know about Pipsqueak and his past.

“Thank you for showing all that to me Luna. I promise I’ll keep him under watch and keep him safe.” I said to the dark Alicorn.

Luna nodded. “I was happy to aid you and Pipsqueak Daniel. Look after him until we find him a suitable home for him.”

I nodded and she vanished from the light.

Pipsqueak groaned and started waking up from his nap. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me, while I had a few tears running down my face.

I sat next to him and gave him a warm embrace.

“I’m so sorry you had to go through so much pain from your aunts Pip. I promise by my life and soul, I’ll always protect you and keep you safe. Even though the ends of time itself.” I whispered.

Pipsqueak returned the embrace and I felt my shirt soaking a little, probably from his tears. We stayed like this for a while, not wanting to let go of each other. As I continued my embrace with him, I could still hear the sounds of Pips aunts laughter along with his screams of pain. I gently looked up and had glares in my eyes.

If those mares ever show their faces here in ponyville to get Pipsqueak, I’ll put all hell on them. I thought.

Author's Note

That’s a wrap. The part where the aunts abusing Pipsqueak was inspired from the movie James and the Giant Peach. It’s a good movie in my opinion. Hopefully you all enjoyed. Next Chapter will be up soon. See you all later everypony.
