Chapter 1 Of prophecies and peril

Once were two vibrant sisters. The eldest one, Celestia raised the sun to bring forth a new day and lowered it come the time of night. The younger one raised the moon to begin the night and lowered it come the daytime. One fateful day, the young sister grew hateful and resentful towards her sister. The ponies laughed and frolicked in the daytime but slept and shunned her beautiful night. So with this, the younger sister transformed into a monstrous beast known as Nightmare Moon.The eldest sister had no choice but to use the elements of harmony. These elements were embedded with magical power. When used, they could defeat dark magic. Without any choice, the older sister used the elements, banishing her sister in the moon for 1000 moons. It says that the stars will aid her escape, and on the longest day of the thousand year, she will return. Then she will bring an eternal night to all.

Twilight Sparkle looked up from her book, thinking about the legend she had just read. She did not know what to think about this so she decided in the end, she would ask Princess Celestia about it. She started to run home, but she was stopped by her "friends". Twilight didn't have time for silly friend making. She had more important things to attend to then making new friends, but these ponies were in front of her.

"So Twilight, Moondancer is having a party. Want to come?" Lemon Drops asked eagerly. Moondancer was a friend of Twilight's, even though Twilight didn't really care about that.

Twilight thought of an excuse quickly before she responded with a sheepish smile, "Oh, sorry, girls, but I have to study."

Then, she began running off, leaving them in a sour mood. The last thing she heard was Lyra saying, "Does she do anything but study?"

Twilight Sparkle burst into her room that was located in the castle of Princess Celestia. As she did, she looked around for her assistant Spike the Dragon. As Twilight did not see Spike at first, but then she heard a groan from behind the door. It was her dragon assistant!

Spike was purple from head to toe including his tail. The only other color on his body was green. He had a green belly along with green scales on his back. He also had dark green eyes and a forked tongue; unlike the other dragons, Spike was raised among ponies. Therefore he had picked up on the customs, history and culture.

Twilight Sparkle looked at her dragon helper before she noticed a package held by his tail. She looked at Spike in confusion.

"What is that?" Asked Twilight

"Well it was a present for Moondancer," answered Spike, saddened by the loss of the gift.

"Spike, you know we have no time for that. I need your help. Get me the book Predictions and Prophecies," commanded Twilight as she searched the books she was holding.

"Found it!" Said Spike, waving the dusty book.

Twilight, using her magical ability, levitated the book to herself; knocking Spike off of his ladder in process. She opened the book looking for the page about the Mare in the Moon. She found what she was looking for, but it was only a little bit more information on the story.

Once the stars aid in her escape she will bring nighttime to all.'

Twilight looked up from the book, her mind full of questions. Then she decided on a solution.

"Spike write a letter," Twilight ordered. After Spike took an empty scroll and a quill, she cleared her throat and began,

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I have reason to suspect that Nightmare Moon is returning. Please take action. I await your response.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle”

~~~~

'Dear whomever reads this,

I am writing this because I can't keep on living life like this. I have no pony who cares about me. No pony will miss me.

The other kids at school bully me for being different. I'm sorry that I was born this way. Please forgive me for doing this. I am sorry.

From Wisdom'

The little light green colt finished writing the letter and left it on the table. Then he went to get a ribbon from his room. Once he did so, he left for Sweet Apple Acres.

He evenutally reached his destination and begun to tie the ribbon onto a tree branch. When he finished his task he climbed up the tree, got into place, and let gravity do the rest.

Twilight and Spike were at Sweet Apple Acres, sampling the delectable food for the summer sun celebration. As Spike looked closely at the vast amount of apple trees, he saw something peculiar. It looked like a pony or at least something shaped like a pony.

"Twilight, there's something over there," Spike trembled with a little bit of fear in his voice.

"Spike there's nothing-" the lavender unicorn stopped mid sentence, her eyes widening. Applejack also spotted the object, wondering what could possibly be.

Twilight, Spike, and Applejack ran towards it, and they saw it was a pony hanging by a red ribbon. In fear, Twilight used her magic to untie the ribbon and levitate the young unicorn off of the tree branch, hoping that he was still alive. She gently placed the colt on the soft, green grass.

"Where is the hospital?" Asked Twilight, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. You could easily tell she was panicking.

"It would probably be best if I showed y'all," Applejack gulped.

Twilight then levitated the green colt with her horn glowing purple as she and Spike followed Applejack to the hospital.

~2 hours later~

Wisdom woke up in a soft bed. He turned his head to only see a white wall. He lifted his head and as he did so, pain was rushing inside him. He cringed as he saw a two ponyies come in the room. One has a lavender coat She look irritated to be there. The other one was white, and Wisdom assumed that she was the nurse, judging by the hat.

"How are you, honey?" Asked the nurse.

"I-I'm fine," Wisdom stuttered.

"Well," the nurse started, "you have bruises on you. Does it hurt?"

Before he could say anything, the purple unicorn spoke up, "May I please go now?"

"Sorry, Miss Sparkle, but we need somepony to check him out of here," said the nurse. The lavender pony sighed in dismay.

After that, the nurse checked Wisdom's injures just in case. The only injures she found was a few scars on his stomach. The nurse let Wisdom get off the bed and let Twilight Sparkle take him to the waiting room to check Wisdom out of the hospital. As they walked into the waiting room, Wisdom saw a purple and green dragon sitting on a chair, looking apprehensive. When he saw them, the dragon got off the chair and walk over to them.

"Hi, I'm Spike," Spike said with his claw outstretched. As he did so, Wisdom closed his eyes and trembled in fear.

"Are you ok?" Asked Twilight, concerned.

"Y-yes I'm fine. I just thought.." Wisdom trailed off.

"Ok then," The lavender unicorn said. As she did she was analyzing the colts behavior.

"I didn't get your name," said Spike

"I'm sorry, I'm Wisdom,"replied wisdom

"It's ok, Wisdom." Said Spike, already detecting the fear in his voice as he went up and hugged him.

Wisdom didn't want what happened last time to happen again. He didn't want to be called a fagot.

I'm sorry, Princess Celestia, for being gay, I'm sorry I'm an abomination Wisdom thought solemnly.

Chapter 2 of party's and ponys

Soon, the trio left the Ponyville general Hospital, and as they did so, Twilight started a conversation, "So, Wisdom, where do you live?"

"Well...um...I don't have any home," Wisdom lied.

"I'm so sorry to hear that, Wisdom! Hey, I have an idea. You can stay with us for the next two days," Said Spike cheerfully.

"Thank you, Spike," replied Wisdom as he smiled at the little dragon.

"Now, Spike, he-" she trailed off, realizing she would only make the situation worse if she did intervene.

The group of two ponys and a dragon walked In silence to the middle of the town where they found a Library named the Golden Oaks library. The three walked in and tanned on the lights.

"SURPRISE!!!" Shouted what looked to be most of the town ponies.

After they got over the shock of probably hundreds of ponies in one small library, they noticed a pink earth pony with three balloons as her cutie mark and a curly pink mane.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie! Oh my gosh! A other new pony! This is so cool! You see I know every pony In Ponyville, and I haven't seen you three here before, so that means your new!" Pinkie Pie babbled enthusiastically as she bounced up and down.

Wisdom was scared of the enthusiastic mare so he hid behind Spike.

"HiI I'm twilight. This is spike and wisdom" said twilight. As she did wisdom tried to hid behind spike more.

"It's ok. Go eat some food!" Said Spike with a smile on his face as he was looking at wisdom.

Wisdom was cautious at first when he started to walk away from Spike. He felt safe when Spike was around. Wisdom took spike's advice. He walked to a table with a light sky blue table cloth.

He then looked at the food and drinks on the table. There were cupcakes, hot sauce, and apple cider split into two groups. Some with alcohol and some with out. Wisdom took a bottle of nonalcoholic apple cider. Wisdom then opened the golden colored bottle with his light green magic. Wisdom then drank some of the apple concoction. As he put the drink down he heard a mares voice.

"Hey kid." Wisdom heard the mare say.

He turned around to find a sky blue mare with a rainbow mane looking at him. Wisdom was frightened. He didn't know what to to. So he did the only thing he would think of. He ran. He scripted to the shares. Wen he reached them he ran up and went into the nearest room. It looked like a bed room. Wisdom looked around for a place to hid.

"Hey kid!" Wisdom heard a mare say.

He turned around to find a sky blue mare with a rainbow mane staring at him. Wisdom was frightened. He didn't know what to to. He did the only thing he could think of: running. When he reached to a house, he ran up and went into the nearest room: a bedroom. Wisdom looked around for a place to hid.

"Hey kid! Open up!" The mare from outside banged the door.

Wisdom didn't have any time to choose a good hiding place. As he got under the bed as he heard the door creek open.

"Come on out, kid," the mare warned.

Wisdom peered his head out from under the bed. He saw the sky blue mare looking around cautiously. He then tried to put his head back under the bed, but it was too late. The pegasus has already seen him. She ducked to get to Wisdom's eye level.

"Come on kid. Get out from under three," said the mare.

"Um ok," replied Wisdom fearfully as he got out from under the bed.

"Now why were you running from me?" Asked the mare.

"Well I thought you were-" Wisdom was cut off by Spike's voice. "Wisdom? Are you up here?"

"Yes spike." Wisdom said and, as he did Spike then walked into the doorway.

Spike looked concerned. He walked over to Wisdom and put a claw on his shoulder. Wisdom then felt the felling that spike somehow cared about him.

"Wisdom what's wrong?" Asked spike

"Ya spike I was just trying to think." Said wisdom

"Well then why did you run away from me?" Asked the mare

"I thought you were going to be like my parents." Replied wisdom sheepishly

"What did they do?" Asked a concerned spike

"Well, Spike I don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry." Said wisdom starting to cry.

"It's ok." Said spike "you don't have to tell us if you don't want too. Come on let's go see the princess raise the sun."

Spike, Wisdom and the light blue colored pony went down stares to go see the sun rise. Wen they got off the last step they saw Twilight, Pinkie Pie and three more ponys

standing next to them. One was a butter yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and three pink butterflies as her cutie mark. One was a orange colored earth pony with a blond mane in a ponytail to the side and three red apples as her cutie mark. The last one was white with a purple mane, she had three blue diamonds as her cutie markSpike, Wisdom and the light blue colored pony went down stares to go see the sun rise. Wen they got off the last step they saw twilight, pinkie pie and three more ponys standing next to them. One was a butter yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and three pink butterflies as her cutie make. One was a orange colored earth pony with a blond mane in a bun and three red apples as her cutie mark. The last one was white with a purple mane. She has three blue diamonds as her cutie mark.

Pinkie Pie bounced over to Wisdom, Spike, and the blue Pegasus. She looked over to Twilight and the other three as if to say "Come on over." Twilight and the three ponies walked over to Pinkie Pie.

"Hey guys. This is Rainbow Dash, Flutershy, Rarity and Applejack." Said the energetic Pinkie Pie. First pointing to the pony next to Wisdom, then the butter yellow Pegasus, then the white paper unicorn and finally to the orange earth pony.

"Um, hi I'm Wisdom."

"Hey how yo-" spike started but, he didn't get far because Fluttershy ran up to him and put him in a bone crushing hug.

"A baby dragon." Flutershy said happily "I want to know every thing about you."

She then hared a "ahem" from behind her. She trained around to see the four ponys giggling and, Rarity with her hoof up in front of her face.

"Excuse me darling but, I don't think now is the time to ask him questions." Rarity said as Flutershy blushed a tomato red.

"It's good to see y'all are ok Wisdom." Applejack said

"Thanks Applejack. It's nice of you to say that. My dad probably wouldn't even have taken me to the hospital." Wisdom said but, realizing the last thing he said. He covered his mouth but, the damage was already done.

"Oh my" Fluttershy said quietly

AppleJack raised an eyebrow. "What do y'all mean by that Wisdom?" As she did the others nodded in agreement.

Wisdom didn't know what to do. He couldn't ignore her question. So he did the one thing he could do he started to tell the story of his dad and why he got hurt.

Chapter 3: of backstory's

"Shouldn't we go see the Princess raise the sun?" Spike asked

"Remember Spike the Summer Sun Celebration isn't until tomorrow." Twilight reminded him.

"Oh yeah." Spike said remembering the what Twilight said is true.

"Before we continue with me telling you all what happened can we go somewhere more private please?" Wisdom asked the interested ponies and dragon.

"Of course we can." Spike said

Spike then led them to the bedroom Wisdom had hid in when Rainbow Dash was chasing him. Spike, Wisdom and Twilight sat on the blue blanketed bed. The rest of them sat on the floor. As they sat, they waited for Wisdom to tell his tale. Wisdom then gave a worried look. He was scared about what there reaction would be. Wisdom had no choice. He would have to tell them the truth and not just lie like he had done countless times before. I took a deep breath before He continued on.

"My dad hates me and, I'll tell you why." Wisdom said sadly,

--having a flashback.--

Dragon Hoof was entering his high school. He looked over and saw some pony looking at him in anger. Dragon looked surprised at this. He did not think that anypony would hate him because, he didn't know that meany ponies. Dragon Hoof went to his first class which was math.

"Hey dragon. I here that you hate ponies who are gay. Is that right?" Fairy, his brother, asked him.

Dragon looked at him. Fairy was a light blue union with a gold mane. He was frowning at his brother. Fairy was openly gay. Everypony was okay with this because, In equestria gays were not discriminated against. Ponies in Equestria were treated equally. No matter what their sexuality was.

"No! I'm not a homophobic." Dragon Hoof said.

"Oh because, somepony told me you are." Fairy replied

--The flashback switched and they were now at home.--

"Why didn't you tell me you started the lie?" Dragon Hoof asked.

Fairy didn't respond to his brothers question. Dragon stormed to his room angered.

And then it switch again.

-some years latter-

"Hey faggot! Get me a Beer." Dragon Hoof ordered his son.

"Ok." Wisdom replied as he went to get father a beer.

--The flashback stopped.--

"My dad hates me. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to hang myself and, that's when you

found me. Please don't take me back there ." Wisdom begged crying.

"It's okay, we won't take you back there." Spike said

"Y'all know you could have told somepony." AppleJack said

"My dad said he would kill me if I ever did tell somepony." Wisdom replied

"Oh my." Fluttershy spoke up.

"Well he's a grumpy wumpess whoo. Isn't he?" Pinkie replied bouncing around the room her main flat. Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow all remained silent.

"So I assume you all hate me now. Right?" Wisdom asked still crying.

"No we don't." Spike said hugging wisdom as pike, applejack and flutershy nodding in agreement as rest of them came out of there shock. They then looked at wisdom crying as he hugged spike.

"Now that can't be true wisdom." Twilight said

"I'm bucking crying. Do you really think I'm lying?" Wisdom asked

"Language." Fluttershy and Rarity said in unison.

"Well I guess not." Twilight said hesitantly

"I'm sorry for cursing and for being a fag." Wisdom said as he stopped crying

"Now don't you dare call yourself that again. Listen to me you are not a fag. You are unique," fluttershy said speaking up.

"You really think so?" Wisdom asked

"Yes I do." Fluttershy responded

"I just wish I didn't have to go back home." Wisdom said sadly

"It's ok Wisdom. You can stay with us." Spike said

"Thank you spike." Wisdom said greatly

"It's no problem." Spike said

"Now spike I don't-" Twilight stopped when the six ponies and one dragon glared at her.

The seven ponys and one dragon went downstairs and enjoyed the party. Not knowing the next day would behold trials for them to overcome.

Lunch with a chat. (Edited)

Wisdom was running through darkness. He didn't know where he was going. He only knew that he needed to get away from the monster chasing him. Wisdom just kept running until He ran until his hooves gave out and he fell to the ground. Wisdom knew the monster would catch up to him soon. So he just sat there awaiting his fate.

Wisdom woke up sweating and crying softly. A light then came on. He looked up and saw spike looking at him. Spike looked at Wisdom with concern. Spike walked over to wisdom and sat on the couch next to him.

"Wisdom are you okay?" Spike asked.

"Ya I guess. I just had a bad dream." Wisdom lied as his crying slowed down.

"No you're not okay." Spike said not convinced "now tell me about your dream."

"Well in it a monster was chasing me." Wisdom said

Spike then hugged Wisdom. As he did Wisdom got that feeling again. When spike let go Wisdom felt sad again.

"Do you feel better?" Spike asked

"Ya I do." Wisdom said

Spike sat with Wisdom until the sun came up. By then twilight was walking down stairs.

"Spike, Wisdom are you two hungry?" Twilight asked them

They both nodded as an answer to her question. Then the three of them walked into the kitchen. Twilight looked around for some food but, she couldn't find any.

"Well it looks like we're going out to eat." Twilight said with a smile

Twilight grabbed a bit bag with her magic and the trio left the ponyville library. They then found a little café. A cream colored pony stepped out of the double doors and walked to them as they sat down at a table.

"Hello you three. Here are the menus." The pony said putting the menus on the table

The pony then left them to decide their orders. Wisdom then looked over the menu. Wisdom saw salads, sandwiches and more. Soon the server pony came back to their table.

"So did you three decide what you want?" The pony asked them

"Yes." Wisdom said " may I please have a salad and some water."

The other two gave their orders and, then the pony left to get their food. As they waited for the food they sat in silence. When the food came they ate in silence as well. Once they had finished twilight spoke.

"Well we need to go oversee the preparations for the celebration." Twilight said smiling at the two males
