"Hey Kasper, throw it to me!" yelled my brother Solar
"No way shrimp, he's got this on the bag!" yelled my other brother Flare
"I got this one on the run guys!" I yelled back
We were in the castle courtyard playing football again while mom and Aunt Luna watched us from the porch. It's been 18 years since we've been in the castle. Mainly because we were born here and only go outside the castle walls when Aunt Luna says that the coast is clear. By that, I mean when mom is asleep and she puts a spell on her so she's in a really deep sleep. When we do go out we like to fly around the town and just race each other until Aunt Luna calls is back.
Wait a sec..... where are my manners...., mom would kill me if she knew that I wasn't being polite. My name is Kasper Outland Blaze. The two that I'm playing football with are my twin brothers, Solaris Zeus Blaze and Flareinight Jupiter Blaze. We are the triplet sons of the one and only Princess Celestia. We were born on the 15th of September of 2020 at two o'clock in the morning. When we were 3, we found out that we could shape-shift. Mom said it was because of our father that we could do this little act of difference. Plus she said that we have holes in us because of our father wasn't a usual person, he was one of the most caring and lovable person she knew. When ever mom talks about dad, she gets this sad glimmer on her eyes as if she was going to cry. My brothers and I wasn't always sure on how to handle the situation when she did cry. She would always go to her room and lock herself in and cry to sleep. I remember a time where I teleported into her room and saw her crying her eyes out all while clutching a picture of her and dad. At that instant I ran to her and held her in my arms. She said that we reminded her so much of him. I am his happiness, Solar was his quiet and calculations, and Flare was his rage and anger when someone threatened him, mom, or us. Anyways, on with the story.
Today is our birthday and today we wanted to know what exactly happened to our father.
"Alright guys, huddle up!" I yelled after I managed to score a goal
"Awwww yeah time to plan!" Flare yelled as he ran towards me
"Flare...... shut up or mom will catch on" Solar hissed at him while glaring daggers at him
"Okay okay..... break it up guys. We have more important things to worry about." I whispered to them when they were close enough "Today we're going to finally find out what happened to dad and why mom is always so sad when she talks about him."
"Are you sure she'll be able to handel the pressure?"
"Yeah. I mean the last time we mentioned dad was when we were ten and that was when you ran after her and held her until she fell asleep." said Flare
"I know but we have the right to know what happened." I told them.
"Hey mom?" I asked as we were sitting at the dinner table.
"Yes Kasper? Is there something wrong with your steak? she asked
"No no. The steak is amazing, right guys?" I asked my brothers
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" was the only thing that Flare said.
"He means yes Kas" said Solar as he ate gracefully while Flare attacked his steak like a cheetah on a zebra.
"Then what's the matter? You look like something is bothering you" she said with a frown
"It's.....well....What happened to dad?" I said quickly
Aunt Luna spat out the wine she was drinking while mom looked at us confused. It took her a while to understand what I just said. When her mind caught up to her ears, she looked down at her plate. I could have sworn that I saw the glimmer of a tear in the corner of her eye. Solar and Flare looked up at her while we all waited for an answer.
"I was afraid this day would come and prayed that it never did." she stated sadly
"Tia, they have the right to know. Its been 25 years since Ball...." Aunt Luna said as her voice trailed off.
I know, Iknow." mom said with a sigh. "Boys, follow me. It's about time you three learned about your father, Fireball."
Mom lead us into her secret chamber where had so many pictures of her and this man who looked like a changeling. They looked so happy together that it was hard to imagine what went wrong. There was one where mom was in a wedding dress and the man was in a tux, and they were kissing for the camera. And then there was a picture were mom was holding two bundles while one laying next to her. Plus mom seemed to be crying in the picture because her eyes were red and her checks were shining.
Your father, Fireball, was a changeling. He was sent by the Queen of the changelings in order to get close to me so the Queen could find a way to overthrow me and rule all of Equestria. When we met, Fireball looked like the type of person who liked to fight just because it was fun. As I got to know him, I found out that he was really a nice person with a strange personality. Plus his hair was was amazingly crazy. He told me that he got his name from his hair." she said chuckling at the memory. "That's the reason why your hair isn't normal. His hair was long and it had all three of your colors in it. When he was happy, it turned red. When he was quite or when he watched me, his hair turned green. But when he was mad at someone or frustrated, his hair turned blue." she said as she turned around and walked over to a giant stained glass window. It had a picture of a man with bid red wings that holes in them plus he had holes in his arms and legs and he seemed to be watching us as if to say "I finally see my boys and the look just like me."
"So that's why our hair is like this! exclaimed Flare in glee.
Solar and I glared at him while mom and Aunt Luna chuckled at his little display. They then burst out laughing when Solar and I looked at them like we were the adults telling them not to encourage him.
"They look just like Ball when he would tell me not to encourage you to be the one to start a fencing match!" Aunt Luna siad between laughs.
"Wait a minute" I said as they stopped laughing. "Dad used to fence?"
"Of course he did." Aunt Luna exclaimed as she threw her arms in the air. "He was one damn good opponent, plus why do you three think you like blades and are so good at using them?"
"I always thought that we learned that from mom." Solar said as he looked at me for help.
"Well, we can talk about this in the morning." mom said as she made her way to the door. "Right now we all must get some rest."
"Race ya! Flare said to Solar who accepted and proceeded to run for our room.
Mom and Aunt Luna left me in the room alone. I looked at the Window with my dad on it and wondered why he wasn't here. The only thing I got was a strange shift in the temperature as I looked at him. It was as if he was standing right next to me. I turned my head to my right and saw nothing. But when I turned to the left, I saw a man looking at the window with me.
"Who the hell are you?!?" I asked as I got into my battle stance.
He looked at me and when I saw his eyes, I somehow knew exactly who it was.
"Dad?"
When I told my brothers about dad showing up after everyone left, the called me crazy because they said that dad would have showed up when mom was talking about him. But when I told them that I knew it was him because his eyes had our colors, they had fell silent. That's when I knew I had to show them. So after we had left the room from watching our favorite movie for the umpteenth time we made our way to the secret chamber. When we were inside with the door closed, the room got much colder. I looked at the sopt where I saw dad left and saw him looking at me with a smile on his face. I nudged Solar and Flare to look, and when they did, Solar fainted and Flare just woke him up and asked.....
"Dad?"
He simply said" Hello boys, it's good to finally meet you three!" as he smiled.
