Previous Chapter

As the celebrations were wrapped up, and the guests left, the grads said their finall good-byes before they left for home. Broken Reign and Rusty headed towards home themselves. The two freinds have been buddies since kindergarden, when Rusty beat the crap out of some punk trying to steal Broken Riegn's lunch money. they've been at each other's side for 13 years now, always gotten each other's backs. "wow, i miss the good all time, like when we stuffed roaches in the jock's lockers in 7th grade!" Rusty joked, walking beside Reign. "yeah, and when that snot-nosed prick in 10th stole your milk, but it was the one we spiked with sour sprite dust!" Broken Reign laughed. The two talked about their memories till a fork in the road with a rusting, old sign that pointed right and left. each branch on the pole had a rotting sigh, either saying, " Agustiine family ranch", or, "Florinte's road, Tryir's household.". they both knew it might be a while before they saw each other again, so they both looked at each other, smiled, laughed, and shook hooves."see you later, bro" Broken Reign turned and went towards his family's ranch.

Broken Reign put in his earbuds and listened to the foriegn music of Equestria. the first time he heard the music was with his cousin, Vinny. They were walking through the market and someone had a shop opened up just for records and CD's. Reign wasn't into music that much, so it was just a walk-through of the place. But, then he heard a song on the intercom, and he immediately feel in love. he ran to the counter and asked the clerk standing there what it was. She told him it was just a couple of artist in Equestria named Vinyl Scratch and Octavia. he bought all there music and a MP3 and ever since then, he hardly ever doesn't have his music blearing in his head. He always wondered what it would be like if he met them. But, he also they might be as stuck up as Candis. He came to the top a hill, overlooking the ranch house. Broken Reign smiled as he saw his family preparing dinner, since black smoke was raising from the chimney. " No doubt they got somthin' planned for me when i get in." Reign mumbled to himself. he started to gallop to the front door. When he reached it, he steeled his nerves for a suprise or something, and flung the door open. What he got was a faceful of flying brothers." hey, Reign, you're finally home!" the two colts chimed together."Hey boys, get off your brother. its dinner time almost. go get washed up." Honey Comb told her children. Blaze and Kniks hopped off Broken Reign and raced up the stairs. "hey, ma, how's work?" Riegn hugged his mother and helped set the table. As they did that, Agus walked threw the door, trailing mud from the field. "Now, hon.." Honey Comb sighed. Agus looked at his hooves and laughed and went to wash up as well. Vinny came down the stairs, being trailed by the boys and dog. "Hey, cuz, hows the newly grad?" Vinny play-shoved Riegn into the counter. Broken Reign laighed and retaliated, pushing his older cousin into the living room, were Dike, the family dog, was just getting comfortable. He yelped as the two guys threw each other around the room. "You two better stop your crap, or so help me, ill shove my hoof so far up yer a--" Agus shouted down from the stairs, right before the two others decided to come running down for dinner.

"So... whats next for you, cuz?" Vinny asked while the family was eating. "Well, I dont know exactly. I got a firm enough job at Pop's Pub. Was thinking on college or--" Agus choked on a piece of beef when Reign said "college".

College. The bane of the Agustiine Family. Not one person in the family dared to even utter the word. Not since Great granddad's  mysterious disappearance from the College of Brewery. Pop's made up a story to help him cope with the reality of his father "abandoning" him and his mother. Agus didn't believe in the stupid thing and went to the college of Smithing. While there, weird crap happened, enough to scare the shit out of him to come back home. Broken Reign thought about college for a while, but never told his parents about it, understandably.

Agus coughed up what was stuck and swallowed, looking striaight at his eldest child. "College? you know that curse DOES apply to you to, right?"

"Dad, yes. i know it still applies, but you know my view on it. I dont care, im going." Broken Reign stood up and put his plate in the sink. "hey, where you going?" Agus threw back his chair in anger. Broken Reign stoped at the top of the stairs and looked back over his shoulder. "i got things to think 'bout, night." Broken Reign flopped and stared at the ceiling. tomarrow well hopfully be better. Maybe....  eventually fell asleep in a deep stupor, and he started to dream....
