Chapter 2: You dont need me anymore
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Cadence not that I dont love you but... why do I have to go to school?... again" Lee asked his sister as they stood infront of Crystal Prep Academy. Lee was also wearing a boys crystal prep uniform only difference was that he had his sleeves rolled up, "Because you know Im supposed to be like, thirty-seven right now" He added. This wasnt this first suprising thing he had to know.
(One day ago)
"Um cadence who's this girl sitting on your couch?" Lee asked seeing a pink skined girl with purple and white curly hair and wearing a black shirt, yellow jacket, a grey skirt with black shorts sticking out of them and yellow boots and she looked to be around fifteen.
"Oh diamond when did mom drop you off?" Cadence asked walking over to the girl and huged her.
"Mom dropped me off just a little while ago said that you went to go see our brother I think... who's that?" Diamond asked seeing lee walk in and close the door.
"Oh thats right you two never met well diamond this is your brother lee stone"
"What?! My Sister/brother?!" Lee and diamond shouted and stared at eachother.
"H-how did... when did mom have another kid?!" Lee asked cadence.
"Well I think it was a few years after her second wedding and while you were still asleep in cryogenic pod" Cadence said and lee's eye twitched a bit now knowning he has two little sisters.
"Who did mom re-marry too?" Lee asked now sitting down
"A guy named Filthy Rich nice guy as well, he met mom at her work and it sailed on from their" Cadence said and lee sighed. "Whats wrong?" She asked lee who looked at the ceiling.
"Ah its just... I missed so much, mom getting married again, having another little sister and missing her birthdays, missing you grow up the way you are now and missing your birthdays... I wish I was their you know" Lee said in a sad tone, cadence walked over and hugged her brother.
"I know you missed alot but your back arent you and that means you can re-live your life with your sisters, now c'mon we gotta go cloths shopping for diamond and yourself" Cadence said confusing lee.
"Why?" Lee asked and not liking were this is going.
"Well since your still seventeen that makes you a minor that also means that you will need to attend school again"
(The present: inside the school)
"Cadence Im not sure I should be in a school of teenagers, because mainly Im not really a teenager" Lee said as they both walked down the halls heading for cadence's office and getting stares from other students along the way.
"Oh calm down will you as of now you are seventeen and nothing will change that now c'mon we gotta get you your schedule alright" Cadence said opening her office door and they bithed entered as the door closed itself but just before it did, lee looked back and saw a girl with pale blue skin, pruple and pink hair, magenta colored eyes wore a small sun flare as a hair pin, she wore the crystal prep girl uniform but her skirt seemed a bit longer and she wore some weird braces on her wrists but all in all she was really cute. the door closed and lee broke from his little trance and sat down in a chair. "Just give me a second to get everything ready alright" Cadence said as she tyoed away at her computer, lee looked around the office and saw a picture of cadence his mom and diamond with filthy rich next to Lee's mom, thats when he saw a picture of himself in his military uniform holding his bag in one hand and a gun in the other, on his uniform was his name stitch on their.
'Lee your sister is trying to get your attention" Deity said and snapped him out of the little trance again and turned back to cadence who was holding a peice of paper to him.
"Here this is your class schedule I walk you to your class so you wont get turned around in the halls" Cadence said getting up again as did lee and they both left the room just as the bell rang, when the student were leaving he saw that girl again this time at him before walking off to her class. "Lee you alright?" Cadence asked lee who nodded.
"Yeah Im fine... lets head to my class" Lee said and they both started walking to lee class, lee felt as though he was being watched but brushed it as they arrived infront of his class. Cadence opened the door and the teacher stoped his lecture as he saw cadence and lee walking in.
"Hello everyone sorry to intrude but we have a new student who is actually my brother, his name is lee stone and like all of you he is very smart so please welcome him here with kindness I'll let you handle it from here lee" Cadence said and walked out the room leaving lee stranded by himself.
"Lee you might wanna take a seat man" Deity said, lee was about to start over to the back but someone raised their hand.
"Uh... yeah?" Lee asked the boy.
"Are you really dean cadence's brother?" The boy asked lee and he nodded.
"Uh yeah I've been... gone for a long time dealing with some personal things but Im back so I want to make amends with my sisters for being gone for so long" Lee said and another hand shot up then another then another. "Um you over their whats your question?"
"What happened to your hand?" The girl asked and I looked down to my missing hand.
"Well I lost it when I was put into a cryogenic pod, the blood stop flowing and well either take it off or lights out for good" Lee said and chose another person.
"How old are you cause you look like your a junior like us" The girl asked lee and he was wondering how to play this off.
"Um... Im seventeen" Lee said with uncertainty since he knew his actual age, the girl seemed satisfied and accepted the answer thats when lee saw no other hands and he walked down the rows of students to the back of the class. Lee sighed in relief as he sat down and droped his bag to the floor, hearing the teacher start his lecture made lee tired and so he decided for a little nap so he can focus later, lee closed his eyes and started to sleep but felt someone poke his cheek he batted the hand away then tried to sleep again only for the hand to return.
"Wake up your not supposed to be sleeping in class" lee heared a girl say making his eyes open up and saw the girl from earlier staring right at him. Lee lifted his body up and looked at the girl for a second before going back to his nap, "I said wake up!" She shouted and kicked lee in the leg causing him to yelp in pain.
"What the hell was that for?!" Lee asked angry at the girl for kicking him.
"Oh I dont know how about ignoring me for one and two your sleeping in the middle of class thats very disrespectful you know!" The girl shouted at lee, and before he could say anything the teacher slamed the book down on the table.
"Ms. Flare and Mr. Stone I want both of you out of my classroom and head striaght to deans cadence's office this instant do I make myself clear" The teacher said sternly scaring flare but not lee he's had worse.
"Oh is that all ya got I've been yelled at far worse than you man hell I bet you never been yelled at soldier before" Lee said getting up and walking infront of the teacher. "I'll show you how a soldier yells when someone is disrespectful *Large inhale*... DONT TALK DOWN TO ME LIKE A BRAT YOU UNDERSTAND ME MAGOT!" Lee shouted as loud as he can and scared half the classroom even the teacher hid behind his desk. "Thats how a soldier yells... I feel an evil approach us" Lee said and faced the door were he saw a black figure with red eyes and giving off an evil aura, the door swung open and in came cadence who looked royal pissed off.
"Lee... come with me, along with you sunny flare" Cadence said grabbing lee by the collar and dragging him out of the classroom while sunny flare slowly followed behind.
"C-Cadence look this is a huge misunderstanding" Lee tried to talk some sense into her but felt a sharp pain to the back of his head. "Help... Help, someone anyone heeeeellppp!" Lee cried out as he was dragged into his sisters office with sunny. Lee was pushed back into a chair and he has never felt more scared in his life, sunny sat next to him both scared and angry at lee.
"Three... two... one" Cadence counted down as the door closed with a click and thats when she exploded. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW LEE ONE DAY ONE GOD DAMN DAY AND YOU SCREWED IT I DONT KNOW HOW BUT YOU SURE FUCKED THIS UP!!!" She screamed at him at the top of her lungs.
"C-Cady c'mon its me your brother just calm down and- aw crap" Lee said then felt his body go through a wall.
"Lee are you alright? I just barely had enough time to put up a protective barrier when your sister threw you through a wall" Deity said as lee sat up groaning and seeing the hole and he realized he was outside the school and students could see him sitting their in a daze. "I suggest you run lee" Deity said and lee heared footsteps coming near him, he turned to see cadence with killing intent.
"Yup deity you are so right!" Lee yelled and booked it down the street not even looking back to see if she was chasing him. As he ran he pushed peoplw out of the way and saw from afar a school with a horse statue infront. "Fuck it maybe its a little safer there than back with cadence" Lee said to himself and ran into the school were he saw the halls empty except for a lone man walking about the halls, he look 6'0, had combed back white hair, a white goatee, mismatch eyes, in his mid thirties and wore a black suite with white sleeves and white pants.
"Whoa whats the rush kiddo you late to school or somethin?" The man asked stopping lee in his tracks.
"Sorry... just... give me a second... just running from my sister" Lee said feeling worn out, the man laughed and sat lee down on a bench to rest.
"Whats your name kid?" The man asked.
"Lee... lee stone whats your man?" Lee asked the man.
"My names discord and I run two schools, though Im not the principals" Discord said sitting next to lee. "So private lee stone of the old us military... what brings you here other than running from your sister?" Discord asked lee who stared at him in shock.
"How did you know who I was?" Lee asked discord who took out a picture and held it to lee, lee grabbed the picture and saw himself with his team and holding a kid with white on his shoulder. "What the hell... how did you-?"
"My father... was your commander lee and that boy is me just before you left all those years ago, you know its odd that im the adult now while your the kid" Discord said laughing, lee looked back at the photo and then back at discord he did this for a bit until he started to remember seeing a boy just like him.
"Sorry discord but only grown ups can go" Lee said and ruffled up a small discords hair, "Besides I need you to look after my sister little guy I know you two have been close for years so do this favor man" Lee said kneeling down.
"But Im not sure if she'll be happy about this... what do I tell her that her only brother and my best friend was killed or worse?" Discord asked and lee gave a small laugh before standing back up.
"Just tell her that I will come back to her one way or another" Lee said picking up his bag and gun.
"Here let me take a picture for her at least" Discord said and pulled out his camera, Lee gave a small smile and discord took the picture.
"Oh my god... discord your..." Lee said now in shock seeing his old little friend after so many years.
"Yup... Im still kickin, not gonna lie got shot by my old girlfriend but my new one is way better" Discord said getting up and lifting a bit of his dress shirt to show a scar on the side of his chest, he put down the shirt and sat back down. "No way Im dating another girl like that, matter how beautiful she is cause my girl is all need" discord said leaning back lee chuckled seeing his old friend all grown up.
"Ah ya little bugger, your still the same you as you were back then... thanks for takin care of cadence, it doesn't seem she needs me to look after her anymore... she's all grown up and I missed it all" Lee said sighing discord saw his sadness and he couldnt blame him for being sad he missed the birth of his new sister and all her birthdays and well seeing her grow up.
"Lee I had to watch you sleep painfully in a ice pod for years, I could almost feel your pain from one losing your almost all your team and thinking your sister had hated you for everything, for leaving her in her hardest time, for not being at your mothers re-marriage wedding, seeing you other sister... this is what cadence was feeling for a very long time and at times almost wished you were dead... but every time she see's your face and remembers everything that you've done just for her and your family, she cant help but cry" Discord said and lee felt even more terrible.
"I thought you were gonna cheer me up runt" Lee said sarcastically and leaned on his hand, discord laughed heartedly and slapped lee back.
"Aw you thought... but seriously just remember you did everything for her and now that you've done everything for her now its time to do everything for yourself and your little sister... enjoy your second life you maybe be thirty-seven in your mind but your body and soul is still a seventeen year old boy" Discord said getting up and thats when the bell rang. "Well I must be off here take this... that school were your at is not the place for you" He said handing lee a peice of paper before walking off and gretting students.
"That runt, didnt even change one bit now lets take a look at this... transfer papers were the hell did he-"
"Hey uh do you come here dude?" Lee heared a girl say, he looked up from his paper and was just inches away from a girl with orange skin, spike hair that was almost like a Hedgehogs back and looked to be up to lee chest, she had orange eyes like shiny orange stones, the girl wore blue and yellow shirt that hugged her along with her shorts. Lee couldnt help but just stare her dead in the eye until he felt someone poke his cheek he turned to see a girl with pale blue skin, wearing the same stuff as the girl infront of him now and with rainbow hair and magenta eyes.
"Hey your wearing a crystal prep uniform... are you here to sabotage the fall formal this year?" The rainbow girl asked lee who just looked down to his paper.
"Nah... im not part of crystal prep... not anymore, see ya later skittles you to tictac I gotta talk with my sister for a transfer" Lee said getting up and walking away leaving the two girls confused about the nick names.
"Skittles?" The orange girl said.
"Tic-tac?" The rainbiw girl said, they both shrugged hefore heading off to their gym class, lee was walking to his home not wanting to go back to that boring school. When he got home he unlocked the door then locked it before going upstairs and sat on his bed.
"Only reason I went to that boring school was to keep an eye on cadence to make sure she wasnt hurt but... she's all grown up now, nothin a brother can do now other than wish her luck" Lee said and sighed, he looked at the transfer papers and thought of what discord said.
"Enjoy your second life you maybe thirty-seven in your mind but your body and soul is still a seventeen year old boy" Deity played through my head.
"Thanks bud" Lee said and he went to his desk before grabbing a pen and writting down his whole name, date of birth with mild changes, his gender, and his family's phone numbers all he needed to do now is get cadence to sign the paper and he'll officially be part of that school discord talk about. Lee looked at the top and it said 'Canterlot highschool transfer papers'.
"Lee is this the right thing to do?" Deity asked lee who looked at his paper's, if he did this than he's branching away from his sister and starting his own life in the school that actually seem's fun.
"Fuck it... she's all grown up and she doesn't need me" Lee said put the pen down, now it was time to play the waiting game.
(Timeskip)
Lee was just finishing taking a shower until he heared a bang on the door, "Lee we need to talk" Cadence said with an angry tone, lee turned off the water and dried himself off before putting on boxes and some black jeans. He opened the door and started walking to his room with cadence following, "Lee listin to me I know your nit use to being back and all but you cant just snap at the teachers like that luckily ms. Cinch is giving you another chance to redeem yourself so dont mess it up" Cadence said and saw lee leanijg over his desk and looking at a paper. "What are looking at lee?"
"Cadence... Im your big brother and for my job as your bug brother I have to keep an eye on you, but I see now that you now dont need me anymore... my job ended the second you became an adult and what am I l?! A kid still so I decided on something... Im switching schools to actually enjoy my new life" Lee said and handed cadence the filled out paper.
"B-But... why?" Cadence asked him.
"Like I said cadence your all grown up now and you dont need me to look after you anymore... and this was something an old friend told me, 'enjoy your second life you maybe be thirty-seven in your mind but your body and soul is still a seventeen year old boy', and you know what I am going to enjoy it because its something that I never got to experience before" Lee said sat on his bed.
"Are... are you sure lee what if something happens to you again, what if everyoje doewnt except you, what if-"
"Cadence... stop, I can take care of myself when the time comes alright, so please... sign the papers and let me enjoy my second life" Lee asked pulling his mask over his and laying on his bed, cadence looked at the papers then lee and finally sighed, she knew lee was right and this might be his only chance for a real life he never had since he's takin care of her and their mother for years without a break.
"Your right... you've been working for as long as I could remember, you were always tired and didnt play with me when we were kids and you never had time for school but still made me go, you took care of mom and me for years and almost died to get the cancer money to have me treated for it... I think its time I payed you back for everything you've done for us and it starts with this" Cadence said and grabbed one of the pens before signing her name in guardian. "Huh you even changed your date of birth... Well now no one will find out your true age" Cadence said smirking and lee laughed a bit.
"Well dont wanna chase off the girls do we" Lee said and they both laughed, that was the first time they ever laughed together and sure wont be the last time, because lee is going to start his new life this time without leaving them.
