Familyby ArtistChaptersThe wedding anniversaryThe return of Lightning Dash and a weekend at uncle Discord'sThe return of Nightmare moon's spirit.Drama at the Grand Galloping Gala.Heart's warming eveThe wedding anniversaryIt was a nice fall day in Ponyville, the Main 6 and their families were all at Sugarcube corner, because it was Nick and Cumulus’s wedding anniversary. Nick and Cumulus had been married for a year now. “Let’s get this party started” A pink earth pony with a puffy pink mane said, in excitement she was bouncing up-and-down. “Yes, let’s do this” a stallion with a brown coat and brown hair said. “Cinnamon stick, your aunt Pinkie has done a very awesome job” a human with a leather jacket on and with black hair and brown eyes said. “Thanks, Nick” Pinkie Pie called out of nowhere. Nick looked confused for a moment because he thought Pinkie was standing beside him and then said “your welcome.” “Hey guys, come look at this, there’s an article in the newspaper about somepony called Stephen Hawking” A lavender alicorn sitting at a table called. “Not now Twilight can’t you see were busy” Nick called back. Twilight rolled her eyes and got up from her seat and walked over to where Pinkie pie was standing. “It says here that he and his family are coming to Equestria in a few days” Twilight continued. “Whatever we don’t care” a Orange Earth Pony with a cowboy hat on and braids in her mane said. “Why is no pony listening to me” Twilight demanded angrily stomping a hoof on the floor. “This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me” “Oh come on Twilight he is not that important” a blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane said, in annoyance. Twilight let out an annoyed grunt “Oh come on Twilight we didn’t mean it” Rainbow said, to Twilight. Sugarcube corner was decorated with streamers and things of that sort. The floor of the bakery was very nicely polished. Then there was a knock on the door, Twilight went to go see who it was. When Twilight open the door the first thing she saw was 3 Ponies in leather jackets. One of them was orange with a purple mane. While another was white with a lavender colored mane with a white streak going through it. The last pony left was yellow with a red mane with a bow in her mane. "Come on in Crusaders" Twilight told the ponies. "Hello Ponyville are you ready to party" The orange Pegasus shouted at the top of her lungs. "Hey guys look who's here" Twilight called over her shoulder to the others. "Yay" 3 Fillies with identical manes shouted in unison. One of the Filliy's had a magenta coat and the same mane color. Then there was a red Filly with the same mane color. Then there was a Filly that had a purple coat and the same mane color "So do you have any new songs?" A blue pegasus stallion asked. "No not at the moment, Soarin" The white unicorn answered. "Oh, ok, I guess we have to wait then" Soarin said, to Sweetie Belle. Everypony was still ignoring Twilight. Author's Note Please put your comments about this chapter down below. The return of Lightning Dash and a weekend at uncle Discord'sAuthor's Note This is a very long chapter in my fanfiction. Hope you like it The return of Lightning Dash and a weekend at uncle Discord's After the party: "Hey Thunder, can I ask you a question?" Cinnamon stick asked. "Sure Cinnamon stick, what is it?" Thunder Dash replied. "Thunder where is your sister Lightning Dash?" Cinnamon stick asked. At that moment, the door to Sugarcube Corner opened, all the ponies turned and looked towards the door. In the doorway staring at her family stood non other than Lightning Dash. Lightning Dash was a blue pegasus with a yellow and red main, her eyes were also blue. "Hey guys, what's up, did you miss me" Lightning Dash said, with a smile. Thunder's jaw dropped when he saw his older sister. "Lightning where have you been?, we thought you had jumped in front of a train" Rainbow Dash said, to her older daughter. "I lied about that, I was hiding at aunt Scootaloo's house" Lightning "Ok, and what about the note that you gave me?" Thunder asked. "I lied about that too, I didn't want to kill myself" Lightning cried in despair. Lightning gave her brother the note a few days ago, after she disappeared, it turned out she was just hiding at Scootaloo's house for a few days. "But the police officer told us that you had killed yourself" Soarin said, to his daughter. "No he didn't I told him to tell you that I had killed myself" Lightning said, to her parents "Lightning I can't believe that you would do something like that" Rainbow lectured her daughter. Lightning Dash hung her head in shame. "I'm so sorry guys, I probably shouldn't have done what I did" apologized Lightning to her family. "Ok Lightning we forgive you for what you did" Thunder said, with a smile. "Where's Prism?" Lightning asked with a smile. "She's at uncle Discord's and aunt Fluttershy's house" Thunder replied with a smirk. "Lightning it's good to have you back" Nick said, with a smile. "It's good to be back, I'm so sorry I ran away, and made you believe I had killed myself" Lightning said, to Nick and Cumulus. "No hard feelings" Nick said, with a smile. "We're just glad you're ok" Cumulus added, before giving her niece a hug. "I was told today's your wedding anniversary" Lightning said, to Cumulus and Nick. "Yeah that's right" Nick replied with a smile. "Congratulations, aunt Cumulus and uncle Nick" Lightning said, with a smile. "Thanks, that means a lot to us" Cumulus said, with a grin. "You're welcome" Lightning said, with a smile. "Now what?" Blueberry pie asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well we could go visit uncle Discord and aunt Fluttershy, and Screwball" Lightning said, with a smile. "That's a splendid idea" Gemstone said, with a smile. The tri-pies cheered. "Well let's go" Cinnamon stick said, to his friends. "This weekend at uncle Discord's is going to be so awesome" Lightning said, with a grin. Lightning's friends were already standing at the door waiting for Lightning Dash to come join them. Once outside: The friends were walking towards the everfree forrest. "So Lightning what do you think we're going to be doing at uncle Discord's?" Gemstone asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know, but I'm sure we'll find out more information when we get there" Lightning replied with a smile. "Ok that's good enough for me" Gemstone said, with a smile at Lightning Dash. As the friends reached the edge of the everfree forrest they could see the path to uncle Discord's castle. Discord and Fluttershy had been happily married and had two kids Screwball and Zany. "Come on y'all" Cinnamon roll said, to her friends. The seven friends were walking along the path when they heard a sound like no other, the sound was coming from Discord's castle, Cinnamon roll and Cinnamon stick started running towards the sound. "Come on guys, follow us" Cinnamon stick yelled over his shoulder at the others. "Yeah now you're talking" Lightning Dash said, as she started running. The others followed Lightning Dash. When they had finally reached the castle, the big gate of the castle opened, and the seven friends walked inside. "WOW" Gemstone said, as she looked at her uncle Discord's castle for the first time. "Welcome to my world, come in" Discord said, to his nieces and nephews. "Hey uncle Discord who are we going to meet today?" Cinnamon stick asked his uncle. "I have just the guy for you to meet" Discord said, as he teleported his nieces and nephews into his castle. "Awesome what's his name?" Lightning asked with a raised eyebrow. "You're about to find out" Discord said, as he stood in his living room. Discord put his fingers in his mouth and whistle and then as if on cue a boy in a wheelchair came round the corner. "There he is" Discord said, to the boy. The boy smiled at the ponies. "What's your name?" Thunder asked the boy. It took a while for the boy to reply. "Hi I'm William, I'm the son of the great scientist Stephen Hawking" the boy said, with a smile. William has severe cerebral palsy, this means that William's speech is slurred, so it may be difficult to understand William sometimes. "So you're the son of Stephen Hawking, that must be cool" Thunder said, to William. "No it's not cool." "What, oh come on, are you telling me that living with Stephen Hawking isn't awesome" Thunder said, to William. "No it isn't awesome it's terrible at times" William said, with a grimace. "Sugar it sounds like ya don't like your dad very much" Cinnamon roll said, to William. "My mom and dad are going through a divorce, so you can imagine that I am not happy with my parents right now" William said, with a sigh. Thunder blinked. "Did I understand you correctly?, your parents are going through a divorce" Thunder said, to William. "That's right" William replied with a sigh. "So William why are you in Equestria in the first place?" Thunder asked. "Well before my parents filed for divorce my parents and I came to Equestria because my father had business in Equestria, and now we live here" William said, to Thunder. Thunder could tell that it was very difficult for William to talk about his parent's divorce. "Oh my, you poor dear" Gemstone said, when William had finished his story. "Sugarcube is there anythin' we can do?" Cinnamon roll asked. "Yes there is something you can do, you can talk to my parents and try to get them to talk to each other again" William said, to Cinnamon roll. "Ok, I'll try to get your parents to talk to each other again but I can't make any promises, alright?" Cinnamon roll said, to William. "Ok let's do this" William said, with a grin. Meanwhile back at Sugarcube corner: "We should totally invite Stephen Hawking and his wife" Rainbow Dash said, with a smile. "Awesome let's do this" Spike said, with a grin. Then there was a knock on the door, Twilight went to open the door. Gemstone, Cinnamon roll, Cinnamon stick, the tri-pies, the Dash siblings, Screwball and a boy Twilight had never seen before were standing outside the door. "Aunt Twilight, we brought someone for you to meet" Screwball said, with a smile at William. "Ok I also have someone I'd like you to meet" Twilight said, with a smile. "Awesome who is it?" Prism asked. "Sugarcube corner presents the one and only Stephen Hawking" Pinkie Pie announced. Stephen Hawking hed a disability called Amyotrophic lateral also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and neurone disease (MND), is a specific disease that causes the death of neurones which control voluntary muscles, that basically means that Stephen is paralyzed and also the disease robbed him of his natural voice. William grimaced as his father came in to the room. "Why did you bring my father here?" William asked. "Because y'all need to talk to your father again" Cinnamon roll said, with a glance at Stephen Hawking. "Hello son I haven't seen you in a while" Stephen Hawking said, to William. "Whatever you don't really care about me anyway" William replied coldly. "William I love you so much" Stephen said, to his son. "Yeah right according to my mother you don't love me" William yelled at his father. Stephen's care giver gave William a look of disappointment. "Stay out of this" William yelled at his father's care giver. "Not cool dude" Nick said, to William. "Fine if you think you can do better, go ahead" William said, to Nick. "Ok I will" Nick said, with a smirk. "Stephen I think you need to talk to your wife about this" Nick said, to Stephen Hawking. "Why should I even care?, she was the one to leave, I didn't want her to leave me alone" Stephen Hawking said, to Nick. "Drama" Gemstone whispered to Lightning Dash. "You said it" Lightning whispered back. "Stephen y'all need to calm down a bit" Cinnamon roll said, putting a hoof on Stephen's shoulder. "Very well then" Stephen replied. "William ya need to say you're sorry" Cinnamon roll said, turning to face William. "Fine" William said, to Cinnamon roll. "Dad I'm so sorry that I yelled at you" William said, to his father. "My behavior wasn't any better, I'm also very sorry son" Stephen said, to William. "Aww isn't it just so sweet" Gemstone said, to Lightning. "Well it's been a while since I last seen you my son" Stephen said, with a smile. "I'll drink to that" Stephen's care giver said, with a smile. The return of Nightmare moon's spirit."Listen up, I must tell you a story, this happened before Celestia and Luna, so gather around for I will now tell you the story of the evil lord of darkness" Twilight said, as Stephen's care giver got himself a beer. Twilight cleared her throat and began reading. Once a upon a time, there was only darkness, behind all of the darkness was a beast, her name was Nightmare Moon but after Celestia and Luna were born, Celestia and Luna drove Nightmare Moon away, but it was said that Luna actually was Nightmare Moon, but the prophecy of Nightmare Moon was wrong, Luna was never Nightmare Moon. "So all we have been learning about Nightmare Moon had been wrong, so if Nightmare Moon lived before Celestia and Luna, this means Nightmare Moon had always lived and never died" Twilight said, when she had finished reading. "So if Luna wasn't Nightmare Moon who was?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know" Twilight replied. Stephen raised an eyebrow to try and get Twilight's attention, when Twilight noticed that Stephen was looking at her, she walked over to Stephen. Stephen didn't have his computer with him at the moment, so he has a communication board, with which to talk, Stephen has to spell out exactly what he wants to say, it can be difficult sometimes. "I W-want b-e-e-r" Stephen said, with his Communication board. That same night: Twilight had a nightmare about Nightmare Moon. In the dream: "Twilight,Twilight you must help me" Celestia said, in a far off voice. As Celestia finished speaking, Twilight heard a evil laugh, and then a dark shadow came out of the darkness, when Twilight saw who it was, she got scared. "Nightmare Moon" Twilight said, darkly. "Somepony who remembers me, then you also know why I'm here" Nightmare Moon said, with an evil grin. Twilight gulped. "WHERE IS CELESTIA" Twilight yelled. "If you ever want to see Celestia again, you'll have to bow down before me" Nightmare Moon said, with an evil laugh. "I WIll NEVER BOW DOWN TO YOU" Twilight yelled. Twilight woke up screaming: Twilight got out of bed and walked down the hall to Stephen Hawking's room and knocked on the door, Stephen's care giver opened the door a crack. "What the hell Twilight, it's 5 am" Stephen's care giver said, with an annoyed look on his face. "I need to talk to Stephen Hawking" Twilight said, to Stephen's care giver. "Can't that wait until morning?" Stephen's care giver asked. "Yeah I guess" Twilight replied with a sigh. After Stephen's care giver closed the door, Twilight went back to her room, as Twilight got into bed she thought she could hear Stephen's care giver getting up. Why was he getting up in the middle of the night?. Nopony knows.... Twilight felt like a failure because Stephen's care giver send her away, Twilight felt sad and lonely, Twilight went to Stephen's room because he was the only one Twilight could trust, because her friends don't understand her problems, like Stephen does. In the morning: Twilight woke up at around 7:00, Twilight got up and went downstairs into the dining hall, where her friends were preparing breakfast, Stephen and his care giver were also in the dining hall, Stephen's care giver scowled at Twilight, Twilight rolled her eyes. "T-this has to s-stop now" Stephen spelled out on his communication board. "Twilight Stephen is right ya two need to put your differences aside, and work together as a team" Applejack said, to Twilight. "Why is Stephen always right?" Twilight asked. Applejack shrugged and went to see what her husband and kids were doing. "S-o w-h-a-t n-o-w?" Stephen asked. "Where is your care giver?, shouldn't he be translating for you?" Twilight asked. "He get my computer, so I talk to you" Stephen said, with his communication board. "Awesome, so you can talk to us without having to spell out every single word" Cumulus said, to Stephen. Stephen raised an eyebrow to say yes. "Hey guys I'm back" Stephen's care giver said, once he had opened the door. "As everypony already knows in a week is the Grand Galloping Gala, and Stephen and John are invited" Twilight said, with a smile at Stephen's care giver. Stephen's care giver's name is John. The ponies and Stephen and John were all in Twilight's castle, but Stephen's son William wasn't there because he was back at his mother's house, because she was very sick, so William had to take care of her, or so he thought. Meanwhile back at his mother's house: Jane's house was very elegantly designed, the house is a Mansion because Stephen had bought that house with the money from his father. The Hawking family was rich that was before Stephen and Jane filled for divorce. "William my dear can you believe it's been over a year since I've seen you" Jane said, to her son. "Mother I thought you were sick" William said, to his mother. I lied about being sick, "I didn't want your father to know that I was leaving him" Jane said, to her son. "So that's why you are filed for divorce" William said, to his mother. "Yes my dear, your father and I didn't love each other anymore like we did when you were a baby" Jane said, with a sigh. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD LIE TO ME" William yelled as he barreled his way to the front door; With all his might he flung open the door and wheeled himself outside and pushed himself as hard as he can, and didn't stop until he got to Twilight's castle. "William what's wrong?" Twilight asked once she had closed the door. "It's my mother, I think something is wrong with her, father she's leaving you" William said, to his father. A single tear ran down Stephen's face, indicating that he was sad, Apple Bloom took notice of that and walked over to Stephen. "Let me handle this" she said, to John. "Ok, if you're sure that you can handle it" John said, to Apple Bloom. "Sugarcube I'm pretty sure I can handle him" Apple Bloom said, to John. "Ok, he's all yours" John replied with a sigh. "What's wrong sugar?" Apple Bloom asked turning to face Stephen. "Well I guess after I heard that Jane was leaving me, I got sad that she was leaving me" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Oh sugar is there anythin' I can do to make ya feel better?" Apple Bloom asked Stephen. "No sadly there is nothing you can do for me at the moment" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Alright sugarcube but if y'all need to talk I'm always here for ya" Apple Bloom said, to Stephen, gently putting a foreleg around him. "Very well put" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Thank ya, I'm always happy to help a friend out" Apple Bloom said, with a smile. "You're very welcome Apple Bloom, I needed to hear that" Stephen said, with a smile. Stephen's words made Apple Bloom blush, then an awkward silence followed, that seemed to last forever. John was the first to break the silence. "Will somepony please tell me what the hell is going on here?" John asked with a wink at Stephen. Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. Author's Note This is the 3th chapter. Hope you enjoy. Yes I know what you're thinking: Why has Jane left Stephen? I don't know why Jane left Stephen in real life. In fact: Stephen and Jane were married in real life and had 3 kids. Stephen William Hawking and Jane Beryl Wilde are real people. Well I'll explain why she left him just like that without a warning in the 4th chapter. Drama at the Grand Galloping Gala.The next morning: A loud scream could be heard throughout the castle, the scream came from Stephen and John's room. "What's going on?" Cumulus asked once she reached Stephen and John's room. "Well this is a very interesting way of meeting Stephen Hawking" John joked. Cumulus rolled her eyes at John. "Why did you scream?" Cumulus asked Stephen. "It wasn't me that screamed it was John who screamed," Stephen said, to Cumulus. "What happened sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "I had this terrible nightmare about somepony named Nightmare moon," Stephen said, to Applejack. Twilight's eyes grew wide as she listened to every word that was spoken. "You had that same nightmare as I did," Twilight said, with a shocked expression on her face. "But it must mean something," Stephen said, to Twilight. "Hey girls the train for Canterlot leaves in 10 minutes, so you better get ready," Rarity called from her room. "Stephen I was afraid this would happen," Twilight said, as she went to get ready. "Let's get you dressed," John said, to Stephen. A couple of minutes later the ponies came back into Stephen's room, John was putting the finishing touches on Stephen's jacket, when he was done he looked up and his jaw dropped at the sight of the girls dresses the ponies where dressed in very nice dresses. Twilight's dresse was purple with blue at the bottom of the dress, Applejack's dress was brown and she was wearing boots to match the dress, Fluttershy's dress was yellow with her cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rainbow's dress was also very simple it was blue with Rainbow's cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rarity's dress was a very elegant design. Pinkie pie's was a pink dress with lollipops on it. "WOW you look amazing," John said, to the ponies. "Where are the boys?" Stephen asked. Stephen was wearing a black tuxsido. John was wearing a suit with black a stripe on each arm. "They are getting....Twilight trailed off once she saw Stephen. Twilight's jaw dropped once her eyes fell upon John. "Oh my god," Twilight thought to herself. "Hey Twilight are you alright?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah I'm fine," Twilight replied with a smile at Stephen. "Who's ready to go to Canterlot?" Scootaloo asked. "We are so excited to go to Canterlot for the Grand Galloping Gala," Cumulus and the Dash siblings exclaimed in unison. "Rock on" Stephen said, to Scootaloo. "Let's do this," John added. "Now you're talking" Spike said, to John. At the train station: "We're here!" Screwball said, to Stephen. "Yay!" the tri-pies said, in unison. "This is going to be so awesome!" Soarin said, with a smile at his wife. Pinkie Pie and her daughters were bouncing up and down in excitement. Stephen looked over and saw Applejack and Spike talking and laughing together, Stephen wished he could do the same, but yet he couldn't do what the others were doing, because of his disability. "Hey Stephen is somethin' wrong?" Cinnamon roll asked. "Sadly there is," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "What's wrong sugar?" Cinnamon roll asked. "I can not do what the others are doing because of my disability," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh sugarcube don't let that get ya down," Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen. "Thanks Cinnamon roll, I needed to hear that," Stephen said, with a smile at Cinnamon roll. "You're welcome sugar," Cinnamon roll replied with a smile. "This is going to be the best Grand Galloping Gala ever" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen once they were on the train. Once in Canterlot: "This is going to be the best night ever," John said, with a glance over at Stephen. "Yeah I know," Stephen replied with a smile. "So awesome," John added. The friends were walking up to the castle, when they reached the castle one of the royal guards opened the big castle doors. "WOW," John marveled, once they were inside and on the castle grounds. Since this was Stephen and John's first time attending the Grand Galloping Gala, Twilight had to go over the rules and recommendations, but she was hoping that tonight wouldn't be a disaster like the first Grand Galloping Gala was. "And here's to hoping that Stephen and John don't cause any trouble tonight" Twilight thought to herself as the friends were walking. Stephen smiled at Cinnamon Roll who smiled back. "So awesome," Stephen said, to John. "You took the words right out of my mouth," John said, to Stephen. "Stephen remember what we talked about on the train," Fluttershy said, to Stephen with a knowing glance. "Yes Fluttershy I will try to be on my best behavior," Stephen said, to Fluttershy. "Oh and John you shouldn't drink too much alcohol," Fluttershy said, to John with a knowing grin. "Ok Fluttershy I will try to not drink so much alcohol," John said, to the yellow pegasus. Fluttershy smiled to herself as the friends where walking into the ballroom for the castle. The ballroom was very elegantly decorated with balloons and streamers and in the middle of the ballroom stood a stage. Once inside the ballroom, where the festivities were to be held. "WOW so awesome," John said, to Stephen. Next to Stephen there stood an orange earth pony with green hair and green reptilian eyes. The colt looked up at Stephen. "Hi my name is AppleScript, what's your name?" the colt asked Stephen with a smile. "My name is Stephen Hawking, cosmologist, physicist and something of a dreamer," Stephen said, with a smile at AppleScript AppleScript looked at Stephen confusedly because he didn't understand what Stephen meant. "Sugar I'm not sure that AppleScript understood what ya meant," Applejack said, to Stephen. " Ok whatever," Stephen said, to AppleScript "AppleScript don't bother Professor Stephen Hawking" Spike said, to his son. "It's fine," Stephen said, to Spike. "Ok if ya say so," Spike said, to Stephen. When Twilight finished greeting the guests who were attending the Grand Galloping Gala, she walked over to her friends and their families. "Where are the Dashes?" Twilight asked. "They're coming to the Grand Galloping Gala with the Wonderbolts," Screwball said, to Twilight. "And there they are," AppleScript said, pointing to the sky. The Wonderbolts landed outside on the ground in front of the castle. "But I thought that the Dash family got on the train with all of us." Stephen said, to Twilight. "Well yes they did but they got off the train before we got off," Applejack said, to Stephen. "We're here" Prism said, to her parents. "Where are the CMC, shouldn't they be at the Grand Galloping Gala too?" Thunder Dash asked his parents. "Yes, but remember that the CMC are going to perform tonight," Soarin said, to his son. "Oh yeah that's right" Thunder said, to his father as they were walking in to the ballroom. Once the Dash family was in the ballroom: "Rainbow Dash I missed you so much," Pinkie Pie said, as she hugged Rainbow tightly. "Pinkie I missed you too," Rainbow said, once Pinkie had let go of her. "Ya know it's almost heart's warmin' eve," Applejack announced. "This year is going to be so awesome, because Stephen and John will be there as well," Soarin said, with a smile at Stephen. "Oh yeah, rock on," Stephen said, with a smile. "He's a big fan of the CMC, so he's practicing for their concert tonight," John legend. "Well I'm also a really big fan of the CMC, especially my Aunt Scootaloo," Prism happiy announced. Stephen rolled his eyes and said: "Yeah I know, you talk about her all the time" "Stephen there's someone here to see you," John whispered to Stephen. "Who is it?" Stephen asked. "See for yourself," John said, to Stephen as he turned Stephen's wheelchair to face his wife. Jane was wearing a dress that went down to the floor, Jane was a tall women, She had black hair and blue eyes. "What's she doing here?" Stephen asked John. "I don't know, but I assume she's here to talk to you," john said, to Stephen. Jane glared at Stephen. "Why did you do it?" Jane asked. "What did I do?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow. "You know exactly what you did, don't play innocent with me!" bellowed still glaring at Stephen. "But dearest I didn't want to hurt you," Stephen said, to Jane. "Just leave me alone," Jane yelled as she ran outside and into the Garden. Jane and Stephen weren't really talking to each other after they got married, and everything fell apart once Jane gave birth to their son, shortly after Stephen found out that they were having a baby boy, he had a nervous breakdown, after Jane was home from the hospital for a few weeks, Stephen stopped talking to Jane completely, his care givers didn't know what to do, he wouldn't eat or sleep. Applejack followed Jane out into the garden, Jane was standing in the middle of the garden and she was crying, Applejack slowly approached her from behind. "What's wrong sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "You heard all that?" Jane asked. "Y'all were pretty loud," Applejack said, to Jane. "What happened between ya two?" Applejack asked. "Well after I gave birth to our son, Stephen stopped talking to me, his care giver at the time told me that Stephen was having a nervous breakdown, but I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, so something must have happened but I was not to know of it," Jane cried. "Well why don't ya find out," Applejack mumbled. But Jane heard Applejack said that and said, "That's a good idea, thanks Applejack," "You're welcome," Applejack said, with a smile. Meanwhile: "So uncool dude," Spike lectured. "Stephen Spike's right you know, that wasn't cool at all what you did," Scootaloo added. The others nodded in agreement. "I know that I shouldn't have done what I did," Stephen said, to Scootaloo. "Then why did ya do it in the first place?" Applejack asked. They were all standing at the bar, that was set up so the ponies could get something to drink. "Well I don't really know," Stephen said, with a glance over at John, in the hope that John would help him. John took notice of that and shrugged. "I'm sorry but I can't help you with your problems with lady Jane," John said, to Stephen. Stephen rolled his eyes. "Fine," was the last thing Stephen said, before his computer shut off. "What's goin' on?" Applejack asked. "Stephen's computer has run out of juice, so that means Stephen can no longer talk until I get his charger and plug it in, but it will need sometime to get from 1 percent to 100 percent," John explained with a glance over at Stephen who didn't look happy at all. "What's wrong sugar?," Cinnamon roll asked Stephen. When there came no answer, Cinnamon roll looked at John with a big question mark in her eyes. I thought I just told you," John barked. "Whoa dude chill out," Twilight spoke in a soft tone of voice. Meanwhile: Cumulus was talking to Jane. "So I guess I understand what you're going through," Cumulus said, to Jane. "Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to tell Stephen how I feel," Jane said, to Cumulus. "Any time, if you have a problem I can help," Cumulus said, as she turned and walked away to go and find Nick. Nick was playing with the tri-pies and AppleScript. Cumulus walked towards the sound of Nick laughing, once she was close enough to hear what they were saying to each other, she cleared her throat loudly, Nick turned around to see Cumulus with her hands on her hips. "Hi Cue, we were just talking about how much drama has been going on this week," Nick said, to Cumulus. "I heard you talking about how much drama is going on this week, and I also heard you say something about this year's heart's warming eve party," Cumulus said, to her husband. "Oh yeah I almost forgot tell you what I plann for heart's warming eve this year," Nick said, to his wife. "Nick your grammar," Cumulus reminded him. "I'm sorry, its a habit," Nick said, to Cumulus. AppleScript looked at Nick with a confused look on his face. Nick took a deep breath and began telling his story. Meanwhile: The others were talking to Stephen and John. "So Stephen your really not going to apologize to Jane?" Sweetie Belle asked Stephen. "No, I won't apologize for what I did to her," Stephen replied. "Ok, if you won't say it, I will" John said, in a stern voice. "Go ahead, see if I care," Stephen said, to John. "Stephen William Hawking I don't like the way you're talking to me!" John said, putting his hands on his hips. "Your not my mother!" Stephen said, to John. John gasped at what he just heard. "Stephen I'm going to take you to your room and you're going to stay there until you've learned some respect," John lectured. "Fine, see if I care," Stephen said, as John walked away with him.

Yay I'll try to edit this as i go along but It might take a while. Heart's warming eveA week later: The ponies were all in Twilight's castle, because it was heart's warming eve, the tradition that the ponies stay overnight was around for as long as Twilight could remember, Twilight was preparing for when her friends and family came over. Applejack brought warm apple cider for them to get drunk on. "This is so awesome" Thunder Dash said, to his mother. Stephen was still grounded for what he said, to John at the Grand Galloping Gala, so that's why he wasn't invited to join the heart's warming eve party. But Jane and William were invited to the party, but John had to stay with Stephen, because he needs around the clock care. "Mom why couldn't Stephen come to the party?" AppleScript asked. "Ya know why he ain't here" Applejack replied. "Yeah" AppleScript said, with a sigh. "Let's get this party started" Cumulus said, to Scootaloo. "Yeah let's go" Scootaloo yelled at the top of her lungs. "Now we're rolling" William said, to Scootaloo. "Yeah, so awesome" Prism said, to William. "You can understand me?" William asked. "Yeah, I can, why do you ask?, me and my family have always been able to understand you" Prism said, to William. "Ok, but my speech is slurred, so how is it possible that you can understand me?" William asked with a raised eyebrow. "We once had a visit from a very close friend of my mom's, who's speech was also slurred, his name was Lucas, but his brother is married to Cumulus" Prism said, to William. William looked at Nick with a question mark in his eyes. It's long story, no time" Nick said, to William. "Ok" William said, to Nick. "Hey Nick I thought you're grammar was getting better" Rainbow said, to Nick. "Mom don't bother, I already told him that his grammar is important, so he should keep it under control" Cumulus said, to her mother. "Ok if you say so" Rainbow said, to Cumulus. "Is good thing we remember bring presents" Nick said, to Rainbow. "You said it uncle Nick" Sweetie Belle said, with a smile. "Who want listen Christmas music?" Nick asked with a smile. "Oh yeah now we're really rolling" William said, excitedly. "William remember what your dad told you" Rainbow said, to William. "Yeah I remember what he told me, and I'll try to be on my best behavior" William said, to Rainbow. "Ok, great, we're going to have lots of fun" Rainbow said, to William. When William gets excited about something, he can't control his movements, so it gets very difficult for him to talk, one must be very patient with him, one might ask him to repeat what he is saying. "We should go to Stephen's house to cheer him up a bit" Lightning said, to her brother. "Ok awesome let's go, and we can sing Christmas songs on the way" Thunder said, with a grin. "Come on, let's go" Cinnamon stick said, to his twin sister. Cinnamon roll did as she was told. Once outside: it was snowing. "This is so awesome" Lightning said, to her brother who was standing there with his mouth open. Thunder just nodded at his sister. "Come on y'all, we don't want to be late for the party" Cinnamon roll said, to her friends. "But I thought we were having the party at aunt Twilight's castle" Cinnamon stick said, to his sister. "We are, but first we need to go to Stephen's house to cheer him up" Cinnamon roll said, with a smile. "Then what are we waiting around here for?, let's go" Lightning Dash said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh yeah now we're talkin', look out Stephen here we come" Thunder Dash yelled at the top of his lungs as he started running. "Come on, let's go" Cinnamon stick yelled as he took off after Thunder and Lightning Dash. They were headed to the other side of town, because that's where Stephen and John live, they have lived there for almost a year now. Once on the other side of town: Lightning came to a stop in front of a white house that had a door with Christmas lights around the doorframe. "We're here" Cinnamon stick said, with a grin. Cinnamon roll knocked on the door. "John it's Cinnamon roll, Cinnamon stick, Lightning and Thunder Dash" Lightning said, from outside the door. "It's always open" John said, from inside the house. The 4 friends stepped inside the house. Once they were inside, John closed the door. The inside of the house was decorated with various Christmas decorations. John was wearing a shirt with a picture of a Christmas tree on it. "John what the hell are you wearing" Cinnamon stick said, with a smirk. "This is my Christmas sweater" Johnn said, with a smile. "I assume you're here to see Stephen" John said, with a smile. "Yeah that's what we're here for" Cinnamon stick said, with a nervous glance at the clock. "Right this way please" John said, to the ponies. John led the ponies through a long hallway, that was also decorated for Christmas, and then John stopped in front of a large wooden door. "Well, here we are" John said, with a grin. Then he knocked on Stephen's bedroom door. "Oh Stephen your friends are here" John said, to Stephen from outside the door. When there came no answer John opened the door. Stephen was laying on his bed, his communication device was hanging above him, whenever Stephen lays in bed, he uses a communication device called the tobii eye gaze, tobii eye gaze is a communication device that allows the user to talk with their eyes, the tobii eye gaze is for people with ALS or severe CP. "Hi Stephen, how ya doin'?" Cinnamon roll asked. "I'm not doing ok, I'm still mad at John" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh sugarcube, ya shouldn't be mad at John, he's just tryin' to help ya" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen as she walked over to his bed. "I don't care" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. Lightning Dash facehoofed. "Stephen just listen to yourself, this is going nowhere" Lightning scolded. "WOW really, I don't give a damn" Stephen said, with a frown. "Let me tell ya somethin' Stephen, if ya don't behave, ya can't come to the party later" Cinnamon roll said, in a stern voice. "Fine, I'll try to be on my best behavior" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Good sugar, I'm glad ya have chosen not to be at home alone on heart's warmin' eve" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen. "Come on, let's go to auntie Twilight's castle" Cinnamon stick said, with a smile. "Oh yeah, now we're rocking and rolling" Thunder said, putting his arm around Stephen. "Thunder I would like it if you not do that" Stephen said, to Thunder. "Your whining is going to get you nowhere, you're going to get a hug, whether you like it or not" Thunder said, in a stern voice. Before Stephen could reply, Thunder continued talking. "And what's more, you should start acting your age, and stop acting like a teenager" John's jaw dropped at what he had heard. "Who are you to tell me that I should start acting my age" Stephen said, to Thunder Dash. "Hey Stephen that's no way to talk to my brother" Lightning Dash said, to Stephen. "Lightning is right ya know, maybe ya should say you're sorry to Thunder Dash" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen in a stern voice. "No I won't, say I'm sorry, he deserved that" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Do you still love Jane?" Cinnamon stick asked. By now Stephen's face was as red as blood. "How dare you ask me if I still love Jane" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Chill dude, I was just asking" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "Fine I will tell you, but you have to promise never to talk to anybody else about this, do you understand?" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Yes I understand, and I'll never talk to anyone else about this" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "Very good, Cinnamon stick" Stephen said, with a smile. "No, I no longer love Jane, and here's the reason why, a week ago at the Grand Galloping Gala she showed up uninvited we got into an argument, and then she left, and I've not seen her since" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Whoa, it sounds like you really hate her" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "You have no idea how much I hate her, I just want to hurt her feelings just as she hurt mine" Stephen grimaced. "Whoa, calm down sugarcube" Cinnamon roll said, in a calm voice. "Yeah dude, you need to chill out" Lightning added. "I so totally agree" John said, to Stephen. "Come on y'all this is a waste of time, are ya comin' to the party or not?" Cinnamon roll asked. "No he's not" John said, to Cinnamon roll. "What the hell" Stephen yelled. "Stephen you are still grounded, that's why you can't go to the party tonight" John said, in a stern voice. After saying their goodbyes to Stephen and John, the friends were walking out the door, it was still snowing outside. "What a nice day we've had so far" Cinnamon stick said, to his friends as they were walking. Cinnamon roll nodded in agreement. "But it's going to get even more awesome" Thunder said, to his sister. "Yeah, tonight is going to be so awesome" Lightning said, to her friends. They were walking distance from Twilight's castle. Twilight went to greet her nieces and nephews as they were coming towards the castle. "You came just on time, but where are Stephen and john?" Twilight asked with a smile. "They ain't comin' now" Cinnamon roll said, to her aunt. "What, why not?" Twilight asked. "Because John said that Stephen was still grounded, that's why he's not coming to the party" Cinnamon stick said, to his aunt. Twilight let out a sigh of exasperation, then she led her nieces and nephews into the castle, the castle was decorated with various Heart's warming decorations, a Christmas tree stood in the middle of the throne room. "WOW, did aunt Pinkie do all this?" Cinnamon stick asked. "Ya got it, sugar" Applejack said, to her son. "So awesome" Thunder said, under his breath. "You said it bro" Lightning said, to her brother. "Hey guys, come on let's get this party started" Prism said, with a smile at her sister and brother. "Yeah let's do this" Lightning said, with a grin at Prism. "Let's rock and roll" Scootaloo yelled at the top of her lungs. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle rolled their eyes. Scootaloo took notice of that and smirked. "Come on Scoot, we didn't mean it" Sweetie Belle said, to her friend. "Yeah I know, you didn't mean it" Scootaloo replied with a smile. "Come here y'all" Apple Bloom said, to her friends as she embraced them. Loud Christmas dance music was blasting throughout the castle. Cumulus was dancing with Nick, and Nick was dancing with Cumulus. "It's too bad that John didn't let Stephen go to this awesome party" Thunder said, to his sister. "Yeah it's really too bad, oh well I guess that's just a way of life" Lightning said, to her brother. Thunder nodded in agreement. Meanwhile: "John you really hurt my feelings by telling me I couldn't go to that party" Stephen said, when he was back in his wheelchair. Then there was a knock on the door, John went to see who it was, when he opened the door, there stood Stephen's ex-wife Jane. "What are you doing here?, he doesn't want to see you" John said, before Jane could say a word. And then John slammed the door in Jane's face. "What was that all about?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow. "Nothing" John replied coldly. John didn't want to admit that it was Jane that was at the door, because if Stephen ever found out about this, that would be the end of Stephen Hawking. "Who was it, was it Jane at the door?" Stephen asked. "Yeah, so what" John said, coldly. "So it was Jane, why didn't you tell me?" Stephen asked. "I'm sorry, but I was afraid that if you found out about this, you would flip out" John said, to Stephen. "John I need to go to the bathroom" William called from his room. "I'm coming" John replied. William is living with his father now, because his mother couldn't take care of him, it was too much for Jane to handle. After John had taken William to the bathroom, and put him back in his wheelchair, John went back in to the living room to hang up the last Christmas ornaments. "Well here we are, all together as a family" John said, to Stephen. Stephen smiled as William came in to the living room. the end Author's Note I’m sorry for the long wait but I was very busy with school, This chapter was supposed to come out yesterday, but I had no time yesterday.

The wedding anniversaryIt was a nice fall day in Ponyville, the Main 6 and their families were all at Sugarcube corner, because it was Nick and Cumulus’s wedding anniversary. Nick and Cumulus had been married for a year now. “Let’s get this party started” A pink earth pony with a puffy pink mane said, in excitement she was bouncing up-and-down. “Yes, let’s do this” a stallion with a brown coat and brown hair said. “Cinnamon stick, your aunt Pinkie has done a very awesome job” a human with a leather jacket on and with black hair and brown eyes said. “Thanks, Nick” Pinkie Pie called out of nowhere. Nick looked confused for a moment because he thought Pinkie was standing beside him and then said “your welcome.” “Hey guys, come look at this, there’s an article in the newspaper about somepony called Stephen Hawking” A lavender alicorn sitting at a table called. “Not now Twilight can’t you see were busy” Nick called back. Twilight rolled her eyes and got up from her seat and walked over to where Pinkie pie was standing. “It says here that he and his family are coming to Equestria in a few days” Twilight continued. “Whatever we don’t care” a Orange Earth Pony with a cowboy hat on and braids in her mane said. “Why is no pony listening to me” Twilight demanded angrily stomping a hoof on the floor. “This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me” “Oh come on Twilight he is not that important” a blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane said, in annoyance. Twilight let out an annoyed grunt “Oh come on Twilight we didn’t mean it” Rainbow said, to Twilight. Sugarcube corner was decorated with streamers and things of that sort. The floor of the bakery was very nicely polished. Then there was a knock on the door, Twilight went to go see who it was. When Twilight open the door the first thing she saw was 3 Ponies in leather jackets. One of them was orange with a purple mane. While another was white with a lavender colored mane with a white streak going through it. The last pony left was yellow with a red mane with a bow in her mane. "Come on in Crusaders" Twilight told the ponies. "Hello Ponyville are you ready to party" The orange Pegasus shouted at the top of her lungs. "Hey guys look who's here" Twilight called over her shoulder to the others. "Yay" 3 Fillies with identical manes shouted in unison. One of the Filliy's had a magenta coat and the same mane color. Then there was a red Filly with the same mane color. Then there was a Filly that had a purple coat and the same mane color "So do you have any new songs?" A blue pegasus stallion asked. "No not at the moment, Soarin" The white unicorn answered. "Oh, ok, I guess we have to wait then" Soarin said, to Sweetie Belle. Everypony was still ignoring Twilight.

The return of Lightning Dash and a weekend at uncle Discord'sAuthor's Note This is a very long chapter in my fanfiction. Hope you like it The return of Lightning Dash and a weekend at uncle Discord's After the party: "Hey Thunder, can I ask you a question?" Cinnamon stick asked. "Sure Cinnamon stick, what is it?" Thunder Dash replied. "Thunder where is your sister Lightning Dash?" Cinnamon stick asked. At that moment, the door to Sugarcube Corner opened, all the ponies turned and looked towards the door. In the doorway staring at her family stood non other than Lightning Dash. Lightning Dash was a blue pegasus with a yellow and red main, her eyes were also blue. "Hey guys, what's up, did you miss me" Lightning Dash said, with a smile. Thunder's jaw dropped when he saw his older sister. "Lightning where have you been?, we thought you had jumped in front of a train" Rainbow Dash said, to her older daughter. "I lied about that, I was hiding at aunt Scootaloo's house" Lightning "Ok, and what about the note that you gave me?" Thunder asked. "I lied about that too, I didn't want to kill myself" Lightning cried in despair. Lightning gave her brother the note a few days ago, after she disappeared, it turned out she was just hiding at Scootaloo's house for a few days. "But the police officer told us that you had killed yourself" Soarin said, to his daughter. "No he didn't I told him to tell you that I had killed myself" Lightning said, to her parents "Lightning I can't believe that you would do something like that" Rainbow lectured her daughter. Lightning Dash hung her head in shame. "I'm so sorry guys, I probably shouldn't have done what I did" apologized Lightning to her family. "Ok Lightning we forgive you for what you did" Thunder said, with a smile. "Where's Prism?" Lightning asked with a smile. "She's at uncle Discord's and aunt Fluttershy's house" Thunder replied with a smirk. "Lightning it's good to have you back" Nick said, with a smile. "It's good to be back, I'm so sorry I ran away, and made you believe I had killed myself" Lightning said, to Nick and Cumulus. "No hard feelings" Nick said, with a smile. "We're just glad you're ok" Cumulus added, before giving her niece a hug. "I was told today's your wedding anniversary" Lightning said, to Cumulus and Nick. "Yeah that's right" Nick replied with a smile. "Congratulations, aunt Cumulus and uncle Nick" Lightning said, with a smile. "Thanks, that means a lot to us" Cumulus said, with a grin. "You're welcome" Lightning said, with a smile. "Now what?" Blueberry pie asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well we could go visit uncle Discord and aunt Fluttershy, and Screwball" Lightning said, with a smile. "That's a splendid idea" Gemstone said, with a smile. The tri-pies cheered. "Well let's go" Cinnamon stick said, to his friends. "This weekend at uncle Discord's is going to be so awesome" Lightning said, with a grin. Lightning's friends were already standing at the door waiting for Lightning Dash to come join them. Once outside: The friends were walking towards the everfree forrest. "So Lightning what do you think we're going to be doing at uncle Discord's?" Gemstone asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know, but I'm sure we'll find out more information when we get there" Lightning replied with a smile. "Ok that's good enough for me" Gemstone said, with a smile at Lightning Dash. As the friends reached the edge of the everfree forrest they could see the path to uncle Discord's castle. Discord and Fluttershy had been happily married and had two kids Screwball and Zany. "Come on y'all" Cinnamon roll said, to her friends. The seven friends were walking along the path when they heard a sound like no other, the sound was coming from Discord's castle, Cinnamon roll and Cinnamon stick started running towards the sound. "Come on guys, follow us" Cinnamon stick yelled over his shoulder at the others. "Yeah now you're talking" Lightning Dash said, as she started running. The others followed Lightning Dash. When they had finally reached the castle, the big gate of the castle opened, and the seven friends walked inside. "WOW" Gemstone said, as she looked at her uncle Discord's castle for the first time. "Welcome to my world, come in" Discord said, to his nieces and nephews. "Hey uncle Discord who are we going to meet today?" Cinnamon stick asked his uncle. "I have just the guy for you to meet" Discord said, as he teleported his nieces and nephews into his castle. "Awesome what's his name?" Lightning asked with a raised eyebrow. "You're about to find out" Discord said, as he stood in his living room. Discord put his fingers in his mouth and whistle and then as if on cue a boy in a wheelchair came round the corner. "There he is" Discord said, to the boy. The boy smiled at the ponies. "What's your name?" Thunder asked the boy. It took a while for the boy to reply. "Hi I'm William, I'm the son of the great scientist Stephen Hawking" the boy said, with a smile. William has severe cerebral palsy, this means that William's speech is slurred, so it may be difficult to understand William sometimes. "So you're the son of Stephen Hawking, that must be cool" Thunder said, to William. "No it's not cool." "What, oh come on, are you telling me that living with Stephen Hawking isn't awesome" Thunder said, to William. "No it isn't awesome it's terrible at times" William said, with a grimace. "Sugar it sounds like ya don't like your dad very much" Cinnamon roll said, to William. "My mom and dad are going through a divorce, so you can imagine that I am not happy with my parents right now" William said, with a sigh. Thunder blinked. "Did I understand you correctly?, your parents are going through a divorce" Thunder said, to William. "That's right" William replied with a sigh. "So William why are you in Equestria in the first place?" Thunder asked. "Well before my parents filed for divorce my parents and I came to Equestria because my father had business in Equestria, and now we live here" William said, to Thunder. Thunder could tell that it was very difficult for William to talk about his parent's divorce. "Oh my, you poor dear" Gemstone said, when William had finished his story. "Sugarcube is there anythin' we can do?" Cinnamon roll asked. "Yes there is something you can do, you can talk to my parents and try to get them to talk to each other again" William said, to Cinnamon roll. "Ok, I'll try to get your parents to talk to each other again but I can't make any promises, alright?" Cinnamon roll said, to William. "Ok let's do this" William said, with a grin. Meanwhile back at Sugarcube corner: "We should totally invite Stephen Hawking and his wife" Rainbow Dash said, with a smile. "Awesome let's do this" Spike said, with a grin. Then there was a knock on the door, Twilight went to open the door. Gemstone, Cinnamon roll, Cinnamon stick, the tri-pies, the Dash siblings, Screwball and a boy Twilight had never seen before were standing outside the door. "Aunt Twilight, we brought someone for you to meet" Screwball said, with a smile at William. "Ok I also have someone I'd like you to meet" Twilight said, with a smile. "Awesome who is it?" Prism asked. "Sugarcube corner presents the one and only Stephen Hawking" Pinkie Pie announced. Stephen Hawking hed a disability called Amyotrophic lateral also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and neurone disease (MND), is a specific disease that causes the death of neurones which control voluntary muscles, that basically means that Stephen is paralyzed and also the disease robbed him of his natural voice. William grimaced as his father came in to the room. "Why did you bring my father here?" William asked. "Because y'all need to talk to your father again" Cinnamon roll said, with a glance at Stephen Hawking. "Hello son I haven't seen you in a while" Stephen Hawking said, to William. "Whatever you don't really care about me anyway" William replied coldly. "William I love you so much" Stephen said, to his son. "Yeah right according to my mother you don't love me" William yelled at his father. Stephen's care giver gave William a look of disappointment. "Stay out of this" William yelled at his father's care giver. "Not cool dude" Nick said, to William. "Fine if you think you can do better, go ahead" William said, to Nick. "Ok I will" Nick said, with a smirk. "Stephen I think you need to talk to your wife about this" Nick said, to Stephen Hawking. "Why should I even care?, she was the one to leave, I didn't want her to leave me alone" Stephen Hawking said, to Nick. "Drama" Gemstone whispered to Lightning Dash. "You said it" Lightning whispered back. "Stephen y'all need to calm down a bit" Cinnamon roll said, putting a hoof on Stephen's shoulder. "Very well then" Stephen replied. "William ya need to say you're sorry" Cinnamon roll said, turning to face William. "Fine" William said, to Cinnamon roll. "Dad I'm so sorry that I yelled at you" William said, to his father. "My behavior wasn't any better, I'm also very sorry son" Stephen said, to William. "Aww isn't it just so sweet" Gemstone said, to Lightning. "Well it's been a while since I last seen you my son" Stephen said, with a smile. "I'll drink to that" Stephen's care giver said, with a smile.
The return of Nightmare moon's spirit."Listen up, I must tell you a story, this happened before Celestia and Luna, so gather around for I will now tell you the story of the evil lord of darkness" Twilight said, as Stephen's care giver got himself a beer. Twilight cleared her throat and began reading. Once a upon a time, there was only darkness, behind all of the darkness was a beast, her name was Nightmare Moon but after Celestia and Luna were born, Celestia and Luna drove Nightmare Moon away, but it was said that Luna actually was Nightmare Moon, but the prophecy of Nightmare Moon was wrong, Luna was never Nightmare Moon. "So all we have been learning about Nightmare Moon had been wrong, so if Nightmare Moon lived before Celestia and Luna, this means Nightmare Moon had always lived and never died" Twilight said, when she had finished reading. "So if Luna wasn't Nightmare Moon who was?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know" Twilight replied. Stephen raised an eyebrow to try and get Twilight's attention, when Twilight noticed that Stephen was looking at her, she walked over to Stephen. Stephen didn't have his computer with him at the moment, so he has a communication board, with which to talk, Stephen has to spell out exactly what he wants to say, it can be difficult sometimes. "I W-want b-e-e-r" Stephen said, with his Communication board. That same night: Twilight had a nightmare about Nightmare Moon. In the dream: "Twilight,Twilight you must help me" Celestia said, in a far off voice. As Celestia finished speaking, Twilight heard a evil laugh, and then a dark shadow came out of the darkness, when Twilight saw who it was, she got scared. "Nightmare Moon" Twilight said, darkly. "Somepony who remembers me, then you also know why I'm here" Nightmare Moon said, with an evil grin. Twilight gulped. "WHERE IS CELESTIA" Twilight yelled. "If you ever want to see Celestia again, you'll have to bow down before me" Nightmare Moon said, with an evil laugh. "I WIll NEVER BOW DOWN TO YOU" Twilight yelled. Twilight woke up screaming: Twilight got out of bed and walked down the hall to Stephen Hawking's room and knocked on the door, Stephen's care giver opened the door a crack. "What the hell Twilight, it's 5 am" Stephen's care giver said, with an annoyed look on his face. "I need to talk to Stephen Hawking" Twilight said, to Stephen's care giver. "Can't that wait until morning?" Stephen's care giver asked. "Yeah I guess" Twilight replied with a sigh. After Stephen's care giver closed the door, Twilight went back to her room, as Twilight got into bed she thought she could hear Stephen's care giver getting up. Why was he getting up in the middle of the night?. Nopony knows.... Twilight felt like a failure because Stephen's care giver send her away, Twilight felt sad and lonely, Twilight went to Stephen's room because he was the only one Twilight could trust, because her friends don't understand her problems, like Stephen does. In the morning: Twilight woke up at around 7:00, Twilight got up and went downstairs into the dining hall, where her friends were preparing breakfast, Stephen and his care giver were also in the dining hall, Stephen's care giver scowled at Twilight, Twilight rolled her eyes. "T-this has to s-stop now" Stephen spelled out on his communication board. "Twilight Stephen is right ya two need to put your differences aside, and work together as a team" Applejack said, to Twilight. "Why is Stephen always right?" Twilight asked. Applejack shrugged and went to see what her husband and kids were doing. "S-o w-h-a-t n-o-w?" Stephen asked. "Where is your care giver?, shouldn't he be translating for you?" Twilight asked. "He get my computer, so I talk to you" Stephen said, with his communication board. "Awesome, so you can talk to us without having to spell out every single word" Cumulus said, to Stephen. Stephen raised an eyebrow to say yes. "Hey guys I'm back" Stephen's care giver said, once he had opened the door. "As everypony already knows in a week is the Grand Galloping Gala, and Stephen and John are invited" Twilight said, with a smile at Stephen's care giver. Stephen's care giver's name is John. The ponies and Stephen and John were all in Twilight's castle, but Stephen's son William wasn't there because he was back at his mother's house, because she was very sick, so William had to take care of her, or so he thought. Meanwhile back at his mother's house: Jane's house was very elegantly designed, the house is a Mansion because Stephen had bought that house with the money from his father. The Hawking family was rich that was before Stephen and Jane filled for divorce. "William my dear can you believe it's been over a year since I've seen you" Jane said, to her son. "Mother I thought you were sick" William said, to his mother. I lied about being sick, "I didn't want your father to know that I was leaving him" Jane said, to her son. "So that's why you are filed for divorce" William said, to his mother. "Yes my dear, your father and I didn't love each other anymore like we did when you were a baby" Jane said, with a sigh. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD LIE TO ME" William yelled as he barreled his way to the front door; With all his might he flung open the door and wheeled himself outside and pushed himself as hard as he can, and didn't stop until he got to Twilight's castle. "William what's wrong?" Twilight asked once she had closed the door. "It's my mother, I think something is wrong with her, father she's leaving you" William said, to his father. A single tear ran down Stephen's face, indicating that he was sad, Apple Bloom took notice of that and walked over to Stephen. "Let me handle this" she said, to John. "Ok, if you're sure that you can handle it" John said, to Apple Bloom. "Sugarcube I'm pretty sure I can handle him" Apple Bloom said, to John. "Ok, he's all yours" John replied with a sigh. "What's wrong sugar?" Apple Bloom asked turning to face Stephen. "Well I guess after I heard that Jane was leaving me, I got sad that she was leaving me" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Oh sugar is there anythin' I can do to make ya feel better?" Apple Bloom asked Stephen. "No sadly there is nothing you can do for me at the moment" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Alright sugarcube but if y'all need to talk I'm always here for ya" Apple Bloom said, to Stephen, gently putting a foreleg around him. "Very well put" Stephen said, to Apple Bloom. "Thank ya, I'm always happy to help a friend out" Apple Bloom said, with a smile. "You're very welcome Apple Bloom, I needed to hear that" Stephen said, with a smile. Stephen's words made Apple Bloom blush, then an awkward silence followed, that seemed to last forever. John was the first to break the silence. "Will somepony please tell me what the hell is going on here?" John asked with a wink at Stephen. Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. Author's Note This is the 3th chapter. Hope you enjoy. Yes I know what you're thinking: Why has Jane left Stephen? I don't know why Jane left Stephen in real life. In fact: Stephen and Jane were married in real life and had 3 kids. Stephen William Hawking and Jane Beryl Wilde are real people. Well I'll explain why she left him just like that without a warning in the 4th chapter.
Drama at the Grand Galloping Gala.The next morning: A loud scream could be heard throughout the castle, the scream came from Stephen and John's room. "What's going on?" Cumulus asked once she reached Stephen and John's room. "Well this is a very interesting way of meeting Stephen Hawking" John joked. Cumulus rolled her eyes at John. "Why did you scream?" Cumulus asked Stephen. "It wasn't me that screamed it was John who screamed," Stephen said, to Cumulus. "What happened sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "I had this terrible nightmare about somepony named Nightmare moon," Stephen said, to Applejack. Twilight's eyes grew wide as she listened to every word that was spoken. "You had that same nightmare as I did," Twilight said, with a shocked expression on her face. "But it must mean something," Stephen said, to Twilight. "Hey girls the train for Canterlot leaves in 10 minutes, so you better get ready," Rarity called from her room. "Stephen I was afraid this would happen," Twilight said, as she went to get ready. "Let's get you dressed," John said, to Stephen. A couple of minutes later the ponies came back into Stephen's room, John was putting the finishing touches on Stephen's jacket, when he was done he looked up and his jaw dropped at the sight of the girls dresses the ponies where dressed in very nice dresses. Twilight's dresse was purple with blue at the bottom of the dress, Applejack's dress was brown and she was wearing boots to match the dress, Fluttershy's dress was yellow with her cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rainbow's dress was also very simple it was blue with Rainbow's cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rarity's dress was a very elegant design. Pinkie pie's was a pink dress with lollipops on it. "WOW you look amazing," John said, to the ponies. "Where are the boys?" Stephen asked. Stephen was wearing a black tuxsido. John was wearing a suit with black a stripe on each arm. "They are getting....Twilight trailed off once she saw Stephen. Twilight's jaw dropped once her eyes fell upon John. "Oh my god," Twilight thought to herself. "Hey Twilight are you alright?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah I'm fine," Twilight replied with a smile at Stephen. "Who's ready to go to Canterlot?" Scootaloo asked. "We are so excited to go to Canterlot for the Grand Galloping Gala," Cumulus and the Dash siblings exclaimed in unison. "Rock on" Stephen said, to Scootaloo. "Let's do this," John added. "Now you're talking" Spike said, to John. At the train station: "We're here!" Screwball said, to Stephen. "Yay!" the tri-pies said, in unison. "This is going to be so awesome!" Soarin said, with a smile at his wife. Pinkie Pie and her daughters were bouncing up and down in excitement. Stephen looked over and saw Applejack and Spike talking and laughing together, Stephen wished he could do the same, but yet he couldn't do what the others were doing, because of his disability. "Hey Stephen is somethin' wrong?" Cinnamon roll asked. "Sadly there is," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "What's wrong sugar?" Cinnamon roll asked. "I can not do what the others are doing because of my disability," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh sugarcube don't let that get ya down," Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen. "Thanks Cinnamon roll, I needed to hear that," Stephen said, with a smile at Cinnamon roll. "You're welcome sugar," Cinnamon roll replied with a smile. "This is going to be the best Grand Galloping Gala ever" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen once they were on the train. Once in Canterlot: "This is going to be the best night ever," John said, with a glance over at Stephen. "Yeah I know," Stephen replied with a smile. "So awesome," John added. The friends were walking up to the castle, when they reached the castle one of the royal guards opened the big castle doors. "WOW," John marveled, once they were inside and on the castle grounds. Since this was Stephen and John's first time attending the Grand Galloping Gala, Twilight had to go over the rules and recommendations, but she was hoping that tonight wouldn't be a disaster like the first Grand Galloping Gala was. "And here's to hoping that Stephen and John don't cause any trouble tonight" Twilight thought to herself as the friends were walking. Stephen smiled at Cinnamon Roll who smiled back. "So awesome," Stephen said, to John. "You took the words right out of my mouth," John said, to Stephen. "Stephen remember what we talked about on the train," Fluttershy said, to Stephen with a knowing glance. "Yes Fluttershy I will try to be on my best behavior," Stephen said, to Fluttershy. "Oh and John you shouldn't drink too much alcohol," Fluttershy said, to John with a knowing grin. "Ok Fluttershy I will try to not drink so much alcohol," John said, to the yellow pegasus. Fluttershy smiled to herself as the friends where walking into the ballroom for the castle. The ballroom was very elegantly decorated with balloons and streamers and in the middle of the ballroom stood a stage. Once inside the ballroom, where the festivities were to be held. "WOW so awesome," John said, to Stephen. Next to Stephen there stood an orange earth pony with green hair and green reptilian eyes. The colt looked up at Stephen. "Hi my name is AppleScript, what's your name?" the colt asked Stephen with a smile. "My name is Stephen Hawking, cosmologist, physicist and something of a dreamer," Stephen said, with a smile at AppleScript AppleScript looked at Stephen confusedly because he didn't understand what Stephen meant. "Sugar I'm not sure that AppleScript understood what ya meant," Applejack said, to Stephen. " Ok whatever," Stephen said, to AppleScript "AppleScript don't bother Professor Stephen Hawking" Spike said, to his son. "It's fine," Stephen said, to Spike. "Ok if ya say so," Spike said, to Stephen. When Twilight finished greeting the guests who were attending the Grand Galloping Gala, she walked over to her friends and their families. "Where are the Dashes?" Twilight asked. "They're coming to the Grand Galloping Gala with the Wonderbolts," Screwball said, to Twilight. "And there they are," AppleScript said, pointing to the sky. The Wonderbolts landed outside on the ground in front of the castle. "But I thought that the Dash family got on the train with all of us." Stephen said, to Twilight. "Well yes they did but they got off the train before we got off," Applejack said, to Stephen. "We're here" Prism said, to her parents. "Where are the CMC, shouldn't they be at the Grand Galloping Gala too?" Thunder Dash asked his parents. "Yes, but remember that the CMC are going to perform tonight," Soarin said, to his son. "Oh yeah that's right" Thunder said, to his father as they were walking in to the ballroom. Once the Dash family was in the ballroom: "Rainbow Dash I missed you so much," Pinkie Pie said, as she hugged Rainbow tightly. "Pinkie I missed you too," Rainbow said, once Pinkie had let go of her. "Ya know it's almost heart's warmin' eve," Applejack announced. "This year is going to be so awesome, because Stephen and John will be there as well," Soarin said, with a smile at Stephen. "Oh yeah, rock on," Stephen said, with a smile. "He's a big fan of the CMC, so he's practicing for their concert tonight," John legend. "Well I'm also a really big fan of the CMC, especially my Aunt Scootaloo," Prism happiy announced. Stephen rolled his eyes and said: "Yeah I know, you talk about her all the time" "Stephen there's someone here to see you," John whispered to Stephen. "Who is it?" Stephen asked. "See for yourself," John said, to Stephen as he turned Stephen's wheelchair to face his wife. Jane was wearing a dress that went down to the floor, Jane was a tall women, She had black hair and blue eyes. "What's she doing here?" Stephen asked John. "I don't know, but I assume she's here to talk to you," john said, to Stephen. Jane glared at Stephen. "Why did you do it?" Jane asked. "What did I do?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow. "You know exactly what you did, don't play innocent with me!" bellowed still glaring at Stephen. "But dearest I didn't want to hurt you," Stephen said, to Jane. "Just leave me alone," Jane yelled as she ran outside and into the Garden. Jane and Stephen weren't really talking to each other after they got married, and everything fell apart once Jane gave birth to their son, shortly after Stephen found out that they were having a baby boy, he had a nervous breakdown, after Jane was home from the hospital for a few weeks, Stephen stopped talking to Jane completely, his care givers didn't know what to do, he wouldn't eat or sleep. Applejack followed Jane out into the garden, Jane was standing in the middle of the garden and she was crying, Applejack slowly approached her from behind. "What's wrong sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "You heard all that?" Jane asked. "Y'all were pretty loud," Applejack said, to Jane. "What happened between ya two?" Applejack asked. "Well after I gave birth to our son, Stephen stopped talking to me, his care giver at the time told me that Stephen was having a nervous breakdown, but I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, so something must have happened but I was not to know of it," Jane cried. "Well why don't ya find out," Applejack mumbled. But Jane heard Applejack said that and said, "That's a good idea, thanks Applejack," "You're welcome," Applejack said, with a smile. Meanwhile: "So uncool dude," Spike lectured. "Stephen Spike's right you know, that wasn't cool at all what you did," Scootaloo added. The others nodded in agreement. "I know that I shouldn't have done what I did," Stephen said, to Scootaloo. "Then why did ya do it in the first place?" Applejack asked. They were all standing at the bar, that was set up so the ponies could get something to drink. "Well I don't really know," Stephen said, with a glance over at John, in the hope that John would help him. John took notice of that and shrugged. "I'm sorry but I can't help you with your problems with lady Jane," John said, to Stephen. Stephen rolled his eyes. "Fine," was the last thing Stephen said, before his computer shut off. "What's goin' on?" Applejack asked. "Stephen's computer has run out of juice, so that means Stephen can no longer talk until I get his charger and plug it in, but it will need sometime to get from 1 percent to 100 percent," John explained with a glance over at Stephen who didn't look happy at all. "What's wrong sugar?," Cinnamon roll asked Stephen. When there came no answer, Cinnamon roll looked at John with a big question mark in her eyes. I thought I just told you," John barked. "Whoa dude chill out," Twilight spoke in a soft tone of voice. Meanwhile: Cumulus was talking to Jane. "So I guess I understand what you're going through," Cumulus said, to Jane. "Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to tell Stephen how I feel," Jane said, to Cumulus. "Any time, if you have a problem I can help," Cumulus said, as she turned and walked away to go and find Nick. Nick was playing with the tri-pies and AppleScript. Cumulus walked towards the sound of Nick laughing, once she was close enough to hear what they were saying to each other, she cleared her throat loudly, Nick turned around to see Cumulus with her hands on her hips. "Hi Cue, we were just talking about how much drama has been going on this week," Nick said, to Cumulus. "I heard you talking about how much drama is going on this week, and I also heard you say something about this year's heart's warming eve party," Cumulus said, to her husband. "Oh yeah I almost forgot tell you what I plann for heart's warming eve this year," Nick said, to his wife. "Nick your grammar," Cumulus reminded him. "I'm sorry, its a habit," Nick said, to Cumulus. AppleScript looked at Nick with a confused look on his face. Nick took a deep breath and began telling his story. Meanwhile: The others were talking to Stephen and John. "So Stephen your really not going to apologize to Jane?" Sweetie Belle asked Stephen. "No, I won't apologize for what I did to her," Stephen replied. "Ok, if you won't say it, I will" John said, in a stern voice. "Go ahead, see if I care," Stephen said, to John. "Stephen William Hawking I don't like the way you're talking to me!" John said, putting his hands on his hips. "Your not my mother!" Stephen said, to John. John gasped at what he just heard. "Stephen I'm going to take you to your room and you're going to stay there until you've learned some respect," John lectured. "Fine, see if I care," Stephen said, as John walked away with him. Author's Note Hey guys, hope you like it, I'm going to publish the last chapter in December because it's very appropriate for Christmas.. This is ArtistFire12 being 20 percent cooler. Yay I'll try to edit this as i go along but It might take a while.
Heart's warming eveA week later: The ponies were all in Twilight's castle, because it was heart's warming eve, the tradition that the ponies stay overnight was around for as long as Twilight could remember, Twilight was preparing for when her friends and family came over. Applejack brought warm apple cider for them to get drunk on. "This is so awesome" Thunder Dash said, to his mother. Stephen was still grounded for what he said, to John at the Grand Galloping Gala, so that's why he wasn't invited to join the heart's warming eve party. But Jane and William were invited to the party, but John had to stay with Stephen, because he needs around the clock care. "Mom why couldn't Stephen come to the party?" AppleScript asked. "Ya know why he ain't here" Applejack replied. "Yeah" AppleScript said, with a sigh. "Let's get this party started" Cumulus said, to Scootaloo. "Yeah let's go" Scootaloo yelled at the top of her lungs. "Now we're rolling" William said, to Scootaloo. "Yeah, so awesome" Prism said, to William. "You can understand me?" William asked. "Yeah, I can, why do you ask?, me and my family have always been able to understand you" Prism said, to William. "Ok, but my speech is slurred, so how is it possible that you can understand me?" William asked with a raised eyebrow. "We once had a visit from a very close friend of my mom's, who's speech was also slurred, his name was Lucas, but his brother is married to Cumulus" Prism said, to William. William looked at Nick with a question mark in his eyes. It's long story, no time" Nick said, to William. "Ok" William said, to Nick. "Hey Nick I thought you're grammar was getting better" Rainbow said, to Nick. "Mom don't bother, I already told him that his grammar is important, so he should keep it under control" Cumulus said, to her mother. "Ok if you say so" Rainbow said, to Cumulus. "Is good thing we remember bring presents" Nick said, to Rainbow. "You said it uncle Nick" Sweetie Belle said, with a smile. "Who want listen Christmas music?" Nick asked with a smile. "Oh yeah now we're really rolling" William said, excitedly. "William remember what your dad told you" Rainbow said, to William. "Yeah I remember what he told me, and I'll try to be on my best behavior" William said, to Rainbow. "Ok, great, we're going to have lots of fun" Rainbow said, to William. When William gets excited about something, he can't control his movements, so it gets very difficult for him to talk, one must be very patient with him, one might ask him to repeat what he is saying. "We should go to Stephen's house to cheer him up a bit" Lightning said, to her brother. "Ok awesome let's go, and we can sing Christmas songs on the way" Thunder said, with a grin. "Come on, let's go" Cinnamon stick said, to his twin sister. Cinnamon roll did as she was told. Once outside: it was snowing. "This is so awesome" Lightning said, to her brother who was standing there with his mouth open. Thunder just nodded at his sister. "Come on y'all, we don't want to be late for the party" Cinnamon roll said, to her friends. "But I thought we were having the party at aunt Twilight's castle" Cinnamon stick said, to his sister. "We are, but first we need to go to Stephen's house to cheer him up" Cinnamon roll said, with a smile. "Then what are we waiting around here for?, let's go" Lightning Dash said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh yeah now we're talkin', look out Stephen here we come" Thunder Dash yelled at the top of his lungs as he started running. "Come on, let's go" Cinnamon stick yelled as he took off after Thunder and Lightning Dash. They were headed to the other side of town, because that's where Stephen and John live, they have lived there for almost a year now. Once on the other side of town: Lightning came to a stop in front of a white house that had a door with Christmas lights around the doorframe. "We're here" Cinnamon stick said, with a grin. Cinnamon roll knocked on the door. "John it's Cinnamon roll, Cinnamon stick, Lightning and Thunder Dash" Lightning said, from outside the door. "It's always open" John said, from inside the house. The 4 friends stepped inside the house. Once they were inside, John closed the door. The inside of the house was decorated with various Christmas decorations. John was wearing a shirt with a picture of a Christmas tree on it. "John what the hell are you wearing" Cinnamon stick said, with a smirk. "This is my Christmas sweater" Johnn said, with a smile. "I assume you're here to see Stephen" John said, with a smile. "Yeah that's what we're here for" Cinnamon stick said, with a nervous glance at the clock. "Right this way please" John said, to the ponies. John led the ponies through a long hallway, that was also decorated for Christmas, and then John stopped in front of a large wooden door. "Well, here we are" John said, with a grin. Then he knocked on Stephen's bedroom door. "Oh Stephen your friends are here" John said, to Stephen from outside the door. When there came no answer John opened the door. Stephen was laying on his bed, his communication device was hanging above him, whenever Stephen lays in bed, he uses a communication device called the tobii eye gaze, tobii eye gaze is a communication device that allows the user to talk with their eyes, the tobii eye gaze is for people with ALS or severe CP. "Hi Stephen, how ya doin'?" Cinnamon roll asked. "I'm not doing ok, I'm still mad at John" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Oh sugarcube, ya shouldn't be mad at John, he's just tryin' to help ya" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen as she walked over to his bed. "I don't care" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. Lightning Dash facehoofed. "Stephen just listen to yourself, this is going nowhere" Lightning scolded. "WOW really, I don't give a damn" Stephen said, with a frown. "Let me tell ya somethin' Stephen, if ya don't behave, ya can't come to the party later" Cinnamon roll said, in a stern voice. "Fine, I'll try to be on my best behavior" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Good sugar, I'm glad ya have chosen not to be at home alone on heart's warmin' eve" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen. "Come on, let's go to auntie Twilight's castle" Cinnamon stick said, with a smile. "Oh yeah, now we're rocking and rolling" Thunder said, putting his arm around Stephen. "Thunder I would like it if you not do that" Stephen said, to Thunder. "Your whining is going to get you nowhere, you're going to get a hug, whether you like it or not" Thunder said, in a stern voice. Before Stephen could reply, Thunder continued talking. "And what's more, you should start acting your age, and stop acting like a teenager" John's jaw dropped at what he had heard. "Who are you to tell me that I should start acting my age" Stephen said, to Thunder Dash. "Hey Stephen that's no way to talk to my brother" Lightning Dash said, to Stephen. "Lightning is right ya know, maybe ya should say you're sorry to Thunder Dash" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen in a stern voice. "No I won't, say I'm sorry, he deserved that" Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll. "Do you still love Jane?" Cinnamon stick asked. By now Stephen's face was as red as blood. "How dare you ask me if I still love Jane" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Chill dude, I was just asking" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "Fine I will tell you, but you have to promise never to talk to anybody else about this, do you understand?" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Yes I understand, and I'll never talk to anyone else about this" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "Very good, Cinnamon stick" Stephen said, with a smile. "No, I no longer love Jane, and here's the reason why, a week ago at the Grand Galloping Gala she showed up uninvited we got into an argument, and then she left, and I've not seen her since" Stephen said, to Cinnamon stick. "Whoa, it sounds like you really hate her" Cinnamon stick said, to Stephen. "You have no idea how much I hate her, I just want to hurt her feelings just as she hurt mine" Stephen grimaced. "Whoa, calm down sugarcube" Cinnamon roll said, in a calm voice. "Yeah dude, you need to chill out" Lightning added. "I so totally agree" John said, to Stephen. "Come on y'all this is a waste of time, are ya comin' to the party or not?" Cinnamon roll asked. "No he's not" John said, to Cinnamon roll. "What the hell" Stephen yelled. "Stephen you are still grounded, that's why you can't go to the party tonight" John said, in a stern voice. After saying their goodbyes to Stephen and John, the friends were walking out the door, it was still snowing outside. "What a nice day we've had so far" Cinnamon stick said, to his friends as they were walking. Cinnamon roll nodded in agreement. "But it's going to get even more awesome" Thunder said, to his sister. "Yeah, tonight is going to be so awesome" Lightning said, to her friends. They were walking distance from Twilight's castle. Twilight went to greet her nieces and nephews as they were coming towards the castle. "You came just on time, but where are Stephen and john?" Twilight asked with a smile. "They ain't comin' now" Cinnamon roll said, to her aunt. "What, why not?" Twilight asked. "Because John said that Stephen was still grounded, that's why he's not coming to the party" Cinnamon stick said, to his aunt. Twilight let out a sigh of exasperation, then she led her nieces and nephews into the castle, the castle was decorated with various Heart's warming decorations, a Christmas tree stood in the middle of the throne room. "WOW, did aunt Pinkie do all this?" Cinnamon stick asked. "Ya got it, sugar" Applejack said, to her son. "So awesome" Thunder said, under his breath. "You said it bro" Lightning said, to her brother. "Hey guys, come on let's get this party started" Prism said, with a smile at her sister and brother. "Yeah let's do this" Lightning said, with a grin at Prism. "Let's rock and roll" Scootaloo yelled at the top of her lungs. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle rolled their eyes. Scootaloo took notice of that and smirked. "Come on Scoot, we didn't mean it" Sweetie Belle said, to her friend. "Yeah I know, you didn't mean it" Scootaloo replied with a smile. "Come here y'all" Apple Bloom said, to her friends as she embraced them. Loud Christmas dance music was blasting throughout the castle. Cumulus was dancing with Nick, and Nick was dancing with Cumulus. "It's too bad that John didn't let Stephen go to this awesome party" Thunder said, to his sister. "Yeah it's really too bad, oh well I guess that's just a way of life" Lightning said, to her brother. Thunder nodded in agreement. Meanwhile: "John you really hurt my feelings by telling me I couldn't go to that party" Stephen said, when he was back in his wheelchair. Then there was a knock on the door, John went to see who it was, when he opened the door, there stood Stephen's ex-wife Jane. "What are you doing here?, he doesn't want to see you" John said, before Jane could say a word. And then John slammed the door in Jane's face. "What was that all about?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow. "Nothing" John replied coldly. John didn't want to admit that it was Jane that was at the door, because if Stephen ever found out about this, that would be the end of Stephen Hawking. "Who was it, was it Jane at the door?" Stephen asked. "Yeah, so what" John said, coldly. "So it was Jane, why didn't you tell me?" Stephen asked. "I'm sorry, but I was afraid that if you found out about this, you would flip out" John said, to Stephen. "John I need to go to the bathroom" William called from his room. "I'm coming" John replied. William is living with his father now, because his mother couldn't take care of him, it was too much for Jane to handle. After John had taken William to the bathroom, and put him back in his wheelchair, John went back in to the living room to hang up the last Christmas ornaments. "Well here we are, all together as a family" John said, to Stephen. Stephen smiled as William came in to the living room. the end Author's Note I’m sorry for the long wait but I was very busy with school, This chapter was supposed to come out yesterday, but I had no time yesterday.
