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.
