A Hidden Past

After a few minutes of crying to herself, Celestia headed home. She didn't know why Discord did this to her. Why did he do this to her? She didn't know. When she got home, her father gasped when he saw the bleeding scratch on her cheek. He then ran up to her, wondering how this happened.

"CELESTIA! WHAT HAPPENED?" Cosmos asked.

Celestia sniffed.

Cosmos would see the dried tears on her cheeks. He wondered why she was in this state.

"My daughter, whatever is the matter?" he asked again in a comforting tone.

His daughter looked down at the ground. She knew her father would not be happy about what she was about to say. Would he be mad at her? After a long silence, she broke down crying again. Her father leaned down and hugged her.

"I-I'M SORRY, DAD!" the young pony said, sobbing loudly.

"Shh..." her father said softly, trying to calm her. "It's alright... what happened?"

Celestia quickly pulled herself together. She then took a deep breath.

"D-Discord scratched me on the cheek..." she said nervously.

Anger was now rising inside of Cosmos.

"THAT LITTLE BRAT!"

Celestia gasped in horror.

Galaxia came dashing into the room. She wondered why her husband was yelling like this.

"COSMOS! WHAT IS GOING ON?" she yelled at him.

Her husband turned to look at her.

"THAT LITTLE DRACONEQUUS SCRATCHED CELESTIA'S CHEEK!" he yelled right in his wife's face. His wife ignored the fact that he yelled right in her face.

"WHAT?" his wife exclaimed. She looked over to her daughter, seeing the scratch on her cheek. She then gasped and ran up to her.

"Oh, my little sunshine! Are you alright?" she asked her daughter in a comforting tone.

All her daughter could do was nod. She couldn't speak at the moment due to her father's huge temper.

"CELESTIA CANNOT SEE THAT BRAT EVER AGAIN! SHE WILL ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE UNTIL SHE IS OLDER!" Cosmos announced.

Galaxia sighed and turned to look at him.

"Cosmos... may we talk in private?" she asked.

Cosmos gave a sigh before he spoke.

"Alright..." he finally said, heading towards a room, Galaxia following him.

Celestia was now alone.

...

Discord had just gotten home from getting his revenge on Celestia. He ate his breakfast that his mom cooked. After he was finished, he went to his room.

Is Celestia the pony I thought she could be? No, it can't be..." he thought.
