Glass Never Breaks in Equal Shards

Walker stared at this woman for a minute. she looked up at the sound of his voice. "...Walker?......Is....Is that you?" She asked. She touched his face with her right hoof. "Yes....It's me" He said tearing up with joy. He sat down and gave her the biggest hug. They cried into each others clothes. The rest of the gang was watching from a short distance. They were trying not to cry themselves. Walker and his mother kept tightening their embrace, never wanting to let go. It had been almost 2 years since Walker and his mother saw each other. "I thought you died, mom I was so scared." Walker mumbled in between his sobs. Just enough for his mom to pick it up from up close. "I thought I'd never find you, honey. I'm so happy!"

It was a great, heart-warming feeling for Walker. Catching up would be quite detailed. So much has happened between the 2 years. Walker went from sorrow, to it's peak, to happy, to friendly, to seeing his mother again! "Mom, how did you survive?" Walker asked. "I thought that stab would have killed you." "I did too" She said. "They took you away too early. Once you were taken away. The medic arrived, and I had a pulse. They were sure I was dead too., but they were able to get me to safety, and on life support, as well as seal the wound. It was close to my heart. It missed my heart by just a couple inches. I'm quite lucky... I recovered after being in a coma for months. I had to recover, so they wouldn't let me leave just yet. That took a couple weeks. After I left, I tried to get you. Your grandmother said you ran away, as if she didn't care. I was infuriated. I went home and cried. She said You'd been gone for almost two weeks. I know how far someone can get in two weeks. I put up missing flyers all over manehatten, no response, I tried to call the police. They couldn't find you either. It seemed like I was out of options. I had to just try myself. I tried the train many times. I went from city to city to try and locate you... This morning, I tried Ponyville. They had no record of you, and they said that there was a Walker strings who beat up someone at a school...I KNEW that couldn't be you.... So I tried Manehatten one more time...And...I'm here."

Walker's mother finished her statement. Walker felt sorry for her. She WAS alive, and she WAS looking for him. Walker sighed. "Mom, the Walker strings that beat up the kid, that WAS me... I got so angry at this dude I didn't even know, he insulted your death. Well, I thought you were dead...It pained me so much. I just snapped. The years of anger were just released in those few minutes. When I ran away, and managed to end up in Ponyville, I met someone who took care of me to this day. Pinkie Pie." Pinkie looked up, and smiled. She also waved, and said "Hi!" In her fun sounding signature Pinkie voice. "She saw me sleeping on a bench in the middle of winter, trying to use one of your old coats as a blanket. She convinced me to stay with her. She made me feel safe for the time I was there....She signed me up for school, she did her best, and I appreciate it so much....In fact, I still managed to practice guitar. I ran  away with it...In fact, I got my cutie mark with it...during the time I was homeless. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have changed to a more upbeat, happier person...I've changed for the better mom. I'm completely mentally transformed. Which is where the different eye color came from. My eyes change depending on my outlook on life. The brighter, and warmer the color, the happier, and more positive I am. My eyes are yellow. They've been yellow for awhile now."...His mom and him caught up on life. They shared their stories and grief.

"In fact, We're on our way to the Grand Galloping Gala." Walker said. His mother was shocked. "What?! Are you rich now?!" She said jokingly. "No, but Twilight here knows Princess Celestia very personally." Twilight nodded in agreement.

"It's funny, I was on my way to canterlot actually. It was the only place I haven't gone to yet."

The train arrived to Canterlot. It was time to walk to the Gala...Once they all arrived,  Walker and his mom agreed to meet at a nearby book shop in around an hour. His mom loves books. She would always go to a book store on her birthday. Nothing special. Just take a break from stress, and read all day.

The gala was packed. They all eventually departed from one another. Pinkie Pie stayed with Walker, seeing as He'd never been here before. Pinkie went, of course, to the nearest place that sold sweets. While Pinkie Pie was loading up her sugar arsenal, Walker Played his guitar a little bit. He noticed a young mare looking at him, about his age. He looked back, but she looked away. He went back to strumming. It was out of tune. He looked to the tuning pegs, and he saw the mare look at him again. He tried to return the glance...The mare looked away. Walker waved at her, to try and seem friendly. It worked.

She walked over to him. "Hi there." She said softly. Her voice was like a younger version of Fluttershy. It was adorable. The mare was very cute as well. "What's your name?" She asked. "Walker strings" Walker replied. "How about you?" He returned the question. "I'm Rose Butter" She said. "Oh, that's a very cute name, Rose." He said. She blushed. "Yours too." She smiled. "Would you like to walk around with me?" She asked. "Oh, sure. Let me just tell Pinkie." He said. "Who's Pinkie?" She asked. "She's kind of like my chaperone for tonight." He said.

"Hey, Pinkie,  I'll be walking around with Rose for awhile, okay?" He said. "oh, who's rose? She asked. "I just met her, we're going to get to know each other I guess." "Okay, try to be within 45 minutes. Your mom will be waiting, okay?" "Okay." I nodded.

Rose is very nice, and pretty. They both talked the entire 45 minutes away. Walker avoided sob stories, although it's mostly what he had. He didn't share too many personal experiences. "Well, I gotta go meet Pinkie back there." He said. "It was nice meeting you Rose." Walker said. Rose gave Walker a goodbye hug. Right before she ran off, she gave him a kiss on his lips as well. "Bye!" She said joyfully, and trotted off. Walker stood there. He was quite happy, but he didn't exactly know how to  explain what just happened. "Awwwwwwww!!!!" Pinkie said right as she was out of earshot. "ha ha, very funny." Walker tried to  brush it off. "That's weird." Pinkie said. "What?" Walker was confused. "Your eyes!" Pinkie's eyes got wide, and a little too close to Walkers face. "What, about them!?" He asked. "They're.... PINK" Walker was stunned. ".....Mirror..." He looked in the nearest reflective surface...They were indeed pink. "Well, Walker, you're in love!" Pinkie said a little too happily. "Well.....okay, so?" Walker tried to play it off.

......................................

Walker and the rest of the gang walked over to  the book store to meet Walker's mother after their time at the Gala. "Hello, Walker, how was the Gala?" She asked. "It was fun." He said, to put it simply. "Do you want to do anything else around Canterlot, Mom?" Walker asked. "Well, I'd like to see the Gala from afar, not up close, just from a nice distance." His mom was always one for landscape, and nice views.

They arrived back to the castle. "It's beautiful!" Walker's mom said. "Isn't it?" Walker agreed. The gang was a little farther back, letting them enjoy some time together.

It was a great night. But there's always that one moment, that spoils it all....."I finally found you both." This voice was all too familiar...No, it couldn't be...It unfortunately was. Walker's father. Drunk as ever. "Revenge is about to be a pain to you both." Walker thought he was in jail, but besides that, Walker stood his ground in front of his mother, protecting her. "so, you come in a nice suit, and try to protect your mother after your both re-united huh?" Well, let's all be a family...and DIE as a family!" He's crazy. He has to  be.He's pure psycho.

By this time ponies around the gala, including Pinkie, and everyone else, were staring down the horror about to go down. Walker's father trotted up quickly to Walker. Walker tried to punch,but his father dodged it, and Walker was stabbed through an opening. Time slowed down as the knife pierced Walker's skin. It stabbed him quickly, but it was felt slowly. The knife was dragged down  his chest, making the wound bigger. Walker screamed in pain. It was happening too fast. the knife was removed from Walker's chest. He fell to the ground.......

.........................

When he fell, The light appeared, and he followed it...... He saw the angel again. "It's my time isn't it? This time, it IS My time." Walker said angered. "It's your time alright...Time to Save your mother..." He said. "Your eye color ability can be used as a special ability. Like a super power.....Pretty much a super power" You'll be able to fly like a pegasis, as well as do magic like a unicorn, but You'll be more powerful, based on emotion. Your anger, your love, your depression, your happiness can all combine into one thing.....One single color......Take my hoof, and you shall go  back to reality, and save your mother with the knowledge I am about to grant you."

Walker grabbed his hoof. And their hoofs shined a blinding light.... In reality, he started to move. His dad was puzzled. He looked back. "Still alive huh?" He said. "Yep..." Walker said, still on the ground. As he progressively got up, he spoke. "There's something you don't know about me, dad...Something that makes me different.....My eyes change color based on my emotion, and outlook towards life....Happiness, love, anger, depression....It's all correlated dad....Because The intensity of all these emotions combined, create the greatest, and strongest color there is...." What does that matter? They're just colors." Walker's head was the last thing to show. He lifted his head, and opened his eyes. "White! The color of PURITY!" He opened his eyes, and they shot rays of blinding light. Walker's dad had dropped his weapon. "This color is like a super power......" He said. Walker flew in the air, like a pegasis, without wings... And conjured magic, without a horn... He aimed his hoofs towards his dad. "Goodbye, father...." A large ray of light blasted his dad. He vanished. Walker blinked, and descended on the ground slowly. His eyes turned back to their previous color. Yellow. Everyone's jaw was on the ground.This random pony just went super hero. His mother ran to him, and embraced him. "We're safe now, mom."

"Indeed. We could use powers like that here." Said the royal Princess Celestia. She trotted before him. "Your purity and your emotion combine together to give you great power. You're an earth pony, yet you have the strength and ability of an Alicorn. "Thank you, Princess." Walker replied. "I'm glad to hear such nice words, from the goddess herself."

I hope you and your mother will accept my offer, as I have a large house in Canterlot I can give you both, all you have to do is help me if we need it. Purity, and ability like that may be needed for the elements of harmony some day. My treat."

Princess Celestia JUST gave Walker, and his mother free housing in the greatest town in All of Equestria.  In fact, I've heard your mother paints very, very well....I think We'll have a good spot for her talent.

.....................

3 years later

"Alright, mom, Catch you later,  gonna go  see Pinkie, and my friends!" Walker said. "Okay, honey, be safe." Walker was now able to completely control his ability to fly,  and conjure magic. His eyes almost never change another color besides white, and yellow. His mom is now always able to display her talent somewhere in Canterlot, where people from everywhere check it out, and purchase it.His dad was banished to, you guessed it, the moon. He didn't know at first why it's there, but He figured it out after Luna went there, and saw him. He managed to get somewhere with Rose. She plays music as well. She's extremely good at drums. Walker actually also  picked up electric guitar. They might start a band of some sort, but who knows.

And to think that all this happened, because Walker happened to choose to sleep on the bench by Sugarcube corner..... over 5 years ago....
