My Little Family

The night we got back from the Crystal Empire, when I went to sleep, I got a visit from Princess Luna.

“Hello Johnny.”

“Good… night, Princess Luna? How are you?”

“I am doing good. How about you?”

“I’m doing good, thanks for asking! How come your here?”

“I usually visit ponies whenever something is wrong. So, what’s going on?”

“How about we go for a walk first?” I snapped my fingers and we were in Lemoyne.

“As much as I would like to, I have to visit other ponies dreams.”

“Alright. There’s actually been two things on my mind. The first one, I don’t want you telling anypony else other than Celestia, alright?”

“Got it.”

“Alright, I’m bisexual.” She looked at me with shock in her eyes.

“Not something I was expecting, but congratulations.”

“Thanks.”

“There was something else?”

“Yes, but for this one, you can’t tell anypony or anyone, not even Celestia. Can you Pinkie Promise me that?”

“I don’t know if I can Pinkie Promise, but I’ll do what I can do.”

“Alright.” I sighed. “I’ve reformed Queen Chrysalis.” She was now shocked even more. “I found her in the Everfree Forest, and I gave her the chance to come with me and have a new life, and she chose that, and she’s been nice to Puppet, the Mane Six, Starlight, and I.”

“So, she’s in your house now?”

“Yes, but you can’t tell anypony. I’m trying to get her to become comfortable so she’ll be fine with talking with Celestia. But, the other problem is that I don’t know how Celestia will act. I don’t know if she’ll be fine with Queen Chrysalis being around, or if she’ll put her in a jail cell.”

“I understand. I won’t tell anyone.”

“Thanks.”

“Before I go, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but at the beginning of September, Twilight sent us a letter about how you wouldn’t be in Equestria during the month.” She hugged me and said, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

“It’s okay, you couldn’t have done anything. Are you sure you can’t stay?”

“Unfortunately not.”

“If you have anytime before I wake up, will you come back and hang out with me?”

“Sure.”

“Alright.” I snapped, and a whole bunch of fireflies came and picked me up while “Fireflies” started playing.

“Have a good rest of your night.” I said as the fireflies started flying off with me.

“You too!” She yelled. For the rest of the dream, “Fireflies” played while the fireflies flew me around Lemoyne.

When I woke up, I had breakfast and then went to a store and got some roses. I also got a suit as well. Tonight, I was going to ask Delilah out. I brought the items up to my bedroom, and then went down to the portal room and went to Twilight’s castle. I knocked on the door and when she answered, she let me in.

“So, how are you?”

“I’m doing good, how are you?”

“I’m good, thanks for asking! Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Remember the girl I told you I have a crush on?”

“Yes.”

“Well, tonight, I’m going to ask her out, and I was wondering if you guys could hang out with Chrysi tonight, and play some games with her while I’m out.”

“I can do that but we’ll have to see about the others.”

“Alright, thanks Twilight!” I said, then hugged her. “I’m going to leave about 7:30, so come around 7:25.”

“Alright.”

The Mane Six and Starlight came at 7:25. They complimented me on my suit, I said goodbye and left. I walked to her house, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door.

“Hey…” she looked at me and said, “...what’s the suit for?”

“Delilah,” I started, “I know we’ve only hung out for a few days, but I like you. You’re nice, funny, smart, and attractive. You have everything I want in a person.”

There was a pause before she said, “Alright, where are the cameras?”

“What?”

“Wait, you were being SERIOUS!?” She started laughing, probably dying. I know I was on the inside.

“You think that I would love you? You know today isn’t April Fools, right? Why would you think I would love you? Listen, Friends is on, so I would like to get back to watching that. Bye.” She closed the door, and I stood there for a few seconds taking in what she said, and walked home.

I came in the back way, and when I closed the door, everyone turned around.

“You’re home early.” Starlight said.

“Hey guys.” I said in a sad tone.

“What’s wrong?”

“She… didn’t… I’m going to head up for the night. I’ll tell you what happened tomorrow.”

When I went to sleep, Princess Luna came again and we were in Lemoyne again.

“Hey.” I said, still sad.

“Hi.” She said.

“You don’t seem happy.”

“Yeah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Remember how I said that I was bisexual?”

“Yes.”

“Well, earlier I asked the girl I liked out, and she rejected me.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“But, it’s not just that she rejected me, it’s the way she did it. She thought that it was some sort of prank.” I started tearing up. “She was like, “Why would you think that I would like you?” and “You know today isn’t April Fools, right?””

“Oh my, that’s horrible!”

“I know. I guess I should have expected it.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, when I was in school, I used to sing, but I stopped when the other kids made fun of me for it, and she was part of it. But I decided to give her another chance since that happened a while ago, but I guess she didn’t change.”

“I’m so sorry to hear about that.”

“It’s okay, you didn’t have anything to do with it.” I hugged her and said, “Thanks for listening.” I let go and walked out into the middle of the street. “You can go talk to the other ponies now. I’ll be alright.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.” I then started playing “Fireflies” and the fireflies came picked me up, and flew around the town again.

I woke up the next morning, feeling a little better than I did last night. I went downstairs to have breakfast, and Chrysi and Puppet were sitting at the table.

“Hey Johnny, how are you?” she asked. “You didn’t seem that happy last night.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t.”

“How come?”

“I’ll tell you later. I’m going to Twilight’s castle later to tell them about what happened last night, and I would like you guys to come with me. But, in the meantime, tell me about what you guys did while I was gone.”

“Well, we played Uno. It was pretty fun. We continued playing after you went upstairs. It took a little bit since there were ten of us playing, but Fluttershy ended up winning.”

“Well, good for her.” We continued talking until I finished breakfast, and then I went to play some songs. I played "Warning", and then I played "Letterbomb". During the chorus of "Letterbomb", the Mane Six came in. The let me finish and then I walked out of the booth.

"Hello, girls. Thank you for letting me finish." I thanked them.

"No problem!" Starlight chirped. "Are you okay? You didn't look to happy when you came back last night."

"I need to tell you now or later. Have a seat." They sat down in some chairs.

“Alright, so I went to her place and I knocked on her door. She answered, I told her that I loved her, but she rejected me.” Everyone looked sorry for me. “But, I wasn’t upset because she rejected me. Well, I was, but only partly. I was mostly upset because…” It started to become hard to talk. “...of the way… she rejected me. She… she thought that it was a joke!” I bursted, everyone looking at me with shock, half because of my outburst, and half because of what I said. “She said things like, “Wait, you’re serious?” and, “Why would you think that I would love you?” and, “You know today isn’t April Fools, right?”” I had a stream of tears on my face now.

“See, she was one of my classmates, and I decided to give her a second chance, since it happened a while ago, but she hasn’t changed.”

I then got up and said, “I’m going to go skate for a little bit.”

A few days go by and I’ve gotten over what Delilah said. Today there was a knock at the door. I opened it and it was Delilah (obviously). She asked if we could talk. I stepped outside with her and she asked, “How come we haven’t been hanging out lately?”

I looked at her for a few seconds and asked, “Can you say that again?”

“How come we haven’t been hanging out lately?”

“You’re serious?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, remember when I told you how I felt about you? That’s why.”

“What do you mean?”

“WHAT DO I MEAN?!? Delilah, you thought it was a joke! You asked me if I knew that it wasn’t April Fools! You laughed at me after I told you my feeling were serious! I decided to give you another chance after what happened in school, since it was a while ago, but you really haven’t changed.”

“I didn’t know it hurt you that much.”

“Which shows even more how rude you are. We aren’t friends anymore! Goodbye!” I yelled closing the door in her face.
