Change For The Better

A Light Of Hope

By OhMyBuddha

Where am I? Why am I in so much pain right now? Am I died? Wait that can’t be it, if I was I wouldn’t feel pain right? Why do I feel so warm? I hear some ponies talking. Who are they? Night Star thought while gaining consciousness. With the little energy he had, he was barely able to open his eyes. When he opens them, he suddenly shut them. The bright lights in the room made him go blind. He reached with his hoofs to rub his eyes and opened them once more. Now he had fuzzy sight but only last a few seconds. With is sight back to normal he realized that his right eye was covered but was more worried about where he was. looked around at his surroundings, He noticed the white walls with a few pictures of landscapes and cupboards filled of medical equipment. I guess I’m in the hospital. The door started to opens and a brown unicorn stallion with matching tail and mane with a white doctor coat walks in and a levitated a clip board from the end of the bed.

“Good morning Night Star, I see you’re awake. My name is Dr. Shine. How are you feeling?

“I’m in pain but besides that I’m doing fine.”

Chuckling “I assume you will be in pain but this will help” he floated a cup of pain killers for him to drink, which he proceeded to do. “Let those settle in and you’ll feel better.”

“Doc, how did I get here? How long have I been out for?”

“Well, Crackle brought you here when he found you passed out at the park and covered in blood and you been here about 4 days.”

“Do you know where he is?” Night Star said hoping he is around.

“He is outside would you like him to come in?”

“Yes please” with that the doctor left to inform Crackle that Night Star has awaken and that he wanted to see him. After a while he saw an armored Pegasus. “Thanks Crackle”

“No problem Night Star.” Crackle said with a smile. “What happen to you?”

“Got into a fight with Ale and a small one with Mariel.” Night Star Said.

“What!?” Crackle said with furry.” Those are great offends. They will do time!”

“Crackle let them be.” Night Star said with a relax tone.

“Are you sure Night Star?” Crackle said with a worried voice.

“Yes I am and what is going to happen to me now?”

“Fine, if you say so Night Star.” After a few seconds, Crackle spook again.”I talk to the Princess to see if she can find some relatives of yours?”

“Ha, Crackle I have no family” Night Star Said with Sadness “even if I did why would they take me in. they never met me before”

Crackle stood there taking in what Night Star said but couldn't say anything else. At that moment two other guards came in and right behind them the princess.” Good morning Crackle and good morning Night Star” Princess Celestia Said with a voice that can tame a wild beast.

“Good morning princess” Crackled said while bowing.

“Good morning Princess Celestia.” Night Star said.

“Crackle, guards can I have a moment alone with Night Star?” with that all the guard left the room and it was only Night Star and the princess. “Night Star what do you know about your family?” the princess asked.

“Nothing much besides that I was abounded by my parents when I was barely born.” With a sad Look on night Star Face said.” but why do you ask?” Night Star said with confusion.

“What about relatives? She asked ignoring his question.

“Don’t know.” With sadness in the voice of Night Star.” But not trying to be rude but why are you asking this questions?”

With a chuckle “you are not being rude. I did some research on you and I have found some information that you will shed some light of hope.”

“What is it?” Night Star asked with hope in his voice.

“Well to start this of you please don’t ask question until I finish” with a nod from Night Star she Continued “You come from a minor noble house from your dad side young Night Star. Your father’s sister who is the head of the house currently with her husband. They have two children. You may have heard of them. One is the captain of the royal guards and married to my niece Cadence and the other has saved Equestria several times and is my person student.”

“Shining Armour and Twilight Sparkle!?” Night Star said with surprise and confusion. “Sorry about that.”

“That is alright” the princess chuckle. “Yes I am talking about them. I will send a letter to twilight to let her know that she has a cousin that will be staying with her starting tomorrow.” The princess said with a smile.

“Wait, what do you mean going to stay with her starting tomorrow?” Night Star said with confusion “and what about my mother? Do you know anything about her?”

“Sorry but I don’t know anything about your mother and yes you will be staying with her so you can get better and so you can be around family for once.” The princess said with a smile that can kill.

“Thank you princess”

The princess gave a smiles that said No problem and with that she started to head to the door “princess wait.”

“What is it Night Star?” The Princess said while turning to face Night Star once again.

“Will twilight be the only one that will know of me?”

“Yes. Why do you ask?” the princess said.

“Can we keep it that way? I don’t want to get the rest of her family involved just yet.”

The princess looked puzzled but didn't want to ask why he requested this.” If you wish Night Star.” She said with a smile.” Will that be all?”

“Yes. Thanks again princess.”

“No problem” She said with a smile. With that she left the room. Wow starting tomorrow I will be living with a pony who I never meant before that is family. Hmm I wonder what she is like? Stuck in his thought Night Star drifted into slumber once again.

That night in Ponyville a young purple unicorn mare was reading a book until she heard her assistant yell out at her from the kitchen. “Twilight you got a letter from the princess!”

“Really?” Twilight started to trot down the stairs. I wonder what it is. When she saw the letter she used her magic to levitate the letter from her assistant claws. “Thanks Spike” and with that the young purple dragon when back to the kitchen to finish making Dinner. Twilight opens the letter and reads:

Dear Faithful student Twilight Sparkle,

I have good news for you. I have found a lost relative of you from your mother side. His name is Night Star. He is a few month younger than you are Twilight. He is your uncle’s son that not many ponies know of. He is a royale purple unicorn with a mane and tale of the same shade of his coat but he has the family mark of the strips going throw them which are a midnight black and purple. He was recently injured and is currently in the hospital. He will be living with you for a while until he gets better. He will be arriving at 12pm tomorrow in Ponyville. This is an order from me. He doesn’t have anything left in his life. You and your family are the only family he has and I have not informed your parents or brother yet from a request of Night Star. It will take time for him and you to get along and feel like family but make it work for both of you. I do feel that you two will get along well.

Your mentor,

Princess Calestria

Twilight read the letter over and over with confusion. “Umm Twilight are you okay?” Spike ask her while nudging her.

“Huh? Yeah I am. I think.” The confused mare said.

“Are you sure? You seem shocked.”

“Spike, get the guest room ready for tomorrow”

“For what? Are we having guest?” Spike asked confused.

With a weird tone in her voice.”Yes. It will be my cousin that I never knew I had named Night Star”

“Oh. alright.” The baby dragon said while walking towards the guest room.”Wait… WHAT!?”
