chapter 22: An present?

The next day Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash Fluttershy Spike Auriana and Talia were watching some music of their own and while they did Applejack Twilight and Rarity were styling their manes playing games and more while Iris was writing in her diary about what's she thought about

"Being adopted can sometimes be a strange thing. I mean even though Aunt Ellen has given me all the love and support I could ask for there have still been times in my life when I've wished I could see my real parents again more than anything in the world" Iris thought

Then suddenly someone pressed on the bell and got back to his hiding spot which some of the girls heard

"Iris, honey, could you get that?" Aunt Ellen called

"I'm coming!" Iris called back running down the stairs and opening the door "Yes?" Iris called before opening the door and being confused looking everywhere before looking down the ground and saw a music box and when she did she first read the note after picking it up

"To Iris, from your number one fan Thank you, number one fan!" Iris called before going inside and closing the door

But what she didn't know was that Mephisto and Praxina were behind the car chuckling

Back inside Iris was looking at the present in wonder but suddenly gasped as she opened it

"Beautiful!" Iris called when suddenly Aunt Ellen appeared from the bathroom

"I hope that's not a present for my birthday" Aunt Ellen asked while going to her bedroom

"It's not! You know I would get you something way nicer" Iris said only to hear Aunt Ellen sigh sadly

In Aunt Ellen's bedroom Aunt Ellen sat on the bed with a sad sigh which meant something bad happened and when she did Iris came into the room wondering what's wrong

"Iris, I'm not really in the mood to celebrate this year" Aunt Ellen said sadly

"Uh oh this isn't good if Pinkie heard this her feelings would break" Iris thought before going inside

"I found this" Aunt Ellen said as she pulled out a gray hair

"That's the reason? A hair?" Iris asked confused only for Aunt ellen to grab her wrist

"A gray hair! I'm getting old" Aunt Ellen said sadly which broke Iris' heart a bit and gasp only to find an confession

"You're not too old to me! Besides, you could be 300 years old and I'd still would love you the same" Iris said pulling Aunt Ellen up

"Aw, that's so sweet. But please, no birthday presents this year. You are the best gift I ever got" Aunt Ellen said smiling again

"We got your signal is everything okay" Twilight called running down the stairs with her friends

"Uh yes i just fixed it" Iris said happily

"Oh okay well in that case we need to practice are you coming" Twilight asks

"Yes coming!!!" Iris called before turning to Aunt Ellen "Sorry Ellen but i have to practice" Iris said before running off
