A New Life and a New Home.

"Quick Miles. That one has a camera. Pull a pose."

"I'm about to die and you want me to pull a pose?! Why not?"

Pulling a double peace sign and a large smile the shot was taken leaving Miles to return to screaming.

"AAAAAAAA..."

"Shut up. They caught us."

"What?" Opening his eyes Miles came eye to eye with five of his pegasi classmates, one of which was Swift, who gave a wink

to the freaked out Miles.

"You owe us one."

"I figured. I'll buy lunch for us all. Now if you could put me down on the floor so I can park my bike I shall be in class shortly."

"Miles!" MRS. Sunbloom shouted from the window.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Report to the principal's office immediately!"

"Yes ma'am."

As Miles was placed back on the floor he parked up the bike on the edge of school grounds and walked up to MRS. Ruth's

office, only to be greeted by the headmistress locking the door.

"I'm sorry, but you will have to come back later, I have a meeting to get to!"  Said the headmistress as she brushed past him angrily.

"Yes ma'am."

"Oooooooooo. You're in troubleeeeeeeeeeee." Discord taunted.

"Ahahaha ha ha I'm going to be murdered in my sleep aren't I?"

"No. I can't allow that. It would be bad for us all."

Back at his classroom Miles sat in his seat only to be punched in the head from the side.

"What was that for?"

"Nearly killing yourself. Don't do it again."

"Swift! Be quiet. Miles, what are you doing here!?"

"I was told to go see MRS. Ruth later because shes in a meeting."

"Fine. Get a book out of the cupboard and turn to page forty six  and do questions one through six."

"Ok."

"Don't ok me! You endangered other students as well as yourself! Get your book and shut up!"

"Wow. I thought she was one of them calm and quiet teachers that everyone loves because they never raise their voice."

"Me too Discord, me too."

Turning to page forty six Miles took a sigh of relief in his head. "Only six questions, this should be easy."

Miles looked at the questions and stared in disbelief. Question 1) a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o. 2) a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o. 3) a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o. etc etc.

"Celestia take me now."

"Just hurry up and do the work. You're in deep shit already and it will only get worse if you don't."

"Alright. Do you know the answers to any of these?"

"Lets see... its multiple choice for the first few, a, b, c...a."

The lessons went by uneventfully and boring as in any school, up until the lunch bell.

"Time for lunch class. Be back here in an hour." MRS. Sunbloom's cheery demeanor returned.

"Come on Miles. Time for you to buy us lunch." Swift pulled him by the collar out the door.

"So where are we going for lunch then?"

"Lets go get a bite to eat at that cafe up there. It looks nice."

"Great. More money to spend."

"Would you rather be dead?" The group deadpanned.

"Depends on how much you make me spend. I only have twenty five bits on me."

"It won't cost that much. Most places have things for two or three bits each."

"Well thats a relief. But what do they have that I can eat?"

"Fruit."

"I hate this world." Miles mumbled to himself.

Sitting in the cafe the group chatted idly about their social lives. As the orders came the ponies just stared into their drinks. "I wish I had a coltfriend." One of the group sighed.

"Me too."

"Me three."

"My coltfriend's a jerk."

"How come Maple-star?" Swift asked.

"He hits me for any reason he can think of. He is a bully and I hate him but I'm too afraid to leave him."

"Thats awful! Why didn't you tell somepony?"

"I tried but he got really mad and then he beat me."

"Well if you need to talk to somepony I'm here for you." Swift comforted her friend.

"Me too."   "Me too."   "Me too."  The rest of the group chimed in.

"What about you Miles? You're here for her right?"

"Well..........."

"Well look what we have here." Three very large 80's gang member looking ponies came to the table. "Why isn't it my marefriend and her little baby friends. And look at this, she's with that disgusting human thing."

The group looked at Miles for his reaction but found none.

"Aw. We looking to the freak for protection? What do you think that can do? I bet he couldn't take on even a child." The gang chuckled.

The group looked once more but still found no reaction from Miles. "What are you doing here Jockstrap?" Maple-star said sternly.

"Buhahahaha. Oh hohoho my. Jockstrap. What a name. Oh god my sides." Miles laughed uncontrollably resulting in shocked gasps from his friends.

"You think my name is so funny! Huh tough guy? Whats so funny?"

"On my world, a jockstrap is a piece of clothing that holds our balls in place during sports. Ahahaha." The group chuckled ever-so-slightly and so did the other two gang members.

"Well how would you like it if I kicked you through that wall? Well, that's what I'm gonna do!"

"Looking from the size of you I would dare say you could. And if you did I would guess it could possibly kill me. I say go ahead and do it."

"Aha. Someone who isn't afraid of death. I like that. Maybe I was wrong about you."

"Aha ha....Jockstrap." Miles tried to suppress the chuckle but only succeeding in pissing him off.

"So whats going on here then?! Are you cheating on me with this sack of shit?!"

"Ooo. Big pony words. Well done." Miles clapped his hands.

"You are, aren't you?!"

"No I swear! We're just friends, please don't hurt me!" Maple-star pleaded.

"You're in for it now. You thought you had it bad before. Now you're going to rethink the definition of pain!"

"Leave her alone!" Swift shouted standing in front of her friend.

"You think you can stop me? Guys, get them away from her."

The other gang members did as ordered and restrained Swift and the other three ponies.

"Leave them alone! You don't know what you're getting yourself into!" Miles sipped his drink.

"Oh no? What is going to happen?"

"You will have to deal with me. And trust me, when you hurt me I won't care too much but when you hurt a friend, you see, thats when I get real unpleasant."

"Ahaha. You think you can do anything? Why do you think you aren't restrained, you can't do shit." He spat in front of the cowering Maple-star.

The cafe just stared quietly, afraid of what is about to happen, knowing they can't do anything. Crowds on the street began forming to see what the noise is all about.

"Miles whats going on? Ah heard a commotion and thought you might be in trouble again." Applejack shouted running from her cart to the cafe

"Just some prick who doesn't know what is about to happen to him if he so much as touches Maple-star."

Jockstrap lifted his hind legs ready to kick but never made contact as he was pinned against a wall by a glowing red Miles.

"Told you bad things would happen." Miles began laying punch after punch to Jockstrap's ribs resulting in sickening cracking sounds. "I told you. I'm not nice to deal with when you try to hurt a friend." Miles' voice became like that of a demon's.

"Twilight! Pinkie! Celestia! Everyone! Get here now. Miles has gone berserk!" AJ shouted through her earpiece.

Miles dropped the bruised pony to the floor and kicked him in the face knocking out a tooth. The enraged Miles dragged the broken pony to the edge of the sidewalk and kicked him into the road. Placing the pony at the edge of the road he knelt down on one knee and got uncomfortably close to the injured stallion.

"I told you. Did you listen? No. Now you pay the price." Miles whispered into his ear as the other two gang members fled the scene. "Now put your mouth on the corner of the sidewalk."

"I don't wanna.." The he whimpered. "I'm sorry." Tears ran down his face.

"I SAID PUT YOUR MOTH ON THE CORNER!"  Miles screamed at him.

Jockstrap complied with tears streaming down his face. With his mouth acting like he was biting the sidewalk Miles brought up a foot to the back of his head.

"Say goodbye to your teeth!"

"Noooo! Please! Mommy!" His muffled screams fell on deaf ears.

Miles slammed his foot down only to be caught millimeters from the crying stallion's head. Looking down Miles saw a familiar purple aura around his foot stopping it going any further.

"Let me go Twilight. I have no quarrel with you."

"No! You've done enough! You're already in for it with Celestia. Do you want it to get worse?"

"It doesn't matter what I say. You're either going to let me go if you think I won't hurt him or you're going to throw me and beat me into unconsciousness where I'll wake up with severe injuries and you feeling awful for what you did. Make your choice."

"Will you leave him alone if I let you go?"

"Tell me. What do you think."

"I'm so sorry Miles." A tear rolled down her left cheek.

*Bang*

As the magical blast hit him Miles flew backwards through the air into the path of an oncoming carriage full of construction supplies. Hitting the carriage Miles could feel himself falling into a dreamless state of unconsciousness. Unable to keep his eyes open, he could hear the gasps of the crowds nearby and the shouting carriage puller asking what just happened.

"Twilight Sparkle!"

"Princess Celestia? How much of that did you see?"

As Celestia spoke Miles had finally succumb to his injuries and blacked out.

*****

"Where am I?"

"In your old room at the castle. Celestia brought you here after Twilight did a number on you."

"I can't feel my body. Did I lose feeling because it was that bad?"

"Nope. You're paralyzed from the neck down."

"Its not even surprising anymore. Can you fix me?"

"It would take a lot of my energy. I could be waiting years for it again."

"Damn. Celestia better fix me."

"She can. But she might not want to. You're still in deep shit as you would say."

"She better fix me or I'm going to..........CRAP!"

At that moment a guard stepped through the door wearing armor as black as night instead of the usual golden color. "Good. You're awake. Stay here while I get Celestia."

"Sure. Its not like I'm going anywhere. Prick. Making fun of me being paralyzed and shit." Miles mumbled to himself.

"They don't know you're paralyzed, only we do. They think you were just unconscious."

"This sucks. And why would he have to get Celestia? And for that matter, how long have I been out?"

"About eight hours or so. And there is something happening tonight but I can't remember what."

As Discord stopped talking a bright light engulfed them emanating from Miles' feet and slowly swallowing his body "Hold on. This is a teleportation spell by Celestia. I'll try and stop it." As the light got brighter and more blinding Miles shut his eyes hoping Discord had not put him in the forest by accident.

"Where....where am I?" Miles opened his eyes showing groups of well dressed ponies all stood around the room giving him odd looks.

"What? You should have been in the other room. Why did you end up here?" Celestia was taken back. "Something was stopping my magic. Guards, go check for magical anomalies in Miles' room."

"Afternoon Celestia. And for why I'm here I don't know. There was a bright light and then I was here." Miles lied hoping his story seemed believable.

"Hmm. Very well."

"Where am I? If I may ask." Miles asked still laying on the floor.

"You are at the Grand Galloping Gala. Its a once a year party." Twilight interjected.

"Are you alright? I hope you aren't hurt. Celestia ordered us to stay away from you and let you rest." Fluttershy butted in.

"I'm fine. But why did I get brought here? I thought I would be in trouble for this morning and be grounded."

"You are in trouble but for now you can be here as it is only once a year. I may be strict but I am not cruel and unfair."

"Thank you. You're so kind." Miles said sarcastically.

"Do not take that tone with my sister! We will have a word with you in the other room." Luna stood to attention defending her sister.

"I'm afraid not your highness."

"Why not? And get off the floor. Ponies are trying to move around but you're taking up the space."

"Well, you see, when Twilight hit me with her magic. It injured me."

"I know. That is why you were unconscious yet it doesn't answer why you are on the floor still."

"Simply put your majesty. She crippled me. I cannot move from the neck down. All I can do is lay here." This resulted in shocked gasps and awes from the crowd.

"Oh my."

"Can you fix me? Or am I going to be cripple forever?"

"Let us go into a private room. We will talk and then we shall fix you."

"I'm still in for it aren't I?"

"We'll see. For now let us get you fixed." Celestia picked up the crippled Miles and took him out of the room with Luna following behind.

Closing the door behind them Celestia's horn lit up and the lights turned on. Placing Miles' limp body on the floor Luna's horn gave out a purple light as Miles' body was covered in a black shroud.

"That feels weird. I can feel a fuzzy feeling in my arms. Hey its working! Ha, and my legs. I can feel them again."

"You better not do this again. This is extremely hard to do. Even for an alicorn."

"It was Twilight who did it. She shouldn't have blasted me."

"We shall speak with her in due time. But for now, MRS. Ruth and MRS. Sunbloom, would you like to come in now."

"What? They're here?"

"Well, seeing it was our students you endangered. It is only fitting we are here too." MRS. Ruth came through another door followed by MRS. Sunbloom.

"Fair enough."

"Now Miles. Explain yourself." Celestia ordered.

"I was late so I did what I did so I would be on time to class. I believed it would have been covered by the pass."

"Don't be so stupid. That was for small things. You should know better than that." Celestia scorned.

"Did you think you would get away with that? Did you really think it was a good idea?" Luna chimed in.

"What do you want me to say? I'm sorry? I regret what I did? Tell me!"

"We want to know why you are acting like you are. We know about you going into town and getting drunk with your friend. We know you have been getting your temper up recently. And we know that you went way overboard with the punishment of that pony at lunch time today!" Celestia continued the scorning.

"Just leave it. I'm not worth the effort. Whether you want to believe it or not, I am a teenager and am bound to do stupid things from time to time. Even if I think about everything I ever do it will still happen. Eventually I will do something that causes an injury. I don't want it to happen but I can easily tell it will. Just teleport me to a random part of this world and get rid of me! Everyone else got rid of me! I wasn't good enough for them! I've done nothing but cause hassle for all of you! I am not worth it! I learned that a long time ago!"

"Calm down, Miles. Sit and tell us what has you so worked up." Celestia's tone changed

"Its June 25th today. My parents were killed tomorrow nine years ago when I was seven! I miss them! I want them back! I have no family! I'm all alone! Growing up I had no one else. Even the orphanage didn't want me. My own people tried to murder me several times. The other times it was just a savage beating. They tried everything to get rid of me. Do you know how that feels? That on a planet of seven billion of my kind, not one of them wants me around. Just try to imagine that! Now you know why I'm not acting the same." Tears slowly filled his eyes and the atmosphere of the room changed.

"Miles. You aren't alone here. You have us all here. Why didn't you tell us?"

"If you were an outcast from an entire planet would you tell everyone? I understand you and everypony else is trying to be there for me and make me feel at home but it isn't the same. You aren't family. I care deeply for you all, I really do, but I want my parents back. All I ever wanted since I lost them was the chance to say good-bye. I never even got to go to their funeral. I hate how they were taken from me so mercilessly! I hate how I can't be accepted on my own world! I hate how everything gets me stressed and worked up!" Miles screamed at the top of his lungs and was glowing crimson red.

"That's why you get violent easily. That's your stress relief. Its how you let your anger out. I see." Celestia thought aloud to herself.

"What do you mean sister?"

"Well he can't do anything to relief stress other than his job or being violent. And he must have a lot of it. Imagine an entire planet hating you and not caring if you live or not."

"That is an amazing feat. Even through all that you managed to be nice to everypony who wanted to be friends and even to those who didn't know you. You didn't attack everything and you did as you were told. I must say doing that is amazing."

"What I really hate though, is that whenever its like this. It turns into a massive sob story from my past that I want to forget. Every damn week this happens! It always gets brought up in one way or another! I'm fucking sick of it!"

"Please Miles just calm down. None of us like seeing you like this." MRS. Ruth pleaded.

"Its always about you lot isn't it! Your problems get fixed by me! You needed someone to talk to and you came to me! When is it going to be my turn to let it all out?! When do I get to take my frustration out on something?! When do my problems get to be fixed?! And to make matters worse, every time I get close to letting my problems out I end up like this!" Miles looked around at the four faces across from him. Each with looks of horror and sorrow.

"You have Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. They're your marefriends. You problems are meant to be shared with them, Together in the good times and bad."

"I love them. I really do. But I can't just drop my problems onto them. They don't know what I went through or even what I'm going through right now. Everyone will say they understand how I feel. Tell me the name of one pony who is like me. Hated by every living thing on the planet. And if I were to share my problems it wouldn't help. If I were to go through them they would leave me because I'm too much trouble. I'm too broken to be fixed. But all I have ever really needed was for one person or pony to talk to who won't judge me or hate me no matter what I say. I can't have that."

"Miles...."

"You know what. I'm done. I won't be a bother anymore and you won't have to worry about me." Miles turned and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Away!"

Throwing the doors open the crowds of ponies backed away from the door. The ponies looked away or tried to make conversations with each other but the tension was still there in abundance.

"Miles....we..I...you.." Twilight stuttered.

"Miles. Why do you think you can't share your problems with us?" Pinkie and Fluttershy looked hurt.

"I'll share my problems with you if you can answer me this one. Why am I hated by over seven billion of my kind? Tell me that and I'll share my life story with you. From beginning to end."

"We..we can't."

"As I said."

Miles headed for the door ignoring the stares from the crowd. Without warning the doors flung open sending Miles flying onto his back.

"Watch where you're going you piece of...Blueblood!"

"Oh its you again. Whats this glowing thing you're doing? Something to impress the females I take it? Luckily for me I don't need to do anything other than be me. The ladies adore me." The prince talked down to Miles.

"Hehe. You poor fool. You have no idea what this means do you." The glow slowly faded as Miles continued.

"A feeble attempt at attracting a mate?"

"Wrong. Lets let the crowd decide. Who want to tell him what this red glow means or should I just show him?" Miles knelt down and put his arm around the prince's back. "Nopony? So be it then."

"Take your thing off me at once! And what are you doing here?! You aren't welcome."

"I was just having a conversation with Celestia, Luna and a couple of teachers. Is that a problem?" Miles stood back up accompanied by Pinkie and Twilight at either side of him.

Fluttershy hovered behind him wrapping her fore-hooves around his neck in a loving embrace calming him down.

Pinkie nuzzled into his leg seeing that he was calmer than before. Twilight just stood under his arm as he scratched the top of her head and enjoying him running his fingers through her mane.

"Is that the shouting I heard? Ha. I can tell you why your planet hates you. It isn't that hard to see."

Miles' eyes narrowed and his body became that of fire. His skin blocked from view by a magical blaze emanating from within him. The fire was neither hot nor cold but intense. Slowly he approached the prince leaving behind a trail of fiery footprints burning on the floor but with no damage to the room itself.

"BIG MISTAKE! YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD IT BAD LAST TIME! THIS TIME YOU WON'T WAKE UP!" Miles shouted in a booming demonic voice.

As the prince tried to turn and run he was stuck on the spot held back by the fiery Miles. Lifting Blueblood up by his neck his outstretched his arm and summoned a blade of fire out of thin air.

"LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A NEW TOY TO PLAY WITH! LETS SEE HOW IT DOES AGAINST SHIT BAG PONIES LIKE YOU!"

"Please no! I'll do anything! Whatever you want, just say it and I'll do it! Please..."

"ANYTHING HUH? I WANT YOU TO DIE!"

Miles thrust the fiery blade at the prince's exposed stomach only to be stopped by Celestia herself. Looking at his arm there was a pure white bracket around his wrist with a magical white chain attached to the tip of Celestia's horn.

"LET ME GO! I'M GOING TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE DESERVES!"

"NO! You have have attacked a member of the royal family! You shall face your punishment!"

Ripping back the chain Miles was sent flying over the room into a tall pillar sending it crashing onto him.

"You shall face your sentence in isolation, never to return! Be gone!" Celestia flared up her horn and engulfing Miles' fiery form in a white light.

"Ahaha. Like I said Celestia, just a matter of time before you're done with me and throw me away when you're bored of me."

As Miles disappeared Celestia stood and watched where Miles once stood. "That. That was Miles?"

"Celestia! Were did you send him?" Pinkie cried at the princess.

"I don't know. I have only done the spell once before and it sent Luna to the moon. He will be imprisoned in a random

desolate place. He could be underground or on the sun or moon.  There is no way to tell."

"NOOOO!" Pinkie and Fluttershy cried at the top of their lungs with tears pouring out.

"What was Miles doing like that? How did that happen? I walk into the room and there it was. A big fiery beast. I am so so sorry. I didn't know." Celestia fell to the floor unable to stand on her own legs.

"What did he mean when he said it was only a matter of time? Time for what?" Twilight comforted Celestia

"How much did you hear of the conversation?" Luna took over.

"That he couldn't share problems and that he was leaving. We couldn't hear it all." Twilight looked at the floor.

"Go up to the throne room girls. We'll be up in a few minutes to explain everything."

As guards cleared out the castle of party guests Miles' words rang in Celestia's head over and over again.

"Only a matter of time princess. You'll be bored of me just like all the others."
