Chapter I - It's magic.

Today is the last day of school before vacation. It was a sunny day, with no clouds on the sight, and a nice temperature. It is a surprise to me, but I'm really happy about it.

Even with all that happened through these years, I'm still able to smile most of the time. Some people would say that it wouldn't be normal, but there are many things to be happy about.

Even though my father is at prison, and my mother's job is merely enough to cover our school, there are still so many things to be happy about. I've my mother, I've my sister Melissa, and I got my friends at the school; what else I could ask for?

When people ask me why my father is at jail, I don't know what to say. The official version is that he stole very expensive equipment from the lab he worked on, but the last time I saw him at home, he told me:

"William, listen to me. There are going to be people, people that will say horrible things about me. But no matter what they say, I'm telling you that I did nothing wrong. It's just that... sometimes, people dislike when you try to help someone who's different, and they will do anything in their power to stop you. But it doesn't matter, as long as you did what is right."

I always believed on him, even with all the mean stuff people tell me about him.

You aren't supposed to have a cellphone at prison, but he managed to hide one with him. And almost every night we talk about my school life, and his life in prison; and he doesn't seems like a liar, or a theft; but the things that people say make me doubt of him sometimes.

The only thing that really makes me suspect that he is innocent, is the fact that 'reaserchinc' never spoke exactly about what equipment he supposedly stolen. That, alongside with the pure person that he is, tells me that something's wrong.

I returned home by walking. It wasn't that far and my sister was already there since she was sick. I decided t go through the everfree park. It was a nice park, the shortest way to go home, and a perfect way to start my vacations.

While I was walking through the park, I heard a voice shouting:

"What is this place!"

I continued my walking, it was probably nothing. But then, something stumbled with my legs.

"Ouch!" a... white filly, with a horn and wings... spoke!? "AAAHH!!" she screamed to another filly with a dark blue coat. "It's one of them! He come back to hunt us!"

"Wait, no!" I shouted while I grabbed them to avoid them from escaping. "I wont hurt you! And I'm not one of 'them'."

They seem to calm down after a while. I have no idea of what they are. They are two little winged unicorns! But, they act as a child would do and, honestly, they seem like they need my help.

After 5 minutes, the dark blue one asked: "Wh-who are you sir?"

"My name's William." I responded. "Do any of you has a name?"

"N-no." the white one responded.

Then, a helicopter, yes, A HELICOPTER! Flied just above us. I covered the two fillies with my black coat, as I heard one of them shout: "Are them! Are them! They found us!"

Then, the helicopter leaved as fast as it appeared.

So there was people searching for these fillies. I didn't know who, or what they are, but I knew that they needed my help.

"Hey, I know that you don't trust on me but... maybe you'll be safer at my home. It's not far from here, and my mother might let you stay."

"What's a 'home'?" the white filly asked.

"Well... it's like a safe place where nothing can hurt you, and your family lives."

"What's a 'family'?" the blue one now asked.

"What's a...!" ok, these little horses or 'ponies' were truly alone for too much time. "Well, they are people that'll always love you, no matter what."

"Oh, a home sounds like a wonderful place!" they both shouted. "Could you please take us to your home?"

Those little faces... I couldn't resist anymore.

"It'll be a pleasure." I responded.

I grabbed them, and hide them under my coat. I practically ran during my way home. I don't know how I will explain this to mom, since I don't understand it yet. Melissa probably will take this with more wonder, and amazement than her. But I know one thing: this fillies, no, this kids need help, and I am probably the only one that could bring them the desired help. Also, they don't know what a family or a home is. They need a family as soon as possible, and from what I see, they didn't have a single family or friend ever.

I just hope that I could help them.

I finally reached my home. I rang the bell of the front door and waited. It was not such a big home, but it also was not very small. It had just one floor, a red roof, cream colored walls, and several windows. Even though it's not that expensive, it's still a miracle that we could keep this house after the huge legal problem we had after my father's arrest.

"Wow!" the smaller one spoke up. "This home is very pretty!"

"Actually, this is just a house." I responded. "The real home is what is inside."

They were still under my coat, since I knew that we had a camera my mother always checked before letting anyone in. Then, the door opened, and we got quickly to the living room.

My sister wasn't there, probably she was resting at our room. I let the 2 fillies out of my coat for them to understand that I really won't hurt them.

"What the..!" a familiar voice spoke from behind me.

"Mom!" I said as I turned. "I know it seems weird, but I'll explain. Or at least, I'll let them explain."

"Who is she?" the white one spoke.

"I that horse... TALKING!?" my mother shouted.

"Yes, but they are not ordinary horses, they are..."

"So it's true." she spoke.

"What is true?" I asked to her, now confused.

"This will take a while, let me explain." she spoke up, as she invited us to sit down on the sofa.

I obeyed, not knowing what was going on. What was true? Who and what are this fillies? And why were they being hunted?

I just hope she gives me a REALLY good explanation for all this.

Chapter II - And it's real.

"When your father got arrested," my mom started speaking, "he told me that the real reason of his arrest, was that he created 2 beings that could create and use an energy called: 'magic'."

"Magic?" I asked a bit confused.

"Yeah, magic!" the white filly spoke up. "Like this!"

Then, something wonderful happened. Her horn began to glow with a golden aura, and then, the sofa in which I and my mother were got lifted a few centimeters of the ground

I stared with amazement to what the filly was doing, and barely could believe it. It's magic! And it's real!

I was so astonished that I lost my ability to speak. Luckily, my mother recovered more quickly than me, and when the sofa went back on his place, she continued speaking.

"W-well, anyways, I never believed on him since I thought that magic wasn't real, and just a tale for kids. And I believed less on him when he told me that the 2 beings he created: the Celestial solution," she said while pointing a finger to the little white one, "and experiment loona," now pointing to the smaller one, "where 2 horned and winged little ponies that developed the ability to speak, and were as human as you and me."

The fillies now stared at amazement at my mother. The white one asked to her:

"Wait, you know mr. Tyler!? He was the only nice person we ever met."

"Of course, he's my husband." she responded. "Anyways, I never believed that he was a criminal, but I also didn't believe on that story, until now."

"Bu-but what are we supposed to do now?" I asked a bit nervous.

She took her time to respond. Clearly she was as amazed as me.

"Y-you won't throw us out of your home, wright?" the dark one asked worriedly.

That was enough for my mom. She now clearly knew what she had to do. "Of course not! B-both of you can stay here if you want. I can only imagine what you went through in all those years."

The eyes of the dark one expanded widely after hearing that. "You heard that sister! We are in a home! And we are welcomed!"

Both fillies then proceeded to hug us very tightly. I could feel their love and happiness in their hug, but also their fear and worries as they cried.

"If you are gonna live with us," I spoke, "You'll need better names than: the white one, or 'experiment loona'."

"And what names should we have?" the white one asked, yeah, I definitely need something better than 'the white one'.

"Hmm, how about I call you: Celestia?" I asked to her.

"Yes! Yes! Celestia is a wonderful name!" the now named Celestia shouted.

"And what about me?" the blue one asked.

"Well... could your name be: Luna?" My mother asked to the young filly.

"Luna. LUNA! You hear that sis, I'm Luna!"

"And I'm Celestia!" Celestia shouted.

Both fillies now begun to jump excitedly without control, screaming and shouting their names as my I and my mother stared at them with smiles and tears on our faces.

"*Coff coff* Mom." another young and familiar voice sounded from the hallway. "*Coff* What's going..." then, my sister stared at the 2 ponies that were jumping on the roof. "A-are th-those, unicorns!?"

"Yes." I responded. "And before you ask mom for them to stay, you should know that they are already staying."

Melissa approached to Celestia and Luna with very slow steps. The 2 fillies stopped jumping and stare at the 5 year old girl with amazement.

"Are you William's sister?" Celestia asked.

"Ye-yes." Melissa responded. "I'm Melissa."

"Cool name Melissa!" Luna spoke. "I'm Luna! And she's my sister Celestia. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine." she said. "I never saw a winged unicorn before!"

"Actually, some scientists told us that we are: alicorns."

Alicorns huh. Well, the name makes sense at least.

"Well, you 2 should be hungry." mom spoke. "Would you like to eat something?"

"Sure!" Luna shouted excitedly. "Thank you miss..."

"Bianca." she spoke. "Now, what about some rice with tomato sauce?"

"That sounds great but, what's a sauce?" Celestia asked.

"I guess that you didn't eat any kind of sauce back at the lab." I spoke. "Don't worry, you'll love it."

As we headed to the kitchen, I could only thought about the missing things in these fillies childhood. They need to be kids as soon as possible, otherwise the damage to their minds could be permanent.
But I think we can give them just that.

Chapter III - Lies.

After having a rice based dinner, in which I checked that no meat was included, we headed to my and my sister's room. Since these fillies probably never slept on a proper bed before, I decided to give them mine and the only inflatable mattress we had.

"Wow!" Celestia shouted. "This is the biggest and nicest corner I ever saw!"

"Wait, corner?" asked Melissa.

"Yeah, corner. The place in which you sleep." the white filly responded.

"Well, this is a bed, not a corner." I spoke up." And from now on, I'll watch that you sleep on one of this every night."

"Really!" Luna shouted from my bed. "Thank you William!"

And then, the 2 ponies proceeded to hug me. As well as my sister, which was very excited about all of this, and to be honest, so I'm.

When I was heading out of my bed room, I heard Luna's voice saying:

"Wait, you are not going to sleep with us?"

"Well, there is no place for me to sleep here, so I'll go to the living room to sleep on the sofa."

"B-but I'm scared!" the dark blue filly spoke with a worried voice.

"Don't worry Luna," I said to her, "Your sister and Melissa will be with you, and if you need me or Bianca, all you have to do is call for us."

"O-ok." she responded.

"Well, if that's all, good night Celestia! Good night Luna! Good night Melissa!"

"Good night William!" they all responded in unison.

I went to the living room, and crashed into the sofa. It took me a while to get asleep, since all that happened in this few hours was amazing. Two talking ponies! And with magic! It was truly something that no all people will experience in their life. But after an hour of laying in the sofa, staring at the roof, I finally went asleep.

I was on the school, but all my classmates were ponies like Celestia and Luna. I know I was dreaming since this was just too ridiculous to be true. But when I was about to simply just let the dream going, I heard Luna's voice from above me.

"AAAHH!" her voice screamed.

I searched for the origin of her voice but with no success. But when I was about to give up, I saw a big white thing in the sky, from where her voice shouted:

"HELP ME! PLEASE, SOMEONE!"

At first, I didn't know how to reach it. But then I remembered that this was a dream, so I just imagined a staircase that lead me to it, and in a matter of seconds, I jumped into the white thing.

Then, I appeared in a weird place in which I saw tons of bubbles. All of them containing the weirdest amount of situations. From a girl being chased by a giant cat, to a 70 years old man flying a spaceship.

"What the..." I was about to say, but then I heard Luna's voice again.

"WILLIAM! SISTER! SOMEONE HELP ME!"

I then saw the origin of her voice: a bubble, brighter that the others, in which Luna was tied to a metal table, and a person with an anti radioactive suit was holding a knife.

"Luna!" I shouted as I jumped into the bubble.

When I got in, Luna's eyes were fulfilled with hope and happiness. The man holding the knife turned and stared at me. I didn't have to loose much time, so I grabbed the hand in which he held the knife, and then I kick him in the weak zone every man has. In an instant, he, as well as the lab we were on, banished; leaving Luna tied to the metal table in a white void.

"Luna!" I shouted as I approached to release her from the table. "What's going on. What is this place?"

"I-I was having a nightmare." she said with some tears in her eyes. "Again. But thank you for helping me though."

"Wa-wait, this is a dream?" I asked.

"Yes." she responded.

"But ho..."

"I have the ability to enter others dreams." she spoke. "As well as letting others entering my dreams. I-I was never able to use it fully, since they lock me every night in a container which avoided me from using it."

"And this is your nightmare?" I asked. "Being killed by a scientist with no way to defend yourself?"

"Ye-yes." she said with more tears on her eyes.

"And how did you let me in?"

"I-I don't know," she answered, "I just desperately wanted anyone help, but I don't know how I did it."

"Don't worry Luna. I promise you that you'll never have to experience something like that ever again when you are awake. And whenever you go to sleep, just remember that is just a dream, and when you wake up, your friends will be there for you."

"Ok but, what's a friend?"

"Oh, well... that's something I would like to tell to your sister as well. For now, let's just enjoy the rest of the night."

When I woke up, I saw Luna on top of me. Saying:

"Thank you William."

The rest of the morning went very smoothly, after all, it was the first day of vacation. I made some pancakes for my sister and the 2 fillies, not before I asked them if they could eat them, and after Celestia told me that they could eat anything except from meat, I started the preparation.

My mother joined the breakfast as well. We were simply just having a good time, until the TV, which my mother turned on, said something that caught everyone's attention.

"... These 2 fillies could appear to be harmless and cute, but are really dangerous beings that escaped the reaserchinc labs." the man of the news was saying, while also displaying 1 photo of each filly that was on our table. "They could bite, port diseases, and even tackle people with their horns. Also, they can mimic human voices, but don't let them scam you. They are just very dangerous animals that escaped from their lab. If you see them please call the number on scre..."

"Liar!" Melissa shouted. "Tia and Luna are not just some dumb animals. Also, they never bite!"

"Tia?" I asked.

"Yeah, the contraction of Celestia." my sister responded.

"What are we going to do!" my mom shouted. "If anyone sees them, they are gonna call reasearchinc!"

She was right, we couldn't keep them on the house forever; and if they go out, they will be spotted. But then, an idea materialized in my head.

"I know!" I shouted. "We'll fight the lies with the truth!"

"And how are we supposed to do that?" my mother asked.

"With this." I said pulling out my phone from my pocket.

Chapter IV - Truth.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" my mother asked.

"Honestly I'm not sure." I answered. "But I know that if we don't do this, probably they'll never have a true and good childhood."

"Again, what I've to do?" Celestia asked, while standing i front of the cellphone in my hands.

"Just talk about yourself." I answered. "Tell them about what and who you are, and that you are as human as everybody else. Also tell them about what you are afraid of, what do you want, and then let Luna talk."

"O-ok." she spoke nervously.

"Don't worry," I spoke to her, "if it doesn't go well the first time, we can just repeat the recording. Now, are both of you ready?"

"Yes!" the 2 fillies exclaimed.

"Well then, 1... 2... and... 3!" I said as I pressed the recording button on the screen.

"Ok, well..." Celestia began to speak. "Hi everyone! My name is Celestia, and this is my sister Luna." she said pointing a hoof to her sister. "As you can see, we are not exactly humans as you, we are alicorns. But I promise all of you that our hearts and souls are as human as yours! What we are asking you today is for your help, we were created by researchinc, but we aren't just some dumb, dangerous animals that escaped from their lab as you probably saw on TV. We have emotions, feelings, and those people at that lab truly hurt us in vary ways; that's why we escaped."

"We are asking all of you for your help." Luna then spoke. "We need you to fight those lies with the truth, we need your support and total reject to the researchinc labs. About where are we right now, we can't tell you. All you have to know is that we are safe, and on great hands."

Then both fillies ended up shouting: "We are just kids, please help us!"

"How was it?" asked Luna after I finished the recording. "Do we need to repeat it?"

"Repeat it!" My mother shouted with some tears on her eyes. "That was perfect! I almost cried!"

"Almost?" Melissa asked sarcastically.

"And where will you 'update' this video?" Tia asked.

"Everywhere; youtube, instagram, etc. All of them from a safe and anonymous account." I spoke. "Now, let's do it!"

Anna on her bedroom, she was watching a video on youtube, a video that went into trending out of nowhere. A video that took the 2 dangerous fillies that she saw on TV, and that she thought that were dangerous. But with this video, she was now not sure of what to think.

"Anna! Dinner is ready!" her father called from the kitchen.

"I'm coming!" shouted the teen.

She then proceeded to eat her dinner, while his father stared at the TV.

"I really hope that they find those 2 pony monsters soon," he spoke, "their horns could be dangerous."

"Wait, do you know that they are probably lying, right?" his daughter stated.

"Why would they do that?"

"Beacouse they were bribed!" Anna shouted.

"And who says it?"

"Celestia and Luna!" she shouted as she pulled out her phone from her pocket.

"I really hope that what results of this will be good for them." Bianca spoke, while placing on the floor of my room the new inflatable mattresses that she just bought.

"Also me." I said.

"William, can you tell us a story?" Melissa asked with a lovely voice.

"What's a story?" Luna asked.

"What's a story!" Melissa shouted. "Well, a story... is like a... um..."

"A story," I continued, "is a fictional or real tale that is told for teaching something, or for mere entertaining."

"And what story would you tell us?" Celestia asked

"Well..." I said while searching in my book library something that this fillies will enjoy. And after a few seconds, I found it: 'The little prince'.

"This one!" I shouted. "Or at least the first 3 chapters.

Chapter V - More legal problems.

"Director Osvaldo!" a young man with a white lab coat shouted to his boss.

"What!" the bald man responded. "Did someone found those 2 fillies? It would certainly be nice to be able to continue our research, now that we are this close."

"Well... there could be a problem with that." the young man responded.

"What problem?" Osvaldo said with the most unfriendly sight his face could show. "They died!?"

"No no no!" the young man answered quickly. "It's just that... you remember Wilson right?"

"Yes, the one that betrayed his kind for the sake of 2 lab rats. But what happened with him? I thought that we imprisoned him for a long time at the capital's prison."

"Well... you see. He had a son and a daughter. Well, they found the 2 fillies, and uploaded a video; a very, VERY viral video. In which the 2 fillies, now named Celestia and Luna, tell everyone about our lies at the news program."

"And his son appeared in the video?" Osvaldo asked.

"No; in fact, he was very cautious to try to keep his identity safe from the public. But one classmate of his school recognized that the place in which the video was recorded was William's house."

"And why this should matter to me?" Osvaldo asked with a disgusting voice tone.

"Beacouse the internet's reaction was VERY aggressive!" the young man shouted. "In a matter of 1 week, a movement with the objective of giving them human rights was created."

"Do they achieved success?" the director asked.

"Well... not yet. But they are close to..."

"Then just go there and reclaim our property!" he finally shouted.

Uff, last week was crazy. A classmate of Melissa recognized the place in which we recorded the video, and told the internet who and where are we.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the people gave us their support, and begun a pseudo war against researchinc. Also, we had to deal with the tons of people that wanted to meet Tia and Luna, but luckily, they weren't too insistent with it.

"William, your mother cooked lasagna!" Tia shouted. "What's that?"

"Lasagna!?" I shouted, since that's my favourite food. "Really? Well... it's like... well... just wait until you eat it, you'll love it!"

We sat down on the table, ready to eat the lunch, and Celestia was the first one to receive her piece.

"MMMMMM!" she exclaimed. "This is the tastiest thing I ever tried, thank you miss Bianca!"

"You are welcome Tia." my mother replied.

I then proceeded to devour my piece, but instead of the delicious taste of the sauce with the meat I found... eggplant?

"Coff! Coff!" I coughed. "Well, this isn't what I was expecting."

"What's wrong with it?" Luna asked. "I think it's delicious!"

"Nothing, it's just that I'm not used to vegetarian lasagna, that's all."

"Oh, so you eat this with meat?" the white filly asked.

RING! RING! RING! The ringer shouted.

"I'll go." I said. "Don't worry, I won't take long."

I then went to the kitchen, (in which the screen displaying the image form the camera was) and use the phone connected to a speaker to speak to the visit.

"Hello, who are you?" I asked.

"I'm from resarchinc." the man spoke to the camera. "I know who you are, and what you have in there. You and your family have stolen private property from our facility. Just return them to me and no one will get hurt."

"Oh, yeah, researchinc. How about I say: no."

"Then I will have no other option beside..." he was trying to say as I placed the phone on his place.

I thought that the thing will just stay there, but when I returned to our table, (which was outside) I saw tons of people with guns pointing them to my mother, my sister, and the 2 fillies. When I got outside, one of them pointed one to me.

"I told you that there would be consequences." the same man I saw in the camera spoke to me. "Now, if you can excuse us, we are leaving." he said as 2 of his man grabbed Tia and Luna. "Don't try anything! Or I'll open fire."

I was so busy searching for a way to save Tia and Luna, that I didn't noticed when Celestia's horn began to emit golden sparks.

"No! No! No! You won't harm my family!" she shouted.

"Family?" the man from before spoke up again. "Look at them! You are not from his same species! They don't consider you or your sister as family, they are just using you to be famous."

"Liar!" she shouted, as more sparks began to emanate from her horn. "Shut up!"

"No, you shut up! I don't wanna hear childish complains in our way to researchic."

"I said, SHUT UP!" Tia exclaimed, as a blinding light emanated from her horn, which make me cover my eyes.

When I reopened them, I saw the same scene as before, except for the fact that their guns were now replaced by bananas. The five guys were very confused at this, but I didn't loose time to put in practice the things that I learned in my teakwondo classes. If I had to describe in a phrase what happened next, I'll do it with: they probably are not returning here in a long time.

"Is everyone all right?" Bianca asked.

"Yes." I, Tia and Luna responded.

"Th-they tri-tried to kill us!" Melissa shouted. "They, they, they..."

She was interrupted by a dark blue filly hugging her, and also saying: "Don't worry Melissa, we are fine and nothing bad happened."

Then, my mother approached to me and whispered to my ear: "What are we going to do!? They will try this again, and we might not be this lucky next time."

"Well..." I tried to respond. "The only thing that comes to my mind is that we manage to give them rights. I didn't told you, but the national senate had been receiving too much pressure from the public, that they are going to let us join an audience in 2 days to determine if Tia and Luna qualify as sapient beings, and deserve rights."

"More legal problems?" she responded. "You know that we have the record of failing twice against the legal system. What makes you think that this time they are not just going to inject money to the court to make their lies count?"

"Beacouse this time everyone knows the truth." I exclaimed. "And even though I'm not sure if we will win, I have more hope now than before. Who knows, maybe this could be the beginning of dad's return to home!"

"Maybe, maybe, but you know how this works. Once you involve yourself in one of this things you know how you get in, but you don't know how you get out." she spoke. "I just hope that this girls could be just happy kids right now."

"Me too mom, me too."

That night, after reading more chapters of the little prince to the girls, I wrote some messages to my dad. He already knew about the fillies escape from the lab, and was happy to know that they were happy. This night, I told him about today's incident, and how Tia saved us; and this is what he said:

"Hi William, I'm glad to receive another message from you. So Celestia did that! Maybe their magic has become a lot stronger than I originally predicted. But don't worry, I'm 100% sure that they won't do anything to harm you, your mother, or your sister.
I've to go, a guard will check me very soon, and I don't want him to catch me using this cellphone.
A huge hug, dad."

With that, I closed my eyes and went to sleep. I didn't told him about the audience in 2 days, since I don't want him to worry.

I just hope that the lawyer that the people found for us can deal with what's about to come

Chapter VI - Victory!

This is the day, the day in which we'll see if the truth can defeat the lies.

I was outside of the court alongside with my mother, my sister, and the fillies. We were nervous, not just beacouse I'm afraid that they just define Tia and Luna as simple animals, but beacouse one thing more concerning: where was our lawyer!

A woman was running through the city with some papers in her hands. The woman's name was Clarissa. She was already a very good lawyer before accepting the defense of the Tylers. But she was tired of making guilt people went without any punishment for their crimes, as well as good and innocent people go to that horrible place called jail. Maybe that's why when the recently created movement to give those fillies human rights was created, she immediately offered her services for free. She wanted to do something good at least for once. And also, beacouse of what happened to that family.

She was a bit late to get to the court, but it was worth it to obtain the papers she held in her hands.

When my mother was about to have a nervous crisis, our lawyer finally arrived at the place, but I don't know if her presence make any good for my mom's state.

As soon as she noticed who she was, she froze completely. It was the lawyer that sent my dad to prison! I was a bit angry, was this some kind of cruel joke? Will she sabotage our defense?

"You! You! You are the one that...!" my mother tried to speak.

"Yes, I'm." she spoke. "And before you say anything, I wanna say that I'm really sorry for what I did to all of you."

"But! But! But you...!"

"I know what I did, and that's why I'm defending you for free! I know that the court is probably bribed by researchinc. And even with my help, I didn't know if we could do it. That's why I took a bit longer."

"To do what?" my mother asked.

"To obtain this from researchinc." she said as she showed us the papers that she had at her hands.

"And remember," director Osvaldo was talking to the judge, just before the session started, "don't grant them rights, and 5 millions of dollars will be added to you bank account."

"I'll try." he responded. "But the situation here is very delicate. There's too much pressure from the public that if they present something big, I'll have no other choice but to surrender."

The session started, although Melissa had to wait outside since her presence was not required.

I had to testify the moment in which I met this fillies so I could be here.

Even though we had great pressure at our side, we still had to face the fact that Tia and Luna were technically property of resaerchinc. Our lawyer did an amazing job doing her defense, but it still wasn't enough to convince the court.

But when I was starting to loose hope, Anna decided to play her last card. A card that neither me or my mother knew what was exactly.

"... And this papers a worker from reaserchinc was so kind to hang me, shows that the fillies brain structure is exactly the same as a human one."

Wow. I didn't know that, but that might help. I just hope that is good enough for us to win.

When we get out, Melissa was waiting for us. When she noticed us, she immediately stood up and spoke:

"What happened in there?" she asked. "Do we won?"

Then, to her delight, Tia appeared from behind me and shouted:

"Victory!"

As always, I accept suggestions.

Chapter VII - Fear.

It’s been almost 2 months since the win in the court. The vacations are coming to an end and I came up with idea to sign the Celestia and Luna for school. In a few days we will be able to meet the director of local elementary school in town. He was one of the members of movement, that made a petition to grand human rights to the fillies.

“Celestia, Luna, can you come down? I have something important to tell you.” My mother asked. After a moment both fillies were in the living room.

“What’s the matter miss?” Celestia asked.

“Me and William came up with idea to sign you to school, since you have human rights.” my mom explained.

“What’s school?” Luna said.

“Well…” I started “it’s a place where you learn basic things about the world, and also different subjects. It will be important for your future. We will be signing you both to the local elementary school. We will be meeting with the director of it to talk about accepting you to it.” I told them. Both were very interested in it, but also very nervous.

“Is the school… safe?” asked Celestia, looking not so sure about that question.

“I guess so?” Melissa answered, looking at Celestia, she was little surprised by this question.

“What we will do in school?” Both asked.

“Well, you will learn, maybe play. You can there other kids and make new friends” Said my mom. This sentence backfired, as both of fillies scared away and flew into my room.

I looked at my mom with disbelief about what happened seconds ago. “I don’t think that they are happy about this.“ I said.

“Maybe you should talk with them?” Melissa proposed.

“I think it will be better to let them be for some time. They need to think about this. Maybe they are scared?”

“Yea. They didn’t look confident when we started talking about school. Maybe they don’t want to trust anybody, since the escape from researchinc?” My mom said.

“That’s possible. Since almost everyone wanted to hurt them there. I’m gonna wait some time and after that I will go to them.” I stated.

“Good idea.” my mom commented.

I was gonna met them in around 15 minutes, but while I was waiting and scrolling through YouTube I was still thinking. Why are they so scared?

Celestia and Luna were hiding in William’s room, like somebody from researchinc was looking for them. They were scared. They didn’t want to meet anyone. They didn’t trust anybody besides William and his family.

“S-s-sister? Wh-wh-where are you?” Celestia asked silently.

“I-I-I’m here Tia” Luna answered, but Celestia didn’t see her. After a moment of concentration she spotted her sister in the dark corner of the room, almost blending in with the background.

“Come to me Luna. Everything will be okay.” Said Celestia slowly coming to hug her sister, but Luna started crying. “What’s the matter Lulu?” She asked looking at her sister with sad look.

“I-I-I’m scared.” Luna finally said.

“Just as me.” her sister answered.

“But Celestia, think about it! When we will be in school, we will be in a room with dozen of unknown kids and adult, that some can be Researchinc spies. There we can’t scream for help or run to William. There we can be easily captured, even if some kids stand in our defense, they won’t do much. We will be easy target sister” Luna said, almost crying again “They can capture us again and torture us for escaping!” She ended.

Celestia hug her and stayed with her for around one minute also crying. “We can’t trust anybody besides William’s family” Luna added. They were hugging still for some time, when they agreed to go to bed and take a nap. Maybe this will help them calm down, they thought.

While I was waiting I took a quick nap. While dreaming the Luna appeared in my dream. She hugged me instantly and started crying. I didn’t say anything and allowed her to cry out. After she (and me too) finished crying, I started asking her

“What’s the matter, Luna?” I asked her.

“I-I-I don’t want to go to school!” she answered through tears.

“Why you don’t want to go?” I asked again. I really wasn’t surprised about it, because they where kids, I was expecting it.

“I-I-I was thinking about it, and I came to conclusion that it wouldn’t be safe to go to public place just yet. The people from researchinc…” I stopped her. I knew what she’s gonna tell, that was quite obvious.

“Don’t be scared” I started “School is a safe place. Teachers will help you adapt and get to know new kids. It’s not that scary believe me.” I was looking into the Luna’s eyes. I saw sadness but most importantly, scare. Scare of being kidnapped and tortured again.

“Maybe I will wake up and meet you in person?” I proposed. Luna agreed and soon enough, I woke up. I went to my room to meet two sisters, and talk to them.

I knocked at the door, but no one answered. I knocked again. This time, Luna came to the door and opened it for me. I entered my room and saw Celestia laying on my bed, sleeping.

“Do we wake her up?” I asked Luna. She nodded in approval. I shared her a little and saw eye opening. “I came to talk. No need to be scared about me.” I smiled.

Celestia sat on my left while Luna on my Right, and I started telling them my story from 1st class of Elementary School.

“I think I was in your age when I went to 1st class. I was scared. What if I won’t fit? What if everyone just betray me, so I will be alone forever? I knew that i couldn’t contact my mom while being in school. When the first day came, I didn’t want to leave house, but after some time I got to know every person in my class and also I made some friends. It will happen to you too. Now, you’re scared of coming, of being alone, but know, that in some time, your class will get used to you and you will have friends. And also remember. You’re not alone. Me, my sister and my mom are here. You can talk with us at anytime, we will help how we can.” I finished

After this ‘speech’ if you can call it like that, they both hugged me with tears. “I love you William!” they said at the same time. It seems that my story helped them to understand, how school will look. And I was very happy about it.

"Director!" the same assistant with the white robe spoke to Osvaldo. "I heard some rumors that talk about the possibility of Celestia and Luna to enter in a school. They will be pretty vulnerable there. Do you want to try anything?"

"Are you dumb, or just stupid!" Osvaldo responded. "We are now at the eye of the controversy! If those fillies disappear, it would be pretty obvious that we are the ones responsible about it. Besides, if this new experiment goes well, I don't think that we would need those ponies ever again." he said while pointing a finger to a glass container, in which there was an amorphous creature, snake shaped, with lion paws, bat wings, a horse head, and 2 different horns.

"What is that thing!?" the man with the white robe almost shouted.

"You like it?" Osvaldo spoke with a malevolent smile on his face. "I call him: The Discord!"

Chapter IX - Philomena.

Today was the last day of vacation, and Celestia was almost impossible to calm down. In a few hours, we will be heading to the school to start a new year, and they are gonna have their first first day of school. Now their nervousness was at its peak, and they didn't wanna go to sleep. Even if they were tired as a... well, I don't know any thing I can compare them to, but today we went to a park and started racing each other for hours, so they are REALLY tired.

"No!" Celestia shouted. "I don't wanna sleep yet! *yawns* It's too early to sleep."

"Tia, It's already 10:45 PM." I responded. "If you don't sleep now, you'll be tired tomorrow, and in your first day of school! Just look at Luna and Melissa, they are already asleep." I said while pointing my and her sister already asleep on their respective beds.

"But, *yawns* I'm not tired."

"Your yawning tells me another thing." I said while trying to contain my laughing. "And I'm tired as well, so please, can we just sleep now?"

She looked mad at me and then spoke:

"I just wish day lasted forever."

"Oh, but that will be a very bad thing." I responded.

"But why? Daytime is the best time, it's not as cold as night, it's not dark and creepy, and you can play on it!"

"But if daytime lasted forever, life would be impossible." I responded.

"Wait, really!?" she shouted with a worried expression.

"Nighttime is required for the temperature to get cold again. Without it, temperature will just get hotter and hotter until the earth becomes an oven. And that's not a good thing, right?"

"I, never thought about that." she responded. "I didn't knew nighttime was required."

"It is, now come on. Let's get you to sleep."

And here we are, at the front of the school. We entered as mom leaved with the car, and the fillies immediately caught all of the eyes of the children. At this, Luna hugged my leg with fear, and Celestia seemed that wanted to do the same, but I spoke to them:

"Don't worry. With enough time, they'll see you as normal students, and some of them, as friends. Common, I'll show you where your classroom is."

After leaving the fillies at their new class, I headed to my own. I reunited with my classmates, (which didn't stopped asking me things about Celestia and Luna) and started my favorite class: physics. After it, and an hour of literature, it will be break time and I would have checked on Tia and Luna... if our recesses coincided. I just hope that they do ok.

"Hello kids!" the teacher said. "I'm miss Rose. This year, 2 new students will join us. They are a bit different from you and me, but I know that you can treat them with the same kindness you show to each other. Now, meet Celestia and Luna Tyler!" she said as the fillies leaved their hiding spot behind the teacher's table.

The kids in the classroom were astonished at the presence of the alicorns. Some of them knew about the existence of the 2 sapient ponies, but never thought that they are going to come to their school. Meanwhile, Celestia and Luna just took their seats, and avoided eye contact with anyone beside the teacher. They were too nervous to talk to anyone.

After an hour, the bell rang, meaning that the recess of the little children just started. In an instant, all of the children leaved the classroom, leaving Celestia and Luna confused.

"Um, teacher." Celestia spoke. "What's happening now?"

"It's break time." she answered.

"And what are we supposed to do?" Luna asked.

"Well... you know, go out, play something, and make some friends."

"O-ok miss Rose." the white filly managed to say.

Then, both fillies went out of the classroom and immediately searched for any signal of William or Melissa, but none of them were around. They decided to go to the exterior park beacouse, in Tia's opinion, it had pretty colors. When they went out, half of the kids out there stared at them as if they were an alien thing, which was not far from being true.

They just sat beside a tree that was on the place, and stared at the other kids as they were playing. They were too nervous to do anything or even talk to each other, until their pony ears perceived a very familiar noise at the other part of the tree: the sound of pain.

"NO! STOP IT!" they heard a girl's voice shout from behind the tree. "You don't see that is injured? It fell from its nest!"

"Common Lara." the voice of a child spoke up. "It's just a bird, and a very old one. It will probably die soon anyways."

When the two fillies went to see what was going on, they found that a girl the age of the kids in their class, was trying to protect a very old and injured bird from another kid with a rock on his hands. The scene in front of their eyes remembered them so much about them, that Celestia decided to speak.

"Hey, wh-what are you go-gonna do with that stone?"

The kid them approached to the fillies, but then he noticed that a teacher was staring directly at them, so he decided to drop his rock and say "Nothing." and leave.

After that, Lara stared at the two sisters with astonishment. She saw when those fillies joined her class, but wasn't brave enough to go and talk to them. But now that the situation presented itself, she decided to speak:

"A-are you unicorns?"

"Well, since we have wings, technically we are alicorns." Luna spoke.

"What was that kid trying to do with the rock?" Tia asked.

"He wanted to... he wanted to... he wanted to crush this bird." she said while pointing a finger to the injured bird on the ground.

"Oh no," Celestia spoke, "she's injured!"

"She fell of her nest up there." Lara said pointing to a pile of sticks in the tree. "She got too old to fly." she said with a sad voice. "And she's dying."

"DYING!" Celestia shouted, as her horn began to glow. "No! She can't die, not NOW!" she shouted as a blinding light emanated from her horn.

After the light was gone, all that remained from the bird was a pile of ashes. The girls were very scared at this, until something red and orange emerged from the ashes. It was the same size and shape as the bird that was there before, although her feathers were now colored red and orange, and its peak was as shiny as gold.

After rising, she immediately landed on Celestias back. It the mind of the bird, no human, besides Lara, has been kind to her. And now some weird quadrupeds saved her from death. And even though she wasn't sure of how, she wanted to thank them.

"Wow!" Lara said. "What was THAT!"

"I-I think I used my magic," Celestia said, "sorry."

"Sorry!?" Lara answered to Celestia. "I've met this bird last year and thought that it wouldn't survive vacations. And then you use MAGIC to avoid her death!? I think that that's not a thing to be sorry about."

"You know this bird?" Luna asked. "Does she has a name?"

"Well, I named her Philomena."

"Skuark!" Philomena shouted after hearing her name.

"I'm Lara by the way." the girl said. "I heard about you on the news, but I don't think I remember your names."

"I'm Luna."

"And I'm Celestia, but you can call me Tia."

The girls didn't knew it yet, but that was the beginning of a friendship.

"How was your day?" I asked to both fillies as they found me outside of the school.

"Great!" both fillies shouted.

"And we made two friends!" Celestia shouted.

"Oh, nice. Could I ask their names?"

"Yes, Lara and Philomena." Luna stated.

"Philomena?" I asked a bit confused, I didn't knew Philomena was a name.

"SKUARK!!!" I heard from above.

Then, what happened was something I never thought I'll ever see. A bird covered in flames was flying towards me and, when she was close enough, she fired flames to me, that would have burned my face, if it wasn't by a golden and transparent wall that blocked it.

We were back at home, after I almost died. Tia was shouting something to 'Philomena'. I guess that the now magical bird can now understand her, otherwise I don't understand.

Then, the phoenix flew towards me, and placed her head towards me, as if it was an: I'm sorry, and y petted her on the head.

"I'm so sorry William." the white alicorn spoke up. "I never though my magic could make this kind of things."

"Don't worry," I responded to her, "As long as mom doesn't know what she almost did to me, this topic will be closed right here."

"Bu-but that's not what worries me!" she shouted. "What if I hurt you with my magic? What if I'm dangerous?"

She had a point, but I don't wanted to make her afraid of herself, so I spoke:

"Then we will teach you how to control it."

"You know how!?" she exclaimed.

"No, but there always has to be the first one at something. We can practice on this Saturday."

"Really!?"

"Yes, and Luna will come too. I think she might need it as well."

Chapter X - A little problem.

A few hours passed, and Tia and Luna were planning for entire night how to show Philomena to my mom. Meanwhile, Philomena was hidden in my room, so I couldn’t step inside since there was so much light, like sun came to my room only to blind me. At night, Tia took her (finally) from my room and placed in the living room.

“Miss, can you go to the living room for a moment?” Celestia said while near her was Luna that was crying from ‘laugh attack’. I was looking at them from the kitchen and silently laughing as well

“I’m coming, I’m coming. No need to yell at the whole house.” My mom said coming downstairs. When she finally arrived the ‘show’ began.

“After everything you done to us” Luna started “we wanted to give you something in recompense for giving us everything."

“So…” Tia silenced Luna, which looked at her with anger “We want to give you a gift from us both!”

“A-a gift? Thank you girls! You didn’t need to, everything that you gave me, your happiness, are already a gift for me” She said and started hugging them. “So can I ask, what is this mysterious gift?”

“It’s this!” Both sisters shouted, as Philomena apeared from the hallway.

“AAAAAA, GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!” She yelled, scaring Philomena, which started flying towards me. I also got scared, since last time I had contact with the bird? Phoenix? Doesn’t matter right now, I almost died. If Celestia didn’t intervened, my face would be burned by now. But now, she was doing something else, like talking to my mom that everything is okay. The bird was coming to me and I tried to hide under the table, which didn’t do much, but somehow it succeeded in hiding me. When Philomena stopped seeing me she after a 5 second pause, rushed towards my mom. Luckily Celestia has good reflex and catches the bird with magic and stopping her.

“Wh-wh-what is this?” My mom whispered.

“This is Philomena, she is a bird, according to William, a Phoenix.” Luna answered

“A phoenix?” My mom shocked. After a moment she stopped being paralyzed and looking at sisters and me was thinking about something, that I couldn’t tell.
“It a nice… gift” she lied. I could clearly see her lying right now, but it seems that both fillies didn’t notice that “but we can’t keep her. She will burn our house down! How did you find her in a first place?! You have some explaining to do Tia and Luna” she said. I saw the sad faces on Tia and Luna faces. I was sad for them. I knew that my mother would do something, like giving a punishment.

“Don’t do anything to them.” I said, defending Tia and Luna “ it wasn’t their fault. Philomena was injured by some kid, and would probably died if not them.” I saw the look on my mom’s face. She wasn’t happy, she was angry. Very angry

“You three will have some explaining to do.” she said. “ we can’t keep her. You will free her today, at the evening.” This sentence just confirmed the punishment. Philomena would be free and we couldn’t do anything about that.

I was laying on my bed. I looked at the clock. 3 PM. I was sad for the sisters. They rescued the dying bird and now they are going to punishment of some sort. I hear my door moving. Looking there I saw Luna.

“Hi William, can we talk?” She asked.

“Sure. What you want to talk about?”

“About Philomena. I think I have a plan what to do with her.” She immediately got my attention.

“What are you planning?”

“Maybe we hide her in your garden? There are plenty of space and big tree. We can like make her a nest and hide her there.” It wasn’t a bad idea, but if my mom someway funded out about that, she wouldn’t be happy.

“We can try and risk” I said.

“So now I will go with Tia and hide her there,” she said. “While you need to created a version, that we get her leave.” I nodded, accepting my task. Soon enough, I cam up an idea what to say to my mother when something unexpected happened.

“Why you want to lie to our mom?” I heard, looking up I saw my sister standing in a door

“Melissa it’s not what you were thinking!”

“No need to lie, Tia already told me everything.” I wasn’t sure if it’s a good, or a bad thing

“So? You want to help? Or go to mom?” She smiled and left my bedroom, leaving behind my sister.

Everything did go as planned. Celestia and Luna created a nest for Philomena, hidden in the leaves, on a top of the tree. After this, I told my mother that we left the bird and it flew away. Thankfully she believed it and we were finally finished with Philomena time? If you could name it that. Let’s hope that she will not find out about this.

Shoutout to polak23 for writing this chapter!

Chapter XI - Discrimination.

Second week of school for sisters started, and problems within it also began to emerge. Everything started on Monday, some days after the Philomena incident. Both fillies as usual woke up, ate breakfast, and went for a bus, but they didn’t know what will happen in school.

As they entered the school they spotted a group of kids from around 1st and 2nd grade watching them all the time.

“Hey Tia?” Luna started talking to her sister. “Do you see this group of kids weirdly watching us all the time?” She said, slightly pointing a hoof at them, so they won’t see it.

“Yea, I can feel, that they are watching, but maybe they are still not used that we started going to this school?” She answered. Luna wasn’t satisfied with this answer but she stopped worrying for now. They entered to their classroom to see their teacher, miss Rose. She smiled as they entered and got back to preparing the lessons for today. Meanwhile both sisters prepared themselves for the lesson in their respective seats. Around 2 minutes passed when Luna spotted the 4 kids that were part of that group at the entrance of school. Luna was looking at them thinking who they are and why are they here, because she didn't noticed that they were part of her and her sister’s class. While she was thinking the bell rang. Teacher got up and started the lessons

“Welcome kids! For today’s Lesson we’re gonna go back in time, and learn some about our country! So, The USA, or full name, United States of America originated in XVIII century…” miss Rose started lesson. Both sisters were listening but Luna's mind was completely going in on other direction. She tried to watch these 4 boys, that were sitting on the left. They were looking, rather saying, not happy with Luna’s and Celestia’s presence. They were looking at them, talking between each other, and pointing fingers at them. although they tried not to show it, they were failing and almost everyone saw them do it.

“Hey, look. There is a horse in school.” Said one boy loud enough for her to hear.

“Yea, what are they doing here?” Asked another.

“Hey do you see this? One is blue. How it’s even possible?” Pointed the third one.

“Blue or not, it’s just a horse, it can’t talk. It’s like learning fish to live without water.” Answered the fourth one.

“Hey boys. Stop talking. You are interrupting the lesson.” Teacher said to them.

“Sorry miss, we won’t do that again.” Said the second one. He tried to look, that he was telling the truth, but he wasn’t.

“Psst, Tia, did you hear?” Luna whispered to her sister.

“That miss Rose said not to talk? Yes, I clearly heard that” she answered, irritated.

“Not that. The boys. They were talking about us.” Said Luna, trying so speak silently.

“Sister. Stop talking. I’m trying to listen!” Celestia spoke. Luckily, teacher didn’t hear, or ignored fact, that it was a little louder, than it should.

“Ugh fine… I’m gonna tell you on break time.” Luna finally said. She knew something was going on. Not good for them, definitely.

RIIIIING!

The bell ranged, showing everyone, that now is the break time.

“Ok, that concludes our today’s lesson, have a nice break time!” miss Rose said. Almost immediately everyone stood up and left the classroom. The only one, that didn’t left was Luna.

“Miss Rose?” She said.

“Oh Luna, how can I help you today?” She asked in her motherly tone.

“I want to talk about the group of boys, that was talking minutes ago. They were talking about me and Tia. Their talk was very mean towards me and my sister” she informed her teacher.

“Luna, calm down. Remember, you are different from others, but have the right to learn. They may talk about you, but I doubt that they were discriminating you two.” She answered. Luna expected that answer.

“Thank you miss.” She said. She was about to leave when she heard something, that she shouldn’t hear.

“Shut up! I have the same rights as you!” The answer came. Luna recognized her sister's voice. She rushed out of the class in her sister's rescue.

“Maybe we should teach her a lesson.” another voice exclaimed. She also recognized that voice. It was one of the boys, from her classroom, that talked about them. After 1 minute of running (or galloping?) she arrived at the scene. She saw the group of 6 guys, wandering around Celestia. She looked scared, and ready for something.

“Shut up and go away! Now!” She commanded to them

“And what if we don't?” One boy said. At the moment Tia founded Luna, but didn’t say anything, just shook her head, to signal that she need help.

“Well…” Celestia said. She perfectly simulated being scared.

“Hahaha! You can’t do anything! Let’s get them boys!” Said the tallest one. Leader of the group, as Luna assumed. As he said it everyone started running towards Celestia. Then, suddenly Luna casted a spell, that made her disappear and reappear near Luna.

“Tia run, I will distract them!” Luna said.

“No, I will not leave you!” Tia answered. Luna nodded in acceptance. Together they casted the spell, that made a semi-transparent wall, between the group and both sisters. Then, they left the school, and went flying to their home.

William was sitting in his room, learning and doing homework. He didn't go to school that day beacouse his teachers had a day training a new method of teaching, when suddenly he heard something bursting through the door.

“William!” He heard. He recognized the voices of Celestia and Luna. He immediately get up from his desk and went running downstairs. When he came he saw Celestia and Luna crying? William slowly came to them and hugged them softly.

“Hey, there is no need to cry. What happened? Why are you not at school?” He asked, worrying about both fillies.

“We-we-we don’t want go to school anymore!” Luna exclaimed, sobbing.

“Why? What happened?” I asked again

“The-the-there is some sort of group that w-w-want to h-h-hurt us!” Celestia said through tears.

“Hey, don’t be sad. We will definitely do something about it." he spoke gently to them. He knew that they probably will need some emotional help so he wouldn't sent them back to school, at least for today. "Now, do you want something to eat? Mom is making dinner."

Author's Note

Hi! Polak23 here, with a message for you.

This chapter was I think the hardest for me to write for now (I rewrites it 3 times) so I’m very sorry if you spot some parts, that don’t fit in. [Hi, this is 654_nosneb, I helped a little bit ;)]
Also I think I wouldn’t be doing daily with my chapters of this story (nosneb can still do daily with his parts), since I want to take some time and don’t rush it, so you would have clear reading without any errors or mistakes.

As usual, criticism and suggestions are welcome!

Chapter XII - A movie.

Clarissa was heading to the researchinc labs. One would think that she didn't had anything to do there anymore, since Celestia and Luna now had human rights, and she was forgiven by the Tylers. But no, something was still wrong in that building. The last time she was inside, she noticed that an area was very well watched, and not in the normal way, it even had guys with suits anti radiation!

When the same friend that handed her the brain structure of the fillies escorted her through the building, she was now able to see the most forbidden room of the facility; what she saw completely shocked her.

"...Also, Discord," a man with a white robe spoke to the director. "Is apparantly able to manipulate reality almost to his will."

Then, her sight was caught by what was at the end of the room, or maybe, who. She saw a small, amorphous, with various animal parts creature, she saw Discord.

"Whaaaa!" the creature yelled, as the crystal that contained him fragmented itself a bit.

"Impressive," Osvaldo spoke. "Did you discovered a way to extract his magic? We almost managed to do it to those fillies but they escaped."

"Too bad that no sir." his assistant responded. "Instead of his magic being self contained like in mr. Wilson's 2 creations, our imitation's magic is very unstable and chaotic; but we are working on it. But, you should know that extracting all of the magic from these creatures could be deadly to them."

"Do I look like I care!" the director shouted. "There are people dying out there! Struggling for their survival as the machines they survival rest are killing their environment! The sooner we are able to use magic as a power source, the sooner humanity will reach peace! Just a little bit of magic can be used to create more! Just Discord would be enough to save humanity from his own extinction."

Clarissa listened to all of this with great concern. They were thinking about killing another sapient being!

"I must tell this to the Tylers." she thought as she went out of the room Discord was.

"So, how did you teleported Tia to yourself?." I asked to Luna.

We were at their backyard, practicing Celestia's and Luna's magic as promised, while the phoenix stared at us from her nest in the tree.

"I-I don't know," the dark blue alicorn responded. "I was very scared at the moment. I think it just... happened."

"Do you think you can repeat it again?" I asked.

"I'll try." she responded.

Then, her horn began to glow. Light blue sparks began to emanate from it, but then she just collapsed in the ground.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed as she stood up. "I can't! It's just very hard!"

"Don't worry sis," Celestia said to her sister. "I'm sure that you will be able to repeat it someday!"

"Yeah," I complemented. "Besides, since only you and your sister are able to do magic, you technically are the best one at it in the world!"

"Really!?" she spoke.

"Hey, what about me!" Tia shouted a bit angry.

"Well, she was the first one on earth that managed to teleport someone: you. So she's the best, at least for now." I finished with that just to avoid making Tia angry.

RIIING! Our doorbell rang.

"One second." I said to the little girls, as I headed to the camera at the kitchen to see who was out there.

"Hello?" I spoke through the telephone as I saw a woman with a girl that was probably her daughter.

"Hello," she spoke to the microphone. "Is this the house of: Celestia and Luna Tyler?"

"Yes," I responded. "For what is the question?"

"Well, my daughter Lara told me last week that she made 2 new friends, and that those friends were the 2 infamous unicorns that entered her school."

"Ok."

"Well, I spoke to your mom on chat, and we agreed on taking the girls today to watch a movie."

"Oh, well, let me see." I spoke as I turned on my cellphone.

After calling my mother, who was with Melissa at a medical checkup, I confirmed that she indeed planned this a few days ago, but since she wasn't at home, she asked me to go with the girls.

I took a bit of my money, put on my black coat, and told the fillies about where we were going. We saw movies before, but they never went to the cinema. They were very excited about it and, as we entered Lara's family car, they entered on questioning mode.

"So the room is full of people?" Luna asked.

"Yes," her human friend responded. "And we all watch a movie on a BIG screen."

"How big is that screen?" Tia asked to her.

"Well, it's as taller and wide as a house." Lara responded.

"Those fillies are really lovely." the woman beside me spoke. "I now see why you couldn't let them return to that lab."

"Yeah. In the inside, they are really just normal kids, but I'm glad that someone else can see it." I said.

"I'm not the only one." she said, clearly referring to her daughter, as she tried to play rock-paper-scissors with Luna, which was failing at the moment.

"I have an idea!" Luna exclaimed as she prepared herself for another round of the game.

"Ok then, then try it!"Lara responded.

Then Lara pulled out her hand, revealing a paper; while Luna's horn glowed, making a magical scissors appear in the air.

"Wow!" Lara exclaimed.

After a short trek to the cinema, we arrived. We got down, and went to the place in which the theater was. The movie we were about yo see surprised me: it was the Han Solo movie!

"Wow!" I exclaimed as I read the tickets. "I didn't knew we were going to watch a Star Wars movie."

"Is it wrong?" Lara asked. "I understand if you don't like to see it."

"Are you kidding!?" I responded. "I'm a huge fan!"

"What's: Star Wars?" Celestia asked.

"After the movie, you'll maybe understand it better."

RIIING! RIIING! RIIING! The doorbell of the Tyler's house was shouting, as Clarissa pressed it desperately.

"Oh come on! There's no one inside?" she asked to the microphone.

"Clarissa?" said a voice from behind her.

When she turned to face the voice, she saw that Bianca was getting out of her car with her daughter, and was approaching to her.

"Bianca!" she shouted.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Bianca responded. "What's wrong?"

"They did it again! They did it again!"

"Who did what?" the mother asked to the hysteric woman.

"You'll see, I took a video with my cellphone." she responded.

"Wow!" Celestia exclaimed as we went out of the cinema in the car. "Han Solo is awesome!"

"Yeah!" Luna complemented. "And the Millennium Falcon was super fast! It was even faster than light!"

"I never knew what happened to Chewbacca after episode III. I'm glad to see him again."

"Episode III?" Tia asked a bit confused. "You mean there are more of this movies!?"

"Yes," I spoke up. "I've the whole saga at home. We could watch it tomorrow, since it'll be Sunday."

I really enjoyed the movie and all, but what drew a smile in my face was the fact that Tia and Luna now had a friend! I never thought they'll make it to go to school, even less that they'll be able to go to see a movie at a theater as a normal kid will do. Yet, here we are, and I don't regret anything; not even the phoenix that now lives in my house.

After a while, we returned home. I headed out of the car and picked up both little fillies in my arms. I rang the doorbell as I said:

"Goodbye miss Esther!" I shouted to her. "Thank you for inviting us to the movie, it was a pleasure!"

"The pleasure is mine," she responded. "I hope we can hang out later, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

And with that, she left. Mom probably saw us through the camera beacouse she opened the door remotely. It was night already, and I immediately headed to our room to leave the fillies to rest.

"Hold on, I'll come back later," I spoke. "I won't be late."

I headed to the kitchen, to have a glass of water, but before reaching it, I saw Clarissa and my mom at the living room.

"William," the lawyer spoke. "I have something to show you."

Here's chapter XII.

Chapter XIII - Avoiding the end. (Part I)

"So they created another magical being!" I shouted as Clarissa ended her explanation.

"It seems so," the lawyer exclaimed. "And according to my friend that works at researchinc, they are planning to kill him tomorrow in order to drain his magic from him."

"THEY ARE GONNA!" I shouted, but in the last second, I was able to contain myself. "We have to help him!"

"But how are we going to do such a thing?" my mom asked.

"I've some ideas." I responded with a smile growing on my face.

"I thought that you got rid of that bird." my mom exclaimed.

"Yeah, but it wasn't my idea, it was hers." I said pointing to the bird at my shoulder, which gave me a confused look after I said that lie.

We were on the car, heading to researchinc in order to conduct what I called: the phoenix burns the lab, which was a pretty self descriptive name if you ask me. Yesterday we decided to go today to rescue discord, and make sure he isn't killed today.

Not long ago, this bird would have killed me instead of following one of my orders. But now, she is as friendly to me as she is with the fillies.

We left the girls at home. They were probably still sleeping. I don't wanna bring them here, even though their magic could be useful. Also, no one, not even researching knew about Philomena, so she will be perfect for this.

"And remember," I was explaining to the bird. "Don't burn anyone, just some parts in the exterior to force an evacuation so we can get in and rescue this: Discord."

"William, it's just a bird, she can't understand you." mom said.

"Oh you clearly don't know what Philomena is capable of." I responded.

Then, something REALLY weird happened. The sun set extremely quickly an it was suddenly night! Just to rise again in order to let the sunshine bath the city again.

"What the..."

None of us had time to react to this, beacouse another weird event took control of the environment. Liquid CHOCOLATE began to fall from the sky. We were all speechless at the display of events before us. If we weren't so close to researchinc, I could have swear that our vehicle would have crashed upon something.

The door of the building was replaced with 2 giant playing cards, and in front of them there was the amorphous being called Discord that I saw in the photo Clarissa showed us. He was being fired not just from scientists from researchinc, but also by soldiers. But the bullets transformed into cotton balls as soon as they touched him. We went out of our car, and then the creature emitted a blinding flash and he disappeared.

"NOOOO!" director Osvaldo shouted. "HE WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING! HUMANITY IS DOOMED!"

We were about to ask him some questions, but he soon became aware of our presence.

"YOU! YOU CAUSED THIS!" he shouted while pointing a finger to us. "YOU FREED HIM!"

"No!" I answered to him, which was true since we didn't do it... yet. "Could you explain what's going on! I sense the weird climate and Discord's escape happening at the same time aren't just simple coincidence."

He stared at me with anger on his eyes, an anger that was not rational, but the most pure anger y ever saw on someone's face. Then he spoke:

"We tried to recreate your father's success with those fillies. We already discovered a way to drain their magic from them, and we would have used them, if it wasn't for their escape and your... 'help'. But when we tried it on Discord we stumbled with the fact that his magic was just too unstable to deal with, that apparently caused an explosion that freed him."

"And how does it explains this crazy weather?" I asked.

"His magical powers are beyond space and time. He is almost as powerful as 'Celestia' or 'Luna'. With him free, I expect our solar system to be destroyed in a matter of hours. As I said: HUMANITY IS DOOMED!" he shouted before leaving out of the place shouting things in languages I don't even know existed.

He left us with more doubts than answers. Upon seeing the end of humanity mom started to cry, and I almost followed her example, until I remembered that there might be some hope for humanity: Celestia and Luna.

"Mom," I said to her as I hugged her. "We've to go back home, we still have something to do."

"Wha-what?" she asked.

"Well," I never thought I'll ever say this. "Save the world!"

Chapter XIV - Avoiding the end. (Part II)

"So let me see if I understand," Celestia spoke to us while we were in the car. "You want us to stop a magical entity created by researchinc before he destroys the world!?"

"That's pretty much it," I responded. "You'll only have to contain him with your magical aura, while I trap him in this container," I said pointing to the weird contraption at the back part of the car.

"Where did you get that?" Luna asked confused.

"I took it from researchinc before we return to the house," I responded. "But to use it I need him to stay in one place, to be calm, and this thing should be enough to contain his chaotic magic. Now, after it w3 have to..."

I couldn't finish my sentence, since the skies turned dark again. Then the sun returned, but alongside a green sky.

"Wow!" I shouted. "Let's hope we found him soon enough."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH: THE TYLERS ARE GOING TO STOP DISCORD!" Osvaldo shouted to his assistant. "WHAT NOW? DO ARE THEY GONNA BEAT HIM WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP OR SOMETHING? FIGHTING THAT THING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

"I just said that there's a chance that they could made it." his assistant calmly responded. "Tia and Luna are with them, and if I'm not wrong, just one of them is even powerful than Discord."

"But they don't know how to use that power, no one knows," Osvaldo responded. "The chances that they make it are pretty low."

"But I still have hope on it," the man with a white robe responded. "I'm not allowed to have it?"

"No," the director clearly stated. "No until there's something unbreakable in this universe in which we can lay our hope in. And in my experience, that doesn't exist."

"There he is!" I shouted to everyone in the car.

Mom pushed the break as hard as she could and we immediately went down of the vehicle. When we got down, (I was with the weird glass container in my hands) the fillies finally were able to see Discord. He was floating in the air raising and lowering a truck with a claw, when we spotted him from behind him. We headed silently to his position, and when we were close enough, I spoke to the fillies:

"Now!" I shouted to them.

Their horns immediately begun to glow, and the creature immediately froze in mid air. I told them to lower him to ground level for me to be able to trap him, which they did, but also shouting:

"IT'S TOO HARD!!!! DO IT FAST!!!!"

I rushed to him, opened the container, and enclosed him inside, (since he wasn't even bigger than Luna it was pretty easy) and activated the magical lock on him.

"It's that it?" mom asked worriedly.

"Yes," I stated as the sky returned to be blue. "Apparently yes."

We were back at home. We were still shocked by all that happened in the day, and we were still speaking about it, (except for Clarissa who went straight to her house in order to collapse in her bed) as the news stated:

"...But a camera at the outside of a coffee shop recorded what happened to this new researchinc experiment. The two fillies named: Celestia Tyler, and Luna Tyler, managed to contain him in order for William Tyler to trap him in a weird container, which the police says is also from the previously mentioned company, to end the: 'chaoscalypse'. Discord is now contained at researchinc again, but this is the second, and most big controversy researching was involved in less than a year, the authorities might bla bla bla..."

In the surface I couldn't believe it! I saved the world! I saved the world! But in the bottom of my soul something was still worrying me: were we about to execute the same hell by ourselves? Were we one step away of destroying everything? And most importantly: do Tia or Luna represent the same threat to the world as Discord?

"I'm not Luna, I'm supernight! And I saved the world with my assistants!"

"Your assistants? You mean Daymare is just an assistant?"

"And don't forget about M3l1$$4 the TRUE assistant of the pony squad!"

"Pony squad?" Luna asked. "What kind of silly name is that!"

That scene drew a smile in my face, so big that I couldn't resist. "Wait for William the... well... something heroic William!"

I guess that this fillies wouldn't hurt a fly.

Chapter I - A visit.

Ah, and another year almost passed away! Just one more month of school and we are done, also, what a nice Friday was yesterday! It was so nice that mom decided to take us in a trip to the city in which dad's prison was.

We stayed at the cheapest hotel we could find, and then went directly to sleep.

"I'll like to see dad again!" Luna shouted.

"Me too," Melissa responded. "But now all I wanna do is sleep here," she exclaimed as she collapsed on the small bed that the room provided.

"Ah, but I don't wanna sleep yet!" the white filly complained.

"But you have to," my mother spoke from her bed. "And the sooner you sleep, the sooner you wake up."

"No!" she almost shouted. "I'm still not tired."

In order to save the situation, I took the idea that popped in my mind.

"I know!" I exclaimed. "Before we sleep, we could read the last chapters of The Little Prince," I said as I pulled out the book from my black coat.

"Yeah!" both fillies responded excitedly as I sat down on their bed.

But now, let's go back to the present. We were outside of the prison, waiting for the guards to let us in.

The place itself is very disturbing to the eye, since I didn't ever saw a place as dirty as this prison. Good thing it is cat infested, beacouse without them the rat invasion will be unstoppable. At least we are already adapted to it, but I know that the fillies aren't, since they are on top of my head, and won't get down until we reach dad.

We passed the security check, and then started our way through the place as fast as we could. The smell was pretty disgusting (probably beacouse it was emanated from illegal sources) and I don't know why the guards don't do anything about it (oh wait I know why, they probably have something to do with it according to my dad).

The prisoners were all around the place (since it was visits time) and were staring at the fillies with curiosity. The great majority of them already knew them from their last visit, but all of them continued to watch them as if they were aliens.

"Bianca, William, Melissa!" my father exclaimed as we found him. "Long time since I last saw you!"

"Indeed," his wife responded. "It had been a while, but I'm happy to see you now!"

The place in which he was was the 'nicest' of the whole penitentiary. It was given to him beacouse of good behaviour, as well as for all the rest of the people here. Cats were all around here, and I even saw one with a rat on his mouth. But the odor wasn't that strong here, and the people were a bit less sad. It was like on oasis in the middle of the chaos, and I'm give thanks that my father is here rather than outside.

"Dad!" both fillies, Melissa, and me shouted at the same time as we hugged him.

"Dad!" Tia shouted. "The smell here is repulsive, but that doesn't matter beacouse I'm so glad to see you!"

"Neither to me dad!" her dark blue sister complemented. "It's a little scary, but is it worth the fear to get the chance to see you again!"

We ate our dinner with joy in our hearts, I ate through the rice that we brought with the heart at peace. It was just so nice to simply have his company once more.

Then, when the chance showed up, dad spoke to me and said:

"William, could I ask you something?" his voice was very slow to not call the attention of the girls chatting and playing.

"Yes," I responded confidently.

"Do Tia or Luna's magic ever appeared to be dangerous?"

"What! No," I responded a bit worried. "Why do you ask?"

"When I researched about the properties of a new energy source we that for his very amazing properties we decided to call: magic, I discovered that, if it was not handed in the right way, it could cause tons of destruction."

"I know, I know. I already saw that through Discord. But, do you think this fillies could be dangerous?"

"I hope not, I don't know everything about magic, but if they didn't do anything bad in almost 2 years, I think that they should be fine."

"What unusual properties?" I asked.

"Well, first of all, it doesn't follow the rule that in the universe nothing is created or destroyed. I don't know if magic could be destroyed, but I know (thanks to the fillies) that it can be created."

"Created!?" I asked. "But, how is that possible?"

"Magic is very linked to emotions," he responded. "Their happiness, joy, sadness, excitement, hate, or fears could be used to create their magic."

"Wow!" I exclaimed. "That explains why..."

"William, the visits time is almost over!" mom spoke to me.

"Really?" I said as checked my phone. "I thought I placed an alarm in order to..."

RING! RING! RING! The alarm on my phone triggered.

"Oh, there it is," I exclaimed. "Well, see you later dad!" I shouted as I hugged him tightly.

"See you later too!" he responded, as the fillies, mom and Melissa joined the hug.

Finally! First chapter of season 2!
I just wanna say that the prison in this chapter is like the one I visited sometimes before the pandemic, so everything about it is totally real.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, also...

Chapter II - 'Happy' 2020!

The year was about to end. To celebrate it, Lara's mom invited us to her vacations house (that was 25 km away from our city, Eastville) to pass the new year's celebrations. After spending Christmas with our father, we decided to go with them for the last holiday.

"Lara is very kind to offer us spending new year with her family!" Luna exclaimed at her car seat. "From what she told us, that house of hers is really pretty!"

"Yeah, she is!" her alicorn sister continued. "Last new year we just stayed alone at our house, but the fireworks were awesome!"

"Our new years weren't always like that," her human sister complemented. "I remember that we used to spend them at grandmas house, before she died." he ended the sentence with a bit saddened tone.

"Don't worry Melissa," I spoke from my seat. "We can still have happy holidays! And even more happy ones if we manage to get dad out of prison."

After I spoke, the silence invaded the car for a few seconds, until Tia broke the silence by asking:

"William, what happens to the people when they die?"

The question caught me by surprise; and apparently not just me, since mom's face completely changed to one of horror (although she still had to drive so she didn't let her sight abandon the road). The last time I saw that face, was when I asked her that question.

Even if the question would have been for her, mom wouldn't respond (or at least no in a long time) so answering the question relayed on me now. I had my own personal view about death, but explaining it to them will just confuse them right now, so I decided to simplify it.

"They go to heaven." was the answer I choose.

"And what's heaven?" asked the now curious dark blue filly.

"A very beautiful place in which you'll be happy for ever," I responded. "And where dying is impossible."

"So then why are we here?" Tia asked. "If heaven is so good, why we weren't born on it?"

Ok, this fillies are becoming VERY philosophical. But I think I still know the answer to that.

"To love and be loved." was my final answer, after thinking it for a while.

"But then why we get sad sometimes?" the dark blue alicorn now asked.

"Maybe because we lost our original purpose."

"And what is it?" Celestia asked.

"To love and be loved," I repeated.

"Sir." the assistant with the white robe asked to Osvaldo, who was sitting at his desk. "There's something important I'll like to tell you."

"What," the director spoke with a very depressed voice. "I told you not to bother me unless Researchinc is in danger, or the world is in danger."

The Researchinc labs suffered very much since the Discord's incident. Now it was barely a shadow of what it was before. Even though their building was still intact, half of the scientists were fired in the last year due to the crisis originated by the controversies the company faced 1 year and a half ago.

"Maybe the second thing," his assistant responded.

"What now, Gregory. The alicorns finally proved to be dangerous to society?"

"No, but a new virus was found on Wuhan, China. It has the potential of resulting on a pandemic. The Chinese government tries to hide it but..."

"Research on a vaccine, I don't really care." the director responded. "The company is at the edge of bankrupt. I want that at least the last thing we do is good to the public eyes."

"Ok," Gregory responded. "As you wish, director." and then, he leaved.

"Wow! There's a river here!" Melissa shouted.

"Can we swim later?" Tia asked.

We were the first ones to arrive at the place (except for Lara and her mother) and the girls were spending a good time playing, laughing, and chatting between each other. Meanwhile, mom and I were talking with Esther (Lara's mother) about the relatives that were coming.

"Don't worry too much about them," Esther said. "They already know that I invited you."

"Could I ask why you invited us?" mom spoke. "I, and I'm sure that my sons really appreciate it, but, why inviting strange people to your new year's celebration?"

"Oh, come on." the woman responded. "You're not strangers. It's been almost 2 years since we met. I think that you are almost part of my family! You even met the majority of my relatives. Also, I know that you don't have anywhere to spend this holiday; and it's really sad, so I invited you to have a good time!" the redhead woman exclaimed. "By the way, have you invited someone?"

"Well, me!" Clarissa's voice sounded from behind.

The stars didn't took long to dominate the sky. We were at the inside of the house, watching cartoons with the fillies, while the adults were outside, celebrating. Well, to say that we were watching the cartoons will be a lie, the proper term will be: pretending that the room was a kingdom, that I was a citizen, Lara was a magician, Melissa was a traveler, Tia and Luna were the rulers, and there was an invisible monster, kidnapping their subjects, while the TV echoed from behind.

"I, princess Luna of 'Starland' state that the invisible monster should be haunted down, and taken to the dungeons for his crimes against the republic!"

"You don't mean queen, right?" I tried to correct the filly.

"No, we princess Celestia and princess Luna of Starland declared that absolute monarchy is forbidden in this republic!" Tia answered to me.

"Ok," I responded. "But how are the princesses of the republic gonna find the invisible monster?"

"I can do it!" Lara exclaimed. "A Jedi doesn't need his eyes to see!"

"Well then knight of Starland, I princess Celestia of Starland allow you to go on this dangerous mission."

"Kids!" mom shouted as she entered the room. "5 minutes for new year! Come here for the countdown!"

"Aww!" Melissa exclaimed. "Well, we are going mom!"

We were waiting for the last minute of the year to end, and Tia was flying from excitement. Luna was on top of my head and everyone waited for the great moment.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5," We started to count. "4, 3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY 2020!"

Author's Note

Here's Chapter II season 2!
And yes, COVID-19 will play a huge roll from now on.
Enjoy :)

As always, I accept suggestions.

Chapter III - Nightmare.

To say that nobody knows where COVID came from, would be a lie. At this point, everyone knows that it came from a sea food market at Wuhan, China.

At first, no one thought that it would become so relevant. I even thought to myself that it would not get out of China. I was SO wrong.

"William, why are we not going to school today?" Celestia asked with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Well because..." I tried to say, but I wasn't finding the appropriate words. "There is a dangerous disease spreading through the world."

"And?" She replied.

"Well, we can't go to school because we could catch, or spread it."

"Oh, I see." she exclaimed. "Does it kill people?"

"Yes," I responded. "And a lot."

"How many; 3, 4...or 10," she said the last number with a worried voice tone.

"Well... actually more like hundreds, if not thousands of people."

"THOUSANDS!!!" She shouted. "Th-th-th-thousands! I-I-I... bwaaaa!"

She then started to cry on my shoulders, and almost nothing that I did could calm her down. One or two days later, Luna find out as well and also collapsed on her cry.

The TV wasn't helping too much with our situation, the images of coughing people, facemasks, etc. were slowly terrifying the fillies; well, not just the fillies, the human part of the family was also really depressed, scared and unsure of how this was going to end. Dad was not good either. Due to the already high insanity in the prison, the COVID was running wild free in there.

But we eventually had to go into online classes, and all I have to say is that the stress that was in the house due to the presence of just one computer, one cellphone, and four persons that needed them for their classes, yeah, you can guess how CHAOTIC is this.

We were starting to normalize the situation, when something happened. Clarissa got infected.

She was not old, so we didn't thought that she'll face too much trouble. But then... but then... Her sister called us to say that... she died.

"No!" Luna shouted when mom explained why she couldn't call Clarissa to say hello. "She can't be dead! She's too young for that!"

"Luna," mom spoke softly. "The doctors did everything they could, but there was nothing they could do to save her since she also had complications with her diabetes, she would have survived but... she got infected."

"But, if she died, does that means that if you get infected as well... you could... you could... die?"

"Well, it's a possibility, but I promise you that..."

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no; NO!" she shouted as she galloped to our bedroom. "Bwaaaaa!"

That night, it was pretty silent during dinner. Everyone ate their food quietly, and Luna and mom even had tears on her eyes.

But then, it was time to go to bed, and also, time for dreaming. I had a relatively normal one, just me buying toilet paper; yeah, toilet paper. Anyways, I wouldn't have noticed that it was a dream if it wasn't for the fact that the same rip from the last time appeared in the sky.

"Oh, Luna, what's happening to you now?"

With my imagination, I went through the rip, and immediately searched for Luna's dream. The dreams that were around me caught my attention. They weren't dreams like the last time I was here. Yeah, sure, some of them still were normal, but a great amount of them were pandemic related. I saw people flying away from giant COVIDS, people crying on top of dead people, and even one in which a girl couldn't take off her facemask no mattering how much she tried.

Finally, I reached Luna's dream. I was a bit unsure if I should go in, but finally made my way through.

I was scared to death when the first thing I saw was my dead body on the floor. I contained a scream, and started to search out for Luna. The dream was taking place on home apparently, and I found the dead bodies of mom, Melissa and even dad, but no signal of the alicorn. I headed to our room hoping to find her there, and even though I did found her, she was also hugging her pony sister with fear, she was corresponding the hug as well, as the fillies cried very loudly.

"Luna!" I exclaimed as I walked in. "I'm here, don't..." I stopped talking as I stumbled with the lifeless body of... Tia?

"Wait, if you are there, then who is..."

"She-she died in this dr-dream." Luna exclaimed through tears. "As well as everybody else!"

"I-I'm the real Tia." the white filly hugging her sister stated. "I came here when Luna called me for the consolation of my sister, but I found... this." she stated.

"I..." my mouth tried to exclaim.

"William, please tell me that this isn't going to happen in the real world, please tell me that this isn't gonna happen to you, please tell me that this isn't gonna happen to Tia!"

At first, I didn't have anything to say that could improve the situation. But then, it occurred to me:

"You know, this can't happen to you or Tia."

"What?" they gasped.

What I mean is: the virus only attacks humans, so... both of you are immune!"

"Really!" the dark blue pony asked. "But you aren't. The rest of our family can die as well as Clarissa." she then paused a moment before continuing. "She was really special to us. Thanks to her, we were able to go to school, live here, and get out of that horrible place. And now, she's gone, just like that."

I thought my words very well before speaking them: "I can't promise that no one here isn't going to die, but I do promise you that we'll do everything in our power to keep safe both of you."

"You promise it?" now Celestia asked.

"I promise."

"Did you slept well last night?" mom asked while toasting bread for the alicorn's breakfast.

"More or less," Celestia replied.

We started to ate our breakfast, as well as discussing with mom so we could borrow her phone for the classes. We decided that the fillies will use the computer (since they were at the same grade) I'll use my phone, and Melissa will use mom's for her first class and the return it to her owner.

RING! RING! RING! my phone's alarm started to sound loudly.

"I guess it's time for physics," I spoke. "See you later!"

Meanwhile at the Researchinc labs:

"You know what Gregory?" the director spoke to his assistant. "For once, it seems that we took the right decision. How's the development for the vaccine?"

"Since we were the first ones that started, it seems that we'll be the firsts that founds one."

"And considering all the donations we are receiving, I think that this company will not go anywhere soon."

While they were speaking, the news were portraying: Researchinc, the company that changed for the good.

Chapter IV - More fear, and more problems.

The days passed, and the fillies were starting to propose an idea: can we visit Lara?

"But mom," Celestia spoke. "We are immune to the disease, we can't spread it either, what's the deal with we visiting her?"

"Tia," mom replied. "I know that you and Luna are immune to the COVID, but I don't know if miss Esther will accept that you go and visit her daughter."

"Could you at least ask her?" Luna begged.

"I... well... Fine, I'll se what I can do."

"YEY!" both fillies exclaimed with excitement.

After both fillies rushed to their bedroom to tell Melissa about the exciting possibility, mom asked me:

"William, could you call miss Esther for me? Now I've to attend a virtual meeting so I think I'll be a little busy."

"No problem, mom" I responded.

I then picked up my cellphone from his charging spot, I turned it on, and called for Esther.

"Hello, William!" the woman at the other side of the line exclaimed. "Long time since I talked to you!"

"Yeah, it has been a while," I replied. "Well, you see, miss, the reason of why I'm calling you is that, well... since Tia and Luna are immune since they are not humans, I was wondering if they could maybe visit Lara tomorrow."

"Well..." she responded with a worried voice tone.

"It could be other day if tomorrow isn't possible," I quickly spoke. "Maybe this Saturday?"

"No, it's not that. I know that those fillies are immune to the virus, but the real problem is that Lara is infected."

"Lara infected!" I almost shouted from the shock.

"Yeah, she is. Don't worry too much, she's a very healthy girl. But she's just too weak for receiving Tia and Luna."

"Oh, I see." I responded with a sad voice. "Well, see you next time I guess."

"See you next time William," she concluded. "It was a pleasure to hear your voice again."

"For me as well miss Esther." were my final words before I ended the call.

But when I turned to charge my phone again, I saw two little pony faces shocked with horror.

"L-La-Lara is... INFECTED!" both fillies gasped.

"Well... yes, but in her case is not that..."

"Bwaaaa!" both fillies break into tears.

I never thought that this pandemic would have made this ponies cry too much.

"Are you sure that she's gonna be alright?" Luna asked.

"I'm sure," Melissa responded as I entered my bed. "She's pretty strong, much more than you realise. When you less notice, you are going to be in a dinner at her house!"

"If you say so, Melissa." Celestia responded.

I had a very long day, so I decided not to force further conversation. They'll eventually calm down.

"I don't want Lara to die," Celestia thought to herself while she was on her mattress. "I wish that she could be immune like us." she thought as the tiredness consumed her mind. "I wish..."

Then the room got completely silent, but not completely dark, since Celestia's horn begun to glow with intensity until a magical, invisible bubble started to grow out of it, swallowing the room, the house, and slowly but surely, the entire city.

"Morning Luna!" I exclaimed to the sleeping filly. "Breakfast is ready, and if you and you want to eat it before it gets cold, you should probably wake up now."

"Ok, William," the sleepy filly responded.

While we were eating breakfast, which was my favorite: pancakes, Tia decided to ask:

"Could we at least call Lara?" she asked with a bit of fear. "Just to see if she's alright."

"I see no problem with it," I said as I swallowed the last piece of my plate. "Just let me call her mom and see if she's available."

"YEY!" both fillies exclaimed from happiness.

I went to unplug my cellphone from his charger, and typed the number of Lara's mother.

"Hello miss Esther," I spoke to the device. "I'm William, I was wondering if I could..."

"William! Oh, I have never been so happy to hear your voice!" she exclaimed with a mix of excitement, fear, and astonishment.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked.

"Well, good news are that Lara doesn't has COVID anymore."

"Oh, great!" I exclaimed. "And the bad news?"

"Well, SHE'S NOW A PEGASUS!" the woman at the other side of the line shouted, making my heart to stop beating for a second. The, she changed the call into a video-call, and I saw a light blue filly with wings that was behind an angry Esther. "How this happened!"

"I...I-I don't know!" I tried to calmly respond, although I think I failed in the process.

"IS THIS BECAUSE THOSE FILLIES MAGIC!" she exclaimed.

"Mom, don't be too angry. I feel very weird, but this is better than being tasteless and with that fever." her now pony daughter exclaimed to try to calm down her mother.

"I don't know," I responded. "I know so few things about magic; like it can be created, can alter reality and physics, and that is very linked to emoti..." then it hit me, the emotional part. Celestia must have done this without purpose when I told her that she was immune because she's a pony, and that her best friend got infected.

"And that is what?" she now asked a bit more calmed.

"You know what, wait at your home; we'll arrive there soon."

Since mom wasn't at home, I had to use my emergency money to get an uber. When I told the fillies that her best friend became a pony, they didn't know hoe to react; at first, they were the happiest beings on the planet, saying things like <> or <> but then, they realized the real PROBLEM that this meant for her, and started panicking much more.

"She doesn't have a horn!" exclaimed Luna on her car seat. "How will she do anything complex!"

"I didn't thought of that!" her sister replied. "She must know that this is my fault. She must hate us right now!"

They continued their worried chatting until we arrived at Lara's home.

"Weeeeeee!" Lara shouted as she flied a few meters with Celestia. "This... is... FUN!"

"So let me get this straight," Esther asked. "They unconsciously converted her because they were scared that the COVID would kill her?"

"Well, yes."

"Ok, Celestia! Luna! Come here please."

I got scared to death when she called them, but I got really confused when she... hugged them?

"Thank you," she exclaimed with tears on her eyes. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Bu-but miss," Luna spoke. "We..."

"But you did it to save her life," she stated. "And I thank both of you for it."

Lara also decided to add herself to the hug. I was wondering if I should do it too, when something at the news caught my attention:

'Infected people are transforming into ponies!'

I know that the story is getting a little sad with the COVID stuff, but I'm trying to keep it in a happy mood.

Chapter V - PONY-19

After an hour or so, we headed back home. I hoped that I could be the one that tells mom about the pony transformation situation; but when she returned home with a story about how her boss was now a unicorn, I think I lost my chance.

"Do you think it was funny!" she shouted very angry. "To turn one third of the city into magical ponies!"

"But mom," Luna tried to say. "Me... We... I... eh, didn't do than on purpose."

"Yeah," I complemented. "*coff* It was unconscious because magic is very linked to emotions *coff*."

"So," she exclaimed. "You knew that THIS could happen, and you never told me!"

"Well..."

"To your room!" she shouted. "All of you!"

"But..."

"TO YOUR ROOM!"

We headed to our room. I know mom when she's this angry; when she is like this, she turns into a monster, and won't listen to any rational argument. I'm already used to it in some degree, but it's pretty obvious that the fillies do not.

"Don't worry," I spoke in our way to the room. "Before you know, she's gonna come to our room and apologize."

"But, this is happening in all the city, right?" Celestia asked. "What if they don't turn back? What if they stay as ponies forever?"

"Well, then we'll find a solution," I proposed. "We learned a bit about how your magic works. We'll just find a way to de-convert them."

"You think is it possible?" Luna asked.

"I hope so."

We entered our room, in which Melissa was listening her music, and after we explained the situation to her, she said:

"It's a matter of time before the people blame Tia and Luna for this. *coff* And they wouldn't be wrong, so we need to think on something to say before something else happens *coff*."

"I agree," I said. "*coff* We could..."

I didn't finish my sentence, because the room's door opened, revealing a sad Bianca behind it.

"I-I'm," she said. "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me *coff*, guess I was too angry to think coherently. Could you now told me what happened?"

"Of course, mom!" Tia exclaimed as she flied to her chest, and hugged her.

After some apologies, some cries and a dinner, we went to sleep. That night, I was too tired to even dream, so I passed directly to the next day.

"*yawns* Well, time to start a new day," I said to myself as I stood up, well, TRIED to stand up but immediately felt something wrong with my limbs, and fell into the floor.

I quickly crawled out of the dark room, and headed to the hallway's mirror. To my horror, and not surprise, I wasn't a human anymore. I was a blue horse, with a horn, yellow mane and a pair of wings. I was an alicorn.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

My shout awoke everyone at the house; but instead of mom or Melissa coming to help me, I saw an orange pegasus with white mane and orange eyes stepping out of her room.

"AAAAAAHHH!" the pony shouted as she saw me. "AAAAAAHHH!" the pony shouted as she saw herself.

"What's all that... AAHHHHH!" I heard mom's voice echo from her room.

I trotted/crawled to her room but couldn't open the door since well, hooves. But then, a familiar golden aura enveloped the door handle and opened for me. I looked behind me and saw Celestia and Luna with tears on her eyes, practically at the edge of collapse.

"William?" Luna asked, to which I nodded.

We entered mom's room, and saw a yellow mare with wings, and tears on her eyes.

"Mom!" Celestia shouted as she flied to hug her/cry on her chest. "I'm so sorry, I never meant to do this to you. I just..."

"It's ok Tia," mom said with a calm voice tone while the raindrops continued to fall from her eyes, making them appear as pearls. "This means that we got infected, and this is your best attempt to keep us safe. I know you did this with the best intentions Tia."

RING! RING! RING! My phone echoed from its charging spot.

"One second," I spoke. "I'll come back."

I headed to the living room, unplugged the phone and... Wait, how did I?

I stared at the phone in front of me. It was levitating, enveloped by a blue aura, as well as my horn. I'll check that later; for now, I needed to answer the call. I touched the green button with my nose and placed an ear next to the microphone.

"Hello," I spoke. "Who is..."

"She's normal! She's normal!" Esther's voice boomed through the speaker.

"Wait, who's normal?" I asked a bit confused.

"Lara," she responded. "Lara is back to normal!"

After all that happened through this hours, finally I get good news. Lara is normal again! After discussing the topic with Esther, mom and the fillies we reached a conclusion: the transformation only lasts while the virus is in your body.

"Well," I said to the fillies. "It seems that you'll be able to visit your friend very, very soon."

"Yey!" they cheerfully exclaimed, as I tried, but managed, to place bread into the toaster with my brand new magic.

"Mom," I said to the white mare that was by my side. "We need to tell this to the public."

"Wait, what!" she shouted.

"If we don't, they're gonna find out through other ways. And we NEED to tell them that this is just temporary."

Osvaldo was staring at Gregory, who was now a grey pony, with intrigue rather than concern. Gregory tried to say something, but was stopped by the director.

"Don't say anything!" he exclaimed. "I think we have found a new way to continue our experiments."

Gregory now stared at the director with fear, but quickly calmed down as Osvaldo said:

"Don't worry, nothing regarding you, or any converted human. Just wait until people figure out that those fillies are responsible for this. At least, I'll be able to know how they did this."

Meanwhile, the news were portraying: The Tylers accept the responsibility for the conversion of infected people into ponies.

Chapter VI - Flying and crying.

I woke up and fell to the floor, again. I still don't get used to being an alicorn yet; but today, I might be able to enjoy it while it lasts. Today, Tia and Luna are gonna teach us how to fly!

After eating our breakfast, we headed outside to enjoy Saturday in the best possible way, flying. The sky was clear and with few clouds, and the sun was shining without burning my skin, sorry, fur. Philomena was also preparing herself to accompany us during the flying session. She left her nest and placed herself on mom's back; and after a few seconds of waiting, Tia started speaking:

"Ok everyone," she exclaimed, "the first thing you need to know about flying is to forget everything you think you know about the topic. With William, we discovered that our flying ability relays more on our magic rather than our wings," she said as she lifted herself of the ground. "Just flap them, and trust that they'll do the work, as long as you flap them."

I started to follow the instructions as we started to elevate ourselves. Mom and Melissa were lifting of the ground as well, and just like that, we were flying.

"Whoa!" I shouted as we elevated. "This... Is... AWESOME!"

"I'm flying! I'm flying!" Melissa shouted.

"Wow! It wasn't that diff..." mom said until she lost control, and crashed into Melissa. "AAHH!"

"Hey!" Melissa exclaimed as she recomposed herself from the impact. "Be more care... AHHHH!" she shouted as she also lost part of her balance.

"You have to be careful with your balance," Tia explained as she helped mom with her balance. "Here, let me help you."

After some minutes of practicing, we were ready. We might not have another chance to do this in our life, so we clearly WANTED to do this; we wanted to fly. We started to fly towards the Everfree Park, for no reason other than to enjoy the speed and the breeze. For an minute, for a moment, for a single instant there was no pandemic; there was no virus spreading through the world, the tedious virtual classes didn't exist. For a moment, we were happy.

"I got the trick!" mom exclaimed as she flew to a cloud.

Bam! She... crashed into the cloud? How was that even possible?

"What's going on with this cloud?" she exclaimed as her pony head popped out of the cloud. "Clouds are not supposed to be solid!"

After placing my fee... eh, hoof into the cloud, I confirmed that it was solid; so solid that you can even walk on it, which I did of course.

"Well, note for later: magic allows you to walk on clouds." I thought.

We were tired after our first flight, so we decided to rest on the cloud. No mattress could compare to the softness of this flying cotton, and we stayed there for the next 10 minutes.

"Ah! I never thought that I would lay on a cloud, but here we are!" exclaimed Melissa.

"I recently dreamed about something similar, but on the dream I wasn't a pony," I complemented.

"I know," Luna replied. "I saw it last week, but you had a facemask on it."

"Wait," mom spoke up, "what do you mean by: 'I saw it last week'."

"Well, you see..." I begun to explain.

I told them about Luna's ability to enter other people's dreams. After this revelation, mom asked:

"And why you didn't told me before?"

"Em... Well..."

"You could really help when I have nightmares!" Melissa exclaimed with excitement.

"You... you really mean it?" the dark blue filly asked. "I'm not sure if it would be a good idea."

"Are you kidding!" Melissa replied. "I'm sure anyone would love your company during a bad dream!"

We continued this talking/relaxing during 5 more minutes, until we decided to continue our flying. We did races, we stared at the view, and even saw another pegasus! Apparently, he was testing his flying abilities; he was worried about not turning back, but after telling him how the transformation works, he was a little bit less worried.

We descended to the Everfree Park, still laughing about a joke that Tia told us up there, when suddenly:

Pum! A small rock impacted on Tia's head.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed. "What..."

"You!" an unknown voice boomed from behind the white alicorn. "You're the one that's converting humans into ponies!"

I turned my head to face the intruder, and I found her: a tall woman, with a very angry face, and with more rocks on her hands.

"Do you think it's funny!?" the woman continued. "Or you just feel to lonely because you were the only one of your species that you had to revoke humanity from us for the sake of your desires? You stupid," she threw another rock to the filly. "HORSE!"

"Ouch!" Tia exclaimed, as tears begun to fall from her eyes. "I didn't..."

"For your fault, my grandma is a stupid UNICORN! She was perfectly fine," she threw another rock, "until you came!"

She was about to throw another rock, but then, a light blue aura stopped it. It was my magic, again. Also, as Philomena tried to tackle her with her fire wings, Luna's aura stopped her.

"Better if we just leave," I spoke to the rest of the family, "sorry for the trouble," I said to the tall woman as we spread our wings to start our way back home.

"Hey! Come back here!" I heard the echoing shouts of the woman as we elevated ourselves to the sky.

"Are people angry with us?" Tia asked me from her bed as we tried to sleep. "I mean, the conversions ARE in fact our fault."

"Don't worry, Tia," I replied. "When enough people gets back to normal, they will see you as heroes rather than monsters. Just wait and you'll see!"

"Ok," she responded before falling asleep, "if you say so."

After a while, I fell asleep. But then, I appeared on a dark void in which I couldn't see other thing rather than myself. I instantly knew that I was dreaming, but the dream was just too weird, even for my standards.

In the darkness, I saw two orbs of light, one was red and the other one was green; they were like eyes staring at me. I stared at the eyes for a few seconds, until a voice started speaking:

"THEY'RE DANGEROUS AND YOU KNOW IT!" it stated. "GET RID OF THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

"No," I replied. "You are just part of my nightmare, what do you really know about them?"

"I KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THEM!" the voice replied. "AFTER ALL, I'M YOU."

"If you say so," I replied before walking away from the eyes.

"REMEMBER THIS!" he shouted before I got to far to hear. "SOMEDAY, YOU'LL SEE HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE! SOMEDAY, HUMANITY WILL PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!"

Chapter VII - Goodbye 2020, see ya NEVER.

My alarm triggered again, and I mentally prepared myself for another tedious Monday; but as my front hands touched the floor, I knew that I was a human again. I checked on Melissa and mom, they were back to normal as well, but they were still asleep. I stood up on my legs and went to the kitchen to make a great breakfast. I don't know how to feel, on one hand, we are human again! On the other hand, I'll miss flying. Anyways, now's time to make breakfast. I think that some toasts will do just fine.

"But sir!" Gregory exclaimed. "Another attempt to kidnap the fillies will be punished by the law! If you do it, then you'll be..."

"THERE'S NO TIME FOR THOSE FORMALITIES ANYMORE, GREGORY!" Osvaldo shouted. "If I'm right, humanity just has 50 more years to avoid the climate disaster that is approaching. Those fillies and their magic are the only thing that could save our society as we know it. You saw their power, you saw what they can do! No, you experimented it," he paused a second before continuing. "In a few decades, history books will tell about my heroic sacrifice, but for now, I'll be a lawbreaker if I have to. The only thing that's left to answer is: will you follow me?"

"Even to the end of the world," Gregory responded without hesitation, "brother."

Another year was about to end, and this time, I REALLY want it to end. Most of the time, I like to end the year with a little goodbye for it, and remember what I liked the most. But not this year. This year I just wanna say: Goodbye 2020 see you NEVER. Well, if I had to say a good thing about this year, it will definitely be the experience of flying; that's a memory I'll keep in my heart until the day I die.

Due to our friend the COVID, we were going to stay at home for this new year. Although we want to do something special, so we decided to cook tons of food varieties, and buy some decorations. In a matter of 30 minutes, our backyard was completely decorated with lights, a table, and other colorful stuff. We celebrated Christmas five days ago, and now we were going to do it again with new year.

Mom gave me some money to buy groceries for tomorrow's celebrations, so I put on my facemask, and headed (by walking) to the nearest supermarket. Inside, I saw almost no one buying stuff, it's like people had forgot that tomorrow is the last day of the year. It's so sad how people have forgot how to celebrate due to the pandemic, I hope that they're ok. I made my way through the aisles, picked up some tomatoes, different kinds of pasta, and some rice. I was about to go and pay for everything, when something happened:

"Sir, could you help me?" a young, crying voice spoke from behind me. "I-I'm lost."

"Sure thing little kid, do you know where are your pare..." I stopped talking as I noticed the unicorn colt in front of me.

"Please don't be afraid of me!" he exclaimed. "I don't know why, but a few moments ago I was normal, and now I'm... this."

I didn't know how to answer him, but I knew that his mom was somewhere, so after a few seconds, I said:

"She should still be somewhere around. Come on! Let's find her!"

"Ok sir," the kid responded with shyness.

I placed the colt on top of my head, and I started searching. The mother should have lost him when he transformed, and she'll never leave without her child, so she should still be around the supermarket. And due to the lack of people, and the small size of the supermarket, it'll be a easy task.

As we were making our way through the store, I noticed that few people that were there stared at us with fear. I tried not to think too much on it and focused on helping the child.

"So, how does your mom looks like?"

"Well she's not tall, has blond hair, wears glasses and... Wait, there she is!" he exclaimed while pointing a hoof to a woman that fulfilled those characteristics.

I then left the young one on the floor and he rushed to hug his mom with his forelegs. The woman reacted a bit confused and she asked:

"Excuse me... little one, who are you?"

"It's me mom!" the boy exclaimed, "your son, Oscar!"

"Oscar!" the woman replied. "I was so worried, what happened to you?"

"I don't know mom," he explained himself, "I don't know."

The family reunion lasted a bit longer; I might arrive home a bit late for this, but it's truly worth it.

With the groceries on my hands, I headed home. Tomorrow I'll make some of my best creations to celebrate the end of this horrible year. When I arrived home, I was about to rang the doorbell, when Luna appeared with a flash of her magic in front of me. She looked scared, a bit sweaty, and with an injured cheek. When she noticed me, she exclaimed:

"William, you gotta help Tia!"

"Why, what happened?"

"The-the researchinc scientists; they have Tia on their helicopter!"

"They WHAT!" I exclaimed with anger.

"The helicopter just leaved, but I managed to escape by teleporting. What should we do?"

I saw the helicopter flying away in the distance, and since Luna couldn't do it, just one idea popped in my mind.

"Do you think that you could transform me into an alicorn again? That way I can go there and rescue Celestia before it's too late."

"Well, I..." she mumbled, "I don't think it's possible."

"Please, Luna, at least try," I begged. "This could be our only chance to rescue Tia."

"Ok, I'll try," she said as her horn glowed and enveloped me on its dark blue aura. "Are you ready?"

"Yes," I replied with determination.

The helicopter was flying away very fast, but I was faster than it, I was faster than any living being on this planet. My wings never flapped this fast, and my horn glowed with rage as I approached to the airship. Then, I blasted a magical beam to the helicopter, nothing too strong, just shocking enough to stop its acceleration. I flew faster, and faster, until then:

BAM!

A rainbow explosion occurred behind me, but I didn't pay attention to it. Now, my focus was on saving Celestia.

Another BAM!

My front hooves crashed into the helicopter's door, and in an instant, I was in.

I saw a sleeping Tia (probably because some substance), a group of armed people, and a guy in a white robe.

"Ah!" the guy with the white robe shouted. "What the..."

"Listen to me!" I exclaimed. "Are you guys out of your minds! What you're doing right now is ILLEGAL! Now let out Tia and..."

"Oh, you should be William," the same guy replied, "I'm Gregory, the second in charge of this operation, and if you don't wanna have..."

Bam! I blasted him with magic, making him crash into the cockpit.

The other guys aimed his weapons to me, and then, I knew what I had to do. I jumped to where Tia was and, well, I... Teleported! My horn flashed, and in an instant, I and Tia were back on the ground.

After recovering/vomiting from the spell I just casted, I placed the young filly on my back, and started our way back home. I wish that a less uncomfortable way of teleporting existed, that left me so dizzy that I don't even wanna fly for now.

What the f*ck they were thinking? The weight of the law won't let them alone from now on.

"The weight of the law won't left us alone!" Gregory exclaimed to his brother. "What are we going to do now?"

"Pack our stuff," Osvaldo replied, "we're leaving to the forest," he said as he placed some papers on his car. "But make sure that the world gets our vaccine."

"Ok," was all that Gregory replied.

"This is just the beginning," the director mumbled to himself. "Next year will be a heavy one for the Tylers.

Chapter VIII - Kidnapping attempt!

I got stuck as an alicorn for two weeks! Neither Tia or Luna knew how to turn me into a human again. It was worth the price to save Celestia, but I thought that I'll be stuck as a pony for the rest of my life. It wasn't until I discovered, by accident, that I could turn back using my own magic and emotions, that I was able to be human again.

Things didn't go well for Researchinc. After committing a kidnapping attempt, the authorities entered on their building to arrest director Osvaldo. The only problem was, he's gone. Nobody knows were he went, but he disappeared alongside tons of Researchinc's equipment, but he doesn't have workers with him anymore.

At least they left us with a vaccine for COVID 19! It still needs to go through the tests to see if it is a functional sample, but everything indicates that it will.

Pony transformations are not going to stop though. Tia, Luna and I tried our best to try to stop them, but after many fails, we decided that it'll be better if we just leave it like this; it's saving lives after all.

The school was discussing a return to classes! Although nothing was decided yet. I really hope that they do soon, because I don't think I could resist another year of virtual education.

I don't think any of us could. Melissa is VERY frustrated about her practically lost year, mom is really tired of having to wear facemasks everywhere we go, and Celestia and Luna want to see Lara again.

Wait, I almost forgot, we're going to visit Lara today! Since COVID isn't that strong anymore, mom and Esther planned an encounter for us to enjoy before classes.

"It's sad that she's not a pegasus anymore," Celestia spoke from her car seat, "I wish that we could fly again."

"Yeah but, she needs her hands, Tia," Melissa replied. "Remember that she doesn't have a horn like you or Luna, she won't be able to read, write or anything complex with her hooves."

"Oh," Tia exclaimed, and after a few seconds, she replied: "But she could use her mouth!"

Melissa stared at the white alicorn with a confused glare, "Her mouth? That's a thing I'll like to see."

"We only have like ten loyal workers without including you or me," Gregory told his brother. "And we have just: an helicopter with low fuel, three cars with reasonable amount of fuel, some weapons, some lab equipment and some tents. How do you think that we are going to capture those elusive fillies?"

"We'll play our cards in the vest way possible," Osvaldo replied. "If we do it right, humanity will remember us as the ones that brought free limitless resources for everyone, and probably world peace. We just have to be persistent."

They were at the forest nearby the city. As Gregory said, they were just twelve people with some vehicles, lab equipment, scattered tents around the place, and some food reserves. They were practically at the edge of misery.

"Prepare a vehicle an two men, Gregory, I think that I just came up with an idea."

"Ok brother, the helicopter?"

"No, we might fail today, and I don't want to use all our remaining fuel in just one attempt. Just a car is fine."

"Understood."

Wow, I almost forgot how it was a reunion like this! We played some monopoly, ate a soup, and chatted a LOT.

"Philomena is fine, maybe you could see her one of these days." Melissa said to Lara.

"Really!" she replied. "Do you think she misses me?"

"She does!" Luna complemented. "Every time someone says your name, Philomena starts squeaking and flying without control. She clearly misses you."

"Really!?" Lara exclaimed. "Oh, that's so sweet of her."

"Lara," I spoke.

"Yes," she replied.

"It's your move." I said while pointing the checkers game in front of us.

"Oh, I almost forgot," she replied, and then, she took one of her pieces, and move it across mines, practically destroying my entire board.

"Wow! You're really good at this," I said, astonished.

Knock! Knock! Knock! The door was slammed with a noise that, due to the last year, I know well. The sound of a hoof.

"I'll see who is out there," Esther said.

I also went with her, just to see if I could help.

"Hello?" a dark green pony saluted as Esther opened the door. "I need help, I don't know how, but I have transformed into this."

"Yeah, sure," Lara's mom replied as she finished to open the door. "Come in, I'm sure that we can... AAAAHHH!"

She didn't finish her sentence, because the green stallion kicked her with his forelegs. Then, he rushed to me but I was able to avoid his attack.

"Now!" he exclaimed to someone in the outside. "The door is open!"

Then, an armed girl entered to the house. She fired two darts to the fillies that immediately left them unconscious; then, she fired to mom, then to Melissa, then to Esther, then to...

She was gonna fire to me! Fortunately, before she did, I tackled her and fought with her to try to get her weapon. Her pony companion wasn't just going to stay there, so the stallion started running to tackle me. Luckily, I grabbed the woman an pushed her into the stallion's path. They both crashed, and in the meantime, I used the opportunity to grab the dart weapon.

"What's your problem!" I shouted to them while pointing them with the weapon. "What are you doing here!?"

"Well we..." the pony started to say, but then he exclaimed: "Run!" and he, alongside the woman on his back, rushed to the door.

Next thing I heard was the sound of a car engine starting up, which let me know that they left. After several minutes, I managed to wake mom up, and after explaining her what happened, she said:

"You don't need to be a genius to know who sent those guys."

"Osvaldo," I complemented.

"They're going to try this kind of things again. How do they even know that we're here and not in our home?"

"They must have their ways," I replied. "Probably they were already monitoring the fillies, so maybe that's how."

"What are we gonna do?" she asked.

"I don't know," I said. "But I know that I'll defend those fillies with my life if necessary."

At night, I had another nightmare like the last one. On it, I saw those red and green eyes staring at me from the darkness. Then, the same creepy voice spoke up.

"DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO END WELL FOR PEOPLE?" he asked. "THEY CAN ALREADY TRANSFORM HUMANS INTO PONIES, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE THEM AGAINST HUMANITY?"

"Well because..."

"WHAT, BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUR FRIENDS? THEY'RE GONNA BETRAY YOU, THEY ARE GONNA..."

"Look, if you are just going to say the same things as before, you could just save saliva, I'll protect then with my life."

"AND ARE YOU SURE THAT THEY ARE GONNA DO THE SAME FOR YOU?"

"Well," I hesitated before replying. "Yes! Of course they would, and of course that they'll never do anything against humanity."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW IT, THEY'RE NOT HUMANS."

"Shut up!" I shouted before leaving the place once again. I hope that that voice isn't right about Celestia and Luna. I hope that nothing bad happens.

Chapter IX - Preparing for the end.

And I thought that 2020 was hard! It would be the hardest, if a wanted criminal wasn't trying to attack your family almost twice per week!

We got 'used' to it, but this is getting out of hand. The police are trying to help, but since they don't know where to look, they don't know how their pony forms look like, and Osvaldo's people have heavy equipment, they can't do too much rather than continue, and fail, their search.

The reason because they're failing, is because having two magical ponies that can defend themselves with their magic is very useful if what you want is avoid kidnap.

Our magic lessons are now more focused on Tia and Luna learning some defensive, and offensive, 'spells' so they could be safe on school where I can't watch over them all the time.

The days turned into weeks, the weeks into months, and before I noticed, we were about to finish another year.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"You don't understand it!" Osvaldo shouted to Gregory. "If I get their power, there's nothing in this world I couldn't do! I'll become as powerful as a god!" he explained, as his last pieces of sanity were took away from him. "And with that power, I'll make sure humanity reaches peace and prosperity! No matter how many things I should sacrifice first."

Their poorly designed camp now looked more depressing than before. Now they have lost two of their cars, almost all of their fuel, and were running out of ammo.

"But all our previous attempts have failed," replied his brother, "what makes you think that this time it's gonna end up differently?"

"Simple, we'll use the helicopter," he replied.

"The-the helicopter?" Gregory asked a bit worried.

"Yes, the helicopter," the director replied with confidence. "I told you to save its fuel, remember?"

"The fuel! Yeah..." The guy with a dirty white robe responded nervously. "The fuel..."

Osvaldo's face became more threatening, "Yeah, the fuel. You saved it for a moment like this as I asked you, right?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! But our other vehicles needed that fuel and..."

SLAP! His face was slapped by his brother's hand. "HOW ARE WE GONNA EXECUTE OUR PLAN THEN!?"

"We can fix this!" Gregory immediately replied with fear on his voice.

"We?"

"I... I can fix this."

"How, explain yourself."

"Well, a military truck that's transporting fuel will pass close to our position soon. We could steal the required fuel from it."

"Which are your sources?" Osvaldo asked.

"Some of our man were militaries in the past, they know how to listen to military conversations through their phones."

Osvaldo meditated about it for a few seconds, "Go ahead, do it! This might not end that bad after all."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The time for the sports class was ending, and the two fillies known as Celestia and Luna were finishing their trotting. They were terrible at any other sport due to their physical form, but that was also the reason behind their success at running. They were the fastest in the class at the activity, and they were proud of it.

"Hey, It's not fair!" their friend, Lara, said as they headed to a small recess. "You're ponies! You're practically made for running; you're clearly faster than any of us."

"Yeah, it's nice to leave you behind while galloping," her white pony friend spoke.

"Tia!" Luna replied, "don't be that mean to Lara."

"I'm not mean," she quickly replied, "I'm just enjoying this victory, since she destroyed me on today's checkers game."

"Haha, what can I say? I enjoy being good at it."

The three friends went to their recess, chatting happily among each other. Now the finally can be at school, although, except for the fillies, they had to wear facemasks, they were still happy about their normal schooling.

Some things have changed over the years since the fillies first entered the school. Nowadays, they weren't bullied by their physical form, mostly because a great amount of the students already experienced it in the last year. It was really funny for them when they find out that the same kids that bothered them, were ponies for a full week! Their faces when they transformed to ponies at the middle of the class was more worthy than all the gold in the world.

"And your father is still at prison?" Lara asked to Celestia.

"Sadly, yes," she responded. "I don't understand why thou, but I know that it's unfair."

"I see," she replied.

"And what about your father, Lara?" Luna asked. "Why we didn't saw him before?"

At this question, Lara's smile completely disappeared, "Honestly, I never knew him," she finally responded. "He died before I was born, but from what my mom told me, he was the nicest person in the world."

After a few seconds, Luna spoke up, "I'm sorry to hear that, Lara, and I'm sorry that I asked."

"It's ok," she replied, "I never got the opportunity to know him. But I'm glad to know that he loved me."

"How do you know?" asked Tia.

"Mom told me that the day he knew that he was expecting a daughter, he decided to write a letter of love to his incoming baby," she said as her smile returned to her face. "Wait! I have a copy of it on my notebook, I could show it to you if you want."

"Sure, why not?" Tia exclaimed.

"I'd love that, Lara," complemented Luna.

The three friends went to their classroom in the search for the notebook in question. They weren't the same little girls as the year they met; nowadays, Lara was much more taller, and the fillies much larger than the first time they saw William. Now their heads reached the chest of a normal adult, so they seemed to be very much threatening than before.

The fact that nobody, besides Lara, saw them during an entire year also helped to their new appearance. In shorter terms, they were the same but larger.

"Here it is!" Lara exclaimed as she held the English notebook. "I knew that I copied it here."

"That's great but, why did you decide to copy it here?" Celestia asked.

"I got REALLY bored during a lesson," she replied, "so I copied the first part on the notebook. And since I didn't like to see it incomplete, I finished the rest when I got home. Anyways, let me start..."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"There's the truck!" Said Gregory as his finger raised to point out the military truck. "Wait for it..."

The fuel truck was just moving as normal through the highway.

"Wait for it..."

The mentioned vehicle was reaching a point on the road, a point that the fugitives planned an hour ago.

"Now!"

One of their companions pushed a red button he had on his hand. At the moment he pushed it, an explosion appeared at the front of the truck, but far enough so it would not trigger the fuel.

The truck stopped at the sudden explosion; and then, Gregory shouted to his three companions:

"Shoot at the driver! Now's our time!"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"...I don't know yet in what kind of girl you'll turn," Lara started to read, "but I'll guide you from birth for you to become the best you possible. From the moment I knew that I was going to be a father, I didn't hesitate; I know what I have to do. I will be with you, Lara, always remember that. I'm writing this so when you discover the meaning of words you can know that I loved you from the beginning, and I always will.
With love,
Dad."

"Awwwww! That's so cute!" Luna said as Lara finished the letter. "But what happened to him?"

"Well, he died on a car accident," she stated. "But it's ok, mom is the best mom in the world, and I'm glad to know that he would have loved me if it wasn't for his death."

The three friends continued their chatting until the bell marked the end of their recess. They were already at the classroom, so they just had to wait until their classmates return. Lara now felt more happy than before, her friendship with Celestia and Luna was getting stronger, and almost nobody bothered them anymore; what could possibly go wrong?

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

This was supposed to be a normal day for me, how did I get from having a normal coffee in the morning to having a guy pointing his weapon towards my brain?

"Stay there!" The guy with the weapon shouted, then he turned back to his companion at the back of my truck and exclaimed: "Gregory, is it done already?"

"Yes!" A voice from the back of the truck exclaimed. "The fuel is ours!"

Then, the man in front of me proceeded to tie my hands on my back, tie my legs as well, and leave me there at my own.

The last thing I saw from them is how they attached the fuel container to a truck of their own; their engine ignited with a roar and, in a few seconds, they left.

How am I supposed to explain this to my boss?

Sorry for taking too long, but here's chapter IX!

Chapter X - The end is near (part I)

Maybe it's just me, but the years appear to pass more and more fast across time. Now's 2022, and I have to say that this year will be a LOT easier than the previous years.

First of all, COVID is almost over. The vaccines that Researchinc made made the disease go to the edge of extinction, and ponies around the city, and by consequence the critics towards Celestia and Luna, are becoming more rare with each day that passes.

And second, and this one is extremely weird, Osvaldo stopped his kidnap attempts towards the fillies! And it's been 5 months since his last attempt, I wonder why though.

And, not about the difficulty of the year, Luna learned how to teleport at will! It took us nearly five years, but she did it!

Ah, life is good!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Wait, are you leaving us alone!" I shouted as my mother stated that she's leaving for some days.

"There's an amazing job opportunity," she replied, "but I need to go to an interview to another city to get a chance to get it."

I replied with the most astonished face I ever made in my entire life. Mom NEVER leaved us alone, and the one time she did, prior to the arrive of the fillies, I burned my hand with the oven.

"Oh, come on! You're 17 years old, I think this could be a perfect practice for the future." she said with a smile. I never thought of that, time passed too quickly thanks to all the magical stuff that I barely noticed its speed. "I'll be back in a week," she said, "don't let anything else happen to Tia an Luna."

"Don't worry, they tried to kidnap them before, and they always failed," William said. "They can fly, run very fast, and now I just taught Luna how to teleport."

"Ok, See you later Tia!" she said as she gave a hug to the withe alicorn. "I'll miss you Luna!" she said as the black pony enjoyed her hugging time. "Don't forget to be nice Melissa, and do everything William says."

"I'll do, I'll do." William's sister responded.

We ended up hugging each other without a concrete order, at least in a week we'll reunite, and I don't think we're wrong.

As soon as she leaved with the car, Melissa spoke, "You know, I won't do EVERYTHING you say, right?"

"Yeah, I know you TOO well to know that that's true," I said to then exclaim a laugh. "Well, I guess we could invite Lara to a slumber party!"

"Really!" Tia spoke up with excitement. "We could fly a bit with her!"

"You know she's not a pegasus anymore, right?"

"Yes!" she exclaimed with confidence. "Just wait until she comes and you'll see!"

"Ok..." I responded, uncertain of what she meant by that.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"I waited a long time for this moment," Osvaldo said to his brother, "and since they lowered their guards, they won't see this coming."

The camp that once was hidden in the forest almost didn't exist anymore. The band of criminals was now just reduced to four members (including Osvaldo and his brother), since the rest of them were imprisoned over time.

"Are you sure that..."

"Of course this is going to work, brother," Osvaldo said as he recharged his dart weapon and placed it inside the refueled helicopter, "I have been observing the Tyler family a long time to prepare for this moment; the moment in which my dreams and hopes for humanity finally come true. I had to go through a lot of obstacles to get to this moment: those fillies escaping, the Discord incident, the pandemic... But at least one of them will serve useful to my purpose," he said as he lifted to the the last piece of his plan to the helicopter: a magical vacuum which contained Discord.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Lara!" Celestia and Luna exclaimed in unison as the girl got off her car.

"Tia, Luna!" the girl said as she went to hug the fillies.

"Take care of her," said Lara's mom to me, "and of them as well," she said pointing her head to the fillies.

"I will try," I responded.

"Alright, I'll come for her in tomorrow's morning," she said as her car's engine roared, impulsing the vehicle forward. "See ya!"

"See ya!" I replied.

After she came, we entered the house and into the living room; a fun night is waiting for us!

After some monopoly, more checkers defeats against Lara, some popcorn, and a movie; Tia told everybody that she had something to show us. She asked Lara to come closer to her, then closer, then more closer, until she was in front of the white alicorn.

"Well, Lara, are you prepared?" Tia asked.

"Prepared for what?" she replied.

"You'll see," the filly said as she lowered her head to touch the human in front of her with her horn. And then, it started glowing. "Don't worry, you know I can turn you back later."

"Wait, what are you doing with La..." I tried to say. but a sudden white flash that emerged from Tia's horn, blinding me in the process.

After a few seconds of blindness, I opened my eyes; just to find a very familiar pegasus in the place in which Lara was. To my horror, it was Lara.

"Ta-da!" Tia exclaimed.

"WHA-WHAT!?" I shouted. "Lara, ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?"

"Of course!" She calmly responded. "It's not the first time I do this after all."

"I know, but it's been almost two years since that."

"Yeah... But it's also not the second one."

Wait, did you..." I said as I faced Tia, "transform her before?"

"Well... Just two or or three times..." she said with fear on her voice, "per week. Bu-but I can always turn her back!" She quickly responded.

I just stared at the situation that was in front of my eyes, with even more fear than before. Now she can transform humans at will; what's next?

"Si-since when y-you can do this?" I asked.

"Well, when you got transformed to save me, Luna tried to replicate it to see if she can."

"And Lara once told us that she wanted to fly again, so..." Luna complemented. "I tried it on her. With her permission!, of course."

"And did you manage to turn her back afterwards?"

"Well," pony Lara started to say, "after five minutes or so of flying, I wanted to change back; and Luna couldn't. So I pretended to got reinfected with COVID for a week."

"Ah! So you weren't sick four months ago!" I said, surprised.

"Yeah; luckily, Tia managed to turn me back after a week, so nobody ever noticed," she finally said. "Well, can we go flying now? Is not dark yet."

"Ok..." I said a bit worried. "But just in the backyard. I don't wanna loose you out there."

We headed to the mentioned place, and they started their flight; even Melissa got transformed and joined them. I admit that I really want to go there with them, but I'm just too tired now to join them, even if they transformed me.

Suddenly, a helicopter made its appearance near the flying fillies. At first it seemed a bit normal, it isn't the first time I see one of those near the house. But then, it started to go lower and lower, until the wind it created could be felt all over the garden. Even Philomeana got out of her nest.

The fillies descended to the ground immediately. Then, one of the helicopter's doors opened in midair, and a well-known creature popped out of it: Discord.

"What the..."

I don't know what happened next. I just felt something hit my right arm, and then I fell unconscious.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"William!" Luna's voice boomed on my left ear. "Tia... Tia got kidnapped!"

Next chapter will be the last one. After it, I beg you to read the original story "A Legend Returns" to not feel that this story is incomplete beacouse it's not.
Enjoy :)

As always, I accept suggestions.

Chapter XI - The end is near (part II)

Panic; panic started to take control over me. I didn't know what to do, or where's Tia; all I knew was that she's gone and, alongside a mad scientist as Osvaldo, her life might not last too long.

When I woke up, just Luna was conscious enough to explain anything (Lara suffered from the same fate as me). She said that she was safe because she teleported, but she didn't know where they go with Tia.

Also, Discord is apparently free. I don't know why the sky is still blue though; but maybe it's better like this. After all, the priority is Tia.

Apparently, I slept for a full day! He used horse sedant on me after all. And, after returning Lara to normal and to her home, we threw to the trash can a whole day trying to find her.

When we were near the Everfree park, Luna couldn't take it anymore. She collapsed in a sorrowful cry.

"Tia!" Luna shouted as tears begun to make her fur on her face wet. "Where are you!? I-I miss you! It's almost as if I could still feel your magical aura!"

"Don't worry, Luna; we're gonna... Wait, what do you mean with 'magical aura'?" I asked.

"She has a distinctive magical aura that I can feel," she replied. "Didn't you feel it when you were transformed into an alicorn?"

That was the moment in which I saw a spark of hope.

"I... I actually did! And I still kinda remember it!" I exclaimed; it was like a sensation of a golden presence and, for some reason, it reminded me to her voice. "Do you think that you could use that to find her?"

I was sure that with her help, we could finally find Tia and put an end to Osvaldo's crimes. All we needed was Luna to be brave. er face told me otherwise; her big eyes just showed me horror; her soul was deeply disturbed by this.

"Going... To-to whe-where Osvaldo is!" she said as her sadness was replaced with fear. "No, no, no, no, no! He-he will kill me! He will kill you! He will..."

She didn't finish what she was saying. She just hugged tightly my left leg, as trying to find on it the strength to help her sister.

"It's ok, it's ok," I said to her, "I know that you're scared about him, but this might be our only chance to rescue Tia."

After leaving my black coat, and probably my Little Prince book since I always leave it there, she spoke, "I'm a terrible sister, aren't I? Even after all these years I can't confront him, even if he kidnapped my sister! Why can't I help her when she needs me?"

In that moment, the spark of hope started to blur but, to keep it alive, my brain created an idea, one that turned out to be a lie, just to keep alive the hope.

"there might be something you can do for her; do you remember when you transformed me into an alicorn?"

"Yes," she replied a bit puzzled.

"Well, when you did it, you gave me a bit of your magical power. Do you think that you could do it again, just without the pony transformation part?"

The hope was kept alive, for a while at least.

"I... I could try." She finally replied.

Her horn glowed dark blue once more; this time, I felt magic entering my body as the last time but this time was WAY much more energy. I felt like it was fire that burned my interiors. Also, after the pain ended, I didn't have any hoof, wing, or horn.

It worked.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I ran. I ran as fast as I could with my new power. If this is what Osvaldo is after, now I understand why. Every step that I made impulsed me one or two meters, while also not getting tired. I told Luna to wait at home with Melissa for my return with Tia, a lie that I told to her and to myself.

With her magic, I could feel a tiny 'aura' coming from outside the city. It was like Celestia's voice but without words. Every step that I made got me closer and closer to her, but, what kept my hope alive was the fact that if I can feel her aura, then she's still alive! She's not dead!

But the hope will die soon.

After 15 minutes or so, I reached the forest that was outside the city and, approaching more slowly to the place I thought Celestia was, I saw something that I was fearing, but expecting: Celestia... about to die.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" she screamed as a weird machine, that tied her horn, limbs, and wings extracted what it appeared to be her aura from her.

"50% of the magic was already transferred, brother," a guy in a dirty white robe exclaimed, "just a few hours more!"

At the other side of the weird machine, I saw Osvaldo, but his eyes were glowing in white, he was levitating, and his clothes suffered from some burns.

"STOP RESISTING YOURSELF!" he shouted. "YOU'RE JUST MAKING THIS MORE PAINFUL THAN IT SHOULD BE!"

"NEVER!" Tia replied from her prison.

"OSVALDO!" I shouted as I revealed myself from my hiding spot. "We're gonna have a talk about this!" After shouting that, I focused a fist and with pure magic, and anger, I rushed to the machine and instantly destroyed it with a single punch.

A HUGE colorful explosion followed afterwards. Fortunately, I didn't fall unconscious. I recovered quickly, rushed to where Celestia was, and tried to wake her up.

"Tia! Tia! Are you alright?"

After a moment or two, and some slaps on her face, she started to wake up, "Wi... William?"

Now, hope was more alive than ever.

"Yes, it's me! We gave to get out of here!" I said as I placed her on my shoulders.

Then, it died.

"Oh my! Am I interrupting anything?" Osvaldo's voice sounded behind me.

Next thing that happened, was that I felt something HOT and STRONG that hit my back. Tia recovered better than me from the fall, so I shouted to her:

"Run! Run away from here! Before he... AAHH!" I was interrupted by a red magical beam that I quickly discovered was the same thing that hit me before.

"I have been studying magic for many more years than you 'did'. You seriously thought that this would be, EASY!?" he shouted again as another beam blasted me, but this time, much more far and painful than the others.

I closed my eyes after the impact because of the sudden attack. When I reopened them, which was after ten seconds, I found out that I was at the city again (and that someone might need a new car). As I felt the deep fain in all my limbs, head, and... well, basically my whole body, I saw a sudden red flash beside me, and then, another red beam.

"I also know how to teleport," He said as he punched me again, "because I managed to access all the memories of almost five years of training you did with 'Tia'," another punch hit my face. "She almost had it right, good thing that I know how to repair her dumb mistakes. Also, I think you don't know this but..." another strike of his stolen magic hit me, and the last thing I listened before being blasted through the air again was, "I USE TO BE A SOLDIER!"

This time, a tree was the first thing my back found on its path. I would be more than dead by now if it wasn't for Luna's magic. I stood up to find out that I was on the Everfree park.

A red flash let me know that Osvaldo followed me again. I tried to resist, but, when he grabbed me and threw me up into the skies, he did it too fast for me to even think.

I ended up in a cloud (I guess that my magic still allows me to walk on clouds); stood up again, and immediately feel to the floor/cloud. My whole body felt as if a train had passed through it, which, now that I think about it, would have been better than what really happened.

Another red flash.

"Interesting, walking on clouds. Anyways, DIE!"

Then, he blasted the cloud with me on it, but this time, I fought back with my own blue magical beam. As we fell, we were punching, firing beams, and more. Every strike was meant to kill.

We continued battling, until the director finally tackled me unto the ground and started to beam more energy from his fists.

I was containing this energy with my magic, but it was getting harder to do as a ball of energy began to grow between us.

"Ready to surrender?" he said as he intensified the energy he was beaming.

"Never!" I responded. "Not even in 20000 years, this world shouldn't be ruled by a monster like you!"

Then, the ball of energy that was formed between us exploded. And the last thing I knew before loosing my consciousness was that the the ball of energy first impacted on my head before completely detonating.

If I die, I just hope that Celestia and Luna can finally live a happy life; they deserve it.

Chapter VIII - The meeting.

It’s been a few days, and by now, Celestia and Luna stopped worrying much about signing up to school. They were asking questions about classes, subjects and much more. It was looking like they forgot about the fear they had, but today was the day. Today me, my mom and both sisters will be meeting the director if the school. We have huge chance of accepting, since the director himself supported us on getting human right for Tia and Luna. Looking at them, they were happy and excited, but at the same time nervous and scared. Melissa tried her best to comfort them , but I don’t think I helped.

“Are you ready?” My mom asked us. Me and sisters nodded in approval.

“We can’t be more ready!” Celestia said. “It’s the most exciting day ever!”

“Save your happiness for later” I commented. “When you will be accepted along Luna you will have plenty of time for your cheering.”

It still took a while to get Celestia to stop jumping everywhere out of joy. After this we left my… our home, so we can sign both fillies to school.

I was waiting in corridor with my mom and Celestia and Luna. I was very nervous about the meeting. After around 15 minutes we were called by the secretary and entered the room. It was quite big, and had enough chairs, so that everyone can sit, including the fillies.

“Good afternoon. My name is mr. Jones, and I’m director of this school, and I hope you are miss Tyler right?” He asked my mom. She nodder in confirmation. “So let’s begin, shall we? You want to sign the Celestia and Luna…. What’s they surname?” He asked again looking at both fillies.

“We didn’t think about that much, but I’m sure you can sign them up under our surname.” I said, looking with a smile at Celestia and Luna.

“Ok, so Celestia and Luna Tyler, you’re going to sign in to elementary school. We just need some basic information about you, like birth date, city and state of birth, and other information needed to fill in.” As he said it I started feeling nervous. I was asking myself why I didn’t asked Celestia and Luna about that information. That was a little awkward for me, and for sure for both sisters too. I doubt they know where they were created and when, skipping the year. I looked at them. They from confident, but now they became nervous and scared.

“We-we were born in 2009.” Said Celestia

“Do you know day and month?” Director asked.

“Yes. I’m from 29 of June 2009.”

“And I’m from 10 of July!” Said Luna. Stopping Celestia from telling her birth day I smiled but Celestia looked angrily at her sister.

“Ok.” he said writing down something on his computer, probably things that we told him moments ago.

“You were born in Eastville?” He asked. Eastville is a city i with my family we’re living right now. I looked at my mom. We didn’t know where was researchinc labs.

“Hmm… I think so?” Said Luna. It seems that she also wasn’t sure about it.

“Ok I think we are done with you. Miss Tyler, can I please ask you about contact information with you.” He stated. “So can I please have your number and home address.”

“Ok my phone number is…”

It’s been boring half an hour, giving out personal information about my mom and surprisingly about me too, which was weird, since I’m not their dad or other. It’s closer to theirs half brother or something. Finally after it seems to be eternity he finished.

“Ok I finished writing your personal information. Expect a letter from school in about 3 days. You can leave. Except you young boy.” he said stopping me from leaving. When he said it I got very scared. What does he want? He definitely isn’t researchinc spy. He supported us when campaign to get them human rights started. When my mom leaves with both fillies I showed me to sit down.

“No need to be scared I just want you to ask some questions.” He said calming me down a bit. “I will go straight into it. Do you have a father?” He asked.

I was shocked by the question. “Y-yes mister.” I said.

“Can I ask where is he?” mr. Jones continued.

“He is in prison. He was falsely arrested while protecting Celestia and Luna.” I said slowly. I felt a tear going down my face.

“So that’s why you also was here during signing?”

“Yes.” I confirmed. “When they flew I was taking care of them like brother. After the win we were just getting closed together, so that after a month we fell, that these to sisters are family members.”

“I wanted to talk with you about their future in school. I feel that if they will get accepted some kids will tag them as their ‘biggest enemy’, since they aren’t humans. This could start bullying or even worse things. I want you to prepare them for this, so they will know what to do, so that they will not hide from it but go to teacher, you, your mother and seek help, if necessary. I will personally monitor the situation so every report coming from them about discrimination against them, I will take immediate steps.”

“Thank you.” I said.

“No problem.” He answered. “ it’s my duty to keep every child save in this school. You can go now.”

“Goodbye sir. Have a nice day!” I said as I was leaving.

“You too. You too…”

It’s been 3 days. Celestia was jumping on the sofa out of excitement, Luna was calm, watching some tv in the living room with me. Then I heard a door bell ringing. When I came to the door I saw a mailman holding letter from school. I took it and after some talking ( yes, I know mailman well ) I came to Celestia and Luna and showed them a letter.

“What does it say? What does it say?” Celestia was asking, while Luna was just looking with hope, that they will get accepted. I opened letter and started reading.

“We like to inform the parents of Celestia and Luna Tyler, about acceptance to school kids mentioned above.” I read. Both sisters immediately started jumping and dancing form joy and happiness about getting accepted. Soon enough my mom came with my sister and very happy about this information, but new problems started appearing after the acceptance. One of them was how class will look at them? Thankfully there was still some vacations lest, so we didn’t worry about that. For now.

Thanks to him! Also...
Enjoy :)

As always, I accept suggestions.

SECOND SEASON.

The year passed very quickly after the Discord incident. Tia and Luna finished the school year with very good grades, and before I knew it, we were celebrating a new year, so happy 2019 I guess. Lara and the fillies, and Melissa's friendship grew stronger and stronger every day, even I got to met Lara in a very personal way. The people knew that Celestia and Luna were the ones that avoided the end of the world, and their opinions were divided. Some of them were even stopped us in the street to gave thanks to them, while others were very scared of their power, and even ran away when they saw them.

In school, they now were loved by almost everyone. Some kids still felt uncomfortable with their presence, but the great majority were pretty happy of having world heroines in their school.

Researchinc was facing a huge crisis beacouse of the Discord incident. Discord was now on a VERY safe container in the facility. I would like him to be free, but I understand that that's impossible, at least for now.

Another school year started, now we were out of home for most of the time, but that's not a problem for my mom anymore. Who'll ever say that she would be the one that become more attached to Philomena! They are practically the best friends now, and now the phoenix even sleeps on top of her head sometimes. She still sleeps on her nest though, except when it rains, then the fire bird decides to sleep with Bianca.

We also practiced the alicorn's magic very carefully. Slowly, but in safety, we were learning how it works. Now they could even levitate our car! No that they did it more than once though.

We even visited dad with the fillies once. They were more than happy to meet the man that was the closest thing they had to a father. The other prisoners stared at the fillies during the visit, but nothing out of the ordinary happened.

And even if I hope that it stays this way, something is telling me that it would not; something will happen, something serious. The power of the alicorns is just too big for the fillies to control it, and I don't think that researchinc will stop trying to put their hands in the 2 alicorns that now rest peacefully at my house.

My greatest concern is: they turned a bird into a phoenix almost by accident, could they do something similar to human beings?

Only time will tell.
