Celestia and Luna have a brother.

Life pretty much sucked. I had little to no friends, failing pretty much all classes in school. My parents abuse me and to make it worse they are my only family. That means I'm kinda stuck with them. The only good things in my life are my Video Games and my remaining dignity. After being humiliated in front of the entire school one day. I decided to end my life and make the pain stop. Right as I am about to end it all. There is a knock on the door and I go to see who it is. No one was there and strange scroll laid on the door mat. I unfurl it to read "It is time to come home, brother".

What a "Wonderful" Day

Everyone was staring at me. Their laughter seeped into my ears, making me shudder. It had started as a pretty good day for a guy whose life is filled with misery and pain. Today, though, I decided to start straightening out my life. I went "You know what? I want to start making a better life for myself."

Boy, did I screw up that idea. I had gone through half of my classes and the day was half way down but, now it was lunch. It was Pizza Day at school. To make it even better, it was my favorite day of the week, Friday. I went to my solitary corner and ate there alone, as usual. I had a hard time keeping friends; it never really worked out well and I had a hard time finding people with the same interests. When I did though, it usually didn't last very long. I used to have a friend named Dave Wills and his family was filthy rich. We swam in their pool, played in his basketball court, and had video game marathons; it was the life. His parents had been worrying about my family and me, so they had written my dad a check for $4000. A typical guy would be "This means the world to me. I don't know how to thank you for this." or "God bless you.” My dad, however, is not typical.

When presented with the check, my dad flipped out and started yelling at them. He was telling them how rude it was for them to think we needed financial help. He was insulted by their hand out and tore the check in half, slamming the door on them. After that, I never saw Dave again. I had not had a single, true friendship in a long time. It was easier now to be alone, especially since I had lost my faith in humanity.
I was finishing my pizza when it started to rain. The forecast showed a very high percentage chance of rain during the whole week, but I didn't care, I loved the rain. Something had caught my eye, there was a girl with a jet black rain coat on and had long blue hair that looked like the night sky. I thought "I have never seen her here before."

Unfortunately, my staring at her was noticed by Seth, the school bully. "Hey Ronny, checking out that girl, I see."

My body shuddered when he had made his comment, and to make it worse, my face started blushing.

"Shut up Seth."

"You gonna call your parents to help you. Oh that's right they would be you up for me."

"Okay, very funny."

"No it's not funny, I'm sorry; your right, I'll stop," he said with the most annoying, sarcastic voice he could, while chucking a school lunch milk at me. Which got me drenched even more than the rain had already done.

He ran over and grabbed my back pack. Pushing me out of the way while trying to stop him. He then proceeded to dump all my stuff into the trash can.

I got up clenching my fists and said, "I mean it."

"Oh, we got a bad ass over here."

"I'm not going to take your B.S. today."

"Oh really, what are you gonna do about it?"

"Just knock it off."

"Or what?"

I jumped at him and threw a punch, but it was a complete miss. He came down with his elbow on my spine; it felt like your shins getting hit with a baseball bat, which hurts like crazy. His group of cronies came over and picked me up, carrying me over to the quad. They tossed me on the ground and one of them kicked me in the chest, which knocked the wind out of me. After holding on to my freshly bruised chest for a few moments, I opened my eyes to see a crowd forming. Seth was waiting there and had a nice little present for me; He emptied a trash can all over me. I really should have just taken Seth's abusive comments, because this is much worse. I "had" to stand up and pick a fight with him. I just "had" to be that one kid who would go "Enough is enough."

Laughter was all around me; I just about had had enough of it when Seth said, "Aww, poor guy, do you need any help?"

After hearing that, I just lost it. I jumped up, socking Seth right in the chin. I came back with another swing, punching him right on the side of his face. I then kicked him onto the ground. Sitting down on his chest, I rapidly punched his face, going back and forth. I continued this for a few moments before some teachers pulled me off of him and carried me away. I saw Seth cringing on the ground as I was being directed to the office. In a way, I felt good for beating up Seth, but I also felt bad. I don't why I would feel bad for doing that to somebody like Seth because he is a huge jerk. I still felt bad though for having to stoop down to his level, I guess. I had a long talk with the principle before I had to apologize for beating up Seth. To make it worse, I had to apologize to his parents as well. He had to apologize to me, which was music to my ears. After it was all done, I had to wait for my ride, a police officer. One cop was called about the ordeal and was going to take me home after he questioned Seth and me. Once we were done, we were finally off. He didn't go straight home at first; he drove me to Greasies, the greatest burger place on earth. He got out of the car and told me to come on in. I went to the bathroom to clean myself up, where my knuckles were bleeding from how bruised they got due too so much punching. I cleaned up and went back to the cop to see an order of cheese burgers, fries, and milkshakes on the table. I thought he had ordered two meals for himself, but I sat across from him in the booth anyways.

"That's a lot of food," I said.

"It's not all for me. Dig in."

"Really? Even after what I did?"

"What you did was standing up to him. Even though it wasn't the best decision to fight him, it was well justified."

"But..."

"It's okay, just eat."

We brought up in conversation about what his job was like and how he had a troubled past as a kid. We even talked about our favorite video games. We both liked Rock Star games: RDR, LA Noire, GTA. When we were done, we got back into the car and drove towards my house.
My parents had learned about what happened to me and my dad was waiting as the cop car dropped me off at home. He drove off saying, "Good luck kid, remember you are the master of who you are."

"Thank you, and by the way, what's your name?"

"It's Roy!"

He waved out the window as he went around the corner. I walked inside to see my dad waiting there for me. After I had received a whiping from his belt, he went off to the bar to get a drink. I knew that I would be alone by myself until mom got back from vacationing in Vegas. I went to the bathroom and took off my shirt to check where on my back I was bleeding from the whips I had received. I took a shower to get myself clean and the wounds on my back stung from the water hitting them. When I was done I started to play some Fall of Cybertron to get my mind off of things. It didn't work, so I just sat on my bed, deep in thought. Out of nowhere, I was hit by a huge wall of emotions. I burst into tears, not being able to contain myself. I could not believe what I had been through: all the bullying, being a social outcast, abusive parents, the lack of friends for most of my life, and the bad grades at school. I was trying to remember any good times I may have had. The only good times I thought of were the time I had spent with my very few actual friends. Nothing good had come out of my life so I decided to end it all.

I pulled my dad's snub nose out of his dresser and went into the corner of the living room. I loaded the gun and put the barrel into position. I could taste cold metal and sulfur at the roof of my mouth. I was shaking but steadily pulling on the trigger, when fate came knocking on my door, literally. There were three clear knocks on the door. I took the gun out of my mouth and hid it just in case it was dad coming in. Nothing happened, so I waited about a minute and walked over to the door. I opened it revealing a scroll on the front door mat. Puzzled, I picked it up and unfurled to see what it said.

"It is time to come home, brother."

"WHAT!!!!????!?!?!"

I look up out the window and across the street and there is the same girl that I saw at school. I stood there, puzzled, and then all of a sudden I felt a huge wave of energy hit me and then......blackness.
I had strange dreams of me floating in the clouds. I would fly across the sky at amazing speeds and I felt like I could go on forever. The strangest part of the dream was the voices.

"Come on Celestia, it's time you get some rest."

"No Luna I'll be fine, I need to stay here with him".

"Come on sis, you've been here by his side since he first arrived. You need rest."

"I said no Luna!!!"

"Come on Tia, look at your self. You are distraught with worry and, have not left his bed side in 24 hours since he arrived. You need rest."

"But Luna..."

"I know you care much for him, as do I. Celestia please, you must relax."

"LUNA I HAVE TO BE HERE!!!"

The loud shout had filled my dream with intensity. It was getting unbearably quite until the voices started talking again. "Sorry Tia I..."

"No it's not okay, I should not have raised my voice."

"Celestia it's okay I'll leave you be. Will you at least come have some breakfast with me in the morning. You need to take a breather, for your sake."

"Alright I will. See you in the morning."

"Night sis."

The dream had become suddenly still and quite, and slow dissipated to nothing. I slowly opened my eyes. "Hi boring old ceiling," I said. I took me a few moments to realize the room I was in wasn't mine. I also had a strange sensation in my feet as I tried to wiggle my toes. Absolutely nothing happened, so I started panicking. I moved out my arms from under the sheets to discover gray fur all the way down and hooves where my hands should be. My arms and legs started feeling weaker and I felt a weird movement on my back. I looked behind me to see wings. I jumped out of bed and fell flat on my face. I realized "Oh yeah I have an extra set of legs, remember." I was slowly getting up and my back legs had slid underneath me, making me land on my back. I attempted one more time to get up, only to fail again. This time I slowly got up and got up into position and slowly started walking. The hooves were really sensitive to every step, it was a tickling and painful sensation at the same time. I walked over to a mirror on the other side of the room. I looked into the mirror and saw myself. I have a dark blue mane with a white streak going down the middle and a tail that matched. I have giant wings on my back, which I was hoping was just my imagination when I first saw them about a minute ago. I also have a have a horn coming out of my forehead. My eyes grew bigger than saucers and my heart started to beat erratically. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I ran around the room frantically, spazzing everywhere. Two guards run in and ask "Prince Eclipse, are you all right?”

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

I crash through them to get out of the room. I started running in a random direction that I picked. I have never seen this place before and I didn't care; I just wanted to get out of there. As I picked up speed, I realized I started to go up in the air. I look to see the wings on my back flapping. My wings stopped almost instantly when I looked at them and I started to plummet. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

Two ponies were enjoying a nice breakfast in the room below me until I came "flying" in.

"Guards alert us when Eclipse awakes."

"Yes Princess Celestia," both guards said in unison.

"Oh, Luna I can't wait to see him."

"As am I, sis."

"Luna do you hear that noise?"

"Yes, in a matter of fact. What do you suppose that is Tia?"

"I don't know Luna."

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"Tia, look out!!!!!"

I had crashed right into their nice set-up that they were having for breakfast.

"Oh my, are you all right?"

"AAAAHHhhh..... Whatever, I give up."

"Give up what.... Wait, Luna is this...?"

"Yes it is, Celestia."

"Oh, Luna, I don't think I could have waited any longer for him to wake up. It's been killing me to see him ever since he got home. Plus, that breakfast was not effectively keeping me occupied."

"Wait, what's going on?"
The white rainbow-maned pony gives me a huge hug. "Welcome home Eclipse".

"Who are you and where am I?"

"Soon, my brother, everything will be answered."

"I'm your brother?"

"Yes,” spoke Celestia.

"No, that can't be right," I said as my mind expanded with questions and worry.

I looked at the other one and said, "The dark haired one looked like the girl that I saw at my school."

"All will be explained, come with us for there is much to talk about," spoke the blue haired pony known as Luna.

Getting Used to Things.

I was just sitting there listening to my two supposed sisters. They went on blabbering about some land filled with ponies called Equestria. That our "family" line ruled Equestria, and that I was a prince. I learned that I had to be sent to the human realm, because my body could not contain my magical essence and life force. They explained to me how I had to stop an eclipse from keeping the world in a eternal darkness. Continuing on with the story they told me I was very young and when I used my magic to separate the moon and the sun, my body had lost all it's will to hold my life force. Our family had to decide what to do with me so they sent my life force into the human world. I would return to my body when it regained it's strength. Celestia explained that if I was in my original body, the magic would be amplified killing me, since it could not handle the pressure caused by it. Also I was in the human world for about three thousand years, and I had previous lives before now. The time between Equestria and the human universe is different so I had spent less time as a human than I would have if I was a pony in Equestria.

I finally shook off the weirdness on my shoulders and muttered "So uhh... well this is all interesting."

"I know this seems all wrong to you, but you really are our brother. We had to do what we did to save you" replied Celestia.

"One thing I don't understand is why would you send my life force into the human world, and I end up with such a crappy life."

Luna replied this time "Well you see if we gave you a life very similar to our lifestyle used to being wealthy and loved by your family, you would remember what happened and get transported back here. We had to take measures to make sure you would return back when your body was in full strength and ready to handle your magic."

"I know this may be going off topic, but I am guessing Luna was the dark haired girl who I saw right before I fainted."

"Yes it was me I was sent to bring you back home brother, and we our so glad you are back."

Luna comes over to me and gives me a big hug. I flinch and tense up at first, but then I begin to relax her hug melting me like butter. Her embrace was so warm and comforting, for the first time in so long I actually felt loved. Not the intimate kind, the kind of caring and protecting love that you get from family. Her coat was so soft it made me think of puppies. We were hugging for a good few minutes, usually having a hug for that long would get awkward. Luna knew that it was comforting to me and it didn't bother her at all because I was her brother and she wanted me to know everything would be okay.

"You okay" she asked in the softest tone ever, her voice felt like nice soft velvet against your hand. or hoof in this case.

"Yeah I'll be fine."

I look over to see my sister Celestia crying. The tears were rolling off her face and falling onto the floor. I came up to her and held out my arms and she embraced me in a hug. "I am so happy to have you home with us."

Celestia I could tell wasn't sad she was crying out of joy, happiness. "I couldn't contain myself when you and Luna were hugging It brought back memories and that you are already embracing the situation in front of you."

"I am going to embrace it, but it will take me some time to get used to things."

"I know it will and we will be there every step of the way" Celestia saying this, I started to cry.

What she had said had activated primal instincts, no not primal instincts more like emotion. Emotion that surged through my body. My eyes were watery but I wasn't bawling. My tears were a mix of happy and sad. After all of that we were done sheding tears they led me down to the dinning hall. It was enormous and there was food all lined up of the length of the table. I was wondering what to eat and thought I could go for some bacon. When I had that thought it sounded disgusting, why would I eat meat. It came to me I was now a pony and equines don't usually eat meat. I now can't eat meat, wait I have eaten meat while I was a human does that make me a.... never mind just let it go. I had gotten an apple salad and some carrot soup. We had small idle chitchat while we ate. Then it was off to bed. My sisters had walked back with me to my room. As they dropped me off Celestia told me "There is a big suprise for you tomorrow."

"Oh great I can't "wait" to see what it is."

Celestia chuckled at my sarcasm and said "See you in the morning."

I walk into my room and get on the bed I immediately fall asleep. I woke up, it felt like I had only been asleep for a few minutes, but it was morning. "Oh your awake come on let's get you ready."

Celestia had just walked through the door. "I was going to come and wake you up but I see you are already are awake."

"Yep I'm up."

"Here after you clean yourself up put these on."

She brought some royal apparel of sorts. It was some armor boots, a chest piece, and helmet like hat sort of thing. "Do I really have to."

"Well when you are prince or princess you are supposed to wear royal attire."

"Okay, can at least not wear the helmet?"

"It will be alright for now, but when you start doing royal duties you will have to be presentable."

"I have to do royal duties?"

"Yes, you will start in two more days to help you get into the swing of things."

"Excuse me if I hold my enthusiasm."

Celestia chuckled and said "Just hurry up and I'll show you your suprise."

I had gotten into the shower. It was hard at first to turn the knobs with my hooves, I got the hang of it though. I had gotten cleaned up, got my royal armor on. I then joined my two sisters at breakfast. "So how does the armor fit" asked Luna.

"Oh it fits fine. To tell the truth it actually is kind of comfortable."

"So how was your sleep last night."

"It felt like I only slept for a few minutes, and then poof it's morning."

"Are you hungry" both of my sisters asked in unison.

"Famished."

Our breakfast was delicious we had some freshly baked chocolate croissants. The chocolate was gooey and sweet. Some bananas, Celestia really liked those a lot. We also had some other freshly picked fruit and ice cold milk. After we had our fill we started heading to where my big suprise is. We had walked all the way up a a big hill towards the back of the palace grounds. "So where is this big suprise any ways."

"Wait and you'll see" said Celestia.

Out of nowhere there is a loud roar in the sky. I freeze in my position and wait for the worst to happen. The ground shook beneath our hooves. I slowly look up from my cowering position and see a dragon. "Is this the suprise?"

"Yes it is say hello to your old friend Urlthrax" said Luna.

"How are you Eclipse it has been a long time since I have seen you."

"Hi there Urlthrax."

"Excuse me I forgot what had happened to you for which I am sorry, but we used to play together when we were young."

"I played with a dragon when I was younger."

Celestia responded "Yes you did, when mother and father were making relations with the dragons. Two dragons were sent to speak with mom and dad and they brought there son Urlthrax. From then on out you two were very good friends before we had to send you away on the account of the eclipse."

"So I had a friend who was dragon, boy does this make me think of Skyrim."

"What" Celestia, Luna, and Urlthrax all spoke in unison.

"Never mind."

Urlthrax brings conversation back up "It truthfully has been a long time since I have seen you Eclipse we are very older than what we both used to be."

"Yep, a little over three thousand years,"

"Yes well it has been very nice catching up with you, but I have to attend to some business."

"What is it Urlthrax" asked Celestia.

"Just dragons causing some trouble for the zebras I am going to put an end to it. Anyways I will visit later to catch up even more."

"Alright then, bye Urlthrax see you" Celestia yelled over Urlthrax's wings beating as he moved up into the air stirring up winds.

"Well, let's go back inside everypony." Luna spoke as she headed back down the palace.

All I could respond with was "Wow I have a friend who is a dragon."

We had walked back to the palace. There was still a whole day left basically, and Celestia thought that would be perfect for magic lessons. I had spent a few hours trying to successfully preform magic but too no avail. Celestia said I would not need to relearn all the magic I would just have to tap into my old memories and remember what I was capable of doing. I had finally gotten it. Celestia had also teached me a few new spells. Soon I was turning rocks into turtles, levitating books, teleporting across the room, and making doughnuts appear out of thin air. After my magic lessons I had to go over flight with Luna. Flying was not easy at all I had no idea what to do. Luna told me to let my wings do it naturally and then get use to the feeling. It took me a while to start flying than it did to learn magic. My flying still needed work, but I did pretty well.
We all had a late lunch do to my training. Celestia brought her pet phoenix Philomena to lunch. Philomena and I got along pretty well for just meeting her. I know that sounds strange but Philomena is a phoenix not your average ordinary bird. Luna brought her pet wolf Grey and both were playing fetch the entire time. They both were enjoying there pets all through lunch. "Have you ever had a companion of your own" asked by both Luna and Celestia.

"Not that I can think of."

Both of them smiled and Celestia said "Not anymore you will."

My sisters managed to sneak me into a pet shop with out anypony knowing about me. There were so many pets to choose from I couldn't pick just one. After looking at snakes, hamsters, fish, and dogs one animal caught my attention an eel. This eel was the coolest thing ever. It could live on land and in water and it could be on land for as long as it wants. The eel had a blue coloring to it with a red strip pattern on it. "I'll take this one."

Both of my sisters looked shocked. Celestia asked "Are you sure?"

"As sure as can be."

The first sight of that eel I knew it was going to be quite the character and it is. I didn't name him yet, because I wanted to see how he acts, so he can receive a proper name. It had only been one day before I named him. The night after we had gotten him, we were at dinner and the desert we had was jello. The server set mine in front of me and took off the lid of the tin tray. It revealed the eel inside of the jello staring at me. That's when I knew what his name would be, Jello. He did also make the server faint, but not really many good names to go from there. It had been another full day of training on magic and flying. Jello would watch me as I would cast spells and he even rode on my back while I was flying. Celestia came up to me before I was about to sleep and said "We can't let Jello ruin court tomorrow."

"Oh yeah that's right I have to go to that stupid court."

"Ponies already know that you are back so don't worry about crowds the guards will be there, until the craziness dies down."

"Thanks for the tip."

"Hey are you feeling okay" Celestia inquired with much worry in her voice. "You don't have to go to court if you don't want to."

"I'm fine and I'll go to court."

I went in to my bedroom and plopped onto my bed. I was lying, I wasn't okay. I was only acting like I was getting used to things quickly to make it easier on Luna and Celestia. I actually felt even weirder than when this all started. "No I will get used to this quickly if I can do it physically then I can do it mentally."

Then I looked over at Jello and levitated some glasses over to me. I then proceeded to do the cheesiest and dumbest thing since I arrived here. I looked at Jello and said "Looks like I'll be....." I then proceed to put on the glasses "seeing you in court" Imagining a YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH from C.S.I Miami.
