The small family embraced each other the pinkie cooed. She hasn't seen been this happy since sugercube corner released the mango and carrot smoothies. Rainbow couldn't help but smile before turning when she heard leaves rustling. Out stepped applejack rairty and fluttershy who all looked concerned.

"What in tarnation is going on! We just heard ponies yell about how pinkie and ben ran out of town in a panic!" The mares then spotted the group of ponies embracing.

"Whos that mare hugging our darling Benjamin!" He gave gwen a sinkeye as fluttershy quietly epped. Her cute noise what finally drew bens attention.

"Girls! This is my family their here! My cosin gwen my grandpa and my best freind kevin. Oh and these are the girls ive been hanging with. The pink excited one is my favorite party mare pinkie pie."

"Its so good to meet you! Me an bed talk all the time about you guys!" She bounced in place happily.

"The rainbow hair one is the fastest mare in Equestia rainbow dash."

"Sup nice to meet you guys we've been keeping ben out of trouble." Applejack scoffed at rainbow rolling her eyes.

"My freind applejack she the most honest of the bunch! Wouldn't have any other way."

Applejack tilted her hat. "Pleasure to meet yall. If yall are family to ben yer freinds to me."

Ben walked closer to the girls.
"Of course I cant forget the ever generous rairty." He did a silly bow for her making rairty give out a unlady like snort. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha oh my darling please stop! Your embarrassing yourself!" She barely held it together giving the Tennysons a wave.

"This here is fluttershy. Shes really nice but shes a bit shy."

Fluttershy continued hiding behind them saying a barely audible. "Hi"

Grampa max looked at the group of mares with a smirk. He saw how comfortable ben looked with them. That classic Tennyson charms still working its magic.

"Pleasure to meet you girls well your all in time for lunch! Who wants to try some good ol meal work stew!" Grampa ask with a smile as everyone gagged.

"We allready ate lunch Grampa but Im sure gwen an kevin are famished." The two gave Ben a death glare as Grampa started a small campfire to cook. The girls all breathed easier. They heard of bens horror storys about the meals from that road trip.

"So kiddo were you've been living? We got lucky when we woke up with the rust bucket."
Ben looked at the old R.V a smile plastered on his face. Good times.

"Im staying with my friend twilight. Shes pretty cool I'm sure she would love to meet you guys. Probably a full on interveiw!"

Grampa max an gwen froze when he said her name the two shared a look. Ben eyebrow raised. "Oh have you allready heard of her? I guess she is kinda famous being a princess."

Max coughed into his arm. "Uh yeah hey gwen can you watch the stew. I uh would like to meet this twilight." Gwen said nothing and started stirring. Ben just shrugged.
"Sure follow me Grampa!"

At the castle
Twilight frantically paced back an forth. She had just just gotten a letter from celestia saying be was on her way. Now here she was. Frantically pacing back an forth. All ready except for the fact that Ben apparently went crazy an ran off. Now all of her freinds were missing.

The worst part is that she cant stop thinking about him. Even with the dreams gone that idiot was living rent free in her head. His smell,his laugh,even the way he eats chilii fries! "What is wrong with me! We barely know each other! Why is this dork all I can think of! Fuck!"

She whined to herself before the sound of the door caught her attention. Their he was was. Her whines quickly turned into excitement as she ran up to him hugging him.
"Uh ok hi twi! Whats - ouch!" Twilight then slapped him. Hard. He rubbed his cheek confused.

"What the buck happened! You ran off! Now celestia is on her way wh- whos that." She now saw a older stallion looking at her. His eyes wide open as if had just seen a ghost.

"This is my grandpa Max! He gwen and kevin someone ended up in equestia. Uh hey grandpa are you ok?"

Max slowly approached her. His face full of shock. He stumbled over his word unsure of what to say. "But how-why its impossible but how? I saw you d-"

"Max its been a long time old friend. " out of thin air celestia appeared. Along side her luna who looked uncomfortable. Maxs face turned from shock to anger.

"You hearless skank! What did you do to them!" He stomped angrily toward the princess. Twilight ,Ben,luna ,and the main 6 who were watching in secret from the door way all gasped. The girls gasped because no one in a thousand year as ever called celestia a skank. Ben gasped because his grandfather just called a woman a skank. Something he would never do. Well normally.

"How dare you speek to my sister that way!" Luna yell in response. She started walking towards max. Celestia extended a wing to block her. "Let him speak luna. This needed to be said for a long time."

Max stared into celestias eyes. His anger building up. "I want you to say it! It been 10 years celestia! Say what me an gwen allready know."

Celestia closed her eyes. Tears ran down her face. "Celestia what is he talking about? Dose this have to do with me an Ben." Twilight shook in place as ben walked over. As if instinct he wrapped the alicorn in his hooves.

Celestias eyes widen seeing him embrace her. Her guilt eating away at her."I-I casted a spell on you twilight. A memory stealer." Twilight eyes watered as ben looked at the mare confused.

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?"

The mare in his arms breathed slowly trying to calm herself. "A forbidden spell."

"It a spell that removes memories. But not just any ordinary memory. A special one. The kind ponies retain in their very souls. Its very dangerous and I was very foolish. I didn't realize the risk untill it was to late. But to truly explain i need to give you back what you lost."

Her horn glowed as two small orbs floated in front of them. One each. "Sport before you do this....everything I do is to protect you."
Ben looked to max who looked guilty as well.

"I know Grampa. Twi you ok?" The mare look at the orb and nodded. "Yeah. I think we need this this."

Both grabbed the org as the memories flow all way back. Back ten years ago. When filly was saved by a boy. Then a ghost tried to kill them both.
