Home is where True Peace and Love Is

Missing Old Friends (Updated)

It was almost Thanksgiving in Luke's homeworld, and he thought of how his family and friends will celebrate it without him on his world. It was rather a shame that Thanksgiving wasn't officially a holiday in Equestria, and the fact he won't be able to be there to celebrate it with his loved ones. Not to mention that he didn't really want to go back to his old home, for that if he did that, he would worry that he would never see Fluttershy, Twilight, Spike, Rainbow Dash, or any one of his good friends in Equestria ever again.

The human definitely did not want to take that risks. His wish about coming to Equestria was probably a one time chance of a lifetime. He might never go back to this beautiful world again if he took that risk was what he feared.

Nonetheless, Luke still talks with his friends and family on the phone everyday just to make them happy and feel better, and show them that he will never forget about them. Of course, thanks to maternal instincts, his mother might be the one who misses him the most out of everybody else he ever knew in his life. At least that it makes her happy that he talks to her to keep her better and happy.

Just then, while sitting on the couch in Fluttershy's living room, he got a phone call and looked at his Samsung Galaxy, and it revealed to be Louise, his mother. He answered it and he heard her voice. "Luke?"

"Yeah mom?"

"I hope I am not bothering you with anything, but I just want you to know how much we miss you back home." Said Louise. "I just wish you were back home with us where you belong."

Feeling a little guilty, Luke said "I know mom. But don't worry, I'm doing just fine, and I always call you on the line."

"I know, and I thank you for that." She replied warmly. "But still, I always miss you everyday."

"Same with you. Look mom, it's not that I don't want to see you again, I just think that this world is a much better place to live in. No worries, no problems, no stuff like global warming or terrorism."

"I know. Everyone here on earth wishes for world piece, Luke." Louise clarified. "But still, it's just not the same without you at home."

"Stay strong mom." Luke said. "You know that I love you, right?"

"I love you too." She replied, feeling touched by his comment. "I just wish that I can see you again right now, that's all. I am your mother."

"I feel the same way as you. My dad, my friends. My grandparents, everyone that I known and loved in my life." Luke said. "And another thing. I'm worried that if I get back into Earth, I might never see all my friends in Equestria again, as if it was nothing but a dream, nothing more."

"Oh Luke." Louise sighed. "When there's a will, there's a way. Remember you telling me and your dad about this.... god of chaos?"

"Discord? Of course I do. Why?"

"Why can't you just ask him for help?"

"Because he can't always be trusted, and if there is one thing he loves, it would be tricks, and besides, he came when the scientists on the mountain accidentally created a hole through time and space, that's how he came to Earth isn't the first place. I know it sounds very hard to believe, but you gotta believe me, mom."

She was rather silent for a moment, and it was so silent for a little while, that Luke could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the fresh air. Finally, after thirty long seconds, Louise said "I know you're my son, and I do believe you, but it's just that, what would your friends think, and I'm still a little conflicted about if you just ran away from me or not."

"Oh mom." Luke sighed, squeezing the top of his nose under his eyebrows in frustration. "I know you might not believe about the land that I'm in, but I am your son. And I never even ran away from home before in my life."

"Well I wouldn't say that." his mother remarked. "Remember when me and your dad got divorced when you were ten and you-"

"I don't want to talk about it!" Luke blurted. Some of the other animals quickly looked over at Luke for his little outburst. On the other line, Louise was just as shocked. Realizing what he had just said, he noted in a more calm voice. "Sorry, mom. It's just a very bad time for me. Besides, you swore you never brought it up again." And then Linus the lion and Tyson the Tiger went up to him to check up on him.

How could Luke possibly resist these gentle giant cats. He began rubbing their heads like house cats would get, and they both loved it so much. On the other line, Louise said "I'm sorry Luke, I know you hate to talk about it, but I was just trying to make an example. And please don't yell at me like that."

"I'm sorry."

"Its fine, but it was a bad time for me." Luke admitted sheepishly. "All the fighting and the crying and all. I just wish that life wasn't so unfair for me to witness you guys getting divorced when I was a kid."

"And I'm sorry." she replied with guilt. "But it wasn't your fault that we broke up, you know that."

"Yes."

"Luke?" called a voice. It was none other than sweet, sweet Fluttershy's soft and gentle voice. She was coming downstairs, probably hearing that little shout that Luke just emitted. "Is everything okay down here?" then she noticed the two big cats sitting next to him.

"Hold on, Fluttershy." Luke said with his first finger up. "Just talking to my mom. Anyway, I just wish I can spend Thanksgiving with you, my dad, my grandparents, and everyone I ever love in my family. I'm just so sorry I can't be there to celebrate it with you."

"It's okay." his mother sighed. "At least it's good to hear your voice again."

"I know. Bye mom, I love you."

"I love you too, Luke, bye." then the human hung up and made another sigh. "Sorry about that, Fluttershy."

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing much." Luke said. "Thanksgiving, the other Earth holiday I told you about is just around the corner. Of course, I won't be there to celebrate it with my friends and family. Just a shame, really. It's a family tradition for the Smith family to celebrate Thanksgiving on the day it commences. Since There is still not a way for me to come back home, I can't celebrate it with them."

"Oh Luke. I'm so sorry." said Fluttershy sympathetically, gently placing a hoof on his shoulder. "I know how much you miss them and how much they miss you back home. I just wish there was some thing I can do to help you."

"It's okay Fluttershy. You don't have to do anything for me." Luke said. "Look, I just need to be alone for a little while. If you need me, i'll be upstairs in my room, okay?"

"Okay."

Then the lone human went upstairs to his room, and Fluttershy watched on as he dissapeared into the corridor. She could clearly tell Luke was feeling a little sad about this, and really wished that she could help cheer him up, but she knows that she couldn't go to his homeworld so she can bring his parents, friends, and other family members here for a visit to Equestria, and she knows how much Luke loves Equestria more than just his homeworld, and probably doesn't want to go back home.

She honestly didn't know what to do about this, and was thinking of how he can make him more happy and see that handsome smile on his face again. Deciding that it will take than just more than her, she suddenly had an idea. "I got it." she said. "Luke will love the idea, and he can even see his family again, and my friends can help too. Luke?" she called out to him

"Yeah?"

"I'm just going to have a talk with my friends. Don't worry, I'll be back in a little while, alright?"

"Gotcha!"

Then the yellow pegasus promptly went out of her cottage and then brought her friends to Sweet Apple Acres for a meeting. Lyra, Bon Bon, Cloudchaser, Flitter, Thunderlane, Rumble, and Pipsqueak were there too. The specific place was at the big barn. She began explaining the situation that Luke was having.

"So, Luke was talking with his mom on the phone, and he misses her and his family and friends more than ever, and he seems sad that he can't celebrate this Thanksgiving holiday with them, he said it's a family tradition for him."

"Ah, poor Luke." said Thunderlane. "He must be going through a hard time a little."

"Uh huh. He kinda reminds me of when I decided to live with you in Ponyville and saying goodbye to mom and dad, big brother." Rumble said.

"Yeah, but your parents live in the same world as we do, while Luke is alone in this one." Twilight said. "I just wish that there was something we can do to help him."

"Yeah, nothing is worth more than family." Applejack said

"That's why I called you here. I have an idea on how to fix this." Fluttershy said. "But first, we'll need one of my other friends to help out. Discord?"

Then out of nowhere, the master of chaos appeared in a workout outfit while watching exercise videos on a floating TV. Realizing what just happened, he poofed himself back to his naked self. "Ah Fluttershy, how can I help you my dear?" he said while still levitating.

"Discord, I want you to go into Luke's world again and look at the Thanksgiving holiday and see what kind of food and celebration it is." Fluttershy said

"What for?"

"Luke's starting to miss his old home, friends and family, and Fluttershy here says she has a way to make this better." Rainbow clarified.

"That's horrible!" he mocked gasped. "Anywho, do not worry, I will get right to it."

"So what exactly is your plan, Fluttershy?" the baby dragon asked with a raised eyebrow

"Well Spike, you see," then they huddled together to hear her plan, and they all liked it. Whatever she was planning, it sounded like a brilliant idea.
