For the hive, my mom and myself

Blue diagnosis

"So how is he doctor?"

"Well, I'm not sure what to tell you princess" The doctor tells her while looking at Blueblood throw a mirror talking with Luna on the garden "Its clear he is suffering amnesia but this one is a bit peculiar" He look back at his chart and flip throw some pages on it. "He doesn't remember Nightmare Moon, or the introduction of princess Luna, but he does remember his name and most of his life, as well as Discord, Tirek and the changeling attack. The only difference is that according to him instead of running in fear or hiding behind plant plots or guards, this new persona of his seem to have done what he could to put the citizens of Canterlot safe or try to keep their spirit ups. My diagnosis is that the hit on the head must had shaken his personality and morph it into this new prince"

"I see, and is there a way to reverse it?"

The doctor look at the princess confused before putting the chart down "Well there are therapies that could aid him in restoring his memory but those are in cases of memory lost, witch the prince doesn't suffer, he does remember everything he still is the stallion you and me know, and he is not in any sort of danger, the only thing that has change, is his personality and a gap on his mind, and that kind of condition can't not be reverse."

"I…see" Celestia look down in sadness confusing the doctor

"Princess if I may ask, why are you so sad? This turn of events should be consider a blessing in disguise. For years the prince has being tormenting the lives of all around him, in his air of superiority, and narcism. It has reach the point that even rumour of his assassination appear in each of his birthday. And now just look at him" The doctor point at the prince who is currently making Luna laugh while they enjoy a cup of tea.

"This Caeruleo as he calls himself is virtually the opposite, he is kind, modest, nice with others and even brave, he is the nephew you have always deserve and wish princess. The prince is finally the nice stallion you wanted him to be"

"But it didn't become one by choose" Celestia say looking at the window with the same expression "My nephew might had not be perfect but he was still the family I hold in my arms and watch him grow since birth, and now this new stallion takes his place and just expect me to accept that the nephew I knew is forever long? How can I be happy about this development when I fell like my nephew just die in front of me?"

The doctor look at her in pity and put his hand over her shoulder "Princess I don't know how you must be feeling but saying those things would only make you and your family feel bad. I understand that you feel bad that the change came because of a hit, but never the least it arrive. Right now your nephew is vulnerable and scare. More than ever does he need of his family for guidance" He smile and look at her in the eyes "My medical advice is for you to be with him and talk. Trust me princess, he is still the same boy you raise and saw grow. Please give Caeruleo a chance, give yourself a chance to be a better and happy family"

Celestia sniff and clear her eyes before nodding "Y…you are right doctor, it will be bad from me to just push my family away now. Caeruleo needs me just as I need him right now" She stand up and give the doctor a small bow "Thanks for your help doctor"

"It was my pleasure your highness" He say guiding her to the entrance, where she exit and leave the doctor office


"So you see, after my sister manage to rescue me from the moon, her student along side the other elements were force to battle the evil Nightmare Moon one last time to put an end to her and stop her plans from conquering Equestria once and for all" Luna say with a smile enjoying the expression of his nephew, throw all her story.

He looks like a colt discovering Heart Warming Eve for the first time

"And where did Nightmare Moon went? Was she capture?"

"Oh no dear nephew, she is long gone, and will never come back"

"Did they…kill her" He say with somewhat sad.

"That would imply she was alive in the first place, remember she wasn't even real in the first place, only a manifestation of a nightmare that I have"

"Still, even if she did all that too you, I feel a bit bad for her, I hope that at least she didn't suffer"

Luna smile and put her hand on his "I assure you Caeruleo, it was painless"

"How do you know?"

"Lets just say that I have a certain way of knowing" Luna give him a small wink before noticing Celestia approaching witch make her stand up "Please excuse us for a moment Caeruleo we will right back"

"But the lady with the pastries is coming" He say pointing at a maid carrying a desert cart with all sort of pastries on it. "What do I tell her?"

"Just order for us, anything will suffice"

"Are you sure?"

"We're sure, like my sister I thou enjoy of sweets so anything will really be ok"

"Well ok, if that is what you wish"

Luna nods and excuse herself before heading to Celestia. "So? how did it went?"

Her sister sigh and then pull her away so they can talk in private "The doctor say that his condition is not amnesia and rather a change of personality, and that it irreversible, Caeruleo is here to stay"

"Really? That is great news sister, it means that our dear nephew has just achieved the potential we knew he was capable of being"

"Did he sister?" Luna look at her sister confused "Yes he is better, and sweeter and maybe I'm happy for this development but to just be handing this change of face from him out of the blue…I don't know, its kind of feel like its cheating, I will be jumping from happiness if it happen naturally but instead…I don't know maybe I'm just thinking to much about it"

"Dear sister, I understand what you are coming from but if there something we have learn from eternity is that life is neither fair or predictable, fate is an illusion and things happen just because they happen" She say with seriousness before looking at Blueblood inviting the mare to sit next to him and even sharing some of his own desert to her, making the poor maid feels a bit uncomfortable and not knowing what to do.
"And now something beautiful just has happen to us, a rare chance for us to be happy together raising a generation correctly, a chance for me to be part of family a new"

Celestia chuckle a shake her head "Yeah, the doctor told me the same, maybe I'm just having a hard time believing that good things just happen and…" Celestia stop on her tracks and look at Luna with some suspicious "Pray tell me dear sister, you are not accepting this opportunity to prove that you would do a better job in raising our nephew, are you?"

"Dear sister" Luna say in fake shock "I would never do light to such a serious matter, no matter how true they are"

"Oh stop with the gloating Lulu, we both know that the moment he ask for a bit, you would give him half of the royal treasure"

"I would not!" Luna say in defence.

"Yes you would"

"Do not"

"Yes you would, you were always the sensible of the two, even when we were fillies, you were always bring entire families of animals into your room because you say and I quote 'I don't want to separate families, so I will adopt all of you"

"Like you are the one to talk, do not believed that I didn't notices when you sneak out of the house to have 'sleep overs' will all your animal friends"

They both stare at each others before laughing "Its has being so long since we bicker like this" Celestia finally manage to say.

"Indeed, its so refreshing being able to forget titles and duties and just have a chance for us to be us" Luna mention before smiling at Blueblood who wave goodbye to the maid that was serving him, while she does the same. "And think we can thank all of that to our dear nephew" She then look at Celestia "So what do you say Tia, are you willing to give this family a chance to start again?"

"Yeah, lets all be a family" Celestia nod with a smile before looking at her sister "Someone needs to save him from your spoiling"

Luna quickly glare at Celestia and they start to bicker again while Caeruleo look at them with a smile.

They are just like any pair of siblings

Touching is it?

Kabuto turn back to his real form from the scare and turning around he sees a mare that looks exactly like Twilight Sparkle but made complete out of crystals, longer hair and having six wings instead of two Greetings Kabuto

Who…who are you? I say noticing that everything around us has just turn grey and seem to just stop. Exactly like when I was originally rescue.

The creature only chuckle and look at me on amusement So soon you have forgotten about us? We have being talking with you since your arrival in the castle of the two sisters

"You…you are that voice? you are the reason my body is giving up on me"

Far from it, in fact I'm being doing the exact opposite she say as her body suddenly shape shift to looks like AJ with a horn and wings Your welcome by the way

I just look at her unamused until she sigh and turn into Pinkie You should learn to get loosed more, yes we are that voice and in a way kind of your guardian angel

"Why are you tormenting me? what do you want?"

We already told you, the elements have accepted you and want to save you from what the changelings are trying to make you become

I just stay quiet and then look to the side Ah I see that you have started to realised at well

"Don't get cocky, it will take more than words from a rock to make me turn againt my family…But I have seeing something…unusual on my sister"

The mare turn into Rarity Do tell

"They have started to act weird, like more cold and even a bit more aggressive toward me. I though that they were just tired or scare but now I start to think that there is something else"

You don't say?

I quickly glare at her again "Don't claim victory yet creature" Kabuto turns into Blueblood again "I will not betray my family, even if my sisters turn irrational, my confrontation will only be with them and not my mother"

Very wise She say turning into Dash and start to walk toward the princesses It will just be stupid to blame the entire hive just for the acts of two changelings right?

She then turn to Fluttershy and pass her hand on Celestia check But I wonder, between the two, who is the real family?

"What are you talking about?"

She smile and wink at him Something tells me that you already know, its only a matter of time and listening to your heart She wave at him and banish as time start to resume again Bye bye for now, don't be afraid to ask for me if you need more help in the future, you have done an excellent first step

That is the last thing the creature before everything return to normal and the princess sit next to me.

"Sorry for that Caeruleo, my sister and I needed to discuss something" Luna say with a smile and I quickly return to the act.

"Its ok I understand I even order something for auntie Celestia too" I say passing a cake to her witch earn a small surprise from her part.

"Banana spit cake pie?" She looks at me in confusion "How did you knew that this was my favourite?"

"I didn't, I just guest it" I say with a smile while internally start to question myself

I did knew it, for some reason I just knew it…how did I knew that?

"Oh! Bluemoon pie with caramel ice-cream, you also got my favourite correct!" Luna say with happiness "Dear nephew you are one magnificent guesser"

"Je thanks"

Ok this creepy, how did I got those two right in the first try?
