//------------------------------// // Ch 2 // Story: When a Door Closes a New One Opens // by coolpony01 //------------------------------// The meeting with my brother went swimmingly I meet him at his birthday party I found out he is a new member of the royal guard there were all his other brother’s and sister’s in arms with him. When he saw me he felt great joy “Twiley.” I recall him saying. I smiled goofing and feeling slightly awkward  “Have you missed me Shiny?” I said using the nickname they told me about to address my big brother.  He then galloped over and hugged me and I hugged him back “I thought I lost you. Where have you been.” He said emotionally.  “Don’t worry I’ve been well taken care of I was found by this wonderful couple and they’ve been rasing me.” I said.  “Found.” He said with suspicion.  “Trust me there’s no way they could have known.” I said knowing this was true. “Well how have you been sis.” He asked. “Well I was taken… somewhere else and I’ve made so many friends and family there but that didn’t mean I didn’t think about wherever I came from.” I said trying to give my brother solace that I did indeed think about whoever was my original family. “Well I’m glad you made many friend perhaps I can meet them someday.” He asked with joy in his tone. “I’m afraid that’s not possible I have no idea how to return where I’ve been all this time the princess said.”  He stopped me “You’ve met the princess.” He exclaimed. I then felt stupid knowing I shouldn’t have mentioned that. “Yes we had a talk she explained some things to me which I can not say it’s… confidential.” I said. Feeling guilty not being able to tell my brother about this. “So what was I like when we were together.” I asked curiously. That brought back that smile. “You were perfect you always called me Shiny you loved your books and “I love books.” I exclaimed brightly. He chuckled “I know that I was gonna say you always had a bit of a sweet tooth and well… you loved your baths.” He said. I chuckled “I’ve always loved baths. I used to take 7 hour bubble baths when I was little.” I said. He lightly chuckled “Know that doesn’t surprise me at all.” He said. We then enjoyed some cake together catching up saying how he and I were so close and how grandmother always admired our sibling bond. It all sounded so wholesome. I feel so bad about the fact that we were separated but I guilty don’t regret the outcome since I got wonderful parents out of it even if I never see them again. This day turned out to be great.
