Chapter 3

After about a week I became well acquainted with Twilight, Spike, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. I'm a little afraid of Fluttershy. She seems a little too interested in me. I haven't seen Pinkie Pie ever since that day that first day. I decided to visit her that Friday to see if she was okay. I've been helping Twilight out at the library. She really appreciates it, so does Spike. When I got to Pinkie's house I knocked on the door and no pony answered, so I left. I happened to look into her window and saw a picture of me. A picture of me with a whole bunch of darts stuck in it. Suddenly another one sprouted right in between the eyes of the picture. I ran away, fast.

Twilight and I often go out to lunch. We also get asked if we were a couple. Twilight would just say, "No, we are just friends." And almost every time I would see her blush. Every night, my bed seemed to get closer to Twilight's bed. I didn't mind.

By now I was getting letters from Celestia asking how I was doing, letters from AJ asking if I could help out around the farm, love notes and letters from Fluttershy, requests from Cheerily to come into the classroom and explain life on Earth (even though I have told her many times that I don't remember), invites to Canterlot, and a whole lot more. I even got a threat note from Shining Armor saying to stay away from his little sister. I usually ignored the letters. I wrote back to Celestia, helped AJ, and stayed clear of Fluttershy, though.

One day Twilight left early, before I even got up. Spike told me that she told him to tell me to meet her at the restaurant we usually get lunch at. So I left for the restaurant. When I got there, there were three Ponies there. Twilight, Rainbow Dash and one other that has never been in any of the episodes, so I didn't know who he was.

"Hey Twilight, and Rainbow Dash," I said, "Who’s this?"

"This Pegasus," replied Rainbow Dash "is Thunder Dash. He is my son. Well, more like adopted son, his real name is Morning Cloud."

Imeadiatly following her statement, a feeling of pain enveloped me, and an image flashed in my head, like a movie. There was a destroyed, mangled car with blood dripping out. I looked at a woman, she was crying.

"Morning!" she screamed, "Morning, my precious Morning! No!"

I pulled her back as a hand slowly stuck out. It was bloody, some bone was showing. I could barely see a bloody face in the wreckage. It showed extreme pain, but no cry came out. The arm went limp. I shielded the woman right as the car exploded. A piece of metal stabbed into my back. I couldn't move my legs. I realized, now that that woman was my mother, and that Morning was my brother.

When I came back from my memories, I looked at Morning and said, "Your dead."

"What do you mean, I'm dead I'm right here!" Morning said astonished.

I walked to him and hugged him and started to cry. He seemed to suddenly remember also, and hugged me back. He started to cry too. We broke the embrace and I said, "Brother. Morning. I missed you"

"I missed you too, big brother."

There was a couple of sobs from Twilight and Rainbow Dash, tears were streaming down Twilight's face. Rainbow Dash suddenly spoke up "He Just fell out of the sky, bloody and broken, three years ago. He was just a filly, so I took him in. Raised him like he was my own son. He started calling me Mom two years ago. I hope that it's okay."

"It's more than okay, Rainbow Dash," I said, "You took care of my little brother while I couldn't. He is your son, but he is and will be my brother."

When everything calmed down we somehow got into the topic of mine and Twilight's relationship.

"Your both the same age, your both geniuses, you share the same fricking room! Are you going steady at all?" asked Rainbow Dash.

I started to blush, and instead of the usual answer from Twilight, she said, "Yes, yes we are." and she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.

"Well," said Morning, "I've got to go meet my marefriend, Scootaloo. Bye, nice seeing you again brother" and with that he took off and flew away. The whole time I was replaying the moment Twilight kissed my cheek, completely missing another conversation. When I zoned back in I was alone with Twilight.

"So, are we really doing this?" I asked.

"Yep," replied Twilight.

"You want to go to a movie?" I asked awquardly

"Sure. Let's go."

So we went to a movie called "How to Lose a Stallion in 10 Days" it was a really good movie, and halfway through the movie Twilight kissed me, on the lips. After the movie we went on a walk through town and back to Twilight's house, although she insists that it is our house now. We walked into the room, and my bed was missing.

"I figured that since we are going steady, we wouldn't need another bed. And, no, we aren't doing anything sexual. Yet," she said mischievously.

So we kissed one more time before falling asleep. in the middle of the night I woke up to get something to drink. When I got back into the room, I heard sobbing from out the window. I looked out and saw there was nopony there. I was pretty sure it was Fluttershy. I had broken her heart.
