"Hey Gold?! We got anymore beer?" Kyle asked his older brother who was watching TV. "You don't need that shit, you're only twenty." Gold replied plain as day. "Bullshit!" Kyle yelled as he sat on the couch near Gold. "What's the big deal? It's not like you're gonna get in trouble. I'll get in trouble." "Actually, I'll get arrested for giving alcohol to an underaged colt, and then I'll get put on the fucking newspaper, telling everypony that I gave beer to my little brother!" Gold yelled angrily at Kyle. "Alright, Christ!" Kyle grumbled. "By the way, why do you want to drink at this time? It's 8 in the mor-." Gold's sentence was cut short when they heard a knock at he door. They walked up to the door, and saw a tall mare wearing a suit with a little colt standing next to her.
"Hello gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you so early, but I am from Child Services and I have this colt with me and a note from his parents. They were deemed unfit to take care of this child. The parents gave me this address, telling me that you two were his brothers. Is that true that you two are his siblings." The tall mare asked. "Uh...will you excuse us for one moment?" Gold said as he closed the door for a second. "SHIT!" Gold yelled with a whisper to Kyle. "Did you know about this?" "No, I haven't seen mom and dad for two years! You saw mom two weeks ago!" "Yeah, but she never mentioned a fucking colt!" "How can we be sure if this really is our brother? Although, he does look kind of like mom." "Yeah but mom was a unicorn and dad was an earth pony! So why the fuck does he have wings? No one in mom or dad's family had a pegasus in their family trees!" "Let's just ask him a few questions and find out if he knows who we are." "That's...actually a pretty good idea!" Gold complimented on Kyle's idea. Gold opened the door. "Why, yes, this is our brother. Is there any paperwork that we need to fill out?" Gold asked. The mare handed him some papers. Kyle took the dirty looking colt inside while Gold filled out the paperwork.
As Gold finished the papers, he handed them to her and they both said thanks and she went on her way. She handed him the note before she left. Gold closed the door and began reading the note aloud as the mysterious alicorn sat on the bar stool in their kitchen and began spinning around on it. The note read,
Dear Gold, I know this is all very confusing, and you might be furious at me, but please, take care of Tommy. I know you're wondering why he is an alicorn. I slept with another pegasus, and your father found out and left me. I raised him in a bad neighborhood, and he might be troublesome, but please, he's been through a lot and he needs his big brother's guidance. I bet you're wondering where's the pegasus and where am I. He was flying home one day, and he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and crashed into a tree and broke his neck. He never knew about my drug problem and now I'm in rehab, thus deeming me an unfit mother. I tried giving him to your father, but he wouldn't take him. So now I rely on you to take care of him. I know you've got your hooves full already taking care of Kyle, but please, just take care of him for two months while I'm in rehab.
Sincerely, Magenta
"Oh shit." Gold said to himself. "I guess he is our brother. So Tommy, how old are you?" Gold asked. "Nine." He replied as he continued spinning on the chair. "That means he's Applebloom's age. So that means he can go to school." Gold said. "Aaawwwww." Tommy moaned. "You don't have to start tomorrow, I'm just saying." Gold stated. "So Tommy, what was it like living in Manehattan?" Kyle asked. "It was okay I guess. I was in a gang and we beat ponies up. And we made fun of something called a Cutsie Marx Cashier or something like that." "Wait...did you happen to know somepony named Babs Seed?" Gold asked nervously. "That little bitch? Yeah, I beat her up one time. I nearly put her mouth on the curb when she didn't give me her money." "Oh...well...there are three Cutie Mark Crusaders here in Ponyville." "Aww sweet!" Tommy yelled. "But you can't hurt them though. They're our friends." Kyle scolded. "You're not my parents!" Tommy yelled as he ran out of the room. "Well that escalated quickly." Gold said. "Well, at least we know where he got his attitude from." Kyle said jokingly. Gold chuckled a bit.
When Kyle went out to the back porch, he saw Tommy sitting at the steps. "Look, I know you guys hate me and don't want me here. That's why I'm Leaving." Tommy said. "Leaving?! But why? We don't hate you. Who gave you such an idea?" Kyle demanded an answer. "Mom told me that you guys were rich and successful. I thought I'd be intruding in your lives if I came here." Tommy replied sadly. "WHAT?! No! You'd never be intruding in our lives. We've actually been longing for someone new at the house. If anything, you'd be helping us out." Kyle exclaimed. "Look, why don't we all stay home from work and school tomorrow, and go somewhere nice to eat? I have great connections in Canterlot. The food their is amazing." "That sounds nice." Tommy said as he lay his head on Kyle's shoulder and Kyle lay his head on Tommy's head as they watched the sunset.
