//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Celestia's Story // Story: A Big Brother // by xd77 //------------------------------// Nathan was resting his head on Celestia's chest, while she had her hooves wrapped around him, Luna was just sitting there with a pouty face. "I remember I was just a filly in magic kindergarten, I had just come home from school, only to find my Aunt Solar Beam sitting on the chair waiting for me." **FLASHBACK** "Aunt Solar, why are you here, where are mommy and daddy?" "Well sweetie, they've been at the hospital." "Why?" Solar Beam walked up and levitated Celestia to hold her. "Because, you're sister is going to be born later on tonight, so they left me to take care of you, while they're over there." I jumped up and down in excitement, but I was quickly stopped by Aunt Solor. "Wow Ms. Celestia were ya' really that excited?" Nathan asked "Well I was relieved when they came home that night." Celestia said "It had gotten cold out, but yet I was snapped by the sound of the doorbell ringing." **FLASHBACK CONTINUED** I was sitting with my aunt on the couch, when the sound of the door bell got her attention, aunt Solar Beam hopped off the couch and walked towards the door and opened it, and there stood my parents with a newborn filly in my mom's arms. "Where's our new big sister?" my dad asked They were soon giggling to the sound of me running up to see who my new sibling was, and I started to jump up and down. "LET ME SEE HER!!!!", I said still jumping up and down, my dad levitated me up close, and there she was a blue new baby alicorn, but then I quickly knew what I wanted to know what her name was. I asked, "What's her name?" "Say hi to your new sister, Princess Luna." My dad said, but almost half the evening I just sat there and smiled. "But what happened during the next few weeks she was there?" Nathan asked "Well let's just say, like you, things weren't exactly as fun as I thought either, that is until one afternoon, the weather team had just produced a severe thunderstorm over Equestria, my parents were heading out for royal duties that afternoon, and of course, I wasn't too happy about it." **LAST FLASHBACK** "But mommy!" I whined "No 'buts' young filly, your father and I have royal duties and we cannot find anypony to look after Luna yet, so until we can find somepony to look after her, you will be, starting now, are we clear?" she said to me "But, it's just that, ever since Luna came in you've never had time for me, it's all about her and work." I tried to say. "We'll have to talk about this later sweetie." they said to me before leaving the castle, leaving me all alone with Luna, I then looked out the windows and saw that it started to rain heavily, I walked back upstairs and entered my room, which I was forced to share with her." "Just like ah'm doin' with Skyla." Nathan said. "Anyway, I saw her there lying in her crib playing with some of my toys, she was staring at me giggling while I was giving an opposite expression." I said to her, "I would've loved a pet but what I get is not a phoenix but YOU!" Suddenly, I looked out the window and saw that the thunderstorm was pouring rain down even harder, the lightning flashed even harder, but I just ignored it and just went over to my make-up desk and pouted, just then I saw that the lightning outside was starting to make scary looking shadows, that's when I heard Luna crying in her crib. "Wow, was she cryin' cause she was scared?" Nathan asked "Yes" I heard her crying and then just pouted even harder trying to ignore her, my expression soon changed when I felt my heart lifting, soon after I couldn't bare to hear her crying anymore, so I walked over to her and gave her my teddy bear. I picked her up and sung her a lullaby. Nathan was now on the verge of light tears as he heard Celestia calmly singing the lullaby, maybe he should do this to Skyla. As soon as I finished singing it to her, there she was asleep in my hooves, I smiled and fell asleep with her on my bed. "Wow, Ms. Celestia, and ya'll grew close." Nathan asked. "That we did Nathan, Luna and I have..." She was soon cut off when she saw Luna still had the pouty face on her, Celestia cocked an eyebrow and smirked. "Wait here, Nathan." Celestia said walking up to Luna, as Nathan was just about to look away, he heard Luna laughing, Nathan looked back over and saw that Celestia had one hoof pinning her to the floor, while her other hoof was tickling her belly, Nathan smiled at this, Royal Sister Love. he thought. Soon Celestia and Luna had their attention turned back on Nathan. "So you see Nathan, after a while I got used to her, and look at us now, we do royal duties together, and we have learned to look after one another." Celestia said, "Having a sibling is a good blessing for a kid your age, if you give Skyla a chance I'm pretty sure that when you all are the captain and the princess of the Crystal Empire, you two will have something special for each other." Nathan ran up to her and hugged her, before too long he and Celestia were outside in the gardens walking, and as music started playing in the background. Celestia As you go through life you'll see, there is so much that we don't understand. And the only thing we know is things don't always go the way we planned. But you'll see everyday that will never turn away, when it seems all your dreams come undone. We will stand by your side filled with hope and filled with pride, we are more than we are, we are one. Nathan If there's so much I must be, can I still just be me, the way I am? Can I trust in my own heart, or am I just one part of some big plan? Celestia Even those who are gone are with us as we go on, your journey has only begun. Tears of pain, tears of joy, one thing nothing can destroy, is our pride deep inside we are one. We are one, you and I, we are like the earth and sky, one family under the sun. All the wisdom to lead, all the courage that you need, you will find when you see, we are one.

"Goodnight dear, my guards notified your parents that you're here, so tomorrow I will bring you back home." Nathan gave her a good night hug, but before asking her one other thing. "Will you give me a goodnight kiss?" he asked, Celestia giggled and kissed him on his forehead. "Sweet dreams, Nate." she said closing the door.
