"You can all see how my eyes are right?" Kelly asked pointing to her eyes. Everyone nodded in confusion. "Well, they didn't have the black pupils like most eyes do," she explained with a sigh. Nyx was first to catch on to what she was saying.
"Wait, so you're telling us that you were once...?" Nyx asked before being cut off.
"Blind? Yeah," Kelly replied before gaining a lot of gasps. "And it was sometime after my mommy passed away that I was taken to go and live in an orphanage. The caretakers there were kind to me, giving me braille books and my violin." Kelly said before looking at her instrument. Melody then kindly spoke up.
"Your caretakers sounded like really nice people, unlike the ones from my orphanage," Melody commented with Conner nodding in agreement.
"Wait, so you and Conner were orphans too?" Kelly asked Melody shocked. They sadly nodded.
"I was too, before mommy came and rescued me," Crystal said smiling at her mother, who smiled back.
"Same here," Nathan said with a sad smile.
"Whoa, anyway, the kids at the orphanage weren't the nicest of kids, they always moved furniture around, so when a walked, I would bump into them or hit my head," Kelly explained. "But then one day, I was somehow transported here to Equestria, in the marketplace. I didn't know where I was back then, and I could faintly hear whispers, but even with my excellent hearing, I couldn't make out what they were saying. I then heard Applejack calling out for help, since she didn't know what I was. I walked over to where her voice came from, and then I heard her gallop off. I thought at the time she was scared of me. I then picked up what felt like an apple. When I was about to take a bite out of it, I heard something land near me, and told me that I needed to pay for the apple before I could eat it. I then gave her the apple and said she could put it back. She introduced her self as Rainbow Dash, which I thought was goofy name for a boy, but then she said she was a mare. Then I realized I was in a magic kingdom filled with magic talking ponies, and you can guess how thrilled I was. I then asked if I could touch her face, since that was how I could tell what she looked like. After she said I could, I soon realized she was right, and gave a warm hug." Kelly continued before Trinity raised her hoof.
"Ok, so how did you meet my mom and get your sight back?" she asked curiously.
"Well, as for meeting mommy, Rainbow Dash took me to go and see Twilight, who I can now see isn't a unicorn anymore," Kelly replied looking at her mother. "And as for my sight, that happened after I met mommy and the rest of her friends, had one Pinkie's parties, and met Princess Celestia. She invited me to come with mommy to the Lunar festival, a celebration of a lunar eclipse, which also power a gem stone called the Lunar Crystal, it's a gem that give unicorns a short yet powerful burst of magic energy. And it was also to help Princess Luna get back all her lost power. Mommy used this burst of magic to help give me sight. I was overjoyed to be able to finally see things, including my mommy and her friends. I then hugged mommy, and cried with joy, long and hard. She then took me to see Princess Celestia about something, and when I heard the reason, I was flooded with even more happiness! Mommy wanted to adopt me. I was so happy, I didn't know what to say, except yes. And after Mommy signed the adoption forms, I then hugged my new mommy again, and cried even more with happiness. And since then, I have had nothing but happiness." Kelly finished her story, smiling at her mother.
"Whoa, that story had a bit of harshness in it, but overall, in the end, it was a nice ending," Charity said giving Kelly a sad smile.
"Yeah, but now it's your turn Crystal," Kelly said turning to the girl sitting next to her. Crystal then took a deep breath and explained her story.
"It all started a normal day for me back on Earth, trying to survive in a city with hardly any food, and no shelter," Crystal explained before she saw Cory's hand go up.
"How is that normal?" he asked with horror in his voice.
"Well, it was normal for me, since I never had a mommy or a daddy. One day as I was sulking, I looked up to see mommy looking concerned for me. A first I had no idea if she was nice or not, so I was scared of her. But she reassured me, and asked how I got there, and tried to tell her. but I couldn't bring myself to do it. She then asked how I survived without food or shelter, and I said people felt sorry for me and gave me some food, but they didn't feel sorry enough to give me a home. Mommy then told me that she felt sorry enough, and took me to Canterlot Castle to meet Princess Celestia. We were going in, but a couple of guards stopped us, and asked Mommy to send me back, but she a little 'persuasive' and the guards let us go in. When we got to the throne room, Mommy explained to Princess Celestia of how terrible conditions I was in, and asked for her approval to let me stay here. Then, after some thought, Princess Celestia allowed me to stay with mommy. After meeting the princess, mommy and I headed back home, and snuggled into bed. The next day, mommy took me to meet her friends. And Pinkie threw me a party to welcome me to Equestria. And after sometime, she had me going to school, to meet other kids my age. There, I also encountered Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who weren't the nicest to me on my first day. On another day, after I came home from school, I found a book that taught how to allow creatures, other than alicorns and unicorns, how to use magic. I asked mommy to teach me magic, and with slight hesitance, she agreed and showed me how I can do magic. So, Josh isn't the only human here who can do magic," Crystal said looking at Josh, who had a surprised look on his face.
"Well, you two aren't the only humans in this room who can do magic," Drake said trying to start up a new topic. This made everyone curious. Then, Nathan flew over to Drake with a curious look in his eyes.
"Are ya sayin' you can do magic too?" he asked flapping his bat wings.
"Yeah, but if I can ask, how do you have wings, and why are they not regular pony wings?" Drake asked with the others nodding in agreement.
"Well, how about we tell our stories next?" Nathan asked.
"Of course, but I think it would make more sense if I told Drakes story, if it's ok with you sweetie?" Luna asked her son.
"Ok mommy!" Drake gave his approval. "But lets have Nathan tell his story first, if it's ok with him?" Drake asked looking at the bat winged boy.
"Very well," Nathan said before telling his story.
