Chapter 2: Neptune's Mistake-Galaga Family

A few months ago our neighbors the Mash-Belle's have a newborn child his name is 8-Bit our son has become more distant from us... I don't know why... I sit on the couch and watch TV enjoying some apple cider.

"And in other news..." Well my Cousin Elijah is doing good...I wonder has he asked Nightlight to marry him...The door swings open and I see the police...Neptune what did you do now? I look at the picture next to the TV it was him younger on my back...

(Flashback)

"Faster daddy! Faster!" Neptune said laughing.

"Okay!" I run faster I look back to see he's missing

"Neptune? Neptune?!" I run to Mars "Have you seen Neptune!"

"N-Oh my Celestia!" I turn around to see a pony force feed my son a white powder.

"No!" I run over and Ram into him he goes flying and hits a tree he was knocked out cold I looked at my son he's bleeding and not moving then his eyes and starts to spazzing out "Someone call the Paramedics!"

(End of Flashback)

"What's the Problem officers?" I asked I looked at my pregnant wife.

"Your son is under arrest..." He said now I was worried what did he do!? Mars clenched her teeth.

"What happened officer?" I knew something was up when he wasn't talking to us...

"He killed Diamond Tiara...she was on her way to apologize to a friend... And he tried to rob her and stabbed her..." No...no! Those stupid friends of his actually got him to rob and kill someone! He got Neptune and cuffed him.

"I'm sorry dad..." I look away how can I look at my son now he killed an innocent pony...somepony that had a family, a life, a soul... "Dad can you forgive me!?" A tear goes down my face.

"I don't know...I just don't know..." I can't believe he killed somepony... I thought I raised him right...

"Brother!" Said Saturn running to him "Why why? Do you have to go?"

"Because...I did something terrible and I need to be punished..." She started to cry.

"I love you so much brother..." She hugged him and went to Mars...they took him away...Saturn cried in Mars' arms

"It's okay...It's okay..."

(Few Weeks Later-Saturn's POV)

I was in a black dress and shoes and we were ready for Diamond Tiara's Funeral...We walked past the body I couldn't help but cry "I'm sorry...it's all my fault if I didn't show him those friends of his they both would be here" I whisper ponies came up to talk first Silver, then Scootaloo, then Applebloom and finally Dinky.

"I met Diamond in Elementary school and she was probably the worst person in my mind...but there was always something good in her it just took awhile for her to realize it...I want to say that I forgive you and we all forgive you for everything...may your soul rest in peace..." Halfway through it she started to cry some of us cried with her some looked down in shame for what they did to her...Prokun and Elijah came up to the mic and sang

"Amazing grace how sweet the sound..." We all joined in and sang along it was beautiful...After we buried her we all went to the reading of the will I got some bit as did the other children...Silver got a new house, Dinky and Prokun a lot of money about two million bits, My family got her Cleaning Business, and Elijah got the most six million to help him get on his feet...he didn't have a home his Parents abandoned him when he was young he lived by himself... With nopony else. We left and went on with our days but me I wanted to visit my brother at jail.

"Hi..." He comes out with a black eye and bleeding from his ear

"What do you want?" He said I didn't like his new hostility towards me.

"I came to see you...my brother..."

"Well leave your brother is gone...he died in the prison!" I get up and leave "Luna know where he is!" He laughed sinisterly.

"Why?" I whisper he's gone.
