Star's POV

Three days has passed by very quickly with not much if hardly anything major happening, but my and Arcana's relationship has blossomed very well, going out here and there. Princess Celestia was kind enough to help us get a home of our own in Ponyville after the wedding in Canterlot, for getting rid of Nightmare, but Aceiro decided the stay in Canterlot with Fe and try to see if he can find a job for his dad, so Arcana and I moved our stuff from Twilight's home to here and we were staying at the house together.

I wonder where my and Arcana's parents are? I asked myself as I walked downstairs and into our slightly unfurnished living room this morning, I guess we need to stop at Quills and Sofas to get some… well sofas, I wonder if they also sell other furniture.

The house we received from Celestia is a two story building, with a couple of rooms and bathroom on the second floor and I slept in one, while Arcana slept in another. The ground having a kitchen and dining area, which leads into the living room I am in, with a hallway dividing the rooms and leading towards the front door on side and a guest room with a bathroom down the other, oi, oi, oi, there's so much still to do around here, we need to stock up the kitchen, need new furniture, because those bed just won't cut it, I listed when in reality our beds are actually cots that we found in a cupboard beneath the stairs, dang, Arcana and I have a lot of things to do around here.

And then I hear knocking coming from the front door, knocking me out of my thinking corner. Who could be here at this time? I thought as I made my way to the door, but as I made it to the door and was about to opened it, a thought came to my head, I hope it is not those pesky reporters. The knocking on the door resumed, compelling me to resume opening the door.

When I opened the door, I was relieved to find what looks like two groups of families instead of reporters, the first group of family, appeared to be all pegasi. The father slightly taller than me, has a white coat, and a blue mane and tail, wearing a saddlebag, while the mother has a light pink coat with a silver mane and tail, a little smaller then the father, and holding a sleeping foul that looks like about year old in a carrier on her side.

The other group is comprised of unicorns. The father is just as tall as the pegasus dad of the other family, with his coat colored a dark gray like those of a unicorn guard, his mane and tail colored blonde and seems to have a judgmental look in his eyes. The mother's coat is a light brown coloring and has a bright yellow mane and tail, with looking all worriedly at me and appeared to be restraining herself on something. Then the last pony of the unicorn family must be their son, he is a little shorter than his dad, but more slightly taller than his mom, with a grey coat when his mane and tail are in a dirty blonde colored, while giving me the sense of protection to his family. The strange thing though is that I bear some resemblances to the pegasus family, while Arcana to the unicorns.

"Can I help you?" I asked them as we all stood at the front while awkwardness around us all started to settle in like snow.

"Yes you can," the pegasus dad said to me as he reached into his saddlebag and pulled out a newspaper, "are you the pegasus named Star Streak that lives here?" he asked as he showed me the newspaper article. I took a closer look at the article and saw that it is a picture of Arcana and me kissing at the wedding, I then looked at the title: Two of the Unsung Heroes has fallen in love at the Royal Wedding.

"Yeah, that is me, why do you ask?" I asked as the pegasus put away the newspaper back into his saddlebag.

"Just a confirmation Star," he answered, "or should I say, Eric Moore," he added with a smile.

The unicorn mother then release the restraint she had a hold on herself and said to me in a upset tone, "where's Brittney, where is my little girl." When she said that, I did the one thing that comes naturally to those that finds their parents or your lover's parents, in my case both, on your front step. I unconsciously slammed the door right in their faces.

"Who was that Star?" I heard Arcana walking down the stairs and towards me, "and what was with that door slamming?"

"I think it was our parents," I answered her as she made her way into the hallway, still unsure of what I just heard and then did, "and I also think that I might have slammed the door shut right in their faces as well," I added confused.

"Wait a second, our parents?" Arcana asked me disbelieved, "and why did you slam the door in their faces?" she added as she rushed past me and towards the front door and made a move to open it.

"I don't know why I did it, maybe it was some kind of primal reaction," I replied back to her.

Arcana quickly opened the door, revealing a group of stunned ponies there, but as soon as the unicorn family saw Arcana step outside, they all shook off their stupor and rushed at Arcana, "oh Brittney, we thought we would never see you again," Arcana's mom said to her with a hint of relief in her voice.

And then my parents came up to me and embraced me into a hug of their own, "oh Eric," the pink pegasus said to me in my mom's voice that I immediately recognized, "I am so glad that we were able to finally find you, after all this time," and then I sensed that my mom was about to cry very soon.

I looked around to see if there was anypony on the streets, but it was still early, so other ponies will still be asleep, but not for long, "alright guys," I said to them all, "let's go inside so we won't draw a crowd," I suggested.

"Of course," my dad said as the hug was broken, "but first let's find Dot."

"Dot?" I asked him, "Dot who?"

"You'll see, but I advice you, he is a bit shy and seems to be almost afraid of everything," my dad said to me, "and also he is a bit different then us," he added as he looked towards the corner of our house, "come out Dot, it is ok."

After a while a black shape emerged from corner hesitant and when I identify it, I rushed at it with the intent to protect my family, "Changeling," I yelled as I tackled it and then pinned it to the ground, Arcana get the others into the house, quick."

"Eric J. Moore…" I heard my mom call out in disappointed tone, "… you let go and get off of your brother this instant."

"Say what?" I said to in disbelief at what I just heard as I look back at them and saw that Arcana too had the look of incredulity as well, "my brother?"

"Well adoptive brother anyway," my mom corrected her information, "now take a good look at him, because he is different than any other changelings you know," I did what my mom suggested and saw that he is smaller than the mane six, but a little taller than the CMC. I also saw that his eyes are green then the usual blue that changelings are known for, but the most noticeable feature about him is the stump on his forehead, indicating that it was broken off, he must be a runt of the changeling family, but what happened to his horn?

"Alright everypony," I heard Arcana speak up, "let's all go inside, because ponies are starting to wake up and walk about," Arcana explained, I look up and saw that she is right, for I see ponies starting to leave their homes.

I reluctantly got off of my supposedly adoptive brother and we all walked into our house so we can further this tête-à-tête, "sorry about the lack of furniture," I said as I led Arcana's and mine families into the bare living room, "and for not offering anything for you to eat and drink, we just got this house and have yet to acquire anything for it," I added as we all sat on the floor in the living room, with Dot hiding behind my dad.

"Speaking of being sorry," Arcana adding and then turn towards our families, "sorry about Star's behavior this morning," she apologized for my actions this morning to our parents.

"That's ok," my dad said, "I would've done the same as well if he said that he is my son."

"Speaking of," I said to my parents and Arcana's, "how did you even find us, and even know that we were your kids?"

"Well…" my dad started to explain, "When your mother and I saw you and Arcana's picture in the paper, we recognized you as your pony OC."

"How did you recognize my OC?" I asked them feeling slightly embarrassed that my parents know of my fascination to ponies.

"Our computer networks were connected," my dad explained, "so our files are all connected Eric or would you like to go by Star now?" he added.

"Well I am known as Star here, so I will go by that," I said to them.

"As for us…" said the protective unicorn from the unicorn family, "… we recognized you Brittney from your doodles that you draw occasionally, which by the way…" he then got up and swiftly came at me. I got up and tried to get away from him, but then I glowed white and he then picked me up in his magic and brought me to his face, "… you've been kissing my little sister."

"Whoa sister?" I looked over to Arcana, "I didn't know that you had a brother, why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked," Arcana bluntly answered.

Of course, "again, why were you kissing my sister?" Arcana's brother asked me again.

"First of all…" I concentrated and disappeared and reappeared in a flash of light a few feet away from Arcana's brother, earning stunned looks from everypony, except Arcana, "… that; second, what's your name, because I don't want to continue thinking you as Arcana's brother?"

"The name, Magi, runs through my head when somepony asks for my name, so I will go with that, and how did you just do that?" he asked me, and then I hear the sounds of a giggling baby.

"I will get back to that later Magi, but I need to know something first," I said to him and then I turn towards my parents and there I saw Dot playing peek-a-boo with the little foal who was giggling once more, "where were you guys and where did he come from?" I asked my parents as I pointed at Dot, "and what's up with the baby?"

"I want to know as well," Arcana said to her parents.

"Well Star, your mother and I woke up in a hospital, and as you can see by our appearances, as ponies," my dad explained, "at first we were about to panic from the sudden change, but then I remember about you being a brony and the notes you put down about this world," I started to feel more embarrassed when he mentioned about the notes I use to write about the show, "a few minutes later after we both calm down, a nurse came into our room and when she saw us awake, she told us that we were found outside of the hospital with a note and a few bags."

"When the nurse asked for our names, the name Lightning Streak went through my head…" my dad said.

"And Loving Heart was mine," my mom mentions hers.

"… We later found out that we both were in the hospital in a city called Manehattan," my dad said revealing his location of where he and my mom has been this whole time, "we were given the bags that we were found with, and left the hospital soon after. I also have to say that we were both walking surprisingly well on four than two," my dad added, "well when we checked what was inside the bag, we saw that it was filled with Bits and a letter."

"What did the letter said and where did Dot and the baby come from?" I asked them.

"Your father was getting to that Star," my mom answered, "so be patient."

"Well…" my dad continuing his story, "… the letter was full of information, it told us that we have a place to stay at and what to do around everypony else, it even said that we have jobs here as well," he said in amazement as he told us what happened to him and I think I know who has a hoof in this, "continuing, as we were going to our somehow acquired home and walked passed a alleyway, we heard crying coming down from it."

When he said that he and mom heard crying coming down from an alleyway, I remembered what happened to me, when I walked down an alleyway due to hearing a child crying and paid for it with my life. I looked at Dot's back with an icy stare and he knew that he was getting stared down at, for he started to shudder.

"I told your mother to stay at the entrance as I investigate what was making that sound, I followed the sound and found him all beaten up and scared, so I went to go and help him after a few scuffles I was finally able to calm him down and we took him home, and as you can see he has been living with us this whole time, so we decided to adopt him."

"And what about the baby?" I asked again about the baby.

"As for the baby," my mother said, "Star meet your little sister, Starry."

"Say what?" I am shocked for I just learned that I now have two siblings in one day.

"Yes, we had her after I got all… needy during one spring," my mom explained, oh boy, I thought to myself when I heard that and immediately know that my mom was in heat, "and then we saw yours and Brittney's OC kissing so we thought that it might be you, so we got on the next train to Ponyville."

"What about you guys?" Arcana asked her family.

"Well Brittney… or would you like to be called Arcana here as well?" Arcana's dad started then asked her.

"Arcana would just do," Arcana confirmed her name.

"Well, we woke up in a house that we didn't recognize it and then we saw that we had become ponies," Arcana's dad told their story, "at first we thought we were dreaming, but that couldn't be, because that will mean that we all are having the same dream."

"After we explored the house," Magi speaking up, "we found out that it belongs to us from the pictures we found of us as ponies around the house and the letter we found."

"It was instructions," Arcana's mom elucidated, "it said 'Don't Panic' as its title, with instructions below it, those were the weirdest set of instructions I have ever read, but they worked for we lived in Fillydelphia all this time, but we were always worried where you were, but when we saw you in the newspaper and heard that you were in Ponyville, we all left and headed our way towards here."

"Where…" Magi adding more, "… we meet up with your family Star."

"And you did freak out from seeing Dot?" Arcana questioned them. I saw Dot became more alert when he heard his name, and that he is being talked about.

"They didn't know at the time, for he disguised himself, so he doesn't freak out other ponies with his appearance," my dad explained about that problem, "but they saw his real form when he accidentally lost his concentration causing a slight panic on the train, luckily it was quickly handled."

"Wait a minute," I realized something, "if Dot can change his appearance, then why did he reveal himself in his real form and not in his disguise?" I pointed out.

"Because I didn't want to start a relationship based on a lie," dad pointed out, and I nodded in understanding, and then he turns towards Dot, "Dot come here and show Star your other appearance," Dot wearily walked away from my mom and sat right besides my dad and looked at him unsure, "it's ok, go on."

Dot looked at back at my mom and looked at her up and down and then back at my dad and repeated the process, and then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then as consumed in a small flash of fire and there stood a tiny pegasus that looks just like me, but without the silvery wings and with a tint of pink in his coat. I saw him bring up a hoof to his mouth and cleared his throat and spoke.

"I know that you don't trust me after that attack on Canterlot," he said to me in a sadden tone, "but you have to know something, I gave up on the ways of the changelings and left them and paid for the price," he said as he started to unconsciously rub the area on his forehead where the stump of his broken off horn is, "I wandered around Equestria and ended up in Manehattan and was ready to pass away."

He looked back at my family and added, "But your family found me and helped me, with me fighting back, but they didn't gave up and continued to help me no matter what and then gradually I started to trust them until I think them as a family I never had," and then he looked back at me, "so Star, even though I had never met you, but heard wonderful things from your parents, our parents, so would you give me the honor of calling you my *aniki," he said as he put out hoof for a shake.

This stunned me from what Dot said and is asking of me, "Well Dot, you're right when I don't trust changelings after what happened back in Canterlot," I said to him earning a look of disappointment and getting looks of disapproval from my parents, but I ignored their looks and continue what I am saying, "but in the short time you were here, I saw you frightened out of your life and yet still stayed around showing that you are a little brave, renounce your species ethnicity with total conviction and heck I even saw you playing with my little sister with no problems at all," I said to him, "and I also saw that you didn't take the full look of another, but just small features here and there, creating a look of your own, so even though this would be seemed odd to anypony else, it is not to me, for I have a lot of odd things here that will last me for a while," I then stuck out my hoof and shook his and said, "so I will be proud to let you call me your *aniki."

Dot's green eyes then started to leak tears and then he broke our hoof shake and then embraced me, and said in a tearful voice, "I never had a family like this one that cared for me before, so thank you all for giving me a wonderful family," and with that he broke the hug and walked back to my, ah I mean, our mom and sat there, with bits of tears still visible in his eyes and I also saw that our mom has tears in her eyes as well.

"Speaking of families," I heard Magi speak up. I looked over to Magi, "I will ask you again, why were you and my sister kissing and how did you even do what you did earlier with the teleportation, and why does Arcana and you have similar looking tattoos on your right forelegs?"

"Well that is going to take a while," Arcana answered gaining every pony's attention and towards her, "so let's just say that we are meant we were granted responsibilities and these things from those that are higher up in ranks."

"But you're just eighteen though," Arcana's mom said, "what responsibilities could you been contracted with?"

"Saving this world," I answered her as I got up from my spot and settled myself right next to Arcana and then turn towards her brother, "and Magi, as for why I am kissing her, it is because I love her and what we have been through together."

"But Star," my mom said to me hearing the concern in her voice, "saving this world is a big responsibility to be put on the shoulders of a nineteen year old."

"And what happened that made you and Arcana so close to each other?" Arcana's brother asked me.

"First of all, don't worry mom," I insured my mom, "I am pretty sure that the world is saved and that there will be no need for us in a while," and then I turn my gaze back to Magi, "and as for what happened that brought me and Arcana close to each other, it is because I gave my life protecting her from my love for her," this stunned everypony in the room when I said that, "and she brought me back with her love for me," I declared and then I leaned over to Arcana and gave her a quick kiss to make my point.

After Arcana and I finished our kiss, we turn our attention back to the others and I added, "now what's done is done in the past, so let's all forget about this and go out and get something to eat…" at the mention of food, almost all of every pony's stomach in the room began to rumble out of hunger, "… because this house's kitchen is still empty of any food," I explained as I got up from the floor and made my way towards the hall and out of the door, leading my and Arcana's family to some food.
