A Humans Gift And Unexpected Family

“Carry me?” is the first thing Pinkie asked me not mere moments after stepping out of the throne room. I stared down at the pink fluff ball on four legs who stared at me with her big, blue eyes that seemed to shine a little brighter than normal. No, I must resist! I must resist!

“Pinkie, I am pretty sure you have enough energy to make another sun in the sky and four strong enough legs to run around the world fast enough to make it spin backwards and go back in time” why am I now imagining Pinkie in a blue suit with a red cape? “With that in mind I am positive that you are not tired enough to warrant me carrying you” I told her in a tired voice, but I resisted her!

Having successfully countered the pink menace I triumphantly looked back down and there she was, still looking at me with her big, shining blue eyes but now they seemed sad and glittered against the light while her lower lip was jutted out and quivered. NO! I must resist! I must resist! I must...... I must!

“Come here Pinkie” I groaned out loud as I opened my arms and invited her in. Without wasting a millisecond Pinkie launched herself from the floor and into my arms with a giggle as she made herself comfortable. I simply continued walking down the halls in defeat while Pinkie finally settled in with her back against my arms while her hooves floundered about. “Hey Pinkie” I said.

“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Adrian?” she said in a sweet tone as she smiled up at me. Darn you Pinkie, darn you.

“I am curious about something, why did you ask that time to be picked up? You never asked before, you always just jumped and thankfully I caught you” I asked her since I was actually curious.

“It was more fun this way!” she cheekily said with a grin and a wriggling eyebrow. Oh you devious little pony.

“And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker big guy!” Rainbow chimed in as she laughed away at me.

“You are so lucky that you are so sweet Pinkie or else I might have to drop you so I can mess with Rainbow” I said.

“Ohhhhh~ Does that mean you have a sweet tooth then mister?” Pinkie jested as she playfully wriggled in my arms. Oh no, your are not winning another round you silly party pony! I must defend my pride as a human and I know just what to do.

“It sure does, in fact you do look pretty tasty” I licked my lips as I scanned her body “I think I will dig right in!” I told her before I buried my face in her chest fur and using my lips to cover my teeth I gently nibbled her over and over again “Num num num num num num!”

Pinkie was giggling like mad “A-A-Adrian! St-st-stop that!” she tried saying but her own laughter kept interrupting her. Now she was trying to use her hooves to push me away but her strength had left her and her actions failed to stop me. Behind me I could also hear Rainbow roaring with laughter, probably a mix between laughing at Pinkie and laughing at me for doing something this ridiculous.

I gave her a few more nibbles before I came up and grinned while Pinkie let out more and more giggles and laughs before she finally caught her breath and did a weird mixture of taking deep breaths and laughing. But I could not stop there though, I had to teach her a lesson and I knew what I needed to do next.

“Yummy! You tasted like taffy! But I wonder” I drifted off while my eyes slowly examined her poofy mane “If your mane tastes like cotton candy!” I loudly said before I grabbed a large chunk of her mane that was sticking out closest to me and began gently chewing on it in my mouth. Once again Pinkie exploded in a fit of laughter right along with Rainbow who had crashed into the ground.

“Th-that tickles!” Pinkie barely gasped out between her loud sets of laughter. Her eyes had started to get watery from all the laughing she was doing but I just went forward and continued to nom on my new hairy snack.

“What'n tarnations is going on out here?” I heard from behind me and instantly as one the three of us stopped dead in our tracks and I slowly turned around and saw both Applejack and Twilight giving us confused looks. She became even more confused when she saw Pinkie in my arms with tears in her eyes and the biggest smile while I had a large strand of her mane in my mouth. My eyes shifted back and forth between Pinkie and Applejack.

“Nuffin” I eventually garbled out of my mouth and doing so made me accidentally chew on her mane a bit more which of course made her laugh a bit. At this I heard Rainbow give out a slight snicker and I could see Twilight stifle a laugh by holding up a hoof to her now smiling face.

“Well, it looks like your trip back home went good but what are you doing back so soon? You had about twenty four hours before having to come back” Twilight asked as the two of them walked up to us. I tried to get Pinkies mane out of my mouth but it was stuck a bit so I had to use my hand to pull it out and when I did a few small strands of hair were left.

I used the same hand to quickly wipe my mouth clean before speaking “Yeah, Cadence told me how long we had but some things came up and I didn't really need to stick around for too long but it was a fruitful trip and I brought a lot of my stuff back and I even got some things for you girls” I told her.

“GASP! Did you bring me some books from your world?! Did you!? Did YOU?!?” Twilight loudly said as she zoomed and flew up to my face with a huge smile on her face and a small twinkle in her eyes. I smiled back before I placed my finger on her muzzle.

“You. Shall. Have. To. Wait. And. See” I slowly said and which each word I tapped her muzzle gently and ended with a small chuckle to myself. She frowned a bit but went right back to smiling as she landed on the ground. “I am going to wait for tomorrow since I am a bit tired from the journey and it would be better to give you your gifts during the day”

“I suppose that would be for the best, oh I can't wait for tomorrow!” Twilight excitingly said as she danced in place with a smile as big as Pinkies.

“Well I reckon we hit the hay then or else Twi here might tire herself out” Applejack teased which made Twilight stop dancing and blush. After letting out one final laugh we all headed up to our rooms and after saying goodnight to the other three I went to Pinkies room to drop her off and when I stepped inside I was greeted to a very big surprise.

Even though this was a room in the castle, the inside had been redecorated and made to look like a party room, streamers covered the ceiling and some of the walls while the rest of the walls had various other party objects placed on them. I had to watch my step because the ground was littered with balloons and other party favors, how in the world did she manage to do this? I shook out those thoughts since it was probably better not to ask considering it was Pinkie.

Once I stepped over the party death traps I finally reached her bed and placed her on it “Alright, goodnight Pinkie Pie. I will see you in the morning” I told her and I had just turned around when I felt my shirt being tugged, so I turned back and saw Pinkie giving me a sad look again. Oh no, not again!

“Adrian? Can you tuck me in please?” she asked me but unlike before she did seem kinda sad and her tone had an unhappy hint in it. Hmm, I wonder what's wrong? I nodded though and gave her a warm smile so I gently picked her up again so I could unfold her blankets and place her under them. Letting her adjust her body real quick I then folded the blankets back over her and tucked them in a little while she had her front hooves out over the top, gosh these ponies are too cute for their own good.

“There we go, all tucked in warm and snugly. Is there anything I can do for you Pinkie?” I asked her, hoping that the sad hint in her voice from earlier was gone. She however remained silent for a few seconds before she looked up at me.

“Hey Adrian, how big is your family back home?” she asked.

“How big? Well, the Frost family is pretty big and I have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Heck last year one of my cousins had a kid. Even though he is my cousin they wanted to introduce me to their kid as an uncle. But as for my immediate family, well for all my life it was only me and my mom” I explained to her, I wonder why she is asking about this.

“Just you two? No brothers or sisters? And what about your dad?” Pinkie curiously asked.

I shook my head “I do not have any siblings that I know of because I have no idea where my dad is” I let out a sad sigh “I don't know all the details but from what I know and have pieced together my dad dated my mom and had accidentally gotten her pregnant. When he found out he split and disappeared, leaving my mom to give birth to me and raise me all alone. So I have no idea who he is or where he is” I sadly explained.

The room went quiet for about a minute, with me sitting on the edge of the bed while Pinkie looked at me tucked under the blankets but I felt her hoof touch my hand “I think you would be the best big brother ever” she quietly said.

“Really? Why would you say that?” I asked her.

“Because that is how I feel with you, you go along with my silliness and play with me but you know when I take things to far and gently tell me to calm down. In my family I had three sisters, two younger and one older but my older sister was kinda quiet and we never really talked much. So I always had to be the big sister, but when I am with you I feel like the silly younger sister and you the kind older brother” Pinkie said.

“So even though I know that we can never really replace family, I hope that maybe you can see me as your little sister. If you want to” Pinkie quietly said as her eyes shifted off into the distance, looking like I was probably going to say no already. I gave what she said a moment to sink in and I let a smile creep onto my face before I leaned over to pick her up and give her a big hug. I heard her give a surprised squeak which made me laugh a little.

“I would love to have someone as cute and sweet as you as my little sister, so long as you don't mind someone like me being your big brother” I gently said.

“Then welcome to the family, big brother” Pinkie replied back with along with a big huge hug. Heh, I would of never of guessed that something like this would happen. I just hope that she does not call me Adrian Pie though, that would be just silly. Wait, if it is silly then..... oh no. “So should I call you Adrian Pie now? Or just big brother? OH! OH! I know! How about Big Brother Pie?! Or maybe just Big Pie!”

I let out a loud groan while mentally I was face palming very intensely. “Definitely not Adrian Pie. Either just Adrian or big brother please” I said to her.

“Ok just Adrian, my new big brother!” Pinkie happily said while I mentally face palmed again at the just Adrian thing. What have I done accepting her as my little sister? Oh well, not like crazier things have happened or anything.

“Alright, as my new little sister you need to get your sleep for our big day tomorrow” I said to her.

“Okie dokie loki!” she replied before settling back into place and I re-tucked her in. Once she was all wrapped up again I stood up and smiled at her while she smiled back at me. I decided to lean down to give her a good night kiss on her cheek, when I did she giggled a little.

“Good night my little sister” I quietly told her.

“Good night big brother, I love you” she said back to me which got me to blush a little but I smiled anyway and took a few moments to avoid the party traps on the ground to reach the candle and blow it out.

Since it was next to the door I slid to the side and just before I closed the door I leaned my head in to say “I love you too”. With that I quietly closed the door and headed down to my room but now before I let out a big yawn that seemed to echo down the hall. After a brief walk I made my way into my room that was illuminated by the moon which cast an eerie shadow inside my room but that dread feeling melted away when I felt Artemis bounce up and down on my leg with a happy look on her face. Gosh she was adorable.

I picked her up and hugged her against my chest but she pushed on my chest so she could use my arms as a platform in order to stand up and lick my face repeatedly. Still weird that her tongue looked like a green flame in the shape of a tongue that didn't burn or anything, but good thing was no slobber to wipe off my face. With her in my arms I strode over to my desk and saw a note saying 'Artemis was fed and we left some extra fish in the cabinet below your desk – Luna'

Have to thank her tomorrow for that, I'll just tell her when I give her my gift. Better prepare for another bear hug from her. Hehehe. I placed Artemis down on the ground as I got changed into my pajamas and used the bathroom and brushed my teeth before settling down on my comfy, comfy cloud bed and closed my eyes while Artemis curled up next to me. I closed my tired eyes and let the night consume me.

---------- 7:30 A.M, Adrians Room ----------

UGH. Not a wink of sleep. Not one! Blarg, my whole body just aches from tossing and turning in my sleep, much to the dismay of Artemis who eventually curled up at the foot of my bed. But it doesn't really surprise me after everything that happened yesterday, getting to sleep after you find out that you have been pronounced dead on your home world is not exactly comforting.

At first I just tried to keep my eyes closed and just imagine good and comforting thoughts but that did not seem to work so I just lied awake and stared at the ceiling. When I realized that staring only made a mere ten minutes fly by I eventually got up and read a few chapters of 'There And Back Again: A Gryphons Journey' but even that did not help me drift off to sleep even though I could feel myself nodding off. So all night I just layed in bed awake, trying to do anything to fall asleep but no avail.

Which leads me to now as the sun finally broke through my curtains and shone into my face. Ugh, fine. I suppose I have no choice but to get up, which I finally did after moving a grumpy Artemis who was finally happy that I had stopped moving earlier. So doing my usual shower, teeth brushing, grooming, and finally getting dressed in yet another new outfit Rarity had made me I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and made me almost forget about the fact that I had gotten no real sleep.

Well I guess one good thing that came out of last night was I had enough time to gather all my gifts together in a separate chest so that none of them would accidentally see their gifts. Now I just need a unicorn or something to help me get it down there but I can worry about that later after I get some breakfast. First thing I did was feed Artemis the fish I had gotten, once she was full and happy I opened my door and took two steps out an- BAM!

“Big brother! Big Brother! Good morning big brother!” Pinkie said in a very happy voice as she tackle-hugged me to the ground and giggled like crazy. At first I was do dazed and confused that I lied there for a few seconds before it hit me that she blindsided me like that but I remembered her greeting and it made me blush a little but I smiled just as big as her.

“Good morning little sister, I take it you slept well?” I asked her as I messed with her mane.

“Oh boy did I! I had the best dream ever! Well I think I did, I don't really remember all of it but I really me and I remember you and I remember you making me really happy! And any dream where I am really happy is a very good dream!” she exclaimed.

“Well that is good to hear, glad I can make you happy even when your asleep” I grinned at my boast but Pinkie happily agreed to it anyway.

“Are you heading to breakfast?! Cause I am too! Lets go together as brother and sister! Everypony else is already down there!” Pinkie asked.

I gave a brief chuckle at the fact that we already seemed to taking this brother sister thing so casually. But I guess that is the magic of Pinkie Pie I suppose. I nodded my head and got on one knee and presented my back to her, to which she leapt on and snuggled up to me with her hooves wrapped around me while she layed her head on my shoulder and smiled. Giving another quick chuckle I lifted both of us up and began to make our way to the dining hall.

After taking a few small detours due to Pinkies wandering eye we finally found ourselves wandering into the dining hall where the four princesses were eating along with Shining, Applejack, and Rainbow. “HI EVERYPONY!” Pinkie loudly shouted as the two of us waved at them. I was now sharing my chest with another pink pony, or should I say alicorn, now that Cadence was firmly clamped with her hooves wrapped around my chest, thank goodness that the dragon magic strengthened me up or else I might of died due to hugs.

“Good morning Adrian! How are you this morning?” Cadence asked very enthusiastically.

“Good morning to you too Cadence, I am feeling alright. Didn't really get a good night's sleep but I was greeted to a very pleasant greeting by this one here” I explained while I pointed to Pinkie with my finger.

“Didn't sleep well? Is everything alright?” Cadence worryingly asked.

“Oh yeah, it was just everything that happened yesterday kinda overwhelmed me and with all that in m mind it did not lead to a very pleasant sleep like usual” I explained to her.

“True, I suppose hearing that sort of news would tend to make one stay awake. But do you think this will be a problem in the future?” she asked again.

“No, I don't think so. I just need some time to let it sort out by itself is all but I will fine and if not I will consult you, deal?” I said to her.

“Deal. Alright, now were are the goodies?!” she asked once more.

I laughed at first “Slow down there, can I at least grab a bite to eat and besides I have them ready to go. I just need some help getting the one chest full of gifts down here” I explained.

“Which chest?” Luna asked.

“Um, the dark red chest with black hinges. Why do you-” I was cut short when I heard a POP behind me, turning around I saw that it was my chest that had the gifts “ask. Impatient Luna?” I teasingly asked her which got her dark blue cheeks to blush red a bit, making her look adorable. “Well with that now settled, I can go and eat real quick. No peaking Rainbow Dash” I quickly added.

Said pony zoomed back to her seat and began to whistle innocently. Walking over to the table with two pink ponies latched on I grabbed my plate and grabbed some hot food and gobbled it up. I will definitely need to talk to them about getting me something more wholesome for food in the future, like meat. But pushing that aside I set my plate down and eventually pried the two ponies off of my body so I could sit normally and eat, much to their displeasure.

After eating with all of their expecting eyes watching me I let out a loud groan “Alright! Go sit down and I wll get you your gift, sheesh” I told them and within a flash all of them, including Celestia, had taken a seat on the outer table seats nearest the chest. Once that was done I stood in front of the chest “Ok, now first off I am sorry if some of my gifts seem silly to you but since I don't really know what all you like yet I did my best to think what you would like”

“So long as it nothing lame like a pen or something then I am totally fine with whatever” Rainbow tried to say nonchalantly.

“Well, big headiness aside, Rainbow is right. A gift is a gift and it is from you personally from your own world, so no matter what it is I know we will enjoy whatever you have to give” Twilight said with a nice smile.

Giving her a nod I leaned down and turned the chest so when I opened it they would see the cover only, then I reached inside and found the first two items so I collected them and walked up to Celestia. “My first gift is for you Princess Celestia, as my way of saying thanks for allowing me to live here with you and your ponies and for taking your own personal time to find a spell to get me back home. So thank you Celestia for everything you have done for me. First is a picture that I think you would enjoy, even though it has humans in it I think you can enjoy the atmosphere within it” I said as I presented a medium sized picture within a frame.

“This is beautifully done! Amazing and yes, you are right. I enjoy the display and actions in this picture. Thank you so much my dear Adrian” Celestia said.

“Ah, one more gift. This can be used as both a toy and a helpful device, it is called a laser pointer. If you press this button” I pressed the button and had the setting of a simple dot set up “a red beam will shoot out and according to whatever the metal casing here has will shine out. This one is just a red beam but there is this one” I quickly changed the metal casing “and when you shine it, it displays the sun! Just be careful not to point this in anyones eyes or else it could hurt their eyes” I explained to her.

Celestia took the next minute playing around with the laser and tried a few of the other picture settings then she turned it off and turned to me and much to my surprise gave me a hug “Oh thank you Adrian! These are both wonderful gifts, it has been a while since I have received a sincere gift from anypony else. Thank you” she said and I blushed a bit out of embarrassment but I hugged her back and moved to back to collect the next set of gifts for Luna.

“For you Princess Luna I present to you these gifts as my thanks for assisting me with my dreams and for being a kind friend and as a thank you for helping me out yesterday with Artemis. My first gift is this book about my worlds astronomy and star gazing. I think you will enjoy seeing the different stories and pictures we have discovered in our night sky. And my second gift is a pillow casing that has a famous painting from my world printed into it, I think you might enjoy it” I said to her.

Luna took a quick look at the pillow casing and smiled as she used her magic to hold it up before she looked at a few pages in the book and gasped. “This is amazing! Oh thank you so much Adrian!” Luna said before she threw her own hooves around me and swung me around in excitement, causing her sister to giggle a bit. After another full swing she set me down and was beaming “We thank you so much, this means so much to us”

Taking a moment to regain my footing I smiled at the lunar princess before returning to the chest and pulling out three objects for Cadence “For you Princess Cadence I present these two books containing my worlds most famous love stories, though I have to warn you that a few of them don't exactly have happy endings though. And my last gift is this heart shaped pocket watch, so that no matter where you go you will always remember there is always time for love” I concluded with a kind smile.

It only took a few seconds for her to look over my gifts before she flung herself around me with a huge smile plastered to her face “Oh you are so kind and sweet and cute and so thoughtful! Thank you so much Adrian! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” she said with much glee. Of course I had to wait for her to settle down before I even though about scraping her off but when I did she began to eye and take a closer look at the pocket watch. I went back and gathered several books and set them down in front of Twilight.

“Princess Twilight, as thanks for letting me stay in your castle and for looking out for me ever since I arrived I present to you several books of different genres, I still have a majority of them just in case you don't like them or find the differences hard to understand. But I think you will like these, I have Moby Dick, The Complete Sherlock Holmes, The Princess Bride, Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone, The Hobbit, Frankenstein, Ender's game, and Interview With The Vampire. Oh and this book The Hobbit, this is the book that is similar to the book I reading 'There And Back Again: A Gryphons Journey'. Oh and one more warning, some of these books are kinda mature so....don't....freak-” I tried to finish but Twilight had already picked up The Princess Bride and started reading it right there.

We all shook our heads and laughed at the fact that she was totally ignoring the outside world, guess I will get my hug from her later. So I went back and grabbed the next gifts for Applejack. “For you Applejack I present to you a few books from back home about farming, which includes the different types of apple trees and how to raise them, some farming tools, and luckily my mom had a book about different apple themed foods. I hope you like them” I said to her.

“Well shoot! This means an awful lot to me Adrian, though I would be surprised if I find an apple recipe the apple family has not done yet! But I think that ther apple farming book would be a interesting read. Thanks a lot Adrian!” she concluded with a hug and set all her stuff in a neat pile. I went back to the chest and came back for Pinkie.

“For you Pinkie, my new dear little sister, I thought you might like these cook books for making deserts and tasty snacks and I also have this joke and riddle book that you might enjoy” I said to her. She flipped open the joke book and laughed at several different jokes before she happily looked up.

“OH! OH! OH! Adrian! Knock Knock!” she began to ask.

“Who's there?”

“Moustache!”

“Moustache who?”

“I moustache you a question, but I'll shave it for later!” Pinkie concluded as she began to giggle-snort and a few of us laughed while the other half groaned. I am almost considering taking back that joke book but against my better judgment I decide to let her keep it. I was about to take a step back to the chest when I heard Applejack cough to catch my attention.

“I don't mean ta pry but I am kinda curious as ta what ya meant by calling Pinky here yer new little sister” Applejack said.

“Oh! Yeah, sorry about that. Well last night me and Pinky did some talking about families and one thing led to another and she offered to become my little sister and me her big brother. So I happily accepted of course!” I beamed a smile at said pink pony who returned one twice as big.

“OH! OH! That means that you and Applejack are cousins now! Since I'm her cousin and she is mine! So now you two are cousins too! Oh this is so exciting!” Pinkie explained to us. What?

“What?” I asked in confusion.

“Oh that's right, ya don't know about that. Well a lil while ago we found out that Pinkie here is related to ma family! So now were cousins! But Pinkie, I don't think that is how......new cousins are made” Applejack tried to explain.

“Ah fiddlesticks! He is my big brother now and that makes him family! So NYAH!” Pinkie exclaimed that last part by sticking out her tongue in a very comedic fashion. Me and Applejack looked at each other and shrugged but I held out my hand to her.

“Well, nice to meet you cousin” I said to her with a playful smile.

Applejack chuckled a bit before she took my hand “Nice to meet ya cousin” she said back.

“ALL RIGHT! Yeah family is important BUT what about my GIFT!?” Rainbow suddenly said out loud. I stared at her for a split second before chuckling.

“All right, all right. Just sit back down and I will go get it” I told her and thankfully she complied. With that I went back to the chest and pulled out several objects before returning. “And for you Rainbow Dash, I know your a sports girl so I thought giving you my sports stuff would be the best thing for you. So I have a basketball, soccer ball, football, baseball, hockey puck with face mask, tennis rackets with tennis ball, and a pair of ping pong paddles with a ping pong. Oh and I have these cool ski goggles that have a rainbow like effect when light hits it” I said to her.

She didn't really seem all the interested in the football and stuff but the ski goggles grabbed her attention and she tried them on and after taking a quick spin in the air then going around the room she landed with a huge grin “Awesome! These goggles are perfect! They are comfy and don't fog up and I can barely feel the wind hitting against them! Thanks Adrian!” Rainbow said before quickly giving me a hug then taking to the air again. Glad she liked at least one thing.

I looked back down the line and I saw that each of the girls were either reading or using their new gifts which meant I had some privacy to sneak a gift over to Shining. Taking a long rectangle box out of the chest I snuck my way over to Shining who was curiously watching the others play. “Hey Shining, I got you something that I think Cadence will like” I quietly whispered into his ear.

He now turned his curious gaze over to me and I quickly showed him the necklace I had in the box and the moment he saw it his eyes widened and a genuine smile crept onto his face. So I closed it back up and handed it over to him, he mouthed the words 'Thank you' along with a head bow. I returned the gesture before heading back over to the girls.

It was a few minutes before I heard the click clacking of hooves heading towards me and they belonged to Celestia “Hello my dear, I am so grateful that you gave not only me but everypony here a personal gift. It warms my heart to see such selflessness” Celestia elegantly told me before she wrapped her large wings around me, pulling me into a hug of which I gladly returned back to her. “But I do have a question for you Adrian, did you happen to bring along some sort of family photo album?

“Hmm, I think so........ yes! Yes I do, why do you ask?” I curiously asked.

“Well Cadence noticed something back on your world and brought it up to me since it reminded her of something in my past. It was a name, possibly belonging to one of your relatives. Her name sounds identical to a pony I knew long ago and so I very curious. If you do not mind but could I perhaps look inside your family's photo album?” she asked of me.

“It is no problem, it will probably help when I bring up the topic of what happened back on Earth as well. I will be right back!” I said to her before speeding off to my room and within ten minutes I ran back into the hall with my family's very large photo album. I set it down in front of Celestia and I presented it to her to use, after giving me a quick head bow she used her magic to grasp the pages and started scanning each page carefully.

I sat down next to her and patiently waited before I felt hoof poke me and that hoof belonged to Pinkie Pie “Hey big brother, whatcha two doing?” she asked.

“Celestia is looking through my family's photo album seeing if she can spot a name that sounds familiar to a pony she knew a long time ago” I explained to the pink party pony who had now stepped into my lap with a smiling face.

“I see! Oh! Can I look at it later? I wanna see what my new human family members looked like!” she excitingly said. I could only roll my eyes at her silliness but smiled anyway before reaching up and began petting her mane.

“Sun.....sun.....sun.....ah! Here!” Celestia suddenly spoke as she laid the book down on the ground for us all to see. The rest of the group gathered around the book and when they had Celestia used her golden hoof to point at a certain picture. “Who is this?”

“Oh! That's Grandma Shimmer! She was my moms mother, I was always curious about her odd name but she told me that where she came from it was a normal but strong name. She had lot's of stories and even though told us a lot she never really seemed to give out any definite information about where her stories were or where she came from” I explained.

“So she is your descendant then? Is she still on Earth?” Celestia asked me again.

“Unfortunately no, she passed away peacefully about two years ago. She was about one hundred and six, which is really old for us and very, very rare. Most humans pass away from old age around ninety to one hundred years old but Grandma Shimmer always held on like she was searching for something but none of us ever knew what. Now she is with my mother along with the rest of my family” I sadly explained.

“Oh my, I am so sorry Adrian. I did not mean to bring up a tender subject. I should not of pried” Celestia quickly apologized.

“No worries, I have accepted their deaths but I always hold onto my memories of them and smile” I said before I felt multiple hooves and wings gently touch me and all around I saw them make sad faces but still tried to comfort me. “Thank you everyone, I am happy to have friends like you around. So Celestia, what are you thinking about my grandma?”

“Hmm, I am not sure. Her name and her mane style in this photo look identical but she is human. Let me try a spell, with your permission of course” Celestia said to me. I gave her my approval and when I did her horn began to glow and when she touched the picture it soaked into it and glowed brightly before fading back to normal. At first nothing happened but I saw the picture shimmer and when it did Celestia let out a surprised gasp.

“What? What is sister?” Luna asked with a worried tone.

“Adrian, come and see this” Celestia beckoned me which I obeyed. I leaned down to view the picture better and everything in the photo was the same except that where my grandma was sitting there now sat an older looking pony with the same glasses and hair style as my grandmother.

“What does this mean?” Cadence spoke up.

“This means that my former student, Sunset Shimmer, who I banished from Equestria almost one thousand years ago ended up on Earth and became Adrians grandmother” Celestia solemnly declared.

I simply stared at the new picture of my grandmother before I spoke up “So what does that mean for me? Am I part pony or something?” I asked.

Celestia took a moment to think before speaking up to say “I am not sure about that but the one thing I am certain about is that her magical blood runs through your veins, Adrian”

Author's Note:

Hello everyone! Welcome to another chapter of THATW! Let me start off by saying that this chapter was NOTHING like how I had originally envisioned it and it went through multiple title changes. And I know that the whole gift thing was probably boring and long and I apologize. But that is over and it will never happen again! Well maybe gift giving but never that boring again. ANYWAYS!

-snickers- Adrian Pie, big brother to Pinkie Pie and cousin to Applejack. GASP! Adrian ApplePie! :facehoof:
Sorry about that, had to do it. But still, daww for little sister Pinkie! Now for the gifts, I thought that would be the most normal things that people would have laying around. Some were lame and some could be fun, like Celestia with a laser pointer. Hopefully the battery dies before she uses it for evil! Muahahaha!
And what does it all mean! Grandma Shimmer? Magical Blood? Part PONY?!?! Oh noes! If you want the answers, stay tuned for the next chapter!
