Family And Nothing More

Cotton Cloud P.O.V.

The day was ending, night's darkness filling the sky outside, everything was peaceful, WAS peaceful.

-C-Cloud - I heard her calling me, sobbing and cring - W-Where are y-you?

I got up from my bed looking for her, I found her sitting like a ball against the door.

-Aura, what happened?

-T-Tender happened - Some dancers hide their ego before they show themselves - And he just.....Was there with....That stupid filly

She bucked tha table away from her, and before she could destroy something, I grabbed her hooves trying my best to not let her escape but not hurt her.

-Hey, hey, Aura, listen.......He is a dumb colt, nothing more, heard me? There are many of them outside, you can find a better-

-I DON'T WANT TO, THIS SON OF A-.........I hate colts

-Shhhh, don't say that, what he did exactly? Come here, sit with me, explain everything

-D-Don't tell mama about this, or auntie, or even- - I patted her head, lightly calming her - He just ignored everything

-Let me guess, he never told you about her and now, it all came to you like a rocket?

-NO! IT WAS A TRICK! He wanted to use my talent to grow as a celebrity

-I don't think so, he never cared about it, maybe you are-

-I'M OKAY AND VERY HEALTHY, THANK YOU...

-I just wanted to say you can be right or wrong, maybe after all this passes, I can go talk with-

-No, if you talk to him, never talk to me again, I want my family with me - I hugged her and she finally calmed down - I just want you with me...

-I know, it's okay.........And I have news for you, good news - She stopped crying and sobbing to listen - My friends want to meet you

-Y-Your friends - she cleared her vision filled with tears - The ones with the fasty, the strongy and the brainy?
-Not exactly but call them whatever you want, First Base and Chipcutter can love your tricks, Train might want to show them the secret behind them, so be careful - We both laughed thinking about it - So, what do you say?

-I need.............New friends, when can I meet them? - She showed her cards with all the five of us - I will show this Train Tracks colt how my tricks are done, I'm the secret behind them

She threw the card of Tender Taps under my bed, lying on it and sleeping almost immediatly.

-Great.......Now I need to find my extra cloud to sleep on it, thank you, family can suck the soul out of you sometimes

Train Tracks P.O.V.

Today I was working on my little workshop, it was late, but daddy was late too, until he show up, I work.

-Hey, so, about this filly, Candy right? - My brother sighed while he looked at me working - She will come here soon? I want to know her some more

-No, she won't, because I know you would try to show her how machines work....I like to keep her thinking we are just friends, it is better like this - I threw a little nail against him - Hey!

-Sorry, but....Be honest, you think she won't find out about love sometime? What if it isn't with you? I mean......Do you love her?

-Uhn, well, not like a romance but.....More than a best friend? - He sighed looking at himself in a mirror - She likes me even with this face, she called help when I wrecked her house, how I couldn't? She is the best filly I ever met

-So listen to me only this time........Show her the truth, express your feelings, if you wait too much, it can come back as something really bad

-For example? - Now I sighed shaking my head

-Scootaloo and me - I turned around with my new machine - You know....I tried to help her with a scooter that she could carry easily, but she broke it

-Wow, nice filly you met - He laughed at me

-Anyway....She told me about her wings problem.....I told her about you - He facehoofed - And then we became closer friends.......The problem was......She had these two best friends......And to be honest, they kind of ruined everything with the camp

-The camp? - He was looking at my machine while listening for some reason

-Yeah, Rumble was there and...........You just know when something is happening, you should see how happy they were after Rumble learned more about having more than one interest...I just moved on

We heard the sound of our door opening, daddy was home, today he came afterall.

-Dad......

-Lazer Beam

-Father! - I jumped on his back, grabbing the usual pack of pieces he always bring to me, pieces I use to build machines - THIS IS POWDER, I LOVE YOU!

-Powder.......Wait, and that machine you held, it looked like an..........Are you going to explode something?

-Your mouth, heheheh

-Hello you two, very funny, you should be asleep by now:

-Sorry old pony, we expected what is left of our responsables to be here and take care of us

-Lazer, don't talk to me like that

-Yeah, don't be a meany Lazer, he works hard for us, he even got a job really fast after the incident to help your........Eye

-My eye? You know what I think of it? - He placed the visor on my table - I don't care about my vision, I lost half of it, and be honest with me, you wanted to go back to the factory

-It was worth the bits I got-

-YOU TOOK LIVES FOR THESE BITS! AND THAT IS WHY MOMMY LEFT YOU AND EVERYTHING FELL APART! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! - Lazer flew away

Daddy was about to go after him but I stopped him, hugging his back legs.

-D-Don't let him mess with you

-I know he won't change his behavior, and this is my fault

-I don't think so, the murder theories are just......Theories, if you say you never hurt somepony, I believe in you - I hugged him

-T-Thank you......Now go find your brother, I will check your new creations - He looked so tired but proud, he admires me

-No problem, Train Tracks can track him down - Lazer was not easy to find, but he would come back easily

I can always convince him by another ''upgrade'' on his visor, like night-vision or a real lazer beam coming out of it, I don't know why he accepts these gifts, but it works, so I keep on doing it, maybe because of mommy, she dreamed about me bulding a rocket skate, she loved skates just as me, and I took it, my rocket skate, just to find Lazer Beam outside, this is what I have left of her, because they can never be united again, but they are my family.

Diamond Tiara P.O.V.

I looked through all the cards I received, some were bills, things daddy needed to pay because of the law, and things my mother would buy to herself only by seeing the high price.

-Nothing that interes...What is- - I grabbed a little pony made with paper, they call it origami, right? - Okaaaay, trash to yo-

When I was about to throw it, I turned it to the other side, it had something written there

-Hmm, ''open this origami'', okay - I did as it said, and found two things - A ticket to see Tender Taps's show tomorrow and....A flower?

A beautiful red rose, and if you ask me, I would probaly accept some colts but......The owner of this card didn't say the name, it just said '' secret admirer ''.

-What to do now? If I go and it is somepony like Snails or Pipsqueak.....But what if it is Chipcutter or First Base? - I remembered the little secret of First Base - Oh yeah, he can't be.......Why such a beautiful colt needs to want others like him?

I left these things on my desk, I was about to go back to sleep but I heard the door opening, I fastly hided all my presents and special cards, letting the rest there.

-Diamond Tiara, can I take these? - Daddy opened the door without knocking again

-Yeah, just a bunch of things they got for you - I lied because I need to

While he took the box filled with his things, I wandered if they would never let me date somepony in the PUBLIC theater, and even if it was Snips or anypony like them, I wanted to find out who it was, because sometimes, families can't come first when you have secrets to keep.
