(Flashback 11 years ago)
"Golden Why? Why are you doing this?" yelled Shooting Star at her husband

"Because I want something more out of life than this Shooting! You're useless because you injured and your retarded son can think of nothing else but music and video games so he also useless now that's why I'm leaving! Goodbye Shooting!" and he slammed the door in her face she looks back to a crying young Prokun.

"Mom am I really retarded? Is that why dad is leaving us?" he sniffles

"No Prokun no... you are the smartest one I know now go to your room and rest you have school tomorrow goodnight baby ." said Shooting kissing him on the head.

"Ahhh!" I really hate that memory my stupid dad and his stupid face...I hate him!

"Sweetie what's wrong? you okay?" My mom asked looking tired.

"I'm fine just a bad dream." I lied I didn't want her to worry about me she needs to focus on her job of training Rainbow Dash for the Ponyville 500.

"Alright if you need anything just call me she goes back to her and Clarissa's room I lay on my bed thinking of that event the day my father left me and mom about me being a retard and my mom being useless.

(Morning)

"Good Morning mom..." I say I wasn't really in the mood to talk and she knew it.

"Good Morning Prokun you going to school?" she asked what kind of question is that! Of course i'm going to school I do it every single day. I then pack up my bag and kiss my mom goodbye

"Son be careful outside it's suppose to rain later."I take Clarissa to Princess and Prince school before flying to my normal high school. I land in the front and see all of the cliques:The Jocks and Cheerleaders, Music Theater guys and gals, Magic Prodigy's, and My group the Trail Mix we have everypony in our group from jocks to artist.

"Prokun! What's up!" said a Jock I was very popular I could do it all heck I almost beat Rainbow Dash once! And of course my friend Scootaloo was mad at me for almost beating Rainbow Dash when I was eleven! and I also had the second most beautiful fillyfriend in the world even though me and Button would fight about who's the most beautiful Sweetie Belle would win in the end and my Dinky would be second but it's fine I still kick Button's butt at Smash. I walk over to my friends.

"Hi guys..." they look at me.

"Sweetie are you okay? do you need some Hot chocolate?" I'm not a coffee drinker but hot chocolate helps me wake up in the morning it has the same effect on me.

"No i'm fine lets just go to English..."she looked at me worried

"Are you sure? because you seem at edge."

"No i'm perfectly fine let's just get to class."

"Okay..." she said hesitantly she cared for me but I didn't want her to worry about me.

(English Class)

I like my class Dinky in it so it Snowdrop, Scootaloo, and Rumble and we got the best teacher Ms.Lovey a Princess she knows me very well because of my sister the Princess of Joy, and Happiness.

"Is anyone ready to read Macbeth? that's what we are doing today!" she smiles Ms.Lovey is the only pony that I would know who would be happy about everything but somethings like my niece,nephew, and cousin. "You will be splitting into groups of five and you will be reading Macbeth together you will read until the end of class." we gathered up and distributed parts Scootaloo wanted to be Macbeth because reasons and Rumble was Lady Macbeth because like I said reasons I was Banquo, Snowdrop was Malcolm and Dinky was Macduff we end up getting to scene 3 act 5 before the bell rung for second block.

(End of School)

Me and Octavia walk to the studio to record my first single "Don't worry Prokun I know how you felt when you have to record your first album just ask Vinyl Scratch." That doesn't help that makes me more nervous we arrive at the studio VSO records.

"Hey Octy! Hi Prokun!" Vinyl is always so friendly me "You ready to sing?"I get in the booth set up the music sheets, put on the head sets and put my mouth up to the microphone.

"Ready!" They start to play the beat "Guess it's true i'm not good at a one-night stand..."I sang with all the heart I had I thought of Dinky and just sung when I was done there were tear drops on my glasses I grabbed a towel and wiped them off.

"Prokun t-that was AMAZING!" said Vinyl she hugged me "We have to release this is PONNYS material right here!" She started to run around like a madmare making sure everything in the song was perfect.

"I'll take you home Prokun the song will be done tonight you can hear it on the radio at let's say sometime in the afternoon." I look at my phone I got a text from Dinky it said: Come to my house I wanna talk to you. That didn't sound promising

"No I will be fine i'm going to Dinky's house it's not far." I say trying not to sound excited.

"Okay tell Derpy I said Hi!" I walk out and start to fly over to Dinky's house.

(Flashback)
"Brother did you see they way Pony Ewing shot the ball it was awesome!" said a young Prokun after the basketball game at Madison Oval Garden.

"Yeah but it was too bad the Knicks lost to the Canterlot Cowcolts." said Highflyer rubbing his little brother head they walk towards home but suddenly Highflyer heard something and was on his guard. "Prokun stay behind me." said Highflyer his instincts starting to kick in then like a flash of lightning a changeling came out.

"You my friend are a smart pegasus no ordinary one would detect me that fast." said the changeling with a devilish smile on his face the changeling charged at Highflyer and they fought just when Highflyer had the upper hand...he trips and changeling had him on the ground "You did your best...but." the changeling leaned forward "It's time to die." Highflyers eyes widen.

"No!" The changeling took off Highflyers head.

"No! Highflyer!" he runs to his brother's head and stares at his head "No... NOOOO!"
(End of flashback)

I lose concentration and I end up crashing into a tree I get down from the tree and start to walk the rest of the way.

"Prokun! Prokun!" I look over to see my niece Snowshine she looked scared.

"What's wrong? what happened?"

"Me and mommy were walking and we were attacked by Sun Bolt." Sun Bolt I hated him first he got my sister pregnant when she was only seventeen I put Snowshine on my back and we fly to where my sister was then I see Sun Bolt beating my sister I put Snowshine near a tree

"Stay here snd don't move okay?" she nodded I spread my wings and flew over to Sun Bolt a Sonic boom formed behind me and I punch Sun Bolt in the face, He was sent flying, he got up

"This isn't your business kid go back home...oh Luna...Great it's you" he then realized it was me and he bolted to me I uppercutted him and he was sent flying again.

"Leave her ALONE!" He scoffs then goes after me for one more attack I wind up and punch him strait in the face he was sent flying to the tree Snowshine was at he slowly got up and started limping away

"This isn't over punk!" I ignore him and look over to my sister I run over to her and took her pulse.

"No...NO! NOOOO!" I cry over my sister's dead body then I realized I had to call the police so I did and a couple minutes later which felt like an eternity they arrive and check her body after trying to save her they put a cover over her body, my friends then arrive to the scene Dinky hugged me then Snowshine was in my arms crying soon we all were hugging Button said.

"I hate my cousin." I look up at him.

"Your cousin caused this!" I tackled Button then my brother's death came back to me I get off him and I sit next to my sister's dead body "I'm sorry sis, i'm sorry I didn't spend enough time with you tell you I love you." Snowshine sat next to me

"Daddy?" I had to take care of Snowshine and Shao now I have to be the father figure now I look at my Phone it's 4:27 I walk over and turn on the radio in my bag that I installed just in case mom took away my Ipony Vinyl came on.

"Hey it's DJ Pon3 and I got a good one for you it's by my friend and protege Prokun Star hope you enjoy it Stay With Me." the song plays I sit down and listen to me sing I was happy my song was on the radio but it didn't mean anything...I lost my sister.

"I hope you like it sis... I hope you like it..."

"Sis! I hate you! Why do you have to leave?" I cry looking at my pregnant sister she sighs

"I have to Prokun for my baby and for mom she can't handle another baby in the house...come here." she hugs me I cry more

"I'm going to miss you sis...I love you." she wipes off my face.

"Be strong and protect mom okay?" I sniffle

"Okay." I give her a hug the last hug I gave her.

(End of Flashback)

I wake up panting and in a cold sweat and sit up in my bed "I need some fresh air." I told myself so I wrote on a piece of paper Dear mom I'm just going out for a walk I will be back at five in the morning. I put it in her room I grab my bag and Ipony and I walk around Ponyville saying hi to Applejack and her Daughter Appleblossom, Rarity, and some fans. I finally arrive at my destination...The Hooves residents I knock on the door.

"Who is it?" asked The Doctor

"It's me Doctor... Prokun..." he opens the door

"Hello Prokun what are you doing here at twelve at night?" he yawns

"Can I talk with you it's kind of important." he knew something was wrong

"Okay what do you want to talk about?"

"My life..." he was surprised to hear me say that

"I think that's something I shouldn't talk to you about but I know who you should." he points upstairs "You have my blessing."

"Thank you Doctor...Thank you." I walk up stairs into the Hallway I sigh "Here we go..." I knock on the door

"Who is it?"

"It's me Prokun." she opens the door

"Hi what's up?" she asked rubbing her eyes

"I want to talk...about my sister and us."

"Okay come in let's talk." she opens the door and lets me in.I sit next to her near the window she turns on the radio it plays a slow soft classical piece by Octavia.

"I wish I could say I love my sister one last time give her a hug one last time...now I have to leave school." she puts her ears down

"I understand you really miss her she was your everything I'm sorry I can't believe you are leaving school I will miss you." I grab a box out of my bag

"Dinky I want you to be my everything I can't raise Snowshine and Shao all by myself I need somepony to support me and I think it's you Dinky you don't have to give me an answer you can go to colle-."

"Yes! YES! I DO!" she jumps on me and kisses me "I love you Prokun."
