Everfree forest, Ruins of the pony sisters castle, throne room, day time



Michael's POV


I don't know why I'm in this situation, first I was angry, confused and betrayed. I escaped from home to see my cousin who lives in Ponyville so I thought that could be a good idea to see her, when I was on the way to Ponyville I got found by three fillies, at that time I was desperate and now I'm here, resting in the ruins of the old pony sisters castle with three passed out fillies on the floor...Why I decided to brought them here with me? I DON'T KNOW!" I thought a little angry about it.


It was raining outside, my shirt and pants were soaked so I took carefully my shirt as I try to dried it squeezing it with my hands, then I left it lying on the throne, maybe I should look for some wood and try to make fire before we get a cold, then I turn to look the fillies and at that time I noticed how the white unicorn one was waking up a little drowsy as she took a sit on the floor. She looks calm at the moment, but that was until she looks up to me...Neither of us make a sound for a minute, but when I open my mouth to talk to her, she let out a loud scream.


"AAAAAAAHHHhh! Is the monster!" scream the filly scared.

"Wait! Please calm down, I'm not a monster, I mean, well, yeah, I may look like one, but I'm not a bad one!" I exclaimed nervous trying to calm the filly.

"Eh?...Why are you screaming Sweetie-Aaaahhh!" screamed the yellow earth filly who has a pink bow that was also waking and look at to my direction, then she quickly embrace the white unicorn with her forelegs and both hug eachother as they tremble scared looking at me.

"Oh great, you two please listen, I'm not gonna-" I try to say but I was interrupted when I look the orange pegasus who was waking up too.

"Girls? Why are you shout-..." try to said the pegasus filly as she also look at me. "Mo-mo-mo-monster!" exclaimed the filly scared as she reacted the same way as the other two fillies and she quickly go and embrace the other fillys as the three were trembling scared of me. 

"No...Please stop." I thought looking to the fillies while I feel the stress in me as I'm getting upset with my hands trembling.

"What are we going do?" said the yellow earth filly worried and trembling.

"Are you going to eat us?" said the white unicorn filly scared.

"Please, don't hurt us mister monster!" said the orange pegasus with teary eyes.

"STOP!..." I screamed stressed and panting silencing the trio of fillies while extending my eight wings. "I'm not gonna eat anypony! And I'm not a bad monster...I'm alone...And I just....I just wanna be with..." I try to explain myself to the fillies in front of me but I didn't even notice that I was already sobbing while tears were coming out from my eyes.


By this point I couldn't take it anymore and I drop on my knees, lowering my head and cover my face with my hands as I cry like a child. I stood like that for a while crying and sobbing while tears were streming down my cheeks, the fillies were in silent looking at me immobile, or that's what I can tell, I wasn't looking at them at that moment, but then, I feel a hoof rubbing my right leg, when look at it, I saw the white unicorn with a small smile on her face looking up at me.


"Shh, it's ok, don't cry." said the unicorn filly trying to comforting me.

"I...I...I sorry!" I exclaim as my instincts took over me and I grab the filly by under her forelegs and caught her in my embrace while I continue sobbing.

"Why I am so weak to this kind of moments? " I thought as I feel the filly's right hoof giving me soft pats on my back.


After that time when a filly who was much younger than myself have comforted me, the four of us remained there for a while as the trio were infront of me while I was still sitting on my knees as we look to each other in silent, is was an awkward moment as I feel the little wings on my head drop down, so being polite I decided to apologize to them.


"I'm very sorry for scare you all, I was surprised at that moment and I didn't think reasonably." I said to them in shame.

"Is ok, we are sorry too." replied the yellow filly smiling.

"We are sorry for saying that you were a monster, real monsters don't feel sorry and cry like you did." said the orange filly. 

"Is ok..." I said feeling a little embarrassed and upset by the last part of what she said. "My name is Michael." I said introducing myself to them.

"My name is Sweetie Belle." said Sweetie Belle the white unicorn.

"I'm Scootaloo." said Scootaloo the orange pegasus smiling.

"And I'm Applebloom, we are..." said Applebloom the yellow earth pony as she smile to me then to her friends.

"The cutie marks crusaders!" exclaimed the trio happily in unison.

"Nice to meet all of you too." I replied smiling and bit excited too.

"Well...Michael, can you tell us why you brought us here?" ask Sweetie Belle.

"I'm deeply sorry about that..." I said lowering my head to them. "I was too scared when you three found me at that time, I don't know what to do when I saw that you were going to scream, so I acted careless and I end up brought you girls all here with me." I explained to them.

"We understand that, but, why here? If this the old castle ruins of the pony sisters? Why you want to come here?" asked Scootaloo to me.

"Well it was an accident, I wasn't planning to come here in the first place, I was in my way to Ponyville." I said to them.

"To Ponyville? Why?" asked Sweetie Belle curious.

"Well...I was...I escaped from home and in Ponyville, my cousin live there, so I was going to ask her if it was ok if I could live with her for a time." I told to them as my little wings on my head drop down again.

"You were running from your home? Why did you do that? Did something happen with your family?" Applebloom asked me concerned about me.

"Well...I just..." I was about to tell but I suddenly stop, I start to sense something at that moment, something was off, like if. "WATCH OUT!" I exclaimed as I jump to the trio of fillies.


At that moment I quickly extended my wings and caught the three fillies in my arms and almost instantly an object falls down at high speed to were I was sitting a moment ago, crushing the ground there as a dust curtain appeared, I was floating on the other side in the throne room with the fillies in my arms, barely we spotted a tall figure rising inside the dust curtain. Just then, this thing move an arm and dissipates with it the dust around and we can clearly took a look of this creature, it was tall with a muscular body, with a green skin, two black horns on it's head, long white hair, ugly and was carrying a bone club with it's right arm, then it look at us and let out a roar intimidating us.


"What is that thing?" asked Applebloom scared.

"I don't know..." I said scared as well while I look around for a way to escape, then I look up to the hole at the ceiling where this thing has came from. "But I'm not gonna find out." I said as I quickly flap my wings to going up and get out the castle using that hole.

"Arg! You aren't going to escape!" exclaimed the creature angry.


When I was about to exit the from of hole in the ceiling, I was surprised when I heard this strange monster talks in angry and scary adult male tone in his voice. At that time, when we were out the castle it was still raining outside, then the monster jump out the castle from the same hole to my direction, he then move his right arm holding the club and swing it to hit me, I barely evaded it as I fly down with great speed, when we were at the ground I continue flying to get out this place to the forest.


"We have to get out the Everfree and find help quick!" I thought as I fly thru the forest.

"Michael you have to hurry!" exclaimed Scootaloo who was looking back.

"Stop running and fight me!" exclaimed the angry voice of the monster that was chasing us while he was getting closer.


I don't have to look back to know what the monster was doing, I can hear the noise he iss doing with the trees, he was using them to boost his jumps, I can't change the direction were I was going or I would get lost in this forest, in fact, I was taking the path I took when I come here in the first place. It took me time while I was evading this stubborn monster, but in the end, I was able to finally get out of the Everfree just in time, but  was out of ideas of what to do next and without any other choice as I heard the creature roars coming closer, I decided then to go to Ponyville and find help.

We then passed the bridge and entered in the town, at that moment I just has one place to go in my mind: The library, if I remember correctly from I was told, it was a house in a tree somewhere in this town. As I look for it around, luckily I noticed that there wasn't ponies around because of the rain, but I think the monster will call their attention soon when he enters the town. And speaking of the devil, he didn't took him too much time in entering the town, he with a sole jump he was like 5 meters of distance of me at my back as I turn to look at him.


"You aren't going to let me go right?" I thought looking around and finally I spotted the tree house when I look behind me, I smile as I was about to go there but.

"Haouken!" exclaimed the monster.


Suddenly, a dark magic ball was shot from the monster's left punch and passed a side from my right and end up impacting and destroying a fruits stall. I turn around to see the monster and he has a smirk on his face, he has failed on purpose, this is bad, I was thinking on let the fillies go to the library as I distract the monster since it seems that he only wants me, but I never expected that he can also attack from the distance, if I let them go he will use them to attack me, this is so frustrating.


"What that hay is happening here?!" exclaimed a male voice from above, when I look up to my right I saw from a house a grey stallion with a blue mane looking at us from a window of his house.

"Wait don't come-" I try to say but I was interrupted.


The green monster smiles mischievously and shout his attack again and from his left punch shots another dark magic ball at that stallion's house. Luckily, the stallion reacted just in time and hide in his house while he quickly closed his window and the same thing happened again, this time on the stallion's window, making a big hole in the house, the stallion was safe when we saw him taking a peek from the hole and quickly hide again scared while other ponies from their houses take a look of what was happening outside, just at that moment I saw the monster's evil expression again as I know what he was going to do.


"Stop! Leave them alone!" I exclaimed angry to the monster.

"Then fight me...Haouken!" said the monster mischievously, trying to provoke me, while he attacks to the ponies houses again.


He shoots succesfully four times to the houses while the trio of fillies in my arms and I watch to the monster attacking the houses. By this point I can't take it anymore and I leave the fillies on the ground as I fly with a great speed, full of anger to the monster, the fillies call my name while I was going at the monster while preparing my right arm and give him a punch on his face while he was distracted in his assault, sadly when he took my attack it seems it hadn't any effect on him as he look at me dissapointed while I was astonished by this.


"Pathetic..." said the monster while with his left arm he hit me so hard on my head that I fell slamming to the ground in front of him. "Too weak, weaklings like you deserve to disappear." said the monster as he look down to me.


I was trying to look up to the monster but I was getting dizzy, the punch that he just gave me was so strong that it even left me in this state, my vision was becoming blurry too, I'm gonna faint? If that happens then this guy will kill me? I'm gonna die? No, I have to do something, if I at least I could have a weapon with me, maybe I could defend myself properly. Before I could think in something to do, the monster lift his club over his head to crush my body with it, but suddenly, a blue body fly at hight speed and hit the monster on the belly sending him to fly away infront of me until he end up crashing to the wall of a house.


"What the?..." I said as I look around with my sight and found the blurred purple body of a pony coming to my direction, even at this state I can still recognized who was this pony. "Twi-Twilight?" I said weakly.

"Michael, are you ok? Don't worry we take-" Twilight try to say but she was suddenly interrupted.

"Arg!" exclaim the monster angry.


When I turn to see the monster I saw his blurred figure trying to fight a blue flying body that looks like pegasus, but this one was more faster as I can see how easily evades the monster attacks as he is trying to hit the pegasus with his bone club. While this was happening, Twilight gently lift my body with her magic as she was bringing me to the library, then we heard an angry roar following by a female scream, when we turn to see what happened, we saw the blue pegasus being send a way to the ground, it looks like the monster with his roar, he created a sonic wave strong enough to hit the pegasus, then we saw him looking at our direction.


"Stop there with my prey!" exclaimed the monster angrier than before.


Twilight hurry her way while carrying me with her magic as the monster starts to chase us, it doesn't take too much time for him to reach us as he lift his club with the intention to hit Twilight. at that last moment before Twilight could react, a shining pillar of light fell from the sky and caught the monster in an instant, the light glow was increasing as the seconds passed and both Twilight and I could hear the monster screaming of pain while it was trapped inside of it. When the light dissipated, it shows the body of the monster trembling with burn injuries on his body, it doesn't take much until he finally fell on the ground.

We were safe at last, or that's what I thought as I feel the pain in my body and the tiredness that I got from the chase of before were finally over taking me, before I lost my consciousness, I heard the sound of flapping wings coming from above to where Twilight and I where standing, then I took a brief peek and I saw the blurry image of a familiar white alicorn descending upon in front us.


"Oh buck me." I thought as my vision got black and finally fell unconscious.








Hudson family house, fourteen years ago, morning time



Michael's POV



I was starting to wake up that morning of sunday, with the blanket still over my head, I take it off as I took a seat on my bed then I let out a yawn while with my right hand I start rub my right eye, I was still drowsy, then I look to my clock on my table that was a side on my bed and saw that it was around the 8:30 am. At this moment I stand out my bed and put my slippers on, I walk out my bedroom wearing my blue pajamas as I go to the bathroom, after using the toilet I go to the sink to wash my face and brushing my teeth, I go back to my room to change my clothes.

Hi everyone, my name's Michael Hudson and today I'm 7 years old, that's right today is my birthday. I walked to my wardrobe and take a look at my reflection in the mirror, looking to my short black hair, blue eyes and my white skin as I smile, then I open the wardrobe to change my clothes to a red shirt and a blue shorts, then I go out my bedroom to see my parents.

When I was out of my bedroom, I go to see my parents and I found them in the kitchen, my mom was serving coffe to my dad who was sitting on his seat at the kitchen's table while reading the newspaper. My dad's name is Tony Hudson, he was wearing a brown long sleeve shirt, with his blue pants and glasses, he has short black hair and green eyes, he told me that I look like him when he was at my age. My mom, Jolie Hudson, was wearing a yellow dress with a pink apron, she has a tied brown long hair with blue eyes, she seems to have been working in the kitchen as I look how dirty was her apron.

I walked to my parents and they immediately greeted me and happily hug me. After that, my parents told me to go outside in our garden, they told me to go to the garden, that there was a surprise for me, I do what I was told and found there in the garden that everything was ready for my birthday party, the decorations, appetizers, games, a piñata and of course a cake. Everything has the theme of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, yeah that's right, my parents and I are fans of the show, in fact when I was born, they named me Michael for Michelangelo or Mikey from the show, as it was their favorite turtle.

After a few hours passed, family and friends were to coming to our house so the following hours were for celebrating my birthday, while the adults were busy talking, the kids were playing together, it was a lots of fun and it was like that for the rest of the day. When the party was over, around the 8:00pm, everyone has already retired to their respective homes as I help my parents cleaning everything, I help my mother retrieving the dishes as I carrying them to the kitchen as she wash them, while my dad was cleaning the garden outside. Then, we have our dinner and later on it was time for go to sleep, tomorrow I was going to school so I put my pajamas as both my parents come to my room and gave me their goodnights as I lied on my bed to sleep.

But, moments later when I close my eyes and fell sleep, I start to feel something warm on my right hand, I woke up when I feel it hot as I took a seat on my bed, then I saw that on the skin of my right hand was a strange tattoo of a red simbol on it that looks like a red chandelier, the most strange thing of this is that it also was glowing red. I would lie is I say that I wasn't scared of this, In fact I was terrified, I quickly try to rub off this thing of my hand, I don't know who did this or how this thing appeared but I don't want it. 

The glowing was growing and covering my hand as I feel like if it was burning me under my skin, of course at this point I was in tears by the pain, but when I was about to turn to my bedroom's door and call my parents for help, my body doesn't move a bit, in fact I even stopped rubbing my hand, I try to scream but neither, my mouth doesn't move, it was like if my body was petrified. Then the red glow starts to run from my hand to all over my body covering me entirely as I closed my eyes in despair, the last thing I know was that a flash sound that I heard, just before my mind got blank.








Unknown location



Michael's POV


I don't know how much time has passed after what happened to me in my bedroom, but when I woke up I found myself in dark and strange place, it was very tight and uncomfortable too, like if I was encaged in something. Also my body feels strange, I can't even feel my arms or feet it wasn't like what happened in my bedroom when I was petrified since I can still feel my body when I try to move, maybe I'm still stunned on those parts of my body, also I feel something on my back that was pressed on the walls of this place, but I was getting too desperate and scare to think about it.


"Mom! Dad! Please! Somebody help me!" I screamed from where I was calling for my parents.


I called for my mom and dad for good amount of time but nobody comes to my help, by this point I fall into despair while tears were coming out my eyes as I cry trapped alone in that dark and tight place. Just then, I feel like something has push me from the outside, I was so confused for that, then I try look for what it was as I try to force my body in this prision and suddenly I heard a cracking sound and bits of light were entering in my prision. Happyness was taking over me, I can go out of here, then I force my body more until finally, I break my prision and I was free.

When I was outside, I look around infront of me and saw bushes, flowers and a few trees, this looks like somekind of garden, but there was one small detail, everything around me was huge, like if everything was like 5 times bigger than the normal. I was starting to get scare but then, I feel something touching my back and when I turn around to look for what has touched me, I found two big strange white things infront of me, but when I look up, I discovered that these things were actually the forelegs of a huge white unicorn with wings and that has a strange multicolor mane that moves on like if it was waving, the white unicorn was looking down at me surprised, then it lower it's head closer to me.


"What...Are you?" asked the winged unicorn with a female mature voice as she sounds confused while she looks at me.

Canterlot’s royal castle, royal garden, day time




Michael’s POV



This was so strange, after getting out of my ‘prision’ I found myself outside in a big world or maybe I’m small. But, there was no time to explore this place because I got found by huge winged white unicorn with a multicolored mane, it was female as I heard her speak to me with the voice of a lady, at this moment her face was infront of me looking at me with a curious and confused expression, me on the other hand, I was so scared, if she gonna eat me? Crush my body with her hoofs? Why this was happening to me? I just want to be with my mom and dad.


“Ple-please…Do-don’t hurt me.” I said to the winged unicorn trembling with fear as I feel my eyes teary.


The winged unicorn just stood there looking at me, when she heard my voice she got a concerned and sad expression on her face, she then opened her mouth to talk again, but just before she was about to say something, we both heard a voice coming from behind the winged unicorn.


“Princess Celestia, is everything ok? Can I come out from here?" I said the voice of a little girl, I try to look for the girl and I from where I was and saw some bushes moving behind the winged unicorn.

“Yes Twilight, you can come here, everything is safe.” said the winged unicorn that now I know her name was Princess Celestia.


A few moments after Princess Celestia replied to the little girl, from the bushes come out a small purple unicorn with a dark blue mane that trot in my direction and stood a side of Princess Celestia, this small unicorn was looking down to me with a curious and surprised look on her face, she also was wearing something at her sides that looks like a backpack, this unicorn, ‘Twilight’ as Princess Celestia has call her was taller than me and after a few moments of silent, she turns to see Princess Celestia.


“Princess Celestia, what is this? This little creature has to do something with that light we saw moments ago?” asked Twilight to Princess Celestia calling my attention.

“Cre-creature? What are you talking about? A light? What do you mean?” I asked to these two as I lost the fear as it turns into curiosity as they just stay there looking at me.

“I think so, it looks like it have come from that egg.” said Princess Celestia as she points with her hoof to me.

“What egg?...” I said as I turn around to look for it and saw the pieces of a egg with orange stripes on it. “What is this?” I said confused as I feel the stress coming back.

“Oh look Princess, it even has little wings on its back.” I heard Twilight said.

“Wings?...” I try to look to my body and noticed a terrible fact. “Where are my arms? Where are my legs?...” I said desperate while trembling as I saw that my body was missing of those parts and I also noticed that my skin was now pure white. “What’s happening to me? I want my mommy and daddy!!!” I exclaimed while I turn to Princess Celestia and Twilight as I close my eyes and start to crying in sorrow. 

“Oh…poor little thing…” I heard Princess Celestia said, then I feel something grabbing my small body and lift me from the ground as I start to feel warm while I was being gently rub. “Shhh, shhh, everything is ok now.” I heard Princess Celestia said to me.


I feel something warm around my body comforting me while I was still crying it was not after a few minutes that my crying become a sobbing, at this moment I opened my eyes and I saw Princess Celestia's face looking me with a warm reassuring smile, she has been carrying me infront of her chest this entire time using her strange multicolored mane, I don’t know how that works but it was helping me to calm down, as she looks down to me with smiling I don't know why I was feeling safe in her mane.


“What should we do Princess?” said Twilight with a worried tone on her voice.

“I don’t know my dear student, but for now let’s go to the castle.” said Princess Celestia to Twilight.


After saying this, Princess Celestia was carrying my body with her mane as she walks in a direction to get out of this garden, Twilight was following us too as she walks closer behind of Princess Celestia. When were walking out of this garden I saw a enormous building, it looks pretty, if this was the castle that these two were talking about? At that time, we passed to some horses wearing golden armors, if Celestia is a princess, then maybe these horses with armors are her guards? Princess Celestia then told to these two to clean and retrieve the pieces of the thing that was...My egg, she also told them to go and check a place call it the sculpture garden, to see if something happened at that place and inform her about, I don't know what she means with that but, the guards just nod and go to do what they had been told.

When the horses left, we continue our way until we entered in the castle. I was amazed in how huge was everything here inside this castle, making me feel even smaller as we continue the way in the hallways until we reached to a huge and spacious room, at the end of this place at the front I saw some stairs that lead to a throne with two guards down the stairs guarding, Princess Celestia and Twilight walk their way to the throne but Princess Celestia stops to look to the guard of the left, and she said to the guard the very less word I want to hear at this moment: 'Doctor', the guard then nods and leave the room.

When I heard that word my body starts to tremble in fear, is a doctor right? When he or she comes to see me they are going use a syringe to take blood out of me and I hate it, those needless hurts soo much. I look up to Princess Celestia who was still carrying me and I beg her with my teary eyes to not take me to a doctor, but she only smiles to me and gently rub me on the top of my head with her left hoof to calm me, why she doesn't understand me?

As the time pass, Princess Celestia took a seat on the throne and Twilight was sitting a side of her as we wait. I don't know how much time has passed, but the same guard who has left, returned saying that the doctor were waiting in a room. By this point I was struggling to break free of Princess Celestia's mane, but she was way more stronger than me as we all go to the room where the doctor was waiting, when we reached infront of that room, only Princess Celestia and I entered in, at that moment I decided to hide in Princess Celestia's mane, then I took a peek and saw that it was a clean room with all the tools that I seem before when I visited my doctor in the past, then I saw another unicorn, this one was yellow with a green mint mane, he was wearing a doctor jacket with glasses as he smile to Princess Celestia, I also noticed that at his flank has a tattoo of a rose with that tool that use the doctors to hear your heart.


"Thank you for coming here, Doctor Roses, I hope that I didn't interrupted your schedule, but this was an emergency." said Princess Celestia to Doctor Roses.

"Please I don't want to be here." I plead to Princess Celestia looking up to her face while she was talking to the doctor, named Roses.

"Is understandable your highness, it is a doctor's duty to help when he is needed so don't worry, my companions can manage the hospital while I'm here..." said Doctor Roses smiling to Princess Celestia. "Now about this emergency that you have told me about, it has something to do with what you have been carrying there  your highness?" asked Doctor Roses.

"There is nothing bad here, please just go home." I replied in my 'hiding place fearful.

"Here it is." said Princess Celestia as she show me to Doctor Roses while still carrying me in her mane.

"I..." said Doctor Roses astonished looking at me with his mouth open for a while until. "This...What kind of creature is this?" said Doctor Roses regaining the composure as he looks to Princess Celestia.

"Well that's the reason why I called you here doctor, even I, don't know what kind of creature is this little one." said Princess Celestia to Doctor Roses.

"I see, well, let's bring it to the table so we can start the checkup." replied Doctor Roses.

"What?! No I don't want to!" I exclaimed while struggling.


When I heard Doctor Roses's last words, I began to hyperventilate scared as I try to escape from Princess Celestia's mane, but when Princess Celestia was about to drop me on the table, instead of breaking free of her grasp like I have been trying to do moments ago, now I was trying my best to stay in her mane, but in the end she got to drop me on the table, at this point I quickly look back to Princess Celestia begging her to save me from the doctor as I start to cry in despair. Princess Celestia look to my reaction and for some reason at that moment, she got a shocked and worried look on her face, she then quickly lift me back on her mane off the table and starts to gently caress me to calm me down. 


"Shhh, shhh, everything is ok little one, I'm here with you right now..." said Princess Celestia in a reassuring tone as she stay like that with me until I finally calm down, when she looks back to Doctor Roses, she noticed that he was looking at her surprised by her reaction. "Eh? I...I think that, I mean." said Princess celestia nervous with a blush on her face, trying to understand what happened a moment ago.

"Your highness, can you tell me what happened when you found this creature?" asked Doctor Roses confused with the situation.

"Very well, you see doctor..." Princess Celestia said as she began to tell to Doctor Roses how she and Twilight found me at the garden. "And that's wha happened, I need your help know what is this little one." said Princess Celestia looking down to me concerned.

"I see, we need to do a full checkup then, but this time, I think I will need your help your highness." said Doctor Roses looking at me with a small smile.

"Eh? No!..." I exclaimed fearful and then I look to Princess Celestia. "Please don't let him do it." I plead to Princess Celestia.

"I see..." said Princess Celestia who nods to the doctor and looks down to me. "Is ok, I be here with you."  Princess Celestia told me with a warm smile.


With that said, Princess Celestia brought me back on the table, with the difference that I was still on her mane as she remained close to me on the table, I was still scared but with her here with me I feel more secure. Doctor Roses then began to work, for a moment I thought that he was going to stick a needle in me, but instead he was just checking out my body, treating me with care, when it was over, Princess Celestia lift me again off the table as we both look to Doctor Roses who now has a serious expression on his face.


"So...What's the verdict doctor?" ask Princess Celestia a little worried in her tone.

"Well..." said Doctor Roses as he sigh. "I really don't know." said Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"Excuse me?" said Princess Celestia confused.

"I don't know what kind of creature is, by the story that you have told me, the chirping sounds that it made and the fact that it has wings, at first I thought that it was some kind of bird, but is not." said Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"Chirping sounds? You mean that I have been only making bird sounds this entire time? That's explains why nobody understand me when I talk to them." I said realizing the problem with my voice.

"Also, it can't be a new species of dragon, it doesn't have scales since its skin is too soft and it doesn't even have any kind of teeth, I gonna suppose that is because that is still a newborn, also there is this part too..." said Doctor Roses as he touched with his right hoof something that I feel that was on my forehead. "This thing here, I thought that it was a horn, but this has its white skin and also is soft, my verdict is your highness, that this little creature is an entire new species." said Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"An entire new species? But, what I should do about it Doctor?" ask Princess Celestia to Doctor Roses.

"Well that's also another problem, do you know the behavior of some newborn creatures from eggs, like the birds?" ask Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"What do you mean?" ask Princess Celestia a little confused.

"For what I have seen of this little creature's behavior with you and with what you have told me in your story, this creature has acknowledged you as its mother." said Doctor Roses with a small smile. 

"What?!" exclaimed Princess Celestia and I in unison.

"That's right, since your highness were the first living creature that its saw after it was born, it recognized you as its mother, that could explain why it seems to be attached to you and why it doesn't want to leave your side." explained Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"That...That can't be true, I mean, I have my mom already...But, Princess Celestia seems to be nice with me." I said to Doctor Roses but I remembered that he can't understand me as I have those conflicting feelings in my mind.

"So what can we do doctor?" ask Princess Celestia.

"Well your highness, you can give it to a zoology institute for studying it, but, it will be too cruel for the little creature, because of what I already told you." replied Doctor Roses.

"What?! No! I don't want that, I'm not an animal, I don't want to be put in a cage!" I exclaimed both angry and scared.

"I see." said Princess Celestia looking down to me with a concerned look on her face.

"Please don't send me to that place." I said to Princess Celestia, begging her with teary eyes, I really disliked the idea of the institute and also, for some reason I hate the idea of being apart of Princess Celestia, maybe what the doctor said is right?

"I...I..." said Princess Celestia looking at me worried as she closed her eyes for a moment, then she opened her eyes and nods to me with a smile. "Doctor...I will take care of this little one here." said Princess Celestia determinated  to Doctor Roses.

"Are you sure your highness? I mean, you don't know what could happen to this creature on the future." said Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia.

"I know what you mean doctor, but look at it..." said Princess Celestia as she show me to Doctor Roses. "This little one here just have been born and is all alone, it needs somepony who can take care of it and I also really in need of-" said Princess Celestia as she suddenly stops at the last part.

"You need what, your highness?" asked Doctor Roses confused.

"Nothing nothing..." said Princess Celestia nervous while giggling a bit. "What I mean is that I will take responsability of this little one." said Princess Celestia looking down to with a warm smile.

"Very well your highness, since everything is ok, then I will be going back to the hospital." said Doctor Roses with a smile as he nods to Princess Celestia.

"By the way, Doctor what can it eat? Also, is female or male, I don't want to call it little one all time." said Princess Celestia curious as she lift me over her face to see my body from below.

"Hey don't look!" I exclaimed upset and embarrassed.

"Well I'm not sure what gender it is, you maybe have to wait until it need to do its needs, about what can eat, since it doesn't have any teeth yet, I recommend you to try babyfood." said Doctor Roses to Princess Celestia who nods in replied.


After that, before Doctor Roses retired to go back to the hospital, Princess Celestia told him to not say a thing about today and keep the secret of my existence, after that Princess Celestia come out the room with me still being carried in her mane and we reunited with Twilight who was waiting for us outside. Then suddenly my tummy starts to growl as I look to Princess Celestia and ask her for food, good thing that she doesn't need to understand me to know what I want right now since she heard my tummy's growl. The three of us walk thru the castle until we entered to a place that looks like a big kitchen, the chefs were all horses and when they saw Princess Celestia entered in the kitchen, everyone began to bow to her, I try to not pay attention to this.

When this...'Show' was over, Princess Celestia ordered to a chef to prepare some babyfood for me and after a while the same chef comes back carrying a plate with my food in it, as he was carrying it on his right hoof. With this, Princess Celestia walks, still carrying me, to the closer table and sit on a chair and Twilight do the same as she took a seat a side of her, then suddenly, I saw how the horn of Princess Celestia got a golden glow and I saw that my dish also has this glow and the plate levitated from the chef's right hoof to the table infront of me, I was amazed with the sight, if she has super powers? Or maybe it was magic? Before I could try wonder what just happened, Princess Celestia used her golden glow to levitated the spoon to my food and it move closer to my mouth.


"Here it is little one, open wide." said Princess Celestia smiling to me.

"I don't like being fed like this, but I don't have other choice..." I thought opening my mouth as the spoon enter in it and I eat the babyfood. "Is so yummy!" I thought while tasting the warm, soupy and sweet taste that have this food.

"Hehehe, it seen that it like it." said Princess Celestia  giggling as she give me more babyfood.

"It looks so happy eating it, Princess Celestia, can I try to feed it please?" said Twilight excited while she smiles to Princess Celestia.

"Sure, just be careful with it." replied Princess Celestia.


Then at that moment I saw it again, Twilight was doing the same thing that Princess Celestia do to levitate the spoon, but with the difference that her glow was purple as she feed me, at this point I try to not think much about it, besides I was enjoying my food. When my tummy was full, Princess Celestia decided that it was time go to her room, so the three of us go tru the castle to her bedroom walking for a while until we were finally infront of her room's door. Princess Celestia opened the door and I was amazed with the sight of her bedroom, it was so fancy the decoration, like in those disney movies, then Princess Celestia go to her huge bed and left me on it, this bed feels so nice that I couldn't resist the impulse and I began to roll on it, not paying attention to my surroundings.


"Looks like is having fun." said Twilight giggling. 

"It seems so, Twilight, I have some duties to do, can you stay here with the little one until I'm done, please?" asked Princess Celestia to Twilight.

"Sure Princess, you can leave it to me, I will do my best to watch it over." said Twilight smiling diligently to Princess Celestia.

"Thank you Twilight, I be back soon." said Princess Celestia with a smile as she leaves the room.


Then after a few minutes I stop rolling on the bed and I noticed that Princess Celestia was not here anymore, but I also noticed that Twilight was still here with me, watching me. It was an awkward moment for me since Twilight just stay there looking at me with a small smile without saying a word, like if she was waiting for me to do something, I was getting a bit bored as I look around the room and saw that there at the my left at the distance was a mirror on a table, now that I thought about it, I wasn't able to look at my body well, then I turn to see to Twilight, for a brief moment I saw her face with a bored expression as she smile again when I see her, I think she is getting bored of not doing anything right now, but first I want to do something.


"Eh, Twilight right? Listen, can you help me go to that mirror over there please?" I asked to Twilight as I turn my body in the direction to the table and look back to Twilight.

"Huh? Do you want something little one? Do you want to play something?" asked Twilight to me with an anxious tone.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that I can't speak, how I can tell her this?" I thought thinking how I can let her know what I want.


I just stood there on the bed for a while thinking in how to tell to Twilight that I want to go to the mirror, if I only could move properly, right now I only can roll and turn around, maybe if I try to roll my body to the table's direction I can make Twilight know what I want.  At this point I try to roll my body to the edge of the bed but I was careless and I end up rolling too much this time.


"Ahhhh!" I screamed as I fell off the bed to the floor.

"Watch out!" exclaimed Twilight worried.


Luckily before my body could hit the floor, I was caught in Twilight's purple glow, for a second I thought that I was done for sure, then I turn around too see my savior and I saw Twilight who sighs in relieve knowing that I was safe, but then her face turns into a stern as she was looking at me, then she levitated me back to the bed and put me on it.


"Listen little one, I don't know what you were thinking, but that was too reckless from you, don't do it again ok?" said Twilight scolding me

"I'm sorry Twilight." I said looking down feeling bad for what I did, again I forgot that she can't understand me.

"Good, now, you seem to want to go to that table right? Do you want me to help you reach to it?" asked Twilight to me.

"Wow..." I thought surprised looking at her. "I thought that she wouldn't understand what I said, or maybe she is smarter than I thought." I thought as I nod to Twilight.

"I see, here let me help you then..." said Twilight as she levitated me and left me on the table infront of the mirror. "There, don't touch Princess Celestia stuff ok?" said Twilight to me with a smile as I saw her reflection in the mirror.


At that time I can finally have a proper view of my new body, my eyes were pitch black like the ones of a shark, except that my eyes actually looks cute, I don't have a nose but for some weird reason I can still breathe and smell, I have something on my forehead that looks like a horn and of course, I don't have any limps except for a pair of little yellow wings on my back. That give me the idea that if I have wings, that means that I can fly, I thought excited about it and after a while, I try make my wings to move, but barely I got to flapping them, well maybe if I grow I would be able to fly, then I look back to my reflection in the mirror.


"I have never seen an animal like this before, I look so...Adorable, good thing that the girls from my school can't see me like this or I will be doom for sure." I thought while looking at my reflection.

"You know, you seem to be pretty smart for a baby..." said Twilight as I turn to look at her. "I mean, you seem to be able to understand my words, do you?" said Twilight with curious but intriged look on her face.

"Eh, yeah I do understand you." I said nodding to Twilight.

"You do really understand me? That's so awesome!..." said Twilight as she exclaimed excited. "Do you know other things? I mean, yeah you just had born today, I shouldn't ask you things like that, maybe we could do something else..." said Twilight giggling a bit with a small blush on her face. "Oh yeah I know, what do you say if I read you a story?" suggested Twilight as she check her 'sidesbag' as she took out a book and she show it to me smiling.

"Sure!" I exclaimed happily nodding to Twilight.


After that, Twilight stayed with me reading stories from her book for as the hours passed until finally Princess Celestia come back to her bedroom. At the moment when Princess Celestia entered to the room she smiles and giggles with the scene she found: Twilight was sleeping on the bed as I was at her side with Twilight's book infront of us. Princess Celestia then wakes Twilight because is was time for her to go home, but Twilight before she left, she told me that tomorrow she will come to play with me after her lessons, It was a fun and entertaining time that I had with Twilight when she read me that book, after she said goodbye to us, she then left to her home, leaving me alone with Princess Celestia.

The time passed fast, because before I know it, it was night time and it was dinner time already, Princess Celestia requested to eat in her bedroom as some horses wearing fancy white and black clothes entered to her bedroom bringing the food, while Princess Celestia was being serve, she was feeding me with that delicious and sweet babyfood. When we finished our dinner it was time for us to sleep, Princess Celestia then carried my body to a small bed that she have prepared for me a side closer to her bed, she also prepared herself to sleep and before turns off the lights she a blanket over me and gave me the goodnights.

But at night, alone in my small bed I woke up and start to crying in an inconsolable sorrow, it was because of me remembering my parents, wanting to be with them as tears were streaming on my cheeks. Princess Celestia of course, sdoesn't take her too much to wake up and she quickly go to my side and lift me in her mane to comforts me, she stayed like that for a hour until I was finally sobbing with my face clinging to her chest, at this point the warmness I was feeling was making me sleepy again, Princess Celestia noticed this as she  lied on her bed with me under her neck as I feel her soft fur.


"Sleep well little one, I'm here for you." Princess Celestia said to me in a soft tone in her voice.

"Mommy..." I said as I closed my eyes and fell in the worlds of dreams.







Canterlot royal castle, Princess Celestia' bedroom, morning time


Celestia's Pov


I began to wake up, last night the little creature that I decided to take care suddenly began to cry in the middle of the night, it was not after a hour that I finally managed to calm it down, at that moment I decided to sleep a side of  the little one, just in case, luckily it was the right choice, it do not cry anymore for the rest of the night, I think that the poor little thing was feeling alone. At this moment I believe that it was around the 6:00am, it was time to rise the sun, I still feel drowsy, so I move the blanket over to cover the little one as I stood off the bed yawning and go to the balcony in my room, I open the doors to go outside and use my magic to bring a new day to Equestria.


"Is time for another bright day." I thought smiling as I saw the sun rising with my magic until it was set.


Then I returned to my bedroom to prepare myself for my duties, I was thinking in waking up the little one, I don't think I can't leave it alone so it will have to stay with me on the day, not like the idea discomfort me, quite the opposite, the little creature bring me a joy that I didn't have felt in years. But before I could giggle about my thoughts, I heard a sound coming from my bed, looks like the little one is waking up too.


"Good morning little one, I hope that I didn't disturbed your sleep." I said smiling as I walk to my bed.


But then, I saw the bump on my bed covered with my blanket where I supposed was the little one under it, rises to a height taller than the small creature that is supposed to be sleeping in that place.  I was stunned, but just a moment after I saw how it took off the blanket and there, sitting on my bed was a not so small white creature with small yellow wings, with pink claws and feets rubbing its eyes.


"Good morning." said the creature drowsy with the voice of a young colt while still rubbing his eyes.

"Eeeeek!" I shrieked astonished and scared.

"What happened with my little one?" I thought trying to understand what is happening.

Canterlot royal castle, Princess Celestia's room, morning time


Michael's POV


Man, what a weird dream I had last night, I dreamed that I have become a strange small white creature, that I was in some huge castle and there was some big and strange horses too, my friends will call me crazy when I could tell them at school. I was still sleepy on my bed with my blanket over me, for some reason my bed feels so soft and nice than usual that I really don't want to get up, I want to remain here in the comfort of my bed, but suddenly, a light entered in my room disturbing my sleep and for how much confortable that my bed was, this light was so annoying that I couldn't continue sleeping and I start to wake up, then at that time I heard the voice of a lady saying good morning to me but I was still too drowsy to recognize this voice, maybe it was mom that come here to wake me up for school,  at this moment I took a seat on my bed and take off my blanket while I rub my eyes.


"Good morning." I said drowsy to my mom while I was rubbing my eyes.

"Eeeek!" I heard the familiar voice of a lady scream of fear.

"Huh? Mom?" I said confused, I noticed that it was not my mom's voice, then I opened my eyes.


When I look around to my surroundings, I noticed that I wasn't in my bedroom anymore, in fact, I was in the same bedroom of Princess Celestia from my dream and I was on her bed, then while I was there, I was remembering everything that happened.


"It was not a dream? It can't be true right? If this is real, then that means that I...That I'm now a...That my mom and dad...And, and that..." I thought as I put my hands on my head while I start to tremble in fear.

"Little one? Is that you?..." said the voice of Princess Celestia with a worried tone as I turn to look at her face who looks both confused and scared, I just slowly nod in replied. "But-but how? What happened to you?" asked Princess Celestia concerned.

"Huh?..." I said confused, but then at that moment I look to my body and noticed the changes, now I have arms and legs, my skin was still pure white, in my hands I have three pink nails that move like my fingers and my legs looks like the ones of a rabbit, I would be happy knowing that I have arms and legs now, if it wasn't for the fact that I was so startled, worried and scared for this sudden changes in my body, at the same time I quickly turn to look back to Princess Celestia. "I...I...I don't know! I want my mommy and daddy! Waaah!" I exclaimed and at this point I couldn't take it anymore as I close my eyes and I start to cry in despair for my parents as the tears flow from my eyes.


After a few moments, I heard the sound of Princess Celestia's hoofs on the floor as she comes closer to the bed and she quickly but gently, lift me of the bed and caught me in a hug with her forelegs, I was now in her caring embrace with my face buried against the soft fur of her chest while I was there crying.​ I heard her said that everything was ok and that she was here with me, I don't know why but her words seems to help me to calm down a bit as I hug her back while she was holding me and the two of us stay like that for a while.  The time passed and my crying stopped, becoming just briefs and quiet sobs as Princess Celestia still have me in between her forelegs while she was sitting on the floor, then suddenly we heard a knock at the door of the bedroom.


"Princess Celestia? We heard somepony crying, Is everything ok in there?" said the voice of a young woman at the other side of the door.

"Yes, everything is fine, I will come out in a while..." replied Princess Celestia to the person who was at the door as I look up to her, she then look down to me with a warm and gentle smile on her face. "Are you ok now little one?" asked Princess Celestia to me.

"Uh huh..." I said with a nod feeling a bit better. "Thank you." I said to Princess Celestia.

"I'm glad to heard that, now, it seems that something is bothering you, can you tell me about it?" said Princess Celestia to me.

"Well, you see..." I said as I start telling to Princess Celestia my story, who I was, where I come from, my parents and finally whatever happened to me that night, in all this time I was looking down to the floor and then when I finished telling her my story I look up to Princess Celestia. "And that's my story." I said and I noticed the sadness on Princess Celestia's face when she listened my story. 

"Oh you poor little thing..." said Princess Celestia as she embrace me more to her chest. "Little on-I mean, Michael right? Don't worry, everything is going to be ok." said Princess Celestia with a reassuring smile on her face.

"Really? Are you gonna help me go back home with my parents?" I said with a bright smile,  hoping for Princess Celestia's answer to be a yes.

"I...I..." said Princess Celestia a bit nervous for some reason until she sigh and look to me. "I will, Michael, I promise you that I will find a way to send you back to your world." said Princess Celestia with a small smile.

"Thank you Princess Celestia!" I exclaimed with joy as hug her burying my face in her chest.


Princess Celestia was gently rubbing my back as we stayed like this for a while, when I was finally ok I ask her if she could let me down and she nods to me as she leave me on the floor then I look up to her, from my perspective she still looks big but not as how it was yesterday, it seems to be that when I had...changed, transform or grow? Whatever, It seems that I got taller than before. Then I feel the usual urge of the mornings and I ask to Princess Celestia for the bathroom, she smiles to me and lead me to her bathroom that was behind at a door of her bedroom, I guess since she is a princess, she can have her own private bathroom, she then accompanied me to the bathroom to the toilet and help me to sit on it. Princess Celestia was looking at me and was making me feel nervous, so I polite told her to not look at me, she understand my situation as she giggles making me feel even more embarrassed and then she turns around to give me privacy to do my needs.

When I finished using the toilet, Princess Celestia help me to get ready as she help me up to the sink in her bathroom and give to me a spare toothbrush. In front of the sink, there was a mirror I can have a image of 'my new self' looking to it, I look like a grow up version of what I was yesterday, just that now I was...Even more cute than before, my eyes now has a yellow color and I also have teeth now, in fact I have a fang coming out my lips, do I can eat meat now? I don't know, I also noticed that my wings are a little bigger than before, but they are still too small in comparassion with the rest of my body, I wonder if I can fly? That would be awesome.

After Princess Celestia and I finished using the bathroom, we come out and walk to her bed and she then put me on it as she said me to wait there for while as she prepare herself. Princess Celestia go to her table were she has her stuff and took a seat on her stool while using her golden aura from her horn to hold a hair comb to brush her ethereal mane, I don't know why since it seems that her mane and tail, seems to moves on its own, when Princess Celestia finished brushing her mane, she then grab her necklace and crown and put them on as she comeback to the bed where I was and lift me off the bed in her aura and gently she leaves me on her back, then her mane was covering me along with her wings that were at my sides.


"Listen Michael, I want you to stay hide there on my back ok? Is just for a while until I called everypony and get everything ready, can you do that for me?" said Princess Celestia to me while I was on her back.

"Uh huh." I said nodding to her, I don't know why she wants to hide me, but I decided to trust in her.


Princess Celestia with me hiding on her back, she comes out of her bedroom, I can't see from my position so I stay there in silence, just after we come out of her room, there was somebody waiting for her as I heard the voice of a young woman greeting to Princess Celestia, then I just heard Princess Celestia saying that she wants the staff of the castle present at the throne room for some important announcement she has to inform to them.

A while later, we were at the throne room and Princess Celestia was sitting on the throne, with me still on her back, then I heard the sound of a group of hoofs coming closer as the sound stops in front of us, I suppose it was from the people...Eh horses that she call before that now are here with us. Then Princess Celestia start to talk to the presents informing to them that there was going to be some changes in the castle, ​she then stops and she turns to look back looking to me with a determinate smile on her face and whisper to me saying to come out of my 'hiding' place, of course I was unsure, but it seems that I don't have a choice so I nod to her.


"Everypony, I want you all to meet..." said Princess Celestia as she light her horn and she cover my body in her aura and levitate me from her back and leave me in front of her forelegs at the front of all these horses. "Michael Hudson." said Princess Celestia showing me to the present horses.

"Eh, h-hi." I said nervous extending my right hand looking to the horses...Or ponies as Princess Celestia have said before.


I was looking to the ponies in front of me, I would lie if I say that they weren't surprised by looking at me...Well almost, not everyone was looking me like that. There was a male pony who looks like a old man or...Pony, he was wearing fancy black clothes, he has dark grey mustache that match with his short mane and his fur was silver, he was looking me with a calm and serene look on his face. There were 3 female ponies all wearing the same fancy white and black dresses, I think I saw that dress in some movie but I don't remember right now, the first one was an unicorn that has a curly blue mane and her fur has a lime color, she was looking at me surprised and...A bit scared, the second one was a pegasus as I saw her wings, she has a red straight mane with an orange fur, this one was surprised and was looking me with a cautious look, the last one was also a pegasus, she has a short blond mane with a light blue fur, she was scared and was trying hide behind the orange pony but this one pushed her a bit and now the orange one looks angry at her but she remained calm as the light blue was trying to has composure. The rest of the ponies were some chefs that I recognized from yesterday and some guards, then Princess Celestia continue.


"I want you all to know him, he is going to be a new resident in the castle for a undefined time, he is a not regular guest, he will live here for now on, so I want you all to follow his requests and assist him when he is in need." explained Princess Celestia to the presents.

"We understand your highness." replied the old pony with the mustache in a calm voice and then he was bowing. 


The rest of the ponies were bowing too, at first I was a bit confused, they were bowing to me? No, they were bowing to Princess Celestia, when I look back to her she looks down to me with a reassuring smile on her face, I was nervous about this so I let out a brieft laugh. Then Princess Celestia and I have our breakfast in a big hall that has a large white table, of course I was sitting a side of Princess Celestia as we were served, again it was babyfood served for me, I would complain about it, but it was so delicious that I just stare at it with a big smile to the bowl, by the way, it was bigger than the one I had yesterday and now that I have hands I can eat it without help, later on, I will ask for something else to eat. 

Two hours later, Princess Celestia and I were back at the throne room, while she was sitting checking some scrolls, I was laying at a side of her, it was a boring time but I really don't have much to do and I can't be alone either, I don't want to be on my own in this castle so I can't go and explore it and Princess Celestia seems pretty busy at the moment, I will have to wait until she was over with her work. 

But suddenly, a guard entered to the throne room and walk to Princess Celestia, when he was infront of her he said 'magic words' that improved my mood: 'Twilight was coming', if Twilight was coming here, then maybe we can play together, I have a lot fun yesterday when she was reading that book to me, sadly she fell asleep, maybe she was tired before, I look to Princess Celestia smiling and she look down to me with a small smirk on her face, looks like she has something in her mind. After a while we heard that Twilight was about to enter to the throne room, but before that happened, Princess Celestia told me in a playful tone to hide on her back again, I nod as I do what she told me and then, a moment later Twilight entered in the room.



"Good morning Princess Celestia..." I heard Twilight said as she was coming closer to us and I took a small peek of her between Princess Celestia's mane. "I have come for the lessons of today." said Twilight and then she bows to Princess Celestia.

"Good morning to you too my faithful student, I was waiting for you." said Princess Celestia as she giggle a bit.

"I'm honored..." said Twilight looking up to Princess Celestia as she stand up. "By the way your highness, where is the little one? Is in your bedroom? I don't see it here?" said Twilight looking around for me, I let out a a small laugh in a low tone about it.

"Oh he is here with us." said Princess Celestia to Twilight.

"'He'? You know its gender now?" said Twilight excited as Princess Celestia giggles, at this point I decided to come out of my hiding place. 

"Yes I'm here..." I said as my head come out between Princess Celestia's mane. "And yes, I'm a boy." I said smiling.

"Wha-what?!..." exclaim Twilight surprised with my sight, then Princess Celestia helped me to go down using her aura and levitated me to in front of Twilight. "Bu-but how? Yesterday you were...And now you look...And you can talk now?" said Twilight confused looking at me, I was surprised that we were almost at the same height while Princess Celestias was giggling with the situation.

"I know, I just woke up today and I was like this..." I said to Twilight extending my arms. "I just...Grew up, I think." I said to Twilight.

"But how? How you changed so much?" said Twilight trying to understand what happened to me as she looks down.

"I really don't know how Twilight, by the way, the book that you read me yesterday was a lot of fun." I said to Twilight with smiling.

"But you-" try to said Twilight but then she look to me. "It was really that fun?" asked Twilight with a small smile on her face, changing the subject.

"Yeah, you are good storyteller." I told to Twilight.

"But it was just an old story." said Twilight smile becomes more bright.

"Still, it was a good story and you were great telling it to me..." I said then I extend my right hand to Twilight. "I'm Michael." I said to Twilight who looks to my hand and then to me.

"I'm Twilight, nice to meet you Michael." said Twilight smiling extending her right hoof to me and I grab it.

"Nice to meet you too Twilight..." I said smiling to Twilight as I shake her hoof. "Hey, do you want to play something?" I asked to Twilight.

"Sorry Michael, but today I have a lesson of magic with Princess Celestia." said Twilight to me.

"Magic? Are you gonna do magic?..." I aske to Twilight  as I was wondering about it and she nods to me in replied, then I look to Princess Celestia. "Can I go too to see the lesson, please please please?" I ask excited to Princess Celestia who giggles with my behavior.

"Of course you can come too Michael, also, after the lesson ends, both Twilight and you can play together ok?" said Princess Celestia to us.

"Yay!" I exclaimed jumping with joy as both Princess Celestia and Twilight were giggling with this sight.


With that said, the three of us go to the garden were I was found yesterday, then Princess Celestia was about to teach a lesson to Twilight, she bring a apple and with her aura on her horn she shoots a ray to the apple and it just a few seconds the apple grows bigger and bigger until it was as big like a tree, I was amazed with this sight, then Princess Celestia explain  how her magic changes the apple's size and she told us that Twilight's task for the lesson of today was to return the apple to its original size. 

Twilight just stood there in front of the giant apple, and she shoots her own magic to the fruit without any effect on it,  It took her about a hour, but Twilight, finally got to change the apple's size to its normal size with her magic. Then Princess Celestia and I congratulate her as she was blushing with our praises and with her lesson finished, Twilight and I play together and we both enjoyed the time having fun while Princess Celestia was watching us and we continue like this for the rest of the day.






Canterlot royal castle, royal garden, afternoon time


Michael's POV


It have been a while, a month to be exact since I had come to Equestria, the first week was harsh for me, since I have to continue sleeping with Princess Celestia cause in the middle of the night I start to cry in a inconsolable way, because of me missing my parents, Princess Celestia stay at my side in those difficult times, trying her best to conform me until I finally fell sleep, it was hard for both of us since there was times when I wouldn't stop crying after hours and Princess Celestia got it hard in the day for the lack of sleep, I feel bad about for her so I try my best to not be so homesick in the nights, thinking in other things to not wake up so often in the middle of the night, but it was still hard for me.

Princess Celestia was also trying her best with me, giving me gifts and all kinds of stuff to made me feel better, she then got the idea of a better distraction for me to help me: 'education'. Princess Celestia along with Twilight were tutoring me, they have been teaching me a lot of things about this world. They taught me about the ponies and their 4 races, dragons, griffons and other species, luckily, as our language was the same, also it was our writing, so I don't have to learn how to write or read a new language, so things were getting better for me, I'm still missing my parents of course but at least I don't feel so sad about it as before thanks to all the stuff that I'm learning.

One thing that worried Princess Celestia for a time was that she got to know that I have fangs, two days after my 'growth spurt' she call again to Doctor Roses to give me another checkup. I would lie if I say that he was not surprised when he saw my new appearance, in fact, he almost jumps backwards with just a sight of me, when he checked my body he was still unknown of what I was or if I was relate to some animal of this world, it was a mystery for all us, but the thing that he was certain of what I was is that I was a omnivore, when he check my mouth, he said that I have molars and fangs that means that I can eat almost everything, including meat. 

Doctor Roses told to Princess Celestia that she should trying to give me other types of food in my diet and find a good substitute for the proteins that give the meat, he also told to Princess Celestia to keep this fact of me in secret and she also understand this too since we don't know how the ponies would react if they get to know that I could eat meat, if the ponies in the castle where unsure about me already, this fact could make bad first impressions of me.

As I was living here in the royal castle, the personal around the castle was helping me too, well...Sort of, the three maids that I meet before at that time when Princess Celestia call out the castle's staff, were still uneasy with me and I even still haven't the chance to learn their names, the lime unicorn one do her job but she doesn't want to get any contact with me, the pegasus orange one acts cold with me so I try to not see her much, but the one who I have more problems was the pegasus light blue one, every time we saw each other she immediately runs away from me, I really don't why she is so scared of me but I got to know that she was relate to the orange maid. 

The only one who treat me in a more 'friendly' manner was Silver Heart, the old stallion with mustache that I meet that same day, he was a Butler who has been working for years in the castle, he was strict but he was also comprehensive with my situation, he was the third person...Pony, who knows about my situation, the second one was Twilight, she was in tears when I told her about what happened to me. 

Now that I'm talking about her, we become good friends, I also got to know that she was a year older than myself, also, whatever the time when she comes to receive Princess Celestia's lessons, most of the times I was there too watching them and when the lesson was over Twilight and I go to play together. There was also times were I got to meet her family when she comes to the castle accompanied with a member of her family, like her mom, Twilight Velvet and Night Light, Twilight's dad, Twilight also has a brother, Shining Armor who was a few years older than Twilight, he comes often with her and I got to befriend with him, even if he was older than me, he still comes and play with me when I can't be present in Twilight's magic lessons. 

Today was one of those days, Princess Celestia was teaching a new spell to Twilight and in this occasion I can't be with them, luckily for me, today Twilight had come along with Shining Armor, so while Twilight was receiving her magic lesson, Shining Armor and I spend the time playing together. Today I was wearing a blue long sleeve vest, this one was made by Princess Celestia herself, I didn't know that she also knew how to sew, but I was very happy with her for doing it for me, it even has holes for my wings. Getting back on topic with Shining Armor, I was playing hide and seek with him at the royal garden and it was my turn to hide and Shining was looking for me.


"Where is this guy now?" said Shining looking around for me in between some bushes.


I was watching Shining Armor from my hidding spot, 20 minutes has passed since it was my turn to hide and I was is still missing from Shining's sight, the moment he turns in my direction I hide more and when I heard him complain about it I look back to him, but after a few times of doing this, I couldn't resist the urge anymore and I start to giggiling, by doing this it doesn't took him to much to know where I was. 


"There you are, that's not fair Michael!" declared Shining upset but in a playful tone.

"What? We are playing hide and seek..." I said coming out of my hiding place, that was between the branches of a tall tree. "As along we play in the garden is ok." I said as I glide down using my wings to where Shining was.


That's right in all this time, I learned how to fly...sort of, Princess Celestia was helping me in learning how to fly, since she is an alicorn, she has plenty experience in that matter, sadly I can't fly in the way I was expecting cause my wings were too small so I can't fly at high speed, neither I can't fly too high and I get tired if I fly for longer times, but hey at least I can use my wings that was good enough I supposed.


"That's not excuse Michael, I was looking for you for too long." said Shining to me.

"I'm sorry, I promise to not fly again is that's ok for you?" I said to Shining who nods in replied.

"Very much, If I'm not using my magic, then you shouldn't use your wings." said Shining to me with a smile, I was about to say something but then.

"Too bad I guess..." said a young male voice that caught the attention of Shining and I as we turn to the direction of the owner of the voice. "What's the case of not using your wings, but to be honest, I would enjoy if you could use them to fly far away from here." said with a mean smirk, the white unicorn who has a blond mane, saying those last words to me specifically.


This pony was Prince Blueblood, he was just a year older than Shining Armor, this guy has a very prepotent personality and likes to treat badly to those who aren't nobles or are commoners, he likes to use his title of prince to do whatever he wants and to feel superior than anyone, so yeah, he has a very bad reputation in the castle, I don't know why he was a prince to begin it, he wasn't even relate to Princess Celestia, he was just her adopted nephew, when I asked to her why, she told me that it was a complicate issue to explain. Of course, Blueblood and I aren't in good terms, when I come to live here in the castle, he dislike me for no reason, always treating me bad but he only do this when Princess Celestia wasn't around and when I told to somepony what he had done to me, he threat that pony or he starts to acts like if he was the victim, I dislike him so much, I wish that I could just punch his face.


"Leave him alone Blueblood." said Shining in a angry tone to Blueblood.

"Or what? Are you gonna do something to me? In fact, why aren't you two bowing down to me right now?" replied Blueblood to Shining Armor.

"What?" said Shining and I in unison with confusion.

"Why we should bow to you?" said Shining annoyed

"Why? You dare to ask why? I'm your prince so I have more authority than you." said Blueblood in a simple manner.

"That's not a good excuse, you haven't do anything good enough earn that." I said to Blueblood who looks down to me.

"Shut up you critter, an impolite pet like you, should remain in silence while the ponies are talking." replied Blueblood upset to me, I was getting angry by his words.

"Hey, stop with that, you are going too far!" exclaim Shining angry defending me of Blueblood.

"Why do you care about it? It just a weird animal after all." replied Blueblood with smirk, making my anger to grow.

"Why you are so-" try to said Shining but he was interrupted.

"Oh yeah, I remember, you were going to the royal guard training right? Maybe in the future you end up becoming one of my guards, hey, if you swear loyalty to me now, I will let you kiss my hoofs." said Blueblood mocking Shining, he was furious with those words, me on the other hand.

"STOP IT!!!" I exclaimed closing my eyes angry at Blueblood as I feel something coming out my mouth.

"Quiet you-wha-what?" said Blueblood surprised.


When I opened my eyes I saw that both Blueblood and Shining were looking at me astonished, well not at me exactly, what it was in front of me, there was a pink bubble in front me that was floating very slowly to Blueblood's direction, I was very confused by this, did I just...Shoot out this bubble from my mouth? After a moment Blueblood began to laugh about this.


"Really? What was that? You are so uncivilized that you even burp in front of royalty? You are just lucky that I don't punish you for this behavior, let me break out this silly thing." said Blueblood mocking me as he moves his neck to the right.


Then, after Blueblood moves his neck, he was going to swim his neck around with the intention of using his horn to cut my bubble, but he miscalculated and he end up breaking the bubble with his face. To our surprise, at the moment the bubble explodes, for some reason it hit Blueblood's face on his left cheek, the effect of the bubble was so strong that it even left a mark on Blueblood's left cheek, it was like if he just got slapped on the face, he was surprised while Shining Amor and I were confused for what just happened, then Blueblood recovered from the hit and looks down to me and he was very angry.


"You...How dare you to hurt me you beast?!" exclaimed Blueblood furious.

"Wha-what?" I said recovering my composure but I was both surprised and upset for what Blueblood just declared.

"Hold on right there Blueblood, you are the one who destroyed that bubble, Michael has nothing to do with it." said Shining defending me.

"What? How you can say that? Can't you see that this little monster just have attacked me and hurt me badly?..." said Blueblood victimizing himself as he points at me with his left hoof while he was looking to Shining. "I have to punish it for what it has done to me." said as he turns to look at me.


At this moment Blueblood's angry eyes were looking at me and he lights his horn with his magic, making me walk backwards and I fell on my butt, he was going to do something against me but Shining was getting in position, preparing himself and then he tackles Blueblood to the ground before he could do something to me, ​Blueblood quickly stands up angrier than before and was about to say something to Shining but suddenly, a familiar purple aura of magic covered Blueblood entire body, surprising us and after a few moments Blueblood was floating in the air and his body was spinning around.


"Wha-wha-what-s-happe-nning?!" exclaimed Blueblood as he spins in the air like the propeller of a chopper.

"You are very good at this Twilight, you are really improving." said Princess Celestia with a humorous tone.

"Thank you Princess Celestia." replied Twilight as she giggles.


Both Shining and I turn around to our left and we saw both Princess Celestia and Twilight walking to our direction, when they were closer to us, Twilight stop spinning Blueblood in the air and lower his body to the ground as he fells sitting on his butt, his head was spinning  and his face was green, but after a while he recovered and he noticed that Princess Celestia was here and was looking at him with a stern look on her face, Blueblood's face turns blue of fear.


"Do you have something to say Blueblood?" said Princess Celestia in a angry tone glaring down to Blueblood.

"Au-auntie! We-we, the three of us were just playing together yes, nothing bad was happening here, I swear." said Blueblood both nervous and scared with that lame excuse.

"Oh really? For what I saw, I thought that you were gonna do something bad to Michael." said Twilight with a stern tone.

"Me? Never! I would never do something bad to it-him!" said Blueblood exalting in his lies.

"I see, then do me a favor and go back to your chambers and don't come out for the rest of the day...now." said Princess Celestia in a menacing tone in her last words to Blueblood making him gulp.

"As-as you wish auntie," said Blueblood as he start his trot to leave us alone while he hurry his way out the garden.

"Coward." I thought as I try to get up, then I saw Princess Celestia coming closer to me and she looks to Shining.

"We saw you from the distance Shining Armor, I want to thank you for defending Michael from Blueblood." said Princess Celestia smiling to Shining.

"It was a pleasure your highness, Blueblood was going too far against my friend." said Shining to Princess Celestia. 

"Still, I greatly thank you for doing that..." replied Princess Celestia as turns to look at me. "Are you alright Michael?..." said Princess Celestia as she bends down lowering her neck to my face. " You are not hurt right?" said Princess Celestia concerned as she gently rub her left cheek against mine.

"Yes mom, I'm fine..." I said looking down as I get up without noticing what I just said while cleaning the dirt off my vest. "Eh?" I said confused when I saw Princess Celestia's shocked face.

"Mi-Michael...Di-did you just called me mom?" said Princess Celestia to me in a nervous, concerned and...In an anxious tone? I also think that I saw something else in her eyes, is that...Happiness?.

"Ehh? I..." I said, then I just realized what I just said a moment ago. "I-I'm so sorry Princess Celestia, I didn't mean to offend you, I said it without thinking I just-" I try to said but I was suddenly interrupted when Princess Celestia's forelegs caught me in a comforting hug. 

"Don't be Michael, is fine...Hey, Michael, what do you think if I say that I want to adopt you?" said Princess Celestia so suddenly.

"Wha-what?" I said surprised looking up to her.

"I mean, I know that you have your real parents at you world and I can't replace them, but I'm very concerned about you and I would like to fill their place here, it would make me very happy if you wish me to become your adoptive mother, would you like that?" ask Princess Celestia to me with a warm smile.

"I...I..." I try to answer but I was too nervous and I look down, it was so sudden but not in a bad way, to be honest I really like the idea since Princess Celestia has been so nice with me, after a moment of silence I look up to Princess Celestia and I nod to her. "Yes, I would like to." I replied determinate to her with a smile.

"Oh thank you so much Michael!" exclaim Princess Celestia in happiness as she 'gently' crush me between her forelegs with her hug.


Later on that same day, Princess Celestia...I mean, mom, summoned some ponies in a private room with the two of us reunited, there was also Twilight with her family present too, to be our witnesses. After a while fixing the documents and the adoption papers being drawn up, I officially become the son of Princess Celestia and also the next heir of the throne, that was pointless in a certain way since alicorns are practically immortals, so mom wouldn't stop being the regent of Equestria unless she leaves her position and put another pony in charge,  but to be honest that was the least matter here, I was more than happy with the situation and Princess Celes-I mean, mom was more eager to express her motherly love to me, oh yeah and about my now cousin Blueblood, well I think he hates me more than before now that I have the authority to stops his wrong doings in the castle, most to his dismay and to the joy of the employees, ​by doing this I was getting a better impression around the castle, at this rate I feel that the things will going to get better.

Canterlot's royal castle, training grounds, morning time


Michael's POV


"Please your highness, please stop! You don't have to do this." said Twirling Shine to me very concerned about me from her position.

"I'm sorry but I can't...Not until I teach him a lesson." I thought panting as I turn to look to Twirling Shine, I can see tears coming from her eyes.

"Come on, can we finish with this already? I have a schedule today, I don't want to waste more of my precious time with a little creep like you..." said Blueblood mocking me as he was holding his wood sword with his magic, then he turns around to Twirling Shine. "Just for annoying me with this, be prepare for a good punishment tonight, of course if you don't come to me, be reassure about that your sister and you will be living in the streets from now on." said Blueblood to Twirling Shine with a smirk on his face.

After Blueblood said this I heard Twirling shine's sobs, this increased my anger, I hold my  wooden sword with a strong grip as I rush against my opponent, flapping my little wings as I prepare myself to do a swim with my sword, but at the moment that I was getting closer to Blueblood, I can see how a smirk was forming on his face.

How we come to this? Well I tell you about it, all began hours earlier in this morning...






Canterlot's royal castle, Celestia's bedroom, morning time, a few hours earlier


It had been a two years since I come to live in the castle and I still wasn't able to go out to visit Canterlot, mom told me that the time will come to meet other ponies but I was not ready, she said that I have to be patience about it, but I'm getting anxious about it as the time passes. With the passing years, I'm still sleeping with mom in her bedroom but luckily I do not cry much as before, sure I'm still missing my parents, but I don't wake up in the middle of night more often for mom's relief and she can now rest peacefully as she kept my body closer to her while we sleep, with my size, I feel more like a teddy bear for her.

The things in the castle are getting better as the ponies got used to me, for example, I got know the names of the the three maids that were present in the throne room that time when mom introduced me to the castle's staff, the unicorn maid name's was Bluebell like the flower, to her dissmay, at first, she was assigned to me as my personal maid, obviously she doesn't like the idea of being with me, I got to know that she is related to the unicorn butler who was also present that day, Silver Heart, Bluebell was his niece and when she move out to live in Canterlot he got her to work here as a maid.

Bluebell and I got a better relationship in between us, with each day her behavior with me changed from cold and distant to be more friendly with me as she got to know me better, we enjoyed our times together when I'm not with mom, Twlight or Shining, for example we together go the garden after my lessons to take a rest and eat some snacks. Bluebell's friends well that's a different story, Crimson Feather, she's the pegasus mare with the red straight mane and orange fur, she is very cautious with me, she do not trust in me and she didn’t speak much to me, only what she has to say.

Finally, there was Twirling Shine, the short blond mane pegasus mare with a light blue fur, she is Crimson's little sister, it was quite surprising considerating in how different they are, while Crimson’s personality was like of those tought looking tomboys, Twirling Shine was the opposite, she was a scaredy cat to say at least and easy to manipulate, Crimson has to watch her sister in case if any other maid try to mess or bully with her, of course, she was terrified of me and most of the times she avoids me and when there are times that she has some work relate to me, she asks to her sister for help and switch their assignments.

But one morning when mom left to start the day with her royal duties, leaving me alone in her room while I finished my homework on my study table, I heard a knock on the bedroom door, distracting me and calling my attention as I turn around to it.


"Come in..." I said while holding my pencil in my right hand, shortly after it opens and I saw Bluebell entering the room. "Oh good morning Bluebell." I said to Bluebell smiling.

"Good morning Prince Michael." Bluebell said bowing to me as she begins turning her head to look around the room for something, this called my attention.

"Something happened?" I asked to Bluebell curious.

"Well... Actually, your highness, I'm looking for Twirling, I haven't seen her and I been all this morning looking for her, we have work to do." Bluebell said with me.

"Oh really? Well, did you asked to Crimson where she could be?” I suggested to Bluebell who shakes her head to me.

"Crimson took the day off due to a small fever, I have to find Twirling before she gets into troubles." Bluebell said to me worried about her friend.

"Mmmm... In that case, let me help you with this." I said to Bluebell, leaving my pencil on the table as I got up and stood in front of Bluebell.

"But you highness, this is not something that you should do." said Bluebell a little concerned with my aptitude.

“Hey, okay, it's your friend who needs your help right now, right? I wouldn't mind helping you on this and I was getting bore here anyway." I said to Bluebell while smiling at her.

"Alright, your highness." Bluebell said to me, unsure about it.

"Also, I already told you that you can call me Michael when we're alone, I don't like my friends treating me in that way." I said laughing a little.

"Sorry your high-I mean, Michael, it's the custom hehehe." Bluebell said to me smiling.

"Okay then, so let's find Twirling, where do you think she might be?" I asked to Bluebell who moves her left hoof under her chin.

"She may be in one of the 2 places she usually goes to when she is free, one is the library and the other is in the garden." Bluebell said to me.

"Alright, you go to search for her at the library and I'll go to look at the gardens okay?" I said to Bluebell who nods to me.


Bluebell and I left the room with our destinations in mind and we split up in different directions to look for Twirling Shine, of course I avoid being in sight on my way, I don't want anypony to see me while I'm looking for Twirlind, if by any chance a pony that has spotted me meets with mom during this time of the morning and tell her about me, I will get a good scolding from her for walking around the castle and skipping my studies.

Going back with the topic of Twirling Shine, I got in the garden flawlessly and I began my search for the pegasus maid, at that time I heard some sobbing around here, someone is crying, as I go closer to where the sound in coming from, I found the owner of the cry, it was no ther than Twirling Shine who was resting her back against a tree as she was crying, I thought about it for moments, did someone bullied her? I don't know if I should come closer to her considering how she thinks about me, but looking at her crying is making me feel bad for her, I sigh and prepared for the outcome with the shy mare as go to her.


"Eh...Excuse me?" I said in a loud tone to Twirling but it was enough to call her attention as she turned to me.

"Eeeeek!" exclaimed Twirling the moment she saw, I can notice how she's getting scared with my presence.

"Ca-call down, you are Miss Twirlind right? Do you know who I'am right?..." I asked nervous to Twirling as while tremble she managed to nods to me. "I see, then you know that I won't do anything bad to you right? I mean, I'm just a colt and you are mare, what harm can I do to you?" I said to Twirlind putting my best friendly smile, she seems scared but she is not trembling anymore.

"I...I...I'm sorry your highness...I di-didn't mean to offend you...Ple-please, don't punish me..." said Twirling to me scared,  something is off with her words, she seems scared of me sure, but not by my looks but for something more.

"Huh? Calm down, is something happening to you?" I asked to Twirling concerned about her.

"I...I..." try to say Twirling as I can noticed her eyes tearing. "Waaaaaahhh!" cried Twirling as she broke into tears, she use her forelegs to covers her face as she drops her body on the grass.

"Eh? Wait, I'm sorry Miss Twirling." I said to Twirling worried as I got closer to her.


Twirling continued crying for a while as I was rubbing her back until she finally began to calm down and ceased her cry, still she was sobbing as she took a seat on the grass while I was still at her side, at the moment she didn't seem to be scare of me, something is bothering her more than be afraid of me, now I'm really concerned about her,  I gave her my handkerchief as she use it then I proceed to ask her what is going on with her.


"Miss Twirling? Sorry to ask but, can you tell me what is happening to you?" I asked to Twirling.

"I...We-well...It was...It was Prince Blueblood!..." cried Twirling to me as she began to tear off again. "He-he told me to...Come to-to his room tonight...And...If I do not co-me...He-he will fired me and my sister!" exclaimed Twirling while crying to me.

"What?" I said astonished by Twirling have told me.


I managed to get Twirling to calm down again and this time she told everything, it looks like that Blueblood got into the age that he is interested on mares, so knowing him, he began to use his status to harass some of the maids in the castle, but he put his eyes on Twirling, thinking that she is a easy target to turn her into his "toy", whatever what Twirling means with that but it seems really bad and is making me mad, Blueblood couldn't do any moves because of Crimson's  presence, but now that she wasn't here, Blueblood threated Twirling that he will get her and her sister fired, but not only that, he will use his power to make their lifes miserable.


"I...Don't worry Twirling, you don't have to listen that idiot." I said to Twirling.

"But if I don't do what he says, he-" try to say Twirling but I interrupted her.

"Is ok, just let me deal with this." I said to Twirling smiling.







Canterlot's royal castle, dinning hall, morning time



"I said where's my breakfast?" said Blueblood in an upset tone.

"Please your highness, it will be ready in a while." replied a butler very annoyed but remained calm.

"How these so called chefs dares to make me wait? If their food isn't good enough to satisfy me, I will-" try to say Blueblood but he was interrupted.

"Blueblood!" I yelled angry as I entered in the dining hall.


As I entered in the room, Twirling followed me behind me as she stood there at my back, Blueblood was too focus on that he didn't even pay attention to Twirling.


"Eh? What are you doing here, critter? Do you wish to ruin my breakfast with your awful presence?" said Blueblood to me as I ignored his insults.

"Blueblood! How you dare to threated a maid, don't you have honor?" I said upset to Blueblood.

"What? What do you mean critter? For what reason you are accusing me?..." said Blueblood to me in his usual tone, then he noticed Twirling's presence. "I see, so you think that this...Pet, can do something for you? Don't make laugh." said Blueblood with a smirk to Twirling intimidating her.

"Stop it! I...I challenge you in a duel, Blueblood." I said angry to Blueblood.

"What?..." said Blueblood surprised at first, but then he smirked to me. "Very well, it will be a nice way to teach you a lesson so you learn to show me respect." said Blueblood to me accepting my challenge.

"Oh yeah? Well if I win then you stop bullying Twirling and never come closer to her or her sister." I said angry to Blueblood who remained calm looking at me with that stupid smile on his face.

"Very well critter, let's do this on the training grounds." replied Blueblood to me as he began to walk to the exit of the dining hall.


After Blueblood accepted my challenge, the three of us departed from the dining hall and we go through the castle to go outside to the training grounds. 






Canterlot's royal castle, training grounds, morning time




The training grounds, is the place a where the royal guard train, in this place we have a small arena were the guards have sparring rounds, here Blueblood and I will have our duel, we agreed that only the presents in the dining hall were allowed to watch the duel so we were only three individuals in the arena and to our luck, the guards schedule were busy to be on the training grounds. Twirling will our witness on this duel, the rules were simple, we are gonna use wooden swords, good thing that I have been taking lessons instructed by mom who put in charge of me a retired royal captain.

Back to the topic, Blueblood and I stood in the center of the arena in front of each other with a few of distance, Blueblood was holding his wooden sword  with his magic as he go on guard, I did the same getting ready holding my sword with both hands, Twirling was looking us nervous, before we entered in the training grounds she told to not do this, but I can't let this imbecile do what he wants so I told her to not worry and that everything is gonna be ok, meanwhile Twirling, unsure about this, was our referee as she look at us with a concerned expression on her face and her right foreleg raised, waiting for the moment and when she felt that we were ready she finally did the signal.


"Be-begin." said Twirling in a low tone as she quickly lowered his right foreleg.


With that I quickly flap my wings, holding my wooden sword with a strong grip, I launched my attack to Blueblood who remained stood on his position, I saw how he swim his sword with the intention to hit my right side as I was getting ready to block his sword, sadly he managed to flawlessly hit me as I fell to the ground, I could hear Twirling's voice as she gasped the moment I hit the ground.


"Come on critter, is that all you have?" said Blueblood to me while I saw how he move to my left as he smirks to me.


The anger was flowing in my being by just hearing his voice mocking me, I stood getting ready in my position and again I go back to attack him, this time I will got him I thought, but much to my dismay it happened again, he easily got me again and his sword managed to hit me as I fell again to the ground,  his speed was overwhelming, no, he wasn't that fast, it was me who was slow, I can see his movements but I can't move fast enough to react and block his attacks.


"You know? This is getting fun." said Blueblood looking down at me.

"Damm you!" I thought angry feeling the pain as I look back to Blueblood.







Canterlot's royal castle, training grounds, morning time, present time




My battle with Blueblood continues like this, I have tried out to attack him or block his sword's movements but it was useless, what good is  for me to see his movements if I can't do a thing to counter attack or stop him? I was getting tired, my vest is a mess already as my body is covered with bruises, meanwhile Blueblood don't even has a drop of sweat, he rather was getting bored of me, I was panting as I stood.


"Please your highness, please stop! You don't have to do this." I heard Twirling Shine said to me, very concerned about me from her position.

"I'm sorry but I can't...Not until I teach him a lesson." I thought panting as I turn to look to Twirling Shine, I can see tears coming from her eyes.

"Come on, can we finish with this already? I have a schedule today, I don't want to waste more of my precious time with a little creep like you..." said Blueblood mocking me as he was holding his wood sword with his magic, then he turns around to Twirling Shine. "Just for annoying me with this, be prepare for a good punishment tonight, of course if you don't come to me, be reassure about that your sister and you will be living in the streets from now on." said Blueblood to Twirling Shine with a smirk on his face.


After Blueblood said this, I heard Twirling shine's sobs, this increased my anger, I hold my  wooden sword with a strong grip as I rush against my opponent, flapping my little wings as I prepare myself to do a swim with my sword, but at the moment that I was getting closer to Blueblood, I can see how a smirk was forming on his face.

Blueblood easily predicted my move as he the moment when I was closer to him, Blueblood move to my left side raising his sword and without much effort he hit me with a swim of his sword, but this time he aimed to my nape as I feel to the ground, it really hurts, it was clear that he was expecting me to act like this and I fell into his trap, I try to stand up using my sword to support me, if Blueblood wants he could finish me right now and force me to give up, but instead, I heard his hoofsteps to another direction, when I turn to look at him I noticed that Blueblood was walking to Twirling, if he going to leave me alone? No, he hasn't left the arena as he just stood in front of her.


"Did you really expected that this creep could change something? I'm just going to tell you this before I finish this sorry excuse of duel, I'm going to make sure that tonigh be special for us, I warn you that I will be a bit rude with you." I heard Blueblood said, I don't know what he means but it makes my blood boils.

"You asshole!" I thought furious holding my wooden sword as I prepared myself in position.


Again flapping my wings I launch my attack to Blueblood who has turned ready, like if he was waiting for this, but I didn't care at the moment, I was so full of my anger that my vision turned blank as I approach to him I can barely distinguish his figure, suddenly, I feel something in my body, a warm and growing sensation that that was running in all my being, while I was feeling this, I raise my sword over me getting ready to attack him, Blueblood move his sword to block for the first time but the moment my sword hit his, I cutted the blade of Blueblood's sword but my attack continues as I smacked his face with my sword to the right, my blow was so hard that I end up sending my opponent to fly away as Blueblood fell to the ground unconscious out the arena, I smile with joy looking at him in such state.


"That...Will teach you...Jerk..." I said panting tired and claiming my victory as I raise my sword with my right hand to my knocked out enemy.

"Eeeeek!" yelled Twirling scared as I turned to her in confusion.

"Eh?...Are you ok?...Miss Twirling?" I asked panting to Twirling still confused. 


Then I heard the sound of hoofs approaching and when I turned around, I saw mom entering in the arene, following behind by Silver and Bluebell, then the moment they saw me they all got astonished looks on their faces, a this moment I start to notice something out the place, they all look a bit smaller to me, I mean, they have shrunk? I thought wondering what is going on?


"What...Who are you?" said mom to me in a cautious tone while looking at me.

"Eh?...What are you saying mom?..." I asked to my mom, as I extended my my left arm to her. "Is me Mi-Huh?" I said as I looked to my arm.


My arm, my arm just changed and is now longer but not only that but it looks human, I have human fingers now, I throwed my wooden sword to the ground as I inspect my limbs better, I cannot believe it, did I become human again? I thought as the joy was overcoming my being, I can feel my tears coming out as I turned to look at my mom who was still looking at me astonished.


"Mom...I..." I try to say something to my mom as I smile to her but suddenly my mind turned blank as I feel my body getting heavy, I barely heard mom's voice as I lost my consciousness. 









Canterlot's royal castle, Celestia's bedroom




My eyes are still closed, I passed out of tiredness? I don't know what happened to me, I don't remember anything after my encounter with Blueblood, but right now, I feel like drowsy at the moment, also I noticed something holding my body tight but gentle at the same time, when I opened my eyes I noticed that I was in my mom's bedroom on her bed and when I turned around to my left I found my mom holding my body with her forelegs, she has her eyes closed and there are signs on her face of been crying too.


"Mom?" I said to mom who seems to react to voice as she opened her eyes.

"Huh? Mi-Michael?" said Mom unsure to me as she looks at me worried.

"Yes...Er, are you ok mom?" I asked to my mom as I was now worried of her.

"Mi...Michael!" exclaimed mom as she embrace my poor body with more strenght as she hold close to her chest.

"Mo-Mom...Please I'm ok." I said to my mom but it seems that my words go to deaf ears as she keeps holding me.

"My baby, I'm so glad that you are ok!" exclaimed mom to me in tears.


I remained with my mom like for a good period of time as she hold my body, she licks my face and rubs her face to mine until she finally calm down, at that time we both took a seat on her bed as she was at my left side, but she have extended her right wing to me keeping close to her body, then mom began to tell me what happened during my duel with Blueblood from what Twirling has told to her.

Apparently when I was about to attack Blueblood, my body got covered of a shining light and when it fade I become human again, or thats what I thought, because when I look at my mom's mirror I noticed all my changes, I was human again but not who I was back in my world, I'm now a blond short haired boy with white skin and blue eyes, I was wearing a white toga, golden anklets and bracelets in both my wrist and ankles, also my body was covered by some purple tattoos but what shock the most is that I now have five pairs of white wings, eight on my back with a good proportion compare to my old little wings and two smaller wings on my head, I was like an angel.


"Thi-this is me?" I said confused while looking my own image in the mirror.

"It seems so dear, you don't feel anything wrong right?" said my mom to me still looking worry as I turn to her.

"Yes, I do feel fine mom, in  fact I feel a lot better." I replied to my mom as I smile to her.

"I'm glad to heard to that, Michael..." mom said as she sighs relieved. "But, that was so careless from you, do you know how worried I was? What you could have happen to you? Don't you know how dangerous wooden swords can be? What do you have to say for yourself, young colt?" said mom with a stern look to me as she scolds me.

"But you are the one who make me take swordsmanship lessons?" I thought looking at my mom.

"I'm so sorry mom I didn't mean to worried you, I swear." I said to my feeling genuinely bad with what I have done, I can feel how something lowered on my head, did my little wings on my head come down?

"Good, now...!" said my mom when she use her forelegs to caught me again in her embrace. "I'm also so proud of you for defending Twirling Shine's honor, Michael." said mom holding me with my face to her chest.

"Thank you mom." I said to my mom, I smile by hearing her words knowing that she is not angry with me anymore as I huge her back.

"Alright sweetie, let's have our dinner together shall we?" said mom to me as I nod to her.

"Ok mom...Wait, dinner? What time is, mom?" I asked to my mom.

"It passed the 8:00 pm." replied mom replied mom smiling.

"Wow, I sleep the entire afternoon until night time? I was that tired?" I thought amazed with my clueless of time.


After that, I followed mom to the dining hall to have the dinner with her, during that time she explained to me what happened to Blueblood after I passed out, looks like that he won't be able to eat normal food for a good time, the blow I gave him at the head affected him more in his jaw, he can't talk or chomp solid food until he gets health, so he has to adapt to a diet of soup during his time of recovery, also mom heard Twirling's story and punished Blueblood to stayed in his bedroom for a week, he is not allowed to interact with any of the female staff of the castle and now he was assigned with some butlers who to his dismay, were ordered to watch him if he try to do something funny to the others members of the castle's staff, but I don't think that he thinking in doing something like that, I believe that he is cursing me everytime he looks a plate of soup, not I that care what he thinks of me or anything.

Some days has passed after my duel with Blueblood, Dr Roses visited me again to check my new change, by this point he wasn't so surprised like the last time, looks like that he is getting use to my changes, after my checkup I was healthy but Dr Roses confirmed that I'm an omnivore after he took a look to my teeth, I have to adapt my diet in order to not get sick, or that was Dr Roses's diagnosis something that worried mom but she will look a solution for that. 

After my body changed into this angelic form, mom told me that she will do me a new set of clothes in her free time, meanwhile I will use this toga that appeared with me when I become into this eight winged boy, I'm still wondering what I'm suppose to be. But changing the topic, one morning something unexpected happened to me when I was studying in mom's bedroom.


"I'm so glad to have human fingers again, it was so hard get use to write when my fingers were smaller." I thought smiling as I write on my notebook.


Suddenly something called my attention as I heard knocks on the bedroom's door.


"Come in." I said still focused on my notebook as I heard the door opening.

"Good morning your highness." said Crimson feather, hearing her voice caught me off of guard as I turn to look at her, .

"Miss Crimson? Is good to see that you have recovered from your fever." I said to Crimson, is rare for her to be here, I don't think that she have any task with me today.

"I'm appreciated your words your highness...Eh...I come here for..." said Crimson to me, she looks abit down as she is looking away to her right.

"For what?" I asked curious to Crimson, she then sighs as she turn back to me now with a determinate lok on her face.

"I just want to thank you, I heard the story from Twirling and Bluebell, I'm very grateful for what you have done and stopped prince jer-I mean Blueblood...And..." said Crimson to me, looks like that her determination was running out, it seems to be hard for her to continue.

"And?" I said to Crimson expecting, I should haven't say that because now she looks angry.

"And I'm sorry for being so cold and cautious with you, I do think that you are a nice and gentle colt, are you happy now?" said Crimson upset to me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry." I said smiling a bit to Crimson, I try my best to not laugh of her behavior.

"Good, I'm glad your understand it now if you excuse me your highness, I take my leave..." said Crimson to me as she turned around but before she exit the door she stopped. "I...My clumsy sister also said that she wants to talk more with you later...I will also come with her, just to watch you, don't get any funny ideas ok?" said Crimson to me without turning back to look at me.  

"Hehehe, sure Miss Crimson, say to Twirling that I be waiting for you two." I said to Crimson smiling as she continue walking and left the bedroom.

"Yeah, things are getting a lot better now." I thought as I continue doing my homework.
