"Daddy when are we going to meet aunt Twilight?" A young pegasus filly asked as she looked at the stallion next to her, she was a dull purple with a even duller shade of purple mane. She had bright cyan eyes that seemed to glow in the dark. She had a black four pointed star with two small white four pointed stars as her cutie mark.

The stallion he was all black with a white mane and three gold bits with two swords that crossed over it as his mark as he likes to call it to save his man card in a mare ran world. He was a unicorn he was almost as large as a certain red male earth pony.

He had bright green eyes that looked as though they had whisps of smoke coming off them. He looked down at the little filly and smiled at her as she jumped on his back and peeked over his head as she smiled at him.

"We'll see her soon enough Star Dancer now calm down were fixing to come into the town now. If your good Ill get you a ice cream." He said as the litte filly beamed at her father.

"Ok daddy! Ill be good." She said as he smiled at her while they entered the town. As they walked his smile dropped he thought of how much he loved his daughter and how opposite his family was.

(Flashback)
"YOU STUPID BOY!! WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU!" A blue unicorn stallion yelled at a small colt while a white mare ignored what was happening and stayed in the kitchen.

"What did I do dad I was just- SLAP!"

The young colt coiled into a ball as the rain of blows started as the young colts father rained blow after blow on the small colt, all because he borrowed his sisters magic books cause he wanted to be like her. Even though she told him it was ok to borrow it.

After his father was done beating on him he grabbed him up by his hair making him scream in pain. SLAP!

"Shutup your making my ears hurt you useless little shit. Now give your sister back her book or Ill give you a reason to scream. MOVE! You got two seconds to give her back her book or Ill start over for not listening to me!" He said as the little colt hobbled over to his sister as she ran to him but wasnt fast enough as she saw him covered in blue magic and smashed into a wall over and over again. All the while Shinning Armor smiled at the scene.

The little colt knew once his father was done his brother would have his turn. He looked over at his older and only sister and could see the saddness in her eyes as tears were falling down her face as she watched her father beat him into unconiousness. His last thoughts as a the darkness started to take him was how much he hated his family.

(End Flashback)

"Daddy you ok?" Star Dancer asked as she looked a her father who shook his and looked back at her.

"Yeah baby girl Im fine just had somethings on my mind." He said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"You were thinking of them again weren't you?" She asked as he lost his smile.

"Yeah I was. But its nothing baby girl Im fine now." He said as he nuzzled her making her smile a little at him.

"Ok daddy you know momma would be worried about you if she was here you know." She said as he nodded with a sad smile.

"Yeah she would wouldnt she?" He said as he looked up and heard her stomach rumble making him smile at her as she blushed.

"Come on baby girl lets get something to eat Im sure that your aunt can wait a little longer for her surprise." He said as she nodded and headed for a candy like house.

"Are we gonna eat the house?" She asked as they looked at the strange house.

"No silly all the food is inside! You guys must be new here Im Pinkie Pie whats your names?" A pink mare asked as she looked at the pair while bouncing in place.

"Ah you must my sister's friend that I heard about. Im-"

"PINKIE PIE! Come on Pinks we got to go help AJ with some harvesting." A rainbow mare said as she hovered by her friend and looked at the pair.

"Sorry to butt in but I need Pinkie for something at a friends house." She said as they nodded.

"Its fine we were just heading in to grab some chow. It was nice meeting you both Ms. Pinkie Pie and Ms.Rainbow Dash." He said as they waved to the two mares.

"Pinkie who was that and how did he know our names?" Rainbow said as she saw the door to Sugar Cube corner close behind the two.

"I dont know, they know me cause I told them my name. Oh oh do you think their ninja's come to replace us with robots to take over Equestria?!" She said with a huge smile on her face as Rainbow's eye twitched as she stared at her friend.

"Pinkie Pie you are sooooo random. Come on lets go help Applejack ok?" She said with a sigh as her pink friend bounced behind her as they headed to Applejacks house.

(Sugar Cube Corner)

Star Dancer and her father walked into the resturant and drooled at the smell as a mare with a blue coat and a pink mane came up to them.

"Oh hello dearys I dont think Ive seen you two here before. Is this your first time in Ponyville? Im Mrs.Cake and that orange stallion over there is my husband Mr.Cake. What's your names?" She asked as they smiled at the friendly mare.

"Good to meet you Mrs.Cake this is my daughter Star Dancer. My name is-"

"Honey could you help me please?!" Mr.Cake called out as a large group of ponys walked in.

"One minute dear!" Mrs.Cake called back to him as she looked back at him.

"What can I get you dears?"

"Ill just have some apple fritters, what do you want baby girl?" The stallion said as he looked at his daughter.

"Ill take some cherry dumplings." She said as Mrs.Cake nodded and rushed to go help her husband.

"So dad where are we gonna stay? Didnt you say you already found a place to live right?" She asked with a little concern.

"Yes baby girl I wouldnt have taken us all the way from Manehatten just to come here and not have a place to live. We got a place over by where theres a lake. It sits right by it and we own that whole area just the two of us." He said with a sad smile.

"Yeah. Do you think that mom would have liked it daddy?" Star Dancer asked as he pulled her into a hug.

"Yeah baby girl its was your mothers dream to live near a lake with a lot of land for our kids to play. She would be so proud of how much you've grown." He said as he smiled down at the little filly who had tears in her eyes before he wiped them away as she smiled up at him.

"Tell me what she was like again daddy." She said as she jumped up in his back and snuggled into his neck. She loved how comfortable he was to lay on.

"Ok. Well she was all white with a blonde mane and tail, she was a pegasus. She was very out going and loved to have fun with her friends. She was a strong mare she hardley ever let anything bother her. She was also a very kind mare and very beautiful. I would sometimes wonder how in Equestria I married such a mare but I was very thankful to whatever god that was looking out for me that I met your mother. We got married in winter with all of our friends and family there except for them of course. I sent a letter to your aunt but she never came. Hehehe I bet she wont even recognize me after so long. But the day I married your mother was the happiest day of my life. Next to the day you were born of course, that day was the best day of my life since you came into my life." He said as he turned to the little filly and frowned as he heard her sniffle.

"Whats the matter baby girl?" He asked as he used his magic to bring her infront of him.

"But Im the reasion why mom is,is DEAD!" She yelled as she burst into tears as he pulled her into him.

"Hey hey hey. Look at me baby girl. Look at me." He said as he lifted her head to make her look at him as he wiped the tears off her face.

"You are not the reason that your mother is gone baby girl. Your mother had complications during your birth. When the doctors pulled you out they just couldnt stop the bleeding. Its not your fault baby girl it was never your fault. I dont blame you so you shouldnt blame yourself. Besides I see a lot of your mother in you. Your smart, strong, funny, and a very kind filly. And one day Im gonna have to beat boys away from you since you already take after her so much now, and remember you got to take care of your old man when he gets older and cant move around that much." He said as she giggled and pushed on his chest.

"Your not gonna get old daddy, and besides I dont need any boys since I got you. Im just gonna stay with you forever daddy." She said as she wiped her face on his chest with a smile on her face.

"EWWW! Gross dont wipe your boogers on me girl." He said as she giggled.

"But my nose itches daddy and I cant get it." She said as she wiped her face again as he made gagging noices.
As the two laughed Mrs.Cake came with their meals.

"Here you go dears enjoy, if you need me just give me a yell or call to my husband." She said as the two nodded and dug into their meals.

"Hey daddy do you think Aunt Twilight will like me?" Star asked as he looked at her.

"Of course baby girl what makes you think she wouldnt?" He asked as he looked at her confused.

"Well I dont know. What if she dont like kids or I mess up and break something. I just dont want her to hate me." She said with her ears down and a scared frown on her face.

"You worry to much baby girl. If your aunt is like the sister that I used to know then she will love you." He said as he finished his meal followed by his daughter.

"Well baby girl you ready to go see your aunt?" He asked as he put the right amount of bits on the table as well as a nice sized tip.

"Yep if she is anything like you said I cant wait to see her." The little filly said as she climbed on his back.

"Ok then well Ms.Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash headed in that direction. Hold on let me go ask Mrs.Cake where this AJ's farm is since Ms.Rainbow said something about harvesting." He said as Star Dancer watched her father trot over to Mrs.Cake and started to talk to her before she pointed down the main road before he thanked her and trotted back to her.

"So did you get it?" She asked as he got closer.

"Yep Mrs.Cake said if we head down this road then we'll come right up on it, we couldnt miss it. So be on the look out for Sweet Apple Achers." He said as she jumped up on his back.

"OK LETS GOOOO!" She yelled as he reared up getting a squeal from her as he took off down the road.

(Sweet Apple Achers)
Twilight had just got done helping Applejack putting away the last of the havested apples in her apple cellar.

"So Twi. what'chall doin now that were done?" Applejack asked as they were walking back up the stairs.
"I dont know Applejack but I want to check out these ponys that know Rainbow and Pinkie Pie.The only people in my family that know about you guys are my brother and parents." She said while thinking

'There's no way that HE knows them. Unless he's been keeping tabs on me which I wouldnt doubt. Ohhhh what if it is HIM, I hope it isnt Im not ready for company and I havent seen HIM in so long, the library is a mess. OOOOHHHH WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!?' Twilight thought as they made it up to the top.

Applejack looked at her friend who was panicing as she started to pace.

"Uh Twi you ok?" Applejack asked as she watched her friend panic even more.

"Ohhhh Applejack what am I gonna do?! The library is a mess, Im all sweaty from the harvest and if it is HIM how will I know I havent seen him in over 17 years. After I moved into the dorms for school he went missing. Everyone else gave up on him but I know he's alive since he sent me a wedding invite about 7 years ago but I couldnt go because of the whole Nightmare Moon thing. OHHH WHAT IF HE'S MAD AT ME! I didnt do it on purpose I swear I didnt." She said as her other friends started to come over and watch as she started to panic more and more.

"Um is Twilight going to be ok? A timid voice asked as Rainbow looked at her.

"I dont know Fluttershy last time she acted like this was when she didnt have a letter for Princess Celestia." Rainbow said as they all stared at Twilight before she stopped and looked up at them.

"Come on guys what if its HIM! What am I going to say help me out here!" She said begging as they came up to her.

"Ok darling calm down. Who is this HIM you keep talking about?" A elagant pony asked as she flipped her hair.

"Oh Rarity its my-" She stopped as she looked behind them and saw a dust cloud coming towards the farm before it stopped at the gate.

"HELLLOOOO IS ANYPONY HOME? MS.APPLEJACK!?" A deep voice yelled out. As the dust cleared they saw a large stallion with a small pegasus filly his back hopping up and down with a large smile on her face.

"WHOOOOO DAD THAT WAS AWESOME!" The filly yelled as the large stallion looked back at her. While the girls walked towards him.

"Calm down baby girl your aunt's coming." He said as the filly calmed down while she looked at all the mares coming up to them.

"Which one is she daddy?" She said getting excited again while he smiled at her.

"Just look for the one with the most shocked look in her face." He said as he looked at the 6 mares coming towards him.

"Howdey partner how can I help yall and how did you know mah name?" Applejack asked as they all looked at him while one mare was near faint as she looked at the huge stallion.

"Oh come on Ms.Applejack everyone knows you guys. Honest Applejack, Generous Rarity, laughing Pinkie Pie, Loyal Rainbow Dash, Kind Fluttershy and last but not least Ms. Magic herself-"

"AUNT TWILIGHT!" Star Dancer screamed as she jumped at the mare who caught her while the filly nuzzled the shocked mares chest as she looked at the stallion in shock as tears came to her face.

"Its been a long time LT." He said as he pulled the two girls into a hug as Twilight burst into tears and wrapped her hooves around his large neck and squeezed as he held her while she cried into his chest and her body shook in happy sobs. After a while she pulled back but didnt let go as he motioned for Star Dancer to come over to them.

"LT I want you to meet my daughter and your niece. Her name is Star Dancer." He said as Twilight looked at the little filly and smiled a wide smile.

"Hello Star Dancer Im sure your father has told you some things about our family?" She asked as the smile on the little fillies face dropped.

"Yeah daddy told me all about them. Daddy said that you were the only real family he has." She said as Twilight nodded.

"Yes they arent well liked by your father, not after what they did to him." Twilight said as she looked at the fillies father.

"So if you dont mind me ask-" She was stopped as he put a large hoof on her mouth and looked at her then nodded his head in Stars Dancer's direction who was busy talking to Fluttershy.

"Not here LT we'll talk when we get to your place. I want to see how big Spikes gotten since I last saw him." He said as Applejack and Rarity walked up to him.

"Hello good sir Im Rarity can I ask your name." She asked as he looked at her and took her hoof and kissed it as he looked at her as she smiled with a blush.

"Of course ma'am my name is-"

"DADDY! Ms Fluttershy said I could help her with her animals is that ok?" She asked as he smiled.

" You can help Ms.Fluttershy tomorrow baby girl, remember that were staying with Aunt Twilight tonight before we move into our new home. Ill come with you and help if you want me to. Besides we need to take a bath." He said as she nodded and started to talk to Rainbow Dash.

"His name is Dark Star and he is my little brother." Twilight said as all the girls jaws dropped as they looked at the very large stallion.

"Thats right, Im the youngest of the Sparkle family." He said as he smiled at the mares while Star Dancer jumped on Twilights back.

"Your Twilights little brother? I never knew you had a younger brother Twilight why didnt you tell us." Rarity said as she took a GOOD look at the stallion and smiled with a small blush.

"Well we've been out of touch for a long time." She said as Rarity looked at him with a smile.

"So tell me about yourself Mr.Dark Star." Rarity said as the other mares sat down.

"Awww Ms. Rarity I figured you would recognize one of your major buyers. You hurt me Ms.Rarity." He said as her eyes went wide.

"You, you mean that YOUR the Mr.Dark that buys all of my best work in stallion wear." She said in shock as he just nodded as she fainted before he caught her with his magic.

"I dont understand I just get her to make her best work for when I do business trips." He said as Rarity looked at him.

"Such a gentalcolt, but you can put me down Mr.Dark. As for my reaction, well darling what did you expect from me? Your one of my top buyers besides Fancy Pants." She said as he put her down while she looked up at him.

"Aw but its nothing Ms.Rarity your suits have helped me win more partners and if Im right boosted your business as well after I dropped your name to some VIP's on my trips." He said as she nodded.

"Indeed Mr.Dark Ive had serveral orders come from many unknowns that I never worked with that said I was the best to come to when it came to suits and dresses. I was wondering who was giving my name to such ponys to know me. So I thank you Mr.Dark." She said with a bow of her head.

"No thanks are needed Ms.Rarity. They wanted the best so I recommended you." He said as she smiled with a blush on her face.

"Still Mr.Dark thank you." She said as he smiled at her and then turned to Twilight and smiled at her.

"DADDY IM THRISTY!" Star Dancer yelled as she was trying to fly next to Rainbow who was giving her pointers.

"Ok baby girl. Take some of the water that we brought with us." He said as he used his magic to hand her a bottle of water. He looked back at Twilight who walked up to him.

"So Dark where is her mother?" She asked as they looked at the filly who plopped down on the ground and was breathing hard as Dash went down and helped her up and gave her more pointers as he sighed and looked down at his sister.

"She passed away some time ago. She died giving birth to Star Dancer." He said as a tear fell from his eye as Twilight and the girls that were near him gasped.

"Oh you poor thing Im so sorry that happened to you. How long were you married?" Rarity asked as she looked at the stallion and put her hoof on his arm.

" We were married for 2 years before she gave birth to my little world over there." He said as he pointed to Star Dancer with a smile.

"Oh Im so sorry for your loss darling." Rarity said as her heart went out to the large stallion.

"Thank you Ms.Rarity. Even though my wife is gone from this plain she lives on in our daughter, and Im going to be with her every step of the way and help her with as much as I can for the future." He said as he looked at Twilight who had tears in her eyes before he wiped them away as Star Dancer ran up to him.

"Daddy Ms.Dash said she would teach me how to fly with another filly named Scootaloo. Isnt that great?" She said as he picked her up with his magic and threw her up in the air as she fell on his back getting a giggle out of her.

"Thats great baby girl." He said as he looked at Rainbow Dash. "Thank you Ms.Dash." He said with a smile at the mare.

"Eh its no biggie." She said while she floated in the air above him as he laughed making her cock a eyebrow.

"Whats so funny?" She asked as she zipped up in front of him.

"Oh its just I was thinking how much my late wife was like a mix between you and Fluttershy." He said as she looked at him in shock.

"So where are you staying at Dark?" Twilight asked as he looked down at her.

"We're going to be staying out by the lake about a mile away from here." He said as he pointed west as she nodded.

"We just need a place to rest for tonight. If you cant LT Im sure we can find a hotel." He said she went wide eyed.

"No no no its no problem I have a extra bed that I can pull out for you guys." She said as he nodded before he looked at Star Dancer as she yawned.

"Daddy Im sleepy can we go to Aunt Twilights house?" Star Dancer asked as he looked down at his daughter and smiled.

"Sure sweetie come on Ill take you guys. Ill see you guys tomorrow ok?" Twilight said as she waved at her friends while they smiled and waved back.

"Ok darling Ill see you tomorrow." Rarity said

"Later Twilight I might see you tomorrow I have a few weather jobs around tomorrow." Rainbow said as she took to the sky with a last wave.

"Ill see you tomorrow Star Dancer and your dad to. Um if you want to." She said as he looked down at the mare.

"We'll be there Ms.Fluttershy." He said as she let out a squeak.

"BY YOU GUYS COME BY SUGAR CUBE CORNER TOMORROW! I want to see your house." Pinkie said as she bounced around while they all just smiled and nodded to her.

"Bye Twi, bye Dark Star, bye Star Dancer."Applejack said with a wave as they walked away and said goodbye to them.

As they went down the road Twilight had a big smile on her face even though she was still a little shocked that her favorite brother was back and had been married and was a father while making her a aunt.

She looked up at her brother and couldnt help but smile at the content look on her face as he would look back at the filly that looked so small on his back. He looked down and smiled at her as he started to talk.

"So how have you been big sis? Got any coltfriends or marefriends that I need to set straight?" He said as she blushed and shook her head.

"No no no nothing like that, most of the time I stay studying inside.Or helping my friends." She said as she saw his eyebrow arch.

"So no one that interests you or anything huh?" He asked as she snorted.

"I didnt say that." She said as her eyes went wide and clamped a hoof over her mouth.

"Ohhhh? My big sister has a crush? So who's the lucky stallion or mare?" He asked as her blush got bigger and bigger as tried to push him away but it was like trying to push away a wall.

"Come on Dark Star! Its a little embarrassing." She said as he rolled his eyes.

"Come on LT I wont judge you. At least tell me if its a mare or stallion." He said as she sighed.

"Well its a stallion." She said as he smiled.

"Does he live here?" He asked as she nodded.

"Yeah he's been here for a while but usually hangs out with Derpy and Dinky." She said as he nodded.

"Ahhh so you like someone that could be already taken." He said as she sighed.

"Yeah but Im not going to get between them since I know that Derpy kinda likes him." She said as he nodded.

"Hm so if they do get together what are you going to do?" He asked as he looked at her in concern.

"Well I'll just move on, its not like we were ever together so its not something to cry about. Besides he isnt the only one that Im interested in." She said before she sighed and cursed herself as she looked up a her smiling brother.

"Come on spill." He said as she groaned but smiled.

"Well there is this earth pony mare I like." She said as he smiled while Twilight told him about the mare she liked as well as any other love interest she had while he gave her some insight on what she could do to talk to some of her love interests.

"Ok Dark Ive told you about mine what about you?" She asked before she clamped her hoof on her mouth.

"Oh Dark Im sorry I didnt mean anything by it." She said as he waved her off.

"No its fine Twi even though I love my late wife I know she wouldnt want me to be stuck on her. But yes Ive met a few mares in my travels that Ive had a interest in, but they only like physical things about me like my body or my money or how I travel alot. Nothing really lasted any longer than three months before I ended it. Besides Star here never liked any of them, they just never got along so if my baby girl couldnt get along with them then they had to go. Im actually surprised that she even talked to your friends, she'll usually stay by me and not say a word." He said while looking at the little filly who was sound asleep on his back.

"Really? Hm maybe you might find someone special here." She said as they came up Twilights front door.

"Hmm maybe." He said.

(Twilights house)

Spike had been taking a nap after he was done fixing up the library. He was curled up by the stairs before he heard the door open and Twilight talking to someone.

He got up and walked into the main part of the home and saw one of the largest stallions he had ever seen second only to Big Mac.

"Well look at you Spike you've grown up to be a fine young dragon. Last I remember of you, you were just getting your second tooth." The large stallion said as the baby dragon looked at him in awe.

"Spike this is my little brother Dark Star. You remember the colt that I told you about after I stopped talking to my family? Well this is him and he even had a daughter." She said as Spike saw a littel filly poke her head out from behind her fathers head and waved.

"Hi Spike."She said meekly with a small wave as he blushed at the filly.

"Um hi whats your name?" He asked as she jumped down and walked over to him.

"Im Star Dancer me and my daddy moved from Manehatten cause daddy wants to be somewhere that doesnt have so many loud ponies." She said with a wide smile as his face got redder before he looked at the huge stallion.

"Your Dark Star I pictured you a lot smaller." He said as Dark Star smiled.

"Sorry bro in my line of work you got to be strong." He said as Spike looked at him with interest.

"But anyway Twilight can we use your shower?" He asked as Star Dancer climbed on his back.

"Sure just head down the hallway there and its the door on your right." She said as he nodded.

"Thanks Aunt Twilight." Star Dancer said as she smiled at her.

"No problem sweetie. Oh and I know some fillies that you might like Ill intrduce you to them when we enroll you in school tomorrow." She said as she beamed at being in a school for the first time. Since she traveled with her father everywhere and he hired some of the best teachers he could find to teach her while he worked.

As the pair disappeared down the hall only hearing the deep rumble of Dark Stars laugh as a excited filly bounced up and down on his back talking about all the things she hoped to do at school. As Twilight smiled at her neice she looked down at Spike who had a small smile at the filly as well as a little blush.

"Spike are you blushing about my little neice?" She said with a smile as he stuttered out denial.

"N.N.No!" He said as he looked back up at his long time friend.

"Uh huh. Whatever you say Spike." As Twilight trotted up to the shelf and grabbed a pair of towels and took them to the father and daughter as she heard them laughing making her smile.

"Here you go guys I got you some towels." She called to them as she heard them say thank you and the water turn off. She walked back to the main part of the house and up to her room to pull out the spare bed.

As Dark Star finished drying Star Dancer and himself they headed up to where they were going to sleep tonight and saw Spike already sound asleep and Twilight coming down with a towel as she headed for the shower.

"Oh Twilight why didnt you tell me to leave the water running for you?" He asked as she shrugged.

"Eh its no big deal. Your beds ready for you and Star Dancer ok just head up the stairs and its the bed on the left." She said as he nodded and looked back at Dancer and smiled as she fought sleep.

"Thanks Twilight. Im sure that you have a lot of questions about everything thats happened since I went missing but Ill tell you all about it tomorrow ok." He said as Twilight nodded.

"Ok little bro Im holding you to that." She said as she went to the bathroom to take herself a shower as Dark Star and Star Dancer went upstairs to go to bed.

As Twilight washed her mane she smiled that her little brother was alive and with a daughter no less. As she finished washing her hair and body she couldnt wait for what tomorrow will bring.

As she dried off and headed upstairs she saw her brother and neice snuggled up together. She almost laughted at how he was just to big for the bed since his hind legs hung over the end of the bed.

She pulled out a camera and took a picture of the moment as she giggled and climbed into the bed and used her magic to grab a pen and parchment as she began to write to Princess Celestia.

Dear Princess Celestia:
Today Im very happy to write to you to tell you after so long of waiting and wondering, my younger brother Dark Star came back into my life. I have even better news, Im a Aunt to a cute little filly named Star Dancer. I just dont know how to describe how I feel right now. Im happy, sad, angry and just all around glad that he's ok. If you have any advice for me please let me know.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

Twilight sighed as she used her magic to hand the letter to her pet owl as he took off to Canterlot. Twilight smiled as she got comfortable and let sleep take her.
