Chapter 3: A Deeper Revelation Dawns

Everyone gasped at the sight they were witnessing as Brock fell to his front knee and breathed heavily. he looked up to see if his spell had worked. to his everlasting pleasure it had worked, Celestia and Luna's parents were freed from the ancient spell that binded them to stone. "Your highnesses." everyone but Celestia and Luna said and bowed. the King and Queen of Equestria levitated off of the pedestal's and fainted side by side. everyone gasped as they saw the two fall over and Brock dived over to help them, even in his weakened form he was still incredibly strong. "Luna get the guards to help me, we need to make sure that these two are alright." Brock said shakily. "Yes Brock." Luna replied and darted into the castle. she came running back out with a whole squad of guards that helped escort Brock to the royal infirmary. Brock laid the two gently down on separate beds side by side in the infirmary and walked back into the garden. everyone was waiting to greet him with a barrage of questions. "how are they? are they gonna be alright? what happened to them?" everyone shot questions at him one after another. "calm down everyone! the doctor said that they're both going to be fine. being encased in stone for over a thousand years just took it's toll on the two. they'll be fine in a couple of days they just need to get some rest." after hearing this everyone calmed down and went home to get some rest, Brock especially needed the rest after pulling of a spell that large. everyone went to bed for the night and waited for the day to pass by. Brock was in bed sleeping when he started to wake up. he heard a slight breathing coming from behind him so he yawned, sat up and looked to see what it was. "AAH!!" Brock screamed and nearly fell out of bed as he saw pinkie pie sitting there, staring at him. "oh.... oh thank celestia.. Pinkie, what in the name of celestia are you doing in my bedroom at eight in the morning?!" Brock asked, a bit angrily. "oh is it really that early in the morning? i thought it would be later by now." pinkie said happily. "by now? what do you mean, how long have you been here?" Brock questioned. "about two and a half hours. i think." pinkie said and started thinking back. "and may i ask WHY you've been here for that long?" Brock said i little bit mad now. "oh silly, i ALWAYS wake up early for a birthday party!" pinkie said and ran out the door. Brock had calmed down and just chuckled. "well i should know better than to think pinkie, of all people, wouldn't do something like that." Brock said and chuckled again. "hey Silver wake up. huh? what is it?" Silver asked. "pinkie's in our house. oh that? yeah i know about that." Silver said and laughed. "of course you do and to think i thought it would be a surprise to you." Brock said and got out of bed and got dressed. he put on his everyday cloths a full black set of cloths. it consisted of a short-sleeve black shirt with a white circle and a crescent moon in it, black leather gloves, a black jean jacket with the same emblem as the shirt but on the shoulders, black jeans, and a pair of black biker boots. he put on his armor he got from Silver ten years ago over his normal cloths. Silver got dressed and put on her armor. both sets of armor were polished and shined just like they did over a thousand years ago. Silver had gone to wake up Starfire for the party. "come on Starfire wake up. it's time to get up and go to your birthday party." Silver whispered and he slowly got up and got dressed. Brock, Starfire and Silver walked into town and headed straight to Sugarcube corner where the party was set up. when the three arrived everyone was there. Twilight and her friends were all there with their boyfriends and husbands. Twilight was there with her boyfriend Stardust Moonlight. Applejack was there with her husband Jackson Brown. Rarity was there with her husband Sky Liner. Fluttershy was there with her boyfriend Shock Storm. Rainbow Dash was there with her husband Prism Shine. and Pinkie Pie was there with her boyfriend Blue Mist. they had all met and gotten together over the course of the time between Starfire's birth and his tenth birthday. it had seemed that after Starfire was born everyone started having good luck or better luck than before. "hey everybody!" Brock shouted as he walked in with Silver and Starfire. Brock had become good friends with Twilight's boyfriend and her friends boyfriends and husbands over time. they were a bit weary of him at first, seeing as how he was married to the woman who was once nightmare moon. but they got used to him and had become good friends with him. "BROCK what's up man?!" all six of the guy's shouted back. "Not much just came to celebrate my sons birthday. which is kinda' the reason this party is set up after all." brock said sarcastically. he walked over to his friends and started talking to them and Silver went to talk with her friends. Starfire had gone to introduce himself to Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "h-hello?" Starfire said weakly. "hey what's up?" Scootaloo asked. "m-my name is s-starfire. i'm Brock's son." Starfire said. he was still shy about making new friends. not nearly as shy as fluttershy but still shy. "oh it's your birthday today am i right? yes it is." Starfire replied happily. "hey i got an idea, wanna be friends with us?" applebloom asked. "i'd love to be your guy's friend!" Starfire said jumping up and down happily. "well that was quick." Brock said as he walked over. "hey dad, what's up?" Starfire asked happily as Brock walked over. "i was just coming to let you know pinkie's gonna be cutting the cake in a minute or so." Brock said and knelt down next to his son. "Hey Scoots, AB, Sweetie. Hey Brock. "they all replied. "wait... you know them? of course i do their some of my friends sisters. except for Scootaloo she's Rainbow's biggest fan." Brock said and stopped. "hey Scoots didn't Rainbow adopt you? yeah she did and it was the BEST day of my life!" Scootaloo shouted. "alright calm down Chicken girl." Brock joked and Scootaloo looked at him sourly. "NOT cool man." Scootaloo said. all of them laughed and walked over to the cake. everyone except Celestia and Luna were at the party. Brock asked why they weren't there and Silver told him Celestia had a project she was working on at the time and would be unable to attend. Brock understood and kept onward. "alright pinkie go ahead and cut the cake." Brock said. she did just that and passed out the cake and the real party had begun.

Back in Canterlot Castle Celestia was sitting in her chambers, crying, with her sister at her side. "shh, calm down sister. now tell me, what is the matter?" Luna said comfortingly. her sister was still crying as she looked to her sister and smiled weakly. "oh...... it's just that the memories of a thousand years past have come screeching back after the events last week." she said and started crying again. "what do you mean Celestia?" Luna asked. "i mean the memories of all the time i spent with Discord as my boyfriend and how happy we were together have just come running back to me and that's what's been bothering me." Celestia said. Luna looked out the window as if searching for something. "it's alright Celestia, it's alright." Luna whispered to her sister. "Thank you Luna, you have always been so kind to me whenever i need it." Celestia said and hugged her sister. "so do you still have feeling's for discord?" Luna finally asked Celestia. "what do you mean Luna?" Celestia asked, shocked at the question. "i said do you still love discord?" Luna said. "i'm not sure what to think of him anymore. i once loved him, and then i hated him. it's been a thousand years since then and i'm not so sure what i think of him anymore." Celestia said to Luna as they sat there talking. "i guess if i were tell you if i loved him or hated him i'd have to say........." Celestia stopped and thought long about her decision. "i guess i'd have to say that i still love him." Celestia finally said. "well then why don't you tell him that?" Luna asked. "because for one i have no idea where he is. and second what would everyone else think of me?" Celestia asked her sister. "that doesn't matter Celestia, what matter's is that you are truly happy. and if being with the god of chaos will make you happy then you do whatever you want to. and if you want to be with him i can find him for you." Luna said to Celestia. "thank you sister, i would truly appreciate it if you did." Celestia said and smiled for the first time all night. "well then i'll go get started on my search for him. you just some rest Celestia." Luna said to her sister and kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. Celestia laid down and went to sleep. Luna had begun the long task of finding a spell that would allow her to track down her sisters old boyfriend. it had taken her about an hour and a half to find the right spell but she found it. a tracking spell that would allow her to find out where discord was hiding by activating the spell on something that belonged to him. she flew to her ancient castle in the everfree forest and used the spell on some of his teeth that Brock had knocked out. she then created a glowing path that lead from the teeth to where he would be located. she flew through the air and followed the trail to a very far away cave. Luna landed at the entrance of the cave and her horn lit up ash she walked into the cave slowly. "hello? hello?" Luna said as it echoed. "who is it now? Luna stopped as she heard a familiar voice towards the back of the cave near a fire. "it's me Princess Luna." she replied softly. "and what do YOU want from me? haven't you and your friends caused me enough pain for one lifetime? or was my suffering not enough for you?" Discord asked her as she sat next to him. "i came to see how you were doing. and why would you of all people care about me?" Discord asked sourly. "i didn't come for myself. i came on my sister's request." Discord stopped and looked at her. "Celestia asked you to come find me?" Discord asked with a hint of hope in his voice. "yes she did i had spoken to her about her relationship with you eons ago and i asked her if she still loved you." Discord sighed and looked into the fire. "and she said she hated me right?" Discord asked. "no in fact she said if she had to pick and opinion on you she said that she still loved you." Discord's expression changed and his eyes shot up to luna. "she..... she still loves me?" Discord asked. "yes she does, and she said once i find you to give you a gift." Luna said and her horn began to glow. she lowered it down and touched Discord's head with it. after a flash of light shout out of the cave, Discord's body had been fully healed and all of his injuries were fixed completely. "so...... why isn't she here instead of you?" Discord asked after being healed. "she needed to get some rest, today was a very emotional day for her, with our parent's being revived and everything with you." Luna was cut off by a hand at her shoulder. "wait, did you say your parent's are back?!" Discord asked. "yes i did. but that doesn't matter do you want to come say hello to Celestia in the morning?" Luna asked hopefully. "I would be honored to." Discord said and smiled at her.
