It was the third day of him being in the hospital now, and he couldn't believe how comfortable he was with his new wings. Not that he had conscious control over them, but for the fact that they just felt so natural. Though one thing he wished he could control was Lyra poking his wings in their sensitive spots.

"Found another one, that makes five in total so far," Lyra said, giving him an evil smile and before she could poke his wings again Derpy slapped her hoof away.

"I think you've tortured him enough, I mean look at him. He's obviously very uncomfortable right now," Derpy said fluffing his pillow.

"Derpy, my pillow is fine," he said. Once she was satisfied though was when she stopped. "So, Luna went to talk with her sister again today?"

"Yup said that Princess Celestia wanted to talk more about her royal duties or something," Lyra replied. "You know I really love this color of green that most of your feathers are."

"Yeah, you only told us like fifteen times so far." He said giving a little chuckle, though that quickly stopped when they heard a knock. "Come in!"

They sat there waiting for whoever it was on the other side to open the door and come in, though they were all surprised instead to see a sudden flash of bright light. When their vision recovered, they couldn't believe that it was Celestia who had teleported in the room. Though she still carried her kind and friendly smile.

"Sorry for the entrance there, but I didn't want to draw too much attention." Celestia smiled at them. and that smile only warmed as she saw the two mares sitting by his bedside.

"Tia, if you only waited for me you wouldn't have startled them so much," Luna said walking in through the door, giving them each a smile.

"Sorry, but one princess is one thing, but with the both of us here might cause unwanted attention," Celestia replied, watching Luna go over and give him a little peck on the cheek.

"What's that look for Tia?" Luna asked once she looked back at her sister.

"Oh nothing, just glad to see that you're happy," Celestia answered.

"So, before you two completely forget we're here too, what are you doing here Celestia?" He asked suddenly.

"Well, I simply wanted to check in on you and check out your little herd you started. These two seem pretty lovely," Celestia said making Derpy and Lyra blush a little. "Also, as I've been told, you seemed to have figured out that I had Twilight and her friends watch you."

"Yeah, it was kind of hard to miss, and sorry for interrupting just thought I throw that out there." He said.

"Don't worry about it, I understand and I just wanted to say that I am sorry for doing that to you. But from what I understand, you seem to have an understanding of my viewpoint on the matter." Celestia said, eyeing his wings.

"Yeah, I do understand. At least from what I know so far, but I can tell there is something more too this than what I do know." He said.

"Yes, well that is something I wanted to talk with you about privately if your marefriends won't mind?" Celestia said, looking at each mare including her own sister.

"Whatever you have to say or talk to me about, you can do in front of them. Especially since one of them is your sister and fellow princess." He replied, not really wanting them to leave.

"Luna can stay, but I must ask for these other two mares to leave the room for our talk," Celestia said, and before he could respond Derpy spoke up.

"That's fine, after all, he only needs one of us for support until the others arrive. Come on Lyra," Derpy said pulling Lyra away, who didn't say a word, and once the two left Celestia let out a sigh of relief.

"I really am sorry Brandon, but this is a topic I didn't want them to hear," Celestia said, giving him a pitiful look.

"It's fine like Derpy said as long as I have a little support I think I'll be fine." He said, looking over to Luna who nodded her head. "But is this about me growing wings?"

"In a way, yes," Celestia answered. "But it's more about magic."

"Figured," he mumbled.

"What do you mean by that?" Celestia asked.

"Well you see Tia, it seems that he had the ability to control the Angel magic as we're calling it and preventing his wings from growing," Luna answered before he could, making Celestia look at him with more curiosity.

"Hmm, that is a strange ability to have. but then again your form of magic is different as it is with every creature." Celestia said.

"So, exactly what about magic did you want to talk about?" He asked, getting them back on track.

"Ah, well as I know you're well aware you're going through some changes. From what I understand, you seem to have developed a form of Earth Pony magic. Which the doctors mostly wrote off since your species seemed to be more earthbound and have more sense of agriculture in your history. But then during one of the N.M.S a doctor took note of a slight change suggesting that the nature of some of your magic may be have been changing to that of pegasus magic." Celestia explained.

"Yes, I figured that." He said rolling his eyes. "And since I have wings, I think I already know where you're going with this. With the whole magic thing."

"I can believe that, and since you know of your species history then you know why I insisted on having somepony watching you," Celestia said.

"Yeah, but what you need to understand is that not all humans are power hungry. But I would like to ask you a question, have you ever heard of the saying that if one does not learn from the past they are doomed to relive it?" He asked.

"Of course, and I understand that not all humans are power hungry. But magic has a very unique way of corrupting sometimes." Celestia replied.

"I bet, but that isn't why I brought up the saying. I brought it up because I do believe that at one point in human history we were able to do magic. One of the main examples of this would be Merlin The Great. A wizard not only known as possibly one of the most powerful, but a good wizard who used his great magic to help out a kingdom that had fallen into chaos. Though there are other wizards I could probably think of, but trust me when I say I won't let this magic corrupt me. After all, like you said it's very different than that of ponies," he said.

"He has a point Tia," Luna said, making Celestia give a sigh.

"I know, but until we know how magic will affect him fully he will have to be watched," Celestia said.

"And that's fine by me," he said giving Celestia an understanding look.

"As it is with me," Luna said.

"Though with that out of the way, for now, I'm surprised you haven't actually said anything about me and Luna." He said.

"And why should I? Luna seems happy, you seem happy, and those two mares seem happy. If anything, it may help with helping keep you under control if you do develop the ability to do magic." Celestia said, giving them another warm smile.

"Grace, please stop right there and knock first." The three of them went silent at the voice and then heard a knock at the door.

"Come on in Grace," he called and they saw the door crack open and a little filly stuck her head through, her eyes going wide at the sight of Celestia.

"Oh, hello little one. Are you a friend of Brandon/s?" Celestia asked, her smile is even more kind and gentle than normal.

"Um, uh, y-yeah I am. A-and your P-princess Celestia," Grace said, walking in a little nervously.

"Why is she acting like that? Yesterday she seemed a lot more open?" Luna whispered.

"Because she already knew at least three of us, granted not much has changed but then again you two are princesses." He whispered back. "So Grace, how was the rest of your day yesterday?"

"It was great!" Grace suddenly said excitedly, only to go back to looking around nervously.

"You know, you seem like a cute little filly. How about you let me do your mane sometime?" Celestia offered, and Grace's eyes lit up.

"Really? You would do that?" Grace asked.

"Of course, if you only stop being so nervous and come sit next to me," Celestia said, sitting down and patting the floor next to her.

Grace hesitantly walked over and sat down in the spot Celestia had patted. Though the little filly looked very shy and timid right now, she had a nice little smile and her one wing extended. They all started to make a little small talk to help ease Grace, and when Luna told Celestia about how she offered to take Grace flying every now and again, Celestia could only let her smile become more natural as if she saw something that they didn't.

"Well, it's been nice getting to know you Grace, but I have to go. I have to get back before Blueblood does too much damage," Celestia said.

"Okay, and it was nice to meet you too Princess. I can't believe I got to meet both of you!" Grace said, hopping around in a similar manner as what she did the day before, and she gave Celestia a big hug. "Thank you soo much for letting me meet you."

"You're quite welcome, now I'll see you again. But bye for now," Celestia said returning the hug and breaking it before teleporting away.

"Wow, that was so cool! Can you do that?" Grace asked looking at Luna.

"Yes, I can," Luna answered.

"Well, today has been interesting so far. But it seems to be looking up," he said almost wincing at saying that as a chill went down his spine.

"Oh, hey Grace how are you doing?" Derpy asked as both she and Lyra walked in.

"Absolutely awesome! I got to meet Princess Celestia!" Grace said, and they all couldn't help but smile at the little filly's excitement.

"Well that's good to hear, and how are you doing Brandon?" Derpy asked.

"Fine, we're doing just fine," he replied, giving her a little wink.

"Hey, you know I wanted to test out this new song that I wrote, and I think now would be a great time to use it!" Lyra said suddenly, and they all agreed.

After a few hours later, listening to Lyra practice her music and then switching over to playing a game which Grace seemed to be oddly good at. The little filly made every one of them go bankrupt in a matter of three rounds. They then switched to another, which lead to Luna winning by a hair.

"Hmmph, I still think you somehow cheated," Lyra said.

"Will you stop being such a sore loser?" Derpy said, poking Lyra in the side.

"Yeah, no one likes a sore loser!" Grace said sticking her tongue out, making Lyra do the same.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant sight to see." They all turned to see Dr. Hayseed standing there, though he couldn't help but chuckle a little at the fact that both Grace and Lyra were still sticking their tongues out. "Careful girls, your faces may freeze like that."

"It can?!" Grace said in surprise and started poking her face. "Is it frozen right now?"

"Nope, looks like you stopped before it could freeze," Derpy said.

"Whew," Grace said wiping her forehead.

"Yup, now let's go through this, extend the left wing first." Dr. Hayseed said, and he did just that and followed instructions as best as he could. "Very good, and just like anyone with new wings, it seems you still have trouble with motor skills. That's only natural, keep at it and you'll get the hang of it."

"Wow, they seem to be bigger than they were last time I was in here," Grace said, giving his wings a stare down, and reached out and touched one, lucky enough missing a sensitive spot. "And they're very soft too, almost like a feather pillow."

"Yup, they are a little bit different from Pegasus feather's though," Hayseed said. "Well anyways. that's all for today and tomorrow we'll see about letting you out."

"Okay, and thanks." He said.

"No problem," Hayseed said, and walked through the door.

"I have to go to, I don't want to miss my dinner!" Grace said, before running through the door herself.

"Can't believe it's six, I thought it was only three," Lyra said.

"Well time fly's when you're having fun," Derpy said.

"I must agree, it does go by faster than normal it seems," Luna said.

"So, what do you want to do now?" He asked, looking at the three mares and gulped at the looks they were giving him.

"How about for right now, we just snuggle up to you," Luna said, before flapping her wings and landing on top of him, Lyra and Derpy got on either side of him.

"But I'm not tired just yet," he said.

"So, you don't need to be tired to do this," Lyra said.

"Yeah, I mean Grace is right, your wings are like feather pillows," Derpy said.

"Um I-I need an adult?" He whimpered, feeling them running their hooves along his wings.

"We are adults, and so are you," Luna whispered but was interrupted when another knock came.

"Thank you whatever merciful presence is out there," he muttered as the three mares scattered off of him. "Um, come in."

As the door swung open, there was Twilight wearing an uncomfortable smile as she looked between them. The tension made him give a tiny cough, and his three marefriends had deep blushes on their faces. Twilight stopped by his bed and took a minute before she spoke.

"Um, sorry for interrupting whatever you guys were doing, but I came by to switch out the games. So, which ones have you guys played?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, these right over here," he answered pointing to a tiny stack on a table.

"Great, so did you guys have fun?" Twilight asked before her cheeks went a little red. "I mean with these games, you know, playing with them together?"

"Yeah, we did and thanks Twilight. But you said you came to switch games, you do realize I'll be checking out tomorrow right?" He asked.

"Of course, I just meant that I came to pick these up and to see if you wanted another game to play," Twilight said.

"Let's see what you have," Lyra said, and Twilight then showed off what she brought.

"Oh, I want to play this one next!" Derpy said, and pulled up a game that looked like some weird contraption meant to catch the players.

"You know this game reminds me, Twilight do you know where Daisy is?" He asked.

"Your pet rat? I believe she's over at Fluttershy's right now," Twilight said making him give a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, I haven't really seen much of her lately," he said.

"No problem, but I better get going. My parents are coming into town tonight to visit and will be staying for a few days." Twilight said, and they all said their goodbyes, though it wasn't long before another knock came.

"Wonder if Twilight forgot something?" He asked. "Come in!"

Once again the door opened, though it was slower and hesitant and they all four waited. Once again he got a chill up his spine as they finally saw who was on the other side. None other than the orange mare herself, Applejack. Just seeing her brought back the hurt, even if he did do it to himself, he knew it was the right thing to do.

As she entered, she hung her head down making him wince a little as she refused to make any eye contact. Though he didn't blame her, as his three marefriends were all giving her glares. He looked at all three of them and shook his head and they took the message and got up and started to leave.here
