After falling unconscious from his major scare at all that had happened, Danny found himself opening his eyes and found himself in a very familiar environment. He appeared to be in the living room of his old house as he recognized the brick walls and the small TV as well as the two person couch he was never allowed to sit in.

Suddenly he heard the door to his house swing open and he turned to see a younger version of himself walking in very sad like in a black suit with his father stumbling in drunk while Danny had tears streaming from his eyes.

"Stop your crying boy!"His dad said as he pulled out a beer from the sleeve of his own black suit."This is all your fault you know, she wouldn't have died if you hadn't had been such a coward and took it like a man!"

"It's not my fault... You kept hurting her..."Young Danny said before getting slapped across the mouth so hard that he fell to the floor.

Danny looked away as he saw his younger self bursting into tears as he began to take slaps and kicks to his face and body, he then remembered this old memory as the day of his moms funeral, but this was hours after the funeral.

"Don't you talk back to me boy! And don't you dare blame her death on me! Not my fault she couldn't take it like a real woman!"The man yelled in his ear.

"You shouldn't be hurting anyone at all...!"Little Danny whined through his sobs before getting his back stomped on.

"I SAID STOP YOUR CRYING!"His dad roared as he picked the kid up by his shirt and slapped him again.

This memory was tearing Danny apart as he shook with fury and heat, he squeezed his eyes tight so he couldn't see the violence any more and covered his ears to block out the yelling and all the traumatic crying he did.

"ENOUGH...! MAY HE NEVER AGAIN HAVE THESE NIGHTMARES!"Boomed a loud voice that appeared to have come from no where.

Suddenly he opened his eyes to see his entire surrounding area cracking and crumbling around him, It then suddenly shatter around him as he then found himself floating around in a familiar darkness.

As Danny once again found himself floating in the darkness, he knew for certain that he had fallen asleep after what he had just seen today, and seeing that dreadful memory again was a bit much for him at the moment. He tried to open his eyes, but all he could see was bright lights and the silhouette of a pony, he closed his eyes in fear as he felt himself drifting away into a world of uncertainty. It was then that he heard the most gentle voice he had ever heard in his life.

"Danny... I know you are scared, and I know you will never admit it... But I beg you child... Do not be afraid, no pony nor that monster of a father will harm you, open your eyes and see your new world..."The soft voice echoed in his head.

Danny had his doubts, but then reluctantly began to open his eyes as he saw the same brightness and the silhouette of the pony, he started to look around as his vision suddenly began to become clear and found himself back in the bedroom he first awoke in.

His vision became clear as he let out a relieved sigh as he then tried to get out of bed again, but that was when he realized that he was not alone. He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up as he heard a female sigh behind him before then hearing a giggle.

"Good morning Danny, did you sleep well?"The very soft voice suddenly sounded off.

Danny suddenly froze as he heard the voice from right behind, he slowly began to turn his head as he then felt something nuzzle the back of his neck. Finally as he turned, he got the shock of his life as he was then staring face to face with the midnight blue pony he saw from before, his eyes widened in shock while the Pony just smiled at him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"Danny screamed as he then quickly rushed out of the bed to run.

The pony had then suddenly became alert as she sprang from the bed in fear and scooped Danny up in her arms as she did her best to calm Danny down. He kicked and struggled against the pony while she just held him in a tight embrace while rubbing his back with a hoof.

"Get away from me! Get off me right now!"Danny yelled as he struggled and threaten to bite her.

He tried to bite her, but all he manage to bite down on was a hard substance that almost tasted metallic, he opened his eyes and saw that he was biting on the pony's silver horse shoe and quickly released her.

"Shh... It's alright Danny It's just me...calm down, do you not remember me...?"The pony asked as Danny started to calm down.

He took deep breaths as he slowly ceased his struggling and looked into the eyes of the now worried pony as they were both now floating in mid air, he held onto the ponies neck for dear life as they began slowly descend to the bed. They slowly came to a landing on the bed as the mare released Danny from her grip as he crawled back from her, his heart was beating fast as he recognized her from not just the voice in his room, but also the pony in the portraits.

For a few minutes they were in a staring match with shock vs worried as Danny remained as still as a statue. The pony then let out a sigh as she then crawled toward him and made her horn glow in a dark blue aura, he rose an eye brow to the horn before suddenly feeling himself being picked up. He looked around and saw himself floating in midair as he began to move into the arms of the pony, he felt like struggling, but so far the pony has done nothing to make him fight her off. He then widened his eyes as the pony suddenly gave him a warm and embracing hug and felt her fur brushing against his cheeks.

He felt a bit uncomfortable about the hug due to him not knowing a friendly touch, but he knew that there was no fighting this pony.

"Are you alright little one...?"The pony asked.

"Uh... I'm... Fine..."Danny said in confusion.

"That's good... When I had seen what had happened to you, I just got so worried..."She replied while Danny continued to stare at her horn and her wings.

"Who are you...? What are you...?"Danny asked as he reached out and gently rubbed at her wings.

"Well... For your first question, my name is Luna and for your second one I am an Alicorn pony my sweet child, Alicorns are ponies that posses the gift of flight and magic as you see,"The pony known as Luna explained.

"Magic...? Is...that what you just used on me?"He asked as his sights trailed to her horn.

"Why yes it was Danny, It was also what I used to bring you here into my world,"Luna replied as the boy lowered his head a bit.

"So you really where the lady that was in my room..."He said as he then turned away from her.

"Well... Yes, is there something wrong? If you wish not to talk about that any more I understand,"Luna said as she slowly parted from their long hug.

"Okay... Where am I?"Danny asked as he looked around the room once more.

"You are in the world of Equestria child, It is a land of four races of pony, Pegasus, earth pony's, unicorns and of course my kind the Alicorns,"Luna explained.

Danny listened, but he did not respond as he continued to look around the room and looked towards Luna thinking this whole place was just a dream, It was then that his stomach began to growl, he was still feeling hungry from when he awoke earlier.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, you must be hungry and thirsty after the day you had,"Luna said as her horn glowed blue.

Then in a sudden flash of bright light, a tray with a tea pot of tea, cups and a plate full of apple wedges appeared and floated in mid air as it was levitated towards them, the teapot had then floated off the tray along with the tea cup as it began pouring tea into the cup. Danny felt his jaw dropping as he was watching actual magic happening before his eyes, the cup then floated towards him as he the took it into his shaky hands and looked to Luna.

"It's okay, It's just some tea, It will make you feel better,"Luna encouraged as Danny's hands still trembled a bit with concern.

After taking a deep breathe, Danny put the cup to his lips and sipped a little fresh tea, the tea was delicious and the most refreshing thing he had tasted in a long time, he couldn't help but take another sip of the delectable tea as Luna then levitated an apple wedge to him.

"Here, a friend of mine knows how to get the freshest of apples, I promise this will be delicious,"Luna encouraged once more as she levitated an empty tea cup away from him.

He gave her a small nod as he then took the wedge and looked at it before eating the wedge whole, the crisp juiciness of the apple was delectable and also refreshing as he reached for another one.

"Easy now Danny, try to eat slowly, we wouldn't want you getting a tummy ache,"Luna insisted.

Danny snapped his head and let out a shameful sigh as he returned the apple wedge to her as if he had just done something wrong.

"I'm sorry... I was... Just hungry,"He said in a low voice.

"It's alright, I just didn't want you to hurt yourself, you didn't do anything wrong,"Luna insisted as she gave him the wedge back.

"Okay..."Danny said as he the slowly ate the wedge this time.

While Danny ate his apple wedges quietly, Luna could not help but remember what she had seen that night she took Danny away from his home, It was not guilt that gripped her, but sadness that a child had endured such a terrible life that made her heart hurt. She could feel the boy's animosity and his lack of trust feeling towards others, she knew that this child was going to need some special treatment if he was ever going to get better, and that's when It hit her.

"Danny...? There is some pony I would like you to meet, do you want to meet her?"Luna questioned as he finished his apple wedges.

"I...guess,"Danny said with uncertainty.

"Do not worry Danny, I'm certain that you will like her very much,"Luna encourage as she picked Danny up and helped him off the bed.

She quickly made the tray of tea and apple wedges disappear before suddenly kneeling down in front of him, offering him a ride. He complied and quickly climbed on Luna's back as she levitated the doors open and left with the boy hugging her tight to stay on. He then found himself moving through the hallway he had ran down and even seeing the stallions that were chasing him earlier as he turned his face away so he couldn't see them any more.

Luna was then feeling him becoming uncomfortable as she noticed that all the guards eyes were now on her and the boy as they walked through the hall, she cleared her throat roughly to get their attention as they then focused back on standing guard. She then looked back at Danny and smiled at him while he held onto her and gave her a very small smile to show her that he was willing to trust her.

Suddenly as they were turning a corner, Luna stopped immediately as she almost got into a head on collision with none other than the stallion prince Blue Blood who now had a roll of bandages around the fore arm that was still sore from Danny biting him earlier.

"Oh... Hello aunty Luna, tell me did you get rid of that thing that bit me yet, I'm afraid to walk the halls now thanks to that... Thing,"Blue Blood said as he gestured to his fore arm.

Luna just glared at the stallion as she then tilted her head slightly to reveal Danny holding onto her tightly as he then began to glare at the stallion, Blue Bloods eyes widened as he then backed away and then decided to just slip pass Luna in hopes of avoiding the child.

"For Aunt Celestia's sake Aunty Luna! Get rid of that wretched thing before it hurts some pony else!"Blue Blood called out as he ran off.

"That is entirely out of the question, do not worry about him Danny, Blue Blood is a spoiled stallion that is hardly fit to be a stallion, he will not hurt you little one,"Luna explained much to Danny's displeasure of being called little.

"I'm not little, and I'm not worried,"Danny said.

"I know you're not..."Luna said softly to put the boy at ease.

It was then that they came to a giant royal looking door, Danny looked over the massive door in amazement and it's shine as they were then suddenly approached by a stallion that appeared to be a guard, but wore heavier looking armor while his blue mane showed through his helmet.

"Good morning princess Luna, your princess Celestia is waiting for you inside,"The stallion said before noticing Danny on Luna's back."Uh... princess? Is that the creature from earlier? didn't it attack your nephew?"

"No prince Shining Armor, Blue Blood scared him and he was only defending himself, try to be nice to the child in the future,"Luna said as she passed the stallion now known as Shining Armor.

"Right... Sorry about that little guy..."Shining Armor said in guilt while Danny just stared at the stallion that was clearly a unicorn.

As they entered through the doors, they found themselves in a large castle like throne room, the bright white, gold room had pillars just like the ones in the hall ways as well as the same long red carpet that ended on a massive throne. On the throne there sat none other than the other alicorn pony that was in the portraits with Luna, there was no mistaking that light rainbow mane and tail, the pearly white coat, and the strange mark of the sun on her flank.

As they approached the pony, she looked up from some papers she was signing and saw Luna approaching her, she then stopped signing papers and got off the throne room, she then walked over to Luna and hugged her not knowing that Danny was right on her back.

"Good morning Luna, did you finish checking up on your new guest?"The white alicorn asked.

"Not exactly, I thought it would be prudent If you were to meet him yourself Tia,"Luna replied as she turned her head to reveal Danny as he buried his head in her fur.

Celestia held onto her smile as she walked to Luna's side and brushed at Danny's hair to put his nervous spirit to rest, he felt the hoof brush through his hair and lifted his head up to see the white alicorn and gave her a nervous look.

"Hi..."He simply said.

"Hello child, It's nice to meet you, my name is Celestia and I'm sure you already know Luna, what's your name?"The pony now known as Celestia asked in a gentle voice.

"I'm... Danny,"He said as he then recognized Celestia's voice as the motherly voice he heard before.

"It's very nice to meet you Danny, my sister told me of what you have been through, and we decided to take you away from all that trouble, I hope you are not upset about it,"Celestia explained.

Danny just shook his head no in response and laid back down, suddenly he accidentally laid flat on his chest and let out a yelp as he felt his ribs tighten and hurt once again. The alicorns jumped at his tiny yelp and quickly adjusted him so he wasn't laying on his chest.

"Easy Danny... You're still injured from last night, I'll call the doctor so he can be checked up on,"Celestia said as they both watched the boy hold his ribs.

"Okay... I will see if I could find him something to play with,"Luna added as she turned to leave the throne room.

"That's a wonderful idea Luna, just keep a close eye on him,"Celestia said as they left, but not before earning a small wave and an innocent smile from Danny.

Celestia felt her heart melt for the child as she watched them leave the throne room while she suddenly made her horn glow and made a piece of paper appear in front of her, she then made a quill pen appear as she began writing a letter for not only the doctor, but other guests as well to come and see the new member of the family.
