The Ultimate Surprise
Chapter 13: Another daughter and being a father
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Ugh… my head hurts.” I said walking with fluttershy and Screwball in ponyville.
“Why?” Screwball asked as she held onto my arm.
“Mom, and aught Celestia said that seeing as i'm a prince now I had to learn all of the laws and stuff, they had me doing it all morning since I woke up.” I replied.
“DAAAAD!” Scootaloo yelled running up to us out of breath.
“Whoa, calm down Scootaloo.” I began. “What`s wrong?”
“Look!” She said pointing to her hip. On her hip was a shild like cutie mark with red, white, and purple stripes. It also had a wing and a lightning bolt within the wing. “I GOT MY CUTIE MARK, AND SO DID APPLEBLOOM, AND SWEETIE BELLE!” She yelled happily. “We were being nice to diamond tiara and helped her figure out what her true talent was then poof, a big light engulfed me and the others when we high hoofed and we had our cutie marks.”
“Way to go!” I said happily. ‘i guess this is what the doctor and paradox meant by things going differently.’ I thought.
“Yeah! and get… this… hey thats diamond tiara and her parents.” Scootaloo said
pointing to the ponies behind us. We all watched as diamond tiaras parents were shouting at her, they wore faces of such rage that it cannot be explained. Diamond tiara was now openly crying but her parents still were yelling at her.
A crowd began to form around the seen. In an instant my mother and aunt Celestia appeared beside us.
“Dillan my son we have come to congratulate my new granddaughter on her cutie mark, and…” Mother luna stopped talking when she realized what was happening. “Whats going on?” She asked.
“Diamond tiaras parents are yelling at her and they made her cry.” I said with venom “I can't stand seeing children cry.” I said as I walked over to the crowd and made my way through with everyone else intow.
“How dare you embarrass your mother in front of the entire school!” Filthy rich yelled.
“I was protecting my new friends!” Diamond tiara yelled tears in her eyes. “After everything I did to them they still wanted to help me! So I was helping them!” She cried.
“Shut up!” Spoiled rich yelled as she slapped diamond to the ground. “You ungrateful little bitch!” She said as she stepped on tiaras leg making it snap.
“Ahhh!” Tiara yelled as her leg broke into.
“Don't you ever! Talk to us like that again! Especially after I just payed for your school's new playground!” Filthy rich said kicking her.
The crowed gasped at the sight, but none moved to help because they thought it wasn't there right. My mother and aunt Celestia had sad expressions on their faces.
“Why aren't you doing something!” I asked them in a venomous tone.
“We… cannot.” Aunt Celestia said sadly.
“This is technically a family matter, we cannot interfere” Mother Luna said.
“This is child abuse!” I said angrily as I continued watching the family.
“I've had enough of you!” Filthy said stepping on tiaras chest and pushing down. “You're no longer our daughter! You can stay here on the street you bitch!” He said.
I was pissed beyond all hell until I remembered a law that aunt Celestia passed three hundred years ago. “That's it!” I said with a grin.
“What is?” Aunt Celestia asked.
“Law 13 passed in 1715!” I said happily. “Stop that this instant!” I yelled at the family as aunt Celestia smiled in realization.
“This is a family matter you bastard, stay… out… of… it.” Spoiled rich said realizing who she just said that to. “Prince Dillan. Hello your majesty.”
“Don't even start!” I yelled. “Ultimatrix Cyclone!” I yelled transforming into Cyclone before teleporting two guards to that spot before transforming back. “Guards arrest Filthy rich and Spoiled rich!” I yelled making the two of them gasp.
“What! Why!” Filthy rich yelled over tiaras crying.
“For child abuse and child abandonment! Oh and lets add attempted murder, I mean you were just standing on her chest and putting presser on it which could have killed her! ” I yelled. “In accordance to law 13 subsection 12 you two have been found guilty of all three! That law is still very much in effect an I will personally see to it that it will be carried out! Also according to the same laws, I am the one who gets to decide how long you're going to be in the dungeon!” I yelled smiling in victory.
“That can't be!?” Filthy shouted at me.
“Actually, it is.” Mother Luna said grinning.
“Indeed, over the years it was carried out less and less however I will also personally see to it that it's carried out.”
“B-but she.” Spoiled tried to say.
“Is an innocent child who was trying to protect her friends.” I said calmly. “She was being what you two apparently never are… nice! She was right to call you out. Guards… Arrest them and take them two the dungeon for… Fifty five years to life!” I yelled getting an applause from the crowd.
“Yes your Majesty.” The guards said taking the two to the train station.
I turned to Diamond Tiara who was still crying. “It's OK, they can't hurt you anymore.”
“I… I don't understand, I was mean to the crusaders for years and nopony wanted anything to do with me!” Tiara said crying into my shirt. “And now I'm nice to them and now my parents want nothing to do with me… is something wrong with me?” She cried.
“No, no you're not tiara.” I said rubbing her back. “Your parents are just to snobby and mean to be nice. You don't need to be mean, and you can still be happy with a family who's just as nice as you” I said drying her tears.
“W-what family could want me in it? After everything I've done.” Tiara said looking at me with puppy dog eyes.
I looked towards mother Luna, Aunt Celestia, and Scootaloo. Mother Luna nodded her head, Aunt Celestia was smiling a worm smile and nodded, and Scootaloo was jumping up and down quietly saying ‘please’ over and over again.
“Well… you could come live with me and Scootaloo.” I said smiling as I pulled out a bean.
Diamond Tiara was looking at me as I gave her the green bean and made her swallow it. “Wow! I'm fixed, and… are you saying you want me to be apart of your family?” She asked. “You want to adopt me?”
“Well, the answer to that question is that same as the one you give me for the question I'm about ask you.” I said helping her up.
“What question?” Tiara asked.
“Do you want me to adopt you?” I asked her.
Tiara was looking at me with tears in her eyes and she began to shake. “Y-you want me to decide?” She said with a shaken voice.
“Of course, Tiara.” I said getting down on my knee and smiled at her. “You were one of the biggest bullies in equestria, but you turned yourself around. You've learned your lesson, and you're sorry for your mistakes. Plus I'm sure Scootaloo would love to have a sister.” I said hugging her. “I would be happy to have you as a daughter.”
“... Yes… yes! I would be happy to be your daughter.” Tiara said tearing up.
“Yeah! I have another sister!” Scootaloo said happily. “Well… a real sister.”
We all walked back to ponyville and to sugarcube corner. When we entered we saw Pinkie behind the counter.
“Hi guys, what's up?” Pinkie said.
“Well… I've got another daughter.” I said.
“What!? How?” Pinkie asked.
“Break the fourth wall and find out.” I said as Pinkie closed her eyes and tilted her head up wards. In less than an instant she was hugging Tiara and crying.
“How could they do that!?” Pinkie said.
“It's OK… I've got another better family now.” Tiara said smiling and huging Pinkie back.
“OK let's get some food then it's time for bed.” I said buying food from Mr and Mrs cake. Once we were all full we all went our separate ways Mother Luna and aunt Celestia went back to canterlot, and me and the girls agent back to the library.
“Hi diamond Tiara what are you doing here?” Twilight asked when we entered.
“Well…” Tiara began.
“I've got this” Screwball said putting her hand on Twilight's head and focussing.
“How did you do that? I thought your chaos magic wasn't working? Also sorry, and congratulations Tiara and you two Dillan.” Twilight said.
“Thanks.” Me and Tiara said in unison.
“My chaos magic came back a bit, but I can't do much.” Screwball said. “Could you teleport me and mom home please?”
“Sure.” Twilight said teleporting them away.
“Well, we're going to bed.” I said as all of us went into my room. I set Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo in my bed, and kissed them good night. I then went to the cough that paradox teleported into my room when I was gone and fell asleep. I woke up needing to go to the bathroom, when i got back I noticed that Diamond tiara wasn't in the bed with scootaloo. I figured that she just whent to get a glass of water or something and waited for her to come back so I could tuck her in again. I waited for three hours until I finally got up to go looking for her, I was scared and worried that something had happened to her even though I just adopted her she was still my new daughter and I was afraid that something happened to her.
I went looking around ponyville: I checked the school, I checked at fluttershy's cabin knowing that it's a safe place for animals and children. I decided to go to hr old house to see if she was there. I found her in her old room crying her eyes out, I knew what she was crying about and decided to see if i could help her.
“Tiara?” I said. She spun around tears down her face, I gave her a sad smile and sat down next to her. “Do you want to talk about it, I know it will be hard but it'll be better to get it off your chest.”
*sniff* “I'm fine, It's just that… my whole life I was taught to be exactly like my parents.” Tiara began while hugging me. “But now I see that If I want to be happy, and have friends I'll have to… not be like my parents but it's hard.” She said crying again.
“If things were easy then they wouldn't be worth doing.” I said looking her in the eyes. “You are an amazing little fill, you stood up to your parents when most illys would have been too afraid to. You made sure to stay true to your real self, and stood up to your friends. You've learned one of the biggest and best friendship lessons… Being loyal to your friends no matter what.” I said hugging her.
“You're starting to sound like Celestia from what the crusaders told me about Twilight's friendship report replies.” Tiara said.
“That's because I've personally seen what can happen if you arant loyal to your friends, and… It isn't good. now how about we go back to bed?” I asked her.
“Yeah thanks for the talk… Dad.” Tiara said jumping off the bed and grabbing some stuff.
“You don't have to call me dad ya know.” I said helping her pack a bag she ad.
“I know but… you've been more of a dad to me today, than my own father has my whole life so… you're my dad and you adopted me so.” Tiara said.
*Ha* I laughed “You're right I guess, let's go home… Princess.” I said with a smirk.
Tiara just smiled at me and laughed. “Please don't call me that, after everything i've done I don't deserve it.”
“Ok Tiara, let's go.” I said holding her hand as we went home. Once we got there We quietly walked back Into my room.
“Where were you?” Scootaloo asked sniffing.
“Scootaloo? what`s wrong?” I said Tucking tiara back into bed.
“I had a nightmare.” She replied.
“Oh...Ok want to talk about it?” I said sitting in between her and Tiara.
“It… was about my real parents.” She said cuddling into me. “It was the day they died… There was a fire in my house, I was sleeping over at a friends house but I lived down the road and I could see the smoke. when I realised what was happening I ran home but when I got there I could see my house starting to fall down, and my parents were screaming.” She said now crying openly.
“I get the idea.” I said hugging both of them. “Listen I might have just adopted the two of you but your my children now, And I'll do whatever I can to keep you happy and safe.” I said kissing their foreheads. “I understand that you miss your parents, but I`ll always be here for you both no matter what.” I said nuzzling them. “Now you two need to get some sleep.” I said starting to get off the bed.
“No! Stay here with us please.” Scootaloo asked. “I want you to stay here daddy.”
“Yeah… me to dad, After today I could really use the company of a real father figure.” Tiara said smiling.
“Ok girls.” I said lying down with them. “Time to go to sleep.” I said as they both snuggled against me and fell asleep, with me soon following after thinking. ‘this is going to be Interesting in the following months, I can feel it’
