The Royal Parents.

"Sis I'm home" I yelled.

I had just gotten home from getting some vegetables from the market. We have been alone with only each other ever since our parent's died during a thunderstorm. Due to the deaths of our parents we were probably closer than any siblings you would know. Oh… that reminds me. We should tell you about our selves. I am a grey Pegasus with a red and blue mane and my name is Moonlight Shadow. My sister is a unicorn named Goldheart. She has a pink and white mane and tail and lilac fur(think of twilight's fur color and it is a bit lighter).

"okay just put the stuff in the kitchen" my sister yelled.

We had been forced over time steal money from richer ponies. So far we had not been caught. But little did we know tomorrow would change that.

"how are we doing in regards with money?" I asked

"not good, I think we are going to have to 'borrow' some money again tomorrow" answered my sister.

"oh…well then I'll do the 'borrowing' whilst you cause a distraction"

"alright you crazy bastard"

"hey I am not crazy! At least not yet."

The next day. Unknown street in Canterlot near the palace.

"Okay you cause a distraction while I get the bits okay?"

"kk"

As my sister headed off to cause who knows what kind of distraction this time I snuck over to the merchants stall. Unknown to me however was the guard patrolling the street at that moment.

As I silently reached into the merchant's bag of bits, I heard "hey get away from there".

"shit. time to run" I thought.

Neither me nor my sister had thought to check if the street was a dead end or not. Bad Idea on our part.

As I reached the end of the street I saw the wall and thought "shit".

"stop where you are and come with me" the guard said to me

"alright-alright"

Then before I could say anything else I blacked out.

sometime later. Canterlot castle dungeons.

As I woke up I found myself in a dark place. I also felt a warm feeling against my side. I looked over and was surprised to find my sister there to.

"Where are was sis?" I asked

"We're in the dungeons underneath Canterlot castle."

"oh"

All of a sudden we heard somepony walking towards us.

"come with me. The Princesses want to see you"

"yes sir" I replied softly.

As we walked upwards towards the throne room I began to think

"why did the princesses want to see us? Would they be very angry with us?"

the thoughts just kept swirling around my head and were beginning to give me a headache.

As we reached the throne room doors the guard stopped us.

"Wait here" he said

A few minutes later he came out and told us to go inside. We started to walk inside and that was when we noticed that we were the only ponies in the room right now besides the princesses. I also thought it was odd that princess Luna was there to as I thought she was always up only at night. I didn't mind though because she was my favorite princess. I was also scared that we were meeting with princesses because of my cutie mark. If you have ever took a look at Luna's cutie mark and then took a look at mine you could say they were the same except for the color. While hers was a dark navy blue, mine was a bright blood red. That was why I was scared because I had always worn a cape or something to cover my cutie mark. But I had no cape this time so my cutie mark was totally exposed. We came to a stop about 15-20 feet from the princesses.

"Why were you trying to steal somepony else's bits" Princess Celestia asked us softly. Luna stayed silent but I could tell she had noticed my cutie mark already.

"Because we had to" I retorted back.

"Moonlight!" my sister said sharply to me. "Don't speak to them like that"

"Sorry sis"

"Where are your parents" Princess Celestia ask my sister as I looked around the throne room

"They're gone" I said quickly.

"What do you mean they're gone?" she asked me this time

"They're Dead" I said darkly.

All of a sudden Luna started talking to her sister.

"look at his cutie mark. It is the exact same as mine but the color."

Celestia looked over at me and then looked back at luna.

"it is.. how strange".

Celestia and Luna then turned back towards us.

"we would ask that you stay at the castle for the foreseeable future due to a matter involving you two"
