And here's my revenge on Sakura *Giggles* And there is a little bit of LeoxRaph fluff for you guys as well.

And would you believe that I wrote this story over the course of one day? Damn, this is a very addictive plot bunny.

The student of the Solar Prince Leonardo, Sakura, ushered her new friends and fellow elements out of the ruined room that had been the site for Nightmare Moon's final stand to give the two Princes some privacy before they headed for the party that the Element of Laughter was going to be holding to celebrate the Lunar Prince, Raphael's, return to sanity.

Leo watched with fondness as the Element of Magic left with them, his precious student and little sister was growing up, soon, she would be ready.

He turned his attention to a guilty looking Raphael that was watching the Elements leave, his eyes lingering on their wounds.

"It is not your fault Raphael." Leo told him. "The fault belongs to me. I put our little ponies in danger when I failed to realize that you needed me more than they did.

I was selfish, I cared more about my duties as the Solar Prince and because of that, I ignored my duty as an older brother and I didn't see that till it was too late.

I couldn't save you from the Nightmare and I couldn't change the punishment handed to you by the Elements, I let you down little brother..." Leo sighed and looked at his hoofs. "I'm so sorry. I don't deserve to be your older brother."

"Shut up Leo!" Raphael snapped. "It's my fault okay! I let my pride get in my way and I lost sight of what was important to me! I forgot about those who loved me and took care of me! I fell to the darkness within my heart and I let it rule me and do you know what Leo?! I HATED IT! THE MORE THAT I HATED THE DARKNESS, THE STRONGER THE CONTROL IT HAD OVER ME GOT! I HURT OUR LITTLE PONIES! I HURT THOSE WHO I SWORE TO PROTECT AND... I... I ... HURT YOU! MY BROTHER! I HURT MY OWN BROTHER! I'M A MONSTER LEO! A MONSTER!"

"Would a monster sing me a lullaby whenever I had nightmares?" Leo asked as he draped one of his wings over Raph's shoulders. "Would a monster fight Discord and Sombra to protect our little ponies from them? Would a monster use his own magic to shelter and protect those who had no parents from ponies that wanted to hurt them?"

"You are not a monster Raphael." Leo told him. "You are a guardian little brother. You protected our little ponies and you never stopped caring about them, even in the grips of a Nightmare, you never stopped fighting to protect them.

Even us royalty can make mistakes Raphael, we are not the gods that our little ponies think we are, we are entitled to make mistakes and screw-ups every once in a while but it's the lessons that we learn from them that help us to become better rulers for our little ponies, so do not cry Raphael, for this mess with Nightmare Moon was born from our mistakes, it makes it our fault and we will recover from this, we'll face this together, like we have always done in the past, as brothers.

And now, I ask you to accept my apologizes Raphael, not as the Solar Prince but as your older brother, for failing to be there for you when you needed me the most."

"Only if you accept mine Leo." Raphael said. "Not as the Lunar Prince but as your younger brother, for all of the pain and sorrow that I have caused you during my descent into madness..."

"Your apologizes have been accepted Raphael." Leo said as he muzzled his brother and rested his head on top of Raph's.

Raph smiled as he muzzled his head into the side of Leo's neck, feeling his brother's head on top of his own. "Shouldn't we be going now Leo?" He asked. "Our little ponies are waiting for us."

"They can wait a little bit longer." Leo said. "I have waited over a thousand years for this, if I can do that, then our little ponies can do the same thing."

"Fair enough." Raphael said. "They can wait a little bit longer, I missed you Leo. It was so lonely and cold up there."

"I know Raphie." Leo said, feeling a single tear slide down his cheek. "And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Raphael said, feeling the tear land on top of his head. "You're forgiven Leo. I forgive you.

I love you Oniichan."

"I love you too Otouto."

Me: *Whistles*

Sakura: You know what, I'm not gonna tell Leo and Raphie about you having ideas for your own death fic...

Me: Yes! *Punches the air*

Sakura: *Pulls out her tessens* I'm gonna kill you instead.

Me: *Pales and runs for it*

Sakura: *Runs after me* Get back here Chaos! I swear that it won't hurt a lot! I'll make it quick and painless!

Me: Read and review to save me from being killed by my own OC! Please!

Sakura: GET BACK HERE! *Throws a tessen at me*

Me: *Ducks to dodge it* SOMEBODY SAVE ME PLEASE! SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!
