Hello, peoples. I have come with the answer to your prayers. Just so you know, the summary said Crossback hadn't been seen in five years. However, he isn't remembered by any of the children born that night, and they're all eleven now. It'll be explained here in this chapter. Anyway, THE FIC IS THE THING!
I only own my OC's.
Frost Night's POV:
"Come on, Flutter! I don't want to be late!" My twin sister was being a bit sluggish this morning for unknown reasons. Probably fixing up her mane for the umpteenth time.
"Give me a minute!"
"Come on! Mom already has breakfast made!" This was true. I could already smell my mother's famous muffins downstairs.
Finally, she came out of her room. Her mane was a little frizzy in the back, but it was nothing noticeable. She was now fixing her tail, trying to make every hair obey her command. I stopped my rose flanked sister. My flank was covered by a white shield and black sword. "You look fine, Flutter."
"But Frost, it's school picture day. I want to look my best."
"You can finish at school. Now come on!" I grabbed her hoof and began to drag her down the stairs. Reaching the kitchen, we found Mom and Angel Bunny.
She turned to us and smiled. "There you two are. Come on and eat."
We all sat down and began to eat. Halfway through my second muffin when I noticed my mother caressing her necklace. We found her doing that a lot. There was only one thing on her mind when she was doing that.
Flutter picked up on it also. She reached her hoof to Mom's. "He'll come back."
Mom looked up to look up into her eyes. "I know. It's just that... he was sent on a mission for the Princesses and... we lost connection with him five years ago." We saw her begin to cry slightly.
"Mom?"
"I'm alright. J-Just, go on. You'll be late for school."
I nodded and went over to Flutter. If I hadn't had dragged her out, she would never leave Mom's side.
Flutter Back's POV:
Frost began to lead me out of the cottage. He knew that I didn't want to leave Mom when she was upset, but we had to go to school. Once we left, we began heading to the school. I was hovering above Frost while he ran his hardest. Somehow, he still beat me to the building, even though he did almost run over Granny Smith in the process.
Once at the school, we reported to Ms. Applebloom's room. Already there were our friends Ricardo and Snowy Dream. They were Mrs. Rarity and Mr. Rodrigo's kids and, amazingly, born the same day as us. When we took our seats, Ms. Applebloom went over how picture day would work.
"Alrighty," she said to the roughly fifteen of us. "Soon, a photographer will come 'round ta our room. When he does, we're all goin' line up at the back o' the room. Ah wan' everypony to smile mighty nice, or else. Understood?"
Everypony in the room took one glimpse at the sword and we all nodded. She, Ms. Sweetie Bell, and Ms. Scootaloo have been carrying them around as of late. None of understand the reason, but they must have one. The three were master sword mistresses, so they knew their way around a sword.
Soon, the photographer came to our room. He was a brown unicorn with a gray mane and tail. He seemed nice, even if he had to yell at a few of us to straighten up. Once his camera was set up and we were all at the back of the room, he said, "Okay, smile. One... Two... Three."
Suddenly, the entire building shook. Ms. Applebloom put a hoof on her sword. We all ran out of the building to see what had shook it. I couldn't believe what I saw out there.
Standing in front of the building were roughly fifty black ponies. Their eyes were green and their mouths were formed into evil smiles. Our teachers, with the exception of Ms. Cheerlie, grabbed their swords tightly. Then, they rushed into the ponies, fighting off as many of the creatures. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I suddenly found myself running with my brother and my friends.
One of the black ponies landed in front of us. Frost stood tried to protect me, attempting to pull off some magic that Twilight had taught him. The creature, however, simply knocked him to the side and continued walking towards me.
I thought it was going to get me and do who knows what when a flash of light nearly blinded me. Then, standing in front of me was a white... something. In it's hand it held a sword, which it used slay the deadly creature.
When it was finished, the something tossed behind to me a necklace. Then, in another flash of light, it vanished. I was left holding the necklace.
Frost Night's POV:
After recovering from the knock that the creature gave me, I looked over to see if Flutter was alright. She had in her hoof a small pendant that matched my Cutie Mark. Running over to her side, I got a better look at it. On the back was the inscription Forever loved and protected.
"Where did you get that?" I heard Ms. Scootaloo ask from behind me.
Flutter just stared at it. Then she looked up at me. "Come on."
She started running back towards our cottage. Our friends and teachers started to follow suit as we ran back home. When we did, Flutter started knocking on the door. "Mom! Open up!"
After a while, she finally obeyed. "Oh, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell. What brings you three here?"
"Changelings attacked the school, Fluttershy," Sweetie Bell answered.
I saw my mother gasp in shock. "But, how?"
"There's something else," Flutter said, handing her the pendant.
When she took it, she took a step back in shock. "I-It c-can't be. It j-just can't!"
"What is it?" I asked. Mom never got this upset ever.
She looked up from the pendant with tear-stained face. "This pendant... belonged to... your father. Where did you get it?"
Flutter answered with, "Somepony threw it to me."
"I-It must have been him!"
Scootaloo stepped forward. "Fluttershy, don't get too worked up. He hasn't been seen in over five years."
"Then tell me why I have this pendant."
Ooh, here we go! That's how you start a fanfiction. I hope that this one eventually lives up to the standards set by the first. And before you begin complaining, remember how bad the beginning of Crossback was. R&R for me.
