Hey everypony! Welcome back! I was in a great mood when I typed this up, because I've passed 200 views! Thanks everypony for reading my story because it means a lot to me. I apologize if this chapter is so short, but I kind of hit a bump in the road after last chapter, so I kind of ran out of time to make this any longer. Also I'm going to try to remember to say this next line at the start of every chapter from now on, and feel free to call me out if I don't.
I hope you enjoy this next exciting chapter, and if you like it, make sure to read the next chapter!
…After arriving in Canterlot, Nightshade went to get Mom and Dad, while the others went right to bed. I just went straight to my room and shut the door, feeling ready to collapse. I should probably shower first, I thought to myself.
I trotted into the bathroom, shut the door, and jumped into the shower. When I finished, I dried off and went straight back into my room. I simply collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep before my head even hit the pillow.
I found myself in a dream, but something was wrong. Hmm… What was it again? Oh! I remember now! I was falling and couldn't move my wings.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I screamed as I fell through the darkness. Suddenly, I crash landed on a wooden desk that exploded beneath me. "Uuh… Where am I?" I groaned as I tried to stand up. Surprisingly enough, I was completely unharmed (except for the fact that everything hurt). I looked around to find that I had landed in a small study that looked exactly like Princess Luna's.
"What am I doing here?" I said feeling puzzled.
"Move out of the way!" said a faint voice. I looked around but didn't see anypony. "Move over!"
"Who are you?" I asked the voice.
"Too late," the voice said directly above me before a pony crash-landed directly on my back.
"Oof!" Was all I could say.
"Sorry Dawn. I tried to warn you," Nightshade said as she helped me up.
"Shay? Why did you just have to land on me?" I asked annoyed.
"Hey, I tried to tell you to move," She retorted.
"Oh, that's right, sorry for snapping at you," I replied, feeling ashamed.
"AaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" A voice screamed above me before I got crushed by yet another pony.
"ACK!" I cried out, while Nightshade just giggled before helping the pony off of my back.
"Sorry sweetie, I didn't see you there," Mom said as I just groaned.
"It's alright," I said, noticing a faint voice in the distance before I rolled sharply to the right, just as Dad crashed into the spot I was just in.
"Ouch," he grimaced before getting up, "Where are we?"
"It looks like Luna's study," I answered.
"That's because it is," Luna said as she walked out of the shadows.
"Princess Luna!" I exclaimed, "I forgot that you can visit ponies' dreams."
"Yes, I can, and do any of you know why I brought you here?" The blue alicorn asked calmly.
"You want to finish our earlier conversation, right?" I suggested, afraid I had done something wrong.
"Yes, I do, and I believe it was your family's turn," she replied.
"Okay, but before we start, can I asked you for a favor?" I tried hopefully.
"Sure," she said politely. Pretty soon, Celestia, Snowglider, Sunbeam, and Nightblade joined us.
"Welcome," Luna told them.
"We're going to share stories about our past!" Nightshade said excitedly.
"And we will go first," Luna said as she and Celestia stood up and began to tell their story. When they had finished, everypony just sat there with shocked looks on their faces (except me and my family, since we already heard it).
"That sounds so sad," Sunbeam said sympathetically.
"Puh-lease, I've heard much sadder stories," Snowglider said in a squeaky voice, causing the rest of us to laugh.
"My turn!" Nightshade said quickly, I was surprised, because Nightshade was acting unusually cheerful all of a sudden. Either way, I just sat and listened to her story quietly, after she finished I started telling my past, which was followed by Mom and Dad's.
"Wow," Sunbeam said in an unsure tone, "I don't even have the words to explain how I feel about that kind of childhood."
"Well I do! I think that you guys have a very confusing and complicated family relationship if you just abandon each other like that," Snowglider explained, trying to sound nice, but it still hurt to hear her say that.
"Snowy," Sunbeam warned, glaring at the cherry pegasus.
"Sorry," Snowglider said quickly.
"It's alright," I responded, careful not to let my pain show.
"So who's next?" Nightshade asked impatiently.
"I guess I'll go," Sunbeam said as she stood, "Alright, I was born in Cloudsdale to my Mom, Windymane, and my Dad, Summerlight. I had a pretty normal life for a young filly. Err…that was until I was heading home after school and something crashed into me from behind. The next thing I know, I'm in the hospital with Snowy sitting next to me. After that, we became best friends and travelled across Equestria until we met Dawn."
"What hit you?" I asked curiously.
"I don't actually know," Sunbeam said distantly, "Snowy never did tell me." With that, we all turned to look at Snowglider expectantly.
"My turn already?" She sighed, "Oh all right. I was born in Cloudsdale to my Mom, Frostwing, and my Dad, Cherrytail. I also lived a pretty normal life, until I met Sunbeam…
That's all for this chapter! I'm sorry for the sudden drop off, but I ran out of time so I had to find some kind of cliffhanger to end on. Either way, I hope you liked it.
So remember to let me know what you think, and I'll see all of you guys in the next chapter!
