"Jean can yo...can you hear me?" Twilight's voice echoed in Jean's head.
He gasped as he sat up in his bed wiping the sleep from his eyes. He quickly jumped from his bed and turned to his window. He hoped over his 360 controller to the window and leaned so that his head hung outside.
"T-Twilight...is that you?" Jean questioned mentally. His eyes staring at the black shadows that were formed by the streetlights. The moon was full tonight but it failed to cast a shadow amongst the brightly lit street lamps which hogged the quiet roads. The trees outside gently rustled under the forgiving breeze outside making a light almost hypnotic rustling. In the distance sounds of cars could be heard driving to and fro.
"What am I doing? She wouldn't be here." Jean whispered as he pulled his head back into the safety of his room.
"Oh thank Celestia, you're alright!" Twilight responded mentally. Jean jumped, startled. He swallowed hard as a dizzy feeling crept into his brain.
He stumbled back until the back of his legs bumped against the edge of his bed. He fell bottom first onto the soft sheets of his bed.
"You're breaking the hearts of many loving mares, Jean. I won't be the one to tell them. You will have to be a stallion and tell them about where you are going and why, yourself." Celestia's voice echoed in Jean's mind.
"Jean ...what was she talking about?" Twilight asked.
Jean's heart began to beat furiously in his chest as he searched his room for an answer but couldn't find one.
"Jean, are you there?" Twilight questioned.
He could hear the worry in her voice. "I-just...nothing. listen...um. I-" Jean's throat closed just as he was about to say another word.
"Jean? What's wrong? Tell me where you are and we can talk about whatever is bothering you. I read a book abou-"
"Twilight... I-I'm sorry but..." Jean's heart felt as though it was going to jump out of his chest.
"Jean? What's wrong?" Twilight asked her concern growing in her voice.
"I can't talk with you." Jean said. There was a pause which lasted between the two for what seemed like hours.
"Jean... what do you mean we can't ta-talk anymore?" Twilight questioned the concern in her voice slowly giving away into sadness. Jean could hear it...to him it sounded close to the start of a sob. Jean grabbed the edge of his bed and squeezed as tight as he could.
"Listen...don't ask why but I can-...I don't want to be with you no more...I'm sorry." Jean said trying to keep himself from crying.
...Twilight's house,ponyville...
"J-Jean yo-but...w-we just...you don't mean that." Twilight said in disbelief of what was said. A tear fell from her right eye.
"Jean! Are you there?...Jean?"
...1 week earlier...
"Go on and say it! YOU'RE SORRY YOU FUCKED UP AND THAT YOU'LL GO BACK HOME!" A fifteen year old boy said. A voice rang from the depths of his conscious but the words were unclear. Jean stared at his sister his eyes watered.
"Well? Will you come back home? With me? And your Xbox and all of the Doritos and Mtn Dew and..."
"Stop! I...I..."
...say it...
"...I..."
...Say it!
"Jean I know we just met but I love you."
SAY IT!
"...I'm sorry Rena... But I can't leave..." Jean looked down to avoid his sister's eyes, which tears began fall from.
...Stop hesitating and say it!
"...I don't think I can say...it..."
...SAY IT!
"Jean?" Rena asked her face twisted with concern and confusion.
...SAY IT!
"...I...Can't say...Goodbye..." Jean mumbled still staring at the ground.
"Jean! I don't know what's wrong with you but you're obviously not thinking clearly. Yo-Look at yourself Jean...They turned you into a pony. A freaking pony. Things weren't suppose to be like this big brother! Don't you remember? The life you had back at home! Our parents are so worried about you...Do you know I waited and prepared myself to bring you back! We care about you alot more than these dirty horses whose best offer are these tight, warm twinkies! You are a human, a gamer,...and...and my big brother." Rena said, crying. Jean stopped breathing for a second as his most fondest memories returned to him. He then took in a deep breath as he slowly rose his head til his red tearful eyes met her depressed form. Rena sat limp on the ground her head hung down in sadness but her long black hair had provided a barrier. Before Jean could say a word a flash of white light engulfed then for a second then subsided.
"It seems things have changed quite quickly. From what I heard so far it seems like your sister and your family really want you back home." Princess Celestia said standing to the right of both Jean and Rena. Jean slowly turned his head to face the princess.
"Ye-" Jean stopped himself as he felt his throat close tight.
"I assume you know what happens if you choose to go home. I have found a way to send you there...but-"
"Just send me back." Jean said quietly in a half sob. Celestia stood silent looking at him. Rena quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and stared at her brother in shock.
"Jean are you sur-"
"Please, do it now Princess. I-I just... tell my herd goodbye for me." Jean requested. Celestia let out a long sigh before shaking her head.
"You're breaking the hearts of many loving mares, Jean. I won't be the one to tell them. You will have to be a stallion and tell them about where you are going and why, yourself." Celestia said. Jean stared at Rena for a second then back at Celestia.
"I kn-know just...I can't say goodbye...not to them." Jean said staring at the ground. Rena crawled towards him and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you big brother." Rena said.
"Jea-Jean are you sure you want this?" Celestia asked as her horn glow lit the area in a bluish hue.
"Yes, please." Jean sobbed.
"Sooner or later Jean you will learn to grow up. You can't make a promise then break the other to keep the first one you made. If your first promise was to your sister you should've kept it that way." Celestia said in a stern voice before the bluish hue turned into a bright light...
"We love you, Jean; we hope you stay here forever and ever." Pinkie's voice echoed.
"I know we just met...but I love you." Twilight's voice echoed.
"We should do this again sometime, cutie." Rainbow Dash's voice echoed.
"I never felt quite this way before... but I think... I might... *squeak*" Fluttershy's voice echoed.
"You're just the cutest thing I ever seen. I am glad to be in your herd." Rarity's voice echoed.
"Ah'll always love ya sugar cube even if you and mah brother don't see ah to ah always." Applejack's voice echoed.
"After my past years of being alone, I'm glad I can spend the present with one such as you." Luna's voice echoed.
"Jean, promise me that you will be here with me even after you move out or get a girlfriend." Rena voice echoed.
"I promise."
"Promise..."
"Promise..."
"Promise..."
