Journal of a Background Character

"If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering."

-Viktor E. Frankl

Hey journal, I'm a Unicorn today.  Woke up to find movers bringing supplies into the library, went through some of the documents the boss had.  Found that a student of Princess Celestia, Alicorn of the Sun and Day, is moving into Ponyville.

So, the library has a new resident now.  Her name is Twilight Sparkle, a unicorn, she and her little dragon friend Spike are from Canterlot.  She came here to watch over the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration tonight, and since I had nothing better to do, I followed her around.

I first saw her when she met with Pinkie Pie who, as one who loves meeting new ponies, proceeded to gasp loudly and hover in the air until she flew away.  Twilight responded to this manner by speaking how weird it was.  Ha, if only she knew.

The next pony she spoke with was Applejack of the Apple clan.  Unfortunately for her, Twilight was caught up in the Apple family reunion, and was forced to stay for lunch.  I helped her out a little by sneaking food off her plate, but she still ended up feeling a little bloated afterwards.

Her and Spike met with the infamous Rainbow Dash next.  The weather mare was, as usual, working on her aerial maneuvers.  It seemed as if Twilight didn't think Rainbow would be able to be able to make it into 'The Wonderbolts', a super fast stunt team made of Pegasi, but then I realized that she was actually just goading Rainbow into clearing the sky of clouds.  The look on Twilight's face was hilarious when Rainbow proceeded to clear the sky in 10 seconds flat.

Rarity was the next pony Twilight and Spike met in Ponyville.  It was obvious from first sight that Spike was crushing on Rarity bad.  I almost felt bad for the baby dragon, if his attempts to sway Rarity wasn't so funny.

After making sure that the preparations for the celebration were ready, Twilight and Spike went off to meet Fluttershy.  I grew bored of their companionship once Spike began talking about his life story.  So I returned home to find Pinkie putting on the finishing touches of a welcoming party.  Predicting a certain reaction from the purple unicorn, I watched from the outside (for the safety of my ears) as Twilight walked into what could be considered a trap.  I was a bit disappointed that there was no scream.

=================================================

I'm rushing this part here.  The Alicorn of legend, Nightmare Moon has returned and plans to make the night eternal.  Frankly I couldn't care less, but there might be a chance that an Alicorn could be able to see or hear me.  She has probably gone to the old castle in the Everfree Forest where she used to live, and where she was banished.  I am grateful for the treks I've made through that place now, for I know a shortcut.

=================================================

*wet spots cover the journal in certain areas*

I sometimes find it hard to see the positive things in life.  I was able to reach the castle before Nightmare Moon and quickly began searching for her.  A few minutes later I found her being confronted by none other than the same mare that had just moved into town.  At first I tried to gain attention by shouting out at either of them, when that didn't work I tried jumping in front of Nightmare Moon as Twilight began to chant over five spherical rocks.  Nightmare just teleported away and in front of Twilight smashing the rocks apart.

I decided to just watch as I realized that even an Alicorn could not see me.  When the ponies that Twilight had met arrived and began to glow, I realized that they were wielding  the legendary Elements of Harmony.  The giant rainbow that struck out at Nightmare Moon returned her to the state she was before the darkness took over, Princess Luna, Alicorn of the Moon and Night.

With that, the sun began to rise and Princess Celestia reappeared, hope began to kindle within my soul once again.  I did whatever I could think of to attract attention to myself, even shouting out curses towards both princesses as they began to leave.  I next did the unthinkable as I grabbed a rock in my telekinetic grip, and chucked it at the Princess.

For a short time, I thought that I had gained Celestia's attention.  But when she looked up and all around her she simply shrugged and mumbled about how the roof must be collapsing.

It broke me. I laid down and began to cry hard, not caring if a monster somehow heard me and killed me.  I fell asleep from the tears  and woke up an Earth pony.

I have returned to my home and since then, retreated to my alcove, and began to write this entry.

Good Night.
