Chapters FIRST DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mommmmmieeeeee!" DJay looked around the room blindly looking for the dark patches in the white that was now her sight. She felt a slight poke on her shoulder and she jumped.
"DJay," Vinyl Scratch sighed, "I'm not sure you are ready for school." DJay turned her head to where the voice was coming from.
"But Mom!" DJay pleaded, "I've been getting prepared all week for this!" DJ Pon3 wasn't listening to her daughter, but instead was nodding her head to the music that was blasting down the street. "Mom. Mo-oo-mm?" Finally Vinyl was listening to her daughter.
"Fine Dee you can go," She sighed, "but be wary of the bullies at school." DJay nodded and picked up her backpack and stuffed her vinyl discs and her turntables in it.
*****
When she got to the school she went to Miss. Cheerilee's class. She walked in slowly and hesitantly, the other fillies and colts stopped what they were doing and looked at her. Or that's what she expected would happen. It got really quiet. "Oh! hello DJay! Nice to see you! I'm Miss. Cheerilee! I didn't know you were coming here today!" Miss. Cheerilee spoke to her cheerfully,
"Well class, this is DJay. She is the daughter to well known Dj, Vinyl Scratch, or DJ Pon-3."
A snooty voice spoke from somewhere in the back of the room while DJay looked down, "Is she blind ?!"
"Yes Diamond Tiara, she is. But, that doesn't mean she's any different than us. Right class? "
"Yes Miss. Cheerilee!" They all answered, somepony groaning with disgust. Miss. Cheerilee helped DJay find her seat and gave her some Braille books on their lessons that Cheerilee had ordered,
"Ok class!" the teacher sang out, "recess!!" DJay felt a rush of wind as the students rushed outside. She followed slowly behind.
*****
When she got outside she crashed into somepony's butt. "Hey!" The familiar snooty voice said, "Oh look Silver Spoon, it's the blind blank flank !" Diamond Tiara and some other filly laughed, who DJay presumed was named Silver Spoon. DJay narrowed her eyes and stood her ground.
"Well- well," Oh god what am I gunna say?! Djay thought to herself. Then it hit her, "Well I'm glad I'm blind! I won't have to look at your ugly faces all day!" She could hear Diamond Tiara step back and start stuttering, "I-I-I"
DJay smiled, "What? Can't think of anything?" With that DJay walked away. And as she suspected, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon watched her, dumbfounded.
*****
After the bully event DJay found the swings fairly easily and started to swing. She, a couple of minutes later, got interupted by the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "That was like, so awesome !"
A highly pitched voice said "Scootaloo stop tryin' ta be like Rainbow Dash!" A country/western voice said, a little irritated. Then came an annoyingly squeaky voice, "Apple Bloom! Be nice!"
DJay groaned and jumped off the swing, that seemed to get the fillies attention, "Oh hai DJay!" Apple Bloom said cheerfully,
"Hi um Apple Bloom was it? Yea, hi Apple Bloom." Then the filly named Scootaloo jumped in front of her,
"So," She started to speak but got interrupted by the squeaky voice, "I'm Sweetie Belle! And we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! We devote our time to finding our cutie marks!"
That was followed by a sudden yip and a laugh then Scootaloo started to speak again, "Hey we don't have our cutie marks, you don't have yours, so wanna join?"
DJay stopped walking and turned around, "Join? Join what?"
Apple Bloom spoke again, "The Cutie Mark Crusaders o' course!"
DJay rolled her sightless eyes, "Why do you want a blind filly on your 'Crusading' team?"
"Well we aren't like Diamond Snooty Pants and Silver Spoon over there." Scootaloo spoke laughingly while the other girls giggled, "we want to be friends with you!"
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom both said "Yeah!" She tilted her head and swished her tail, "Hm, I'll get back to you ok?" The CMC agreed and DJay went back inside to get ready to finally go home.
*****
"Mooom! I'm hoommeee!" DJay yelled over the music. The music got turned down slowly, like she was savoring every note,
"Hey Dee! Come upstairs and tryout your new turntables!"
DJay laughed, "No thanks mom! I'm gunna do my homework!" Vinyl came down the stairs and kissed her daughters head, "Ok Dee." She then trotted away speaking over her shoulder.
"DJay I'll be back soon. I'm going to get some food! What would you like for dinner?"
DJay thought about it, "Daffodil sandwiches and maroon carrot soup?" Vinyl walked out the door hearing her daughters request. DJay, once her mother left, sat down and thought about the crusaders. Maybe i should give it a shot , she thought.
*****
Then she tilted her head and took out her turntables and vinyl records and started to spin them. She then turned up the volume and started to create music, but then she suddenly stopped, five seconds before her cutie mark appeared, and did her homework, no idea that she was going to stop being called 'blank flank' if she went on for five more seconds.
When her mom got home she started to eat her daffodil sandwich and her purple soup, thinking about school, about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and those strange fillies who wanted to be her friends.

The Decision
THE DECISION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Running down the Canterlot street at midnight after her mother's performance. She turned to look around and saw something strange. She shook her rain-drenched blue and maroon mane while her pink eyes scanned the quiet road. she heard something. A scream. She looked around and saw a red pony walking calmly towards her. His green magic lit up his horn as he made the hill she was standing on start to crumble. She let out a terrified scream. She was in a rock fall! She tried to dodge rocks, She kept going down until something hard hit her, then everything turned black.
"DJay" She heard her mother's cry. She felt like she was being lifted into the air. Her eyes fluttered open, she saw the red pony escaping through the crowds. Her eyes snapped shut. She heard echoing, a few jumbled words, then the world around her turned dark. She was unconscious.
She woke up. Or at least she thought she did. Everything was white, a few gray shadows here and there. "DJay, we saved you. But, we couldn't save every bit of you. I'm so sorry." A shadow called out to her.
A voice broke into her subconscious,
"DJay, DJay wake up!" The voice was desperate, " DJAY!"
DJay woke up and felt around for her clock, "2:34, 2:34" She knew it was early. But she couldn't sleep. She felt something kiss her head, "Mom?"
"Yes darling. I heard you scream. You were having another nightmare? About the night in Canterlot." DJay nodded, "Mom, why did I run in the first place?" Her mother sighed,
"I don't know, DJay, I'll never know." Vinyl got off her daughters bed, "Goodnight-or- good morning it would seem."
*****
When DJay went to school in the morning she knew where everything was. She found a desk fairly easily, and she sat near Sweetie Belle. She turned to Sweetie, "What do you look like Sweetie Belle?"
Sweetie Belle jumped, "Oh! Hi DJay!" DJay looked at her with her dull pink eyes.
"What do you look like?" Sweetie Belle smiled,
"Well, I have a pink and white curly mane and tail, I have green eyes and my coat is white like my big sister Rarity's!"
DJay nodded slowly, "What about Scootaloo and Apple Bloom?" She had to ask.
"Well, Scootaloo is an orange pegasus with purple mane and tail that I think is really boyish! And Apple Bloom is an yellow filly with a glossy pink mane and tail, and she always wears this HUGE pink bow in her hair. I think if i wore it, it would always get in my face!"
DJay had to laugh at the picture in her head of Sweetie Belle with a huge pink bow, "Thanks Sweetie! And I have decided that I'll try the Cutie Mark Cru-whatevers."
"Crusaders," Scootaloo corrected from behind DJay, which made her jump.
*****
"Scootaloo!" DJay cried out as she hit the floor after jumping out of her seat.
"Yeah?" Scootaloo tried to not laugh but a snort escaped her,
"Ha Ha Ha HA!!!" Diamond Tiara's snooty voice spoke out, "It's the blind blank flank and her stupid blank flank friends!" Sliver Spoon took that moment to speak, "Look Diamond! The blindy fell on her head!" They started to laugh.
Where are you Miss. Cheerilee DJay couldn't help but think, she was to sleep deprived to do anything but pray for Cheerilee to come.
"Morning class!" Miss. Cheerilee's voice sang out. Djay heard the scuffle of chairs and then silence, "I said 'Morining Class!' " Miss. Cheerilee repeated.
"Morning Miss. Cheerilee!" Everyone but DJay cried as DJay was trying to get off the slippery floor.
"Oh DJay! What happened?!" Miss. Cheerilee's comforting voice spoke up.
"Fell," DJay coughed away dust, "Slippery floor." DJay finally got up.
"Ok DJay," She turned back to the rest of her class, "And class, today we are going to have a longer recess because you did such a good job welcoming and accepting DJay!" The class cheered.
But then, a new voice rose over the noise, "DJay Scratch?" DJay looked up, "Your needed outside, your mother's here to pick you up." DJay got up from her seat and her head tilted.
"Ok. I'm coming."
*****
When DJay got outside her mom's voice broke out against the hard wind, "DJay! Over here!" DJay walked against the wind, toward Vinyl. "Mom?" She called out to her mother, but kept walking straight.
"Hm, and I thought you were dead." A deep, strangely familiar, but not placeable voice spoke out. And that is when she ran.

CONFUSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DJay kept running until she slipped on something freezing cold. She shook her head and felt around all she could feel was the hard cold substance she guessed was ice, until her hoof banged up against something thick on the ground. What? DJay thought. She kept feeling the thick material until she came up with the guess it was a tree's roots. Then she heard a voice,
"DJay over here." She looked up and turned her sore head to where the voice was coming from. She heard a faint clip clop of a pony's hooves.
"Hello? W-who's there?" She got up wobbled a bit but regain her footing and limped over cautiously to the voice's path, "H-hello?"
"DJay!" The boyish-female voice said again, more clearly. Finally, she understood the voice.
"Mom?'' DJay limped over to her mom's voice, ''mom, it is you right?" She slipped and tripped over something hard. She heard a grunt and a groan.
"Yes sweetheart. I'm sorry I took you out of school before, somepony told me too. I, I couldn't recognize his voice to anypony I knew... OH! You're so wet! Let's get you dried off," Vinyl walked over to her daughter, "Let's go home."
"O-ok," DJay shivered from the cold wind.
*****
When they got home it was still early so DJay asked if she could go back to school, "No DJay, there is a snowstorm coming and you might get hurt or worse lost and hurt." Vinyl said quietly to her daughter,
"But Mom! I'm not weak! I can find my way... Snowstorms may get someponies lost but not me!" But Vinyl interrupted her.
"No. Now off to bed. You had a hard morning," DJay nodded her head reluctantly and started slowly upstairs.
"And DJay," DJay looked in the direction of what she thought was where her mom was, "When you wake up, you will tell me what happened, when you left school, right?" DJay shrugged
"Dunno," With that DJay went up the final steps to bed and turned comfortably in her blankets. She fell asleep instantly.
*****
*"Hello?" DJay looked around, she was in her father's house in Canterlot. "D-dad? Are you back?" She heard the door open and close quickly and heavily. DJay crept to her room door and looked out the crack of the door. She saw somepony shuffling through her father's work files. The pony took out a file that had a green sticky note on it, It had a messy scribble written on it. DJay was to far away to read what it said. Then the unimaginable happened, the door she was leaning on creaked. The strange pony looked up, startled. It quickly and messily gathered her father's file and ran out of the house.
*****
She woke up suddenly, and sat up immediately, "Just a dream." She said over and over trying to reassure herself. A very familiar dream. When had I seen that house, that room? She still had no clue, until she pictured the house in her mind, It wasn't just a dream! It was my dad's old house. Why would I remember that now? She then started to wonder what was in her father's file. "Mom?! Come up here. We need to talk."
She heard her mom trotting up the stairs. "Yes?"
DJay looked up at her mom, "Tell me about Sky Disc, Tell me about my father." Pon3 looked horrified, she dreaded this moment,
"W-what would y-you like t-" The Dj shook her mane, "What would you like to know?"
DJay leaned forward her blind pink eyes shining brightly, "Everything. "
Vinyl blinked, "Everything?" DJay smlied,
"Everything, everything you can tell me," DJay stumbled over her words sensing her mom's unwillingness.
Vinyl Scratch sighed, "Good. That means I'll tell you nothing," She saw her daughters mouth open in the beginning of a protest, "Because theirs nothing to tell. Why? Did you have a dream about Sky Disc?" Vinyl hated to lie to her daughter, but DJay had no problem with it,
"No." Vinyl flinched at her daughter's bluntness.
"Are you, um sure? " DJay got up.
"Yes. Now Vinyl," Her mother frowned, "I have to go to a Cutie Mark Crusaders meeting at Applebloom's farm, you know, Sweet Apple Acres?" Her mom answered her quietly,
"Yeah, I know where it is," Vinyl then thought for a bit before answering in a motherly tone, "What's my name? "
DJay stepped back, not used to her tone, as her mom didn't have to use it since her surgery, "um Mom?"
Her mom nodded but then remembered, "I expect you to call me that." DJay nodded, then got her boots on and felt around for her jacket,
"Mom where's my jacket?" She heard shuffling and then felt her warm snow-jacket against her blue coat, "Thanks,"
"Do you need a ride? I'm taking a taxi over to the diner I'm going to, and wouldn't mind to drop you off." DJay nodded and snuggled against her mom.
