lost and scared

the next day sing song got up on her own and fell down the stairs, no pony was there to help her get ready.

[canterlot]

"he..hello.? is anypony there?" sing song asked as she trotted into a door, she got no answer as she tried to find the door and get outside. the sun was shining and there wasn't a single pony on the street.

singsong blindly trotted down the street as she tried to find her way, it wasn't long until she ran into something.

a blue unicorn used her magic stop a pot sing song had knocked off a table. "hey watch where you're going, i saw you bump into that table, why aren't you heading to the coronation of princess twilight everypony is there right now," said the mare

"i'm so sorry, i didn't see that there," singsong said bumping into the table again

"are...are you alright little one" the mare said trying to get singsong's attention,

"no not really i can't see anything and i don't know where my family is," sing song said as she sat down and started to cry

"no no no, don't cry ill help you find your family, can you tell me what they look like?" the mare asked innocently

"i can't tell you, i'm blind i don't know what they look like," sing song started to cry even more

"they are probably at the coronation like everypony else,"  the mare said as she took sing song by the hoof and helped her to the coronation.

it took a little while to get there but eventually they got to the coronation just in time to see princess twilight go by in a carriage

"isn't this amazing?" the white mare asked singsong forgetting she was blind

"i still can't see anything, sing song said as she sat down again,

"oh yeah that's right sorry" the mare said digging at the ground "whats your name little one? little one?"

sing song had disappeared...trotting off in the way she thought was home. she felt she had been walking forever, and in reality she had it had been 2 days since she started. she was no longer in canterlot...she had ended up in ponyville.

a new caretaker

as sing song realized that she had been walking forever she stopped to take a break, and feed dizzy, but dizzy wasn't there she found her way to a well and leaned up against it.

"dizzy? where are you dizzy" she shouted as a dark blue stallion walked up to his door and heard sing song shout

"are you ok there young one you look lost, where are your parents," he asked singsong

"wh..who's there" singsong gasped, the stallion noticed something was wrong right off the bat,

"don't worry im here to help you, now tell me where are your parents," the stallion took notice of singsong's eyes and started to wave a hoof in front of her face. sing song didn't react.

"i see" the stallion said as he took note of singsong's reaction,

"see what?" sing song asked looking in the wrong direction

"oh nothing, say can you tell me where you are from?" the stallion asked

"i..i'm from canterlot," sing song stuttered

"well you are along way from canterlot. how did you get here?" the dark blue stallion asked curiously

"i am? i thought i was heading home," singsong said while she started to dig at the ground,

"so you are lost, what is your name little one?" the stallion asked

"i'm singsong," singsong said as she laid down,

"nice to meet you singsong i'm midnight breeze, is there something wrong with you?" midnight breeze asked

"yes there is i'm blind, i can't see where i'm going." sing song stated blatantly

"i knew it just making sure that my suspicion was correct," midnight breeze said as he opened the door to his home "well would you like to come in, don't worry ill guide you,"

singsong's eyes lit up in a grayish pink tone "really? you would let me stay with you?" sing song sat up and walked in the wrong direction

"hey don't walk off in the wrong direction let me guide you," midnight said as he helped singsong into his house.

"this is really nice of you sir...i. i mean midnight," sing song said stuttering a bit as she stumbled up the stairs.

"its nothing really, i don't usually have guests over but you're a special case," midnight said in reply as he opened up the door to his house and used his magic to bring a pillow from up stairs for singsong to lay on

"you must be exhausted walking all the way from canterlot to ponyville, go ahead and rest ill be back later," midnight set singsong on the pillow as he went back to the open door and started to head outside,

"ill be here on this comfortable,...bed," sing song said as she started to yawn and fall asleep.

first day in ponyville

sing song had just woke up and she was already smelling pancakes, there were two voices coming from below her. she didn't remember going up any stairs

"mi... midnight?" sing song asked in a tired voice

"oh she's awake," one of the voices said as the sound of hooves got closer

"good morning little one I've got someone who wants to meet you" midnight said as he helped singsong out of bed and down the stairs.

"hello there, midnight told me about your predicament and i wanted to see for myself," a purple unicorn stated as she got closer to singsong.

"twilight don't be so upfront and business at least introduce yourself first," midnight said as he got singsong a plate of pancakes.

"oh yeah where are my manners, i'm twilight sparkle," twilight announced, as she unfolded her wings and shone her magic brightly.

"twilight? i've never heard of you, sorry" singsong said as she blindly started to eat the pancakes. twilight was taken aback by this comment

"never heard of me? i'm princess twilight, can't you see i'm an alicorn?" twilight shone again

"i'm sorry," singsong sat down as if she had said something wrong,

"um twilight, singsong is blind she can't see," midnight whispered to twilight

"i completely forgot about that, im so sorry little one," twilight apologized as she said some other things to midnight,

"oh singsong, will you be okay if i leave you alone for a bit, I've got some stuff to do today but ill be back soon," midnight asked singsong as he started to open the door and walk outside.

"i'll be fine, i guess i'll just stay here," singsong sighed as midnight started to cast a spell on singsong and a red orb started to float above her.

"you can wander around the house just try not to break anything please," midnight said as the door closed and singsong sat down.

sing song had been there for hours just sitting there, doing nothing, she was fast asleep when the door opened and midnight stepped in with a few friends following,

"is this the little one you are taking care of?" a pink earth pony asked as she bounced into the house

"of course pinkie, who else would be in here," the blue pegasus with the rainbow mane replied,

"aye' reckon' that this here bed is for her," another pony said as she  carried a small bed on her back,

"she looks like a lot of trouble, oh fluttershy, get in here darling," a marshmallow unicorn shouted

"i really really don't want to, what if she is mean, or scary looking," the soft yellow pegasus was pushed into the house by the pink one

"shhhh, she is sleeping please don't wake her yet, i'll introduce you to her as soon, but first lets get this bed up stairs," midnight said as he used a levitation spell on the bed and floated it up the stairs and set it down at the top, the blue pegasus flew up, lifted the bed and moved it right next to midnight's.

"let me wake her," midnight said as he softly nudged singsong "time to get up there are some ponies i want you to meet,"

singsong was slow to get up, she rubbed her eyes and yawned, "is that you midnight?" she asked

"yes, it's me, i've brought a few friends for you to meet," midnight stepped back and let the ponies introduce themselves

"hi there, i'm pinkie pie, i know your new here and i just know that you and i will get along just great wouldn't that be so much fun i can show you arou--" pinkie pie was cut off by applejack

"alright there sugarcube no need to talk her ears off, ahm apple jack, owner of sweet apple acres,"

applejack stuck a hoof out as a gesture for a hoof shake, sing song did nothing,

"i'm sure we will have time for pleasantries later applejack, but it's time for introducing ourselves, ahem, i'm rarity, owner of the carousel boutique," rarity whipped her hair extravagantly,

"yeah we've all been there rarity, but i'm sure she has heard of me, i'm rainbow dash, winner of the best young fliers competition," rainbow dash flew around in a tight circle,"

"you've already met me," twilight said

"i'm...fluttershy," fluttershy said shying away

midnight stepped forward and introduced singsong,

"this is singsong, she is blind, and she will be staying with me for a while," midnight said as he picked up singsong,

"oh, that must be terrible darling, i mean, good luck" rarity said as she took a look at singsong.

"well she doesn't seem to be a problem," midnight boasted as he saw the cutie mark crusaders from his window, they  were running around chasing spike.

"well, lets go get them," apple jack opened the door and shouted to the three fillies chasing spike around,

as the three fillies entered midnight's house they took notice that singsong didn't have a cutie mark yet , they jumped at the chance of having a new member. they too took turns introducing themselves

"hi there, i'm scootaloo," scootaloo said examining singsong

"and i'm apple bloom" apple bloom said while standing on top of scootaloo

"i'm sweetie belle," sweetie belle jumped up onto apple bloom's back

"and we are, THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS" the three shouted in unison

"wha... whats a cutie mark?" singsong asked as she fell out off midnight's magical grasp

"you mean, you don't know?" apple bloom asked

"it's the mark that tells you what your special talent is," scootaloo explained

"we have our secret society to find our special talent," sweetie belle continued

"girls, why not show her the clubhouse?" midnight asked "sing song has been stuck inside all day,"

"that's a great idea, we will show you around, but we can't stay out too late, it's a school night," apple bloom took singsong's hoof and pulled her along.

"midnight, you can't keep her at home forever, you should enroll her in school," twilight said as applejack opened the door,

"i'll go get miss cheerilee," applejack said as she walked out, and came back a few minutes with a cherry colored mare,

"whats this about a filly who isn't in school?" the cherry mare asked

"oh i adopted a filly, she is blind so i wasn't going to enroll her yet but it seems she should go, to make new friends," midnight said as cheerilee smiled as three fillies entered the house again,

"we didn't show her the club house, we didn't have time, scootaloo, had to go," apple bloom explained as midnight used his magic to pick up singsong and set her on the pillow he had laid out for her, all the other ponies started to leave, all except for cheerilee.

"so is this the little one you wanted to enroll in school?" cheerilee asked

"yes, mam, i'm always doing stuff during the day so i can't watch her all the time," midnight said as he signed all the paperwork for enrolling singsong into school.

"okay ill see her in the morning?" cheerilee took the paperwork and started to leave,

"yes and ill be there to guide her to the school house, good night miss cheerilee," midnight's said as he helped singsong up to her new bed.

the blind filly

Sing song, with a cotton candy colored coat and ice cream style mane, she had life like any other unicorn. except for one thing... she is blind

[canterlot]

"sing song, get up sing song, you have school today," said a white colored unicorn as she opened the curtains.

"an old friend of mine is going to be staying with us for the weekend, so be on your best behavior," the mare joked as sing song slowly got up and out of bed.

The white coated mare picked up a saddle bag, placed a few things into it and set it on sing song's back,

"sing song!" another voice shouted from downstairs. sing song slowly took small steps and knocked over a lamp.

"do you want help?" the white mare whispered to sing song

"i can get it mother," sing song said as her mother casted a spell and a small orb of magic appeared right above sing song.

sing song slowly walked in the direction her mother set her in and as she got closer to the wall, the orb of magic started beeping, telling her that she was getting closer to a wall. she took a couple steps to the left and CRASH, sing song fell down the ramp that is supposed to be stairs.

"oh my gosh are you okay sing!" an orange coating pegasus shouted with concern

"yes i always do that sunflower, why are you here so early?" sing song asked

"oh silly, you didn't forget your own birthday did you?" sunflower giggled

sing song got up and gasped as she remembered "m..m.my birthday?"

sunflower got up and trotted towards sing song "you are so silly, sing."

"i got you something you might like," she pulled out a cage, set it down and opened it up.

  "wha..what is it?" sing song asked

"his name is dizzy, he is a bunny, well more of a guiding bunny," sunflower picked up the white bunny rabbit and set it on sing song's tail.

"girls, you are going to be late for class!" exclaimed sing song's mother, making sing jump

"im so sorry," sing song said as she dashed into a wall

"you really need to stop doing that," stated sunflower as they trotted their way to the school house

difficulty learning

the two young ponies made it to the school house without very many problems as sing song had knocked over a table and a potted plant.

[canterlot schoolhouse]

"sing song would you like to introduce us to your new pet?" the teacher asked as sing song got up and bumped into a desk.

all the other ponies in the room laughed at her

"Hey would you like it if you were blind and everypony laughed at you!" a blue coated Pegasus shouted to the other ponies as he helped sing song get to the front of the class

"and you are?"snickered a yellow filly in a pink frilly dress

"i am treedust and you need to be nicer to sing song," the blue pegasus said as he turned sing song towards the class, his tail flickered with a green flame.

"whats wrong treedust, you got something wrong with your tail? the yellow mare taunted

"no i just. just." treedust shied away as he was engulfed by a green flame, revealing the body of a changeling

the entire class gasped...except for sing song,

"oh my gosh, i knew there was something wrong with him and now i know, he is a changeling," the yellow filly sneered as the changeling started to tear up

sing song had dizzy guide her to the yellow filly's desk

"Hey starlight don't you think you have already caused enough pain for me and now you have to go picking on another foal, i'm ashamed of you, what do you think your mother would say if she heard you were doing this!" sing song shouted and got quiet.

"i..i'm so sorry, i didn't realize that... no pony can take you seriously with those ey-," starlight didn't finish as the other fillies and colts started to throw paper at her

"that's not what you were supposed to learn here,"said princess celestia as she trotted into the classroom as most of the ponies in the room bowed

"hello there little changeling, why are you here?" celestia asked as she took notice of sing song's eyes

"I just wanted to be like the other ponies, but everypony picks on me" the changeling whined

"oh is that right,"princess celestia walked over to starlight's desk, "you should learn a thing or two about being nice,"

"im sorry its just, they are so different," starlight said "everypony else is normal and here they are the two weird ones"

"and how is this filly different from anypony else?" celestia asked

sing song stepped forward and ran into a desk again "i..i'm blind," sing song said as the bell rang and all the other ponies rushed out of the classroom

sunflower introduced herself to the changeling and the changeling introduced himself to sing song and sunflower

and the three ponies trotted out of the class as the best of friends.
