"But Mom, do have to go to school?" I was scared, it's not every day a blind earth pony goes to her first day of school and I've been getting bullied every time my mom turns her back.

Mom apparently saw it as opportunity because she said, "Your first day of school isn't every day you know." She just kept on pushing it and when my mom pushes it she always gets it, so I gave up. After a few minutes after our conversation mom saw a young filly around my age jogging up the hill that went to the school. "Hey, why don't you go talk to her?" She began muzzling me up a hill, towards who ever she was talking about.

"Why sweetie, my daughter's blind I was hoping you could help her on her way to school," of course she had to just go right ahead and blab out to the entire pony universe that I was blind.

"Sure, my name is Berry Mintcake I'm eight. What's your name?"

"I... I..... I'm.... my name is...... Mid... Midnight River."

"I Like that name." I felt my mom leaving me with Berry Mintcake.

"What kind of pony are you?"

"What do you mean what am I? Can't you see, I'm a unicorn"

"I can't see." I already felt like I was getting mocked, like people were oblivious to me.

"Oh, yea, sorry, I'm forget a lot when I'm excited." For the first time I noticed that her heart was beating faster than it should ever have to. Don't ask how, I just do. Mom says that it is because I can't see.

"What do you look like?" I felt stupid and awkward, this isn't how you meet or greet someone. I know that my mom has pale blue and sky blue colored mane, as well as a tale. Her coat is a faded soft red and wears blue glasses and beautiful amber eyes. I had asked her often before.

My brother though, he never answered me when I asked and when I asked mom, she always was busy. I think that he is jut like mom but a light forest green and no glasses. For some strange reason though I know what all these colors look like even tough I've never seen them since I was born blind.

"Well... I have a white coat, and strawberry pink maneband." (Hairband) "Minty green hair and tale. I have emerald colored eyes, but I hate green so I am not bragging. Oh, I almost forgot the tips of my tail is strawberry pink too.

All I could say was that she was hyper "So..... ready for school?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" she began to walk away but came back as I struggled to follow the sound of her hoofstep (footsteps) and said, "You need help?"

I looked at her with hopeful eyes, well I think I did. "Yes please."

"Pokey Lokey!" I'm guessing she tried to nudge me the way mom did but it didn't turn out what quite as I expect she wanted it to be. "Hey, I like our knapsack, but what is on it?"

"I don't know, remember? I can't see."

"Oh, yeah I forgot," She paused, "okay,"

"Let's go," Maybe just maybe I'll make it through school.
