A New Element

What Fluttershy knows me? was my first thought but, I had no idea how, she controlled the element of kindness. Twilight had just become an alicorn and she knew me? I've never even talked to her. No matter what I came straight out of the forest, I didn't want anyone to find it so I decided to take a loop around her chicken coop.

"Yes Fluttershy?" I said quietly and terrified out of my wits.

"Oh, ummm.."

More quietly than I said before I asked "Yes?" I was getting worried so I began messing with my pigtails and my bow

"Hey! Midnight!" It was Scootaloo, and she had three other ponies with her, I'm guessing Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Berry. Their hooves were beating loudly enough that I could gallop over to them, but I just ran the opposite way again.

"Midnight River!" I skidded to a stop again right before I was in the forest. Did Fluttershy know something?

"Yes?" I said trotting over to her hoping that it wouldn't be awkward silence again.

"I don't.... what I mean is....." She was speaking in such a quiet whisper I could barely hear her. What was out of the ordinary was the fact that, her heart was even practically silenced which it shouldn't, which made me speak out of turn.

"Are you okay? You don't sound very good."

"This is how I normally talk,"

"No I don't mean that," I hated talking about my hearing ability, but I had to or else I would be lying. "What I mean is tha..."

"Midnight! Come on we need to go to school." Berry pushed me in the direction we were suppose to go.

"You should probably get going" Fluttershy whispered

I wanted to tell Fluttershy but Scootaloo didn't give me the chance and Berry guided me, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea," I was trying to tune her out so I could here Fluttershy's heart beat but I couldn't. We were to far away and it was to faint. I drew my attention away from it and focused on what the others were saying. "So do you forgive me?"

"What do you think?" I answered darkly turning away from her. I waited a few moments before I turned around and said "Just kidding!" with a giant smile spreading across my face. We all started laughing hard. It was the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. School was going to be great.

Applebloom was the first one to get ahold of her senses and asked "Sweetie Belle? How did ya know tha' Midnight was blind?" She whispered trying to hide the question.

"It's in her eyes" Sweetie Belle said not as quietly.

"I heard that!" I said making my eyes tear up, but letting my self burst out laughing after a minute or two. "It's okay you don't have to hide your question from me,"

"You scared us Midnight!" Sweetie Belle said accusing me but started to giggle afterwards. "Hey, you're funny!"

"Thanks, anywho.... are we almost there yet?"

"Yeah, I can see it." Scootaloo replied.

"Have you gotten your schedule yet?" Sweetie Belle said trying to start a conversation.

"Sorry, no." I was feeling like a failure.

"Ya'll don't have to be sorry, if anypony should be sorry it should be Scoots"

"HEY!" I said I was sorry a million times," She paused before saying, "I'm sorry. Kay now make that a million and one!"

"So...." Hopefully this time it would go smoothly if I asked what the looked like.

"Yeah?" Applebloom said.

"Oh," Sweetie Belle said understanding, "We never did tell you what wee looked like did we?"

"No"

"Well I have a pink and light lavender curly mane with a white coat and I'm a unicorn! Applebloom has a pale coat that is the same color that her sister's mane is but her mane is cherry. Oh and she always wears a bow lighter shade bow like yours!"

Scootaloo cut in again, "And I'm a awesome pegasus, I may have cut my mane by accident but I don't care. Anyways I'm orange but my mane is purple." I just opened my mouth to say cool but Scootaloo asked, Hey how would you know what these colors are anyway?"

"Well......"

"Well, well, well" great interrupted again. This time it was a new bratty voice coming from the black empty void.

"What would you know, Diamond Tiara" Scootaloo said in the most the darkish way she could say.
