A New Element

"Hey, I see you've made some new trash friends." her heart was racing super fast which meant she had ran all the way here, or she might have been hurt.

"Are you okay Diamond Tiara?"

"Yes," but her heart just kept beating faster which in my book or any other book it meant a lie was being told. "I don't want to be late now do I my helpless pegasus, I better, how do you put it? Take off!" and with that she snickered off.

I tried to give her a sympathetic look, but... "Hey! What did you do that for Midnight?" Scootaloo had scared me.

"Do what be nice?" I was confused.

"Yes!" Sweetie Belle said, "What did you think? She had just mocked you and you asked her if she was okay?"

"Ya'll let's hear her out instead of shoutin' at her!" At least one of them is loyal I shook my head violently trying to get the thought out of my head but it stuck with me. "So why did you do it then?"

"I... I..... I... I just thought..... "

Berry began to trot ahead nudging me towards the path Diamond Tiara took. "Does it really matter, lets just head to school," she thought for a minute, "Anyway she's gone right?"

"Yeah I guess so." Scootaloo sounded upset though.

It was a longer walk then you would think. When we finally got there we all headed to the office, bell rung out saying we had entered the room, "CAKE!!"

"Huh?" all of us asked Berry, but we got distracted as the mare at the desk got us your schedules. "May I ask what classes we have?"

"Oh your Midnight River? I'm Mr. Specter I was told that you were blind and needed you assign you to somepony."

"Assign me?"

"Well of course, we'll have somepony to guide you every other day and a different one the others."

Obviously Berry was getting bored "Can I do that?"

"Hey!" Applebloom shouted, "Maybe that's our cutie mark!" they, in unison shouted, "Special ed helping cutie marks!" Next thing I knew everypony kept shouting and asking if they could be the helping when MR. specter kept telling them that he had already picked one out for me. I simply slouched into the corner and tried to block out the noise.

It wasn't till the bell rang out once again, did the talking cease "Hi, my i get my schedule please?"

"Oh, why, yes," everypony shot up to look all nice and neat. "May I ask what you're names are? ALL of you."

Applebloom slipped towards me and whispered, "She's glarin' at us" She nudged me towards where I had stood originally. "I'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and our two newest recruits Berry Mintcake, and you already know Midnight River, we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" When she had said my name I felt a soft breeze hitting me, I can only assume she had motioned to me.

"Are you sure?" I didn't think school would be this easy. However there was Diamond Tiara that got me worried.

"Sure, you guys seem nice and you don't have yer cutie marks yet." Scootaloo answered in reply, knocking me out of my thoughts, "You aren't however officially yet but you be official after school, kay?"

I only nodded my head in agreement but Berry kept bouncing up and down shouting yes over and over again.

After she had introduce everypony and we had asked our questions, this other filly squealed in excitement but took deep breaths trying to calm herself down. Once she did get a hold on herself, she stated, "I'm Light Secret" no matter how calm she acted she was super excited, her heartbeat had give it away, heck she might be more excited than Berry was.

"Well, speak of the devil," I heard the rubbing of some paper when Mr. Specter continued, "Light Secret, you have are the student aide for Midnight River."

"I don't understand. What do you mean?"

"You see, Midnight river is, well..." I began to shuffle my hooves and look down, it is a really bad habit of mine, "She's..."

"It's okay" I said refusing to look up.

"Midnight River, is blind" As he said this I lifted up my head as if to be looking at her expression, "You will be helping her get through her classes, in other words, you are her eyes."

"I'm sorry," Light Secret said in a sympathetic voice.

"Sorry for what?" I said as cheerful as I could. "May I ask what you look like though?"

"Sure, I'm a unicorn and I guess have a raspberry red coat, a bright yellow mane that is wavy, and light gray eyes." She paused as though she was in thought. "I don't know how that would help you since you don't know what these colors are."

"Strange thing actually," How are they going to react? I kept playing different scenarios in my mind but didn't care. "I've been blind since birth but I was born knowing these colors. So I have a pretty close idea of colors."

"Cool!" Light Secret said.

After that there was a very awkward silence between us aside from the crinkling of papers. Mr. Specter broke it after the paper crinkling had stopped. "Well, would you look at that."

"What?" Berry said anxious to say something.

"You all have the same classes except for electives"

"Awesome, that's like a sign!"

"I know right?"

"Right!" everypony was so excited but I had this dreadful feeling, it was scaring me.

Something was going happen. Something soon.
