I listened carefully to each of their hearts to make sure none of them were.... well something. I don't know how to explain it but there is always a difference in heart beats, but I can tell something different. As I said I don't know how to explain it, but, mainly because I don't know.

There is no way. I thought to myself, they were ALL different except for one who's I couldn't pin point, but that right there was different. I ignored it thinking that, things were messing with my head. Setting that thought aside. We all left the office Light Secret gently pushing me along. "I'm sorry but what re all my classes? No one's told me yet."

The sound of hooves stepping on the grass stopped. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Light said. "I'm suppose to be your guidance and I don't even know were I'm going!" I shook my head telling her it was okay but she continued. "I'm so wrapped up and now school is going," her voice drew out near the end.

"Wrapped up with what?" I asked not trying to be nosy but just curious.

"Siblings," she said, her voice was calm and her heart normal but I felt something jump at me, "Magic" it said. It sure sounded like Light's voice but it wasn't hers.

"No it's not, is it?" her heart stopped for a moment then got back on track and sped up. "What is?"

I heard her hair thump down only suggesting she was upset. "Magic" she said glumly.

"It can't be" I say finding myself mumbling it out loud.

Applebloom lost her loyal streak though, "Waddya mean it can't be? And how did you know she wasa lyin'!? I couldn't even tell!" Well I thought to myself, there goes that theory, laugh at me if you want but I had a gut feeling that we were all different in some way. Each way however was unique.

Pushing that thought aside I shook my head and opened my mouth to speak but I was interrupted by a slamming door and a squee. "OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH!" I'm sorry but I'm getting tired by all the squees going about. "Your... yo..you're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"Yeah!" Scootaloo said from behind me. "She's Applebloom, this is Sweetie Belle, Berry Mintcake, Midnight, Light Secret and I'm Scootaloo or Scoots, whichever you prefer." I listened to the new pony's heartbeat carefully. It was weird too, filled with both hate and kindness, how about we just go with weird.

"Can I be a Cutie Mark Crusader too?!" she asked eagerness.

"Sure You have to answer one question correctly before though." Scots said. "Teasing but there is a question that you need to answer," The nameless pony's heart began beating faster, both of fear and excitement. "What's you name?" Scoots asked gleefully.

"Oh!" she said in reluctance. "Clouded Shimmer!" The ground vibrated, I can only suppose she was jumping like Berry had been just, not as fast. "Am I in then?"

"Not officially but after school come with us!" Sweetie Belle said in excitement.

"I have a question." I asked, even though I couldn't see I cold feel all eyes on me. "Wha... What do.... What do you possibly..." my voice trailed off "Can... Can you tell me what you look like?"

"Of course," she said understandingly. "I have a black coat and a teal mane with green sprout colored streaks, and pale teal eyes." She paused. "I suppose it's you I'm aiding Tuesdays and Thursdays?" I nodded. "Cool, I can't wait!" We turned around and began walking

"May I ask where we are going?" I asked as politely as possible.

"Of course. We're going to class silly filly!" We didn't have to walk for long till we entered a room.

"Hey Spoon! Do you see what I see?" It was Diamond Tiara's voice.

"Yeah!" My guess is that, that voice belongs to Spoon, or whoever that was. "Seven blank flanks in a pear tree!"
