Magics lifeby MagicBloodChapters1 The Random Find2 Winters first kill3 Midnight wings4 The Winter Holidays5 Christmas Day6 First Day of School1 The Random FindWhile walking to his house, the young stallion Magic Blood trips over a small box that seemed to have crying coming from inside. Suddenly, without warning, the box flew open revealing a young foal, that appeared around the age of two. Shocked and confused, but with a small smile, he bends down, and picks the small filly up, eyeballing the bright red collar around her neck that read “Experiment 23”. Unsure of what to do, he places her on his back, and heads home. “Ok, I guess were home miss 23.” Magic says softly, as he sets her down on the couch, and then sits on the floor in front of her. “Can you tell me your name?” Magic says to her. She shakes her head violently. “No? Do you even have a name yet?” he stares down at her with a questionable face. She once again shakes her head, but yet this time softly as if she is sad. “Do you want a name?” he asks her with a polite tone. The little filly tilts her head lightly, before excitedly nodding, her tiny wings flapping along. “Ok, ok, calm down! Follow me and we’ll get you a sandwich, Winter.” Magic says as he walks into the kitchen, horn glowing. Winter follows him in bouncing up and down every now and then. Magic went into the kitchen Winter following close behind with wide eyes filled with wonder. Magic starts to gather bread, some flowers and a glass of milk up from the fridge. As he does so Winter watches with her round eyes taking in everything he does and what he uses. After a while of him moving around she tugs on his tail and and looks at him with pleading eyes. “Its almost ready Winter don’t you worry about that you will have your food in a minute” Magic says glancing down at her real quick, giving her a smile. She smiles back and points to the metal object. He looks down at her knife still in his grasp. He didn’t respond as he normally would with any other pony. “Something you don’t need to touch,” he responded softly after thinking for a minute, trying not to scare her. She tilts her head slightly not getting what he means. "I'm saying don't touch this you could get hurt." Magic turns around and continues to cut the Daisies and put them onto the bread. “Ok food’s ready” Magic states as he puts the sandwich on a paper plate and trots to the table before setting the plate down on the table and pulling up a seat for Winter. She starts to jump frantically trying to get to the seat but seemed unable to get up onto it. Magic starts to lightly giggle as he picks her up with his magic and sets her on the seat with a few books under her so she can reach her food. “That will do for now till i get a high chair.” he states. Winter starts to slowly eat as Magic stands nearby to make sure she doesn’t choke or fall. She finishes eating and afterwards jumps down and looks at Magic. “What do you want to do now?” Magic says as he leans down allowing her to climb onto his back. She looks out the window before looking back at Magic. “Ok we can go outside” he states to her. Magic grabs a ball and a frisby before going outside and playing in his back yard with Winter. “Ok Winter lets kick the ball.” Magic says as he sets her down and lets her run to the other side of the yard. he lightly kicks the ball just strong enough to reach Winter. She tries to kick it back but only makes it move a few inches. Winter stares at the ball with an frustrated grin then runs up and tries again but failing causing Magic to giggle. “C’mon you can do it Winter.” he cheers her on as she continues to kick the ball. She kicks the ball one last time this time lightly tapping Magics hoof before she runs back giggling. Magic giggles again before grabbing the frisby and tosses it to Winter. She attempts to catch it with her magic but is unable to use enough magic to even slow it down and it ends up hitting her in the head as she falls over crying. Magic runs over concerned. “Are you ok Winter!” Magic says quickly. He picks her up and lightly kisses her forehead. “It’s ok little one.” Magic says sweetly. Winter sobs lightly as she digs her head into Magics chest crying into it. “Would you like to play with the bouncy ball again Winter?” Magic whispers into her ear. She nods slowly before climbing down and slowly trotting back to where she was. Magic tosses the ball and she hits it back bouncing it off her head it doesn’t hurt cause the ball is light. “Thats it” he cheers her on as he hits the ball back. They play for an hour or so before heading inside and getting her a place ready for her to sleep. “Ok winter where do you want to sleep tonight.” Magic asks winter who is looking around. Winter trots into a big room with a big queen size bed. She points to the bed hopping up and down. “Ok, ok, you can sleep in my bed tonight but tomorrow night you have to choose a different bed, ok?” he states. She nods before jumping onto the bed and jumps around on it messin the covers up. Magic starts to giggle lightly before stopping Winter and fixing the covers. “No dont jump on the bed ok Winter, stay her for a sec i’m gonna go turn lights off and I’ll be back.” Magic states before trotting out the room and going throughout the house turning out the lights. Magic trots back into the room and up to Winter. He puts her under the covers and tucks her in. “Good night my little girl.” Magic says before getting a surprise kiss on the cheek from Winter. Magic lightly smiles before going to the other side of the bed and getting under the covers laying in Winters direction and starts to doze off. Winter scoots over and curls up next to Magic slowly falling asleep as well. Author's Note i wrote this as a bet but i had fun writing it. i had to have help because im bad at writing so i had help from my friends scythe and midnight wings. thank you for help you two and please rate and review what you think 2 Winters first killAuthor's Note sorry bout how bad the story is so far please read and review honestly as to help me improve 2 Winters first kill -3 years later- Magic stretched, getting a satisfying pop from all of his joints. He yawns as he gets out of his bed. Magic walks into his bedroom’s bathroom to do his morning routine: Brush teeth, Comb mane and wash his face to get woke up more than he already was. He walks out and into the hallway after he gets done and and goes into the room across the hall from his. When he does he sees that Winter’s still asleep. Not wanting to wake her up Magic leaves and shuts the door quietly behind him. After he does he walks towards the kitchen thinking on what to make her for breakfast. Probably one of her favorites: Either Blueberry Pancakes with Hay Bacon or just plain ol’ Waffles with Maple Syrup. Magic then proceeds to fix himself a cup of coffee to pass the time as he waits for Winter to wake. “Morn, dad.” Winters voice comes from the other side of the kitchen. “M-morn sweetie!” he says out of surprise. “Out of all the years of her living here this is the first time she's called me ...d-dad” Magic thought to himself. “What's for breakfast dad?” she asks looking at the table of food wondering which one is hers. “Choose which you like best and ill have the other.” he replies to her question. ”Ok ill have the one with the bacon.” she states as she goes and sits in front of her plate. “Ok. so how did you sleep?” Magic asks as he sits down and eats as well. “It was good but, i still prefer your bed its more comfy” she states slightly annoyed. They both eat until they are either stuffed or their plates are empty. Winter heads back to her room leaving Magic to clean the dishes and table. After Magic is done washing the dishes he puts them up in the cupboards. “ok now that thats done i need to go get some more food.” Magic states. “WINTER LETS GO TO THE STORE!” He yells out as he grabs a bag of bits from a drawer. Winter trots out of her room with a thirsty look on her face trying to act normal she just follows beside magic walking toward Ponyvilles market. While the two walk towards the market Winter looks at her surroundings and everytime they pass an animal or pony she inadvertently licks her lips. the two reach the market and trot around looking for their wanted groceries when Winter spots a toy she wants to buy. She sadly has no money on her so she waits a bit till they get all but a few of their groceries to ask her father if she can get the toy. “Dad? Can i have that toy?” She asks Magic tugging lightly on his tail lightly. “Hmm? no sweetie we haven even finished buying our groceries yet can it wait til we’re done?” He says stopping and looking at his daughter with a pleasant smile. “But Dad, Why can’t you get it for me now?” Winter cries out in protest. “Because we need groceries if we have enough afterwards i’ll get it for you. Ok?” He explains to winter Winter starts to get mad and runs off taking the toy when she passes by it. Magic sighs as he runs after her throwing about 10 bits more than is needed at the pony Winter stole the toy from.Winter runs around a few buildings managing to lose her father after a few minutes of being chased. Magic runs to the nearest police station asking for help on finding his missing daughter. Winter slows down once she is sure she lost her father and trots along a path playing with her toy. Winter starts looking around and starts to lick her lips at the sight of ponies again when she bumps into some pony trotting along the same path. “oh im so sorry,” the mystery pony says. “my name is lightning rider.” “its ok lightning.” Winter states as she slowly looks up with a devilish grin. “Uhhhh why are you looking at me with eyes full of blood lust?” lightning says as he takes a step back. Winter pounces on the Earth pony and bites him on his throat ripping into his carotid artery causing him to bleed out rapidly. She starts to slowly drink some of his blood before letting go and saying. “Call me Midnight Wings.” her face now bloody from killing the stallion. Lightning is laying down on the ground gasping for breath as Winter who will soon be known as Midnight Wings starts to trot home. 3 Midnight wingsAuthor's Note sorry for the wait on this 3 Midnight wings Winter slowly trots home from running away blood dripping down her cheeks after about 10 minutes of walking she makes it home. she knocks on the door to the house her cheeks and a bit of her neck covered in blood hoping her dad will answer. about 30 seconds later there is a click and sniffling at the door followed by a reply. "Y-yes? W-who is it," Magic asks cracking the door open enough to peek out. Looking at the height of a grown stallion he doesn't see anypony so he begins to close the door only to be stopped by a faint scared voice. “D-daddy? I’m back home and, im sorry for running off.” Winter lightly puts her hoof through the crack in the door and onto her fathers leg. she looks up at him with her bloody face. “WINTER," Magic yells as he quickly opens the door and picks Winter up pulling her into a tight hug not noticing her being bloody. “Don't ever scare me like that again. I thought I lost you,” he says as he tears up “I'm so sorry daddy!” Winter starts to cry into the hug “Dad i need to talk to you though. I did something” She says pulling away from the hug to show Magic her face. “H-huh? What are you talking ab…” Magic sees the blood on her face and neck. “Oh Celestia. What happened to you,” he asks setting her on his back before closing the door and goes to the restroom to clean her up. “This stuff came from somepony else. I think he called himself Lightning Rider and it came from here,” Winter says pointing to her neck. Magic looked horrified after hearing what she had to say. “Oh no do you remember where it happened,” he asks in a more panicked tone as he starts to run out the house following her every direction to the dead body of the late Pegasus, Lightning Rider. “Oh my.” Magic exclaims with great fear as he starts to pick up the dead pegasus with his magic. “Daddy where we taking him?” Winter asks Magic while laying down on his back not knowing what’s going on. “Well sweetie im taking you home then im gonna take him to his home so he can rest,” he replies with a slightly worried tone. Magic starts to quietly trot home avoiding everypony that may be out at this time of night. Upon arriving at home he puts Winter in the house and tells her to not let anypony in, soon afterwards he starts to trot out further into the Everfree with the already slow decaying Pegasus being carried by magic using a levitation spell and a shovel he had strapped to his side. He went about a league into the Forest and after he picked a good spot and started digging. A half-hour passes and he could be seen, if anypony was around, which there wasn’t which he was grateful for, walking home with a matted coat by both blood, which could be barely seen, and dirt. After he reached home, he put the shovel back in its spot, and took a bath to get his coat clean of both substances that were there. After a hour of scrubbing and soap bubbles all the blood and dirt was out of his coat and was no longer matted. He picked up a towel and proceeded to dry himself. After he was dry he proceeded to Winters room to tell her good night. “Winter you still up?” Magic asks as he pokes his head into her room only to see her staring out her window into Luna’s wonderful night. “Yeah dad I’m still up,” she replies not really paying attention. “Are you ok sweetie? Do you wanna ask me something or are you just worried,” He quickly replies trotting up to her bedside and sitting next to her. “Daddy have you ever felt like you’re not the pony you think you are,” Winter looks at him with a slightly worried look. “What ever do you mean sweetie?” He puts a hoof around her and pulls her close trying to comfort her. “I mean i don’t feel like a winter storm i feel like a….a M-midnight Wings.” she stutters lightly, memories of what she did returning to her still unsure if it was right or wrong. “Well would you rather be called Midnight wings?” he lightly rubs her mane. “Yes daddy i would,” she turns around and hugs him. “Its time for bed baby girl,” Magic kisses her forehead and and puts her under the covers “night daddy i love you,” Winter says hugging Magics neck “and i love you to ,” he says as he trotts out the room closing the door and trotts into his room to sleep. 4 The Winter HolidaysAuthor's Note this chapter took a few days cause of writers block but i have to give more credit to scythe thundershield he not only proof read this chapter but he helped write a lot of it 4 The Winter Holidays A couple of weeks pass since the ‘incident’, and it begins to get colder, but not cold enough to freeze the creek over. Its a few days from christmas but feels as if its tomorrow. Colts and fillies are outside making snow ponies and doing snowball fights while the bears are asleep and the mares and stallions are sitting in their warm homes cuddling with each other. Some fillies and colts say santa isn't real, some believe he is real but nopony knows for sure. Back in Magic’s house, Midnight Wings is getting ready to head outside and roll around in the snow for the first time in her life. “Hey dad,” Midnight calls, “can I got outside?” There was no response for a moment before he spoke up, “Sure. Just dress in a scarf and your boots. And be back before it gets dark.” With that Midnight Wings puts her scarf and boots on and heads outside into the snow covered ground. ‘What should i do?’ Midnight thought to herself while walking through the snow. Ponies everywhere were either throwing or dodging snowballs, and more times than not t was the pegasi dodging and the unicorns, if they had the capability to, throwing them, and on occasion you would see some snowponies and snow pegasi along the ground. While walking through the town Midnight gets hit with a random snowball “Sorry,” a filly calls walking over. She was wearing a Red Bow in her mane and green boots. “Sorry bout dat… guess I had done threw it a little too hard, ahm Applebloom. Wats your name,” The little filly says. Midnight makes a snowball to the best of her ability considering she’s never made one before and threw it at Applebloom, giggling when it fell apart mid air. “My name is Midnight Wings, but you can call me Midnight. Why’d you hit me with a ball of snow?” Midnight responded with a smile. “Ah wasn’t ah was aiming for Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle over there,” Applebloom responded while throwing another snowball at the other two. Scootaloo dodged with ease while Sweetie Belle got hit square in the muzzle. Midnight giggled at that as Sweetie Belle tried to throw one back. “Wanna come join mah team so its even?” Apple Bloom asked, motioning for Midnight to come on over. Midnight went over behind the snow fort and started to make a few snowballs but every time she would throw them, they would fall apart in the wind. “How do you make these balls of snow?” Midnight asks Apple Bloom. “You gotta pahck it tight so it stays together.” Apple Bloom replies making another snowball showing Midnight how to make it. Midnight grabs a chunk of snow with her magic and packs it as tight as she can get it and lobs it at the other’s fort, causing it to literally fall apart. Sweetie Belle’s and Scootaloo’s jaws drop as they both simultaneously yell out “Are you trying to kill us!” Apple bloom giggles and tells Midnight, “That’s a little too tahght, try an pahck it just tahght enough to make it to them,” with that Midnight nodded and made another with her magic and threw it at them. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle just puts there hooves over there faces a little scared from Midnights last throw so the snowball hits scootaloo on her muzzle before breaking into pieces. Midnight and Apple Bloom giggles and let Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rebuild their fort. The snowball fight continues for a few more hours before they stop and start to build snowponies and snowpegasi. “Hey do yall want to come to my house for some hot chocolate and marshmallows?” Midnight asks the three after they are done playing. “Sure!” the three young fillies reply with excitement. The four trott through the everfree forest to Midnights place. The other three fillies were hesitant at first to go in but after some coaxing and assuring, they were nearly there. Upon reaching the house Midnight knocked on the door waiting for her dad to answer, about a minute later she hears the door start to open. “Hello?” Magic asks as he opens the door. “Hey dad i brought some friends home to have hot chocolate with.” Midnight says. Magic looks behind her to see three others there. He waved slowly and smiled nervously for a moment. All four of the fillies trott into the house and straight to the kitchen. “Uhmmm, ok then, but we gotta make it quick, it’s getting dark and these woods aint safe at night.” Magic says walking with them to the kitchen levitating a few cups and some hot chocolate mix to the counter. “Well we know that already.” Apple Bloom states, trotting in after Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Magic levitates a kettle of water to there fireplace so it can heat up. “So I recognize two of you from when i went to Carousel Boutique to get some clothes for special occasions and some apples from Sweet Apple Acres but the third i don’t think I’ve ever seen before.” Magic says to the three fillies. “Well I’m scootaloo, and this is Sweetiebelle and Apple Bloom,” Scootaloo says to him. “AND WE’RE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” all three shout out at once, deafening both Midnight and Magic for a few short moments. “Ok then, no need to yell it, but ok,” Magic replies as he hears the kettle start to whistle and levitates it over and fills the four cups with some hot water before mixing the mix into the water. “Ok, here is your hot chocolate with marshmallows,” Magic says giving each of them a cup of hot chocolate. After about five to ten minutes later the Cutie Mark Crusaders left and headed home. “I wasn’t expecting company tonight but im glad you had fun sweetie,” Magic said as he carries Midnight to her room to go to bed. After a few minutes, and a bedtime story, Midnight fell asleep. Magic smiled slightly and shut her room’s door behind him after he turned on her Luna shaped night light. 5 Christmas DayIts christmas morning and Midnight runs through the house and into Magics room, hopping onto the bed excited. “Dad, dad, dad. It’s christmas. Santa brought us presents, get up!” with that midnight ran out the room and downstairs to the tree. Magic groggily gets out of bed and trots down stairs to Midnight and the tree. “Ok, ok, sweetie, calm down.” Magic says to Midnight, who starts pulling a small present out from under the tree. It was wrapped in an Aqua green paper and a yellow bow, with a tag that said; To: Midnight, From: Santa Hooves. She eagerly tore into the small box. Inside the paper and ribbon was a small white box. She threw open the lid and inside was a small joyboy and 2 games inside it. Midnight lets out a small cheer as she starts to take it out of the box to play with it. Magic puts his hoof onto her present stopping her “Not now sweetie, we still have more to open.” Magic then starts to levitate the biggest box over to Midnights hooves. This box was wrapped in a bright red with a green bow with the tag saying the same thing as the last. And like the last one she tore into it as best she could. This box was made of cardboard and was taped at the top. Midnight struggles a little with the top of the cardboard box before the tape gives away. When she finally gets the top off a medium sized train set is in it just waiting to be put together. Midnight let out a light squee before she started to push it to the side struggling a little but managed to push it out of the way. “Your turn daddy, you open one” Midnight trotting up to the tree searching for one of her fathers presents. The other two boxes were nearly the same in paper and bow color. One was a Purple box with a Magenta bow and the other was a Magenta box with a Purple bow. One of the boxes was labeled for magic and the other was for Midnight. Midnight managed to barely levitate her fathers to him because of how heavy it was and then did the same with hers. “Ok daddy, you open yours first then I’ll open mine” Midnight says before sitting beside her present watching her father. Magic slowly tears the wrapping paper revealing a box with the word and a picture of a saddle bag on the side of the box. “ok sweetie your turn” Magic says to Midnight motioning for her to open her last present midnight tore open her last present revealing a box with a picture of a luna plushie and squeed. “YAY ITS A LUNA PLUSHIE!” Midnight exclaimed greatly. Midnight looked around and noticed that she had 3 presents to her fathers one present and went over to the tree to see if there were anymore presents but she didn’t find any. “Daddy, where’s your other presents?” Midnight ask with curiosity and a hint of sadness in her voice. “This is enough, plus i got the greatest present of all,” Magic replies with a reassuring smile. “Oooo, really? Where is it?” Midnight says as she starts to look around the tree thinking she missed something. “Midnight its not on the tree, and it can’t be wrapped, the greatest present is having you to spend christmas with,” Magic says levitating his daughter over pulling her into a tight hug. Author's Note another chapter for christmas sorry bout how short it is and thanks again to scythe thundershield for helping me proofread and write 6 First Day of SchoolIt is the night before school and all the stallions and mares are getting their children’s stuff ready for the first day, and most of the fillies and colts are fighting to stay awake so that their parents let them stay home. Every once and a while you will find a house with a filly or a colt that is actually eager to go and learn from the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee. In the Magic household, Midnight was a little of both, she was excited to meet more ponies but at the same time wasn’t. “Daddy do I have to go to school tomorrow?” Midnight asks, as he tucks her into bed. “Why do you ask? I thought you were excited to go meet all the new ponies,” He replied with a hint of confusion in his voice. “Well i am but i dont want to give a bad first image of myself.” Midnight says, a hint of sadness in her tone. “Well for one, its impression and two, you won’t, I promise everypony will love you.” Magic states, rubbing a hoof through Midnight’s mane. Midnight smiles and gives Magic a peck on the cheek before she starts to doze off to sleep. Magic trots out of the room and to the living room and started to pack Midnight’s saddlebag with pencils, a ruler, some paper, and crayons. He sets the saddlebag by the door before heading back upstairs to get his own sleep before having to wake Midnight up the next day. As he did a yawn escaped his muzzle and had to shake his head slightly to stay awake until he had reached his bed. The next morning around 5am he gets up with his normal routine of a pot of coffee and some breakfast but unlike most days, has to get Midnight up in an hour or so for school. So in the meantime he goes through her saddle bag to make sure she has everything for school then fixes her two daisy and daffodil sandwiches One for her lunch at school and the other for breakfast. After he places the sandwich on the table, he trots up to Midnight’s room to wake her up. “Midnight wake up its time for school” Magic says as he opens the door and turns on the room’s light. Midnight slowly pulls the covers over head and let out a groan, clearly not wanting to get up this early. “C’mon sweetie, you gotta get up for school. Aren’t you excited about meeting your class? I hear those three fillies are in it too.” Magic says as midnight suddenly gets up. “You mean Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom?!” Midnight squeals, excited that she can see her friends again. “Yes those three, but you gotta get up and eat,” He manages to blurt out just before midnight ran past him and down the stairs. He sighs and follows soon after, smiling all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, he saw Midnight already at the table, ready to eat her breakfast and head out to school. “Don’t be into much of a rush, you may forget something and we don’t want that do we?” Magic asks as he sips his coffee. Midnight nods as she eats her sandwich eager to get to school and see her friends and make new friends. After Midnight finishes eating, she goes to put her saddle bag on. “Ok Dad i’m ready to go” With that Magic trots into the living room and gets ready himself. He then straps the saddle bag he got for christmas on so he can go to the market while Midnight is at school. After a few minutes of getting everything together, they finally headed out the door and towards Ponyville. When they got to Ponyville they stopped by the school and Magic dropped Midnight off for school and headed to the town’s market to do some shopping. magic went around to the market stalls grabbing some tomatoes, celery, pancake batter, eggs, apples, and anything else they needed, then payed for each of them trotting back home after about an hour or so of shopping. Back at the school, Midnight was standing outside, talking with the cutie mark crusaders, waiting for class to start. After a moment of talking, two other fillies walk up and sneer at the group of four. “Hey Blank Flanks.” They both said in unison, laughing as they walked by. “Blank flanks?” Midnight asks in a questionable tone. “Yeah... they call us blank flanks just cause we don’t have our cutie marks yet and they think just ‘cause they are rich that they are better than everypony else,” Scootaloo states. “But,” Apple Bloom starts, looking to the other two, “We won’t let them get us down, because we are the CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” they shout in unison, smiling widely afterwards. “Ok then, I’m a blank, but I’ll get my cutie mark soon, I just know it!” Midnight said excited. The school bell rang and all the students quickly ran into the school so they are not late on the first day. “Ok class, welcome to the first day of school, I am Ms. Cheerilee, and I will be your teacher,” Cheerilee said with a warm, joyful smile as all the fillies and colts moved around the room to find their seats. “Ok students, since its the first day, I want you all to introduce yourselves,” She said, pointing to the front left seat to start. It was one of them fillies from a moment ago. Her mane was silver, eyes were a violet color and her coat was a light grey. She stood up and cleared her throat. “Ahem. My name is Silver Spoon.” she states before sitting back down. After a few minutes of names it was time for Midnight and The Crusaders to give theirs. Apple Bloom, being in the first seat, stood first and spoke up. “Hello y’all,” she starts before the Diamond snickered. “Mah name’s Apple Bloom.” she finishes through gritted teeth, glaring back at the filly who made the noise. Then it was Sweetie’s turn. “Hi everypony. My name’s Sweetie Belle.” She says, her voice cracking slightly. After her went Scootaloo. “My name’s Scootaloo.” She states, flatly, apparently bored and clearly not wanting to be in the school house. Miss Cheerilee then turns her gaze to Midnight. Midnight looks at her shyly. “Come on sweetie, stand up and tell us your name. We won’t bite.” Ms. Cheerilee says smiling at Midnight. Midnight slowly stands up and lets out a light cough “I-i, um, my name is Midnight Wings and I live in the Everfree.” she says before sitting back down and relaxes a bit. Everypony looks back at her and some what in unison say “You mean ‘the’ Everfree, Everfree?” Midnights head lowers as she nods. “Aren’t you scared of getting attacked by monsters or getting cursed by Zecora?” Diamond tiara asks with a slight hint of concern, which is not like her at all. “No, not really, I can defend myself and if there is ever a case as to where i can’t get away or protect myself my dad is usually there to help” Midnight states before returning her attention to the teacher. “Okay. Now that that’s out of the way, who’s next?” Ms. Cheerilee asks, looks to the next student. Next up was a filly who had a creme colored coat and a red mane and tail, with purple glasses adorning the top of her muzzle. She stands up, smiling and speaks. “Hello everypony. My name isth Peppermint Twisthst.” she sits back down smiling as the next student stands up who can most likely be described as looking like a dog with his spotted coat. “My name’s Pipsqueak.” He says happily, having to put his fore-hooves on the desk for everypony to see him clearly. After a few more students Ms. Cheerilee comes upon Diamond Tiara, and like Silver spoon, she stands and clears her throat. “My name is Diamond Tiara… that’s all you need to know about me.” she states smugly, thinking she’s above everypony else with Silver Spoon coming in close second. After eight hours of what felt like eternity, the bell that ended school rang, letting all of the students go to go home. Midnight left the school with the three crusaders all four of them chatting up a storm, especially midnight, considering today was her first day of school. Meanwhile at home Magic was heading out to meet Midnight at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. After a little while, they meet at the entrance to the forest. “Hey sweetie. How was your first day of school?” Magic asked, smiling at the four fillies. “I was a bit shy at first but after a few hours I relaxed.” Midnight replied as she gave each of her friends a hug good night before her and Magic left to go home and prepare for the next day.
1 The Random FindWhile walking to his house, the young stallion Magic Blood trips over a small box that seemed to have crying coming from inside. Suddenly, without warning, the box flew open revealing a young foal, that appeared around the age of two. Shocked and confused, but with a small smile, he bends down, and picks the small filly up, eyeballing the bright red collar around her neck that read “Experiment 23”. Unsure of what to do, he places her on his back, and heads home. “Ok, I guess were home miss 23.” Magic says softly, as he sets her down on the couch, and then sits on the floor in front of her. “Can you tell me your name?” Magic says to her. She shakes her head violently. “No? Do you even have a name yet?” he stares down at her with a questionable face. She once again shakes her head, but yet this time softly as if she is sad. “Do you want a name?” he asks her with a polite tone. The little filly tilts her head lightly, before excitedly nodding, her tiny wings flapping along. “Ok, ok, calm down! Follow me and we’ll get you a sandwich, Winter.” Magic says as he walks into the kitchen, horn glowing. Winter follows him in bouncing up and down every now and then. Magic went into the kitchen Winter following close behind with wide eyes filled with wonder. Magic starts to gather bread, some flowers and a glass of milk up from the fridge. As he does so Winter watches with her round eyes taking in everything he does and what he uses. After a while of him moving around she tugs on his tail and and looks at him with pleading eyes. “Its almost ready Winter don’t you worry about that you will have your food in a minute” Magic says glancing down at her real quick, giving her a smile. She smiles back and points to the metal object. He looks down at her knife still in his grasp. He didn’t respond as he normally would with any other pony. “Something you don’t need to touch,” he responded softly after thinking for a minute, trying not to scare her. She tilts her head slightly not getting what he means. "I'm saying don't touch this you could get hurt." Magic turns around and continues to cut the Daisies and put them onto the bread. “Ok food’s ready” Magic states as he puts the sandwich on a paper plate and trots to the table before setting the plate down on the table and pulling up a seat for Winter. She starts to jump frantically trying to get to the seat but seemed unable to get up onto it. Magic starts to lightly giggle as he picks her up with his magic and sets her on the seat with a few books under her so she can reach her food. “That will do for now till i get a high chair.” he states. Winter starts to slowly eat as Magic stands nearby to make sure she doesn’t choke or fall. She finishes eating and afterwards jumps down and looks at Magic. “What do you want to do now?” Magic says as he leans down allowing her to climb onto his back. She looks out the window before looking back at Magic. “Ok we can go outside” he states to her. Magic grabs a ball and a frisby before going outside and playing in his back yard with Winter. “Ok Winter lets kick the ball.” Magic says as he sets her down and lets her run to the other side of the yard. he lightly kicks the ball just strong enough to reach Winter. She tries to kick it back but only makes it move a few inches. Winter stares at the ball with an frustrated grin then runs up and tries again but failing causing Magic to giggle. “C’mon you can do it Winter.” he cheers her on as she continues to kick the ball. She kicks the ball one last time this time lightly tapping Magics hoof before she runs back giggling. Magic giggles again before grabbing the frisby and tosses it to Winter. She attempts to catch it with her magic but is unable to use enough magic to even slow it down and it ends up hitting her in the head as she falls over crying. Magic runs over concerned. “Are you ok Winter!” Magic says quickly. He picks her up and lightly kisses her forehead. “It’s ok little one.” Magic says sweetly. Winter sobs lightly as she digs her head into Magics chest crying into it. “Would you like to play with the bouncy ball again Winter?” Magic whispers into her ear. She nods slowly before climbing down and slowly trotting back to where she was. Magic tosses the ball and she hits it back bouncing it off her head it doesn’t hurt cause the ball is light. “Thats it” he cheers her on as he hits the ball back. They play for an hour or so before heading inside and getting her a place ready for her to sleep. “Ok winter where do you want to sleep tonight.” Magic asks winter who is looking around. Winter trots into a big room with a big queen size bed. She points to the bed hopping up and down. “Ok, ok, you can sleep in my bed tonight but tomorrow night you have to choose a different bed, ok?” he states. She nods before jumping onto the bed and jumps around on it messin the covers up. Magic starts to giggle lightly before stopping Winter and fixing the covers. “No dont jump on the bed ok Winter, stay her for a sec i’m gonna go turn lights off and I’ll be back.” Magic states before trotting out the room and going throughout the house turning out the lights. Magic trots back into the room and up to Winter. He puts her under the covers and tucks her in. “Good night my little girl.” Magic says before getting a surprise kiss on the cheek from Winter. Magic lightly smiles before going to the other side of the bed and getting under the covers laying in Winters direction and starts to doze off. Winter scoots over and curls up next to Magic slowly falling asleep as well.

2 Winters first killAuthor's Note sorry bout how bad the story is so far please read and review honestly as to help me improve 2 Winters first kill -3 years later- Magic stretched, getting a satisfying pop from all of his joints. He yawns as he gets out of his bed. Magic walks into his bedroom’s bathroom to do his morning routine: Brush teeth, Comb mane and wash his face to get woke up more than he already was. He walks out and into the hallway after he gets done and and goes into the room across the hall from his. When he does he sees that Winter’s still asleep. Not wanting to wake her up Magic leaves and shuts the door quietly behind him. After he does he walks towards the kitchen thinking on what to make her for breakfast. Probably one of her favorites: Either Blueberry Pancakes with Hay Bacon or just plain ol’ Waffles with Maple Syrup. Magic then proceeds to fix himself a cup of coffee to pass the time as he waits for Winter to wake. “Morn, dad.” Winters voice comes from the other side of the kitchen. “M-morn sweetie!” he says out of surprise. “Out of all the years of her living here this is the first time she's called me ...d-dad” Magic thought to himself. “What's for breakfast dad?” she asks looking at the table of food wondering which one is hers. “Choose which you like best and ill have the other.” he replies to her question. ”Ok ill have the one with the bacon.” she states as she goes and sits in front of her plate. “Ok. so how did you sleep?” Magic asks as he sits down and eats as well. “It was good but, i still prefer your bed its more comfy” she states slightly annoyed. They both eat until they are either stuffed or their plates are empty. Winter heads back to her room leaving Magic to clean the dishes and table. After Magic is done washing the dishes he puts them up in the cupboards. “ok now that thats done i need to go get some more food.” Magic states. “WINTER LETS GO TO THE STORE!” He yells out as he grabs a bag of bits from a drawer. Winter trots out of her room with a thirsty look on her face trying to act normal she just follows beside magic walking toward Ponyvilles market. While the two walk towards the market Winter looks at her surroundings and everytime they pass an animal or pony she inadvertently licks her lips. the two reach the market and trot around looking for their wanted groceries when Winter spots a toy she wants to buy. She sadly has no money on her so she waits a bit till they get all but a few of their groceries to ask her father if she can get the toy. “Dad? Can i have that toy?” She asks Magic tugging lightly on his tail lightly. “Hmm? no sweetie we haven even finished buying our groceries yet can it wait til we’re done?” He says stopping and looking at his daughter with a pleasant smile. “But Dad, Why can’t you get it for me now?” Winter cries out in protest. “Because we need groceries if we have enough afterwards i’ll get it for you. Ok?” He explains to winter Winter starts to get mad and runs off taking the toy when she passes by it. Magic sighs as he runs after her throwing about 10 bits more than is needed at the pony Winter stole the toy from.Winter runs around a few buildings managing to lose her father after a few minutes of being chased. Magic runs to the nearest police station asking for help on finding his missing daughter. Winter slows down once she is sure she lost her father and trots along a path playing with her toy. Winter starts looking around and starts to lick her lips at the sight of ponies again when she bumps into some pony trotting along the same path. “oh im so sorry,” the mystery pony says. “my name is lightning rider.” “its ok lightning.” Winter states as she slowly looks up with a devilish grin. “Uhhhh why are you looking at me with eyes full of blood lust?” lightning says as he takes a step back. Winter pounces on the Earth pony and bites him on his throat ripping into his carotid artery causing him to bleed out rapidly. She starts to slowly drink some of his blood before letting go and saying. “Call me Midnight Wings.” her face now bloody from killing the stallion. Lightning is laying down on the ground gasping for breath as Winter who will soon be known as Midnight Wings starts to trot home.
3 Midnight wingsAuthor's Note sorry for the wait on this 3 Midnight wings Winter slowly trots home from running away blood dripping down her cheeks after about 10 minutes of walking she makes it home. she knocks on the door to the house her cheeks and a bit of her neck covered in blood hoping her dad will answer. about 30 seconds later there is a click and sniffling at the door followed by a reply. "Y-yes? W-who is it," Magic asks cracking the door open enough to peek out. Looking at the height of a grown stallion he doesn't see anypony so he begins to close the door only to be stopped by a faint scared voice. “D-daddy? I’m back home and, im sorry for running off.” Winter lightly puts her hoof through the crack in the door and onto her fathers leg. she looks up at him with her bloody face. “WINTER," Magic yells as he quickly opens the door and picks Winter up pulling her into a tight hug not noticing her being bloody. “Don't ever scare me like that again. I thought I lost you,” he says as he tears up “I'm so sorry daddy!” Winter starts to cry into the hug “Dad i need to talk to you though. I did something” She says pulling away from the hug to show Magic her face. “H-huh? What are you talking ab…” Magic sees the blood on her face and neck. “Oh Celestia. What happened to you,” he asks setting her on his back before closing the door and goes to the restroom to clean her up. “This stuff came from somepony else. I think he called himself Lightning Rider and it came from here,” Winter says pointing to her neck. Magic looked horrified after hearing what she had to say. “Oh no do you remember where it happened,” he asks in a more panicked tone as he starts to run out the house following her every direction to the dead body of the late Pegasus, Lightning Rider. “Oh my.” Magic exclaims with great fear as he starts to pick up the dead pegasus with his magic. “Daddy where we taking him?” Winter asks Magic while laying down on his back not knowing what’s going on. “Well sweetie im taking you home then im gonna take him to his home so he can rest,” he replies with a slightly worried tone. Magic starts to quietly trot home avoiding everypony that may be out at this time of night. Upon arriving at home he puts Winter in the house and tells her to not let anypony in, soon afterwards he starts to trot out further into the Everfree with the already slow decaying Pegasus being carried by magic using a levitation spell and a shovel he had strapped to his side. He went about a league into the Forest and after he picked a good spot and started digging. A half-hour passes and he could be seen, if anypony was around, which there wasn’t which he was grateful for, walking home with a matted coat by both blood, which could be barely seen, and dirt. After he reached home, he put the shovel back in its spot, and took a bath to get his coat clean of both substances that were there. After a hour of scrubbing and soap bubbles all the blood and dirt was out of his coat and was no longer matted. He picked up a towel and proceeded to dry himself. After he was dry he proceeded to Winters room to tell her good night. “Winter you still up?” Magic asks as he pokes his head into her room only to see her staring out her window into Luna’s wonderful night. “Yeah dad I’m still up,” she replies not really paying attention. “Are you ok sweetie? Do you wanna ask me something or are you just worried,” He quickly replies trotting up to her bedside and sitting next to her. “Daddy have you ever felt like you’re not the pony you think you are,” Winter looks at him with a slightly worried look. “What ever do you mean sweetie?” He puts a hoof around her and pulls her close trying to comfort her. “I mean i don’t feel like a winter storm i feel like a….a M-midnight Wings.” she stutters lightly, memories of what she did returning to her still unsure if it was right or wrong. “Well would you rather be called Midnight wings?” he lightly rubs her mane. “Yes daddy i would,” she turns around and hugs him. “Its time for bed baby girl,” Magic kisses her forehead and and puts her under the covers “night daddy i love you,” Winter says hugging Magics neck “and i love you to ,” he says as he trotts out the room closing the door and trotts into his room to sleep.
4 The Winter HolidaysAuthor's Note this chapter took a few days cause of writers block but i have to give more credit to scythe thundershield he not only proof read this chapter but he helped write a lot of it 4 The Winter Holidays A couple of weeks pass since the ‘incident’, and it begins to get colder, but not cold enough to freeze the creek over. Its a few days from christmas but feels as if its tomorrow. Colts and fillies are outside making snow ponies and doing snowball fights while the bears are asleep and the mares and stallions are sitting in their warm homes cuddling with each other. Some fillies and colts say santa isn't real, some believe he is real but nopony knows for sure. Back in Magic’s house, Midnight Wings is getting ready to head outside and roll around in the snow for the first time in her life. “Hey dad,” Midnight calls, “can I got outside?” There was no response for a moment before he spoke up, “Sure. Just dress in a scarf and your boots. And be back before it gets dark.” With that Midnight Wings puts her scarf and boots on and heads outside into the snow covered ground. ‘What should i do?’ Midnight thought to herself while walking through the snow. Ponies everywhere were either throwing or dodging snowballs, and more times than not t was the pegasi dodging and the unicorns, if they had the capability to, throwing them, and on occasion you would see some snowponies and snow pegasi along the ground. While walking through the town Midnight gets hit with a random snowball “Sorry,” a filly calls walking over. She was wearing a Red Bow in her mane and green boots. “Sorry bout dat… guess I had done threw it a little too hard, ahm Applebloom. Wats your name,” The little filly says. Midnight makes a snowball to the best of her ability considering she’s never made one before and threw it at Applebloom, giggling when it fell apart mid air. “My name is Midnight Wings, but you can call me Midnight. Why’d you hit me with a ball of snow?” Midnight responded with a smile. “Ah wasn’t ah was aiming for Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle over there,” Applebloom responded while throwing another snowball at the other two. Scootaloo dodged with ease while Sweetie Belle got hit square in the muzzle. Midnight giggled at that as Sweetie Belle tried to throw one back. “Wanna come join mah team so its even?” Apple Bloom asked, motioning for Midnight to come on over. Midnight went over behind the snow fort and started to make a few snowballs but every time she would throw them, they would fall apart in the wind. “How do you make these balls of snow?” Midnight asks Apple Bloom. “You gotta pahck it tight so it stays together.” Apple Bloom replies making another snowball showing Midnight how to make it. Midnight grabs a chunk of snow with her magic and packs it as tight as she can get it and lobs it at the other’s fort, causing it to literally fall apart. Sweetie Belle’s and Scootaloo’s jaws drop as they both simultaneously yell out “Are you trying to kill us!” Apple bloom giggles and tells Midnight, “That’s a little too tahght, try an pahck it just tahght enough to make it to them,” with that Midnight nodded and made another with her magic and threw it at them. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle just puts there hooves over there faces a little scared from Midnights last throw so the snowball hits scootaloo on her muzzle before breaking into pieces. Midnight and Apple Bloom giggles and let Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rebuild their fort. The snowball fight continues for a few more hours before they stop and start to build snowponies and snowpegasi. “Hey do yall want to come to my house for some hot chocolate and marshmallows?” Midnight asks the three after they are done playing. “Sure!” the three young fillies reply with excitement. The four trott through the everfree forest to Midnights place. The other three fillies were hesitant at first to go in but after some coaxing and assuring, they were nearly there. Upon reaching the house Midnight knocked on the door waiting for her dad to answer, about a minute later she hears the door start to open. “Hello?” Magic asks as he opens the door. “Hey dad i brought some friends home to have hot chocolate with.” Midnight says. Magic looks behind her to see three others there. He waved slowly and smiled nervously for a moment. All four of the fillies trott into the house and straight to the kitchen. “Uhmmm, ok then, but we gotta make it quick, it’s getting dark and these woods aint safe at night.” Magic says walking with them to the kitchen levitating a few cups and some hot chocolate mix to the counter. “Well we know that already.” Apple Bloom states, trotting in after Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Magic levitates a kettle of water to there fireplace so it can heat up. “So I recognize two of you from when i went to Carousel Boutique to get some clothes for special occasions and some apples from Sweet Apple Acres but the third i don’t think I’ve ever seen before.” Magic says to the three fillies. “Well I’m scootaloo, and this is Sweetiebelle and Apple Bloom,” Scootaloo says to him. “AND WE’RE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” all three shout out at once, deafening both Midnight and Magic for a few short moments. “Ok then, no need to yell it, but ok,” Magic replies as he hears the kettle start to whistle and levitates it over and fills the four cups with some hot water before mixing the mix into the water. “Ok, here is your hot chocolate with marshmallows,” Magic says giving each of them a cup of hot chocolate. After about five to ten minutes later the Cutie Mark Crusaders left and headed home. “I wasn’t expecting company tonight but im glad you had fun sweetie,” Magic said as he carries Midnight to her room to go to bed. After a few minutes, and a bedtime story, Midnight fell asleep. Magic smiled slightly and shut her room’s door behind him after he turned on her Luna shaped night light.
5 Christmas DayIts christmas morning and Midnight runs through the house and into Magics room, hopping onto the bed excited. “Dad, dad, dad. It’s christmas. Santa brought us presents, get up!” with that midnight ran out the room and downstairs to the tree. Magic groggily gets out of bed and trots down stairs to Midnight and the tree. “Ok, ok, sweetie, calm down.” Magic says to Midnight, who starts pulling a small present out from under the tree. It was wrapped in an Aqua green paper and a yellow bow, with a tag that said; To: Midnight, From: Santa Hooves. She eagerly tore into the small box. Inside the paper and ribbon was a small white box. She threw open the lid and inside was a small joyboy and 2 games inside it. Midnight lets out a small cheer as she starts to take it out of the box to play with it. Magic puts his hoof onto her present stopping her “Not now sweetie, we still have more to open.” Magic then starts to levitate the biggest box over to Midnights hooves. This box was wrapped in a bright red with a green bow with the tag saying the same thing as the last. And like the last one she tore into it as best she could. This box was made of cardboard and was taped at the top. Midnight struggles a little with the top of the cardboard box before the tape gives away. When she finally gets the top off a medium sized train set is in it just waiting to be put together. Midnight let out a light squee before she started to push it to the side struggling a little but managed to push it out of the way. “Your turn daddy, you open one” Midnight trotting up to the tree searching for one of her fathers presents. The other two boxes were nearly the same in paper and bow color. One was a Purple box with a Magenta bow and the other was a Magenta box with a Purple bow. One of the boxes was labeled for magic and the other was for Midnight. Midnight managed to barely levitate her fathers to him because of how heavy it was and then did the same with hers. “Ok daddy, you open yours first then I’ll open mine” Midnight says before sitting beside her present watching her father. Magic slowly tears the wrapping paper revealing a box with the word and a picture of a saddle bag on the side of the box. “ok sweetie your turn” Magic says to Midnight motioning for her to open her last present midnight tore open her last present revealing a box with a picture of a luna plushie and squeed. “YAY ITS A LUNA PLUSHIE!” Midnight exclaimed greatly. Midnight looked around and noticed that she had 3 presents to her fathers one present and went over to the tree to see if there were anymore presents but she didn’t find any. “Daddy, where’s your other presents?” Midnight ask with curiosity and a hint of sadness in her voice. “This is enough, plus i got the greatest present of all,” Magic replies with a reassuring smile. “Oooo, really? Where is it?” Midnight says as she starts to look around the tree thinking she missed something. “Midnight its not on the tree, and it can’t be wrapped, the greatest present is having you to spend christmas with,” Magic says levitating his daughter over pulling her into a tight hug. Author's Note another chapter for christmas sorry bout how short it is and thanks again to scythe thundershield for helping me proofread and write
6 First Day of SchoolIt is the night before school and all the stallions and mares are getting their children’s stuff ready for the first day, and most of the fillies and colts are fighting to stay awake so that their parents let them stay home. Every once and a while you will find a house with a filly or a colt that is actually eager to go and learn from the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee. In the Magic household, Midnight was a little of both, she was excited to meet more ponies but at the same time wasn’t. “Daddy do I have to go to school tomorrow?” Midnight asks, as he tucks her into bed. “Why do you ask? I thought you were excited to go meet all the new ponies,” He replied with a hint of confusion in his voice. “Well i am but i dont want to give a bad first image of myself.” Midnight says, a hint of sadness in her tone. “Well for one, its impression and two, you won’t, I promise everypony will love you.” Magic states, rubbing a hoof through Midnight’s mane. Midnight smiles and gives Magic a peck on the cheek before she starts to doze off to sleep. Magic trots out of the room and to the living room and started to pack Midnight’s saddlebag with pencils, a ruler, some paper, and crayons. He sets the saddlebag by the door before heading back upstairs to get his own sleep before having to wake Midnight up the next day. As he did a yawn escaped his muzzle and had to shake his head slightly to stay awake until he had reached his bed. The next morning around 5am he gets up with his normal routine of a pot of coffee and some breakfast but unlike most days, has to get Midnight up in an hour or so for school. So in the meantime he goes through her saddle bag to make sure she has everything for school then fixes her two daisy and daffodil sandwiches One for her lunch at school and the other for breakfast. After he places the sandwich on the table, he trots up to Midnight’s room to wake her up. “Midnight wake up its time for school” Magic says as he opens the door and turns on the room’s light. Midnight slowly pulls the covers over head and let out a groan, clearly not wanting to get up this early. “C’mon sweetie, you gotta get up for school. Aren’t you excited about meeting your class? I hear those three fillies are in it too.” Magic says as midnight suddenly gets up. “You mean Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom?!” Midnight squeals, excited that she can see her friends again. “Yes those three, but you gotta get up and eat,” He manages to blurt out just before midnight ran past him and down the stairs. He sighs and follows soon after, smiling all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, he saw Midnight already at the table, ready to eat her breakfast and head out to school. “Don’t be into much of a rush, you may forget something and we don’t want that do we?” Magic asks as he sips his coffee. Midnight nods as she eats her sandwich eager to get to school and see her friends and make new friends. After Midnight finishes eating, she goes to put her saddle bag on. “Ok Dad i’m ready to go” With that Magic trots into the living room and gets ready himself. He then straps the saddle bag he got for christmas on so he can go to the market while Midnight is at school. After a few minutes of getting everything together, they finally headed out the door and towards Ponyville. When they got to Ponyville they stopped by the school and Magic dropped Midnight off for school and headed to the town’s market to do some shopping. magic went around to the market stalls grabbing some tomatoes, celery, pancake batter, eggs, apples, and anything else they needed, then payed for each of them trotting back home after about an hour or so of shopping. Back at the school, Midnight was standing outside, talking with the cutie mark crusaders, waiting for class to start. After a moment of talking, two other fillies walk up and sneer at the group of four. “Hey Blank Flanks.” They both said in unison, laughing as they walked by. “Blank flanks?” Midnight asks in a questionable tone. “Yeah... they call us blank flanks just cause we don’t have our cutie marks yet and they think just ‘cause they are rich that they are better than everypony else,” Scootaloo states. “But,” Apple Bloom starts, looking to the other two, “We won’t let them get us down, because we are the CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” they shout in unison, smiling widely afterwards. “Ok then, I’m a blank, but I’ll get my cutie mark soon, I just know it!” Midnight said excited. The school bell rang and all the students quickly ran into the school so they are not late on the first day. “Ok class, welcome to the first day of school, I am Ms. Cheerilee, and I will be your teacher,” Cheerilee said with a warm, joyful smile as all the fillies and colts moved around the room to find their seats. “Ok students, since its the first day, I want you all to introduce yourselves,” She said, pointing to the front left seat to start. It was one of them fillies from a moment ago. Her mane was silver, eyes were a violet color and her coat was a light grey. She stood up and cleared her throat. “Ahem. My name is Silver Spoon.” she states before sitting back down. After a few minutes of names it was time for Midnight and The Crusaders to give theirs. Apple Bloom, being in the first seat, stood first and spoke up. “Hello y’all,” she starts before the Diamond snickered. “Mah name’s Apple Bloom.” she finishes through gritted teeth, glaring back at the filly who made the noise. Then it was Sweetie’s turn. “Hi everypony. My name’s Sweetie Belle.” She says, her voice cracking slightly. After her went Scootaloo. “My name’s Scootaloo.” She states, flatly, apparently bored and clearly not wanting to be in the school house. Miss Cheerilee then turns her gaze to Midnight. Midnight looks at her shyly. “Come on sweetie, stand up and tell us your name. We won’t bite.” Ms. Cheerilee says smiling at Midnight. Midnight slowly stands up and lets out a light cough “I-i, um, my name is Midnight Wings and I live in the Everfree.” she says before sitting back down and relaxes a bit. Everypony looks back at her and some what in unison say “You mean ‘the’ Everfree, Everfree?” Midnights head lowers as she nods. “Aren’t you scared of getting attacked by monsters or getting cursed by Zecora?” Diamond tiara asks with a slight hint of concern, which is not like her at all. “No, not really, I can defend myself and if there is ever a case as to where i can’t get away or protect myself my dad is usually there to help” Midnight states before returning her attention to the teacher. “Okay. Now that that’s out of the way, who’s next?” Ms. Cheerilee asks, looks to the next student. Next up was a filly who had a creme colored coat and a red mane and tail, with purple glasses adorning the top of her muzzle. She stands up, smiling and speaks. “Hello everypony. My name isth Peppermint Twisthst.” she sits back down smiling as the next student stands up who can most likely be described as looking like a dog with his spotted coat. “My name’s Pipsqueak.” He says happily, having to put his fore-hooves on the desk for everypony to see him clearly. After a few more students Ms. Cheerilee comes upon Diamond Tiara, and like Silver spoon, she stands and clears her throat. “My name is Diamond Tiara… that’s all you need to know about me.” she states smugly, thinking she’s above everypony else with Silver Spoon coming in close second. After eight hours of what felt like eternity, the bell that ended school rang, letting all of the students go to go home. Midnight left the school with the three crusaders all four of them chatting up a storm, especially midnight, considering today was her first day of school. Meanwhile at home Magic was heading out to meet Midnight at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. After a little while, they meet at the entrance to the forest. “Hey sweetie. How was your first day of school?” Magic asked, smiling at the four fillies. “I was a bit shy at first but after a few hours I relaxed.” Midnight replied as she gave each of her friends a hug good night before her and Magic left to go home and prepare for the next day.
