the discovery and chase

Twilight and her friends were walking towards the everfree forest looking for the sorce of the magical outburst.  Twilight and rarity were using their horns to track it down.

"I'm telling you girls it was the stongest one yet" twilight explained. " but it's wierd because it's coming from the everfree" said twilight.

"Oooh oooh maybe its a cockatries or an ersa minor or timber wolf or-" pinkie didn't finish.

"An alicorn" fluttershy said looking strait ahead.

"I highly doubt that it's an alicorn there are only five alicorns in existence" rarity said.

"N-no look an alicorn filly" fluttershy said pointing with her hoof at a tree.

Everyone looked over to see a young alicorn filly sleeping on a makeshift bed made out of leaves and grass. The little alicorn had a midnight blue coat and long tangled black mane with purple highlights.

"Oh my goodness what Is she doing way out here we've been walking for hours we must be at least a couple of miles from fluttershy's house" twilight questioned.

Twilight then noticed a big leaf rapped around the filly's left wing. Then twilight was being a gentle as she could trying to remove the leaf from the filly's wing. Her friends watching curiously wondering what their friend was doing. When twilight successfully removed the leaf her and her friends gasped in surprise. The filly's wing was all mangled a it looked like a couple of her primary fethers were missing and dry blood on it along with many cuts and gashes.

"I don't think she's going to be flying any time soon" rainbow dash said still in shock with a pained look on her face as if  she was in the filly's hoof shoes.

"Come on girls we need to get her back to ponyville as soon as possible" said twilight gently levitating the filly up from the pile of leaves.

But as soon as the filly's body left the bed her eyes shot wide open reveling her purple eyes.

"What do you want?" she asked glaring at the ponies surrounding her while her horn lit up with very stong magic.

"We jus need to take you back to our town to a hospital" apple jack explained to the  hostile filly.

"Put me down I don't need help! " she yelled her face getting red with fury.

"In case you don't know your wing is all jacked up you need a docter" rainbow dash said to the still upset filly.

"I SAID PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed.

She then teleported out of twilight's magical grasp and looked as surprised as the rest before she began to run deeper into the forest.

"We need to stop her before something else does" twilight said then ran after the filly.

The little filly was running as quick as she can but not quick enough.  Rainbow dash flew up to the filly and landed in front of her.

"Wher do you think you're going" dash said with a smirk which instantly turned into an a frown when she sees that the filly has teleported out of the way.

"Where'd she go" apple jack asked

Twilight's horn lit up as she concentrated on a spell. when she finished she had a shocked look for about the fiftieth time that day.

"Oh my celestia, girls she's at the Crystal empire" twilight said.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Somewhere in princess celestia's castle a bright light takes the form of an alicorn filly.

"Where am I?" She asked her self still surprised that she can channel teleportation magic through anger and fear.

"Halt who gave you permission to be in here" a voice said behind her.

When she turned around she came face to face with an army of castle guards.

"Stand down she's just a filly" anorther voice said behind her.

She turned back to  see a huge unicorn stallion with a snow white coat and a toned blue mane.

"Hi whats your name" he asked her kneeling down to her level.

"Whats your name" she asked back glaring at the stanger.

"I'm prince shining armor and you are"

"I don't have a name i'm a orphan" she replied.

" well how did you get in the castle" he asked the tense filly.

The little filly's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm at the Crystal empire?" She asked looking around.

"Yeah you didn't know that?" Shining asked her.

"I was being chased in the everfree forest by six mares then one of them caught m and I teleported away and now I guess I'm in canterlot" she answered him.

Shining thought for a while before something clicked in his mind.

"Was one of the a purple alicorn? " he asked.

"Yeah how did you know?" She asked finally warming up to someone.

"Thats my little sister" he answered.

"Oh well I'm sorry" said the filly.

"Why?" Shining asked.

"I kinda hurt her horn by blocking her spell with my own alicorn magic" she said sheepishly smiling.

Then shining noticed that the little filly that he was talking to for the last fifteen minutes was indeed an alicorn.

"I wouldn't mind if you send me to the princess for hurting royalty and being an alicorn was scared andI couldn't control it" she said giving in..

"Really i didn't notice" shining said smirking.

The little filly began to tear up. Shining opened his hooves offering a hug. She accepted by jumping into him and squeezing him as tight as she can.

"You are the first pony to ever be kind to me" she said tears coming from her eyes.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

"Come on girls" twilight said running to the gates of the castle.

"Good evening princess twilight" flash sentry greeted.

"Hi flash is anything happening in there" twilight asked.

"Um yeah it's weird some alicorn filly showed up.

Twilight and her friends looked at each other then ran inside. When they got to the throne room what they saw made their jaws drop. Shining standing there with the alicorn filly sleeping on his back.

"Twily!" Shining walked over to greet the young princess.

"Hey shining" twilight said still confused.

"I was waiting for you. Come on me and cadence want to talk to you in private" shining said.

"Oookay" twilight said still unsure.

When they got to the meeting room cadence was sitting on a cushion sorting through some papers.

"Twilight there you are" cadence said running over to twilight.

One they were done with their dance they both sat down next to shining.

"Twilight this filly is an orphan she doesn't even have a name me and cadence want to adopt her but we can't" shining said his positive attitude gone.

"W-w-why not" twilight said her confused look replaced with a sad one.

"Well for starters we have to many royal duties we won't have enough time to give her all the love and attention she needs and this is coming from the alicorn of love" cadence explained.

"What does this have to do with me" twilight asked once again confused.

"She is very powerful and she needs to learn how to control her magic. You are the only one who can twilight celestia can also help her but she will have to keep her in the castle and do we really need another old twilight sparkle around"cadence said chuckling thinking about how twilight used to act before the elements of harmony.

Twilight was still confused.

"So what you are saying is that I should adopt her" twilight asked.

"Yes" cadence answered.

"Okay I'll do it" Twilight said.

"but please don't take her in as a mission. take her as a daughter"  Shining said before levitating the little filly off his back.

She opened her eyes in surprise but when she saw shining she smiled and huged him.

"Looks like somepony woke up" shining said with a smile.

"Hi I'm twilight we probably met before but it wasn't officially" twilight said smiling.

"I'm sorry for hurting you twilight it won't happen again" the filly said.

"It didn't hurt that much but I have news shining can't adopt you" twilight said the filly's smile disappeared. "But I can!"

The filly then started smiling wider than she has ever smiled before. She then hoped off of shining's back a started jumping around in circles.

"YES YESYESYESYESYES !" She said still jumping.

"Um I certainly see the resemblance twi" cadence said laughing then the other two jumped in also laughing.

school days cutie Mark story and bullies

It has been a week since midnight was brought into twilight's home. She has not began school yet because Twilight wants to see how far she is with school and it turns out that she is about above her age level in learning. Little midnight was also small for her age. She is only a month younger than Nyx . Speaking of Nyx midnight was now walking over two her new sister's room only to find Nyx hiding under the bed.

"Um Nyx twi said it's time for school" she said still not use to calling twilight "mom".

"I'm not going"said Nyx her cat-like eyes glowing from under the bed.

"Why tonight is almost hearts warming and I can't wait to find out the story behind it!"Middy said jumping up and down "plus spike said that it was going to be interesting" nyx groaned.

"I'm still not going there is a reason and you can never know" nyx explained.

"So your not gonna help you're little sister on her first day" midnight said giving Nyx the puppy dog eyes.

"I know I'm going to regret this. Fine I'll go" she said getting up from under the bed.

After a little victory dance midnight followed her sister to the kitchen where their mother and older brother were.

"You got her up middy" twilight said surprised.

"Yeah, yeah,  yeah can we just get this day over with" Nyx said sitting at the table stealing a muffin from spikes plate.

"I never seen Nyx like this she is always so cheerful  why is today so different" midnight whispers into twilight's ear.

"You'll find out soon enough" twi said. "Ok who is ready for school?"

"We are!" Spike and midnight said.

"I'm not" said nyx.

"Ok see you guys later and Nyx don't forget your job" twilight said ignoring what nyx said.

"I live for it" Nyx said sarcastically.

"Hey have fun the day will be over soon good luck don't send anyone to the moon like last year" twilight said giving Nyx a reassuring hug and smile.

They all grabbed their saddle bags and took off out the door.

====================================

"Good morning and merry hearts warming my name is miss cheeralie and why am I saying that is because we have a new student. Come in little one" miss cheeralie said.

Middy walked with a nervous smile on her face.

Before she can speak someone in the class started laughing.

"WOW another blank flank and this one is just the right size for a blank flank baby" diamond tiara yelled across the room making everyone else laugh. Midnight looked back at her flank before she looked down at the floor. Nyx the broke out of her depressed state and ran to the front of the class putting a protective wing over her little sister.

"Hey don't talk to her like that. Make fun of me ok make fun of my friends I'll stand up for them, but say anything and I mean ANYTHING to my little sister and you won't see celestia raise another sun. Do you understand" everyone was silent "I said DO YOU UNDERSTAND" everyone quickly nodded even diamond tiara.

"Good now lets get back to learning. come on midnight you can sit next to me" midnight was to shocked to say anything so she just followed nyx.

Even mis cheeralie was too shocked she just continued with the lesson.

Later it was lunchtime and everyone raced outside midnight coming last. By the time she came out everyone was already in their spots eating. She looked up to the top of a hill to find spike, nyx and a couple of other fillies and colts. She ran up top.

"Hi guys" she said.

"Hold on are you a cutie Mark crusader" said three fillies as they jumped in front of Nyx.

"Um no?" She said.

"I don't think you should be around nyx during this time of year" said the unicorn on the left.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys this is my new little sister midnight sky " nyx said walking over to midnight.

"You could call me middy or sky. Also I'm only a few months younger than you Nyx you don't need to adress me as your 'little' sister" Middy said poking Nyx playfully in the side.

"My mistake this is my SISTER midnight" Nyx said.

"You are so lucky I wish I had a sister around my age" Scootaloo said.

"Rainbow sure does act foalish" mumbled spike earning a glare from the Orange Pegasus.

The group ate their lunch talking about cutie marks when midnight learned that she was the only one without hers. Apple bloom having a hammer and screwdriver in an heart shaped apple. Sweetie Belle having a bell with music notes swirling around it. Nyx with a shield. And spike with a note and quill. Then she looked at Scootaloo's.

"Hey scoots what does your mark mean" midnight asked looking at the Pegasus.

"Weeell" scootaloo said looking back at her flank. It was a pure white dove  with its head turned to the side and the wings spead wide. " I don't really know how to explain it. I wasn't paying attention to what fluttershy was saying about it.

"Maybe if you tell me how you it I can understand" midnight said.

"It was a few months ago in the summer" scoots began.

### flash back

Scootaloo was standing dangerously close to the edge of a cloud. Next to her was rainbow dash and behind was a nervous Fluttershy.

"Umm rainbow are you sure this is safe" Flutter said looking to the ground below.

"Of course it is this is exactly how I learned to fly the little squirt will be flying home next to you instead of on your back tonight" said rainbow said ruffling scootaloo mane.

"I'm ready" scoots said getting into a stance.

"Alright remember wings out, hooves tucked, and steady flaps" rainbow said.

"Wings out, hooves tucked, and steady flaps got it" said scootaloo following the instructions.

"Ok squirt ready one, two, three-"

"WAAAAAAIT" Fluttershy cried out.  "She's not ready!"

"What do you mean she is practically a teenager she'll need to fly some time" rainbow stated.

"No she doesn't"

"Yes she does"

"No she doesn't"

"Yes she does"

"No she doesn't"

"What do you think squirt?... um squirt?"

By the time the two pegasi turn the filly was long gone.

"HEEEEEEEEEEELP!" They heard said filly yell.

They both jump off the cloud zooming towards the Orange Pegasus with Fluttershy surprisingly faster. The filly tries her hardest to fly but her wings can't carry her. She is seconds away from the ground.  Scoots closes her eyes knowing that this was the end. But everything stopped. She opened her eyes and felt the rush of wind grace around her feathers. How the rushing air slightly lifted her. It felt the same as riding her scooter.

She was enjoying the wind so much she didn't realize that she hasn't hit the ground yet. She then opened her eyes and noticed that she was no longer falling but she was rising up. She has never felt this way before it was like magic even when she stopped moving she felt the wind surrounding her. She loved the fealing it was meant for her.

There was a bright flash and her cutie Mark appeared.

#END OF FLASH BACK

"Wow no matter how many times I hear it I'm still amazed" Nyx said.

"That's the second best cute mark story. Right behind Nyx's" Sweetie Belle said. "I just entered the school's talent show, I came , I sang and boom cutie Mark."

"Well mine showed up when I was fixin' the clubhouse after the storm last month" Bloom said.

"Wait you said Fluttershy is your mom?" Middy question.

"Not really I'm adopted. Fluttershy found me a few winters ago"

Before anypony can say anything else someone someone rudely intruded on their group.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is the blank mark crybabies" diamond tiara said whith her new partner purple jewl. The filly was a dark purple with a short gray main and cyan eyes.

"Um diamond we got our cutie marks a while ago" spike said looking back at the others snickering.

"Oh that doesn't matter anymore because I like you guys so much that I found other ways to get under your skin, Clone colt"

Spike growled.

"Country bumpkin"

Apple bloom looked bored yet irritated

"Squeaky belle"

Sweetie frowned.

"Adopted"

Apple bloom and sweetie belle were holding scootaloo down.

"The classic blank flank"

Middy looked confused. 'What's a blank flank' she thought.

'Exactly how it sounds' she heard nyx yet her sister was not moving her lips. 'Telepathic mind spell' said Nyx smirking.

"And now we come down to the biggest one. The 'dangerous' night-"

Diamond tiara's bulling came to a stop when the class bell rang. Nyx was silently thanking celestia.

Midnight had to know what was wrong with her sis and she needed to know now.

Sorry I'm done

I think i might just end it here and continue later but midnight is not gone yet. She is in the story autumn breeze nyx and spike are older there and so are the crusaders. Don't worry just move on and read more and if you ask about the villin from chapter two... we'll see about that.

what was that!?!

"Nyx, Spike get up its time for school" Princess twilight sparkle yelled up the stairs of her tree home.

Twilight was packing two lunch boxes for her daughter Nyx and her son Spike was hit with magic turning him into a unicorn colt less than a month ago. Just then twilight heard two pairs of hooves coming down the stairs.

"Morning mom!" Nyx and spike said at the same time. Twilight noticed that spike was in a daze looking the same way he used to look at rarity before he was changed into a pony.

"Um spike are you alright" twilight asked smirking knowing exactly what the look on his face ment.

Nyx started to giggle as spike glared at her blushing "nothing mom its just... nothing" spike said while obviously trying to hide something.

"Well mom I guess nothing also meens somepony has a crush on Orange leaves" said Nyx laughing as spike started to glare at her once again.

"Aww my little colt is becoming a handsome stallion" twilight cooed. Nyx hoped out of her chair and ran towards twilight grabbing her saddle bag and lunch before turning back to twilight.

"Thanksforlunchmomloveyoubye!" Said nyx before she teleported to school.

"When will I learn how to teleport so I can catch her next time" spike said starting at the spot nyx was recently standing.

"Don't worry she just started learning she couldn't have gotten too far" twilight said while looking out the window with spike.

Just then nyx appeared a few feet away from the library.

"Oh come on!" Nyx complained before angrily walking to school.

"Well you better be going or you'll be late have a good day. And when you come home I want to hear all about this Orange leaves filly" twilight teased.

"I'm going to kill nyx!" Spike yelled trotting out the door.

About twenty minutes later twilight was outside on the balcony sitting in her favourite reading spot reading a list on how to properly rule over a kingdom rarity has written for her. Twilight started to giggle at the letter.

"Rarity you always seem to make me laugh without even trying" twilight said.

Then out of no where a huge wave of magic has been released from the everfree forest and twilight has felt this and had to hold her horn to keep her head from raddling. When it stop twilight was still stiff with shock.

"What the hay was that".

settling in

when twilight came out of the castles meeting room she had a tired little filly on her back. cadence and her brother took a very long time to say goodbye to the alicorn filly for they have grown very close to her.

"your going to love it in ponyville. there are a lot of fillies and colts your age and you have a sister at home" twilight said.

"A sister?" she questioned.

"yup her name is nyx and an older brother spike but he is only about two years older than you and nyx. oh and don't worry about everyone at school getting weird about a alicorn in their class nyx is an alicorn too"

but when twilight turned around to look at the filly she was snoozing away with soft snores. twilight giggled quietly to herself. she caught up with her friends and when she got to them they looked at the filly then back at her. twilight nervously laughed before saying.

"um motherly instincts" she said.

her friends laughed while walking out side.

"Now how about a name for you" twilight said while walking outside.

when she got outside it was eleven fifty-nine but when the clock hit twelve a miracle happened.

the filly began to glow and so did her horn. twilight's friends stopped to look. the filly didn't even twitch.

"Girls I think I have a name for her" twilight said.

"What is it twilight?" fluttershy asked being the first one to stop looking up at the sky.

"this is midnight sky" twilight said nuzzling the little filly on her back.

midnight seemed to smile in her sleep.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

when twilight got home she saw spike on the couch reading with nyx on the floor listening.

"I'm home guys" twilight said closing the door behind her.

nyx and spike instantly popped up from  their books and ran over to twilight giving her a hug. nyx was the first one to notice midnight on twilight's back.

"mom who is that" nyx asked spike also wondering who is on their mothers back.

" guys this is your new sister midnight sky" twilight said as midnight woke up due to all the noise. " say hi midnight "

"hi?" midnight said to spike and nyx before hopping off of twilight's back.

"now that's out of the way can you guys explain what you are doing up at midnight on a school night" twilight said giving nyx and spike a stern look.

"we were worried about you?" spike said.

"off to bed now go" twilight said ushering her kids up the steps.

twilight went to her room after tucking nyx and spike in. her and midnight got into her bed and twilight pulled her closer while thinking about when she first got nyx.

'I just hope nothing bad like that happens' twilight thought closing her eye.

not knowing a shadowy figure watching them from a crystal ball.

"so now she thinks she's safe because she has the elements on her side" the shadow said looking as the crystal ball showed midnight falling asleep.

"enjoy your happy life now for it shall end soon"
