illaillustrator and dark ink walked together through town. " good morning Mrs. Cake!" Her brother waved to mrs. Cake, who waved back happily. they continued walking along . Derpy tripped over dropping a box she was carring "whoops" illustrator went to her "are you alright ditzy do?" She picked up the box . Ditzy stood up and nodded "yep! Have you seen your dad around here?" Illaillustrator giggled and nodded " he was heading to the office earlier. Did you loose him again? " ditzy smiled and nodded "he'll be here soon. But we need to go. Bye miss ditzy!" They waved to her. She waved to them "have fun at school! " she went to go in the building but bumped in the doorway. But she eventually made it in. They continued on their walk.Pinkie pie bounced over with olimpic speed "good morning! " they laughed "good morning pinkie pie!" She giggled and bounced away. They finally got to dark ink's class. Illaillustrator sighed when she saw it. But she smiled at him and kissed his head "have a good day dark ink" he smiled and nuzzled her side "you too big sis!" He ran into his classroom happily "enjoy that feeling for as long as you can inky. Not being tormented every day. Feeling like you're going to fall apart" she thought sorrowfully as she walked away. She watched everyone around her. They were happily doing what the always did. Everyone always seemed to follow some kind of routine that she wasn't told about. She had that odd feeling again. Like she wasn't supposed to be there. She felt like she was an odd Mare out. She sighed sadly and tutned the corner. There was her class. She could see some of the other fillies running around. Like those three who were always together. She could never remember their names though. All she new is they were about the only other blank flanks besides her. But she was way to shy to actually talk with them. She just walked into the classroom and looked around. Then she had that odd urge to smash a chair. All she saw in the class was the fillies that had bullied her and mocked her. "Isn't this just fantastic? " she mumbled sarcastically
So im the monster they're not allowed to treat kind?

She took her seat. Which was close to the wall on the left but also close to the board. She liked to sit here because her glasses were really bad so she didn't have to strain her eyes if she sat there. She looked at tgem all. In the front was diamond tiara and silver spoon. Behind them was snips and snails. Those three other fillies came inside and sat behind illustrator "i wonder what miss cheerilee is going to teach us this week" the white, purple, and pink filly said happily " i have no idea" said the yellow one with red hair. Illaillustrator noticed she had quite a southern dralw. " good morning class!" Cheerilee greeted "good morning!" The others greeted "good morning. ." She said quietly . " i hope you're all ready for the new school year!" They nodded "well i thought that what we should do first is introduce ourselves! " all but illaillustrator cheered in agreement. Illaillustrator went pale at the thought of that. "We'll go one by one. You'll come up to the front and introduce yourself. Lets start with you!" She pointed to snails, who came up "hello everyone my name is snails!" They waved "anything special you'd like to tell us?" Cheerilee asked . He nodded "my parents went to canterlot over the summer!" They clapped "very interesting. Who wants to go next?" Diamond tiara and silver spoon raised tgeir hoofs. She nodded to them and they both went up. "Hello there. Im diamond tiara and this is silver spoon" she gestured to her "and last year i was the leader of the newspaper " she smiled smugly and they sat down "thank you. Who's next?" "Oh how about us miss cheerilee? !" They orange and pink pony raised her hoof and waved. "Come on up you three" the three of them ran up "hey my names scootalo!" "Im sweetybell!" "And my names applebloom!" They all smiled big "and we're -" "blank flanks" diamond tiara whispered. Making some of the kids laugh. Scootalo glared at her "true. But i was going to say we're the cutie mark crusaders!" Applebloom continued. Illaillustrator looked to her flank worried. It was as blank as it had always been. The three all sat down behind her. This process continued till she was the only one who didn't go up yet. "Is there anyone else left?" Sweetiebell pointed to illustrator " she hasn't miss cheerilee " illustrator winced and walked up slowly "what's your name dear?" She gulped "it's illaillustrator " she mumbled " hm?" "I - illustrator " she said a bit louder. Cheerilee smiled "that's a beautiful name. Can you tell us something about yourself? " she nodded slowly "i love to draw. Im actually very good at it" cheerily smiled calmly " thank you. You can sit down" cheerily could tell that she was very nervous so she let her leave at that. Diamond tiara smirked at her as she walked by. She quickly sat down. "Alright fillies" the bell rung "recess!" They cheered And ran outside. Illaillustrator followed after them slowly. Everyone ran around happily. She sat on the grass by a flower patch. She talked quietly with a bird that landed near her. When it flew away she looked around to see who desturbed her and the bird. It was the a small green filly. she looked around nervously " um hello.." she tried her best to smile. The green filly beamed "hey there! Name's clover!" She chimed happily. She had a slight accent . It was a bit like appleblooms. "Illaillustrator " clover shook her hoof hard " nice t-to meet you!" She yelped "can you let go of my hoof please?" She dropped it and nudged her "why of course illaillustrator! " she giggled. She snorted a bit. Somehow by some miracle she made illaillustrator smile. "Oh hey blank flanks!" Diamond tiara smirked at them. Clover just waved to her " hey there miss diamond tiara! " she scoffed and rolled her eyes "you really are dumb" illaillustrator's eyes darted around. She was already panicking " h-hey that's r-really rude" she shook slightly "mhm. It's supposed to dear" she poked her chest "hey now no need to get rough" clover interrupted. Diamond tiara just scoffed and pushed illaillustrator down . Silver spoon pushed clover down too " listen you two. Don't you ever back sass us or tell me im wrong in any way" with that they both trotted off. Illaillustrator slowly curled up and shook "are you alright miss illaillustrator? " clover stood Next to her. She just stayed there shaking. Clover nugged her. She got up slowly, her hoofs still shook slightly. "Come on. You don't have to listen to them" clover nuzzled her and lead her back to the class
Illustrator yawned and opened her eyes. She saw bright sunlight shining on her night table "dear celestia.." she said angrily . She slowly got out of bed and shook her head and streched out her wings, yawning. She looked to her mirror. Her purple mane had a white stipe in it that went from her bangs to the end of her mane. Her mane was a huge mess of frizzy hair. She just sighed and grabbed her glasses and set them on her nose. At least she could see properly now. She grabbed her saddle bag and put her things in it. She put it on her back and went into the hall. "Doodle!" Her little brother yelled when he saw her . She giggled " good morning dark ink" she greeted happily . He giggled and they walked into the kitchen " are you ready for the new school year doodle?!" He cheered happily as he sat at his spot at the table. Her smiled weakened "yeah" she lied. After all she didn't want to ruin his excitement. "That's great doodle! I am too!" She smiled . She honestly loved her home life. They all cared for her and her brother always knew when to make her smile or comfort her. Her parents they . He thoughts were interrupted by a poke to her ear. It was her mother. She smiled sweetly at her "your main is an uter mess dear!" Her mother giggled. She used her magic to levitate a brush over and brushed through illustrator's hair. Once it was back to it's soft flat form she put it in a hair tie. "Thanks momma" she smiled and kissed her forehead " no problem sweety" illustrator went to eating her biscuits. Her father tumbled into the kitchen. All of them laughed "did you fall down the stairs again daddy?" He beamed at her "why of course my little love" he straightened the eccentric glasses her wore. "Have fun at work daddy!" "Will do dark ink!" He bumped into the door but made it out eventually. "That means you two should get to school soon" illaillustrator nodded and got up "come on dark ink!" He grabbed his bag and kissed their mother "bye momma!" "Bye you two! And try to stay safe illustrator! " she nodded and they headed out across town to shcool
She slowly trotted out of the building "sissy!" Her brother glomped her happily. She sighed and put on her best smile "hey dark ink! How was school?" He beamed and flew next to her. "It was awesome! Guess what we get to do tomorrow!!" She smiled at him. She was glad she could hide things like this from him. She never wanted him to know how much his sister, his idol in life, hurt on the inside. "What?" "We get to write stories about a family member. Im going to write about you big sis!" She ever so slightly teared up "that's great inky!" He giggled " mhm! I cant wait to write it !" They both walked together to their home "how was your school sissy? " she coughed at this and cleared her throat "it was great" "did you make any new friends?" She nodded slowly "thats awesome sissy!what's their name?" She smiled genuinely now "clover" "oh oh can i meet her someday?!" "I don't see why not" they laughed together "hey you wanna go to the apple patch with me?" He hopped up and down "of course!" She giggled and they walked together to the apple orchard. When they got there they were greeted by applebloom "hoowdy! What brings you?" Illaillustrator cleared her throat nervously " i was hoping i could get us some of your families apple pie..." "hey you're that new filly in my class! Come on in ! Im sure granny smith won't mind getting yall some " they followed her into their house "granny smith!" "What is it?" She yelled back from the kitchen " some fillies came over to get your famous pie!" They followed her into the kitchen. Granny smith was sitting in her rocking chair "well of course they can have some!" She slowly got out of her chair and went over to the oven. On it was several apple pies "wow there's so many!" Dark ink gushed. Granny smith chuckled "well you'd be surprised how many mare and colts come for my pies." She handed them both a pie "thank you. How much are they?" She asked quietly . Granny smith and applebloom laughed "you dont have to pay for them. Yall are only fillies" granny smith explained. "But but" her brother kicked her shin "thanks!" They nodded "no problem! " "lets go sissy!" Her brother lead her out "thank you again!" She followed after him "they were sonice.." her brother nodded.
