Chapter 1: Getting to know your way around

Fleetfoot swiftly landed on the Wonderbolts compound, her wings ached from flying for to long, her hooves weren't much better. She swung her head back when she remembered that she had a longer and different colored mane then she had the day before. She reached up as she found something to grab onto. She pulled, the blue mane came off her head finally showing the swiftly pulled back silver mane she always had.  She caught at two moving silhouettes. She was then greeted by Spitfire, Her bright golden pelt and fiery mane was hard to miss while Mistyfly's pelt was a soft yellow pelt with a light blue mane that was hard to see through the lighting of the sky. Their expressions told Fleet that something was wrong. Mistyfly shifted her body  from one side to the other while Spitfire's tail swished back and forth just as it normaly does when they are anxious or worried.

Spitfire then opened her mouth to speak. Fleetfoot could barley understand her, all she could interpret was;

"Did you find her?...We have to hurry... Tell the princesses!..

"Spitty slow down, I can barly understand you when you talk that way. I did every thing that you asked. Her name is Night Glimmer, just like the prophecy said."  Fleet added

MistyFly spoke up, as she stepped forward reciting part of the words from the prophecy.

"The night that glimmers, will hold the key, to fight the shadows born from evils deed."

"We have to tell the princesses what we have found," Spitfire said, her eyes wide of fear under her dark sunglasses.

The three ponies flew as fast as they could to Spitfire's office, where they contacted Princess Twilight Sparkle. Spitfire knew that if they could contact princess Twilight, she would then be able to contact Princess Luna. Spitfire opened one of the drawers from her desk and took out a scroll and quill.

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle

I have some important news to discuss with you and Princess Luna. The Shadowbolt are on tails end thinking of a plan. We must do the same!

Signed- Spitfire

Misty fly was stroking a fire when Spitfire had finished writing the letter. Fleetfoot turned to hear Spitfire say under her breath

"I hope she gets this." Spitfire mumbled as she dropped the scroll into the fire. The three ponies watched at the scroll burned up then disappeared into a cloud of green vapor. They watched it fly out the open window of the office seeking out Princess Twilight.

The sun was shining bright through the dorm windows. Night Glimmer opened her eyes, trying to remember what had happened the day before. She had woken up to the sound of snoring every now and then.

SNRKKKKKKKK!

Glimmer lowered her ears and frowned. How was she doing to sleep if somepony is snoring, she thought bitterly.

She shifted in her bed, and yawned while almost hitting her head on the top bunk as she tried to sit up. Luckily all of the other pegasi in the dorm room were still asleep, she took off the sheets from over her and  got out of bed.

Night Glimmer thought she might as well look around and maybe find a clock, the sun was still low in the sky when Glimmer looked out the window, it was probably seven thirty. She had at least an hour before Openskies would come and escort them to the cafeteria for breakfast then the training field where they would be tested.

Glimmer quietly opened the door that was just a little away from the bunks then peered down the hall, no pony was in sight. She walked out quietly trotting so there was only a soft clip-clop sound along the marble floor. She walked down the hall pasted a big door. The smells of breakfast filled my nose. she had forgotten how hungry she was.

GRHHHHHHH

just as she thought, as her stomach grumbled as to answer her yearn for food. She turned around, she could hear the soft tick of A clock. It was 8:25, Glimmer blocked the smell of breakfast out of her mind as she remembered that she had to get back to the dorm at 8:30. Glimmer swiftly back down the hall to her dorm.

She got back to the dorm room to see that all of her bunk mates where up and full of energy. She just got back in time to see Openskies walk through the same door.

"Well I'm glad everypony is up because today is going to be a busy one." Openskies said "Today we are going to the training field to began the three tasks."

At that we all followed Openskies  through the same hall way that I had just a few minutes ago as we stopped in front of the big doors.

"I'm so hungry."

Glimmer heard a Pegasus behind her say , her ears perked up at the thought of food.

"Yeah, I was to excited to eat yesterday." Glimmer heard another Pegasus say

The walked in to see lots of big tables lined up next to each other, far in the back from the entrance  there already was a line of ponies waiting to be served the breakfast of the day.

Glimmer grabbed a good space at the end of the line as she wait what seemed to be years, There were sections where the food lay; eggs, beacon, pancakes and waffles, toast and juice.

once she had gotten her eggs and pancakes Glimmer trotted over to the "New workers" table.

After siting down and had gotten comfortable she opened her mouth and took a large bite, five seconds later Glimmer spit out the eggs, they weren't even chewed yet and they already tasted horrible, they tasted like cardboard that was spit out a million times to get it that soggy look. No one else seemed to enjoy the food either. Maybe the pancakes were better Glimmer hoped as she took a smaller bit of the pancakes from her plate. Not bad, but not great either she thought. Glimmer looked around and watched as a couple more ponies sitting next her spit some of the food out, while washing their mouths out with the juice that was provided. Ten minutes later we all heard a loud bell ding as Openskies came back to pick us up.

The Lunch room emptied out fast as the only group left was the "New Worker" group.

Glimmer trotted over to the trash can to throw out the plate with still intact eggs on it.

"Didn't liked the food either I presume."

A mares voice said next to her, Glimmer turned to see a light purple mare, with a yellow and cream colored mane

"Yeah, it doesn't even taste like food." Glimmer said laughing as she notice that the purple mare was throwing her food out as well.

"My name is Cloud Kicker, I'm new here as well."

"My name is Night Glimmer." Glimmer said as she introduced herself.

The two mares followed the group out to the training field to began the three tasks.
