The Pony in the Cloak

"Class," said Ms. Cheeralee, "today we have a new student. This is Bright Lights. She's from Prance." A filly wearing a cloak came towards the class. "Um, hello..." she said in a squeaky voice. "We are so happy to have you here, Bright Lights. Why don't you sit in the empty seat next to Diamond Tiara?" said Cheeralee. Slowly, Bright Lights walked to her desk. When she sat down, the pony in front of her turned around and said loudly, "Hey there! I'm Scootaloo. Wanna be friends?" "Um... sure. Okay," said Bright, softly. "Sweet!" said Scootaloo. "By the way, what's with that cloak? Can't you take it off?" Bright's eyes seemed to widen at that question. "Oh, well... I don't know. Kind of a family thing." "Oh," said Scootaloo, confused.
