CATR: My Diamond in the rough
It's the late afternoon. The sun shines brightly over the beautiful city of Canterlot. Just outside the city lies the school called 'Canterlot High'. You can recognize it by the giant horse statue on a cube in front of the school. The fall season was slowly approaching and Canterlot High was preparing itself for a very special event: The Fall formal. It's a great dance party where you can even vote for a Fall formal Princess.
The final bell just rang and all the students were leaving the building, heading home or heading to Sugar cube Corner for a snack. There was a group of 5 girls who were all back together now thanks to the help of their new sixth friend: Twilight Sparkle, who would like to become the Princess of the Fall Formal.
Since Twilight brought them back together, the rest of the girls agreed to help her in becoming the Princess of the Fall formal. A certain purple haired, fashionista girl with eyes so beautifully blue as a sapphire and skin as white as snow had an amazing idea to help Twilight win the crown....
However! Our story doesn't start with them. Our story begins in the more chic part of Canterlot. In the Arctic-street, nr. 7 was a moving truck parked. The truck was almost empty, there were only a few boxes were left. A certain boy runs out of the villa and grabbed the final boxes.
After he got them out, the boy walks back inside. Suddenly his ears were starting to burn as if they were caught fire.
“Ouch my ears!” The boy screamed while grabbing his ears. But there was nothing wrong with them. “What the heck was that? It felt like my ears were buring!” He said to himself.
“Silver, honey are you alright?” A women asked, from the kitchen.
“I'm fine mom! Don't worry.” The boy assured her and he looked around the street to see anything if strange occurred.“Must've imagined it.” He assumed.
The boy picked up the last few boxes and heads to his new home. He's pretty big for an average teenager. Around 6 feet tall. He has natural blue skin, gold-yellow eyes and raven, silver hair.
He wears a black hoodie with dark-blue stripes on the arm lengths, a white T-shirt with a red shield and a yellow outline on it, with a white star in the center, blue jeans and dark gray sneakers.
The boy who's name is Silver Knight entered his new home and was greeted by his mother Silver Melody. She has long, curly silver hair, light-blue skin and azure blue eyes. She wears black boots, a dark gray dress and a golden necklace with a golden music note.
“Hi honey. Are those the last boxes of your move?” She asks her son.
Silver nodded at her. “Yeah these are the stuff that goes to my room.” He replies.
“Since everything else is done, how about you install everything in your room while I make some dinner for us?” His mother suggested.
“Okay mom sounds great.” Silver agreed and walks up the stairs with the two boxes. Arriving in his room, Silver sees that his room is already painted in dark-blue, his favorite color. His bed was already made except for his desk, his bookcase and his wardrobe.
Silver placed the boxes on his bed for now and walked to a few bigger boxes in the center of his room. In one of the boxes he finds his tool box. He grabbed his screwdriver and starts to fix his desk.
After an hour and a half Silver finished his work and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Thank goodness I still had the plans of my desk, bookcase and wardrobe. It could've been a lot longer if I hadn't had them.” He said relieved.
“Now to install my computer....” after 30 minutes everything was installed in Silver's room. His computer worked again, all his clothes were in his wardrobe and his comics and the books he reads like 'Daring Do' were in his bookcase. “Why do I feel that there's someting missing?” He wondered.
“Right!” As he snapped his fingers. In one of his boxes on his bed, Silver graps his posters that he almost forgot. Most of them were from movies, games and music bands that he likes but his most favorite one was the poster with the 'legendary DJ trio Party Shadow' on it. Only two of the three guys are known.
Hack Wonder is the guy on the left. He wears a purple tailcoat, dress pants and top hat. He also wears a black button shirt with a small purple bow tie and holds a black cane in his hand.
The guy on the right is Casino Chase. He wears a golden yellow jacket with a blue t-shirt under it, light blue jeans and golden yellow boots. His hair is gold and spiky and his eyes are blue.
The boy above Casino and Hack, hiding a bit in the shadows is unknown. The fans of the trio only known him as 'Crimson Hood'.
“Casino, Hack and Crimson... I hope I will met you guys someday.” Silver hoped as he hanged this poster above his bed.
“Oh you have no idea my friend.” Said a familiar voice.
“Huh?” Silver looked around his room but there is no one, he looked in the hall, outside his window and still no one.
He taped his forehead a few times. “That move from Manehattan to Canterlot did me no good. Now I'm starting to hear voices in my head.” Silver said dryly.
“Silver! Dinner's ready come on down!” His mother called from downstairs.
“Alright coming mom.” He answered. “Maybe dinner will do me some good.” As he closed the door of his room.
After the deliscious dinner that his mother made for him Silver was now enjoying a tasty apple and some great apple cider that was made by the local apple orchard: Sweet Apple acres, while his mother was reading a magazine.
“Say mom, might I ask you something?”
“Hmm?” As she looked up from her magazine.
“Why did you want me to move from Manehattan to Canterlot? I could've stayed with dad.”
Silver Melody places her magazine on the table and looks her son in his eyes with a caring look. “I know honey, but your father is the CEO of the 'HeadOnSecurity'. He's barely home and I don't want you staying alone in his apartment all the time.” She explained to her son.
“It this then any better and that still doesn't explain why you want me to live in Canterlot.” Silver said calmly.
Melody sighs. “Have you seen the news lately honey?”
“Yes I have.” Silver nodded at his mother. “Why?”
“The criminal rate in Manehattan has been increased by 10% by an unknown criminal organization.” She said. “Now I know you can take care of yourself when you're alone on the street. But.... I want my son to grew up in a more stable and safer environment. So that's why your father and I agreed to move you away from Manehattan.” His mother finished explaining.
“Fair enough then mom.” Silver admitted. “One more question tough. Which school am I going to?”
“You will go to Canterlot High. I've made an arrangement with you and the principal. Be at her office at 8 o'clock tomorrow.” Melody said.
Silver raised an eyebrow. “Canterlot High? I thought Father wanted me to go to Crystal Prep.”
Melody sighed and stood up from her seat an turns her back to her son, looking at the window outside. “Your father wanted that indeed. He said it would be perfect for you, since you always study hard and have good grades. Crystal Prep would be perfect for you he said to me.”
Silver stood up and stands next to his mother. “Then why do you want me to go to Canterlot High instead?”
Melody lowers her head. “Because I've been in Crystal Prep during my high school years and the school is not what it's supposed to be.”
“What do you mean by that?” Silver asked.
His mother looks at him and placed both her hands on the shoulders of her son. “During my time at Crystal Prep, the Principal only cared for her reputation and doesn't care about the goodness of the students. The new principal called Abacus Cinch isn't any better.”
Silver Knight looks down, knowing that his mother is right. His niece, Silver Spoon went to Crystal prep during the first half of her Freshmen year. But was transferred to Canterlot High after the holidays because of the bad influence that Crystal Prep created around her.
Suddenly they heard a horn from a car outside. The Taxi had arrived.
Melody looks at her watch. “Oh dear, is it already 7:30 pm? I'm sorry honey, I have to go to the airport now.”
Silver sighed. “Can't you stay a little longer mom? Who knows how long it'll be before I see you or dad again. A few weeks or a few months?”
“I wish I could stay a little longer honey. But Sapphire Shores needs me. She starts her world tour and as her manager I need to be there for her.”
Silver didn't like it. “I know mom, but I just wanted you and father here with me.”
Melody placed her fingers under her son's chin, making Silver look up at her. “We'll be back before the holidays. I promise.” His mother assured him.
“I'm gonna hold you that mom.” Silver chuckled and hugged his mother one last time. “I'm going to miss you.”
His mother patted him on the back. “I'll miss you too my son. Give me a call whenever you need me. Ok?”
“I will mom.” Silver nodded.
They then heard the horn of the Taxi again. “Well... it's time for me to go. Goodbye for now... My son.” As she gave him as kiss on the cheek.
“Let me walk you out mom.” Silver suggested as he also started carrying all of his mother's luggage.
Melody looks at her son. Who she raised into the young man he is now. “So helpfull, kind and generous to others. I hope you find happiness here Silver Knight and make many friends here and find true love.” She thought.
“Mom! Moooom!” Silver screamed at little at her, snapping Melody out of her thoughts.
“Huh?” As she shocked her head lightly.
“Your Taxi is ready.” Silver said as he opened the door for her.
Melody gave him a cute smile. “Why thank you kindly good sir” and she stepped into the Taxi.
“Your welcome my Lady.” Silver winked at his mother.
His mother opened the window real quick to say one last thing to her son. “Oh honey, I almost forgot! This is for you.” She gave Silver an envelope. “Don't open it until tomorrow ok? It's a surprise.” She said in teasing tone.
"Aaaw why wait till tomorrow?" As Silver took the envelope and looked at it. There was something in it and not just a letter something bigger. He felt it on the envelope.
"That's why it's a surprise silly." His mother retorted.
Silver pouted at her, turning Melody's attention back to the Taxi-driver. “Take me to the airport please.”
“Yes ma'am.” The driver replied and started to drive, leaving the villa.
Melody waves goodbye to her son, which he also did in return.
When the Taxi disappeared around the corner, Silver headed back inside his home. He turned on the TV, watching one of his favorite childhood series.

In the front yard, two figures in a nearby bush came out of their hiding place. “That was him, that's one of the many new friends I felt with my Pinkie sense!” Said the first figure excited.
“So that's him, you sure Pinkie?” Asked the second figure.
“Absolutely Dashie! This is the one of the many new friends that we're about to make in the nearby future.” Said the first figure called Pinkie Pie.
“Yeah, we'll see about that.” The second figure called Rainbow Dash said. “C'mon we need to head back home. We don't want to be caught spying on the new kid.”
“Oki Doki Loki!” Pinkie said and she jumped away happily back to her car with Rainbow Dash following her.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away was a boy driving his motorcycle on the highway. The boy looks similar to vinyl scratch. The only differences are his hair color. It's red with magenta streaks and his body is more muscular like Silver Knight.
The boy had a determined look on his face. A few days ago he made an important decision, one that could have severe consequences in his further life. “I don't care what he thinks or what will happen. I'm going home! Back to my mother, my sister and”
“….. my friends” He said those last words out loud.
