The Runaway Learns a Lesson

"Oh my Celestia Mother, why are you nagging me about my style!" A goth pegasus shouted at a pony with a rainbow mane in anger and rage. With steam coming out of her pierced nose.

"HEY! Young lady that is no way to talk to your mother," a stallion said.

"It's no use, Soarin there is no taming this brat," Rainbow Dash glared at her daughter and scoffed.

"Oh my god, you guys are so ridiculous," Midnight scoffed and screamed in frustration. Midnight went to her room and slamming the door shut. She looked at her pet cat and gently strocked her fur. She then sighed and sat up. "Oh Mittens... I feel like they don't understand me at all..." Mittens rubbed herself against Midnight's face and purred gently. Midnight picked up her cat and held her and looked in her mirror. Midnight had a dark look, navy fur coat, dark rainbow mane and dark pink eyes. She wore eye line, and dark eye shadow just the way her aunt Rarity had taught her. She had piercings on her nose, lip, ears, belly button and eye brow line all of them had the shape or design of a moon attached to them. She wore her hair in a braid with her messy bangs hanging off covering one eye. She has one tattoo on her shoulder of a black heart with the words "Never Ending Night". Her cutie mark was a grey heart with a moon in the middle and stars around it. Her talent was that she knows about all the stars in the night sky. "I don't get why they think I'm so different from everypony else.... maybe I should run away." Mittens gently purred against Midnight and hissed a bit at the idea of her owner leaving. "I know you don't like that idea, Mittens but... I think it's my only option."

*knock knock* "Midnight, open this door now!" Midnight flinched at the sound of her grandfathers booming voice.

"Oh crap, Grandpa Spectrum is going to kill me, I have to get out of here." Midnight grabbed some of her stuff in a saddle bag and flew out her window with Mittens in her other side of her bag. She got out a window and saw were she wanted to go and made a V line to Ponyville.

Midnight flew for about 10 minuets after landed at a normal house. She landed and went over and knocked on the door and waited. The door opened and stood before her a grey mare with a gold main and crossed adorable eyes stood before her. "Hi, Aunt Derpy....can I talk to you I know it's late out but I could really use a friend..." Midnight put her head down with tears in her eyes.

Derpy smiled and lifted her head. "Of course you can, my dear. Come in I'll make you some tea and get you a muffin." Derpy moved out of the way to let her in. Midnight politely wiped her hooves before entering and sitting down on Derpy's couch. Derpy kept her word and brought some lemon tea and a lemon muffin since lemon was Midnight's favorite flavor. "So, Midnight what's troubling you?"

Midnight lowered her head looking down at her tea and sees how much she has really been crying in her reflection. Her cheeks were tear-stained and her hair was covered in dry tears making her braids look messy and sniffled a bit feeling Mittens jump up and comfort her. "Well, Aunt Derpy, I just feel like my parents don't understand me.....today my mom said that my stall isn't appealing to other ponies."

Derpy looked at her muffin and thought for a moment. "Are you sure that's what she really said, it sounds like she was unhappy that you got a tattoo on your shoulder." Derpy put her hoof on the tattoo.

Midnight thought for a moment and looked in a mirror at it. "What's so bad about it? though I think its pretty."

"Well, you might think that, and your mom might think that, but sometimes companies don't hire ponies with tattoos because they show immaturity and sometimes are gang related." Derpy got some more muffins from the kitchen and set them on the table and looked at Midnight.

"I guess I didn't think about that...." Midnight looked in the mirror and started crying.

Derpy walked over to her and put her hoof on her back. "Your parents love you, Midnight they only want what's best for you. your mother is still very young and learning how to be a mom even though its been 17 years. Your father was so clueless that when you were born he fainted when he saw you all covered in blood he thought you were well dead".

Midnight hugged her aunt tight, clinging to her. "Thank you Aunt Derpy, I feel better."

They both hear a knock on the door and they both see Rainbow Dash and Soarin rush in. "DERPY, IS MIDNIGHT H-", Rainbow stopped mid-sentence seeing, her daughter and quicker than they could see she goes and holds her crying. "Oh my god, Midnight me and your father were so worried about you." Soarin joined their hug. Comforting his wife and daughter.

"I know, I'm sorry mom..I'm going to get this tattoo removed....I kind of forget that you guy's love me for awhile". Midnight hugs her mom.

"Sweetie, you have no idea how much that means to us," Rainbow hugged her daughter. "How about we go home."

Midnight nodded and she walked to her saddle bag and Mittens jumps in it and she puts it on. "Again, thank you so much Aunt Derpy."
Derpy smiles and watches as her guests leave happily, going home for a night well spent.
