Down in Rainbow Falls, bells could be heard around town, followed by the sound of small, fast hoofsteps. It was the sound of schools closing for the afternoon. This was no exception for Rainbow Lakes elementary school. One of the children, a skinny, neon colored, bright blue unicorn with a messy pink mane and yellow streaks, was saying goodbye to her teacher. Her teacher was dark gold with bronze, slightly curly hair in a pixie cut. As they finished, the filly pulled on her saddlebag and skipped off. Her smile and happy gallop was enough to make any random pony think she was just a normal girl.

The small pony hopped around excitedly. Ponies called her name left and right and every time she responded with a wave of her hoof and a smile.

"Hi Moonlight!"

"Hey, Moon!"

"Hi, Miss Moon!" She always giggled at her nickname the teachers gave her. She may not have been the only one with a nickname like that, but she liked it.

She waved at a magenta filly, much smaller than her, when she passed the portable classrooms. "Hi Rose!" She beamed. The younger filly just looked away and ignored her. She was perfectly fine with this, though, and kept smiling. She was on a dirt road lining the school. When she got to the corner, an adult orange pony was waiting.

"Hello, Miss Moon! How are you doing?"

"Good, thanks!" She smiled as she continued walking, crossing the intersection on the road. She quickly spotted a green colt with a short gold mane, a similar color as her mane streaks and eyes. He was also skinny, and was shorter than her, indicating that he was younger. She smiled.

"Hey Sugar Rush!" She galloped to see her little brother.

"Hi, Moon." The colt spoke with less enthusiasm than his older sister. He was a lot less energetic than her usually, but he was also known to get a bit silly at times. The two siblings walked home together and soon were no longer in sight.

She was just a normal kid, right? Right?

Author's Note

Moon is based off of me in fourth grade in this story. She's pretty much just me as a pony, even down to the OC I drew for MYSELF This is only going to be small, since it's only a prequel to the real story I hope to tell. The main story will be less based off of my life and more based off of a fun fantasy and it will be much more interesting. I really do love writing slice of life stuff though, so I plan to have most, if not all the stories I write have at least a little of that.
