Moonlight Grace may look like a normal pony, but she is anything but normal. She has autism and ADHD. These problems have gotten her into trouble on a daily basis her whole life. They are behavioral disorders that cause her to freak out and do some crazy things. However, she was getting better at controlling herself. She was slowly working up to the point where she would behave and be treated like all the other students, with all her friends, family, and most of all, her fourth grade teacher, to support her.

When Moonlight and Sugar Rush got home, they were greeted by their mother. She was a short, chubby woman with a dark blue coat and a pink mane matching Moon's. The two children ran up to give their mother a huge hug. She tried to get air but failed and let them hug her. When the kids finally let go, a grey cat with a short tail walked up, clearly happy to see them. Moonlight ran up to pet the cat and he purred. When she finished petting him, Sugar Rush put his hoof forward to pet the him but the cat pulled away. Sugar Rush grumbled and Moonlight continued petting her kitty.

"So, how was school?" The mother asked.

"Miss Illusion was really mean!" Sugar Rush immediately said.

"Oh? How so?"

Sugar Rush went on to explain how his teacher was, quote on quote, mean, while Moonlight went to her room. Inside, it was a disaster. There were clothes piled up, covering every inch of the floor but the doorway and reaching up to about a foot and a half high. There were other miscellaneous objects here and there; some toys, some garbage, and some random items found around her house she felt like keeping. It was a huge mess, not to mention a fire hazard, yet she somehow lived there without a problem.

Moon looked around her room. She hesitated and walked out, realizing she wasn't in the mood to play by herself with her toys. She opened the door and went across the road to the house of her best friend, Rosabelle Trend. She knocked on the door a couple times, and soon an elderly red mare with an orange mane answered. Within seconds, the same smaller pony she saw at school came running.

"Hi, Moon!" She certainly seemed a lot happier to see her friend than before. The filly stepped outside and they immediately started talking. The reason why she was ignoring Moonlight at school was because she was embarrassed to be around her. It sounds mean, but at that time Rose cared a lot more about what other people thought of her, and Moon didn't usually mind because she knew Rose was younger than her and still learning about how friendship works.

"Hey Rose, We should totally play dolls again today!" She beamed once more. "Do you wanna do that?"

"Actually, let's take a walk instead." Rose answered. Moon smiled at the thought. They would get to see what happens around the neighborhood and talk the whole time, and anything with talking will capture Moonlight's interest.

"Sure! Let's go!" The two fillies trotted off. Everything was perfect. Life was perfect, friends were perfect, family was perfect... Moonlight's life could not get any better, and it certainly couldn't get any worse, right?
