His mother had forced him of all ponies to be out on a day like this... Miserable it was, the sun was beating down on the path ahead, the trees provided little to no protection from the harsh light of the day. He could have taken the train, but all of those ponies? No fucking thank you. He wouldn't be caught dead in a train... all stuffy and a pony could bump into you? He'd rather not. Then his thoughts are brought back to the blinding sunlight and why exactly he went anywhere today. His mother, Princess Luna, thought of the perfect idea of him going to stay with his dear old aunty Twilight Sparkle and her little daughter, Plasm Bolt. All he could think about are all the great opportunities to be a baby sitter. Is that the only reason he is going to be there? So Twilight can fuck around? Well he guesses it can't be too horribly bad... there is a decent sized library he could spend most of his time in. The little brat can't be too bad, she is a princess after all and she should have enough training not to be a nuisance.

"Oh! Your new! You look interesting! Why is your horn curved? Is it always like that?" His thoughts are interrupted with an annoyingly excited and high toned voice... When he looks up at the pony he sees a wide grin and poofs of strawberry blond curls of hair. Her icy blue eyes stood out from her light pink coat. She is right in front of him, almost touching muzzles with him. He instinctively takes a step back, and she takes one forward. "Your coat is so cool looking! I haven't seen anyone with coat patterns like this except Princess Luna! Oh wait you must be Darkest Night!", she shouted and shook his hoof almost violently, "Oh Plasm Bolt told me all about you! I didn't know you where coming today! Or.. wait maybe I did and I just forgot... Well! I remember now! I'll see you soon!". With that she runs off towards Ponyville.

"Ok, damn", he says as he wipes his muzzle with his hoof... just in case. He watches her run to Ponyville in the distance... Then he wonders how she got there that fast... He doesn't think much of it, he just keeps walking. When he reaches town a few ponies wave at him and he just.. looks the other way, ignoring them the best he can, he doesn't want to talk to more ponies necessary to get though these three months he has to spend here. At least the awnings on these buildings can keep him out of the sunlight burning his dark coat. He then passes by a small group of ponies talking...

"I heard Luna's son is coming, I hope he doesn't intend on trying to live here...", a tall pinkish unicorn said. His use to talk like this by now... Having King Sombra as a father can do wonderful things for your public image, but then again why should he care? He is royalty and they are simply not, he gets to make the rules and they get to abide by them. He is better then them and that's all he needs to know. But he did quite enjoy the little surprise that mare got when he used his magic to change her hair into a pile of snakes and all of the screaming that ensued because of it. Yes, he could have let it go, but might as well keep his wonderful public image up hm?

He then gets to Princess Twilights doors... He simply walks right in, his magic hangs up his cloak on the coat rack as he walks in and takes in the sights. He quite enjoys her castle, all of the crystals remind him of the crystal empire, the place he would really rather be at a time like this. Maybe his love for the empire is... in his blood. When Twilight hears the metal on crystal from his hooves she walks out to the foyer.

"Hello Night!", she announced with her ever cheerful tone. She didn't look that different from when he saw her many years ago, light violet coat with dark blueish purple hair in a bun, with a single stripe of purple and pink running along it. "I am so glad you decided to come, I missed you so much", she says as she wraps her hooves around him and hugs him tight. This made Night visibly tense so she moved away "Oh, I'm sorry.. I uh forgot...", she says meekly. Of course she forgot, he is unmemorable, his surprised anyone remembers him at this point, never attending events or parties. He isn't surprised yet he tries to remain polite with family.

"Of course, it's not that big of a problem Aunt Twilight", he said in his usual monotone, expression flat and seemingly uninterested. Twilight seemed to notice his displeasure and just showed him to his room with no words between them, the silence is quite uncomfortable for Twilight.

"Uh.. can I get you anything before you turn in? Or do you not sleep during the day like Luna?" She says quietly, trying to figure out how to assess the situation.

"Leaving me alone will be quite enough. I do go to sleep at night like most ponies but I would prefer if I wasn't bothered.", he states flatly as he turns his flank to her and shuts the door behind him.

"Ah.. Of course...", her expression turns into one of sadness as she turns and trots down the steps.

Night looks around his room and finds that it is... acceptable for him. He looks out the window and he has a full view of Apple Acres, he thinks to himself it isn't the worst view in the world. At least he can look at a bunch of trees rather then be looked at by a bunch of ponies. He watches the trees and clouds for a while then a pony walks out of the house in Apple Acres...
