1. The beginning

It was an ordinary morning for 'the children’s safety and healthcare orphanage' which is a place where fillies and colts often wait for adults to come and visit them and maybe say goodbye to the orphanage.

“Night Shadow! Get your lazy body down here!!” Could be heard from the kitchen, five minutes later a purple pegasus with black hair and blue stripes comes down, his hair was messy and he looked tired.

The purple pegasus was the oldest of the kids, and he had stayed at the orphanage since the age of 4, the Pegasus walks into the kitchen to help the elders with cooking breakfast for around forty kids.

Night Shadow and the chef's finishes up and starts to put on the tables where all the fillies and colts have been waiting for breakfast, everyone starts to eat as Night Shadow grabbed an apple and ate that while walking up the stairs to go to his own room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After showering, Night Shadow went outside and put on his wagon, he started walking towards the train station but soon realized he was about to be late if he misses the train he’ll have to wait long before he can take the other, Night Shadow starts to run as fast as he could and eventually caught on.

Night Shadow walks inside the train station, he didn't take the wagon off as it was always a both to put it back on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After some hours the train ends at its destination ”stop: Ponyville” The pony who drives the train tells everyone, some creatures walk out of the train as some enters.

Night Shadow walks outside with his wagon, he starts to walk towards the boutique Rarity takes care of, Night Shadow walks inside and Rarity greets him warmly

”it was a pink dress for a little girl, right Night Shadow?” Rarity asks the pegasus and he nods

”yes thank you, it must be stressful to make a dress for her every month” Night Shadow says with a chuckle and puts the dress down in the wagon

”oh well, I'll be on my way now, have a nice day Rarity” Night Shadow says before he walks out if the boutique.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow stays in ponyville for hours, every time he checks the time he always sees that he missed the train, it's like something is telling him to not go home, he doesn't mind Ponyville but when you've been living in a rich city like Canterlot, you tend to see a few flaws on some of the cities, but then again, Ponyville was made by earth ponies or that's at least what Night Shadow was told.

He goes and finds a place near a playground to sit, to rest his hooves a bit, he's been walking around the town for hours. Night Shadow hears the fillies and colts play around him as he thinks back to his childhood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow sits down by himself at the stairs to the entrance of the school and looks out to the others, they were all playing and being with their friends.

At this time Night Shadow was the quiet and shy kid, a lot was going through the kids head, where did he come from? Where are his parents and who is he? The only thing he knows is that he is just a pony.

Night Shadow looks down at the dirt and starts to draw a few things, some kids walk over to Night Shadow and stepped on his drawings,

“Hello Night Shadow, sorry for stepping on your drawings, but they were too ugly to exist” A colt says and starts to laugh at Night Shadow, The bell rings and they all walk inside the class, Night Shadow stands up and walks in as well

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow was deep in thought until someone snaps him out of it

”Wha- Hello?” Night Shadow was confused as a stranger was standing in front of him, ”do you know where I can find The Sugar Corner?” the stranger asks and Night Shadow nods and he stands up

”ill follow you over there, I need something for myself anyway” Night Shadow says with a smile, Night Shadow was always happy to help. Night Shadow walks the stranger over to The Sugarcube Corner

”Here it is” Night Shadow says with a smile as he walks inside, the hooded pony follows Night Shadow inside the Sugarcube Corner. The hooded figure looks at all the sweets and picks what they want and tells Mrs. Cake, Mrs. Cake grabs the sweets and gives the pony a little bag.

Night Shadow grabs an order and put it in the wagon, he had ordered a cake for the orphanage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow and the hooded figure walks out of Sugarcube Corner, once they got the hooded figure runs off saying nothing, Night Shadow sighs as he was hoping to get a thank for helping the hooded figure with finding the Sugarcube Corner.

Night Shadow shrugs it off and starts to walk towards the train, while waiting for the train to arrive.

Night Shadow sees the forest next to Ponyville, he looks around and took off his wagon, he had a blanket with him in case it would rain a little, he grabbed the blanket and put it over the wagon covering dresses, the bog box that the cake was in, and some groceries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow arrives at the forest and looks in, he decides to walk inside the forest to look around, he's been wondering for a long time what was in this forest, there aren't many forests in Canterlot and he had some time before the train would arrive.

Night shadow walks inside and after he was long enough in he starts to smell something horrible, he looks around and sees Timberwolves behind him, Night Shadow starts to run as the Timberwolves starts to run after him.

He runs off the trail and longer into the forest, Night Shadow looks behind him to see where they could be and they were getting closer while looking away Night Shadow runs into another pony, he looks up and sees it's the hooded figure, the hooded figure looks up and sees the Timberwolves,.

they stand up and teleports them and Night Shadow into a ruined castle, night Shadow stands up

”where are we?” Night Shadow asks and looks around, a few of furniture had been moved into the castle,

”the castle of the two sisters or rather, my home” The hooded figure says, they take off the hood and shows their face. Night Shadow's eyes widen as he looks at the grey unicorn with a curved horn, her hair wavey and her eyes were red in the top and blue in the bottom, her sclera wasn't white but green with purple smoke coming out.

2. The meeting

Night shadow's eyes and jaw were open, he has seen a lot of ponies but something about this new one seemed interesting.

“What? What are you staring at?” The female pony asks staring back at Night Shadow.

“Oh Uhm, nothing... sorry,” he says and looks down being embarrassed, he never really looked at Ponies that way, he was fascinated by her.

“so Uhm... what’s your name?” Night Shadow asks as the female starts to get some food together.

“My name is Crystal Night,” the pony says “got any fruits you like more than other fruits?” The pony asks and turns around, she offers Night Shadow some fruits and he grabs an apple.

“I like apples,” Night Shadow says and starts to eat the apple “so, you think I can maybe stay over for this one night?” Night Shadow asks a little nervous.

Crystal Night looks over at Night Shadow “that is random, we don’t really know anything about each other, for all I know you could be dangerous and kill me in the night” Crystal Night says and puts the bowl of fruits on a table that could collapse at any minute if there were too much on it.

Night Shadow walks over and sits down on a couch “don’t worry, I won’t kill you, you have a horn anyway so you can defend yourself easier than me” Night Shadow says with a smiles.

The unicorn looks at Night Shadow and sighs “for one night!” She says annoyed. Night Shadow nods “so, any blankets? What about a pillow?” he asks with a smile.

Crystal Night sighs “I only have one blanket and one pillow, for my self!” She says and walks over to the bed “I’m tired so I’m heading to bed now so keep quiet or you’ll sleep outside!” Crystal night says almost yelling. Crystal night walks over to her small bed, she has turned her back to Night Shadow.

Night Shadow looks around the broken castle before heading to bed himself, the couch was cracked into half and the pillows were broken, it was the worst couch he has ever been in, Night Shadow kinda wanted to talk but kept quiet because he didn't want to annoy the female unicorn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night Shadow wakes up in the middle of the night by the light of the sky, he opens his eyes and sees the door to the castle open, he kinda panics: what if Timberwolves are inside, what is they are behind him right now! he turns around to find no one. Night Shadow gets up and goes to close the door, he notices that Crystal night are outside, he walks up to her and sits down.

"what are you doing?" Night Shadow asks and looks up at the sky, he sees that Crystal Night is doing something with the night, it was almost like seeing the northern night. No, it is the northern light.

"I'm making the night beautiful for whoever sees it..." Crystal night says calmly, it's almost like she has calmed down and maybe also forgiven.

"It's beautiful. I never noticed, by the time dinner is being served, I'm half asleep" Night Shadow says as he keeps looking up "I should get out here more in the evening" Night Shadow says and looks over at Crystal Night with a smile.

Crystal Night looks at Night Shadow but turns her head once he looks at her "its alright... no one rarely looks at my northern lights..." Crystal night says and lays down "ill sleep out here tonight," she says and closes her eyes.

Night Shadow lays down next to Crystal Night "I'll join you" he says with a smile "I wanna see more of this beautiful night" Night Shadow says with a smile and looks up at the beautiful night sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crystal Night wakes up and was shocked to find herself snuggling into Night Shadow, her eyes widen and her face blushed. Crystal Night stands up quickly and walks inside the castle again to start making breakfast.

Crystal Night finishes the breakfast and walks out of the castle and out to Night Shadow. Night Shadow was still asleep when Crystal Night came back, she gently shakes him to wake him but it doesn't work, Crystal Night sighs and then kicks the sleeping stallion.

"Wake up sleepyhead!" Crystal Night yells and Night Shadow jolts up by the sudden kick and yelling, he sits up "is something wrong?" Night Shadow asks sounding worried.

"No idiot, I made breakfast," she says and levitates a plate of egg and hay in front of Night Shadow and he grabs the plate, Night Shadow starts to eat his breakfast.

"Mmm, this is delicious!" Night shadow says and stuffs it all inside his mouth. Crystal Night chuckles at Night Shadows reaction and starts to eat her own food, she has never had anyone telling her if her food was good, she only makes for herself most of the time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crystal Night stands by the sink as she cleans the dishes and humming to herself, Nigth shadow walks up to her.

"How did you get some of these things working, like the fridge?" Night Shadow asks and looks around at all the furniture.

"well, I'm a Unicorn so my magic keeps it running," Crystal Night says and finish cleaning the dishes, she levitates all the dishes back to their places, Crystal Night looks up at the sky to see what the time is "if you wanna get out of this forest alive, you should go now," Crystal Night says and looks at Night Shadow.

Night Shadow sighs "do I really have to go?" Night Shadow says and sits down on the couch but stands up quickly when he hears a sound coming from the couch "you seriously need to get a new couch tho" Night Shadow says "well... I guess this is goodbye then" Night Shadow says with a soft smile.

Crystal Night follows Night Shadow over to the door "You'll probably see me again, ill be in my cloak" Crystal Night says chuckling "oh. I'm sorry but I'm bad with names, what was it again?" Crystal Night asks and Night Shadow looks at her with a smile.

"I'm Night Shadow," he says before walking off "Be careful!" he says and runs into the forest and out on the other side. He quickly ran to the train station and got his wagon, he took the train home, and once he came home, the whole orphanage ran towards him and tackled him to the ground, the adults came up to Night Shadow "you have a lot of explaining to do young man!" they said sounding annoyed.
