Twilight Sparkle has always endured the pain in silence. Insults, humiliation, betrayal—nothing seemed to break her. Until one day, she disappears. When she returns, she is no longer the same. Her eyes are hollow, her heart is cold.

Twilight Sparkle has always tried to stay in the shadows, ignoring the daily insults and humiliations. But when the bullies of Canterlot High cross the line, her life turns into a nightmare. No place is safe. No one seems to notice what’s happening.

Until the day everything changes.

When Twilight reappears after an event that should have broken her, she is no longer the same. Her eyes are hollow, her smile is gone, and darkness surrounds her.

Midnight Sparkle is born.

And this time, she won’t be the one afraid.

Chapter 1

DRIIIIIN DRIIIIIN

You set the alarm. Actually I had already been awake for quite a while. I went ahead with the lessons, so I would have the weekend free and I could devote myself to my greatest passion: EXPERIMENTS.

I loved science, and everything related to it. My peers spend their free time having fun' going to a lot of parties and other miscellaneous nonsense.

But I was different from them.

I was never interested in going to parties, and having the so-called 'experiences of alcohol, joints, sex and drugs'.

Theirs was a way to feel cool, but actually that was anything but cool.

I was nicknamed by everyone 'unsocial nerd'.

The offenses were never lacking. They were on the agenda.

But I didn't give him importance.

Or at least I was trying.

Immersing myself in the study helped me a lot not to think.

In particular, I loved scientific subjects. They were a good workout.

They helped me keep my mind occupied.

Today is my last first day.

I had to resist. A few months and I would have been out of there.

And then I would go to the college where I would make my dreams come true.

“Twily I'm sorry to interrupt the flow of your thoughts, but I recommend you start starting. Or you'll be late.”

I jolted. “What?! No no no, I can't be late on the first day! Thank you for letting me know, Mom. And thank you for making me a snack!” I said running towards the exit.

“You're welcome! Please have fun!”

My mother didn't know anything about what I underwent every year. Actually no one in my family knew.

I didn't want to worry them unnecessarily. And then I was able to manage it.

I am sure that this year will be different from the other years.

I feel it.

I arrived at the stop. Luckily I had arrived on time.

In addition to me, there were two other girls from my school. I had seen them a few times. We probably went to different classes.

As usual they didn't give me a look or a word.

Not that I cared. I had a much more to think about instead of this nonsense.

The arrival of the bus interrupted my thoughts. She went up and I sat down in the third row.

As usual it was overflowing. There was an absurd chatter!

How much I hated confusion! It gave me a headache!

I looked at the watch on my wrist and counted the minutes that were missing on arrival.

15 minutes

It wasn't long. I closed my eyes and waited patiently for the bus to stop.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

I took my backpack and got off the bus.

You will be the Canterlot High. She was beautiful.

Apart from the subjects who were there. They ruined the whole context. They had nothing to do with that place at all.

Suddenly I felt a loud mael.

They were my classmates: Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Sunset Shimmer.

Last year they were suspended after they combined one of their own.

They had risked burning down the entire school, to make a teacher pay for it.

At our school they had never taken serious action until then. Not even when they had filled the locks with glue.

I looked elsewhere. I saw that she had gotten out of a super luxurious Rarity car.

She's a beautiful girl, but inside she's empty. She is a superficial, selfish girl. For her, a Gucci bag counts more than a person. Fashion first and foremost.

I remember when her younger sister Sweetie Belle wanted her to take part in Sisters Day with her. Only this was about the mud.

Rarity refused. . Despite his sister's sadness. She said that she would never dirty her beloved clothes, and that it meant nothing to her that she was her sister.

Immediately she was joined by her “friends”: Sunny Flare and Fleur de Lis.

They formed a really nice trio: A trio of brainless geese.

Rude, self-centered, vain.

They thought they were the 'VIPs' of the entire institution.

They had exchanged the outside of the school for a photo set, dedicated exclusively to them.

Woe to those who approached!

Once it had just started to rain and Rarity followed by her “friends” ran out of school because she couldn't miss such an opportunity!

Sunny Flare and Fleur de Lis began taking a series of photos of her in the rain, despite the protests of our teacher, who exasperatedly put a note on them.

Not that they cared.

For them, followers and success mattered.

Rarity was followed by 500 thousand people. Every day he published posts and reels.

Instagram was his life.

And nothing mattered more than that.

Suddenly the bell rang. The time had come to enter and gather us all in the atrium to listen to the early school year speech of the Principal Celestia.

"Dear student*,

Today is a very important day. It's the first day of a new school year. I am excited to see new and old faces in this community.

I believe that the success of our school is not only the work of the teachers and staff, but also the responsibility of the students.

I am here to help you get the best out of yourself. School is your home for the next few years, and I want it to be a place where you can grow, learn and have fun.

I would like to stress that our goal is not only to develop your knowledge or to prepare you for the labour market, but also to help you become better people.

I would also like to draw your attention to the importance of inclusion, diversity and respect for the rights of others. We are a community based on understanding, cooperation and mutual support.

But, above all, today is a new beginning. A start full of possibilities. A start to discover the world, to grow as a person and to become the person you want to be.

Good luck to all of you on the new school year!"

As soon as the principal finished speaking, a loud applause broke out. Obviously many of them pretended to be interested in her.

Many took advantage of her kindness and great heart, only to achieve their own goals.

You could count on a whole hand the people who really cared about her. And I was obviously among them.

I have always admired Celestia. I wish I had your confidence and patience.

“Have you finished drooling?”

I gasped. It was Fluttershy. The most unpleasant and cruel girl I've ever met.

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

Fluttershy laughed.

“Stop lying, you look even more stupid. Tell the truth. You have a crush on the principal, don't you?”

“What? How can you say such a thing?!” I said almost screaming

“Ahahahahah! You're not only an unsociable nerd, but you're also a lesbian! Ahahahahah! And on top of that you are attracted to milfs! Ahahahahah!”

“No! This is not the case at all. I only feel esteem for him unlike you and someone else. I'll stop here, it's useless to talk to a cruel person like you!" I made it to get away but Fluttershy grabbed my wrist and looked at me with her icy teal eyes

“You'd better turn down the tone with me, nerd. If you don't want the whole school to know that you're a shitty antisocial nerd lesbian. Try to talk to me this way again and I'll make your life impossible" having said that he walked away and went to bother a first year student.

I closed my eyes and sighed. I wanted that day to end as soon as possible.

The first two hours went by quickly, at least for me. I checked the agenda and saw what the next lesson would be:

English literature, classroom 7

I reached the classroom and sat in the front row. I had been the first to arrive, as the others had stopped at the machines or in the bathrooms to smoke.

I started to get the book and the notebook, and waited patiently for the arrival of prof.

And even this hour passed quickly. Our teacher had briefly explained to us what the program would be this year or: 'Contemporary literature' and then asked us to tell in English how the summer holidays went.

And finally it was time to go home.

For this week the lessons would last until 11 a.m.

I decided to go home on foot and on the way I ate the sandwich my mother had prepared.

And so the first day went ☑️

All in all it went well, leaving out Fluttershy's threats.

Let's hope that tomorrow will be even better.

I got home. My parents weren't there. They were at work. So I decided to take a shower and read a science fiction book.

Then I heated up the lunch my mother had left me: chicken soup with vegetables.

After lunch I decided to prepare the backpack for the next day, and to continue reading the book.

I was almost there until I had a call.

It was Cadence, the wife of my brother Shining Armor. We had always had a good relationship. Also she had been my babysitter, so we've known each other for a lifetime.

I answered the call

Hey Cadence!

Hi Twilight. How was the first day?

Good. Very good. We didn't do much actually. You know how it is...

I remember well. In fact, I loved the first few weeks of school. My friends and I had a lot of fun.

Wow it must have been beautiful. But why did you call me? Did something happen?

No, don't worry, it's all right. I wanted to ask you if you would like to come to the mall with me tomorrow after school. What do you think?

Cadence you know I hate shopping... but I could make an exception for you. But only for this time.

Yes, you won't regret it. So tomorrow I'll pick you up at the exit. Hellooo

See you tomorrow.

I closed the phone call and stared at the ceiling.

I loved spending time with Cadence. Also she was like an older sister to me. The only one I trusted besides my parents and my brother.

I hadn't even told her what I had suffered and I was still undergoing in school. I didn't want him to feel sorry for me.

I closed my eyes. A good night's sleep would have been good for me. But first I decided to turn off my cell phone, to prevent someone from interrupting my sleep.

6:00 pm
I had slept for 2 hours. I felt regenerated. I got out of bed and then decided to take a shower and go to the garage and devote myself to experiments.

After drying and getting dressed, I turned on my cell phone and found an infinite number of messages.

Group chat

“The Last Year of Glory”

300 messages

Twilight opened her eyes wide. How did they add her if she had never given her number to anyone?

Who could have been?

Meanwhile, the cell phone continued to receive notifications. Twilight read a few messages.

She saw that the group had been created by Rainbow Dash.

She started reading the first messages

“What is this group?” ∼Applejack

“Where am I?” ∼Pinkie Pie

“Who dared to put me in this nullity group?” ∼Rarity

“She said nothingness in himself. 😂” ∼Fluttershy

“How dare you call me? Your mother is a cursed nothingness !" ∼Rarity

“Shut up fake VIP. It must be nice to afford everything thanks to your daddy's money, isn't it? Why don't you use that money to fix your face, it's unwatchable! Ahahahah” ∼Fluttershy

“You're just envious of my success and my beauty. Because neither you nor anyone else can ever live up to me.” ∼Rarity

“I don't need to be up to you, because unlike you I don't need to be surrounded by a pack of chickens who follow me everywhere like little dogs. Do you know why you are so followed? Because they don't care about you, but about your fame” ∼Fluttershy

“Ahahahahah! And do you think they can ever be more famous than me? But have you seen them, darling? Without me they are nothing.” ∼Rarity

“Stop acting like two little girls! You broke up!” ~Sunset Shimmer

“Don't intrude! She started it!” ~Rarity

“You actually did it all by yourself! Ahahahah 😂😂😂” ~Fluttershy

“STOP! SHUT UP! I'M TIRED OF HEARING MY CELL PHONE RING EVERY SECOND!” ~Pinkie Pie

“What if I didn't want to? What are you going to do? Will you kill me with your gaze? Ahahahah” ~Fluttershy

“🤬🤬🤬” ~Pinkie Pie

“You really are immature girls! AHAHAH!” ~Applejack

“Yeah! Have you already forgotten Principal Celestia's speech? PEACE AND LOVE 🦄🦄🦄” ~Sunset Shimmer

“How pathetic!" ~Applejack

“Sometimes I wonder if she does it or there is” ~Rainbow Dash

“She's really a stoned! Worse than my grandmother 😂"~Applejack

“But there is one good thing. Last year it was enough for us to make a beaten dog face not to be expelled 😂🤣" ~Rainbow Dash

“Ahahahahah true” ~Sunset Shimmer

“How could you risk doing such a thing? You almost bled up my collection!” ~Rarity

“Oh what a tragedy! 😈” ~Applejack

“And what do I care about your stupid collection?” ~Rainbow Dash

“Get off the brat pedestal! Here we command!” ~Sunset Shimmer

“You are just stylingless nothingness! Poor! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!” ~Rarity

“Um... sorry for the interruption but what is the purpose of this group exactly?" ~Lyra

“Finally someone says something useful! Then the neurons work for you!” ~Fluttershy

“Leave her alone Cruella!” ~Bon Bon

“Oh, that's so cute! The little girlfriend who defends her beloved! Ahahahahahahahah!” ~Fluttershy

“This group was created as a pastime and for homework. I'm too busy with workouts to think about these nerdy stuff” ∼Rainbow Dash

“Foreve to have my help.” ∼Applejack

“So this is a convenience group? Did I get it right??" ∼Lyra

How did you get my number?

“😳” ∼Fluttershy

“Don't you remember? It was you who gave it to us! 😂” ∼Applejack

“Unscrewed 😂” ∼Rainbow Dash

I never gave you my number

“AHAHAHAHAHAH” ∼Sunset Shimmer

“Mystery... Maybe it was the ghost of Canterlot High 👻” ∼Applejack

“Uhhh that's scary! 🤣🤣🤣” ∼Fluttershy

“Or it must have been a hacker 😏” ∼Sunset Shimmer

“Oh no! What a tragedy! Come on Twilight run to warn Celestia! ☠️” ∼Fluttershy

“Is it gone?” ∼Rainbow Dash

“She’s going to be doing it underneath! 🤣” ∼Sunset Shimmer

“Ahahahah” ∼Rainbow Dash

I threw my cell phone on the bed. It's not possible! This summer I changed the number to prevent all this from happening again!

It must be a nightmare! It can't be true!

Think Twilight, think!

Who could it have been?

I had only given my new number to my family. I hadn't even communicated it to the school secretariat.

I have to find out who it was!

With everything that had happened I decided not to go to the garage anymore, and I tried to figure out who could be behind all this.
