Not all of us are monsters. Changeling of two lands.

Twilight said that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight. I grabbed all my stuff and put a couple of books in my saddlebag.

“Ok Spike, punch, cookies, fruit, parchment, quills, ink pots, and binoculars. Have you got them all Spike?” Twilight asked the small purple dragon, “Oh- almost forgot! Get that astronomy book ok.”

Soon a small, deep box was filled with the things. I made sure my disguise was up and running and I told Twilight to see if there were any flaws in it.

“Yup, it’s perfect.” Twilight said quickly, “You’re almost as anxious as me when it comes to getting ready!”

I put on a deep yellow cape and yellow-gold hoof-protectors. We then left the library and trotted down the dirt paths, lit up by lanterns. Soon, Applejack was with us.

“Howdy, Twilight!” Applejack called, cheerily, “How’s it goin’ Blackfire!”

I felt safer now that Applejack was beside me on my left and Twilight on my right. We walked silently along the roads until Fluttershy joined us.

“Hello, girls, how is it going, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy in her kind tone.

“Oh, it’s been awesome.” Twilight replied.

“Not as awesome… as me!” a voice bust in, then a rainbow shot past and landed next to us.

“Hi, Rainbow!”  I said trying not to annoy her, “can’t wait till’ the meteor shower!”

“Me neither!” Rainbowdash replied excitedly.

We walked silently again, but the soft flapping of Rainbow’s and Fluttershy’s wings were the only thing that we could hear. Suddenly a hopping cut in, and made us all jump.

“Hey girls!” spoke Pinkie cheerfully.

Now the sound of quiet hopping was added to the sound of trotting and flapping. We walked down the dimly-lit roads and soon approached the hill, when a voice called behind us and we stopped momentarily.

“Hello ladies, and might I say, what a gorgeous evening it is for a meteor shower!” Rarity admired.

We soon heard some talking as we went further up the hill, and it increased in volume the further up we went. Soon we emerged at the top and it was heavily lit by candles. Here was a small podium, where Mayor Mare stood.

“Citizens of Ponyville!” she shouted over the excited chatting, “I would like to welcome you to the annual meteor shower of the beginning of summer!”

Excited shouts and calls leapt into the air, but were instantly silenced by a boom, then all the candled went out suddenly.

Sparkles rained down from the tops of the sky, and soon a comet came across the sky, lighting it up like fireworks, only silenced. More and more comets followed shortly behind, of all shapes, sizes and colours. Suddenly a dazzling light green one shot down the sky, but didn’t stop were the others stopped and faded. I told Twilight to give me a far-seeing spell to see it. I narrowed my eyes to make it cleared, and I nearly fell over with what I saw. A Changeling! I saw its icy-blue eyes stare down at a target and then closed its eyes and shot down even faster.

“What’s wrong, sugar cube?” asked Applejack in a shallow whisper.

I watched in horror as the green blur shot down the sky and disappeared onto the ground. Soon a whole fleet of the green rockets shot down the sky and hit the ground and a distant rumble was heard. Soon the golden flurries disappeared and only the green blurs were left. The ponies still ‘oooh’ed and ‘aaah’ed in awe as the green rockets finally stopped.

When we went back to the library, I couldn’t sleep; I was anxious and kept shooting around the library. I went to reading my book, to hiding under my cover, then to circling the ceiling. When I was cowering under my cover, Twilight drew back the cover from over my head and soothed me.

“It’s ok; nothing bad is going to happen…” Twilight soothed, “what’s got you in a fix, anyway.”

I sat there, silent for a few more moments, then there was heavy banging on the door. When Twilight went to see who it was, I drew the cover over my head again. Twilight soon returned, with a newspaper surrounded in her aura placed in front of me. I sent my disguise away a I took it. I lifted it up with my red magic and read it.

‘Equestria Daily.

Top story; Hoofington attacked by Changelings!

Reporter Sugar told us “The destruction was huge, but there is no sign of blood or ponies”.’

I couldn’t bring myself to read the rest. I put my arms around my pillow and it tightly and didn’t let go for a while. I only let go when sleep covered me like a big thick blanket.

I woke early in the morning, but I couldn’t be bothered to get up. I kept the covers over my head and I was concealed under them. My eyes shot open, as a familiar voice, and a non-familiar voice entered.

“Ok, Lightning Dust, I’m going to show you something but you seriously can’t tell anypony, ok!” I heard Rainbowdash’s voice.

“Ok, ok, you told me like 50 times already!” spoke the new voice.

I heard the hoof-steps come this way, so I put up my disguise, and acted like I was asleep. I did it just in the nick of time. Rainbowdash drew back my cover, reviling me.

“Um, Rainbow, it’s a sleeping Pegasus…” spoke the pony named ‘Lightning Dust’.

“What the!” Rainbow said angrily.

“You told me this was a changeling, doesn’t look very green and evil to me!” hissed the turquois pony.

“This is the changeling!” hissed Rainbow back, but it was too late for her, Lightning Dust slammed the door behind her as she left.

“You stupid little-”Rainbow began, but was interrupted.

“What do you think you’re doing Rainbowdash!?”  Twilight hissed so violently, it made Rainbowdash jump.

“Oh- I was... um…” Rainbow stammered.

“Trying to spread the word about Blackfire?!” Twilight finished the sentence for her, “Rainbowdash, out, now!”

Rainbowdash flew out with her head low.

“Sorry, Rainbow has been acting rather oddly.” Twilight reassured me as I sat up, and lowered my disguise.

“No sweat.” I replied calmly, as I rose onto the floor, only to get the air kicked out of me by Lightning Dust.

“Changeling!” she spat.

“No! Wait!” cried Twilight, “She is a good changeling!”

“No such th-” she was in the middle of saying, then caught sight of my red shell, “what the!”

“I’m… Blackfire…” I spoke through rasping breaths.

Lightning Dust stood stuned….
