(Oh my! A story based on an alicorn! how original... before you downvote, or say that there's no need for the main character to be an alicorn... it's essential to the plot... read if you may... criticize if you need to... but i intend to write this story to the very end, i know it's an outdated idea, i know that it may seem generic at first, but it will get less generic (I hope) the further it goes in, also, Tags will be added as they become apparent or as needed.)

Twilight has had the same dream every night for three weeks. Seven numbers float among blackness: 9461242.

What do these numbers mean? Why do they haunt Twilight so? And why is Princess Celestia so reluctant to help?

The answer is out there somewhere, but Twilight may not be ready for the truth...

Princess Celestia has forgotten something. Something important.

But what the hell is it?

Comments contain spoilers.

Miss Cheerilee informs Applejack that she never passed elementary mathematics. Since every pony in Equestria is legally required to understand rudimentary math, Applejack must retake and pass a basic exam in order to avoid going back to school.

Sounds simple enough, right?

So, why is she like that? No one in Ponyville knows, they just know she's like that. Who does know about her faults? Was it some kind of accident?

No, she's just special. She's different from every other pony in Ponyville.

This story talks about her parents, what they felt after she was born, and, most importantly, why she's special.

You are definitely special, Ditzy Doo.

((This story is really short, but it was just something I had to write, since the idea was pretty good.
))
