Chapter 1: A New Recruit

I trotted along the streets of Canterlot early one rainy April day. April seventeenth to be exact. It didn't matter to me whether it was raining or not, the day was perfect! I was accepted to be interviewed by Shining Armor to sign up for the Royal Guard Reserves of the Royal Sisters (RGRRS). My purpley-grey mane was soaked, my grey coat similar. My amber eyes beamed with excitement nonetheless. As I trotted, I got a few waves and hellos from some of the locals. I was one of the few pegasi in Canterlot, but that didn't matter. I was quite popular. The only mare to sign up for the reserves, and succeed! I went from a low life blank flank, to a high class RGRRS member in a day!

"You must be Midnight, correct?"

"Yes, sir!" I said with great confidence.

"Well, seeing as how you are the only-" Shining started to say, being cut off by an enraged voice, followed by the sound of a large breaking sound.

"RRRRRRRAAAGH!!!! Stupid boss! Thou shall not best the princess of the night!" Luna screamed in rage as she levitated a new controller out of a pile of them and through the broken one in a larger pile of messy wires and broken plastic casings.

"Luna, we have a new reserve coming in, so could you keep your rage down, please?!" Shining Armor said, closing Luna's gamer room door.

"Shining Armor, I cannot contain my feelings of anger! I must beat this final boss!" she yelled back.

"Ugh...just try!"

"What's that all about?" I asked.

"Nothing serious. Just Luna being Luna..." Shining said without a care. It was as if this was normal for Luna.

"Alriiight...if you say so..." I said.

"Now, come along Ms. Wing. Interviewing room to the right," Shining Armor said to me.

"Okay sir!" I said.
