(Night Shadow's P.O.V.)
I am able to slip out of the dance to go and tell boss about, this girl. As I walk in He looks at me with pure hatred and says...
"Your late!"
"I am sorry, sir," I bow respectfully ",but I think that you will like the news I have for you this fine night."
"I don't want hear anything until I have the girl, she will be he payment for what her father did to me all those years ago!"
"Of course, sir" I say "We have found the girl, but I sense something strange about her."
"If you get me to her, there will be a lot stranger things happening to her," He pauses and looks at me "I can already tell that she will probably be very clever like her father, but we need something or more like someone close to her."
"I didn't see much of it, sir" I blush.
"I want you to follow her and those measly other girls," He looks at me and rubs his chin "He was suppose to choose me and he wouldn't want me to hurt his 'favorite' child" He laughs evilly "To bad I don't care, you are dismissed, but follow that girl?"
"Yes sir," I scamper out of the room into the darkness of the night.

"Girls we need to talk," Sunset said, seriously.
"What are you breaking up with me!" Rainbow fake cried "I... I know it's me not you, but why, WHY!"
"She would make a pretty decent Rarity," Applejack stated honestly.
"Thank you, Applejack," Rainbow smirked, she knew just the way to mess with Applejack's pretty little head "You see I'm more then just a pretty face, like what you see."
Rarity face palmed she knew where this was going and she didn't like it, but AJ didn't back down "Trust me I never went through the 'pretty face' stage with you."
"You wound me really, you do," Rainbow smiled ",but I'll be nice and only tell this part of the story. It was the day of the big English test a little fourth grade Rainbow Dash was wandering around the halls of the CES (Canterlot Elementary School) she was a new girl and her buddy was a younger and much nicer..."
"Hey!"
"...Applejack. The strange girl looked into the magenta eyed girl's eyes and said 'you sure have come on a great day' I saw something in her eyes something that was nagging in the back of her mind, but being in fourth grade I shrugged it off. To this day I still don't know what that nagging feeling was, but that was our defining moment, the moment that defined our indefinite friendship through the ages!"
"Was that suppose to embarrass me or what?"
"Of course it was that was just a random way showing that even 'stone cold feeling' Applejack can have feelings too," Rainbow bowed.
"Girls!" Sunset's voice rang in their ears, "we still need to find whoever this guy is and you are just laughing and talking like it's nothing!"
"It's fine, Sunset he'll make his next move soon," Applejack comforted her friend.
"You are most certainly correct Ms. Jacqueline Carnation Apple," A voice said from the shadows.
"Ahh," Fluttershy hugged her nearest friend.
"Who are you?" Applejack asked, her voice shaking with fear.
"A- are you n-not Ms.- Ms. Jacqueline Apple," He asked unprofessionally.
"Yes, ah am Jacqueline Apple, but where'd ya get Carnation from?" Her voice was still shaking and Rainbow looked at her in awe.
"You're just gonna trust a talking dude that you can't see!" Rainbow just stared at her.
"Trust me, I've trusted a lot of things that I can't see lately," AJ shook her head.
I recognize that voice, ombre de nuit!
"Who ta the what now?!" Applejack didn't mean to say that one aloud.
"Who are you talking to?" Twilight asked.
"Nobody in particular!" Applejack replied quickly.
Night Shadow!
Is he a threat?
Only if is in pure- Oh no!
"What do you mean 'Oh no!' there shouldn't be any 'Oh no's'" Applejack practically screamed. "Sorry, again!"
He is a pretty good fighter.
Come on, really? That's all!
Take a look yourself!
Applejack looked up and bumped into the same boy she saw at the party (which is btw. still going on).
Oh no!
(first fight scene in the story!)
Night lunged at her and had barely missed her foot, which she had moved just in time. He growled and tried again, but this time a rainbow blur hit him first. He kicked Applejack in the gut and she winced and looked as if she was about to cry out in pain.
"Boss was right, you are like your father weak and defenseless!" This ticked Applejack off of the deep end.
Right now would be a good to learn how to use my powers.
I could teach you!
Thanks Neigh.
I need you to focus...
Focus! I don't have time to focus!
Feel your connection to earth you shouldn't reach into the earth it should reach up to you!
"Rainbow girl, you think you can just kick me and get away with it!?" He towered over her.
Rainbow gulped "N- no."
He picked her up and threw her at the wall near the door.
"RAINBOW!" All her friends, but Applejack ran up to her. At that moment Night Shadow levetated the six friends out of the door.
"Wait AJ!" Rainbow called, as the door closed behind them.
"Now onto busine-" He was cut off when a shoe contacted his chest sending him into the wall.
"You think you could just waltz into my school and hurt my friends!" Her eyes flashed red and she reached into the earth and very thick vines surrounded her "Well I think NOT!"
He opened his hand then clasped it shut hundreds of flames bursted out around him "I guess we have to do this the hard way!"

(Meanwhile)
"We need to get back in there!" Rainbow shouted close to tears "There is no way she can take on that guy!"
"Darling," Rarity put a soothing hand on Rainbow's shoulder "I know Applejack, she can handle herself."
"Come on Ms. Attention To Detail!" Rainbow yelled into her ear, "even you should know that the whole 'tough girl' act is just a cover up! Didn't you see the point of my very insightful story!"
"I think we have bigger problems then that!" Pinkie smiled and waved at the crowd that had gathered.
"What happened!" The voice that belonged to Soarin asked.
"You girls never came out of... wait were is Applejack?" Caramel asked.
"I got it!" Sunset, who had been fidgeting with door called out.
The girls ran over to the door only to arrive when the last blow was coming. Night Shadow was laying on the floor and Applejack was leaning against the wall hyperventilating.
"APPLEJACK!" she looked up only to see the world disappearing around her.

(A long time after the girls left)
"I asked simply for you to follow them!"
"I'll do better next time!"
"There won't be a next time!"
