Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, thee Cutie Mark Crusaders; thinking of ways to get their cuties marks, as they head to school. “Good morning girls.” Cheerilee greet them as they enter the school house. “Good morning Ms. Cheerilee.” All three spoke making their voice correspond. Taking their seat, Ms. Cheerilee walks to the front of the class. “Good morning class.” “Good morning Mr. Cheerilee.” With little energy, being that it’s morning, the only one who could be counted as fully awake is Apple Bloom, being she a farm pony.
“Today, we have a new pony joining us. Say hello to your new classmate, Nightfall.” A starless onyx coat colt, with blood red mane, and eyes came in. The first thing the student notice, beside the stylish charcoal and gold saddlebag and a blood red hexagon gemstone, with a black dragon claw wrapping half way around it, it’s knuckles showing from the side, with its claws barely reaching to scratch the front side of it. But what really caught their eyes was his cutie mark; a black hooded blood red unicorn skull, with a horn, that spark a black red aura.
“O cool, he got a cutie mark!” Some cult shouts. “Now student, where is your manner?” Cheerilee scold the class “Hi Nightfall.” The class spoke, all at the same time. “Hello.” Reply the black unicorn colt, with a cartoon emo expression. “Would you like to say a few things about yourself?” Asks Cheerilee “No.” Reply in a depression tone. “O, um, then I guess you can take a seat…. There in the back, by the window.” The teacher point, rather surprise by the reply he gave. “Thank you.” He walks to his seat. ‘Will he do have manner, but why would he thank me for that?’ She thought to herself. The class watches him as he take his seat.
“Okay class before we begin today lessons, I’m collecting class night homework.” The class grunt.
Later at the playground; while others ponies are playing, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle was still thinking on how they can earn their cutie mark. “Have you thought of something Sweetie Belle?” Apple Bloom spoke. “No. You have anything, Scootaloo?” “No, nothing, we’ll never get our cutie marks!” She burst out. “Will of course you want.” Diamond Tiara spoke, walking up to them. “Loser doesn’t get Cutie Mark, haven’t you heard.” She laughs with Silver Spoon. “I’m getting tire of that mouth of your Tiara.” Scootaloo steps up to the two mares. “And what you’re going to do about it. If you touch either one of us, our daddy will sue.” Silver Spoon smug, holding her ground. “Does it look like I gave a dam about that?” Scootaloo barks. She gets in a charging position, while spreading her wings. The two stuck up girls realizing pain could be coming next, step back. “Forget it Scoot, they’re not worth it.” Apple Bloom spoke. “Yeah, don’t let them get to you, just ignore them.” Sweetie Belle adds. The two stuck up queen tilt their head back, “hum” and left. “Yeah I know, but what is up with them.” Scootaloo relaxes. “Who care, we have bigger problem.” Apple Bloom spoke.
“Hay, isn’t that the new colt….Nightfall over there” Sweetie Belle point out. “Yeah, it’s him.” Scootaloo confirm. “What he’s doing?” Sweetie Belle asks no one particular. “It looks like he’s reading a book.” Scootaloo answers. “Why isn’t he playing with any ponies?” “He must be shy.” Sweetie Belle answers. “That’s it!” Apple Bloom yells out. “What’s it?!” Sweetie Belle yells out of surprise. “We can help him make friends!” Apple Bloom burst out. “Okay…” Scootaloo response loses. “Don’t you get it? That could be our cutie marks; helping others to make friends!” “Yeah” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo yell in joy.
The three walks up to the colt; who’s at the moment reading an old thick journal, while writing into another one, using his magic to control the quill, with his gray and gold saddlebag sitting next to him. “Hi!” Sweetie Belle greet with a smile. The black coat colt, not looking up spoke “Yes?” “We see you don’t have any friends.” Scootaloo cheerfully spoke. “And?” he spoke, still to his task. “Will, were here to help with that!” Apple Bloom explains to him. “No thank you.” Nightfall reject. “No reason to worry, we'll be with you every step of the way.” Apple Bloom insures. “I’m okay” Black colt response, never looking up from the journal. “Don’t be shy, will be right with you.” Sweetie adds. “Not shy.” Black colt spoke, still reading. “Then what’s the problem?!” Scootaloo getting agitates. “There is no problem.” Nightfall spoke, still reading. “Don’t you want to make friends?” Apple Bloom asks. “No.” The three mares loudly inhale from the answer. “Why?” Sweetie Belle asks. “No reason, just don’t want to.” he spoke in a blunt tone. “Every pony want’s friends.” Apple Bloom stated. “Not me.” Nightfall retorted. “Come on, were trying to help here.” Scootaloo getting irritated even more. “I never ask for your help.” The black colt spit out.
Scootaloo yell stomping toward him, reaching for the thick journal. Nightfall’s horn glowing brighter black red colors, the other three not noticing. “What’s your probl-” Nightfall put up a magic shell, a black red colors to it, but making it able to see through. “What the hay?” Scootaloo shout walking into it. “Wow.” Sweetie Belle spoke in a hush. “Fine, be that way! Come on guys.” Scootaloo shout while stomping off.
After School Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo head to town. “Hay there’s Nightfall.” Sweetie Belle point out. “What’s his problem? And he’s still reading and writing. Egghead” Scootaloo annoy just by seeing him. “Come on.” Apple Bloom spoke out “What, why?!” Scootaloo asks. “If we can’t get a friendships Cutie Mark, let try a helping others out cutie mark.” Apple Bloom explains. “Fine” Scoot gave in.
They run toward Nightfall. “Nightfall hay, wait.” The black cult stop, turn his head to sees who was calling him. “Yes?” Apple Bloom starts. “Listen, if you don’t want us, to help you making friends, then how about something else; like we show you around town.” Apple Bloom ended. “…Okay, can you give me the direction for the library?” “O really, um, it’s by Sugar Cube corner, we’ll show you.” “That’s okay, I’ll ask once I get to Sugar Cube corner.”
“What, but that want do, we can’t just help you half way like that, it’s don’t even count as help.” “…Okay then, make a mental image of Ponyville?” “Uh hum okay.” “Good, now hold to it.” Nightfall horn light up, in a black red aura, Apple Bloom head light up following, then faded. “Wow.” Apple Bloom trying to stay on her hoofs. “Thank you for the direction.” “What the hay?” Scootaloo shout out. “She didn’t say anything.” Sweetie Belle confuses. “She don’t have to, I copy the information from her head. Thank you again for the direction, you have been a big help. Bye.” Nightfall walks away. “What’s his problem?” Scootaloo irritated.
Nightfall walks through town, coming across Sugar Cube. As he bring make the mental map. He was about to proceed pass Sugar Cube, When a pink pony jump in his way. “Hi.” Nightfall stare at her for a second, taking in her friendly detail. “Hello.” He said, while going back to reading and writing, as he begins to go around her. But yet again she jumps back in front of him out of no wear. “I never seen you before, you must be new?” “Yes I am.” This time he just continues to read and write while again, going around the pink pony, put yet again she pop up. “I figure, I knew you were new, because I know every pony in Ponyville. My name is Pinkie, Pinkie Pie. What’s yours?” She just follows behind him, as she talks. “I’m Nightfall.” He spoke, while still walking, reading, and writing. “Nightfall, wow, that’s a cool name! Where you move from?” “I’m busy. Can’t you tell? It was nice talking to you.” Pinkie deflated; her smile turn to a frown, her pink coat and mane darken, her mane hang straight down from her body. Nightfall just continues to walk away, while still reading, and writing. Second later she puff back up. “Okie dokie, bye. I’ll throw you a welcome party. So be there!” With that she hopes away, Night fall just continues to his destination.
He reaches the library, making a black red magical fist of aura, using it to knocks on the door. “Come in, were open!” A voice yells out. Using that same black magical fist aura too open, and closing the door, before vanishing. A Lavender pony with a pink stripe in her mane walks up. “Hi, welcome, how may I help you?” “That’s okay; I’m just here to look around.” “O, will okay, just call if you need anything.” “Okay, thank you.” “Were welcome” The Lavender pony walks away. Nightfall walks to a shelf, and starting to read over the title.
“Come on girls! We can still get our helper cutie mark.” Apple Bloom spoke while walking down the road. “Where are we going?” Sweetie Belle asks following alone side AB. “Where going to my house.” She said with a straight face. “Why?” Scootaloo ask curious. “Isn’t it obvious, to see if my sister or my brother needs help.” They reach Sweet Apple Acres. As all ways, Apple Bloom sibling is hard at work.
They walk up to Big Macintosh. “Hay Big Mac! You need any help?” “Nope” Big Macintosh answers while working. The Cutie Mark Crusaders hang their head in disappointment. Then they see Apple Jack, bucking trees away. They approach her. “Hay Apple Jack, Need help with anything.” “No thanks.” “Awww” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle complain. “What wrong?” Apple Jack asks. “Were trying to get our cutie marks by helping ponies, but we can’t find any one that needs help.” Apple Bloom explains. “How many times do I have to tell you girls; you got to be patient with this.”
“Maybe my sister could use help.” Sweetie Belle spoke out. “Yeah, let go.” Apple Bloom replies. Apple Jack just rolls her eyes with a smile. She then she spot Scootaloo, with an irritate expression. “What’s wrong Scoot?” “Huh what!? Oh, nothing.” Scoot response in a low voice. “You’re still mad about Nightfall?” Apple Bloom asks. “No!” She raises her voice a little.
“Who’s Nightfall?” Apple Jack asks. “He’s a new unicorn colt in at school.” Sweetie Belle answers. “Yeah, he was the first person we try to help, but he said no.” Apple Bloom added. “We saw him sitting by himself, so we thought we could help him make friends.” Sweetie Belle explains. “But he total rejects us, and blocked us off.” Scootaloo yell. “He’s very skill at magic; when Scootaloo was reaching for him, he cast a magic shield around himself. And after school, when Apple Bloom asks him if he needed any help getting around town, he copy a map from her head, or at least that what he said.” Sweetie Belle added. “Yeah, and he got a cutie mark.” Apple Bloom added. “Did he hurt you Apple Bloom?” Apple Jack asks. “No, like Sweetie Belle said, he just copy the way around Ponyville.
“Look girls, sometime you need to know when to back off, if he said no, then he mean no.” Apple Jack spoke. “But that’s imposable; he said he didn’t want friends. What kind of pony don’t want friends.” Apple Bloom exclaim. “Then he’s shy, gave him some spaces and time.” Apple Jack explains. “No, he told us, he wasn’t.” Scootaloo spoke, with an irritation expression. “Let the colt be, if he want to do things at his own pace, then let him, a least he knows if he needs help, he’ll know who to ask.” Apple Jack said, with a smile. “Fine” The fillies said in response. “Come on let go to Rarity place.” Apple Bloom commanded “Yeah” Sweetie Belle reply. The three fillies walks away from Apple Jack, she just roll her eyes, and went back to work.
Nightfall picks a few books off the shelf with his magic, skimming through the pages, while magic holding a journal and quill. The lavender mare, peek out at this, seeing the strange to color aura, and how skills he is in magic, to be able to magic garb multiple objects at once, while concentrate on something else. She decides to approach him, being curious. “What you’re reading?” “Nothing” Putting books back on the self. “Is this all the books you have?” He spoke with an irritate expression “I’m sorry, what the title of the book you’re looking for?” “It’s not like I was looking for an exact book.” “Then what subject of the book, or books you’re looking for?” “Topics focus in on the different state of the mind, also perhaps variety of herbal potions for dreams or meditation.” “O yes, I have a book dealing with herbal potion, and a book about the realm of dreams.” She magic grab two books from across the library, on different shelf. “Here you go.” “Thank you.” He set down, and will the two books to open with his magic, skimming through them.
“May I ask what this is all for?” “Ways to enter and gain control of the subconscious mind, by being in an unconscious state, while being conscious about it.” “Wow” “Yes” Black colt still reading, writing notes down.”
“What are you going to do once you find out away?” “That is a personal matter.” “O” The mare’s ears go back, as she tilt turn her head toward the ground, Nightfall sees this and exhale. ”Do you know how we can only use a fraction of our brain.” The lavender mare looks up. “Yes” “Will beside the parts that deal with our body function; such as heart, lungs and muscles control. I want to access the other parts, the parts that take in everything around us, that project, and control our dreams, the part that holds our memories. I believe that the only way to do so, is through the subconscious, so I’m researching ways to access it through my dreams or in other word, unconsciously, and then become conscious while still in a state of unconscious.” “But, for what purpose?” “To gain access to knowledge that you already contain.” “So you want to get access to knowledge that you already know?” “No, you see, your brain process information at an amazing speed, it storage and discard the information that it gains. Even knowledge that does not seen to be relevant to itself, but is important to you, even when your studying something, you could only manage to remember the large detail of the information discarding the rest. But the mind never really throw anything away, it put it either in the subconscious, or some other storage space of the mind. Your brain never truly forget, or delete anything, it must be putting it in a deeper part of the subconscious.” “Fascinating” “Yes, now if you would excuse me, I must be going, I have to get started on these books.”
As he magic will the books, and his things in his saddlebag, and start to walks to the front entrance. “Okay… Wait!” The black colt turns his head. “Yes?" “My name is Twilight, Twilight Sparkle. may I ask for your name?” “…It’s Nightfall.” “Nightfall…, I never heard that name before, are you new in Ponyville?” “Yes.” “We’re did you move from?” “That’s… a personal issue.” “O..; Will it’s nice to meet you Nightfall, hope to see you again, I would love to hear more on your research.” “You too Ms. Sparkle” “Just call me Twilight. I’ll look out for any books that might be able to help you with your research.” “Thank you. That would be a big help for me. Bye …Twilight, have a nice day.” “Bye Nightfall, you too” Nightfall exits the library.
