My name is Powder. I am a girl. No, no, no this isn’t a cocaine story. It is a meth story. No, but seriously though if you do either of those stop reading this story and seek mental help. No this a story how a white pony went through life, and how I interacted with others. My parents were dukes of a town named Fuzzlenutts. Yes I know the towns name was awfully ridiculous, but it's fun to say it over and over again. My parents were the richest people in the town. Even though my parents were rich they did not use it as a means to put down people and harm others. They shared their wealth quite frequently in fact. We have dozens of butlers who get paid handsomely for their hard work and dedication to the family. Heck they are practically family. They got their riches from selling weapons.

My parents had me at a young age and apparently I have this condition called albinism. Which means I can get damaged by the sun pretty easily. They loved me so much from what I read about them in the letters they left for me. When I was three, they were both murdered. The police say they never found the culprits who did it. For that my new caretaker, a maid named Ms. Huggs, took me to her hometown Ponyville.  We had to move everything to a new mansion on the outskirts of the town. Many ponies did not know who we were they thought we were a parade. Then Ms. Huggs settle all that out with the locals. 

I am five now. I am an earth pony. I have no friends sadly. Apparently, there is a legendary group of ponies called the Elements of Harmony. They’re names are Rainbow Blitz, Dusk Shine, Bubble Berry, Applejack (Male), Elusive, and Butterscotch. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get ready for school. I don’t have a cutie mark yet, but I am sure that’ll change. I had to wear a lot of clothing to keep the sun from you know, killing me. I wore a large, yellow sun hat that covered the front half of my body and a long yellow skirt that dragged on the floor. I put on my watch on that my dad bought for me, and my diamond choker that my mother bought for me.

“Powder are you almost ready for school?!” Ms. Huggs asked. 

“Yes, Ms. Huggs.” I answered politely. I galloped down the stairs to meet Ms. Huggs. She looked me over to make sure none of my body was exposed. I put on my sunglasses. She walked me to the school house about an earlier than anypony else. 

We met with the teacher. His name was Mr. Cherilee. He was just opening the school house when we arrived. 

“Hey, why aren’t you early.” said Cherilee enthusiastically.

“Mr. Cherilee, this is Powder she is albinistic.” said Ms. Huggs as I curtsied. Cherilee nodded in response. “She is not allowed to go outside the school house without the hat and the skirt on, or she could end up in the hospital, or worse in a grave.” said Ms. Huggs. Ms. Huggs was always like that she was usually quite blunt and to the point. She was also kind and loving, but do not get on her bad side. She gave me my lunch.

“Understood,” said Mr. Cherilee and with that Ms. Huggs left, “Its Powder right.” I nodded in acknowledgement of my own name. “Cool do you mind if you come and help me set up my class.” said Cherilee. Once we got in the school house I put my hat and skirt in my bag.

I answered with, “No Problem.” Cherilee and I set up the room for the class in the next hour.

Lunchtime…

I still haven’t found a single person to hangout yet. Probably do to the fact that my eyes are a deep shade of red making me look like a demon. Also there’s a rumor that the house that I live in is haunted. Which is stupid because we built the house on private property. Hhhh I don’t need friends that are idiots. I sat at a table by myself in the shade. 

Uh oh bullies.

“If ain’t the white hag from the depths of the underworld.” said Diamond Crown.

Without breaking a sweat I replied with, “I wish your dad’s money bought you IQ points instead of that dum Tiara.”

“At least we have parents.” said Silver Spoon that was low.

I retaliated with, “Hey at least my only calling cards are being rich and mean.” It seemed to work they were irritated and leaving, until I noticed that there was a third bully. That was sneaking behind me. His name was Bold Seed. He stole my hat and put it in a sunny area. I was trapped no amount of words could save me. They had beaten me.

I had been staring at my hand for about half the lunch period. That’s when she helped me out of my current predicament. She was tall filly and she had a little blue filly with her. They were both unicorns. They picked up my hat and brought it to me. Then they just left. I need to know their names. I fell asleep during roll call, so I don’t really names that well.

After School… 

I wanted to go home, but the bullies weren’t done with me yet. The three of them cut me off in the hallway of the school house. This attracted a large crowd of kids to swarm us. “So, the Hag has jokes.” said Bold Seed.

“And what is it that you do besides steal.” I said pretending that he didn’t exist.

He got physical. He tried to kick me. I ducked in the nick of time. He slipped and fell after his back hooves found nothing. The two bullies charged me at my sides. Another well time duck found them running into them head first. I grabbed my hat from the floor. Left a crowd of kids in aww. A filly kicked three of the toughest kids flanks without breaking a sweat.

“How was your day at school today Powder?” asked Ms. Huggs.

“It was exciting I can’t wait till tomorrow.” I said with a smile on my face.
