The First Day

"Mom mom, its today its today!" Dinky said impatiently. "Time for school, time for school!"
Derpy raised her head off of her cloud pillow. She had been having a hard time sleeping the night before over the concern of her daughter going to school.
"Mooom are you okay?" Dinky said in a troubled voice.
"It's nothing Dink" Derpy said in a reassuring voice. "Lets get some breakfast and get goi-" Dinky had already left the room and had made her way to the kitchen. "Hmm kids." Derpy muttered to herself with a smile.
Derpy made her way to the kitchen and hears a loud crash and some glass break. Derpy acts immediately and bursts her way into the room.
"Whats going on in here Dinky!?"
Dinky was taking cover underneath the table when she see her mother and said back.
"I was trying to get the glasses out, but my magic wasn't as strong as I thought it was. I'm sorry mommy, are you mad at me?"
"No I'm not mad at you muffin, I'm just glad that you're safe." Derpy says while hugging her child.
"Lets just clean this up and grab a muffin on the way out." She said "Yeah that sounds better." Derpy muttered to herself
Walking outside was a beautiful sight for Dinky. The birds were chirping, Vinyl Scratch's music wasn't as loud as normal, and Rainbow Dash had just cleared the sky, most likely in ten seconds flat.
"Its going to be a great day for you Dinky." Derpy said. After about ten minutes of walking, Derpy and Dinky had tripped a couple of times on there way their walk. They could finally see the school yard. Derpy stopped to talk to Dinky.
"Now I want you to be on your best behavior when your in there. Be nice to the others and give Miss Cherrile the apple in your ba-" Dinky had all ready made her way to the yard when Derpy looked back at her. "Kids, what ar-." And just like that Derpy had spotted a butterfly and had started chasing it.
Dinky was finally standing in front of the wooden doors of her school she whispered to herself. "Here we go." And makes her way into the classroom, but only to be stopped short by two older ponies who looked to be in a grade higher than her. Bumping into the leg of one the other pushed her to the side, hitting her head on the guard rail.

"Hey, stop it!" Dinky said with courage,she had summoned up.
But it was all in vain, for her pleas were just encouragement to the older ponies. One of the ponies (Who looked like the leader of the group) used his magic to pin her up against the old oak tree in the yard while the other ponies went to the sky to grab a cloud to throw cloud balls in Dinky's face, which made her mane all wet. Blinded by the water, all Dinky could do was scream for help and get chocked by all the cloud in her mouth. When all of a sudden ,when Dinky felt like she was going to pass out, she heard a closed door open with a great "BANG" and heard three fillies yell out
"Cutie Mark Crusaders to the rescue!"
Dinky suddenly dropped from the tree, and about the same time she heard one of the other older ponies grunt after a powerful thud was taken to his chest. Dinky wiped her eyes as she saw that the crusaders that came to her aid had only done minimal damage to the older ponies. Dinky shuttered in disbelief that what she saw was actually a terrible thing. SweetieBell was laying on the ground unconscious, Applebloom was being chased around the yard by a flying pony, and Scootaloo was being held by the other older ponies magic. Dinky closed her eyes becausevshe didn't want to see anymore than she just had. Dinky could feel how weak she was from the pain she had taken and the pain that was given to the crusaders, a single tear went down her eye, she could feel great amounts of power rushing to her horn. She tooka breath and with a powerful yell that could rival the crash of the sonic rainboom she screamed "STOP IT!" A ripple wave of air flew past the older ponies like a gust of wind to leaves, the older ponies were lifted to the air with a blue magical force that imprisons them inside a bubble like force field. Dinky had open her eyes which illuminated a bright light blue that had the crusaders scared. She then lifted the older ponies higher and higher into the sky, but this time they're above the school. And with a single nudge of Dinky's horn the older ponies were flown from the school yard to possibly see Canterlot by the looks of it. Dinky's eyes returned to normal and just like that, Dinky vision turned to black and she passed out.

The Cutie mark crusaders, in complete shock had not known what just happened but what they did know was that they needed to get Dinky out of the public, fast before anypony sees what had happened. Hours later the crusaders had dragged Dinky all the way back to sweet apple acres to their hide out on Scootaloo's scooter Sweetiebell had ran to Twilight Sparkle's library to learn what had happen with Dinky. Applebloom started closing the window blinds to the hide out so no pony could leer in while Scootaloo just finished tucking Dinky into bed. Then there was some footsteps that came outside, all inside were quiet. A knock in a certain pattern was played on the door. It was Sweetiebell. She bursts through the door screaming her head off "I got it, I got it!" The other ponies covered Sweetiebell's mouth and told her to be quiet as she placed the old dusty book on the table and peered in to see what secrets were to be shown. All three of the ponies read at the same pace and the same place to the end of the sentence. All three ponies gasped in horror because they know now that they aren't safe with Dinky in the room. "We need to get rid of her." Scootaloo said with concerned whisper. "We can't do that. Shes way to dangerous to be set loose on the world now." Applebloom said. "What ever we do we need to do it now." Sweetiebell said. As those words were spoken a faint voice in the back of the room went "Do what?" Dinky had awoken.
