“There’s no way you’re going to beat me… after all I did teach you fly.” Rainbow Dash yelled over her shoulders as she got faster.
“Ya, well we will just see about that.” I yelled back as I started to catch up.
“Alright Flyboy, if you think you’re so fast, loser makes the other one dinner.” She yelled trying to keep her lead… it wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be.
“You still owe me dinner!” I yelled at her as I slowly crept to the lead.
“Oh ya… well if I win you owe me dinner and I don’t have to give you dinner.” She yelled with a grin as she tied the lead with me.
“And if I win?” I asked
“Don’t worry that won’t happen.” She yelled as she bolted forward taking the lead.
“Careful Shadow, don’t get worked up too much, your power is connected to your emotions.” I heard the light pony’s voice say in my head.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“What was that?” Rainbow Dash asked as she was flying faster forward.
“Ugh…nothing.” I yelled back to her.
“You don’t have to actually talk to communicate with me, I can read your thoughts.” He said.
“Oh ok what am I thinking then?” I thought testing if he could actually hear my thoughts.
“… Of all the souls in the universe it chose you…” the voice mumbled.
“What chose me?” I thought, moving faster trying to catch up to Rainbow Dash.
“I can’t tell you, you’ll have to find out yourself.” He said.
“Why is everything a secret with you?” I thought getting frustrated that, for one, this random pony is keeping secrets, and two, Rainbow was a good 100 meters ahead of me.
“All I can say is I’m the guardian of the line, you can call me Mist.” He said also getting frustrated, “Control your emotions before they control you! You have no idea what could happen with the power you possess.” He yelled as I sped up getting extremely annoyed.
“I Got this!” I yelled in my head, just then I felt an electrifying feeling in the air and a red magic aura began to surround me, I got faster and faster until I was going so fast that I couldn’t see so well.
“Oh no… YOU HAVE TO CALM DOWN!” the voice yelled.
“Why? I feel great!” I thought as I flew faster and faster passing Dash a while ago.
“None of the other souls could control this stage of power! You are the most ignorant, helpless, and just plain pesky one there has been; there’s no way you can handle this power, you will destroy the whole town!” He yelled starting to panic
“Start talking and I will stop!” I yelled at him trying to turn the tables.
“Fine, you have been chosen by an element, one that I have been the guardian of for millions and millions of years. Every so often there is one who is chosen when a great evil falls on the lands and it is my job to prepare you for the task, the reason you have no memories is because we can’t have any distractions for you… I don’t know what it is but something is different about you… you learn much faster than any of the other souls have, you are somehow regaining your memories and for some reason, the effects of the element are acting differently on you then any other…  I fear you have been destined for another rout as well… an evil rout and it is up to you to choose which one you are on. Now! Please stop before you destroy this town!” He yelled as he explained everything he could.
“Now then, was that so hard?” I thought as I stopped right in front of Sugarcube Corner.
“How… how did you do that?” he asked 
“Do what?” I asked a bit confused
“You just stopped… turned off the power… cold turkey and all.” He said in awe.
“Ya, would you believe I just started flying like five days ago?” I said jokingly.
“I must think about this… stay out of trouble…” he said
“Yes mom.” I said sarcastically.
“Well I might as well go inside and get a drink while I wait for Dash.” I thought to myself.
10 mins. Later:
I was drinking a smoothie when Dash arrived.
“Glad to finally see you decided to show up.” I said
“What the hell was that?” she asked angrily as she walked up to me.
“What?” I asked with a grin on my face not knowing what she was talking about.
“You almost knocked me out of the sky flying that fast by me, I could have died!” she yelled at me.
“What?!” I asked in shock
“Ya, and when I screamed for help you didn’t even bother turning your head to see me.” She said with a bit of a sad/angry expression on her face.
“I’m SO SORRY!” I yelled trying to let her know I was unaware.
“Ya and what was with the Blood Red Rainboom? You’re magic is a much nicer color and your black and white… something was wrong with that picture.” She said kind of scared.
“I…I don’t know… I would never try to hurt you, or anypony for that matter.” I said trying to hold back tears when I realized the monster she must see me as.
“Are you ok?” I asked in a concerned tone.
“Ya, I’m fine…are you?” she asked with an equally concerned tone.
“Well… I’m going to go home now.” She said leaving quickly.
“Ya… Me too.” I said to myself as I started to walk towards the library.
In The Library Twilight’s POV:
“I wonder how Dash’s and Shadow’s race is going?” I asked Spike
“I’m sure it’s fine… but asking every 10 minutes wont answer the question… are you jealous of Rainbow Dash spending time with him?” he asked
“Of course not… maybe just a little…” I said
“Well, have you thought of telling him how you feel?” he asked
“I can’t… have you seen how every mare acts around him… it seems like everypony likes him.
“Well do what you want Twi… I don’t see what’s so great about him anyways.” He said.
“Have you even talked to him or spent time with him?” I asked curiously trying to defend Shadow.
“Well…err…no, but-“I interrupted him with “Exactly, tomorrow you and him are going to spend some quality colt time with each other.” I said confidently.
“Aww… do I have to?” he whined.
“Yes you do.” I said
Just then somepony knocked on the door.
“I’m coming!” Spike yelled as he left me to get the door.
A few seconds he returned back into the room and continued doing what he was doing before, dusting.
“Who was it?” I asked curiously
“Vinyl, she wanted to see Shadow” He said.
“What did you tell him?” I asked
“Just that he wasn’t here, and then she told me to tell him to meet at her place for the time of his life… I wonder that is supposed to mean?” he said looking up at me expectantly
“Well ugh… it means um… well you will understand when you are older, besides Shadow would never go over there to “Have the time of his life”.
“Why not? If somepony offered me to have the time of my life I would say “Heck yes”, who wouldn’t” he asked
“Like I said Spike, you’ll understand when you’re older.” I said trying to ignore the image of Shadow and Vinyl in my head; it just seems to creep up to me though.
“Whatever you say Twi.” He said.
We then heard a small bang on the door and I walked over to the door to what it was… I wish I hadn’t …
My POV:
As I approached the library, I saw Vinyl there so I decided to say hi.
“Hey Vinyl, What are you doing? Looking for Twi?” I asked as I walked towards her and the library.
“No, actually I’m looking for you.” She said with a smile.
“Oh, well you found me” I said returning a friendly smile.
“I see that.” She said with a chuckle
“So what do you need?” I asked
“I don’t NEED anything… but there is something I want and I think you can help.” She said as she bit her bottom lip.
“Umm… Sure, what is it you want?” I asked nervously not sure where this was heading.
“Well.” She said as she walked closer to me, as I walked backwards towards the library.
“What I want… is you.” She said as she lunged into me thrusting us back into the library door creating a small bang noise.
“Whoa, hang on there Vinyl I-“I was interrupted by her pressing her lips into mine… I was getting a forced make out session and I wasn’t sure if I liked it or didn’t.
Just then the door opened up and we fell backwards into the library with vinyl landing on top of me and Twilight looking down at us.
“Twi… It’s not what it looks like…” I said trying to explain but she was in no mood to hear what I had to say.
“Vinyl, can you please leave?” She asked angrily but politely at the same time.
“Ya sure Twilight.” She said as she got up making the call me sign towards me and closing the door behind her.

“So… I guess I was wrong about you…” Twilight said as she looked at me slightly disgusted and slightly sad, but mostly confused.
“No, Twi, She threw herself on me.” I said trying to defend myself.
“Ya, well it sure didn’t look like you were in a rush to throw her off.” She said angrily.
“Look Twi, it isn’t like that!” I said
“Oh ya? Then please explain how is it?” she asked angrily and sadly. 
“Ok, so she must have a thing for me or something… but I’m not that colt ok.” I said innocently
“Ya, well you sure surprised me,” She said
“Ya… Well today I have had some weird things happen to me.” I said looking downwards.
“Oh… was it with Dash?” she asked accusingly.
“No!” I said upset that she would think that.
“Oh? So what was it then?” she asked angrily.
“I-I can’t tell you.” I said sadly.
“Well you better figure it out!” She yelled as she went upstairs and went to bed.
“Wow… Today has been one bad day.” I said to myself.
