It was early morning when rays of sunlight began peeking through the window.
Pixie began to toss and turn in her bed, but before she could begin her bargaining with Celestia to keep to the sun down for the day, her mother interrupted “Pixie dear wake up sweetie. You don’t want to miss for your first day, do you?”
‘But I’d love to miss the first day’ Pixie thought to herself.
Pixie Dust was a Pegasus filly that had just moved with her mother from the loud and bustling city of Cloudsdale to the calm and quiet town of Ponyville. Pixie was never a strong flyer and was teased at her old school in Cloudsdale for being the weakest there. Her mother, Fairy Dust, thought it would be best if she were able to get a fresh start. She’d heard about Ponyville from a friend who much like Pixie Dust was a weak flyer in her youth and teased for it, she had told Fairy Dust about how much more friendly and welcoming Ponyville was, and recommended them to move there.
But this was her first day at the new school and Pixie was afraid to meet new ponies, she never made any friends at her old school, and was terrified that this new school would be just as bad.
However Pixie Dust knew how hard her mother was trying to help her and she had to try and meet some friends, and that wouldn’t happen if she stayed in bed and pretended to be sick.
“Coming mom.” she slowly made her way out of bed and down the stairs of the new home.
Pixie reluctantly grabbed the first sack lunch of many off the table and made her way out the door, before being stopped by her mother.
“Pixie wait” her mother said “please sit down, I want to talk to you.”
Pixie Dust took a seat at the kitchen table and immediately looked to the floor for comfort. She wanted to tell her mother that she didn’t want to go to this new school, she was afraid the kids would still pick on her even at this new school, and she wouldn’t make any friends anyway. But she knew she couldn’t say that. So instead she just listened.
“Pixie sweetie, I know this is hard for you, and I know the other fillies were mean at the old school, but things are going to be different here. The other fillies here aren’t focused on flying, so they won’t mind if you’re not the strongest flyer. And if things don’t work out here we can try another town and if that doesn’t work out either we’ll try again until someone realizes just how special you are.” Tears began to roll down Fairy Dust’s cheek. “Above all else know that I love you Pixie. Now go I don’t want you to be late for your first great day.”
Pixie Dust was speechless, she left her house with tears running down her cheek as well as she made her way over to the new school.
