Maria note: Ok if you didn’t follow Dream story you will be confused about this chapter, basically this is the story of my life when I arrived in Equestria before I became the famous author of Daring Do and the mother of my beautiful Fluttershy.
This is all canon but happen years before the main plotline, so if you’re not interest of the tale of the first mute human in Equestria you can skip this chapter. Oh and I almost forgot, me and my granddaughter are the only ones to be written in the first person, so don’t be confused, when it’s says Maria chronicles in the chapter title that mean it’s my story.
It’s was my second day at the school for foreign species of Canterlot. North Arrow, or Daring Do as she like to call herself, didn’t make a move to ‘learn everything about me’ like she said yesterday. The student had mixed reaction over me being mute.
Luckily I didn’t meet bullies...Yet , ``Hey Maria! come here.`` I spun around and come face with Cadence who wave at me.
‘What do you want?’ I scribble on my notepad.
``I need help to open this, could you help me with your hands?`` Didn’t she learn to open this locker arleady? She wispered me her code and open it. ``Thanks Maria! You’re such a good friend.`` She said hugging me, I roll my eyes at her, she a good filly but she can be a little clingy at times.
She let me go after a while and I made my way to the cafeteria only to be takle in the main hall. ``I got you human! Now I can study you all I want!`` I tried to get rid of the cafe brown Pegasus but she was almost as strong as a Earth pony.
``Interesting your race must have evolve from apes.`` Apes?! How dare she humans are not coming from simple beast...Are we? At our school they made us learn that god have created humanity and that we were the most important race.
But since I came here I clearly saw that humans wasn’t that important in fact all these different races made a better job to make a peaceful world than us. ``You’re also blond are all humans have that mane color?`` She wait for my answer but I couldn’t respond, her eyes widden in realisation.
``Oh yeah you’re mute! I had totally forgot about that, this could make things a little more complicate.`` You don’t say? I throught to myself bitterly. I noticed that North Arrow ‘study’ was stirring the attention of quite the public, I heard some muttering.
``Hey check this dude out two lesbian are making out in the hall!`` The griffin in my class said to the destral filly.
``Hey wait isn’t it Maria and North Arrow?`` She ask confused more than anything at what was happening.
``I have to take a picture of this.`` He took a large strange object I never saw before and the machine created a huge flash in our direction, is this some sort of magical artifact?
North Arrow was either ignoring or didn’t heard what they were saying. ``Are all humans mute? Or are you the only one? Nod if it’s the former.`` I shook my head she then produce a notebook out of nowhere and began to write notes on it.
``North Arrow! What I told you about this sort of activity in my school?.`` Said a voice that I could heard as a villain in the theater back in the United Kingdom I look at him and I saw a very strange creature. He had a hand on his tail, some of his appearance look like one from a type of primate but I wasn’t sure about the rest.
North Arrow groan in annoyance at him. ``Not you again Ahuizotl! I told you I’m not sexually harassing ponies I’m just studying them!`` That doesn’t sound much better, I wanted to scream to her but of course I couldn’t.
``I told you to call me director Ahuizotl and I will not tolerate this kind of attitude in my school miss Arrow you are disturbing the students, you and miss Maria are suspended for the week`` What?! But I didn’t do anything! However with my curse of being mute I couldn’t even told him that before he left us.
``Don’t worry we think you're hot Maria!`` Scream the griffin before receiving a hit on the back of the head by his bat pony friend.

I walk alone in the streets of Canterlot the unicorns were either scared or disgust by my appearance as I pass by. I kick a pebble of rock a I made my way back to the castle, how would I explain this to princess Celestia? Would she by angry with me, or even worse disapointed!?
I heard quick foo- I mean hoofsteps behind me and a now annoying voice said. ``Look Maria I’m sorry for what I did-`` I turn around with a angry glare, she notice I had tears in my eyes she tried to talk further to apologise but I had prepare my notepad in case North Arrow did indead came to me.
‘Go away from me! Maybe it’s not important to you but I take my studies seriously it my only way to fit in in this new world, I don’t want to have anything to do with you.' I Couldn’t even think of a word to insult her I just wanted here to go away.
With that I put my notepad in my bag before running in the streets of Canterlot, I hear North Arrow screaming for me to come back but I ignore her. As I turn the corner I accidently hit a mare and I fell on the ground with her. ``Woah! I know I’m hot but you don’t need to tackle me`` Said the mare below me.
I lift myself from the ground and help to lift her up from the ground and she dust herself off, I realised it was the bat pony from my class. ``Oh Maria I found you! Poor North Arrow would be devastate if she find out that you cheat on her.`` She said teasingly with a smirk I made a huff motion as I glare at her.
``Ok maybe too soon to make this type of joke, ‘Daring Do’ as she like to call herself can be a little excitable when she see something rare like a artifact or a race never seen on Equestria.`` She said the last part with a knowing grin.
``You should forgive her she think she’s hot stuff because she’s part of the hoofball team but inside she just a anti-social nerd.`` I throught for a moment and scrib on the notepad.
‘I will think about it’ The destral grin as if she had arleady succeed to change my mind.
``Cool! Hey since you have nothing to do right now do you want to go take a lunch?```I was surprise at the sudden proposal but I really didn’t want to explain Celestia why I’m going home sooner right now.
‘Ok, But I didn’t catch your name.’
``Ah! How could I forget? My name is Cloudy Night, but my friends call me Flighty since that day I forgot go to Cloudstale for my last exam last year. Doesn’t matter I always like clouds and rain but I don’t like the job that go with it anyway.`` She shrug to herself I would have giggle if I could have, instead I silently follow her as we walk to the restaurant of her choice.
