	Night was slowly trotting through the dark dead hallways of Canterlot Magic School, checking every other classroom to see if the Princess was hiding there, or maybe other students that can tell him where she could be and which Princess it is. “Now where is this…Princess that everypony keeps on talking about?” Night starts to sing a familiar tune, “oh where oh where could the princess have gone, oh where oh where could she be...?” Night becomes a little frustrated and yells, “Come out here Princess I know you’re here!” It stayed quiet as he expected. Night sighs and whispers to himself, “I guess I am going to have to do this the hard way then…now what is the nearest classroom…?” looks a couple of feet down the hallway and sees a door with a small glimmering light. “Well something is telling me I should check in there first.”
Night begins to trot over to the classroom door, “Let’s see if she is behind door number 1!” Night bumps his head into the door, “Ooff, well of course it is locked…it only tempts me more.” he uses an unlocking spell on the door, “huh did they forget to use an unlockable spell that they can only use?”
Night looks at the door one last time and bursts inside.
“Ahh!” screamed the three mares inside.
“Why does everypony have to scream when I am around?”
A light orange mare with a yellow mane and with a cutie mark that had several shimmering stars talks first, “umm excuse me but are you going to help us?”
Night laughs, “help you? Nonono, you’re going to help me.”
The other two ponies that looked like twins both were cyan with light blue manes talked first this time, “what do you mean help you?”
The other one talked next, “We all need to get out of here before…”
“No!” Night interrupted, “How many times have I said that I can’t leave! Why doesn’t anypony understand that?!” 
“Why can’t you leave?” then the light orange pony realized something, “Hey wait a sec, is your name Night Rush?”
“Yes, why?”
“I know you! Don’t you remember me?”
“No” Night replied.
“Its Shimmer shine, we sat together in potion making class,” she said.
“Oh yeah I think I remember…don’t get me side tracked here,” he snaps back into his right mind set, “Look all I need is some questions answered and then I can be on my way and you three could get out of here without being harmed.”
“Night don’t tell me that you are the one that caused the school to go into lockdown?” Shimmer Shine asked.
“Well yeah, let’s just say that it had all started with some rumors that had spread throughout the school.”
Shimmer shine replies in a low tone, “Was it the one about you being the one that killed your parents…?”
“YES! You don’t need to remind me about it! Don’t you think that it has been hard for myself to even live without them? Plus being alone and nopony liking me for who I am!” Night begins to tear up.
Shimmer Shine speaks again, “Well to tell you the truth Night I never believed those rumors.”
“Well that’s one pony out of the whole school, what about you two? What do you think of me huh?! Do you two think of me as a killer?” 
“Well the fact that you’re the reason for the schools lockdown…,” one said.
“Then maybe…” said the other.
“Ohhhoh, you’re so close to see why that I am here.” Night said angered by their answer.
“Umm…Night before we tell you whatever you need,” Shimmer said, “there is something that I need to tell you…”
“What is it?” He replied quickly.
“I have always had a crush on you…I was just too shy to tell you…”
Night seems to be frozen as soon as he heard say those words…all this time he thought that nopony liked him. “You what…?”
“You what…?” the twins said.
“I love him…” she replied….
“Umm…” that was all he said before she gave him a quick kiss. 
The twins whispered to themselves.
“Thank you…but look I am sorry but I really need to get out of here…just tell me what I need to know and I will leave…”
“Ok…” said the twins and Shimmer.
“Are the rumors true of a princess visiting the castle?” Night said seriously.
The twins replied first, “No, there is no princess.”
Shimmer sighs, “Not saying this because of what I said earlier, but yes there is…can you let us go now?”
The twins became angry when she said that.
“Ok now where is she?”
“She is in the library,” Shimmer answered.
“You traitor!” yelled the twins.
“Don’t you want to leave?!” Shimmer yelled back.
“Yes!” said one twin.
“But you didn’t have to tell him,” said the other.
Both twins looked at each other and nodded, now both of them yell and charge towards Night, “For the Princess!”
After a quick flash of light the twins just fall to the ground, frozen, looking lifeless but with the last expression that they last had. 
“What…? Why Night?”
“Go get out of here, I don’t need to hurt anypony else. Especially somepony who loves me…I am sorry…just go.”
She doesn’t hesitate and leaves the classroom, but before she leaves into the hallway she looks back into the classroom, looks at Night one last time, looks down and begins to cry. “Goodbye Night,” and disappears into the hallway.
“Goodbye, Shimmer Shine.”
There he was again, all by himself, inside of a classroom with two frozen ponies, thinking about his next move. “I would expect the Princess to have a few guards huh?” he says to the frozen twins, “well I am sure that I can take care of them if they are separated…well twins what do you think?”
“Oh we are sure that you can take them Night” he said mocking the twins.
“Yeah I think so to, well that is where I am heading next, to the schools library!”
