Twilight's POV

Scared
That's how I felt
I was walking to school from Erudite headquarters, which isn't that far of a walk. Today was the day I had to take a test, but not just any test because as the Erudite that I am, I would be so happy and excited for a test. No, this is a different kind of test, the Aptitude Test. 
The Aptitude  Test was the test that would tell me what faction I belong in. Would it be Amity, the peaceful. They live out in the farms and are always happy and smiling. They wear red and yellow to represent how happy they are. Candor the honest, are the ones that tell the truth. They like law and order. They wear white and black to represent a truth from a lie. Abnegation the selfless, help only others and forget about themselves. They help the factionless by giving them food and clothing. They wear grey and put their mane and tails in buns to draw less attention to themselves. Dauntless the brave, are the soldiers They protect are city from harm and are always doing something crazy. They wear black to represent bravery and courage. 
Two of my friends, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were born in Dauntless. They both don't act like the rest of the Dauntless, although Rainbow does enjoy the reckless behavior a little more than Fluttershy. All of my other friends are outcasts too. There's Pinkie Pie, an abnegation born who acts nothing like abnegation. She is always drawing attention to herself with her streamers and balloons. Applejack, amity born doesn't have a big goofy grin on her face all the time and doesn't go around becoming friends with everypony she meets. Rarity, candor born hates the black and white clothes that she has to wear. She says that it's hideous and their is no way of telling the pony's personality from them. I however, am from Erudite, the intelligent. We wear blue and create serums for the factions and the tests, as well as teach at the school. I hope that one day, I can teach at the school. It has always been a dream of mine. 
As I walk closer to the school, I start to walk slower and slower and get dizzier and dizzier. I'm scared that the test will tell me that I don't belong in Erudite. I don't want to cause the same pain to my family when my brother, Shining Armor chose Dauntless. I have to be loyal to my faction and my family, I have too. 
Once I finally got to the school, I walk over to my classroom and sit down. I always like to get to class early to get all of my stuff ready. I started to relax. The test wasn't until the end of the day and learning always calms me down. Also, the Dauntless were about to arrive. I could see two faint lights in the distance, coming towards us at top speed. I felt a smile come across my face. Whenever I watch the Dauntless jump off that train, it makes me feel brave. Like, I could do that too but I never told anyone. I was afraid about what they might say. Applejack came in and sat to my left. She was wearing a red T-shirt and yellow jeans, something Rarity would complain about. I could tell she was scared as well. 'I wonder if everybody else is feeling this way' I thought. I turn around and sure enough, everypony is making a similar face to Applejack's. Pinkie Pie skipped in looking as happy as ever. She had  big smile on her face. She must be excited for the secret sleepover we are having today. We still haven't decided who's faction to have it at. We just can't have it at Amity or Dauntless. Applejack says that Amity wouldn't be to happy if a Dauntless was present on its compound, ad Rainbow Dash is still mad over what happened last time. Apparently, other faction members aren't allowed in Dauntless compound or any compound. We can't do Erudite, now that I think about it. My parents hate breaking the rules and would never agree to have my friends over. Plus I don't think my friends could pass as Erudite. Abnegation would be the easiest to do. Rarity says if you are caught lying in or as a Candor, there are horrible consequences. I lean over to Pinkie Pie, who sat on my right and whisper.
"I think we should do the sleepover at your house tonight. Abnegation seems like the best option".
"Yay!" she replied. "I will give you all your clothes after the Amplitude Test! Let's meet in the front of the school!" The Test. I almost forgot. Luckily, the Dauntless were arriving. I turned my head toward the window just as Rarity walked in. As the train was approaching, I could see ponies jumping out of the train car and onto the grass, some with ropes around their waist and other with little bands around their horns. Then I saw a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane jump out. Rainbow Dash. She was wearing black jeans with a black tank and a black jacket. Then I saw a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane fly out of the train car. Fluttershy. She was wearing black shorts with a black shirt and jacket. She didn't like jumping out of a train car so she flew. Though Rainbow thought the best part about being Dauntless was the train, soon joined Fluttershy in the sky.
