"TIME TO GET UP EVERYPONY!" Daniel, and the CMCs jumped at the loud out burst. "Y'all gonna be late for school." Daniel yawned and rubbed his eyes. He crawled out of Nyx's sleeping bag. The time it took him to get up, Nyx was already awake and ready.
"You coming Daniel?"
"Yeah just a moment." Daniel rolled up the sleeping bag and tucked it in its case neatly. "Thanks Daniel," said Nyx.
"No problem." Daniel and Nyx exited the clubhouse.
"Hurry up, breakfast is getting cold," Applejack announced. "You don't look familiar. What's your name?" Applejack had stopped Daniel in his tracks. Daniel looked up at the taller pony.
"Me? My name is Daniel, I'm uh..."
"He's a new friend from our school," Nyx interrupted. "We invited him to the slumber party."
"There wasn't any funny business was there?" Nyx and Daniel blushed and shook there heads.
"No, no there wasn't."
"All right then, go on and get you breakfast." Daniel swore that Applejack was glaring at him the whole way in(like I said, nothing happened naughty people). Nyx and Daniel walked to the back of the barn. All their friends were eating at the table. He couldn't even list off how much stuff was there. Apple pie, apple pancakes, apple cider, etc. as well as the apple family themselves. Daniel stared in awe. "Well are you going to eat that or just stare." Daniel sat down and dug in. "You sure can eat for such a little pony."
"This is so good, I have never tasted anything like it." Applejack chuckled as the black filly devoured food platefuls at a time.
"Your appetite rivals Pinkie Pie's by quite a bit."
"Pinkie who?"
"Where exactly are you from?"
"Uh..."
"You have never heard of Pinkie Pie? She hosts the most fantastic parties in all of Equestria if not all of them." Applejack's 'where exactly are you from question was rhetorical to Daniels relief, so she didn't expect an answer

"Got everything Apple bloom?"
"Yup, thanks big sis."
"Come on y'all let's go." A wagon pulled up with a some school fillies talking and playing. Nyx, Danial, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle, hopped into the wagon. The three stallions in the front galloped at full speed. Two fillies in the back were throwing a ball back and forth to each other. Daniel sat in a sit with Nyx. A few minutes later he felt something rubber hit him in the back of the head.
"Hey!" but when Daniel turned the fillies seemed as if they had not done anything else... except when they burst out laughing a few seconds later.
"Those two like to just be annoying. Just ignore them," Nyx advised. Daniel grumbled under his breath. He saw in the a reflection of a metal bar holding that was holding the wagon up, that the two were readying another shot. Daniel watched them throw the ball towards him, but instead of hitting him, he ducked down and the ball passed over. Daniel lifted his head up and turned towards the two fillies. They pointed towards each other cowering. The ball bounced off the other side of the wagon and hit Daniel in the back of his head again. The two fillies burst out laughing. Daniel picked up the ball with is magic and hurled it at them at high speed. They dodged it and watched it go back and get skewered by his horn. They tightened their lips together trying not to laugh but failed miserably. Daniel however was not amused. He slouched in his chair so his head was below the top of the chair. Nyx used her magic and took the deflated ball of his horn.
"So far things aren't going so well for me." Nyx was toying with the rubber turning it into a solid rubber bouncy ball.
"I told you to ignore them." She passed the rubber ball to Daniel. He bounced it against the floor of the wagon watching it go up and down. Up, down, up, down... "Hey Daniel. Look what my teacher gave me," a little boy ran towards Daniel on two legs. He was holding out a red bouncy ball.
"Wow, that looks really nice Luke. How did you get it?"
"Well since it is my birthday today I get a toy from the present box."
"Well isn't that nice right Daniel?"
"Yeah sure, whatever mom..."
"Daniel, Daniel, Daniel..." Daniel snapped out of his trance breathing heavily. "Daniel! We are at the school. Are you okay?" Nyx said.
"Yeah yeah, I'm fine," Daniel said shakily.
