//------------------------------// // Shadows // Story: Secret of Life: Change // by Cringe Queen //------------------------------// Other then that. Nothing. Only me whining. But today was the day I was going to explore the shadows. I left my room after dark. I walked to the end of the hallway. No one had gone there before really. It was too dark for anyone to see so we stayed out of it's way. I carefully stepped on the wood. If ANYONE wakes up, they will tie me to my bed for the night. "Hello," AHHHH WHAT WAS THAT? I stumbled and stood on my back hooves to see if I need to attack. No need so I returned back to normal. I'm a foot in and I'm going insane. I turned around to go back. There was a pony in front of me. And no, it wasn't my friends. The Earth pony in front of me was ALL black. Basically like Pinkie, but Jet Black. And a stallion. "Good bye, precious," he said, not moving his lips. "FALLOUT!" yelled Feather from above. The pony, evaporated? I guess. I quickly ran to my room and left my room pretending to be tired. "W-w-what happened?" I asked, rubbing my eyes with my hooves. Fallout left his room and ran upstairs. I followed him up. Of course! "Scoot came on," said Feather, sitting next to a embarrassed Scoot. "Scootaloo!" said Fallout. It's about to go down. "You know this is dangerous!" I said. Scoot looked down at her hooves. "I-I'm sorry, I knew I was going to miss you," she said. "I think I should go back to bed," I said, leaving, forgetting about my main mission. In the morning. I went upstairs, smelling some bacon. Fallout must of made breakfast. I went to the....I don't know if it has a specific name, but basically the dinning room. Where plates were filled with food. Only Fallout, Scoot, Pinkie,and Feather Quill was there. Usually I would say hello but I knew everyone would just look at me. I sat down across from Feather Quill. I stared at my food before eating."Oh come on! Stop being grumpy you guys!" said the Pink pony. In a few minutes everyone came up, surprised by our new pony. "When did she get here?" Page asked. "Last night, she hoped on. We have no clue what to do with her when we are so far away," I said. "Can't a unicorn just teleport her back?" said Skye. I shook my head. "It might be too tiring," I said with a sigh, "But you can give it a try." Skye nodded. "I will later," said Skye, sitting down. For the rest of the morning, we talked about our positions for the day. After breakfast Skye tried to send Scoot back. No glow appeared from her horn. "My magic, it's not working," said Skye looking at me. "DUN DUN DUN!" played on a piano. We all looked at Pinkie. "What?"
