Two hours after breakfast, Paint and Midnight were back in the room they slept in the previous night. Unfortunately for Paint, the meal was served in such a large amount that it took her a while to eat it.  She felt like she would vomit if she tried to race. So they decided to head back to the room so Paint could properly digest. Paint laid down on the bed as Midnight laid down next to her. Paint laid her head down and said, 
"I digest better when I'm asleep." 
Midnight let out a small chuckle as she fell asleep. Midnight decided to take a nap himself. Little did he know he was going to dream about the time before he met Paint. 
----------------------------------------A five year old Midnight was running through the halls of the castle. He just finished listening to his dad's two hour lesson about being a royal guard, his mom's five hour lecture about running a kingdom and endured his cousin's death hug. Now he wanted somepony to play with. He knocked on his brother's door. A few knocks later, his brother answered then slammed the door shut. His voice was muffled by the door,
"Go bother your sister!" 
Midnight sighed and he knocked on his sister's door. He was met with the same response. Midnight didn't know what to do. He had nopony to play with. He didn't know what to do. The last thing he wanted to do was go back to his parents or his cousin.
