This tells how I, Sol Shooter, was kicked out of house and home in Canterlot by my father for getting expelled. My mother slipped me a letter that said to go to Ponyville and stay at Rarity's until she is able to get me back home. Rarity, with whom my mother was a friend and customer, allowed me to stay until Mother says it's safe to come home. What will happen here in this small town? How long will I be staying here? Will I want to leave? You will find the answers in this short story.

An entry for SFNW's October contest.

(This is set two years before the end of S3. I have the Alternate Universe tag as it's not set in the universe the show is set in, but a similar universe.)

Today is a very special day for Midnight Legend. Not only because it's his birthday, but it is his first birthday in his new home, the town of Ponyville. To celebrate, Twilight Sparkle, with the aid of a mysterious ally, decide to stall him until sunset, where they would surprise him. But will they stall him long enough or will he see through their ruse?

If you have constructive criticism about anything in the story (grammar, spelling, etc.), please don't be afraid to post a comment.
