First story so please only constructive criticism. Sorry its so short but it had to be its own chapter.

I don't own My Little Pony but I do own flyer/ Dream Flyer

The sun was setting over the army camp and the princess raised the moon. Starlight shone over the buildings and on one little fillies face. She had her hooves and nose pressed up on the glass staring in to the black night sky. "Flyer…Flyer? Flyer why are you still awake? A little filly like you should be asleep. Big day tomorrow back to school" the middle aged mare trotted over to the window.

"But mum….im scared." Tears began brimming in her amber eyes "what if I have a nightmare again?"

The mother put her wing over her child "which one? The changelings or being a 'blank flank'." You see this filly's father was part of the royal guard whose squad was in another country helping with their changeling problem.

"I keep dreaming that Dad comes home but he brings the changelings with him and they take him away again and we would be stuck here forever. We are going home soon?"

"Of course we are honey, when your father gets back well go back home and you can see your friends again." The filly just sniffled. "Is this about what that unicorn said? We are welcome here. We are part of the royal guard just as much as they are even if we are Bat Pony's. Our ancestors where brought here to help the princess and that something to be proud of. Now bed before you fall asleep here." The Grey pony walked over to the middle of the room and pulled back the covers.

"Mum, why don't I have a cutie mark? All the others do after we went to the field. They've got spears and shields and I've got nothing" she got on her bed and pulled the covers up only her eyes peeking out. "Am I meant to be a guard like dad?"

"Of course you are sweetie your cutie marks just waiting until the times right."

She walked to the door and said "good night, don't let the bed bugs bite!" smiled and left.
