On a grassy hill to the east of Ponyville a lonely blue pegasus is setting up her gear for a peaceful and quiet all night stargazing session, while the full moon already stands in its zenith
"It's a lovely night for stargazing no cloud blocking the sky and I slept the whole day, so nothing stops me from enjoying the night. Except my stupid brain, which constantly reminds me of those stupid things like keeping contact with my former room mate and best friend or how I stay alive for another month. As if it's my fault our society is day centred and that no one has use for a night owl like me. One just has to wonder what happened." Jerra said quietly as she slowly drifted away into her memories. [I lost most of my friends to the distance between cities some moved to a different city and the rest were left behind when my mother and me moved from Manehatten to Ponyville. I still remember the adventure that made me discover my love for electronic music. My best friend and I snuck into a nightclub and I was instantly mesmerized by the lights as I lost my senses to the music and the melodic movement of the DJ to the beat. It took my friend twenty minutes to get my attention and that only worked because he dragged me to an booth on the other side of the club at first I didn't understand why he wanted to take a seat since we both were bursting with energy until I noticed the grey earth pony ,we shared the booth with. She looked so elegant and classy with her bow tie, just by looking at her you could tell it was her first time in an club like this. (I only realised with whom we were sitting in that booth three weeks later as my mother dragged me to the last concert in Manehatten of the Canterlot Orchestra in which she was playing the Cello) I wonder how that crazy grey unicorn, I called best friend, is doing these days.] A sudden flash ripped Jerra out of her thoughts she then looked to the sky to look for the source of the flash and it didn't take long to find it since it was clearly a pony, a pony that was about to crash in her precious telescope [Come on Jerra now is not the moment to just stand here get in the air and catch the idiot before your equipment is destroyed!] She was already on the move, while that thought occurred to her and she managed to slow the falling Pony down and crash land with him in her hoofs only two meters away from her stuff.
The Gray unicorn was the first to regain his senses or rather being snapped awake by the landing, shortly followed by the blue pegasus. After seeing her awake the unicorn said "Thanks for saving my flank Miss Hearthfire."
The blue pegasus responded "You're welcome. Wait how the buck do you know my last name?"
His answer was quite unexpected for the blue one "Come on Jerra. You can't tell me you forgot your best friend after mere two years."
Jerra rapidly blinked for a moment and asked "Si-Silver is that really you?"
"Yep, the one and only! Silver Lining." The Gray stallion exclaimed playfully.
"What in Equestria happened to you? Wasn't your mane colour dark blonde and more curly than spiky?" She asked.
"You know the usual procedure being kicked out of school for being too lose on the rules then killing time with other means like music and using magic to experiment with different mane styles and colours and finally travelling around looking up old friends. By the way did you know that both Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody live here in Ponyville, awesome right?" He stated nonchalantly.
In a light shock the pegasus stammered "It...is...cool, but how did you manage to get kicked out of that junkyard of school? I mean everypony there was breaking the rules on an daily basis and no Pony ever got any trouble! Wait you didn't hurt somepony, did you?"
"Well no pony got hurt but still they could not laugh about the small chalk dust explosion I caused." He said guiltily.
"Let me get this straight you caused an explosion and you didn't expect to get expelled for it. That was more than stupid what would you have done if somepony was hurt or if you were hurt?"
"I would have faced every consequence, if that had happened. But it wasn't all bad. I got my cutie mark because of it and if you haven't noticed it's a card of jack with every colour of an regular card game and a chaos star in the middle." He said in an attempt to calm his friend down.
"That's nice and all, but what reason could you possibly have to become the Pony version of Discord! I don't see the Pony from back then in front of me." Tears beginning to fall as she spoke these words.
"I know I can't undo what I did, but ..." He began but was cut off by her.
"No buts, buddy. There's nothing you could say to change the fact that you aren't the same anymore." Slightly dropping to her knees and crying a bit harder. Thanks to the bit of moonlight that's left her tears seem like silvery streaks running down her face.
Every tear hurting him and every little sob feeding his guilt more, but he still does his best to keep his composure as he reassures her. "I know that and I admit that I changed a lot, but the last thing I want to say to you is that I'll promise you to never do anything chaos related ever again and Luna be my witness if I ever do it again I shall lose my horn! But please stop crying and smile again, okay?"
"I will stop crying and I'm willing to give you a second chance you were my best friend after all, but you better not expect me to go easy on you just because of that."
"I wouldn't even dream about you going easy on me and if you want to punish me go ahead I won't complain."
"Please don't get my hopes up and besides I could use the help of a friend myself. So will you be there when I need you?" She asks as the last of her tears twinkles in the light of the rising sun.
AN: I hope it was enjoyable and questions and sugestions are welcome.
