It was a beautiful day in outer Equestria. Near the everfree forest that was not in anyone's knowledge there lived 2 alicorns. They were both the same size as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. One was a green mare with a silky gold mane and tail and gold eyes. She had a flower blooming for her cutie mark. Her name is Wildflower. The other was a grey stallion with a messy brick red mane and tail and brick red eyes. He had a cutie mark of water droplets. His name was Thundershower. They were on their way to the hospital, Wildflower was pregnant and was about to have a foal. The pair were nervous about the arrival of their foal. Not because of how many things and ponies would kill to get to a newborn alicorn's huge amount of untapped magic, but because every time Thundershower did a health check on the baby her would keep detecting something...different about the foal, very,very, different. They entered the hospital and Wildflower was brought to a hospital room. "Don't worry, i'm sure it will be fine, my wife," said Thunderstorm in his normal calm but deep voice to her wife as she entered the room. After a half an hour the nurse came out and told Thunderstorm he could see his wife and the foal would be ready shortly. "Ohh, hello Thunderstorm," Wildflower said in her normal gentle voice. She noticed the worry in her husband's eyes. "Don't worry, the doctor didn't seemed concerned," she said. Just than the nurse came in with their baby in her arms. "It's a filly, , thankfully it's in perfect health," the nurse said as handed the sleeping mini alicorn foal to her mother. She was wrapped in a pink blanket. She was a dark violet alicorn with a dark blue mane and tail. Her wings and horn are tiny as they should be. Wildflower gasped "She's perfect,". "Yes, she is very lovely. What do you want to call her?," Thundershower said smiling. "Hmmmm, how about… Midnight," Wildflower said. "Midnight… Midnight… Midnight Glitz… that's the perfect name for her, let's get her to our new home and to bed, she's going to have to rest for a while," They left the hospital packed up their things and flew to their new home. It was another cottage in a certain,safe part of the everfree forest, near ponyville. Then they unpacked their bags and put Midnight into a crib, she was already asleep so they turned off the lights. "Goodnight Midnight, beautiful Midnight," said Wildflower.
It had been a month since Midnight was born she had remained in her crib, sleeping. But now she had sleepily opened her pupil only eyes. Wildflower and Thundershower had been there so she could see them. "M-Mommy…..Daddy," she said in a shaky high voice. Her first words. "Yes," said her father. "Come here sweetie," Wildflower said. Midnight got up shakily and walked over to where her mother was pointing. She was pointing out the window at farthest right star below the full moon. It was the brightest star in the night, brighter than the moon light. "That's the bright star it's made of all of the ghosts of our family when they pass on, protecting and watching over us. Whenever you feel lonely just remember it. "Wow," Midnight said in awe of the star. Just then there was a noise and a small newborn bunny flew through the window and into Midnight's whooves. The three looked down and saw it's parents. "I'm sorry, we just can't take care of him anymore, could you please take care of him?," The mother sad. Midnight nodded. "Good, thank you, his name is Rocket, Rocket Fluff, goodbye, and good luck," said the father. Midnight lied back down and put the tiny bunny down beside her. "It's been a long day go on to bed my beautiful wife I shall take care of the child down her," he said as he did his favorite pose crossed front hooves and standing up straight. Wildflower walked back upstairs, while Thundershower rocked the crib and sang a lullaby to Midnight.
The bright star in the night
It can show you the way
Where magic and love never ends
The bright star in the night
Shines with the light that's rare
And if it's comfort you need it will give you that there
Midnight and rocket fell asleep Thundershower kissed her daughter and said his goodnight and went upstairs to his and his wife's room.
It was a bright sunset in the everfree forest. it had been 2 months since Midnight was born. Midnight had grown a lot since she was born she had grown from the size of a baby foal (like the baby cake) to the size as of an average school-aged foal (like the CMC), also her speaking had advanced to fairly well considering being 2-months old. "Thundershower, do you know what today is?," Wildflower said. Thundershower nodded. "Yes, today Midnight will really … start living her life. She's been sleeping for the last 2 months. So today she sould be strong enough to leave the crib and play with rocket.," He said. Little did he know that a black alicorn with red eyes and a red flowing mane and tail was coming for them with an army of black clouds with glowing red eyes. The black clouds bursted through their door and knocked Midnight out of the crib. She saw the danger and started running with Rocket on her back. "Midnight,what are those things chasing us," said Rocket in his own young boy voice. "I don't know Rocket, but I doubt their good," said Midnight in her own young girl voice, it was a little scratchy (It's like Scootaloo's voice but slightly deeper, just enough to tell the difference between the 2 voices). Her parents heard them and raced down the stairs. "Hello, you 2 how are you, it's been a long time , now I want revenge," said the black alicorn. "Darkendside!Don't look in her eyes if you do you'll see your worst nightmares while she and her nightmare clouds feeds off your fear for it, oh, and don't let the nightmare clouds touch you either or they'll eat you whole," Wildflower said angrily. "I'll distract them, you get Midnight and rocket to their room, now," she said. Thundershower nodded and grabbed Midnight and Rocket and flew with them on her back. He raced upstairs with the clouds chasing him, he was running towards a wall! "Daddy were gonna crash!," Midnight cried. "No we won't just closed you eyes and hope that we don't crash but they do," Thundershower said. Midnight did just that. To her and Rocket's shock they didn't crash into it they went through it. On the other side was a large bedroom with alot of windows but it was dark out now. The clouds smashed into the wall while Midnight jumped off her back. Thundershower giggled a bit while when he heard the clouds hit the wall. "Typical nightmare clouds," he said to himself. Then he turned to his frightened daughter and the scared black bunny on her back. "Now to you Midnight, you're safe now," he said gently. Midnight sniffled. "i-I am?," she said. "Yes, I promise you are, the door is closed nothing outside can hurt you," her father reassured her. "What is this place?" Midnight asked. "This is your room, you opened and closed it with your mind, you're the only one who can open it," her father explained. "Daddy, what am I?," Midnight asked. Thundershower was silent for a second he knew the day had come where he would have to tell her daughter what she really was, why she was so different than any other foal. "Uh, you're a filly, technically," he said. "Technically?" Midnight repeated out of confusion. "You were, brought to life in your mother by the love her and I have for each other, it wasn't me, I don't understand it either but that's how it happened," Thundershower explained. "Love, that's what brought me to life? But then what am I supposed to be?!" Midnight asked crying again. "It's okay, shhh, you can be whatever you want to be,in fact we've even arranged for you to play outside soon just when those saddlebags by the shelf and if anyone asks your name is Twinkle," he said. Midnight giggled "Okay, got it," she said. "that's my girl, now my and your mother have to go take care of that darkness," he said as he used his magic to levitate Midnight and Rocket on the bed and sang them a different lullaby.
My star at night
that's what you are to me
My star at night
That's what you are to me
I could see the one that was right there in front of me
I turn my back have my mind off track now
I saw a filly that was something new entirely
Helped me to see all the possibilities
Like the moon in the day time
Or like the sun at night
You're light was hidden from my sight
My star at night
That's what you are to me
My star at night
That's what you are to me
Ever filly is tested
You say you're sincere
But it's all unclear now
But with the word everything changes
And just like that
You and I are right back
Like the moon in the day time
Or like the sun at night
Your light will shine when the time is right
My star at night
That's what you are to me
My star at night
That's what you are to me
When I put my hoof out
And I thought I would fall
You know what I needed
And you came around to fix it all
My star at night
That's what you are to me
My star at night
That's what you are to me
Midnight and Rocket were fast asleep. Thundershower quietly used his magic to open the window and flew out. the two alicorns fought the darkness. They both used their magic to cast a spell that would lock the darkness in the bright star. It worked but not before the dark cloud could take one more hit at the parents and the cloud succeed and the parents fell to the ground before the darkness went in the star. Midnight and Rocket woke up and looked outside to see their parents lying on the floor with some squirrels. "It's a really shame I'm afraid they're dead. Midnight and Rocket gasped. Midnight fell on the bed and started crying while Rocket tried to comfort her. Then the star shimmered and Midnight heard it she got up and looked at the star. "Uh,Midnight are you okay," Rocket asked. "Yah, I know they're still watching me from the bright star even if I can't see them," she said. Then she turned back to her bunny. "We should get some sleep if we're gonna go outside tomorrow," she said. "Ya, okay," Rocket said. The two children jumped into bed. "Goodnight, Midnight," Rocket said. "Night, Rocket," Midnight said. The two fell fast asleep.
