A/N: Ok before I start I want to make sure every one understands. This story will be focused around my OC. The characters from the show will be involved in the story of course but I wanted to ensure that every one is on the same page. There is another issue I wanted to address as well. The main OC, Heart's Vision does not have a simple color scheme. I will TRY to describe him. If you wish to see an accurate depiction of him the story's picture and my profile picture both are him. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I do not feel I will accurately describe him. Thirdly, if you are looking for a story with sunshine and smiles look somewhere else. This story will be pretty sad. I am always open to opinions, comments, and concerns as long as they are honest so please review J

Chapter 1: New place old problems.

Heart's Vision stood at the door of his home. He was a unicorn. His mane was black except for the ends of his hairs were green. His coat was mostly white. Three green lines kept him from having a solid white coat. One line ran under his eye down his neck to his chest. Another one runs from his chest along his lower side. It continues to circle around where his cutie mark would be. The final line runs from his chest up his back into his tail. All of the lines converged into a green circle on his chest. In the center of the circle is a small black heart. His tail is black except for the green stripe that runs the center of it. "Do I have to go?"

Rose Spade was a unicorn with a white coat and long red mane that met with her knees. Her tail matched her mane in color and length. She had naturally straight hair. Her cutie mark was a small spade next to purple flower. Representing her love for gardening. "You have to go sweetie. If you don't I will get in trouble. You don't want mommy to get in trouble do you?"

Heart's Vision looked down at the tile floor. In a pitiful tone responded. "No."

"Then you have to go to school. I know you hate it but there is nothing I can do about it. I will get your bag and we are leaving."

Heart's vision continued to eye the floor. "Ok."

Rose Spade grabbed her son's saddlebag with her teeth and put it on him. It was weighed down with miscellaneous school supplies. "Hey. Look at me." Heart's vision looked into his mother's beautiful pink eyes. "It will be fine." The colt made himself smile.

Rose and Heart made their way to the school. Young ponies played with each other outside the school house. Rose led her son past them. Cheerilee opened the door about to tell the students to come in. Rose was moments from opening the door herself.

Cheerilee did not see Heart hiding behind Rose so she wondered why a grown mare she had never seen before was doing here. "Can I help you ma'am?"

Rose smiled. "Yes I have just moved to Ponyville and my son is here to attend your class."

"Where is your son?"

"He is right here." Rose looked to her right. In the corner of her eye she saw Heart's Vision hiding behind her tail. "Honey come out here and say hi."

The young unicorn stepped from behind his mother. "H-hi."

Cheerilee barely heard the colt. She was surprised by the colts appearance. She put on a smile. "Hi there I am Cheerilee. I will be your teacher. What is your name?"

Heart didn't make eye contact. "*Whisper* *Whisper*"

Cheerilee leaned closer. "I didn't quite catch that."

Heart repeated himself louder. "Heart's Vision."

Cheerilee managed to make out the name. "That is an interesting name. What kind of cutie mark do you have?"

Heart played in the dirt with his hooves. "I don't have one yet."

Cheerilee didn't miss a beat. "That is fine. There is a few students who are your age that don't have their cutie marks. You will fit right in."

Rose had questions. "Is there any paper work I need to do?"

Cheerilee looked to Rose. "There is but you can do it later. I was about to start class so unless there is anything serious I need to know I need to get started."

Rose looked down to her son. "There is one thing. My boy here is an asthmatic. Don't push him physically or he might have an attack."

"Oh. I will be careful. Don't you worry. Is that all?"

"Yeah that should be it."

"He can start Monday if you would like."

"I would like him to start now."

"I need to get the other children so if he would go sit by my desk that would be fine."

Rose looked a Heart. "Go on sweetie. I will come pick you up after school is over."

Heart's Vision went inside and stood by the desk. He could hear Cheerilee calling the students. One by one the kids came in and stared at him. Wondering who this was. It took a minute but Cheerilee came through the door after rounding up the students.

Cheerilee stood next to Heart's Vision. "Class I would like to introduce Heart's Vision. He recently moved here and I would like you all to give him a warm welcome. Before we begin do any of you have questions for him?"

Apple Bloom was the first shout something out. "Do you have your cutie mark?"

Heart's Vision saw all of the class watching him. His inside felt hollow. 'Their judging me aren't they. Waiting for me to make a mistake so they can laugh at me.'

Cheerilee encouraged the shy colt. "Go ahead and answer. It is ok."

Heart's Vision cleared his throat. "I don't have my cutie mark yet."

Apple Bloom smiled and began planning.

A blue earth pony spoke up. "What is wrong with your fur? Do you make it look like that?"

Heart was waiting for this question. "I don't do anything to my fur. This is how it grows naturally."

A grey earth pony with light blue glasses was the next to question him. "What's up with your eyes are you an albino or something?"

Heart looked at the ground to hide his red eyes. "I am not an albino. It is just a coincidence that my eyes are this color."

Cheerilee could see that this was making heart uncomfortable. She decided to end it. "That is enough for now class. Why don't you go find somewhere to sit. I don't have any spare desks so you will have sit on the floor. I will get you a desk by Monday."

Heart's Vision tried to avoid the grey and blue earth ponies. He sat on the floor where he would be part of the middle row if he had a desk. The closest pony to him was a pink earth pony wearing a tiara.

Diamond Tiara tried getting his attention. "Psst."

Heart turned to the filly.

"You know you shouldn't lie like that."

Heart was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about your fur. There is no way it grows like that. I have never seen any pony that looks similar. So who does it? Who makes you look like that? I wouldn't mind getting some work done."

"I am telling the truth. Everything about me is natural. No pony does anything to me."

"Don't give me that crap. You know what you probably lied about everything else too. I bet you're an albino. Or you're a sick pony."

Heart's Vision noticed that a few other ponies were now watching him. "What? No I am not. I'm not an albino and I'm not sick."

Diamond Tiara scoffed at him. "Whatever. Back away before I catch some of your filthy disease."

Cheerilee noticed that half of her class was not looking at her new student. "Heart's Vision! This is your first day and your already disrupting my class. Do you have to say for yourself?"

Heart was shocked. 'What? But it was her. I haven't done anything.' He knew she wouldn't believe him. "No ma'am."

"Good. I don't want to hear anything from you the rest of the day." Cheerilee resumed her lesson.

Diamond Tiara snickered.

Heart sat quietly for the remainder of school. Cheerilee finished her lesson and dismissed the class. All of the children rushed out of the class room. All but Heart. He put his saddlebag on and walked to Cheerilee. "What do you want me to do with my stuff?"

Cheerilee looked down to the colt. "You can leave them here. Monday we will put the stuff you need into your desk. Tell your mom to come here tomorrow so she can sign some papers."

"I will." Heart exited and sat down on the grass a few feet from the door.

After a few minutes Cheerilee walked through the door and locked it behind herself. "Why are you sitting out here?"

Heart looked up at his teacher. "Momma said she would come and get me after class."

"Would you like me to wait with you tell she gets here?"

"No I will be fine alone."

"Ok." She walked away to find a desk in the storage building not too far from the school house.

Heart's Vision. Sat alone for ten minutes. Then twenty. Moving on to thirty. After an hour of waiting storm clouds loomed above him. 'She forgot, again. No. Maybe she just is really busy and can't come. She is probably worried sick about me because she can't get here.' It began to rain. It was light rain due to the excellent scheduling by the Pegasus ponies. 'Better start walking. I don't want to stay out here too long.' Heart began a slow walk to his new home. Drop after drop soaked into his coat. It was quite cool outside before the rain. Now he was a little too cold for comfort. Most of his coat and mane were wet by the time he made it home.

His home was had one level and was small. Warped wood steps led to the living room. The living room walls were a faded brown. The ceiling was white with he exception for the water stains that marked large portions of it. All of the floor was done with white tiling. When entering from the front door the kitchen was to the left. The living room and kitchen were actually one big room since no doors or walls separated them. After passing through the kitchen there is a hallway. The first door on the left was a bathroom. The second door was Rose's room. At the end of the hallway was a bedroom that Heart shared with his older brother. A backdoor to the house sat across from Rose's room.

Heart's family had finished unpacking all of there things yesterday. Which wasn't much. They each had beds and some winter clothes. Their couch was placed in the living room along with a coffee table. The had some cooking and eating utensils but that was about it.

Heart Vision walked up the four steps of the stairs and entered the living room. He quickly realized that his optimism was incorrect. On the couch was Rose passed out with a open pill bottle sitting on the coffee table. 'She did forget me. I guess I am going to have to fix myself a sandwich or something for dinner.' He went to his and his brother's room. The room was fairly large for one bed room but when shared between two ponies it turned into less than an average. The wall that the door was part of was also the wall that Heart's bed was connected to. His brother's bed sat across the other side of the room. Both beds were nothing more but a single mattress laid on the floor. But heart's side of the room was empty. On the contrary his brother's had posters of bands and boxed laid at the end of the bed with miscellaneous objects like small fire crackers or an air horn. Things that Heart thought were so cool but wasn't aloud to touch or play with.

Heart's Vision only had one possession. A ball about as big as his head that was designed to be kicked around and had a tough exterior. This ball was priceless to him for two reasons. He knew he wouldn't be able to replace it if he broke it. The second reason was the main reason it was priceless to him. The ball was a gift from his father that died when he was younger. Heart laid on his bed and rolled his ball back and forth with his hooves.

A thud came from the living room. Heart lifted his head so that he could hear better. He heard hoof steps coming down the hallway. The bedroom door swung open.

A Pegasus named Fire Flash came into the room. He had a black coat with a bright red tail. His mane was red with orange tips. It was blown back making look like his head was on fire. Especial when he flew. His cutie mark was a ring of fire. Symbolizing his love in doing stunts and the extreme.

Heart's Vision smiled widely. "Bubba your home."

Fire Flash looked at his younger brother. "Of course I am. I have to sleep somewhere."

"Do you want to do something?"

"What can you and me do together?"

"I don't know. Maybe we can pass my ball back and forth?"

"No. That is so boring."

"We can play with one of your toys."

"I'm not letting you touch any of my shit."

"Well we could…"

Flash cut him off. "We aren't doing any lame idea you come up with. Now go somewhere else so I don't have to deal with you."

Heart smiled got up from his bed and brought his ball out of the room with him. "Ok. I love you bubba."

Flash rolled his eyes with a sneer on his face.

Heart's Vision went into the living room. He kicked the ball around to entertain himself. He didn't have to worry about waking Rose up. He was careful not to break anything even though there wasn't much to break. He kicked the ball around for about an hour. The sun had set and the house had grown dark. Heart had grown hungry kicked his ball into a corner before looking what food was in the kitchen. They had a black cabinet set next the entrance to the hallway. The cabinet contained a few pots and pans for cooking along with some plastic cups and plates. Most of their kitchen appliances where lined up on this wall. First the cabinet then the stove to its left. Left of the stove was a sink that was connected to a counter for preparing food. A little down the connected wall was the Refrigerator. After that the only thing that changed from dull wall was the front door.

Heart searched the fridge for food. All he found was water and dried hay. "Its better than nothing." He took a cup and plate from the cabinet and placed them on the counter.. He placed some of the hay on the plate and placed on the plate on the coffee table. He went back to the fridge and took the pitcher of water in his mouth. The pitcher was full and heavy to him. It wobbled as he poured the water into his cup.

Fire Flash entered the kitchen from the hallway. Flash saw what his brother was doing and a wicked grin grew on his face. He snuck up behind his brother. "HEY." Flash slammed a hoof into his brother's back.

Heart was startled by the hey and dropped the pitcher of water. The pitcher didn't break as it the floor but water flowed all over the floor. When the hoof hit his back Heart's face slammed into the counter. It did not break his nose but blood tricked from it. He lat out a yelp in pain. He began to wail "Ahh why did you do that?"

Fire Flash looked to Rose. She was still passed out the couch. Flash didn't notice the pill bottle on the coffee table before now. He let out sigh of relief. Fire Flash whining voice grinded on his nerves. "SHUT UP you little shit!"

Heart stopped wailing but tears streaked down his face and mixed with his blood. He looked to his big brother.

Fire Flash looked at the floor and then to the crying colt. "Clean all of this water up. You should have had a better grip on it."

"What about my nose?"

"Hold some paper towels to it tell it stops. If you say anything to mom about this I'll ring your neck. Got it?"

Heart nodded then took some paper towels from the back of the counter and threw some on the floor. He then held some up to his nose.

"Good. I am going to find somewhere to eat. I know we don't have anything good to eat here." Flash was at the door when he stopped and turned to his sleeping mother. He walked over to the pill bottle and took a few pills out before leaving his brother to clean up the mess he had caused.

Heart waited for his nose to stop bleeding before cleaning all the water off the floor. 'It stop bleeding but it still feels funny. I will go look at it in the mirror.' He went to the bathroom and examined himself in the mirror. His nose had no marks but his fur around it was brown. He washed it over and over again. Eventually it looked normal. If he looked really hard he could tell it was a different color but no pony else would know better. 'I should have held onto that pitcher better. Bubba just wanted to give me a friendly scare but I ruined it by being clumsy.' Heart hit himself with his right for hoof. "Stupid." Heart ate his food then retrieved his ball before laying down in his bed. 'Bubba and I will play tomorrow. I can make up for being so dumb.' He drifted to sleep.

Heart woke up to his mom shaking him lightly.

Rose had a smiled and talked in a soothing tone. "You have to wake up sweetie."

Heart groaned. "Why? I don't have school tell Monday."

"We have to go somewhere. I will explain after you get ready. Meet me in the living room after you take a shower." Rose left the room.

"Uughh." Heart got up. He saw Flash sleeping. He could also hear Flash's snoring. Heart lumbered into the bathroom. He looked like a zombie. After showering and combing his mane he went to the living room to look for Rose.

Rose sat on the couch with a cup of coffee. "We don't have much time. I will explain on our way there." Rose set her coffee down and headed for the door

Heart was hoping to stay home and play today. "Huh? Where are we going?"

"We are going to the library." She exited through the door. "Now come on."

"*Sigh* Fine." Heart caught up with Rose. "Why are we going?"

Rose Spade walked and talked. "Well after I dropped you off at school I thought that I would get you a book to read. The librarian there tried to help me find a book. I told her about how you love learning new things and we started talking about magic. I told her how you were supposed to start learning about it before we moved and she offered to teach you. We're here."

Heart looked at the huge tree. "This is the library?"

"Yes it is. I think it is such a beautiful tree. Don't you?"

Heart didn't really find beauty in nature but knew his mom did. "Yeah it is real pretty."

Rose walked up to the door and knocked twice.

After a minute passed a purple alicorn answered the door. "Hi Rose Spade. How are you?"

Rose gave a polite smile and bowed. "I'm fine. How are you princess?"

"I am doing quite well." Twilight looked down at Heart's Vision. "What is your name?"

Heart looked up to Rose. Rose gestured with her head towards Twilight. "Go on sweetie. Introduce yourself."

Heart looked at Twilight. "My name is Heart's Vision."

"What an interesting name."

Rose got Twilight's attention. "I wanted to know a few things about how your going to teach him. Will this be a regular thing and if so how often?"

Twilight had thought about this before hand. "It is up to you. We can make it a weekly event if you would like. You can come by and drop him off every Saturday."

"That would be great. Are you busy today?"

"Not at all. I am free if you would like you can leave him here and I can begin teaching him."

"Sounds like a plan." Rose looked down to Heart. "I am going to leave you with ms Sparkle. You behave for her. Once your done you can walk home. You do know the way home right?"

Heart nodded his head. "I will behave and I know the way home."

Rose left towards home. Twilight gestured for Heart to come in. "Come in. I normally have my assistant make snacks but he is away right now."

The colt walked into the library. The tree was well lit. He could see the large amount of books stacked on the shelves. "You said that you would teach me but what exactly will you be teaching me?"

Twilight levitated a book from the top shelf. "I will be teaching you how to use your magic. The first thing I will teach you is a levitation spell. This book is a beginner spell book. Our first goal it to learn every spell in this book."

"How many spells are in it?"

"It has one hundred novice spells."

"That it a lot of spells."

"I don't expect you to learn them overnight. It will probably take you weeks to learn the levitation spell. How about we get started."

Heart wasn't sure about this. "I guess."

Twilight placed the book on the floor. "Ok. I want you to try to lift this book with your magic."

Heart looked at the book. He focused on it. It tried as hard as he could. Sparks shot out of his horn but the book did not move. "I can't"

Twilight reassured him. "I didn't expect you to. I just wanted to make sure. Now when you do it this time I want you to not focus on the book. I want you to focus on your core. I want you to imagine an energy flowing through your body. Then I want you to channel that energy through your horn. Use that to lift the book."

"Ok." Heart closed his eyes. He imagined a raw energy flowing through his body as Twilight told him to. Then he imagined it going through his horn and lifting the book.

Twilight made her way next to the colt. She whispered in his ear. "Open your eyes."

Heart opened his eye to see the book flouting three feet above the floor. He had a wide smile. His magic aura was jet black. He made it wave back and forth in the air. "Ha. I did it. I did it princess."

"I see. Put it down now. Do it gentle. And don't call me princess. Call me Twilight."

Heart levitated it down. It wasn't very steady though. It wobbled and speed up and slowed down randomly. It reached the floor with a light thud. "I can't believe I did that. It was so cool."

"I am even surprised you did it. I thought it would take weeks for you to learn it. I have never seen any pony learn so fast and I have never seen a black aura color."

"Momma always says that I am a fast learner."

"She said you were but I didn't expect this. You learned the spell faster than I did and my cutie mark represents my skill with magic. Who knows you might have one as well."

Heart didn't believe he had gotten his cutie mark but checked his flank to be sure. Unfortunately he was right. His flank was blank except for his coat pattern.

Twilight gave him a pat on the back. "It is ok. You will find your talent one day."

Heart's Vision thought to himself. 'It doesn't matter. Al it is a dumb picture on my flank. There is more important problems in this world.'

A/N: Well that is the first chapter. I am not that great at beginnings but I hope you enjoyed. Thank you DLB for helping me with this story. Tell next time have a great day/night. And don't forget to review! J
