Chapter 1:

"RAAAAAUGH!"

SMASSSSSH.

Mic Sterling quickly turned and jolted to the closed door where the commotion had originated. He cautiously knocked on the door. "Um…Neo, you okay in there?" He quickly slid back about 4 feet, he knew me too well.

The door slammed open and I, Neon Dream, using my horn, threw a book on the floor. Then I picked it up and did it again. And again, and again. Mic watched with a semi amused expression, which I realized right away.

"What?" Boy, was I upset. Mic walked to the book and picked it up with his mouth, then he placed it on the table. The book was studied for about a minute before he said, "Twilight Sparkle won't be happy when you return this."

"It's not her book." I angrily muttered.

Mic was officially interested. With a raised eye brow he started flipping through the pages. Inside the book were different talents that could be learned. He quickly scanned multiple ones until he found one that would make sense of all the noise.

"Teleportation?" He shoved the book closed with his nose and walked back over to her. "You already know teleportation."

"Not that one." I said with a voice that sounded much more upset then I meant it to. I suddenly hopped up and had my incredibly serious face on, but if you saw it, there was no way you could take it seriously. I know this now. Mic bit his lip to keep himself from offending me. "It'll teach me to teleport away. Way away. Like, another universe away." Now it all made sense.

Here, let me make sense of all this.

I'm new to Ponyville. Actually, I'm new to everything, even Equestria. I woke up two months ago about half a mile outside Ponyville without a single memory of my past. I had no trouble figuring out what I could do in Ponyville, though. I love to write, to make things up, to tell stories. Within my first month here, I was beginning to run Ponyville Theater. I needed help, of course. Somepony to build props, assist, etc. I ended up hiring Mic Sterling, the most accident-prone colt I've ever met. It's not his fault either. He isn't a klutz or anything, the weirdest things just seem to happen to him for no reason. A popular one is lighting. He used to have to keep light on his hooves and jump around to avoid lighting constantly. Fortunately, I got to meet Princess Celestia and I informed her of his problem. She gave Mic a special gem that he has to carry around where he goes to keep the lighting away. Oh, another thing about Mic, he has no cutiemark. Even I have a cutiemark, even though I don't know what it's for. Mic's got nothin'. He's been fired from every job he's ever gotten, except for the one here with me, poor guy. Anyway, we've only been working together for a little over a month and I already don't know what I'd do without him. I am positive that there is nopony in Ponyville who works harder than my Mic.

Continuing with my story, Mic gave me back the book and wished me luck before he went back to polishing the stage floor. With his headphones on, rock music emanating from them, and an occasional dance move; he worked swiftly and quickly. Nopony I know works like Mic. Sometimes it's funny to just sit and watch.

"Raugh!"

CRASSSSH!

"Urgh…" Again, I am alone in the room, picking myself up from crashing into the wall. "Stupid…book…" I winced from the pain in my back leg that I've landed on five times. "I've just gotta do it…I just…" I laid down. "I have to know who I was…"

Basicly, after I got situated in Ponyville, I asked around to see if anypony knew me. Nopony knew me. Nopony had ever heard of me. The Princesses and nopony they knew had ever heard of me. Also, I have these light blue highlights in my hair. I didn't get my hair highlighted and I know I didn't get them highlighted before. How do I know? Well, maybe I'm just too new at life to know better, but, last time I checked highlighted hair doesn't glow.

It happened once for about two seconds when I got really mad at this one colt. He was acting like he was all that and stuff and was demanding things like a "special seat"- nopony could sit near him, he insulted Mic after he accidently burned my blueprints of a new prop (Worry not, it was only a copy.), then he had the gall to mock my highlights! I was furious. Mic was totally surprised at me when I completely flipped my lid on him and my hair glowed. According to Mic, my eyes glowed too. Not so sure what that was all about, but it got me even more interested into my past.

"Okay, once more."

BANNNG!

"Oooo…" Mic responded sitting outside the door. He had finished the work assigned to him and was patiently waiting for her fight with the wall to end. At last, it did. Mic opened the door to see Neon lying on her back, panting.

"Heeeey…Miiiic…" I managed to say between pants.

"Letter for you." Said as he flung it my way. Too tired to get up, I used my horn to catch it and read it quickly. It was a letter that told the secret to learning the teleportation talent! "THAT'S WHERE I WENT WRONG!" My sudden outburst startled Mic. With sudden new found energy, I hopped up and practiced it once more. But this time instead of colliding with a wall I froze. In mid air!

I landed on my feet. I couldn't believe it. "It works…"

"But you're still here…" Mic mentioned confused.

"Oh, I wasn't trying to do it now. I've been testing to see if I'm able to do it. Before I actually go, I'd like to say good bye to everypony and make sure things 'll run well here without me." Neon trots around the room explaining.
