A New Mind

by Mechan Anical

Sequel to story: 6 for 6. Why? This simple question is three letters that spans to an infinite amount of possibilities. A complex answer could bring the question up over and over due to an answer, and, frankly, when asked too many times, gets pretty annoying. With every step taken, a new reality awakens, and with every door opened, a new threat can appear. This is how we move on.

6. false guilt

Hello once more! Have any of you noticed my streak? One chapter per day. Of course this can't stay forever. I have other things I must attend to. Chapter four was a close one. Anyway, my streak is strong. When school restarts: then I will probably not get a chapter per day. Ya know, homework. Also, I have karate later in the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And scout meetings on Wednesday at night. So ya, I'll be busy later. That's why I decided to use shorter chapters. Also, I still need reviews. You'd think all the people who read my last story would like to read the sequel. I don't know. Just review! It makes me wanna write more!

FireBreath5150: There is a reason they are the COMMON douchfaggle.

Rainbowdashbrony: You aren't supposed to find out yet. Thanks you for le review, though!

ShiningShadow1965:FYI you keep, in reviews, calling him night wing when it's night waves, no biggy, though. Yes he is justified! Trouble? This is trollestia we're talking about.

What do yall say we get to le story?

I sat in a white room. There was a bed, a table, and some chairs. There was mechanical equipment that I had no idea how it worked, but it wasn't my job to. I looked down at the cyan pony lying in the bed. A mask was hooded up to her face. Ya know, the ones that steady breathing. She was supposed to have bandages all over her torso, but I wasn't allowed to remove the blanket covering her. I would have gotten bored, but my mind and heart kept me feeling guilty. The longer I watched the more I felt guilty.

If I hadn't just left that thunder alone, not only would Dash stay out of trouble, but I'm sure Pinkie and vinyl have some sort of trouble now. It was dark out now. I went over to a window that stood in the wall on the other side of the room. Singing usually helps to calm my nerves.

"No one knows what it's like to be the bad one. To be the sad one. Behind blue eyes.

No one knows what it's like, to be hated. To be faded, to telling only lies.

But my dreams, they are as empty as my conscious seems to be.

I have hours only lonely, my love is vengeance that is never free.

No one knows what it's like, to feel these feelings. Like I do, and I blame you.

Know one backs back as hard on their anger. None of my pain and woe, can show through.

But my dreams, they are as empty as my conscious seems to be.

I have hours only lonely, my love is vengeance that is never free.

When my hoof clenches, crack it open! Before I use it and lose my cool.

When I smile tell me some bad news, tell me some bad news, before I laugh and look like a fool.

And if swallow anything evil, put your hoof down my throat.

And If I shiver, please give me a fat kid. Keep me warm, let me wear your coat.

No one knows what it's like. To be the bad one. To be the sad one.

Behind blue eyes,"

I stood and kept staring out at the night sky.

"I Know what it's like," I heard a familiar voice. I turned to see the one and only, Pinkie Pie. "I'm hated by some. I try my best, but it doesn't just change cause you want it to. You need to push on through, move on, and stop caring about a pony that doesn't care about you,"

words of wisdom. "How did you know I was here?" I asked.

"I'm Pinkie Pie," she answered. I nodded.

"You know, I didn't want to have to do this. The first day I get here, I almost impale some colts head. You do know it's my fault rainbow Is like this. Right?" I ask.

"Care to elaborate?" she asked. I nodded again.

"My presence just made him mad. If I wasn't there, she wouldn't have had that happen,"

"Listen, he had a few too many tonight. Drinks bring out the worst in people," she said.

"No, I bring out the worst in people," I answer. Pinkie looked at me like she was getting tired of-

"Stop. I'm tired of that attitude," yep. "You need to stop blaming yourself for everything, Night. You are not the root of all problems," we waited in silence as that stirred in my head. "You saved my friend today. Ya know, no pony ever stood up to him, sober or not. That's the only reason people stared at you back there. You did something everypony never would. Well, except for dash. She joined in after you. But, she would have anyway,"

"I never did tell you about where my problems started. Why I left my home when I was six to travel,"

she just stared at me. She gave a sympathetic smile. "Not now. We still have a lot of party to get to. Don't worry, dash will be in good hoofs here," I smiled.

"How do you always know the right thing to say at the right time?" I asked. She looked at me as we started to walk out of the room.

"I'm Pinkie Pie," she said. I just laughed. We left to get back to the party.

Rainbow Dash peered open an eye. She smiled. "This'll be just like a long nap," she said. She then tried to fall asleep. She then opened her eyes. "Ugh. So bored!" she said. She then got an idea. "Hey, nurse!" she called out. A nurse peered in. "Can I have a book or two to read?"

. . .

We arrived back at the party. I would tell you what happened between the hospital and the party, but nothing happened. So, anyway, we got back. I opened the door, and everypony looked to see me and pinkie smiling. They smiled too. The first thing that happened when I got in was not me speaking with ponies at random, but that thunder came up to me. He wore a sad look.

"Hey, listen. I guess I owe you an apology. Both of you. I had a couple of drinks, and I really can't control myself when I'm like that," he said. I was too happy right now to not forgive the lump.

"I hope we can be good friends, you and I. What's your name? Thunder?" I asked.

"Yep. Thunder's the name. Oh, and I really respect you for what you did. Not only did you stand up to me, but you did so for your friends. My head'll hurt for a couple of days, but I'm glad you stopped me before I did anything I'd REALLY regret,"

vinyl came up from behind thunder. "Hey guys. Hey, I heard you got yourself a voice, Night! What'd you say to sing for us?" she asked. I smiled. I whispered in her ear. She smiled and nodded. I went and picked up the mic, and she stopped the music playing. Everypony looked up to me. I spoke into the mic.

"Hey, I got myself a request to sing for you all, due to the spreading word that I had an amazing voice, which I do not doubt. So, hit it!" vinyl started the track on her dj board.

"On the floor of pony-o-o
Or down in Lunadon town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of mare
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of mare
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of mare
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance,"

everypony cheered. Then, pinkie jumped above the crowd and yelled, Encore! Then, the rest of the crowd joined in. I looked to vinyl. She nodded. She put on a track. I smiled. Great song time!

Well, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout

Come on, come on, come
Come on baby now
Come on and work it on out

Well work it on out, honey
You know you look so good
You know you got me goin' now
Just like I know you would

Well, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come
Come on baby now
Come on and work it on out

You know you twist, little mare
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine, woo

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Yeah, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come
Come on baby now
Come on and work it on out

You know you twist, little mare
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine

Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Yes, the cheering after that stood for s long time. I looked around the room. The first day hadn't gone as bad as I had felt it might. I met some nice people, I found my home, and I sung like a badass.

Please review! It is what makes me wanna write more! Well, I hope you all liked this chapter. And, I hope all of you remember to Art On!
