Never knew the truth

Prolouge:

After the events with Tirek, something new was up. An orphanage in Canterlot had a new `member`, an Alicorn girl. She was just a baby when she got there but a note was tagged to her. The note said `Her name is Moonlight. Take good care of her and try to find her a good family. Love, her parents`.

The years went by and Moonlight grew a little slower then her `playmates`, so she was bullied. `What's wrong with you guys? I thought you were better then that.` a young colt, same age as Moonlight said and came over to Moonlight to comfort her. Even my real parents didn't want me. Why else am I here?` Moonlight cried going in the orphanage. She was, like all the others, 5 years old, but she looked like 3.

One night Moonlight couldn't sleep and gazed out the window in her little room. Suddenly a shooting star went by and she wished to be more like the others. `Couldn't sleep either huh?` the colt who helped her that day stood in the doorway. `Its just you, Shadow Blade. I thought it was Shining Armor.` Moonlight replied. She hated the orphanage and wanted to be adopted soon.

As the days went by, princess Celestia and princess Luna visited the orphanage. Everyone wanted to be adopted by one of them, even Moonlight. When the princesses went through the row of little colts and fillies, Moonlight hid behind the curtain. ` Do you have special fillies or colts here?` Luna wanted to know. Everyone was confused by her question, but they said, that Moonlight was `special`. She heard that and quickly teleported away.

`Where could she be? She never ran away before.` Shining Armor said, he volunteered at the orphanage. He heard sobbing, so he looked behind a bush in the garden. Moonlight sat there and cried. `I'm not special. I don't even have a cutie mark as everyone else.` she said with sobs between her words.

Even though she never knew why she was different she didn't really cared that she was special. `you are more then just special, Moonlight.` a voice interrupted her thoughts. When she looked up she saw princess Luna standing there looking at her. Moonlight acted quickly and bowed before her even though she knew she didn't need to do that. Luna was confused at her action at fist but then smiled and sat down beside her. `How old are u, Moonlight?` she asked. Moonlight replied that she was 10. `Everyone makes fun of me, because I'm different. I'm an Alicorn and I hate it. I don't even know why I'm this way!` Moonlight suddenly cried in Luna's chest and Luna wrapped her wings around her. She whispered `Everything is fine, mommy is here. No need to cry dear.` Celestia who saw what happened there just smiled and said that this filly is going to be Luna's student.

And so the story begun, a wonderful story about friendship and about that being different is not bad.
