Everypony is born and they all have a separate destiny to aim and live for, no matter what it is. But not everypony takes it as lightly as others do. Well then who am I? Because I am in the minority and I do not understand what destiny is really like.

I am Bond Racer, a one of a kind Alicorn living in Ponyville, yeah, how often do you have an alicorn come by and stay here, eh? But aside from the fact that I could be quite a character, I do understand a lot of general qualities. Such as being able to fly and use magic, something that I haven't done for a long time, except for small things like cooking and visiting Cloudsdale via flying, but that's it.

In addition to this, I can be caring and loving to other ponies, although that isn't always the case as I have yet to share some deep love to a lucky mare, apart from one night stands which only happened at least once in Ponyville. But one time when I was growing up in Fillydelphia, it got too much for me and I left that city to live the quiet life in Ponyville, yeah long story short, things change as well as happen and sometimes, it's not for the better.

However, the last important part of me that I'm proud to have is my humour, granted, it can be really random and out of the blue at several points, but at the same time, I occasionally pull out a few one-liners which I have a feeling will be present someday. Maybe not today or even tomorrow, but maybe, just have an inkling for these things you know.

I live in a well designed home, just by where ponies pass the entrance path into Ponyville and I like it that way, because I rather have my own personal space than to have a home slap in the middle of the town...okay close to the middle cause of the Town Hall at the actual centre, but that's for another time.

Now when I first got here, I didn't know anypony...well until I attended the Town Hall permanent residence meeting where I signed a couple of forms to Mayor Mare so that I could have a place here and what a spectacular process it was. Living in my new home for free and on one kind of benefit, thanks to Princess Celestia who was also there at the meeting, because she believed I had potential to be somepony special. After the meeting and welcoming myself to my new home, I burst out in fits of laughter after what Celestia said. Me, an alicorn I accept, but special? Wow! She needs to write my jokes, because that cannot possibly be true. There is no sign of evil around here whatsoever, not a single peep of evil.

Of course, it wasn't long before I started to make a couple of friends around here which is her my weekly routine comes in. Normally, my week consists of the usual kind, I prepare for the week on Monday where I don't need any help with before taking a stroll around the village and beyond. Tuesday is when I take up to the skies and visit Cloudsdale to help with the catering at Wonderbolts Academy where I originally met the Wonderbolts before I bumped into Rainbow Dash who was having a tour around the academy, she tends to show off, but is loyal to her friends, especially me. Wednesday is when I help tend to some of the small animals just a short walk away from the Everfree Forest, with Fluttershy who cares for them everyday, she was incredibly shy when I first met her, but I did swallow a lot of my witty humour and brag in order to become friends with her. Thursday is my shopping day and I have a real guilty pleasure of buying a lot of apples, thanks to Sweet Apple Acres and Applejack who has surprisingly impressive strength. Friday is the time when I help Pinkie Pie out with whatever random and pointless party she has planned, but then again, she was the first pony I became friends with after I found my new home and she really helped me get settled into Ponyville, with her being crazy too, it gives me competition on who be can be less sane.

Saturday is possibly my favourite day of the week, I like to attend Saturday night parties and through Pinkie, I met Rarity who designed a marvellous suit and shoes for me. She's a fine, fancy-looking mare don't get me wrong, but maybe a bit too fashionable for me, which is a shame really, but there you go. Sunday is like my relaxing day, unless it's the last Sunday of the month where I am summoned to meet the Princess, asking me how I'm doing in Ponyville.

Well, that was all two years ago when I first arrived, time passed a bit then and today was going to be an unexpected one. Today was the Summer Sun Celebration or in detail, the event where Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon by Celestia, which was due later this evening and as I walked out of my home to a clear day, I look to see that the preparations were already underway.

Hey, that rhymes, I thought to myself.

I was about to look all around the town that was getting into the celebration if you can call it that, when I looked above to see the unicorn guards with a purple unicorn pony and a baby dragon on board. They flew down to the ground before stopping as I watched with curiosity.

"Thank you, sirs." the purple mare spoke as she and Spike got out of the carriage, before the unicorns began to fly away.

"Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have something interesting to talk about." the little dragon suggested.

I took a deep breath, put on my smile and walked up towards them. There, my first step of my destiny began...

"Come on Twilight, just try." Spike added.

I could see Twilight was unsure about making friends, but she gave it a go, "Um, hello?"

"Why hello there, you must be new here." I replied.

"I am, my name is Twilight Sparkle."

"Hey! That's a pretty cool name, mine is Bond Racer." I said.

"Nice to meet you, Bond Racer and..." Twilight paused as she noticed I had wings and a horn. "...are you?"

I rubbed my left foreleg behind my head "Yeah...an alicorn, I'm special according to my parents in Fillydelphia, but I'm not really."

"But why would you say that, how come you were born as an alicorn?" Spike asked.

I was a little unsure if I was ready to discuss that issue as I only just got to know them, "I'll tell you another time."

Soon, Pinkie Pie trotted along and saw me, "Oh hi, Bond Racer and-" she noticed Twilight, let out a huge gasp and then zoomed away fast.

"Well, that was interesting, alright." Twilight spoke sarcastically.

I of course wasn't affected by Pinkie's randomness as I lived here for a while now, "Yeah, I apologise about that. She's Pinkie Pie, the number one go to pony for parties and she is as crazy as I am."

"Crazy as you, you seem normal to me." she said in confusion.

"Well, give me two drinks of apple cider and you'll see the crazy side of me, with good intentions." I then winked.

Twilight blinked at me before shaking her head, "Well, I've gotta get going as I'm here to see over the preparations by order of the Princess."

My ears perked up, "Princess Celestia? I know her and I see her a few times."

"Really? How do you know her and all that?" Spike intervened.

"Like I said before, I'll tell you about it soon. For now, I'll let you get back to what your job is."

"Thanks Bond, I've gotta go to my new home which is the treehouse library, maybe I'll see you soon." Twilight said to me.

"I know where that is and it would be nice, see you next time." I replied as they walked away from Ponyville to Sweet Apple Acres.

She seemed like a nice pony who knew what she was doing, but perhaps needs a bit of help with making friends, maybe I could help her with that when I get the time. I then got back to looking around, seeing the ponies setting up decorations around the Town Hall which is where the big event is taking place.

As time passed, it was completely night time and I was to attend the rising of the sun by Celestia, so I made my way to the Town Hall, but I saw Twilight and Spike who were on their way too.

"Oh hey you two, you're coming to the event as well?" I asked them.

"I am, dude, not sure about Twilight here." Spike answered.

I could see that Twilight was not in her normal expression, she looked a bit irritated for some reason.

"Are you alright, Twilight?" I asked with concern.

"No, all of the ponies in this town are CRAZY!" she snapped back.

"Come on Twilight, you really should lighten up, it's a special event." Spike intervened as he continued walking towards the Town Hall.

Twilight then talked in a silly voice, copying Spike's words, which did made me giggle a little. "Uh, here I thought I had time to learn about the Elements Of Harmony, but silly me, all this ridiculous friend making has kept me from it!"

I stood there, looking back and feeling worried about her.

"Oh Bond, I'm sorry, I don't mean specifically you, just making friends in general." Twilight apologised.

"Oh it's alright, I was exactly the way you were when I first came here months ago." I smiled  "Anyways, you said something about the Elements Of Harmony?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, legend has it that on the longest day of the 1,000th year, the stars will aid in Nightmare Moon's escape and  bring back everlasting night. I believe that the Elements Of Harmony may be the only way to stop her."

My ears perked up, "Wait, I remember reading that from the Canterlot library a while ago."

"You did?"

"Yeah and don't explain how, but I'm getting a lingering presence that isn't good. As for the Elements of Harmony, if what you're saying about them is true-"

We were interrupted by Spike, "Come on you two, it's time to watch the sun rise."

"But then again, I hope it really is just a ponytale and that it's just a windy night tonight." I said to her as we walked inside.

It was already crowded in places with all kinds of ponies present. Twilight and I were feeling a bit worried and there was a bit of silent until Pinkie appeared by surprise.

"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited? I've never been so excited. Well except for that one time that you came in to town and I went-" she then took a huge breath before continuing, "but I mean really, who can top that?" she asked in her usual way.

"Maybe trying to calm down would top what you've just seen today." I said, trying to reason with Pinkie which never seems to work.

Soon the music began to play with the birds chirping, composed by Fluttershy. A spotlight then shone on the stage where Mayor Mare walked on.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, as Mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" the Mayor boomed in her formal voice.

All the ponies cheered, except Twilight and me who were still feeling worried.

The Mayor continued, "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year."

Twilight looked at the moon as I did as well and to our shock, we saw three stars moving towards the moon and in a small bright flash, the mark of the Mare of the moon disappeared. This confirmed that the legend was definitely true and I had a feeling something was going to happen.

No pony else noticed all this as the Mayor carried on, "And now, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you the ruler of our land. The pony who gives us the sun and the moon every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria, Princess Celestia!"

I saw Rarity grabbed a rope beside her to pull the curtains to the side to reveal...nothing! The ponies then felt confused.

"This can't be good..." Twilight said and I nodded.

"Remain calm everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation." The Mayor said.

Pinkie didn't seem to be affected by our worries, "Oh, I love guessing games, is she hiding?"

"She's gone." Rarity said on the balcony and everypony gasped.

"Oooh, she's good." Pinkie said which made me roll my eyes, but then she screamed!

We then saw a dark blue mist with stars appearing on the balcony as Rarity ran off frightened.

"Oh no." Twilight whispered.

The mist began to take shape and in one whoosh, a dark alicorn pony appeared, this must be...

"Nightmare Moon." Twilight said for me as Spike fainted, falling off Twilight.

Nightmare moon began to speak as every other pony shivered in her presence, "Oh my beloved subjects. It has been so long since I've seen your precious sun loving faces."

"What did you do with our princess?" Rainbow Dash yelled as she began to fly but her tail was caught by Applejack's teeth.

"Woah there, Nelly!" she said with Dash's tail in her mouth.

Nightmare Moon chuckled, "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am? Does my crown no longer count now that I've been imprisoned for a thousand years?"

For a thousand years...where have I heard that line before, a song maybe?

"Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"

"We did!" I yelled. Soon the attention was turned to me and Twilight.

"I know who you are, you are the mare of the moon. Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled.

Everypony gasped again.

Nightmare Moon smiled, "Well, well, well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I am here."

"You're here to..."

"To cover all of Equestria in eternal night." I finished for Twilight as she couldn't seem to be brave to finish her sentence.

Nightmare Moon then laughed evilly, "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night...will last...FOREVER!" she yelled before laughing evilly again.

I may be a crazy pony from time to time, my humour can be quite witty and odd and sometimes, I may show some care and love, but I wasn't stupid. I knew the difference between good and evil and Nightmare Moon was anything but good. I knew that this was a dark moment for all of us ponies, I wondered if there would be anything that could stop her... Next Chapter: Friendship Is Magic Estimated time remaining: 29 Hours, 33 Minutes
