Twilight Sparkle flapped her blue leathery wings trying to fly with them.

"Come on Twilight you can do it!" Said the light blue Unicorn foal next to her, this unicorn name is Trixie.

"Fly Twilight fly!" Called the grey Pegasus flying above her, her name is Derpy.

Sticking her forked tongue in concentration she shut her eyes and started to flap in a pattern until she found herself face to face with Derpy.

"Ya you did it." Derpy called out. Twilight smiled a bit.

"Girls its time to go back inside." Trixie called to the two. They both landed and the three filly's ran to the orphanage they were so familiar with.

"Alright everypony settle down, we have a couple announcements." Mr. Stricture the pony in charge of the orphanage said when all the foals got inside. "First of all of you remember when Filthy Rich and his family lost Barnyard Bargains to prince Blue Blood a few months ago, exactly why he wanted it I really don't know. Well we found someone had murdered him and his wife and only there daughter is left, she will be coming in two hours. In other news there will be magic tests for the unicorns and predatory bat pony."

"I'm a Thestral." Twilight muttered as they walk to there rooms. In there rooms were two bunk beds. Twilight and Derpy sleep on the top bunk, Trixie sleeps below Twilight, no pony was below Derpy. The spare bed Twilight chewed on a few times when she regrew teeth. Since all the other rooms were full they had a strong feeling that would not be true in two hours.

"And why does she have to always call me predatory? I already Know I'm a predator!" Twilight ask her friends. Her friends shrugged.

"Well well well." Came a different voice. The trio looked behind to see Green Glider. "The monster, the freak, and the useless Unicorn."

"Go away Green Glider." Trixie said glaring at the green Unicorn colt.

"Ya leave us alone." Twilight said only a few feet away from Trixie.

"Oh no the animal is stepping out of line, lets fix that." Green Glider said as he pulled out a dog whistle and blew.

Nether Trixie nor Derpy heard anything but Twilight dropped to the ground clutching her ears. Both of them knew why. Thestrals had better hearing then dogs, so when a Thestral hears a dog whistle instead of discomfort like it is for dogs Thestral felt a high pitched agony.

"Leave Twilight alone." Derpy shouted snatching the whistle.

"Like I'm going to listen to a walleyed freak like you." Green Glider stated smugly.

Derpy backed away starting to tear up. Twilight got up despite the fact it felt like her ears were bleeding and hugged the sobbing Pegasus.

"O'k that's crossing the line, you can't hurt there feelings like that". Trixie snapped

"Like I care about feelings." Green Glider stated as he started to walk away, "Or the thoughts of a below average Unicorn who can't even levitate herself."

If looks could kill Trixie would have been a mass murder.

"Trixie calm down." Derpy pleaded.

"Forget about him, do you want to read?" Twilight asked. Twilight had the guide to all 6 pony species. This featured Earth, Pegasus, Unicorn, Thestral, Sea, and Deer. The other books Twilight have were a spell book, a guide to all of Equestria including map, a guide to non pony species and what they think of each pony race, and a daring do novel. Trixie looked at the book and climbed onto Twilight's bed to read.

When Diamond Tiara looked at where she would be living see wanted to scream to Faust herself and ask why she was tormenting her. The only thing she had of her old life was her tiara and cutie mark, the pony running the place showed her where she would sleep had three other inhabitants. They were a grey Pegasus, a light blue Unicorn, and a purple Bat pony. "Oh and the Bat pony chewed on it a few times," the pony said matter-a-fact."Great!"Diamond thought "I will be living with a carnivore."

Twilight didn't look up from the guide of non-pony species, (she hadn't read that one yet) mainly the section on what is there general thought were of Thestrals. She wasn't surprised when they ranged from absolutely terrifying to respectable. A few did surprised her like the Zebra thought Thestrals were misunderstood, and Minotaurs find Thestrals fascinating, And griffens were vary wary around them. Twilight knew why most creature feared Thestrals. Thestrals are meat-eaters and had ferocious tempers when provoked, and often succumb to there instinct. And she was no exception (when a pair of robbers tried to rob the orphanage they woke up her,Trixie ,Derpy ,and Mr. Stricker. They had kicked her aside and called her a insane beast. That was also at a time when she new how use her teeth. long story short the robbery was stop). Ever since then she learn to control her temper but she knows she could easily snap.

Derpy played with the two dolls she had and thought of what Green Glider had called her that. He was not the first person to call her that.

The only one who payed any attention to Diamond tiara was Trixie. She had heard about what she was like and she would give Diamond a piece of her mind if she dared insult them they had enough problems.

Diamond hoped this situation would get better. She has no idea.
