Sunburst woke up the next morning. Once the light hit his eyes, he let out a groan.

Wait, why is there light on my face. Oh crap, I'm late for school.

With this revelation in his head, he burst out of his room and rushed downstairs and out the door.

About half-way there, he noticed all the fillies in the streets when they should've been in school.

Why are there so many kids in the...oh my Celestia, its the weekend!

And with this new-found revelation, he ran off to do stuff. The stuff in question was currently unknown to him, but it didn't matter, it was the weekend and that's what mattered.

What should I do first, maybe play at the playground. Or should I see if Scootaloo wants to hang out. No, she won't do that. I'm just a colt and she has friends. Sunburst sighed. I need friends. Maybe that's what I should do. Making friends can't be hard. I mean, if Numerah can do it, I can.

So he went to the playground to make some friends.

Two hours later.

This isn't fair. I've been super nice and all that has happened to me has been super mean.

Just then two fillies called out. "Blank-flank." and started laughing.

This just made him even more upset. And, being just four years old, he started to cry.

Why is everypony mean to me? Its not fair. Sure, some are mad at me because my mom hurts them, but that's not my fault. Just because she is a dentist doesn't mean that I deserve to be picked on.

Like most ponies his age, he didn't try to fix the problem or even ignore it. Instead, he wallowed in his own pity.

"Hey, kid." A voice said.

Looking up revealed a colt two years older than him. The colt had a dark gray coat with a deep purple mane. He had a cutie mark of a shield with a crescent moon on it.

"Yeah, what do you want?" Sunburst asked.

I just wanted to ask if you wanted to hang out."

"Why would you want to hang out with a blank-flank?"

"Because, your sitting here alone, crying. And I don't like it when a pony gets picked on for something as stupid as a cutie mark." The colt said.

"Yeah, well, I have friends. Like" He sighed. "Numerah."

The colt laughed. "You're friends with Numerah? Wow, no wonder your picked on. I thought it was because you didn't have a cutie mark and your mom's a dentist."

Really. Ponies don't like me because my mom's a dentist?

Then, what he said sunk in. For the strangest reason, Sunburst felt the need to stick up for her. "Hey, leave her alone. Picking on her is my job when she isn't doing my homework."

"That's weird." The colt said.

"What is?" I Sunburst asked.

"You've never stuck out for anypony before. I know, I've been watching."

"That's because I don't like it when other ponies pick on others because of their special talent."

"I like you Sunburst, the names Night Watch." He said, offering his hoof.

Sunburst shook it like any professional would.

"So want do we do now?" Sunburst asked.

"Now...now we play, or stick up for ponies. Your choice." Night Watch said.

"Meh, I've been trying to play with ponies all day. Now that I have the chance, I'm not gonna waste it."

"Fair enough."

After playing many filly games and other things

"Wow, I haven't had this much fun since Scootaloo used to foalsit me." Sunburst said.

"Scootaloo was your foalsitter? Lucky, I had Big Mac as mine." Night Watch complained.

Now, Sunburst had seen Big Mac around a bit. Even though they never said anything to each other, the red giant was quiet. Possibly even more silent than the dead.

"Dude, that must've sucked."

"It did, but I did get my cutie mark because of him."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I saw some ponies picking a fight with a filly a year back. Big Mac didn't do anything, like always, but I stood up for her and poof, this thing appeared." Night Watch explained.

"That's awesome." Sunburst said as they walked.

They walked for a good while, trying to find somepony to buy them a snack. Most likely because it was past noon and they were hungry. They tried to get Lyra, Bon Bon, Carrot Top, and Derpy to buy them something, but they didn't. Eventually, a white pony with purple shades and neon blue hair walked by.

"Hey, lets ask her." Sunburst said.

"Yeah, she always gets me stuff." Night Watch added.

They approached her and said simultaneously. "Excuse me, miss. We're hungry and we were wondering if you could get us something."

The pony in question, Vinyl Scratch, turned around. Normally, she would've done it, but when she caught sight of Sunburst, things changed. She took off her glasses and glared at him. This made the two colts feel awkward to no end. Eventually, she said. "It's you. That's impossible." then she walked away.

...

"Huh, I wonder what that's about?" Sunburst asked.

"Beats me. Hey, we should spend the night somewhere."

"...Thats the best idea of all time EVER!"

"Cool, but where?"

"My house?" Sunburst suggested.

"Sure, but will your mom make me eat a bunch of non-sugary stuff?"

"Pfft, no. One night of eating sweets is allowed. Besides, Pinkie survives on them."

"True, lets meet up at the playground in two hours."

"Good."

"Hey mom? Can Night Watch spend the night?" Sunburst asked as soon as he walked in.

"Sure, just as long as you two stay out of trouble and brush your teeth." Colgate said. Realizing the errors too late, she added. "Who is he? Is it okay with his parents? Does he have any allergies?" you know, mom stuff.

Sunburst ignored most of the questions as to save his sanity. Unfortunately, Colgate wanted an answer to every single one. That exacerbated things a bit.

So, doing the logical thing that every single one of us has done, he smiled and nodded. Colgate was none the wiser as to what this night would entail. Mostly because foals aren't that smart. Unfortunately, the poor mare wasn't good at doing her job as a mother either, so it was all good.

Colgate sighed. "When is he coming over?"

"In two hours, I said I'd meet him at the playground."

"Fine, just make sure his parents are okay with it." Colgate said, clearly not happy to those who actually cared. That kid and his shenanigans, maybe I should ask Lyra or somepony to help me watch them. I don't think I'm cut out for this. I bet Scootaloo wouldn't mind watching them for five bits.

Two Hours Later

Night Watch and Sunburst walked in the door.

"What are we going to do first?" Night Watch asked.

"I don't know, something epic and so awesome that its illegal."

"Huh, seems legit." A third voice answered. Next Chapter: Get Out of Here Stalker Estimated time remaining: 53 Minutes
