Hi! Wow, it really does write down everything I say! Oh man, this is beyond cool! I wonder if Shadow has one of these? Anyway, uh... Hi! I just got you from Luna! She visited us tonight, which is nice because it's just me and Shadow-

Oh! You haven't met Shadow yet!

[Shuffling noises, along with the sound of hooves hiting stone]

Shade, what are you-

Oh wait!

[More shuffling noises, and the same trotting sound as before at a more hurried pace]

I completely forgot! Luna says I'm supposed to keep you a secret- and you wrote all that down? Wow you are really neat!

Okay, since I have to do the introductions, let's start with Shadow! Nightshadow is my brother, and he's fun, even if he is too serious most of the time. Oh, speaking of which-

Shade, why are you talking to yourself?

No reason!

Riiiight... I'll be outside if you need me.

Okay! I'll join you! Just give a moment to finish some things in here...

Alright then.

...

Wow. I didn't close you all the way and you wrote all that down! Neat! I have a whole book that remembers what somepony says to me! I forget sometimes unless it's something really neat! Like this one idea Rainbow Dash had- wait a moment! What's that thing I'm doing that Shadow keeps telling me to stop? Oh yeah, I'm going off track!

So Luna visited us tonight, checking up on us to make sure we were doing okay and if we were "adjusting" well. I don't remember very much from before, so it's kind of easy for me to get used to Ponyville, but Shadow's so jumpy! It can be kinda funny as long as he doesn't get too mad! Argh, I'm doing it again, aren't I?

Right, so Luna wanted to talk with me alone for a second. She asked me if I was doing alright, and I really have been, except... Well...

I don't like hiding who I am!

Who cares if I can fly and do magic? I'm just a normal pony... Right? Anyway, I told her it felt stupid that the only ponies who could ever see my wings were Macintosh and Rainbow. Well, Fluttershy can too, but she's so scared of me, that I barely see her!

Anyway, she told me she understood. She said a lot of things, I can't remember everything she said but I know they made me feel better, and then she gave me you! She said that I could tell you whatever I want, and there'd be no consequences! She also said you should help me remember things, too, since I'm kind of having... problems with memory right now.

But she also said never to show you to anypony else, that in her opinion a fillys' diary should be a place where she can put whatever she wants without "the fear of being rediculed for it". She uses some really big words sometimes. It's not that I don't understand them, but what's the point in using a big word when you can just use a small word that means the same thing?

Wait, do books have eyes? Should I write down what everypony looks like? Oh gosh... uh Shadow's got a black color with red eyes and a really short blue mane, and I'm the same with a longer mane and green eyes... this feels stupid! Am I really talking to a book? Oh, who cares? At least it's fun! Kinda. I mean, not as fun as the time I put one of those fake snakes in Rarity's dresser...

Maybe I should talk about Ponyville? It's a really neat little town. It's alot bigger then the castle, even though it looked smaller from a distance. Me and Shadow live out in a Castle inside the 'Everfree' forest. Turns out there's another out here too, even though Shadow told me not to look for it. Shadow says we've been here for a while, even though we just moved into the castle a few days ago.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow are hilarious, Twilight is really smart (I think she likes Shadow. Don't tell him though!), Applejack is... okay.  As long as you don't lie to her. I never lie to her though, except for the whole 'wings' thing, so it's okay. Rarity... I don't think I like her very much. She's funny when she's mad, though! Macintosh, Applejacks brother, is really nice. I like Fluttershy, but every time I try to talk to her, she runs away! And when she can't run away, she just stares at me like I'm gonna eat her! She's really weird.

Shadow's going to start worrying about where I am, so I guess I better stop for now!  Goodbye... Diary? I guess you're just Diary!

Goodnight, Diary!
