Good morning Diary!

I decided I'm not eating breakfast today so I can spend some time telling you... Stuff! Like... I don't know, what do you wanna hear about? Hello? Oh right, books can't talk back! Let me think. Hmm... Maybe I could tell you about Rainbow? Yeah, that's it!

Rainbow is a really nice Pegasus, and one of my dear friends! Sorta. Anyhoof, she can be a jerk sometimes, but she has some really funny ideas! Remember what I told you last night? The snake in Rarity's dresser? Her idea. I know, genius! I mean, it's been done before, but that doesn't make it any less fun!

She does kinda get in a lot of... Trouble, I think is the word. Like this one time, she asked me to "help Twilight come out of her shell" or something, I can't remember all she said, but I went along with it...

...

"Hey, Nightshade?" I looked up from my book at Twilight, who was squinting, like somepony was shining a light in her face.

"Do you think can turn that off?" She said, pointing to my brightly glowing horn.

"Oh! Sorry Twi!" Still getting the hang of magic.

Anyhoof, she was about to get back to... Whatever it was she was doing when somepony knocked on the door. Spike was taking the day off. I think he was at... Rarity's? So she gets the door and Shadow was standing there. He seemed kind of mad.

"Hey Twi, have you seen my sister around?"

"Yes she's here- and what happened to you?" She gets loud when she's worried. Anyway, Shadow was covered in pink dots, I don't remember why, though...

"Nightshade happened." Oh! That's right! That was funny too!

So Rainbow's plan was working, and I remembered what to do next. I used the invisibility spell Shadow taught me (AWESOME bye the way) and snuck up behind Twilight...

I saw Rainbow, calmly walking down the street...

I got ready. Rainbow flew really fast to push Shadow like she said she would, and I pushed Twilight like I was supposed to and then she...

...flew into a bookcase.

Well, through it really, and more then one.

How was I supposed to know we were supposed to push them together? Dash just told me to push! She didn't say how hard I was supposed to push her either! Anyway, Shadow bumped into me and got... really angry. And then I ran. Me and Dash did, actually. It's a good thing Twi wasn't hurt! Shadow would've skinned me alive and baked me into a delicious cake...(maybe I shouldn't have skipped breakfast?)

I think Shadow forgot it happened, though. He didn't really chase us, he was too busy helping Twi up, and when we were talking about it later, he just said not to bring it up. Huh.

...

Right, since we've already talked about Dash, let's talk about my other friends!

Pinkie Pie seems to really like me, even though I left her welcoming party (Still can't remember that. Oh well.). We ended up getting surprised with another! I love her parties, even though Shadow doesn't really, I don't know why he doesn't though. The music is supposed to be loud! She doesn't get mad at me when I play a trick on her like everypony else does. Sometimes, she even helps me play a prank on somepony else!  She's really fast too! I wonder if she can tell me how she gets around so fast? I'll have to ask her later.

Then there's Macintosh. Mac is a nice pony, but his sister doesn't seem to really like me. She says she gets this feeling when I'm around, like I'm lying about something.

I've never lied to her! She's weird, but Mac is a nice pony. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I help him with the apples (he's an apple farmer, like his sister). He says it helps him get done with a days work faster, so I help when I've got nothing better to do. It's really easy since I can just use my magic to pull them down, and he even gives me a few apples when we're done to pay me for it (they're sooooo good).

There is one thing though. Every once in a while, when he thinks I'm not looking he stares at me weird. I don't really know what to think about that. He and Shadow usually get along, but one time, when they didn't know I was there, Shadow got really angry and I think he said something like: "If you hurt her in any way, I don't care how 'Big' you are, I will snap you in half. Are we clear?"

Sometimes I think Shadow's the crazy one. What would Macintosh ever do to me?

I think Shadow wanted me to go with him to pick up a book, so I have to go now. Maybe we can fly there today instead of just teleporting?
