Hurricane

"Oh, sorry, I have the money in the bag you gave me." Hurricane said. "Thanks." she smiled. She then listened to Lightning Bliss go on about her and her husband. It surprised Hurricane. She didn't expect a princess to live like that. When Lightning Bliss offered her one of the treats, she reached for one and was about to pop it in her mouth until she heard Lightning's question. She put the treat back in the box and got a saddened look on her face, but tried to play it off as casual. "Oh, I...I don't have a job." she said. "I don't make money...that's....that's why I steal." she said.

"Fine, I'll buy the darn bread..." Hurricane said unamused as she took the money. "It won't be fun though." she said as she walked toward the café. "Should've kept my mouth shut." she said as walked away muttering that and other things under her breath. She walked through the doors and made her way up to the counter. There were a few ponies in front of her. As she was waiting, she was looking at the pastries in the display case and thinking about how she would steal them if she did. "Miss" The pony at the counter was trying to grab Hurricane's attention. "Miss" he said louder. Hurricane snapped back. "Yes, sorry." she said. "What would you like miss?" the pony asked nicely. "Um, a bag of bread and...a dozen sweet cinnamon rolls to go." The pony went to the back of the café to get the items Hurricane requested. Hurricane had an opportunity and a choice. As she was debating in her head what to do, the stallion came out with her order. "Here you are miss." she smiled. "Thanks" Hurricane gave a small smile back. she took the items and started for the door before she was stopped by the stallion again. "You gotta pay for that miss." he said. Hurricane turned around and remembered the bag of bits that Lighting Bliss gave her. "Oh, sorry." she said with a small laugh as she put some of the bits on the counter. The pony counted them and nodded his approval. Hurricane then left the bakery and headed back to where Lightning Bliss was. Hurricane's ears perked up when she heard the jingling of the leftover bits in the bag almost speaking to her. You don't have any money Hurricane. She started a war in her head. But Lightning has been so kind to you. She's a princess. She's rich already. Hurricane couldn't take it any more. She slipped into a dark alley and took some of the bits out of the bag and hid them in between the feathers of her wings making sure they were secure. She then made her way back to Lightning Bliss. "Here you go!" she said showing her the treats.

Midnight turned away after the Lee left the room. It was like what just happened was completely normal. "Well, I'm gonna go get something to eat." she said to Brandi. "I hear there is a small café around here. You can come if you want." she offered. Midnight saw this as an opportunity to get to know her roomie better. They were gonna spend a long time together after all.

Midnight felt like the odd one out in the group. Everypony knew each other. She wasn't helping the situation with the strange little filly either. She really felt bad for her. Midnight knew what it was like to be made fun of for being different. She tried one more thing to maybe get the filly to at least open a little. She lied down to be on the Brittle's level, but still gave her space. "Ponies hurt me for being a monster too." she said softly.

"No fair! You used magic!" Hurricane complained after reaching the ground. "You alicorns have an unfair advantage." she grumbled. "Unicorns can do anything with magic. They can make anything bend to their will and control just about anything." Hurricane began to rant. She then turned her head and saw the café from the other day and got a devious look on her face. "I bet I can go in there, and come out with a whole loaf of bread with out getting caught." she said challenging Lightning Bliss.

After the stranger introduced himself, Midnight folded in her wings and stood normally and Ziggy flew back down to Midnight's back. "Sorry Briar." she apologized obviously embarrassed. "I guess I'm just a little jumpy." she said with a small awkward laugh. "But you can't be too careful in the Everfree."

Hurricane smirked accepted Lighting Bliss's challenge. Her plans of stealing the food would have to be altered. She knew Lightning Bliss would never go along with it. As Hurricane was going down, she thought she would spice things up by flying in a couple small circles around Lightning Bliss to throw her off.

Hurricane jumped a little at Lightning's outburst out there. "He's weak, he's not gonna go anywhere, besides, the real Blaze needs some time to fight his mind battle himself." she said obviously getting defensive. She cooled down a bit, "I can bring back some food for us if you want." Hurricane thought she could use this to get a little excitement to start the day.

"I'll go find the others." Hurricane said. "She started to get bored with watching Steel and flew off to go find Lighting Bliss. She went back to what was left of the hotel and finally found Lightning. "Hey Princess," she said to her casually. "Are you as bored as I am?" she asked with her expression dropping. "I really need something fun to do."

Midnight was about to comment on Brandi's story when suddenly, she heard a squeaky voice. She turned around to see a small gecko. Before she could say anything, Ziggy flew up to him and opened his mouth as if he was going to eat him. "Ziggy..." Midnight said as if the little bat was about to get into trouble. Ziggy just rolled his eyes and flew back to Midnight's bed. Midnight flew up toward the gecko. "Shouldn't be too far." she said as if talking geckos were normal. "I can get Ziggy to give you a ride if you want." she smirked.

Midnight simply watched Brittle and Strom's conversation. They seemed to be getting along rather well. She didn't want to interrupt. Suddenly, she heard a voice behind them. It startled her and because she was in the Everfree, she went with her gut reaction. The second she heard the mysterious voice, she whipped around and spread her wings hissing and bearing her fangs. She kept the pose not knowing whether this pony was good or not. Anything could happen in the Everfree . At that same moment, Ziggy flew up into the air above Midnight and hissed as well. After Storm seemed to recognize the new pony, she realized a little, but still kept her wings out and a growling look on her face.

The unknown goes far beyond the Everfree. Midnight said to herself in response to Brandi's answer "The Everfree? How did you survive in there? That place is dangerous for ponies and critters." Midnight sounded surprised. "How did you survive the timber wolves and mantacores and cockatrices?" she asked. Midnight was curious about the other item underneath Brandi's bed. Maybe it was worth checking out later.

Ziggy quickly snatched up the treat with his little bat hands and gobbled it up happily. Midnight closed Brandi's book. "My classes are less...basic" she said as she let out a small laugh. "Animal study, AP Equestria history, gym, flight class, and chemistry." she said. Then she got a serious face and decided to ask a random question. "By any chance, are you afraid of the unknown?" she spoke as if the answer was important.

1) I'm the best flyer on my cheer team 2) I wish I could sing really well...I sing way too much for someone who can't sing well.

"Honestly," Hurricane started, "I would love to show you up right now, I really would, but I'm just too sore and I can feel every cut and bruise on my body." she said. "I'm not one to turn down a fight, but If we run into Royal Flush or one of his ugly friends again, I wanna be in optimum fighting condition." she said staring down the air and pulling out her dagger pretending to stab Royal flush. "I promise I'll embarrass you another time though." she smirked.

Midnight noticed Brittle's attention shift to Ziggy. "This is my pet vampire fruitbat and my best friend." she said in a happy voice. "We do everything together. Most ponies are afraid of him and avoid him." she said cheerfully. Just like me she thought in her head while keeping her pointy smile. "We do everything together. you can pet him if you want. He doesn't bite....usually." she added that last word quietly so Brittle couldn't hear. Ziggy hopped down from Midnight's head and flew toward Brittle landing in front of her.

((Can we please have nightmare night in the RP?)) Ziggy's eyes grew larger with excitement when he saw Brandi's fruit treats."Transformations, huh?" Midnight said curiously. She flipped open the spell book without even thinking to ask first. She had never seen magic spells like these before. "I didn't even know that transforming ponies to other animals was even possible." Midnight said sounding interested. "What kind of classes are you taking?" she asked.

"He only likes the really juicy fruits." Midnight replied. Ziggy's eyes lit up as he licked his lips very eager for his special treat. Midnight walked toward Brandi's side of room looking around. It looked pretty different from her style. She then noticed Brandi's spellbook. "So you dabble in magic huh?" she asked. "What exactly is your talent?" Midnight was curios about her new roommate. She seemed very different from her except for liking animals.

Midnight was taken back a little by Brandi's excitement. Ziggy fluttered in the air and did a little loop before landing back on the bed. He obviously enjoyed the attention. "Oh, I found Ziggy as a little orphaned baby. His group had migrated without him. His wings were under developed at the time so he couldn't fly." she said. "I was a filly when I found him outside a cave. It's also how I got my cutie mark." she smiled.

"Oh, sorry Brandi." Midnight apologized. She went back to decorating her half the room. The main colors of her side were black, navy blue, and dark purple. She put out pillows and more blankets. "I'm Midnight Shade." she said. "But you can call me Midnight." There were then a series of angry squeaks and chirps as Ziggy came out from under the blankets. "Oh, and this is Ziggy." she giggled. "He's my pet vampire fruitbat and best friend." she said gesturing to him as Ziggy gave a nod of approval.

"I've just never seen a pony fight the air before. What's the point of that?" Hurricane asked. "I mean, if your gonna practice with something, shouldn't it be something that can actually fight back?" she asked curiously. "Although, I've never actually seen your fighting style before either. I'm no expert, but, with a real opponent, you can react to their reactions an moves. When you fight nothing, how can you prepare yourself for actual battle? Do you get what I'm saying?"
