Backstory: I was born a cute little yellow pegasus. I had a pink mane with lighter pink streaks which gleamed in the sunlight. My parent's were Cotton Swirl(mother) and Streak(father). Both were pegasi, therefore making me a pegasus. I grew up mostly in Cloudsdale, and I never even dreamt I would be where I am today. Never had many friends, since I was shy. But there was one person that did care for me. My big sister. She would always help me in a time of need. Her name was Blueberry. I never had a bully in my life which was an advantage to being shy. But, I always felt...lonely. Then along came Starry Night. A filly my age with a sparkling periwinkle mane and a purple and yellow mane, much more attractive then me. She was my best friend from then on, the only person other than my family I could count on. Then it happened. <br /><br />"Starry, we shouldn't go in there. It isn't natural in there." I had said.<br /> <br />"But I must. There is somepony in there", she had replied to me, "you can stay here if you must." she finished.<br /> <br />"Okay then be safe." I said, sitting.<br /> <br />She went in there. The Everfree. That forest had given me the eeps ever since I was a baby. And my best friend was going in there. <br /> <br />I waited for hours. And hours...and hours, at least until dusk. Then I noticed. She was gone. I felt a pain in my heart that told me she was my only true friend, and she was..gone. Forever. But, of course, at that time in my life I would not have known that. So I thought about looking for her. To find her. So I stepped into the dark, gloomy, and might I add messy forest. I walked deeper in and the deeper I went in, I felt more uncomfortable. As I walked I smelled..guts? Which still, I do not know how I recognized it. Then I saw it. It was horrifying. Deep sorrow for my best friend filled my heart. There lie her body ripped to pieces. I broke out in tears. Tears of saddness, anger, grief, and most importantly..love for my best friend. I sat there and stared. I calmed down which most fillies could not do. I got up took a deep breath and took some parchment and a quill and wrote to Celestia:<br /> <br />Dear Princess Celestia, <br /> <br />This is one of your young subjects speaking. Please come to me in the Everfree Forest. Something terrible has happened.<br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Lilly<br /> <br />I sent the letter. And now I had to wait. Wait for Princess Celestia. After almost an hour of waiting, about to lose hope and give up she arrived.<br /> <br />"Hmm. Looks like the timber wolves attacked your friend, Lilly" said Celestia in her gentle voice. I started to tear up feelings didn't go well with me. Never.<br /> <br />"I'm sorry, Lilly. I really am" said Celestia.<br /> <br />I just sat down and sobbed quietly to myself, not listening to the world around me. Eventually, the royal guards came and took my best friends body. That was the last time I ever saw my best friend. But life had to go on. I told my parents, who told Starrys parents, who told everyone the tragic death of their child. If only I had her here with me right now. <br /> <br />The years past and the sorrow for Starrys death slowly declined. I met some few friends, which I new I would not loose.<br /> <br />We grew into our teens and we became young mares, all getting our cute marks. Mine was a flower with a crown on it, meaning I had a love for plants, or gardening. But the crown. I had no idea what it meant. I had taken chemistry, or potion making over the years and had enjoyed playing around with it. My friends did too. But then something else dramatic in my life happened. My friend made the wrong potion, which was deadly, and used on all the animals she could find. The point of the potion was to make animals full without them actually eating. But something went wrong. Oh so very wrong. She put a poison in it, which infected the animals and made them terribly sick. Even Fluttershy couldn't do anything. My friends tried everything to help, but it just got worse. Then I thought about the body of a plant. Mainly when something in a plant or even a regular pony is bad and they get rid of it, they throw it up. But we just couldn't do that. There were two ways of doing this. They could get it out the other end. But there was only one potion that could make animals do that. Only one. Nopony even knows it still exists, since it was from Starswirls time. It was hard. It took 3 hours to get it perfect. Just like the drawing in the book. It took us even longer to give it to all the infected animals. Really long. SERIOUSLY LONG. But we did it in eight hours. Then I saw a flash of light. A BRIGHT light. Then I disappeared and I felt like I was being swung around like a lasso. And then it stopped. And light appeared, like the one before I disappeared. Then Celestia appeared, and with her, Luna. They both stood there looking at me, smiling. I honestly thought they looked like dopes. I got up. <br /> <br />"W-why am I here Princess?" I said worriedly. <br /> <br />"It's time Lilly. I-we have been watching you ever since the death of your friend." said Luna.<br /> <br />"Time for...?" I dragged out my words. <br /> <br />"You must fulfill your destiny." said Celestia pointing at my cutie mark. <br /> <br />"The crown!" I exclaimed. <br /> <br />"You must join our race, for you are truly one of US!" Luna exclaimed as both princesses lifted up their horn and performed a spell sending me into the air.<br /> <br />I don't know what happened after that, but all I know is that I woke up feeling different. My wings felt bigger and there was something I felt atop my head.<br /> <br />"Gosh." said one of my friends staring at me. <br /><br />"Wha-what happened?! Why are you looking at my that way!?" I said frustrated.<br /> <br />Celestia walked behind me. You are truly worthy of being an alicorn princess, Lilly." she stated.<br /> <br />I looked in a pocket mirror and gasped. "AN ALICORN?" I yelled. <br /> <br />Celestia brought forth to me a crown, the same as my cutie mark! She placed it atop my head. I was truly honored. <br />--------------------<br />"And that my fillies is my life story, up until now of course." I said. The classroom roared with excitingly. <br /> <br />"Thank you" I said. <br /> <br />"Let's give Princess Lilly a hand shall we class?" said Cheerilee as the class roared up once more. <br /> <br />"Aha, thank you young ponies" I said as I left.<br />
