-Dusk Shine's P.O.V-

Have you ever felt like you were a little bit different? Like you had something unique to offer all of Equestria, if you could just get ponies to see it? Then you know exactly how it felt...to be me. When I was a colt, I raised my hoof, and my teacher named Cheerliee looked at me as she said "Go ahead, Dusk Shine." I smiled as I get up from my desk, walked up to the front of the class, and looked at my classmates. I cleared my throat, and said "What is the number one problem facing our community today? Holes in the bags." Some of my classmates who had a small hole in their bags looked at me as I said "Which is why I've invented an alternative hole covering, Spray-On Bag." I held up the spray, and the white bag with a large hole in it with my magic, and sprayed the spray on the hole, sealing it up instantly. My classmates became impressed as they said "Wow! Whoa!" Just then, the class bully named Trixter said "How're you gonna get it open, nerd?!"

My face paled as they started laughing, and I muttered "Uh oh." I tried opening the bag, but it didn't do any good as Trixter said "What a geek! He wants to be smart, but that's lame!" I struggled to open the bag, but when I sucessfully opened it, the hole I sprayed on repopened, and my classmates laughed again. Later that day, I ran into the empty street in the rain as I cried. I wanted to run away that day, but you can't run away from your own hooves. In my bedroom, I sat on my bed while crying as I threw my invention to the floor. Just then, my father named Night Light and my mother named Twilight Velvet went up to my bedroom door as she gestered my father to say something, and he said "Uh...not every fish jumps in the net son." "I don't understand fishing metaphors!" I yelled out as I flopped the bed. "What did I say?" My father asked. "Don't worry." My mother said as she opened the door. "Honey, I think your spray is wonderful." She sat on my bed as I hid my face in the pillow.

"Everypony just thinks I'm a weirdo." I said. Twilight Velvet pointed at the pony inventors as she said "So? Everypony else though that these stallions were weirdos too! But, that never stopped them." Then, she held up a white lab coat with her magic as she said "I was saving this for your birthday, but here." I gasped as she gave the lab coat to me, and I said "A professonal-gread lab coat. Just like the real stallions wear!" I put it on even though it was too big for me as I said "It fits perfect." "Equestria needs your originality, Dusk Shine." My mother said. "You just have to grow into it. And I know that you're gonna do big things someday." Feeling inspired, I hugged my mother, and as they left my bedroom, I drew a poster of myself, and placed it on the wall. Then, I ran out of my house, and went into my tree house lab, and I started working on a new project. From that moment on, I was determined to invent something great. Eventually.
