Basic Training
Seth and Brandon.....
"Alright you rookies!" Said Rainbow Dash, "Let's see how well you do today. Since I've never really seen you two fly, we're gonna start off with a little evaluation test."
"Please," said Brandon, "I don't need a fucking evaluation test. I can pull this flying thing off. It's as easy as flapping a wing. Which is exactly what I'll be doing."
"Oh Yeah?" said Rainbow Dash, " care to put those words to the test?"
"Anytime bitch! as a matter of fact, let's have a little race," Brandon said.
Immediatley Seth pulled Brandon to the side. "I'm sorry about that. Brandon can sometimes be a competitive asshole at times."
Brandon jumped back in, "Dafuq you talking about?! I'm not competitive!
"Sure you aren't," said Seth," Anyways Rainbow, when do we get started?"
"We can get started now," said Rainbow Dash, "Just as soon as Brandon here lightens up."
"Statement noted," said Seth, "Brandon would you kindly, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
"Okay! You say I have problems!" Brandon calmed down, "Fine then, Let's do this shit!!"

Chandler and Micheal.....
"Why the hell are we in here!" Chandler exclaimed, They were both sent to the local school in Ponyville to complete some basic studies. Not that any of the two wanted that. While all the otheres were off either flying or learning magic, they were stuck in regular old school.
"Look, Celestia said we just have to complete some basic training on the culture here. Seeing that we're going to be here a while, it'd be better to catch up on stuff," Said Michael
"Look," Chadnler said, "We should be out there with Brandon or Taylor. You know, casting magic, flying through the sky. Shit like that."
"I know, but from what I hear, our kind is limited on what we can do." Said Michael
Chandler exclaimed, "The fuck do you mean by our kind?"
"Didn't you notice how Seth and Brandon had wings, and Taylor and Hunter had a horn on their heads," Michael said "We don't. We're just the regular earth ponies. So we CAN'T do all the stuff they can."
Suddenly the door to the classroom opened. Mrs. Cherilee walked into the classroom. Behind her aswell walked in three little fillies. a small white unicorn with purple and white mane, an orange pegasus with an even darker shade of purple man, and Applejack's little sister Applebloom, who immediately recognized the two.
She approached them, "What are you two doing here. Aren't ya'll a bit old for school?"
"Well, Princess Celestia sent us here to catch up on some of your culture." Said Michael
"Why wouldn't ya'll know the culture," said Applebloom
The two remembered. No one but the six and the two princesses knew about who they really were. What kind of lie would they have to make up to get out of there? Just then Cherilee stood behind Applebloom.
"Applebloom, get into your seat." She said as she looke over at the two other fillies with Applebloom, "That goes for you two as well."
The three marched on over to their seats.
"I'm Scootaloo by the way," The orange pegasus said
"And I'm Sweetie Bell," Said the white unicorn
The two looked at each other. They both knew that there was no way they were going to stay in some school. They had to break out.

Taylor and Hunter.....
Taylor and Hunter were sent to the royal Canterlot school for gifted unicorns. Lucky for them they received special tutoring from Twilight as part of her new initiation as a princess. The day outside was clear and the hallways were empty. Everyone was in class. The two were earlier told to report to the library. There they would receive important information about the elements. They stepped in to the large colorful library. The colts bounced around the room. There was too much to take in at the moment. They found Twilight near a table all the way in the back of the library. As she checked the shelves, examining the book, Taylor approached her.
"So," said Taylor, " Why did all of us get separated, I mean, couldn't we all just have attended the same school,"
Twilight pulled a book out of the shelf and placed it on the table, "Well," She said, "No not really. For example, Pegasi must be trained specifically in flight. They run things in a very old school way up in Cloudsdale. Pegasi with high performance grades at the end of their flight test get put into the Royal Guard, or competitive flying, or really any activity that requires a large amount of endurance. Where as for the ones who either do average or fail, get placed into jobs that require less activity, such as merchants, Weather patrol, or Weather Factory workers."
"Wait," said Hunter, "So Pegasi have end up getting put into a job for the rest of their life?"
"What did Fluttershy end up with?" asked Taylor
"Fluttershy left Cloudsdale when she was just a filly," said Twilight
"And Rainbow Dash?" asked Hunter,
'She dropped out of school and was put into weather patrol," said Twilight, "but as you guys know; she has an obsession with joining the wonder bolts. But we're getting off topic now. First things first, you guys are going to have know more about magic."
Twilitght slammed around twenty books in front of them. The two were left speechless by the size of the tower of books.
"So," she said, "You guys get to reading these books, I'll be back in a few hours to check on your progress."
Twilight left the library. The two were now left in there with the tower of books in front of them. They had no choice. It was for the best. They grabbed the first copy and began to read.

Brandon and Seth……
Brandon and Seth had just finished their flight test. Both did an exceptional job that day. They rested on a nearby cloud as Rainbow Dash sat with them.
"So Seth," said Rainbow Dash, "You did a pretty good job today, especially whith the cloud rings"
"What," said Seth, "Oh thanks,"
It wasn't everyday you got a pat on the back for flying back in their world. Brandon stared off into the sunset. He felt a strange warmth in his gut as he gazed upon the never-ending Equestrian horizon. He looked over at Rainbow Dash and Seth and grinned.
Rainbow Dash looked over at him, "Well Brandon," She said, " Turns out you're not terrible,"
Brandon chuckled, "Yeah, and you're not too bad yourself,"
Rainbow Dash smiled, "What? I totally beat you in the race earlier today,"
"Nah," said Brandon, "I totally won that. I'm a fucking king at this."
Dash laughed, "So, What exactly does that mean?"
"What does what mean?" asked Brandon
"That word you used," said Rainbow Dash,
"What word?" said Seth, "Fucking?"
Rainbow Dash nodded. The kind of language was really new to all of Equestria. The words were obviously crafted by humans. Brandon and Seth though still remained puzzled by the fact that they had never heard that word before. How was it that they knew every word of the English except for the profanities.
"Well," said Brandon, "It's word for expressing. They're normally considered bad in our world or offensive. But it's expressing yourself in way that shows that no matter what society says, we can express that we're individuals and won't be tied down,"
"Well that's one way of putting it," said Seth
Rainbow Dash giggled, "Well is there anyway you can teach me?"
"Sure," said Brandon, "after another race. Last one back to Ponyville buys dinner!"
The two Pegasi bolted off into the night. Seth stayed on the cloud as he began thinking more about the world and the possibility of them going back home. Then out of the darkness, a shadowy figure in a black robe and hood approached him from behind. The figure was obviously a Pegasus, as he was standing on a cloud. His wings weren't visible though due to the robe.
He spoke, "Lovely night isn't it?"
Seth turned and noticed him, "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is of no importance young Pegasus. I will tell you this however. Your life is soon about to take a dramatic change. For you and your friends. You will soon know that your connection to this world is greater than you think. And every pony is counting on you to bring about this new age."
"What are you talking about," said Seth, "All we want to is to go home. We got here on accident….."
"What you consider to be an accident, is considered to be destiny by many," said the strange pony,
"What are you trying to say?" Seth asked
"All I am saying is this," the pony said, "You all are more than you think. If all of you remain allies, much good can from that. If you all turn and become each others enemies, The world will suffer as well. Follow the right path and everything will be alright."
The cloud the mysterious pony was standing on expanded and engulfed the pony in fog. The cloud disintegrated and no pony was in sight.

Chandler and Michael……..

Chandler and Michael had to escape the school. They weren't going to just sit around in a boring classroom listening to Cheerilee go on about the Great Pegasi and Griffin war. They look at the door but knew there wouldn't be a way to get out without ramming Cheerilee over, which would ultimately be very contradictory to the fact that they are good and not bad. They had to cause some chaos without hurting any pony. Chandler looked down and noticed a large pack of C-4 in his hooves. Michael looked over.
"What the fuck is that?" Michael whispered, "Is that C-4? How the fuck do you have C-4? You don't even have pockets."
"I don't know," said chandler, "I just…. Thought of it. I was in serious need of an explosive and then this thing appeared."
Chandler looked to the wall and had a rush of excitement. He took the C-4 and threw it straight at the wall. The wall collapsed into rubble until there was a large hole big enough to fit a large boulder through. The two ponies jumped out the wall and completely ditched the school. Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, And Applebloom decided to follow along. The two heroes set off. They just kept running. They knew nothing could stop them at this point. They ran and ran with the three little fillies right behind them.
"I can't believe we just did that!" said Michael,
"Believe it," Said Chandler,
"You," Michael said, "You're fucking insane!"
The two stopped and looked. They were now on the edge of the notorious Everfree Forest. But it wasn't the forest that stopped them. Out from the trees a pony with the same robe as the pony that met Seth stepped out into the light.
"Sir," said Michael, "Who are you?"
"I will make this quick," The strange pony said, "You two are following a path that will show you the truth behind your lives. So I will leave you with a warning, do not listen to the voice of "Reason" that will attempt to guide you. For it is not the path that you will want, but the path that it wants. Keep your minds focused and strong, I will be seeing you shortly heroes,"
And just like that, the mysterious pony disappeared in a veil of fog. He left no trace at all. What did this all mean? Who was that mysterious pony? And more importantly, what did he mean by "the voice of reason,"? The three fillies behind them caught up. They were exhausted.
"What happened back there?" asked Scootaloo,
"I don't know kid," said Chandler, "I don't know,"

Hunter and Taylor…..
Hunter and Taylor were tired out. They collapsed on the desk after their long day of reading. Taylor set down a book on the table. It was late. The sun had already gone down and the lamps in the library lit up the room with it still maintaining its bright colors.
"Well," he said, "We did it,"
"Yeah," Hunter said, "Fifteen fucking hours of reading. I don't think I want to pick up another book again."
"Speak for yourself," Twilight walked into the room, "You guys look tired, I trust that you read all the books,"
"Unfortunately for us," said Hunter, "we did,"
The two tired unicorns still stood up and and placed the books back into their shelves with the help of Twilight. After they finished they went into the hallways to head back to their rooms.
Twilight spoke, "You know, I have high hopes for all of you,"
"What do you mean?" said Taylor
"I really think you guys can bring around a new era for Equestria," said Twilight
"Yeah well," said Hunter, "One can only hope,"
"Well you guys have already made a good impression on everyone you've met so far." said Twilight, "I don't care what anyone says. You guys are the heroes that'll help us all."
They all came up to the hallway with all the dorms. Taylor and Hunter both had their own room and they knew where they were located. With all of them tired,they all headed into their rooms and went to bed. The night was silent and calm. Not a single noise came from the outside. It was actually peaceful. As Hunter slowly fell asleep he could though hear a faint whisper in his head. It lopped over and over again as he tried to figure out what it was saying. He tried as hard as he could to focus on the noise. What it said though was strange, It puzzled Hunter at what he heard. The same loop over and over again that kept saying, "Isn't it a beautiful night?"
