The new club

"Alright class we have a new student joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself." Ms Cheerilee said.

"Hi my name is Solo Rig." The young light teal colt said he had a bright blue long shaggy mane with orange on the tips with orange eyes and was an earth pony.

"Take a seat." Ms Cheerilee said.

"Ok." Solo said as he sat down next to Scootaloo.

"Alright as you all know the annual school fitness competition is coming up and you all are expected to be in teams of three by the end of this semester. Along with a team name and mascot." Ms Cheerilee said

After school "Uhh where is she." Sweetiebelle said

"Your waiting to." Solo asked

"Yeah she said she would be here by now." Sweetiebelle said.

"My brother said the same thing." Solo said

"Finally your here." Sweetiebelle said

"Sorry Im late I ran into a colt on the way here." Rarity said

"So." Sweetiebelle said

"I got caught up talking to him and I lost track o time when it turned out he was coming here to." Rarity said

"Sup Solo." The colt standing next to her said he had a blue coat and a green mane.

"Took you long enough." Solo said

"Sorry just don't tell your sister okay." The colt said

"Why." Solo asked

"Cause she would kill me if she knew I was late picking you up." The colt said

"Archer you didn't tell me you had a sister." Rarity said

"Yeah she is my twin her name is Stylist." Archer said

"Do you wan to accompany us to Sugar Cube corner to meet some of my friends." Rarity asked

"I can't I'm already late as it is." Archer said

"I see." Rarity said

"Come on Solo let go home." Archer said

"Alright." Solo said

Later. "I'm going outside." Solo yelled

"Be back by 7." Archer yelled

"Got it." Solo said

"Hey what's your name" A aqua colored pegeaus asked he had a red out of control mane and silver eyes

"Solo yours." Solo asked

"Wake." The colt said

"You want to hang out." Solo asked

"Sure I mean us blank flanks have to stick together." Wake said

"Yep." Solo said

"Have you heard of the cutie mark crusaders." Wake asked

"Wasn't that some type of war." Solo asked

"No it's this girls only club that tries to find their cutie marks.

"So." Solo asked

"I was thinking we could start are own club like that but we need a third member." Wake said

"How about we walk around town and see if we can find one." Solo said

"Sounds good." Wake said

After a hour of looking around they finally found one. "What's your name." Wake asked

"My name is Trout." The brown unicorn said he had a green well kept mane with a bright red streak through it and blue eyes.

"I'm Solo Rig and this is my friend Wake." Solo said

"So what are you two wanting." Trout asked

"To see if you wanted to join our club the Cutie Mark Hunters." Wake said

"Isn't that like the cutie mark crusaders." Trout asked

"Except way cooler and for boys only." Wake said

"Sure why not do you all have a club house or something." Trout asked

"No." Solo said

"Well I have an idea there's a shack on a lake behind Sweet Apple Acres." Wake said

"So we'll go there tomorrow." Solo said.

"Right after school." Trout said

"How about we're all on each others fitness team." Wake said

"Sure." Trout said

"Sounds good." Solo said

"Alright I got to go my sister needs m to e at home in a few minutes." Wake said

"Mine to." Trout said

"Me to." Solo said

The next day. "Hey what are we doing after school today." Scootaloo asked

"I told ya a thousand times water skiin at the lake by my house." Applebloom said

"Alright just asking." Scootaloo said

"Hey have you noticed that three blank flank colts have been hanging out together." Sweetiebelle asked

"Why Is that weird." Applebloom asked

"Cause it would mean they might be in a club like ours." Sweetiebelle said

"So your point." Scootaloo asked

"Maybe we should combine our club with theirs." Sweetiebelle suggested

"Not happening girls only remember." Scootaloo said

After school. "You all are coming over right." Sweetiebelle asked

"Sorry Sweetiebelle I just have to much work to do to watch all of you today." Rarity said

"So you all ready for a night of horror movies, video games, and fun." Solo said
"Duh of course I am." Wake said

"Count me in to." Trout said

"You can't stay up to late you know." Archer said
"Rarity what's wrong?"

"Nothing I just can't have Sweetiebelle have her friends sleep over tonight." Rarity said

"That's funny Solo is having his friends over. If you want they can come over to." Archer said

"Are you sure they're a hand full." Rarity said

"Don't worry it's fine." Archer said

"Sweetiebelle if you want to have your sleepover Archer has offered to allow you to stay at his house." Rarity said

"Quick meeting." Applebloom said

"Sleepover but those boys will be there." Applebloom said

"It's that or nothing." Scootaloo said

"I say we do it." Sweetiebelle said

"Alright then we will." Applebloom said

"Yes we would like to stay with Archer." Sweetiebelle said

"Alright then come on." Archer said

"Hey I though no girls allowed Solo." Wake said

"Sorry I didn't know they were coming." Solo said

"I'm sure my brother and his friends won't mind sharing the house WOULD THEY." Archer said

"No we don't mind at all." Solo said

"Alright first stop movie rental store." Archer said

"One two three break." Wake said as he and the others ran off in three different directions.

"How about this one." Applebloom said as picked out a movie with a picture of a vampire on it

"No that's not even scary. Not to mention its a girls movie." Wake. Said

"How about this one." Scootaloo asked holding up a movie with a picture of a zombie with rainbows in the background.

"Zombie hills no that's a terrible Zombie movie." Trout said

"FOUND IT." Sweetiebelle yelled holding up a movie with a picture of little animated dinosaurs on it.

"Nice Sweetiebelle." Scootaloo said

"Great I love that movie." Applebloom said

"FOUND IT." Solo yelled holding up a movie with a picture of a pony sized lizard covered in spikes and with blood stained claws.

"Sweet Spikicution 2 the hunting." Wake said

"So scary rumor has it a pony died from the shear horror of it." Trout said

"Alright ready to go." Archer said

"Yep." The six of them said

"Wait I said one movie since we only have one TV you all are going to have to find a movie you all can agree on." Archer said

"Fine." The six said as they went back to searching

"Return of Slendermane." Trout said

"No how about the care bunnies." Applebloom said

"No how about Trapped." Wake said

"No how about Star Mares." Scootaloo said

"To girly how about Curse of the Factory." Solo said

"No to weird how about Night of the undead 5." Sweetiebelle said

"I didn't know you were into zombies." Solo said

"That what this one's about no thanks." Sweetiebelle said

"What about Hearts and Hooves day." Wake said with an evil grin and nudging Solo and Trout

"Sounds fine with me." Scootaloo said

"Yay a romantic movie maybe you boys aren't so bad after all." Sweetiebelle said

"If its alright with y'all it's fine with me." Applebloom said

"Then it's settled." Solo said

"I'm surprised that you all decided on this." Archer said

At Solo's house. "Hey would you kids settle down." Solo's sister said she had a white coat blonde mane green eyes and scissors cutting hair for a cutie mark

"Stylist let them have their fun." Archer said

"Tag your it." Solo said as he touched Sweetiebelle

"Hey." Sweetiebelle said as she started to run after Solo

"Archer do something." Stylist said

"Fine movie time." Archer said all of the foals stopped dead in their tracks

"I'll start the movie." Stylists said

An hour into the movie. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH." The cmc screamed along with Trout

"Roooooaaaarrrr." A figure yelled as he tackled Solo causing them to scream again except this time it was everypony
"Got you." Archer said as he started giving a noogey to solo.

"Archer knock it off." Solo said

"Get him." Wake said as he jumped on Archer

"Attack." Trout said as he did the same

"Would you four knock it off." Stylist said

"Alright off to bed." Archer said

"Awwww." The foals said

They had to share Solo's room which meant four of them had to sleep on the floor.

"Hey did you hear that." Wake asked waking up Solo

"Hear what." Solo asked footsteps could be heard from downstairs

"That." Wake said

"It's probably my brother." Solo said

"But what if it isn't." Wake said "What if its the KILLER." Wake said waking everypony else up

"What's with all the screaming." Applebloom asked

"Ssshhh." Wake said as he pointed to a dark silhouette walking up the stairs

"Who is that." Sweetiebelle asked

"I don't know." Trout said

"Now where are those little foals." The figure said

"What should we do." Scootaloo asked

"Hide maybe." Solo said

"No way everypony for themselves." Wake said as he ran towards the figure

"You won't get me." Wake said as he tried to fly at the figure

"Wow easy now it's just me." Archer said

"Hey why were you trying to scare us." Solo asked

"Thought it would be fun." Archer said

In the morning. "Come along girls lets get you home." Rarity said as she picked up the cmc.
"Thank you." Rarity said

"No problem really any time." Archer said

"Solo come on we need to get to work on our clubhouse." Wake said

"Alright lets go." Solo said

On the lake behind Sweet Apple Acres. "This was the clubhouse you were talking about." Trout said

"It just needs need a little work." Wake said

"He's right it just needs to be fixed up. I bet we can get it done by tomorrow." Solo said

"Then lets get started." Wake said

After a whole day of work it was finally finished

"I have to go home." Trout said

"Alright I gotta go to." Solo said

"See ya tomorrow." Wake said

At school the next day. "Alright class today we start a partner project and no groups of three this time." Cheerilee said

"Great." Scootaloo said rolling her eyes

"I will be assigning the groups Solo with Sweetiebelle Trout with Scootaloo and Wake with Applebloom. Spoon with snips Diamond tiara with snails and Twist with Featherweight." Cheerilee said she continued to call put names followed by their partner for a minute or two
"Alright now everypony find your partner." Cheerilee said
"Looks like I'm with you." Solo said

"Yeah looks like it." Sweetiebelle said

"What is this project anyways and why are with ponies hat we don't know." Diamond tiara yelled out

"This project is about harmony and your not with your usual groups because this is also a project about getting to know each other and finding flaws about yourself and its by order of princess Celestia she wants you to write her a letter about what this project teaches you about friendship. Also these partners will be who your staying with for our camping trip." Cheerilee said

"But are most groups a boy with a girl." Snips said

"Yeah normally it's boys with boys and girls with girls." Featherweight said

"Because you all as a class work with the same person every time or when I make you switch it's always with somepony that is the same gender as you. This way you will learn about how the other half lives." Cheerilee said

"Kill me now please." Wake whispered to Solo

"She hasn't even explained what we're doing yet who knows it might be fun." Solo whispered

"Remember bros before does." Wake whispered

"Yeah I know it's not like I like like her." Solo whispered

"I know that." Wake whispered

"Is there a problem boys." Cheerilee said

"No." The two said in unison

"Good now continuing with the project there is another reason I grouped you like this one of balances out the other. For example Solo is rough fearless and Sweetiebelle is soft and fearful. Anyways continuing on topic you partner will be your partner for the next three weeks and for our over night camping trip in the Forest." Cheerilee said

"Uhh Ms Cheerilee how do me and Wake balance out." Applebloom asked

"It's Wake and I and Applebloom your hard working and respectful Wake is lazy and rude." Cheerilee said

"What about Scootaloo and I." Trout said

"Scootaloo is proud out going and impatient while you are timid lack confidence in yourself and patient." Cheerilee said
"One last you will be switching off who's house your staying with you. Your guardians have already been informed of that." Cheerilee said as the bell rung

"So we have to live together for three weeks." Wake said

"Yeah." Applebloom said

"NNNNNOOOOOO." Wake yelled

"Hey it could be worse." Solo said

"How." Wake asked "Three weeks with a girl no war movies scary things or anything."

"You could be stuck with Diamond Tiara." Solo said

"You bring up an excellent point." Wake said

"Solo Sweetiebelle it's time to go." Rarity said

"Alright but I need to get my stuff." Solo said

"Archer already dropped it off." Rarity said

At the boutique. "What do you think." Sweetiebelle said as she showed Solo her room

"A little girly but I can live with it." Solo said

At sweet apple acres. "Wait you mean I'm going to have to work." Wake said

"Yeah everypony does here ill show you what you have to do tomorrow right now just make your self at home." Applebloom said

At Scootaloos house. "I didn't think you were in to boys stuff." Trout said

"What you thought I was girly." Scootaloo said

"Sorry maybe this won't be as bad as I thought." Trout said

Chapter 2 the Lockdown

"Everypony here good." Cheerilee said. "Now the school is having an over night lockdown tomorrow and I am making it mandatory for you to attend. You and your partner will have to share a tent, sleeping bag, and other things that you bring." Cheerilee said

"Why are you requiring us to do this." Wake asked

"Because in order to complete this project and go on the camping trip you have to learn to share with your partner." Cheerilee said.

"What will we be doing in the lockdown." Featherweight asked

"We will be practicing for our camping trip." Cheerilee said

"You know what that means." Wake whispered nudging Solo

"Yeah little extra practice." Solo whispered.

"Do you two want to share any plans your thinking of with the rest of the class." Cheerilee said

"No." Solo said

"Yes." Wake said while Solo faced hoofed

"Well then what are they." Cheerilee asked

"We're planning on a scaring competition to see who is scarier." Wake said as he stood on top of his desk

"Idiot." Solo said

"Scaring competition well that sounds fun but I doubt you can scare anypony now." Cheerilee pointed out

"You see my friend Solo hear knows some pretty scary ghost stories we were going to see who could tell scariest story." Wake said

"Excellent I expect to hear both of yours and ill have Rainbowdash tell hers." Cheerilee said

"Alright." Wake said.

After school. "You're going down Solo." Wake said

"Last time I told my story it made a pony cry." Solo said

"Last time I told mine it made a pony wet themselves." Wake said

"Your going down." Solo said

"No your going down." Wake said

"Uhh would you two stop." Trout said

"Solo hurry up." Sweetiebelle whined

"I'm coming." Solo said

At the boutique
"Sweetiebelle did you try to make dinner." Rarity said

"Solo helped we were practicing for the camping trip." Sweetiebelle said

"Oh that explains why it isn't burned." Rarity said

"Hey." Sweetiebelle said

"Solo where did you learn to cook." Rarity asked

"My sister taught me." Solo said

At Sweet Apple acres
"That's it I quit." Wake said

"It's been five minutes and ya haven't even done anythin." Applebloom said

"Exactly I don't want to." Wake said

"Ms Cheerilee is right your way to lazy." Applebloom said.

"Are ya even listen to me." Applebloom said

"No." Wake said

"This is gonna be a long three weeks." Applebloom said

At Scootaloos
"Hey watch it." Scootaloo said as she stopped her scooter.

"Sorry you're the one going fast at me." Trout said

Lockdown night
"Solo Sweetiebelle Trout Scootaloo Wake and Applebloom you all will be staying in this room along with Rainbowdash Archer and Raritu being your supervisors." Cheerilee said

"Sweet Rainbowdash is here." Scootaloo said

"And Wake and Solo I look forward to your ghost stories." Cheerilee said
"That reminds me your going down Solo." Wake said

"No you are." Solo said

"Archer I didn't know you were going to be here." Rarity said

"Well I heard you might need help." Archer said. "But I thought you could handle it."

"There you go again flattering me." Rarity said

"If you want I'll stop." Archer said

"I wasn't complaining I like it." Rarity said

"Before you two start flirting who's sleeping where and there are only two tents for us." Rainbowdash said

"Wait there are five tents." Trout said

"You moron remember we have to share with our partner." Wake said

"I sleep in one and you girls can stay in the other." Archer said

"Alright then." Rarity said

"So Solo what story are you telling." Wake asked

"Why should I tell you." Solo said

"Well I'm telling the old mare in the forest." Wake said

"I'm telling Slendermane." Solo said

"Hey isn't that a little much Solo." Archer said

"Nope." Solo said

"What's wrong with a little ghost story." Rarity asked

"It's not the story it's how detailed he explains it that makes it scary." Archer said

"How detailed could one colt make it." Rarity asked

"Enough to traumatize." Archer said
shuttering at old stories Solo had told.
"Oh really." Rainbowdash said rolling her eyes

"This is my side and that is yours." Wake said as he put tape down the middle of their tent.

"We can put our drinks and food here and still have enough room for us to sleep and our other stuff." Sweetiebelle said

"Cool." Solo said.

"Could you be a little patient Scootaloo." Trout said as he was trying to set up the tent.

"Everypony else has their tents up already." Scootaloo said.

"Have it." Trout said as he admired his work.

"Lets eat." Archer said

"Alright anypony know how to cook on a grill." Rarity asked

"Don't look at me." Archer said

"I don't Rainbowdash said

"Wait your brother did what." Sweetiebelle said while laughing.

"He dyed my sisters coat and mane white and pretended she was dead. I never seen my sister so angry." Solo said as the tent door zipped open.

"Sorry am I ruining something here." Archer said

"What no." Solo said

"Are you sure you two seem to be having a good time." Archer said

"What do you want." Solo said

"Did Stylist teach you how to grill." Archer asked

"No but she taught me to order pizza." Solo said

"Alright what's the number." Archer asked as he pulled his phone out.

"401 3841." Solo said

"Alright the usual." Archer asked

"Plus whatever anypony else wants." Solo said

"Sweetiebelle what do you want." Archer asked

"I'll have cheese Applebloom would want a veggie and Scootaloo likes olives on hers." Sweetiebelle said

"Got it." Archer said

"Wake likes pineapple and Trout likes peppers." Solo said

"Hey Rarity what type of pizza do you want." Archer asked

"I'll have the same as Sweetiebelle." Rarity said

"I'll have breadsticks." Rainbowdash said.

A few minutes later.
"Hey Solo I need somepony to help carry the pizza." Archer said.

"Alright I'll be right back Sweetiebelle." Solo said

After they walked out of the room.
"Do you have a crush on Sweetiebelle." Archer asked

"What no." Solo said

"So yes then." Archer said

"What about you and Rarity." Solo said

"She isn't my type." Archer said

"Then what about that other mare I saw you hanging out with in your room." Solo asked

"How did you know about that." Archer asked

"I'm the last one asleep and first one up I know everything." Solo said

"There is nothing between me and Colgate." Archer said

"What are you boys doing." Cheerilee asked

"Getting our pizza." Archer said

"You mean this pizza." Cheerilee asked while holding up five large pizza boxes.

"Yeah that's ours." Archer said

"Here." Cheerilee said as she handed them the pizzas.

Back in the room
"Hey Sweetiebelle what's going on with you and Solo." Scootaloo asked as she entered the tent.

"Nothing we're just friends." Sweetiebelle said

"So your saying that you don't like him. I'll just tell him then." Scootaloo said.

"Wait no he might get the wrong idea." Sweetiebelle said

"So you dooo liiiikkkkkeeeeee hiiiiimmmm." Scootaloo said in a mocking tone.

"Excuse me." Wake said as he entered the tent.

"What do you want." Scootaloo asked

"I just over heard Sweetiebelle here and I just wanted to tell her hoofs off Solo." Wake said. "Or else ill tell him."

"Alright." Sweetiebelle said

"Hey guys pizzas here." Solo said.

"Be right there." Wake said.

After dinner it was ghost story time.
"As the foal turned around all she could see was Slendermane's face." Solo yelled and laughed evilly as the others screamed.

"Alright you all off to bed." Archer said

"If I can sleep at all." Trout said

"Yeah." Scootaloo said.

The next school day
"Alright class what did you all learn about each other on lockdown night." Cheerilee asked. "Yes Snips."

"Diamond Tiara snores." Snips said
as the class bursted out laughing.

"Anypony else. Yes Scootaloo." Cheerilee said

"Trout sleep walks." Scootaloo said

"Alright then anypony else." Cheerilee asked "Yes Applebloom."

"Wake drools in his sleep." Applebloom said again the class once again bursted out laughing.

"Anypony learn anything about what a pony does not do in their sleep." Cheerilee asked as she face hoofed. "Yes Sweetiebelle."

"Don't have Solo tell a ghost story or else you don't get sleep." Sweetiebelle said.

"Alright I was thinking more of a personality or a characteristic of a pony." Cheerilee said.
