A New Day
Load Full StoryNext ChapterDear _________
You have been accepted to go to Eclipse Academy under a degree in the art of magic. You have passed your entire magic test with flying colors in the past and can’t wait to see what you can do in person. When you arrive stop by the Lunar Building where you will meet me and where you will obtain your schedule, uniform, and room key. Once you arrive at the airport a couple of students will be there to pick you up, they will be wearing their school uniforms so they shouldn’t be a challenge to find. You will be sharing a room in Dorm A and they have been notified of your arrival. We hope you have a great and successful year here at Eclipse Academy.
Signed Co-Headmaster Luna
As you stared at the paper for the one millionth times during your flight, you set the note down and look back to what’s laid out on your desk. An incomplete magic circle, a basic one at that for a levitation spell that could be performed by almost anyone with the power of magic. But to fully master a spell one must decipher and understand it’s meaning through the magic circle, only some that are truly gifted in magic can see magic circles which helps them understand and fully master spells. There are only a few spells even masters of magic cannot understand; one example is Starswirl’s time reversal spell. Even he could not fully master it and he was the one who invented it. You pulled a thin black notebook with a Crescent moon on the front; it was the book you kept your best or difficult magic circles in. As you opened up the notebook to where your bookmark was in front of you was the magic circle for the time reversal spell.
You flipped through the page after page seeing many failures of the circle to decipher it, but you stopped after a minute. The circle laid out in front of you was the closest you were getting to deciphering it, so far you just have to finish it up a little more and it might be possible to stop time for a little bit. After a little bit a voice on the intercom said to put away any lose items, so you bookmarked the page and packed your bag. Once more you waited as the plane landed and once docked everyone on the flight started to leave. As you obtained your bag, the search for your ride begins but it doesn’t take long as you see a rainbow headed girl with cyan wings scanning the area in a uniform.
Below her was a girl with neat curly purple hair, wearing the same uniform as the girl above her waiting patiently. As you walked over to them the girl with the purple curls noticed you and stood there to make sure you were the student that was supposed to be picked up.
“Hey you and that rainbow headed girl wouldn’t happen to be students to Eclipse Academy would you?” Blunt and to the point is how you usually greeted people. The girl in front of you replied with a yes and quickly called her friend down. As she landed and began looking at you as if you were something alien to her, but you ignored her for a moment as you introduced yourself. The purple haired girl’s name was Rarity, and her rainbow headed friend was Rainbow Dash. So after talking for a few minutes Rarity decided it was time to head to the school. Once you approached the car that was as white as snow but ignoring that all of you began the drive home. On the way there they asked you questions about yourself which you replied to.
After about half an hour the campus to the academy, Rarity pulled up to the gates and dropped you and Rainbow off as she went to go park her car. Rainbow quickly pointed out the Lunar building that was a deep navy blue with star’s all over and in front was a full moon, so after saying bye you walked over and began to notice some students even though it was the afternoon were looking at you but they were ignored. Once inside the office was nearby, when you approached it a sign on the door said ‘Co-Headmaster Luna’s office’ so you knocked and heard a voice
“Come in”. As you open the door you stared at Luna who was looking right back at you before you sat your stuff down and sat down in front of her desk.
“It’s nice to finally meet you; we have been looking forward to your arrival. But before I give you your schedule I want to make an offer. How would you like to be my personal student? I have seen all of your magic scores and have talked to your past teachers about your amazing skills and needless to say we are impressed. Our dear older sister has her own personal student named Twilight Sparkle which who you will meet soon. It is completely up to you to accept this request or not, if you do accept it I will be teaching you personal what I know in the arts of magic but you still will have the basic classes just extra tutoring and if you don’t accept you still will have normal classes just that your magic courses will be advanced.” As you thought over you're options you accepted Luna’s proposal, after a couple of questions and making sure everything was set she handed you everything you would need for the school year. As she locked up the first building happened to be Dorm A which is where you will be staying, Luna said good night and walked off to the Teacher’s Dorm as you walked into your dorm. The main living room had some activity in it but you ignored meeting anyone till you were all set. As walked through the hallway making sure you were in the correct place you found your room ‘Room A50’ but before you pulled out your keys you were reminded you had a roommate that you didn’t want to startle by just walking in. Once you knocked you heard the stopping of water you guessed they just got out of the shower.
“Hold on just a second please” Said a feminine voice, but that surprised you no way they allowed guys and girls to share a room but that idea was shot down when the door opened. In front of you stood a girl with azure eye’s, her hair was still messy but had different streaks of purple going through the front of her hair, but what surprised you most was that she was only wearing a TOWEL!
“Hi you must be my new roommate? My name is Twilight Sparkle it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Twilight replied with a smile, but not wanting to be rude you introduced yourself with a stutter but she quickly cached on to that and was wondering why you were flustered. But then she looked down and saw she was only wearing a bath towel as the blood rose from her face embarrassed as she pushed you and slammed the door. After a painful five minutes Twilight opens the door still flustered and invites you in.
“Sorry about that, I guess I should have put on some actual clothes but I was in a hurry to see who was at the door.” She said as you looked around the room. In the back of the room there were a pair of patching desk for each side but Twilight’s side was all set up compared to yours, it looked plain while her side had old test and pictures hanging from her wall. As you set your bag down and began unpacking you and Twilight were telling each other a little about one another, she was telling you how she got into the gifted school of magic, a highly elite school for those in magic. But you weren't able to go to do your parents not having enough money, and she also told you she was Headmaster Celestia’s personal student which is something Luna told you about but it slipped your mind after the little incident.
“Oh yeah that reminds me Twilight, from today on I’m now Headmaster Luna’s personal student, seems like they put us here on purpose so if both of us are needed we are right here.” Twilight seemed surprised to hear that you were Luna’s personal student but after an assault of questions you looked at the time to see it time for dinner. Twilight said you could join her and a friend for dinner or she could bring you something back, so you decided to go with her. Along the way people were looking at you knowing that you weren’t here before.
“LOOK OUT!” Said a voice, but you weren’t quick enough as you were sent into the wall. When you opened your eyes a girl with golden hair and eyes that were out of placed was looking right back at you. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh I’m sorry are you all right; I looked away for a second and lost control of how I was flying.” After she finished her ramble she noticed she was still sitting on top of your chest which her face went red and quickly jumped up. After clearing everything up she introduced herself as Ditzy Doo or her nickname ‘Derpy’ which you didn't like. But keeping that comment to yourself she realized she still had something to do as she once again and said sorry and ran off. You and Twilight once again began walking and stopped under a tree on a hill where a girl wearing a green turtle neck sweater with a yellow skirt, and pink hair was sitting on the bench feeding the squirrels and birds. Twilight walked over to her as the two started a conversation, as you walked over Twilight began to introduce you. The pink hair girl in front of you looked nervous but Twilight said her name was Fluttershy and like her name says she is very shy. As you began your walk you felt a sudden force knock you over but once again as you opened your eyes a girl with pink hair that was put into pig tails smiled as her eyes were locked into yours.
“Oh oh oh oh oh, you must be new since I haven’t seen you around before. So what do you like? Do you like parties? I absolutely love parties, there one of the best things I can think of. Where are you from?” The hyper girl on top of you was suddenly picked up by a girl with a blonde hair but what surprised you most was her Stetson that sat on top of her head.
“Sorry ‘bout that partner, she’s just a bit hyper is all, anyway you must be new ‘ta name’s AppleJack but you can just call me AJ. The hyper one I’m holding here is Pinkie Pie.” At the mention of her name Pinkie waved to you as you got up, once you got up Fluttershy who you thought would keep her distance was making sure you were all right. All of you began to head to the café when twilight asked who you have meet so far, so far there is Luna, Twilight, Fluttershy, AJ, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Derpy. Twilight seemed surprised at the sound of hearing you have meet Rainbow and Rarity as you told them they were the ones that picked you up.
As you walked into the café the roar of the music was quite louder than you expected. After getting your food and sitting down some students noticed you and began talking to you and asking if you were new. After about half an hour of eating and talking during that time you have meet Thunderlane, Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, Colgate, Rose Luck, and Lily.
“It seems someone has been getting a lot of attention.” Said Twilight snickering, you couldn’t blame anyone for wanting to know who the new kid was. But as it was getting late everyone was starting to head back to their dorms before curfew. So you, Twilight, and Fluttershy headed towards dorm A, while AJ and Pinkie Pie walked to dorm B. After you got to your room you and Twilight said bye to Fluttershy as she headed towards her own room. Once inside you walked over toward your new desk and pulled out your notebook. Twilight said she had homework to do so there wasn't that much activity going on. You pulled out your sketching pencil and began to sketch lightly, after adding a few more lines you smiled in victory as once again you were getting closer to figuring out the magic to Starswirl’s own Time Reversal spell.
“Might I ask what you’re so happy about?” Twilight asked, you told her it was a secret which you wanted to surprise everyone with it. So Twilight put away all her books and said it was time for curfew. Once she turned off the lights you stood up and walked over towards the windows and stared at the night sky, something you always did right before you fell asleep.
“You know I was always fascinated with the stars since I was little.” Twilight told you as you kept looking towards the sky; you told her that it was something that you always did. That the stars were there for you during the happy and sad moments in your life. As you walked toward your bed and lay down you just pondered over what awaits you at this new school.
