My Life in a Nutshell

I saw Ms. Celosia stand, I sighed, knowing the rest of the day was going to be a boar.

"Good morning students!" Celosia said with a bubbly smile. I sighed, knowing the day would be long. I eventually drifted into a day dream. Ms. Celosia must have eventually noticed I was in a daydream, because I heard my name.

"Ember!" I heard Celosia say in an almost shout.

"67!" I yelled popping out of my daze. There was a giggle amongst the class, I saw the teacher give a sigh.

"Ember," she said sighing. "Please pay attention in class," I gave a curt nod.

"Great, now I'm a weirdo," I said under my breath. I could almost feel the ponies staring into the back of my head, that's how I stayed the rest of the day, blushing and keeping my head down. I heard the bell ring, and I zoomed out of the class room at top flying speed. I didn't even bother with Mystie, she was probably laughing too. I slammed the door to my home, finally breathing.

I actually kinda hid throughout my school career, until I finally had to go to summer flight school. I was honestly scared out of my mind, Mystie and I had became close friends, she realized I was shy. I was 11 years old now, and I felt sick as I walked into Sugar Cube Corner.

"Good morning Pinkie Pie!" I said seeing the pink earth pony mare.

"Hey Ember! Looking for Mystique?" She said with the same bounce as her daughter.

"Ya! Has she left yet?" I asked.

"No she was about too! Oh ya! I made a new thing of cupcakes, and I need a tester, wanna give em' a try?"  Pinkie asked holding out a batch of blue hued cupcakes. I took one hesitantly, and took a bite.

"Tastes like... wubs..." I said studying the cake, a multiple blue hued cake with a backwards double eight note.

"Ya the pony named Vinyl Scratch helped me make them!" She said grinning.

"Sup'?" asked a blue maned, dark pink eyed, earth pony. I tilted my head in confusion. Pinkie gave a giggle. At the moment I saw Mystie trot down the stairs.

"Mystie!" I said trotting over, potentially avoiding an awkward situation.

"Ember! Ready to go to Camp?" she asked. I nodded. "Let's get going then!" Mystie said grinning. We said goodbye to Pinkie Pie, and flew up to the clouds. Luckily, me and Mystie were probably some of the best flyers, that's why we got put in the advanced class with the older kids. We walked into the school, then found the check-in table.

"Advanced Class here!" Said a orange pegasus pony. Mystie and I flapped over to the table.

"Ember Ashes," I said to the orange pegasi, she scanned through the list.

"Oh! Report to the advanced course!" She said smiling.

"Mystique" she said. The pegasus looked through the list.

"Report to the advanced course" the pegasus reported a little more bluntly. Mystie and I flew to the advanced course, seeing a lot of older pegasus ponies. They stared at us oddly. I put on my best smile, knowing I'd look stupid if I didn't. About ten minuets later, a maroon pony appeared being about our age. She gave her rainbow mane a flip, and appeared to be cool and calm. She approached us calmly.

"Ladies," she said with a wink. I stifled a laugh, Mystie just stared awkwardly. "I'm Epick Ponyie! My friends call me Epick though." The maroon pegasi replied.

"Ember," I stated, I looked at Mystie.

"Mystie," she said finally.

"Well, I'm assuming you guys must be pretty good at flying, wanna show me what ya' got?" She asked in a cool tone.
