The first day of classes
Even though sleeping in a room with a Pegasus who had refused to even tell her her full name made her scared, Fluttershy was too tired to really stay awake and so even though her thoughts were filled the ideas of what Dash could do to her while she slept she couldn’t keep her eyes open, and so when she opened her eyes the next morning it was to be pleasantly surprised that her body was still in one piece and that Dash hadn’t done anything to make her wet the bed or something else. She rolled over on her side to look and she how long she had slept and when she saw what time it was her heart nearly burst through her chest.
6:45 am, oh Celestia, I overslept my first class starts in less than an hour! She shrieked in her head as she jumped up and started to gather all her supplies and other things she would need for them coming day, and rushed to the bathroom to find that Dash was already in the shower and the way she looked as the water raced off of her muscular body, and cascaded off of her spread wings was making her heart pound.
Why am I getting all flustered over seeing her in the shower, I mean I’ve seen other ponies in the shower before after all.
As she continued to watch Dash wash herself it was as if the Pegasus has no care in the world as the hot water relaxed her muscles in her neck and wings which were quite toned even for a Pegasus, and suddenly she threw her long rainbow mane back splashing Fluttershy with the soapy water causing her to scream out which alerted Dash to her presence.
“Planning on jumping me in the shower while my guard was down, or did you just feel the need for a good stare, yeah I know I’m sexy with my clothes off, but do us both a favor and knock next time, after all you need to remember I’m not on the same side of the fence as you are Fluttershy.” Snarled Dash without even turning around to look at her. “Now then I need to get to class, lock up before you leave would ya,” She then turned and walked out the door.

Fluttershy sat down in her first class of the day only having been a little late which didn’t seem like much of a big deal as Professor Beauty Brass simply pointed Fluttershy to a empty seat in the classroom and continued as if nothing had happened.
“Now then as I was saying My name is Professor Brass and I am you classical music 101 instructor, the semester we’ll be focusing on some of Maresart more obscure compositions and why they never did as well as his other pieces, now as it’s our first day I would like you all to introduce yourself to the class as I already know most of you, but it never hurts to know who you’ll be studying with.
And so it went on for the first half hour of the class, all the ponies standing and telling the room about themselves though the only ponies that really caught Fluttershy’s attention were a gray coated mare named Octavia and the pony who Dash had been talking about yesterday Pinkie Pie’s Roommate Applejack who was an earth pony with an orange coat.
“So you're the new girl that Pinkie’s been yammerin bout all night long.” Said Applejack approaching Fluttershy after class had ended and both of them were heading to the library for one of their free periods to look up some of the names that Professor Brass had mentioned in class.
“Yes, I’m sorry that she kept you up, I didn’t mean my talking to her to inconvenience anypony,” Replied Fluttershy a little timidly as she wasn’t sure what kind of attitude to expect from Applejack; as far as she knew she was as mean as Rainbow Dash, and she didn’t want to have to deal with being picked on again.
“Ah shoot, don’t worry bout it none, Ah’m used to Pinkie’s constant chatter by now having lived with her for a while now.” Smiled Applejack patting Fluttershy on the back which made her jump a little.” By the way Ah’m hoping Dash wasn’t too rough with ya last night, she’s gotta lot on her mind right now and being how she feels about fillyfoolin and all...” Began Applejack before she noticed the look on Fluttershy face.
“Ah’m missing something here aren’t I, ya’re inta mares aren’t ya?” She asked her southern drawl becoming more noticeable as she stopped focusing on sounding like she didn’t have an accent.
“Not partially, no,” Replied Fluttershy looking down at her book and sighing.
“Ah shoot, Ah’m sorry. I just looked at ya that day and figured the way ya all were walking and stuff... But Ah’m sorry I need to learn to keep my assumptions to mahself; now Dash probably beat up on ya for no reason,” Sighed Applejack patting Fluttershy on the shoulder again
“No, I kinda flew off the handle myself a bit, so whatever I got for whatever I said I must have deserved it.” Said Fluttershy dejectedly causing Applejack to look up again from her book and sigh.
“Nah, I can see the bruises Hun, whatever ya all said wasn’t worth Dash putting her hoof through ya throat, she needs to learn to control that temper of her if she plans on being able to stay here long.
“She’s not from around here?” Asked Fluttershy surprised
“Nah she’s up from the northern parts of Equestria, but she came down here because of certain things that Ah’m gonna let her tell ya bout if she ever wants ta, but she’s been hurt a lot ah can tell ya that and because of it she’s mighty cold with new ponies. Explained Applejack before a Lavender coated Unicorn came over to them a sat down next to Applejack
“A.J what have I told you about talking at a normal tone in the library, your voice carries and I could hear the conversation you were having with this young lady all the way across the room,” Snapped the Unicorn as she turned to Fluttershy which caused her to flinch.
“You don’t need to be afraid Hun, My name’s Twilight Sparkle and I’m the T.A for the librarian here while I’m studying magical arts and literature with Professor/Princess Celestia,” Explained Twilight as she lifted a hoof for Fluttershy to take but she didn’t.
“Sorry bout that Twi, I guess I just always forget,” Sighed Applejack as she stood up and put her books back “But anyway we needed to be gettin going Fluttershy unless you have another free period now.” Smiled Applejack as she helped Fluttershy put her books away and left the library
“So Fluttershy what classes are you taking?” Asked Twilight once Fluttershy had checked her schedule and found that she did indeed have one more free period before she had to go to Animal studies 101 for her next class and she smiled.
“Classical Music 101, Animal studies 101, and theater 101.” She replied and sat back down at the table where Twilight had lead her so that she could continue on the work that she had been interrupted from before.
“Oh so you want to be a?” Asked Twilight leaving the question open as she didn’t quite understand what Fluttershy wanted with such a varying class list.
“My special talent is talking to and taking care of animals, so I’m thinking I want to be a vet someday, but I’m interested in the theater and classical music which is so relaxing that I decide to that all three.” Smiled Fluttershy who was slowly beginning to warm up to Twilight.
“Well I hope it all works out for you,” She Smiled and turned back to her laptop to type.

“Hey I figured we’d see each other again!” Smiled Neon as Professor Star paired the two of them together to practice skits.
“Yes, you’re Neon Shadow if I’m not mistaking.” Smiled Fluttershy remembering the black coated Pegasus from yesterday.
“Yep, boy what happened to you though, did Rainbow Dash rough you up?” Asked Neon scowling, as he wasn’t a fan of the way Rainbow Dash acted towards some people.
“Yes, but it’s alright I kinda egged it on, so anyways what did you want to do together?” Asked Fluttershy looking through the list of plays they were able to choose from
“How about A midsummer night’s dream,” Smiled Neon before he struck a pose and smiled as he said one of the lines Puck uses to describe the Athenians “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” which got a laugh out of Fluttershy.
The class passed swiftly by as Fluttershy and Neon practiced more and more of the scenes from A Midsummer night’s dream and before they knew it Professor Star announced the end of class and the homework that they were assigned which was to study the lines of the play they had chosen and do some research on it’s background and history.

“So did you get too much homework?” Laughed Twilight as she ran into Fluttershy on the way back from her dorm as the path to the Princess Platinum building intercrossed through the path to the Commander Hurricane building.
“Not too much I guess,” Smiled Fluttershy as she walked along side of Twilight.
“Well then if you’re not too busy this evening how about you come to the student union building and you can meet the rest of us girls who make up our group,” Smiled Twilight as she dropped Fluttershy in front of the doors to her building.
“Sure, what time?” Asked Fluttershy lightly
“How about seven, does that work for you Fluttershy?” Asked Twilight beginning to turn around.
“Sure seven it is,” Smiled Fluttershy as she watched Twilight walk away her head now buzzing with excitement and a little bit of fear as she now looked forward to meeting the rest of this strange group of amusing sophomores.
