The Seventh Element

"Dusk?" Thunderbot asks, trying to get her sister's attention

"No," Dusk replies clearly annoyed by him. She had an argument with her mother this morning and is extremely cranky.

"But-"

"NO!"

"Please-"

"WHAT PART OF NO, DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!" Dusk screams in his face. "You can clearly see that I'm annoyed today do you have to push it even further and get even more on my nerves?"

"..."

"Good, now stay quiet, until we get to school," Dusk huffs.

For the rest of the way, Dawn and Thunderbot stay in silence because they know exactly how Dusk reacts when they annoy her when she is in a cranky mood. When they arrive at school, they split up and go their own way as they usually do.

Dusk trots in through the gates and walks over to her classroom. She hopes that she isn't late. She is in Year 7 so she knows that she is expecting a lot of homework, especially from her maths teacher, Ms Violari. She goes to her classroom door and gets ready for home group. Dusk grabs her books and heads over to her desk. She sits down and her teacher starts calling the roll.

She hears her name get called out, "Dusk?"

"Here," Dusk says monotonouly.

The teacher doesn't care. She just keeps going on with the roll. When the bell rings for her class, Dusk grabs her books and meets her friends at the front of her classroom.

"Hi girls," Dusk says, finally forgetting about the argument she had with her mother.

"Hi Dusk," the girls chant back.

Dusk has three besties. There is Goldie Pie, an orange unicorn with golden and purple hair. She is very melodramatic and loves dancing. Next to Dusk stood her friend Violet Swirl, a white pegasus with violet swirls as hoof markings, and she has purple and black hair. She is extremely shy and enjoys drawing. Lastly, there is her crazy and psychotic friend Shadow Shade. She is a gray coloured earth pony, with black and white hair and red eyes.

As they walked to their art class, they were talking about funny things that happened over the weekends.Then they started talking about a topic, that Dusk was 100% interested in.

"Did you know that there is a school production this year?" Goldie asks with a smile.

"WHAT?! THERES A SCHOOL PRODUCTION THIS YEAR?!" Dusk sqeals in delight, not caring that everypony was looking at her.

"Yes, Dusk there is, next time can you at least WARN ME, WHEN YOUR GOING TO BLOW MY EARDRUMS UP?!" Goldie glares at Dusk, covering her ears.

Embarrassed, Dusk rubs the back of her head with her hoof, "Oh um, sorry about that. Now what was that about a school production, I'm extremely interested."

"As I was saying before you interrupted me with a squealng fit, there is a school production this year. During recess I will show you the poster." Goldie answers annoyed.

"Well I seriously can't wait for the auditions!" Dusk exclaims, flying around her friends with glee.

"I don't care for school productions," Shadow grunts, "What's the point of them anyway, they're so stupid."

Goldie and Dusk gasp "PRODUCTIONS ARE NOT STUPID!"

"They are to me," Shadow growls.

"Um, I'm sorry girls, but I'm not exactly interested in this production. There are too many ponies watching my every move," Violet Swirl mumbles.

"Fair enough," Dusk nods.

The four mares continued to walk to their art class. When they got there they lined up and waited for their teacher to arrive. When he finally did he unlocked the classroom door and everypony bounded in. They sat at their usual spots and waited for further instructions.

"Alright class, today we will be working with clay. You must all make sure that you listen closely to my instuctions before anypony moves," Dusk's art teacher Mr Paint Splash says. He continues explaining what everypony must do, before they grab a piece of clay. Dusk ears perk up the second she hears the word clay and all attention was to him. Once he finishes his instructions, everypony gallop over and grab whatever they needed as quickly as they could so they could get the biggest peice of clay. When they all sat back down they continued.

"So what are you guys making?" Violet Swirl asks her friends. "I'm making a sculpture of my mum, Fluttershy,"

"I'm making a sculpture of a microphone," Dusk smiles.

"I'm making a sculpture of a cupcake, the best treat anypony can ever eat," Goldie says as she licks her lips and drools.

"I'm making a knife," Shadow says not bothering to look at them. The girls look at her like she was a burglar breaking into their house. They all had to admit they where a little frightened by Shadow every so often. But they decided to take her in because she didn't have any friends.

Dusk giggles in her friends' ears, "Looks like it's that time of the month again."

Shadow glares at them at first, then she laughs. "Yep, mood swings," Dusk laughs. Then she continues on with her clay.

Dusk has a specialty that almost nopony else has. She can do anything with her wings whether it be shaping them into different forms for shadow puppets. Or using actual tools for work, for example she was making her clay today with her wings. Heck she even held her microphone with her wings. Everypony wonders how on earth she is able to do so much with feather. Even Twilight, her mother doesn't understand it, and she once had her hooked up to scientific equipment it figure it out. Well Twilight figured out that there was... nothing different about Dusk's wings. So she had given up.

Once she and her friends finish making their clay sculptures, they were told to put it in the back room so that they could harden in kiln, and then sit back down and do something quietly.

The bell rings and everypony runs as quickly as they can to their lockers. Usually it's so they could annoy the ponies waiting behind them, but the girls run quickly to their lockers to see the posters that the students had put up around the school about the production. They finish putting their stuff away and gallop to the closest poster.

"Look over there, there's one," Goldie gestures towards the direction of the poster. They quickly trot over to it and start to read.

"Ponyville High School presents, Little Shop Of Horrors.  Roles will be needed for Mr Mushnick the owner of 'Mushnick's Flower Shop',  Seymour the nerdy adopted son of Mr Mushnick, Audrey the woman that Seymour loves, Orin an evil dentist with bad habits of hurting people, also the boyfriend of Audrey, Audrey 2, the man eating plant that takes over the world, a few other background characters, and background singers. Auditions are open from the 12th April to the 15th April. ALL ARE WELCOME," Dusk and Goldie scream with delight.

"I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!" Dusk screams.

"ME TOO!" Goldie bounces around.

"Meh," Shadow shrugs.

"I don't really want to sorry," Violet whispers.

Dusk pats her back "That's okay I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do."

Violet smiles. "Thank you Dusk."

The four mares continue with the rest of their classes until the end of the day came. Usually Violet goes home by herself, Shadow meets her mum at the front of the school and Dusk, Dawn, Goldie and Thunderbot walk home from school.

"Ugh Dawn, can you please teleport us home it's too hot," Dusk complains.

"As I've told you many times Dusk, I don't know how to teleport. Mum hasn't taught me that yet. Why don't you just fly home?"

"Because mum says that we have to walk home together, plus you guys can't fly so how is that gonna work?" Dusk asks gesturing from her sister to Goldie.

"Okay I get it, calm your farm," Goldie says as she rolls her eyes. They got to Goldie's house and she bid them goodbye.

Dusk, Dawn and Thunderbot walked the rest of the way home. When they got there, their mum greeted them, and they all sat down to have dinner. For dinner they are eating Hay Fries and Salad.

They have dinner early on Mondays because Dusk has singing and Dawn has dancing.

"Wow Twily these are the best hay fries I've ever tasted, awesome job," Flash compliments his wife.

"Thanks Flash, I'm glad you like it," Twilight says as she kisses him.

"EWWWWWW MUM, DAD DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT AT THE TABLE?!" Thunderbot gags in disgust.

"Calm down mate, it ain't gonna kill you to watch it, you will kiss your wife someday too," Dusk smirks.
