Emerald shine is trying to adapt to his new school. New friends, enemies and maybe even love interest. Atleast, that's what he thinks...

Green Shires High is just a school, nothing to be afraid of, right?

Well, when you're Emerald Shine, there is a lot to be afraid of. New people, something he is not fond of.
Will he learn to adapt to this new school, or will he be a big flop?

Introductions

Green Shires High

Green Shires, one of the best cities in the state.
My family recently got transferred here, because my mom got a big promotion and as such, we decide to move.
It’s a really nice area, decently big city, with big plains around it. It was a mixture of barns and technology, a perfect place to live in.

My name is Emerald Shine. I am 16 years old. Light green hair, with a horn sticking out the top. I am pretty big, so I usually tower over everyone around. I could even be classified as a giant. So, what is the problem? I am the shyest, most anti-social person ever. In my entire life, I probably have made around four friends. I find it difficult understanding social behavior, and I am extremely worried about how people will react to me. I can be nice, kind, even funny to be around, yet barely anyone knows that part of me. I slouch, mostly to hide myself from other people. I am usually away from everybody, mostly by myself, thinking about everything there is to think about.

About a week after we were transferred here, I started going to Green Shires High. It was nice. Close to my home and, from what I had heard, had a good education system. Today was my first day, I was pretty excited, yet nervous. “What if my class mates don’t like me? What if they bully me or make fun of me? What if-”. I started thinking to myself, before stopping myself. “My class mates are going to be fine, everything is going to be ok” I looked up, being in front of the front doors, breathed deeply and stepped in.

After stepping inside, the first thing that I noticed was the huge sign above the building. It was bright red, with orange letters saying Green Shires High School. It seemed amazing, made even better by the shining of the sun on top of it. From the outside, it seemed a bit cramped, yet from the inside, it was massive. It was two, maybe even three stories high. Blue lockers filled the entire hallway, each decorated their own way. Most likely each student gets complete control over their lockers, even on how to design them. I was early, as always. I like being early, gives me a chance to, I don’t know, connect with the environment around me. No time for that today, though. I needed to find Headmistress Celestia first. I started walking to her office, thinking. “This school is amazing, I am glad tha-”

“Hello There!” -Said a high pitch voiced.

That made me stumble back, as I was lost in thought.
“Oh no, are you alright?” The voice said, nervous, softer this time.
“I-I’m fine. You just caught me off guard. I’m sorry” – I said, getting back up.
“Sorry? For what? I should be the one sorry here.” – The voice said. I looked up. I saw a girl standing there, smiling at me. Her hair was bright pink, almost as if made out of bubble gum. She had bright blue eyes, and a big smile on her face. She was wearing a dark pink dress, with a small, blue leather jacket on top. On the back of her hand, her cutie mark was that of party balloons.
“Oh! How many times have I told you not to scare the new kids?” - Another voice called out. She was running straight towards the pink-haired girl. She had rainbow colored hair and red-purple eyes. She was wearing a bright blue hoodie and jeans, along with 2 bright wings sticking out the back.
“Sorry for my friend here pal, she can be,” - The rainbow-haired girl said, thinking. “A bit much”.
“Oh, come on Rainbow Dash, I was just greeting him!” – Said the pink haired girl.

“You must be new here! Welcome to our school! My name is Pinkamena Daine Pie, but most people just call me Pinkie Pie.” – Pinkie said, joyfully.
“Come on Pinkie, we have to go see the others” – Rainbow Dash said, grabbing Pinkie “See you later, new kid”. Rainbow Dash started running with Pinkie. It was amazing, she was going Incredibly fast, and she wasn’t even flying!
I started walking towards the headmistress’ office, before looking back at the two girls, and I saw Pinkie still waving at me, while Rainbow Dash seemed to be screaming at the air.

I continued walking to the headmistress’ office. Looking around, I saw the lockers. Each one of them was made in their own unique way, none were the same.
Getting close to the office, the first thing I noticed was the amazing door. It looked majestic. The door was a huge one, made out of some sort of white, smooth surface. The edges were covered with a golden surface, reflecting everything around them. In the middle of the door was a big, golden sun. It was mesmerizing to look at, as it looked like it was shining, almost like the actual sun. Above it, in bright green letters it said Celestia.

Taking a deep breath, I knocked, 4 times exact, like I always did.
“Come on in, please” – A voice said. It sounded booming, something to be feared, but at the same time, sounded calming, warm and even tender. I pushed the door, expecting it to be heavy, but it was lighter than a feather.
“Um... H-hello. I’m new, and was told to come here first thing.” – I said.
“Ah yes, I was expecting you, Mr. Shine. Really thought you’d come later, but no matter” – The headmistress said. “First off, I would like to welcome you to the Green Shires High. I hope you will find it as great of a school as myself.” – The headmistress said. “My name is Celestia. Whenever you need help, you can come to me or my sister and co-headmistress, Luna” – Headmistress Celestia said, pointing to a door on her left.
“Now, first thing you need to do is get settled in. Right here, you have your class schedule” – Headmistress Celestia said, digging through her cabinet, before giving me a yellow note like paper. I got it, and studied it thouroughly. My first class as of today was Math. I was kind of relieved, considering my above average mathematical skills.
“Now, if you excuse me, I really need to get back to my works. Besides, first period starts in 5 minutes” – Headmistress Celestia said.

Getting out of her office, still astonished at the mere thought of the door. I started walking to the class room, a bit more rushed this time. Along the way, I looked around a bit. More people were here, the entire school almost filled. I looked down once more and kept on walking, before accidentally bumping into another person.
“Hey, watch where you’re walk, dweeb” – Said a voice. “Do you think you can just do whatever you please just because you’re new?” I looked up and flinched. The person was a giant guy, at least 6”10’. He had a yellow Mohawk type hair cut, and was extremely buff. His hands and feet were huge, and he had the cutie make of a bench press
“N-no. I-I didn’t see you there, I’m so, so sorry for bumping into you” I said, trying to back away.
“Do you think you can just push Bulk Biceps and get away with it?” – Bulk said “Well, than you most not be very bright”
He grabbed me, and gave me a punch in my gut. It knocked me to the floor. I felt my guts moving around, almost as if the punch had moved them out of their original place.
“You got lucky, punk” – Bulk said “I can’t do anything to you, not here at least. Next time, I won’t hold back!” - Bulk than starting walking away straightly after saying that, and I swear I could hear his foot pound on the floor as he walked away.
I started getting up with trouble, barely being able to stand after that bull-like punch. Half-way through, I felt someone helping me get up. Looking up at him, he smiled and said
“Hey, are you alright? That looked like it hurt” – The guy said, speaking with what seemed to be a french accent. He seemed kind, with dark blue hair, and big, bulky glasses. On the back of his hand, I noticed his cutie mark was a big oil pen. After a while, I noticed his eyes were the color of emeralds.
“Oh, um Y-yes, I’m f-fine.”
“Well, that’s good. My name is Oil Quill! Nice to meet you. What’s yours?”
“Oh, M-my name’s Emerald Shine. N-nice to meet you too” I said, staring at the ground.
“Emerald Shine? That seems like a girl name don’t you think?” – Oil said. Just as he said that, the bell rang, and everyone was going to their classrooms, giving me no chance to answer back.
“Well, I got to go, but it was nice meeting you. Hopefully we will see each other again some time” – Oil said, before running towards his class.
“Y-yeah, it was nice. Thanks for your help!” I said back, however I don’t think he caught that last part.
I started walking to room B-3. I could still see some people out. “Maybe they’re cutting class” I thought to myself.
Not too long after, I ended up seeing a big B-3. Right besides it, was a metal door.I opened it and went inside. The class rooms were a bit too big, considering only around half of the seats were taken.
“Ah, you must be Emerald Shine. I heard from headmistress Celestia this was your first class. Please, take a seat wherever you please. Don’t rush, I give my students 5 minutes before starting each class, gives them a chance to find the classroom” – The Professor said. He was a bit odd, around medium size, crazy, short, brown hair and wearing a bit brown coat over a blue suit.
I searched for a seat, and decided on one around the middle. Not too far away from the Professor, but not too close. Besides, it seem nobody was seated here. Luckily for me, I work better alone, as I don’t overhear people talking over the Professor or my thoughts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“First class wasn’t so bad. Relatively easy things.” I thought to myself after the bell rang. Something new in this school was that students were in groups, around 40 students a group, which had the same exact classes. Where I was from, everyone could pick at what time to have their class, but here they were chosen on amount of groups. The thing I noticed the most out of my group, 3-F, was the huge Male-To-Female ratio. There seemed to be around 10 guys, while most other students were female. Not complaining, of course.

While walking to the next class, I noticed two human-like shapes in the distance. On seemed like a walking wall, towering over the other, which appeared to be female. Not too long after I saw them, I was standing face-to-face with them.
“It was him, Headmistress’ Celestia, he was the one who started the fight” – A voice said. Wait, I knew that voice!
Looking up, I saw what I dreaded most. It was Bulk, pointing at me, with Headmistress Celestia looking down at me, and instead of here comforting smile, she had a stern look on her face.
“Mr.Shine, I have to let you know that here at Green Shires High, we have a zero tolerance on fighting.” – Celestia Said.
“Oh no, this can’t be good!” – I thought to myself, almost shivering of fright.

New Friends

“Mr. Shine, is it true that you and Mr. Biceps had fight before first period?” – Headmistress Celestia asked, with an angry, disappointed face.
“W-Well, not exactly...” – I said, looking scared.
“What do you mean not exactly?” – Headmistress Celestia said, leaning forwards.
“Actually, what happened was that-“ I started saying, before being stopped by the bell.
“Mr. Shine, Mr Biceps, follow me” – Headmistress Celestia started walking towards her office.
“B-But, second period just started...” – I asked, looking for a way out of this.
“Don’t worry, I’ll have a talk with your teachers, let them know why you were late.”

A couple of minutes of walking later, we finally reached the office.
“Take a seat boys” – Headmistress Celestia said, sitting down on her own chair. I hadn’t noticed it last time I was here.It was a royal chair, made with what seemed to be a gold outline, and the cushions were a bright red color. It looked like something fit for a queen.
“Headmistress Celestia, I can explain this” – Bulk said, in an almost worried voice “What happened was that Emerald here was walking down, and I guess he didn’t see me and he bumped into me. I kind of lost my tempered and punched him. It was all my fault, I am truly sorry for what I did.”
“This surprised me. Had he actually taken the blame for everything that had happened? I just thought he was a mean bully, but maybe I was wrong about him.” I though, before being stopped by Celestia.
“Is this true, Mr. Shine?” – Headmistress Celestia asked, looking a bit surprised herself.
I just nodded my head, still flabbergasted at what had happened.
“Well, since this is the first time this had happened, and it wasn’t something serious, plus the fact that Bulk, you are taking responsibilities for your actions now. I will let both of you off the hook. But let’s not have this happen again, agreed?”
Bulk and I both nodded our heads, and Celestia gave the two of us a note, with what seemed to be a permission slip, and sent us off to our classrooms.
Still surprised, I headed towards my classroom, which was a bit away from Celestia’s office. I kept thinking about Bulk, and why he had been so nice there. He certainly didn’t seem it when he punched me. And what did Celestia mean by “Bulk taking responsibilities for his actions”? Had he been there before? Was there a more to Celestia’s and Bulk’s relationship than it seemed?" I shook my head. “It’s not my concern...”

Heading for the classroom,I start thinking about the class.
“Magic class, huh? It’s alright. I’ve always liked magic class, though I wasn’t very good at it. I wasn’t bad at it, I just learned a little slower than most students. It was a simple class. Unicorns learn to manipulate lesser magic spells, like levitation, simple transformation enchantments, that sort of stuff. Well, that was where we were at my old school. Pegasus learned to manipulate the air around them with their wings, allowing them to fly. Earth people manipulated their internal bodies, allowing them to gain strength, become faster, even heal from injuries."
After a short while of walking, I find the classrooms. Looking down at my clock, I see I’ve only missed around seven minutes of class.
“H-hello? May I come in?” – I ask, all eyes on me, making me quiver.
“Hm? Isn’t it a bit late to enter class, Mr...? – The teacher said. I looked at her. She seemed to be a dog-humanoid teacher, wearing a red shirt, with a brown, leather jacket over it. She was also wearing white gloves, with what seemed to be magic circles around them. She had black leather pants, with big brown boots on. Her hair was chocolate brown coming down to her shoulders.
“Well? Are you going to tell me your name or stand there all day?”? – She said, knocking me out of my trance.
“Uh, Emerald miss. Headmistress Celestia gave me this to give to you” – I said, reaching down to my pocket, grabbing the note she had gave me, and giving it to the teacher.
She studied it closely, and than looked back at me.
“Well, this is definitely one of Celestia’s note. I’m Ms. Equilibrium. Emerald, please take a seat.” – She said, before turning back to the front of the class.
I took a seat near the front of the class, where it seemed all the unicorns were at. The three class of people where here, albeit divided. Unicorns were in the middle, earth people in the left and pegasus at the right.
Ms. Equilibrium took attendance, and when she was done she spoke up.
“Now, everyone, today we will going out side. I want everyone to pick a partner, who will be helping you with your magic. You know the drill, unicorns with unicorns, pegasus with pegasus and earthies with earthies” – She said. “I will give you three minutes to partner up” – As she said that, she started getting up, going around her desk getting what seemed to be some new gloves.
“Oh no, picking a partner. I haven’t actually met anyone! Maybe they all already have partners picked out? What if I don’t get picked?”
Whilst I was thinking, I felt someone tap my shoulder, and I turned around.
Who had tapped me was a girl unicorn. She had purple hair, some light and some dark. She was wearing some big, bulky glasses, which covered her eyes, which after seeing for a while I saw they were a light purple. She was wearing a black uniform-type suit, with a red bow-tie. She was wearing small, white shoes with white socks, up to below her knees. She seemed like one of the girl nerds you see in movies, but I found her really pretty.
“U-Um... excuse I was wondering that maybe we could partner up? I mean, everyone else has a partner.” – She said, a bit nervous at first, before talking with more confidence.
“O-Okay, I’d love to.” – I said, a bit shyly.
“Great! My names Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you!” – She said, reaching out her hand. “What’s your name?
“My name’s Emerald Shine. Nice to meet you too.” – I said, reaching my hand out, shaking hers.
“Well, we got to get outside now, so come on then!” – As she said that, she started heading towards the door, following the group, me close behind her.

“Very well students, does everyone have a partner?” – Ms. Equilibrium said, looking around. “it seems everyone does. Now today’s lesson will be different for each type of people here. Unicorns go over there” – She pointed to a plain filled with random objects.
“Pegasus go to that place.” – She pointed to a forest part area.
“Everyone else, over here” – She started walking towards a big place filled with rocks and boulders.
While everyone was going to their part of the field, I noticed that there seemed to be two clones of Ms. Equilibrium, each in one side. They all looked the same, except the other two had a horn or wings.
“Um, Twilight?” – I asked, tapping her back, walking.
“Yes Emerald? What is it?” – She said in a cheery voice.
“Am I seeing triple or does Ms. Equilibrium have clones?” – I ask, nervously.
“Oh, no Emerald, The Equilibrium’s are triplets. One of each kind. A unicorn, a pegasus, and an earthy. Each train their own type of magic. Right now, we are going with Emily Equilibrium, the unicorn magic teacher.” – Twilight said, happily.
“Alright, students, stop with the small talk. It’s time to start the lesson. Today’s lesson will be transfiguration.” – As Ms. Equilibrium said that, she lifted up a dirty old boot, and with her horn lighting up a bright yellow, she transformed the boot into a golden chalice.
“Now, I want everyone and their partner to try and transform an object. The better the change, the more points you will have this class. Now, everyone, start!” – She said, clapping her hands, green sparks flying out of them.
Everyone seemed in no hurry to start. Some were still talking to each other, and those who were getting an item, were taking time, chatting along.
Twilight and I got the first items we found. She got a rusted can, while I got what seemed to be a broken metal sword handle.
“Well, not the best items for transfiguration, but we can make it work” – Twilight said, looking at the things we had.

I’ve never been good at transforming objects. I always found the idea of changing the properties of an item to another was confusing, and I never got the hang of it. I could do small things, but that was about it.
“Um, Twilight? I need to tell you something. I really am not good at altering objects, I’m not sure if I can do it.” – I said, looking at her, shyly.
“Oh? Really? I always thought it was one of the easier types of magic to do. Here, I’ll help you.” – Twilight said, coming near me.
“Now, all you have to do is use your magic to search for the magic inside of the thing you’re trying to transform, and then you use your magic to change it into something of your liking. Like this” – Twilight said. As she said that, her horn started lighting up a purple glow. She seemed to be very into whatever she was doing. A couple of seconds later, the object started glowing as well, and then starting moving around. The light got even brighter, and then the can was no more. What was in it’s place was now a big, red apple.
“W-Wow! That was amazing, I didn’t even know you could turn normal items into edible food.” – I said, in awe.
“Oh, it was nothing really” – Twilight said, blushing a bit. “Now, you try it!”
“Alright, this isn’t hard. You’ve studied about this, and you just got a first hand demonstration, shouldn’t be a problem” I thought, before closing my eyes.
I picture the handle in my mind, and reached out to it with my magic. My horn glowed, a light white light shining. Inside my mind, I saw the handle, and my magic going inside it, searching.
“Twilight? What exactly am I searching for? What is the magic of an object?” – I asked, still concentrating.
“Concentrate Emerald! Everything has a magic force, and when you find it, you feel as if... Well I don’t know how to explain it, it’s just a feeling, like as if you were connected to the item. You will know when you find” – Twilight said, encouraging me
Inside my mind, I still continued to search for it, the magic in the handle... Suddenly, I felt something. It was a warm sensation, comforting even, seeming to emerge from my horn. I had found the magic of the object. Only needed to transform it into something else.
“Emerald, you’re doing it! Don’t give up now” – Twilight said, excitedly.
I felt the sensation continue to grow, connecting more with it, until suddenly I felt it all go away, and I felt myself lose touch with the handle.
Snapping back to reality, I opened my eyes, and looked at the handle. It looked deformed, as if I was succeeding in transforming it, yet lost the ability to do so half-way through.
“W-Whoa, I really blew it, didn’t I?” – I asked, scratching my head.
“Not at all! You were doing fine, really! But suddenly, you stopped. What happened?” – Twilight said, looking at the now deformed handle.
“Well, I was doing fine. I had connected with the other magic, and was transforming it. I felt the magic inside of me, warm and tender. However, it suddenly stopped, and it became cold and sinister, almost if something else was impeding me.” – I said, trying to explain it the best I could.
“Really? I’ve never heard of that. Could just be transfiguration magic just isn’t your type.” – Twilight said, grabbing my item. “What were you trying to transform it to, anyways?” – Twilight said, handing it to me.
“I was trying to make it into a small, metal bird. It’s the first thing that popped into my mind” – I said, looking at the handle. One part of it seemed to be more silver than everything else. The silver part seemed to be sticking out, almost like a feather. I must have been close to transforming it.
“Well, what do we have here?” – A voice said, grabbing my item. I looked at where the voice was coming from. It was Ms. Equilibrium, well, the unicorn one. She seemed to be studying the item.
“Well, this isn’t very impressive, you didn’t change it all. But, you did do at least half, so I guess I’ll give you credit for what you did. But, I want you to start working on your transformation magic.” – She said. As she said that, her horn lit up, and with magic she lifted up a pen and paper, with everyone’s name on it. She wrote something near mine, and turned to Twilight.
“Well, Twilight, I want you to show me what you did” – Ms. Equilibrium said, a bit excited.
“Alright!” – Twilight said, and picked up an item near us. It was a small, rusted fork. Her horn lit up purple, followed by the fork, which then changed into a flower, which seemed to be a Tulip.
“Amazing as always Twilight! Maybe you can help Emerald here, he needs the help” – Ms. Equilibrium said, laughing a bit at her own joke. “Top of the class as usual Twi, Keep it up” She started walking away, checking the other students.
“Oh don’t worry Emerald, I think you did fine today” – Twilight said, comforting me.

After we were all back inside and graded, the bell rung. After looking at my schedule, I saw that we had a 30 minute break. Getting my stuff packed into my backpack, I start going outside, waiting for everyone else. I always seemed to do this. I always waited for everyone to get out of the door, even though I as usually the first one to get to it. I guess I just didn’t want to bother anyone on the way out, and such I waited to be the last one to leave.

Getting outside, I saw groups everywhere, as most people seemed to meet with their friends only, but most were inside. I went straight to the garden, which was near the room I had just got out. What I noticed instantly after walking in was how amazing it was. There were big oaks everywhere, Flourishing with life. Everywhere, there were flowers, thriving all around the place. It all was so green, almost like an actual forest, it was astounding to look at. After walking a bit inside the garden, I sat down near a big tree and got out a book to read, Pendragon, The Reality Bug. One of the things I loved most was reading, diving into the book and going on an adventure. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world, and doing it besides such a breathtaking view of this garden was even better.
After a few minutes of reading, I saw something from the corner of my eyes. I put down the book, and looked around. There seemed to be nothing, so I went back to my book.
I heard a sound, and looked up.
“H-Hello? I-Is there anyone there?” – I called out, searching. I heard what seemed to be a small gasp.
“Hello? I mean no harm...” – I said again, now standing up and moving.
I guess I had done something wrong, because next thing that happened left me down on the grass. Dazed, I looked up, and saw a pinked-haired figure. After focusing my eyes, I saw it was a girl, wearing a yellow sweater with a big, bright pink butterfly on it. She had on a bright blue skirt, with socks up to her knees and bright, green shoes. She was a Pegasus, with two small wings sprouting out of her back. She had riviting blue eyes, almost mesmerizing to look at. What struck me the most was her hair, it was all the way down to her back, a bright pink color.
“O-Oh! I’m so, so sorry. It’s just, you almost stepped on my rabbit...” – She said, each wording getting softer.
“Huh?” – I asked, snapping back to reality. I looked down, and near my feet was a white, fluffy bunny. “Oh, I’m sorry, I guess I should’ve looked where I was going.”
“I think I shouldn’t have knocked you down either” – She said, blushing.
“No, it’s alright. I wouldn’t want another creature getting hurt because of my ignorance” – I said, getting up.
“FLUTTERSHY!” – I heard a voice call out. As soon as the girl heard it, she started walking away.
“S-Sorry! I have to leave, my friends are looking for me” – As soon as she said that, she started flying away.
“Fluttershy? What a nice name, to a nice girl. Now, back to my book-“ I thought, looking around. “Wait, where’s my book? I swore I just saw it here not a minute ago”
Still searching, I caught eye of Fluttershy’s rabbit, and saw it was carrying my book. It looked back, saw me and stuck out it’s tongue, before hopping back to Fluttershy.
“W-Wait! Please come back!” – I called out, running towards her...

Meeting The Group

Meeting The Group

Racing another person was no problem, but I’d never raced against a Pegasus before. They were insanely fast. I could barely keep Fluttershy in my sight whilst I ran. It was an exhausting experience.
“F-Fluttershy!” – I kept on calling out for her, in between breaths, but it seemed as if she couldn't hear me.

Eventually, I saw her stop near some other girls, some which I already knew. I made out Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight with Fluttershy, but there were still two other girls with them I didn't know about, and a small, teenage boy.
One of the girls was what seemed to be a farm girl, and from what I could make out, she was wearing some blue jeans, and as a top she had an orange striped shirt. She had medium-sized blond hair put into a pony-tail. She seemed to have big, green eyes.
The other girl seemed to be the complete opposite in terms of social status. She had on a bright, white shirt with a big jewel, and was wearing a small, black skirt with a purple belt on it. Her hair was that of purple, the ends of it in curls. She had sea blue eyes.
The boy, (er, teen?) had small, green hair shaped in spikes, and was wearing a black hoodie on top of a white shirt, and had black pants on. He seemed to be looking at the girl with purple hair with great admiration.

As soon as they saw me running towards them, they all started looking at me.
“Oh, look, it’s the new kid! Uh, what was his name again?” – Pinkie said
“It’s Emerald” – Twilight said, looking at her before turning to me. “Hey Emerald, what’s the hurry?” – She asked, going up to me.
Panting, I started to speak, “Huh...Rabbit...Book...” Was all I could make out, in between big breathes.
“Eh? What do you mean by that?” – Twi said, a bit confused.
“Oh, I think I know why...” – Fluttershy spoke up, blushing. “Now, give it to me Angel” – She said softly to her rabbit. Angel hesitated at first, but decided to give it up after Fluttershy stared him down.
“H-Here, sorry for any trouble Angel could’ve given you.” – Fluttershy said, blushing so hard her face turned pure red.
“N-No, it was no problem at all.” – I started saying, after I got my breath back.
“Darlings, no mean to intrude, but who exactly is he?” – The girl with the white shirt said, looking at me. She had an extremely English accent, almost as if it was fake.
Closer up to her, I saw that she had tons of necklaces, rings and bracelets, all engraved with gems.
“Oh, um... Hi? Uh my name’s E-Emerald Shine. I kind of met Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy already. So, n-nice to meet” – I said, reaching out with one hand.
“Charmed” – She said, shaking my arm. “My name’s Rarity. And this is Apple Jack.” – Rarity pointed to the other girl, which started waving at me.
“Hiya! Yeah, my names Apple Jack, very nice to meet you!” – The girl said. She had a southern accent, and smelled a lot like apples.
“Wow, she seems so familiar- Wait, I know who she reminds me of...” – I thought to myself, chuckling.
“What’s so funny?” – Apple Jack said, and I felt a hint of confusion and anger in her voice.
“Huh? O-Oh, nothing. It’s just you remind me of a friend I had where I used to live, and I was just remembering her.” – I said looking straight up at her.
“Oh? Is that so?” – She said, now with a more relieved face.
“Y-Yeah... we did some crazy stuff...” – I said, each wording becoming more and more softer.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” – Apple Jack said, looking at me and then at her friends.
“N-No, of course you didn’t, I guess I just miss her is all.” – I said, reassuringly.
“Well, why it has been fun meeting you and all, we really must get going” – Rarity said, breaking me from my trance.
“Oh yeah! It’s going to be so much fun!” – Pinkie suddenly spoke up, and began running around us.
“O-Oh, you’re going somewhere? Oh, I hope I didn’t interrupt you. I guess I’ll be going.” – I said, beginning to walk towards the garden again.
“Oh, don’t be like that darling, join us!” – Rarity said, a bit embarrassed.
“M-Me? You want me to hang out with you?” – I asked surprised.
“Yeah! Come on, it’ll be fun.” – Rainbow Dash said
“U-Um, alright.” – I said, my head looking down. “W-Where are you going?”
“A new restaurant. It just opened in the school grounds. They say it has the best food for miles!” – Twilight said, excited.
“Come one then girls! Let’s go. That means you too Emerald.” – Apple Jack said, turning to as soon as I was slowly backing away.
“A-Alright” – I said, catching up to them.
“Oh! This will be too much fun! We should get soup! No, lobster! No, clams! I know! Candy, lots of it!” – Pinkie started rambling about, before Twilight cut her off.
“Well, this place is famous for it’s burgers. Maybe we should all get one? They’re not to big.” – Twilight suggested, the last part looking at Rarity.
“Alright, but i’m going to need to see them first. I don’t want any greasy thing going into my mouth” – Rarity said, with a joking manner.
While they were talking, I was a bit behind, thinking to myself. “My first actual social event with more than one person. It was in a restaurant, so there will be bound to be more people. Money wasn’t a problem, I rarely use more than 30% of the money I get, the rest I save up, so no problem there. What if I make a fool out of myself? I’d instantly become a laughing stock. Maybe I should just-“ – I thought, before getting interrupted.
“What about you Emerald?” – I heard Twilight said.
“Uh, excuse me?” – I said, dumbfounded.
“We asked you what you’re going to eat. We all agreed on burgers already. How about you?” – Twilight said.
“Uh, I’ll have a burger as well.” – I said, still getting back from my thoughts.
“It’ll be like a burger party! Are those a thing?” – Pinkie exclaimed, getting excited after she said the word “party”
“Uh, I don’t think so” – Fluttershy said, who was right besides her.
“Aw. Well, we can make it a thing!” – Pinkie said, sad at first before becoming peppy again.
Before anyone could say anything, Rarity started speaking, vividly and excited.
“Girls! We’re here, the newest restaurant!” – She said, each word becoming more and more higher-pitched.
“Canterlot!”
