"Wow, I still have so many questions, for both of you." Jeremy said to Rainbow Dash and me.

Class was about to begin soon. When the three of us entered the room we sat at a table that we normal do experiments and tests on. We were now sitting on the edge of the last row of desks in the room. There are four rows of three and each desk had one by it's side. I passed my normal seat in the middle of the third row and occupied two desks behind Jeremy's seat that was in the back of the last row, I knew that no one sat in those two.

Jeremy was now turned around, straddling the back of his chair, to face us. "First of many, why did you come with Jack to school? I mean, school isn't exactly fun." He half-whispered to Dash. He didn't look at her because of the other people shuffling into the classroom.

"Well, I wanted to hang-out with Jack some more." Dash admitted, a faint blush appeared on her light blue face. It quickly dissipated. And that I don't know how to use anything in his house yet, so eight hours of pulling sweet pranks on people sounds better then doing nothing."

"Ah, I see, your already good friends with little Jackie here." Jeremy shot me A obviously envious look. I shot him back a smug grin. "Second question, Where exactly are you staying? I remember that Jack found you on Friday. Are you staying in a motel or somthin'?"

I could see in the corner of my eye that some people have taken notice to Rainbow Dash beside me. They looked up, paused and slowly took their seats without breaking their stare. "Why the hell would we buy her a motel room? That would just be stupid. She's been at our house the whole weekend." I shook my head to the dumb question.

"Yea, and they only have three bedrooms so..." Dash remembered waking up next to me and had gotten slightly embarrassed and looked away even though Jeremy still wouldn't look at her.

Jeremy then connected the dots. "Your sharing a room with Rainbow Dash?!" He just gazed at me that said 'You lucky bastard'. He sighed and continued. "Well, what do you plan on doing next weekend though? You think they will let her passed the counter at Micky Dee's?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"Well, maybe by then she'll be back to Equestria by then. If not, then hopefully she'll figure out how to work the T.V." I stole a quick glance to Dash. She giggling while watching the reactions of all the kids coming through the door. One guy was so shocked that he tripped and split his drink on himself.

Jeremy saw the guy spill his beverage. "Dan is such a klutz..." He shook his head in disappointment towards his acquaintance. "That's another thing, so you have no idea why or how your here? Any idea about getting back?"

"Nope, you know as much as us. That book might have something though." Dash rubbed her chin in thinking of the possible things in that book."

"The show said that it had potions and crap like that, so i doubt it. Still though, we could get some insane stuff out of it!" I said in a hushed voice to both of them. I tilted my head to see the others, some were still standing. But most were just staring from their seats. The teacher had also walked into the room by now and was standing behind her desk.

"They had some awesome stuff back then! This apparently was the first book of potions." Dash emphasized.

"Dude, did you read My Little Dashie?" Jeremy switched the topic, A wide smile was on his face in hopes that I did.

"Hell yea I did!" We both brought our hands up for a high-five. The crash of our hands broke the silence of the other side of the room. "I had no idea that you were a fan of the show!"

"You kiddin'? I'm on the week to week, son!" He whispered. "But oh, my god, that was one of the best things i have ever read!"

"What's My Little Dashie? Is it something about me?" Dash gave us stern looks, which we couldn't respond to.

"Yea, it's really, really sad story about you. I'm not ashamed at all to admit that my eyes started tearing up." I said to Dash, I pretended to look out the window so i could see her. "You really have no idea how popular that show is."

"So, everypony already knows just how awesome I am?" She looked over my shoulder to the others. "I get it now, why every one is so freaked out. They are amazed by my coolness!" She gained a  cocky smirk. I just rolled my eyes.

"Or it could be the fact that your a talking cartoon horse." Jeremy popped her bubble. "That's the Rainbow Dash I know! And my favorite pony is Apple Jack by the way."

"I'm a pony, not a hor-" Her correction was interrupted.

Brady, A guy in our class, came to his senses and saw that everyone was staring at the pony. "OK, so i'm going to go out on a limb and say that I'm not the only one seeing the cartoon horse over there?" He pointed to Dash. He was standing by the door.

"Four Twenty day was Friday, Brady!" I shouted to him across the room. Few people stifled a nervous chuckle.

"Seriously, what the hell is that thing?" Dash was in my peripheral vision, she looked pissed, I don't think that anyone has ever said something like that to her.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jeremy remarked. The two of us were trying to hold back the laughter. Rainbow Dash on the other hand was still angry.

"Jack, Jeremy, tell us what it is and why its here." My teacher said coldly.

Jeremy and I exchanged looks. We silently devised what we were going to do next, we shared a subtle nod.

"Well?" My teacher demanded.

I looked around the room behind me, acting like I had no idea what they were talking about before faking a realization. "OH! Your talking about her?"

A few more people chuckled. "Why is it here?!" Brady was obviously getting frustrated. Rainbow Dash was about to break. She hated that they were referring to her as it.

"Stop calling her it! Jack will beat your ass for insulting his sister!" Jeremy was a great actor. Dash was not aware of our plan though, her brows raised.

"Yea, douche! We adopted her from Canada. She was finally able to come live with us over the weekend!" I tried my hardest to fake rage.

"Stop bullshitting us, explain. Please." Sarah pleaded. Jeremy and I looked to each other and then to Dash. She just shrugged. We rolled our eyes and sighed.

"Fine." I nudged Dash with my elbow, telling her to introduce herself.

She scanned the room full of faces. She initially thought up an awesome speech to display her coolness but when she stood up she could only stammer out a feeble: "Hey." She put up a hoof shyly trying to greet them all simultaneously. After she spoke, two of the closest people fell out of their chairs in shock, the rest just gasped.

"That's starting to get old. And You never acted this shy in the show... Why aren't you stoked about this?" Jeremy mumbled to Dash.

"Because I never had a room full alien things just staring at me!" She returned in a loud whisper.

"Fine then, I'll do it." I stood up next to Rainbow Dash. "Hey, people! If you haven't noticed her yet, this is Rainbow Dash. She pisses rainbows." More people including Jeremy giggled.

"Why?" Dash asked getting red in the face.

"For funsies!" I replied with a grin.

Dash though for a few seconds before she came up with a comeback. "And i'm sure you all know Jack here, who watches My Little Pony all the time!" Half the class laughed at the announcement.

"Yea, your going to have to try harder then that. Because by your existence right now, it means that it's not a T.V. show, it's a window into another universe." I retorted.

"For girls!" Brady shouted. Most of the class was now laughing, broken out of their shock. "One more thing, why does she have rainbow hair? Is she a lesbo or somthin'?"

I peeked back to dash. "Told you that would come up." I was about to respond when I was stopped.

"Quite! All of you, in your seats!" My teacher scolded. Everyone in the class quickly took their seats and regained their composer for the most part. "Jack, why did you bring a horse to school?" She narrowed her eyes.

"Well, She's a pony, not a horse. Plus, she is new to this world so I can't exactly leave her at home for that long of a time. And she wanted to come..." I exclaimed. "I bet shes smarter then a lot of these people for sure anyway." I gestured to the rest of the class.

"Bringing it here was a stupid idea!" Bethany pointed out.

"Aww, is someone jealous that shes not the prettiest anymore?" I suggested. Dash smiled and blushed.

"Are you really saying a horse is hotter then me?" Bethany shrieked.

"Indubitably." I proclaimed. "I mean look at her, shes cuter then a puppy and a kitten trying to fit inside the same slipper! Let's take a vote. Who agrees with me?"

Jeremy raised his hand slowly, putting on a grin. A few more students put their hands up as well. After about thirty seconds, more then half the class had their hands raised. "The people have spoken!" I shouted over exaggerated. Bethany crossed her arms and pouted. I glanced back at Rainbow Dash, who was displaying her regained confidence with a smile. She looked to me, I saw that she was a little embarrassed, but having fun. I put out my fist towards Dash, she matched it with her hoof.

Jeremy witnessed the brohoof. "You son of a bitch..." He muttered.

My teacher sighed. "If you don't have anymore disturbances. I don't care if she stays while we continue our lesson on page two-hundred-twelve!" She announced to the class, everyone moaned and yanked textbooks out from under their desks.

I slowly flipped open the book and gave Rainbow Dash a bored expression and sighed. "Back to normal now..."

***

We were studying the solar system, mainly the moon and sun. I remembered from the show that princess Celestia and luna raised the moon and sun and lowered them. Rainbow Dash rested her head on her hoof. "Regretting coming with me yet?" I whispered over to her.

"Yea, if Twilight was here, she would be flipping out." Dash joked.

"On the whole no sun or moon gods thing or the concept of space and other planets?" I asked.

She thought for a few seconds. "Probably both. Wait, who raises the sun and moon here?" She perked up.

"No one. They do it themselves." I revealed to Dash.

She then started to look interested. "There has to be some pony doing it though! Things can just move on their own!"

"Yea, they can. Have you seen our clouds yet? No one pushes them around, but they still move." I pointed out the window.

She jumped out of her seat and flew to the window. She pushed her nose up against the glass while hovering with her blue wings. Dash observed the un-piloted clouds. "What the hay! How are they moving?"

The class, including the teacher was watching Dash now. "So she has wings too?" Brady was rubbing his temples.

"Sorry, she just found out that no one moves clouds or planets or anything." I explained.

"How do you have weather?" Dash turned back around and flew up to my face.

"Clouds come together and become more dense. They become too dense and raindrops form." Jeremy replied. "We actually have physics here, Rainbow Dash."

"But, then you have no idea what weathers coming!" Dash returned up against the window.

"Yea, we do. We have different things to help us predict whats coming. Like tomorrow has an eighty percent chance of rain." Dan said, he was sticky from spilling his drink.

"Quite class, back to your books!" My teacher hissed. "Jack, get your friend under control if you want her to stay in this classroom. Ron, read section two."

Dash, come sit back down!" I commanded.

She reluctantly complied. She landed on the ground and backed away from the window slowly, trying to examine the clouds as much as she could. Dash crawled back into her seat and put her head down on the desk.

Jeremy tilted his head back to us, pretending to stretch. "I was wondering about that question from before."

"What question?" Rainbow Dash mumbled from the top of the desk.

"Are you a lesbian?" I asked with curiosity in his eyes.

She sighed. "Where i'm from, we don't really worry about gender." Dash admitted.

Jeremy's eyes lit up. "Great. I'm pretty sure you just gave him a boner." I said.

"I expected that though. You've seen the show, ninety percent of their population is girls!" Jeremy added. "It makes sense!"

"Why does it matter?" Dash sat up straight, getting annoyed.

"Because he thinks lesbians are hot..." I answered.

"Indeed they are. Are you saying that they're not?" Jeremy implored.

"No, but i'm also saying that i'm not as disgusting as you." I remarked.

***

The rest of the morning classes started off the same way as first period did. Jeremy and I had the same classes all day, its one of the reasons we're friends. For some reason our original teacher in second period didn't show up. Dash came into my second period class acting like she was the substitute. It was pretty funny while it lasted. The real substitute came five minuets later. We got tired of the introductions, so we wrote all the normal questions down on a sheet of paper to carry around so we didn't have to keep explaining. At the top we labeled it F.A.Q. It was now nearing the end of fourth period.

"How much longer in this class?" Asked Rainbow Dash, on the edge of her seat.

"Not that much longer. We got lunch next!" Jeremy was getting giddy.

"We have-"DING!! The bell cut me short. "Let's go!"

I scooped Rainbow Dash up with one of my arms and lunged for the door with the rest of the class. "WHOA!" She was surprised at the sudden developments. "Whats going on? I thought you said I shouldn't get exited for lunch!" I was speeding down the stairs with her in my right arm, like how most people would hold a small dog with one arm. Jeremy was right beside me.

"Just because we don't like their food doesn't mean I want to wait in line for half an hour for a bag of chips!" I shouted, keeping the sea of people at bay with my free arm.

"That class could the the farthest from the cafeteria. If we don't hurry then we will be at the end every time for sure." Jeremy stated.

"OK, well, why did you pick me up then?" Dash cocked an eye brow, looking up to me.

"Look at this crowd! You would be passed around like a beach ball. Plus I forgot to mention about the rush, couldn't leave ya' behind!" I replied. "By the way, you are insanely light, what are you like forty pounds?"

"Pegasi have to be light, we fly a lot if you haven't noticed." She said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Makes sense... Just try to not poke me so much with your wings." We continued down the hall. I just then noticed how soft she was; for some reason I didn't think about it when I had to wash her, or when I was resuscitating her. I guess she was dirty, or I wasn't thinking about it. "Hey, Jeremy...  Touch her."

"What?" Jeremy and Dash were confused at the request.

"Just do it, feel her coat." I insisted.

He was hesitant, he reached his hand up but then pulled back. He changed his mind again and carefully brushed her coat with his fingertips. His eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "Holy, shit. Your SO SOFT!"

"Thank... You?" Dash was unable to accept the compliment just yet. We were still power walking to our destination.

"Why do you feel like velvet? Is being soft having to do with being a Pegasus too?" He joked while dodging a oncoming kid.

"I have no idea what your talking about." Dash emphasized.

"It's true. I haven't noticed it till' now, but you are really really soft for some reason." I added.

"I don't know why though, I don't exactly use conditioner." Dash maintained.

"Pfft, or soap for that matter." I scoffed.

***

We had arrived to our destination. The cafeteria was already half full. We then quickly jumped in line.

"Now that we're waiting in line, can you put me down now?" Dash pleaded.

"I would, but your so soft that I don't think i'm going to..." I said. "You hungry? I'm just getting like a bag of chips and a Gatorade."

"What else is there?" We were already in the serving line, the line was moving faster then normal.

"You can see here they have a delicious little ball of half frozen macaroni. Then they have a delectable brown apple over there too." Jeremy announced the menu sarcastically. I was still holding Rainbow Dash so that she could see the disgusting choices.

"I guess i'll just have a bag of chips too." She wrinkled her nose.

"Smart move..." I said as we passed the last resorts.

***

I set Dash down on her own hooves again so that I could pay for our meal of chips and Gatorade. We walked out of the exit line and the three of us looked for a table to sit at. We walked down the isle to a table that had four people we had from other classes motioning for us to come over.

"What the hell do you think you two are doing?" Kelly pointed to Jeremy and me.

"Yea, we only want her to sit here with us." One of her cronies added. "We don't want you two losers here" Jeremy and I were about to respond with a snarky response of our own, before Rainbow Dash spoke up first.

"Nah, i'll sit with people that aren't bitches." Rainbow Dash smirked and continued to walk away. Jeremy and I were stunned for about five seconds, trying to comprehend what just happened. We came to again and followed her to a new table occupied by Brady, Dan, and a few others.

We sat down on the end of the table, the part that was the most room. We were both beaming at Dash. "That. Was. Awesome." Jeremy started.

"I'm not entierly sure what I said, but it felt awesome." Dash reported. "I'v only heard you guys say it a few times."

My abnormally large smile began to fade a little, but definitely did not disappear. "You used it in the right way, that's for sure." I reassured. "Do you not know the definitions of the words we say?"

"What happened?" Brady asked from across the table. Curiosity finally got the best of him.

"Rainbow Dash called Kelly and them bitches!" Jeremy informed them. Gaining that knowledge put grins on all their faces. "Turns out, that she didn't even know what the word meant!"

"Bitch, means female dog. It's used as a derogatory insult to women." Dan told Dash. She had a silent 'Ohhhhh' moment.

"Calling your enemies bitches... That's some loyalty right there." I joked, only the three of us got the reference through.
