The Adventures of Shimmer Rose and Autumn Leaf

My name is Shimmer Rose, and I am very shy. It taking a lot to tell you this story, but I'll pull through. Anyway, it all started on my first day of middle school. I was walking past my cousin, Derpy's house as she came out. She was 10 years older than me so she called "hey squirt!" I waved a shy wave and quietly walked on. Yes, I'm shy around my family too. One reason I am shy is because of my blank flank. I was 10 and still didn't have it. I was definetly an outcast. Anyway, I finally got to school and was greeted by a snooty pink filly with a purple and white mane, followed by a grey filly with a light grey mane and glasses.

"Well well well, a new student. Hopefully, not another blank flank" retorted the pink one. I threw my tail around my flank in embarrassment and flew off. I could tell that they were not going to be fun. I landed away from them in the back of the classroom. I think I'll just sit back here. I took a seat as the rest of the class came in. The first one I saw was my adopted cousin, Dinky, daughter to Derpy and Time Turner. She was two years younger than me so she wen't to another room connected to my classroom. Then, the bullies came in. Great I thought sarcastically.

Everypony else filed in and the teacher, much to my annoyance, said "Everypony, today we have a new student. Come on up, Shimmer Rose." I shyly made my way up to the front but kept my head down. "This is Shimmer Rose. Say hello, everypony."

"Hi!" yelled the entire class. Well, all except the pink and grey fillies.

"Diamond Tiara? Silver Spoon? Aren't you going to greet our new student?"

They rolled their eyes and said slately in unsion "hi."

I didn't stick around any longer. I flew back to my seat and sunk down into it. This was definitely going to be a long school year.

Before long, lunch came. I grabbed my lunch our of my saddle bag and sat down at a far away table. I wanted nothing to do with those snobs and their friends. Sadly, I only got 5 minutes of silence before the bully brigade showed up. "I couldn't help bur notice while you were being introduced that you were a blank flank. Your just a stupid, talentless nopony that nopony cares about. Hahaha!" remarked Diamond Tiara. I started to cry but was startled out of it by a crash of thunder. A bolt of lightning hit the ground between her and I. We looked up to find a blue pegasus colt standing atop a thunderhead. I was astonished to see him for two reasons; one being that he did that and two, because he was wearing a hat. Your probably wondering, why because he's wearing a hat? Well, it's because pegasi don't wear hats, they get in the way of our flying. Interesting... I thought.

"You leave Shimmer Rose alone you bullies" the mysterious colt yelled down at us. "Go pick on somepony with your own brain capacity." I laughed at that but got a death glare from Diamond and Silver. "Didn't you fillies hear me? I said go away!" Frightened, the bully brigade galloped off and the colt landed beside me.

"Thank you, uhhh..." crap! I don't know his name! Oh, how embarrassing! He saw my reaction and chuckled. I got scared and flew off. I could still hear him laughing. Seconds later, however, he was in front of me. Hmmm... odd. His wings are bigger than a normal pegasus our age. What is up with this colt? I thought.

"It's Autumn Leaf" he stated.

"huh?"

"My name is Autumn Leaf. I saw you this morning as you were being introduced and thought ' a blank flank? uh oh'" I covered my flank with my tail once more. It was already bad having one, but I now had every stinkin pony pointing it out. Suddenly, the bell rang. Yes! Saved by the bell!" With that, I flew off to class.
