The moon began to fall beneath the high point of a steep hill, and the sun was beginning to rise in the same place the moon was, but clouds began to form right in front of the sun. At the Sparkles household, Shining Armor slowly began to open his eyes. Without notice, he closed his eyes to go and enjoy his blissful dream. Unfortunately, it was interrupted.
"SHINING ARMOR!" Twilight yelled while banging on the door, "IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!"
"What a great sense of deja' fo" Shining Armor said as began to rise up from his bed. He began to open his drawers and grab his normal set of school clothes. After getting all dressed-up for school, Shining begins to activate his toothbrush bot, (a robot that automatically brushes his teeth). Meanwhile, Twilight begins to put on her school uniform as well.
"Ugh! Stupid skirt!" she yells trying to force it on. Twilight tries to put as much force into putting it on as she could, but all of a sudden, POP!
"No....NO NO NO! MOMMY!!!!" Twilight begins to yell as her skirt falls flat on the floor. Twilight Velvet suddenly approaches up the stairs into Twilight's room.
"Oh Twilight darling, you did it again, didn't you?" Twilight Velvet says and begins to sigh.
"I'm sorry mommy. It's just that this skirt was too small and-" that's when Twilight knew how to fit her problem. She began to look at her plastic headband which had a unicorn horn on it, with the corner of her eye.
"What is it Twilight?" Twilight Velvet said, trying to look in Twilight's direction. But Twilight blocked her way, and pushed her mother out her room.
"Oh it's nothing mom. I know how to fix my skirt!" Twilight exclaimed. But her mother looked confused.
"Oh Twilight, are you sure?" her mother asked, while still being pushed out the door. But Twilight had a very suspicious smile, her face.
"Oh I'm sure." she said, finally getting her mother out of her room.
"Well ok, I'll call you when breakfast is ready." Twilight Velvet said waving to her beloved daughter.
"Okay! Bye!" Twilight said, slamming the door on her mother, then laying on the door in exhaustion.
"Phew! That was close!"
On his way downstairs, Shining Armor tightly fixed his tie, and slid down the rail on his stairs. He soon met up with his mom, who was by the door with a smile on her face. Shining walked up to her confused.
"Mom, you ok?" Shining asked.
"Of course!" Twilight Velvet said still wearing an unsure smile on her face.
"Okay." Shining said, and without notice, Twilight Velvet gave him a big hug, and whispered something in her son's ear.
"Don't forget to show Cadence around the school. Be a good host to her." Shining soon hugged his mother back and nodded his head, "okay." As he began to open the door, a car pulled in the Sparkles driveway. The car was shining red, with clean tires like they haven't got dirty once. The windows were spotless, and the red color of the car shined like a thousand suns.
"A corvet!" Shining Armor said with his mouth wide open and eyes wide. Soon, a beautiful cream colored woman began to walk out of the car. She walked towards Shining Armor and Twilight Velvet. As she reached their door, she looked at Shining Armor, then at Twilight Velvet.
"Are you 'Mrs. Sparkle' ?" the woman said in a proper voice. Twilight Velvet gulped.
"Well?" the woman asked once more.
"Oh.....um....yes." Twilight Velvet finally answered nervously. The woman soon looked at Shining Armor.
"Well, my niece would like to walk with your son to school. If, he doesn't mind." the woman replied, while Shining looked up and gulped as well.
"O-o-oh...of course he wouldn't mind.....right Shining?" Twilight Velvet asked nervously while elbowing Shining Armor. He soon snapped out of whatever he was thinking and nodded his head up and down. With that response, a pink colored teen soon came from behind the tall, beautiful woman. Shining's eyes soon brightened.
"Cadence!" he yelled and ran over to give Cadence a hug. But the tall woman blocked him.
"I don't think so!" she began, "if you think you can hug my niece, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!" Shining gulped and started backing away. Cadence soon slapped her forehead.
"Aunt Celestia, don't scare my friend, like you did back in Manhattan!" Cadence scolded. Soon, Shining Armor and Twilight Velvet began to recognize the woman.
"President Celestia!?" the both yelled in confusion. Celestia soon smacked her forehead as well.
"Got dammit Cadence! I didn't want them to know yet!" Celestia scolded Cadence.
"Ugh! Never mind that. Anyway.....Shining Armor, would you like to walk with my niece to school. Do you mind that?" Celestia said, giving him a serious grin. Shining Armor nodded his head side to side very fast.

"No not at all." Cadence soon walked over to Shining Armor and gave him a soft hug. Celestia sighed.

"Very well then, and if it's ok with your mother, you can come over her house after school." Shining Armor soon made puppy dog eyes, as his mother rolled her eyes and laughed.

"It's fine with me." Twilight Velvet said with a soft smile. Celestia sighed once more and headed towards her car.

"Cadence, have a good day at school. And Shining Armor," she began, "watch my daughter, and don't anything stupid. I trust you." Shining gave her the thumbs up. Soon, Celestia's car was soon out of the Sparkles driveway. Shining Armor and Cadence began to walk to school.

"Have a good day at school Shining!" Twilight Velvet waved to her son has he departed the house. She then sighed and laughed.

"Yes, go have fun."
Shining Armor and Cadence walked together in complete silence. Sometimes, Shining Armor would look at Cadence, and then she would look at him. Cadence would reach for Shining's hand, but would pull it back up since she was too scared to grab his hand. Soon, the two wear headed up a gray and navy blue house with a well-cut lawn and gnomes but the door. Cadence looked at the house very confused.
"Um, Shining?" Cadence began, "where are we? I thought we were going to school?" Shining soon turned around and smiled, which made Cadence blush. His smiles always melted her heart.
"We are going to school, I'm just here to pick up my friend Gaffer. Him, my friend 8-Bit and I always walk to school together. And now, your added to the pack." Shining Armor replied as Cadence raised an eyebrow.
"Pack? We're not wolves." she said and laughed. So did Shining.
"It's an expression." Shining soon walked towards the door, and began to knock. Soon, a orange colored woman (who looked like she was in her mid-30s) opened the door.
"Oh hello Shining! Are you here for Gaffer?" the woman asked.
"Yes Mrs. Pepton." Shining said nodded his head. Soon, Mrs. Pepton's direction was at Cadence.
"Oh who's this beautiful young lady? Is she your girlfriend?" she asked.
"Oh no, she's just a friend of mine." he replied with a smile. Soon, Gaffer came by the door and greeted Shining Armor with their normal handshake.
"Hey Gaffer. You ready to go?" Shining finally asked his friend.
"Yep-" Gaffer's eyes soon looked at Cadence. She began to wave and greeted him.
"Hello Gaffer. I'm Cadence." she said softly. Gaffer's eyes looked at Cadence, then Shining, then at Cadence again, the at Shining again.
"Would you excuse us for a minute." Gaffer said while he pulled Shining Armor by the door.
"So.....trying to make a move on the President's niece?" Gaffer whispered to Shining with a smile on his face. Shining soon blushed.
"What?! No! She wanted to come with me....I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS THE PRESIDENT'S NIECE GOT DAMMIT!" Shining replied angrily. Gaffer laughed evilly.
"Okay..but if you do make a move her, I'm here for advice." Gaffer said winking while Shining Armor rolled his eyes. Soon the guys met up with Cadence.
"Okay....let's go pick up 8-Bit-"
"He said he's driving to school today." Gaffer interrupted. Shining Armor began to twitch and turn his head.
"Thanks Gaffer." Shining said while grinning his teeth.
Soon, Gaffer, Shining Armor, and Cadence walked towards their beloved school.
"Seattle State High." Shining said, waving his hands in the sky.
"It's a school where people have bad dreams and pressuring teachers who give you a lot of homework." Gaffer added. Shining Armor began to twitch and turn his head, once again.
"Thanks again Gaffer." Soon, 8-Bit approached Gaffer and Shining.
"Hey guys whats up?" 8-Bit said greeting his friends. But soon his attention was on Cadence. He looked at Cadence, then at Shining, then at Cadence, then at Gaffer. Then he pulled his friends near the school gates by the ears.
"Excuse us, we'll be back." he said to Cadence. The boys soon approached by the gates.
"Hey, 8-Bit, what's wrong?" Shining Armor asked his friend.
"Oh what's wrong? Oh I'll tell you what's wrong. WHY THE HELL IS PRESIDENT CELESTIA'S NIECE WALKING WITH YOU TWO????!!!!" 8-Bit replied angrily.
"Ugh....for the last time. I didn't know she was the president's niece, okay? God." Shining said and began to make a grumpy face. 8-Bit raised his eyebrow and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." The boys soon approached to Cadence who jumped up and snapped out of what she was thinking.
"Sorry Cadence, my friends wanted to talk to me about something." Shining Armor said trying to cover up.
"Oh it's fine, can we go to school now?" Cadence said, asking the three boys nice and soft. The boys turned near Cadence and nodded their heads.
"Of course." the boys said.
Afterwards, Gaffer, 8-Bit, Cadence, and Shining Armor walked into their school. While 8-Bit and Gaffer went to their lockers, Shining Armor took Cadence to the office. Gaffer and 8-Bit looked at him in confusion.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking her to the office." Shining said directing Cadence to the office. The boys soon gave him the thumbs up and walked away. Cadence and Shining Armor soon approached the office. Cadence was confused.
"So.....those two are your best friends?" Cadence asked as Shining laughed.
"Nah.....that's too gay....we're more of best buds. Like a wolf pack." Shining explained.
"Oh, can I be part of your pack?" Cadence asked as Shining looked at her with a smile.
"Of course." Shining said softly. Cadence's blushed and turned away. Soon, a tall cream colored man, with blue wavy hair, and in a black striped tuxedo walked up to Cadence and Shining. Shining walked up to the man.
"Hello Principal Fancy Pants, this is Cadence. She's new here." Shining introduced.
"Oh, okay. Welcome Cadence, I hear your the President's niece. What brings you to Seattle?" Principal Fancy Pants replied. Cadence smiled.
"Well, my auntie, as well as the president, wanted to see what it was like to live in a state that was more presentable to her. So she chose Seattle." Cadence explained. Principal Fancy Pants soon nodded his head and directed Cadence and Shining Armor near his office.
"Okay Cadence," he began, "one of your aunties already created your class schedule, and basically gave you all the classes Shining Armor is in. So....all you need is a locker." Shining Armor soon froze. "All my classes?"
Meanwhile, Principal Fancy Pants gave Cadence her locker number. Cadence read it carefully.
"B-109?" she read. Shining Armor jumped up.
"Hey! Your locker is right next to mine." he said happily. Cadence smiled.
"Now I have all your classes, and I'm next to you." she replied softly. Principal Fancy Pants began to smile as well.
"Shining Armor, you go take Cadence to her class. I'm sure she'd be happy to meet her teacher." Principal Fancy Pants suggested. Shining's eyes soon brightened.
"Your right! Let's go Cadence!" Shining said, pulling Cadence out the door. Principal Fancy Pants smiled and waved as they soon left out.
"Who's the teacher?" Cadence asked out of breath. Shining Armor had been pulling her by the arm, while running for hours. They both were out of breath as they reached the door.
"Don't worry, your gonna love her." Shining said as he opened the door. Cadence was startled. All she could see was about 15 students looking dead at her.
"Shining Armor....your lucky you made it in time." a magenta colored woman wearing a medium sized green skirt with a white buttoned shirt which was tucked into her skirt looked at Shining Armor as he was completely out of breath. Gaffer and 8-Bit walked towards him.
"Where's Cadence?" 8-Bit asked Shining. Shining Armor soon pointed behind him. The woman walked up to Shining Armor.
"Who's behind you?" she asked. Soon Cadence came from behind Shining Armor, and the woman's mouth was wide open.
"Now Miss Cheerilee," Shining began, "before you go saying 'why is the president's niece with you?' first off, I didn't know she was the president's niece first off. Second, she's new here, so do you think you can give her a nice, and proper welcome." Miss Cheerilee calmed down, and approached Cadence.
"I'm sorry, welcome to my class Cadence! It's a pleasure to meet you." Miss Cheerilee said with a warm smile. Cadence was unsure, but she soon smile back.
"It's a pleasure to me, you to." she said back. Miss Cheerilee soon directed Cadence to her seat. Cadence was soon in a seat, which was surprisingly, behind Shining Armor.
"Just get as comfortable as you can Cadence, and if you have any questions, you can ask me or Shining Armor." Miss Cheerilee said and went back to her desk. Shining Armor turned around to Cadence and smiled.
"Told you you'd love her." he said and turned around.
Cadence smiled.
