THAT MONDAY MORNING

Apple Bloom and Sweetie were walking to school when they spotted Scootaloo and another filly that was to far away to recognize dragging their hooves as they headed off to the red school house. The two thirds of the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotted over to their friend.

"Hey Scoot! Hey... Emy?!?" Sweetie Belle started with a grin but quickly changed to a confused expression as she saw her best friend's twin, "What are you doing here, Emy? I thought that Scoot was visiting you and even if you were visiting the weekends over."

"She's-She's staying here... forever." Scoot replied as both she and her sister struggled to keep hold back the tears that were stinging their eyes.

She wasn't sad about her sister coming to live with her in Ponyville. If it were any under any other circumstances, she'd be thrilled to have her sister living with her and Granddad. It was the circumstances that made tears swell up inside of her and Emy's eyes.

"Why is she..." Apple Bloom started to asked, only to stop short realizing that her friends were on the edge of tears, "Oh. Ah'm sorry Ah asked."

"No, it's ok, Apple Bloom. You didn't know." Emy told her, not wanting the yellow filly to feel guilty for something she didn't know.

The four just walked silently the rest of the way to school in silence. Scoot and Emy because they were to sad to speak; Bloom and Sweetie because they knew that the twins would appreciate it.  Miss Cheerilee was waiting for them when they arrived, as it was Emy's first day of school.

"Welcome girls," Miss Cheerilee greeted them before looking directly at Emy, "Welcome to Ponyville, Emerald. I'm sorry to here about your and Scoot's grandmother. I'm your teacher, Miss Cheerilee."

FIVE MINUTES LATER

Ring! Ring!

The school bell had now officialy began school. Miss Cheerilee and Emy made their way to the front of the class.

"Goodmorning class!" Miss Cheerilee greeted cheerfuly.

"Goodmorning Miss Cheerilee." the class responded half heartedly.

"We have a new student joining us today!" The mulberry teacher announced before giving Emy a little shove, "Go on, tell us a little about yourself."

"H-hi, I'm Emerald Glow but everypony calls me Emy. I'm living my granddad and twin sister, Scoot." Emy introduced, stumbling over her letters at first but eventually warmed up to it.

Everypony switched glances between her and Scootaloo. Apart from their eyes lavender eyes, they looked nothing alike.

"Ok Emy, why don't sit you take that empty seat behind your sister." Miss Cheerilee said before pointing out the desk she was refering to.

Emy slowly made her way to her desk and sat down. She looked around the classroom for a moment. It was a rather small room with three evenly spaced windows on the side walls. The one in front of them was without windows and instead had a chalkboard that covered most of it. A brown door stood between two windows on the wall across from it. Everypony was pulling out their homework besides her and two earth fillies. One was magenta with a purple and white mane. A tiara cutie mark adorned while the said tiara adorned her head. The other was silver with a pale silver mane and a silver spoon cutie mark. Instead of pulling out their homework they snickered and pointed to her bare flank. They mouthed the words "blank flank" and then joined the rest of the class in pulling out their assignments.

"Class bullies" Emy thought to herself. She knew she had a long day ahead of her.

Ring! Ring!

The school day was now over. Emy followed her sister and their two friends out of the school house.

"Hey Emy, we were kind of wondering if you would like to lose that honorary status and become a regular crusader." her sister asked her.

Scoot, as always, recovered from loss quicker than she did and she was rather good at forgeting painful memories for the most part. All she could truly remember at this point was Grandma was dead and the necklaces.

"Sure!" replied Emy.

The four then trotted off to the Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse.

Confused about Emy? Let me explain, she has some very obvious quirks that you can easily see by just spending more than a minute with her such as being small and clumsy. One that would become obvious within an hour is a constant change in personality. Yeah, that's right! She has mood swings!
