A Rose Blooms in Equestria

   In Canterlot High, there are many unique characters.  But out of all of them, Im the most unique.  The name is Rose Quartz.  I have light pink skin with brown and pink hair.  I always wears a purple sweater with a magenta skirt with a pink gem on it.  Im a very timid girl, and I barely talk to anybody.  I likes music, and I love to sing, but I have stage fright.  I also love all things sparkly.  One day, I walked into the school  and saw something on the bulletin board.  I took a closer look and saw a painting of a mountain with a meadow around it.

"Wow, this is so good", I thought, "I wonder who made this"

   Suddenly, a couple of girls walked passed me.

"Hey, do you know who made that painting?", asked one of the girls to her friend

"Yeah, I think she's in the art room right now", replied her friend

   I walked through the school corridor, until I reached the art room.  Inside was a girl working on her painting.  She had tan skin with brown hair.  She had on a teal shirt with an orange skirt with a paint brush and pencil in the shape of a heart.  She also had  a light blue beret on.  I hid behind the door as I watched her.  I didn't want to disturb her.

"So that's the artist", I thought.

"Hello", greeted the girl.

   I stammered for a bit and ran away.  I guess I really am that shy.

"That was so embarassing", I thought while running "I wish I can just talk to people without running away"

   As I was running, I bumped into somebody and fell down, making the other person drop her books.  She had light pink skin with light blue hair.  She wore a blue t-shirt with a red skirt with a stick of cotton candy on it.

"Im so sorry", I apoligized while picking up some of the books, "Here, let me help"

"Oh no, it's fine", assured the girl picking up her books.

   I picked up the last of the books and handed them to the girl.

"Thanks", said the girl.

"Your welcome", I replied before walking away.

   While walking, I heard some laughter.  I turned to the corner and saw a couple of kids making fun of a girl.  She had light pink skin with purple hair wearing a purple shirt with a magenta skirt.

"Oh look girls, she's crying", teased one of the bullies.

   I ran over to the scene and stood in front of the girl.

"Leave her alone", I said.

"Oh yeah", said one of the bullies, "And what are you gonna do we don't"

   I was pushed to the ground.  Suddenly, a tall figure stood behind them.

"And what are you students doing?", asked the figure

   She had light blue skin with blue hair.  She had on a purple shirt with purple jeans.

"Vice principal Luna", I whispered.

"Im waiting for an answer", said Luna.

"Um…we were just…tutoring them?", lied one of the bullies

"You three, my office NOW", ordered Luna

"Yes, ma'am", replied the bullies walking into her office

"I don't think you two will worry about them anymore", said Luna before walking into her office

   I stood up and helped the girl up.

"Are you ok?", asked Rose.

"I am now", replied the girl standing up.

"Why were they making fun of you?"

"Well, it's I…I"

   The girl removed her arm which turned out to be prostetic.

"I was born with only one arm", explained the girl putting her arm back on, "Everybody thinks Im a weird freak so they make fun of me because of that"

"I don't think you're weird", I explained, "You're just…unique"

"Unique?"

"Yeah, infact, that can be your nickname"

"Thanks, um…"

"Rose.  Rose Quartz"

"Your named after a gem"

"I know, my mom thought it would be funny"

   Unique laughed at my joke.

"I gotta get to class", I said.

"Thanks again", said Unique hugging her.

   I hugged back and walked away.  After class, I had lunch.  I was sitting alone, while eating a salad.  Suddenly, a guy with light grey skin and brown hair.  He was wearing a white hoodie with a red shirt underneath with jeans.  He's my best friend Silver Strings, who I also have a bit of a crush on.

"Hey Rose", greeted Silver.

"Oh hey Silver", I replied blushing, "What's up?"

"Oh I just had band rehersal, so now Im here.  Mind if I sit here?"

"Not at all"

   Silver sat next to me, as my blushing increased.

"What's up with that girl over there?", I asked.

   I pointed to a girl a little bit younger than me.  She had white skin with brown hair with purple and blue highlights.  She was wearing a grey hoodie with jeans and a grey hat.

"I don't know", replied Silver, "I heard that she's kind of a loan wolf"

"Well Im gonna go sit with her", I said getting up.

"I'll go too"

   Silver and I walked over to the table where the girl is.

"Hey, we saw that you were kind of lonely.  Mind if we sit here?", I asked.

"Go ahead", replied the girl, "Im Ivory Ink, by the way"

"Nice to meet you, Ivory", I replied, "Im Rose Quartz, and this is my friend Silver Strings"

"I know Silver", said Ivory, "He's the lead guitar in the band, Indirect Kiss.  I love your new song, "Girl with the Rosy Pink Cheeks"

"Thanks.  I kinda had inspiration with that one", explained Silver looking at a blushing me.

   After school, I went to my locker, and saw Silver.

"Hey Silver", I greeted, "What's up?"

"Im just getting ready for our concert tonight", replied Silver, "Your going, right?"

"Of course.  I never miss any of your concerts"

"That's why your my number one fan"

   I blushed at his words.

"I gotta go, I'll seeya there", said Silver before walking away.

   I walked away blushing, and ran out of the school.  Suddenly, I tripped on a rock, thus making me drop my books.  Suddenly, my apple from lunch rolled away from me and landed on the edge of the school's statue.  Then the weirdest thing happened, it went through the statue and disappeared.

"Huh?", I asked curiously

   I put my hand theough the statue and retracted it.  I then crawled through the statue and fell through.  I started to feel dizzy, so I passed out.  Then, everything went black.
