Sunset Shimmer was once a stuck up pony who lived in Equestria. But after abandoning Princess Celestia, she used the magic mirror to escape to the human world. But after coming to this new world and trying to use Princess Twilight's crown to take over Equestria, she was shown the light and learned that the magic of friendship is the only magic that can truly unite us all. After the Fall Formal incident, she became a better person, but it took a while for others to see that. After helping to stop the Sirens from taking over the human world, she has regained more respect.

Now, many people ask her for help in school and try to become her friend. Of course, the alternate main six(minus Twilight) still are her close friends. Even though she has many new friends, she still isn't friends with everybody in the school, but that isn't her fault. That being that she can't be friends with, and I quote, "a Big mean meanie pants." But that isn't that point of this story. Once, a new student came to CHS, and Sunset now wanted everybody to know she was reformed now. Of course, it doesn't go well, but why you ask, well I'm here to tell you.

One bright and shiny day at Canterlot High, Sunset Shimmer had arrived for school. She knew her schedule well and knew how to impress her teachers in all her classes. Before she entered the building, she heard that voice she was used to by now. "HEY SUNSET SHIMMER!!! OVER HERE!!!!" 'That's my cue', thought Sunset. As if by instinct, she hurried over to her friend Pinkie Pie. "Hey Pinkie," she replied, "How are you?"

"I've been great," said Pinkie, "I got Gummie the cuuuuuuuutttttiest little top hat for his birthday party coming up."

"That's nice. I'm assuming you've invited some people to attend."

"Of course. If I didn't, then it wouldn't be a party."

"I guess not. Well, who did you decide to invite."

"Well Dashie, Applejack, Flutters, and Rarity. I also want to know if you can come. I think Gummie misswwes you."

"Of course I'll come. If I didn't, then it wouldn't be a party, now would it?"

"Hahaha, I guess not. Anyway, you ready for class today"

"Of course. I think English is my best subject besides science thanks to you." The two had also begun to walk to first period. As pointed out, Sunset and Pinkie have the same English class first period.

"Oh, it's no trouble, anything for a friend."

****************************************************************************************

Pinkie and Sunset arrived in their first period class. As they walked in the door, the teacher (whose name escapes me at the moment, but isn't a big role in this story) called her to her desk. Sunset did as she was asked.

"Miss Shimmer, "said the teacher, "I am pleased to tell you that you won't need to be in my class today..." Before Sunset Shimmer could ask why, the teacher explained, "...because Principle Celestia wishes to see you in her office for a moment. She says it will take longer than this period, so you would be here in class today. But do not worry, we are only take notes to get set up for a new book. I will make sure Pinkie Pie will take them for you. Now off to Celestia's before your late."

"Yes ma'am," said Sunset, and she set off on her journey.

By the time Sunset Shimmer arrived at Principle Celestia's office, it was already 5 minutes into the period. She reached to door and knocked.

"Come in," said a voice. Sunset entered the room, and in there was only Principle Celestia behind her desk sorting through some important papers.

"You wanted to see me Principle Celestia?"

"Yes, Sunset Shimmer. I have something I need you to do for me." Sunset be came a little nervous.

"What would that be?" she asked.

"I would like you to show a new student around the school for me."

"Oh," she replied, expecting something else, "Now, I'm not ungrateful ma'am, but why me. The last time I showed students around, they tried to destroy the balance of this world." Celestia and Sunset laughed at the memory.

"I know Miss Shimmer. But, I think this would be your chance to have a redo after the last incident. Plus, I think it would give you a chance to bond with new students. It would also give them the chance to get to know the new you.

"Well... alright then. I'll do it."

"That a girl," replied Celestia, "He's waiting in the main foyer now. You shouldn't keep him waiting."

"Okay ma'am," said Sunset, "I won't let you down." And with that, Sunset Shimmer set off to the main foyer.

*****************************************************************************************

Sunset Shimmer arrived at the main foyer. There by the door was the new student. He had brown hair and braces, and was wearing a regular pair of grey sneakers (that would look like a Nike brand) that had red bottoms, a black pair of pants with a brown belt, a white button down shirt, a grey and maroon striped sweater, and a black bow tie. He had a grey backpack and was carrying a green notebook and seemed to be writing something down with a fancy looking pen.

'Wow,' thought Sunset, 'He looks, kinda cute with that bow tie and sweater. Well, might as well introduce myself.' "Hello there," she said as she approached him, "My name is Sunset Shimmer." The new student seemed to jump at the sound of her voice, and almost dropped his notebook.

"Oh, hi." he said in a low voice.

"What's your name?" asked Sunset cheerfully.

"Um, my name is Blauvelt. Tryston Blauvelt," he replied quietly.

"Well Tryston, it's nice to meet you."

"It's, um, nice to meet you too."

"I like your bow tie and your sweater."

"Thank you. I like your... jacket."

"Why thank you. I got this at one of the best clothing stores, but that's besides the point. I'm here to show you around the school so you can get to know the school when you start classes."

"That's very nice of you."

"Oh, it's no trouble. It's a special request from Principle Celestia herself. Lets get going."

"Okay." So the two started walking down the hall, and Tryston started making some marks in his notebook.

"If you don't mind me asking," said Sunset, "What's that?" Tryston looked over to her.

"Oh, this is just a book I use to draw in. Drawing is like my favorite pass time in school. It helps me let my inner artist come out."

"Well, that's interesting. You don't mind if I could see one, do you?"

"Well...okay, but only if you keep it between us."

"Of course." So Tryston flipped through the notebook and found an image. Sunset was surprised.

"Cool. What are these trains suppose to represent?" she asked.

"Well," said Tryston, "They are my version of them from a tv show..." he started to blush a little,"... they're, narrow gauge steam trains." Tryston's face was now a bright shade of red. Sunset knew of only one tv show with trains like the ones on the page.

"Wait a minute, you still watch Thomas the train?" asked Sunset in a low voice.

"Well," said Tryston, "In a matter of speaking, yes. Please don't laugh at me." Tryston was all prepared for insults to be thrown his way, but none came. "Well, aren't you gonna laugh at me and call me a baby?" he asked.

"No, actually, one of my friends babysits for her boss's twins who watch it too. She has gotten into it too. One time, she even dressed as one of the characters for Halloween..." Sunset chuckled at the memory, "It was quite entertaining." Now, Sunset had gotten a good look at his fisique and noticed how squared his shoulders were and he seemed to have a little upper body strength.

"I must ask," she said, "Do you do sports."

"Well, yes," replied Tryston, "I play football. And before you ask, I'm a lineman. I make sure the opponents can't get through."

"Well, no wonder you have a strong build."

"Well, thank you."

"Anyway," said Sunset Shimmer, "Upcoming is the..." And she continued to show Tryston around, she noticed most of the time he was silent. He would comment about the various rooms and other things around the school, but that was it. Now, because the school was so big, they had went through at least 4 periods. By the bell that separated 4th and 5th period, the tour was already half over, and this was the free periods Sunset had before lunch.

"Well, the tour is halfway over now," said Sunset to Tryston, "Would you like to hang out with me and my friends until after lunch?"

"I'd like to," said Tryston, "but I'm not sure your friends would like to have me around. No group I've known in my life has every wanted me around."

"Oh, I'm sure they will. They're the best group of friends you could ask for. Sure, we may not all agree at times, but we all remain friends no matter what. Come on." So Sunset grabbed his hand and dragged him through the hall to music room where the band equipment was set up. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were already there getting ready.

"Hey Sunset Shimmer," said Rainbow Dash, "Who's the new guy?"

"Oh," said Sunset, "This is Tryston. Principle Celestia wanted me to show him around the school before he starts tomorrow. He also does football."

"Oh does he," said Rainbow walking over to him and holding out her hand to shake, "Nice to meet you. Name's Rainbow Dash." Tryston took her hand in for a handshake. He had seen this trick all through his life. Dash went to give his hand a squeeze to cause a little pain, for fun of course. However she used all her force, and nothing. Tryston gave a small squeeze, and Rainbow was on the floor.

"Wow," said Applejack. Soon enough, Rainbow got up. "That was impressive," she said, "How did you do that."

"I squeezed your hand," replied Tryston, turning a little red.

"Well howdy there Tryston. I'm Applejack. Nice bow tie."

"Thanks. So, you have a band?"

"Yep, " said Dash, "The band is called The Rainboom's. We still have unaccounted members though. Where are they?"

"Fluttershy and Pinkie are helping rarity with something," said Applejack, "Don't know what though." As if on cue, the three came racing into the room. Rarity was pulling a mobile clothes rack, Pinkie was carrying a basket, and Fluttershy was dragging another clothes rack.

"Hey guys," said Rainbow, "What's with the racks Rarity?"

"Oh," said Rarity, "I've brought some new outfits we could try for our band."

'Typical Rarity,'thought Applejack.

"I think this one would be perfect for you Applejack," said Rarity taking one of the bags containing the outfit, walking over and handing it to Applejack, oblivious to Tryston in the room next to Sunset, scribbling another drawing.

"Why Sunset Shimmer," she said, "Who's your friend?"

"Oh," said Sunset, "This is Tryston. He's a new student Celestia wants me to show around the school."

"Well, Tryston," said Rarity holding out her hand, making Tryston shooting up at the mention of his name, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Rarity Belle." Tryston took Rarity's in for a shake, being a lot lighter than the squeeze he had given Rainbow.

"It's nice to meet you too," replied Tryston in a low pitch of voice, "My name is Blauvelt, Tryston Blauvelt."

"Tryston Blauvelt huh?" asked Rarity, "You wouldn't happen to be related to a Mr. William Blauvelt, would you." Tryston seemed hesitant to answer.

"William Blauvelt," he said, "Was my father..." he then had a flashback of various images from his past that weren't very good, "But... he pasted away...several years ago."

"Oh," said Rarity, "I am very sorry to hear that. William Blauvelt and my father were good friends."

"There is no need to be sorry," replied Tryston, "But, thank you anyway. Even though it was years ago, and I've moved on from it, it's still not a nice topic to bring up." Meanwhile, Pinkie had been giving invitations out to everyone in the room. She then walked over to Rarity and Sunset and gave them theirs. However, she seemed to have an extra one.

"Whoops," she said, "I must have set the copier for 6 copies instead of 5." She then noticed Tryston was the only one without one.

"Hey Sunset," she said, "Who's your friend?"

"This is Tryston," said Sunset, "Principle Celestia wants me to show him around the school before he starts tomorrow." Pinkie, by nature, jumped over to Tryston and gave him a big hug.

"NicetomeetyouMynameisPinkiepie.Areyounewtotheschool.Wellofcourseyouare,otherwiseyouwouldn'thaveatour.Ifyournewthenyoumustnothaveanyfriends.Andifyoudon'thaveanyfriendsyoumustbesosadandneedapartytocheeryouup.Here,youcancometoGummie's3rdbirthday." said Pinkie in her usual welcome speech(minus the Gummie's birthday part), and she handed the invite to Tryston. He gratefully took the invite and quickly skimmed it.

"Thank you," said Tryston quietly.

"Anyway," said Dash, "I think we should start practice."

"Which song should we do first?" asked Fluttershy. Pinkie whispered something in Dash's ear.

"Good choice," said Dash looking towards Tryston, "And what better, we have an audience." So they all got their equipment set up, and the song began.

Tryston was amazed by how well they played, especially Sunset Shimmer. Once the song ended, Tryston was clapping so hard his hands that they would catch fire.

"Thank you, thank you," said Pinkie.

"That was great!" exclaimed Tryston, "Did you come up with that yourselves?"

"Well..." said Fluttershy.

"Yes," interrupted Rainbow abruptly, "Lets do another." So they whole double-period was spent practicing songs and showing off their skills to Tryston. No one but Sunset Shimmer noticed he seemed to be drawing something in his notebook. No sooner than the last song ended, that the bell rang.

"That's our exit cue," said Applejack, "Lunch time."

"Actually," said Sunset, "I was wondering if Tryston could join us today."

"Why sure," said Applejack.

"Fine by me," added Rainbow Dash.

"Why of course," said Rarity, "It would be nice to have a new member joining us today.

"That's okay with me too," said Fluttershy in a low pitch of voice.

"That would be great!" exclaimed Pinkie.

"Then it's settled," said Sunset Shimmer. So after all the equipment was cleaned up, they all set off, Tryston following behind at a good distance. Tryston then started walking slower, just to take in the sight of the school.

"It is a beautiful building, isn't it?" said a voice. Tryston turned around to see a formally dressed man wearing a bowler hat.

"Yes it is," replied Tryston, "Do you know it well?"

"Well enough. I'm the principle of Canterlot Intermediate School. I'm Percival, Peregrine Percival."

"It's nice to meet you. I'm... Tryston Blauvelt."

"I know who you are. You're the young man who came back from the dead. It must have been awful for you on that island."

"It was. But I really don't like to talk about it Mr. Percival."

"Of course, forgive me. I understand. Now, I would like to chat some more, but I have to meet with Principle Celestia about something important. It was nice meeting you Mr. Blauvelt." Then Peregrine left.

"Yes," said Tryston quietly. He then began to have another flashback, of a book his father gave him that had a list of names, and Mr. Percival's on it, "And you as well."

"Come on Tryston!" called Pinkie Pie, "You don't wanna miss lunch."

"I'm coming," replied Tryston, dashing down the hallway to catch up.

*************************************************************************************************

Tryston and Sunset Shimmer were in the lunch line. Sunset was telling Tryston about her past life while they were grabbing the food placed. She was almost to the part when she took the crown from Twilight and turned into an evil raging she-demon, when they reached the end of the line and headed to the table. The others were waiting for them.

"Hey guys," said Dash. Throughout lunch, the six girls were having their regular lunch discussions of the day. Tryston remained mostly silent, a little to silent for the rest of the group. After Tryston was done eating, he took his tray over to the drop off area. After he left, Sunset started to discuss something with the rest of the group.

"He seems a little too...mute," she said.

"Oh hush now girl," said Applejack, "He's probably getting used to this new school."

"I agree," added Rarity, "He has moved from another city. He may still be getting used to everything here."

"I'm sure he'll come around in time," added Dash, "With friends like us, I'm sure he'll come around in at least a week." After that final word, Tryston had came back to the table and sat down. He grabbed his pen and his notebook.

"I like your pen Tryston," said Rarity.

"It's a pencil," replied Tryston, not even looking up.

"Well, your bow tie is nice," said Fluttershy.

"Thanks," said Tryston, again not raising his head, "Bow ties are cool." Rarity giggled at his comment. Applejack raised an eyebrow to her and it made her blush and fondle with her curls. Tryston of course, didn't notice.

"Ooooohhh, whatya drawing?" asked Pinkie.

"Something personal," replied Tryston, not taking his eyes off the piece of art he was about to create. Tryston didn't know what he was drawing either, but knew it was gonna be great. Soon, a shock came to the table.

"Why hello there Rain-goons."

"Go away Trixie," said Applejack, "We were actually trying to enjoy our day, thank you."

"Oh Applejack," said Trixie, "I'm not here for you six, I'm here for the new kid." This time Tryston raised his head and turned around.

"Oh yeah," he said, "What do you want?!"

"I'm just gonna warn you, these six have a whole other side that only those at this school know. You won't be safe with them."

"Sounds like my kind of people," retorted Tryston.

"Not really. There is a lot you don't know."

"I don't care. Right now, they seem better than you."

"Oh don't be too judgmental. They aren't what they seem."

"So..."

"Well, um..."

"Exactly, you can't even come up with another comeback. I win."

"Win what? With that stupid bow tie, you wouldn't be able to accomplish anything in life, minus looking dumb."

"Whatever. Your insults are dry and not worth my time, so just go crawl back to the nearest whole in the ground."

"Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh," said Dash, "He got you Trixie."

"Oh yeah," said Trixie, taking Tryston's notebook and looked at it.

"No!" yelled Tryston, standing up, "Give that back! That's the last thing my mom bought me before leaving for Manhattan!" Trixie ignored him, and instead showed the picture to the whole table. It was a non-colored version of this:

Everyone was surprised. Sunset Shimmer even blushed a little. Tryston flopped back down in his seat and slammed his head down on the table. Rainbow had seen enough. She stood up and walked toward Trixie.

"Now what the hell was that for!?!?!?" she shouted.

"Well excuse me!" said Trixie, "He was really annoying me."

"There was still no reason for that Trixie! Now, give me the book!"

"You're not my mother."

"That wasn't a question." Trixie could the fury in her eyes, so she rolled her own and gave Rainbow the book.

"Now I want you get away from this table. If I see you anywhere near this table before the end of the period, I will personally see to it you stop forever." Trixie just huffed and walked away. When Dash looked back at the table, she put the book down by Tryston and saw that Pinkie and Fluttershy were making sure he was okay. There was a long silence. At last, after 5 minutes, the bell rang. Tryston had woken up, but was still loopy.

"Sunset, you should look after him. He still has a tour you need to complete."

"Okay," replied Sunset. So Sunset propped him on her shoulders and helped him and his stuff out of the Cafeteria.

***************************************************************************************************

"Wake up Tryston. Come on, wake up. Thata boy." Tryston had taken a bad hit to the head, and made him unconscious. When he woke up, he saw that he was on the floor in the hallway, with Sunset Shimmer right in front of him. Tryston almost jumped.

"It's okay," said Sunset, "I'm not gonna hurt you." Tryston remembered the scene that happened in the Cafeteria.

"I'm sorry for what I did," he said.

"It's okay," said Sunset, "After looking at it for a while, I thought it was kind of... sweet."

"You did?"

"Yeah. But, I have to ask, why draw me?"

"Well, it's just that you're the first girl I've met at this school, and you were so nice to me, and your so pretty. So, I decided to make a picture for you to repay you." Sunset's face turned red, especially after he said she was pretty. She then showed a big smile.

"You didn't have to do that Tryston."

"But I wanted to."

"Alright then, how about after school, I take you to the park. There's something I think you'd like to see."

"Okay, that sounds like fun."

"Yes, but for now, shall we continue with the tour?"

"Lead the way." Tryston got up and followed Sunset Shimmer for the rest of the tour.

Author's Note
