Don't Want to be a Canterlot Idiot

Light Shock found himself walking through the schools grand hall yet again. He was walking through the grand hall with it's splitting paths and various hallways. He was standing by the junior hallway now. He was hurrying along to his locker since his first period chemistry class was two hallways away and his locker was a mess. It was filled with crunched  paper and a couple of posters held only by a piece of tape. He would often have to lean into it to make sure anyone walking by wouldn't see the mess that was his locker.

As he was walking away from his locker he came across Rainbow Dash, however she was not alone. She was walking along with five girls but only a couple could Light Shock recognize. He knew the lead of the group, Twilight Sparkle was in his first period chemistry class and would often help Light Shock. He often had trouble going along with the teachers pace and would sometimes doze off. The first person he would always ask for help was Twilight since she was always on task and knew what she was doing. However she would get occasionally angry at him for not paying attention but was still generally a pleasant person to be around.

As for the second person he knew everyone knew Pinkie Pie. She was very energetic and would sometimes even jump around as a substitution for walking. Of course most people would take this in the direction that she must have ADHD but most people don't mind it since she generally is a very uplifting person to talk to. I tried to wave to Rainbow Dash in hopes she would at least see my presence. By this point I didn't really have anyone to talk to and simply went off to first period.

As I walked along to first period I saw Sunset Shimmer this time. She seemed to be alone and everyone was either ignoring her or giving her weird looks. Light Shock wanted to stop by but had to hurry back over to class.

"Light Shock how the hell did you not understand that"

Twilight was helping Light Shock as he stood by his desk wielding test tubes and experimental chemicals. Light Shock had trouble understanding the periodic table so he looked at some of the chemicals in confusion. Twilight had to practically carry him to finish the experiment as he continued to struggle. He was happy Twilight would help him since everyone in the classroom would have likely told him to go away.

"Look Twilight thanks for your help and all but now that I'm almost done can I tell you something about Rainbow Dash."

"Anything really, Rainbow Dash is a friend and you can tell me whatever you want to tell me about her." replied Twilight as she rushed to wash away the test tubes and store them in the back of the room with the rest.

"Well I was with her this morning and we were playing guitar in the band room and I wanted to ask exactly why she's so good."

"Rainbow Dash was the lead in a band I was part of for a music contest and we still play together, but of course Rainbow Dash likes to do her thing".

Light Shock was now wondering as he packed up to leave first period who else might have played with Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. After the bell rang he found himself wondering just why he had never heard about the competition and their band. He had to hurry along for the rest of the day and make sure he got the chance to talk to Rainbow Dash.

At lunch later that day he was looking for a place to sit. The first thing he saw was Rainbow Dash with her friends. He walked along and noticed Sunset Shimmer was sitting near the back but almost alone. She could see Scootaloo was at the table as well with a couple of friends. Light Shock walked over as he grabbed his sandwich and Mountain Dew he had packed.

"Hey Light Shock what are you doing here the Rockers are to the left." said Sunset Shimmer

"Well I guess I can sit with you and talk about our plans tomorrow for practice"

Scootaloo stopped talking to her friends and veered over to Light Shock to join in on the conversation.

"Hey Light, this is Applebloom and Sweetie Belle." said Scootaloo

"Hey I'm Light Shock as you likely already know but I couldn't find anywhere else to sit but here."

As Light Shock remembered what he wanted to ask about Twilights band he wondered if now was the time. He thought that maybe something had gone on between Sunset and Twilight causing them to split up.

"Hey Sunset what exactly went on between you and Twilight." asked Light Shock.

"Well it wasn't just her and her friends I used to be enemies with but at one point or for a couple of years I should say I was terrorizing the entire school sending them in a state of fear."

"Now I don't see anyone wanting to be my friend but Twilight and her friends showed me forgiveness and after the music competition I showed them that I could play so Rainbow Dash took me in as her apprentice."

Light Shock was intrigued and curious for details on the events and why it was Twilight who ended her reign of terror around the school as Sunset explained how Twilight came out of almost nowhere and denounced her monarch reign.

"Well I myself just transferred here a few months ago and I'm honestly not that amazed that few people talk about these events since they must have been dark times for the school.

"Look Light Shock I'll give you my number I don't want to talk about much more now" replied Sunset

As lunch came to an end Light Shock was now wondering what Sunset Shimmer didn't want to tell him and if there might be more to this than he knows even after the revelations worth of information that came out of Sunset Shimmer.

Light Shock was back at the guitar shop and the owner was becoming impatient again as talks of the mall closing were circulating around.

"Damnt, for such a formerly great location I don't see anyone here, it's like I live in an empty wasteland." ranted Light Shock's boss

Light Shock was behind the desk again looking at some old magazines and a memo from the mall owner about filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. He was the second owner to file for such a title as the mall always seemed to struggle yet stay open since the holding group always seemed to have money to shell out. It was just then when a hint of inspiration his Light Shock. He thought that since the mall was so dim and seemed like a ghost town maybe he could call Sunset Shimmer and convince her to come to the mall to talk. They would talk by the almost empty food court on the first floor of the mall close to the old theater.

Light Shock waited for his shift to end before walking down to the food court to check if anyone was near. The place was pitch black but luckily the lights still worked as he was still able to see all the worn down and abandoned restaurant serving stations. The only place still hanging on was Ben's Grille which was on it's last leg. Luckily Ben was gone and now Light Shock was left with only one task which was convincing Sunset to meet him at the mall so they could talk.
