Let's get this Show on the Road
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDawn of A New Day
Already out of his house and without further ado, only his backpack and sights on Canterlot High, he walked down in the peaceful streets of Canterlot City.
Matt noticed how friendly are the habitants of the city. For Matt it is not surprising, the people of Freshwind are also the same. But he remembered that not all the people are friendly. Rainbow Dash was the first one he met in this city.
"Even if we are not the same I hope everything goes well." Matt said as he continued walking.
Matt cheked on his Watch Phone and then spoke, "6:15 a.m. It is still too early morning so there's still time."
Canterlot High.
Just one week have passed since the finals of The Battle of the Bands and everything went back to normal. In case you never knew what happened, with great pleasure I shall explain.
The Battle of the Bands was in truth a evil scheme orchestrated by Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze, better known as The Dazzlings. The goal of this scheme consisted of pitting against each other the entire student body of Canterlot High convincing the students to turn the friendly Musical Showcase into a.... Oh, well, you know The Battle of the Bands and everyone started to hate each other. But do not fear The Dazzlings plan were foiled by a modest (maybe) band who believes in friendship: The Rainbooms. Conformed by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer
The Dazzlings were not humans but rather mythological creatures from Equestria known as Sirens whose special ability consisted of feed on negative feelings of many living beings to control others using three red magical pendants through their beatiful yet manipulative singing. Ponies were one of them and most recently Humans. But the legendary magician of Equestria, Starswirl the Bearded defeated the Sirens and vanished them from Equestria forever.
Like I said before the students hated each other during the competition but after the crushing defeat of The Dazzlings at The Battle of the Bands, they started to apologize each other also they wanted to apologize for their behavior at The Rainbooms.
Currently, nobody knows the Sirens current whereabouts, many believe that they are currently plannng revenge on The Rainbooms. The answer is veiled in mystery...
At the entrance of the school there were many students ready to start another day in Canterlot High. But no one ever thought that for someone this is only the beggining. A very big beggining...
"Hmm... It looked more better in my mind." A voice said.
The source of the voice came from a tennager but this is one is from the new blood of Canterlot High.
The tennager has a brown skater high hairstyle and believe or not he has complete heterochromia, the left eye is light blue and the right eye is green. He is wearing a gold and black long sleeve double layer t-shirt with a tribal symbol on the back, accompanied with dark blue denim shorts which reaches to the knee and upere wedge black and white sneakers.
"Well it doesn't matter." Then he though with a worrying expression, 'I hope so.' With no more words he entered the privileged building before anyone does.
"Phew! Finally I'm here."
Matt arrived at Canterlot High with full of energy. "Whoa!" Matt watched in awe at the building.
'Ok Matt don't be nervous this always happen in first's day of school.'
"Um... E... Excuse me?" Matt heard a soft voice from behind and turned around.
"Erm... I'm not sure about it. Sorry." Matt politely declined.
"Oh... It's okay. Sorry to bother you." The girl quietly responded with watery eyes.
When Matt saw the tears flowing from her on the girl face, his formed into a ashamed look.
"Whoa! Take it easy gal. There's no reason to cry." Matt consoled the girl putting a hand on her shoulder. Until...
"Hey!!" The blue haired teenager heard a familiar voice and it sounded angry, causing him and Fluttershy let a squeak. Brace yourself Matt.
It was Rainbow Dash who in a cold voice demanded, "What... The heck... Are you... Doing... To Fluttershy."
He was nervous. "Um... I can expl-" But he was interrupted.
"Get your hands off my friend!" Rainbow eyes were raging with fiery fire as Fluttershy nervously watched in confusion.
"Um... Rainbow i-if you don't mind," Fluttershy asked timidly. "Do you know him?"
Rainbow turned at her childhood friend, and then at Matt. There was a brief silence between the three.
Now Matt was a little scared. 'Oh man! It's her again. Wait a moment! This is my opportunity to prove her that I'm a good hearted person. This is it! Don't Hesitate.'
He cleared his throat, "Rainbow Dash." Matt said in a gently voice and continued. "We may started with the left foot, but I must say..."
Unfortunately the school bell rang.
"Oh no! I must hurry!" Fluttershy exclaimed in panic. "Sorry Rainbow, sorry New Guy but i'm being late! Good bye!" And with a rush she left the two alone.
Again there was a silence and Rainbow Dash glanced coldly at Matt who had a worrying expression and the rainbow haired girl began to walk towards the school hall.
"This is going to be a long day." He murmured.
Principal's Office.
Matt was sitting in front of the Principal's desk there stood a young woman with a pink, light green and colbat hair. Guess what, is the Principal.
"Well this is quite an interesting academic history Matt Lowell." The Principal who's name is Celestia said while seeing in a document Matt's grades in the Freshwind Institute.
"I shouldn't call it interesting." He replied in a modest manner.
"Well Matt without further ado. Welcome to Canterlot High, this is your schedule." Celestia confirmed Matt official status as she handed the schedule to him.
"Thanks Principal Celestia."
"You're welcome."
Afterwards our blue haired friend left the office and began walking towards the right classroom of the first period, but he bumped (again) into another teenager making him fall.
"Whoa! Sorry dude." Matt apologized.
"No, it was me, I should pay more attention where I walk." the other teenager apologized. But this one like the other is new blood.
The new blood student has a black long layered haircut. He was wearing a denim midnight blue long sleeve jacket jacket with a kanji letter on the back, worn open over a black t-shirt. The lower part consist of grey denim pants, and black and blue high top sneakers. Additionally he wears black fingerless gloves with cyan borders.
"Um I will be late for class, see ya." Matt continued his way towards the classroom leaving the other teenager alone. "Yeah you too," the teenager replied in kind, but the Crusader had already gone.
The school was huge, nevertheless he was able to find the correct classroom. He looked up and saw the room number he was searching.
3302
"Ok, here we go."
Three hours later...
It's lunch time and all the students were in the cafeteria getting their meal. At one table there was a group of girls that had earned a interesting reputation for saving the school. They are The Rainbooms.
The Rainbooms were enjoying their meal, as Rainbow Dash explained what happened today. "So that's how it happened, what do you gals think about him?"
"Um... Rainbow? I think you got him wrong," Fluttershy shyly replied. "He didn't do anything bad to me."
"I agree with Fluttershy, besides his hair must be very stylish and extravagant and it appears to know how to be a gentleman." Rarity Belle, the fashionista, commented.
"Yeah, maybe I just overreacted." Rainbow said. "All this stuff about last week is making me nervous."
"Speaking of the new guy, where's him?" Applejack, the apple farmer, asked.
Pinkie Pie, the party planner, let a panicked gasp. "And I haven't had the chance to greet him! Where is he!?"
Sunset Shimmer, the former unicorn, acknowledged Pinkie and Applejack words. "Well, now that you mention it, he's not here."
Rarity began to look into the distance of the cafeteria searchingly for our blue haired friend. "Maybe you're right," then she turned to Fluttershy. "Darling, can you describe how does he look like?"
Fluttershy nodded and began to explain his appearance until she finished.
"...and that's it," then she turned to Rainbow. "Um, if you don't mind, do you know his name?"
"Yeah, Matt Lowell, I believe he's not from here." Rainbow responded.
"And what are we waiting for. Let's throw him a welcome party! But first we must find him." Pinkie suggested with excitement.
The rest of the Rainbooms agreed with Pinkie's idea. I wonder what will happen next?
A few moments later...
So far, things are going well for Matt Lowell. Matt was standing on the edge of the soccer field, the cafeteria was full of friendly students but he didn't want to make friends, he would rather be an intruder. 'I'd prefer to be alone, I don't want to make enemies.' Matt thought to himself. The sun was shining brightly and there's no clouds in the sky. So peaceful.
Suddenly, Matt spotted six girls walking through the soccer field, he recognized at least two of them. 'That's Rainbow and the shy girl! I suppose that the rest of those girls are also their friends, they seem very close and...' Just then, Matt noticed something strange, 'Wait a moment... they're walking up to me? No, I doubt it.'
Matt continued to stare up at the sky as he scratched the back of his hair. The blue sky reminded of his hometown, as well the sweet scent of the high school and the city itself. Just when he was about to leave, someone tacked him from behind to the... Oh, wait a moment. Matt is unfazed by the sudden tackle!
"Huh?" He looked back to see a pink girl sitting down with stars flying around her head, probably from the impact when she tried to tackle him.
"Sitting, sitting. Bleeding." The pink girl weakly replied before losing consciousness.
"Whoa! Are you alright?" Matt asked with concern.
"Oh my gosh!! Pinkie!!!" A soft familiar voice cried with concern.
"What in tarnation!?" A female voice with a southern accent exclaimed.
Matt looked up to see the six girls staring at him and the pink girl in shock. 'Drat...'
Now, Matt was feeling bad. Really bad. He knew that if he tried to help their friend, they would refuse and lash him out.
Suddenly, Pinkie kip-ups to her feet.
"Ouch!" Pinkie groaned in pain as she rubbed her head. In an instant, Pinkie's face folded into a big smile like nothing happened. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, your hair looks awesome. Tell me, do you exercise every day? Cuz' your body feels like a stone, and yet my family works in a rock farm. I'm very sure we can be bes-" However... Matt has left already.
Sunset was the first to talk, "Well, that was strange."
"Or maybe, he is just shy." Applejack commented.
As for Rainbow Dash, only two things about the blue haired guy came into her mind while she crossed her arms. 'Dumb and twerp.'
Another three hours later...
School day has ended and everyone is ready to go home. Matt Lowell walked down through the streets of Canterlot, he began reflecting about what happened earlier, the six girls and the rainbow haired girl. Every time he thinks of Rainbow, he gets butterflies in his stomach. He had to admit it, he has a crush on Rainbow Dash.
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the noise of someone crying and at the same time, he felt a weak energy which he never thought it would be here. Right in this place... or rather in this world.
Matt couldn't believe it.
Without any hesitation, he started to walk towards the source of the melancholic noise. "Hello, Somebody here?" Matt softly spoke.
The only answer he receives is more crying. Slowly, the crusader started to approach only to find a blue haired girl, just like him. She was wearing a purple hoodie and blue jeans and apparently, a little torn up. The blue haired girl was the source of the crying.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Matt genty asked.
The blue girl looks up to see Matt, standing right in front of him. "Please don't hurt me." The girl said between sobs.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Matt gently said.
"H-Hey, who are you?" The girl asked.
Matt's face folded into a smile, "I'm Matt Lowell. What's your name?"
"Sonata. Sonata Dusk." The girl softly responded.
Matt only smiled at the girl name. "Tell me, are you... a Siren?"
Sonata let a panicked gasp and she started to shake like a leaf. "H-How d-do yo-you know?" She asked nervously.
"Relax, I know what you feel." Matt calmly said and then from his backpack pulled a sandwich with orange beverage. "Are you hungry?"
"Um... why are you helping me?" Sonata asked nervously. "You know who I really am. I caused a lot of problems with..."
"Because you have a good heart, Sonata." Matt said before leaving and giving her a handshake.
"Thank you..." Sonata said as she started eating her sandwich.
"No problemo."
