Equestria High

It was 7:00 in the morning at a quiet little street called Magic Drive. Twilight Amethyst Sparkle, a soon to be senior, blinked spots out of her eyes, got out of bed, and walked over to the mirror. Her hair was a mess. She took her brush, brushed her hair, and smiled. She was 17 with sapphire hair with purple and pink streaks, purple eyes, she was also 5"7 and the smartest girl in school. She soon begun to dress herself, putting on her favorite blue blouse and purple skirt with a big star and six little stars around it. She slipped on her socks, then her knee high boots. A pink ribbon was tied on her blouse. A knock came from her bedroom door. Her mother, Twilight Velvet, walked in. "New year." She sighed, smiling.

  "I know, it's so exciting! I just hope that I'm in the advanced classes this year." Twilight admitted, a bit sheepish. Velvet hugged her daughter.

  "Sunset's waiting for you outside, I told her that you both could walk to school, is everything ready?" Velvet asked, looking around Twilight's room. Twilight nodded and slipped on her favorite purple hand bag. She hugged Velvet and headed outside, with Sunset Shimmer waiting for her. Ever since Sunset and her became friends, Sunset now wore a green t-shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers, but still wore her favorite black jacket. Sunset was also 17, same height as Twilight, had red, orange, and yellow hair, like fire. Her eyes were an emerald green.

  "Ready Twilight?" Sunset asked. Twilight nodded, and walked off to school with Sunset. As they were, a car horn beeped in the distance. Twilight and Sunset groaned, for they knew who was driving. Gilda Hawthorn and Lightning Dust. The two teens were also 17, but Gilda had a nose piercing and and always had a bad attitude. Lightning Dust was the same way, and she always kept her amber hair short. Lightning had amber eyes, a green shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and her ears were pierced with tiny lightning bolt earrings. Gilda had brown eyes, auburn hair, a fur jacket, white shirt, black jeans, and black combat boots. Both of them were laughing. Gilda had a cigarette in her mouth. The both of them were bad about that.

  "Hey! Sparkle! Why don't you dump that loser and hitch a ride to school with us?" Lightning asked, snickering. Twilight rolled her eyes with Sunset.

  "No Lightning, I don't think I will. Sunset Shimmer is my friend, and I am perfectly fine walking to school with her." Twilight said assertively. Gilda and Lightning Dust seemed taken back by this.

  "Seriously? You're friends with that bitch? After all she's done?" Gilda asked, raising an eyebrow. Twilight groaned.

  "Me and the girls forgave Sunset for what she's done, now all of us are friends, and unlike you, we all have very good grades in school, now leave us alone before we get to the school and I get Professor Discord to handle this." Twilight threatened. Gilda and Lightning Dust shuddered. The last time they got in trouble with Professor Discord, it did not turn out well. Lightning Dust accelerated on the gas and the two drove off.

  "Wow Twilight," Sunset whistled in appreciation, "I had not idea you'd be able to handle those two." She said. Twilight smiled.

  "Oh you learn a thing or two from Rainbow Dash." The two girls smiled, and raced each other to the school. Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were waiting for them. Rainbow walked over to them.

  "Heard you had a run-in with Gilda and Lightning." She said. Twilight and Sunset nodded.

  "Twilight actually managed it pretty well." Sunset said. Rainbow Dash's expression on her face did all the talking for her. Twilight nodded.

  "All it took was standing up for Sunset, and maybe a little threat." Twilight winked. The other girls laughed, and walked into the school, ready to begin the new year.
