Well that went well. Beaten up by a girl. What's going on. Where am I. Darkness. I found myself surrounded by darkness. It surrounds me all over, like a blanket. Pitch black. What's happening I...I think I'm slowly beginning to regain consciousness. The darkness is turning into blurred vision. Where am I. Wait, I...I can hear some one.

"Is he okay?"

"How awful."

"Aria did this...Well, I'm not surprised."

"Ha-Ha! Serves him right."

"Rainbow Dash!"

I had fully regained my vision and was conscious. It was Rainbow Dash, my friend Derpy, and two other girls. One girl pink hair and green eyes wearing a green dress bottom and white tank top. The other was a blonde and wore a cowgirl hat and boots, with farm-like attire. As I slowly picked myself up, Derpy leaned and help me sit straight.

"Ow man. W-Were am I?"

"You're in the nurses office." said the pink haired girl. "You were hit pretty hard."

"So the Coach sent ya' here." said the girl in the cowgirl hat.

Derpy shook her head. "I still can't believe she did that to you." she said, "What did you even tell her?"

"Who did what to me now? Tell who what? Huh??"

"Aria." said Derpy, "She punched you on the chest and then threw a dodge ball at you."

"Mm-Hmm, that gal sure loves pounding people." said the girl in the cowboy hat. "Ya'll right sugar?" she asked.

"Uh, Y-yes, I...I think I am...Ah, I...it surprisingly doesn't hurt."

"Surprised you were able to take a hit like that and survive." said Rainbow Dash.

At that point the nurse walked up to me. "Oh, good you're up." she said, "How do you feel?"

"Uh? Never been better." I replied.

"Good to hear. Well then Arron, you're free to go." she said.

I slowly got up from the bed and slowly applied pressure to one foot. So far so good. I slowly stood on my other foot, slowly applying pressure onto it. With a little wobble, I then stood up straight, and was back on my own two feet. Derpy helped me out of the nurses office as the blonde girl and pink haired girl opened the office door for us. We were now outside of the office. I asked Derpy what had happened.

"Hey, Derpy? What happened?"

"I really don't know." she said, "All I know is that you decided to talks to Aria, and the next thing I knew, you were kicked to the curb."

"More like ass handed to you on a silver plate." said Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash." said the girl with pink hair angrily. "I'm so sorry." she said apologetically, "She's not usually like that. I'm Fluttershy by the way."

"And I'm Applejack." said the blonde girl in the cowgirl.

"Applejack? You mean like the-- "

"Yes!" she said interrupting, "Like the drink. Its been done before, it's no longer funny."

"I see. Well then, how long was I in the nurses?"

"Nearly all day." said Derpy, school ends in 4 minutes."

"4 MINUTES!?" I exclaimed.

"Eeyup." said Applejack. "Here, we brought you your back pack and the assignments you missed."

Applejack handed me a folder of paper, and my back pack. I thanked her and decided it be best to go home early. Derpy decided to walk with, so I wouldn't have to go home alone. I said good bye to Applejack and Fluttershy, and went off. Time to go home. The only place where I'm not smacked with a dodged balls or hit in the chest. As I was walking down with Derpy, we got to talking.

"So, how was school?" she asked.

"You were there, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Well, can't blame for asking."

"I guess not. So, where is your house?" I asked.

"Just around the corner. And yours?"

"Another 2 blocks ahead. Hey, Derpy, this Aria Blaze character...does she...does she have any friends?"

Derpy paused for a moment. The she slowly turned to me with a scared look. "Don't tell me you still want to be friends with...HER" she said in disgust.

"Yeah, I kind of do."

"Arron, she hit and the threw a dodge ball at your face!" she reminded.

"I know but, I...well, I don't really...care. I mean, there's just...something about her."

"Listen Arron, don't get involved. Pleas, just don't." Derpy insisted. "I don't want you to start getting involved with bad people...Anyway, there's my house. I got to get going. See around." she said, waving good bye. I waved back and smiled. As I turned around and started walking home, I could help but think about what she was saying. "Don' get involved."

"Don't get involved?" I repeated to myself. "Don't get involved with bad people. Bad people, eh Derpy?" I wasn't convinced about that. I don't think Aria is a bad girl. She's just defiant to accept that she likes me. Besides, I was going to make peace with her if it's the last thing I do...

Author's Note

This was a pretty short chapter because I'm both running late on other stories I'm writing and I'm getting board with all this boring beginning stuff and want to get to the parts about sexy. So in the next chapter, I'll start getting into detail on how Aria and Arron decide to start their "Friendship".
