The study hall

"OHHH sweet dude! I thought I'd never see these puppies again!" Vinyl Scratch happily shouted as Peter handed back her fifty dollar Bass blaster headphones. She took them and placed them on her head and bounced her head to an imaginary beat, that most likely wouldn't be imaginary for long. It was Study hall for her and few others a.k.a free period before lunch and afternoon free time, though officially they still couldn't have non educational personal item out on campus.

"Hey Vinyl, before you make it impossible to hear me," he asked her quickly. "Would you like too borrow some of my comics to read, I'm running a bit lite on the selection though." Peter said as he opened the box; indeed, there where noticeably fewer books then we he first came in to school, the stack had shifted to a few couple copies and some manga digests at the front.

"I...don't really read comics to be honest, Too much history and all the stories that go on and on." Vinyl said shuffling through the few remaining issues.

"I think I can help you there Viy," Peter said flipping to a issue labeled Marvel Adventures; the book was a double sided flip book, a Fantastic Four story on one cover and a Spider-Man story upside down on the opposite. "See this print; Marvel Adventures, while initially meant as a family and kid friendly series of self contained stories that are based on the older stories from like the Sixties, they are actually great for new readers. They tell the story in a single issue; there's no need to worry about continuity, and if you like it then there's no need to worry about the rest of the story across other issues." He handed the book to Vinyl, she took it smiling at as she opened it up.

"Hey this looks pretty cool think I'll check it out..heh funny, this Peter Parker in this book," she said reading. "He kinda reminds me of you Pete." She held the pages up side by side to the Peter Parker and the Peter in real life.

"Oh I don't know about that Viy...unlike that Peter there are still people who actually like me." He said rubbing the back of his head and chuckling, if his life was an anime the nervous sweat would be on his head then and there.

"What do you mean?" She asked giving a puzzled look closing the book and tucking it away in her bag, as per the advice from him regarding Principal Celestia's little rough patch.

"It's a long, and very messed up story Vinyl." Peter said putting the lid back on his long box. Vinyl only shrugged and packed up her stuff for lunch. As she passed him; just before she hit play on her music, since lunch as a time the alumni where allowed to use things like them, she whispered in his ear, the second time that day a girl did that but better than the first.

"You're a sweet guy Pete, don't ever change and don't let anyone ever say nice guys finish last to you." The dub-step loving DJ girl said as she walked off for lunch, she made a quick turn and kissed him right on his cheek not far from where Rarity had done so a few hours ago. Vinyl Giggled softly and playfully lowered her shades showing him her red eyes with a playful feminine flutter of her eyes. "Catch you on the flip-side dude."

Peter was tempted to say 'The 90's called they want their slang back but he only said ' "You too cutie." softly as a tiny squeak. Neither of them saw the Boy in a Black dress shirt and shorts with a white tie and purple star on his white armband and necklace with an equal sign made from cut onyx around his neck. He took notes on a clip board with a deep in thought...Hmmmm.

The Library

Snips and Snails sat at the computer screen in the library, the speakers set as low as possible, not to make sure they didn't disturb anyone but rather because they where watching something on the school comps they technically shouldn't have been. "I do not sound like Bling Bling Boy!" He snapped at Snails after he chuckled and pointed that out to him, on the monitor was an episode of the highly hated, but yet still somehow long running show Johnny Test. In it; Johnny and Eugine A.K.A "Bling-Bling Boy" where fighting as kindergarteners due to an age ray.

"Oh come one," Snails rebutted with a chuckle. "You totally sound dead on to him, the same whinny and bratty tone and a voice that sounds like a baby crying for a bottle..haha."

"Oh Shut up! like your voice is any better."

"That cute girl Sonata Dusk girl at the battle liked it."

"Only because she's on the same brain level as you.''

"Hey fellas, isn't watching cartoons on the school computers against the rules?" A voice said behind them both making both boys freeze up cold and turn around to see Peter behind them. "Heh relax fellas I'm not here to bust you, hell I'm her to return something to you both." He said placing the Tin of Pokemon cards down the desk in front of the desk.

"Our Starter decks! I thought I'd never see these again." Snails said happily popping the tin open and checking to make sure all his cards where there. "Sweet! my limited addition Arcticuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia are still here." He said happily their eyes lighting up with delight.

"Watching Johnny Test?" Peter asked leaning over and looking at their monitor. They nodded too wrapped up in their reunion with their cards to answer. "You know, a lot of people my age hate this show...why do you guys like it?'' He asked clicking the suggested episode.

"Heck I didn't know people didn't like it." Was all Snails could say.

"Well it's true...but to each his own I guess, shame that saying is dead in age where something can literally be buried under bad press from just one persons negativity." Look at The Lone Ranger movie from a while back, it was a killer to make on everybody involved but all their hard work was all for nothing because both major and minor social media hated it and talked about how bad it was...boys? he asked but they where both still in the middle of a pocket monster battle. "Hey if you think Snips sounds like Bling Bling Boy, That Trixie girl that goes here sound like Johnny's mom." He said opening a clip of Mrs. test and she talked, all three noticed right away.

"Oh that's the "Great and powerful" Trixie to a tee." Snails said before both boys broke out into laughter, none of them noticed the blue girl in a witches hat behind them until she cleared her throat and folded her arms across her chest, tapped her foot and glared at them. They turned around and chuckled nervously.

"You're all lucky Trixie had a good Extended weekend up at lake Parthenope,* or she'd be mad enough to make you sorry you compared her to a second rate hack written cartoon character." She said walking off in a huff.

"Trixie wait I didn't mean it like that come back!" Peter called after her with his long box underarm leaving Snips and Snails to their cartoons. No one present noticed The Girl in a Black Skirt and Shirt with a purple star armband, and onyx equal sign on silver pendent on her neck, or the clipboard in her hands.

"Students abuse computer privileges to watch non educational material during..." It was lunch so they weren't in the wrong, but why not "conveniently forget" that part right? "Class time." She said chuckling to herself as she tapped the dot on her document and signed it with a sinister chuckle in her throat.
