Mane 6 in highschool, eeyup

There is really no back story to this one.
An alternate universe where Celestia sends Twilight to Ponyville a lot earlier in her life, so she has to attend the local highschool. Not everypony knows that she came from Celestia's School for the Magically Gifted (CSMG) but those who do give rather mixed results. Gonna be pretty slice-of-life-y and it's not very serious, just an idea I wanted to get out.
Because this has never been done before, right?

I do NOT own MLP or FiM or anything else that Hasbro or Studio B owns, the only thing I own is this story, not even the characters in it, mkay?

Ponyville High

--Chapter 1--
A1: Familiar Territory

"Hm... quite the chariot ride, but I'm here now!" said Twilight as she stepped out of the decorated golden chariot and analyzed the name plate, "Ponyville High, eh? Definitely smaller than CSMG, but the students here are probably closer together. The only thing I don't understand is, why would Celestia send me to a school that doesn't specialize in magic, or anything for that matter?" she thought as she checked the time, "Omigosh! I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry!" Twilight ran down the hallway, subsequently levitating her schedule and almost bumping into several other ponies at the same time. Arriving at her destination, she double checked her schedule, "Let's see... Applied Magic 10... room 308... yep, this is the place!" Twilight said as she walked in the room, which was much less crowded than she anticipated. The few other ponies in the room looked at her for a moment before returning to their own endeavors; some chatting, others frantically attempting to finish their homework last minute. At this point, Twilight checked the time again, "7:37... and class starts at... 7:45." She laughed to herself, "I guess I wasn't as late as I thought."

The teacher, a deep blue unicorn sitting at a larger desk in a corner of the room, noticed the lavender unicorn in the front of the classroom and turned towards her, "Hm? Oh, right! I forgot I was getting a new student today!" she said as she turned back to her seating chart, "Um... just sit where ever, don't worry about anything."

"Oh, thank you Miss..." Twilight said right when she realized she didn't know any of the teachers in this school.

"Phenn." She laughed, "Call me Ms. Phenn." The unicorn pulled out some papers out of a grey shelf, "Oh, and before you sit, here's the drill packet and syllabus for this year."

"Thank you, Ms. Phenn." Twilight said as she levitated the packets into her saddlebags and moved to her seat, near the center but closer to the front door as well, the seat was also pretty far away from the other unicorns that looked like gossipers, Twilight was never very social, but she still studied the actions of the other students at her old school when she could, and could recognize trouble when she saw it. Later on, when class was about to start and other ponies began to flood into the room, one in particular had been called over by the teacher as soon as he walked in. Twilight tried not to stare straight at him so as not to be rude, but did notice that the teacher said something to him, to which he just shrugged and walked to what may or may not have been his seat. Twilight didn't pay much attention to the ponies that she sat next to, but one of them, a powder white unicorn with a perfectly style violet mane, leaned over to her after they both finished their drills.

"Are you new here?" The other unicorn asked, "Either way, thank you for taking that seat, you have no idea how irritating that other colt was! Oh, where are my manners! My name is Rarity, and yours?"

Twilight looked up half interested at her companion, "Hm? Oh, I'm Twilight Sparkle. And yes, I just transferred here today."

"Tell me Twilight, where did you transfer from? Because the weather there did not treat your mane very well!" Rarity said as she levitated a rather elaborate brush out from her saddlebag, "Here, I just bought it so don't worry about it being used, think of it as a welcome gift. No offense, but I think you need it more than I do." She laughed lightly, but from the look on her face Twilight could tell this brush meant something to her, and she was forcing herself to part with it.

"T-thank you, Rarity..." Twilight said after being at a loss for words for a few seconds. No one ever welcomed her at CSMG, nonetheless gotten her a gift! She didn't know what else to say, so she hastily levitated the brush into her bag and looked back to her packet.

There was an awkward silence, so Rarity tried to spark a conversation again, "I really don't think it's fair that only unicorns get to learn about magic, wouldn't you agree?" she said, hoping an intelligent matter would pique her new friend's interest.

"What?" Twilight said, "Isn't that what Magic Theory is for?" she asked, Rarity simply gasped.

"Magic Theory? Our school doesn't teach that, what school did you say you transferred from again?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, I came here from CSMG!" Twilight said, oblivious to Rarity's twitch, "It's a nice school and all, but I would get lost in there every now and then, I mean that school was BIG. Heck, voluminous would be an understatement!" Twilight ranted on for a little bit, and when she was finished, Rarity just sat there gaping in awe.

"Did you say, CSMG?"

"Yup!"

"As in, THE CSMG?"

"I don't think there's any other, but if there is, I'm refering to Celestia's School for the Magically Gifted."

Rarity almost fainted, "Darling, we DEFINITELY need to talk some more later."

Right when Twilight was going to ask why Rarity said 'later', she noticed Rarity was facing the front of the room, towards the teacher, who said "Alright class! Let's get started on the drill, who wants to go over question one?" Twilight noticed that she was getting all the answers correct, so she took the extra time to comb her mane, a smile on her face the whole time.

"Well, glad to see you're finally finished!" Twilight laughed after Rarity put down her pen. Throughout the class Twilight & Rarity had been helping each other with their classwork, and had become rather comfortable talking with one another.

"You don't possibly expect me to finish as fast as you, do you?" Rarity asked jokingly, levitating her packet to a green bin near the front of the room.

"Oh come on, you're pretty bright, Rarity! You seem to know what you're doing." Twilight continued, "You finish faster than the other students too-"

Rarity cut her off, "Not as fast as the mare from Canterlot!" she giggled, then she saw the look on Twilight's face, and sighed, "Oh Twilight, you know that's not how I see you!"

Twilight sighed, "I know, and I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that, I apologize."

"No need for apologies!" Rarity said, relieved, "Right now all we need to worry about is finishing that little chat of ours-"

And then the bell rang. "That's it for today, guys! Remember, if you didn't finish that vocab packet, it's homework!" Ms. Phenn said cheerfully as all the other unicorns rushed out the room, all except Twilight & Rarity, who still needed to pack their things.

Rarity sighed, "I guess it'll have to wait until we meet again."

"I guess so." Twilight laughed a little as she looked around the room, "I think it's safe to assume that first period doesn't serve as homeroom?"

"I'm sure that's the case for somepony." Rarity said, "Just not for all. Now, we really should get going!"

"Right..."

A2: What Kind Of Teacher Is This?

"Let's see here, period 2..." Twilight said, staring once again at her schedule, "IMP? What's IMP? Whatever... room 105... here we are!" Twilight arrived to a classroom on the first floor, close to the main entrance, but the room number plate is scratched and worn, as if it had been shot out of a cannon. Multiple times. Twilight stared at this, concerned, but walked into the classroom nonetheless. The classroom, very contrasting to the nameplate, looked rather well kept and organized. She took a look at everything for a good moment before a voice shot out to her. The weird part was, everypony seemed to know the voice was aimed directly at her without even having to look.

"Unknown occupant." Said a casual, almost cynical voice, "If you're a student, identify yourself. If you're a student teacher, brown nosing will get you nowhere. If you aren't supposed to be here, you have about 5 seconds to run before I brain-toss your ass out."

Twilight stood there confused for a few seconds. It wasn't until the teacher's horn started to glow that she stammered, "W-w-wait! I'm a student, I'm a student!"

The teacher sighed, "Does this student have a name?"

"Uh, Twilight Sparkle?"

The teacher laughed, "Well, I'm gonna assume you know what your name is, so I'll just call you Twilight." He levitated a marker and walked to the whiteboard, "As for me, the name's Nari." He started spinning the marker, "The last name is, at least." He tossed the marker into the trash bin.

"What...?" Twilight said, befuddled, "Why did you throw away that marker?"

Mr. Nari turned around, a completely lost look on his face, "Why not? It was empty."

"But you didn't even check!" Twilight challenged, Mr. Nari simply laughed.

"Yeah, I kinda did, and it was empty." He walked back to his computer, "Now, let me ask YOU a question." Twilight looked worried at this point, "Can you remind me why I told you my name?"

"Because I'm new here, right?" Twilight said, lacking a certain confidence.

"Partially." The teacher said condescendingly, "I told you as a formality, because we've never met before. The fact that you're new here doesn't fully justify because we could've met prior to you changing schools. Saying 'you're new here' is simply making an implication." Twilight felt something. She was becoming agitated from his lecture, even though everything he said was valid. "I didn't NEED to tell you my name personally, I was simply being polite, check your schedule closely."

He calls THAT being polite? Twilight thought to herself as she checked all over her schedule, and to her surprise, she found the names of all the teachers she had across from their respective classes. "How did I not see this earlier? Wait..."

"Something I can help with?" Mr. Nari asked, clicking away at his computer, probably playing something while the other students were already off and doing their drills.

"It says your name twice on this schedule, is this my completer class?" Twilight asked confused and, hopefully the teacher can't tell on this one, worried beyond belief.

"Nah, that's probably just my sis." Mr. Nari said.

Twilight's heart skipped a beat, He has a SISTER? Oh sweet Celestia I hope they're opposites. she thought.

"Yeah, if you haven't had her class already, you probably have her fourth period, she teaches-"

*CRASH*

Right before he could finish, a hoofball busted right through one of the windows, gliding just past the teacher's laptop, and bounced into the corner of the room. "...Gym." He said. And Twilight's heart absolutely sank as he walked towards the broken window, "Limit! What the buck was that!? I thought you were supposed to teach those kids how to AIM!" he bellowed.

"Just teleport the ball back already!" a powerful sounding mare voice yelled back.

"Are you buckin' kidding me!? You broke my window and almost hit my laptop! Get the damn thing yourself!" Mr. Nari yelled.

Afterwards, there was a purple flash, which shortly afterwards turned into a periwinkle-ish mare punching Mr. Nari in the shoulder, "Almost? Ugh, I need practice! Oh, and you need to stop cussing so damn much!" she laughed as she took the hoofball and walked back towards the window. "It's unbecoming of a teacher!" she said in a mocking tone right before she teleported back to her class.

"Ugh... ridiculous..." he said, rubbing where he got hit, "But right, you need a seat, don't you?" Twilight simply shifted awkwardly as he looked around, right before he spotted the before unnoticed Rarity waving her hoof, "Well, it looks like you two have already been acquainted? There IS an empty seat next to her, so go ahead and take a seat there."

Twilight ran to her seat next to Rarity and quickly unpacked everything she needed, or thought she would need, "Well, lucky running into you again so soon!" Twilight said, "Maybe this class will go better than I thought it would!"

"What, is it Mr. Nari?" Rarity asked, "I know he can be a bit... much, but he's actually a rather nice stallion once you get to know him."

Right when she said that, a certain rainbow maned pegasus flew up to the doorway, "Yo, Blaze! How's it hangin'?"

"Meh, new girl, broken window, the usual." The teacher said, relaxed.

"Yikes. All in one day?" RD asked.

"All in 10 minutes." Blaze laughed, "And get this: That new girl is a unicorn, but when I checked the marker, she was all like 'whaaa?'" he laughed some more.

"I dunno, I still don't get your magic, dude." RD said, confused.

Blaze turned back to Rainbow Dash, "Yeah, but you're a pegasus. I doubt ANY non-unicorn understands how I do magic." He said, "But anyways, are you 'going to the bathroom' or did you just get lazy and skip class?" Blaze asked jokingly.

"Actually, I'm makin' my way to the nurse's office this time." RD said.

"Anything serious?" Blaze asked.

"Nah, I just messed up my hoof teachin' some idiots a lesson." Dash said as she cracked her hoof a few times, the last time being a little louder than the others, causing RD to wince a bit, "Gah! Right, like I said, need to get going!" she said before she ran out of the room.

"See ya! And take it easy on those colts! They're dumb enough as is!" Blaze laughed, and then turned back to the class, "Welp, time to check on those drills!"

Twilight turned back to Rarity, "I can tell." They both laughed a little before Twilight turned back to her work, "Hm... ah, here it is. 'Intermedia Productions? Well I can see this class will definitely be... different..."

Ponyville High

--Chapter 2--
A1.5: Homeroom

"Hmm... that was an interesting class..." Twilight thought to herself. "The students here are certainly different than back home..." no one had ever given Twilight a gift like that for seemingly no reason. Hell, no one even welcomed her to CSMG aside from Celestia. Twilight had few, if any, friends back at her old school, so she wasn't exactly a social butterfly. But Rarity seemed so easy to talk to, like the conversation all came naturally. Is this what real friendship was like? "Maybe that's how some people can get so caught up in talking to someone and miss work." She thought as she looked around the room. Rarity certainly wasn't here, but there were 2 ponies that seemed out of place: one almost seemed scared to talk, while the other one looked simply uninterested in the rest of the class. "That makes two of us." Was all Twilight could think when she saw the uninterested mare, everyone here seemed to be enjoying their conversations, but how could they? They were ranting about the most trivial of things, it was ridiculous. Twilight took another look at the brush Rarity gave her, and then the bell rang. It was time for period 2.
