"Okay now you're all ready and set for the school, you know the layout from every side." Raiden mentions smiling as he bows towards a few new kids in school.

Raiden is Assistant Principal Luna's young child, about a few years younger then you. He was also your cousin who was a bit of a know it all, but he was still family.

The people who joined the tour had finally been released by Raiden. As Raiden left the area he spotted a girl fallen on the ground. Her hands on the ground along with her knees, he tilted his head as she rose from the ground her legs shaking as she fell over with a small puppy near her.

"Are you ok?" He asks with a smile.

"Huh ahhhh w-who're you!" She shouts in complete fear as she falls on her butt.

"Sorry, for the lack of introductions." He helps her stand up. "My name's Raiden, nice to meet you, what is your name?"

"T-Twilight S-Sparkle, why are you here Raiden?" She asks

"Ah…because I study here?" He points at school behind him. "Why are YOU here?"

"N-no you're suppose to be with Princess Luna and Dante." She shouts.

"Princess Luna? Oh! You mean Principal Luna, are you a new student too?" He shakes his head. "Miss you really need to get yourself a watch, missy you are late, the tour just ended 5 minutes ago." He says tapping on his digital wrist watch.

"Tour? What're you talking about?" She asks with confusion.

"Well you're in luck I have some time to spare I suppose I can give you a second one!" He grabs her hand and drags her with him.

"W-where are we going?" She asks

"To the school, I'm going to give you a personal tour!" He mentions with a smile as they entered students walked around the main entrance with a few talking amongst their small groups. "Oh we're just in time, fourth period just ended, good, that means that I can show you some of the classrooms."

"I don't know about this, I should really be going."

"Sorry school rules, no students can wander the halls without escort, unless they know where everything is exactly at. Meaning new students need a tour before they're able to go anywhere on campus."

"Who made that ridiculous rule?" Twilight asks

"I did." Twilight froze when she hears Principal Luna's voice behind her. Her rather strict sounding voice frightening her as she turned to see Luna's intimidating scowl.

"Hi mom! I was just showing the new student the school, her name is Twilight Sparkle." Raiden mentions with a large smile.

"Sparkle eh?" Luna gets closer to Twilight a bit frustrated by Twilight's lack of respect. "Tell me miss Sparkle do you have a problem on how we do things around here?"

"N-no ma'am I'm just questioning is all." She mentions backing up a bit.

"Good." She steps away and looks at her son. "Keep an eye on her would you dear?"

"You can count me mom!" Raiden happily mentions.

"I know I can, and if miss Sparkle gives anymore trouble." She gives a small glare at Twilight again. "Make sure to send her into my office if she breaks any rules."

"I will mom." Luna nods and walks away. Leaving Twilight in a state of both shock, sure Luna did project a cold nature from time to time back in Equestria, but even she was nice to Twilight. Her confusion only made things worse as she seemed too frighten to even notice Raiden speaking until she spotted his lips moving.

"Don't feel so bad, mom can get a bit sensitive with the rules she made, you should know, you have heard of her before right?"

"She's not as terrifying as before." Twilight mentions as she feels Spike shaking in her backpack.

"Nah mom's a really cool lady, once you get to know her…well as long as you keep on her good side that is." He takes her hand once more and continues. "Okay lets start this tour, what would you like to see first? The classrooms? The cafeteria?"

"Cafeteria I suppose." She mentions with a sigh

"There you go we just-" Before Raiden could continue his overdrawn speech he pushes Twilight to the side and covers her mouth before she can protest. "Shhh, don't speak." He mentions as he removes his hand and points towards Sunset who was passing by as the many students moved out of the way when they see her. "That's Sunset Shimmer, another rule you must always learn, never get in her way."

"Why not? She's not scary she's just another pon-er person isn't she?"

"Yeah we wish, she's a living nightmare, ever since she got transferred she took control, not even my mom or aunt can do anything to stop her reign of terror every time someone reports her she always somehow gets away with it, they just think she's a ray of sunshine." He sighs with sadness. "A real shame really, this place could be much more fun if it wasn't for her."

"Why not? You just can't have a bully in the hallways, what about Dante can't he do anything or is he hating life like usual." She asks that confuses him for a second.

"You know my cousin? From where?" He asks

"From Canterlot he's here too right! Celestia and Sombra's son." She mentions with worry.

"O-k, you're officially worrying me." He put his hand on her forehead with worry. "You know my cousin, but have your memories all wrong, by any chance did you hit your head? Are you feeling dizzy, lightheaded perhaps? Oh what am I saying, of course you do, I found you in the ground, quick lets go see the school nurse she might be able to help you!" He starts to drag her towards the nurse's office.

"Wait no! I'm not dizzy or lost my memory! I know exactly what's happening!" She shouts as students turn their heads seeing Twilight's small fit as Raiden calms her down letting out an awkward laugh.

"I'll believed it after Nurse Red Heart tells me that you're okay until then try to relax."

School Infirmary...

The silent ticks of the clock hanging on a wall with a few students getting their temperatures checked as they either were faking being sick or really were sick, Twilight felt so out of place then again she does see this almost every other day since she arrived to Ponyville many months ago. With almost every week having an adventure.

"Nurse Red Heart, this poor girl hit her head pretty badly, can you help her out?" Raiden says with worry.

"She did? Oh you poor poor thing." Using a mini flashlight in front of both of her eyes, she begins inspecting them making sure Twilight was okay. "Tell me dear, do you know your name? Or know where you're at."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I am in Canterlot aren't I?" She smiles and puts her mini flashlight back into her pocket.

"Well hmmmmm, if you don't mind I would like to run a quick test, Raiden do you mind waiting outside?" Red Heart asks.

"Not at all. Get well." Raiden mentions with a smile as he closes the door behind him.

"He's such a nice boy don't you think?" Red Heart mentions with a giggle.

"If you say so but why is the tour mandatory, I only need to find something and I'll be out of everybody's mane." She mentions with a shrug.

"Its mostly for your own good." She points at a bed in the room. "Please sit there and look to the side. Canterlot High is a pretty big school, so unless you know exactly where and how to get there, you'll be completely lost." She pats her head a couple of times. "That's why it became a rule."

"I suppose that is true, from the outside it looks small." Twilight mentions

"Yeah it's really interesting optical effect the benefactor of this school, Mr.Discord, thought it was a fun way for the students to not feel so small when they enter."

"Of course he'd create something like this." She says sighing

"Well all seems good, you're free to good miss, oh and welcome to Canterlot High." Raiden looks at her when she exits the room, smiling a bit.

"How did it go?" He asks

"Normal check up I guess." She says sighing

"Thank god it wasn't anything serious, c'mon I'll take you to the cafeteria." Raiden began guiding her to the cafeteria smiling as he tugs her hand.

"So, you really aren't here as a new student?" He asks sparking up a question.

"N-no I'm trying to find something Sunset stole." She mentions.

"Oh well whatever it is, you might want to find another, if Sunset has it, it'll be extremely difficult for her to return it, I'm sorry but its gone."

"I can't let her have it and I won't give up, if you and Dante are here. Then my friends would be here. Is Fluttershy dating Dante?" She asks curiously

"Ah no, and I don't think they'll even try, Shy's a bit…well her namesake shy."

"What! This is so weird they have to be together dammit! Did they kiss at the gala?" She asks

"What gala?" He asks tilting his head.

"There isn't a gala! This isn't the way things are suppose to be. If they aren't together then he doesn't have much confidence in himself."

"Well you got that right, Dante lives in a pseudo bubble all around us, he barely lets me, my aunt, mom, and Eris in on it, and only talks to others when they need his help, its really sad, I don't think he'd even have the confidence to talk with girls."

"That isn't the Dante I know, the Dante I know is a womanizing jerk of a friend who knows how to talk to girls with ease, and is currently dating Fluttershy who hopefully one day become a royal couple!" She says with annoyance.

"Um Twilight do you by any chance have a crush on my cousin?"

"W-what no! N-not that I haven't thought of it! Oh why am I justifying myself to you!"

"I don't know, but it's a bit funny too." Raiden chuckles a bit. "Now I understand why Rarity likes to tease some of her friends when they get boyfriends."

"Rarity? She's here too!" She asks

"Oh yeah, she's here, I could guide you to her if you wish."

"Yes please show me her now!"

"Ah don't you want to finish your fo-" Before Raiden could answer Twilight had stuffed her face with the food not bothering to use her hands, surprising Raiden as he backed up a bit as he passes her a napkin once she was done.

"Ya know, if you were in such a hurry you could've have just said." Raiden stands up once more and begins to guide her to the home economics room. Near the second floor, as they walked up stairs Twilight felt afraid.

Her friends she had no idea where they were, and Dante, the guy who knows how to solve problems isolated and not talk to his girlfriend. It was like a bizarro version of her Equestria, though she let out a sigh. Complaining about it wouldn't solve her problem, entering the room Raiden approached the rather slender and framed young woman Rarity. One of the most premiered fashionistas of Canterlot high.

"Rares, you have a visitor!" Raiden shouts.

"Hmmm, Oh bring them in darling who is it." Turning she looks to Twilight and smiles. "And pray tell who are you?"

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, you don't remember?" She asks with confusion Raiden approaches Rarity and whispers.

"She thinks we all know her, just play along." She whispers

"But I do know you all!" Twilight shouts

"It's quite alright to know us dear, no ones making fun of you." Rarity informs trying to calm her down.

"I know that dammit!" She shouts

"Okay okay relax, we believe you, you seem to know a lot about us, we know you aren't lying, so don't be mad." Raiden says trying to calm her down.

"I am not mad!"

"Then maybe you can stop yelling, lets try have a nice quiet conversation okay." Twilight lets out a breath of air as she nods.

"Fine. I'm calm I'm relaxed and I feel just fine."

"Okay great, now lets start again." Raiden take a deep breath and smiles. "You said Sunset Shimmer stole something extremely valuable from you right?"

"Yes she stole something of mine and I don't know where exactly it's at."

"Well what is it? Perhaps someone in the school saw it." Rarity asks with a smile.

"I don't know Raiden took me on the tour I couldn't leave Raiden's side." Twilight says with a sigh.

"I mean what is the object she stole from you…you DO know what was that right?"

"A crown. She stole my crown."

"A crown?"

"You mean like the crown Fluttershy found?" Rarity asks.

"Huh y-you mean she found it! I could've asked her for my crown!" She mentions with excitement.

"Fluttershy returned the crown to my aunt, she thought it was the reward for the fall formal." Raiden mentions as he remembers seeing the crown being brought to the faculty office.

"A prize that Sunset had won 3 years on a row." Rarity mentions with a sigh.

"Then I'm gonna have to face Sunset!" She says with confidence Rarity and Raiden share concerned glances before looking at Twilight.

"Um Twilight there's a reason why it's called fall formal its for students only, and you can't face Sunset unless you enroll yourself here." Raiden tries to break the news.

"Then who do I talk to, to enroll." Twilight asks

"That will be my aunt, principal Celestia."

"Then I'll need to talk to her." She mentions with a smile.

You...

"Okay so now that I'm here with you Coco, I'm gonna give you a tour of the school. There's a lot of ground to cover and we'll start in the cafeteria, when you get in there you have to show which clique you belong in. In this school everyone is separated into cliques."

"Why's that?" Coco asked tilting her head.

"I dunno, it's just how things are. I myself use to hang out with the rockers until a little while ago when my friend Eris made another."

"Can you tell me what the cliques are maybe I'll find a place to belong." You chuckled and nodded as the two of you entered the busy cafeteria as everyone of the students were either eating or talking to one another. Each person had their very own things going on, many of which was pretty normal.

"Well from the little info I have there are Rockers, pretty much anybody even musical talented mostly what you'd see in a group. Fashionistas, anyone with a fashionable bone in their body. Environmentalists, care for animals and love absolutely anything about nature. Jocks, usually anyone in particular who is physically active and people who love exercising. And finally my best friend and my group Outsiders, basically students who have nowhere else to go, but with a couple of people who don't have place in the other groups. My best friend Eris rounds up students who don't belong, but once they find their place in a clique they're welcomed to leave, though any is always welcomed with us. And well she does a damn fine job leading. Now to the part of the tour where I introduce you to Eris, cmon." You walk with her towards a lunch table where Eris and a couple of her friends were hanging. You knew a few of them, but not like you did with Eris they were nice enough to you even when Eris was gone.

There was Echo Notes, a nice, good looking and talented singer she often loved participating in Eris's pranks. She had light silver gray colored hair with light blue colored skin, she wore a black and gray plaided skirt with a white t-shirt underneath a black blazer with a gray colored tie around her neck.

Another was about 12 years old, as old as your cousin, her name was Serendipity, the girl you met at the party store beneath that sweet and naive shell was a pretty laid back and fun girl to be around. She often planned what items to get to complete said prank often getting eggs, food coloring or general supplies Eris would need. Even if she was new to the group she was still well liked by everyone.

Then there was Winter Notes, Echo Notes twin brother, he had warm auburn colored skin with peach colored hair. He wore almost the same as Echo except his pants were black colored slacks with a gray suit vest with a white dress shirt underneath the vest. Though they might not look exactly like twins the two acted almost similar, with Winter being more of a singer and a smooth talker while his sister fairly sophisticated and slightly more elegant singer then her brother.

"Guys, I want you to meet Coco Pommel. New student here in C.H.S." Your friends turn to you with smiles as they all didn't have food and instead opted just to hangout and talk to one another.

"So you must be Dante's new girlfriend." Eris joked as Coco looked away embarrassed her cheeks a little red.

"Oh would you stop that Eris, she's probably a new student and maybe a friend of Dante's." Echo mentions smiling as she rolled her eyes.

"A new student, where did she transfer from? Oh did she transfer over from Crystal Prep?" Serendipity asks tilting her head.

"Um y-yes." She mentions hiding behind you.

"Oh that boarding school that Dante's sister works at, wow so you rich or something?" Winter asks with a smirk.

"Oh um my family is just a little well off, my dad works as a Lawyer and my mom works as a seamstress." She mentions.

"Hehehe that's cool." Winter says smiling as Coco looked at him with somewhat of admiration look.

"Oh shit looks like the new girl had the hots for you, Winter." Eris mentions with a laugh.

"H-huh!? N-no I-I'm not!" Coco's blush betrayed her as the rest of your friends let out laughs.

"Coco doesn't look sick, she doesn't even look disgusted except the redness on her cheeks! Oh is she starting to get sick?!" She gasps and rushes over to Coco and feels her cheek and pokes at it too. "She needs apple juice!"

Serendipity jumps off the table and runs over to the lunch line, and begins wait as students waited for their turn in getting some lunch.

"Um is she always that excited?" Coco asks

"Yeah don't worry about her, she's just a little different, an adorable little difference" Echo mentions with a giggle.

"Well she does look cute, she seems so helpful what year is she in?"

"She's a freshman, she's a bit of cutie that way too." You say laughing a bit.

"Anyway since Coco isn't your girlfriend tell me, what's the first thing Dante helped you with?"

"A stuck locker, it was giving me troubles and I was going to be late to class he just appeared and helped me out. It was sweet of him." She said smiling.

"Now that's cute, let me give you a congratulating handshake." You sighed and took her hand and brought it down.

"Don't mess with her, Eris, please she's new and a friend."

"Finnne, did you tell her about Sunset? She's going to need every single information mark for that girl."

"Well lets see she's really really bossy, she's the type of girl that'll take your generosity for granted and even get blackmail on you to take advantage of you. And one more thing try not to look at her direction she might not look intimidating from faraway, but she can be a real bitch." You mention sighing as Serendipity came back with a bunch of juice boxes. She had a massive smile on her as she only placed them on the table.

"I got wild berry juice, apple juice, orange juice, oh and grape juice! What's your favorite?" Serendipity asks smiling as Coco giggled a bit.

"I like apple juice. Can I have it?" Serendipity nods and hands her the apple juice making you smile as Serendipity grabbed the grape juice and began drinking the juice staring at Coco as they both drink.

You smiled as the two seemed happy with one another, though today was only one day and Coco still had a lot to learn you were going to be with her all the way.

Once lunch passed you were walking around the school, with everyone on lunch break Eris decided to take Coco around the school while you adjust. You continued down the halls to see Sunset walk away from a darken area of the school she looked upset and rather annoyed, whatever happened you wanted to know.

Approaching the hall you turned the corner to see a girl with light lavender colored skin with a twin purple mane with a light pink streak. You heard her talking with someone else in the hall, but you couldn't see who.

"You can't just give up Twi, everyone back in equestria is counting on you. And somewhat on me since I kinda ran after." The voice says with slight embarrassment, the voice sounded child like and filled with some kind of determination.

"This gonna be challenging Spike, without any help at the school I'm not going to get my crown back. I know this much I've seen Fluttershy, Rarity and Raiden. If anybody could help me it'll be Dante."

"But we haven't seen Dante! We don't know if he even exists here!" You stayed silent as you hid behind the corner as you continued hearing more.

"We can't give up Twi, sure Dante is human back in Equestria, but he was born by Celestia and Sombra. Remember what Celestia told him on how he became human. Dark magic from his dad hit him and changed his appearance he's a pony at heart, it's just his appearance that's changed." You looked at the girl who nodded as she wiped away her tears, petting the small puppy.

"Now we gotta find Dante!" The puppy mentions with determination.

"D-did your dog just talk?" You asked completely startled, the two looked at one another before nodding making you slightly afraid of what was to come.

Author's Note

Took me awhile but I got around to writing a chapter of this story, since this is an alternate universe story. Things will go different in how each girl is convinced to be part of one team so enjoy.
