Chapter 2: A New School

I sat on my bed, curled up as a human in this world could be. I was surprised by the letter my mom wrote, but I guess it was true. I look up through the window of the crystallized castle and sighed.

"I'm gonna miss you Mom," I said. I cuddled my pillow, which I do not do unless I feel extremely uneasy. Right now I'm scared, what with all the changes. I was nervous about going to the new school, especially since I'm so used to the school at Canterlot. The school there was almost terrible. The only good things there was my usual teacher, and the last bell of the day. I never told my mom what happened, fearing that'd I'd have a target on my back if I did. That, and I want to face it alone, to show that I'm not some weak creature. I started worrying myself to sleep, dreaming peacefully. I then woke up at the Canterlot castle. I look around to see a hallway.

"David," Mom said at one end. I whip my head around. With pure joy I ran up to her and hugged her. She smiled, hugging me back.

"I miss you so much," I said. She strokes my head. In a way, it brought peace. We broke the hug and told eachother our stories of the day. Luna didn't have much, but I did. I explained all that happened. She laughed at Twilight's part of the story. Then, she looks up and sighs.

"I'm going to have to go," she said. I nodded. I woke up with a dragon shaking me. I grabbed him to establish my senses. He smiles when we both stop shaking.

"You are really hard to wake up!" Spike said. I shrug.

"Eh, once you get used to sleep at night, it's like you throw away daytime," I say. He laughs.

"Anyway, it's time to go to school," he said. I felt my heart stop.

"School? When was I enrolled in school? I haven't even been here for a day!" I said.

"Twilight is really quick, believe me," he said. I soon got dressed in clothes. I had on the same clothes I wore yesterday, a checkered shirt with jeans. Mom had some ponies help make clothes for me. I started walking when I found a bookbag with my name on it. I took it and out it on my back smiling at the gift. I walked downstairs, being the master of direction when it comes to this castle. When I got to the bottom, I was met with five ponies I don't recognize. They were bickering when Aunt Twilight cleared her throat. She nodded toward my direction. They all look at me, and sat there in shock. I then realized who they may be.

"Well, I never thought I'd see a little guy like him!" I think Applejack said. I waved slowly smiling.

"Um, hi everypony," I said. Spike walks up, carrying a bookbag as well. I walk out the door as Twilight yells for me to have a good day at school through the chatty ponies. I feel deja vu. Not the good kind either. I paid no heed to it and followed Spike. We walked past a literal gingerbread house, a really tall building with lots of support beams, and then I think we passed a sofa and quill shop. As the dirt road led on, I struck up a conversation.

"So, how long have you been going to school?" I ask.

"Um, I think about two years," he said. Irony.

"Well, I don't think I'll have as much experience," I said chuckling. He looks at me in confusion.

"What do you mean?" He asks. I smiled.

"See, I've only been to home school," I said. He looks at me in shock.

"Really? You've never been able to meet other ponies?" He asks.

"I didn't say that, I had contact, except every time I did, it's always, 'You should bow before my expert presence', or 'Why do you think you'll be able to talk to me?'" I replied. He raises an eyebrow.

"Are the adults better?" He asks. I nod.

"Much, they were always maturer in so many ways. If I had a bit every time an adult wasn't nice, I'd only have two bits!" I said smiling. He keeps looking at me in confusion, but after I didn't explain he shrugs it off. As we finally reach the school, I took a good look at it. It was huge, larger than what Mom had told me. It was also wooden, very firm looking. It also looked like someone's gone overboard with the playground. I stepped to the door, and took a deep breath. I exhaled, slowly walking in.

I look around to see a purple earth pony, with a few smiley faces as a cutie mark. I look to my left to see at least five rows of students. I waved slowly, smiling slightly.

"Ah, you must be the new student Twilight told me about," I'm guessing the teacher said.

"Uh, yes I guess?" I said.

"He's good at rhyming at least!" One random colt said. I couldn't help but laugh. Everyone joined in and I felt half of my worries lift off. The purple pony smiled.

"It's good to know you have a sense of humor! Go ahead young man tell us all your name," she said. I nodded and turned to the class.

"Hi, my name is David, call me Dave for short," I said to everyone. They all smiled and waved.

"Now, class, let's introduce ourselves, I am Cheerilee, the teacher," she said. A blue pegasus with a cyan mane, highlighted with brown stood up.

"Fretus Wing's the name, being awesome is my game!" He said. I couldn't help but chuckle. A green pegasus filly with a darker green mane stood up.

"My name is Ivory, hi," she said as she waved shyly. An orange coated and muddy blond maned filly stands up.

"My name's Applecake! Nice to meet ya!" She said in a slight southern accent. A pale pink filly with a chocolate stood up.

"Hiya! My name is Sugar Spice Pie!" She said. A unicorn colt with a tan coat and purple combed mane stood up.

"I am is Midnight Shine," he said, bowing a little. I bowed a small bit as well. A dark purple unicorn colt with glasses and a jet black mane stood up.

"Mauveine, a pleasure to meet you Dave," he said. An orange pegasus filly with a purple name, which for some reason reminds me of chicken, stood up.

"My name is Scootaloo!" She said. A white and light purple maned unicorn filly stood up.

"I'm Sweetie Bell!" She said. A yellow coated red maned filly stood up.

"I am Applebloom!" She said. I loved these ponies enthusiasm. After what I thought was forever later, everyone had introduced themselves. I was assigned to sit in the front row, and I had apparently been found the day everyone changes seat. I found myself sitting beside Scootaloo and Fretus. Spike's on Fretus' left, Spike is also beside Applecake apparently. I look right to see Applebloom is beside Scootaloo. I look behind me to see Midnight Shine. Beside his right was Mauveine. His left was Ivory. Her right was Sugar Spice. Sweetiebelle was one Mauveine's right. I then put my attention to the front of the class room.

"Alright class, we are going to go ahead and get on to math this morning!" Cheerilee said. Everyone groaned and I had a confident smile. "Our problem will be fun this time! We are going to go over coordinates!" She said. I smiled. "Dave, would you like to go first?" She asks. Fretus pats my back, shaking his head. I chuckle and go up. I started putting inputs and outputs at random. I had accidentally made a smiley face with the coordinates Cheerilee gave me. Everyone snickers. I look at the board and smile.

"Do you guys know what this means!" Sugar Spice asks. Everyone covers their ears. "The smiley is in boardom!" She said. Everyone in the room face palmed. I smiled a little at the over corny joke. Maybe I'll fit in after all.

It has been a blast the past couple of hours. First was math, then science, right now it's lunch! I walk to a table outside, and sat down on one bench. I opened my bag to see a peanut butter sandwich. I smiled brightly and grabbed it. I also found a small can of soda. I felt like I'm a little kid as I bit into the sandwich. Spike sits next to me on the bench.

"So how're you liking school?" He asks.

"I love it!" I said. Fretus comes up with a smile.

"Hiya guys! Mind if I sit here?" He asks, sitting down anyway.

"Why not?" I ask. I then noticed that two alive beings are sitting next to me. In Canterlot I've never really sat with anyone. Well, maybe the other way around, I dunno.

"So I heard you're Luna's adopted son?" He asks. I almost dropped my sandwich.

"How did you know?" I ask. He points a hoof at Sugar Spice, who is dumping hotsauce on her cupcakes.

"She's like a psychic who can read minds. She says it's like she senses stuff, but I don't believe her, anyway that's cool," he says taking a bite out of a homemade hayburger. I stared at the hotsauce on Sugar Spice's cupcakes.

"Is he gonna be okay?" I ask. Fretus nods.

"Well of coarse I'll be okay!" Sugar Spice said. "I'm kind of like a dragon with a fireproof throat!" She says. It took me a minute to register she's there.

"How did you get over here so fast?" I ask. She shrugs. She then sits down besides Fretus. Apple cake comes over with her lunch and Spice's.

"Okay sugar cubes, what's all the fuss?" She asks.

"We're just talking!" Spice says. Applecake smiles.

"In that case, let me join in!" She said. Soon, all the rfirst nine ponies that intrigued me are sitting beside me. I felt like the happiest person here.

Author's Note

Nope, this is not a sequel to Six Broken Hearts!

I'm getting a prediction of what people will ask:

Are you actually serious!?

Why did you make another?

Why are you also trying to predict our comments!?!?

Well, I'm not gonna lie, making these stories are really fun! I'm also really scared about how you guys are gonna react, but nonetheless, go ahead and give me criticism. Or compliments. I'm gonna continue this anyway.

For those wondering:

Yes, these new fillies and colts I mentioned are the original humans sons and daughters!
