      "Well then, I will be just going..." Dusk started to walk away.

     About an hour later, it was lunchtime, so Dusk headed to the lunchroom. He saw Butterscotch in the lunch line, so he headed there.

   "Hey, Butterscotch." Butterscotch seemed okay with talking to Dusk right now.

   "Hi, Dusk..."

  "Soo, Butterscotch, I was planning to run for Prince of the Autumn Dan-"

   "Oh, NO NO NO... sorry..." The boy accidentally spilled his drink on Dusk and was furiously grabbing napkins to clean up.

     "It's OK, it's not THAT bad... let's head to a table..."

     Both boys sat down at an empty table. Now that they sat down, Dusk saw that Butterscotch has a cream pink shirt and green pants with 3 butterflies embroidered on the pocket. Like something Fluttershy would probably wear.

   "So, Butterscotch,  why shouldn't I run for Autumn Dance prince?" inquired Dusk. "No, wait, Apple Jack told me already tha-"

    "The last person to run against Sunset Glare for Autumn Dance prince was really humiliated that they moved schools? Everyone's heard about Hoop Shot and how he ran against Sunset. It was REALLY bad.. And the only way to come close to winning, you've got to win over everyone. And that's going to be hard, because everyone is separate..."

    "What do you mean 'separate'?"

    "They're all grouped up. You see the Drama kids, Artist group, Athletes,  etc..."

   "It's been like this for a while?"

   "I think it has."

     "Well, thanks for telling me. So, Butterscotch,  does CHS have a library?"

     Butterscotch nodded and said," It's pretty big. It's in the west wing. You can't miss it."

     "Thanks.."

     Heading to the library inside the school, he knew the library must have SOME info about the world he was in...

     Dusk looked at students in the library, and saw what they did. Some were on the computers, others were reading books. Dusk read the spines of books until he found something that caught his eye. The spine said 'YEARBOOK FRESHMAN YEAR'. A picture inside interested him, so he took it to the front desk and checked it out.

   A few hours later, and announcement went through the intercom.

   Dusk was just BARELY at the end of the hallway when he was pulled into an empty classroom by someone. He was taking Dusk's measurements, and then he pulled out an outfit. He pulled it over Dusk's head and then said,"Perfect, no one will ever recognize you. Also, when was the last time you even looked at your wardrobe?"

   "Wait, why wouldn't I want to be recognized by anyone?" said Dusk.

   "There you are, Dusk. Where did you go afte' chasin' that dog o' yours?"

   "I've been looking for since you left for the library and didn't come back for a while."

   "HIYAH DUSK, WHERE YOU BEEN?"

    A. J., Butterscotch, and Bubble Berry all came in through the door.

  "Well, so much for the disguise... we'll need a new way to hide you. Any ideas?" The boy looked at Dusk. Dusk finally could see how he looked like. He had light colored skin, blue eyes, purple hair that was curled just like Rarity's, only shorter. He wore an ivory turtleneck and purple pants with 3 diamonds sewn onto the hip pocket.

   "ELUSIVE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" shouted all 3 newcomers.

   "Your name is Elusive? " asked Dusk.

   "Yes, darling, and you 3, I was disguising Dusk from people who saw it."

   "Saw what?"

   Butterscotch said,"Oh no, he hasn't seen it yet. We can't show him."

   "C'mon, Butterscotch.  Y'all know we have to show 'em." said A.J.

   "What do you want to show me?" said Dusk.

   "This..." Bubble Berry said. Then he somehow pulled a laptop out of nowhere. It was pink with balloons on it. Bubble opened it, pushed a few buttons,  and a video popped up. Sunset was doing the voice over,  and badmouthing Dusk.

     "It's not that bad, right? RIGHT?!?!" asked Bubble Berry.

     "OW!!! BUBBLE BERRY?!"yelled Elusive.

      "Oops! Hehe..."

     "Wait, this never happened. This is all fake,"said Dusk. "How many people saw this?"

     "Well, everyone, mostly." said Butterscotch.

     "How am I going to become Autumn Dance prince now?"

     "Well, I can still help-" Bubble Berry was cut short.

    "Don't take his help. He can't take anything serious," said Butterscotch.

    Bubble Berry was getting angry. "Well, you don't have to be so mean about."

     "You're not any better!-"

      It became an all out argue between the 3 of them.

    A.J. then said, " Get over it! It's not that big-"

    "Get over it?! Just like you got what happened between you and Blitz?!"

    "He said he would bring the soccer and track team to ma' bake sale. And after setting the whole mornin', not one of 'em shows up. Not even Blitz shows up. After I told everyone they'll be comin', they don't show up.  He made me into a liar,  when I'm supposed to be always tellin' the truth.  That's different. "

   Elusive, Bubble Berry, and Butterscotch all then screamed at A. J. ,"IS NOT!"

   "STOP, ALL 4 OF YOU. Why are you fighting when you were once friends? " Dusk pulled out the yearbook and opened to the photo he first found in the library. It showed the human 5 in a photo.

   "The Freshman Year Carnival!"

   "Something happened to the five of ypu. I  think that something is something was Sunset Glare,"Dusk said.

  "That can't be so. Because it wasn't Sunset who kept sending me emails that the Party Planning committee is already full of volunteers. It was Bubble Berry." said Elusive.

    Bubble then spoke up. "I never sent you those emails. But I got an email from Butterscotch that said that he wanted a BIG PARTY to get new volunteers for the shelter."

   "I never sent anyone anything," stated Butterscotch.

   "So, I'm guessing that that's out of the way? A.J., did you ever ask why Blitz didn't show up at your bake sale?" asked Dusk.

  Apple Jack then nervously said,"Well, I kinda stopped talkin' to him after that."

   "I feel that now is a good time to start over."

   A. J. nodded and said,"C'mon. I'm sure he's at the soccer field practicin' for his next game."
