In the city of Canterlot, cars are driving, people walking on sidewalks and working at stores and offices. At Canterlot High School, students were in class and waiting for the bell at the end of the day, as it was the Seniors last day of school. The clock was one minute away from 12:00 and they started counting down at 10 seconds. The bell rings and all the students start to walk out of their classrooms and head out the front doors. With 7 friends gathering around for a surprise on the last day of school.

"Alright girls, are you ready to hear about the surprise?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Like we have been for the past three days." Sunset Shimmer said.
"So, what is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"I got nine tickets to tonight's hockey game." Rainbow Dash said.
"Where did you get those?" Applejack asked.
"I won them online. Who do you think should come with us?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I could invite Flash Sentry to come with us." Twilight said.
"That could be perfect, Twilight. It's a date." Pinkie said.
"But who else are we going to invite?" Fluttershy asked.
They decided to look at the students that were heading out of the school to pick which one to go with them. They heard some conversations of others about what they are doing tonight. So, they decided to look for some students that were by themselves. Then, they saw a student named Devon, that had tripped and fell and they decided to help him up and invite him.
"I'll ask if he wants to come." Rarity said to the group and walks to Devon and to help him up. "Devon, me and my friends were talking about going to a hockey game tonight and we still have a ticket for one more quest to come, would you like to come?" She asked him and watched him think for a moment.
"Well, I don't have anything to do tonight and it has been awhile since I've been to a hockey game. Yeah, I'll come." Devon said. "I'll ask my parents, here's my address." He gave her the address.
"Thank you, darling. We'll pick you up at 6:30." Rarity said and went to her friends. "He said yes."
"Awesome! I can't wait to see the hockey game, tonight." Rainbow Dash said.


Later, Devon made it home with his sister and walked inside and saw their parents in the living room, watching the news.
"Mom, Dad, there is something I would like to ask you." Devon said to his parents.
"What is it, son?" His mother asked.
"At 6:30 tonight, I was asked if I could go to the hockey game with some students for a last day of school. Is it okay if I go?" Devon asked.
"Yeah, son. You can go." Devon's father said.
"Thanks, guys." Devon said and goes to his room and calls Rainbow Dash to let her know that he could go.
"Make sure you take a jacket. It's cold at the game." His mom said.
"I will, mom. Sometimes I can't stand the cold." Devon said and gets his favorite jacket out of his closet.


Later that night, Devon was with the group at the hockey game to cheer for their favorite team. They were at the hockey arena watching the players practice before the game started. Devon looks at everyone that was in the group. He sat in between everyone on the bench and decided to talk to all the graduates.
"So, what do you all plan to do over the summer?" Devon asked the group.
"I'm going to be helping with parties." Pinkie said.
"Designing outfits for people." Rarity said.
"Working at the animal shelter." Fluttershy said.
"Working on my farm." Applejack said.
"Play soccer games with the Wondercolts." Rainbow Dash said.
"Me and Sunset will be doing research." Twilight said.
"I’m think about working as a guard at the museum." Flash Sentry said.
"I don't know what to do really. We might have a vacation in Florida for 10 days. We do this almost every year." Devon said.
As the group watched the players practice before the game on the players bench, they decided to talk a little more about themselves so Devon could get to know them better and he could tell them more about himself. They had some things in common, Devon and Rainbow Dash liked to read their favorite stories by the best writers they know. He and Pinkie liked to have fun whenever they have free time. Fluttershy and Devon liked to care for animals. Applejack and him like plants and how they grow. He and Rarity like to dress up for formal events. Twilight, Sunset, and Devon like to invent things using their imaginations. He and Flash do their best at all times so they can grow up to be responsible and caring adults. Devon thought maybe he could start a friendship with all of the graduates and go out with them a little more.
"What's the weather supposed to be, tonight? I forgot to check this morning." Sunset asked.
"I'll check." Devon said and gets his phone out of his pocket and it slips out of his hand. "Damn it. I dropped my phone." He looks for his phone that fell under the bench. While the players are practicing, one of them tries a slap shot on a puck and the hit sends it flying towards the bench with the fans as Devon found his phone. "Found it." He said and gets hit in the back of his head and gets knocked out cold, shocking everyone in the group and they immediately took him to the hospital.
