The Silent Type

A kid stood in front of Canterlot High School, staring at it, as if it was his greatest enemy. He wore a black jacket, with a white T-shirt with a zombie on it that has a bullet hole in his head with blood splattered everywhere, with black jeans, black shoes, and a black beanie that had the letters DR on it. He also had black fingerless gloves on as well, man this kid likes black. One could see he had brown short hair from the back, but no one knew what his hairstyle was, or if he had a hairstyle, as his beanie covered up his hair. He had a piece of paper in his hand that read:

Locker #25, Combo: 21, 9, 10

The kid looked up at the school once again, and slung his blue backpack on his right shoulder as he headed off to the front doors. He stopped midway before pulling his phone out, and a pair of earbuds. He put them in and pressed play on the song, 'Blown Away' by Youth Brigade. He then walked up the steps before pushing the doors aside. He then saw the empty foyer of the school, with everyone presumably in class, except for one student on a bench. She had bacon like hair, black leather jacket that shouted 'bad girl' but her face said 'good girl'... in a non sexual way that is. She had a purple tank top like thing with an orange sun on it, had an orange skirt, and big black and purple boots. This of course was Sunset Shimmer.

The kid didn't notice Sunset at first and just looked at his surroundings, however Sunset noticed him. She volunteered to show the new kid around the school. She got up and walked towards him, who was still looking around, up at the ceiling, the walls, everything. She decided to greet him in a friendly manner, because her look might say something else.

"Hi there." she said. The kid didn't hear her because of the his ear buds, plus the fact he wasn't paying attention to her. His eyes then laid on her, staring right at her. She smiled a warm smile, and out of courtesy, paused the music and took out the ear buds, giving her his full attention.

"You must be the new kid right?" she asked. The kid nodded. "Well what's your name?" The kid looked at her with a blank expression before looking at his surroundings again. She raised an eyebrow at this sight. "Hello?" she asked. The kid looked at her. "What's your name?" she asked again. The kid stared at her once again, with a blank expression. "Are you deaf?" she asked, trying not to be rude. The kid shook his head, as in a 'no'. "Can you talk?" The kid nodded. "Well why won't you talk?" she asked again in a polite manner. The kid shrugged. Not wanting to sound rude again, she decided to ask him later.

"Well I'm here to show you around school, where the classes are, the cafeteria, the computer lab, you know all that." The kid shrugged once again. "Follow me." And with that the tour began. First she showed him the principal's office, the vice principal's office, the computer lab, the cafeteria, the classes and teachers, then finally the rows of lockers.

"And this is where all the lockers are. Speaking of which, do you have a locker?" she asked. The kid took out the piece of paper with the locker combo and number out from his left pocket. She saw the locker number and smiled. "Wow, we're locker buddies!" she exclaimed. The kid rose an eyebrow. "Meaning your locker is right next to mine. I'm number 26. I can show you where it is." The kid looked at her before putting the piece of paper in his pocket. He then gave a hand signal meaning 'be my honors'. She smiled before leading him to his locker.

After a minute of walking, and thinking why he can't talk for Sunset, they finally arrived at his and her locker.

"This is where you put your stuff in. Probably went the same at your old school right?" asked Sunset. The kid nodded. "Was your old school nice?" The kid starred at her for a moment, before going to his locker. He put in the combination and just set his backpack in there. Sunset wondered why he wouldn't speak or answer her questions.

"So, if I may." she said, grabbing the kid's attention. "What is your name?" The kid kept starring at her with his blank expression, eventually just shrugging. Sunset then noticed the letters on his beanie, the ones that said DR. "DR? Are you a doctor?" she joked, laughing a little. The kid starred at her with unimpressed lidded eyes. She saw them and stopped laughing and became serious. "Are those your initials?" The kid nodded. "Could you tell me?" The kid shook his head.

Just then, the bell rang and soon the hallways were flooded with students and were all headed to the cafeteria. Sunset and the kid both starred at each other, before Sunset heard her name.

"Sunset!" yelled the voice. She turned and saw the girls coming to her.

"Hi girls." she said.

"Who's this sugarcube?" asked Applejack, refereeing the new kid, who just starred at her.

"He's the new kid I was suppose to show. We just finished the tour." Sunset replied.

"Sweet! What's your name?" asked Rainbow. The kid starred at her. "Well?" He kept starring before turning his head to the others who all gave warm smiles. He shrugged, once again.

"You don't know your own name?" asked Pinkie.

"Pinkie, I don't think he can talk. Maybe's he's deaf." said Rarity.

"He's not deaf. He said so, well he didn't really say, more like shook his head." said Sunset.

"Well why doesn't he talk?" asked Rainbow.

"I don't know."

"Sugarcube, if yer shy, ya don't have to be." said Applejack. The kid crossed his arms and lidded his eyes, in a 'are you serious' kind of way.

"I don't think he's shy." said Fluttershy. "I know how that feels."

"Does he have a name darling?" asked Rarity.

"That's the thing, he won't tell." said Sunset.

"OOO! A guessing game! Look at the letters on his beanie. Is it, David Ryan, or Drew Richards, or Dinosaur Ryuzaki?" asked Pinkie in the high pitch, over excited tone she uses.

"Dinosaur Ryuzaki? What kind of name is that?" asked Rainbow.

"A name." Pinkie then gave a huge smile. The kid just stared at her with unimpressed eyes. "Well since he isn't giving his name, we'll name him ourselves." The kid still had the same look. "Hmm. What can we call him? OOOO! How about Doctor! DR means doctor right?" The kid shook his head.

"You don't like that name?" asked Sunset. He shook his head once again.

"Do you mind if he name you?" asked Fluttershy. The kid shrugged. "Is that a yes?" The kid nodded.

"How 'bout Duke?" asked Applejack. The kid shook his head.

"I like your T-Shirt. How about Zombie Slayer?" asked Rainbow. The kid crossed his arms and looked up into the air as he tapped his finger on his elbow. He then nodded his head in agreement. "Zombie Slayer it is then!" The kid violently shook his head to get her attention. "Huh? But you just said you like it." The kid held up his index finger, confusing the group.

"What?" asked Applejack. The kid rolled his eyes as he pointed to his shirt.

"Zombie Slayer, I know that's your name." The kid had lidded, annoyed like eyes. He then held up his finger again. "One?"

"One what darling?" asked Rarity. He then pointed to the bullet hole on the zombie's head. "Bullet?"

"Slayer?" asked Pinkie. The kid nodded his head at Slayer. "Oohh! You want to be called Slayer huh?" The kid nodded his head. "Slayer is your new name now, that is until you choose to speak that is." Slayer then put on his ear buds and pressed play on his music and walked away, hands in his jacket pockets.

"Well, I guess he won't be speaking for a long time." said Sunset.

"I wonder why?" asked Rainbow.

"Ah kind of like him for that trait. Makes him look, mysterious." said Applejack.

"Applejack's got a crush." sang Pinkie, causing her to blush.

"Ah do not!" she denied.

"AJ and Slayer sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." sang Rainbow.

"Quit it now y'all. Ah do not have a crush on him."

"I thought you were the Element of Honesty AJ. Why are you lying?"

"Ah'm not lyin'. Ah do not have a crush on him."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go get some lunch, I'm starving."

"Rainbow yer always starvin'." Around the corner, Slayer was walking down the hall, passing many students, until he pulled out his locker combo again. There was a fold up top, so he unfolded it, revealing two words: Dieter Rooke.
