Ponyville High

My name is Twilight Sparkle. I just moved here from the big city of Canterlot, and the change... Well I don't like it. In Canterlot there are always big crowds that you can blend into, where people can think you're part of a group of friends just by walking next to them. Here in Ponyville, well everyone is friends with everyone. Ugh. It drives me insane! I don't need friends, I need to study! But will Mayor Celestia allow me too? Nooo. Move to Ponyville! Make some friends! What good does friends do? Oh! And also just when I was about to find out what the elements of harmony are, guess what, Twilight! We're moving! At least our apartment is above a Library! The Golden Oak Library. That's where I'll be spending my day. Well until we move back to Canterlot. But nooo that's too easy, Twilight! Your going to go to Ponyville High School! Whip wee! Make some friends, stop studing! Those are the worst words anyone can put into a sentence. I had friends...ish. Well, they could do magic, and we talked sometimes...for a few minutes. Here I didn't even know if anyone could do magic! There were four types of people in Equestria, Magic-doers, Pegastisters, Bronies, and Alicorns. Pegastisters had wings so they could fly, Magic-doers could do magic, Bronies were normal humans, and Alicorns had all three. They could do magic and fly.

I wasn't looking where I was walking and slammed into a girl. I noticed certain details that made me kinda want to run away from her. She had bright pink hair -the unmistakable scent of hairspray no less- crazy bright light blue eyes, she was wearing a charm bracelet -like mine- with three balloons, on it two were blue and one was yellow. Mine was a pink star with five smaller white stars around it. The girl was a brony, she didn't have wings or a magic aura. She wore a light pink skrit and a small darker pink vest. Her skirt also had her three balloons on it. She looked like a year or so older than me because she was an inch or two taller than me. I looked down at what I was wearing. I was also wearing a skirt -Ponyvillie High requirement- but it was purple not pink, and a vest, mine was darker shade of purple. Also on my skirt was my star. Make some friends. Celestia's voice rang though my mind.

"Ugh... Hi?" I said. I bushed one of dark brown/purple hairs out of my face. I had straight dark brown/purple hair with a lighter brown streak and a hot pink streak. The girl blinked and said nothing for a moment, then gasped so loud that I thought you could hear it in Canterlot. Then she ran off. "Well that was interesting." I said out loud.

"Just ignore her. She's always like that." A country accent voice said behind me. I spun around and saw a blonde hair girl with her hair in a ponytail. She was a brony too. She wore a light brown skirt with three red apples, a orange vest, a cowboy hat, and a charm bracelet, which had three red apples. She had calm green eyes and freckles all over face. She was a few inches taller than me, too.

"I'm Applejack, and y'all are..." She said stretching out a hand. I shook it.

"Twilight Sparkle." I told her. She smiled. She had a bag slung over her shoulder.

"Good. I'm supposed to show ya around." She said. Applejack walked in front of me and looked over shoulder. "Come on, Twilight." She called.

We walked in silence for a few minutes until a dark shadow looked over our heads. I looked up and saw a Pegastister with light blue wings, soaring towards me with incredible speed. Applejack saw the Pegastister too.

"Oh, Great Celestia." She said. She pushed me out of the way as the Pegastister swooped in. I heard someone laughing like it amused them. When the Pegastister swooped in I could tell it was a girl. I also caught a glimpse of rainbow hair? Weird. Mud soaked the spot where I was standing a moment before. The rainbow girl flew away laughing. I looked at Applejack, she looked angry.

"Uhm. Who was that?" I asked. Applejack clenched her hands. Her breathing became shallow.

"RAINBOW!" She screamed. The rainbow girl dropped in front of us. With a flash of magic her baby blue wings vanished. She wore black running shorts, a blue vest, and a charm bracelet. On both her vest and her charm bracelet was a red, blue, and yellow lightning bolt. She had long rainbow hair in a ponytail, and magenta eyes. I could tell she had powerful muscles underneath her skin. She also had kinda a I'm-so-good-you-can't-beat-me-just-try look in her eyes, which would of made her intimidating.....but she was like a foot shorter than me. Applejack could beat her up easily. Applejack tapped her foot on the ground. She had an evil look in her eye. The Rainbow Girl didn't notice, she kept smiling like nothing was wrong.

"Hey! It's A-jack!" She said. Rainbow Girl had a raspy voice. Which matched her style. "What up?" She asked. Applejack kept tapping her foot.

"What in all of Equestria was that, Rainbow Dash!?" She screamed. Well the rainbow hair makes sense now. Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"It's awesome!" She complained. From the way she used the awesome she must of used it a lot. "You dive in. Then you land! You can't say you lived until you're...." She paused of a second. As of thinking. "15,000 feet off the ground." She said smiling. Then she narrowed her eyes. She smiled widened. "Here let me show you." She said grabbing Applejack by the wrist and started flying into the sky, her wings out. I didn't expect Rainbow to be that strong, despite her size.

"RAINBOW DASH!!!!!" Applejack screamed. I rasied an eyebrow as Rainbow and Applejack flew off. Rainbow Dash laughing as Applejack struggled and cursed.

"What the-" I said.

"Oh, no. What did Rainbow do this time?" A voice came from behind me. How many people are behind me? I mean come on. So, I turned and saw a Magic-doer girl with brown curly hair that in the sunlight looked purple. She wore a white vest, a long purple skirt, and of course a charm bracelet. Her symbol was three blue diamonds. I should explain the symbols. So, when we are small we don't have a symbol. But if we do something that is so important to us, well a mark appears on our hips, and to show you aren't a blank-flank you wear your symbol.

"Uhm. The Rainbow Girl grabbed uhm, Applejack and started to fly away." I said. And Applejack was my guide. Oh well.

"Oh, dearie. That's Rainbow Dash if your wondering. Smaller than a Shetland pony, but stronger than a horse." She said sighing looking up at the sky. She looked at me. "I'm Rarity and- you-hoo-hoo! What happened to you hair?!" She gasped. I noticed that my hair was a mess. Courtesy of Rainbow Dash no less.

"Oh, it's nothing. I better get to school don't want to be late. I'll be out of your hair." Rarity's mouth opened and closed. Then she straighten her vest.

"My hair?! What about your hair?! It's a mess, darling!" She said grabbing me by the wrist and walking towards the school. When we got there she shoved me in the nearest girls bathroom and started to look threw her bag. Until finally she found a white dress. I rasied an eyebrow.

"Uhm. I don't need that, but thanks." I said trying to slip out. Rarity used her magic to close the door. I turned to look at her. She had a pouty look on her face.

"At least let me comb out your hair?" She whimpered. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine." I said threw my gritted teeth. Rarity clapped happily.

Around twenty minutes Rarity finally let me go! Just then Applejack ran out from around the corner, she had a smile on her face. Rainbow flew from around the same corner laughing. Applejack looked like she ran a mile. Rainbow looked the same. But they both had a smile on their faces. Applejack stopped in front of me and put her hands on her knees and took deep breaths. Rainbow landed, putting her wings away. Applejack glared at her.

"Hey, Newbie! You should of seen A-jack when we reached 10,000 feet! She was all like 'ahh!'" she said mimicking Applejack. I rasied an eyebrow, I was doing that a lot today. Applejack looked at me.

"Then she dropped me at 13,000 feet." Applejack snapped. Rainbow looked like she couldn't contain her laughter.

"You... You... You should of seen her face! " She managed to get out. Applejack kept glaring.

"And then-" she began.

"And then I caught her and put her down at Ponyville Park!" Rainbow said rolling her hand like it was nothing. Applejack wasn't satisfied.

"All the way across town." She commented. Rainbow launched herself back in the air. Still laughing.

"What in all of Equestria is this?!" A Magic-doer girl with red hair with blonde highlights said. Her blueish green eyes were so intense that Rainbow Dash landed. Which I had a feeling she doesn't take lightly. She wore a blood red vest, light orange skirt, and a charm bracelet, it was a sun with a Ying and Yang in the center.

"Well, Sunset. We were just-" Applejack tried to explain, but Sunset stomped her foot, Applejack flinched and stopped taking. Sunset stepped forward getting in her face.

"I said no friendship between different pony races." Applejack looked away. Rainbow looked down. I looked between them all. I stepped forward. I couldn't let her have power over them. Besides why should they listen to her?

"And why should they listen to you?" I snapped. She turned her glaze at me. Rainbow and Applejack looked at me.

"Because I'm their Student Body President, Sunset Shimmer!" She said. She took a step towards me, I could smell her breath. It smelled of mint toothpaste. "And I declared that no one, no one! Will cross paths in friendship!" She snapped. She turned her eyes to Rainbow. "Why don't you find your shy friend. What's her name? Oh! Fluttershy!" She slammed her foot down making Rainbow flinched.

"NOW!" Sunset yelled at her. Rainbow Dash flew off. Applejack looked at her as she flew away. Was that a wisp of sadness in her eyes? Just today I saw them fighting and laughing together. I was so clueless, were they rivals or best friends? I didn't know. She turned on Applejack.

"Now, now little hayseed. Go find your pink whatever friend." She said rolling her eyes. Applejack looked at her.

"I can't, Sunset. I have to show Twilight Sparkle here around." She said darting her eyes around. Sunset sighed and straighten her vest and smoothed her skirt.

"Fine. Today only. But after today, if I see you with her! You know the consequences, little hayseed!" She said walking off. Applejack sighed and looked at Twilight.

"Come on Twi, I'll show y'all around." She said walking away. I had to jog after to catch up. What was wrong with this school?
