The Chaos Experiment

After the surprising news with Uni, class continued on, ending without further incident and moving along smoothly.

Soon, class was followed by lunch, where the seven girls were enjoying lunch. Or at least they would be if Twilight wasn't currently taking her sweet time choosing a meal from the many options present on the line.

"Now let's see here..." Twilight said, pointing at each food on the line.

"Um...Excuse me, miss?" said the lunch lady with a nervous smile.

"Yes?" asked Twilight.

"You're...holding up the line."

Twilight looks behind her and sure enough, she sees a bunch of angry faces staring at her.

"Oh sorry. Ahahaha. I'll...just be a minute." twilight said, placing her hand behind her head nervously.

She quickly made her decision and made her way over to the table where her friends were. But, just before she made it to the table, she felt a force knock her over from the side. She fell over and hit the ground, followed closely by her lunch. Just as the thought crossed her mind that she was going to get splattered by the lunch she worked so hard to choose, it...didn't...happen?

She opened her eyes, which had been closed as she awaited what she thought was surely an unavoidable fate, and saw something that she thought shouldn't be possible.

Her tray was...floating. Floating in mid-air. Surrounded by a strange black aura.

And standing beside her prone form, smiling as if nothing at all was wrong, was Uni.

She got up and looked at him like he was some kind of new species, as she did with everything she knew nothing about.

"How are you doing that? Is it magic?"

"Yes."

She was floored. He had said it so bluntly that she was left speechless for many minutes before she finally made her way to her seat and sat in it, still looking at the kid who had become a phenomenon of epic proportions right before her eyes.

The rest of her friends were speechless too. They hadn't seen anyone do any magic for a while ever since Sunset's little freak out.They were in battle stances in an instant, but Uni just looked at them as if they were all doing some kind of spontaneous acting scene.

"Um...What's up, girls?"

"What's up is that you're using magic. And the only magic we know of to ever be here is Equestrian Magic." She whispered as she glared at the boy in front of her, who was now seated and was continuing his staring.

"Well, I am from Equestria after all. I don't see what the big deal is."

Everyone was immediately floored once more.

There it was again, his blunt statements. He was just so nonchalant. It was almost as if he had no sense of urgency at all.

"You're from Equestria?" Twilight whisper-yelled at him.

"That's what I just said."

"What is someone from Equestria doing here of all places?" Fluttershy asked.

"I was sent here a while ago and i've been here ever since."

"Sent here? By who?" Rainbow asked, still glaring.

"Yeah. I'd sure like ta have an answer ta that there question myself." Apple Jack said, adding her voice to the mix.

"I don't know...I just came here. That's all."

"yes, darling of course. We believe you." Came Rarity's voice.

Everyone looked at her "We do?"

"OF course we do. Now, we don't want to pester the poor boy do we? Let's eat. I'm sure our food has gotten cold by now anyway."

The rest of the day's classes went along nicely, and the eight friends sat with each other, talking and laughing.

Sunset went over to Uni, patting him on the back.

"Sorry about my friends." she said.

"It's fine. It's perfectly understandable that they would be suspicious of a guy with powers. I mean after all, I. Have. Powers."

"You do. And I'm kinda glad I taught you magic when I did, other wise you wouldn't have been able to save my friend when you did."

"That was nothing. Just being friendly I guess."

"Is that what you call it?" Sunset smiled at Uni.

"Yep."

Suddenly a voice could be heard over the chatter. It was close, and really sincere. Upon hearing it, both Uni and Sunset looked up to see none other than Twilight, standing in front of them with a sheepish look on her face.

"Thank you for helping me." She said, blushing and looking away.

"No problem. It's what friends do."

Twilight looked at him as thought she had just gotten hit in the face with a brick. A very emotional brick. And then...

She hugged him. She hugged him tight.

"Thank you so much!"

Uni looked at sunset.

"Help me...?"

"She hasn't had a friend outside of us since her own little magical incident."

"Oh really? what happened?"

"She doesn't like to talk about it."

"Oh I see-"

"Yo! Uni! What's up dude!"

All of a sudden, yet another voice cut through the sound of talking. Everyone looked over to see what it was, and there stood...someone Twilight never thought she'd see.

Uni knew the person as well, as soon they both said, "Lemon Zest!"

The two looked at each other, surprised that the other knew who it was.

They continued to talk in unison for a while.

"How did you-"

"Her-"

"She's my-"

They were both cut off by a simple. "Uni! How've ya been?! Hey Twilight, haven't seen you in a while."

Lemon Zest had come over to the two of them upon seeing them get up.

Twilight was the first to regain her senses from the shock she was feeling.

"Um...hello Lemon Zest. How are you?"

"I'm doin' great! Hey, Uni, wanna go hang out over there?" She pointed to some random direction and grabbed Uni's arm.

"Wait." Sunset said, shocking the three.

"What is it, Sunset?" Uni said.

"I understand how you know her twilight since you went to crystal prep, but how do you know her Uni?"

"Oh yeah right..." He pulled his arm away from Lemon for a moment to explain.

"See, I was here before you came Sunset."

"I know that. How do you know her?"

"I kinda...went to crystal prep before I came here. Like Twilight."

"What do you mean, like me. How could you possibly know that I went?"

"Um...I went there too. I saw you in the halls. Never got a name until now though."

"So, you wanna go hang out like we used to?" Interrupted Lemon.

"Sure. Let's go. I'll be off guys." He waved to the girls as he basically got dragged off by Lemon. He laughed. She was always enthusiastic.

The girls just took a moment to stare off at them as they moved further and further away.

Back with Uni and Lemon, the two were having a leisurely walk in the park.

Uni had no idea what Lemon considered 'hanging out", but he certainly didn't expect this.

"So? How are things?" He said nervously.

"Things are great. I've been having the time of my life at Crystal Prep. I miss you though."

"Really? We really didn't see each other much did we?"

"What are you saying?! We hung out like, all the time back then."

"Is this your definition of hanging out, Lemon?"

"Ah, well no. It's just that I felt like taking a walk with you. I mean, after all, we used to chill together too, ya know?"

"Ah, yes, now I remember." With that he stuck out his hand. Lemon knew exactly what he meant.

His hand was laid flat in the air, patiently awaiting her own as she slowly placed it upon his and they separated, followed by a rapid fire of the slapping of hands, and a fist bump.

"You remembered!" Lemon yelled, hugging Uni as he returned the gesture

"Yep, I remembered." He said.

'Yes, it is time for you to remember...' Came a voice from nowhere. Uni furrowed his brow in thought, earning a confused look from Lemon. Where had that sound come from?

'Remember!'

As soon as he realized that the voice had come from his own mind, something terrifying happened.

His eyes glowed, his body lifted into the air, and in a display of the most dangerous magic to ever exist, he exploded in psychic power, lifting everything around him off the ground and making it spin around him. Everything, including Lemon Zest.
