Chapter One: Twilight's Last Day of School

Twilight Sparkle took a breath and stepped on to the grounds of Crystal Prep for the last time. She didn't know that this would be the last time ever, she only thought that it would be for the school year, for it was the last day of her sophomore year. As she was walking towards the doors, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey, Twi, you ready for summer?" Twilight's boyfriend, Flash Sentry asked.

"Eh, I dunno. I mean, I'd love to get away from the other students, but then again, I want to learn more." Twilight answered as they walked into the building.

"Yeah, that would make sense for you. Hey, have ya heard that the people from Canterlot Academy are gonna choose one of the students here to go to their school next year?" Flash asked as they headed towards their lockers.

"Wow, I haven't, but, wow! I mean, imagine actually going to Canterlot Academy! So many possibilities! Especially with their study abroad program! Imagine if you or me actually made it in!" Twilight said excitedly as she opened her locker.

"Well, you probably have a pretty good chance of making it in, it's really only for the straight-A students, and the students with the best reputations, so it'll probably be you or Sunny Flare." Flash said.

"But remember, Starlight Glimmer has some of the best grades ever seen, as well as a glowing record, she'll probably get in." Twilight said.

"Actually, she already has a scholarship, her old friend made it in a while ago, so her parents applied her, and she made it in." Flash explained.

"Man, I wish my parents would let me apply. But they want me to stay in the city, and not go all the way to Everfree." Twilight said.

"Yeah, and if only I would get better grades, then I could actually pass the entrance exam." Flash said.

Just then, the bell rang.

"Oh shoot! We gotta get to class! See you in biology!" Twilight yelled as she quickly ran to her math class.

Twilight was lucky that her math class was right by her locker, or else she would have to feel the wrath of her math teacher, Mrs. Harshwhinny. She quickly ran into the classroom and took her seat. The rest of the students filed in and took their seats. The seat next to Twilight, was taken by Starlight Glimmer, who smirked at Twilight, knowing that Twilight would never get into Starlight's new school.

"Alright, class, as most of you have heard, one of our students will be getting a scholarship to Canterlot Academy. Today, as it is the last day of school, I will be choosing the best student in my class for the scholarship. Now, naturally, Starlight Glimmer would be the the best, but she already got accepted into Canterlot Academy. So the second best student in my class, is non-other, than Twilight Sparkle, Twilight, you have my vote for Canterlot Academy. I wish you well." Mrs. Harshwhinny said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Harshwhinny." Twilight said while trying to keep her excitement contained.

"But Mrs. Harshwhinny, Sunny Flare is the best in the class, she had the best grades, next mine of course!" Starlight protested, not wanting Twilight to go to the same school as her again.

"Well, just because Sunny Flare had the best grades, doesn't mean she has the best reputation, or that I like her that much." Mrs. Harshwhinny said.

"Fine, whatever." Starlight said as she slumped down into her seat.

"Now, I have a treat for you all." Mrs. Harshwhinny said as she got something out of her mini-fridge.

Twilight was on her way to biology when Flash caught up with her.

"What?! Mrs. Harshwhinny gave you guys ice cream?!" Flash asked when he noticed the ice cream cone that Twilight was licking.

"Yeah! And guess who she nominated for that scholarship?""

"Lemme guess, Sunny Flare."

"Nope, it was yours truly!" Twilight said excitedly.

"You got nominated?! That's amazing! Congratulations!" Flash said as he hugged Twilight.

"Hey! Careful of the ice cream!" Twilight joked.

"Heh, sorry, I wonder who's gonna get nominated in bio." Flash said as they walked into the classroom and took their seats.

In every class, Twilight got nominated, in some as a second choice to Starlight, in others as a first choice, in a couple of Sunny Flare's classes, she was nominated, but not all of them. The last class of the day was canceled for the whole school, due to an assembly. Twilight and Flash sat next to each other, of course. Then, the school's principal, Principal Cinch, walked up to the microphone.

"Good afternoon, Crystal Prep, first of all, I would like to wish you a well summer vacation, as well as say goodbye to one of our best students, Starlight Glimmer. And, I would like to announce that I will no longer be this school's principal, I have been offered a teaching job at Canterlot Academy and have gladly taken up the offer, as long as one student gets to come with me,and today, the teachers have nominated who they think should get the scholarship, I have nominated, and the Canterlot Academy teachers and staff have nominated. And the student who gets the free scholarship to Canterlot Academy is non-other than Twilight Sparkle!" Principal Cinch said.

"Twilight! That's amazing! You got the scholarship!" Flash yelled as he hugged Twilight.

"I won? I won! I actually git the scholarship!" Twilight yelled happily.

After the final bel rang, most of the students ran to their vehicles and drove to the beach, but Twilight and Flash decided to drive out to the cliff to celebrate.

"Wow, I can't believe that we actually survived another year here." Twilight said as she sat down at the edge of the cliff looking over the city.

"Yeah, me neither, I'm so proud of you for getting that scholarship." Flash said.

"Yeah, but this does mean that we'll be separated for a year, or more if I pass finals." Twilight said.

"Oh, right. Will we have to break up?" Flash asked.

"I don't know, I mean, I don't want to, but we really don't have a choice, most couples don't do well over long distances, and Everfree is a five hour drive away." Twilight said.

"I know, but I was just hoping that we would at least finish high school together." Flash said solemnly.

"I know, but this is a once in a lifetime experience, I can't just pass it up" Twilight said.

"But you couldn't just stay for me?" Flash asked.

"Flash, you know that I can't do that, I've always wanted to go to Canterlot Academy, and I finally have that chance, I can't just pass it up for a high school romance!" Twilight said, her voice rising.

"But can't you just make a sacrifice for love?!" Flash yelled in anger.

"We're in high school, Flash! And I am not gonna let you act like we're in a cliché love story!" Twilight yelled back.

"I'm not! Now why can't you just stay at Crystal Prep with me?!" Flash asked.

"Because I want to go to Canterlot Academy! And because I want to be away from people like you!" Twilight yelled as she ran to her car and drove off.

Chapter Two: Rainbow's Surprise

Rainbow Dash was running home after her last day of Cloudsdale High because she had just planted a stink-bomb in the principle's office after the final bell rang. She was running as fast as she could so she wouldn't have to face detention, as much as she wanted to see the principle's face, she had pranked him one too many times. So, after she heard the bell ring, she booked it to her house, and she never looked back. When she got home, she noticed that both of her parents were standing in the living room, a rare thing since they were always fighting.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad, what are you doing home from work, and what are you doing standing within a five-foot radius of each other?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, this morning we got a call from your principle notifying us that you were excepted into Canterlot Academy." her mother said.

"I what? I'm not even half as smart as those eggheads! How did I get excepted?!" Rainbow asked.

"Well, since your way better and more successful twin sister, Rainbow Fire, got excepted last year, the people there decided to except you in so that you could be with her, as well as learn in a better environment." her father said.

"Wait, isn't Canterlot Academy a boarding school that's in Everfree?" Rainbow asked fearfully.

"Uh-huh."

"And don't they do uniforms?"

"Uh-huh."

"And aren't they a really old-timey school for smart kids with different divisions?"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, great, I'm going to be going to Hogwarts, School of eggheads and over-achieving smart kids." Rainbow pouted.

"Oh, Rainbow, it won't be that bad, hey, I hear they have a really good sports program!" her father said.

"Oh, honey, that's for the boys, they do sports for girls, they say it wastes precious time that they could be thinking." her mother whispered.

"Oh, great. As if being a junior wouldn't be torture enough." Rainbow mumbled.

"Well, I'll complain to the school, and you can start a protest!" her father said.

"No! She should be like her sister and think! I lied about the sports so she wouldn't think about taking them! You know I hate them." her mother yelled.

"Well, maybe she would do better if you would let her do soccer instead of mathletes!" her father yelled back.

"Ugh. Why did I ever marry you?!"

"Because you said that you loved me! But I guess you were lying, how about we just file for divorce!"

"That's fine with me! Good luck in court!"

"I'm gonna go to the bomb-shelter now." Rainbow said as she ran upstairs to her attic-bedroom. Once she got there, she dialed a phone number, but no one picked up.

"Damn it, Soarin! You haven't picked up since you disappeared in the sixth grade!" Rainbow yelled as she threw her phone across her cramped bedroom.

Just then, her father climbed up the ladder into her room.

"Hey, I know things seem pretty bad with your mother and I, and that's partially why we applied you Canterlot Academy, so you wouldn't have to deal with our fighting. And, I have some good news." her father said as he sat down on her bed.

"What is it?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, for starters, we bought you a new phone to replace you battered up, crappy flip-phone, it's the new Orange phone 7. And, I finally heard from Mrs. Skies about Soarin." her dad said.

"You did? What did she say? Where did he go? Did he get a new phone? Why hasn't he called me?" Rainbow asked excitedly.

"Well, first of all, they moved to the United States four years ago, and he did get a new phone, but it wasn't able to call you, and second, for high school, they sent him to Canterlot Academy." her dad said, he then waited for Rainbow to explode with a happiness, and that she did.

"Omigod! I get to see Soarin again! Yes! Whoo-hoo! This is the best news that I've ever heard in my entire life!" Rainbow yelled excitedly.

"And, the reason why he didn't call you when he came back, was because your mother blocked his number on your old phone, so he and your sister could get together. But, from what Mrs. Skies told me, they did nothing of the sort." her father said.

"Excuse me while I go yell at Mom." Rainbow said as she climbed down the ladder.

Rainbow's dad could hear yelling commence downstairs, and it was ugly. Rainbow said some stuff, her mom said some stuff, but in the end, Rainbow got grounded for being "unladylike" Rainbow climbed up the latter, crying. Her dad hugged her.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I won't take your phone away and you won't be grounded around me." her dad whispered into her ear.

"Thanks." Rainbow said.

"Now, I have some things that I need to take care of." her dad said as he climbed down the ladder.

"Well, I should probably start packing for school then." Rainbow said.

"Yep, oh, and there's a surprise for you in your closet." her dad said.

"Sweet!" Rainbow said.

Rainbow opened her tiny closet to find a new duffle bag, and a new soccer ball, as well as a new laptop.

"Yes! I am gonna love Canterlot Academy!" Rainbow said in excitement.

Rainbow began to pack for a her new school, even though to was only the last day of school.

Chapter Three: Rarity and Fluttershy's Delight

Rarity was sitting shotgun in her brand-new Lamorghini, being driven home from her school in Crystal springs by her father.

"Oooh! Daddy! I am so excited for the summer! I already had a line of bikinis designed! And I can finally go shopping at the mall with my friends all day! And the beach parties with the hot jocks! And then next school year will be the best!" Rarity said excitedly.

"Well, Rarity, I have some news about next school year." her father said.

"And that is?"

"You won't be going to Crystal Springs High, you'll be going to Canterlot Academy." her father said.

"Wait, you mean that I get to go the best school in the world?!" Rarity asked excitedly.

"Yes, yes you do."

"YES! I can't believe that I actually got excepted! I mean, that's amazing! And I get to go to Everfree! Wow, I could design an entire fashion line based on the school itself! I could even study abroad in Paris!"

"Yes, you actually got the best grade during finals, and you also have a glowing reputation, so I applied you, and you got excepted."

"Thank you Daddy! But, wait, what about Sweetie Belle? She needs my help with puberty and boy problems!" Rarity said.

"Right, but that's why she has friends, and I did buy her a brand new Orange phone so she could text you."

"That's great, but didn't you invent the orange phone?" Rarity asked.

"I did, and I designed it just for you two! I call it: the Orange phone Bond."

"Why that?"

"Because it's built especially for you two! And there are only two in existence, one personalized completely for you, and the other for Sweetie Belle."

"Oooh! I can't wait to see mine!" Rarity said as they pulled into the driveway of their large mansion.

"Yes, I assume that you will like it."

Rarity and her dad made their way into their large parlor, and were greeted by their maid, Fluttershy.

"Hello, welcome back, Sweetie Belle is up in her room, and her teacher told me to tell you that she has done great this year, and that she will be missed once she goes off to junior high. I have not told her about Rarity, or her new phone yet, I thought that you would like to tell her yourself." Fluttershy said.

"Thank you, and, I would love to tell you that you have made it into Canterlot Academy along with Rarity."

"I have?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, your private homeschooling program that I made for you really paid off, I saw your high test scores, and applied you to the school! I'm so surprised that you could school yourself, and clean up around here! I am so proud of you."

"No, thank you! But who will keep things clean around here while I'm gone?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, I've decided to hire your little brother, Zephyr Breeze as our "maid" I think he's old enough, after all, he is going into his sophomore year of high school."

"I don't think that's a wise decision." Fluttershy said.

"Yes, Daddy I've met Zephyr, and he's well, a procrastinator." Rarity said.

"Nonsense! If I pay him the right price, he'll do anything!"

"Oh, boy." Fluttershy said.

"Well, we should go tell Sweetie Belle, Daddy, would you like to come with us?" Rarity asked.

"It's alright, you and Fluttershy can go do it, oh, and the phone's are in the safe."

"Got it! And thank you so much Mr. Diamond." Fluttershy said as she and Rarity walked over to the safe.

"Sweetie Belle! I'm home!" Rarity said as she knocked on Sweetie Belle's door.

"Come in, big sis!" Sweetie Belle said excitedly.

Rarity and Fluttershy came in and sat on Sweetie Belle's giant bed.

"So, aren't you excited for summer?!" Sweetie Bell asked.

"Yes, but I want to tell you that I got excepted into Canterlot Academy." Rarity said.

"Oh, you did?" Sweetie Belle asked, her happiness fading.

"Yes, I won't be around next school year." Rarity said.

"But you promised that you would be three for my awkward years!" Sweetie Belle said.

"I did, and I will, Daddy designed to brand new phones just for that, Fluttershy?" Rarity said as Fluttershy revealed the two new phones.

"Wow! And mine's even personalized just for me! But, you still won't be there in person. At least I'll have Fluttershy!"

"Well, not exactly, she got excepted too." Rarity said.

"Oh, so you're leaving me, alone?"

"Well, you have the Orange phone Bond, that's good, right?"

"But after you leave, I won't be able to see you in person until, like, Christmas!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Yes, but-"

"No buts! You promised, but you broke it for some fancy-schmancy school!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"But Sweetie-"

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

Rarity and Fluttershy ran out of the bedroom and into Rarity's.

"I just don't know what to do." Rarity said as she sat down on her bed.

"Well, I think you should go, you'll still be able to see each other, and doesn't your father own an apartment in Everfree?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, yes, but still, Everfree's a five hour drive away, and Sweetie Belle has school here, in Crystal Springs." Rarity said.

"Well, I guess you're right. Anyway, I should get you packed, and to the uniform store!" Fluttershy said.

"Oh, I can pack myself, you go pack your bags, and then we can go to the uniform store together." Rarity said.

"Thanks, Rarity, you're a great friend." Fluttershy said.

"Well, I always try!"

Chapter Four: Pinkie Pie and Applejack's double surprise

Applejack was working on her family's farm when her grandma, Granny Smith came out with a letter in her hand.

"Applejack! You got a scholarship to Canterlot Academy!" Granny Smith said.

"Ah did? How? I've been home schooled, and ah wasn't very good." Applejack said.

"Well, you know that foster girl from the bakery, Pinkie Pie?"

"Sorta."

"Well, her foster parents went to Canterlot Academy, and they twins of their own, so they said that they wanted two scholarships for them, but they just go two, and their twins are only babies, so they gave one scholarship to Pinkie, and they wanted to give the other to you." Granny Smith explained.

"Wow, that's amazin'! Why would they be so nice?"

"Well, because they knew how poor of an education you had, so they wanted you to have a better one at Canterlot Academy." Granny Smith replied.

"Wow, ah better go over and thank 'em!" Applejack said as she grabbed her truck keys and took off for the bakery.

Applejack made it to the bakery during rush hour, luck AJ. She ran in to find Pinkie Pie at the front counter taking an order.

"Howdy Pinkie! Are yerr folks around?" Applejack asked.

"Oh, you mean the Cakes? They're in the back baking some cookies, you can go back there if you want." Pinkie said.

"Okay, thanks." Applejack said as she ran into the back room where the Cakes were.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Cake." Applejack said when she walked into the back.

"Oh! Hello, Applejack, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"Oh, well ah just wanted to thank you for giving me that scholarship! Y'all didn't have ta do that." Applejack said.

"Oh, but we did! We knew that you had had such a poor education, so we decided to give the extra scholarship to you." Mr. Cake said.

"Ah feel like ah should do somethin' in return for ya." Applejack said.

"Oh, no need, we felt like we should just do it for you, no charge." Mrs. Cake said.

"Ah can babysit the twins for ya!" Applejack suggested.

"You could?" the two asked in unison.

"Yeah! Ah could even do it right now!" Applejack said.

"Well, if you insist, they're up in their room, upstairs, you can use the home phone to call Granny Smith and tell her that you're babysitting." Mr. Cake said.

"Alright, I'll go do that." Applejack said as she ran upstairs.

Applejack ran upstairs to find that the twins had destroyed the place.

"Oh, brother."

A few hours later, a frazzled Applejack walked into the dining part of the bakery.

"Man, those twins are crazy, ah can't believe ah agreed ta that." Applejack said.

"Ha! Welcome to my world! You wanna free cupcake?" Pinkie asked.

"That would be nice." Applejack said.

Pinkie Pie got two cupcakes and sat down in a booth with Applejack.

"So, how'd ya end up in home school?" Pinkie asked.

"Well, after Ma and Pa passed, they left us in a lot of debt, as well tripling the work on the farm, so we ended up nearly closing down, but ah dropped out of school and had Granny home school me so ah could help out on the farm, and it never stopped."

"Wow, I guess that makes sense."

"Yeah, how'd you end up in foster care?" Applejack asked.

"Well, I was born on a rock farm, but I was too different from my parents. They were serious and boring, but I was fun and exciting! But my parents and sisters, except my bestie as well as big sis, Maud, didn't like that. And so they put me in foster care. And I was passed on from family to family until I ended up with the Cakes, I've learned to tone down my "craziness" a little bit, so I don't have to leave." Pinkie Pie explained.

"Wow, that's pretty crazy." Applejack said.

"Yeah, I mean, my family is different from me, but I still love them, I just wish they knew that." Pinkie Pie said.

"Yeah, but I guess that's what life will do ta ya."

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how did your parents die?" Pinkie asked.

"Oh, they got in a car accident a long time ago. Ah just wish that they listened to the radio, and didn't drive in the storm." Applejack said sadly.

"Oh, that's tough. You know, I kinda hope that we'll be roommates at Canterlot Academy." Pinkie said.

"Yeah, me too. You seem like a nice person, and we seem to have some things in common, ah guess." Applejack said.

"Yeah! We should hang out more often! Like, maybe you and I could make a batch of apple-flavored treats!" Pinkie said happily.

"Yeah! You wanna do that now?" Applejack asked.

"You bet I do! Let's go!" Pinkie said as she lead Applejack into the kitchen.

"Okay, so whadaya wanna make first?" Pinkie asked.

"Um, how about some apple fritters." Applejack suggested.

"That sounds amazing!" Pinkie said as she the ingredients in a flash.

"Alright, let's get baking! Hey! We should make a cooking show!" Pinkie said.

"Um, let's just bake the fritters first, how about that?"

"Okey-dokey-lokey!" Pinkie said.

And so the new friends began to bake. After the finished the fritters, they made cupcakes, dumplings, and anything that you could make with an apple. By the time they had finished, it was already nine o'clock, and Applejack needed to get home.

"Bye Pinkie! See ya later!" Applejack said as she got into her truck and drove off.

"Alright, ah finally made a new friend!" Applejack said to herself.

Chapter Five: Hello, New Roommate! (Part One)

Twilight Sparkle took a breath. She unlocked the door to her new dorm. She was blown away, like she had been with rest of the ginormous school. The first thing she saw when she walked into the dorm were three, giant, four-poster beds with a blue and yellow comforter and pillows. The second thing she noticed was an entire mini-kitchen complete with a mini-fridge and microwave-oven. There were also three large, wooden desks with supplies in them. Then, she saw a stand complete with a small TV, this place was amazing. Twilight chose a bed, and sat her stuff down on it. She started to unpack when someone opened the door and walked in.

"Hello, darling, my name's Rarity, what's yours?" Rarity asked as she walked into the dorm.

"Oh, hello, I'm Twilight, nice to meet you, Rarity." Twilight said as she shook Rarity's hand.

"Wow, this place is simply magnificent! I could design an entire fashion line based only on this room!" Rarity said as she set her purse down on her bed.

"Um, is that all you brought?" Twilight asked, noticing Rarity's purse.

"Hardly, you can bring it in now, Timber Spruce, was it?" Rarity asked.

"Yes." a voice said.

The voice came from a giant mound of bags and boxes, or someone carrying a mound of bags and boxes.

"Um, where did you get someone to carry all of that stuff?" Twilight asked as she watched the mound of bags wobble around.

"Oh, there was this nice man in the lobby who offered to carry my bags for me." Rarity said.

"I thought she only had about five bags, not fifty." the voice said.

Just then, the mound of things toppled over, revealing an exhausted teenage boy with green hair and pinkish-orange skin. Twilight rushed over to help him up. Their eyes met, and they immediately blushed a little bit. There was complete silence, until Twilight adjusted her glasses and introduced herself.

"Um, hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, I new here."

"Well, since you introduced yourself, why don't I return the favor, my name is Timber Spruce."

"Well, hello, Timber Spruce, would you like a hand or are you just gonna sit there?" Twilight asked playfully.

"Oh, I can get up myself."

"Alright, suit yourself."

"Well, um, if you two are done, I think I can handle the unpacking, Timber Spruce, here is 500$ for your services." Rarity said as she handed Timber a roll of cash.

"Thank you, so much. And Twilight, I hope I'll see you around!" Timber said as he shot Twilight a wink an headed out.

"So, he's pretty cute." Rarity started after Timber left.

"He's okay, kinda cocky if you ask me." Twilight said while trying to hide her blush.

"If you say so."

Just then, the door opened and a girl and her father walked in.

"Wow, I really am at Hogwarts." the girl said.

"Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle, and this is Rarity, we're your new roommates!"

"Oh, hello, my name's Rainbow Dash, I'm new this year."

"Oh, I am too!" both Twilight and Rarity said.

"Great! It looks like you three already have something in common! Well, bye Rainbow, I gave Mrs. Skies your dorm number so she could give it to Soarin, she said he'll be by around ten, okay?" her dad said.

"Okay. Bye Dad, see you at Thanksgiving!" Rainbow said as she hugged her dad.

"Bye." her dad said as he walked out of the dorm.

"You know, this actually does kinda look like Hogwarts." Twilight said.

"Yep, now where do I sleep?" Rainbow asked.

"Um, it looks like you'll be sleeping in by the closet." Twilight said.

"I'll trade with her!" Rarity said hastily.

"Um, okay, I guess." Rainbow said as she set her duffle bag down on her new bed.

"So, who's Soarin?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, Soarin, he was my childhood friend, but then, in the middle of sixth grade, he disappeared, and I only just found out three months ago that he moved to the U. S. but then he came back to go to school here." Rainbow explained.

"I see, so he'll be here around ten?" Rarity asked.

"Yes."

"Well, that's in thirty seconds." Rarity said.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, Rainbow froze.

"I think I know who it is." Rarity said.

"I'll get it, just in case." Twilight said as she opened the door.

Twilight opened the door, and standing in the doorway was a tall, handsome, teenage boy about the girls' age. He wore a navy blue long-sleeved tee-shirt to match his navy blue hair. Rainbow stood frozen, staring at the boy.

"Um, I think I know the answer, but is this Rainbow Dash's dorm?" the boy asked.

"Yes, I take it you're Soarin, Rainbow's childhood friend that disappeared when you were kids." Twilight said.

"Yep, that's, that's me." Soarin said.

"So, you gonna talk to Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked.

"Oh! Right, hey, RD, it's been a while, hasn't it?"

Rainbow gulped. "Yes, it has, you look taller, and less nerdy."

"Haven't heard that one. But, all of the girls here do seem to swoon whenever I walk into the room." Soarin said.

"So, uh, we have some catching up to do, don't we?"

"Yeah, I think some is an understatement. But we also need to you know, unpack, and stuff, can I get your number?" Soarin asked.

"Sure, only if i can get yours." Rainbow said.

"Did you just try to be smooth?" Soarin asked.

"Maybe, but how 'bout you? Haven't seen you try to be smooth in a while." Rainbow said, trying up her game.

"Well, no, I mean, it has been four whole years, so, that is a while. And a while you've gone without seeing this beautiful face." Soarin said while gesturing to his face.

"Oh, please, you act like you actually looked good in sixth grade."

"Oh, so you admit that I look good?"

"Did I specifically say that you look good?"

"You just did."

"Let's continue this battle over the phone, I have unpacking to do. Here's my number." Rainbow said as she handed Soarin her number.

"And here's mine."

"Alright, we will continue this later."

"That we will." Soarin said as he bowed as he walked out of the dorm.

Rainbow totally exploded once the door was closed.

"Holy hot tamales, my childhood friend got Neville Longbottomed. He also got Hiccuped, wait, does that even make sense?!" Rainbow asked.

"Depends on what context you're using that in." Twilight said as she unpacked her books. "Wait, what context are you using it in?"

"Have you seen both How to Train Your Dragon movies?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes-ohhh. I get it now."

"Just wait until he's twenty." Rarity snickered.

"You shut up." Rainbow said.

"Okay, I will, for now."

"You better. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some catching up to do." Rainbow said as she sat down on her bed and started texting.
