Joey's POV:

"Hey kid, are you all right?" said a voice just outside the shed. Joey jumped in a startled manner. He turned to see a guy with orange skin and blue hair. He had that suave look, like he could just look at a girl and they would start swooning.

Joey looked around, then stuck his thumb into his chest. "Who, me?" he asked. The dude chuckled. "Well, who else is here?" he said, gesturing around. "You," said Joey, who was clearly unimpressed. The guy rolled his eyes, still smiling. "What are you doing poking around Stiffson Academy's remains?" he asked. "It's been closed for years. Do you even know where you are?"

"A little bit," Joey admitted.

He looked a little confused. "Do you need a ride? School doesn't start for an hour," he said. Joey shrugged. "I guess," he replied. The guy gestured for him to come out, which made Joey hesitate. What if this was a trick? How could he trust anyone here? Why would he trust anyone here?

Worth a shot, Joey thought. He followed the dude out, ready for anything. Turns out, it wasn't a trick. He had no backup. Hopefully the guy was taking him somewhere good...............like a fast food resturaunt. That shit sounded good right then.

The guy led him to a small five-seater car. "Shotgun," called Joey jokingly. The dude just just rolled his eyes again. "Shut up," he chuckled.

After a couple minutes on the road, the dude glanced at him. "I'm Flash Sentry, by the way," he said. "What's your name?" "Joey," Joey replied. "Where are you taking me?" Flash glanced over again. "To the school. That's where I have to be. Do you go to Canterlot High?" he asked. Joey chuckled. "I don't belong anywhere," said Joey. "So might as well."

After a couple minutes, Joey saw the school come back into view. Flash pulled into the parking lot, and they both got out. Joey looked around. "I hope those creepy girls don't come back," he muttered under his breath. "My social life is already on the fritz." Flash looked at him like he was crazy, then rolled his eyes again. "Careful," Joey said, "You keep rolling your eyes, they'll come right out some day." Flash chuckled, and waved him off. "Come on," he said, "School starts in a few minutes."

They parted ways, leaving Joey standing there, wondering what to do again. He looked back down the road, then at the school. "Ugh, here goes nothing," he sighed, walking towards the school.

That was the longest hour of Joey's life. Registration was easy, but a huge pain in the honk-donk. It took forever. The assistant principal, Miss Luna (also rang a bell, weird) would rant on and on about their school's history. All Joey could do was pretend like he was listening. Ugh.

Although he would of preferred that to this. He was sitting in the back of his homeroom, looking at his phone. Nothing better to do.

It didn't get any better when his homeroom teacher, Miss Cherilee, called him up to the front of the room. "Can I please stay back here?" asked Joey. Miss Cherilee shook her head.

"Class, this is a new student," she said, gesturing a hand towards Joey. He rolled his eyes right before he reached his unwanted destination. "Let's all give him a warm welcome!!" Miss Cherilee exclaimed. "Class, this is Joey," she continued. Joey grumbled slightly.

Everyone was giving him a smile, except for two snobby looking girls sitting in the back, one purple and one grey. When Joey saw them, he noticed them giving him evil smiles. Joey just gave them a smug smile, and that wiped the smiles off their faces. They had wild, confused looks on their faces then. It was golden.

"Thank you for introducing yourself, Joey!" she said with a huge smile. Joey hurried back to his seat. All this over joyfulness was creeping him out.

Miss Cherilee started a big lecture on how to find x in an equation, and Joey fell asleep. He woke up when the bell rang, and the kids all walked out of the classroom, chatting and laughing with one another. Joey made sure to stay behind the pack, slowly inching his way out the door. Then finally, he had freedom. But there was still a lingering problem.

Lunch.

He hadn't thought of it before, but he was really hungry. He hadn't had food........in at least 8 hours. He'd survive.

He proceeded to walk down the halls of his new school. He didn't want to stay here long. He almost forgot how boring school was. Ugh. He felt like his brain would dissolve and run out his ass.

He walked towards the giant horse statue, examining the place he first appeared. He sat down against it, trying to think. It was strange, the mirror, the horrible feeling in his gut.........he did not want that memory back. He shook his head in an attempt to rid himself of it.

When he was finished, he looked up to see the two snobby girls from earlier staring at him with those same evil smiles. "What can I do for you?" he asked. The purple one gave him a nasty look. "So you're the new kid, huh?" she asked. Joey rolled his eyes. "Oh, no," he said sarcastically, "What could've POSSIBLY have given it away?" She just sneered again. "Well, I just want to let you know that I'M the one who leads the freshman grade," she said, beaming. "They're really that stupid?" asked Joey.

Her smile melted into a scowl. "What did you say to me?" she snarled. "You heard me," Joey remarked simply, "I said that everyone must be pretty stupid to follow a priss-prass stuck-up motherfucker like you." She stomped her foot in fury. "YOU DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT TO ME!! I'M WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!!!" Joey shrugged. "Maybe so," he said, "But at least I don't walk around wearing fake prada on my head." The silver one stepped forward, clearly trying not to laugh. "Diamond Tiara, let's go. I don't think you're (snort) reaching him," she said.

Diamond Tiara snorted, still glaring at Joey. "Shut up, Silver Spoon," she said. "I can still take this. I'll read his mind if I have to." Joey put his hands behind his head, as if he were relaxing. "You can try," he said, "Even though my mind is so far above your reading level." Tiara screamed in frustration and stomped off. Silver Spoon looked back at Joey, shrugged at him, then followed her.

Joey took a deep breath and stood up. People who witnessed the scene were still chuckling a bit. Joey just half smiled back, and went somewhere where he could be alone.

If only that could be so.

He saw Applejack out of the corner of his eye, trying to catch up with him. He sped up his pace a little. He turned corner after corner, trying to lose her. He finally ducked behind a corner, thinking he lost her. That is, until he felt her hand on his shoulder. "Howdy, Joey!" she exclaimed.

"Fuck my life," muttered Joey.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Applejack just shrugged. "Since ya were new here, and ya didn't seem ta have a pack of any kind, I thought ya might need somethin' ta eat," she said. "I might," Joey stated matter-of-factly. "C'mon, then," Applejack said, gesturing for him to come along. "Alright, whatever," Joey sighed.

As she was leading him to the cafeteria, Joey heard a voice to his left. "Stop!" it said. "What did I do to you?"

"Your poor. You don't need garbage like this!!" said another voice.

A voice that was annoyingly familiar.

Joey turned in time to see Diamond Tiara sneering at another girl. The girl had curly hair that was a combination of light purple and white. Her skin was white as well. She looked like she was about to cry.

Joey tapped Applejack in the arm. "Be right back," he said. She leaned up against a wall. "I'll wait for ya," she said, putting a piece of straw in her mouth. Where the hell did that straw come from?

He walked over to Tiara, who was still chanting crap about the poor girl. "Won't you ever give up?" he said right in her ear. She jumped and turned quickly. "You," she snarled. Joey shrugged. "Who else?" he asked. "Someone has to give you a bunch of crap about you dicking around to people." Her face turned a darker shade of purple. "What do you want?" she said, clearly losing her cool fast. Joey scowled, and got in her face. "I want you to stop picking on others, no matter WHO. Do it again, and it will not be the first time I've hit a girl. Kapeesh?"

Tiara's face was pale now. She nodded quickly, and turned and walked away, shaking her head. Joey glared at her until she was out of view. Then he turned to the girl, who was still slightly recovering from the bullying. "You OK?" he asked. The girl looked at him, then developed a gigantic smile. "That.....was........AMAZING!!!!!" she exclaimed, giving him a bear hug. Joey stiffened immediately. The girl stepped back, blushing. "Sorry," she said. Joey loosened up again. "It's cool," he said. I'm just not a hugging person." He held out his hand. "I'm Joey, by the way," he said.

The girl shook it. "Sweetie Belle," she said. "Nice to meet ya. And thanks for scaring off Diamond Tiara. That was hilarious." Joey smiled at her. "Anytime," he replied, "She's just a big douche-bag." She just stood there, smiling and blushing.

"Well, gotta go," said Joey, stepping away, a little weirded out. "Applejack here is getting me lunch." Sweetie Belle still stood there, blushing really hard. That was odd.

Joey walked back over to Applejack. "Alright, let's go," he said, motioning her to come. "That's what I was about ta say," she replied. The two continued towards the cafeteria, talking and laughing. "Would you mind eatin' with my buddies?" she asked. "It'd be good fer ya." Joey shrugged. "Do I get to look at my phone the whole time?" he asked. She just snorted and rolled her eyes. "Just try and be social," she replied.

When they reached the cafeteria, Joey noticed all the different people all socializing as one. It was, Joey had to admit, one of the coolest things ever. People would also wave as they go by in the hallway, and they would all say "hi" or something like that.

"You sit down, and I will go get ya somethin'," said Applejack. Joey nodded, and headed toward all the other girls he met earlier. The one called Rarity came bounding up to him. "Did you really just diss Diamond Tiara TWICE?!" Joey looked at her like she was insane. Yah. Why?" he asked. Rarity took a step back. "Why, no one has EVER stood up to her before. It was just simply wonderful to hear something like that come from Sweetie Belle."

Joey just stood there, amazed at how she could talk so fast.

"Oh!!" exclaimed Rarity, clapping her hands excitedly, "She has something to ask you." She stepped aside, revealing a very nervous Sweetie Belle. "Well?" asked Rarity. "Go on!"

She walked up to him slowly, as if she was rethinking this. "H-hey," she stuttered. "I-I was w-wondering, um.....if.....you c-could.....no, want to...."

"C'mon, honey, spit it out," Rarity chirped.

Sweetie Belle sighed. Then she immediately straightened up and asked, "Do you want to go to the Fall Formal Dance with me tomorrow?"
