The New Student

"Hey I just remembered. Me and the girls are working on posters in the gym, wanna help?"

"Sure."

"Awesome, let's head there now."

When they entered the school and started walking to the gym, Danto thought he saw someone he knew walk around a corner.

"What is it?" Rainbow asked being concerned that Danto looked away in a different direction since she's never seen him to this before yesterday.

"Nothing, I just thought a friend of mine was here."

"Who?"

Danto sighed because this was one of the happy memories of his past other than his parents. "His name is Aldon, Aldon Gregario. He was my friend at my last school before he left because he had to move. I haven't seen him in a few years ever since. I think I'm just seeing things."

"Well, let's keep going. We don't wanna keep our friends waiting."

"Right."

As they both entered the gym, they saw Rainbow's friend making the poster.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Rainbow, Hey Danto."

"Hey. So what are you, or maybe we, doing here?"

"We're making posters for our after school programs."

"Cool."

Danto saw Sunset trying to help 3 girls with a poster and saw that they didn't really need her help.

"Sunset Shimmer Over Here!!!" Pinkie Shouted and waving her arm to Sunset on the other side of the gym.

As Sunset started walking toward her friend, Danto heard people saying her name and giving looks of disappointment and with a touch of anger.

Sunset groaned, "I had no idea the whole school would be here."

Danto thought, 'What could she have done that caused this?'

Pinkie and Rarity looked at each other and pick up the poster that they were working on.

"What a eye-catching advertisement, if I do say so myself." Rarity said.

"And it smells cake!" Pinkie said being happy as Danto could tell she is one for sugar based foods.

"It does?" Fluttershy then tried to smell the poster and had her eyes closed. Pinkie walked to her and put the poster on her face and as she took it of Fluttershy had some frosting and what looked to be sprinkles on her face.

"I used frosting instead of paste."

"Uh Fluttershy, you got a little somthin', uh..."

Fluttershy wiped her cheek to get some of the sprinkles off, "Did I get it?"

"Heh, Not exactly"

Sunset turned Fluttershy toward her and got a small towel and wiped her face from the stuff from the poster.

Danto chuckled quietly from what happened.

"Good afternoon Students!" a voice announced from the hall. "I just wanted to tell you all that I am pleased that so many of you are going to participate in the first ever Canterlot High School Musical Showcase." she announced as the student cheered for what is going to happen tomorrow.

Danto tapped Rainbow's shoulder. "What the Musical Showcase?"

"It's just a competition that helps us raise money for the after school programs."

"Oh." Danto said nodding and getting the idea of what it is.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for our after school programs here at CHS,"

"I guess you didn't need to explain it a second ago." Danto said letting out a chuckle.

"Yeah, I guess I didn't have to." Rainbow said chuckling as well.

"So keep working on those signs and poster. I think this is going to be one of the most exciting events here at CHS, since the Fall Formal."

Danto noticed that people started giving glares at Sunset as she was embarrassed and sat down with her head in her arms. 'What happened during the Fall Formal?'

Later on, Rainbow and her friends were heading to the band room to practice when Danto noticed someone that looked like Aldon.

Danto stopped and took a closer look, "Is that..." Danto walked closer to the person and did something Rainbow was surprised he got a response from it... "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck would chuck wood if he would know how to chuck wood if he would chuck wood?"

"Well, the woodchuck would chuck wood. But he would not chuck wood because if he would chuck wood the woodchuck would chuck wood incorrectly. Why do you..." He stopped and recognized the voice that asked that "Wait, say the original."

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck would chuck wood?"

He then turn around quickly and recognized who was asking him that.

"Danto?!"

"Aldon?"

"Hey!" Aldon shouted giving Danto a big hug and lifting him off of the ground. "It's been forever since I seen you man!" He said putting Danto down. "How've you been?"

"Well, despite the fact my back might be slightly rearranged, I'd say I've been good."

"That's great. How did you even get here?"

"Let's save that for later. Anyway, How have you been?"

"I've been great, this school has everything I could ask for. I was thinking of visiting you, but it looks like it's the other way around." He said chuckling.

"Yep." Danto said laughing slightly.

Rainbow tapped Danto shoulder, "Danto?"

Danto turned around. "Hmm?"

"Are you going to introduce us to your friend here?"

"Oh. Everyone this is Aldon, Aldon Gregario."

"Hey."

"He was a friend of mine at my last school, but he had to moved so we haven't each other since."

"Yeah, It's great seeing you here man."

"Thanks, now to have it the other way around for a minute." Danto walked to Rainbow and started introducing each of her friends, "This is Rainbow Dash or Rainbow for short."

"Nice to meet you."

"Same here."

Danto walked to Rarity. "This is Rarity, owner of Rarity's Boutique."

"Oh, you're the owner of that store."

"That's right Darling. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine."

Danto walked to Applejack, "This is Applejack or AJ for short."

"Hey, aren't you one of the Apple family members?"

"That's Right. Say, how did ya' know?"

"Your name is like that farm uptown, Sweet Apple Acres."

"I work there also."

"Nice."

Danto walked to Fluttershy, "This is Fluttershy."

"H-Hello."

"I see she stands by the name."

"Yes, Yes she does." Fluttershy showed a small smile as Danto went to Pinkie. "This is Pinkie Pie. We just call her Pinkie."

"Nice to meet-" Aldon was cut off by Pinkie shaking his hand vigorously and quickly. She was so excited, she even spoke quickly to a point where almost no on could hear her.

"Its so nice to meet you, I mean everyone has to have a friend in their life. So you're Danto's very first friend?" She said and asked quickly as she let go of Aldon's hand which was still shaking.

"Not first but," He spoke in a vibrating tone by his hand still shaking. Danto then held his arm so he can regain control from shaking. "Thanks. But I am one of his friends."

"Cool!"

Danto walked to the last person in line for the introduction. "And this is Sunset Shimmer."

Aldon gave her a slight glare and forced himself to give a handshake. "Nice to meet you." He muttered.

Sunset shook his hand and said "Nice to meet you too." in a slightly scared tone.

"Okay, I'm done waiting. What happened at the Fall Formal? I need a explanation now!"

Aldon sighed, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes please."

"What happened there was-"

"A accident I didn't intend to make." Sunset said cutting off Aldon.

"What?" Aldon asked her in disbelief.

"I was a bully that was basically ruling the school and was the winner of every Fall Formal there was. It was until a girl named Twilight Sparkle stopped me with herself and her friends, Rainbow, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie. I changed from then to now, but everyone is still upset about that and I don't know if they will drop it or not."

"Wow. I didn't expect that for a story."

"There's more to it. It's just... we won't explain it to you right now."

"Aw man."

"Sorry."

"You really didn't mean any of that?" Aldon asked to be sure he can trust her.

"No, that me isn't the me now. I hope you can forgive me."

Aldon had his hand on his chin to think if he can trust her or not. He sighed and said, "Alright, I guess I can believe you." as he extended his hand to make it a agreement. Sunset was happy and hugged him because this is the first person that isn't her friends to forgive something she didn't intend to do.

"Thank you."

"No problem." Aldon said hugging her back.

Rainbow cleared her throat, "Are we still heading to the band room or are we going to watch these two lovebirds hug some more?" Sunset and Aldon let go of each other and blushed from her saying that as Danto laughed at the idea.

"Danto..." Aldon getting ready to do something. "Do you want your hair more messy than it is?"

Danto then suddenly stopped laughing, "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me."

Danto then got the idea, "Okay, okay."

"Alright," Rainbow said, "Let's go to the band room."

Danto was going to go with them but was pulled back from Aldon, "You guys go ahead. I want to show Danto my friends here."

"Alright, See you later Danto." Rainbow waving at him.

"See ya."
