Canterlot High School

CHAPTER 6

In PE lesson, Taichi warms up his body.

“You must be Taichi Kamiya.”

Taichi looks at Soarin that walks towards him.

‘Soarin, co captain of Wonderbolt team and Rainbow’s boyfriend’ thinks Taichi.

“If you have time, come this evening to see our training,” said Soarin.

Taichi ties his shoe. They heard the whistle been blown

“Well, time to play soccer. Come on Taichi,” said Soarin

Applejack and Fluttershy watch the boys playing soccer. Rainbow Dash walks towards them and sits beside Fluttershy.

“What are you girls doing?” asked Rainbow.

“Watching the boys playing soccer. Especially Taichi,” said Applejack.

Rainbow Dash looks at Taichi that rushes towards the goal post as Soarin dribbles the ball.

“He’s good,” said Rainbow.

“Maybe better than Spitfire. Look, He can escape the team’s defense without any sweats,” said Applejack.

Rainbow Dash sighs.

“We have problem with our defense and our strikers can’t penetrate Griffin High’s powerful defense, Griffin Wall,” said Rainbow.

“But you think Spitfire will ask for help? Especially from newbie like Tai?” asked Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash sighs.

“That could be a problem,” said Rainbow.

After end of the last class, Taichi leans against his chair. Soarin and Rainbow walks towards him.

“I don’t know you can play that good,” said Soarin.

“You should join the soccer team,” said Rainbow.

“Sorry, not interested,” said Taichi.

“Come on Tai, you’re wasting your talent,” said Soarin.

Taichi just stands up and walks away. Rainbow sighs.

“He sure doesn’t like socialize with anyone,” said Soarin.

“He has a trust issues. That’s why the girls and I are trying to earn his trust. Right now, it is working,” said Rainbow.

“I want to help gaining his trust too,” said Soarin.

Taichi stops at Sugarcube Corner.

‘What should I eat for dinner?’ think Taichi.

“Pound! Pumpkin! Don’t go outside!”

Taichi chuckles.

“Pound and Pumpkin Cake. The children of The Cakes,” said Taichi as the twins run out.

He picks up Pound and holds her. Pinkie Pie walks out and sees Taichi with Pound.

“Thanks God you caught her, Tai but where is Pumpkin?” asked Pinkie.

Taichi points at Pumpkin that holds his head. Pinkie Pie picks him up.

“You’re a lifesaver, Tai. What are you doing here anyway?” asked Pinkie.

“Just wondering what I should eat for dinner,” said Taichi.

“Well, you’re in luck, we have new food. Come on,” said Pinkie as she pulls his hand inside.

At the hostel, Sunset Shimmer walks towards Twilight Sparkle that reads a book.

“Where is Tai?” asked Sunset.

“I don’t know. He’s not in his room,” said Twilight.

Sunset sighs. At the Sugarcube Corner,

“So, how was it?” asked Pinkie.

“It’s delicious. You are a good cook,” said Taichi.

“Thanks Taichi. Now help yourself while I take care of this twins,” said Pinkie as she walks upstairs with the twins.

Taichi eats the food.

“Excuse me, are you Taichi Kamiya?”

Taichi looks at A.K. Yearling that wears casual clothes.

“Yes. Can I help you?” asked Taichi.

A.K. Yearling pulls out 2 VIP ticket and gives it to Taichi.

“I hope you can come,” said A.K. Yearling as she walks away.

“Wait!”

A.K. Yearling looks at Taichi that walks towards her.

“Can I have another one? My 2 friends are your greatest fan so I hope I can bring them,” said Taichi.

A.K. Yearling smiles as she gives him another VIP ticket.

“Thank you,” said Taichi with a smile.

At the hostel, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash looks at Taichi that walks towards his room.

“Where were you?” asked Twilight.

“Sugarcube Corner, having dinner,” said Taichi.

“Why don’t you just cook?” asked Twilight.

“We can cook?” asked Taichi, shocked.

“Duh, we have kitchen in every dorm,” said Rainbow.

Taichi chuckles.

“You should have told me earlier,” said Taichi as he walks towards his dorm.

Suddenly he stops at the door and looks back at Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

“Say are you guys free this Saturday?” asked Taichi.

“Day or night?” asked Twilight.

“Night. Meet me at Canterlot Cinema. Don’t forget to wear a dress,” said Taichi.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash look at each other. Few minutes later at Twilight’s room,

“A dress? What is his plan?” asked Rarity.

“No idea. Did he know that I hate wearing dress?” asked Rainbow, irritated.

“I also hate wearing dress like you too, Rainbow but if he asks you to wear dress, it means he’s bringing you to something formal,” said Applejack.

“I’ll make the dress for both of you but did he already have tuxedo?” asked Rarity.

Back to Taichi’s room, Taichi closes his book as he leans against the chair.

“All homework done. Time to study all the clubs,” said Taichi as he types on his keyboard.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo look behind him. The screen shows the committee members of each club. He chuckles.

“Looks like the Cutie Mark Crusaders don’t have a club yet,” said Taichi.

“Who is Cutie Mark Crusaders?” asked Applebloom, shocking him as he turns around.

“What are you girls doing here?” asked Taichi.

“I ask you first,” said Applebloom.

“This is my room,” said Taichi.

Applebloom sighs.

“Fine. We just want to know why you always on your own?” asked Applebloom.

“That’s for me to know and for you to find out,” said Taichi.

“Come on Tai, don’t you want to make friends?” asked Sweetie Belle.

“Nope. Friendship is nothing but a load of lies,” said Taichi.

“What makes you think friendship is always a bad thing?” asked Scoolatoo.

“I don’t think. I know,” said Taichi as 3 of them pout.

Sweetie Belle smiles as she pulls his hand towards the door.

“Hey,” said Taichi.

“Come on. Let us show you,” said Sweetie Belle.

Both of them walk out as Applebloom and Scoolatoo follow them. As they walk out from the hostel and along the pavement, Taichi looks at the surrounding that shows how CHS students spend their time with their friends. Sweetie Belle smiles as she looks towards him and sings.

<Friendship Song>

They walks past the garden as Taichi sees the young children play with each other as Pinkie Pie holds both Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake on her arms. Sweetie Belle smiles as she stands in front of Taichi, still singing as Applebloom and Scoolatoo join her. Sweetie Belle pulls Taichi hand again as they walks towards the shop houses as she continue singing. Taichi looks at Sweetie Belle that still singing. After the song ends, Sweetie Belle looks at Taichi with a smile.

“Now you understand the friendship?” asked Sweetie Belle.

Taichi sighs.

“Sorry Sweetie Belle but action speaks louder than words and I still see friendship is a burden,” said Taichi as he walks towards the hostel.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo sigh. Applebloom flips up her cellphone and sends a message to her sister.
