Poetic Poise and Ponyville

Morning arrived, Poetic knew that when she felt the sun in her face. She snapped her eyes open and took in her surroundings once again. She threw off her comforter and flew out of bed. Great, it was the first day of school. She landed on the floor after being a few feet into the air.

Arriving into the kitchen, she noticed a sticky note next to her saddlebag.

'Poetic, me and Puffycloud are running errands at the moment. There's some Apple Strudles in the freezer. -Melody.'

She got the strudels out of the freezer and popped a couple into the toaster, she jumped when she heard hoofsteps in the hallway.

"Po, where's Aunt Melody?" He said when he spotted the purple mare.

"Errands." She replied before turning back to the toaster. When the strudels popped up, she placed them on a plate, took a seat at the dining table and ate both of them quickly. After finishing them, she heaved the saddle bag on and flew out the door.

"Hey, no fair!" Choco Chip cantered behind her, attempting to catch up.

Poetic wasn't truly much of a flyer, or an athlete. But the thought of a first day of school made her rush. Flying several miles, she reached a clearing and  finally spotted the Ponyville Sky High School and landed, folding her wings. It was rather a large building. Ponies her age were crowding into the building. She stared at the school, wondering if she was going to fit in or not.

"Po! Wait up!" She heard running behind her, she turned around and found Choco Chip cantering towards her, out of breath. "Why didn't you wait for me?"

"I was TRYING to get here on time." Poetic snapped, with her hoof pointing towards the school.

Choco just sighed. "It's not even time for school to start yet, genius. Now if you need me, I'm going to go snag some breakfast from the cafeteria." He walked away. Poetic was alone, she glanced up at the clock on the building and noticed that she WAS more early then she intended to be. She walked to a section of the schoolyard that was next to the trail leading to the school entrance, and sat down. Suddenly, a scream howled behind her, before she even had the chance to turn around...

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH OOOOOOOOOUT!" The voice screeched before slamming into the purple pegasus. The two tumbled for several yards, when they came to a complete stop, Poetic found herself lying next to a bright yellow unicorn, who had a skate board lying lifeless next to her. Her mane was slightly wavy and orange, with red highlights. Her tail was the same and had blue eyes.

"Uh, I'm sorry." The mare said, standing back up. She looked down stunned Poetic Poise.

"Flameflight!" Another mare voice came in from the distance, half clouded by the other voices of ponies.

"Sora Sky." The firey maned pegasus called Flameflight gasped. Sora Sky flew in much more slower than Flameflight's speed and landed next to the unicorn. Sora Sky had a medium length curly brown mane with no highlights. Her tail was much shorter than her hair, but not too short. She had pink colored eyes.

"Flameflight, I told you to NOT go fast on that thing today. You knocked into somepony, as you can see." She lectured the similar looking pony.

"Excuse ME for having all of those energy drinks! Maybe I didn't want to fall asleep during class... unlike yesterday." Flameflight retorted.

"Next time, lay off those four hour Dragon drinks. They do much more harm than good." Sora spat back.

"Not important, Sora." Flameflight looked back down at Poetic, who was full focused again. The purple mare just stood up.

"I apologize for being in your way." Poetic said shyly while taking a step back.

"No, I'm sorry. I lost control of--." Flameflight's mouth was blocked by one of Sora's front hooves.

"My dumb sister didn't mean to hurt you, period." Sora said blankly while glaring at her sister.

Poetic's ears drooped and she narrowed her eyes in shyness. Suddenly, Flameflight's eyes shrunk at Poetic and she stood there agape behind her sister's hoof. She pushed it away.

"What is it now?" Sora rolled her eyes at her sister's sudden excitement.

"Are you... are you the adopted mare of Melody Song? Hm... what was the name? Poetry-- wait, no... Poetic Poise, right?" Flameflight asked.

"Melody Song? Poetic Poise? Adopted? Um... y-yeah." Poetic gulped.

"THE Melody Song? Of the rock band 'Disappearence'?" Flameflight replied.

"Yes." Poetic unfolded her wings a bit, wanting to fly away a little bit.

Flameflight's pupils grew bigger and bigger until they were the size of saucers and her mouth stood happily open. She let out a fangirl squeal.

"Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I read about you in the Tumbling Rock magazine." She squealed.

"I'm sorry?"

"There was an article all about you being adopted." Flameflight explained. Poetic gasped, now SHE was being chased by paparazzi. "I thought you looked like how the article described you. It's quite an honor to meet you. I'm a fan of your... mother's." Flameflight nodded, she then happened to glance to Poetic's flank.

"You don't have a cutie mark! Aren't you fourteen? You're in high school after all." Sora gasped as if she were to have read Flameflight's mind.

"I guess I haven't discovered my talent yet." Poetic softly bumped her hooves together repeatedly.

"We see that." Flameflight tilted her head. "I on the other hoof am a pro skateboarder!" She stood in a proud pose with the tip of her hoof on her chest. Her cutie mark was a skateboard.

"I am part of the weather team." Sora Sky added with pride. Her cutie mark was a heart with two clouds on each side slightly overlapping the heart.

"You must be new here." Flameflight said.

'Now you've noticed.' Poetic thought.

"Would you like a tour of the school?" Sora asked.

"Sure!" Poetic replied loudly. When she found her excitement, she toned herself down quickly. "I'd like that." She spoke much more quietly.

"What are you waitng for, then? Let's get going!" Flameflight said, trotting towards the school along with Sora Sky flying behind her. Poetic opened her wings to fly behind the two sisters. They entered the large doors of the school, it was MUCH bigger than it looked on the inside. The bulding actually had three stories, Poetic couldn't tell, but it looked like each floor had at least fifteen class rooms.

"What's your first class?" Flameflight stopped, forcing Sora and Poetic to stop.

"Mrs. Peach with science." Poetic said.

"Yes! That's my first period, too!" The flame-haired pony squealed. Sora glared at her sister.

"Our class, too." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah," Flameflight looked over at Poetic. "Want to meet our other friends." Poetic Poise hesitated, she had a difficulty when it came to meeting other ponies her age. But she nodded anyway.

"Great, let's go!" Flameflight exclaimed. "They'll be SOOO excited to meet the mare Melody Song adopted!" The yellow unicorn dashed away.

'Is THAT the reason why you're eager to be my friend so much?' Poetic silently sighed. She was curious of what Flame's answer would be if she really asked that, but she refrained from asking. She didn't want to start out school like that. Not acting like a stubborn donkey.
