Razor's edge

The first week

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The students were gathered at the castle of the two sisters. Ever since their first visit to the forgotten place; it had become a nice place for them to get away from the world. A way for all of them to relax together. And, after the week they had each of them needed to be here. Ocellus, Smolder, and Silverstream were each resting on a bean bag chair they had brought. While the others were playing a game of catch. Gallus seemed to be really focused on the game. For, there were times he would throw the ball to hard or suddenly start giving off competitive grunts.

Sandbar caught the ball and held onto it, “Gallus,” He spoke causing everyone to look at him, “Are you still upset about Tuesday?” He asked.

Gallus snorted loudly as he looked down to the floor, “Yeah.” He answered.

Silverstream then spoke, “I though you and Ocellus let that go,” She said as she looked towards said Changeling; who looked away from her, “Both of you know he didn't mean to embarrass both of you.” She finished.

To that Ocellus replied, “We know,” She sighed heavily, “It's just......you don't say something like that out loud.” She finished.

Everyone knew exactly what the two were talking about. It happened on Tuesday during their gym class with coach Rainbow dash. They were supposed to be with Miss Fluttershy after their gym class. Unfortunately, one of her animals had gotten sick and needed her. So their gym class was extended by an extra thirty minutes. During the second part of gym; was when everything happened.

(Flashback Tuesday)

“Fifty-five! Fifty-six! Fifty-seven!” Rainbow dash shouted as her and her class did push ups together.

For, her extended class period she chose to work on the students endurance. To start off; she was having everyone do One-hundred pushups. She would look up on occasion; just to see who was still going strong. So far all of them were still going. But, she could already see three of them starting to struggle to push themselves back up.

“Come on don't give up!” She shouted while also keeping track of the number they were on.

Each of them were grunting and groaning as their muscles burned from the repetition. Well, except for Gallus, Smolder, and Razor. It was expected from Gallus and and Smolder; simply because their species was known for their strength. While Razor stared blankly down at the floor. Rainbow smiled proudly at her students; each of them were doing their best to push past their limit. It reminded her of herself when she was still at the junior flight school.

“Ocellus.” Razor suddenly spoke.

“Yes, Razor?” Ocellus asked with a groan as she pushed herself up.

“Will you please stop staring at my flank,” He replied which caused everyone in the gym to stop; while he kept going, “I find it annoying when somepony stares at me.” He finished.

Ocellus had a huge shade of red stretch across her face. She could not believe he had just said that out loud. She wasn't staring at him.....was she? Yes, she would glance up to see how he was doing. But, she didn't stare at him. Especially not at his flank. She then heard Gallus snickering a little. Making her blush become more intense.

“Gallus can you also do the same.” Razor suddenly spoke.

Gallus immediately went quiet after Razor said that. Everyone was looking at him; possibly wondering why he was staring at Razor like that. It was at that moment Coach Rainbow dash had busted out into a fit of laughter. She knew it was wrong to laugh at her students misery. But, she just couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

(Back to the present)

It took Yona and Sandbar to hold him back. Never in his life had he wanted to beat somepony to a pulp so badly. But, after Razor had said that out-loud no less. He wasn't going to hold himself back. He did try to intimidate him in the boys locker room. But, that conversation went a completely different direction. Especially since Razor noticed something that he had completely forgotten about his own species. Apparently, sometimes during times of conflict. His species would go through a sudden state of arousal. Which Razor almost ended up explaining to him. Thankfully, Sandbar was there to pull him out of it.

Gallus sighed heavily as Sandbar walked up and patted his back. Gallus thanked him with a nod before walking over to one of the other empty bean bags. Groaning as he rested his body on it. The other two followed. That wasn't all Razor had done. Although their principal had asked them to give him a chance. They were finding it extremely hard to get along with the colt.

On Wednesday when Miss Fluttershy had returned; she introduced the class to some of her bird friends. When a bluejay had landed on his desk; it tweeted happily at him. Only to have him respond with his dislike of the color blue. They each could have sworn they saw the bird frowning. But, Fluttershy quickly cheered her bird friend up. Then, just before she was about to have all of the birds sing. Razor had put some earmuffs on his head. Yona, found that very rude and walked over to him. Just as the birds started singing she took his earmuffs off his head.

Razor then started to yell in discomfort. Saying that the singing was bothering him. To them it just seemed like he was being a brat. While for Razor; the birds combined tweeting was bothering him. He brought his hooves up to his ears and began making an annoying groaning sound. It was made worse by Yona; who tried to pull his hooves down from his ears. It caused him to yell at her; which made her back away. While Miss Fluttershy got her bird friends quiet.

Yes, it was hard to get along with him. It was not their fault that he was so.........so.......so different. They knew that was hypocritical even for them. Considering each of them were from completely different species. But, none of them had the mental condition Razor had. How could somepony say stuff that was so embarrassing out loud? And, how is it that he found birds singing so annoying. Razor was a pony that was completely different........and they just couldn't understand him.

Thursday went by without a problem. But, Friday he publicly humiliated Smolder. He said something embarrassing out loud in front of everypony in Ponyville and in front of Dragon lord Ember. All of that happened just after they were released from school for the weekend.

(Friday)

The students had decided to go out for something sweet at sugar cube corner. All of them-except for Yona- were at the local bakery. Smolder enjoyed a gem crusted cupcake. Ocellus and Sandbar enjoyed their milkshakes. And, Gallus enjoyed a slice of apple pie he had ordered. They ate in silence at first. But, Smolder eventually broke the silence.

“So,” She began getting the attention of the others, “Any of you have any plans for the weekend?”

They each shook their heads in response. It caused her to smile as a sudden though entered her mind.

“How about we all hang out at the castle,” She said causing the others to smile, “It's been awhile since we had hung out there.” She finished.

The others voiced their agreement with her plan. It was then that Yona had burst through the door. She had a look of panic as she raced towards the others. Who looked at her in worry. When she reached the table they could hear her panting loudly.

“Smolder,” She yelled as she tried to catch her breath, “Your lord dragon is here!” She yelled.

Smolder gasped loudly after what she had heard. What was Dragon Lord Ember doing in Ponyville. She was not aware of any visit or follow up report. So, why was the Dragon lord here. She was about to ask why she was here. But, Yona answered her question before she could even ask.

“Razor is speaking to her now!”

It was that statement that made her dragon blood run colder. She knew that if Lord Ember had heard him say his dislike of the color blue. He may start a war with the dragons and ponies. She moved faster than she had ever moved before. She slammed the door open and took flight. From above she looked for her dragon lord. She found her just outside of Principal Twilight's castle. She then saw Razor and immediately nosed dived. Before he could react; she tackled him down to the ground. Growling loudly as she pinned him down to the ground.

“Smolder!” Both Twilight and Ember shouted in surprise.

Smolder looked towards the two and saw the shock on their faces. She was about to respond; but Razor was the first to speak.

“This is unexpected Smolder.” He said in his emotionless voice.

Smolder looked down at him in confusion; while he looked back up at her.

“I know you had stared at me in class today and the day before,” He began which caused his principal and Ember to look at Smolder, “But, I did not know you wanted to get me on my back this quick.” He finished.

Smolder immediately became numb to the world. Given the position they were in; along with what he had said she had done. Everypony within ear shot of what he had just said; burst out into laughter. Even her own dragon lord laughed at what he said. She quickly got off him and flew off as far away as she could. Trying to put some distance between her and Ponyville.

(Back to the present.)

It was later that day she had found out about why Ember was in Ponyville. Apparently, Razor had asked Twilight about her connection to the dragon lord. He then asked Spike about it; then through Spike he had set up a small meeting. He was making a deal with dragon lord Ember for the trade of five hundred crystalline ingots and three hundred metal ingots. She did not know why he need those but she really didn't care. He embarrassed her in front of everypony. And, she was not going to forgive that......freak for that one.

Each of them were having a very difficult time adapting to Razor. They just didn't know how to talk to him or interact with him. He was different on so many levels. It had only been a week with him in the school ; and already they wished he was gone. They couldn't think of anything positive at the moment. Only, that the school year was going to get tougher because of him. Maybe he was right. Maybe they would start to grow to hate him. Maybe they would never become friends. Simply because he was just.....too different.
