"Pinkamena wake up it's almost time for school dear!"

Her Mother called as Pinkamena's eyes slowly opened before she sat upright on her bed. She looked around the room and jumped out of her bed as she began to walk towards the mirror that was near her bed.

Pinkamena was a normal mare, with a pretty normal life.
She couldn't think of herself as 'special'. She sucked and she knew it, but it didn't matter. Pinkamena then grabbed the brush near the counter before she brushed her straight mane.

Once she finished she trotted out of her room and into the hallway, she inspected the hallway as if she hadn't seen it in her whole life. Strange, definitely strange, she wasn't much of an inspector but she couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable as if she didn't recognize her own home.
Ridiculous.
Pinkamena then turned her head and saw a picture frame. It was her, her sister's and her parents.

Pinkamena winced in slight pain as she looked at the picture, it reminded her how lonely her life is now. She only lived with her mother now too.

Her sister's Maud and Limestone have already started new lives, and Marble was kind and smart and even went to a better highschool then her. She would always be outshined by them but her Father...she sighed as she then trotted out her home to meet her Mother outside.

"Pinkamena dear, please get ready sooner. You do not want to be late for school do you?"
Cloudy asked as Pinkamena walked out with a blank expression.

Pinkamena shrugged, in all honesty she didn't care if she was late for school.
Cloudy sighed. " Come now Pinkamena we must get to school" she said before walking, Pinkamena following after her.
Cloudy was Pinkamena's Mother and also worked as a teacher for the same school she attended. As the both ponies walked to school Pinkamena looked at the ponies of the town as they waved at her and her Mother. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable again, why? She's seen these ponies her whole life..then why was she feeling like this?

As Pinkamena's mind became filled with questions she didn't notice that she had made it at school before Cloudy snapped her back to reality.
"Pinkamena were here! Now go to your classroom ok?" Cloudy then hugged Pinkamena before letting her go to class.

Pinkamena trotted down the hallway before looking at the door infront of her before sighing as she then opened the door.
Inside was her classmates all sitting down. There were also two seats that were not filled and a Mare infront of the classroom who was the teacher.
"Now- oh! Pinkamena we didn't think you'd come today! Anyway we will be working in groups for this assignment so choose a partner"
The mare said, smiling as she looked at Pinkamena. All she did was shrug once more before walking around the room to find a partner.

She first went to Minuette since they both are usually partners most of the time.
"Yo Pinka! Come to school earlier! I had to partner up with Carrot top haha..! Now she keeps turning to me and saying "Howdy partner!" Like a cowgirl haha.."
Pinkamena frowned slightly, well that's a no.. She passed Carrot top, already knowing she had a partner before arriving to Moon Dancers desk.

Moon Dancer was reading a book before looking up at Pinkamena
"Taken" was all she said before continuing to read. Pinkamena sighed and walked over to Sky Drop desk
"You know that Sky and Moon are ALWAYS a team! We're like a good duo!"
Pinkamena just looked at him with a blank expression before moving on the the next pony which was..Derpy.

"So sorry! But Derpy already has a partner!" Pinkamena looked around the classroom and noticed there was two other ponies she hadn't asked yet, she looked at the Derpy with a confused expression before noticing the muffin next to her.

Oh. Right.

She then proceeded to go over to Fluttershy and decided to ask Rarity last. "Oh! Pinkamena.. did you lose your pencil again? Do you want the one with lights on it or..Oh! You want to be partners? Sorry Rarity asked me already"
Pinkamena expected that.
"B-but I can ask Ms. Cheerlie to make it a group of three!"
Pinkamena nodded.

"Ok!" Fluttershy smiled before looking at Cheerlie. "U-um Cheerlie is it ok to have a group of three?"
Rarity's ears perked up before looking at Fluttershy and Pinkamena.

" wait what?"
Cheerlie looked up from the book she was holding and looked at Fluttershy.
" I'm sorry Fluttershy, I didn't hear you..what did you say?"

Rarity then quickly spoke. " She said were fine just being alone!" She said, smiling.
"o-oh um n-no I just wanted to s-say.."
"Fluttershy can you please speak up?"
"I-i..-"

Suddenly a loud sound was made from the doorway as a rainbow maned pegasus walked in. Cheerlie looked at the mare with a nervous expression.
"h-hi rainbow d-dash..."

Rainbow Dash looked around the classroom before looking at Cheerlie.
"Am I late?" She asked with no proper emotion.
"U-uhhh no..we were j-just choosing partners for our projects for this month a-and umm Pinkamena! Your with Rainbow Dash!" Cheerlie said quickly.

Rainbow Dash just looked at Pinkamena, both of them having a blank expression.
"great" Cheerlie smiled and then proceeded to walk towards the chalkboard.

She then looked around before a nervous expression appeared on her face. " U-um has anypony seen the chalk? This is the third time this week it's gone missing a-and.."

The students just looked at Cheerlie.
"How about this! If nopony says anything everypony will get in trouble!"
The room was dead silent.
"P-please..? Anypony?"

"Um I think there's some chalk in the supply closet.. maybe Rainbow and I-"

"Great idea Fluttershy! Rainbow since you were the last one to come in could you please get the chalk for me?"

Cheerlie said as she looked at Rainbow, smiling. Rainbow sighed.

"Whatever" She said as she then walked out, slamming the door once she left.
"A-and Pinkamena could you please go and make sure she a-actually gets it..? Thanks.."
Pinkamena sighed before walking out of the classroom.

When Pinkamena was now out the classroom she camly began to walk before stopping once she saw Rainbow.
She was smiling as she then got some chalk and ate some before turning to look at Pinkamena.
"Pinkamena... didn't see you there" she said looking around before looking back at Pinkamena. "Hey..you didn't see anything just now ..did you..?" She asked as she looked at Pinkamena who made no reaction and continued to look at Rainbow with a blank expression.

"Hmm... You cant even say?"

Her smile was still on her face.
"Pinkamena..."

She then began to walk towards Pinkamena as Pinkamena began to walk back. "Hey.."

Rainbow then placed her hoof on Pinkamena's shoulder.
"Let me tell you a secret.."
Rainbow whispered before throwing her right into the locker which made a big sound as she did so.

" Quite ponies piss me off"

" You think just cause you don't say anything...I can't tell exactly what your thinking, ' it's OVER! I caught Rainbow eating ALL the chalk! This was her last chance! Now she'll FINALLY be expelled!'
Haha.. come on Pinkamena. Don't act shocked, you know it's true."
Rainbow said grinning as she looked at Pinkamena.

" Everypony's waiting for it.
Everypony wants it."

" So congrats Pinkamena, you got me, I'm done for."

She said tilting her head slightly too see Pinkamena's face but it remained the same. Emotionless.
Rainbow laughed silently.
"Just lemme say one thing, seems like a waste to get expelled just for having a snack y'Know?"
She said expecting Pinkamena to respond or show a reaction but still her face was the same.

"So Pinkamena.. if I know your going to pull the trigger...." She chuckled.
"Why don't I just get expelled for some REAL carnage..?"

"Pinkamena...."

"How do you feel..."

She lifted her hoof.
"About losing some teeth?"
She grinned as she looked her in the eye before quickly punching Pinkamena, but she didn't. She stopped as her hoof was now infront of Pinkamena's face.
"Heh..nah" She said as she dropped Pinkamena before taking a few steps back.

"That would be stupid... besides you have a great mother y'know? It'd be a shame to get her worried." Rainbow the turned to look at Pinkamena once more.
"Let's just get some chalk okay? Oh yeah and when we get back to class.." she grinned once more.

"...YOU will do our project, how does that's sound?"
Pinkamena sat there silently before opening her mouth to reply but was interrupted by Rainbow.
"Don't bother answering if you didn't know by now,
Your choices don't matter"
Pinkamena sat there silently, repeating the same exact words in her mind.

'your choices don't matter'.

"Now hurry up let's get that chalk" Rainbow said before she flew away towards the supply closet.
Pinkamena just sat there a bit longer and thought about what just happened, she shook her head before standing up and trotting towards to where Rainbow should be. She couldn't help but wonder off to where the filles and colts classrooms are but stopped when she heard Rainbow.

"What? Though those classes would be better for you? Hm actually- maybe I'll go with you, might even find a better partner there" she said as Pinkamena looked ahead and giggled silently at what Rainbow said. Gladly Rainbow didn't hear her.

"Im kidding just get over here."
Pinkamena sighed before having her blank expression on again once she trotted towards Rainbow.
"Wow you really do walk slowly..what? Not used to holding your mother's hoof freak? Just hurry up."
Pinkamena then quickly followed Rainbow before arriving at the supply closet. Something felt wrong, when both Rainbow and Pinkamena were infront of the supply closet it felt, strange, it made both of them uneasy.

"Heh..it's pretty dark in there huh? So are you going to go and get the chalk or what?" Pinkamena could tell that Rainbow was slight afraid as well as she heard her tone but she still slowly took a few steps back, her eyes locked onto the closet.

"Y-you afraid? H-hah Well then I guess I'll just-" Rainbow looked at the supply closet before turning to look at Pinkamena.
"You know what?!? We will just go in together okay!" She said nearly yelling as both her and Pinkamena walked in.
It was dark and there was some papers on the floor.

"See nothing to be afraid of dumbass! Just some papers that's all..damn I can't see a thing. Let's try searching for that light switch." She said flying more into the closet as Pinkamena followed.

Pinkamena looked around the place and felt uneasy as she continued following Rainbow. Not bothering to try and find a light switch. They then continued to go more into the closet before Rainbow stopped which also made Pinkamena stop.

"Heh I think this closet is um broken- Well we've worked hard enough. Let's just head back and tell Cheerlie that we couldn't find any chalk"
Rainbow then flew back and so did Pinkamena but once they were close enough to the door it suddenly shut.

"What the.. HEY! LET US OUT! THIS ISN'T FUNNY IT-" Rainbow stopped yelling once she felt a sharp pain coming from her wing she turned to look at her wings before looking at Pinkamena.
"I-"

The ground then began to shake before the papers slowly started to fall. "What the hay!" Rainbow screamed before trying to flap her wings so that she could fly but she couldn't! Rainbow grunted as Pinkamena just stood there looking at the ground before they both fell down, Rainbow was the only one who screamed once they fell obviously.
