FLASH SENTRY THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ISSUE #1 Written By: SpideyFlash

"Flash. FLASH!"

A kid. A seventeen-year-old kid is startled awake. Startled by a deep and gravely voice. His eyes promptly open and he lets out a startled, yet very exhausted "Huh" He looks over to his left where he saw his Father. Arms folded, sternly look on his face. The kid blinks a few times. Letting out a yawn before responding.

"Morning."

"You're darn right it is." His father. A brown-haired man wearing a suit replied. "Your mother and I have been trying to call you for ten minutes. You don't wanna be late on your first day do you?"

The kid looked at his clock. It'd originally been set to 7:00 and it was already 7:21. He rubbed his eyes again. Getting a clearer look at it. Both his eyebrows rose at the realization.

"Oh...."

"Yeah. Now come on. Get up and get ready. Your Mom made breakfast." His father started for the door. Exiting the room and closing the door behind him.

Flash Sentry. The kid sitting in bed beneath the covers. With blue distinctive hair. The very, very tardy student. Sighed. "Man even now I still suck at this."

Flash ran down the stairs. Now having put on a basic navy jumper and jeans. His hair was less messy but still spiky nonetheless. He went straight to the table. It was there his father sat, on a tablet reading the daily news. His mother meanwhile, manned the stove. Cooking the last meal for herself. She had the same distinctive blue hair as Flash. She wore her regular. A tank top and grey sweatpants.

Upon seeing Flash come downstairs in a hurry. She chuckled, making a sarcastic remark. "So uh, what's the rush. You got school or something."

Flash's stopped, midway through pulling up a chair for himself. "Very funny. Are you two really gonna not let me live this one down."

His Dad chuckled while keeping his eyes fixed on the screen. "Well taking into account all the other times we've been through this. Which approximately adds up to 1095 whole days minus the 156 Weekends since you started High School. Then yes, we really won't let you live this one down."

Flash sat in the chair and rolled his eyes before going ham on his breakfast. "No mercy."

His Mom. Named Sabrina Sentry. Chuckled again before turning back to the stove. "Well, Flash think of it as a trait that comes from your Dad."

Flash's father nearly choked on some egg he'd already put in his mouth. Glancing at his wife. Speaking with his mouthful. "What?"

She turned around giving him a smug smile. "Oh yeah. When Lucas was your age he'd practically rush into morning classes at the last minute. Not to mention all the dates he kind of also came late to."

Flash's Dad, Lucas. Had his mouth hang wide open. Giving her the 'wow how could you' look. Meanwhile Flash began to snicker.

"Wow, Dad. Seems like the tables have turned." Said Flash.

Lucas rolled his eyes and folded arms. Giving Flash a smirk. "Okay, Wise Guy, enough with the slick evil act." He put all his attention back onto the Tablet. However, something came to mind and he glanced back at Flash. "But speaking of school. Do you want a ride? I'm heading to work anyways."

Flash looked at the Clock that stood above their television. It was almost 7:50 and a free ride did seem pretty great so he nodded. "Yeah sure."

Lucas grinned. "See what happens when we come to a mutual agreement. "

Flash chuckled shaking his head. "Oh brother."

Canterlot High

7:50 AM

Canterlot High. The only resident High School in the suburbs of Canterlot City. The schoolyard was flooded with students. As the first day of school had arrived. With tons more flooding in.

One particular student. A girl with long and very unique red and yellow hair beelined across the schoolyard. Spotting one of her friends in the distance.

Twilight Sparkle. Resident Genius and a member of one of the hottest High School Bands out right now, "The Rainbooms." Was on her phone. Alternating between texting her friends and her boyfriend. That was until she felt someone completely piggyback her. Along with that, cover her Glasses. She screamed as she didn't know what was going on.

"GAH! PLEASE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. BUT I HAVE SPARE CHANGE IN MY BAG SOMEWHERE. JUST DON'T--"

A slight raspy female voice interrupted the freaked out girl. "Hey, Twi! What's up."

Twilight was about to continue screaming. But after hearing the voice she recognized who it was. "Oh...Hey Sunset.......wait. SUNSET?!"

The girl that 'jumped her'. Sunset Shimmer got off of Twilight's back. Twilight almost immediately went in for a hug. Jumping up and down while repeating the words "Oh My Gosh!" over and over again. Getting a laugh out of Sunset.

When they broke off the hug. Twilight right then and there asked about Sunset's summer. "Oh my god. It's felt like forever since we talked. How've you been? How was Equestria?"

Sunset stretched her arms and replied. "It was kinda like my first summer here. I haven't been there in so long I kinda forgot what it was like. Anyway, how about you?"

"Well, I did some college tours. Honestly, it's between ESU or CTU. And well you know...kinda went up north to Everfree to stay with Timber for a few days."

Sunset chuckled. Folding her arms and giving Twilight a smug look. "Of course you did."

"Shut up." Twilight giggled, "And let me say: I'm never undermining the greatness of cottages ever again! It was great!"

"Oh yeah? Just the two of you alone in a cottage up north?"

Twilight sighed and pointed both hands at Sunset. "Only a few minutes and you're already doin' this to me."

Sunset shrugged very carefree. "I cant help it"

Meanwhile in the just beside the sidewalk. A 2001 Black Camaro pulled up. In it was Flash and his Father. Flash chuckled looking at the time on his phone. "And just in the nick of time." He was about to open the door and head for the schoolyard. That was until he was stopped by his Dad.

"Wait Flash! Wait."

Flash glanced at his Dad confused. "Yeah?"

His Dad sighed. Putting his hand on Flash's shoulder and giving him a genuine smile. "I just wanted to let you know. That me and your Mother are really proud of everything you've accomplished over the past few years. Now I know I've joked about you going to Canterlot Tech. But in all seriousness. Whichever College or University you choose. We'll stand by your decision and send you off proudly knowing that you're happy with it. And when this is all said and done and when you move out. Our door is always opened for you to come back at any time."

Flash exchanged the same smile. Nodding. "Thanks."

Lucas's smile only grew wider. He gave Flash a pat on the shoulder. "Alrighty. Uh, remember you still live under our roof. So curfew is 8:00 sharp. Stay out of trouble and have fun!"

Flash exited the vehicle and waived to his Father. Watching the vehicle drive off into the distance. He turned around heading towards the building with a positive attitude.

That's when in the distance, his gaze fell onto the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. The one in the distance with that distinctive red and yellow hair. That girl. Sunset Shimmer. His lips formed a flustered smile and his cheeks went a little red. "Sunset....Shimmer..."

Then, he fell forward. His eyes widened by surprise as he tripped on someone's foot. He yelped.

"Woah!"

He fell to the ground where he was then met by laughs. But he recognized those laughs instantly. It was his Bully and his cronies. Curly Winds. The Star Quarterback for the Wondercolts Football team. Flash's eyes narrowed. "Yup. This is Canterlot High alright. Aw man just when I thought things were looking good too!

Curly Winds. A much more physically imposing teen with dark blue curly hair and light blue skin. He laughed with his cronies. Laughing at Flash's expense. "Gee this never gets old."

Flash sighed. "Hey there. Curly Winds."

The Jock picked up Flash by the collar. Putting him on his feet. But then he proceeded to give him a noogie. "Ey Sentry! Long time no see. How was your summer? Did ya learn how to stand on both feet?"

"No--"

"Uhhhvvveee course not!" Curly Winds interjected. "Still the same gullible dumbass as always." He turned to look at one of his cronies. A kid with the same dark blue hair but lighter blue skin. Sporting a soccer jacket. "Ey did you know that this kid is the geekiest guy on planet earth."

Soarin, his cronies sarcastically shrugged and responded. "Nah I ain't know that shit man."

Curly Winds let go of Flash laughing off everything he did and walking past him with his cronies. Flash regained his composure. Glaring at Curly Winds while he wasn't looking. "Just one more year Flash. You can make it!"

Canterlot High's Hallways were crowded, to say the least. Everyone was talking to one and other. Most topics of discussions were usually about the first days of a new school year. Mainly the subject of other people's summers. Or how the freshmen were entering a 'New Chapter in their lives' and that they were scared. The usual.

Flash made his way through the crowded hall to his assigned locker. The same one he had had for three years. The same lock combo and everything. He put his backpack on the ground and began rotating the dial to the lock.

While he wasn't looking. He was approached by a student. Micro Chips. Another resident intellectual of Canterlot High. In the eyes of some other students, he was your typical cliché nerdy student. "Y'Know you don't have to keep the same locker. Right?"

Flash turned around. Smiling at the student. "Well yeah. But I also don't wanna memorize a locker combo every year. Soooo, Imma just keep this one. He glanced away for a moment to throw his jacket in the locker. Closing it and glancing right back at Micro Chips. "So what's new with you?"

The two began walking in the same direction despite the fact they had different first-period classes. "Not much since our last confrontation a week ago."

"Besides carrying a thesaurus?"

The two turned around to see their other friend. A much taller kid with green dreadlocks and a red beanie. He pretty much had a hipster-Esque look going on. To add to that he was one of the eco-kids of the school. Serious of how the environment is treated.

He caught up with the two. Continuing from before. "Cause let's face it, bro. You use words that are never said in a casual sentence. Like ever."

Micro Chips shrugged. "The teachers like it. I'm contempt with it. I see this as an absolute win Sandalwood."

"Whatever you say, man." He cleared his voice. Changing his tone to a sarcastic one. "So, how was your summer's?"

Flash chuckled. Smugly glancing at Sandalwood. "You mean for the parts you weren't there for?"

Sandalwood shrugged to that. Giving himself praise. "I'm Hilarious."

The first bell rang. Meaning all students had better get to class. Flash glanced at both his friends. "Well, I better get going. I'll Catch up with you guys later." They both nodded and all went their separate ways.

Flash walked down the hall for a while before finally stopping at his first class. "Alright, Twelfth-grade Geography....Studies of World Issues." He looked at the gold plaque on the door. To see who'd he be having for a whole semester. That's when his shoulders dropped. "Mrs. Harshwhinny." He sighed, "Oh man I do not have a good feeling about this."

He walked through the door of Room 165-G. Looking inside to see the class that he'd have for the rest of the semester. So far, it looked pretty great. No sign of Curly Winds or any of his cronies. Most of the class were either student he'd never talk to before, a small number of new students and.

"SUNSET SHIMMER?!"

The same girl from before. The one he stared at from afar, was in his class. He stood there dumbfounded. Not believing what his eyes were seeing.

Of course, she didn't sit alone. With her was one of her friends. Applejack. A blonde farm girl wearing a straw Stenson hat and some flannel. Leaning back into her chair with her feet on the table. Casually conversating with Sunset Shimmer. Flash stood there at the doorway, staring directly at her. Losing any focus he had before.

Until...

"Excuse me......HEY!"

Flash's eyes widened as he was startled for the second time. He turned around to see his Geography Teacher. A tan-skinned lady with short blonde hair. With a clad of a purple blazer and skirt. And a very sour demeanour with a very gruff voice. Flash's shoulders dropped at the sight of Ms. Harshwinny. His Geography teacher.

"Uhhh..." He raised his hand and put on a nervous smile. "Hi there, Ms. Harshwhinny."

The teacher sighed. Crossing her arms, "Mr. Sentry. What is the one rule that I've established for all my classes?"

"Umm...." Flash nervously giggled. "That standing and or moping around isn't an option?"

Her lips formed a smile. "See, you've already done me one favour. Now if you could do another and just use your head and find a seat" There was a hiss at the s of 'seat'. Causing Flash to wince. But Harshwhinny regained her composure afterward. "Then we can all get started with class."

The very scared and wide-eyed Sentry slowly nodded. Turning around, he marched towards an open desk. It was right at the front of the class. It was the only desk with two empty seats but luckily for an introvert such as Flash. He plopped his bag on the desk and sat right down.

Just as the bell rang. A Rainbow Blur quickly dashed through the doorway. It stopped, revealing Rainbow Dash. The too athlete of Canterlot High. And the self-proclaimed queen of awesome. She cheered for herself upon entering the classroom.

"YES!" She put her arms in the air. "I made it! Wasn't late for a second"

Harshwhinny sighed. Pinching the temples of her nose. "Misses Dash. Starting off the year on a tardy note I see."

Rainbow Dash's eyes widened while she kept her proud grin on her face. She turned around and nervously chuckled. "Uhh...Ms. Harshwhinny. Um, you see I kinda had a late morning so I uh. Yeah, that's my excuse. Um, you know this Summer really wore me out."

"Mmm yes, I'm sure your so-called 'excuse' would make for an excellent English Report in Mrs. Cheerilee's class."

Rainbow Dash's face lit up. Promptly giving the Teacher a prideful look. "Well that means a lot to--"

"Would you take a seat!" Harshwhinny interjected. "Please, might I add."

Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide again. She quickly nodded before turning around and grabbing the closest seat. Right next to Flash.

Flash glanced at Rainbow Dash. He glanced away a second later. He honestly didn't mind her there. Rainbow Dash meanwhile, glanced back at Sunset and Applejack. The two of which were quietly snickering at Rainbow Dash's expense. Prompting the Rainbow maned girl to simply stick out her middle finger as a response. Only adding fuel to the fire.

Ms. Harshwhinny closed the door and walked towards the chalkboard. Introducing herself to the students. "Class. As most of you know by now. I am Ms. Harshwhinny of the English and Social Sciences Department of the school. And for this Semester I will be your Teacher." She wrote her name on the chalkboard, along with the Course Code. She turned around to further address the class. "By now, most of you have had me for Tenth Grade Academic English. So most of my rules and teaching styles should be fond of you. But for those new here. I have a few rules:

• Standing and or moping around isn't an option. We do something new every day whether you like it or not.
• Don't talk during lessons.
• If you aren't here, then check in on our class website for work or lessons the day before.
• Make sure to have a valid reason on why you were away
• During work weeks, I give most of my students till the end of the week to hand in any unfinished work.
• If you're disruptive at where you sit I will move you. No threats are given whatsoever.
• No being on your phones during class time. Unless permitted
• No eating during class.
• No drinking anything but water during class.
• If you're late you'll owe me the number of minutes it took you to get to class, after class.
• No taking long washroom breaks. The same rule applies to be late.
• Every Report should be in Academic Paper Format. (If you don't know what that is, look it up on your own time)

But other than that you should be good for the semester." She smiled.

Some of the newer students stared at the chalkboard wide-eyed at the 'few rules' Ms. Harshwhinny introduced to them. Meanwhile, the other students all seemed to be contempt with all of those rules as they had to follow all of that a while back.

"Now, let's hope you all have a good memory." She promptly erased the chalkboard and with that, her name and all the rules. "Because without further due. We will begin class immediately with an in-depth analysis and introduction on this course and some work that'll be due tomorrow." She pulled down the projector screen. Walking over to the desk at the corner of the class, she started for the computer. "Just conversate while I get everything in order. But don't get too loud."

Flash opened his bag, reaching for his notebook and a binder. But upon sticking his hand in there, he only found one of the two items. His eyes widened. "Oh no." He rose from his seat a little and leaned forward, just enough to see in his bag. His shoulders dropped to only seeing that his notebook was the item in his bag. He sighed again. "Oh my god I forgot my Binder!? A man so much for a perfect first day!"

He collapsed back into his seat. Pulling out his notebook he simply dropped it on the table and opened the first page. He pulled a pencil out of his pant pocket. A custom of his, before promptly pulling his chair in. He then began doodling up a title page for his notebook. Something that'd help him pass the time.

It was there, Rainbow Dash finally realized who she was sitting next to. She smiled, giving Flash a greeting. "Hey, Flash. Didn't see ya there."

Flash glanced at her upon hearing the greeting. "Oh...hey."

Rainbow Dash leaned back in her chair. Deciding to start a little small talk with him as a means to pass the time. "Man, Harshwhinny am I right?"

Flash shrugged in response. Cracking a small smirk. "I mean, she's not so bad."

"Not so bad?" Rainbow Dash replied. "Uh, I'm not sure about that one chief. I mean she's kinda uh..." She didn't know how she could put it nicely, Harshwhinny wasn't exactly her favourite teacher. Though at the same time, she could not muster up anything too profane for her case. "Well I mean you've seen how she acts, right?"

Flash shrugged again and responded "I mean...I guess. But maybe there's a justifiable reason for it."

Before Rainbow Dash could respond. The teacher called for everyone's attention. "Okay, class. Now let us begin with our presentation." The two looked away and glanced at the projection screen. "This is, Studies on World Issues."

The clock had now struck at 10:25 AM. Flash had powered through two classes already. Geography and English. The two were mostly chill classes. Aside from Geography, Flash's English teacher: Mrs. Cheerilee. Seemed pretty nice and wasn't as strict.

But now. This is where the fun began for Flash. "Finally! 12 U Physics. This is gonna be a blast!
He entered a classroom on the fourth floor of the school. Room 482 S. He wasn't only just hyped because this class was gonna be good. But also, because he finally had a class with his friends. Sandalwood and Micro Chips.

Entering the classroom. He searched the room for his friends. The class was quite packed. Flash smiled at the fact. "Looks like other people have the same great taste in classes."

Then. Hearing his name being called out. He turned around to see Micro Chips and Sandalwood waving at him. In between the two was a seat that they saved for Flash. The Blue-headed teen smirked. Starting for the middle row desks. He sat down in the open seat. Plopping his bag beside the chair and addressing the two.

"What's up nerds?"

Micro Chips chuckled. "Takes one to know one."

Flash let out a chuckle himself. Turning around to address the elephant in the room, "And since when have you ever taken University level courses?"

Sandalwood folded his arms. "Since you, two F-Wads decided that you were too good for eleventh-grade college courses." He then leaned back in his seat. "And besides. I easily aced most of those classes. How hard can University courses be?"

"You passed with B's" Micro Chips pointed out.

Sandalwood glared at Micro Chips. Flailing his arms around. "Yeah, that's still good! Alright were all not born geniuses you... Fuckin'.... Point Dexter!"

Micro Chips chuckled. "Whatever you say, hippie."

Sandalwood gave Micro Chips the finger. Getting a laugh out of both Flash and Micro Chips.

Then came another student entering the classroom. Twilight Sparkle. She searched around the room for a seat. But in doing so. She spotted Micro Chips. Her School Rival. A mischievous smirk grew on her face as she began to approach the student.

Flash and Micro Chips were still laughing at Sandalwood. Seeing him mad and agitated was like watching comedy at it's finest. Anytime Sandalwood is angry. It's funny to watch. But, they were then interrupted. Interrupted by fists slamming onto a desk.

The three all were startled by it. But upon seeing whose fists it were. Micro Chips' lips formed a smirk. Glancing up at Twilight, narrowing his eyes on her. "Looks like someone's come back for revenge."

Twilight leaned forward. Hissing at him. "You may have gotten the higher Grade Point Average, last year Micro Chips! But I just got a late start, that's all! This time, you're going down."

"Whatever you, say. Twilight!"

She leaned back. Walking away with. She spotted both Flash and Sandalwood. Her tone thereafter changed. Turning a lot more friendly in demeanour. Nodding to both "Flash, Sandalwood."

She walked away. Leaving the two Vincent Tong-voiced teens speechless. Meanwhile, the James Kirk-voiced teen who bore a poker face in all that. Crossing his arms as he watched her leave.

Flash glanced at Micro Chips. Commenting on the new elephant in the room. "What...was that?"

"Hmm?" Micro Chips glanced at him. "Oh, pfft. Nothing, don't worry about it."

"But--"

"It's nothing." Micro Chips persisted. "Were just having a friendly competition. Nothing more."

Sandalwood sarcastically chuckled. "Yeah. Friendly. Both of you looked like Kareem and Wilt."

"Sandalwood, think nerds here." Flash joked.

Micro Chips rolled his eyes and gave Flash the finger. "Fuck off."

Again. Like most other classes. It was mainly just an introductory class. But of course, he did end up with some paper-work so to speak. Not anything that would take years and years. But it would probably take a while to finish up. Especially given the fact that he hasn't used his Brain productively in a while.

But finally, came the break period. The one time where Flash could relax and reflect on the morning.

Lunch!

The Cafeteria was, as usual. Filled to the brim with students. Both apprehensive and gung ho about this time of day. Flash along with his two other friends made their way through the cafeteria. Finding a table to reside at.

"And that's why iPhones are trash."

Micro Chips arched his eyebrow. Shooting a quizzical look at Sandalwood, "So you're telling me, that the iPhone. The most innovative phone of the 21st Century is trash because you think Apple is purposely slowing it down."

"Yup." Sandalwood nodded.

Micro Chips let out a long and heavy sigh. "You do know that any device tends to slow down over the years, right?"

"Pfft, that's what you think." Sandalwood promptly pulled out his new phone. A bezel-less android phone. "But this thing is where it's at."

"Oh yeah, a big bezel-less phone." Micro Chips rolled his eyes, "Look it's not just about aesthetics. The iPhone gets the job done, it's also a lot more secure than an Android."

Sandalwood glanced at Flash. "Ey, you're on my side right?"

"Oh no!" Flash shook his head. Promptly pulling out his daily driver. A phone with a vibrant yellow shell. "I switched to Windows Phone a long time ago! Ain't no way I'm throwing myself in Apple vs Android!"

The two looked even more baffled at Flash than they were themselves.

"Windows?!" "Windows?!"

Flash rolled his eyes, "HEY! I'll have you know that this is Lumia 1020! This shit cost me!"

Micro Chips again was still pretty baffled by this development. "Flash seriously, who in their right minds would get a Windows Phone."

"Well, at least I'm trying something new." Flash retorted, "Alright what do you have, Oh! You're Space Grey iPhone 7 and uh, You're Pale Purple S9."

Sandalwood rolled his eyes, retorting back. "First of all it's Lilac. And at least mines does not look like a Banana."

"Well, at least mines is a Primary Color." Flash promptly put his phone away. "But still, I ain't trying to go back to the whole Apple vs Android. I'm Windows all the way."

Micro Chips sighed to that. "Alright, now that we know Flash is senile. How about we actually eat Lunch."

Flash rolled his eyes. Mumbling quietly to himself. "Y'all disrespecting The Windows Phone like that..."

The pair all pulled out their own respective Lunch Boxes. And needless to say, they all had varying Lunches...

For Flash, he packed a club sandwich and a Juice Box for himself. Sandalwood packed himself a Tofu Salad and can of Coconut Water. And finally, Micro Chips packed himself a thermos containing his drink of choice and a Wrap.

Flash glanced at Sandalwood's lunch, letting out a chuckle. "Well, I can't say I'm totally surprised."

"What?!" Sandalwood shrugged, "Alright don't you dare judge my lunch! Tofu Salad is lit as fuck!"

Flash rolled his eyes, "Yeah, whatever you say, hippie." Flash then glanced at Micro Chips' lunch. "So whatchu got in the thermos chief?"

"Oh...uh you know. Just some juice I whipped up earlier."

Flash quirked an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because...I felt like it." Micro Chips responded. "I don't know Flash, it seemed rather obvious."

Promptly, he twisted the cap off, revealing the "smoothie" in his question. And needless to say, it was an...interesting looking...substance.

Specifically, it was a lime green colour. Flash widened his eyes too that, it wasn't the fact that it looked disgusting or anything. It was just that...there was something unnatural about how it looked to him. "Uh...What kind of juice is that?"

"Avacado Juice."

Sandalwood's eyes lit up. A grin forming thereafter. "Aw, Bro. I love Avacado Juice!"

Flash rolled his eyes. "Of course you do." He stared intently at the beverage. "Does that even taste good or....what?--Wait why would you have Avacado Juice in a thermos."

"Flash." Said Micro Chips. "Since when did you judge other people's personal preference. Seeing how you like Pineapple Pizza."

Flash sighed, seeing where the conversation was heading. So he merely threw in the towel and let Micro Chips win. "Whatever." Flash opened the plastic bag containing his Sandwich, being pretty gung ho to be finally sinking his teeth into it. "Aw man, this is gonna be good!"

Soon enough, the pair began to eat their respective lunches. No matter Flash's opposing perception was, they more or less enjoyed the relaxing time.

"So, you guys excited for the CTU trip?" Flash asked, "I mean field trips early in the year are cool right?"

Micro Chips shrugged, "Meh, I've kinda seen it all at this point."

Flash rolled his eyes, "Well of course you have." He glanced at Sandalwood, "What about you?"

Sandalwood emulated the gesture as Micro Chips. Shrugging as well, "Honestly dude, I'm kinda not feeling the "field trip vibe" all that much anymore. I mean we're still going to work there more or less. It's just a day at school....at another school."

Flash wasn't so much as shocked, maybe a little astonished though. "What? Come on, guys! I mean we're gonna watch Radioactivity Demonstration, that's basically one of the coolest things ever!

"If you say so" "If you say so" The latter replied.
