It was an intense moment. Flash could feel the sweat drip down his head. He stared intensely at his notebook. His hand was probably quivering more than it ever had in it's life. "Come on Flash. You can do this! You've done this a million times."

He glanced away from his notebook and instead directed his attention to the math sheet in front of him. His eyes narrowed on the sheet for a few seconds, "Curse you Math! You and your complex formulas!" He clenched his pencil in his hands.

But at last, the lunch bell finally rang! It had seemed Flash had been saved by his 'lousy time perception'. He, as well as many other students began packing up. Flash sighing in relief that his so called torture was finally over.

But as he got up from his seat, he soon began to realize something, "Wait? LUNCH!?" He realized quickly, using quick math, "new school+no real friends=Where the hell am I going to sit?!"

However, Comet Tail caught up with Flash . "Uh, yo it's Flash right?"

Flash was nearly startled, he let out a scream and faced Comet Star, "Uh, yeah."

"Hey I know you're new and all. So uh, I was wondering if you want to hang with my friends during lunch. We have our own table at the caf and everything."

Flash arched an eyebrow. Immediately, multiple clichés entered his head. But at this point, he could care less about being blunt. And he'd honestly be willing to engage in some social interaction, even if it was to his dismay

He shrugged, "Sure...I...guess."

"Great!"

Both he and Comet Tail entered the very crowded Cafeteria. Flash's eyes widened almost instantly and his jaw dropped to the ground. "Oh....My...…….God." Flash, in his life had never seen this much people before. Especially in cafeteria. That being said, his old school was a lot smaller. That and this was his first time in a high school.

"Smell that." said Comet Tail.

"What, you mean discomfort?"

"No. I mean today's special." Comet Tail chuckled, "That's the first day Lunch lady Smith Apple Pie Special."

Flash arched an eyebrow, "Is that's really what it's called?"

"No but I like to think it's that." The two began heading for a table. "Anyway, what do you think?"

Flash let out a sigh, "I think I'm gonna have a panic attack."

Comet Tail laughed. "Come on man. Don't act all senile me. Trust me, every single person here has basically been through what you're going through."

"If you say so."

They finally made it to a table. The table that Comet Tail was talking about. The table had three other kids sitting there. "Flash, meet my friends! Cheese Sandwich, Micro Chips and Sandalwood."

Cheese Sandwich, a boy with really curly brown hair and tan orange skin. Enthusiastically greeted Flash. "Hi!"

Micro Chips. The most intelligent gave Flash a very formal greeting. "Salutations."

And finally, Sandalwood. The most chill of the group, gave Flash an equally casual greeting. "Sup."

Flash, half heartedly. Raised his hand and slightly waived. "Uhh, hey there."

Both him and Comet Tail grabbed some seats. Grabbing their lunches out of their bags.

It Cheese Sandwich who first spoke up. Naturally being the unintentional confident one of the group, "Hey, I don't think of seen you here before." He sarcastically arched his back and put his hands on his hips, "Are you new."

Flash took a bite out of his sandwich. Glancing at Cheese Sandwich and nodding.

That's when Cheese Sandwich's eyes went wide, and his smile quickly disappeared. His once enthusiastic look became completely panicked. Meanwhile, both Sandalwood and Micro Chips stopped what they were doing (Working on a tiny circuit board and eating a salad) and joined Cheese Sandwich.

Also meanwhile. Comet Tail's eyes widened. Not because he was afraid of Flash, but because he had to now formulate how he was supposed to explain the new kid.

At that point, Flash started to see a trend. Every time he'd mention he was new, everyone and their mom's looked like they were about to keel' over. So he finally begged the question. "Okay, what is the deal with everyone and new kids?"

They all looked at Flash with very, very panicked faces.

"Well, come one now. It's not like I can read minds."

Micro Chips sighed as he decided it was his turn to have a conversation with Flash. "Look, uh Flash. There's a certain... Well mainly certain unspoken decree's here at Canterlot High."

Flash arched an eyebrow, "I...don't even know what decree means." He sighed, "Go on."

"Well, in this school's entirety. Aside from the eight graders we always get. Canterlot High has only had five news kids from separate cities."

Sandalwood chimed into the conversation, "Those kids were Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze."

Flash's shoulders dropped, "I...am pretty sure I've heard like two out of those five names."

"Exactly!" said Comet Tail. "Anyway. Those three are basically the reason on why everyone is so hesitant on new students."

"What they do?" asked Flash.

"Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze. A.K.A....." Cheese Sandwich took a slight pause. Breathing in for a moment, "THE DAZZLINGS!"

Flash took a long blink. After being nearly startled by Cheese Sandwich's scream, "Was that really necessary?"

"Yes! But anyways, The Dazzling's came along a few months after the Fall Formal!" Cheese Sandwich explained, "At the time we all thought they were normal students. But then.....they completely put the school under control and brain washed them."

"The next was Twilight Sparkle.....My Girlfriend!" Said Comet Tail, "Out of all the five, only two of them still go to the school. And she is one of the two. She came along right before Spring Break. During the Friendship Games--"

Flash interjected, "Wait, just wait." A grin slowly began to form on his face, "The Friendship games." He began snickering.

"Y-Yeah so the name sounds kinda….ridiculous but hey it was intense!" Comet Tail explained, "She was from the rival school Crystal Prep. Well, the games were just about to wrap up and the teams were about to play their last event. That's when suddenly, she became this magic....kinda hot.....DEMON! She nearly killed everyone and even broke the gateway to two worlds. But luckily she was stopped and saved by Sunset Shimmer."

Flash's eyes widened, he gain interjected. "Wait! Just wait! a-and I'm serious this time. I'm not about laugh" He took a quick breather, "Just Pause. W-what are these things you guys are telling me? Mind Controlling, Magic Demo--What the hell type of school is this?! Wh-wh-what's next huh?!" Flash found himself chuckling, "What, did the other one become some dangerous deity or something and like....pfft I don't know get stopped by Friendship and colorful stuff?" He found himself chuckling even more. In fact he found himself laughing. However, when Flash glanced at all of them. They weren't laughing, in fact. They looked at him as if he got it spot on. Flash stopped laughing, "What? Guys I was just kidding."

"N-No dude, your actually spot on' said Sandalwood, "L-Like eerily spot on."

Flash's eyes widened again. Dropping his shoulders he merely got one noise out of his mouth, "Huh?"

The three all sighed. Sandalwood continued, "So....The third and final person came to our school way before Twilight or the Dazzling's. And her name....was Sunset Shimmer."

"You've probably seen her around." said Comet Tail, "She's kind of given the nickname.....Bacon head sometime--Look, it's kind of a debate. But between her and The Dazzling's, I think she may have started the whole fear of new kids trend around here!" His voice went sour near the end. Having a very disgusted tone.

Flash quickly picked up on that, "Uhhh….Sooo I'm gonna take it you don't really like her." Flash took his water bottle and began to take a swig.

Micro Chips sighed, "Don't mind him. He's still a bit temperamental about her."

"I am not!" Comet Tail protested, "It's just....I just slightly hold a grudge against people who play with other people's hearts."

"In other words. They dated." said Cheese Sandwich."

Flash stopped drinking his water for a moment. Almost immediately looking at Comet Tail, "Wait for real?"

"I'm not proud of it, yes." said Comet Tail, "But that doesn't matter anyway. Look, it was the night of the formal and she lost the crown to this other kid right. And apparently, that crown had some magical value or something because the next thing we knew, she was some evil Magical Demon monster and she destroyed a lot of the school. But thankfully she was defeated so you know, at least we wont being seeing her do that again."

Flash honestly had no words after hearing all of that. In fact each story he heard sounded like it came out of a Disney movie. He didn't even know if that exactly cleared up the whole stigma with new kids. Honesty he didn't know if they were bluffing or not.

"Oh dear god. What have I gotten myself into."

The school day had finally ended. Flash made his way over to his dad's car. Opening the passenger door and hopping right in.

"So....How was the first day?" Stormbringer asked.

"Uhh, it was....a little interesting to say the least."

Stormbringer arched an eyebrow at the 'odd' tone in Flash's voice, "Did something go wrong."

"N-No not that." said Flash, "It's just uhh…..I had an odd history lesson about this school today. I'm not sure if it's real or not though."

"Well uh, did you make any new friends?"

Flash nodded, "Yeah you know what, I did. He seems like a pretty chill guy. Other than that I think I'm pretty, so and so with this school."

"Ahh you'll get over it." Stormbringer patted Flash on the back, "Trust me, this school will grow on you one way or another."

Flash chuckled and rolled his eyes. "If you say so."

Author's Note

So, after two whole months of inactivity. I'm finally working on this story.
