MLP: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games of Anonymous
Sign Me Out - I Mean, In...
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSince he started Crystal Prep Academy, Anon hated here. Everything with this school was wrong; the teachers, students, that principal who cared nothing else but winning... The only person he could stand seeing was sweet Dean Cadence for sure. She was just like an angel compared to these mutants in his saying. To be honest, nobody actually treated Anon bad, nobody insulted him, didn't mess with him, did not tease him. In fact, actually everbody was being nice to him but still, there was just this feeling. He couldn't explain. He just couldn't get to like them. He loved to be alone. He thought maybe he was just better off alone...
Maybe I'm better off alone,
Will I find what I'm looking for if I just do it on my own?
Oh and yeah there was this strange girl in the school as well. A nerd who likes to izolate herself from everyone and had no confidence to stand against someone who bullied her, to summarize. He was actually pitying this girl. This girl, in the name of Twilight -nerd- Sparkle was excluded by everyone else in the school. She was so unconfident, so unable to protect herself. Seriously, if you just shoulder her for no reason, she would just apologize and lower her head. Pretty sad though.
Normally, today would be no different than any other day, lessons, classes, lunch, seeing the faces that no one would want to see... But no, today was different. Today, he was waited in the room of their majesties. Who wanted to see Anon today was, the great empress of the Crystal Prep Academy, the last student bender, lawgiver, conqueror, commander; force of the teachers, owner of the students... Principal Abacus Cinch.
As he opened the doors, the enlightened desk and the big chair greeted him, of course with the Principal sitting on. For a principal's room, this place was just like it was belonged to a palace.
As he saw the face of Cinch -the witch- he felt the annoyance build up inside him. Why the hell did you dare to call me you witch!? "You wanted to see me Principal Cinch?" Anon asked as he got in and took a seat in front of the desk.
"Oh Mr Anon! It's so good that you joined us today." She smiled widely.
"Us?" Anon turned back at the door to meet two known faces: Dean Cadence and Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle's brother if he remembered correctly.
"Why of course," Cinch continued, "To give you the news and the motivation you'll need, we couldn't have left Shining Armor- one of our former top students out of this situation.
What are you up to again Cinch? "Wha... What news?" Anon raised a brow.
"Anon, as you know every four year we organize an event." Dean Cadence spoke.
"The Friendship Games." Shining Armor continued. "With participation of Canterlot High School, our top students compete in different kinds of races, with theirs."
Anon raised a brow once again, this time looking at Shining Armor. "Uhm... Cool? But what excatly does this have to do with me anyway?"
"And that's the point Mr Anon!" Cinch pointed out. "We need you to participate in Friendship Games as a Shadowbolt of Crystal Prep Academy."
What!? No! There was no way he was going to join this stupid competition! "Uh huh well... I'd like to thank you but I'm afraid I'm not interested... So,"
Before he could finish, Cinch intervened, "Well yes Mr Anon, I'm afraid this isn't actually a request." Damn thou witch..!
Anon opened his mouth to preotest but Dean Cadence took the word, "Anon, we're aware the fact that you don't like to socialize with other students, and as the school administration, we're worried about you." She got closer to him, just to put her hands on his face, looking right at his eyes with such compassion and purity. Oh please don't give me that look. "You should give it a try, teens at your age have to socialize with eachother, for your own good, please give it a chance."
"And I'd like to remind you, these magnificent grades of yours should not be wasted like this; join the Friendship Games, show your performance, and we can even make you the face of our school!" Cinch exclaimed as she stood up with excitement.
Anon, Shining and Cadence on the other hand, just stared at this unexpected reaction. After pulling herself together, she took her seat again, without a word she pulled out a folder and a paper from it which has his photograph on. "Now then Mr Anon," She passed the paper to him, "What do you say?"
Anon took the paper and scanned it carefully. Being the face of the school? It could actually be... But... Ah I dunno. Then he turned to Shining Armor, just to have an reassuring smile and nod, then to Cadence to meet her stare once again, Oh goodness and finally he looked at Principal Cinch; Ugh, someone should put a bag on her head.
With a sigh, only one word left his lips, "Fine."
"Splendid! Then I'm signing you in Mr Anon, I knew you wouldn't let us down!" Cinch exclaimed. Yeah, anything for you to get away from my face you witch. "Tomorrow the games start, you should have your preparations and get to know your teammates better; you'll need it." Teammates... Of course.
Anon stood up and headed to the door with the paper in his hand, getting a soft smile from Dean Cadence. Just when he reached the door knob, he felt a grip on his shoulder. It was Shining Armor, he too was smiling at him, "Good luck there buddy." He then lifted his fist to a friendly punch.
As expected, Anon didn't leave his fist in the air, "Thanks."
As he left the room and made his way to the stairs ahead, he heard the singing again. Was it just him, or everyone else could hear it too? He didn't know but he didn't much to care anyway.
'Cause I know there's more that's out there
Another place, another way,
And I know there's more that's out there,
And I'll find out someday,
I'll find out someday...
Just as he arrived the stairs, someone bumped into him, who almost fell downstairs because of the impact but luckily Anon grabbed the person from she shoulder quickly, preventing the unwanted accident. As he took a step back and pulled the figure with him, he lost his balance and fell backwards. And the clumsy one, just fell onto him.
After overcoming the situation, he slowly raised his head to take a look at the person, it was her again, Twilight Sparkle. She also lifted her head, just to blush and panic before him.
With a quick move she stood up, "Oh-Oh no! I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to... I was in a rush and I wasn't looking where I'm going and..."
Wow didn't expect that much of a reaction. "Hey Hey Hey, chill out for a second will ya?" He slowly stood up as well and after checking if everything's fine with himself, he turned to Twilight again. "It's okay, I'm fine. No need to panic." He smiled slightly at her.
Twilight just stayed like that for a moment, her mind tried to process what happened, has someone just been kind to her? With a sigh, she pushed her glasses on top of her nose as a frown formed on her face "I'm... glad to see you're okay. Wouldn't want you to get hurt because of me." She then with a slight smile, stretched out her hand, "I-I'm Twilight Sparkle. And you?"
Anon grabbed her hand with a smirk and shaked slowly not to startle her, "I'm Anon, nice to meet you. Say, you were in rush if I heard right?"
"Why yes, Dean Cadence said Principal Cinch called me. Said it was important so I came as fast as I could."
Cinch the witch you say?. "Oh I see... Welp, I better not stall you more then." They chuckled as Anon made his way downstairs. "So ah, see you around... I guess?"
"Y-Yeah... see you later..!" Twilight called out awkwardly.
Well, I at least know she can speak to people. Still, I don't understand why everyone is so hateful against her. Maybe I should... Nah nevermind, right now I just want to go home and leave here as fast as I can. Duh.
