MLP: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games of Anonymous
Sign Me Out - I Mean, In...
Since 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.

To The Canterlot High School
It was the eight of the morning and Anon was on the way to school, while he surely hated there, walking in the morning with his headphones on was quite enjoyable. The cool breeze hitting his face as the sun shines up in the sky and of course, the music coming from his headphones was completing the satisfaction. Hell yeah! It might be another boring day with boring people but he could at least enjoy this calm morning, couldn't he?
J'essaie d'y croire
J'me voile sûrement la face
J'me voile sûrement la face
Tu m'as poignardé dans le noir
J'ai fait confiance
Aveugle était ma confiance
Et tu m'as fait du tord
Parce que le cerveau suit le cœur
Parce que le cerveau suit le cœur
Parce que le cerveau suit le cœur
What could have gone wrong anyway? There were at least ten minutes to schoolgrounds; until then, he was free! Only him, the sun and his music... Of course not. The almighty up there had other plans for Anon: Because who she saw ahead was the last person he would like to see right now: With the classic CPA uniform, her lime green wild hair and of course the headsets on her head, Lemon Zest was in front of him. Right next to him was a trash can, if maybe he acted quickly he could hide and- Too late, she spotted him already.
"Hey Anon!" She waved at him. Dammit!
He narrowed his eyes and forced to smile,"H-Hey... Lemon Zest."
"Whatcha doing?" ...Seriously? What could I be doing else than going to school on a thursday morning?
"Uhm, going to" Ahem! "School... I guess?"
"Uh yeah right... So what are you listening?" She smiled as a spark shined in her eyes.
Anon looked at her with an unsatisfied expression, he could guess what she'd do, "...Music?" Just go away already!
"Cool! Do you like Metal?" Fucking hell, no way!
He slowly backed away, "I- ah- actually-"
"Great! Then check this out!" Everything happened so quickly, but for Anon it was just like a slow motion. Lemon took off the two sided weapon, brought on his head but before he could react, the headsets were locked on his ears. He knew what was coming, he was unsure about its intensity but still, he knew this was going to be painful... Very painful.
The sound waves of electro guitar, then the drums and bass left the device, just to meet his -may the heavens help them- very ears. With every hit on the guitar strings, and the blowdowns on the drums and cymbals, his eyes popped out his head. Within a few seconds, the sound just stopped, replaced by a low tone ringing. He turned to Lemon, who was saying something to him. Or at least that's what he was seeing, because he couldn't hear her voice... What?
He quickly took off the headsets, the ringing he heard just rose in result. Just when he was about to black out, he heard her voice again. Deeper and more hoarse than before but it was her.
"Anon... Anon? Anon!" With the last try, her voice could be heard better now. He took a step forward, and almost fell but he got a hold from Lemon. After regaining his balance, he took another step forward. "Anon... Are you okay dude?"
He turned back at Lemon and passed her headsets, then leaned his head closer to Lemon's ear, "...Fuck your music taste..."
"W-What?" She couldn't hear well.
"Fuck... your music taste"
Lemon raised a brow for response, she was still unsure if she heard correct. "Ano-"
"I SAID FUCK YOUR MUSIC TASTE! He opened his arms to sides. His eyes were reddened due to torture he just got over with. Without another word, he continued his way with faster steps while Lemon just watched him go.
After five minutes of walking, he was now in front of the entrance, with a sigh he got inside and headed to his locker. He didn't want to talk to anyone now; not after what happened with Lemon Zest lately. But as it was said before, the almighty up there had other plans. Just as he left his locker and made his way outside where buses were waiting, people gathered around him.
For the first wave, Trenderhoof hopped in, "Hey Anon! I heard you signed for Friendship Games. Would you like to ha-"
"Not interested." Anon was determined to keep his sullen face and not talk to anyone. For this response, Trenderhoof slowly backed away with a frown. One down, god knows how many left to go.
The second wave was another face to be avoided: Buttonbelle. And Coco Pommel behind her who was busy with carrying something belonged to Buttonbelle, Anon guessed. "Hi Anon, you're looking good!" She reached to his collar, "Is this a-"
With a quick move with the back of his hand, he stopped her before touching his shirt, "No. Physical. Contact." The two just gawked after Anon as he walked off.
As he continued walking, two figures confronted him this time: Jetset and Upper Crust. "Hey Anon, wanna hang out during the Friendship Gamesl?"
"Yeah sure." Anon kept his expression.
"Really?" Upper Crust widely smiled.
"Of course not." The slight smiles on their faces turned upside down as the two looked at eachother. Anon on the other hand smiled for the first time after the earrape Lemon gave him. He was sure his organs were still having a funeral for his ears.
Finally he was outside, after getting out of that human flood, clean weather was a heaven for him. He inhaled deeply, filled his lungs with fresh air and let it all out calmly. Then his eyes fell upon the buses ahead. And course Dean Cadence was also there so he got there quickly. Three buses were positioned in line. Where to go now?
He then headed towards the vice principal, "Uhm... Dean Cadence, I am not sure where to go. Can you please-"
"Oh Anon, here you are! This is the right bus, hop in." She winked at him.
Just as he took a step on the stair, a soft feminine voice spoke from behind. "Uhm Anon, we're all waiting here; could you please get to the end of the line?"
Anon turned to owner of the voice; It was this bipolar girl, what was her name... Sour Sweet? Yeah that he guessed. He knew this girl from her suddenly changing reactions. He scanned her from bottom to top with a sickened expression on his face, which made her flinch slightly. Then unexpectedly, he smirked.
After having his day ruined, it was time for someone else's day to be ruined. Ultimate Jerk mode... activated! "Oh! I didn't know schizophrenics are also included in these games!" He chuckled. It wasn't funny, in fact he even felt a bit guilty but it didn't matter since he disliked everyone in here.
Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare just looked at eachother with widened eyes. Sour then mumbled something quietly, "Fuck if I ask anyone kindly again."
Then right after this, the nerd of the school arrived as well, Twilight Sparkle. She looked around, then turned to Cadence uncertainly, "Dean Cadence, I am not sure where to go."
But she was busy with something, "O-One second Twilight."
Sour then turned to Twilight with anger, "You could try the end of the line."
Meanwhile, Anon was looking for a seat in the bus, on his right was Trenderhoof, waving at him with a smile on his face. No means NO, you weirdo... Oh hey I made a rhyme! On his left were Coco Pommel and Buttonbelle; Absuloteley no. And on his right Jetset, Upper Crust and another guy was seated, who were eying him. Damn the bus I was put in! Then at the end of the vehicle, there was an empty seat right next to girl with pigtail hair. Sugarcoat. He didn't know much about her but as far he knew, she was alright as long as you don't talk to her much. And she was a nerd like Twilight.
He took the seat right next to her and sighed with relaxation. She wouldn't talk if you don't talk to her if the rumors were true. Just when he was about to put his headphones on, a feminie voice rose right nex to him. Sugarcoat...
"Hi Anon, it's good to see you." You can't be serious...
A moment of silence took over them as Anon turned to Sugarcoat. "ARE WE GONNA WIN?" A girly voice rose from the front of the vehicle but the silence between them continued. Twilight twaddled something there but Anon didn't seem to care since he has another problem right next to him. He eyed the nerd carefully, then returned to his position. A grin took over his face as he leaned closer to her.
In a whisper, toxic words left Anon's mouth, "I wish I could say the same for you..." After that, he put his headphones on again.
Sugarcoat on the other hand, just stared at him for a while, then with a frown she looked down. After closing her eyes and reopening them, a stable and frowning look replaced with the greeting one. By the time Twilight came and sit right next to Anon. She was still a bit uncomfortable about last day but compared to the others, he seemed to be the best option.
She then noticed Sugarcoat next to Anon, "Hi Sugarcoat."
"That was really bad speech, you should consider not speaking in public."
After crtiticsm, she frowned and her hope of having someone to talk died quikly. Then she unzipped his backbag to see his companion: Spike. "Oh Spike, at least I've got you with me." The puppy in the bag smiled at her before whining as he heard the metal music coming from the next seat.
Lemon Zest, took off her headsets as she turned to Twilight, "Dude! You've got to hear this!" Before Twilight could say a thing, Lemon put the headsets on her head, leaving the girl's ears with the same fate with Anon's as the trip to Canterlot High School begun...
