Whenever You’re Around (Original)
Author's Note
If you see the YouTube video I put in then it’s song you can listen to while reading this chapter of the story, only play it once when a word is Green
You stop the song or mute the volume when a word is Red if it’s not then you get to play the whole song
Just say you know I do not, I repeat DO NOT own the content and songs used. Any song catalog belongs to the original artist (Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, etc.) and the record company it’s origin is from.
Thank You & I hope you enjoy this chapter of the story
Chapter 2
It was 2:55 as the clock says. I was itching to get out of class to meet up with Sunset at the front of the school. I really think that she’s the nicest person I’ve ever met. That conversation we had hours ago went great, things weren’t awkward and... I think we might have some sort of... connection. Just thinking of Sunset Shimmer flows through my very mind. While I was daydreaming I felt a bulge that’s in my pants, I tried to stop thinking about cause that last thing I want is to look like a bitchy pervert, but my mind was a little too powerful. I snapped to my senses in an instant when the school bell finally rang.
I packed my book bag and ran out of the classroom as fast as I can. I went out the door only to find people out at the front of the school, but no Sunset. I out look out to the front of the school till I saw a hand waving, I would assume that it was probably Sunset so I decided to walk over. I was right, It was Sunset and I could see that she’s with a couple of friends as well.
“James!” Sunset says as she quickly ran over to me and gave me a hug.
“Hey Sunset, so who are your friends?” I questioned just so I can get to know her friends too.
“Alright, This is Applejack,” she starts to gesture towards the girl with her own cowgirl boots and hat first then towards the other five.
“Howdy, it’s nice to meet ya James,” AJ said as I replied back nicely to her.
“And this is Rarity,” Sunset points to the purple haired girl with her purple skirt
“Hello Darling,” she says nicely with a what seems to be an English accent, then I greeted her back.
“Hey name is Rainbow Dash,” The rainbow haired girl says with a little raspy voice.
“Say aren’t you the one at that game who was able to score and break the tie at the last second?” I asked since I saw her at a soccer game that one time.
“Yeah, I guess you can say that I’m AWE—SOME!” Dash says as she does a sing-song on ‘Awesome’ as if she was bragging in a way.
“...Anyways, This is Pink.....”
“HiJamesmynameisPinkiePiehowisyourdaygoingSunsettoldusalotaboutyouisyourdaygoinggoodIknowmydayisgoinggoodsaywhatkindofcakeyoulikejustwonderingsoIcangetyoutherightkindofcakeforthrowingabirthdaypartyand...” Sunset successfully cut Pinkie Pie off as she shook my hand rapidly.
“Okay Pinkie Pie I think he gets it, As I was trying to say, that’s Pinkie and this is Fluttershy,” Sunset gestured me towards to the girl with light pink hair and a blue dress.
“Hi I’m James Thunder,” I introduced myself to Fluttershy with my hand out to shake hers.
“...Oh Hi...Hi I’m... Fluttershy,” she sounds super quiet the first time, then managed to speak up as she nervously put her hand out to shake mine.
“...Finally, This is Twilight Sparkle,” Sunset then goes to the girl with glasses and her hair tied into a bun.
“Hi, Sunset told me a lot about you, I think your chances of peaking the top spot of any music chart is a 52.7%,” I didn’t think she calculate the odds as I didn’t expect that percentage.
“Well I’m willing to take those odds then,” I say as I am willing to take that small risk.
“Alright, since you officially know everyone you’re a part of our friend group now,” I smiled right after Sunset said that.
“We should have a party at my house!” Pinkie beamed with happiness.
“Whoa Sugercube, maybe we should have the party at his house, that is if ya okay with that,” Applejack asks if I’m comfortable, then I said yes.
“That’s great we should go over at 6:00 if that’s okay with you,” Sunset asks this time
and I agreed once again.
“Cool maybe I can teach thing or two on guitar,”
“Sure RD,” I said to Rainbow Dash as I chuckled

At My House
———————————————————————————————————————
It’s been two and a half hours since I got home and it’s about 5:30. I’ve already got the food and sodas ready and I have movies set up downstairs as I have video games upstairs. Now All I have to do is wait. Just waiting gets me bored normally but this time I’ll feel like I can wait anytime at all. There’s something about Sunset that I can’t get out of head. Her hair, her eyes, her face, her lines. I don’t know how I exactly feel, I have so many butterflies in my stomach, and I have so many mixed emotions. I pull out my songwriting book and started on a new page, I don’t know what to title it but I got a feeling that I’ll have an idea soon. I wrote the lyrics based off from the conversation Sunset and I had based some lyrics on love and most of my unexplained feelings. I just spent the 30 minutes I had writing another song, it seems that I already killed time and I wasn’t even bored out of my mind at all
It has been 30 minutes already and I heard the doorbell rang. Before I go downstairs to answer it I decided to change out of my clothes into a more casual look by wearing a plain white T-Shirt and some sweats. I then went downstairs to the door as I peak though the doors hole to see who was there, as I expected it was Sunset Shimmer along with Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. They said that the others will come soon as soon as they help out Applejack with the extra snacks. As they came inside we already seemed to have started the party. It only took 15 more minutes for Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy to join us. We watching movies on the TV while some of us eat some of the food on the counter.
“This is a great party we have here James,” Sunset Shimmer complimented on the party
“Thanks it means a lot,” we were about half way through the movie, and Sunset leaned her head on my shoulder, then she seemed to have traced a circle a my leg. I saw what she was doing and I started to blush a little. Shit. Now I started to get hard, and my sweats almost seemed to show a bulge. I was saved by Pinkie Pie as she whistles out to all of us.
“Did you guys know James has a guitar over there?” Pinkie says.
“Yes I think we’ve noticed that Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash says as she smacked her forehead with her hand.
“Say maybe ya should play a song for us Sugercube,” everyone seemed to agree with Applejack after she comments on it.
“Oh..... Okay then,” I picked up the Acoustic Guitar and tuned up the strings, I also put on headphones so I can play along with the music in them.
“I’m gonna do a little cover on a song called ‘Stay’..... it’s for my parents and my sister”.
As soon as I strummed the first chords on my guitar I sung the lyrics to the first verse of the song. I felt like I was there already... on stage performing in front of an audience.
It was only seven people but it was enough for me to consider it counted. I just sung in a soft voice as I strumed the correct chords on the guitar. The thing was actually given to me by my father since he used to play this to me every night when I was little. He gave it to me when I was only 9 and I practiced it everyday because it made me feel like he was still here. I closed my eyes and it gave me a little bit of chills from that feeling I opened them up again as I see them smiling at me while I’m performing. I even saw the sparkles Sunset’s teal blue eyes watching me, in which it encourages me to sing from my own heart. I sing the second verse and instantly rhymed word by word within the song and started to tilt my head left to right in rhythm of the song. I felt great that I was able to sing to them and actually sing about how I’m feeling. I really needed this since I feel like I can show who I am through music. As I’m finishing up the chorus I started to do the guitar solo. Some of the notes in the solo I improvised myself since it seems to feel right to me. I looked at Sunset one last time as I smiled at her hoping no one would look and she returns the smile. I felt my heart skip a beat as she smiled and almost got distracted by it. I go through the very last part of the song as I was about to wrap up pretty soon. As I strum the last notes on the guitar I slowly sung the last lyrics in a soft voice.
Everyone in the room clapped as they liked my performance.
“That was marvelous darling,” Rarity says politely
“Haven’t seen anyone that good since someone got ran over by a cow on stage,” Applejack says jokingly.
Everyone liked it, and I was proud. I guess things in my life that goes bad are just in the past. Well, things in life can turn around after all.
Whenever You’re Around (Original)
Chapter 1
At Canterlot High School
My name is James Thunder and I’ve now achieved my dream of being a singer/songwriter..... is what I would say if that actually happened. But as of right now I’m still in High School on my sometimes shitty Senior Year. Well at least just about half the time some bitches I know since my elementary school be talking shit about me, but they know that I’m gonna prove them wrong anyways.
I always had the dream of being a singer, then I get to sign with a record label and I could experiment all sorts of different sounds. I listen to all sorts of music both old school and new school.
Anyways enough about the shit I like, it was currently the end of 1st Period and everyone was getting out of class.
I get to my locker to grab two of my notebooks for Science and History class. I looked at my watch and I’m 2 and an half minutes until the next class. I was running late so I had to run over there to save some time. I ran as fast as I could to get to class, but then I was sidetracked, and by that I mean I accidentally crashed into another girl.
I seen lots of girls obviously, I even had a girlfriend once but I broke up with her since she used me, but this girl was extraordinary to me. Her hair was somewhat a mix between red and yellow, and she wore a black leather jacket over a light blue shirt, with authentic jeans and boots, and her eyes..... let’s just say when I look into those teal blue eyes they were the cutest thing on earth possible the entire universe in my opinion.
“Oh My God I’m so soooo sorry,” the bacon-haired girl says as we help pick up each other’s books.
“No No No It was my fault I wasn’t looking where I was...” I cut my sentence short as I look into her eyes and she looks into mine. We got trapped in each other’s gaze for while, then snapped to our senses.
“Um... well I guess... here you go,” I hand the books that had her name on it and gave it to her as she gives me my books.
“Y... Yeah..... sorry,” she apologizes once again I was going to reply but the bell rang.
“Damn, I’ll see you later,” I say to the bacon-haired girl I was running late for class.

2 Hours Later
———————————————————————————————————————
It was currently lunch time so I packed my bag and went to the cafeteria. I just sat at a lunch table alone since... I don’t really have anyone to talk to or to feel comfortable with. Four of my old friends I knew did attend at CHS, but unfortunately they moved to a different state or city while some moved to Crystal Prep.
You probably think I still have some company at home, well... You might be right and wrong. Both of my parents died when I was 12 years old and none of my other relatives couldn’t just come over to where I’m at since they have their own homes to take care of. It’s mostly me and my grandma in the house so I still have some love and support, but she had to go down to Manehatten to take care of some personal business with her sister, I never felt so alone in my life.
I try to take my mind off of that thought by pulling out my personal red notebook that has tape on it that says: Journal. It says it on the front but the twist is that it’s actually my own songwriting book where I keep the songs I wrote on my own. I kept that a secret so no one knows about it accept for my close friends & family. It’s more like a ‘wait till I die, then show it to the world’ type of thing.
I was still in the works of perfecting the lyrics, especially on the page that’s title ‘Call Me’. As I was working on the lyrics I heard someone sitting right in front of me, and guess what? It was the same girl that I bumped into in the hallways. I don’t really know what she wants, but I just ignored it until she says something.
“Uh... H... Hey,” she manages to say it but she sounds hesitant.
“Oh, Hey didn’t notice you there,” I replied back and pretended I didn’t notice her.
“Soooo... I’m sorry about crashing right into you awhile ago,” she apologizes once again as she already did a couple hours ago.
“Oh No it’s okay, I wasn’t looking where I was going,” I said as I got back to writing on in my notebook. She looks at me writing in my notebook but then I look and try to keep the conversation going as 30 seconds of silence.
“I don’t mean to be rude or anything but, do you need something?” I said.
“Oh Me? No No, I just wanted to sit with you, you seemed like you needed someone to talk to you know?”
I guess she’s right I did need someone to talk to, but now I have this weird feeling... I don’t know what it is though but what I do know is that I don’t think I’ll ever feel the same ever again.
“Well... Yeah I guess,” I said almost nervously, I felt like I was dying from a heat stroke and a state of shock at the exact same time just by looking at her, my heart beating ever so rapidly.
“I don’t think I caught your name by the way,” she asks for my name and I introduced myself.
“The name is James. James Thunder and you are?” I asked in return for her name.
“It’s Sunset Shimmer, you seem like a nice guy, it’s a shame no one wants to talk to you,” That was the nicest thing she ever said to me. Well For fucks sake that’s the nicest anyone ever said to me.
“Say what you got there?” Sunset asks as she points at the notebook I was writing in.
“Oh... Err...” I hesitated since I mostly keep this special notebook a secret from anyone else other than my friends or family or any other relative of mine. But for Sunset Shimmer I’d be willing to make an exception, she’s just... SO DAMN CUTE.
“...well I mostly keep this a secret but, I guess I tell you, it’s not like it’s gonna hurt anyone right?” I joked and she chuckled at that thought.
“You see it contains some songwriting material in here, I always had the dream of becoming a singer you know? Singing, Dancing, Performing in front of hundreds and thousands of people,” Sunset seemed amazed at that thought, giving a nice ‘whoa’ gives away the fact that she likes the idea.
“Hey, if you like I can help with recording the songs, I mean... Of course if you lov... I mean if you... you want me help,” she says then laughs nervously as she sounded a little off between gaps of her sentence. She sounded like she said something else before asking to have her help me out, but what?
“Sure, do you sing?” I asked as she beamed up with a smile on her face.
“Yes, I can sing pretty well,” Sunset confirmed, I already like where this is going, maybe Sunset and I can work together on lyrical content between songs like Lennon and McCartney from The Beatles.
“Do you play drums or keyboard of any kind?” I ask so I can know if we play the same instrument.
“I can play guitar,” she says after I asked.
“No way, I play guitar too,” I say with a surprised expression. Both of us were surprised at each other, we were gonna go on with the conversation but the school bell already rang before we attempted to do so..... shit.
“Damn, well I gotta go see y...”
“No WAIT!” Sunset successfully cut me off and gesture me to stay where I’m at.
“Um... Do you want to... you know, meet after school?” She asks. I did have to go back to my class soon, but I really do wanna see Sunset again... for some reason.
“Of Course, I love too," I smiled as Sunset began to smile too.
We agreed to meet outside at the front right after school. I got a felling that I’m gonna be alone after all.
