Ocean Blues

by TalkingToMyself
Shortly after the Battle of the Bands, a new student arrives at Canterlot High School. Nobody knows her and she's not in a mood to make any friends. On any other school, she'd end up as a loner, but maybe at CHS, there's hope for a change.

Shortly after the Battle of the Bands, a new student arrives at Canterlot High School. Nobody knows her and she's not in a mood to make any friends. On any other school, she'd end up as a loner, but Canterlot High School isn't normal.
Of course, shenanigans are inevitable. Friendship, feelings and magic, whether she likes it or not.

Another EQG self-insert that starts right after "Rainbow Rocks" and moves forward from there. Since the events from the movies and mini-series won't all be included, I'm giving this the AU tag, just in case.
Tagged as "Teen" mostly because of foul language.
"Violence" and "Suicide" only happen in the later chapters, I will give a warning at the beginning of those.


This story is dedicated to a friend I haven't heard of in almost half a year now. I met her while I was in therapy for depression. She wasn't into MLP at all, but we bonded over music we both liked and I showed her some of the stuff I've written before. We even watched a few EQG videos and even if she wasn't ever "into" all this stuff, she felt pretty strongly when I showed her some Anon-A-Miss fics.
Turns out we both had out problems growing up and going to school.

We started talking, making up stories and I wrote some of them down. I made the suggestions to place them into the EGQ world, and Ocean Blues was born.

That was more than a year ago. We kept in touch, even after therapy, thanks to the internet, and we kept writing this "thing" together. Until, almost half a year ago, contact suddenly broke down. Her social media still exists, but there's no reaction. Her phone number won't connect any more. I have no idea what happened to her, and with all that corona and world wide crisis going on, it scares me. I know people sometimes just move on. I know people stop using their social media or change their phone numbers all the time. It still scares me.

So I've decided to publish this. It's not all finished and there will be gaps in the story line, although I've been trying to fill some of them on my own. This story was originally written in German, so the translation might sound weird at some points, please bear with me.
Maybe I will never finish this, but at least I want to post all I have from our work so far. To get it off my chest, and maybe so someone else might find it and get something out of it, even if it's just a chuckle.
