School of Friendship - Hallway

"...At least everything worked out in the end for you all." A green Pegasus with a brown mane and tail who had a blue star with red wings as their cutie mark was talking with Rainbow Dash. "Still, at least now you have this school. Kind of wish I didn't forget my stuff back where I moved here to Ponyville from." The Pegasus said.

"You still settling in then? I can help if you'd like." Rainbow Dash offered. "After all, we're friends right?" She asked.

"Yeah. After the race we had a couple days back...we are most certainly friends." The Pegasus said. His name was Wild Star. Just before Princess Twilight Sparkle had started her school of friendship up, Wild Star came to ponyville after having no hope of ever running into someone who could keep up with him at top speed. While on the train ride over to Ponyville, Wild Star had a chance conversation with the princess of friendship herself, and thus the colt learned about Rainbow Dash.

What followed was something that would be reflected in the history books for the rest of equestrian history: Wild Star had challenged Rainbow Dash to a race, and the two proceeded to tie in that race. Wild Star could hardly believe that after seven years of landside victories at the Wild Fliers Grand Prix, he had finally found someone who could keep up with his max speed. Admittedly, the fact that Rainbow Dash took the fact they tied with so much stride made Wild Star realize that though he may not have won the race, the fact of the matter was he was never meant to win in the first place. Not against someone like Rainbow Dash.

The rest of the Main 6 was more surprised that Rainbow Dash took the draw so well. Sure, Rainbow Dash admits that winning would've been nice, she's fine with the fact that the two of them ended up in a draw. As such, she and Wild Star tended to hang out quite a bit whenever school was out for the day.

But little did anyone realize that today, there would be another new face to grace Ponyville...

Ponyville - Train Station

A green unicorn with a mage robe and hat stepped out of the train that arrived in Ponyville. His name was Prism Gem, and his robe hid his cutie mark: A combination of three diamonds, one red, one purple, and one blue. The unicorn soon started making his way into Ponyville, carrying his bags along the way. He was here to check out the new "School of Friendship" he heard about through the grapevine but first a hotel would be nice.

As he left the train station, a Pink Pegasus filly with a cyan mane and tail who had a rook as her cutie mark was watching the mage unicorn. "Wonder what he's up to? I hope he's not evil, I would like to get to know him and be his first friend here in Ponyville. After all, friends are the best thing ever." She said, flying away.

Ponyville - Twilight's Castle

"Thanks for letting me stay here in your castle while I find a place for myself, Princess." Wild Star said to Twilight Sparkle.

"Please, you don't have to call me princess; you can just call me Twilight. All my friends do." Twilight Sparkle stated. Suddenly Starlight Glimmer came in.

"TWILIGHT!" Starlight Glimmer said, rushing in with Trixie and having a piece of paper contained in her magic. "We have a problem!" She said.

"Let me guess, more trouble from that Chancellor Neighsay?" Twilight asked her student.

"Worse! When Starlight and I were going through the student applications, we suddenly realized we missed one!" Trixie said.

"Uh oh..." Twilight said. "Who did we miss?" She asked.

"That's the thing...we're not sure. All we have is a name: Cozy Glow!" Starlight said.

"You three seem like you could use some help." Wild Star said.

"Whose this guy?" Trixie said.

"Oh right. You two were away when that happened. Starlight, Trixie...meet Wild Star." Twilight said.

"Hello ladies." Wild Star said.

"He's nice." Trixie said.

"...Well I'm not detecting any malice from him." Staright said. The others looked at her with confused faces. "Oh...right. Should mention...I sort of...managed to learn a spell that can detect evil. I mean, it's got to come in handy at some point...right?" Starlight said, nervously.

"...Be that as it may. Let's hope the day never comes where you'll have to use that spell." Twilight said.

"Agreed. This town has seen it's fair share of villains." Trixie said. And then everyone glared at her. "What? It's true. Between Nightmare Moon followed by Discord followed by me followed by Tirek and end off with the Storm King as the latest example...well...you get the point." Trixie said.

"I'm surprised you didn't mention me..." Starlight said.

"...Oh right. Kind of forgot that you were amongst that crowd too. But I know you don't like to be reminded of it." Trixie said.

"...Maybe this was not the best place to lay down my roots..." Wild Star said.

"Please, we have Princess Twilight and her friends for protection. The Storm King's been the only real threat we've had." Trixie said.

"Admittedly...she's right. All I did was try to mess with time. All Tirek did was steal everypony's magic. Oh...and destroyed Twilight's old house." Starlight said, before pointing up at the chandelier above them. "I'm still shocked that your friends were able to get that up there." Starlight said.

"Best Castle Warming Present ever." Twilight said.

"I have so much to learn." Wild Star said. Suddenly the Pink Pegasus from before came into the castle.

"I'm here I'm here..." She said.

"And you are?" Twilight Asked.

"My name's Cozy Glow...and I was hoping you came to a decision about my application." The Pegasus said with a smile.
