*SHWWEAP*

Shure appeared from a flash laning on the first floor, he walked down the hall going to his first period. Turning into the door she bumped into somepony. He stood there nose and nose with Trella, "We gotta stop doing this" he smiled.

"Don't act like you dont like it." she replied, sliding her hoof across his cheek as she passed him.

"Almost as much as I like you" he said walking forward, not able to see her blush. He took a seat before noticing Antithesis making a face. "What?" he said taking out his stuff for class.

"Smooth Operator" Antithesis smirked "It was only a few weeks ago you could move if she was in the same room."

"What can I say?" he shrugged "Ponies change". Hearing Astra groan, Shure looked over at his friend slumped over his desk, "What happened to him?" Shue asked poking at him.

Antithesis laughed "He's out of shape", he said poking at Astra too. "When we stopped working out together he stopped completely". Astra groaned in response.

"That bad, still trying to catch up to Trella?" Shure asked, looking to rile Astra up.

"Catch up!" Astra said sitting up, "What would I need to catch up for--OW" he raised his hoof too high.

Both Antithesis and Shure were laughing as he flinched at his own soreness.

Mr. Write took role, then prepared for today's lesson, he grabbed a piece of chalk writing on the board. "Ok, who here did the homework?", he watched as his students began pulling out a worksheet. "Alright pass it forward". Doing as they were told everypony passed theirs forward except for Shure who was copying Antithesis' work down. After a few quick scribbles he passed it forward.

Write began a boring lecture on the parts of a story. While the rest of the class took notes Astra was daydreaming about soaring high in the sky. While he started he heard a muffled sound, he began to regain focus, "Astra, Astra" he felt Antithesis kick his chair.

Shaking his head he answered, "Uh, yes?"

"Ah hem, I asked what is the most intense part of a story?" Mr. Write repeated.

"uhh" Astra looked around seeing a graph behind Write with a few words written, looking at the highest one he answered "The Climax?"

"Good," Write replied circling the word on the board. "With that I'll let you guys work on this," he passed out another worksheet, "I don't care if you talk just don't get too loud" he took a seat at his desk.

"Pfft, I hate this class" Astra complained as he wrote his name. "Like why do we have to take it"

"Probably because we are the only public High School in all of equestria so they have to have standards." Shure answered, getting handed a paper.

"Whatever I'm glad I get this class out of the way early," he said looking down at the paper. "What is... all this?

"Give me a minute," Antithesis said, writing down the answers on his own sheet. "Aaaand done." he passed his paper to Astra who then passed it to Shure.

"Thanks," Astra said turning in his seat "Hey do you know when sign ups are?" he asked as Antithesis put his stuff back into his bag.

"I think it's supposed to be this week," Antithesis answered, getting his sheet back.

As they spoke a voice could be heard instead of the usual bell "Attention students, We apologise for the delay. If you are interested in joining a club or activity you may come to the gym to meet with them, if not please proceed to your next class."

"About time," Shure commented.

Entering into the Gym, there were three rows of booths lining it. Going forward Shure said, "Let me know if you see the markspony booth."

"hm" Astra answered, staring at all the booths.

"Don't just stand there," Antithesis said walking away with Shure.

"Hey hold up" Astra flew to catch up.

They passed all sorts of booths from Track & Field to volleyball, and just as many clubs. One caught Shure's eye, he motioned for his friends to follow as he approached a familiar looking pony.

"Shure! Ha, I knew you'd find your way over over here." Prof. Helix said.

"What exactly is this club?" Shure asked, looking at some Circuits on the table.

"Well as you've noticed this is a club specific for students who are interested in Magic Circuitry and wish to either practice or experiment." Helix explained passing a sign up form to Shure.

"Thanks," he took the form, "But why are you here? Aren't these student ran?" Shure asked looking over the sheet.

"Well yes but seeing as there are only two students in the club they are required to have an advisor" He shrugged, "I don't mind since I know a thing or two, but It'd be great if somepony as knowledgeable as you were to join."

"Hmmmmmmm" Shure hummed, "I'll think about it"

"That's all I can ask," Helix responded.

Going to the next few stands Antithesis attracted the attention of quite a few sports tables, some even approached him. "Sorry I'm just looking," he told most of them.

Eventually they approached some of the pegasi stands, first one on the line was the aerial basketball, then cloud art. Those are the lesser known clubs, but what every pegasi that was worth his wings wanted to join was the Aerial Sports, such as Course Runners, High Speed competitions, and of course Wonder Bolt Jr. Training.

As they passed these stands Astra noticed his cousin working the High Speed Booth. "Hey T!" he called out, getting her attention.

She exited the stand and hugged Shure as they approached, getting a few glares from others nearby. Noticing Shure asked, "What's their problem?"

Antithesis leaned down and said softly "Oh I don't know you, a small fragile looking unicorn, is dating a rather pretty and might I add the most talented Pegasus in the school."

Trella blushed, at the answer, "Oh yeah," Shure said, pecking Trella's cheek.

"Alright that's enough you're gonna make me throw up" Astra bleated.

"Alright well I have to go back to the stand, Astra have you thought of joining anything?" she asked flying over the table.

He looked down the row, "I don't know something ast I guess."

"In that case you should join me in the High speed competitions." she bubbled "Oh you'd like it, Wait how good are your dynamics."

"I'm plenty Dynamic," he responded.

"Alright then fill this out and drop it off at the office" she handed him the sign up form. they began to walk away before she called out "Shure!" he turned "The Markspony booth is to your left". Turning he saw said booth, he gave a smile as thanks.

Getting to the end of the line up, were some more sports. Antithesis was the only one to not join anything, "Anything catches your eye?" Astra asked.

"Not really," Antithesis admitted,

"Hey! You!" somepony called, Antithesis looked around to see somepony pointing at him. "Yeah you".

Approaching the stallion, he said "I haven't seen you around before, are you new?"

"Yeah" Antithesis answered, "I'm a freshman."

"FRESHMAN!" he shouted, "I thought you were a transfer or something, You're massive for a freshman"

"uhhh thanks" Antithesis answered.

"Ok here's the sign up sheet, fill that out and drop it off at the office." the stallion yammered.

"Woe woe woe," Antithesis sounded, "I don't know what club this is. Why would I join."

"My bad this is the Hoofball stand, we could use somepony like you" he replied as Antithesis passed him back the paper blank.

"Thanks but I'm still looking around for now" Antithesis said walking away.

"Ha, lost another one," somepony mocked "Hold up, why don't you join us". Antithesis turned round to see a set of three ponies flexing their muscles.

"I don't know If I want to buy what you're selling" Antithesis replied.

"What about us?" a dark grey mare asked, poking Antithesis' foreleg. "You seem pretty strong, join the wrestling team."

"Wrestling?" he questioned, looking at her pink and green mane, "Sure...". she pulled him away from the other two booths.

"Hey! Wait you can't just take my new prospect!" the Hoofball pony called.

"He said it himself he's not interested." She snapped back, surprising everypony.

Reaching the end she got into a booth with the words 'Wrestling' above it. "Thanks for the save, I'll return the favor".

"No need" she smiled playfully, "How about this, you join the Wrestling team try it out and see if you like it"

"Will do," he said, returning the smile.

"I'll see you later, practice starts next week." she said leaning over the table and poking his nose.

Walking away Astra and Shure were nudging and making fun of Antithesis, "Hey, I think she's got a thing for you"

"Now I'm no expert, but Shure it took you all summer to ask out your crush" Antithesis replied turning to Astra, "And you, you still haven't asked Saphi out yet".

Astra began to fly, turning around, "Hold up, let's not make this bout me." he said now flying backwards, "She was pretty cute though".

"Don't let Saphi hear you say that", Shure said jokingly.

"Let me hear what?" Saphi said coming around the corner to the lobby.

"Wow you always show up at the perfect times" Antithesis said softly, before Astra's freakout.

"I- UHHHHH, Just! uhhhhh How interesting it would be to meet your dad!, the... metal worker" he smiled nervously.

"Oh about that are you guys free saturday?" Saphi asked.

Nervously Astra tried to think of an excuse, "Well you see, me and Thees, exercise together on the weekends, Soooo..."

"Oh I see another time then," she replied ears drooping.

"Actually I have plans on Saturday," Antithesis said as he rolled his eyes, "So Astra is free."

Saphi's head popped back up at this, "Really" she squealed, taking a step forward.

"I-I guess I am," Astra replied nervously.
