Chapter 1: A normal live

The city of Canterlot awoke that day with the first light of morning. Rays of sunlight streamed through the louvres of a small apartment window, awakening a short (1.54m), slender 15 year old teenager with long, tousled green hair. His emerald eyes widened as he stretched out his right hand to reach for a pack of cigarettes. He lit one and as he smoked with that usual sad expression of his, he began to dress as he always dressed. He put on his old worn out sneakers, his faded jeans, a black t-shirt with a purple dragon with green spines printed on it and his purple hoodie. He headed, taking long puffs to his disorganized kitchen. He opened the practically empty fridge and grabbed the last remaining pack of milk as the coffee machine beeped with a squeaky clatter. He grabbed a cup and poured himself a latte as he looked out his window at the view of the city of Canterlot as the first stirrings of the city began to begin. A few pegasus were flying to their offices, some earthlings walking and a couple of police unicorns patrolling their suburban neighborhood.

Spike, was a non-magical (or nomag as they were known), one of the few left in his world after the Battle of Harmony as the newspaper headlines called it. Eight years ago, Seven girls from his high school defeat a powerfull creature named Discord a god of chaos and nearly destroyed their world had it not been for the seven girls mentioned above, who awakened the first, magic in them, one of the most powerful magics of all, the magic of friendship. Together they defeated this god and reformed him, now, he is the director of the Institute. From that moment on, billions of people began to awaken the magic within them, having four races: Pegasus magic, making those who have it fast and skillful as well as growing wings. Earth magic, giving them great physical strength and endurance as well as growing pony ears which also gives them a great sense of hearing. The unicorns maguc that gives them a great mental capacity and dexterity as well as a horn grows on their head which they use as a channeler and can manipulate the atoms of the envirioments and do things like elevate objects, throw energy beams. And finally there is the rarest race of all, the alicorns, there are very few of them, they have all the capabilities of the above and can manipulate all the elements of the nature and a unique and exclusive one called Sinergy that give them the power of one very powerfull thing (like manipulate the sun, the moon, the love...). Differentiating them is easy, they have pegasus wings, terrestrial ears and unicorn horn, in short, they are the full combo. In such a world, Spike is little more than a nobody.

Spike began to walk towards the institute at a slow pace and focused on his empty thoughts as he lit another cigarette and sighed with great sadness.
"Well," he said to himself, "another shitty day begins".

When he arrived at the Canterlot High School, there weren't many people, as he always used to arrive before everyone, so that in the halls they wouldn't pick on him for being a nomag or for being the shortest boy in the whole institute.

He started to walk up the stairs to the door when he made eye contact for a few seconds with a girl who was leaning against the wall. Seeing her stare at him, he put on his hood and quickly walked inside the building.

"Poor kid" she thought wistfully "If only people would realize what he looks like."

Down the street that runs in front of the high school, three cars approached from which six girls got out after parking in the parking lot on the right side of the high school.

The girl with the pale pink hair approached them.

"And that's why the CEF (Crystal Empire Footbal) stole Saturday's game from us," said a rainbow haired girl to a red and yellow haired girl".

"Yes, yes, whatever you say Rainbow".

"Why don't you let it go Rainbow," asked a girl in a cowboy hat with a southern accent.

"Because it was a full-fledged robbery," said the girl named Rainbow.

"Hello girls," began the pale pink girl shyly, "What are you talking about?

"About Rainbow's problems with defeat," said another girl with purple hair with two highlights, one purple and one pink, with a slight giggle.

"Shut up Twilight," said Rainbow Dash crossing her arms and puffing out her cheeks like a little kid.

The girls laughed at Rainbow Dash's mini tantrum.

"Anyway, my dear," said another girl with purple hair and an elegant air, "How about you, Fluttershy? Who were you looking at when we arrived?

Fluttershy blushed a little at this question and at her elegant friend's testing eyes.

"I... I wasn't looking at anyone," she said with a slight tone and looking away.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" gasped one last girl with screaming pink and tousled hair while she grabbed Fluttershy's shoulders with both her hands and started to shake her "YOU WERE SPYING SOMEONE! WHO? IS A TERRORIST? A CORRUPTED POLITICAN? YOU HAVE BEEN HIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS A SPY AND YOU WERE ON AN ESPIONAGE MISSION TO PREVENT THE YAKYAKISTANS FROM ATTACKING US WITH NUCLEAR BOMBS?"

Rainbow and the girl with the cowboy hat grabbed the girl with the bright pink hair while the girl with the purple hair with wicks grabbed Fluttershy so she wouldn't fall because of the dizziness.

"There, there Pinkie, sugarcube," said the cowboy girl laughing, "a little more and you'll make her puke.

"And what's with the spy thing," asked Dash, "I don't think Shy is what you'd call the archetype for a spy."

"Precisely," said Pinkie, "so no one would be suspicious.

The girls just laughed and rolled their eyes at Pinkie Pie's comment.

Fluttershy pulled herself together and they headed inside the school.

Canterlot High School was a large building with a great reputation. As soon as you entered through its large glass doors there was a showcase with trophies of all the championships won (of which many were thanks to Rainbow Dash). With three different corridors, one in front and two on the sides, all of them full of lockers. Down the first hallway to the left was the art room, the assembly hall and the exit to the school courtyard as well as stairs leading to the remaining two floors where the different classes were located.

The central corridor led to the management and teachers' lounge and the huge cafeteria.
The corridor to the right led to the modern computer room, to the laboratories whose technology was the most modern of all and to the library as well as other stairs to the upper floors although the three corridors were connected by two other corridors that left the central corridor creating a pentagon.

The girls walked unnoticed by a hooded man who was watching them from his locker.

They were well known in the institute, they were the girls who discovered magic and defeated Discord, they were known as the Harmony Girls. They were truly beautiful, each and every one.

The bumpy haired girl who almost killed Fluttershy with a wiggle is known as Pinkie Pie, of 17 years old, a hyperactive earthling with very sense of humor. She is known as the Element of Laughter (since when they awakened the magic, seven jewels were formed on her neck in the form of a necklace that were known as the Elements of Harmony, the most powerful objects in the universe) and it was not for less, because one of the things that Pinkie Pie always achieved was to make people laugh even in the most tragic moments, making them more enjoyable, being her positivity of great help when someone feels lost and alone. Her height is normal (1.70m) and her size is a little less than her friend Fluttershy (E Cup).She always wears a miniskirt with white and pale pink squares and pink tights that form anime style cats, a white shirt unbuttoned from the bottom up and a small pink leather jacket with two blue and one yellow balloons drawn on the back that went with her friends who also wore a leather jacket as if they were a biker gang. Her necklace was sky blue as well as her eyes and her sneakers, differentiating the latter because the laces were white while the necklace was completely blue with a small pearl inside.

The girl with elegant style and purple hair is known as Rarity, of 18 years old. A well-mannered unicorn and the most beautiful of the seven girls, her face being made almost of porcelain and her purple eyes, the brightest of all. She is the bearer of the Element of Generosity. She earned the element the hard way, as she is almost pure, going to the city's soup kitchens on Tuesdays and Thursdays, having organized charity markets for different organizations and having an almost angelic personality and almost always compassionate to almost everyone. She is one of the tallest of the group (1.85m) and shares her friend Pinkie's size (E-cup). She always wears tight jeans that mark her peach-shaped buttocks, held in place by a Drussi belt, white t-shirt with different gem decals, from a ruby, to a diamond. Her leather jacket was a dark purple, almost black tone and behind it she has three blue diamonds drawn on it. Her necklace is purple as are her heels that make her stand even taller (1,90m).

Rainbow Dash of 18 years old, is a pegasus and the athlete of the group, being the captain of all the sports teams of the institute, her body is completely defined, making her an admirable figure, being the most striking, her bubble buttocks (132cm) and although her size is the smallest of the group (C cup) she is very firm. Her height is the shortest of her group (1.68m). She is the bearer of the Element of Loyalty, most likely due to her feeling of companionship with her teams, being always there for her friends and the people she loves. Her attire is, to many, quite suggestive, lucky that her character keeps the slimy and perverted at bay. His sweatpants are short, black with white stripes. He wears a light blue sports top with the high school soccer team crest (an electric blue horseshoe with white angel wings and a yellow W below the horseshoe, referencing the Wonderbolts). The leather jacket is completely black with a rainbow-colored lightning bolt drawn on the back to match her short, multicolored hair. His collar is red like his sports shirts, only that these are combined in different areas with white and burgundy tones in the laces.

Fluttershy a pegasus of 18 years old, is among all the girls, the most gorgeous in body, not only for her size (F Cup) and her tall height (1,88m), but also for her large rounded buttocks (135 cm). She is the bearer of the Element of Kindness, you don't need to be very smart to know why she carries such a gem. She always speaks with kind words, always ready to help others with whatever they need. Although her attitude is shy, her kindness wins out and whenever someone is in danger, animal or human, she will always be there to lend a helping hand. She always dresses in pale pink pants like her long hair that reaches her hips, a green sweater with a flower with seven different colored petals on it on. Her leather jacket is yellow and behind it is stamped with three butterflies also in pale pink. Her necklace is pink like most of her outfit except for her white sneakers.

The blonde-haired, cowboy-hatted girl is named Applejack an earthling of 19 years old, called by many the Amazon, because of her tall stature (1.98m), her size (DD Cup) and her firm figure. She is not an athlete, but works on her family's farm whenever she has time, making the farm work serve her to stay in shape. She is the bearer of the Element of Honesty, being so, because she has never told a lie to anyone. She will always go for the truth first, even if it hurts. Not only that, but she has a sixth sense to detect a lie from 15 km away. His clothing is quite particular. His brown cowboy boots with a golden apple as a metal plate where the laces begin, match perfectly with the long-brimmed cowboy hat. His navy blue holstered pants contrast with his red and white checkered shirt. The leather jacket is half white and half bottle green with three red apples drawn on it. His face is noteworthy, with beautiful freckles that gleam along with his green necklace.

The girl with red and yellow hair is Sunset Shimmer, a 17 year old earthling, she was the last one to join the group of friends, because before meeting them, she was a bully who harassed the vast majority of students, but after the battle of harmony and her transformation to a magical person she became the most understanding person of all, always encouraging the others to face the problems, for this reason, she is the bearer of the Element of Forgiveness. Her height is also average (1,75m) with a good size (D cup). Her clothing is very rebellious, her boots are black with metallic spikes, a purple shirt with the logo of her favorite music group (Coltallica). He always wears black tights with purple stripes that highlight his figure and peach-shaped buttocks.He wears white biker gloves with black stripes and his leather jacket is completely black with different patches of different shapes and colors and on the back he has a half red and half yellow sun print that matches his long hair and the necklace she wears, which is the same color.

The last girl, but not the least is an 18 year old alicorn named Twilight Sparkle, the girl with whom it all started, the one who brought all the girls together and the proclaimed leader of the Harmony Girls, always looking out for others and being not only the most powerful of all magical people because of her alicorn status, but the most intelligent of the institute, therefore, she is the bearer of the Element of Magic. Her clothing is very simple, blue pants with a black belt with a purple star print. A cyan shirt with dark purple edges, white sneakers, and a white leather jacket with the same star printed on the belt in the back. In addition to a pair of horn-rimmed glasses that reaffirm her beautiful face. She is tall (1,82m) with a good size (D cup) and bubble buttocks like Rainbow Dash (130 cm).

"Girls," said Applejack, "The nomag is watching us again.

The girls turned around and with a look of discomfort they saw that on the other side of the corridor, Spike was staring at them with his emerald eyes. After a few seconds of silence, Spike turned and disappeared down one of the hallways.

"Sinister," Pinkie said with a shiver.

"I don't understand why Principal Discord keeps letting him attend" said with a noticeably pissed off tone Rainbow Dash.

"Yes" said Rarity "after all, he is a nomag. It's quite out of place in a school where everyone has powers."

"I think he's doing odd jobs for the principal to keep him here," said Rainbow Dash mockingly, "What do you think, Shy?"

Fluttershy didn't say anything, she just stared at the corridor where Spike left.

"Shy?" asked Rainbow Dash worriedly.

"Fluttershy," Sunset called her attention and put her hand on her shoulder, "Are you all right?

Fluttershy came to her senses when Sunset Shimmer asked her.

"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine Sunset," she said with a fake smile, "Did you say something Rainbow?"

Applejack stared at her, making the shy little girl uncomfortable.

"You've been a little quiet all weekend, more than usual, as if you were absorbed in your thoughts. Are you hiding something from us, Shy?"

Applejack with every word she said leaned her body closer to Fluttershy's making them lean and almost touching the ground with her head.

"N...No..." said Fluttershy almost sweating.

"Are you absolutely sure, Miss Fluttershy Breeze?" she said closing one of her eyes and opening the other one wide.
Suddenly, the bell rang, indicating the beginning of classes.

"Oops, the bell- said Fluttershy saving herself from her honest friend "And I have literature class with Ms Harrswhinne, I better not be late... Hey, Pinkie, you have too, we should go, let's go!"

"Oki doki loki," Pinkie Pie answered cheerfully.

They both went to the language class, Fluttershy grabbed Pinkie's arm tightly.

"Don't you think you've gone a little overboard," said Twilight to Applejack.

"I think so," said Applejack, "but Twi, that little girl knows something the others don't, I just hope she doesn't take too long to tell us."

Spike heard the bell for the start of classes, at which point he ducked his head to block people from seeing his face as students began to file into the school. Almost like a ghost, he melted into the crowd of boys and girls walking in the opposite direction from him. However, it wasn't long before the students became aware of his presence.

"Yuck," said a Pegasus girl, "There's that nomag again.

"Doesn't he realize that this isn't his place," commented another earthling girl.

"Hey, asshole, do us all a favor and die," a boy shouted at Spike as he threw a crumpled piece of paper at him.

Spike simply continued on his way to class, trying to ignore the hurtful comments from the other students.
An earthling walking in the opposite direction hit him hard with his shoulder and then a pegasus hit him on the other side.

"Look where you're going, you little shit!" the earthling shouted laughing.

"Yes," said the pegasus, "Let's see if we're going to have to teach you real magic, Nomag".

A unicorn who saw Spike pass by, laughed with her friends just before she tripped him, causing the green-haired boy to fall on his face to the ground. Everyone around him started laughing.

"I had no idea that nomags were not only weak but also clumsy," commented the unicorn laughing at him."

"Die nomag!" said an earthling who was laughing along with the rest of the boys who were present.

At that moment they all fell silent when from the corner of the corridor appeared the language teacher, with blond hair and blue eyes, in her fifties, Ms. Harshwhinny who saw Spike fallen on the floor, she looked at him with her brown eyes that had a persistent look of disgust.

"Did I order you to stop laughing at the nomag?" the teacher said to her students as they recovered their devilish grins.

"You should at least have the consideration not to look directly at me nomag," she said as she walked past and finished by muttering to herself, "I don't understand how Discord allows a nomag in this noble institution."

Spike simply stood up, with tears in his eyes, ran to the bathroom, head down, as laughter continued to erupt from the mouths of the students.

Once inside the bathroom, he looked at the mirror right in front of him, took off his hood as he watched in humiliation as huge tears fell from his eyes, tears of rage and helplessness. Without a second thought, from his backpack he pulled out a butterfly knife, rolled up his left arm, picked up his lighter starting to burn the tip to red hot and calmed his rage as he pressed the knife into his forearm and began to tear a thin line. The intense pain he felt as the blade cut into his skin calmed his anger. When the pain became unbearable, his right hand trembled and he dropped the knife. She looked in the mirror as she watched the blood on her arm clot from the heat of the tip. Her tears dissipated at that moment.

"Think of a happy place," he said to himself, "think of a happy place. You are not here, you are in the Park of Light, next to them, there are no hurtful words, only healthy laughter and good company."

Inadvertently, a young pegasus, quite tall (1.86m) with blue hair, marked abs, dressed in blue jeans, red sneakers, orange t-shirt and light blue and white wool varsity jacket, emerged from one of the bathroom cubicles with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I hope that "they" doesn't mean my girlfriend nomag," the boy said menacingly.

Spike turned only to receive a punch in the face that knocked him to the floor, as blood trickled from his nostrils into his mouth.

"F...Flash...I didn't mean her, I swear," Spike said, catching his breath after the punch.

Flash slowly bent down and with his hand, picked up the knife from the floor that was still red hot, looked at it for a few seconds and looked Spike in the eye.

"I hope so, you nasty nomag," he said as he brought the blade of the knife close to his eye, pressing the non-cutting part of the knife to his eye. From that area, a smoke started to come out, while the boy winced from the pain of the burn.

"Because I wouldn't want a repeat of Friday's talk," he said, tightening his grip on the knife, causing Spike to stifle a gasp, "it's not nice to get blood off your clothes, especially if it's from a nomag."

Flash removed the knife and blew the cigarette smoke in Spike's face. Then he grabbed Spike by the throat with one hand, choking him as he lifted him a few inches off the ground.

"I hope you behave yourself with my girl today," he said as he squeezed her neck even tighter, "the last time you fucked up we almost broke up. I hope for your own health that doesn't happen again."

"I'll be... a... gen...tel...m...ma...man..." said Spike almost breathless.
He let go of him abruptly causing him to fall back to the ground as he clutched his own neck, catching his breath as he coughed.

Flash turned around before he left the bathroom and flicked the butt of his cigarette at Spike.
"Remember, today at the mall at 18:00," he said threateningly, "don't make her wait."

After that, he left the bathroom while Spike rested his head against the wall.

Pinkie and Fluttershy were walking down the hallway where the bathroom was, and they saw Flash coming out. He simply looked at them with seductive eyes and went to his class whistling happily. They passed through the bathroom door and saw Spike still resting and clutching his neck as he coughed. He looked them in the eyes and they looked at him for a few seconds until he realized he had a few tears of pain coming out, he put on his hood and ran out of the bathroom to his class with his head always looking at the floor.
Fluttershy and Pinkie stood watching as he ran down the hallway until he disappeared around a corner. They both had a look of sadness for the boy.

"Shy..." said Pinkie in a tone too sad to be her, "Why doesn't he go away? He's just suffering here."

This question startled Fluttershy as she had never seen genuine sadness for the nomag from anyone before, let alone her group of friends. Pinkie looked at her with her eyes on the verge of tears.

"I wish I knew," she also said with tears about to fall from her eyes, "We'd better get to class now."

With that they both started walking, wiping their eyes and a little embarrassed for having shown their sadness.

In the chemistry lab, Twilight and Applejack were at the same double desk. Twilight was looking at some samples that Professor Neighsay had sent the class to examine, Applejack was simply holding her head in her hands while her eyes were closed in thought. Taking advantage of the fact that Neighsay was looking at the computer, Twilight approached Applejack.

"Pssss...psss..." she whispered to her friend "Could you help me check the chemical reactions in the boiling of both mixtures?"

Applejack was still in the same pose absorbed in her thoughts.

"Applejack," called the cowboy girl's attention, "What's wrong with you?"

Applejack raised her eyes and looked at her friend, as she pulled her stool closer to her.

"The Fluttershy thing," said Applejack as she held up a cup with a liquid in it, "It's got me baffled. I don't know what she's hiding from us, but it definitely has something to do with him."

"Him?" said Twilight, raising an eyebrow as she wrote in her notebook, "With whom?"

At that moment, the door of the lab opened and Spike walked in, still with his head down.

Mr. Neighsay looked at him with his usual angry eyes, scratching his black goatee.

"Well, well, well," he said condescendingly, "Mr. Drake has deigned to grace us with his presence."

"Sorry, sir," Spike said, "I...I...I got sidetracked."

"Besides nomag, clueless," laughed Neighsay, "I hope you're not so clueless that you can't find your place."

Spike walked slowly between the two rows of double desks under the hateful, mean looks of his classmates.Flash was sitting a couple of desks back next to another boy, earthligh, also tall (1.87m), with tousled brown hair, good build, black eyes, wearing white pants, black sneakers and a yellow shirt. He whispered to Flash with a smile as he dropped a rubber chicken into the hallway where Spike was coming from. Spike didn't notice and when he stepped on the chicken, followed by a comical sound coming from the toy, he stumbled to the floor causing everyone to laugh at the boy.

"Good one Cheese," said Flash, clapping his hands together.

Everyone laughed except Twilight and Applejack, who looked at the nomag with indifference while Applejack with a look of suspicion that did not go unnoticed by Twilight.

"Mr. Drake," said Neighsay, "would you please stop being a jerk and get to work on the project. And the others, silence."

The boys gradually fell silent as Spike sat up and went to the back desk alone.

"He?" Twilight asked her friend who only nodded.

"Why would Fluttershy have a problem with the nomag,?" she asked again, whispering to Applejack.

"I don't know sugarcube," she said in her southern accent as they both turned to look at Spike who was writing in his notebook, "but we'll find out."

The hours inside the highschool passed and it was time for lunch. Some went outside to eat while others stayed in the huge cafeteria. The girls were sitting at a table by the window as they waited for Pinkie and Fluttershy to finish getting their food. Rainbow Dash was looking out the window while sipping on her soda, Twilight was going over some math notes while biting into an apple, Sunset was drawing in her notebook while indulging in a sandwich. Rarity was looking at her Equestrigram in her phone and eating a salad with very graceful movements. Applejack, unlike the others, was just staring at nothing, food intact and thinking. Rainbow Dash turned to her friend.

"Hey Applejack, if you're not hungry you can give me your food, next class is gymnastics and I'm going to compete against Soarin, it's at stake who will be on top when we fuck in the locker room after class.

Applejack again didn't even flinch.

"Dash dear," said Rarity, "can you think of anything other than sex, sports or partying?"

"Rarity, my friend- she said with a rogue look" Those three things are the best things in life, especially the first one and don't tell me you don't think about that because I don't believe it.

Rarity looked up from her phone facing her friend.

"Of course I think about it," she said in her princess tone, "but a lady keeps it to herself."

"Yeah, plus we have an algebra test after gym," Twilight said going over her notes, "You should review Dash."

The rainbow haired girl simply rolled her eyes.

"You take the fun out of life," she said as she looked out the window again.

"Studying once in a while won't kill you Dash," said Sunset as she signed her drawing.

"Yes it does," Dash grumbled, "from boredom."

The girls laughed except for Applejack.

"Come on" said Sunset approaching her friend "I'll help you review, it's pretty simple."

"If you say so," she said as she pulled out her friend's math book and they started to review together.

A few minutes later, Pinkie and Fluttershy appeared with their food. Pinkie looked at Dash and Sunset.

"Hello girls," she said cheerfully as she sat down across from Rarity, leaving a gap for Fluttershy across from Applejack. "What are you doing?"

"Reviewing for the fifth hour exam," said Sunset with a smile.

"What exam?" said Pinkie.

"Math test Pinkie," said Twilight, "You didn't forget?

Pinkie was speechless for a few seconds before she gasped and her hair stood on end.

"NOOOOOOOO!" shouted the hyperactive friend, "WHEN DID HE SAY IT? WHAT IS IT? IS IT HARD!? SIMPLE!? CAN I EAT THE TASTY LUNCH OR DO I HAVE TO SUFFER WHILE EATING THE SANDWICH!?"

"Calm down Pinkie- said Sunset with a chuckle" come on we're reviewing. The pink-haired girl joined her friends as they looked at the book.

Applejack looked at Fluttershy with her intimidating eyes who noticed it.

"Hey... Are you okay Applejack?" said the shy girl a bit uncomfortable while she poked her salad.

Through the door of the cafeteria then appeared in his purple hoodie Spike, which made the whole cafeteria fall silent.

Flash and Cheese were with a group of five boys who looked at him with a look of superiority and the other students with a look of contempt.

The hooded boy walked slowly through the cafeteria until he reached the table with trays.

"That weird nomag," whispered a unicorn to an earthling.

"Besides being short, he's ugly as a devil for sure," said a pegasus with her group of friends.

"I'm pretty sure he's not even ten centimeters if you know what I mean," said a unicorn.

A unicorn that was a few meters away from Spike with his magic, generated a ball of excrement and threw it at his face.

"Swallow shit nomag" he said laughing with his friends while Spike froze for a few seconds after being hit in the face with the ball of excrement. He removed a few pieces of the hood with his sleeve and continued on his way to the area where they served the food.

An elderly woman stood behind the counter, shorter in stature than Spike (1.50m), with white hair, pleasant smile dressed in a white apron, green and white plaid shirt, red corduroy pants and black cowboy boots. He served Spike his food and with a sweet smile, from under his tray, handed him a chocolate bar.

"Don't let your spirits drop, hooded gentleman," she said in her tired old person's voice, "you're a thousand times better than any of them. I wish one of my granddaughters would take after you."

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen, Granny Smith," said Spike with a faint smile, "They deserve someone better than me."
"Never think you're less than anyone else, Spike," she said trying to comfort the boy, "You're worth a lot."

Spike just smiled sadly at the old woman and whispered a thank you for the chocolate bar as he put it in the pocket of his sweatshirt.

"Hey gentelmans, check it out," said a tall (1,89m) blond haired unicorn dressed in a navy blue tuxedo, white tie, light blue shirt and black shoes with an elegant air named Albert Blueblood who was in Flash's gang.
Showing off his horn and hands, he manipulated the mashed potatoes Spike had on his tray into the shape of an alien insect and jumped at the green-haired boy's face, choking him, making him lose his balance and ending up on the table of the girls who had time to push the food away before he fell.

Everyone in the cafeteria started laughing at Spike again who, with a little luck, managed to wipe the bewitching mashed potatoes off his face and catch his breath. He looked up and noticed how all the bearers were staring at him. At that point, he ran down the hallway as students threw food at him until he vanished through the cafeteria door. Flash and his group then looked at the group of girls as they laughed. Unlike the rest, none of them did. Flash looked at Twilight and winked at her causing her to blush.

"Really," said Rarity, "How classless my Blueblood is sometimes."

The girls looked at her a bit puzzled except for Fluttershy who was simply looking down at her food with her hair covered, hiding an angry expression.

"I don't mean the nomag," said Rarity quickly, "but the mashed potatoes, it's really terrible to waste food."

Applejack looked at Fluttershy with her questioning look again.

"Why are you angry Shy," said Applejack, "I know this is all about the nomag, what did he do to you? Did he try to rape you?"

This question made the whole table attentive and silent waiting for an answer from Fluttershy who was silent and very tense.

"You can tell me, friend," said the cowboy girl with compassion in her words, "We will help you in everything you need. If that nomag has done anything to you, I swear on my mother he will pay dearly for it.

Applejack extended her arm towards the hand of her shy friend who, noticing the touch, pulled away and stood up abruptly from the table. She pulled her hair back a little, revealing a rabid eye with tears.

-Shame on us," she said as she picked up her necklace, "we don't deserve to be bearers of anything.

With that, she ran off. A pegasus from Flash's group, white-haired, muscular, medium height (1.78m) wearing a grey tracksuit with the school's team crest and white sneakers tried to stop Fluttershy.

"Baby, what's wrong?" said the pegasus who only received a blow from the girl's shoulder, pushing her hand away.

"Not now Thunderlane," said Fluttershy angrily as she left the cafeteria.

"What the hell did the dwarf do to my Fluttershy?" thought the pegasus, cracking his knuckles.

Fluttershy ran out into the school hallway trying to find Spike. That's when she looked out a window in the hallway and noticed Spike outside, sitting under a tree in the forest next to the school. He was doing something with his arm as he swung slightly with his spine as if he were a madman in a mental institution, but from a distance she didn't know what it was. Using his power, he got down on his knees as he began to glow along with his necklace.
A bird standing near where Spike stood flinched and its eyes turned yellow. With the bird's gaze, Fluttershy saw what Spike was doing which caused her to start crying inconsolably.

Spike was again cutting his forearm with his knife and carving into his skin as the blood cascaded from the wound to his elbow, where it rushed to the ground with a trickle. He was writing on his arm "Think of a happy place." As tears of pain and rage fell from her emerald eyes.

The Harmony Girls came to Fluttershy who saw her with her eyes rolling back in tears.

"Fluttershy!" shouted Rainbow who started to bring her out of her trance with some light slaps, "Fluttershy come back!"

Fluttershy came to her senses and stopped glowing. The bird shook her head back to her normal eyes and flew away.

"Fluttershy," said Twilight coming closer, "What were you doing?"

Fluttershy sat up and wiped her tears as best she could without saying a word.

"Listen," said Applejack regretfully, "if I said something that upset you, I'm really sorry. It's just that that nomag is..."

"That nomag has a name, Applejack," said Shy angrily.

"Yeah, do any of you remember what was it?" asked Rainbow rhetorically with a defiant expression, "Yeah, that's right, WhoCaresAbout, Fluttershy. Look at him, he's a stupid being who barely knows how to talk, has no friends and no magic, he hardly contributes anything to society other than getting in the way as a living being. Why do you care about him?"

This made Fluttershy, speechless, turn to her rainbow-haired friend. Silently, Fluttershy slapped her in the face and simply walked away while crying, leaving everyone, especially Rainbow like statues.

"I didn't expect that," said Sunset in surprise.

Rainbow started to cry while putting her hand where her friend had hit her. Then, she started to run after her in regret.

"Fluttershy, wait!" said Rainbow crying.

Outside the institute, Spike was looking at nothing as he passed a paper over the wound, drying the blood, letting see that the scab was forming on the phrase that had been mutilated on his forearm. Then, he heard Fluttershy and Rainbow approaching and decided to hide a few trees further away.

"Fluttershy please let's talk," She said grabbing her arm only for her to release her grip and face her friend.

"Why talk?" she said wiping her tears, "So you can insult and belittle him again like you all do?"

Rainbow was speechless again.

"Even if you don't believe it, that boy is a saint," Shy said angrily, "And I'm ashamed to be a Harmony bearer when we are hypocrites."

Rainbow then looked down for a second.

"You insult him too, Fluttershy, like we all do," said Rainbow trying to excuse herself.

"I insulted him," she said determinedly, "Not anymore."

She turned to leave but Rainbow reached her and took her hand.

"Do you think I don't know he's a saint, Fluttershy, really?" said Rainbow ashamed.

Fluttershy turned around confused by her friend's words. Rainbow then looked around.

"Tonight is poker night at my house Shy," said Rainbow, "There we can all talk and settle this matter for good. Okay?"

The shy girl looked at her athlete friend and nodded. The two girls heard the bell that started the classes.

"We have gymnastics Shy, we should go, we'll continue tonight," she said as they started walking.

From the trees emerged Spike who heard the whole conversation and watched as the two friends went to the gym and without being able to help it he looked at the bubble butt of both friends, which made him look away a little blushing. He put on his hoodie and went to the gym after them as well.
