~In the cafeteria~

It was lunchtime, Dusk and Claire were getting lunch from the cafeteria. Classes went smoothly, Dusk was pretty smart and loved learning about science here and history. There a few looks on the way, since there were stuck together like glue. As the two were getting lunch, Butterscotch was ahead of them and Dusk sparked up a conversation.

"I know we've just met, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something," he asked him, while he copied the lunch he chose.

"Of course"

" I've decided to run for Prince of the Fall Formal, and–"

Butterscotch gasped and dropped his fruits salad which spilt all over Dusk's shirt, he notices the mess he's made "Oh! Oh, gosh! Sorry!" He grabs all the napkins and scrubs furiously trying to dry off Dusk's shirt ."It's just, oh, running for Fall Formal Prince is a really bad idea."

"Why?" Claire asked while helping Butterscotch dry off Dusk shirt. Once they were done Butterscotch threw them away and placed her hands on Dusk's shoulders.

"Sunburst Glare wants to be Fall Formal Prince, and when he wants something, he gets it! He'll make life awful for anyone who stands in his way. Just ask the boy who ran against him for Prince of the Spring Fling," he says, while the trio continues to get lunch.

"I have to try!" Dusk states as they followed Butterscotch to a table.

"Oh, I don't think you understand. You'd have to convince everyone here to vote for you instead of her: the athletes, the fashionistas, the dramas, the eco-kids, the techies, the rockers...," he points out different groups of people in the cafeteria.

Dusk looked confuse "Why is everypony-" Barbra pos out of his bag and smack his forehead and ducks back in "Uh, everybody separated this way?"

"Maybe it was different at your old school, but at CHS, everybody sticks to their own kind. One thing that they do have in common is that they know Sunburst Glare is gonna rule the school until we graduate." They sat down at their table.

"Not if I can help it!" Claire declares, gaining both of the boy's attention "I said I'll help Dusk get that crown and that's what I'll do no matter what. We have to show people you're the complete opposite of Sunburst and what an actual prince should be. You kind, caring and cute just like Butterscotch." She said which causes Butterscotch to blush. "We are getting you that crown Dusk!"

"Yeah!" Dusk cheered and grabbing his apple with his mouth and chewed on it.

Clare giggles "Let's go to the head of the party planning committee?"

~In the main hall~

Claire opened the door to the main hall and the trio walked in "He should be in here, His name is-" She was interrupted by someone yelling.

"Incoming!" The three ducked as a bunch of streamers came flying towards them. They ended up covered in colourful streamers, Dusk stood up and helped Claire as well "Bubble Berry!"

He turned around while blowing a balloon. Dusk stared at Bubble for a minute "Bubble Berry?" Bubble Berry lets go of the ballon and jump towards Claire wrapping his arms around her "Claire! What are you doing here?" Before she could answer he turned around and notices Dusk, he gasps "A NEW FACE!" He exclaimed.

He grabbed him by the shirt and looked into his eyes "Are you a psychic?"

Dusk looked puzzled "Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless of course, that's something you can do here."

He lets him go and shrugs "Not usually." He goes back and blows another balloon, standing rather closely to Claire. Once he was done blowing his ballon he looked at Claire. "Bubble Berry this is my distant cousin Dusk, he just came to school for a few days."

"Well, welcome to Canterlot High Dusk!" What can I help you with?"

"Butterscotch said this is where I'd find the head of the Fall Formal planning committee."

Bubble's expression changed quickly "Butterscotch huh? Don't let that sweet name fool you. He can be a real meanie."

"You two aren't friends?" Dusk asked.

"No they aren't, they had a huge fight and since then, they haven't spoken to each other," Claire answered.

Bubble was once again inches away from Dusk's face eyed him from every angle "Now that I'm really looking at you...Do you have a twin brother who lives in the city, has a pet dog named Barabra that looks just like that one?"

"Um...maybe?"

"Thought so. Anyhoo, just need to fill this out and you are officially up for the coveted Prince of the Fall Formal crown." He holds out a clipboard and pulls out a pen out of his hair. Bubble smiles, but the light violet face shifts into a puzzled face after a long, silent moment, he grins and clamps his teeth on the end of the pen. Bubble's smile never flattens and Claire mentally faced palmed as Dusk racks his brain on how to use the pen. He glanced towards Claire, who gestures secretly gestured to her hands.

He plucked it out of his mouth and clumsily scribbled something on the clipboards. Bubble turns it around for a look, what he sees makes the board briefly pop out of his grip. "Wow! You have really bad handwriting. It's like you never held a pen before."

Dusk let out a nervous chuckle dropping the pen and scratching his head "It is?"

The door slammed open and a voice follows it was a thick southern accent, this gets their attention quickly "Somebody order a dozen cases of fizzy apple cider?" Applejack came in carrying crates.

"Ooh, ooh! Me!" Bubble shouted running towards applejack, who was sitting down the crate. Taking off off the hat and wiping his forehead. "Me, me, me! Me! Yeah! Uh-huh! Me!"

Dusk was taken back by the new arrival, his jaw dropped and Claire gently closed it.

"Can you bring in the rest?" Applejack yelled out.

"Ee-yup," in walks in Big Mac with four crates and Applejack takes the top crate off, he stops and spots dusk and Claire.

"Howdy Claire, whatcha doing here?" Before she could answer he looked wide-eyed at Dusk "Hey, I know you!"

"You do?"

He sets the crates down and pulled out a bottle "Sure! You're the new guy who gave Sunburst Glare the what-for today." He popped the cap with his teeth, and takes a swig as Bubble comes into view "Dusk Shine here is gonna run against Sunburst Glare for Prince of the FallFormal."

The mouthful of cider Applejack is working on finds its way back out meanwhile, the pink party-lover blows up the balloon in her hand and floats up.

Applejack looks at Dusk in disbelief "I'd think twice about that," Bubble drifts past "Oh, sure, he'll probably approach you all friendly-like..."

He yanks Bubble back to the floor, grabs the balloon from his mouth, and starts drawing on it while the latter goes to work on a fresh round one. Cut to a point a few feet above the floor; the heart balloon is held up into view, now bearing a rough sketch of a beaming Sunburst.

"I sure am lookin' forward to some friendly competition," Applejack says mimicking Sunburst voice. His other hand hoists the second one, decorated with Dusk's face. He mimics Dusk's voice "That's so good to hear." he goes back to his normal voice "But then." He turns the Sunburst balloon around, showing a pin taped to that side. "Here come the backstabbing "

One quick jab and Dusk's avatar has burst into a scatter of rubber scraps; the stunned real one watches as they drift down around his. Applejack lets go of the Sunburst balloon, but a quick jump and mouth-grab by Bubble save it from the rafters

"About the only by at this school you can trust less than Sunburst is Rainbow Blitz," Applejack sneered, Claire rolled her eyes.

"Rainbow Blitz?" Dusk asked.

Bubble bounces past on a gigantic balloon "He's the captain of a lie every team at Cnaterlot High."

"He's also the captain of sayin' he's gonna do somethin' for you, and then turnin' around and not even botherin' to show up!" Applejack ranted.

"Did you even bother to ask why he didn't come or something could have happened," Claire questioned.

He looked away, still looking angry "No because he bailed on me and he knew it was important."

"Are you sure about that?"

"I've never been more sure in mah life."

Dusk came in between them and faced him "Thanks for the advice, Applejack, but this is something I really need to do."

He shrugged his shoulders "Hmph. Suit yourself," He looked at him suspiciously "Hey...how'd you know my name was Applejack?"

"I told him about you," Claire answered quickly.

Dusk looked nervous "Well, uh, it was sure nice meeting you both. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around!" He rushes out the door.

Before Claire left, she took Applejacks apple cider, drank a bit from it, and then handed it back to him. "Thanks," she said and ran off to find Dusk.

Bubble pops beside him and watches her run off "That one's trying to hide a secret, but I am totally on to him." He leaned in and whispered, "He's a psychic!"

Applejack wasn't really listening and was looking at the bottle Claire just drank out of but just hummed to agree with whatever Bubble said.

He was quickly snapped out of his daze by the sound of the doors being thrown open. The students came in; Sunburst, Snips, and Snails.

"This looks terrible!" Sunburst fumed, he strides to the centre of the court "There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons!"

"Yeah streamer," Snips said, ripping a streamer in two.

"And fewer balloons," Snip says, attempting to pop a balloon but ends up falling.

Sunset walks towards where the crates of apple cider were, he held up a bottle "Fizzy apple cider? Ugh! This is my coronation, not a hoedown!"

"Well, now, it ain't necessarily gonna be your coronation this time around," Applejack stated. Sunburst whips over into his face, which causes Bubble to be thrown off balance.

"Oh, is that so?," He turned Applejack's hat backwards, pulling it over his face. "You countryfolk really aren't that bright. Must be why the other students say such awful things about you."

The crown flips up to expose a pair of indignant green eyes and a circle of a face that has gone red and steaming with fury. A barely suppressed growl floats up through the opening, across the way, Sunburst approaches the stage

"Obviously it's gonna be my coronation, I'm running unopposed"

"Not this time! The new boy just signed up," Bubble help up the clipboard "Plus Claire is helping him."

"What!?" Sunburst snatch the clipboard and looked closely at the board.

"I know," he laughed "His handwriting is really bad.

He had a menacing look, his voice deepened "Where is this Dusk Shine and Claire Rosalind?"

Looking around himself, he realizes that he is getting a bit too much attention from Applejackand Bubble and quickly shifts gears with a laugh. Applejack has his hat back on the right way around, crown and all.

"I'm looking forward to meeting the competition."

Party organizer and country girl exchange a slightly bewildered look as they watch Sunburst leave.
