Author's Note

Here it is. Sorry for the long wait.

Chapter 6: School Time (Rewrite at 09/10/2022)

Silverbolt was still fast asleep on his bed, tossing and turning whilst he was dreaming at the same time. That was, until someone knocked the door to his Commander hard, making him stand up and feel groggy at the same time. The knocking kept on happening.

“I’m coming, I’m coming.” said Silverbolt, but he had failed to notice that he wasn’t wearing any clothes. He then opened the door and said “Yes?”

“Oh my.” said a voice as she blushed, for it was none other than Vice-Principle Luna.

“Oh, shoot.” said Silverbolt as he felt embarrassed and said “Uh, sorry about that.”, whilst he quickly got dressed.

However, Luna took a good look at him and said “Wait, I recognize that body anywhere.”

She then remembered that face and body from a long time ago, then was surprised to see it was that very man.

“Silverbolt? Is that you?” asked a stunned Luna.

Silverbolt was fully dressed, but he somehow recognized her too. “Lulu? Is that you?”

The two of them were surprised to see one another, with him crossing his arms, saying “Wow. You look good. It’s been fifteen years now, but, wow.”

Vice-Principle Luna blushed a bit and stroked her hair and said “Er, yes. You haven’t changed a bit since I last saw you.”

“Yeah,” said Silverbolt “Sorry for being uh, indecent and all.”

“Oh, it’s quite alright.” said Luna “I was wondering who’s vehicle it was. You never could resist buying something like this.”

“True.” said Silverbolt, but then he stepped out and gave her a hug, which surprised her as he said “It’s good to see you again.”

Luna couldn’t help but smile and do the same and said “You too.”

They then broke the hug and said “Also, how are things between you and Celestia? I mean, the last time I saw you, you ran away when you were still in High School because you had a falling out with your family.”

“Oh, it went better actually.” said Luna.

“I hope so.” said Silverbolt “Last time I saw you, you were very angry and upset with Celestia. So, I chose to stick by you and help out, try for you to help get back on your feet. Even paid for college in order for you to continue with your education.”

“Indeed.” said Luna “I can’t thank you enough for that.”

“So, what happened?” said Silverbolt as he was curious.

“After I was done, I reached out to Celestia.” said Luna “I…didn’t leave on good terms and I tried to apologize to her for what happened between us. Instead of rejecting me, she welcomed me with open arms. Even offered to run Canterlot High with her.”

She smiled and said “I was happy that I was reunited with my sister.”

“Glad to hear it.” said Silverbolt “Last thing anyone needs is a broken heart. I couldn’t bear to watch you suffer.”

“But you always helped me,” said Luna “And for that I thank you.”

“Which one?” asked Silverbolt playfully whilst placing both his hands in his pockets “Cause if I remember, during your Spring Break, you invited me to spend some time with you, especially that night?”

Luna couldn’t help but blush at that and playfully slapped his shoulder “You really did know how to show a girl a good time.”

“That I did.” said Silverbolt, then he rubbed the back of his head as he said “Unfortunately it became super awkward when you found out that I also dated your sister a while back, even she wanted me to have wild night with her.”

“I haven’t forgotten,” said Luna as she blushed and giggled “Although you did try out that one spell and we both ended up enjoying. Making two copies of yourself. That was clever.”

“I know.” said Silverbolt, but then he chuckled again, then looked at Luna and said “But we’ll always have Silver Shoals.”

Luna couldn’t help but smile fondly and said “We’ll always have Silver Shoals.”

Silverbolt then cleared his throat and said “So, what can I do for you?”

Luna cleared her throat and said “Though I am happy that it’s you, I’m afraid you’ll have to remove this vehicle on the premises.”

“Yeah, sorry about that.” said Silverbolt as he rubbed the back of his head “But rest assured it will be gone by the end of the day.”

“Oh?” said Luna “Are you moving back?”

“Sure am.” said Silverbolt “I’ve been gone for too long, plus I wouldn’t mind going back to school again. Gotta relearns everything for the new century after all.”

Luna couldn’t help but smile and said “It would be good to have you around. Things haven’t been the same without you.”

“I’m glad to be back. Plus, we could catch up with old times.” said Silverbolt “By the way, how’s things going with Pharynx and Celestia with Sombra?”

“Oh, we’re doing very well.” said Luna with a smile “We got married to them a few years ago and gained children of our own.”

“That’s good to hear.” said Silverbolt with a smile “You deserve a happy ending.”

“Thank you.” said Luna, but then she looked at the time and said “Well, I’d better open up the school. See you soon?”

“Sure thing.” said Silverbolt.

But just as Silverbolt turned around, Luna suddenly grabbed him and kissed him full on the mouth, which surprised him greatly. She slowly pulled the kiss back and kept her smirk, saying “It’s good to have you back.”

She soon left and playfully swayed her hips to gain his attention, which he couldn’t help but chuckle “Same old Luna.”

He soon went back in and began to clean up, for he knew school would be starting soon and he needed to get ready.

He went around from every part of his Commander and began to clean up and made sure it was nice and tidy, afterwards, he took a quick shower and then dried himself off. But as he did, he looked at himself in the mirror, and saw the scars all over. He really had been through a lot since he got to this world. But it didn’t matter, for as long as the world was safe, a few scars wouldn’t matter. He continued on and began to make breakfast.

***********************************************************************************************************
After he was done cleaning himself and the place up, he looked at the time and realized that it would be another hour before school was opened. So, he still had some time. He made himself some coffee, and some toast. After he buttered about six slices of toast, he went “Butter toast!” in a goofy manner, making him laugh at that. For even though he hadn’t been home for a long time, he had been catching up on most television shows that have aired over the years. Just before the kettle finished boiling and after he was done making some toast and waffles, he heard a knock on the door. He went over and lore and behold, it was none other than Sunset. He couldn’t help but smile and open the door.

“Hey, Sunset. Morning.”

“Morning to you too.” said Sunset with her own smile.

“What brings you here on this early morning?” asked Silverbolt.

“Oh, not much.” said Sunset “I got up early and I decided to come here to see you.”

“Oh, cool.” said Silverbolt, but he couldn’t help but blush when she told him why she came, which she noticed and began to blush too.

She then smelled something and said “Ooh, is that coffee?”

“Want some?” offered Silverbolt “I also made some waffles and toast in case you’re interested.”

“Oh, please.” said Sunset as she walked in, she noticed the place was a little clean and said “I see you decided to clean the place up.”

“Yep,” said Silverbolt as he poured Sunset some coffee and placed some toast and waffles on another plate “I like to keep this place clean, even when I’m on the road.”

He placed the plate toast and waffles on the table, whilst he placed her coffee near her. She took a sip and liked the taste. “Mmm, that’s really good.”

“You like it?” said Silverbolt “It’s a special brand I made myself. During my travels I kept learning new recipes for making coffee. Till one day I made my own mix, and lore and behold, I was able to make my own handmade coffee.”

“Wow, you weren’t kidding when you said you expanded your culinary skills.” said Sunset.

“I know right,” said Silverbolt as he took a sip “So what’s up?”

“Oh, I just wanted to see you again.” said Sunset, then thought deeply whilst she said “And when you spoke to Twilight yesterday. It almost sounded like…Princess Celestia talking.”

He then noticed the look on her face, and said “You must really admire her.”

“More than anything.” said Sunset “She was the closest thing to a mom I ever wanted. But because of my greed…”

“Don’t blame yourself,” said Silverbolt “To be fair, Canterlot wasn’t exactly an ideal place where they could teach others how to make friends, instead the influence of politicians and noble rankings ended up giving other students the wrong idea. Hence why ever since I helped them set up the educational system, we would make schools in small towns rather than cities like Canterlot, away from the influence of politics, and have the young taught them in a safe situation. But I guess not everyone got the message.”

Silverbolt sighed and looked away. “Makes me wonder what would’ve happened if we had built the school at a friendlier environment rather than the Capitol city of Equestria itself. Or if I had stayed in Equestria and managed the school there rather than anyone else.”

Sunset took a guess and said “Probably the same thing?”

He looked at her and smirked whilst saying “Not exactly.”

He took out an orb and showed her. “I developed this artifact a while back. It allows us to see certain world’s histories of what it would’ve looked like if things had been different rather than how others wanted it to be. It’s quite fascinating.”

He extended the artifact to her whilst saying “Here, let me show you.”

Sunset held onto the artifact, causing it to glow and engulf them inside. When she opened her eyes, she saw everything around her was exactly the room in Canterlot that Celestia talked to her all those years ago.

To her surprise, she saw Princess Celestia, talking to her pony self from when she was younger.

“You must learn to make friends.” said Princess Celestia.

“But, why?” said Unicorn Sunset.

Sunset expected the same scenario, but to her surprise, she saw Silverbolt, but as a pony, which was surprising, since it was as if she was staring at a living legend.

“Because friends can bring happiness,” said Alicorn Silverbolt, which surprised the Unicorn Sunset “I know that you’re happy when it comes to magic, friends can be just as magical.”

“Just as magical?” said a confused Unicorn Sunset.

“When you make friends,” said Alicorn Silverbolt as he sat down and spoke to her “You’ll feel a certain spark within you. In the short run, it may sound ridiculous, but in the long run, you’ll realize that you’ll end up making memories along the way. Friends can also help you in the long run. When you’re knocked down, or when you fall, they’ll help you stand up. When you’re struggling, they’ll help you along the way. When you feel lonely, they’ll always stand by your side.”

“How…” said unicorn Sunset “How will I know when I found a friend? Where do I start?”

“Starting is easy.” said Silverbolt “Cause you can count me as one of them.”

He ended up pulling Unicorn Sunset into a hug and ruffled her mane, making her giggle at the same time.

“Couldn’t have said it better myself master.” said Princess Celestia.

Then fast forwarding, she was a little older, in her late teens. She continued to study magic, but with Silverbolt by her side. But then she tried to make friends, it didn’t work. Unicorn Sunset went back with a saddened look on her face, but then she saw Alicorn Silverbolt sitting there, waiting for her as he gently tapped on his seat, making her smile, for there was at least one pony she was happy to see. She sat next to him and ate some ice cream that he bought for them.

“Rough day?” said Alicorn Silverbolt.

“Constantly.” said Sunset “I just don’t know what went wrong. I tried to be friendly, I tried to be nice, but nothing I tried was working.”

“Hmmm,” pondered Alicorn Silverbolt as he looked around, then smiled and said “I think I know what the problem is.”

“You do?” asked Unicorn Sunset.

“Yep, its Canterlot in general.” said Alicorn Silverbolt, Sunset was surprised as she saw this scenario.

“What’s wrong with it?” asked Sunset “It’s the capitol of Equestria…”

“And also, home to the country’s biggest snobs.” said Alicorn Silverbolt, which confuses Sunset. He looked at her and said “When Equestria was founded, many ponies chose to help the kingdom prosper. Many of them helped many lands, towns, villages and cities to grow overtime and soon gain the title of Lord and Lady over the land and the places they govern, helping it turn into the kingdoms they are, even after Princess Celestia and Princess Luna took over.”

He looked ahead of the city and said “But as time went by, as many didn’t realize until it was too late, many took over companies that their ancestors built, as well as being in charge of managing finances, militaries and so on, they let the wealth and power go straight to their heads. They immediately think that they should be in charge and most times they would do whatever it took to take over Equestria with an iron hoof, without thinking of the consequences that would follow. In the end, they only cared about themselves and let other creatures from other kingdoms see ponykind as a xenophobic race who wouldn’t lift a hoof to help others who are struggling, like helping Griffonstone with their financial problems, because the ponies in charge think that they own everything.”

He looked at her and said “Remember Chancellor Neighsay?”

“Ugh,” groaned Sunset whilst rolling her eyes and said “How can I not?”

“He thinks that he calls the shots.” said Alicorn Silverbolt “But he’s in charge of private schools, meaning he’s a minor political figure. But he lets the power go to his head, and because of that, he thinks he’s better than anypony else. Remember the Hippogriffs that wanted to study here?”

Unicorn Sunset blinked in surprise, remembering that day “Yes, and he started a war with another kingdom because of his insults.”

“And why I had him arrested and fired.” said Alicorn Silverbolt. “Point is, when Unicorns want to learn, sometimes power goes to their head and they never think things through. I remembered what happened to my last student who ended up letting power go straight to their heads. She thinks that I’m an unstoppable deity, she also thinks the same thing about Celestia and Luna, but she didn’t realize that we’re just ponies like them, even if we do live longer lives.”

“So…where will I go to learn to make friends?” asked Sunset.

Alicorn Silverbolt pondered again, then said “Tell you what? Follow me.”

Sunset joined Silverbolt and walked down towards the train station. The two of them enjoyed the train ride whilst enjoying the scenery. The two of them climbed off from the station and arrived at a small town.

“Whoa,” said Sunset as she looked around “What is this place?”

“This, Sunset Shimmer,” said Silverbolt as he guided her through town “Is called Ponyville. It may not look much, but this town has got quite the atmosphere on them. You won’t find a place more honest, loyal, kind, generous and full of laughter than the ponies of Ponyville.”

Sunset looked around and was amazed by what she saw. So many ponies, being friendly with one another, happy together, even seeing different ponies hanging out and laughing together. She then perked up and realized something.

“Wait,” said Sunset as she looked at Silverbolt “I recognize some of this, they were the lessons you tried to teach me.”

“Glad you caught on.” Said Silverbolt with a smirk and looked at her “I have spent much time here and I can see that friendship over here, is stronger than anything else in Equestria. Other places like Van Hoover, Manehattan and so on may be great, but nothing can hold a true candle to a place like this.”

When all of a sudden, a couple of party cannons went off, surprising Sunset, but not Silverbolt as the two of them stood there.

“Surprise!!” exclaimed a familiar pony with a bright smile “Welcome to Ponyville!!”

“I know throwing parties is your thing, Pinkie Pie,” said Silverbolt after a small chuckle “But you don’t have to do it for me all the time.”

“But I like to,” said Pinkie Pie when she got closer “Especially with a new friend!!”

“Uh…” was all what Sunset could say as she didn’t know how to respond to this.

“You know what,” said Silverbolt “Pinkie, do you happen to be busy planning someone’s birthday today?”

“But of course!!” exclaimed the party pony “Bright Macintosh and Buttercup asked me to help organize a party!! And what better way to throw one at the farm, where there are plenty of ponies who can attend!!”

“Well then, why don’t you ask her to come along with you?” said Silverbolt, gesturing to Sunset, which surprised her. “She’s new to Ponyville and she really wants to learn more about friendship.”

He leaned over and whispered to her “She’s been having trouble trying to make friends at Canterlot, so I was hoping…”

Pinkie gasped loudly and exclaimed “I thought you’d never ask!!”

Pinkie instantly darted over to Sunset and asked with a wide smile and grin “How good are you with decorating and preparing treats?!”

“Uh…” said Sunset, but then she glanced at Silverbolt, who had a calm smile and gestured to answer her question. “Well, I did help my teacher organize a party for the other students, and I did help bake treats…”

“Perfect!!” exclaimed Pinkie as she instantly grabbed her and said “Come on, we got some planning to do!!”

Pinkie dragged Sunset along with her, with Sunset looking back where her mentor stood, whilst at the same time, he gestured her into following her, which she did.

Within an hour, they saw the entire party at full swing. And Sunset was nervous of whom to interact. And there she saw the Mane 5; aka, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. The five friends were having some fun conversations. She then felt someone was standing by her side, and saw Silverbolt.

“Remember,” said Silverbolt “Part of a good friend, means taking the first step.”

Sunset looked at them again, gulped, and walked over to them. From afar, Silverbolt smiled as he saw that Sunset was having a conversation with them. At first, she seemed nervous, but overtime she became relaxed and had fun conversations with them.

After the party, Silverbolt and Sunset walked back to the station, with Silverbolt noticing that she looked sad.

“Something wrong Sunset?” asked a curious Silverbolt.

“It’s just…” said Sunset as she felt nervous, but then she looked at Silverbolt and said “I’ve made so much great friends. And just when I found out how amazing they are. I have to leave them behind.”

Silverbolt smiled. He stopped her and said “Then I have a proposition for you then my student.”

“Silverbolt?” said Sunset as she was somewhat confused.

Silverbolt then sat down and said “I, Silverbolt, hereby decree that Sunset Shimmer, shall take a mission of my choosing for the good of Equestria. You must continue to study the magic of friendship, and from every lesson you learned, you will report to me, from your new home in Ponyville. But only send them, whenever you learn them.”

Sunset was taken aback by this, and she couldn’t help but smile and shed a tear and was happy. But then she blinked and said “Are you sure?”

“Sunset,” said Silverbolt as he held her shoulder “Just as it’s a student’s job to trust their teacher, I trust you with my life more than anything else in Equestria. You have both my blessings and my trust.”

Sunset hugged Silverbolt, which he returned the gesture.

“Also,” said Silverbolt, gaining his student’s attention. “Keep an eye out when the Summer Sun Celebration starts. In time, you’ll meet another Unicorn, who will be on the same journey as you. And once she gets here, both of you, must learn and look out for one another, together.”

Sunset was surprised and asked “Who?”

Silverbolt smiled and kissed her on the forehead, which surprised her whilst she blushed. “In time my student. In the meantime, I’ve already took the liberty of building you a house and all of your belongings are there. And when I have the time, I will come visit soon. Farewell my student.”

Silverbolt flew off to Canterlot, with Sunset watching as she couldn’t help but smile and kept her blush at the same time.

Shortly a while later, Twilight came along, where Sunset was waiting for her.

“Who are you?” asked Twilight.

“My name is Sunset Shimmer.” Said the Unicorn “I’m Silverbolt’s student.”

“Wait, Silverbolt?!” said Twilight in shock “As in Celestia’s old teacher?!”

“That’s right.” Said Sunset. “He also tells me you’re really stubborn when it comes to making friends.”

Spike chuckled and said “He’s not wrong there.”

Twilight gave him a glare, until Sunset chuckled and said “Come on Twilight, Silverbolt never misses a detail. He even mentioned that he caught you sleeping on top of two stacks of books and your smarty pants doll…as well as being covered in custard pie.”

Twilight grumbled at that whilst she blushed in embarrassment. Sunset then held onto her and said “Come on, we still got a ton to do.”

“Wait, what?” said Twilight surprised whilst the two walked together.

“Silverbolt said the two of us should oversee the festivities for the summer sun celebration.” Said Sunset, “We’re both organized and we both work hard in order to produce results.”

“Huh, can’t argue with that.” Said Twilight, agreeing with the Unicorn.

“And whilst we’re at it, I can help you meet my friends.” Said Sunset. Until she noticed the look on Twilight’s face. “I know, it’ll feel strange at first, but once you give them a chance, I think you’ll get along great with them.”

The scenes then play out during the whole adventures, when Sunset introduced the rest of the Mane 6 to Twilight. Though it was rocky, Sunset was able to give them a chance. Then when Nightmare Moon came along, they all thought Princess Celestia and Silverbolt were kidnapped, so they had to find a way to rescue them. After going through the book about the Elements of Harmony, they quickly went to the forest, until Sunset heard a whistle. She looked and saw Silverbolt. She quickly went over to hug him.

“I was so worried.” Said Sunset. “But why didn’t you stop Nightmare Moon.”

“Because it’s no longer my destiny to fight the forces of evil.” Said Silverbolt “The time has come to pass the Elements of Harmony down to the next worthy bearers.”

“But…there’s only six.” Said Sunset.

“Are you sure?” said Silverbolt. He then held her shoulder and said “Remember Sunset, even though others tend to act hostile, sometimes it doesn’t hurt to be the voice of reason. A voice of peace, if you will.”

“What are you saying?” asked Sunset.

He smiled and said “You’ll soon see my student. Until then, continue to be the voice of reason, and help guide those who need it.”

Soon Silverbolt disappeared whilst Sunset was baffled by his words. But she remembered his words and the two of them ran off. Soon they began to go through different parts of the forest, where each would be honest, kind, laugh, generous and loyal. However, through the journey as some began to argue, Sunset was able to calm them down and be a voice of reason, which she was thankful that they listened. When they faced Nightmare moon, the Element Bearers became known. However, to Nightmare Moon and the girls’ surprise, Sunset also received an element, and she became the Element of Peace.

Since then they went to many adventures. Sunset helped Twilight see reason when she was panicking over a friendship report, and before Twilight’s brother’s wedding, Sunset convinced Twilight that the others won’t be of help because they’re easily fooled, and that they needed proof. At first, Twilight said that she knew Cadance for a long time, but Sunset told her that it wasn’t going to be enough to convince them.

Then after careful planning, they were able to find a spell to reveal one’s true form, and within a split second, they used the spell to expose the fake Cadance, which allowed them to quickly overpower her and defeat her. Celestia apologized for not seeing this sooner, but Sunset reassured that it could happen to anyone.

Then at the Crystal Empire, as both Sunset and Twilight tried to find the Crystal Heart, Silverbolt came to stop Sombra once and for all. Soon enough, they were able to help save the Empire, thanks to Spike’s help and Silverbolt was able to defeat him. Then when it came to Discord, Sunset was able to help find a compromise.

In the end, when they tried to look over an untested spell, Twilight accidentally casted it and switched her friends’ talents, except for her and Sunset. The two of them quickly tried to fix things. And when they fixed the spell, the elements reacted and were about to strike Twilight. Sunset suddenly jumped in and tried to help Twilight, and within a split moment, the elements engulfed the two of them in a great light. Both Celestia and Silverbolt congratulated the both of them and in turn, made the two of them Princesses. After they got back to Ponyville, Silverbolt gave both Twilight and Sunset titles. He announced Twilight to be the Princess of Friendship, and Sunset the Princess of Peace.

Silverbolt then summoned the two of them, telling them of a rogue pony, who was once his student, was going rogue over there. Her name was Dusk Dawn, and she wanted to be a Princess, but Silverbolt had sensed darkness in her heart and refused to make her. Then she went rogue and tried to destroy Canterlot, so Silverbolt had no choice but to banish her to another dimension. So he asked the two of them to come along. When they come along to the other side, they were turned to humans, though thanks to Silverbolt, the two of them quickly adjusted. When they were at a school, filled with their friends’ counterparts, they united them and thanks to the powers of harmony, they used the Magic of Friendship to defeat her.

After Dusk Dawn’s defeat, they took her back to Equestria for punishment, and Silverbolt dubbed the human version of her friends the Guardians of Harmony of this school, and asked them to help unite the school’s lost spirit and friendships, and he promises them that they would come back one day, but that they would also look for the human versions of Twilight and Sunset, saying that if they’re like them, they also need to understand friendship.

Then they faced more like Tirek, and they also helped Starlight see the path, then helped stopped the Dazzlings when they went back to the human world. Silverbolt then taught Sunset the spell for her to cross over, which she used to visit the Rainbooms on the weekends because she grew fond of them. Together, they opened a new school, then helped human Twilight by having her transferred to CHS.

Once Silverbolt was done with what he wanted to show her, the orb stopped glowing and everything faded away. Sunset was surprised by what she witnessed.

“Wow,” said Sunset “So that’s what would’ve happened if you were there.”

“There were many other versions.” Said Silverbolt “Many simulations and many possibilities of how your path would be. Whether to go to Earth or someone in Equestria. Whether to be good or evil, I’m not sure, but each of them have their own stories to tell.”

“But, one thing I don’t understand,” said Sunset as she looked at him “Last time I remembered, Twilight was still a filly when I was Princess Celestia’s student. How come I’m the same age as her there?”

“In that world, you two are the same age.” Said Silverbolt “In that world, whilst Celestia was ruling Equestria, I made sure to have time to teach both you and Twilight. I always try to make time for my students.”

He held onto her shoulder and said “Look, Sunset, I know you didn’t ask for the life you had, going down a path to darkness, resenting your teacher, coming here and did things that you regretted. And you didn’t ask your friends to be involved in all of this. We all did things that we’re not proud of that we wish we could erase. But what’s done is done and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. The only thing we can do is move on and continue with the path that was laid before us.”

He held onto her other shoulder and said “But ever since the Battle of the Bands, you’ve accomplished so much since you redeemed yourself. And you changed so many lives and made new friends along the way, making sure that all of them have a bright future. Don’t ever sell yourself short. The way I see it, seeing what you did…you already are a Princess.”

She couldn’t help but smile and look down and ended up shedding a tear, for it had been quite a ride for her, even though it wasn’t what she had in mind. Silverbolt gently held the side of her face and made her look at him, whilst at the same time, he wiped the tear off of her face. The two of them ended up smiling at one another. And as fate would have it, ended up going closer, and during that moment, Sunset couldn’t help but slowly plant her lips on his, causing both of their eyes to close as they enjoyed it. However, in doing so, both of their Equestrian Magic began to glow brightly. Sunset’s red aura and Silverbolt’s grey. But at the same time, they gained their pony ears and tail, whilst Silverbolt gained his wings.

They both continued to glow whilst he slowly wrapped his arms around hers, making the two of them slowly collapse onto the couch as he held her close, with Sunset enjoying the embrace. If one were to look outside, there would be a bright light shining from inside. Both Sunset and Silverbolt continued to embrace one another as their lips were still connected.

Their lips slowly departed, whilst their eyes were closed. But as they did, the bright light faded and their pony forms reverted back to normal. Their eyes slowly opened whilst they blushed and the smiles were still on their faces.

“Now that, was…,” said Sunset.

“Magical?” said Silverbolt.

Sunset couldn’t help but snort as she nearly wanted to laugh, and ended up playfully rubbed his head. They suddenly heard the sound of beeping, which they looked and noticed that it was about a few minutes before school started. They looked at one another and smiled.

“I’ll wait for you inside.” said Sunset as she stood up “See you in a bit.”

Sunset walked towards the door, but looked at him with half lidded eyes and a smile, which Silverbolt did the same as he sat up. She soon left whilst Silverbolt couldn’t help but look up whilst standing up and leaned against the counter.

“Maybe it is time I started dating again.” said Silverbolt to himself.

*********************************************************************************************************

Later during the day, Silverbolt began to attend class on his first day of school. He and the other students were busy being taught by Ms. Harshwinny. He couldn’t help but have a feeling that she looked familiar, especially that posterior, which he had a feeling he had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn’t put a finger on where. He decided to ignore it and decided to get to work. However, unknown to him, Ms. Harshwinny was looking back at Silverbolt for some reason.

When the class was over, Silverbolt was just about to stand up, until someone accidentally bumped into him, resulting that person to fall down, which surprised Silverbolt.

“Oh crud,” said Silverbolt as he quickly went over to help him up. “You okay there?”

“Yeah, I’m good.” said the person as he got up.

Silverbolt noticed that he was wearing jeans, some sandals, as well as a shirt that was nearly the same color as Fluttershy’s dress. He was wearing a badge that looked like the Canterlot Animal Shelter.

“You work at the animal shelter?” asked Silverbolt.

“Yeah, um,” said the person, which Silverbolt noticed that he was a bit shy “I work there because I love the animals and I well, um…want to be close to a certain girl.”

Silverbolt quirked an eyebrow at that. Makes sense, if you work at a place to get close to a girl you like, then why not.

Silverbolt smiled and said “That’s quite admirable. You must really like her.”

“Oh, I do.” said the person “We met before the Fall Formal. We became close after that and I well, gathered the nerve to ask her out. At first, she was shy, but we were able to hit it off well. She and I have been together for two years now.”

“Wow, nice one man.” said Silverbolt as he smirked.

“Thanks.” said the young man.

“Name’s Silverbolt.” said Silverbolt as he presented his hand.

“Nice to meet you, um…” said the young man as he slowly presented his hand too “I’m Velvet Heart.”

As they shook hands, their eyes glowed out of the blue, like if something possessed them. After a few seconds, they quickly let go as their eyes stopped glowing. The two looked at one another and were both puzzled.

“Uh, see you later.” said Silverbolt.

“Um…sure.” said Velvet Heart as he quickly left. But as he left, he suddenly gained pony ears, tail and wings like a Pegasus, whilst muttering “Where did that come from?”

Silverbolt on the other hand looked really confused, then said “What the heck was that about?”

Silverbolt was about to leave, until…

“Not so fast Mr. Bolt.”

Silverbolt stopped and looked at Harshwinny, with the woman sitting on the desk and looking at him. She kept a harsh look on her, which he still couldn’t put his finger on, for he had a feeling that he had seen her somewhere before.

“Please close the door and come over here. I’d like to discuss something with you.” said Ms. Harshwinny.

He closed the door and walked over to her. But the moment he stood close to her, she instantly grabbed him and kissed him, which took him by shock. And right out of the blue, his hands grabbed her ass, making her squeak during the kiss. After the strange compassionate kiss, she looked at him right in the eye with a smirk.

“Long time no see Silvy.” said Ms. Harshwinny.

Silverbolt widened his eyes in surprise, for he knew one person who called her that.

“No way.” said Silverbolt as he recognized her “Winnie? Is that you?”

Ms. Harshwinny couldn’t help but blush and smirk with that comment “Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in years.”

“And you haven’t changed one bit.” said Silverbolt with a smirk. But then he noticed how her chest was snug underneath her blouse. He couldn’t help but place his hand behind her posterior, making her gasp softly. “Among other things.” said Silverbolt “Different style, same body.”

She couldn’t help but smirk and said “You haven’t changed a bit since I last saw you. Same with the others.”

“Yeah, sorry I didn’t visit when I decided to tour around America.” said Silverbolt as he rubbed the back of his head.

“But at least you bothered to call and write.” said Harshwinny “That at least counts for something. And I assume you being here has something to do with Equestrian Magic leaking through.”

“In a matter of speaking.” said Silverbolt “But I’m moving back to Canterlot today.”

“Really?” said Harshwinny after she let him go and leaned against her desk whilst crossing her arms with a smile “And I assume you’ve decided to continue to broadening your education?”

“Well, it has been twenty years,” said Silverbolt “Might as well try to catch up with the times.”

“Glad to hear it.” said Harshwinny “It hasn’t been the same without you here though. You always knew how to have fun. Remember the party of 1990?”

Silverbolt couldn’t help but chuckle as he said “How could I forget? It’s one of the most memorable parties I’ve ever taken.”

“Still,” said Harshwinny “The people that went to school with us really missed you.”

“I missed you guys too.” said Silverbolt, but then frowned and said “I still can’t believe that Cinch found a way to weasel herself through this.”

Harshwinny frowned at that too whilst rolling her eyes “Makes me wonder why she even bothered to teach in the first place.”

“True that.” said Silverbolt. But then he looked at her and said “So…last I heard you got married. How’s that going?”

“Doing well so far.” said Harshwinny smiling “He’s currently out of town with the rest of the School Board and the kids are at the camping trip with their grandparents.”

“Wait,” said Silverbolt as he quickly pieced things together “You mean to tell me that you and Intellect Wisdom finally tied the knot?”

“Indeed, we have.” she responded.

“Wow.” said Silverbolt “You really know how to attract the best.”

“True.” said Harshwinny, but then she suddenly squirmed, which Silverbolt noticed.

He realized what it meant, which made him groan and slap his forehead, for he figured that she would act this way. She may have been like this as a teenager, but as an adult, twice as scary. He instantly teleported the two of them back to her house, which was thankfully unoccupied, which took by Harshwinny by surprise.

“When was the last time you had a good time?” said Silverbolt.

Harshwinny instantly realized what he was inquiring, which made her blush bright red as she said “Now see here. I don’t need to remind you that I’m married and…”

Within a split second, Silverbolt kissed her lips hard, taking her by shock as she slowly began to drown herself to it, making her hold Silverbolt close. And right at the split second, Silverbolt ripped her shirt off, but instead playfully allowed him to removed it, even holding her breasts as she gasped at that.

They then departed lips as he said playfully “My Ms. Harshwinny, I didn’t know you were braless.”

“Not a word of this to the students.” sneered Harshwinny.

Within a split second, she grabbed him and ended up pinning him hard onto the bed, making the two of them moan through their kisses whilst Silverbolt grasped onto her ass, making her nearly bit her lip as she loved the feeling.

“And still the same ass.” retorted Silverbolt.

She ended up pinning him hard onto the ground, still having the same horny side in her.

“You’re still trouble, you know that?” said Harshwinny with her glare.

“You were too once.” said Silverbolt with a smirk, until he broke free and grabbed her face, then said “Let’s make some trouble again.”

The two then smacked lips and once more collapsed onto the bed again, with lewd noises that followed.

*********************************************************************************************************

Later, walking down from the hallway, the Rainbooms were walking down the hall, hoping that they would find a way to meet up with Silverbolt somewhere. Rainbow on the other hand, hummed and skipped with a smile, acting without a care in the world. The rest noticed this, which was unnatural, even for her. She even jumped up and down as if she was in Broadway.

“I must say Rainbow,” said Rarity as she saw the upbeat moment of her friend “I have never seen you this lively before.”

“Yeah,” said Applejack “Ya’ll are acting more excited than Apple Bloom during Cider Season.”

Rainbow stopped and said “Sorry about that. It’s just…Silverbolt gave me something I’d never forget.”

The others wondered by what it was, but was a little surprised that Silverbolt gave her something.

“Like what?” asked Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow looked at Fluttershy and said “Remember the only person who was allowed to call me Skittles?”

“Um, yes?” said Fluttershy. But then she noticed the smile and happy tear, which shocked Fluttershy and smiled too “You mean…?”

Rainbow nodded, which Fluttershy hugged her friend “Oh, Rainbow that’s wonderful.”

“Okay, I’m confused.” said Twilight.

“Oh, sorry.” said Rainbow as she wiped her tear away. “Back then, I had an Uncle who once called me that nickname. I…once thought that he died a while back when I was little.”

The others sans Fluttershy were surprised by this, with Rainbow saying “But it turned out he was alive this whole time.”

Now, all of them were shocked to hear that, with Rainbow saying “Turns out that Silverbolt raised him when he was little. And one day whilst he was traveling, he got a call from a village that told him they found someone who had a picture of him. Turns out my uncle survived and he took him to the hospital, but he was under a different alias and was in a coma for eight years.”

“Oh, my Darling,” said Rarity “I had no idea.”

“And…how’s he now?” asked Applejack.

“He woke up this morning.” said Rainbow, which surprised them as she said “We’re planning to spend some time together on Sunday. We always have a barbeque on Sundays. That’s why I can’t wait.”

“Darling, that’s wonderful.” said Rarity as she hugged her friend.

“I know.” said Rainbow in her excited tone. She then blushed whilst pulling back, rubbed the back of her head and said “An uh…I also have a boyfriend.”

They were surprised to hear that, with Pinkie saying “Oooh, that wouldn’t happen to be Fast Track now, would it?”

Rainbow was surprised to hear that, with her saying “Uh, yeah, how did…?”

“I saw you going to his house a while back.” said Pinkie Pie “That and I heard loud moans coming from there.”

Rainbow blushed bright red, which shocked her friends, for they all knew what that meant.

“Oh my.” said Rarity with a blush “You’ve really grown into a remarkable woman Rainbow.”

“Heh, I guess I am.” said Rainbow “But I’ll always be me.”

“And we wouldn’t have it any other way.” said Pinkie as she hugged Rainbow.

“Oh look,” said Fluttershy as she pointed down the hall “There’s Silverbolt right now.”

They saw that he was talking to Ms. Harshwinny. But to their shock, Ms. Harshwinny was smiling and had a gentle expression.

“Oh my,” said Fluttershy “Is she…smiling?”

“Unbelievable.” said Applejack “Ah’ve been to her classes since Freshman Year. She’s never showed that kind of expression.”

They walked close to hear what was going on, till they were finally an earshot away from them.

“It’s good to have you here Silverbolt.” said Ms. Harshwinny “I have a feeling that things will be livelier with you around.”

“Uh, what about the Rainbooms?” he said.

“Okay, Twice as lively.” said Harshwinny.

The two couldn’t help but chuckle over that statement. Silverbolt said with a smile “It’s good to see you again Winnie.”

The girls gawked at the nickname he gave her. But not as shocked as the playful spank Harshwinny gave his butt, whilst she said “See you later Silvy.”

She soon walked away, whilst he couldn’t help but role his eyes and said “That girl really hasn’t changed one bit.”

“Uh, Silverbolt?” said a voice. He nearly froze, but looked and saw the Rainbooms, whilst bearing shocked expressions on their faces, and Twilight saying “What was that about?”

“Yeah, I’ve never seen Ms. Harshwinny smile like that before.” said Pinkie Pie.

“I think you mean Mrs.” said Silverbolt as he corrected them “I mean she did get married to Intellect Wisdom and had kids with him a while back.”

They were surprised to hear this, with Sunset saying “Wait, Intellect Wisdom? As in head of the School Board?”

“That’s the one.” said Silverbolt.

“And ya’ll know her?” asked Applejack.

“Yeah, see, we uh…” said Silverbolt as he rubbed the back of his head and was a bit embarrassed, but he looked at them and said “Used to date when she was still in high school.”

The girls were surprised to hear this, with Rainbow saying “Wait, you two?”

“That’s right.” said Silverbolt “But we realized we weren’t meant for each other because of her career and my problem. So, we left and remained friends. We still keep in contact every now and then.”

“Problem?” said Rarity, which shocked her as she said “Wait, she knows who you are and what you are?”

“That’s right.” said Silverbolt “Only a select few people know who I am. Celestia, Luna, Harshwinny, Cranky Doodle, Cheerilee, twenty other people and now all of you.”

“Wait,” said Pinkie Pie “Did you also happen to date Celestia, Luna and Cheerilee?”

“I did.” said Silverbolt, but then he groaned and said “But there was one girl I tried to stay away from.”

“Who?” asked the Rainbooms.

“Annie Smith.”

Applejack was surprised to hear this as she said “Wait, ya’ll dated mah granny?!!”

“Dating is a strong word,” said Silverbolt “That girl’s been obsessed with me ever since she was little. I keep telling her to back off and I wasn’t interested but she wouldn’t listen. But then she said the one line that I had enough of and had to put a restraining order on.”

“What was that?” asked a curious Fluttershy.

“She said, quote, I want to birth your babies, end quote.”

All of them were shocked whilst Applejack gawked at that, with Silverbolt saying “She even wanted me to take her virginity whilst I was sleeping. Meaning I was this close, this close, into becoming your Grand pappy!!”

Now all of them didn’t know how to respond to that as they gawked. Applejack on the other hand, was so disturbed by that, she walked at least two steps away whilst Pinkie Pie screamed for her as the said farm girl was too freaked out to speak, with him saying “Yeah, now you know how I felt when I first met you.”

However, not wanting to disturb anyone with that image again, he changed the subject.

“I even tried to date Cadance,” said Silverbolt, which shocked Twilight, whilst Silverbolt said “But she had eyes for Shining Armour since they were kids. So, by the time prom came up, I encouraged both of them to go together, and they’ve been a great couple ever since. I even paid for their wedding and also made sure their baby had enough funds to be looked after, as well as her education.”

“Wow,” said Twilight as she was shocked to hear that “You were the one who brought them together. I was wondering who Shiny was talking about when he told me that he was thankful for a friend who brought him and Cadance together.”

“They’re my best friends too.” said Silverbolt “We still keep in contact with one another. Plus, last I heard, Shining is about to finish his Captain’s exam and will be made a Captain tomorrow.”

“Wow,” said Pinkie “You’re so nice to them.”

“I was also the one who helped get Cadance to a hospital when she went into labor.” said Silverbolt.

“Wait, you were there?” said a surprised Twilight.

“That’s right.” Said Silverbolt. “I was her doctor.”

“But I didn’t see you there.” Responded Twilight.

“Probably because I was in uniform, mask and everything.” Said Silverbolt, “So it would be understandable that you couldn’t have seen my face back then.”

Twilight nodded in understanding, agreeing with Silverbolt. He then changed the subject and asked “So, which class are we next?”

“Well, we got a free period before lunch.” said Pinkie when she pulled the schedule out of her hair, read through it and put it back “We were about to head to the music room during that time.”

“Yeah,” said Rainbow “Maybe you can show us some of your songs.”

“Oh, sure thing.” said Silverbolt, but then he gestured like a gentleman as he said “Ladies.”

The girls giggled, smirked whilst rolling their eyes and walked down the hall, with him following behind as they made their way towards the music room.

**********************************************************************************************************

Later that day, it was now lunchtime, and the students were now coming together. Silverbolt had a feeling that someone would come and compliment him on his performance yesterday. Just as he was about to sit down, the guy he met earlier showed up.

“Hey there, Bolt.” said Fast Track, putting his arm around him “Awesome performance yesterday man. I wanted to talk, but you kinda disappeared after that.”

“Yeah, sorry about that.” said Silverbolt as he rubbed the back of his head “I got a bit hot and overheated during the performance and I needed to cool off a bit.”

“No problem,” said Fast Track “Hey, you wanna come sit with us, I want to introduce you to some friends of mine.”

Silverbolt thought about it, he seemed like a cool dude, but he wanted to sit with Sunset. But as he looked at her, she nodded and gestured that he should make some friends since he’s here.

He turned to him and said “Sure, why not.”

“Great.” said Fast Track as he and Silverbolt walked together.

“You know,” said Silverbolt “With your name, I’m guessing that you’re really fast with a guitar, right.”

“That I am.” said Fast Track as he bumped his chest with his fist a few times.

Soon they made it over to the table where the rest of his friends were. He recognized Velvet Heart at Ms. Harshwinny’s class earlier. As for the rest of the students, he looked them up at their Yearbook when he first got here, so now he knows which is which.

Fast Track introduced him to the others near the table “This here’s Flash Sentry.”

“Hey there.” said Flash as he waved to Silverbolt, with the said person waving back to them.

“That right there is Crimson Napalm and his girlfriend Mystery Mint.”

They both waved to him as he waved back at them.

“That there is Brawly Beats.”

“S’up man.” said Brawly whilst eating a hotdog.

“That there is Ringo.”

Ringo merely waved to them whilst he continued with his food.

“And that’s my girlfriend, Water Melody.”

“Hi there.” said Melody.

“And over there is Vinyl Scratch.” said Fast Track to the girl who was bopping her head to the beat.

“Otherwise known as DJ-PON3,” said Silverbolt as he gave a handshake move to Vinyl, which she returned, causing them both to fist bump in the end “Nice to meet all of you.”

“So, Bolt,” said Ringo “How the heck did you play so well?”

“Well, I played a lot of music since I was little,” said Silverbolt “Plus I wrote a few songs here and there, and sometimes I like to sing songs from certain performers years ago. Even got a knack for it too.”

“I’ll say,” said Thunder Bass “You played awesome yesterday.”

“Yeah,” said Crimson Napalm “It was really cool that you dedicated to Lemmy Kilmister.”

“Motorhead always did have the best songs.” said Silverbolt.

“Were you ever in a band?” asked Cherry.

He thought about it, but during those days he never did play in a band before. But through vague memories he did play in a band, but he just couldn’t remember.

“Not really,” said Silverbolt “I’ve never been in a band before to be honest. But I’d be nice to try it out, you know.”

“Awesome!!” said Fast Track as he held Silverbolt close “You should totally play with us.”

“I’ll think about it.” said Silverbolt “But I gotta settle down first. Moved her about yesterday and I need to get things in order before I get a chance to have fun with you guys.”

“It’s cool, we can wait.” said Fast Track “Just don’t take too long.”

Silverbolt sat down with them and had a nice conversation with them. Whilst they talk, Silverbolt hummed a specific song, which gained Mystery Mint’s attention.

“School days, school days” muttered Silverbolt.

Mystery Mint gasped and said “I love that song!”

“Really?” said Silverbolt “You know Joan Jett?”

“She’s, my idol.” said Mystery Mint as she held her hands together.

“You know you remind me of her too,” said Silverbolt, gaining her attention as he said “The look, the clothes, the voice, heck, for all I know you could be her perfect lookalike.”

Mystery couldn’t help but make a muffled squeal as she was really excited and happy at the same time.

Silverbolt quirked an eyebrow with a smirk and said “So you know the singer, but do you know the song?”

“Heck yeah, I do!!” exclaimed Mystery Mint with excitement.

“Yo Flash,” said Silverbolt “Mind if I borrow your Gibson for a moment?”

“No need,” said Fast Track as he held a guitar to him “I always carry a guitar or two if I want to rock with a buddy.”

“Sweet.” said Silverbolt as he accepted it, with Fast Track holding out one of his own.

They plugged their guitars in what appeared to be a mini battery powered amp and started to play.

Everybody watched as they saw Silverbolt and Fast Track play whilst Mystery Mint singing the song. Sunset and the others watched as they saw Silverbolt having fun.

“He’s really good.” said Rainbow.

“Rainbow?” said Fluttershy “Isn’t that the boy you’re seeing?”

The rest of the Rainbooms saw Fast Track playing with Silverbolt.

“Oh, I remember him.” said Rarity “Wasn’t he the boy who always tried to keep up with you no matter what?”

“Yep.” said Rainbow “Truth be told I saw how he tried to keep up with me. I felt flattered that he was trying to do this for me. Been like that since we first met and we kept on going ever since.”

“Aw, that’s so sweet.” said Pinkie Pie “But not as sweet as this.”

She pulled out her own cupcakes and devoured them, whilst they saw them performing.

“You know,” said Sunset as she looked at them “We should do another Showcase.”

“Uh, Sunset?” said Applejack “Didn’t ya’ll remember what happened last time we tried?”

“That was because of the Dazzlings,” said Sunset “We didn’t know that they would be involved and we haven’t seen them since the music festival a few months back.”

“So, what about another music festival, somewhere in Canterlot City?” said Pinkie Pie.

“But it would cost a lot.” said Rarity “We’re going to have to organize one massive fundraiser for this.”

“I’m sure we’ll think of something.” said Sunset, whilst she dreamingly stared at Silverbolt.

Rainbow noticed this and laughed “Oh my gosh, Sunset, you got a crush on him!!”

The girls could tell the blush on her face and were also surprised by this.

“And uh, well…” said Sunset as she blushed and was a bit embarrassed to admit it “I kind of kissed him earlier.”

The girls were surprised once more “Oh my gosh, really?” said Rarity as she was surprised.

Sunset nodded whilst feeling embarrassed and said “I went to talk to him this morning, cause I felt like we were connecting. And I didn’t care if he was immortal or not. I’d still love him no matter what. We ended up kissing afterwards…”

“Aw.” said Twilight as she was touched by her friend’s move.

“And we also ponied up as a result.”

They were a bit surprised by this, with Applejack saying “Ya’ll ponied up whilst kissing?”

“I can’t explain it,” said Sunset “But when I did, I also felt his magic. It’s so powerful. He really is more powerful than Princess Celestia.”

Some were surprised by that, but Fluttershy smiled whilst changing the subject and said “Well I’m glad you did what you did Sunset.”

“Really?” said Sunset as she looked at Fluttershy.

“Of course,” said Fluttershy “We know you went through a lot after you broke up with Flash and that you didn’t want to break another boy’s heart after you got reformed. You deserve some happiness in life. And I think Silverbolt may be a good match for you.”

Sunset blushed a bit whilst looking down, then she looked at Silverbolt as he continued to rock with the table. She ended up smiling and said “Yes, he is.”

As the group stopped, they all took a breather and got some great laughs.

“Wow,” said Silverbolt “You’ve so got the voice Mint. I’m surprised you’re not in a band yourself.”

Mystery Mint blushed and said “I was out of town with my friends that day.”

“Surgery at her left knee?” said Silverbolt.

They were shocked at that deduction, with Cherry Crash saying “How’d you know that?”

“She has a scar on her left knee,” said Silverbolt “Which indicated that she had an accident a while back, so she had surgery on it. But from the look of it, you were trying to take it easy. And given the state it’s in, you’ll be able to do gymnastics again in no time.”

Mystery was flabbergasted by what he said, with Silverbolt saying “I also went to med school. Learned a lot of medical practices, even learn about the body’s nature.”

“Wow, I…” said Mystery “My doctor said that I’d never do sport again…but from what you said…”

“Trust me.” said Silverbolt.

“Wow, he’s good.” whispered Brawly Beats to Ringo, which he nodded in agreement.

Silverbolt noticed Button Mash walking in. But then he noticed he was blushing and noticed that Sweetie Belle walked in, which made him realize that he has a crush on her. He smirked and had an idea. He looked over and tapped Vinyl’s hand, gaining her attention.

“May I?” he asked whilst pointing at her music scratch board. She nodded and handed it over.

“Yo, kid.” said Silverbolt, gaining Button Mash’s attention. He signaled him to come over, which he did.

“Yeah?” asked Button.

“What’s your name?” asked Silverbolt.

“Button Mash.” said Button.

“You like music?”

“If it’s from a video game, then yeah.”

He then wrote something down and said “How about this song?”

He showed it to Button, which widened his eyes in surprise and said “How did you know about that? I haven’t sung that song since before I came to CHS?”

“I have my ways.” said Silverbolt “So, can you?”

“Uh, sure.” said Button “Not sure if I still have it, but I’ll give it a try.”

The others wondered what he was up to, with him adding the song to Vinyl’s music. He then began to play it, gaining many of the students” attention. “Fire away.”

Button closed his eyes and cleared his throat.

Button began to sing and dance around whilst he was moving around. Everyone at the Cafeteria was surprised the way he was moving and the way he was dancing whilst he was singing. Sweetie Belle noticed and was surprised to see him singing.

However, he suddenly grabbed Sweetie Belle my mistake and ended up dancing with her, but he didn’t notice because his eyes were closed. Sweetie on the other hand was greatly surprised as she was moving like him as they were dancing together. The song soon ended and Button ended up leaning her whilst he was in the last note.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, his eyes widened in shock whilst he blushed. Sweetie Belle also blushed with wide eyes.

“Oh, uh Sweetie Belle!!” exclaimed Button as he helped her stand up whilst Button stammered and tried to clear his throat, with Sweetie Belle looking away in embarrassment “I uh, I didn’t know I was dancing with you!! I was so caught in the moment, I…Oh man…”

Button was greatly embarrassed about what he did, but Sweetie Belle on the other hand merely curled her hair with her finger and said “I…didn’t know you could sing that well.”

“Oh, uh…” said Button as he rubbed the back of his head “Yeah, I always have a knack for singing. I just…don’t do it that often.”

“And the dancing?” asked Sweetie Belle.

“Learned that from my mom,” said Button Mash “She was a dance instructor before she married my dad.”

She kept rubbing her left arm for a bit, then looked at him and said “So…after school…do you wanna go for a milkshake?”

Button was surprised as he looked at her, but then said “Uh, yeah…sure.”

The two of them walked towards the door, but at the same time, the two of them slowly held hands before they exited the cafeteria. The Rainbooms, especially Rarity, was surprised by this outcome, even Flash and the others were surprised as they looked at him.

“How did you do that?” said Water Melody.

“I have a knack for these things.” said Silverbolt “Whilst others kept on spoon feeding love and everything, I take the more direct approach when I help those find romance.”

He looked at Velvet Heart for instance. He noticed the way he kept looking at her from time to time. And when Silverbolt went to his next class, he could hear Fluttershy singing, and she had an amazing voice, even Velvet, now he just needed something to make the move.

“Say Velvet Heart,” said Silverbolt, gaining his attention and said “What do you think about Fluttershy?”

Velvet was surprised by the question as he blushed a deep shade of red. He looked down a bit, the others noticed it too.

“No way,” said Thunder Bass “You really like her, don’t you?”

“Well,” said Velvet “Yes.”

Silverbolt placed his shoulder on Velvet, gaining his attention. Velvet Heart sighed and said “I liked her since I was little. The way she cares for others, especially her kindness. Even when she’s shy, she’s brave in her own way. I…even heard her sing once.”

They were surprised to hear that, with Velvet saying “I want to sing for her too. But…I don’t know if she would want to sing with me. And…I’m not good at crowds either.”

Silverbolt then said “And why should that stop you?”

Velvet looked at Silverbolt as he continued to explain.

“If you really wish for her to hear your voice, then let it out. Let her know how you feel, let her know that you care about her. Sing your heart to her, and I’m sure that she’ll respond.”

“But…how?” said Velvet Heart.

“Get over there and I’ll play a song for you two.” said Silverbolt “If you love her, then sing for her.”

Velvet thought about it, then looked at Fluttershy as she was chatting with her friends. He took a deep breath, stood up and walked over to her, with Silverbolt pulling out a memory stick and put it inside Vinyl’s music player. He then picked a song that Velvet might know. But Silverbolt made sure the volume was high enough in order for everyone to hear. He then pressed play.

The music began to play, gaining everyone’s attention as they looked at Velvet. Even the Rainbooms looked at him, with them wondering what he’s up to. But Fluttershy noticed that Velvet Heart was staring at her, making her blush as she was a bit shy to look at him.

Then, right on cue, he sang out to her, gaining her attention as she looked at him. He kept making sure that she could hear him. His singing was perfect and he kept up well.

Fluttershy then suddenly looked down, and felt her heart skipping. He was singing out to her, which made her blush. Fluttershy met him a few times and she heard him sing, but was also shy of singing out loud. But he was brave enough to sing…for her. She then felt something deep inside her and slowly stood up. And out of the blue, she sang to.

She looked at a surprised Velvet Heart whilst she continued, with the Rainboom’s jaws dropped as they couldn’t believe how beautiful her voice sounded. She walked over to Velvet, stood near him and continued to sing.

Sure enough, the two of them began to harmonize and then sang together whilst they were holding hands. Soon their voices were one and they kept staring at one another. When the song ended, the two of them kept staring at one another whilst blushing. They suddenly realized everyone heard them sing, making them look back in shock. Everyone was flabbergasted, but then they began to cheer for them. The two were embarrassed, but noticed they were holding hands. They looked at one another, blushed and ended up hugging one another with smiles on their faces, causing them to walk out to have some private time with one another.

Once again, he pulled of an amazing feat, with Vinyl getting up and said “Dude, you’re totally a master of music.”

“Vinyl?”

They looked to where the voice was coming from, and it was from none other than Octavia, a friend of Vinyl Scratch.

“Hey, Tavi. You have got to meet someone cool.” said Vinyl.

“Tavi?” muttered Silverbolt.

“Octavia Melody happens to be a cellist,” said Fast Track “Her dreams are to be part of an orchestra, so she knows every single classical music you can think of.”

Vinyl at the same time brought Octavia over and said “Bolt, dude, this here’s my bestie, Octavia Melody. Octi, this here’s Bolt.”

“Yes, I’ve seen him perform.” said Octavia “Never had the pleasure.”

“Same.” said Silverbolt as he stood up “So, you’re into classical music?”

“I am.,” said Octavia.

“Played Mozart? Haydn? Beethoven?” asked Silverbolt.

“You heard of them?” said Octavia.

“I can be a fan of any music.” said Silverbolt “One of my favorites is Beethoven’s symphony number 3. The Funeral March, Second Movement.”

Octavia was surprised that he knows of the best classical music.

“I didn’t think there would be anyone who knew that.” said Octavia with a surprised voice.

“I even know…” said Silverbolt before he leaned over and whispered “O Sole Mio by Luciano Pavarotti.”

Octavia widened her eyes in shock as she slowly looked at Silverbolt whilst he kept his smile. He walked over to Vinyl’s music player and began to play Pavarotti’s song.

The music began to play whilst he closed his eyes, focused on the song. He waited for the right moment, and just like that, he began to sing, but in a very different language. Octavia was greatly surprised as she had witnessed someone with such a great voice singing one of her most favorite songs.

But the moment he hit the high note, everyone in the cafeteria stared in awe when they heard him sing in a different language, even some of the students recorded it when they saw him sing his heart out just like that. His voice perfectly synced with the music as he performed in notes that he never thought possible.

When the song ended, everyone was dead silent as they couldn’t believe how his voice sounded. Before they realized, all of them were clapping and cheering for Silverbolt as many stood up and clapped their hands, even the Rainbooms were greatly surprised by this as they also clapped their hands.

“Such magnificence.” muttered Octavia as she couldn’t believe her ears.

Sunset admired Silverbolt more, for his voice really sounded amazing, especially singing a foreign song. One thing’s for sure, her heart grew to reach out to him even more.
