The Friendship Games: New Student

The Friendship Games has finally arrived! Although not many were too excited about it but for understandable reasons. Every event they were always losing to the one school they could not stand. Low and behold Crystal Prep Academy. The school with a spotless repuation. The school where every student's ego and even the Principal's is higher than the peak of Mount Everest. No one from Canterlot High enjoyed Crystal Prep's bragging or how they think they're better than everyone else. Inluding those people were a group of 6 girls. Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and AppleJack. All were hanging in the Canterlot Library.

"And then they have the nerve to try and deface our statue!" AppleJack said in annoyance. "They really think just because they win us every FriendShip Games, they feel entitled to rub salt in our wounds!"

"Calm down, darling. But I do agree what they're doing is absolute rubbish!" Rarity said. "Although I do understand why there ego is so ridiculously high."

"They are really good..." Fluttershy said quietly. "But are you sure he or she was trying to deface our statue?" She looked at Sunset who was the one who seen the mysterious person snooping around the statue earlier today.

"I don't think that person was trying to deface it or anything," Sunset said scratching the back of her head. "But she was trying to do something." AppleJack sighed.

"Well whatever it is, I think it's not anything good. With the Friendship Games coming and whatnot. Why I even bet whoever it is go to Crystal Prep!"

All the other girls nodded in agreement. "You girls seem like you're making a big deal out of something silly," Sunset commented.

"Silly?!" her friends gasped.

"So I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly too huh?" Rainbow asked with a bit annoyance.

"I mean it's not like we're going to be facing against evil magic," Sunset countered. Fluttershy walked up to her.

"They may not be evil creatures from another world, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be cautious."

Sunset chuckled and looked a bit guilty. "You're right. I'm sorry I just didn't think it was that important." AppleJack smiled at her friend.

"Don't worry bout it, sugarcube. We know this is you're first FriendShip Games event."

"Now isn't the Friendship Games supposed to be about getting along?"

Rainbow rolled her eyes and took out a scrapbook. "It's kind of hard to get along with someone who beats you everyday" she muttered as she flipped through the pages. "Tennis, track, baseball, swimming."

"I can't remember the last time we won," Pinkie said with a little sadness. "And that's because we never won."

"Not this time!" Rainbow said confidently. All her friends looked at her.

"Whatever do you mean, darling?" Rarity asked intrigued. "We've never won before, what makes you think we're going to win this time?"

Rainbow had a smug on her face. "Oh you'll see."

"Mhm"

Sunset turned around to see a woman with dark blue hair and a suit coming torwards her. It was the school's Vice Principal coming towards her. "Oh Vice Principal Luna, you need something?" she asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact. There's a new student on campus and I was wondering if you'd be glad to give him a tour around here. He already met me and Principal Celestia."

"A new student?! Is he normal?!" Pinkie gasped.

"Is he even a human?" AppleJack chimed in.

"Is he evil?!" Rarity gasped in shock.

Vice Principal Luna just rolled her eyes and sighed. "Girls, Principal Celestia and I can assure you there is nothing wrong with him."

"Well if you say so, Vice Principal," AppleJack said. "The last thing we need is yet ANOTHER power hungry villain."

Sunset gave a kind smile. "Of course I can show him around. Do you know where he is?"

Luna pointed torwads the Librarie's exit. "He's in my office. I told him to wait for you."

Sunset turned torwards her friends. "I'll be right back. I gotta give a tour first."

"Alright, sugarcube. Take your time, and tell him we would like to meet him!" AppleJack said as she smiled.

Sunset made her way torwards the office and went inside. A teenaged boy was waiting for her. He had black hair and wore a gray jacket, light brown shorts and tennis shoes. He smiled at her as she entered the room. "Oh hi! You must be Sunset Shimmer." He said as she smiled at him.

"That's me." She chuckled. "And you are the new student?" The boy beamed.

"You got that right. Names Jordan Cobalt by the way,"

Sunset breathed in and continued. "So you ready for me to give you a tour?"

"Absolutley," Jordan answered. He and Sunset walked out. While she was giving a tour, Sunset thought she could ask him something.

"So why don't you tell me a little about yourself, Jordan?"

"Sure. I actually just moved here a few days ago. My mom got a new job at the Canterlot Bank and my family and I moved in. We came from Philydelphia by the way."

"Cool. Anything you like to do for fun?" Sunset asked.

"I like first person shooter video games, music, and pretty much anything fun...I don't really have a set favorite thing to do honestly." Jordan chuckled. "Also at my old school, I was pretty well known. Not like most popular or anythign like that but I did made quite a few friends." He gave a sad smile. "Sad I had to leave but at least I still keep in contact with them via Discord."

"Well I'm sure you'll make alot of friends here. In fact after the tour, I'd like you to meet some very good friends of mine. They're really nice." Sunset assured. She continued to show him around the school showing him the computer labs, all the hallways, the gym, and science labs. They made thier way over to the Cafeteria which was by far the largest room in the school. "And this right here is the Cafeteria. It's hard to miss."

"Thanks for the tour, Sunset. "And also I'm very excited for the Friendship Games. This will be my first one I ever get to compete in."

Sunset gave a little gasp in surprise. "You know about it? Well I guess Vice Principal Luna already did tell you about it."

"She did," Jordan confirmed.

"Well I don't want to get your hopes high or anything but there's another school who always beats us in everything."

"Oh yeah, Crystal Prep. I know all about them already."

Sunset looked surprised. Surely Vice Principal Luna or Principal Celestia hadn't told him that. "You know about them already?"

"Lucky guess," he smiled and shrugged. Sunset chuckled and decided to introduce him to her friends.

"Alright now I want you to come with me. I'd like you to meet my friends."
