The Friendship Games: New Student

"Anyone has any idea what the games are going to be?" Rainbow asked. There was a few moments of silence until Fluttershy broke it.

"We don't even know what we're doing." She said gently scratching her arm. "I mean almost everyone doesn't know."

"Jordan seems to know." He says we might be doing motocross and a tri cross relay." AJ said.

"Oh and an archery and spelling bee!" Pinkie chimed in. "Ooooh, I wonder what words are going to be put in."

"Well if what Jordan said is true then at least we know right?" Rarity said with hope. "I mean I just can't help but wonder about that new kid. Not that he's dangerous or anything."

"Not at all. He's pretty cool!" Rainbow agreed. "Although you are right. There is something about him that he's hiding and we're going to get to the bottom of it!"

All the girls made agreeable comments before Sunset spoke up. "That sounds like a plan, but right now I gotta focus on why Rainbow ponied up. That's our biggest concern right now. The thing with Jordan can wait. I gotta go, I'll see you, girls, later!" She waved as she left backstage.

"Now I still don't get how Jordan knows everything about the friendship games even when he's new here," AJ mentioned. "It's like he has something that we don't."

"Maybe he is a psychic!" Pinkie guessed. "And the reason why he's saying he's not is that he's just self-conscious about his magic powers and doesn't want us to think he's not normal!"

"That is a possibility, darling but we shouldn't jump to conclusions so fast. We can't assume everything to be magic. It could be something else," Rarity implied.

"You're right. Right now we should get ready for tomorrow. I'll see yall at the end of lunch." AJ replied. The rest of her friends went their separate way to continue for the rest of the day.

Crystal Prep Academy
A teenage girl walked through the hallways carrying her books. She was purple-skinned and had dark purple hair with a magenta streak. She donned a patterned purple skirt, a vest, a white collard shirt underneath, a tie, long blue socks, and royal blue shoes with diamonds on the buckle. The hallways were rarely empty, considering she had bumped into multiple people along her way.

"Hey! Watch it!

"I'm walking here!"

"Sorry...sorry" She quickly said as she picked up the pace. Still holding her books close to her chest, she arrived at her dorm room and went inside. Inside was a bunch of science equipment complete with test tubes, posters, a work desk, and a trashcan full of papers. On the wall of the work desk, are pictures of Canterlot High that all seemed to be connecting to the Wondercolt's statue in the front. Also in the room is a purple and green puppy with a purple spiked collared around his neck. He excitedly wagged his tail and ran over to his owner in excitement.

"Arf!" He barked. The girl giggled as she sat down at her work desk and he jumped on her lap.

"Did you miss me, Spike?" She asked playfully as she petted the top of his head. He barked playfully as he spun around. "Calm down, Spike! You're acting like you haven't seen me all week!" She laughed as Spike hopped off her lap and continued to wag his tail. "Guess what, Spike? I was able to get a reading off of Canterlot High!" She squealed holding a circular magic device in her hands. Spike growled in response upon hearing Canterlot High which the girl sighed. "I know I know I don't like it there either but I just couldn't help it!" Spike looked at her with a confused tilt of his head. A knocking sound came from the door and a young woman opened it. She had long purple, dark purple, and yellow-streaked hair with a light pink skin tone. She wore an aqua blue skirt with a formal blue blazer and a crystal heart emblem on the front and golden heels. It was the Dean of Crystal Prep: Dean Cadence.

"Twilight, you know the rules against having pets on school grounds," she said giving her a stern look. Twilight laughed nervously and held up Spike.

"But Spike isn't a pet, Dean Cadence. He's the main focus of my research: Human Canine cohabitation." She said patting Spike on the head.

"If you say so, but I suggest you get changed. Principal Cinch is highly allergic and she's waiting for you in her office." Cadence said picking a piece of Spike's fur off of Twilight's shirt.

"Oooh is it about my application into the Everton Independent study program?!" Twilight asked enthusiastically. Cadence let out a sigh and tried to put on a small smile.

"That's what I was meaning to talk to you about...Are you sure you want to take those classes? There's hardly anyone in the same class as you're taking," She gave a slight frown. "It's like you'll be doing everything by yourself."

"Well I mean it's not called an Independent Study Program for nothing, right?" Twilight chuckled. "But this is exactly what I want! To be able to focus on my career and future!"

"If that's what you want, I can't stop you," Cadence said. "I just don't want you to miss out on anything, and being around other people can teach you a few life lessons along the way." She turned to leave but not before asking, "See you in Principal Cinch's office?"

"I'll be there," Twilight said. Cadence closed the door leaving Twilight and Spike by herself. Twilight knelt down as Spike hopped on her lap. "I don't know why she's worried, Spike. It's not like I'm going to need any friends," her dog hopped off her lap as Twilight started to make her way towards the Principal's office. "I'll be back Spike." She closed the door behind her.

Canterlot High

And sign-up sheets are available at the gymnasium later today! Remember, the more students who participate, the better chance we have at becoming victorious! Came Principal Celestia's voice over the P.A. Sunset and her friends were playing their instruments in the band room: their hairs extended into pony like manes, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had wings. When they were done playing, they returned to their normal forms.

"That was awesome! Let's hope the Friendship Games have a music competition because we would totally kick Crystal Prep's butt!"

*knock knock*

"Come in," Rarity called out. Jordan peeked his head in.

"Hey. I just got back and I couldn't help but notice how well you sounded," he complimented.

"Why that's really nice of you to say, darling." Rarity said as she giggled. She noticed that Jordan had a wireless earpiece in his right ear whereas before he didn't. The other girls seemed to notice too but assumed it was nothing.

"So mind if I ask what yall doing in the games? I'm thinking about archery." Jordan asked.

"Hmmm maybe I'll take up on the bird house building." AppleJack pondered. "I mean I do build alot of things!"
Jordan looked confused. which the farm girl laughed. "I was raised in a barn my entire life. Where I come from, I learned to build alot of things with my bare hands."

"So country girl, huh?" Jordan inquired. "That's acutally pretty cool. You know I have a friend in Manehattan who also grew up on a farm. Oh and I'm probbaly thinking about doing the spelling bee and archery."

"Me and Fluttershy are thinking about doing the baking contest!" Pinkie said with joy. Jordan couldn't help but notice how bubbly Pinkie was being.

"Well I hate to cut this short but I got some important tasks to take care of. If I don't see you later today, I'll definitley be seeing you all tomorrow."

The girls all waved bye as Jordan left.
