Chapter 2: Whereas Learning, Development!*edited*

Chapter Two:Whereas Learning, Development!

              "Nothing like trotting through Ponyville while listening to some great tunes." Said C.D. as he traveled towards his school. He recalled all that happened the week before. 'Something about homework maybe?' Of course he could not remember any assignment that was given even if he tried. (Even though he didn't receive one).

It was a pretty peaceful day. The sun was out and was being highlighted by the clouds in the sky. He hoped it would rain. The rain was always so calming at times and it always seemed so peaceful here in Ponyville. These thoughts were only to be cast away as C.D. removed his headphones and approached the school he attended. *sigh*

       The numerous sounds of laughter, distant screams of fillies, and arguments between colts about 'who was better? DJ Pon3 or Lil Mane?' could be heard throughout the yard. The sight was of the children playing games and standing around chatting. Though a happier sight, C.D. ignored that, because in the end..."It's a school."

       "Well of course it is! You acted like this is your first day, Cee." That little remark came from one of C.D.'s closets friends, Red. A crimson colt with a darker red mane and violet eyes. He would pick at C.D. for his dislike of the 'little' things. He also had a passion for music. His father worked at the music shop in town and his mother would have him take lessons. His instrument of choice, much against the parents eardrums, where the drums.

       "Red, you've known me LONG enough to realize that I can't help but feel questioned as to why we have to attend school." He said with a smirk. " I'm sorry I can't jump for joy when I see this building," C.D. pointed his hoof at the school.

       "Wait! Wait. Say 'Questioned' again!" Red said trying to beat down the laughter. C.D. stood with the most offended look on his face. As if he'd been insulted! But, because it would probably put him in somewhat of a happier mood watching his friend 'die' from laughing, he bit the bullet. "Questioned."

       Red began to Laugh uncontrollably! He fell over and began to roll around the ground. C.D. just watched, with the look of 'How could this get worse?' on his face. C.D. Scratch had a bit of a accent from his cellist mother's side of the family. A bit of Scottish mixed with something else. When he first met Red, he teased him about it to no end. So, he learned to control it better, though couldn't get rid of it. Every now and then, especially NOW, some words would be shielded by the accent. As much as it had caused him pain, C.D. seemed to have a belief that *ahem* 'Ponies loved it.'

       Now recovering from his laughing fit 3 minutes in, Red rejoined C.D. as he began to trot away. "Oh come on, Cee! You know it's not that embarrassing." Red assured his friend. "Hey you know what would be worse?"

              "What?" 'Cee' said with a shrug.

               "Living in a library!" The two young colts started snickering which soon became utter laughter. "Yeah, I guess that would be worse. How does Sky even deal with that?" Cee said between giggling fits, though was interrupted by the sudden stopping of Red. Who looked down and kicked at the dirt.

       "Oh! I see! You still have a little 'crush' on Twilight Sparkle." Cee said with the evil grin his DJ mother was known for.

               "Hey not cool, dude!" He said when a pink hue flushed his face.

               "Dude, she's, like, older than you. AND she's Sky's mom." Cee reminded. "Unless you're really talking about Sky-"

       "Shut up! I'm not like that!" He turned away. Just as Red began to rant about how he 'obviously' didn't like Sky, a filly trotted past Cee's field of vision. Her eye's where reflecting the light of the sun, giving the the proper attention they needed to appear as jewels that were placed in her head as a foal. Her mane, which was especial curly today, had bits of it self fall into before mentioned eyes, though looked crisp and freshly cleaned. Her coat was neat and tidy, as if not a piece was out of place. She was perfect. And I believe Rarity would approve.

        She was a bit of a shy and quite one. Her man was a sort of pink, blonde mix, which reminded Cee of pink lemonade. Her coat was a faded red, but wasn't pink. He didn't know how to describe such a color. (And neither did I.)

        But her eyes where what took C.D. by surprise. They were a beautiful mix of purple and red to make almost a violet color. They would make him freeze every time. If she would only talk to him or at least notice him...Though much to his expense, she did. She smiled and waved....As Cee fell over in aw.

       ".....And I'm not against it, or anything. You know. Cee?" Red had turned to see a certain colt, on the ground covering his eyes with his hoofs.

               "PLEASE tell me she didn't see me fall over!" squealed Cee shaking his head with shame.

        Red sat down next to his fallen bud with his hoof on his shoulder. "Don't worry. She did."

Later In Class *sigh*

       Class wasn't as bad as it usually was. Seeing how there was a substitute, whom may I add is sleeping at his desk!

It was CHAOTIC! Just utter chaos! Some ponies talking, standing around, throwing things at before mentioned 'sub. Others simply slept at there desk, wishing they were home. Cee and Red were sitting at they're appropriate seats listening to music from c.d. players. Red was enjoying a healthy dose of Fall Out Colt's album 'From Under The Apple Tree'. C.D., on the other hoof was intensely listening to Ponyhead's new album 'Get Kind'.

       As the school day came to a perfect end, the two colts trotted off the school property with big plans. "So, we practicing tonight?" Asked Red eating the apple from the substitute's desk.

              "Yeah, I just have to grab my guitar from the house. I'll meet you there, alright?" Cee replied. They said there goodbyes for now, and trotted away.

       As C.D. approached his door and unlocked it with his key, he heard sounds of heavy breathing and then a bang against a nearby wall. He opened the door, and looked on in terror...
