Author's Note

Since this story is mainly focusing on Shoeshine and Sea Swirl, it's gonna be told from Shoeshine's perspective from here on out.

Chapter Five

Me and Sunset slid into our respective seats at the lunch table.

"Well? How did the tour go?" Applejack asked, biting into an apple. I smirked at the idea of sneaking a pear into her applesauce, probably wouldn't even taste it.

"I don't know, those girls acted strange around us." Sunset admitted.

"There was something off about them." I agreed. Pinkies eyes lit up and I mentally prepared for the worst.

"Like off like this?" She asked, using her hair as a mustache. "Or off like this?" She shoved her face down into her salad and lifted it up, having carrots for teeth and lettuce for eyebrows. Berry gave a snicker at that. "Ooh! Ooh! Or maybe!" Rainbow put a hand over her mouth. She removed her hand and a carrot fell out of Pinkies mouth.

"Maybe we should just let them tell us." She suggested.

"That's just it, I don't know. Maybe someone already told them about what we did, who we were. So much for making a good first impression." Sunset mumbled.

"Mhm." Fluttershy agreed and we all stared at her. "Oh, uhm i don't think that's the case." We glared harder and she shrank down to hide. The lunch doors swung open with a bang and Fluttershy jumped as the lunch room went quiet, looking over at the doors.

"We've heard you want to get together, we heard you want to rock the school." Hair orange started to sing and I groaned.

"Great. You guys started a musical trend." I mumbled.

"We started a trend? Aw yeah!" Rainbow exclaimed and I rolled my eyes. I really should have seen that coming.

"We've thought of something that is better, something that changes all the rules." I watched as Orange Hair(my official nickname for her now) touched Watermelody and Starlight on the head. That was kinda weird to be honest.

"Why pretend we're all the same? When some of us shine brighter. Here's a chance to find your flame, are you a lover or a fighter?" She stroked Wizkid on the chin.

"Me and you, you and me. Why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one in the same thing. Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition? Are you afraid of failing the audition?" The Orange Hair, Pigtails and Blue Hair sang.

"They can really sing." I mumbled and ignored the shocked looks I got from Sunset and the Rainbooms. Berry and Sea Swirl had intrigued expressions on their faces as we watched the three girls.

"You're a star and you should know it." Orange Hair continued as she stroked Trixie's chin. "Yeah, you rise above the rest." I watched in awe as she climbed on the table and stepped over Tennis Match's lunch tray and Cloudkicker hand.

She stopped in front of Skunk Hair, actually had no clue what his name is so me and Sea Swirl call him Skunk Hair. She flicked his chin up and hopped off the table.

"It doesn't matter who you hurt, if you're just proving you're the best." She looked back at Octavia and smiled at her coldly.

"Battle, you wanna win it." Pigtails poked some random fuck I didn't know in the chest.

"Let's have a battle, battle of the bands."

"Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it." I smirked as I watched Pigtails separate the CMC from Snips and Snails.

"Let's have a battle, battle, battle of the bands"

"I could beat you." I grinned as I watched Blueberry Cake shout at Mystery Mint and Cherry Crash. Cherry rolled her eyes and looked away.

"You wish." She retorted.

"I so want this." Trixie whined and I rolled my eyes as some random student yelled back at her.

"Me and you, you and me. Why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one in the same thing. What's so wrong with a little competition? I'm going up at winning the audition." They finished singing as more people started to argue. I slammed my hands down on the table and stood up.

"Yeah!" I shouted. Sunset stared at me in shock. "We're the best, and we will win! Fuck you all."

"You're the worst thing to ever happen here!" Sea Swirl shouted at someone flipping us off. Berry grinned at Sunset and kissed her.

"Sunset my love, me and the two girls are gonna win this and prove my love for you once and for all." She stood up and started yelling at Flash Sentry about him being a bitch.

"What are you doing, Shoeshine?" Sunset demanded. I grinned at her, reached across the table and grabbed her shoulders.

"Sunset, don't you see? This is the opportunity we've been waiting for! To take back control of the school!" I let go of her and gestured around us at the arguing students. "We swoop in, take advantage of the chaos and after this, we calm everyone down and we will be back in control! Win-win situation!"

The Rainbooms shrunk against the wall nervously, watching us and the other students screaming at each other. I turned back and flipped someone off.

Diamond Tiara stomped up to us with her silver friend who's name I didnt know.

"You fools are never gonna win. You suck at everything!" She snapped and I smirked at her.

"Just like how you suck at keeping in your dear moms good graces?" I taunted. "We all know you're a disappointment, run along now child. The adults are playing."

She let out a huff and stormed off, her short silver friend behind her. I focused my attention on arguing with people, missing the concerned looks of Sunset and the Rainbooms.

"Those three are definitely in possession of some kind of dark magic. How else could you explain what happened back there?" Sunset commented and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't worry, y'all." Applejack drawled. "We'll let Principal Celestia know about those girls and they'll be kicked to the curb in no time. Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by a power crazed lunatic." Her eyes widened and she looked at Sunset. "Uh no offense." Sunset sighed and looked away.

"None taken." She mumbled. I glared at Applejack and punched her in the back of the head. She quickly recovered and spun around, her fists clenched.

"Why ya little.." She got cut off by Rainbow quickly getting between us.

"Nows not the time. Both of you are in the wrong, we can argue about this later. Let's move on for now." She snapped, giving us both dirty looks. We looked at each other, glaring.

"Whatever." Applejack mumbled, folding her arms and looking away. I smirked. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

"I have to get back to Sea Swirl and Berry. We have a band to name and a Battle of the Bands to win. See ya." I gave a wave and strode off.

"That girl is hard to understand." Applejack announced.

"She's easy to understand for me, she's very loyal." Sunset pointed out as they walked into the Principals office.
