Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

“I’m starting to get the feeling they don’t like us,” Sunny commented as we looked around. It was so different here, students laughing with each other in the hallway. Hell, even the classes were fun. I never thought history could be fun but Cheerilee makes it that way. Even though Lightning and the others were attempting to make us feel unwelcome, it wasn’t really working. Well not on me and Lemon at least. I found it impressive how far they were willing to go and well, they could sing too.

“Gee what gave it away?” I asked as I rolled my eyes. Sunny gave me disapproving frown and shook her head with a sigh. I watched out of the corner of my eye as Coco Pommel walked past with Rarity as the two discussed fashion and Suri.

“Maybe the cold looks and glares,” Sugarcoat suggested as she cast a critical eye over me. “What happened to your uniform?”

“Oh I ditched it,” I shrugged in response. I wasn’t gonna admit Lightning gave me the idea after our discussion yesterday. I didn’t realize how right she was when we had like bo way of expressing ourselves.

“We’re supposed to wear our uniforms to school,” Sugarcoat pointed out as Sour groaned.

“We’re supposed to wear our uniforms at Crystal Prep!” I corrected with a grin.

“And?” Sunny questioned as she played with the hem of her skirt. “Where are you going with this?”

“We aren’t at Crystal Prep. So therefore, we don’t have to wear our uniforms!” I explained as I gestured towards my t-shirt and sweatpants. “We can finally explore our individuality at our school!”

“Our what?” Sunny demanded after a second. “What on earth is she talking about?”

“Only God knows,” Sour growled as she searched her backpack for her books I assumed.

“Ya know, the things that make us different,” I explained. “Sours sarcasticness, Sugarcoats bluntness, whatever it is you and Lemon do. Where is Lemon anyway?”

“Right there,” Sour said and pointed behind me. “Looks like she left music class.”

Lemon strode up us with probably the biggest grin I’ve ever seen fit on a humans face. She slung her headphones around her neck and wrapped an arm around mine and Sours neck.

“This place is awesome!” Lemon exclaimed. “Bro, we get to play guitars in music class.”

“Wow playing guitars in music class. Who would have guessed it,” Sour said in mock shock. Lemon ignored her as she leaned against the locker I was allowed to use.

“Can you really blame the Wondercolts though?” Sugarcoat asked in a monotone voice. “Within the first day, Jet Set insulted a student here and pissed the entire student body off. It’s logical they would take their hatred out on us all.”

“But we didn’t start it!” Sour snapped as she glared at Sugarcoat. “Well not us five. We shouldn’t be grouped in with the rest.”

“We will if we keep looking like that!” I gestured to Sour and Lemons uniforms as they all looked down at themselves. “Not only that, we will also forcibly get the school board to remove the uniform rule. Screw the parents.”

“Oh that’s a great idea!” Sour said sweetly she smiled at me. “Because this totally won’t backfire in anyway, shape or form.”

“It most likely will,” Sugarcoat stated as she opened her locker. “Plus with the Wondercolts releasing years of pent up anger to us, life is going to be a bit difficult. Especially in a different school.”

“Wish I went here,” Lemon mused as we stared at her in shock. “What? It’s a friendlier environment instead of CPA.”

“She has a point,” Sunny admitted after a moment. “I’ve never seen any student playing uno in the hallway before at our school.”

“Excuse me, you’re in front of my locker,” a rose haired girl with a rose stitched into her light red dressed tapped Upper Crust on the shoulder. Upper Crust was leaning against a locker, talking to Trenderhoof.

“Yeah so?” Upper Crust asked flippantly and I gritted my teeth. I absolutely hated her stuck up ass.

“My sister asked nicely,” a pink girl with blonde hair in a white dress with a lily on her skirt snapped.

“Okay and?”

“Move bitch!” The pink girl snapped as she gave Upper a shove and we gasped. No one ever dared do that at cpa. Nor did they ever speak to her like that.

“Did you guys see that?” Upper demanded as she pushed herself off the locker and looked around at everyone. The Wondercolts were looking away purposefully or glaring at her.

“If you’re looking for sympathy, you won’t find any here,” the third older girl with a blue dress with mini daisy designs in it said coldly. “You’re not really liked here.”

“Hmph!” Upper grumbled as she stomped off as some of the students started laughing.

“And come back when you learn some manners!” The pink girl called out with a snicker.

“Lily!” Cheerilee chided as she came out of her classroom. “Did you just shove another student?”

“No she tripped,” Lily said hastily as she looked at the teacher. “Tripped on her shoe laces. Was pretty funny. You can ask anyone in here. They all saw it.”

“Is that so?” Cheerilee asked sternly as I watched in surprise. Teachers at cpa wouldn’t just ask you like this. It’s just instant detention or suspension.

“Yeah she tripped,” Sour announced suddenly to our surprise as everyone looked at her. Lily’s face mirrored ours as she raised a eyebrow. “We saw it all.”

“Sour what are you doing?” Sunny hissed in her ear.

“Picking a side.”

We all stared at her as Cheerilee gave a brief nod and I let out a breath of air. I don’t know what the heck I was expecting. Cheerilee turned around and walked into her classroom as a flash of fiery hair in their caught my eye. Sunset plopped down at a desk with Rainbow and Derpy as the three started laughing about something.

“We should follow them,” I announced to my group.

“Why?” Sugarcoat demanded as she slammed her locker shut.

“They’re having a sleepover and we’re supposed to be learning about friendship. We can spy on them to see how friends interact and use it as a learning experience,” I explained as I smirked triumphantly. “Who’s with me?”

“This sounds stupid,” Sugarcoat stated firmly. “I guess we’re in to keep you out of trouble.”

I nodded triumphantly. Now the only problem was staying hidden.
