Introduction

Equestria University, where parents shipped of their little colts and fillies to learn about the world outside their homes. The lessons where the same you would find in any school with the except of the practicality during lessons, like for P.E you would buck trees or run laps around the field to get you into shape and give you a taste of work for when your parents cannot bear to put you with you no longer. Furthering the approach for outside of school practices the school gave job for those who are willing.

Well I guess you guys are wondering why I am here, well I just thought it was time to get back into my studies after the troubles of the passing years so I decided to leave everything behind and start anew in Equestria University but before I go into a long, boring and possibly deadly history lesson I should introduce myself. Well, my name is Storm Rider, yeah the most generic name possible, and as the name suggests I am a pegasus pony, my mane is white and red streaked with the same pattern going through my tail. My coat is a light shade of blue complimented with the occasional darker blot but the one thing that stuck out of my.... light coat was a black comet design on my flank symbolising my love for speed and of course my ‘party’ trick.


POV Storm Rider

With a heavy sigh I cast a look at the ominous school buildings in front of me with steady streams of students filtering their way from building to building, a few new arrivals stood behind me each with their own families crying and fussing over their little fillies and colts who were leaving them while I stood alone, silent, my family had long since last me on my own and thrust me into a world of turmoil.

“Uhh hey, are you new here? I can show you around if you want” A purple unicorn asked,  I snapped back to reality and away from my own thoughts I looked her over taking in her appearance, I smile back at her.

“Yes I am new, my name is Storm Rider pleased to meet you” I answered holding out my hoof

the unicorn blushed as she took my hoof and shook it.

“Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I can show you to your dorm and help you get to your lesson rooms” She replied, still blushing. Why was she doing that? I shook my head to avoid jumping to conclusions so early “Well, my room number is 515 could you take me there first?”

“Sure just follow me I’m just down the hall so just shout if you need.. anything”. I furrowed my brow confused at the pause in the mares sentence, I shook my head again still refusing to believe what seemed so obvious. I started to follow her still thinking about her actions during our conversation, wondering if... just if... Nevermind although looking at her now she had a pretty nice flank and I wouldn’t say no.


Sharp Rhythm's POV

To the sound of muffled voices outside the door I begin to head toward it, slowly I step towards the door forever tilting my ear to get a better sound, until I hear "well I guess I'll be seeing you around" from a filly and then "ok, see you around" from a stallion who swung the door open nearly knocking me over, the blue pegasus said "oh sorry I didn't know you were that close to the door"

"well it's alright, I see you’re already getting attention from the fillies then?”

“Uh I guess so” the pegasus replied uncertainly

"Well hi, I'm Sharp Rythem" I replied

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Storm Rider but you can call me Storm, it's what every pony  else does" the Pegasus said, holding out his hoof

"Well call me Sharp" I said shaking the other ponies hoof.


Storm Riders POV

Breaking the hoof shake with my new roommate I walk over to the small 'room' which provided privacy from the rest of my dorm, I pick the one closest to the window, being a Pegasus I enjoy some late night flying and don't want to wake Sharp. I started to pile my possessions into the small locker before pulling a small piece of paper from my jackets pocket "Hm Art at 9am, not a bad way to start…" I thought to myself, I finishing packing and open my door " HEY! Sharp! You wanna go for some breakfast?"

"Breakfast? Well lead on" Sharp replied

"Sure thing, I just need to" I scrambled for an excuse "uhh go… see Twilight, you know that mare from earlier?"

"Oh, well...I'll save you a space"

"We're sitting with Twilight's friends, she said we'll know them when we see them" I answered kicking my door closed and heading towards the front door "See ya down there buddy" I shouted back into the room.

Sharp Rhythm's POV

"I wish I knew what was going through that stallion's head" I mutter to myself "still must not miss breakfast" still murmuring to myself.

I headed towards the door and proceeded to leave, while I was closing the I could hear the stampede headed for the dining hall "oh hay bails, I'll never get served in that queue" so I turn and gallop down the hall to the dinner hall

shouting "hay on toast here I COME!".


  Storm Rider's POV

I stood awkwardly outside of Twilights door, making small movements with my hooves, I could hear her through the door speaking with another posher sounding voice

"Oh deary let's not get too excited her, you've just met him you need to calm down before you get yourself hurt" the posh voice said.

"I know Rarity but…" Twilight almost sounded like she was pleading as the conversation lapsed into an awkward silence. I stood shocked at what I heard was it… was it me they were talking about? A new found surge of confidence came over me, I messed my mane up slightly then laughed at myself for doing so… I raised my hoof to the door and slowly knocked. Twilight opened the door and blushed… again before speaking "Oh hey Storm Rider, do you need anything?" She said not looking at me but the carpet a few feet in front of me

"Well… I was kinda hoping to get some breakfast or at the least meet some of your friends" I replied trying to keep a poker face. "Oh sure just let me grab my saddlebag and we can go" She said in a slightly rushed voice. I could hear hushed voices from indoors before a white unicorn with a purple mane appeared, smirking

"Hello, Storm is it? My name is Rarity, pleasure to meet you" Rarity said in a calm voice keeping the smirk "Twilight will be out in a second, I shall leave you TWO alone. She pranced away down the hall with a huge smirk.
