There's a new kid in Mrs.Cheerilee's class, his name is Quiver, he has no cutie mark, just like three other children. Although, he is a quiet and odd one.

It was an average school day for every good little colt and filly, although one new kid kind of wreaks havoc among the cutie mark crusaders and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Most likely because Silver Spoon has a crush on this new colt, but she doesn't want to tell Diamond Tiara because Quivers a blank flank. Although, what's weird is that even Quiver has a crush on Silver Spoon, but doesn't want to tell the Cmc this because she's a bully towards them. This seems to not be such an average school year.

The X-Colt

Its another day of school, well atleast that's what the Cutie Mark Crusaders think.

Scootaloo groans in boredom. "Oh my gosh, why is it we must sit here through class, we could be out getting our cutie marks now." Scootaloo apparently dislikes school as much as everyone else, although Applebloom seems to love learning about cutie marks.

"Oh come on Scoots, if we go to school sometimes Mrs.Cheerilee will talk to us about cutie marks, and hey, maybe today will be the day a new student comes in, and we will have another member in the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"Yeah right, everytime you said that no one has came, I mean literally no one ever moves to Ponyville. Besides, Babs, who was only here for a day!" Sweetie Belle made that point known from her yelling, but I guess all of them just groaned and got filed into Mrs.Cheerilee's class room. Mrs.Cheerilee entered and looked a bit more happier then she usually does.

"Alright children, today I have an important announcement, we've got a new student." Cutie Mark Crusader jaws dropped when they heard this. Mrs.Cheerilee motioned towards the door. A small dark furred colt walked through, of course no cutie mark, and with a very scene type hair. He looked anxious, either that or extremely nervous.

"H-hello everypony..." Everyone was probably thinking the same thing, he talks a lot quieter then Fluttershy, then Mrs.Cheerilee broke that awkward moment by just introducing him for him.

"Alright everyone, this is Quiver, he is from Fillydelphia." of course Quiver sighed and shook his head, he was embarrassed on the first day of school, and by the teacher.

Although one filly seem to of cared a lot more then anyone else, except the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Silver Spoon, she was love struck, and at a very young age. Although, Diamond Tiara picked up on this fast and jumped on that.

"Silver Spoon, don't you dare tell me you have a crush on that blank flank." Silver Spoon blushed so hard and then shook her head wildly.

"N-no of course not, why would I ever have a crush on a blank flank." she lied, and badly because Diamond Tiara gave that
"I'm watching you" stare. Then, Mrs.Cheerilee assigned Quiver a seat next to Silver Spoon. That didn't help her case with Diamond Tiara at all.

Quiver went to sit down right next to Silver Spoon and awaited any instructions. Mrs.Cheerilee decided to assign partners for a Equestrian History assignment, of course Quiver had to pair up with Silver Spoon. When Quiver took a look at Silver Spoon, he couldn't help but think she is immensely beautiful and attractive. Of course Silver Spoon thinking the same thing, both of these fillies had nothing but extreme nervousness around each other, although Quiver thinks Silver Spoon is to good for him, and Silver Spoon thinks Quiver is to cool to be with her. Funny their both wrong. So, they both basically never spoke to one another, besides thinking about each other through the whole entire day.

After school the Cutie Mark Crusaders were already talking to Quiver.

"Hey Quiver!" Quiver stopped walking home to look at the three fillies running towards him. He gulped and then turned around to face them.

"H-hey guys, whats up?"

"We noticed you don't have your cutie mark! So me, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo made a group completely based on getting our cutie marks, we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Would you like to join?" This was the first time Quiver smiled ever since they met him, he nodded and loved the idea.

"I would love to! I've always wanted to know what my cutie mark would be!" he was ecstatic to join.

"Don't worry theres no initiation or anything all you need to do is spend time with us everyday trying to find our cutie marks, but if you'd like you can stay out of it and just watch, or work on your own ways!"

Scootaloo patted his back and they all ran off to their treehouse. Quiver being the small colt that he is, he thought the tree house needed a bit of a boyish addition to it. So he took some black spray paint and white paint, and painted a skull and crossbones on the board walk of the treehouse. Scootaloo thought it was cool, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle didn't mind it, to much. They shrugged it off and went inside the treehouse. They gave Quiver his cutie mark crusaders cape and inducted him into the Ponyville cutie mark crusaders.

"Quiver your now in the cutie mark crusaders! Welcome, and trust me we will get our cutie marks eventually, if only you were here when we were in the talent show." Quiver tried to imagine what that would of been like, but apparently he got a bad idea, and kind of giggled at it.

A few hours go by and its late, Quiver and the Crusaders all day were talking about Quivers old school, it turns out Quiver was a hardcore loner and had no friends. He only devoted his life to painting and drawing amazing pictures, the teachers loved him, but the students were scared of him due to what his brother was known for. He was a studier of the ancient ghost spirits of early Equestria. Although, the Crusaders found this interesting and wanted to know more, thats when they had the idea of ghost hunting cutie marks, although they've already tried this. Due to the small notebook they carry with them that provides ideas.

Quiver noticed the time and had to go home, he thanked the crusaders and ran home until he saw Silver Spoon outside of her house. He stood there and didn't notice how pretty she was in the moonlight, and apparently without her glasses. That was until Silver Spoon glanced at him and Quiver fell behind a bale of hay. His heart was racing and was in a dire panic, he had to run home quick before Silver Spoon saw him, she would probably think of him as a freak.

"Oh m-my, do I have a crush on Silver Spoon?" his average unawareness of the obvious is sad, but he kept thinking about it all night until he got home and his brother was sitting around the fire place, looking at notes of ghostly investigations.

"Hey bro, where have you been all day?" his brother got up and looked at him.

"Oh bro I made some friends today! Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, they're the cutie mark crusaders, we're on the mission to obtain our cutie marks!"

His brother, Shade, was fond of this idea and laughed at his brother and scruffed his hair. "Great job little bro, you did good on your first day, well what else happened?"

"Oh ummm" thats when he realized about Silver Spoon. "I, ummm may have a crush on someone..." his brother laughed so hard and he threw his hoof over his little brother.

"Really little bro! Thats great, and hey I'll teach you a little something about girls."
"Wait, when did you ever have a girlfriend Shade?" his brother laughed then got serious.

"We don't talk about that little bro." Quiver laughed and they were up stairs, Shade explaining the basics of girls but Quiver completely confused.

"Alright, bro now do you know the basics of mares?" Quiver was contemplating this and just shrugged.

"Y-yeah I do, let's see they can be the greatest things ever or the worst experience you've ever had?" Shade laughed and went back downstairs to get some sleep.

Quiver crawled into bed and went to sleep. Although he didn't expect to be dreaming of Silver Spoon.

Her glasses were off and she was laying next to Quiver, Quiver let out a deep breath and fell asleep, apparently next to Silver Spoon.

He whispered in his sleep. "I think I'm gonna like Ponyville." and then he completely fell into a deep sleep, awaiting tomorrow's school day.

Author's Note

If any girls find this offensive, I'm insanely sorry, its just I was trying to find how a normal colt would identify girls, as of being immature and a bit ignorant. So, no offense intended. ENJOY! >:D

Broken Glasses

Alright as Quiver has dreams of Silver Spoon, what do you think Silver Spoon is dealing with? Well, Diamond Tiara is a big start, right now if Diamond Tiara were to find out Silver Spoon had a crush on a blank flank, she would go insane.

Silver Spoon wakes up early in the morning, her mane is messy and she smiles at the mirror, of course day dreaming for a while about Quiver. That was until her mother yelled for her to get to school, so she grabbed her glasses and saddle bags and ran out of the house. She didn't even think about eating breakfast, mainly because she spent an extra ten minutes to day dream. Then Diamond Tiara saw Silver Spoon and looked at her with the cold hard stare she gave her when she confronted her.

"What took you so long, Silver Spoon?!" she was practically yelling at her, by this point.

"I was eating breakfast, you should know how long it takes for me to eat." of course she lied to herself and Diamond Tiara, because she was thinking of something, or someone else for that matter. Diamond Tiara looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, next time you do this I'll assume you were thinking of that....blank flank" she looked once more at her, then Silver Spoon blushed a bit to red.

"N-no way, seriously Diamond Tiara, why would I ever have a crush on a....blank flank!" she lied yet again. Silver Spoon slowly walked behind Diamond Tiara as she kept bragging about her self. Silver Spoon sighed until she saw Quiver laying on a bench outside the school, reading a book. As they walked by him Silver Spoon only sighed, mainly at the fact she couldn't talk to him without committing social suicide.

Now as Silver Spoon felt completely depressed from having to walk away from Quiver. Quiver felt depressed that Silver Spoon walked past him, completely disregarding his existence, at least thats what he thinks. Quiver sighs, and steps down from the bench to have the Cutie Mark Crusaders be right there in front of him before he noticed.

"Hey Quiver, hows it going?" as Scootaloo said finishing off an apple.

"Oh, umm it's all good I suppose, am a bit hungry though." that was until Applebloom offered him an apple. He happily accepted it and starting eating it.

"Thanks Applebloom." as he said eating it with a big grin.
"No problem Quiver, anything for a fellow Crusader." as she finished her sentence the school bell rang and it was time for class. They all ran into Mrs.Cheerilee's class, as usual Quiver sat next to Silver Spoon, but again neither one was able to express their feelings they both needed help, but if they asked anyone it would be seen as a form of suicide.

After class was over Diamond Tiara started making fun of the Crusaders, of course Silver Spoon having to join in, due to her so called friend. The Crusaders all sighed and continued to walk on, but Quiver, walked in the forest with an enormous amount of depression.

"I knew she didn't even care for me, I feel terrible." Quiver laid down in a clearing of the forest and almost fell asleep, until he heard a rustle in the bushes. He got up and stood there looking at the rustle. He was hoping it was Silver Spoon, which it wasn't it was Shade.

"Hey bro, whats up? Why did you run away like that?" he said that while throwing his hoof over Quiver and squeezing him tight for comfort.

"I feel terrible, Silver Spoon seemed like such a nice girl, but she clearly isn't considering she made fun of me today, for being a.....blank flank." he covered his flank with his tail and ran his hoof through his hair feeling depressed. Shade sighed patted his brother and walked away, for they've had this conversation over a thousand times.

Quiver sighed and started making his way towards home, that was until he heard a light crying, he looked around and notice it came from around the school house. What he saw was almost surprisingly shocking. It was Silver Spoon with broken glasses and she was crying into her hooves.

Quiver hurriedly slid to her side, she looked at him and stopped her crying almost instantly.

"Don't help me blank, I don't need your help." of course Quiver didn't believe any of this.

"You can drop the wannabe bully act, I mean what bully cries behind a school house?"

"One who can't live up to her name." she cried even more but she didn't allow any of Quiver's help. Quiver merely lifted her up and took her glasses.

"Your glasses are broken, here come with me, I'll fix them." Silver Spoon could not get any word in, she merely followed him and still crying. Quiver and Silver Spoon walked into the school house and Quiver fixed the lenses and middle, using lenses from another pair of glasses, and tape.

"Why are you helping me?" she said this between sobs.

"Because, I believe that there is good in you, you just let Diamond Tiara force you to be a bully, and I can tell you don't want to be." Silver Spoon was surprised by this show of friendship towards her.

"How can you tell?" an obvious question.

"Because, you let me help you. What bully lets a blank flank, repair their glasses." he handed her, her glasses.

She took her glasses, slipped then on, and Quiver still thought she looked pretty either way. Silver Spoon looked at Quiver, this time he was much closer, probably because, she couldn't see very well without them. Silver Spoon and Quiver both blushed and had extreme anxiety.

"So, ummm I'll see you tomorrow, Silver Spoon." he said this as heading for the door and looking back at her.

"Y-yeah, see you tomorrow, Quiver." Then Quiver left and Silver Spoon was shocked at the fact someone helped her, Diamond Tiara never would have helped her in her time of need. Although, she found it funny he didn't ask why she was crying. She wanted to explain to someone, why she cried everyday behind the School house, with her glasses broken.

Young Heart Confessions

It was night time, still the day Quiver aided Silver Spoon, Silver Spoon was lying in her bed, she was playing with her glasses. She was rather depressed, but happy at the same time, she for once found someone that knew how she felt, she didn't want to be a bully, she wanted to have friends who like her for who she is. She wanted Quiver to like her for who she is, not for what she believes is alright. Silver Spoon sighed, laid her glasses on the night stand and curled up, falling asleep, slowly.

Quiver was in his room, sitting on his bed and thinking about how he helped Silver Spoon, he wondered if he actually did anything. He wondered if Silver Spoon actually appreciated his help, he teared up a bit and went to sleep. Shade was standing in the doorway, he sighed patted his brothers head, turned out the light and walked down stairs.

As you can see, Quiver and Silver Spoon's problem couldn't get any worse, well they could, the Cutie Mark Crusaders could've found out, or Diamond Tiara could find out. Either way their lives kind of suck right now.

The next morning Quiver left home earlier then usual, he arrived at the school, Miss Cheerilee completely unaware of why a student arrived so early. She walked down to Quiver and of course he was reading, she thought of another pony that did that, but shrugged it off.

"Hey, Quiver? What are you doing here so early, it's not even time for some students to get up?" she asked while sitting down next to him."

"Oh, hello Miss Cheerilee, it's just I've got a lot on my mind lately, it's something a bit personnel." he said this while closing his book and laying his head on his front hooves.

"Well, I'm your teacher, you can talk to me about anything, thats what a teacher does, they help students in personnel and school problems." she smiled brightly at him.

Quiver took a gentle breath and looked at Miss Cheerilee. "Miss Cheerilee, what do you do when you have a crush on somepony but, you aren't able to tell them?"

Miss Cheerilee chuckled at this question, she patted Quiver and looked him in the eye.

"All you need is extreme confidence Quiver, don't let anypony bring your confidence down." Quiver looked at her then nodded, smiling at her. "Thank you Miss Cheerilee."

"No problem Quiver, by the way your doing amazing in history, I think I'll cut you some slack, you seem to have a bit of stress here and there." they both laughed and Quiver saw a few of the other fillies and colts arriving to school. He saw Silver Spoon, he decided he was going to tell her after school. Although, his patience did not help him make it through the day, just barely could he sit through class.

It was after class, lucky for Quiver, Diamond Tiara left Silver Spoon, he just assumed she had to be somewhere. So, he went up to Silver Spoon.

"Hey, Silver Spoon, can I talk to you?" he looked her in the eyes, you could tell Silver Spoon was worried at her own answer, she looked in all directions to see if anyone was watching. She was close to replying, until Diamond Tiara came up behind her and completely destroyed the entire moment.

"Really?, Blank-Flank, just go away, you act as if Silver Spoon cares about you, well she doesn't, just like me, so you have a few options, you can leave or stay here and become humiliated." everypony was watching this, even Miss Cheerilee was, although she wasn't doing anything besides observing.

Quiver dropped his saddlebags and ran off crying, he ran through the forest, ramming into trees and shrubs, running back into the clearing.

Silver Spoon watched as Quiver ran away crying, she finally had enough. She looked at Diamond Tiara

"Diamond Tiara, I am sick and tired of you! You are nothing but a giant bully, and just a big jerk!" she slammed her hoof into the ground. Her glasses falling onto the ground and breaking. Diamond Tiara was astonished by her friend.

"Silver Spoon, you can't seriously be protecting him are you, how could you possibly do something like that to me, I always knew you were a loser." Diamond Tiara trotted off, apparently a few other fillies followed her. Silver Spoon wondered what was with them.

"Back up friends apparently." she ran after Quiver, completely forgetting her glasses fell and broke. She ran for hours looking for him, she heard light crying but couldn't find him. That was until she came to a cliff, Quiver was lying on the cliff side. He was crying hard, he practically made a puddle of tears.

"Quiver?"

"Leave me alone, haven't you done enough, I'm a blank flank, clearly I'm not worth your time." Quiver still believed she was a bully, but not anymore.

"Quiver, look I'm sorry....Diamond Tiara is not my friend anymore, I want you to be my friend, although a bit more then friends, I want you to be my special some pony." Quiver didn't budge an inch.

Silver Spoon started crying, practically yelling at Quiver. "Like you said, I'm a wannabe bully, you helped me while I was crying behind the school house because no one was a true friend to me! Diamond Tiara is a bully! You were the only other pony to actually care for me, you helped me!" she was crying and it started to rain a bit. Quiver got up and looked at Silver Spoon.

"Y-you really did?" he wiped his face and walked up to her, she was crying so much, he almost thought the rain was covering her face. Silver Spoon didn't answer she merely kept crying, Quiver hugged her, he let her cry into him, he almost cried him self.

"Silver Spoon, is it true that you want me to be your special somepony?" she looked up at him and nodded, her eyes completely exposed to him.

"How could I refuse? I would be happy to be your special somepony." Silver Spoon cried a bit more and wrapped her arms around Quiver, it was raining a bit to hard, their manes sopping wet. Quiver looked up and picked up Silver Spoon.

"We better get out of here, the rain is extremely bad." they both got up and started running towards home. That was until Quiver stopped to pick up Silver Spoons glasses. They both looked at one another and nodded at each other. They continued running until they came to a small awning, they stood under it and Quiver looked at Silver Spoon.

"I just wanted to say....." before Silver Spoon could finish her sentence, Quiver had kissed her, it was passionate, caring, and loving. Silver Spoon didn't argue she just continued with it, that was until Quiver backed off a bit and slipped on her glasses for her. They appeared to have nothing happen to them.

"How did you fix them so quickly?" Quiver winked and pulled up a broken pair of glasses.

"Lets just say I needed to buy a gift for my special somepony." Silver Spoon wondered for a while on why he got her a gift, especially before he could even talk to her.

That was until Silver Spoon thought of something, they wouldn't be together forever.

"Q-quiver, do you think we will last forever?" she said this with a few tears in her eyes and pressed her head on his chest.

"If we can work thinks out and not fight, a lot. Then we should be fine, but we need to make the best of it." he wrapped his hooves around her and the rain continued to fall. They both had finally found, their special somepony.

The Crusaders came were standing under an umbrella watching them, all three of them wishing Quiver would of came to them for help. They all walked up to them and held out an extra umbrella for them, Silver Spoon looked at them and felt bad for treating them like she did.

"Hey guys, I'm sorry for being a jerk to you three, can we start again as being, friends?" she looked at them, of course all three of them laughed and hugged her.

"Of course you can!" Silver Spoon was forgiven, she had friends and she had a special somepony. Her life couldn't get any better. It just goes to show even the biggest bully could have amazing friends at the end of their bullying ways.
