My Time with Nightmare Side of the Moon: Part 1
The Selection
Load Full StoryNext ChapterFast forward to September 21st, 2013. 211 fakers have been executed in my city alone. Anyway, it was about 10:20 A.M. when the whole school was called down for a surprise assembly. While we were going down to the auditorium, everyone was wondering what the assembly was about, except for the teachers. Not a good sign.
When I finally made it, I sat next to my best friend, Caramel Apple, in row D, seat 13. I admit I had a bit of a crush on her even though she was a filly-fooler. Her human name was Kira Chalmers. She was a HUGE fan of a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. When I finally got around to talking, our principal, Mrs. Silver Cloud, got up to the stage & everyone fell silent almost instantly. "Good morning, students. I am pleased to announce a very special guest... Princess Celestia!". The crowd cheered so loud I thought blood would gush out of my ears. When Celestia came onto the stage, I laughed. I'm serious, not even Crest 3D White toothpaste couldn't get teeth white as her by a LONG SHOT.
"Hello, Rainbow Wings Academy,..." was heard before the Queen of Pasty White was drowned out by the crowd. "... I am here to announce 3 points: Firstly, this world shall be renamed New Equestria!", she continued. My ears started ringing after that was said. "Secondly, construction is underway on my permanent New Equestrian residence next to this wonderful academy.".
Why was she so interested in the academy? "Finally, of utmost importance, I am here to select a second personal student.". Everyone was a deer in headlights & I knew why. Never in Equestrian history had Celestia taught 2 students at once. Whoever was picked would be immortalized in Equestrian history books. "To help me with my decision, I have brought along my current student, Twilight Sparkle.". I knew all about her . She was the librarian of Canterlot, Equestria. Celestia took Twilight under her wing to control her magic after almost destroying an academy she was doing an entry exam for. Big nerd & even bigger bitch. Celestia closed her eyes & looked around, but seemed focused on our particular section. "Are you sure you want to choose him, Celestia? I fear for your safety.", Twilight broke the awkward silence. "I'm sure, Twilight. It seems he needs the most help from me.", Celestia responded. "I'm still not sure-" "Trust me, Twilight. May I see the colt in row D, seat 13?".
You know that awkward moment when everyone's staring at you? You get the picture. "Whoever did this is an AMAZING prankster!", I called out to everyone. When I finally realized this was for real, I went up on the stage. You know the rest: Celestia congratulated me & told me lessons start tomorrow, etc., but no one but me knew what REALLY went on backstage.
