The parents smiled as their family piled into the new home. Night Light hugged his wife and kissed her on the cheek as she giggled. Shining Armor stuck his tongue out and pointed at it in disgust, Twilight chuckled slightly at this, causing him to laugh as well. 
Twilight Velvet had beautiful purple-white skin, her smile and blue eyes added to her beauty. Her bangs and curls of purple and white slid together perfectly and fell onto her dark blue blouse and light purple skirt. Her black heels fell off of her feet as she plopped down on the couch and sighed in relief at the freedom of her feet. 
Her husband on the other hand was as dashing as she was beautiful. Night Light had blue skin with dark blue hair, his yellow eyes popped. He wore an olive-brown vest over a beige button up. His dark brown pants complimented it nicely. 
The kids got their parents looks. Shining Armor was dashing and extremely handsome, Twilight was beautiful. Sadly, their personalities didn't match their parents. 
While Twilight had her messy ponytail, and her big black glasses, and her hot pink and light blue shirt with the brown waist belt, and the hot pink bow, she had a certain charm that didn't match either of her parents. Her purple skirt with a star pattern and a huge magenta star on the side slid down her purple skin to her light blue knee socks that fled into her purple-brown shoes. 
Her charm had almost nothing to do with her parents, leaving the two confused when she ended up with it. Her mother was ladylike, a worry wart, and a nit-picker. While she did good in school, she struggled to keep her grades at a high B at the most. She was lucky to get an A. 
Night Light was charming, a gentle man, and overall just a nice guy. He was surprised when his son ended up a total premature kid and his daughter ended up an annoying bookworm. He didn't do that hot in school either, yet Twilight had an undying love for books and knowledge. 
Twilight Velvet looked around at the only furnished house and smiled. "You know, I know I saw it yesterday, but... it almost feels nicer with the whole family here." Night Light almost fell in love with her all over again at her blissful smile and her messy hair from nights on nights of nit-picking packing. 
He smirked at her, "Well, it'll feel even better with all your pictures and wall décor up, won't it?" She smiled up at him, he swore he felt like a teenager all over again. She smiled and nodded. 
"Ugh!" She chuckled and glared down at her heels. "The neighbors are just going have to deal with a no-shoed lady for a day!" She picked herself up off the couch and started out the door. Her husband followed. 
He chuckled, "I told you to take them off on the way here! You wouldn't listen!" He followed her out. Shining Armor and Twilight stared at each other. They raced up the stairs, revealing a hallway with four doors. Three rooms, one bathroom. 
Twilight smirked at her brother. One room other than the master room had a bathroom along with it. Meaning whoever got that room, didn't get the up-in-the-middle-of-the-night bathroom break. 
Thankfully for Twilight, she got to see the house before hand, he was too lazy to get out of the car to see it. She jetted towards the end of the hallway, her brother quickly following her, expecting the last door to be the room she was after. 
She smirked as he speed past her. She turned into a room and stopped in victory. She looked at the right of the room, a extra door with a bathroom inside. Shining Armor groaned and poked his head into the room. Twilight smirked back at him. 
"C'mon, we should get our furniture up here, I think it's in the kitchen," she said proudly, eager to get back to her phone. He rolled his eyes and started down the hallway, silently agreeing. 
As they piled bed frames and mattresses up the stairs, their parents brought in box after box. Night Light and Shining Armor carried up heavy dressers while the women carried up shelves and drawers to said dressers. 
At around six, all the furniture was in the second floor rooms in their respective places. The four sat in the kitchen, taking a what was said to be a small break. They've been their for thirty minutes. 
At seven, they broke off to unpack boxes. Twilight carried up boxes that were marked with her name and Shining Armor did the same. While their parents unpacked the bottom floors boxes, the two carried up the boxes that went to the bathrooms and their parents room. 
As soon as Twilight shut her door, she raced over to her bed and pulled out her phone from under the one pillow that laid on the sheet and cover-less bed. She saw the multiple missed messages she had and groaned. She opened up the group chat that led to her old friends. 
Messages like 'How is it?', and 'Miss us yet?' were plastered in different colors. Sunny Flare's texts were in a pastel purple, Sour Sweet's were in a bright yellow. Sugar coats were an icy blue, while Indigo Zaps was a dark blue, and Lemon Zests was a hot peach color. 
Twilight scrolled up to skim over them. Seeing Sugarcoats icy blue reply to Sour Sweet and Sunny Flares constant questioning with a 'You know, that really is unnecessary with how far you're pushing it. You almost seem like you like her.'
Twilight snorted at the on-going conspiracy theory that Sunny Flare and Sour Sweet didn't like her. Even if it was always combated with the idea that Sugarcoat didn't like her, it still made her laugh. 
'It's fine, and I miss all of you,' she typed and sent. She put down her phone to start unpacking and instantly heard ding!. She rolled her eyes with an eager smile and she pounced back to her phone to see the sad replies. 
'Wow, surprising,' Sugarcoat replied. Twilight could almost hear the sarcasm as she read it. 
'I miss you too! But it sucks that it isn't better,' Sour Sweet typed. Again, the change in tone could be heard through an internal monologue of reading. 
'It's gonna suck without you! Now we have to put up with SourSunny so much more!' Lemon Zest typed, earning hateful comments from Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare. 
'Yeah! Poor, poor us. We're gonna suffocate with how much SourSunny we're gonna be exposed to!' Indigo Zap played along. 
'Whatever,' Sunny Flare replied with. Twilight tensed as she feared that was meant towards her. She sighed in relief as she read the next text. 'I have no idea how I'll survive without my homework buddy around.'
'With Sour Sweet!' Indigo Zap and Lemon Zest replied with almost instantly. Twilight laughed and sighed in relief as she typed. 
'Sorry girls, I'll text more later, but I really got to unpack all this stuff,' she typed and dropped her phone. She ignored the upcoming dings! of goodbye as she started opening a box.



Twilight laid in bed as she continued texting her last friend awake, Sugarcoat. Her hair was in a wet bun, as she laid on her stomach with her pillow under her chin. 
Her room had most of it's things unpacked. Her shelves were filled with books and picture frames of her and her friends. One of all six of them laid on her nightstand, next to a glass of water. 
Her room was dimly being lit by a magenta lava lamp gifted to her by Sunny Flare one year on her birthday. She had her ear buds in, listening to a music playlist Lemon Zest recommended for studying. She usually hated Lemon Zest's taste in music, but she liked these songs, which was evident as her feet and head bounced to the song. 
'I have to tell Lemon Zest how good this music is,' she typed. 
The middle of her body laid under a purple blanket with a big magenta star on it. Her room was roasting, even with the fan on. Which, again, was evident through her dark purple shorts and light blue tank top. 
Her vanity had a few nail polish and makeup kits on the shelves next to it, all gifted to her by Sour Sweet, who constantly loved to do her makeup. Her dresser that her vanity sat on had lightning bolts running down the side, courtesy of Indigo Zap who thought it needed some 'jazzing up'. 
'You know, that's really not necessary to mention, saying as she'll read through all this and see that. You could've just said you liked her music,' Sugarcoat replied. Twilight always felt inferior when talking to Sugarcoat, but she loved Sugarcoat almost for that reason. Though, Twilight really missed hearing her voice. 
She was surprised when the ding! rang through her ear buds as she replayed a song. She saw what Sugarcoat typed and was almost sent to tears. 'You know, I really do miss you. So do the others. We all love you, I can't wait to see you Christmas break.'
Twilight smiled as her fingers hit the letters, 'I know. Same for me. I miss and love each of you, thanks, Sugarcoat.'
'Whatever, well, head to sleep. You got a new school and everything to go to,' the icy blue box appeared. Twilight expected it, Sugarcoat always left right after something emotional happened, even if she said it and meant it to be sarcastic. 
Twilight smiled as she put down her phone and removed her ear buds. She placed them on the nightstand, along with her glasses as she burrowed her head into her weak pillow. She ran her legs across part of the bed, feeling the cold silk of her purple sheets made her feel a little better about the heat. 
Without the distraction of her music, or her friend, her stomach churned with worry for the upcoming day in just a few hours. Of course, she had everything set out a perfect, and she had already met the principle a week earlier, but the idea still terrified her. 
Her sick stomach led her to only three hours of sleep once she got up to her phone alarm. She groaned as she picked it up and revealed a six A.M. alarm. She shut it off and dropped it to her side, still holding onto it to prove she would get up. 
Her brother smirked and slammed open the door, scaring her out of her comfortable early morning half-stretch. He laughed as she stared at the door. She rolled her eyes and stood up, slamming it back shut and leaning her back against it to hold her sleepy legs up. 
She groaned as she walked over to her vanity, seeing her sleepy hair straight down in a mess of knots and tangles. One, she hated her hair down, and two, she hated tangles. She grabbed the brush and walked over to her bed, throwing her hair over and yanking through the knots. 
After five minutes of damaging her scalp, she got up and put on her clothes. She pulled her hair up into a high pony tail and put a pink headband with a bow behind her bangs. On top of a light purple shirt with a dark purple moon sat a baby blue jacket with white sleeves. A deep purple skirt sat on top of black capris-leggings with magenta stars on the side. She wore purple sneakers with baby blue socks that had white stripes on them. 
She smiled in the mirror, finally feeling awake. She grabbed her book bag and slung it over her shoulder, skipping down the hall, forgetting her fear. 
As she walked into the kitchen for an apple, she saw her brother was just as gussied up as her. She smiled again and grabbed an apple. 
"Shining! If you two don't hurry, you'll be late!" Their mother called from the living room. The twos happy expressions shot to fear as they glanced at the clock, it was seven exact. They raced past each other outside and into a white car. The car sped out of the driveway and they raced to the new school, getting somewhat lost on the way. 
Short story short, they were late.
The two arrived just as the bell rung, which Shining assumed was fine, since they had to get a tour anyways. On the other hand, Twilight's grip on her back pack straps tightened as her knees buckled together. She was a total worry wart, and anxiety-fueled her every move in a new place. Of course she would freak.
Just the idea of walking into a class during a session terrified her. Her brother rolled his eyes and grabbed her wrist, pulling her along as her feet stood stuck to the ground and her eyes stood stuck to the school. 
They passed the strange horse statue and walked into the school, not surprised to see no one there. Suddenly, a blue skinned lady walked up to them, the two recognized her as Vice Principle Luna. She smiled gingerly at the two. 
"Class started a few minutes ago, and since the school is rather large, the tour should be over by the time class ends," the lady smiled. She winked at the obviously nervous Twilight, "So don't worry." 
The two remained silent, even with the usual playful attitudes of the two, they stared attentively at her. She smiled, "There are two students who will show you around. I picked one from each of your grade levels, even if the school is rather... conjoined when it comes to classes, some students still don't know which classes most only seniors and juniors take." 
She looked down a hallway and smiled, then she turned to the two, "I hope you enjoy your time here at CHS." She turned away, and two girls turned the corner of the hallway she looked down. The two smiled at Shining and his sister. 
"Hi!" A girl extended her hand to the two with a bright smile. She had gorgeous pink skin with a beautiful set of purple, magenta, and yellow in her hair that was pulled into a high pony tail with a blue crystal heart.
She wore a white tank top that was cut off by a pink ribbon that wrapped around her waist. She had a long blue skirt with pink and white boots. She smiled at the two, "I'm Cadenza!" She looked at Shining Armor, "I'm assuming you'll be the one in my classes?"
He involuntarily nodded, only for her to smile brighter. He was speechless, she was so gorgeous, and she was obviously the senior of the two. He was going to have classes? With her? He might as well kill himself now, he wouldn't survive without embarrassing himself in front of her.
She giggled, and Twilight could tell she was the senior too. She looked to the other girl who smiled just as brightly.
"Hello darling," the girl purred happily and took a look at Twilight's clothes with a smile. "Very weekend like, I like!"
Twilight was confused as to what the girl meant but didn't bother with it. She was more or so infatuated with the girls choice of clothes and her looks in general. 
Milky white skin, bright blue eyes, deep purple locks and curls, a white sweater cut off by a high waisted, purple skirt, black tights, and deep purple boots? Any boy would want her in just a second! And her class made her all the more lovable. 
Twilight knew she was pretty, but the girl made her feel so insecure about her looks, even she after was just complimented. Twilight waved half-heartedly, even so, the girl smiled. 
"Ooooh! We're going to be the bestest of friends! You know, you're hair would be so lovely to play with! And would be doing your makeup! Your skin is such a pretty color, and it matches your eyes!" The girl ranted happily. Then, she brought her hand to her mouth and giggled. "Oh, how silly of me! I'm Rarity, so nice to meet you!" 
Twilight extended her hand and shook Rarity's, even if she was worried her hands were sweaty. Though, the girl seemed as if she was the purest of the pure. Too pure to comment on sweaty hands. 
Cadenza smiled at the two, "Well, one, thank for getting me out of class, and two, lets get going. I don't want to miss second." She giggled and started walking down the hallway from where she came. Rarity, Shining Armor, and Twilight followed. 
Cadenza showed around the senior and junior halls, while Rarity explained the freshmen and sophomore classes. They didn't need two to show around, they really didn't. Classes didn't seem separated by grade level. 
Twilight assumed it was so the two had a friend going into the new school. So, she smiled at the thought that she at least knew somebody. Even if they didn't become friends, well, the girl seemed set on being friends. 
"And this is the class we're supposed to be in right now," Cadenza explained happily to Shining Armor. She waited, holding her finger up with a proud smile. The two stared, utterly confused. Until, the bell struck, she sighed in relief and looked to Shining Armor. 
"C'mon, you have my next class," she grabbed his wrist and the two ran off down the hall. 
Twilight turned to Rarity nervously as the classes started letting out. Rarity smiled, "Darling, please! I wouldn't leave you on your own! It'll take a bit to learn the school!" 
She smiled sweetly, "I think you have my next class, is it English?" Twilight took a look at her schedule and nodded, only for Rarity to smile and lead her on their merry way.
