Influential Intermission

Chapter 3 - Exploration & Knowledge

I waited around until 8:30 when I decided to leave my little alcove of the library to look around it some more. I was apparently on the second floor of the library and went down the stairs towards the center table with some computers in it.

I checked to see if any were on. They weren’t. I went towards the closest one and examined it. It had a keyboard and a monitor with the computer tower off to the left plugged in. I found a power button on the tower and monitor and pressed them both.

The computer turned on with a Windows esc type background. Except it had a horse for the logo instead. I fiddled around and found you needed to log in. This was a problem. If there wasn’t a guest login I would have a hard time getting access.

It was at this time the bell rang. I looked at my watch and it said 8:35. That must be when school starts. I walked away from the computers to go examine some books. So I could look as inconspicuous as possible. At that moment the doors to the library opened.

Ms. Cheerilee was have a good morning. It was mostly the same as usual so far, but she liked that. She opened the library doors, getting ready to prepare it for the day. She noticed something out of place right away. One of the computers was on. This struck her as suspicious and she wanted to know why it was on. She looked around but couldn’t see anyone from her current view.

Just then a person she’d never seen before had come into the library. He had slightly lightish-dark peach skin and darkish brown hair and eyes. She instantly stopped her suspicious demeanor and took on a sweet smile. “Hello there! Are you new to this school? I haven’t seen you anywhere before.”

<><><><>

When the doors opened I went to the far side of the bookshelf and peeked in between the books to see who had come in. I immediately recognized her as Ms. Cheerilee. “Of course! She was portrayed as a supervisor of the library in the movie!” I silently berated myself.

I quickly and silently made my way toward the entrance so as to seem as if I’ve just entered. When I did I walked nonchalantly into the library as if nothing had happened. Ms. Cheerilee instantly turned her attention toward me. “Hello there! Are you new to this school? I haven’t seen you anywhere before.” She said in a sweet manner.

“Umm hi! I’m a... uhh... new transfer student! My names Nick! What about yours?” I responded somewhat nervously. Obviously I already knew her name but she didn’t know that. Neither did she need to know either.

“Oh I’m Ms. Cheerilee, the librarian here at Canterlot High.” She said kindly. “What are you doing here so early? Shouldn’t you get ready for class?” She questioned.

I had to come up with some kind of reason quickly and wracked my brain for excuses. ”Oh! Um I need a book about the school! I was hoping you could help me find one?” I responded

“Of course! I would be happy to! I know just the book you need!” Ms. Cheerilee said enthusiastically. She went to one of the many bookshelves and took out one book. “Here you go! Hope you like it here Nick!”

“Thanks so much! I’ll come around sometime to return it when I’m done!” I told her. I turned to leave the library, book in hand.

======

I wasn’t really going to be a student at this school. I’m already in one, I don’t want to go through it again. Although I could learn some stuff about this world. Maybe I should. It’d help me out in the long run anyways.

I walked though the halls passing by various people of those in Equestria Girls. None seemed to interested or didn’t notice me. That was good for now. I should be incognito until I want to act.

“I wonder when Sunset is going to steal the crown.” I thought to myself. Would it be in a week? A few days? A month? I wasn’t sure yet, and to be fair no one really mentions the date in the movie anyway.

I found a bench nearby and sat down opening the book I had. I found out a lot of things at this school! Maybe I didn’t have to take those classes anyway. Although it seems this book was made recently. It only went back to when Sunset first showed up. “Smooth, real smooth universe. Very subtle.” I said to myself.

======

I read that book for maybe a good 45 minutes. It was a long book. I lost my focus due to a bell going off. “Oh right, this is a school.” I silently reminded myself.

I was pretty much finished anyway. I was in the last section which was just about who won the Fall Formal. I already knew who won all of them anyway.

======

I headed back to the library through the sea of students. When I opened the doors I was happy to see Ms. Cheerilee there, sorting some books.

“Hi! Thanks for letting me borrow this book for a while! I learned a lot of things about this school!” I told Ms. Cheerilee.

“I’m glad you learned so much Nick! I hope you like it here!” She responded.

“I hope so too.” I muttered quietly. I returned the book and decided to go back home. It was a eventful morning, enough for me to want to take a break.

I got back home through the portal box without much trouble. I’ve learned many things, most of which I already knew, but that’s besides the point.

I planed out what I would do tomorrow. I would set up a few cameras here and there in some important spots. The portal to Equestria, my portal back to the moon base, and a few others mismatched around.

I would monitor things and make sure I didn’t influence anything too much. I would also look out for when Sunset went through the portal. I was still yet to go through it after all. Even though it wouldn’t be open for maybe a week or so.

In any case, I was planned out for tomorrow, and went on with the rest of my day. Going to sleep that night happy at what I’ve accomplished so far.
