Chapter Seven

"I saw Rarity this morning." Twilight told the girls as they changed into their PJ's.

"Oh yeah? How's she doing?" Asked Applejack.

"She's getting better. She has really short hair now, and scars on her face." Twilight replied.

"Oh dear." Fluttershy whispered.

"At least she's getting better." Applejack smiled.

"We should plan a get well soon party!" Pinkie Pie grinned.

"I'm not sure Doctor Red Heart would let us in the ward." Twilight shook her head at Pinkie's suggestion.

"How about a glad you got better party?" Pinkie Pie tried again, and all the girls agreed.

"I'm glad it will just be us... I don't like mixing with others..." Fluttershy smiled, thankfully.

"Oh no! It won't just be us! We'll have it in the academy's hall! I got promoted chief party planner!" Pinkie told the girls her news, and they all smiled.

"Well congrats Pinkie Pie!" Applejack grinned. "I have good news too! The academy won the race!"

"And I won it!" Rainbow Dash squealed, then she coughed. "Obviously."

"That's great!" Twilight smiled.

"Rainbow Dash also got to meet her idol too." Applejack added, and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Spitfire! I finally met her!" Rainbow Dash announced, and she jumped onto her bed, surprisingly.

"I have news too..." Whispered Fluttershy.

"You do?" Pinkie Pie asked, with a huge smile.

"Yes... I get to look after Angel... the rabbit..." Fluttershy told them, with a small smile spreading out across her face.

"That's great!" Applejack smiled.

"We all had good days then!" Twilight smiled and got out a book.

"Studying? Again?" Rainbow Dash sighed.

"I have a test coming up..." Twilight replied, and Rainbow Dash groaned.

"We all have that test!" Rainbow Dash complained.

"And you should study. Don't you want a good grade?" Asked Twilight, and she sat on her bed and began to read.

"She's right, you know... I might study a bit." Applejack agreed to Twilight's idea, and went to grab a book herself.

"Me too..." Fluttershy grabbed a book too, and began to read.

"I'm not." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"Me either! Let's go out onto the dorm garden, Dashie! It's pretty at night, they have lanterns and music and sweets!" Pinkie Pie squealed excitedly.

"Cool! That sounds fun!" Rainbow Dash climbed off her bed and opened the door. "See ya later, eggheads."

In the morning, Pinkie woke up to Twilight shaking her, and she groaned.

"No." Pinkie Pie mumbled.

"Come on. It's Friday." Twilight told her.

"She's gonna have to report in sick." Rainbow told the girls.

"Why?" Asked Fluttershy.

"She kinda had a few drinks..." Rainbow admitted.

"Pinkie Pie!" Scolded Twilight.

"Mhmmm...." Pinkie groaned, but Twilight left her. Pinkie opened one eye, and the girls were already dressed and ready.

"Get better soon Pinkie Pie..." Fluttershy whispered.

Pinkie smiled and rolled over to sleep some more.

The girls left to go to their lessons, and then got stopped by a teacher.

"Hi Miss Cheerilee!" Smiled Applejack. Miss Cheerilee was Applebloom's teacher.

"Hello big Applebloom. Girls, there is an important assembly in the main hall. Go there, then lessons will remain as normal." Cheerilee smiled.

The girls headed to the hall, and sat down. They noticed Nurse Red Heart with Rarity in a wheelchair.

"She must be getting better if she can sit up." Twilight whispered to the girls.

"She does look different..." Applejack nodded.

The assembly started as normal, Principal talking about some improvements and about the upcoming tests, then, he said something that shocked everyone.

"As some of you spread rumours about, Starswirl's ghost is infact haunting the school." Principle said. Everyone exchanged glances.

Pinkie was awoken again by a voice. She rolled over, and was face to face with Starswirl.

"Rarity has been injured majorly by him, Fluttershy has seen him as she reported, and the girls in the dorm agreed, and Nurse Red Heart caught him trying to communicate with Rarity." Principle carried on.

"Hello, Pinkie." Grinned Starswirl evily.

"I advise you all to stay in groups, and don't go into the basements." He shot a look at the girls.

Pinkie screamed.

"That concludes our assembly." He finished, and people flooded out of the hall, people apologising to Rarity for calling her crazy.

Pinkie was gone.

Fluttershy headed off to her English lesson, going the opposite way to her friends, on her own. She was worried incase Starswirl got her, but then someone pushed her over and ran. Fluttershy whimpered as she fell, and cried as she hit the ground. She sat up and sobbed, and the person that pushed her over looked sorry.

"Um..." He mumbled and Fluttershy looked at him.

"I'm sorry..." The culprit apologised.

"I-It's okay..." Fluttershy mumbled, and he helped her up.

"My name is Discord." He introduced himself with a smile and did jazz hands and his name appeared above his head like magic.

"You're the naughty one, aren't you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Chaotic, that's me!" Grinned Discord. "Are you in 235 for English?"

"Yes..." Fluttershy replied.

Discord took her arm and grinned as she looked scared. "Allow me to be a gentleman." He smiled and they walked to English.

"Yo, Rainbow!" Called Sorain.

Rainbow Dash spun round and saw Sorain.

"Congrats on yesterday!" Sorain grinned.

"Thanks. Told you I would win." Rainbow grinned.

"Yeah..." Sorain itched his neck. "Um, hey, Rainbow, would you like to come to the local cinema tomorrow? You don't have to..."

"Of course!!!!!!" Rainbow squealed, then she stopped herself. "Why not."

Sorain grinned and laughed. "You're a strange one." He hesitated but grabbed Rainbow's hand. She blushed for the first time in forever, but didn't shake it off. She was beaming.
