//------------------------------// // Chapter 3:Heavy's New Friends // Story: The Tale Of Heavy Weight // by Spirit Of Fantasy //------------------------------// With one last deep sigh, Heavy Weight levitated the doors to the Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns open and casually walked through them and closing the doors behind him. It was then that he walked through another set of doors and found himself suddenly surrounded by unicorns of all shapes, sizes, and age. His eyes trailed to all the unicorns as well to the long hall ways that were aligned with metal lockers as far as his eyes could see, he then noticed that some unicorns were looking at him. He turned away from the peering eyes of other unicorns as he began to walk down the hall ways, but he then hit a slight bump in the road, he didn't know where to go to get to his class. He quickly thought about it and quickly decided to go to the school office to ask for direction, he didn't have to look far however as he looked to his left and saw that the room he was seeing was indeed the school's office. Noticing that more unicorns were looking at him with strange looks, he quickly turned away and ignored them as he swung open the door with his magic and went inside. He looked around to see a gray room with a shaggy carpet under him, he looked around but he saw almost no pony of interest, but he was then relieved as he saw a unicorn mare secretary filing papers in a secretary outfit. Heavy let out a sigh of relief and quickly approached the secretary's desk and cleared his throat to get her attention. "Ahem... Excuse me Ms but... I'm kind of lost here."Heavy asked as he noticed the secretary looked up and had to lean over to look down to see him. "Oh...! I'm sorry about that, I didn't see you down there, what's your name little colt?"The secretary asked with a soft smile. "My name is Heavy Weight, And I'm kind of lost here, do you know where Mrs Cloverstep's class is?"Heavy asked as the mare suddenly widened her eyes with shock. "Well... I do know where the room is, but are you sure you don't have the wrong room? you're awfully young to be taking such an advance class."The secretary said while Heavy looked at her as if he felt insulted. "Yes...! I'm in Mrs Cloverstep's class, my mom said so!"Heavy said fiercely. "Oh...! Okay take an easy now, just let me get out a file and check okay?"The secretary suggested as she magically pulled out some files from a cabinet. She read the file name and was indeed marked Heavy Weight, she gave the colt one glimpse before turning back to the file and opening it. She looked upon a few papers including a small photo of Heavy Weight, as she began reading the file she picked up on his parents, she read that Golden Heart was indeed his mother, but her eyes then went wide as she then read who his father was. Trying to contain herself as she continued on before seeing that Heavy was indeed assigned to Mrs Cloverstep's class in room 102. She finally rose her head with a surprised look on her face as she saw the colt getting impatient as he tapped his hoof on the ground. "I... See... Well now... It's a pleasure to have the son of Mega Weight attending this school, and now It doesn't surprise me that you're in her class, these scores are impressive."The secretary said as she set the file down. "I told you so, so can you tell me where Mrs Cloverstep's room is?"Heavy asked again. "Of course, It is room 102 down the hall and at the very end of the next hall on your left."The secretary said with a nervous smile knowing that she was talking to the son of Mega Weight. "Thanks!"Heavy said as he quickly rushed out of the office, leaving an overwhelmed secretary to collect her thoughts. Heavy now found himself happy and excited as he trotted down the hall way ready to take on his first day of school, he now didn't care for the ponies that looked at him any more, he wasn't going to let anything stop at this rate. Suddenly he broke into a small jog thinking that it would satisfy his excitement, but it proved to be a bad idea as he turned the corner and got the surprise of his life. As he rounded the corner into a new hall way, he suddenly slammed right into another incoming unicorn, they both smashed face first into each other before the force of the slam knocked both of them onto their flanks. Heavy quickly got to his hooves and shook off the slight daze he felt as he looked to see an older colt with a three shaded mane and tail of blue, a white coat and the cutie mark of a blue shield with a purple star slowly get to his hooves as well. He then shook of his daze as they both looked at each other and scratched at their manes with embarrassment. "Uh...sorry about that kid, I wasn't looking where I was going."The colt apologized to Heavy. "That's alright, I wasn't exactly being careful either, gee... You never know who you're going to run into around the corner."Heavy said as they both then shared a laugh at his joke. "Ha ha! You're pretty funny there kid, sorry about all this, my name is Shining Armor, what's yours?"Shining said as the colts came closer to each other. "My name is Heavy Weight, It's nice to meet you."Heavy said as they shared a hoof bump. "So... What were you in a hurry for?"The colt known as Shining Armor asked. "It's my first day here in the School For Gifted Unicorns, I'm in Mrs Cloverstep's class and I can't be late."Heavy explained quickly as Shining became a bit surprised by Heavy's answer. "Whoa...! Are you serious?! Aren't you a little young to be in a class that advanced, even I'm not in that class."Shining Armor said with shock. "Well... Maybe, but I'm in it, and I'm going to try my hardest to become the greatest unicorn ever! Just like my dad!"Heavy said with excitement. "Oh yeah, Who's your dad?"Shining asked. "His name was Mega Weight, my mother told me that he was a great unicorn that was said to be the greatest and most powerful captain of the royal guard princess Celestia has ever had."Heavy explained while filling himself with more excitement at his father's story. "Whoa...! That's pretty awesome kid, I'm actually hoping to become a captain of the royal guard one of these days."Shining said with fascination at Heavy's story. "Oh... Well that's pretty cool, I wish you luck on your dream."Heavy said. "Shining...! Will you please slow down?!"A small voice suddenly called out. Both colts turned to see another separate hall way as a filly that looked about a year younger than Heavy suddenly came around the corner and gave Shining Armor a pouty look as she slowly approached him. Heavy suddenly felt a small warm feeling inside him as he watched her approached them, her lavender purple coat was shiny and cute, It matched the dark purple mane and tail with the light purple streak in it. Her purple eyes sparkled and glittered as her pouty look suddenly changed to a surprised and curious look as she looked upon Heavy. "Sorry about that sis, I got a little excited and well... I payed the price for that."Shining said with embarrassment. "Really...? Oh I'm sorry about that."The filly said gesturing to Heavy. "It's...fine really, there's... no harm done,"Heavy said with a nervous chuckle. "Oh... Okay then, I'm Twilight Sparkle... What's yours?"The filly now known as Twilight Sparkle asked. "It's...Heavy Weight,"Heavy replied as he tried to hide his embarrassed expression on his face with his mane. "It's very nice to meet you Heavy Weight, are you going to be in my class?"Twilight asked once more. "Um... No not really."Heavy said as he finally turned back to look at her. "Twily, he's actually going into Mrs Cloverstep's class, can you believe that?"Shining Armor said as shock stretched over Twilight's face. "Wow...! You must be really good with magic, I hope I can get into that class one day."Twilight said while Heavy chuckled nervously with a slight blush. "Maybe one day you will, but for now I gotta get you to your kindergarten class."Shining Armor said as he gestured Twilight to follow him. "Aww... Okay then..."Twilight said in a grouchy tone as she began following Shining away. "We'll see you around though Heavy, you look like a pretty cool kid,"Shining said as they left. "Bye Heavy..."Twilight said as she waved to the colt while following her brother off to class. Heavy just smiled at the compliment as he watched the brother and sister walk off to class, he especially seemed to like Twilight as he smiled at her before she suddenly turned around and smiled right back at him. "Bye Heavy! I hope we can hang out sometime!"Twilight called out again as they disappeared around a corner. Heavy just waved them off as he felt even better about this place knowing that he may now have some friends as he turned around and trotted happily down the hall. It didn't take him long to finally reach the room he was looking for, he stopped right in front of the door that said Mrs Cloverstep's advance magic class room 102, he felt the anticipation building as Heavy began to pump himself up for the moment. "Alright Heavy, this is it, time to show every pony what you can do...!"Heavy said proudly as he opened the door and ventured inside. The minute he stepped into his new class he was greeted by the sight of thirty different unicorn fillies and colts that were almost twice his age staring at him, they did their best to suppress the urge to laugh and talk about him at him. After an awkward moment of silence, a unicorn mare that looked about forty who had a dark red coat, a jet black mane and tail, blue eyes and had a cutie mark of a four leaf clover with magic dust around it approached the young colt. "Hello there little colt, is there something I can help you with?"The mare asked with confusion. "You must be Mrs Cloverstep, my name is Heavy Weight, and I'm suppose to be in your class,"Heavy said standing tall and brave. "Heavy Weight...? Hmm... Give me a moment to make sure, It's just I've never had a student so young be able to attend my class before,"The mare now realized as Cloverstep said with a chuckle while Heavy just rolled his eyes. Cloverstep cleared her throat as she made her horn glow dark red and made a list of names appear, she then began to skim down of list of names until she did come to the name that did in fact say Heavy Weight. She raised an eye brow as she then transformed the list to the same file the secretary had and read a little about Heavy to verify it for herself, and when she saw who the parents were, she then understood completely. "Oh my goodness...! your Golden Heart and Mega Weight's son!"Cloverstep said with a smile. "huh...? I could understand how you know my dad, but how do you know my mom?"Heavy asked as Cloverstep chuckled. "Well... I knew your mom and dad when they were young, they were both in this class when I was a young mare working as an assistant for the previous teacher of this class, they were quite gifted and I knew they had a thing for each other."Cloverstep explained as every pony including Heavy widened their eyes in astonishment."It is an honor to be teaching their son after all this time." Heavy smiled as he then turned to face the class, they all looked upon him now with curiosity and fascination that they were now looking upon the son of the unicorn they have heard of in many tales when they were young. Suddenly the room erupted with questions, and Heavy was willing to answer every each one. "So you are the son of the incredible Mega Weight?!"A filly called out. "Yes...!"Heavy called out. "Can you do any magic?"A colt asked from the front row. "Yes..."Heavy replied once more. "Prove it then!"A colt suddenly called out before chuckling at him. Not liking to be called out, Heavy looked to the colt that called him out and saw a pitch black colt with a silver mane and tail, red eyes and the cutie mark of a black heart with a glowing red outline laughing at him from the back of the class. Heavy snorted at the colt not liking to be laughed at, but Cloverstep suddenly found a perfect chance to prove it for herself as she quietly levitated a sharp pencil and aimed it at Heavy. "Oh Heavy...!"Cloverstep suddenly called out before suddenly flinging the pencil at high speeds towards Heavy Weight. Heavy senses suddenly kicked in and turned an eye to the corner to see the pencil coming in fast, acting on instinct, he quickly lit up his horn and instantly threw up a bright and powerful blue shield that stopped the pencil cold in it's tracks. The crowd of students dropped their jaws and stared with astonishment as Heavy performed sharp focused and suddenly lit up the pencil with blue flames and fired it back, luckily Cloverstep managed to move her head at the last moment. The burning pencil just barely grazed by her cheek before suddenly sticking itself firmly against the wall as it disintegrated under the power of the blue flames, Cloverstep just let out a giggle while the class continued to stare with astonishment. "Wow...! Very impressive, not only did you manage to make a shield in the blink of an eye, but you also managed to turn a defensive spell into a weapon as well, a combination of fire, magic shields and levitation, you definitely have your parent's magical talents in your blood."Cloverstep explained as the crowd of colts and fillies began to cheer except for the dark colt in the back. "Thanks Mrs Cloverstep."Heavy said with a smile. "No problem at all Mr Heavy Weight, I can tell that you may very well become my top student in this class, now you may take your seat in the front of the class so we can get started."Cloverstep chirped with excitement. Heavy nodded and happily trotted to an empty seat in the front of the class and sat quietly as Cloverstep's lesson began, but at the same moment he was also becoming a target for a certain colt who didn't like how a colt half his age made him look like a fool.
