Chapter 3
Meet The Crew (part 2)
"W-what happened?" Fluttershy said, blinking slightly as she slowly woke up, rubbing her head from having laying on the bench.
"Ah, morning Fluttershy." Sunset Shimmer said, smiling a bit, wearing lab equipment over her dress. "Pyro blew up a lab, and well you passed out after seeing the aftermath."
"Oh yes... Is he alright?" Fluttershy asked, a worried look on her face.
"Oh, he's fine." Sunset replied, nodding slowly as she turned a Bunsen burner off, sighing a bit. "He said he had to get something from the greenhouse, and that he'd show us around after you woke up."
"Oh, what was it he needed?" Fluttershy asked, as she got up to look around the lab. "I could... I could probably help look for it."
"He didn't say." Sunset sighed, shaking her head slowly as she looked out of the lab. "Probably something for pain or something like that."
"Strange..." Fluttershy said, mumbling a bit softly.
"Yeah, he said he'd be right back..." Sunset said, shaking her head a bit slowly as she turned towards the door. "I'm going to look for him, to see if he's alright." She then said, looking back at Fluttershy after opening the door. "You'll be alright sitting here?"
"Yeah." Fluttershy said, nodding slowly. "Um..."
"Yeah?"
"Goat."
"Goat?" Sunset asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion, before jumping in shock away from the door. "What the... Why is there a goat here?"
"Oh, that's Beauford." Pyro said, laughing a bit softly as he came up from behind the goat. "He's the resident goat of our little group."
"Beauford?" Sunset and Fluttershy asked him, looking up at him. "Oh, are you alright? Your hand..." Fluttershy then asked looking at him with a worried look on her face.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Ran into Silent a bit ago, so we had a wonderful conversation on what she's been looking into." Pyro said, laughing softly.
"Silent? Is that her name?" Sunset asked, blinking at him, sitting down again on the counter.
"Ah, no... only the Arch-Duchess knows her name, we just call her Silent, because she never speaks."
Sunset nodded slowly at this, chuckling a bit softly as she looked around the lab again. "So, is everyone here as cooky as you?" She then asked, looking back at him, laughing a bit softly as Pyro shrugged.
"I honestly don't know. The rest of the school does call us The Crazies..."
"So, the rest of the dorm should be like you then?" Fluttershy asked, as she slowly petted the goat. "Are all of you willing to sacrifice even yourselves in the pursuit of science?"
"Not Science." someone said from behind Pyro. "Knowledge. Not just science, but all knowledge. Mythical, Scientific, Social, Political, any sort of knowledge. Oh, name's James, but you can call me Tech Wiz."
"Yeah, the most sciencey of our little group claiming were doing everything." Pyro said, laughing a bit, as he patted the smaller person on the back. "
Sunset as she stretched a bit softly. After the fiasco with Pyro and Tech Wizard, she had decided to head over to the large library that the Arch-Duchess spoke of that they had, to read up a bit on the history of the school. She smiled a bit to herself, as she munched on the apple as she looked over the books on the shelf. "Wait... what?" She then said, blinking a bit as she stopped and looked at one of the books, a confused look on her face. "The complete history of... Equestria?" She repeated, running her free hand over the cover of the book. "That's... That's one of the books that went missing... Back in Canterlot..."
After the discovery of the book, Sunset tossed the apple, to hold the book in her hand, as she gathered multiple books from around the section of the library she was in. "The Complete history of Equestria, A Unicorn's guide to Black Magic, A History of Pegasi Wars..." Sunset said to herself, as she looked over the 35 books on the table before her. "Why are these books here? All of them... no, most of them should be in Equestria, not here..." She said, picking up a book labeled 'Final Days, by Starswirlled the Bearded' "And... most of them went missing before anyone I know was born, except maybe Celestia and Luna... So then, how did they get here..."
"Magic is a much older thing then many of you ponies can even fathom, Sunset Shimmer." Someone said from behind Sunset.
