Burst stirred as he woke from his bed. His alarm clock was blaring, so that could mean only one thing. It was Monday. And the start of his first day of high school. 'Well I guess I should get up.', he thought to himself as he got out of bed and got ready for the day. Once he was dressed, Burst went down to eat breakfast. "Morning Mom." His mom, Lumina Burst smiled as her son came downstairs.
"Good morning Burst! Are you excited for your first day?", she asked. Burst shrugged.
"I guess. I just hope I don't fall flat on my face.", Burst said with a small smile. Lumina smiled as she kissed Burst on the forehead.
"You'll do fine. I hope you don't mind, but I'll be dropping you off this morning. I know it might sound a little embarassing, but you're still my baby in my eyes." Burst sighed and hugged his mom.
"It's fine.", he said with a small smile. After he was done with breakfast, Burst got in the car with his mom and was soon dropped off at CHS. 'Well...here goes nothing!', Burst thought to himself. His mom smiled as she looked at her son.
"You know, you're so much like your father.", she said as he eyes teared up slightly. Burst then frowned.
"Mom? Why did Dad leave?", he asked. Lumina sighed.
"It was because things just...weren't working out between us. But Burst, that doesn't mean he never loved you.", she said.
"So that's why I've only seen him for a week out of every month?", Burst asked. "Well, at least he hasn't forgotten about us."
'Aether...you'd be so proud of Burst. If only you could see him right now....', Lumina thought with a sad smile as Burst got out of the car and began to start the next four years of his life. After Burst was inside, a new kid was dropped off.
"Thanks for the ride Dad!", Inferno said as he got out of his dad's car. Ash Blaze chuckled.
"No problem Inferno. Hope your first day goes well! Who knows? You might even meet your dream girl here!"
"Maybe! Gotta go!", Inferno said as he dashed inside CHS. However as they left, a girl walked OUT of the statue at the front of CHS!
"AH!", Sunset screamed as she looked at her new body. "Well this world sure isn't Equestria." She then looked at CHS. "Maybe I can get some answers here..."
