Sunset Shimmer watched with concern and alarm as a bizarre scene unfolded by the snack machine at CHS. "The Great and Powerful Trixie was here first, Fluttershy, and the last choco-caramel crackle crunch bar is rightfully—" Fluttershy seized Trixie by the front of her hoodie and shook her, angry blue-green eyes burning. "The Having A Very Bad Day FLUTTERSHY NEEDS that chocolate a LOT more than you do right now," she snarled dangerously. Trixie's irises shrank to pinpricks within wide, terrified eyes. "O-okay," she said shakily. Nerveless fingers offered up a wrapped candy bar, which Fluttershy seized in a furious swipe reminiscent of an eagle snatching up a fish from a river. "Thank you very much," Fluttershy hissed before depositing a few coins in Trixie's hand and stomping away. Trixie trembled violently as she numbly put the coins in the machine and bought a pack of animal crackers. Sunset stared at the retreating Fluttershy. "What...?!" Rainbow Dash walked up, bouncing a soccer ball on her knee. "Hey Sunset!" she greeted. "'Sup?" Sunset shook her head and looked at Rainbow. "Uhh...hey Rainbow Dash," she said. "Have...have you noticed something off about Fluttershy today?" Rainbow shrugged. "Haven't really seen her," she said. "She blew off chem lab, said she needed to go to the nurse's office." She frowned. "Maybe she's on her period? I mean, sometimes she can get a little..." She gestured vaguely with her hands. Sunset shook her head. "No, this wasn't..." She frowned. "I mean, yeah, she can get a little snippy, but she just shook Trixie down for a candy bar like...well...me!" Rainbow blinked. "Whoa, seriously?" She stopped bouncing her ball and put a hand to her chin. "Hmm." She shook her head. "As far as I know, there's only one thing that can get Fluttershy that mad, but...it couldn't be..." "We'll ask her at lunch," Sunset said as the bell rang. * * * * * When lunchtime arrived, Sunset and her friends found a very sullen, moody Fluttershy picking angrily at her tray. Rather than her usual healthy selections, it was loaded with the junkiest of junk food the cafeteria provided. "Fluttershy?" Sunset opened softly. "Is something wrong?" "Yeah, sugarcube, you've kinda been buggin' out all over th' place all day," Applejack said. Fluttershy looked up, then around the table at her friends. "It's..." She sighed. "I guess I have been a little...peeved since last night," she admitted. Sunset raised an eyebrow. "What you did to Trixie this morning was way more than peeved," she said. Fluttershy winced. "Oh my. I...I should apologize to her," she said. She shook her head. "I'm not myself at all today, am I?" "Nope!" Pinkie supplied cheerfully. Then, with a gentle, reassuring smile, she added, "Wanna talk about it?" Fluttershy pushed a chili-covered tater tot around her plate with a fork. "It's...well..." She let out a sigh that Sunset swore deflated her breasts by a full cup size. "My dipshit brother got kicked out of another boarding school," Fluttershy said at last. Rainbow's eyes contracted to pinpricks, a look of sheer alarm and revulsion on her face. "Oh crap," she said in a soft, scared tone. "Brother?" Sunset asked. "I didn't know you even had a brother." "I didn't either, darling," Rarity said, frowning. "You've never mentioned him." Fluttershy's eyes narrowed. "Gee, I wonder why," she said testily. "Oh! Oh! Is it because he's obnoxious, self-centered, egotistical, rude, annoying, lazy, and a total douchebag?" Pinkie suggested with a wide grin. Fluttershy glared at her. "Yes," she said. "Yes he is." Sunset blinked. "Wow. Your older brother sounds like a jerk." "Younger brother," Fluttershy corrected. "A year and a half younger." "Oh." Sunset frowned. "So why was he going to boarding school instead of CHS?" "Because nobody can stand him," Rainbow said with a shudder. "Every week, all through junior high, Mom and Dad were in the guidance counselor's office having meetings about Zephyr Breeze," Fluttershy said. "Doesn't apply himself. Skips classes. Sleeps in class. Whines and complains. Tries to con other people into doing his schoolwork. Behaves inappropriately toward his female classmates." She pushed her tray away and laid her head on her arms. "It just went on and on and on and ON until finally I convinced Mom and Dad to send him to boarding school." "Ouch." "Oh, but it didn't end there!" Fluttershy ranted. "He's been kicked out of five different boarding schools in the last three years!" She stood up suddenly and started gesticulating wildly as her voice rose in volume. "They send him to an all-boys' school and he goes out of his way to fail every single class until they get sick of him and send him home. They send him to a co-ed school and he gets kicked out because of sexual harassment complaints! They even sent him to a religious school! You know what happened THAT time? He ran away because they tried to beat the demons out of him! Don't even ask me how he managed to get home! It was clear on the other side of the country!" She was practically screaming now. "And now he's been kicked out again, and Mom and Dad have run out of schools to send him to that they can actually afford, and they don't have a choice but to send him to school HERE, with US, and I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIS BULLSHIT!" Her chest heaved violently. The entire cafeteria had fallen silent, and everyone was staring at Fluttershy, jaws dropped. "Wow," Sunset said finally. "Been holding that in much?" Fluttershy blinked, looked around the cafeteria, and paled. She quickly sat down, shrinking into herself, and let her hair fall into her face. She cleared her throat delicately. "Yes," she whispered. "Have they thought about sending him to military school?" Sunset asked curiously. Fluttershy shook her head. "They're too soft to do that," she said. "And even if they did, he'd find a way to get dishonorably discharged. Or court-martialed." Her brow furrowed. "Or shot." "Uhh...Ah don't think they actually do that at military school," Applejack pointed out. "They would if it was Zeph," Rainbow said. A pall fell over the table. A few minutes later, Principal Celestia wandered over to them. "Girls," she said softly but sternly, "I just heard there was a disturbance in here from this general vicinity?" Fluttershy ducked her head. "I'm sorry, Principal Celestia," she said. "I was yelling." Celestia blinked. "You? You were yelling?" Fluttershy nodded miserably. "What time is detention? I don't want to be late." Celestia stared at her dumbfoundedly. "Umm...no detention. I just...I was concerned, actually. I thought..." She shook her head. "Nevermind. Is...is something wrong?" "She's upset that her brother is coming to school here," Sunset said. "Ah, right, I spoke to your parents earlier today," Celestia nodded. "I'm looking forward to having a student who can introduce so many ideas gleaned from an extended tour of the country's boarding schools—" Fluttershy snorted. "That's the line they fed you?" she asked sourly. Celestia paused, frowning. "I beg your pardon?" "You might want to start passing out pepper spray to all the girls here," Fluttershy said. "Just send my parents the bill." Celestia gaped at her, face wavering between confusion and mild alarm. "Umm...I get the feeling you don't like your brother very much..." "Well, do you like a persistent yeast infection?" Fluttershy retorted. Celestia blinked. "I'm...just gonna go back to my office now," she said. She walked away, shooting Fluttershy worried glances over her shoulder. The other girls, minus Rainbow Dash, all stared at Fluttershy in shock, awe, and fear. "Did...did I just step into an alternate dimension where Fluttershy is as much of a bitch as I used to be?" Sunset asked. "Nope," Rainbow said tonelessly as she eyed Fluttershy with a bored expression. "This is totally normal Fluttershy behavior whenever Zeph comes home." "I've got a bad feeling about this," Pinkie Pie whimpered. * * * * * The next afternoon, the girls met up at Sugar Cube Corner after school. Fluttershy's attitude had not significantly improved, and the new, "improved" Fluttershy was sending ripples of alarm and unrest through the school. Her change in wardrobe hadn't helped. Instead of her usual green and white attire that spoke of spring and freshness and gardens and sweetness, she'd shown up at school wearing black jeans, heavy black boots, a black crop top, and a black bat hair ornament, along with much heavier eyeshadow than normal. More than a few people liked her new look, but with her surly attitude, she was decidedly unapproachable. "Maybe we could have a sleepover at my place tonight?" Pinkie suggested as they sat with their drinks and treats. "I mean, I kinda get the feeling being away from home would be really good for you right now." Fluttershy sighed. "I don't really want to drag you girls down into my pit of despair," she said. "Is he really all that bad, though?" Twilight asked. "I mean—" "Ladies, please! It ain't no cheese! Who wants some Breeze between the knees?" Every head in the place turned to the doors, which had just been thrown open by a lanky teen. He had pale aqua skin and light blonde hair which was gathered up in a loose, messy topknot-bun from which an almost waist-long ponytail spilled. A dark shadow of stubble covered his long, narrow jaw. He wore checkered pants, alligator shoes, a yellow T-shirt with a feather-and-wind emblem in the center, and a quilted red sleeveless vest which matched the jaunty red fedora, two sizes too small, which sat atop his head, tilted at an angle; a peacock feather was tucked into the lemon yellow hatband. Sunset's jaw dropped. "Oh. My. God." Rainbow groaned and dragged one hand slowly down her face. "Wow, he's even worse than I remembered," she said. "Whut'n th' hell is that?" Applejack asked flatly. Fluttershy looked around the table. "Girls, meet Zephyr Breeze." Rarity stared. "That...THAT is your brother?" "Yep." "Gaaaaaaah." Twilight took her glasses off and cleaned them, then put them back on and stared. "Oh my gosh, it didn't go away," she said numbly. "Wow, he dresses like a total idiot," Pinkie Pie said. "He is a total idiot," Rainbow said, eyes half-lidded. "He-HEY, big sis!" Zephyr Breeze called as he ambled over to their table. His gaze swept over the girls. "Whoa, who are all your totally hot friends? Besides Rainbows, I mean. Her and me go way back, ain't that right Rainbows?" "Go suck a tailpipe," Rainbow muttered. "Aww, you don't gotta play coy, Rainbows," Zephyr said. "I know you love me. But there's enough Breeze to go around, girls!" He offered the rest of the girls a big, cheesy grin. His eyes landed on Sunset, and he affected a staggering step back, putting a hand to his heart. "Yow!" he yelped. "What. A. BABE! You never told me you were friends with a bikini model, Flutterbutter!" "You know, from anyone else, that'd almost be a compliment," Sunset said dryly. "Oh, and hey! Check out this chick," Zephyr said, turning his attention to Twilight. "Diggin' the smokin' hot nerd girl look. Sexay!" Twilight recoiled, her eyes wide and her cheeks red. "Umm..." Fluttershy held a hand up in front of Zephyr's face. "Stop right there," she said. "I won't have you bothering my friends with your lame come-ons and jackass horndog bullshit." Zephyr Breeze brushed Fluttershy's hand aside. "Hey now, don't taze me, no-bra!" he said teasingly. "This Breeze blows wherever...and whoever...he pleases." "Alright, that's it," Applejack said, standing up. She wrapped an arm around Zephyr's neck and bodily dragged him out of Sugar Cube Corner. She wrested open the door, pushed him through it, then booted him in the ass. "AND STAY OUT!" Everybody inside cheered. Applejack simply raised one fist in a victory salute as she walked back to the table. Sunset raised an eyebrow. "Well that was...direct." "That was also a mistake," Fluttershy said. "I know you meant well, Applejack, but you just made it worse." Applejack blinked dazedly. "How's that now?" Rainbow groaned and rolled her eyes. "I used to kick him in the nuts at least once a week," she said. "Every time I did, he got even more annoying." Applejack's eyes contracted to pinpricks. "Oh horseapples." "Do I really look like a bikini model?" Sunset asked. "Kinda, yeah," Rainbow said. "You do have the body for it, darling," Rarity said. "Honestly? You look more like one of those slutty dancers from those old hair metal videos," Pinkie said. Sunset stared at her. "Slutty...?" "She's not wrong," Twilight said, blushing. "I mean, I can see you dressed in skimpy leather and sashaying through showers of sparks..." Everyone stared at her. Twilight ducked her head. "Umm...nevermind..." * * * * * ShimmyToTheLeft has joined the chat. IAmTheHer: Good afternoon, the Shimmy! You are here earlier than the usual. ShimmyToTheLeft: Yeah...had a weird day. -_- GreenDudeYo: Yo, what happened mama? ShimmyToTheLeft: Remember that dipshit from the other day? Ran into somebody even worse IRL. ~.~ GreenDudeYo: Whoa, seriously? LeaveMeAlone: Ugh. IAmTheHer: Did he...the fondle you? ShimmyToTheLeft: Only with his eyes. If he tried touching me I'd rip his fucking head off. GreenDudeYo: Yikes. IAmTheHer: Hopefully it is someone you will never the see again. ShimmyToTheLeft: I wish. One of my BFFs, he's her younger brother. He got kicked out of boarding school & now he's going to school with us. GreenDudeYo: Oh snap. LeaveMeAlone: That sucks. Booyah!: So how bad is this dude? What did he do? ShimmyToTheLeft: It wasn't so much what he did as just, well...he's slimy. Like, he's made of sexual harassment. If he was less of a douchebag I might've been flattered by what he said. IAmTheHer: Which was...? ShimmyToTheLeft: ... GreenDudeYo: Oh come on, mama! You can't just leave us hangin'! LeaveMeAlone: Even I'm curious now. ShimmyToTheLeft: He called me a bikini model. LeaveMeAlone: ... GreenDudeYo: ...WHOO! IAmTheHer: That does not seem so the bad. Booyah!: Okay THAT makes me curious. ShimmyToTheLeft: Not sharing pics for you to perv on. :P GreenDudeYo: Awww! Come on, mama! LeaveMeAlone: Boys are idiots. -_- ShimmyToTheLeft: Hmm... ShimmyToTheLeft: ... :3 GreenDudeYo: ? ShimmyToTheLeft: 33C-24-33 :P GreenDudeYo: O.O Booyah!: ...UNF! LeaveMeAlone: Whoa. IAmTheHer: The whoa. LeaveMeAlone: Can't believe you just told us, just like that. CircusBoy has joined the chat. CircusBoy: Goooooood afternoon everyone! GreenDudeYo: Dude, you missed it! CircusBoy: Missed what? GreenDudeYo: Shimmy just told us her measurements! H_H ShimmyToTheLeft: Nobody tell CircusBoy. :P ShimmyToTheLeft: What he gets for not being here. CircusBoy: ... LeaveMeAlone: Heh. IAmTheHer: It is going to be the lonely night for our male friends. ShimmyToTheLeft: :3 ShimmyToTheLeft: Telling you pervs my measurements was worth it for the stress relief. ShimmyToTheLeft: Now that I gotta go to school with that total douchebag. CircusBoy: Wait what douchebag? IAmTheHer: One of Shimmy's friends has a brother who is the bag of the douche. GreenDudeYo: And she's got mad tits so he's pervin' on her hard yo. ShimmyToTheLeft: ... ShimmyToTheLeft: Starting to regret that now -.- GreenDudeYo: Sorry, my bad. GreenDudeYo: It's just, there are like zero hot chicks where I am. LeaveMeAlone: Way to be judgmental there, Dude. IAmTheHer: Yes. A woman's worth is not in her body, the Dude. GreenDudeYo: No, I mean there are ZERO chicks here period. GreenDudeYo: I uhh...I never mention this GreenDudeYo: I'm kind of in the service GreenDudeYo: Only dudes in this company :( CircusBoy: ...whoa seriously? ShimmyToTheLeft: You're in the Army? GreenDudeYo: Marines, yo! Doin' it for college $$. IAmTheHer: Oh, I see! That is why you are the GREEN Dude. GreenDudeYo: Speakin' of which, gotta go. KP. Later! GreenDudeYo has left the chat. Booyah!: Anybody else got any big secrets they wanna share? IAmTheHer: I am the gay. CircusBoy: Seriously!? ;_; IAmTheHer: J/K ;) LeaveMeAlone: Haha she trolled you. ShimmyToTheLeft: You guys are almost as crazy as my IRL friends. :D * * * * * Later that evening, Sunset was taking a long, soothing bubble bath and listening to her favorite soft music station on the bathroom radio when her phone rang. Drying her hand off with a towel, she picked it up and glanced at the screen. "Fluttershy," she mused. "Must be calling to vent about her dickwad brother." She tapped the screen to answer. "Hey Fluttershy, what's up?" The voice that answered was not Fluttershy. "Hey sweet thang! What's shakin' bacon? Other than yo' fine body." Sunset scowled. "What the...why are you..." She narrowed her eyes. "Did you steal your sister's phone?" "Well how else was I gonna get all her hot friends' numbers?" Zephyr Breeze answered. "It's not like she's gonna just give 'em to me if I ask, right?" "Gee, I wonder why," Sunset said. "I'm hanging up now. Give Fluttershy back her phone. I'm going to punch you in the face next time I see you." She disconnected the call and dropped her phone back in the little basket next to the tub, letting out a disgusted groan. A few seconds later, a new text message chime sounded. Hesitantly, she picked up her phone again and opened it. There was a picture. It was something she never, ever wanted to see. "AAAAAARGH!" * * * * * The next morning, Fluttershy stood before a group of irate friends, wringing her hands. "Girls, I am so, so sorry," she said. "He...he got my phone while I was taking a shower. I didn't notice until I was brushing out Angel Bunny before bed!" "That pervert texted us all a picture of his...his business!" Rarity complained. "Yeah, I coulda gone my whole life without ever seein' that," Rainbow said. "Well, I told him if he ever touches anything in my room ever again I'm cutting it off," Fluttershy said. Rarity wordlessly pulled a pair of fabric shears from her handbag and offered them to Fluttershy. "I think kindergarten safety scissors will do the job," Sunset said. "Oooh, BURN!" Pinkie giggled. Sobering up, she said, "Yeah, Zephyr's a creep, but what can we do? I mean, he's still Fluttershy's brother." The girls looked around at each other, then sighed. "Yeah..." Sunset said. "I guess the best thing we can do is try to make him stop being a complete douchebag." "Good luck with that," Fluttershy muttered. "He even stares at my boobs when he thinks he can get away with it." Applejack's face twisted into a nauseated scowl. "Now that jes' ain't right." Pinkie shrugged. "Eh, doesn't surprise me. I mean, Fluttershy's got really nice boobs." "But she's his sister!" Twilight protested. "If Shining Armor was staring at my..." She ducked her head and turned slightly green. "Eww, I didn't need to think about that." "So where is El Douchebaggo?" Sunset asked. "Being shown around the school by Scootaloo," Fluttershy said. The girls looked at each other. "Well, that shouldn't be a problem," Rainbow said. "Yes, she should probably be safe," Rarity agreed. Twilight blinked. "Wait, Scootaloo's a girl? I thought Scootaloo was a boy!" "Ouch," Pinkie said, wincing. * * * * * Scootaloo had had better mornings at CHS. In fact, given the present situation, she'd prefer being duct-taped to a urinal in the boys' restroom again. Instead, she'd been given the "special privilege" of escorting a walking, talking urinal around the school. "Well, here we are," Scootaloo said with the tone of someone who had been on Death Row so long the electric chair was the most beautiful thing they'd ever seen, "first period history." "Ugh, history first thing in the morning? Man, this sucks," Zephyr Breeze complained. As they entered the classroom, he looked around and let out an irritating whining noise. "Man, where's all the hot chicks?" Silver Spoon, who sat nearest the door, looked up at him in irritation. "Excuse you," she said. "As much as I hate to agree with Silver Spoon about anything," Scootaloo muttered, "she's right. You're super annoying." "Hey, no need for drama, bro!" Zephyr said, holding up his hands placatingly. "Look, these chicks here? All yours, man. I'm after bigger game, ya dig?" He made a 'cupping breasts' gesture with his hands for emphasis. Silver Spoon rolled her eyes and snorted. "Pig," she muttered. Then she paused, blinked, and let out a snotty giggle. "He thinks you're a boy!" Scootaloo groaned and facepalmed. "First of all, I'm a girl," she said. Zephyr looked her up and down, then laughed the fake laugh of someone pretending to be polite. "Yeah, you almost got me there, brah. Nice one." "EXCUSE ME, young man," the teacher, Ms. Harshwhinny, said sternly as she stomped up to Zephyr Breeze, her roll sheet in hand. "I don't know who you think you are or where you think you are, but this is my history class, and..." She frowned. "Who exactly are you, anyway?" Zephyr rolled his eyes. "Man, don't nobody know nothin' around this place? I'm Zephyr Breeze, ya dig? Zephyr. Breeeeeeeeeze." "He's a new transfer student," Scootaloo said. Ms. Harshwhinny frowned. "Ah, yes. Principal Celestia told me to expect you." Her nostrils flared. "Just so you know, I do not tolerate any foolishness in this classroom. If you step one toe out of line, it's detention. Are we clear?" "Yeah yeah," Zephyr grumbled sourly. "I didn't quite catch that," Ms. Harshwhinny bit off impatiently. "Yes ma'am," Zephyr said. Ms. Harshwhinny nodded. "Very well. You can take that empty desk in the middle, next to Sweetie Belle." As Zephyr headed for the indicated desk, Ms. Harshwhinny called out, "And Mr. Breeze? CHS has a fairly liberal dress code, but just as a word of advice, you might want to consider toning it down a notch. Dress more appropriately." Zephyr groaned. "Man, this bites. Tryin' to stifle me already." Ms. Harshwhinny frowned and made a mark next to Zephyr's name on her roll sheet. * * * * * Once the tardy bell rang, Principal Celestia returned to her office, where the soothing mercy of hot coffee and fresh donuts awaited. As she took her first delicious sip, Vice Principal Luna walked in. "So I hear Fluttershy's brother is starting here today," Luna said. Celestia winced. "Please," she said. "Not until I've had at least one whole donut and a full cup." Luna raised an eyebrow. "You sound like me right now," she said. "You're not usually like this until after school." Celestia peered at her over the rim of her coffee cup. "I take it you haven't met Zephyr Breeze yet." Wordlessly, she picked up a folder from her desk and handed it to Luna. "Is this his file? You mentioned he just returned from boarding..." She trailed off as she read the first page of Zephyr Breeze's file. "...school..." She sat down, paging through the file wordlessly, her lips pressed into a thin line. "This is Fluttershy's brother?!" "So they tell me," Celestia said. She sighed. "I try not to be judgmental of my students. Even though I suspected Sunset Shimmer was a dangerous and disruptive element, I forced myself to think of her as simply another young mind to mold. I try, sometimes very hard, to see nothing but the good in all my students." She paused to take a large bite of a donut. "This kid? Between you and me, the very first thought I had when he walked into my office was 'oh God he's a douchebag.'" Luna snorted. "That's no surprise, going by this file." She sighed. "And we're stuck with him, aren't we?" "I'm afraid so..." Celestia slumped morosely against her desk. "Now I know why Fluttershy's been acting strange lately. If even half the stuff in that file is true, I don't think he'll make it a week here without being lynched..."
