The Lost Shimmering Sun

Chapter 17: Meeting Crystal Prep

At the other stables:

Sun is happily sleeping with Moon Blast and Moon Blast is sleeping as well.

Just then 7 students are coming into the stables. They 5 of them are in their riding clothes along with the same S symbol on the jacket as to the stables. The 7 students are; Trenderhoof, Fleur De Lis, Jet Set and his girlfriend Upper Crust, Suri Polomare, Royal Pin, and Neon Light

"I'm telling you, Moon Blast is going to win this year, after all Crystal Prep always wins," Trenderhoof says.

"Of course we do," Suri agrees with pride.

"And those 5 students from Canterlot High doesn't have a chance against us," Fleur says with pride.

After that conversation. The 5 contestants are getting their horses out of their stalls.

Just then Fleur notices something strange about one of the stalls, "Uh guys, there's someone in there with Moon Blast."

"What?" Jet Set asks confused and adjusting his glasses.

"That's crazy, who can possibly be in there with Moon Blast?" Royal Pin replies completely surprised.

"Well, why don't come here and see for yourself," Fleur says showing them the inside of the stall. When the others look inside the stall they gasp to see Sun and Moon Blast sleeping together in her stall. Since they never met Sun before, they have no idea who she is and where she came from.

"Oh my!" Suri replies surprisingly.

"Oh dear!" Upper Crusts adds with the same reaction.

After a few minutes of looking at them they start to wonder about Sun's presence in the stables.

"Who is she?" Jet Set asks curiously.

"Where did she come from ?" Royal Pin asks confused.

"And why is she sleeping on Moon Blast?" Neon asks.

Trenderhoof decides to ignore their question and focus on his horse. Just then Trenderhoof decides to go into his horse's stall to see if she is alright. As he is coming in the horse wakes up from her nap and is happy to see her owner.

"Hey girl, I see someone's in there with you," Trenderhoof says while patting her head.

Moon Blast replies with a neigh and then use her nose to rub itself on Sun's head to relax her and making she she is rested.

"I think Moon Blast made a friend," Fleur says quietly to Suri and giggles happily.

Suri then looks at Sun again and notice the type of jacket she is wearing. She says, "Hey I seen this jacket."

"What jacket?" Upper Crust ask confused.

"This one is a CHS jacket," Suri answers.

"You mean she goes to Canterlot High?" Jet Set asks concern.

"Yep," Suri answers.

"Well this is Crystal Prep Stables, so we should get her to leave before our principal comes," Upper Crust says a little rudely.

"I know, but she and Moon Blast seems so comfortable, I would hate to wake her up," Trenderhoof replies sadly and will feel bad for having to wake her up.

"Wake who up?" A woman's firm and yet british like voice comes up.

The students turn to see their principal Abacus Cinch and their Dean of Education Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadence. Everyone at Crystal Prep knows that Abacus Cinch is a strict, determine, and a one track minded principal when it comes to Crystal Prep's reputation, so it wouldn't be surprised about them feeling a little nervous about seeing her.

"Uh, hi Principal Cinch. Hi Dean Cadence," Royal Pin says nervously.

"Hi kids. So what are you doing here?" Cadence asks with a smile.

"And why aren't you all at the fields practicing?" Cinch asks firmly.

"We were going to, but someone is sleeping on Trenderhoof's horse, Moon Blast," Suri answers.

"Someone is sleeping on Moon Blast?" Cinch asks sounding confused.

Then Cadence asks with the same confused look on her face, "Who?"

"We don't know, all we know she's a Canterlot High student," Fleur answers.

"And a pretty one at that," Neon adds with a smile.

"Neon!" Fleur yells angrily at him. Some of the students from Crystal Prep knows that Neon Light can sometimes have a special eye for pretty girls even though they go to different schools or towns.

"Sorry," Neon says sounding sheepish.

"A Canterlot High student you say," Cinch says curiously and using her hand to scratch her chin.

"Yeah and she is sleeping peacefully with Moon Blast, I don't feel right waking her up," Trenderhoof says still inside the stall.

Just then Principal Cinch and Dean Cadence decide to have a look at Sun and they can see her sleeping peacefully on the horse.

When Dean Cadence gets a closer look at Sun, she gasps with a big shock on her face and looks very scared as well, "I know that girl!"

"You do?" Cinch asks rather confused by Cadence's reaction.

Cadence calms herself down and decides to tell Principal Cinch about what she know about Sun, "Yes. She was on the news a few months ago."

Cinch eyes widen remembering something she saw on the news. She says, "You mean about a mysterious girl ended up with amnesia and is currently going to Canterlot High."

"Yes," Cadence answers calmly

"And I also heard she is living with that ignoramus of a science teacher," Cinch answers, and Cadence can tell that she is a little upset.

"You mean Discord?" Cadence asks.

"Yes. Though I still can't imagine a girl like her is living in that household with him and his wild daughter," Cinch answers angrily and curious about Sun being in Discord's house.

"You're not still upset about what happen last year?" Cadence asks in concern.

"Not really, but it took days to clean all that green slime that he spread in the school," Cinch answers with a stern look on her face.

"And yet he called that the smooze and he made it, not to mention it was alive," Cadence adds.

The students are a little confused about their guest, then they remember they saw that incident on the news as well.

Suri decides to ask the principal and the dean about her. "Um... Principal Cinch, is she really the girl that the news was talking about?"

Abacus and Cadence turn to see the other students and they are staring at them with curiosity. Cinch firmly answers, "Yes, she is."

"But, she's seems so nice, even Moon Blast seems to think so too," Trenderhoof replies worried.

"Hard to believe she been through something like that," Royal Pin adds.

"I heard that girl was the only survivor of a fire and receive scratches from jumping out of a window," Jet Set says remember one of the rumors she heard.

"I heard she was being held and was used for an experiment and was able to escape," Upper Crust adds after hearing another rumor that she heard.

"Well I heard she's an alien from outer space," Neon adds.

"Aliens! Really!," Fleur replies in anger to Neon idea, which she find is preposterous. Fleur reaction startles Neon a bit and he holds his hands out in protest.

Some of the students ignore that scene and pay attention to Sun still sleeping in the stall, and they wonder what they should do with her, since they figure she came here with someone else for the competition.

"But, what should we do with her?" Suri asks in concern.

"Don't worry I got it, luckily my Aunt Celestia and Luna are going to be here today, so I can give them a call," Cadence replies as she is getting her cellphone from her purse.

"See that you do," Cinch replies.

"Okay," Cadence says. After getting her phone out of her bag she decides to Call Celestia and Luna about their student being in a different stall.

At the CHS Stables:

The are still waiting to see if the security guards had any results yet. The girls, Discord, Celestia, and Luna also tried to look for her, but didn't have any luck at all and had no idea where else to look.

"This is hopeless," Rainbow Dash says feeling like she's going to give up.

"Now don't be so negative Rainbow Dash," Applejack replies a little angry at Rainbow.

"But we don't know where else to look!" Rainbow says yelling at Applejack.

Just then Celestia's cell phone starts ringing in her purse, with that she brings out her phone and picks it up to see who is calling.

"Hello," Celestia says.

Then when she hears how calling she can tell Cadence is calling her. She says, "Hi Cadence, how are you doing?"

Cadence starts to explain about Sun is sleeping at the Crystal Prep stalls. This news makes Celestia's eyes widen and says, "Really."

Then Cadence asks if they were searching her her. "Yes in fact we were just searching for her," Celestia replies with concern.

Then she says that she is alright but also said that Principal Cinch is also with her along with 7 of the students, "I see," Celestia calmly says.

After that Cadence ask her if she can go pick her up because the contestants need to practice for the competition. Then she says, "Right we'll be there shortly," with that she hangs up her phone and don't know wether to be surprised or shocked.

"What did Cadence want?" Luna asks curiously.

"She told me that Sun is sleeping in the Crystal Prep's stables with one of the competitor's horses," Celestia explains.

"What!?" Everyone replies with a shock.

"Still think we shouldn't have search there, Rainbow Dash," Applejack says a little angry.

"Okay, okay, I get it," Rainbow replies annoyed to her. It's like Applejack is giving her the 'I told you' comment.

Celestia can see that there's going to be an argument going on between the two friends. Right now she thinks it will be a good idea not to have a fight and decides to go see if Sun's okay. She says, "Now's not the time to argue, we need to make sure Sun is okay."

"Okay," The girls replies agreeing to the kind of matter.

With that The girls, Discord, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are making their way to Crystal Prep horse stall to get Sun back.

At the Crystal Prep Stables:

Sun is still sleeping on the horse, while Principal Cinch, Dean Cadence, and the students are waiting with her and are wonder when they should wake her up or not.

Just then Suri asks, "So… what should we do now?"

"Yeah we need to practice," Fleur answers

"But not all of us can go, because his horse can't move," Neon replies looking at the horse and Sun sleeping on her.

At that point some of them are getting a little impatient, until Cadence sees Celestia and the others heading to the stall, "Look there they are."

The girls comes to take a look at the stale that Sun is in.

Rarity says, "Aw she is so cute." Then Rarity brings out her cell phone to take a picture of Sun and the horse.

"Rarity what are you doing?" Rainbow asks with annoyance.

"Sorry darling, but I just had to take a picture of this," Rarity replies.

With that Principal Celestia comes to see the inside of the stall. When she looks inside, she can see that Sun is sleeping peacefully on the white mare. As much as she hate to disturb her, Celestia knows that she needs to wake up so they can bring her back with them. So she puts her hand on Sun's shoulder and shakes her a little and with a smile on her face she calmly says, "Sun, Sun, it's time to wake up."

After hearing Celestia's voice, Sun starts to wake up from her nap. She starts to stretch her arms and then starts to rub her eyes. After that she opens her eyes seeing her dad, sister, and her friends, with other people she never met before.

"Hey there sugarcube," Applejack greets to Sun.

"Hi girls, what are you doing here?" Sun asks still feeling tired and after she yawns.

"What are we doing here? What are you doing at Crystal Prep's horse stables," Rainbow Dash screams and yells, after hearing that.

"Crystal Prep?" Sun says confused.

"Well duh," Pinkie replies happily.

"Well I got lost and when I saw this stables, I thought I would find someone so I can ask for help. When I got there, no one was here, and Moon Blast was kind enough for me to stay for a little while and I fell asleep," Sun explains as she is getting up.

Hering that, Principal Cinch and the students simply stares at her because somehow she knows her name. They also wonder why Moon Blast seems so nice to her, Trenderhoof knows that his horse doesn't take too much a liking to strangers or anyone she thinks is consider threatening.

"How did you know her name?" Trenderhoof asks surprisingly.

"She told me," Sun answers while petting her on the head.

This made things more confusing now

"Moon Blast told you," Cinch says a little surprised by that fact.

"Yes," Sun replies.

"You know sometimes I wonder if Sun can understand what horses are saying," Rainbow whispers to Applejack.

"Neigh," Moon Blast replies.

"I think Moon Blast is ready to get some exercise," Sun says.

Applejack turns to Rainbow Dash and says, "Seems like a yes to me."

"And with her napping and you on her, I think she will need just that," Trenderhoof replies.

Then he says, "By the way my name is Trenderhoof from Crystal Prep Academy."

Sun wave her hand and says, "It's nice to see you my name is Sun,"

"Well we did kind of know your name, but it's nice to be properly introduced," Trenderhoof says happily and calmly.

That's when Principal Cinch, Dean Cadence and the other students come over to Sun to see her and introduce themselves.

"Yes I suppose it is good introduce ourselves since she is new. My name is Abacus Cinch principal of Crystal Prep Academy," Principal firmly says.

"I'm Dean Mi Amore Cadenza, but you can call me Dean Cadence," Cadence replies with a smile.

"I'm Jet Set and this is my girlfriend Upper Crust," Jet says introducing himself and his girlfriend, and Upper Crust waves her hand in response.

"I'm Suri Polomare," Suri says.

"Neon Light," Neon replies.

"Royal Pin," Royal Pin says.

"My name is Fleur De Lis," Fleur replies.

"It's nice you meet you all and I'm guessing you're competing as well," Sun replies happily.

"Well, Me, Jet Set, Suri, Fleur, and Royal Pin are competing," Trenderhoof replies.

"Yes and as much we like to talk some more, we need to get practicing for the competition tomorrow," Fleur replies.

"Okay," Sun answers.

With that the students gather their horses and starts to make their way to the field to get some practice and exercise for their horses.

The Principal Cinch walks up to Sun and says, "Still it's rather surprising that a girl like you is staying with Discord and Screwball."

"I don't see a problem with it. They are very fun and very kind to me," Sun replies happily. Which doesn't seem to have an effect on Cinch.

"Still it's best you be careful, you wouldn't want their influence to rub off on you, " Cinch replies firmly.

Then she and Dean Candece make their leave to the fields as well, leaving Sun and her company to simply stare at her.

This make Discord and Screwball really mad at her for saying that. They want to say something, but Celestia and Luna stop them before they have a chance to think about it. With that they both calm down decide to let it slide, even if they didn't want to.

With that the others make their way to the CHS stables and hopefully to put this problem behind them.
