Chapter 30: Getting Ready for School

After their time during summer vacation, it about two weeks before they have to start their new school year. After having their sleep over, Sun and the girls are talking about the stuff they do during their spare time. Of course, since school is coming around the corner, they've been talking about the kind of classes they have and how they can help each other out, especially Rainbow Dash.

Right now, it's a round 6 am in the morning and Sun is fast asleep in her bed. Just then, Sun starts to feel something fuzzy and warm on her. She then starts to hear something or someone calling her.

The voice says, "Wakey, wakey."

Sun opens her eyes a little still feeling sleepy, she tiredly asks, "What's going on?"

Just then a cheerful familiar voice says, "Good morning."

Sun opens her eyes wide and surprisingly says, "Huh!"

When Sun opens her eyes, she can see a big, white, stuffed sheep. The doll moves to the side to see Screwball is holding it with a big smile on her face.

Sun smiles seeing her sister and says, "Morning Screwball."

"Don't forget about Fluffy, sis," Screwball clarifies with a smile.

"And… good morning to you too Fluffy," Sun says.

Sun sits up so she can stretch her arms and back. After she finishs stretching, Sun looks at her clock to see it's about 6:30 in the morning.

Sun says, "You know Screwball, we don't have to be at the school until noon."

"I know, but I want you to play with me until then," Screwball replies happily.

"It figures," Sun says as she roll her eyes.

Sun can see that Screwball is doing her pleading eyes and hugging her toy sheep, know that she really wants to play with her. After staring at them for a few minutes, Sun decides to play with her sister until it's time for them to leave to get their school schedule.

Sun says, "Okay sis, I'll play with you, but we need to get dress and eat breakfast first,"

"Okay," Screwball says happily.

With that, Screwball leaves so she can get dress and go help her dad with breakfast, even though it is too early. After Sun and her sister get dressed, they play some videogames until it's time for breakfast, which is some blueberry pancakes. After eating their breakfast, they make sure they have their things ready so they can go back to school shopping after going to get their schedules from the school.

Right now, Sun and Screwball are playing a kart racing game. Screwball has also been teaching Sun how to play videogames and other games that are new to her. They are having a good time playing together and glad they have each other to keep company.

AS they play, Sun smiles and says, "I never knew kart races are fun."

"I know, especially when I'm in the lead," Screwballs says determined to win the game.

"No for long," Sun says.

Screwball and Sun play with the race wanting to win. After the home stretch in the game, Sun wins by a hair.

"I win," Sun says.

Screwball isn't the type to lose a game so easily, but glad her sister is having fun. After their race is finish, Discord comes down stairs ready to get going with their day.

"Girls it's time to go," Discord replies.

"Okay," Sun and Screwball says.

With that, they put their game and the system away, so they get get going. After they do that, the family of three go into the car and heading to school to get their things.

AS they drive to school, Screwball turns to Sun and asks, "So sis, what kind of teacher we'll get,"

"I don't know, it's up to the school to decide which student goes with which teacher. We'll just have to wait and a see," Sun answers, unsure of the teachers she might be getting.

After around fifteen minutes of driving they reach Canterlot High. Sun and Screwball are kind of excited because they get to see their friends their who are going to the same school. After they finish filling out some papers, getting their i.d cards, and other stuff, Miss. Cheerilee pass them the folder that has their things inside.

Miss. Cheerilee says, "Here are your schedules for this semester."

"Thank you Miss. Cheerilee," Sun says.

"Thanks," Screwball replies.

After they receive their schedule they decide to share the kind of classes they have. Discord and Screwball are a little surprised that Sun is being put in advance classes for her age, and she's a sophomore right now. In some cases CHS is kind of a combination of a middle School and a High School. Sun is kind of glad of the classes she is taking. She has:

Period 1: Literature/Writing: Crankee Doodle: Rm159

Period 2: Pre-calculus: Math Table: Rm201

Period 3: Chemistry: Chemical Reaction: Rm 227

Period 4: Culinary Arts: Granny Smith: Cafeteria

Period 5: Equestria History 2: Matilda: Rm 230

Period 6: Physical Education: Bronze Dumbbell: Gym

Screwball looks at Sun and says, "Looks like you have hard classes this year. Are you sure you're going to handle it?

"Maybe so, but I can handle it," Sun replies.

Sun doesn't really mind taking these kinds of classes. She knows as much that she's not only smart, but a fast learner too.

As they leave to go grab a snack from one of the tables, they hear a familiar, cheerfully voice happily screaming, "Hey Sun! Screwball! Over here!"

Sun, Discord, and Screwball, turns to where the voices are coming from and can see their friends along with their parents at a table. They decide to walk over to them to say hi and to see what class everyone has.

Sun happily says, "Hi girls,"

"Hey guys, got your schedules?!" Pinkie asks cheerfully.

"We sure did," Screwball answers with a smile.

Then Screwball asks, "Did you?"

"I sure did," Pinkie answers happily.

"We all did, Pinkie," Rainbow says.

Then Screwball happily says, "Great! Now, let's look to see who we got for teachers and classes."

"Sounds good to me," Applejack says.

With that, the ten girls decide to take a look at each other's schedule. Turns out some of them have the same kind of class while some of them in the same class room. As screwball and her friends are look at their schedule they are surprised and happy that all four of them will be in one class together.

Screwball happily says, Yay! All four of us are in the same science class."

"It will a piece of cake with you Screwball," Scootaloo says.

"And fun as well," Sweetie Belle says with a smile.

Sun and her friends are looking at each other classes. When the read the schedules, turns out Sun and Applejack are in the same culinary class. She also has the same math class as Fluttershy. Rainbow and Pinkie in english, and Fluttershy and Applejack the same science class. However, Rainbow notice that Sun is taking classes that are more advanced for her age.

Rainbow says, "Man, you're taking a lot classes that are for eggheads."

"I am not an egghead. I'm just intelligent," Sun says in protest.

"Egghead," Rainbow whispers to Pinkie and Applejack.

The girls hear Rainbow Dash whispering to Pinkie and Applejack. Sun isn't like the nickname Rainbow is giving her and wants to tell her something.

Rarity goes to Rainbow with a serious face and says, "Now Rainbow, you know Sun is very intelligent in fact I heard she has a 4.0 GPA, last semester."

"I don't think that counts," Sun says while blushing.

"Why?" Fluttershy asks.

"Because I haven't gone to the school that long," Sun answers shrugging her shoulders.

"True, but everybody has been talking about your intelligence. At this point you're practically the smartest student in school," Rarity says.

"I wouldn't go that fair," Sun says to Rarity.

ThenRartiy looks at Fluttershy and says to the others,"You know, I'm surprised that Fluttershy is taking a higher class than the rest of us."

"I see you got veterinary science. And you got the same math class as me," Sun says looking at her schedule.

Then Rainbow Dash looks at Sun's schedule and says,"Yes and I can see You and Applejack are going to do culinary too."

"Actually I signed up to be the teacher's assistant for my granny," Applejack clarifies.

"That's interesting, guess that means you're going to teach me how to cook," Sun says with a smile.

"You could say that," Sun replies.

Then Pinkie cuts in and happily says, "And I'm going to be in the class too. I make amazing cake."

"Didn't you took culinary last year?" Applejack asks.

"I know. I just love to cook, especially baking. But now I'm going to be with Sun and Applejack for the class. This is gonna be so much fun!" Pinkie says with a cheerful smile.

The girls and other start to laugh about Pinkie cheerfulness. They are glad to have a fun girls in their group of friends.

Rainbow laughs as she says, "That so like you Pinkie,"

"You're always so chipper no matter what," Rarity says still giggle a bit.

"Yep! Right now, I need to get going, we have to get our school stull." Pinkie says with glee.

She then runs off to be with her sister and her parents. After they're gone the girls stare at her with a smile and glad she is her cheerful self.

"Typical Pinkie," Sun replies happily.

As thing are going good a boy's voice calls out, "Hey Fluttershy!"

They all turn to see a boy, who has green skin, blond hair in a bun and a five o'clock shadow on his chin. He is wearing blue jeans, with light orange feathers on his belt, a black shirt, and brown shoes. Sun is curious to know who is this boy, but Fluttershy and the girls are wishing Sun isn't going to meet him anytime soon.

The boy hugs Fluttershy and says, "How is my big sister doing?"

"Fine Zephyr," Fluttershy answers feeling a bit squished.

The boy, calls Zephyr, goes to Rainbow Dash and says, "And how are you doing Zephyr?"

"Fine, "Rainbow answers looking annoyed.

Sun has no idea what is going on, but when she is hearing that boy calls Zephyr is actually Fluttershy's brother, but from the looks of it he's around a year younger than her.

Sun asks, "Girls, who is he?"

Fluttershy sighs and says, "Sun this is my brother Zephyr Breeze. Zephyr this is my friend Sun?"

Zephyr goes to Sun with a smile on his face and says, "So you're the girl Fluttershy's been talking about. It nice to finally met you. I must says you have some amazing hair represent the flames of fire."

He then starts to make a hairstyle with Sun's hair. Sun has no idea what is going on, but it seems Zephyr is doing something with her hair. When he finishes it, he made Sun's hair into a bun similar to his.

Sun says, "It, uh, very nice to meet you."

Fluttershy interrupts and asks, "Have you gotten your schedule yet?"

"Sure did sis, and I'm going to be in fashion class," Zephyr answers.

Then he says, "Also, mom and dad said it's time for us to go. You know to go out to lunch and get school supplies,"

Fluttershy nods her head and says, "Okay. I'll meet you there."

Before Zephyr leaves, he says, Okay sis, I'll meet you around. It good to see you and..."

He then gets to Rainbow Dash and smoothly says, "It's good to see you too, Rainbow."

"Yeah. you too," Rainbow says with annoyance.

"I must be off. And it's very nice to meet you Sun," Zephyr replies.

Then he leaves to meet his parents at the car. After he is gone, Fluttershy sighs looking a bit annoyed and Rainbow looks completely annoyed. However, Sun feels a bit uncomfortable when Zephyr gets too close to get.

She turns to Rainbow and Fluttershy and asks, "Are you two okay? You both seem to be annoyed by him."

"You could say that," Rainbow says with an annoyed look.

During the time, the girls has tell her about Zephyr and he can be a bit annoying and a bit of a charmer. After sometime taking they all leave the school with their families so they can start school shopping, but know the teacher will give them other stuff they need for their classes.

After finishing with their shopping, Sun and her family are at home having some spaghetti and tomato sauce, with sharp cheddar cheese or parmesan for cheese topping. Sun is feeling like something weird about meet Fluttershy's brother, she is surprised that Zephyr is very different from her.

Sun thoughts has been interrupted with her father asks, "Sun, are you feeling alright? You look distracted by something."

"I'm fine," sun answers calmly.

Then she asks, "But dad, can sibling be so different from each other that they don't act related?"

"They can be sibling even when they don't look or act related. Why?" Discord replies.

Screwball has a suspicion on what Sun is talking about.

She turns to her sister and asks, "Does this have something to do with you meeting Zephyr?"

Sun nods her head answering the question. Discord is kind of understanding what her question is about. Fluttershy and Zephyr has a different personality.

Discord turns to Sun and says, "I kind of understand, but even if they are different they can still be relate. Like you and Screwball. Even though you are adopted and you and your sister have different interest, you both are still sisters."

Sun starts to understand, even though siblings act different they can be part of a family. Even if Sun is adopted, she can still get along with Screwball. One thing she learn is that even though sibling are different they can still love each other as a family. After she finsih dinner and later at the night, Sun is dressed in pajamas and checks on the journal she still has. So far, no one written back, but then again, she doesn't know what the journal is or where she has it from. After that, she puts the journal to bed and get to bed for the night. As she sleep, she still thinks about the journal and her mysterious memories.
