Chapter 31: A New School Year

During the two weeks, Discord has been taking Sun and Screwball to stores in the mall to get supplies and new clothes for school. They make sure to get everything that they need and since Discord is a teacher at the school, he need to make sure he has all his material for the school year.

On a Tuesday morning, today is the day of the new school year and everyone is getting ready. That also include Sun who is up and early so she can make sure she has her things ready for school.

Sunset of the things she needs in her backpack as she says, "Notebooks, flashcards, binder, pencil bag with pencils, pens, erasers, highlights, wallet with money and school I.D card cell phone, laptop, and… that's a bout it."

After getting all the things she needs, she zip her backpack close and has everything she needs for her first day of school. Sun is still in her pajamas and knows she needs to start getting dress, fix her hair, brush her teeth, and have breakfast. But first, she needs to wake up her sister and father.

As she is going to wake them up, Screwball comes out of her bedroom, still wearing her pajamas, knowing Sun will be up right now.

Screwball smiles and says, "Good morning sis."

"Morning Screwball," Sun replies happily.

"So are you going to wake up dad?" Screwball asks.

Sun nods her head replying yes.

Then Screwball says, "Well, you can't just wake up dad you got to get him up with some food for the first day of school."

Sun looks at Screwball with a confused look and say, "And what does dad like to eat?"

"He loves to eat his chaos special in the morning," Screwball says with a smile

"His what?" Sun questionably replies.

After not know what a chaos special is, Screwball and Sun goes downstairs to the kitchen so Screwball can teach Son how to make their dad's breakfast.

"So mind telling me what a chaos special?" Sun asks.

Screwball answers, "The chaos special is when daddy gets really hungry for occasions like the first day of the school semester. He has three buttermilk pancakes, three eggs, and three bacon strips, and they're stacked together, with syrup, butter, and whip cream on top. He also has it with chocolate milk for a drink, and a side of two toasts."

Sun is surprised that her and Screwball's dad would have a big breakfast to start her day, but if that will help their wants is what their dad gets. With some time and effort, Screwball eaches Sun how to make the pancakes, eggs, and Screwball handle the bacon. After finishing with the food Screwball stacks them up putting a pancake first and then put the egg and bacon stip on it and then put the pancake on it, and continue on.

After finishing making their dad's breakfast and their pancakes, almost on cue, their dad comes to the kitchen who is in his pajamas still a little sleepy.

Screwball turns to face her dad and says, "Morning dad, sis and I made you breakfast."

Discord yawn and says, "Thanks girls, I can use something to eat right now."

With that Discord starts to eat his breakfast that the girls make for him. Sun is still a bit surprised that he is able to eat that much food.

Sun whispers to Screwball, "Dad sure is hungry."

"You can say that again. Let's eat and then we can get ready." Screwball replies happily.

With that, Screwball goes to the table so she can get something to eat.

Sun smiles and says, "Sure."

After Sun and her family finish eating breakfast, get dressed, and have their supplies ready, they leave the house so they can go to Canterlot High School to start the new year. After arriving at the school, Discord goes to the classroom where he works, while Sun and Screwball goes to the classroom so they can start their new year.

Sun arrive at her first period class where she will be learning about lecture/writing. As she is trying to find a seat, she sees two familiar faces sitting between an empty seat. She remember the two girls being Pinkie's sisters, Maud Pie and Limestone Pie.

"Good morning," Maud says.

"Oh hi. You're Maud and Limestone, right," Sun replies with a smile.

"Yes I am. It's nice to see you and that were going to be in the same class," Maud answers not change her emotions.

"Yeah. So gaze into the eye of Limestone Pie," Limestone says as she gets close to Sun and staring at her in the eye.

Sun isn't sure what is going on so she says, "Um… sure."

Just as this conversation is getting uncomfortable for Sun, Maud simply get between them while facing her sister. Without changing her expression on her face.

Maud says, "Limestone, father told you to be nice to others, especially since she's friend with our sister."

"Yes Maud," Limestone replies then she sits down on her desk.

Maud face towards Sun and says, "I'm sorry Sun, that's just Limestone's way of saying hello."

"Sure," Sun says in reply.

Maud decides to sit on her desk and Sun does the same. After taking her seat, Sun takes out her binder with her notebook and her pencil bag. Sun wants to be prepared even though it's the first day of the new school year, so the classes will just get things set up. Sun looks around to see the students and some of them are new to her while some look familiar. She even see Trixie and one of her friends Lavender in the classroom.

Just then Crankee Doodle walks into the classroom with some packets and other sheets of paper.

As he close the door and go to his chair, he says, "Alright students, it's time to take your seats and start the first period of the new year."

Hearing and seeing their teacher coming into the classroom, the students takes their seats and bring out their school supplies so they can begin their class. During their time at School, Sun have some interesting and fun classes. She's also glad that some of her friends are in the same class as her.

After the four periods of classes come and gone, Sun and her friends are in the cafeteria having lunch. The girls are talking about how their day is going and what stuff they did on the rest of their vacation.

"So how are your classes?" Applejack asks.

"They're interesting. I think my fashion class is going to exquisique. And Granny Smith is very well prepared for the year," Sun answers.

"Yeah. And lots of the apples are from Sweet Apple Acres," Applejack says with pride.

Sun smiles and says, "Thanks for the heads up."

Just then Pinkie pops up between Sun and Applejack and says, "So Sun, Maud and Limestone told me you're in the same english class."

"Yeah. Though…" Sun starts to reply, but isn't sure how to tell Pinkie about.

Pinkie questionably says, "What?"

Sun unsurely answers, "It's just… you sister Limestone kind of scared me a bit."

Pinkie sighs and says, "Yeah. Maud told me she give you the eye. Even though it's her way of saying hello, but she ends up scaring people sometimes,"

"Don't worry, Maud was able to get her to stop," Sun says letting Pinkie know everthing is okay.

"That's good," Pinkie cheerfully answers.

Rainbow asks, "Sun have you been experiencing some memory again?"

"Kind of," Sun answers still thinking about her memories.

"Kind of?" Rainbow says looking confused.

Sun isn't sure about telling them about what she recall in her memoirs, but she thinks her friends does have the right to know about it. The problem is that her memories can act a little strange and she is starting on not understand what her dreams mean. Sun decides to explains the dream she has last night and hope they won't think it's weird.

Sun turns to her friends and explains, "Well, last night I had a strange dream last night. I was in this room along with a small potted tree. Just then I somehow use magic to cause the tree to spread across the room. The tree also broke some of the walls and window. There were a group of people or something in the room where it happen and they're impressed."

After hearing Sun's story, the girls are not sure what to make of it. In a way her dream seems pretty interesting and amazing.

Rainbow Dash says, "That's cool."

"And a bit strange," Rarity replies looking confused.

"Do you know what your dreams means?" Fluttershy asks.

Sun shrugs her shoulders and answers, "I have no idea."

Sun and her friends are still having trouble understanding her dreams. Some of them are about people who might be family and some are about an event that happens before Sun is with the. Now some of her dreams are getting confused about her being a hardworking girl who always into reading and studying,

Just then Pinkie asks, "By the way, did this journel of yours has um… reply back yet."

"No. I still don't get why I had a dream about it being like a text message on a cellphone," Sun answers still confused about the strange journel.

"That would be interesting," Fluttershy replies.

Then Sun sadly says, "But there are still a lot of stuff I don't remember. I don't even remember my real name."

Her friends understand why Sun is being a bit down. Even though she is regaining some of her memories, she's still having trouble putting them together. However, even though she has some of her memories and keep track of them, she never been able to remember or original name or what kind of person she used to be.

Rarity calmly says, "Don't worry darling, your memory will come when it comes."

"Yeah. And even if you do or do not get your memory back, you still our friend," Rainbow says.

Sun smiles happily and says, "Thanks guys."

Just then Fluttershy check the clock on her phone and says, "We better get going. Lunch is almost over."

"Right," Applejack says agreeing to the idea.

With that, the girls finish whatever they still have on their plates or lunch bags, and go to their next class. Before they leave to their class, Pinkie says they she would like them to come to Sugarcube Corner with her after school. They nod their head agreeing to the idea and say they will meet her at the front of the school.

After school:

Sun and her friends are at Sugarcube Corner. Excluding Pinkie, the girls are having their drinks and snack they have bought. Pinkie is busy helping making the drinks and work at the cash register. As the girls sit having their food, they are talking about their interest and other stuff.

Rainbow holds up her drink as she happily says, "I gotta admit Sugarcube Corner sure have some of the best shakes."

"You can say that again," Applejack replies.

The girls are glad the they get to hang out other and love to come to the cafe to have some fun together. Sun start to notice that someone isn't here today.

She turns to her friends and asks, "Where's Mrs. Cake?"

"She has a doctor appointment so Pinkie is helping Mr. Cake," Fluttershy answers.

"How come?" Sun asks.

Rainbow Dash and the other girls look at each other with confused looks on their faces and realized that Sun doesn't know about it yet.

Rarity looks at Sun and says, "Oh, I guess you didn't know."

"Know what?" Sun questionably asks.

Before the girls can say anything, Pinkie comes out of nowhere and loudly says, "Mr. and Mrs. Cake are going to be parents!"

Sun gets surprised and scared as she says, "Ah! You scared me!"

"Sorry, but I really want to tell you," Pinkie replies.

"Yeah, but try not to surprise or scare me okay," Sun says still feeling a bit jumpy.

Pinkie smiles and says, "Okay."

With that Pinkie leaves the table so she can continue working. The girls are still kind spooked from Pinkie's sudden appearance. Sun been wanting to understand Pinkie for sometime, but her friends want her to save her breath and sanity.

Sun turns to the girls and says, "So what Pinkie is saying, Mr. and Mrs. Cake are going to have a baby."

"That's right," Rainbow answers.

Sun smiles as she hears the news and says, "They must be very happy."

"They're definitely are. In fact, they already getting the nursery ready the first time they found out," Applejack explains.

"Yes, being first time parents isn't easy, but it will worth it to see a little baby smiles," Rarity adds.

Sun laughs a little and says, "And knowing Pinkie Pie, she's going to have a lot of fun watching the baby."

Just then Sun has just thought of something and asks, "By the way, do they know if the baby's a boy or a girl?"

"From what I heard, they might be expecting twins,"Rainbow Dash answers.

"Twins?" Sun questionably replies.

"She right," Pinkie says out of nowhere, standing behind them.

Sun and the others turn to see Pinkie Pie at their table again. They still wonder how she is able to get on their conversation while she's working.

Pinkie happily adds, "Two new babies to play with. That will be two times the fun."

"We know, but remember Pinkie babies are a huge responsibility," Applejack says.

"Yes, they need to be watched at all times," Rarity adds.

"And make sure there aren't anything on the ground so the baby won't swallow it," Fluttershy advise.

"I know. I babysit a lot," Pinkie says with glee.

Sun whispers to Fluttershy and says, "And I bet she loves it."

Fluttershy tries not to laugh after hearing that statement. Sun is happy about hearing the news, it's almost like Pinkie is having more siblings in her family.

After a good first day of school with her friends and family, having pizza for dinner and watching a movie, Sun is a little tired. Sun is in her room with her pajamas on and is ready for bed. After their conversation about babies and sibling, Sun sometime wonder if she has brothers and or sister in her past life.

As they talking about sibling, Sun thinks to herself, "I wonder if I have any brothers and sisters. From my last dream, I feel like I did have some sibling, but are still around.

Sun simply sighs and says, "Guess I'll never know… or someday I will."

After that thought in her mind, Sun gets under the covers and turns off the lights so she can get to sleep. After some time, Sun is fast asleep and she is starting to have a dream.

In the dream, There are the ponies she see from her previous dreams. She see them in a hospital and they are walking into a room.

The little filly with the fire like hair comes up to where her mother is and happily says, "Mommy, is my new brother or sister's here."

Mare simply smile and show the filly a baby filly that has light yellow fur and light blue mane.

The mare happily says, "Sweetie, this is your new baby sister,"

"Aww, she is so cute. Yay! I have a baby sister," The filly happily says.

The stallion laugh a little and says, "I know you're excited, but remember that babies need some quiet when they're sleeping."

The young filly nod her head in reply, but she is so excited that she has a little sister now.

The filly asks, "Mommy can I hold her?"

"Of course you can," The mare happily replies.

The teen mare puts the young filly on the bed so it will be easy for her to hold the baby. The mare hands the baby to the filly and the filly happily holds her new sister. The mare helps the filly hold the baby properly so the baby can be comfortable. As the filly hold the baby, the baby make a little noises and yawns with a smile. The filly is very happy that she gets to hold her little sister.

The filly says as she looks at the baby, "Hi. I'm your big sister and I'm going to teach you many things. You're going to have the best big sister."

The rest of the family in the room laugh and start to giggle that the filly wants to be a great big sister. Even though having babies can be a hand full. After the dream, Sun simply smile, maybe in her thought she knows she has a family somewhere. But she'll always love the family she has now.
