As I was possessing the people, the girl walked into a room. I sigh and looked at the top of the door. the air duct was open. I stop possession and I blink into the air duct. I look at the girl as she goes and opens her backpack. A bunch of animals bursts out of her backpack. I smile as she talks to them. They go back into her backpack and she leaves. I start to crawl out of the air duct and I hear someone talking. I look around the corner to see a girl with red and yellow hair scolding the girl.
"You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you." I then hear the girl quietly say
"It... doesn't really belong to you either."
"Excuse me!" She bangs the locker. It doesn't attract attention as they thought they were the only two in the hallway. I growl a little. I then hear that same growling on the other side of the hallway. I look over and see a girl with Violet hair with a dog with green hair and purple fur.
"You're pathetic. It's no wonder all your best friends are animals." With that, she leaves.
"How dare you talk to her that way!" The girl with violet hair says.
"What did you say?" The red and yellow hair girl turns to her.
"I said, how dare you speak to her that way!" they get in each other's faces. I frown a bit. I clench my fist and it glows a bit. I activate shadow walk and I turn into a shadow. But since I had all my powers fully upgraded and all of my charms, it was far more powerful than if it was shadow walk alone. The girls hear me and turn around to see a shadow walking across the floor, but not the thing that the shadow was coming from.  The girl with violet hair backs up a bit, but not the orange and yellow-haired girl, She stood her ground. Once I get between the two girls. I end Shadow walk. It's like the shadow is getting up. A terrifying sight. The shadow simply oozes off of me and I open my eyes and look at the two girls. The violet-haired one thought I was the other girls' bodyguard. But she was proved wrong as I turn to the sunset haired girl and said.
"I agree with her." I jerk my thumb back the violet girl. "You don't have the right or privilege to talk to others like that." I cross my arms, and, assuming I'm friendly, the violet girl joins me. The girl with the sunset like hair smiles and tries to flick my nose and succeeds in flicking the girl's nose.
"You must be new here. I can talk to anybody, anyway, I want." She leaves and both the dog and I let off animalistic growls.
"I can't believe you two did that." The girl says.
"I couldn't just stand there. I don't know about him." She points to me.
"No, It's just... nobody ever stands up to Sunset Shimmer." I then think, "So that's her name?" I think that it was extremely familiar for some reason.
"Sunset shimmer?" She looks at the girl leaving.
"You've heard of her?"
"Sort of...." 
"I don't think I've seen you around before." She was looking at the ground. "Did you just transfer schools?"
"Um.... yes! Another school!"
"And what about you?" She asks me.
"Same... Crescent Heights." I say as if it was a throwaway comment.
"Oh... didn't they just have an earthquake and a fire?" She asks and the violet girl looks at me as if remembering something as well as looking sympathetic. I nod.
"Well, it was lucky that Lightningman person helped out those people. Who would have thought that he was a student himself." She looks down. I shrug.
"Anyway... my name is Twilight." The girl now labelled twilight says to us two.
"I'm... Fluttershy." She says in a quiet voice.
"Sorry... what was that?"
"She said her name was Fluttershy," I said. My hearing was enhanced because of my powers from the outsider.
"Oh ok." She smiles, just then, Fluttershy looks and notices the dog.
"Oh, my goodness." She hurries and trips twilight accidently. I use blink and get to where Twilight was going to trip and I stop her from falling.
"Um...Thanks.... how did you...." I shake my head as if to say, "Not now."
"Who is this sweet little guy?" Fluttershy asks completely oblivious.
"That's spike... my uh... dog."
"He's so cute!" She reaches down for her bag. I move closer to look in. I didn't see the animals surprisingly. Fluttershy grabbed a treat and help it out for Spike to take. He slowly takes a bite and widens his eyes, devouring it whole moments later.
"Oh. wouldn't you just give anything to know what they were really thinking?"
"Yeah, he usually just tells me," Twilight says.
"What do you mean by that?" I notice spike was motioning not to blow their cover with his paw. I raise an eyebrow underneath my hood, but spike doesn't notice I saw him. She turns back to him and he barks. and wags his tail.
"Oh.. uh... nothing." I had a very distinct feeling, I wasn't the only one that was hiding something. "But Sunset shimmer was talking to you about something that belonged to her. It wasn't a crown was it?"
"How did you know?" Fluttershy gets up and asks her.
"Uh.. lucky guess?" She then smiles "Do you still have it?" 
Fluttershy shakes her head.
"Well, do you know what happened to it?" I ask and Fluttershy nods her head.
"This morning, I was passing by the animal shelter. In fact, I was going to the statue outside the school to get volunteers for the animal shelter like every Wednesday. When suddenly it came out of nowhere and hit me on the head. I had no idea how it got there. But I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I decided to give it to principal Celestia."
"Principal Celestia?" She asks questioningly. "She's the ruler here?"
"You could say that. Her and Vice principal luna are the two who make the rules here at the school."
"Where is she now?"
"Probably in her office." With that Twilight runs off. Before she comes back I ask. "What's that about volunteers at the animal shelter?" Fluttershy lights up cheerfully and hands me a flyer. I put it in my bag with all my bone charms and runes, just in case another upgrade opens up and I need to get it.
"What are those?" She was trying to look inside.":
"Nothing!" I zip it up quickly.
"Oh. uh... sorry." Just then twilight comes back. 
"Third door on your left," Fluttershy tells Twilight.
"I'll see you later. I'm going to join her." I use my agility perk to run after her.
"Oh wait!" Fluttershy calls. I stop and grab Twilight. We both look back at her.
"Your not really supposed to have pets on school grounds. You might want to tuck him into your backpack." She whispers. "That's what I do." She turns around to show us her animals. I smile as they hop out. I chuckle.
"Alright. thanks." Twilight says and puts Spike in her backpack. Just then the bell rings
"Oh no. I'm late for class!" She scoops up her animals and runs to class. I smile and head to the office with her.
We enter the office. A long and awkward infodump later, we are heading out of the office.
"Well, if you need anything else. My door is always open." Celestia says as she closes her door.
"Well, At least you know what you need to do." I shrug and look at the schedule that I had asked the teacher for while we were in there. My next class was Math. I groan internally as the I look at Twilight. "I'll meet you in the cafeteria at lunch?" I ask.
"Um... Sure." She nods as I wave and leave for my class. I put my headphones back in and continue the playlist.

As I was walking towards math. I finally remembered the names that those girls had told each other.
"....(Beep.) I'm in the Equestria Girls universe." I think. I sigh and the bell rings. I start to look around for the class. But It was getting tough to navigate through the halls though. So I decided to use Blink. I clench my fist again and my hand glows a bit underneath my glove.  I suddenly disappear and reappear rapidly between people. Nobody seems to notice anything though. I finally see my class and blink in front of the door. I open it and look around. Nobody was inside yet. I smile and go sit in one of the dark corners. If I didn't move, nobody would have to notice me. And another good thing about wearing all black. You can barely see my headphones in my ears as I hid my phone and headphones underneath my shirt. I sat down and waited for a few minutes. Before the bell rang, a teacher walked in. She seemed nice. She looked around and didn't notice me. She sat down at her desk and looked through the attendance list. Her face turns to confusion about halfway down the list, however. Just then the bell rings and the rest of the class comes in. She snaps out of it and smiles at everyone.
"Hello, class."
"Hi. Ms. Cheerilee." Said the class.
"Um... I've been going through the attendance list and I saw a new student has joined us. Has anyone seen a Dek..." She was cut off as I suddenly blinked in front of her.
"My name is Xayvier," I said in a calm voice. She jumped a bit and looked at me in confusion.
"Um... Alright, Xayvier. Where did you come from?" To that, I point to the dark corner I was sitting in.
"I was here before you got into the class," I state calmly.
"O-oh. A-Alright." She nods. "Does anyone have any questions for Xayvier?" She looks around and chooses on a girl that I would immediately recognize no matter what reincarnation she is. Pinkie Pie.
"How did he do that? What's his real name? What's your favourite kind of cake?" She began to babble questions like this until I held up my hand to stop her.
"The only question I'll answer out of those is that my favourite flavour of cake is a chocolate and vanilla mix. My real name is not up for discussion, Nor what I'm able to do." With that I walked back to my seat with everyone baffled at my answers.
