Crystalling College: Rainbow Dash Edition

by StarryCandy


Familiar [Starlight]

Starlight stared at her schedule for her next class. Swimming. She groaned. Not that she hated swimming class, it's that the teacher had to look on to her every move so she doesn't slip up. She felt so concentrated that she didn't notice someone about to bump into her.

Unfortunately, they clashed, Starlight's schedule and the student's book dropped to the ground. Others were staring as the two apologized and picked up their belongings. Starlight caught a glimpse of the kid who bumped into her. Glasses. Orange hair. All too familiar. So familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"Sorry once again." The boy apologized again before walking off and everyone went to mind their own business. Starlight began to ponder. His voice was all too familiar as well.

Starlight stared at her lunch, spaced out. She was earning looks from Sunset, Twilight, Dash, and Fluttershy, whom she was sitting with for lunch. Her friends were clearly concerned.

"Are you all right, Starlight?" Sunset asked, worried. "You look spaced out."

"Calculating problems. Analysis conducted." Twilight said, sounding like a robot. She started studying one of the many books she has piled next to her food.

"Calm down, Twi, you sound like a cyborg." Dash remarked, munching on her lunch. Fluttershy looked on with concern written all over her face.

"Well, this doesn't involve analysis or science," Starlight pushed Twilight's book down, earning pouts from her, and continued. "I'm trying to recall a familiar person. I bumped into him this morning when I was going to Swimming class. He was far too familiar for me to brush it off."

"Well, I have the perfect solution to your problem!" Starlight turned to her right to see Pinkie staring at her with a huge grin plastered on her face. "I found this yearbook thing while rummaging through the library!" She exclaimed while holding a thick book in front of her. "It's holographic, so it was really light to carry." She shoved it onto Starlight's lap.

Starlight reluctantly opened the book. A blue screen came out of its pages. The screen showed many students enrolled at the school, like Daisy, Derpy, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Starlight went to the male section and swiped across the screen until she came across the boy she ran into this morning. His name: Sunburst.
