Morning, Arctics room
Arctic heard a short but loud knock on his bedroom door, He groaned as he flipped off the door knowing who it was.
“Arctic you gotta get up it's time for your first day” Discord called out from the other side of the door while holding some clothes in his hands. But to his dismay the man heard nothing but a dead man groaning in annoyance.
“I'll let you take ghost” He added then waited.
There was a brief silence before Discord heard the boy curse silently as he got out of bed. With a smirk he opened the door and walked into the pitch black room, after a few seconds of feeling the wall Discord found the light switch and flipped it.
“Ah bloody hell!” Arctic screamed and covered his now burning eyes from the bright light. Discord rolled his eyes and placed his clothes on his bed.
“You burned my eye's Uncle what the hell!” Arctic continued and was hit in the face with a shirt.
“No cursing in this house young man understand; I'll let it slide this once but I don't want to hear it anymore.” Discord sternly said and Arctic hissed. “Alright so I grabbed some things for you to wear on your first day-”
“Whoa, Whoa, Whoa what do you mean picked out clothes for me I can pick out clothes for myself” Arctic interrupted, but Discord carried on.
“Because I want you to make a good impression, your mother told me last night that you were never really social with others. You know what they say, the clothes make the man and this will make you look like a gentlemen” Discord pointed out, he was not wrong Arctic had only the color black for his wardrobe maybe a few white and other colored shirt here and there but nothing else.
“I-I don't know Uncle, I'm not really the type to stand out a lot “ Arctic said looking at his new outfit. The yellow and black vest matched the black pants and dress pants perfectly and the white shirt button up made it complete.
“You never know until you try, c’mon then try it on I'll be waiting downstairs with breakfast” Discord said and walked out of the room. Arctic looked at the clothes in his hands and sighed, “Oh and, do you comb your hair it's quite… messy” Discord added popping his head in one more time before closing the door.
“Well… here goes nothing I guess” He muttered before beginning to dress himself.
Downstair in the kitchen
Arctics uncle Discord sat at the table wearing a black buttoned vest, black pants and a dark navy blue button up. He sipped his coffee slowly as to not burn his tongue and waited for his nephew to come down.
A plate of pancakes and banana slices sat on a plate next to a small bottle of syrup. The sounds of clicking footsteps came from the stairs and Discord quickly got excited yet kept his stoic face. He put his cup down and waited for Arctic to enter the kitchen.
“I do hope things go smoothly today… hopefully” Discord thought just as Arctic entered the kitchen. His outfit matched his uncles exactly except for the white shirt and yellow buttoned vest. It fit him perfectly, the vest hugged him and the pants don't sag neither the shirt, though he rolled them up half way up his forearm. His pitch black hair was combed to the side letting some of his bangs hang in front of him and barely touching his ear.
“Uh… Uncle, I don't know if this suits me” Arctic said slightly embarrassed, he never wore anything like this before. It was a bit awkward for him to wear it especially today. “Do I have to wear it?”
“Yes, besides you look like a dashing young man if your mother saw you, oh boy; I wouldn't be surprised if she thought you were a different person” Discord said. “Now come and eat, we don't have all day you know” He said and Arctic could smell the food waiting for him. He quickly went over and began chowing down.
After eating, the two made their way to the car and were now halfway to the school. Discord was more excited about Arctics first day than he was, in his mind Arctic was thinking hating this school already. It was just gonna be like the others he's been too.
“Alright we're here!” Discord announced as he drove in to a parking spot then cut the engine. “You ready to start your new life?”
“Sure, but what classes do I have?” Arctic asked as they got out the car and walked towards the school.
“We have to talk to Celestia about that situation, she runs this school with her younger sister Luna” Discord answered, they reached the front doors. He gave a small push and instantly Arctics heart began to race, the whole place was filled to the brim with students. From freshman to Senior, all shapes and sizes.
All Arctic felt was his heart beating, he didn't like big crowds of people it made him lose his breath and become on edge. Discord noticed his nephew's discomfort and looked at him with worry.
“Arctic, are you alright?” Discord asked snapping him out of his mini freak out.
“O-Oh… uh yeah, just uh… I'm not to good with crowds Uncle but I should be fine, just kinda took me by surprise Im sure I should be fine now” Arctic assured Discord.
“Alright, just let me know if it's to much ok; I don't want you to freak out again when I open the door” Discord said with worry. Arctic gave a few short breaths and nodded before his Uncle opened the door this time slower.
The kids that were walking around had lessin due to the half time bell ringing. Arctic gave a small sigh and the two walked in, that familiar smell of the school washed over the boy as the doors to the outside world had closed. On the sides had cases with trophies and pictures of either the teams that won the trophies and the principles next to the single student who won either a math, music, and arts competition.
The main colors of the main lobby was pearly white, gold, and royal blue. In all honesty the place looked better than all the other schools Arctic went to in England still didn't change his mind set when he again realized he had to deal with the same rules and the same thing every hour on the hour. The final bell rang and the few kids that had stayed out late groaned as they went to pick up a tardy paper.
“I gotta say this place is nice, hopefully it's not like those other schools back in England” Arctic said with a small snort. He remembers all the times he got in trouble for all the crap he did back their. “That gym probably still has pink paint all over it, who knew filling balloons with paint would work so well”
“Right, I'm sure your mother had… different words than those” Discord said with a snicker and made a chill go up Arctics spine. “Alright, enough idle chatting let's get to Tia’s office for your schedule”
Principal Celestia's office
The principal of this very school, Principal Celestia, was quietly working on her computer. Her height was at 5’11, her skin was soft peach and pink color, her hair held multiple colors such as green, blue, pink and purple. She wore a tan jumpsuit with a purple button up shirt underneath and finally she wore heels the same color as her suite.
Three knocks were heard on Celestia's door causing the woman stop typing and look toward the door.
“Come in” She called out straightening herself out, a few seconds passed and the door opened up. It revealed to the woman Arctic and Discord standing at the otherside. “Ah Superintendent Discord a pleasure to see you again, is this the nephew you talked about yesterday?” Principal Celestia asked Discord.
“Yes it is my dear Tia, his name is Arctic Night and Im well aware you know who his mother is?” Discord said with a small smirk.
“Wait, you mean-she and him-made-oh my lord” Celestia said her eyes a tad wider and her jaw hanging. She stared at Arctic for some time until Discord cleared his throat snapping her out of her trance. “You're Jinx’s child!”
“Did someone say Jinx?”
Everyone turned as they heard another voice come from a side door. Their stood a woman with pale blue skin, baby blue eyes, blue and purple hair that reached to her back, wearing a light purple shirt with a white color and a crescent moon clip holding it in place. And finally she had on long purple pants and white shoes to match.
“Ah Luna come I'd like you to meet my nephew, Arctic Night son of your dear friend Jinx” Discord said and Luna stared at Arctic, the boy shuffled slightly at the feeling of her gaze and tried to hide behind his hair but failed.
“I do see a resemblance though, she never had black hair or black eyes before… must have gotten it from his father I suppose other than that he looks like a boy version of Jinx” Vice-principal Luna said and walked over to Arctic with her hand out. “It's a pleasure to meet you Arctic, hopefully we will get to talk again soon though, lets hope its not because you got in trouble” Luna said as Arctic shook her hand.
“It was nice meeting you too” Arctic said and felt embarrassed for acting like a shy kid. After their handshake, Vice-principal Luna waved her sister and discord goodbye and carried on with her day.
“Alrighty then let's get you, your schedule” Celestia said and began typing away on her computer. Not even a few minutes later did the three heard the printer hum for a bit then stop with a slip of paper coming out.
Celestia grabbed the paper and looked it over, making sure that the ink didn't smear or faded the words. “Ok here is your school schedule Arctic, would you like one of our students to show you around the school?” Celestia offered.
Before Arctic could give an answer the door opened up behind them. “Uhm, I'm very sorry to interrupt principal Celestia I came to ask if can hang a flier for the animal shel-” A small shy voice cut off as everyone looked towards the voice.
“Ah! Fluttershy great timing, I was just asking our newest student if he wanted a tour of the school. Would you be so kind as to show him around?” Celestia asked the girl.
Arctic took notice of how she looked. The girls skin was butter yellow, her eyes shined ever so lightly a bright turquoise, her long ashy hair reached past her shoulders, it shined in the light and the bangs were held back by a blue buttershy pin. She wore a baby blue tank top with small pink butterflies in the middle, a yellow and orange red skirt with blue butterflies, and small white shoes with pink socks going up half her calf.
Arctic couldn't lie, he may have disliked a lot of people, but he found this Fluttershy girl slightly cute. But then again he thought about that with every girl in england so the thought flew past him.
“Ooh! Fluttershy my dear it's been too long how have you been?” Discord asked and brightened up the shy girls face a bit.
“Mr. Discord, I had no idea you would be here did you want to cancel tea with the principals later?” Fluttershy asked but Discord shook his head.
“Heavens no my dear, I came to have my nephew get his schedule; he starting today actually” Discord said and threw a light elbow to Arctics arm. The boy hissed slightly at the pain and rubbed his arm, he sighed and waved.
“Speaking of whom, Fluttershy I'd like you to be the student to meet him” He continued, but before he did he walked over to Fluttershy and bent down slightly. “But I have to warn you, he is not the type of person to befriend so easily so don't get hurt by what he says alright” Discord whispered and the girl nodded. “Great! Come now Arctic say hello to Fluttershy”
Arctic stayed silent for a bit making everyone in the room shift. Arctic didn't want to talk to someone he just met and he felt himself tense up and heart racing slightly trying to forcefully say ‘Hello’. Seeing the boy all tensed and struggling, Fluttershy nervously walked in front of him and held out her hand.
“Uhm, hello, Im sure you already know may name is fluttershy, it's nice to meet you Arctic” Fluttershy bravely said without stuttering like all the other times. Arctic looked her in the eye and then at her hand, he repeated for a bit then loosened up a bit and slowly grabbed her hand.
“Likewise” Arctic said with a shaly breath and gave her hand a small shake before quickly retracting is hand. “ I don't think I'll need a tour, I usually tend to find the classes on my own” Arctic said to Celestia and she looked towards Discord.
“Well… alright, but at least let Fluttershy take you to your class. She knows about these halls more than you do after all” Celestia said and Arctic gave a small groan before agreeing.
“Alright, I guess I should head off, Arctic be good and try to make some friends okay” Discord said and stared at Arctic. The boy just gave a thumbs up before holding out his hand. “What?... oh! Of course how could I forget she's just dying to being with you” He said and from his vest pocket he pulled out the little puff ball ghost.
“Oh my goodness she's so cute!” Fluttershy squealed excitedly and rushed over to see her. Ghost open its little eyes and gave a small yawn making a bigger smile come on Fluttershy's face.
“Oh she's so adorable, I've never seen a kitten so small before whats her name?!” She asked.
“Her name is ghost, that was the only name she liked and just looks like a ghost from cartoon” Arctic answered grabbing hold of the small thing. She purred as he held her in his hands, “Heh this is gonna take some getting used to”
“Pardon me mr. Arctic, but I'm sorry to say that, you can't have your pet or any animal on school grounds so that kids allergic to said animal would not get harmed, unless they are there to help you like a service dog” Celestia stated causing the smile on Arctics and Fluttershy’s face to drop.
“Whoops, so sorry Arctic must have slipped my mind… guess we gotta get you home ghost” Discord said taking ghost back in his hands.
“Great… whatever, lets go already” Arctic said with a bit of venom before walking out the room.
“I think you should go to ms. Shy, and thank you again” Celestia said and the shy girl nodded before leaving the room to catch up to Arctic. Celestia sighed heavily and leaned in the back of her chair, Discord gave a small chuckle as he closed the door. “Heh are sure thats not jinx in a boy costume?"
“No I made sure, oh before I go I should warn you. He's a bit to much of his mother, remember how she hated being around people?” Discord asked the woman and she nodded. “Well, she told me that he has never really made any friends back in England and would outcast himself from the other students. He has ‘Major’ trust issues as Jinx's said, the only person he trust's his herself and his sister"
“So what your saying is, he's a bit… on edge at the moment?” Celestia ask unsure if she was right, but with a simple nod she was. “Please tell me he doesn't have her temper”
“Define temper” Discord said and made the older woman groan. “It's gonna be alright celestia, if I know anyone that can crack his shell even just a little bit. It's the girl following him to class right now” Discord assured Celestia.
“I hope you're right Discord, but I have to ask... how's Night doing?” Celestia asked and was met with silence. “I see, another time then I suppose”
“I'll see you later Tia, please don't forget the cookies this time... and, he's doing fine” Discord said, his voice choked a little before he walked out the room with ghost in hand.
