It wasn't too far of a flight between my house and Canterlot City High, a much newer school than the Great Depression era ES, what with being built in the early 80s, and the architecture and design still, even after several decades, screamed 1980s. Some spots even had more glass than wall on the inside.
"This is it," I said, letting Nightshine down as I landed, "You and I will be SO much happier here, I just know it."
As I walked down the halls, I saw a pale woman with multi-colored, waving hair, angelic wings, and what may have been an aura surrounding her. She was wearing a sky-blue dress that was cut to her hips at the left and right, each cut having a Sun charm at the top, with a sun-charm at the chest that kept said dress together, two Sun-gold bracelets and armlets, and I swear she smelled so pleasant it made my throat burn for ten seconds.
"I'm Principal Celestia. I take it you are Midnight?"
"Yes," I replied, "And this is Nightshine. We're vampires."
"Well, I'm an Earthen Angel."
"Wait, when you told me that your sister was a vampire, I assumed that you'd be one, too."
"Oh, heavens no," she explained, waiving a hand dismissively, "But it is something that nobody could figure out when we were born. Nevertheless," she continued, "We still love each other the same. Would you like to meet Luna?"
"Sure."
"Right this way."
She led me to an office that was rather dark, similar to the way I painted my bedroom: midnight colors and black. On a small table, there was an open laptop, obviously one for a damn-good gamer.
"Luna," Principal Celestia said, "I would like you to meet Midnight Fang."
She looked up, eyes turning from opal to crimson as she unfurled her wings, "I'm sure my sister has told you about us?"
"Yes."
There sat a blue vampire with midnight hair, emanating an aura that was a near polar opposite of the one from Principal Celestia. She was dressed in a plain black shirt, blue-jean pants, and blue-and-black converses not unlike mine.
"You are only one hundred forty-three, correct?"
"Yeah. I had a witchdoctor stop my ageing at eighteen-and-a-half."
"Well my sister and I are both somewhere in our seventy-five hundreds. A blessing was used for her at thirty-one, but I had a witchdoctor stop my ageing at around twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
"Oh, and I'd like to introduce you to Nightshine," I said as he sat down.
Vice-Principal Luna took a good look at him, "I remember having a pet thestral when half of the country thought the communists were coming. She had amber eyes, a tangerine coat, and red-orange and red striped mane and tail."
"That's neat. Have you ever considered getting another?" I sat next to Nightshine and hugged him.
"I may get another in the summer, probably a mare. Amber Fang was, well she was amazing."
I nodded my head in understanding as someone knocked on the door, "Come in."
"Luna, I needed to let you know that-" he noticed me, "Oh, I didn't realize you had a student in here."
"Oh, Midnight starts Monday. He's just here to meet a few people and get a feel for the campus," she looked at me, "Midnight, this is Professor Discord. He heads the anatomy department."
"Nice to meet you," he said, holding out a lion's paw, "I look forward to seeing you in my class."
"As long as there isn't gonna be any holy water, or Vampire Mace as I call it," I replied, shaking his paw
"Oh, of course not."
"As you know, I'm Seth and this is my thestral, Nightshine," he went over to Nightshine with the same hospitality, "Also, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you?"
"Don't worry, I get that question more times then there are eggs in an ovary. I'm a draconequus. And I don't know if Luna told you, but Celestia, her, Chrysalis, she's the physics teacher, and myself all grew up together."
"Oh," I said, "Back to you, Luna. Do you race? Because if you do, I have a 1987 Škoda 130 LR if you want to go to the racing strip.
"I have a 1999 Honda Civic," she said, smiling, "This afternoon, you're on."
"Chrissy and I'll bring the popcorn, then."
"And Nightshine, you get to ride in a rear-engine sports car with me going like a maniac."
"Do you think 'Tia's going to come?" Discord asked.
"Maybe, if I get her at the right time."
