//------------------------------// // New School, New Life // Story: Equestria Girls GT // by luckyboys121 //------------------------------// Pan sat up in her bed, too excited for the day to start as she watched her alarm clock tick and tick. She stared intently as the clock changed from 6:44 AM to 6:45 AM, and she turned away saying, "OK, just calm down Pan. You know what they say, a watched pot never boils and a watched clock doesn't go off." She then looked around her room, taking it all in once again, which didn't help much considering that one, she had been living there for a week at this point and knew everything about it, two she had long since unpacked her stuff so most of what was around her was various posters and knick knacks she had acquired over the years, and finally she had now been awake for roughly an hour in this excited haze and had tried, and failed, to burn it off by straightening up various things and making not just the room, but the entire place look pristine. She had thought about watching some TV or getting in a quick training session but decided against both as she currently lacked the focus and patience needed for most activities. "Think girl. What else can I do to try to try and kill time," she said before glancing down at her new silk pajamas and saying, "OH I KNOW! I can go get my shower and get dressed." She then hopped off the bed beaming a smile before a look of realization came to her face as she said, "Wait... but if I do that then as soon as my alarm goes off at seven all I'd have to do is eat breakfast then I'll be ready to head out the door... roughly a hour early since it only takes ten minutes to walk there and my first class isn't until eight." She then sat back down as she said, "Well at least these new pajamas are comfy," before rubbing her cheek against her shoulder to feel the softness of it. "I really gotta hand it to Bulma, she went all with this place from the big things like furniture to the little things like this." A smile soon beamed on her face though as she said to herself, "BUUUT, these thoughts should have made a decent amount of time go by..." she turned back to her clock with a hopeful grin, only to have it dashed away as she saw the clock turn from 6:45 AM to 6:46 AM before grunting and falling back in bed. After a few moments of her twitching with her excitement and briefly sitting back up a few times when she thought of something to do, only to then fall back down when she realized a flaw in it. She eventually laid down virtually brain dead with boredom before, finally, the clock hit 7:00 and she slammed the button before it had a chance to ring and, unfortunately for it, it will never ring again because in her excitement she didn't bother to hold back too much and ended up completely shattering the alarm clock... and cracking the table that was underneath it slightly. "Whoops ha ha... well it's a good thing Bulma's giving me such a hefty allowance. I mean, the table should be fine for a while but I definitely need a new clock." She then began thinking about the nearby stores and how she could pick one up on the way home from school, but that thought quickly melted away as the excitement of her first day at a new school resurfaced and she jumped out of bed running towards her bathroom to start getting ready. As she ran she undid the top few buttons on her pajama top and once she reached the door she slammed it open, careful not to destroy anything this time, tossed her top and bottom onto the floor, started the water, and hopped right in. "AAHHHH!" Only to scream and hop back out as she hadn't given the water any time to heat up. She stood there shaking from the cold as she told herself, "OK, THAT SUCKED!" She then looked at the handy dandy shower thermometer, which she should have done in the first place, and saw it steadily ticking up. As she waited her excitement and impatience started to creep back up as she said to herself, "Alright, what can I do to pass the time?" She looked around the bathroom trying to figure is out before noticing her pajamas crumpled on the floor as she said, "Well I guess I could fold up my PJs and put them back on my bed for tonight, but if I do that I won't have anything to wear back to my room... of course I technically don't NEED to wear anything given that I live alone now. The question is though which will kill more time, putting them away now or putting them back on only to have to remove them and put on my street clothes." She thought on this for a few seconds only to catch a glimpse of the still ticking thermometer as her inpatients over took her and she said , "OK DEFINITELY GOING WITH THE OPTION THAT KILLS TIME NOW!" as she scooped up the clothes and headed back to her room. Thankfully by the time she folded up the pajamas and got back to the bathroom the water was just about up to temp so she quickly brushed her teeth, and spit the toothpaste out, not bothering to lean to far into the sink since she was bout to clean herself anyway and honestly didn't care at the moment. She then was able to quickly jump in, get cleaned up, and run back to her room where she swung the closet open, grabbed her usual outfit and slipped into it in no time at all. As she tied the bandanna she started heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. While rocketing down the stares she briefly slowed as she thought, "Huh, kinda ironic that I didn't bother to do the 'what should I wear today' dance when pretty much everything else in my life has changed.... eh maybe another time." Her pace quickened once again as she reached the kitchen and opened the fridge peering inside. After a little searching she spied the perfect thing for this situation as she grabbed it saying, "Microwavable bacon and eggs. Fast enough to where I won't get impatient, but slow enough to where I won't be heading out the door in like two seconds." She opened the box and popped one into the microwave... only to pause as she looked at it and thought, "No way that's gonna be enough to fill me up," before she grabbed another two of these meals and stuffed them in as well, tripling the time. She had gotten herself a plate and silverware, which she had neglected to clean the night before so she was able to kill time by rinsing some off, and soon the microwave went off and and she grabbed her food, pouring it on the plate and started eating. "Mmmhh-eeekkkkk!" To which was greeted to a strange combination of burned on the outside and cold on the inside, letting her know that tripling the time wasn't the right choice. As she glanced down at all the food she made she thought for a moment before shrugging and saying, "Meh, it could be worse," before she started chowing it down with her usual zeal. After that was over she placed her plate and silverware back in the sink, grabbed her keys, phone, wallet, and backpack. and headed out the door. As she was walking she thought to herself "Alright, I got everything taken care of." She then listed everything on her fingers, "Teeth brushed, shower taken, food eaten, supplies grabbed, all checked and ready to go. And the time is," she thought as she reached and pulled out her phone, "seven twenty." She then got agitated as she started saying out loud, not caring who heard, "EH! Seriously after all the work, I'm still gonna be that early!" After a moment or rage she she took a deep brief and said, "Calm down girl, no good came from stressing out like that. Just... think of something to do." She then looked around and noticed a cheap little electronics store. "I guess I can my new alarm clock ON THE WAY to school," she said before turning towards the building. At exactly 7:32 AM Pan spotted Canterlot High, and for the first time in her life, was mad that a store DIDN'T have a long line. As she approached the building though she saw other students entering and chatting and her excitement returned as she thought to herself, "Maybe that isn't so bad, I mean I can put my stuff in my locker and maybe make some new friends." Her excited grin returned as she entered the building and began walking through the hall. After looking around and taking a moment to soak everything in she pulled out the little card that came with her schedule and contained her locker number and combination as she thought, "Alright, locker number three fifty." she then glanced at the lockers around her. "Let's see, three forty six, three forty eight, and HERE WE GO! Locker three fifty, now just to open it-" Before she could finish that thought though she heard a feminine voice say, "LOOK OUT AHEAD!" Not everyone bothering to turn and look, since she could sense the person energy, Pan simple stepped back and as the girl passed she placed her hand on her shoulder to bring her to a stop. Now that she could get a good look at her she saw the girl had blue skin, a white and violet skirt, a blue jacket on top of a white shirt, and finally, and most bizarrely rainbow colored hair. Pan thought about commenting on it, before remembering some of her friends of family members hair styles and shrugging it off. The girl, stunned by her sudden lose of momentum, stood there for a moment in shock before she turned to Pan and with a beaming smile said, "That was SO AWESOME! How the heck did you stop me so fast, and without even really looking at me?" Not wanting to brag on the first day, she just nervously smiled and said, "Just lucky I guess." "Ah, that makes sense. Especially considering that I've been training for years and even I can't do anything like that," said the girl before she looked at her own card in her hand. "Anyway, looks like we're locker neighbors. I'm Rainbow Dash by the way, you can call me Rainbow or Dash, whichever you prefer," she said as she reached her hand out to Pan with a welcoming smile. Pan returned the smile and shook her hand saying, "Nice to meet you Dash, I'm Son Pan but you can just call me Pan." Rainbow Dash thought for a moment before saying, "Son Pan huh, I feel like I heard that name before.... you didn't happen to go to Cloudsdale Middle School did you?" "Ummm, no. I just moved here all the way from East City," said Pan. At hearing this any desire to remember where she had heard Pan's from disappeared as Dash said, "Wait, you moved from THAT far away!?" "Um... yeah," said Pan a little confused, "So what?" "Nothing it's just.... not many people move TO this sleepy little town from a big city. It's usually the other way around," said Rainbow Dash. Not wanting to get into the details about how she was technically getting paid to go to school here and make friends, Pan decided to only tell her part of the truth as she smiled nervously saying, "Yeah well, I'd been looking for a change of pace lately and just something about this place seemed to fit." "Oh... that's cool," said Dash who clearly wanted more detail but seemed to be satisfied for now. "Well, as someone who moved here not too long and still remembers what it was like, why don't I show you around." "Sounds great!" said Pan with an eager smile on her face Rainbow Dash nodded saying, "Cool," before leading Pan along on her little tour, pointing out the areas of the school she deemed important. "OK so over there's the gym, where your most likely to find me, and there's the library, not usually my scene but I do always make sure to show up when the new Daring Do books come in." What Dash didn't seem to notice though was that as she moved through the hall everyone else seemed to be moving in the opposite direction with looks of either concern or outright fear on their faces. Pan didn't want to upset her potential new friend though, so she decided to let Dash continue the tour and just kept her eyes peeled. "OH and up ahead is my friend Flutter-" Dash's tour was swiftly interrupted though as she and and Pan looked to see an orange girl with fiery red and yellow hair, an orange skirt, a leather jacket, and matching leather boots, pushing another girl against the lockers as she said, "So, I hear you're the one who screwed me out of my extra credit charity assignment." The other girl, who was yellow with pink hair and a simply white tang top and green skirt combo, nervously said, "Um, I didn't mean to do anything to you. Principal Celestia just called the animal shelter to know what time you were volunteering and-" "And you told her I wasn't!" said the fiery girl as she slammed her fist on the lockers. The pink haired girl was now visible trembling as she said, "Well yes, but that's only because I thought it was a mistake... I didn't know you were using my shelter as a cover." "WELL I WAS! But now, thanks to you, I'm not getting the credit I worked so hard for." "Um, I'm not sure if lieing is really working hard," said the pink haired girl at nearly a whisper. The fiery girl slammed another first against the locker as she said, "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" "NOTHING SUNSET! I'M SORRY!" "Damn right nothing," said the fiery girl, apparently named Sunset. "Now next time someone you know asks about me, you just go along with it. YOU GOT THAT FLUTTER-CRY!" The pink haired girl now had tears flowing down here face, hence the insult, as she nodded fearfully and choked out, "Yes mam." "Good," said Sunset as she backed off a bit, only to have a sadistic smile come to her face as she said, "Then again, when dealing with a ditz like you, it couldn't hurt to beat the lesson into you." She then clenched her fist and prepared to strike the girl, and as Pan prepared to do something Dash beat her to it as she said, "WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE ELSE SUN-SHIT!" Sunset turned to Rainbow, before her smile returned to her as she walked forward saying, "Well well if it isn't Rain-Bitch Dash here to save her girlfriend again." "She's not my girlfriend, and you know it..." Dash then shied before continuing saying, "after all you're the one who made up that rumor," said Rainbow as she approached Sunset. "True, but it's not exactly gonna remain credible if I don't at least pretend it's true around others, speaking of which," she said before turning to Pan as she said, "I see you're showing around a new girl, and here I thought making friends with strays with Fluttershy's thing." Pan became slightly agitated as she thought to herself, "Just who the heck does this girl think she is!?" "Leave her out of this, it's between you and me right now," said Rainbow. "Oh I would love to give you another beating," said Sunset with sarcastic sympathy, before she pressed her boots against the ground to leap towards Pan with an outstretched fist as she said, "But I can't pass up the opportunity to teach someone the pecking order around here" Now, to Dash it may have looked like Sunset was rocketing towards Pan, but to her it might as well have been in slow mo as she thought to herself, "SERIOUSLY WHO DOES THIS GIRL THINK SHE IS!" Pan looked closer at her face contorted with a sadistic glee as she continued, "She's actually kind of cute... to bad she's such a bitch. Anyway... I could just step to side and let her fall flat on her face buuuut, I think she needs to be taken down a peg or two and as grandpa would say, 'what better way then with a little Satan flair'." Pan quickly jumped to the side of Sunset and just as her smile faded, Pan had her own form as she yelled "DYNAMITE KICK," and knocked Sunset against the lockers. Sunset fell to the floor, but quickly got back up clutching her shoulder in pain and preparing herself to continue as she said, "You little shi-" Before she could finish though Dash spoke up saying, "OH MY GOSH THAT MOVE!" She then turned to Pan with a look of pure ecstasy on her face as she said, "Now I know where I know you from, you're Son Pan, the granddaughter of the world champ Mr. Satan!" "Um, yeah," said Pan as scratched her head embarrassed, she then turned her attention back to Sunset as her tone changed to one of confidence. "I mean- yeah, so if you know what's good for you, you better get out of here and leave us alone!" Sunset seamed to get angrier though as she said, "So you're related to that fraud ay, well then Son Pan I-" Sunset stopped mid sentence though as her expression turned to one of deep thought. "Wait Son Pan.... as in Son Goku?" Pan was a little unnerved as she said, "How do you know about my other grandpa?" She never got an answer as they heard a commanding voice say, "What is going on here girls?!" They all looked over to see a woman with light pink skin, long multicolored hair, a yellow jacket, and purple pants. Instantly Pan recognized her as being Principal Celestia from the schools website, but that info didn't do much to comfort her as she stared at them all with a stern look that seemed to say, "Explain now or you're all in trouble." Pan thought to herself, "Am I seriously going to get in trouble on my first day for hitting a girl who deserved it," as she slightly groaned. She then looked back at Dash and Fluttershy, as apparently that was the pink haired girls name, as she thought, "Please tell me one of you has an excuse." As the seconds started to tick by and Pan prepared herself to face the music the last person she expected to come to her aid moved to the front, still clutching her shoulder, as she said, "Oh it's nothing Principal Celestia. I was just talking to the new girl when I accidentally tripped and fell against the lockers." Instantly Celestia's look turned from one of anger to concern as she said, "Oh my, are you alright." "Not really, if you don't mind could you take me the nurses office," said Susnet as she had a pleading look come to her face. "Of course," said Celestia before turning to the others as she said, "Sorry Ms. Son, I was hoping to greet you and ask if you needed help with anything. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, can I trust you girls to help her while I escort Sunset to the nurse." "Um," said Fluttershy nervous. "You got it Principal C," said Rainbow with a huge smile and thumbs up. Celestia, possible sensing that something was up, paused for a moment before grabbing Sunset's uninjured hand and leading her down the hall. As soon as they were out of ear shot Dash turned back to Pan and said excitedly, "THAT WAS SERIOUSLY AWESOME! The way you took out Sunset like that was just EEEEHHHHH SO COOL!" As Rainbow jumped up and down giddily Fluttershy looked deep in thought, resulting in Rainbow bumping her shoulder and giving her the typical mother "what do we say?" look as Fluttershy responding with, "Oh sorry, thanks for saving me back there, it's just I'm trying to figure why Sunset lied to Celestia for you" At hearing this Rainbow came back to Earth as she said, "Hmm, that is weird. Usually in a situation like this she would play the victim to try and get you in trouble, and it probable would have worked given how she has Celestia wrapped around her little finger." Pan took in all this new information as she too began wondering what exactly was going in that girls head to make her have, this apparently out of character, touch of mercy. Meanwhile as Sunset and Celestia marched down the hall Sunset allowed her false look of pain to slip away to a slight smirk as she gripped her arm and thought to herself, "It's a good thing I studied up on human anatomy to figure out how the hell this ugly fleshy body works. All I have to do is claim I have pain here and here and they'll send me home with a sprain." She then looked back as she continued thinking, "Oh sweet little Pan, I can't let anything happen to you... yet, after all you're going to be my key for getting the power I deserve and ruling this pathetic little world."
