A Sharp Pain

I Can't Wait To See You

/Viola's P.O.V/

"Magic for Princess Twilight, Laughter for Miss Pinkie Pie, Generosity for Miss Rarity, Honesty for Miss Applejack, Loyalty for Miss Rainbow Dash and Kindness for Miss Fluttershy." I listed off the names and Sandbar nodded, satisfied.

"Good! And what about Headmare Twilight's daughters?" He asked and I clicked my claws on the table, trying to remember.

"The Pegasus, Starglow is the older one, seventeen. Princess Twilight adopted her after finding out that she escaped from her abusive mother, Scarlet Shadow. It was no problem after Princess Celestia heard about the situation, she had Scarlet Shadow sent to Tartarus and Starglow got to live with Princess Twilight, who was her mother from there on out. Her cutie mark is a six-sided star, symbolling her love to perform." I explained and Sandbar nodded, letting me know to go on.

"And the unicorn, Avery is fourteen, she's an author. She published two well-known books, What Goes On Inside Your Head and Not Knowing How To Feel. She's currently working on her third installment, which is unknown at the moment. She was an orphan, living on the streets until Princess Twilight took her in. she had never celebrated Christmas or her birthday, she didn't even know what Santa Hooves was until she was taught by Miss Pinkie Pie. Her cutie mark is words on a page, symbolling her passion for writing."

Sandbar grinned, raised his hoof and I bumped it with my claw, eager.

"You got this! You are going to ace this test on Monday!" He exclaimed, happily and I grinned, fluttering a few feet in the air.

"I hope so! I have to pass this test! I want to show Gallus that I can do it, if I really put my mind to it." I explained and he nodded in understanding.

"Vi, you'll be just fine. Gallus will be proud of you no matter what." I nodded at his compliment but sighed. It's not just Gallus. I want to show everybody that I'm not stupid. That I can do things that everybody else can.

"I know. I just want to prove it; you know?" I asked him and he smiled. I flew off to find my brother. He was probably in his room, doing who knows what.

I opened his door, finding Gallus asleep, book on his bed and he was using it as a pillow. I snickered lightly and jumped on him.

"Wake up!" I exclaimed, causing him to shout in surprise and fall off the bed. I giggled in response, and Gallus looked at me, irritated. "Good morning! I know it's Saturday, but you'd promised Sil' we'd hang out." I told him, speaking of the pink hippogriff. Gallus sighed, shaking his head and got up.

"Okay, okay. I'm up, I'm up." He told me and I grinned, flying past him.

"Yeah!" I exclaimed, happily, doing a little spin in the air, causing my brother to smile. "Do you know if Flame's comin?'" I asked, excitedly. Flame was our only friend back at Griffonstone, Gallus had invited him to Friends and Family day on Thursday, which was still five days off.

"I do, he sent a letter back." He paused for effect as I bounced with anticipation. "He'll be here." Gallus covered his ears as I screamed for joy, bouncing up and down.

"I can't believe it! He's coming! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!" I geeked out, and I stopped as I saw Silverstream run towards us.

"Is everything alright?! I can't find Sandbar and I heard Viola scream, who needs protection?!" Silverstream had a book in her claws and Gallus motioned towards me and Silverstream sighed, seeing that I was fine. "You told her about Flame?" She asked and he nodded.

"Can we go eat? I haven't eaten since 4:00." I told them, Silverstream looked like she was about to say something, but decided against it.

"Alright." She sighed, beginning to walk to the cafeteria.

"Wait, hang on." Gallus stopped her, giving her a suspicious look.

"You thought that Vi and I were in danger. Was going to hurt us. And as protection you brought Avery's book?" He asked and Silverstream nodded, proud.

"Sure did!" She exclaimed and Gallus shook his head with a slight scoff.

"You're insane." He told her and she smirked, walking towards him.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are."

"Okay, try to fight me off!" She exclaimed, playfully hitting him with a book, and they began to chase each other around.

"Sil! Don't you dare!"

"Try to fight me off!"

"Sil, I swear!"

"Don't swear!"

"Fine! I'll get my own food!" I flew to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I walked up to the lunchpony, who was an alicorn, she was teal color, having a blue mane and matching tail, she had green eyes, a music note for a cutie mark and a cut left ear.

"Hi Misty Skies!" I waved and she smiled at me.

"Hello Miss Viola, how can I help you today?" She asked, smiling at me.

"Today's special please! I'm starving!" I exclaimed, causing her to chuckle.

"I hear you, dear. School can bring that out of you. Especially a friendship school." She used her magic to bring over my food and she smiled. "Have a lovely day dear!" I waved back at her and went to sit at a lunch table.

I was shortly joined by Gallus and Silverstream, who had finished their book war, Yona and Sandbar and eventually, Smolder and Ocellus.

"Will Flame be arriving of Thursday?" Sandbar questioned and Gallus shook his head.

"No, he'll be leaving on Wednesday and he'll be staying the night at a hotel near here. He'll be here Thursday morning." Gallus explained and I shirked in excitement. Gallus turns towards me. "Don't. Geek. Out." He told me and I folded my front claws, annoyed.

"Did you tell them about…" I coughed so he would get what I was saying.

"What about Griffon friend?" Yona questioned, not understanding.

"Okay. So, Flame is very nice and has brought out the best of us. One thing you need to know about him though…." Gallus paused for a moment. "He's deaf." Smolder looked at him for a moment.

"So, the guy can't hear? So what?" She asked, shrugging her shoulders.

"Yes, Viola, Flame and I have all learned WSL, also known as Winged Sign Language. As far as we know, we're the only ones who speak it. We use our wings and claws for Flame to understand what's going on." Gallus explained and Smolder nodded.

"Can't he ask someone without signing?" Sandbar asked and I shook my head.

"No. Because he doesn't talk." The others nodded in understanding.

"So, in order for us to communicate with him, we'll need you or Gallus to sign?" Silverstream asked and I nodded.

"Exactly. And don't be intimidated. He'd deaf. He's not from the moon." Gallus told them, earning a few confused looks. "Don't ask." I noticed then he winced slightly, but not loud enough for anyone to hear him. I raised an eyebrow, concerned, but I brushed it off. No matter what it was, he'd come to me or someone else if it was serious? Right?
