“Jeez, that was a long walk just to get to a school,” Element Aura said.

Boltfire And Crimson Strike looked at him.

“Yeah,” Crimson Strike said.

“Don’t worry, Princess Twilight will teleport us right to the gates of Canterlot!” Boltfire said.

They walked towards the door to get in. When they opened it, Element Aura saw many wonderful things, Mainly the fact that there were different creatures in the school.

Dragons,  Ponies, Hippogriffs, Yaks, And Griffons. Element Aura thought. Never thought I’d see them together.

“Welcome to the School Of Friendship!” someone called.

The Trio turned around to see a small purple dragon with green eyes and green spikes on his back. “Hi Spike,” Boltfire greeted.

“Hey Boltfire,” Spike replied.

Boltfire And Spike started talking about their Power Pony comics.

“Ha, never gets old,” Crimson Strike said. 

“They’re always like this?” Element Aura asked.

“Yep, always trying to see who has the best comics.”

Element Aura thought about the comics they were talking about. “Oh, yeah, Power Ponies,” Element Aura said, “Those are super hero comics right?”

Boltfire And Spike looked at him with wide eyes. “Wait you’ve never read anything of them?” Spike asked.


“Well, not really,” Element Aura admitted.


“Hey Spike, could you give me a tour of the school?” Element Aura asked.

“Yeah, come on,” Spike said.


“That was a great tour,” Element Aura said.

“Thanks, I try my best,” Spike said.

“Here,” Element Aura said taking out some bits. “Go buy yourself some Power Pony comics.”

“Gee, Thanks!” Spike said looking happy.

Element Aura turned his attention from Spike to the door. Well here goes nothing Element Aura thought. He opened the door to get into his classroom. He saw many ponies, including Twilight Sparkle and her friends, AppleJack, Fluttershy, Pinky Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, And finally Starlight Glimmer.

Wow Element Aura thought. He looked around until he saw Boltfire, who gestured for him to come up and sit by him and Crimson Strike.

“Any word on the trip?” Element Aura asked.

“Well—“ Boltfire leaned towards Element Aura, “—apparently Shining Armor is guiding us,” Boltfire whispered.

wow, this day keeps getting better and better Element Aura thought, just as Shining Armor walked in.

“Alright, here we go,” Twilight said before teleporting everypony in the room to Canterlot.


Well, Boltfire wasn’t lying Element Aura thought. He found the tour really interesting. From learning about Nightmare Moon to the Elements Of Harmony.

“Oh no,” Boltfire said looking nervous.

Element Aura looked at him. “What’s wrong Boltfire?” Element Aura asked.

“LightningStorm,” Boltfire whispered pointing towards a blue Pegasus with a lightning yellow mane. 

“What’s wrong with him?” Element Aura asked.

“He always bullies and beats me up.” Element Aura looked at his bronze friend.

“Why?” Element Aura asked.

Boltfire looked back. “How in Luna’s Horn am I suppose to know!”


When they finally reached the throne room, every creature got quiet.

“Alright, Don’t be shy,” Shining Armor said.

Shining opened the door and everyone walked in.

“Greetings,” the three Alicorn princesses said. All the students bowed.

Element Aura watched as most of the students, including Boltfire and Crimson Strike asked the three princesses questions.

Element Aura thought about asking about his parents, but didn’t.

They’re princesses, not parent trackers Element Aura thought.

Just after Shining Armor announced they’d be leaving LightningStorm walked over to where Boltfire was.

Oh no Element Aura thought.

LightningStorm walked over and punched Boltfire so hard he flew back and landed on his back.

“Hey!” Starlight called.

All the creatures turned to see LightningStorm had punched Boltfire. Boltfire turned onto his chest and reached his hoof out towards Element Aura. LightningStorm looked at Element Aura.

“Haha, What you need your fake family to stand up for you?”

Element Aura got mad and decided to knock the ever living flight out of the Pegasus, but he needed a plan of escape. A hole, open window, anything would do. Eventually, he found a door, in the wall? Element Aura got really confused. Why was there a secret door in wall? But that didn’t matter. He grabbed a book from his saddle bag and walked over to LightningStorm.

“Hey!” Element Aura said, giving LightningStorm just enough time to look at him before bringing the book down on his head, right where a horn would be.

“Gee, Sorry about that,” Element Aura teased before running towards the door.

He looked behind him to see that LightningStorm had gotten up and started flying after him. He opened and then slammed the door shut before LightningStorm could catch him.
