//------------------------------// // A Pretty Rad Tour // Story: Nuclear: The Radioactive Changeling // by TheRadioactiveChangeling //------------------------------// Sunset was walking towards the principal's office. What did celestia, or luna, want with her now? Maybe something was wrong? She'll soon see. "Uhh...Celestia? I'm here. What did you want?" Sunset asked nervously as she walked through the door. "Oh! Sunset! I just called you here cause we have a new student at canterlot high," Celestia explained. A New student? We haven't had one of them for a year. Sunset thought. "Sunset...Meet, Nuclear U. Thorium," Celestia said as nuclear walked out from behind the corner, making sunset stutter. "Heh...Hi, uhh, sunset?" Nuclear said hi. "Y-Y-You...uhh...Hi?" Sunset stuttered. "Yeah, I know. I look kinda weird but, I'm just hoping that I can be friends and beat my grades upwards," He said. “That was a terrible analogy...” "uhh...Ok?" Sunset said, still kinda confused. "Well Sunset, I also chose you to lead out new student through a tour of the school. Don't worry, Everyone's in their classes, so you should have a clear run," Celestia announced. "Ok...Nuclear. Let's go," She said before grabbing his hand and walking out of the office. Shining armor was breathing heavily, even after everything was done. "Okay. I chose the honor guard, picked the purity crystal, and I know exactly who I want to be our crystaller. So, all we need is," Shining armor said. "The baby?" Cadence said exhausted. "We're here, although I can't find nuclear. Probably off with starlight and spike," Twilight said as she came in. "She's a really strong flyer!" Pinkie proclaimed as she came out of the bubble. This Pinkie leaving the bubble didn't sit well with Flurry as she started bawling, which unfortunately caused crystal heart to be shred to pieces. "uhh...A'hm guessin that's gonna make the crystalling harder to do huh?" Applejack said. "It's worse than that. Without the Heart, the Crystal Empire's about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!" Twilight proclaimed as flurry so innocently went to sleep. “Okay, seriously, where is nuclear? He might actually know what to do now, right?” Rainbow dash asked. “As I said before, probably with starlight and spike, but I’ll send a quick note to spike,” Twilight said as she wrote a quick letter. "So Nuclear. Why did you go here instead of back through the mirror?" Sunset asked Nuclear, who then looked at her in confusion. "What Mirror? Wait, Do you know about equestria? and if so, all I know is I was in a basement of the crystal empire and a portal appeared," Nuclear confessed. "Well, yes I do know about equestria, in fact I'm from there, and that portal thing is weird. The only way I know of getting into here or back is a magic mirror. Also, Why do you look weird. Aren't you a pony?" Sunset asked him. "Nope. I'm no pony. I'm a changeling," Nuclear said which confused Sunset this time. "Oh, Changelings are beings that are like, shape shifting ponies. We take the forms of ponies, dragons, griffons, anything living and turn into them, gaining their properties, although I'm a bit stronger at that then most," Nuclear explained, making sunset more confused. "I'll explain more later, cause I ain't goin through that for a while." "Oh we're here. This is the main lobby. You can do, pretty much whatever you want here, as long as it's nothing giant. It's also the entrance and exit to the school," Sunset explained. "Huh...Looks like my old house. It, It didn't last long with all the hooves walking around," Nuclear said as they continued. "This is one of the main class rooms, used by ms. Cheerilee," Sunset continued.
