//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: A new start // Story: Honey Bunny Sunny // by Nosey Flame //------------------------------// "Welcome to the school of friendship. I am your headmare Starlight Glimmer." Starlight told her new pupils who had just started the new semester. Starlight was the new headmare of the school of friendship. Twilight Sparkle, the former headmare, had given Starlight the position since she was going to begin her reign as princess of Equestria. She needed somepony to continue running the school since creatures from all over Equestria came to the school. When Starlight was given the position, she was nervous that she wouldn't make a good headmare so she asked Twilight if she could hire a vice headmare. She then hired Sunburst as vice principal and Trixie as student counsellor. "Please form a line infront of vice principal Sunburst to get signed in and infront of student counsellor Trixie for your class schedules. For those who have done both please follow the teachers Smolder and Silverstream for a tour of the school." Starlight added. When she had finished addressing the school, she went to her office to finish her paperwork. Just then she heard a knock at the door "May I come in," said a familiar voice to Starlight. "Oh Sunburst you may come in." Starlight said as the door opened. "Here is the list of all the students who have just signed in." "Oh please put them on my desk thank you." Sunburst then looked at Starlight and blushed a little bit but Starlight hadn't seen it. Then when he turned to go, the door burst open and Smolder came in with a panic look on her face. "Principal Starlight the dragons and changelings are fighting." She said gasping and wheezing for air since she ran up the stairs even if she could just fly to her office. "Well have you told student counselor Trixie?" She asked hastily as if the school was being attacked by some evil creature bent on world domination. "She was there when the fight started and she and the other creatures are trying to separate the creatures apart." "Well okay then. Sunburst come with me." Sunburst didn't say anything but listened to Starlight and followed her. When they reached there, they saw something they never saw before and were even more shocked to see the dragon who was fighting the changeling. "GARBLE!!!" They all said sounding surprised except for Smolder. "Smolder what is your brother doing here!?" Starlight asked using a very angry tone. "Well I wanted to learn about friendship, and Lord Ember forced me to come here." Garble said speaking up for himself. "BUT THIS HALF PONY HALF INSECT KEEPS STEPPING ON MY TAIL!!" "HEY YOU KEEP MOVING BACKWARDS SINCE I STEPPED ON YOUR TAIL THE FIRST TIME AND I WAS HOOF TAPPING!!! "Could every creature please calm down. I'm sure this was all a misunderstanding. Now Garble apologize to....... um what's your name? Starlight asked the changeling who was standing impatiently waiting for the apology. "Oh my name is Gemluck miss headmare." The changeling said. "Oh well Garble please apologize to Gemluck for intentionally moving backwards on purpose and letting him stepping on your tail." Starlight said using a very soft but firm tone. "But it's not......." Garble started but stopped when he saw Smolder giving him a warning look. "Okay okay. I'm sorry Pony/bug." He said lowering his head in shame. "And you Gemluck apologize to Garble for stepping on his tail." Sunburst said giving the changeling a look that could have been mistaken by 'the stare'. "I'm sorry dragon." Gemluck said also lowering his head in shame. "Now as a punishment you two will share a dorm." Starlight said. "WHAT!!!" The two said in shock. "You heard what she said. You are sharing a dormitory." Sunburst said with a very firm voice that made the two creatures jump in surprise and fear. Even Starlight was shocked at the tone. "Now do you promise to behave?" Asked Trixie. "Yes miss Trixie." The pair said still a bit sour about it. When everything was settled, everyone went back to what they were doing. Trixie was lucky since Garble and Gemluck were the last ones. *** 'Well Sunburst it's now or never.' He thought to himself. He wanted to try and help Starlight with the student files. It was the least he could do for her. 'Come on Sunburst just do it already.' He was chasing after Starlight who was trotting away to her office. Starlight who had a lot of work to do wanted to start now before it got dark. She was only daydreaming about her bed at the castle of friendship. When she heard hoof steps behind her, she stopped to see who was coming towards her she blushed lightly. When she saw Sunburst, her thoughts were immediately occupied by something else. Her imagination ran wild as she imagined she was on top of the hill in sweet apple acres (where most ponies in Ponyville considered to be the most romantic place in the town) with a picnic blanket and basket. Then she saw him running up the hill to her. The wind in his mane and the breeze that made his cloak fly around as he ran. Back in reality Sunburst had almost reached her when she snapped back to reality. She noticed she was blushing and tried to hide it. When Sunburst finally caught up, he also blushed light rose. The two of them stood there in silence staring at each other. Finally Sunburst cleared his throat and said, "Um hey Starlight. Is it okay if I could help you with the new student files? I kinda finished reading all my books 20 times." "Um sure." Starlight said trying to process what just happened. "You can stop by my office in thirty minutes." Sunburst finally did it. He asked Starlight if she needed help and she actually accepted. He said to himself Hey maybe she might take a liking in me. ' When they turned away from each other, they were both blushing crimson. ' Why do I feel so weird around Sunburst. He's just another pony. Another cute pony.' Little did they know, some pony saw them. "The great and powerful Trixie has observed that Sunburst and Starlight like each other. She will continue observing the two of them and will come up with a great and powerful plan."
