Gladiator Beast swung his arm, easily swatting several tanks over as if they quite literally weighed nothing. Celestia groaned pinching the bridge of her nose. Great... We're doomed now! Unless a superhero shows up out of nowhere... "What do you know! A superhero has arrived on the scene! At least I hope she's a hero and not another villian..." The reporter blurted out suddenly, even as the camera zoomed on to what appeared to be a young cowgirl that was holding a lasso that appeared to be glowing. She was wearing, besides the brown Stetson, a pair of simple brown cowgirl boots that had apple shaped emeralds along the top edges, a long apple red skirt that was longer in the back than the front, a blue denim shirt, a long yellow braid, a gold belt buckle with a bright red apple shaped ruby in the center, and a rather obvious mark, most likely a birthmark from the looks of it of three red apples right up next to her right eye. Celestia gave a slow nod of approval, even as the new arrival spoke up, raising her lasso over her head.
"Don't worry ya'll! Ah'm here to save the day! Or else my name ain't... uh... Lasso Girl!"The new superhero wrinkled her nose, as if that was not what she thought she would say upon arriving on the scene.
"Lasso Girl? What kind of name is that?" Gladiator Beast burst out laughing, clutching his sides with amusement. Celestia grimaced as she grasped her desk as the entire school shook in response to his laughter. Please stop laughing...
The new super hero scowled at him, the lasso in her hand whipping around in a large, quick, circle despite her hands not moving. "Hey! I'm new at this!"This just cracked up the villain all the more.Couldn't she have had some experience before today..? Gladiator Beast swung a fist down, slamming it into her. The hero's lasso reacted instinctively, wrapping around his fist tightly, pulling it away from her face.
"How about you tell me your real name little girl!"
"I can't do that! You'll just go after my family!" She shoved back hard with her own two hands, sending him tumbling to the ground. "Well I'll be... the of the truth I tell the stronger I am! You may all call me Officer Honest!"
"Hiya Humble Heart! Wait is that Gladiator Beast... weird I thought you defeated him ages ago!" Another superhero, a pink party entertainer version of the newly named Humble Heart appeared out of no where, waving to the heroine with a large smile on her face. Up until she noticed a nearby newsstand. "Oh! I accidently time traveled back in time to when you first started out as a hero, before we became besties! Silly me!" With that said, the newcomer zipped off to somewhen...
The news reporter cleared her throat loudly, even as Humble Heart promptly launched at Gladiator Beast. "That just happened. Kind of wish that she had stayed long enough to confirm when she was from... or what her name is. Maybe stayed still long enough for us to actually get a good look at her outfit. Oh well... back to the battle!"
Celestia waved to her students as she entered the cafeteria, glad that Humble Heart was able to get overpower Gladiator Beast semi-quickly. Life was continuing on as normal now. Besides that, as the news reporter pointed out, it probably would be several years before they have to deal with another super villain attack... "Oh! Is no one sitting next to you again Fluttershy?" Celestia paused in her musings, turning her attention to the young teen with pink hair that was sitting by herself, only a single bunny sitting on her lap for company.
Fluttershy nodded meekly, a frown on her face. "I guess no one is still interested in being friends with me..."
Celestia flinched at that, quickly looking around to see if she couldn't find an answer to her dilemma. All of the tables were full, best friends and clubs segregating themselves from everyone else. Not that it mattered. There were a few students that she knew if she called them out would gladly sit next to Fluttershy. A quick scan of the cafeteria was all that was needed to reveal that Rainbow Dash was already sitting with the soccer team, and the FFA club were sitting together, including their club president Applejack. Rarity appeared to be sitting with a group of freshmen instead of her fashionable friends, though seeing as how one of the freshmen happened to be her little sister, that might have something to do with it. Pinkie Pie, a social butterfly that never stuck with the status quo, unfortunately appeared to have decided that she was sitting with the drama club today. A sigh escaped her, just as a nervous Twilight, with Spike right at her heels, left the cafeteria line. Perhaps... "Twilight! I have someone I want you to meet!" Crisis averted, She glanced around to see if she couldn't find Sunset... only to find her sitting with a group of kids that Celestia plainly knew were just plain trouble.
"Yes Ms. Stardust?" Twilight approached her apprehensively.
Celestia smiled as she moved to gesture to Fluttershy, who was trying to hide behind her hair. "This is Fluttershy Shy. She typically eats by herself, how would you like to join her. Just for today!" Celestia hurriedly added that, not wanting her to think this was to be an everyday thing. "She's extremely shy and as some anxiety problems. In fact Angel the bunny is her own service animal, so Spike won't be alone over here." Celestia bit her bottom lip, waiting for the teen to respond.
Twilight appeared to be thinking things over very seriously, before nodding in agreement. "Okay. I think having someone to sit next to until I meet a few more people would be nice."
Celestia clapped her hands together with relief, before leaving the two to eat in peace. Nodding to the lunch lady, she walked out of the cafeteria, knowing that she still had a lot to do before the assembly later that day...
