//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 - Sunrise first day of school part 1 // Story: An unexpected father hood // by Scorch234 //------------------------------// Sunrise Rose POV I opened my eyes seeing as the suns light pierce through the crack of my window curtains. Getting up, I stretched my out legs as I rubbed my eyes, to remove the sleep in them as I yawn. “hmm what day is it?” I looked towards my calendar and once i saw what day it was I got really excited and jumped out of bed and get ready for the day. Once I was ready I ran towards my dads room to try to and wake him up since he wakes up almost late to everything he makes plans for but not today I'm not going to be late for this day. “dad come on wake up, wake up!” I try shaking him hoping he would wake up only to hear him groan and say. "Ugh Sunrise not now I'm trying to sleep." I puff out my cheeks upset hearing that he won't wake up in decided to do what rainbow dash showed me one time I went into the closet pulled out a bucket filled it with cold water and poured the water all over my dad. “AAAHHH cold water cold water cold water!” seeing my father reaction after he fell off the bed from the cold water i poured on him I found it a bit hard not to laugh at what I did. “Sunrise what did you do that for that water was like really cold?!" "I'm sorry dad but I did what I had to, to get you to wake up or else well be late!” “late, late for wha-.” it soon clicked for him as he saw his calendar and noticed what time it was. "Sweet Celestia how could I almost forget that today is your first day of school oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man I gotta get dressed make you some breakfast than take you to school." "There's no need to feed me breakfast dad I already made myself something to eat so I'll be waiting downstairs dad." After telling my dad that I ate I turned around left his room and went downstairs. Max POV After changing into a fresh new pair of clothes due to Sunrise Rose pouring a bucket of water on me, thanks for showing my daughter that prank dash, I went downstairs and started heading out the house with Sunrise and headed off to ponyvill school house. "So Sunrise how are feeling about your first day of going to school?" I asked her as I looked down at her to see how nervous was. "To be honest dad I feel kind of nervous true I'm excited about going to school, but at the same time I feel nervous because I'm afraid that I might do something that might embarrass me in front of everypony." She says sighing looking down as we were getting close to the school house. "I know how you feel Sunrise I was like that my first day of school I was so excited to be starting my first day of school to actually go and start making some friends, but than I realized that I'm going somewhere that I never been before and that I was going to actually meet people I never met before at this new place I was going to!?" "Really than what did you do after you got to school?" She asks as she looked up at me hoping to me give her the answer she needs. "Well when I asked my mother what I should do on my first day of school she just told me to be myself and not get to nervous when meeting new people or pony in your case which actually worked i just acted like myself and made some some friends because of it." "You really think just by being myself I won't do anything that might embarrass me and makes some friends?" "Well it worked for me in the past, but all I can say Sunrise is that there's nothing to be afraid of we all end up doing something in our lives that might embarrass us, but what matters is that we don't let those things get to us alright." I say smiling down at her seeing this she smile back at me as what I said helped her feel a bit better. "Okay dad I understand thank you." Once we arrived at the school we both gave each other a hug before she pulls away from the hug and said goodbye to each other as she runs off into the school. Sunrise Rose POV After hugging my dad and saying my goodbyes to him I ran off towards the school and ran in sighing that I made it to school on time and feeling better after the talk me and dad had. "Hello there you must be our new student that'll be starting school with us today?" I looked up to see a dark purple mare with light pink mane and tail who's cutiemark resembles that of three smiling flowers. "Oh um yes that's me my name is Sunrise Rose miss." "Well Sunrise Rose my name is Miss Cheerilee and i am the teacher of ponyville school house now that we introduce ourselves why don't follow me and I'll introduce you to the class." She says with a smile as she turned around and entered the classroom with me following right behind her. As we entered the class i saw how many filly and colts were in the class as they were all playing around and making some loud noises. "Alright class settle down i have a important announcement to make." After everypony heard Miss Cheerilee and did as they were told she smiled and walked up to her desk. "Alright class starting today well be having a new student joining us today in school class I like you to meet Sunrise Rose." She looks over it me with a smiles and gestures for me to come in. I was hesitant at first but i left out a bit sigh and walked in heading towards Miss Cheerilee desks and standing next to it looking at the class gulping a bit. "Well Sunrise go on introduce yourself don't be shy." Looking at Miss Cheerilee and nodding to her calmed myself a bit again as I start introducing myself to the class. to be continued
