Time passed quickly for the group, they never left the house and no one came too their door to welcome them, which they were grateful for as they were sure that when they showed up too Canterlot they'd have to answer many many personal questions, which meant lots and lots of lies, luckily Monika and Sayori were good at lying, though Sayori was even better at it then Monika.

The support of MC as well as the other girls managed too sooth Natsuki's residual guilt and she mostly bounced back to her old self in no time, but she was still softer with them then she ever was inside the game, she wouldn't ever admit it out loud but injuries and blood scared her, despite her being a savant in the kitchen.

Clothes were the only time the group ever left the house, they avoided the building that looked like a carousel because they weren't really interested in dresses as they had enough of that for their life times, they were also just shopping for Sayori, Monika and MC.

Finally the day of the Tour was upon them, too say they were nervous was an understatement, never having interacted with anyone but the player controlled MC, they weren't sure how they would be received, Monika was more worried about protecting the others, she had promised that she'd never use her powers to hurt anyone, but the premonition had rattled her.

They arrived at the school after most of the classes had started, whatever universe discord dropped them into seemed to have some kind of twisted sense of humor, because the girl that came to greet them matched the sun in her dream, even down to her hair.

"Hello there, my name is Sunset Shimmer, I'm your tour guide," Sunset greeted with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, it looked like she was trying to hard to make a good impression, though Monika had no idea why.

"My name is Monika," Monika introduced her self, smiling back though this was the one she wore when she was acting club president, which unsettled Sunset because when she ruled the school she used that very same smile to charm or threaten others into silence or obedience.

"I'm Yuri," Yuri quietly introduced herself, Sunset almost did a double take because for a brief second she thought she heard Fluttershy, before it clicked that the purple girl's name really was Yuri.

"I'm Natsuki," Natsuki introduced herself, once again Sunset had to stop from double taking, because the naturally bright pink hair had made her think that Pinkie had pulled one her mysterious powers and just appeared among the group.

"Sayori," Sayori said, not looking directly at Sunset, she was fiddling with the hem of her shirt looking down, she didn't say anything else, instead when she looked up and saw that Sunset was staring at her she seemed to shrink and try to hide behind MC.

"I just go by MC, easier for most to remember my name that way," MC introduced, stepping forward getting Sunsets attention, unaware she had been staring at Sayori.

"Welcome to Canterlot, I'll show you around the school, and then we'll meet the Principle and can get you registered for classes, luckily we have lots of open ones," Sunset as she began walking into the school, with the five walking behind her listening with rapt attention, while she listed off the different programs and classes that were offered.

The entire cooking program had Natsuki hooked when she learned that they had all kinds of cooking and baking offered, even international dished that she couldn't tryout while in DDLC, her enthusiasm reminded Sunset of Pinkie though this one doesn't seem to have the manic reality bending powers of her pink friend.

The massive library had Yuri almost drooling, she actually had to be shaken out of her stupor when she was almost left behind after learning that there was also a whole wing dedicated to myths and legends, the others were sure that if they hadn't grabbed her, she would have just lived in the library the rest of the day.

Monika, Sayori and MC are enigma's too Sunset, unlike the other two who had clear cut ambitions and made no attempt to hide them, these three seemed unsure of what they wanted, though the one thing that made Sunset's curiosity grow was the visible flinch when Sunset offered to show them around the Computer lab and Tech lab.

Ever since Sunset was purged by the elements of harmony she was very acutely aware of the certain mannerisms and behavior ticks in people, Sayori's made her concerned because the way she drew into herself and was just watching the foot steps of the others spoke of repressed depression or maybe self depreciation.

Sunset finally led them too The principles office, where she let them in introducing them to raven the secretary, before bidding them farewell and leaving for her own class, The girls each took a seat while they waited, they didn't say a thing to each other they'd have plenty to talk about when they got home.

Celestia called them all in, she was used to having the Rain booms in her office so she could easily manage the five new students, the paperwork was easy enough for them too work through, the girls all took whatever appealed to them the most, however they also made sure that at least one of them were in the same class as Sayori, except MC who took two.

With the whole process completed, they handed in the paperwork and were bidden a farewell by Celestia, they finally made out the doors, when they breathed a sigh of relief, being alive was an exhausting experience, especially when you actually have to use your hands instead of the game giving a voice prompt.

What they weren't told is that despite being healthy in the sense of the bodies working in the way their supposed to, they were not use to the energy drained needed to actually use them, so they simply went off to their separate rooms, Yuri was the one who got dibs this time on working out MC's sleeping arrangement.
