Canterlot City, downtown apartments, 6:30 A.M.
'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BE-'
A small hand would silence the alarm clock as a small girl with pink hair and in cat pajamas would look over at the bed.
"Skylar, wake up you're going to be late for your first day." Said the girl, then from the bed, a body would rise from the blankets, revealing a teen with very messy brown hair. This is Skylar Storm.
"Morning Lillie, how's my little sis?" Skylar said with his eyes open a little, though Lillie Storm, Skylar's little sister, wasn't about to have this as she had a stern face on her.
"Maybe if you weren't staying up past your bedtime editing your deck, then maybe I would've been in a better mood." She spoke, causing the teen to slump his head down.
"Well sorry, I can't help it. You know how I am when I edit decks." He explained. She would sigh as she would head out of his room.
"Breakfast is ready, better get it before it gets cold." She would say before walking out of his room. Skylar would sigh before looking over at his desk, that had a deck on it. He would get up before walking over and picking the deck up. He would smile at it before looking at a box that had a picture on it.
"Wish me luck on my first day, mom and dad." He would say before placing the deck down and walking out of his room.
7:30 A.M.
After eating his breakfast, taking a shower and getting ready, he would look at himself at a mirror. He had his hair sideways to have them not in his eyes, he would be wearing a white shirt with an image of a monster on it. Over it, he would be wearing a blazer that had the sleeves up towards his elbows. And a pair of blue jeans and black and white shoes to round it up. On his jeans, a deck box would be present as he would place his deck in it.
"Looking good Skylar." He said to himself before grabbing a pair of keys, a helmet and his backpack before heading his way out the door, with his sister following suite. Skylar would lock the door of their door before looking at his sister.
"You got the other key?" He would question her, she would answer by revealing the key. He would smile before giving his sister a hug.
"I'll see you around sis. Stay safe." he would say to her before kissing her on the forehead and heading down to the garage, where a blue bike would be present. Grabbing a key and putting his helmet on, he would get on the bike before starting it up.
"Canterlot High School, here I come." He would say before revving his bike up and zooming out of the garage and onto the open streets.
Canterlot High School, 7:50 A.M.
Skylar would arrive at the high school, parking his bike in the parking lot before taking the key out and heading inside the school. While in the school, he would see multiple kids talking to each other, copying off notes, and playing duel monsters. Then, Skylar would get a surprise from behind.
"Good morning, I take it your Skylar?" Said a voice, Skylar would turn around to see a tall woman with long, flowing, colorful hair that almost reached to the ground.
"Yes, I take it your principal Celestia?" Skylar asked, with the women nodding to his question. She seems to be happy for a new student to transfer to her school.
"Indeed I am, please come to my office." She said before walking in her office with Skylar following her inside.
In the office, Celestia would grab a folder before looking over it. She would then look at him as she would place the folder down onto her table.
"Mr. Storm, I'm always happy to have new students here at CHS. But, to have a student from another high school whose dueling record is astonishing, it really catches my intention. But tell me, why did you want to transfer too here? I've heard Cloudsdail High was good." She would question with Skylar rubbing the back of his head. He would admit it was a fun school with a ton of great people. But, his reason of leaving was something else as he would state.
"Well, my dad has always said that it's always great explore new avenues when your still young." The principal would nod at her new student's response, before she would almost shed a tear. But, she quickly got a hold of herself.
"Well Mr. Storm, I'm sure you'll love it here at CHS. While it may not offer as much as Cloudsdale has currently, I can assure you that you'll love it here." She says before handing him his scheduled which he took. Seems as if he didn't catch that she was about to shed a tear.
"Thank you for your time. Remember, my door is always open." She added with Skylar nodding before leaving her office. Once he left, Celestia would look back at the folder before she would pick it.
"A brother and a sister, growing up without the aid of their parents. How sad." She would say before placing folder back where she got it. She would then look at a picture on her desk, which had herself, her sister, a woman and a man. She would walk over to it before picking the picture up.
"Why and how did you two vanish from us? Ryker, Evry..." She said in a sad tone as a single shed of tear would fall from her cheek.
CHS, Cafeteria, 12:00 P.M.
After doing his first 2 classes, Skylar would be in the cafeteria with a plate full of food. He would be walking around for somewhere to sit, which didn't take long since there was an empty table ahead of him. He would sit there was prepared to eat his lunch. Until....
"Who dares sit at the table of the great and powerful Trixie!?" Shouted a voice, Skylar would turn around to see a girl with white hair, staring down at him.
"Uhhh, may I help you?" He would question the girl, with her being taken aback at him before shouting.
"What!? Who are you and why haven't you heard of the great and powerful Trixie!" She shouted at him, with his hair flapping by her voice. All the while covering his ears. "Ouch! are you trying to make me go deaf or something?!" He shouted back while massaging his ears. They then had short staring contest before Skylar would say.
"Listen great and powerful deaf maker, if you want me to move, I'll move. Simple as that." Skylar then grabs his stuff and walked away, with Trixie huffing before sitting at her seat. He then looked at back at her before he looked away again before saying.
"Man, what's her problem? it's a lunch seat, everyone seats at them." He then see an empty table up ahead. He would hurry there before sitting down at it. After finishing his lunch, he would pull out his deck from his deck box before fanning it. He would look over the cards he has placed into this deck before nodding and placing them back into the box. Just then the bell rang, meaning lunch was over. Skylar would grab his backpack before heading out of the cafeteria. As he was walking in the halls, something would catch his eye. He would walk to the item that caught his eye.
"CHS Duelist Ranking? Cool" He would look over the rankings, seeing that someone named Sunset Shimmer was the top duelist of the school as she would be followed by 4 other students. Applejack in 2nd, Rainbow Dash in 3rd, Pinkie Pie in 4th, and in 5th was the person he just meet, with that familiar voice ring in his ears.
"Ha! I'm in the top 5! I'll show Sunset whose more worthy of being the top duelist here!" Skylar would look over to see Trixie next to him. Then, he would smile before saying.
"Top 5 huh? Not bad. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier. I'm Skylar Storm." He would extend his hand to her. While hesitant, she would shake his hand. Then, at the corner of her eye, she the sees his deck box on his jeans.
"What's this, the great and powerful Trixie has spotted a deck. You must be a duelist then." Skylar looked at his deck box before grabbing it.
"Yep, I so happened to be Rank 1 back at Cloudsdail High before transferring here." He explained with a smile on his face, with Trixie having her jaw hang open.
"You? The top duelist from another school? Now you've gotten Trixie's attention. We have a duel arena here, if your as tough as you say you are." Skylar looked up at Trixie, he was now grinning.
"If I don't know better, I think your challenging me to a duel. Very well, I accept your challenge." Trixie smirked before turning and walking away.
"The Gym, after school, see you then." Skylar then smiled, his first day here and he got challenged to a duel. 'This will be fun' He thought.
After school, Gym, 3:30 PM
It was finally the end of the school day, almost every student was heading back home to relax or do homework. Keyword being almost, as some of the students stayed behind to watch the upcoming duel. Every student was making predictions on who was going to win, 5th ranked duelist of CHS Trixie, or Newcomer but rumored top student of Cloudsdail High Skylar Storm? Just then, both duelist would enter the gym. Upon seeing what was infront of him, Skylar was awestruck by the presence of the arena. The arena in question was like how the Duelist Kingdom arenas in Pegasus's Castle looked like.
"Amazed? Well, I was amazed as well back when I started here. But enough talk, let's get ready." Trixie said as she grabbed her deck from her deck box before placing it down on the table with Skylar doing the same thing. Then, Principal Celestia entered the gym, standing in the middle of the arena.
"For this duel, I'll be the judge for today. Now, Duelist Standby" she started as Trixie and Skylar drew their starting hands.
"Get set, and...." She continued as Trixie and Skylar would shout out..
"DUEL!"
