Sunset Shimmer the teen no more

The Assembly

Tuesday had arrived. Following my discovery from the previous night, I had returned to my apartment and attempted to ignore the incident by falling asleep almost immediately. I was heading to Canterlot High when I made the decision to stop and grab a small treat from Sugar Cube Corner. While I was getting my coffee, Pinkie Pie set a cupcake in front of my face.

"Are you new to town, you have to be because I know everyone who lives here?" She remarked, 'It's still the same old hyper and excited Pinkie as ever before.' I thought it odd that she wasn't with the other rainbooms yesterday, but perhaps she was ill.

"Well, you're correct that I'm new to the area." I responded calmly, "I arrived yesterday; I'm surprised your aunt didn't tell you about me." At the same time, I saw Pinkie's hair fall out and she briefly displayed a look of sadness before brightening again.

"She was probably busy we have a couple of big orders coming up soon, so she most likely forgot when she was doing most of them," As I stood up to travel to Canterlot High, Pinkie stated cheerfully. I shook my head at her, seeing that she was staying the same. It was silent, especially when Pinkie was strolling next to me with her school bag.

"So you are a student at Canterlot High I take it," I replied.

"Oh yeah I've been going there for years now, it's the best, much better than Crystal prep," She responded strongly "If i had gone to Crystal Prep, I would have been really sas, because of their strict policies and great regard for their students, practically every Canterlot student despises Crystal Prep for that reason."

I told her, plainly happy, "Well, it looks like I will be talking to you a lot more in the coming year."

"You're going to Canterlot high as well, what job did you get there, tell me," She spoke so quickly that I was briefly unable to comprehend her.

I stated firmly and calmly, "I'm the new consular," just before I saw Pinkie's hair start to fall out a little.

Before I could say anything, she hurried to the school, which was growing closer. As soon as I entered the building, I headed towards the staff room, aware that the assembly was later in the day. "Oh," she murmured regretfully, which worried me because that wasn't the reaction I was imagining.

Luna welcomed me as soon as I walked in.

It's good to see you once more. Sunny Thank you for giving Tia comfort yesterday," she said in a low voice so as not to be overheard.

"I came to her office yesterday because I wanted to confront her about it sooner rather than later, and it was not a problem," I stated, keeping my real reason a secret.

Happily, Luna remarked, "Anyway, you ready for your grand reveal at the assembly later today?"

Luna laughed to herself as I sarcastically answered, "Yeah because having to get up on stage in front of hundreds of students is going to be exciting and not make me nervous in any way."

She waved and turned to go after saying, "Well, good thing I'm not the one starting it off. Anyway, I better get going who knows how much paperwork I have left to do."

The assembly was nearing the conclusion of the news part before moving on to staff changes, and it had been two hours since my chat with Luna.

"Now as most of you know my sister had a secret leaked out by the Anon-a-miss making most of the people both scared and angry with her, knowing this she has stepped down from the consular position the person filling it, I will call them on to the stage so they can tell you about themselves" I noticed numerous pupils whispering to one another the entire time Celestia was finishing before she mentioned for me to come on stage.

The whole hall fell silent as I approached the stage and I began to speak. "Hello Canterlot High, as Principal Celestia already told you, I am the one taking over the consular position. I'm sure you have many questions, and I will answer some of these now if you would like to ask me," I said. Before I could finish, I gestured to a pupil I knew as hoops who has his hand up.

"How old are you exactly?" That question was beginning to bother me.

"I am 21 years old," I said coolly, trying not to show my irritation, and I nodded to Applejack before seeing her hand was up.

"Where are you from?"With a southern accent, she enquired.

I said to her, "I'm from Whitetail," and then I gestured to Moondancer. "This will be the last question I answer before we officially end this assembly," I said to them.

Moondancer questioned me, "How will this affect the consular timetable for Luna's regulars?" before I recognised she had to be one of Luna's regulars.

"If that is all I bid all of you a due, the consular schedule will remain the same as Lunas was," I replied politely as I made my way to my office.
