Bus Ride

Chapter 1 - Bus Ride

The road was rather quiet. No cars, no people rushing back and forth. Just a bus with a driver inside as he was trying to make conversation with the three teens currently riding.

“So Savage City High? You guys seriously came from that place?” The bus driver asked the three students in the bus.

The first was a 17-year-old girl with dark mulberry skin, a pink mohawk and aqua eyes with a faint scar over her right eye, dressed in a black T-shirt with a pink firework design on the front under a black, low-cut leather jacket, black jeans and pair of black combat boots with purple laces.

Next was a skinny 17-year-old boy with lime green skin and long, red hair. His eyes were strange as they were red with white pupils like an insect, dressed in a yellow hoodie, blue jeans and yellow and white sneakers.

Third was a 17-year-old girl with long green hair and magnolia coloured skin with purple eyes with a mole under the right. She was dressed in a white blouse under a golden overcoat, brown hakama pants and yellow boots.

The final occupant was another 17-year-old boy with brown skin and neatly combed brown hair plus green eyes. He wore a violet polo, black slacks and smart shoes as well as a long purple coat and a fedora.

“Yeah. What’s wrong?” The girl in purple  asked in a low tone.

“Nothing. Just the rumours about that place are well…insane.” The drive answered.

“Who said they were rumours?” The boy in the hat said in a smooth tone while he smiled.

“Oh you know some people…’ The driver’s eyes soon widened as he realised what he meant. ‘Wait, they are true?!”

“Eh, who knows? That would be telling.” The other boy said, his voice slightly nasally. As the other boy snickered.

“OK, but anyways? Why come to Canterlot?” The driver asked in an uneasy tone.

“We transferred to a school. Canterlot High? At least it's better than that prissy dump called Crystal Prep The other girl said in a disgusted tone.

“There was an offer to transfer to that place back at our old school and we managed to win the chance.” The fedora wearing hat added.

“Well, welcome to Canterlot. Just be careful, the city’s been taking the trip down cuckoo land recently.” The driver said as he pulled to a stop.

The three looked at each other in confusion.

“OK?” They said as they got off.

As the bus drove away, they were in front of a large building with a wrecked horse statue.

“So they are here?” The green boy said.

“That’s right, Thorax. Man will they be surprised.’ The other boy spoke then looked at the girl. ‘Hey Tempest you alright?” He asked his female companion in concern.

“I’m fine, just nervous. I mean, we haven’t really been speaking much to her lately, Capper” Tempest said in a calm tone, but one could hear the unease in her voice.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” The other girl said.

“Celaeno, we haven’t spoken to her in a long time. What if she has forgotten about us?” Tempest asked in slight worry.

“Come on, it will be alright. They won’t hold a grudge because of what happened. I mean, the last time we spoke to them was about what was going on in their school.”

“I know but I just have a feeling.” Tempest said.

“Look, we all need to go and get ready. We need to get our apartments ready and we can enjoy the rest of the weekend.” Thorax said with a smile.

Tempest let a small grin show.

“Yeah. I mean, how crazy can this place be?” She said as they made their way to their new homes.

“Hey, after everything we went through a few years ago?

Little did they know that this will start the revival of an old group. 

And this time Equestrian magic has nothing to do with it.

MEanwhile, inside a bedroom a young girl was busy getting ready for her day at school, her long indigo and pink hair flowing in the hair dryers’ wind, all the hile feeding her pet dog as she got ready.

She was totally unaware of what will happen today as she will come across people from her past. One she had nearly forgotten about.

“You know Spike, I have a feeling today is going to be interesting.” She said as she left her home, ready to meet her friends at the school.
