//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Perfect Boy Does Not Exist // by Pinkiemlp97 //------------------------------// Another day of classes, the girls were divided. On some occasions they had extra classes like workshops. Rainbow Dash had sports classes, Pinkie Pie had baking, Applejack had carpentry. As for the last three, they were free, they only stayed to wait for their friends to finish their classes. Twilight went to the library, Fluttershy was on her way to cheer up Rainbow, and Rarity was in the locker hallways looking at herself in the mirror applying lipstick. Rarity already finished her beauty session, she closed her locker, but when she took a step she fell to the ground, she raised her head to know the reason. “snips and snails!!” Rarity shouted from the ground. "Ups, I'm sorry" “Trixie asked us for something.” The two continued on their way. “Idiots,” Rarity complained quietly, still on the ground. A person passing by in the hallway approached her. “Miss, let me help you,” said an unknown boy, offering his hand. Rarity accepted her hand to stand up, then brushed off her clothes. “Thank you,” she thanked the boy. She looked at him in more detail and she was surprised at how elegant she looked. He has green eyes, slightly tanned skin and brown hair with a classic cut, a side part and slightly longer top area. Blue eyes and skin. Her outfit consisted of a white rolled-up sleeve shirt without a tie, and a formal navy blue sleeveless vest that matched her black pants and shoes. Are you okay miss? “Yes, thank you once again for earlier. But you don't have to call me miss." “What do you think my lady?” “That sounds more charming,” Rarity said sighing as she played with her hair. “Although I wish you would call me that, my name is Rarity.” “Nice to meet you, my name is Radiant Sapphire,” the boy said as he bowed. “Even her name sounds charming,” thought the dressmaker. “How come she hasn't seen you here before?” “I recently came to the city with some friends and we signed up for Canterlot Hight,” Sapphire explained. “As I am new, I was hoping to find someone who could guide me better and luckily I found you, madam.” “But how flattering you are, it would be a pleasure to take you around the school.” “Perfect, you go first my lady,” she said, raising a hand as a sign for Rarity to go first. Fluttershy was on her way to see rainbow dash's training. She is her best friend and she usually sees her often or when she can, but for the most part she is present. This time she took a little while, as she stayed talking to Rarity. When she was going to turn to enter the court, she saw a boy a little further along the hallway, he was kneeling on the floor looking for something in his backpack. In a way that caught her attention, but she didn't know whether to come and see or not, since it's none of her business. He was about to continue on his way, but then he heard the sound of an animal that seemed injured. He did not hesitate to approach. “Shhh… don't worry, you're fine,” the boy said with a sweet voice. “Um…excuse me, did I hear a kitten?” The boy looked at Fluttershy and then around him. "I know that animals are not allowed in, but when I saw him on the street I couldn't see him so alone," he said, holding on to the side so that Fluttershy could see him. She also knelt down to see it in more detail. “Ohh… he's so small, I'd say he's about two months old,” she said, shocked, seeing the kitten. “I know and it seems that he has a wound on one of his paws,” said the worried boy. "Let's see?" said Fluttershy, taking the kitten and touching each of his paws carefully, until the cat meowed in pain. “Oh sorry, kitten.” She started to caress him and then looked at the boy. “It was nice of you not to leave him alone,” she said with a smile. The boy just smiled back, then they both stood up. “Do you know any vets to take him to? “I just transferred and I don't know the city” “I work on one, I could take it and tend to it” Fluttershy suggested. “Could he go? I want to confirm that this kitten is safe.” “Okay, but it would be on the way out since now I'm going to see a friend,” she said, returning the cat to the boy. “Don't worry, I can wait,” said the boy, “or, rather, we can wait,” waving one of the kitten's healthy paws in farewell. That made Fluttershy laugh. When she was going to start walking she stopped. “You didn't tell me where it is.” “Oh sorry, look it's here,” she said, taking out a notebook, writing the address and her name. “Thank you,” she said, taking the paper and reading it. “I'll see you there, Fluttershy.” “See you around, huh?” “Whisperin Wind” she introduced herself. “I know, it's very long, but to shorten it just tell me Wind.” “See you later… um… Wind” she said in a low tone. Before turning around to enter the court, she got a better look at the boy's appearance. Wind had a yellow complexion, gray eyes and white hair. His hairstyle was similar to a bowl cut but not as straight, longer and less shaved on the sides. His outfit consisted of a white t-shirt, a light green sweater on his shoulders, jeans and white sneakers. “I don't take up any more minutes of your time, goodbye Fluttershy” he turned around and left. Seeing that he was leaving, he decided to enter the field. While training, Fluttershy expected to find Rainbow making a basket and then brag about how brilliant she was, instead he found her friend who seemed a little upset so he decided to approach her. Is something wrong dash? “Nothing, just this guy came in and disrupted training” I answered pointing to a boy on the field. “Are you going to stop bothering me or are you going to finally pass the ball to me?” She said angrily, to a black-haired boy who was approaching “You're hard, you know,” the black-haired boy said as he rolled the ball on one finger. "That?!" Rainbow exclaimed. "It's new? "I've never seen it before," Fluttershy commented. “That's how it seems and the first place that comes to mind when you show up on your first day is here,” Rainbow said, crossing her arms. A few minutes ago Rainbow Dash was bouncing the ball, she avoided anyone who got in her way, when she was about to reach the basket one of her teammates was about to take the ball from her, she turned around and made the basket. “I almost stole it from you,” Lyra said. “You were… like that,” Rainbow said, showing her index fingers and thumb almost touching. “Next time I'll make it,” she said confidently. “Where was the ball?” “Sorry, I was distracted when you made the shot, I didn't realize where it bounced,” Lyra apologized. The girls looked around until they saw a direction. The ball was near a boy who had not noticed him being there before. The boy had light green skin, cherry eyes. He has a black high fade ombre hairstyle. His outfit consisted of an almost tight-fitting black T-shirt, with a white sleeveless jacket with the zipper open and the collar raised, black pants and finally some white sneakers. “Mister muscles, can you give me the ball back?” Rainbow said to the boy The boy bent down to take the ball, he approached the court, but instead of addressing the girls he passed by, starting to bounce the ball and scoring a basket. “Not bad, now can you pass it to me?” Once again he took the ball, he did as he was going to return it to her, he smiled sideways and threw it into the air, when he was falling he took it before Rainbow could take it. “Very funny pretty boy” Rainbow was already starting to get upset. “It's not my fault you're not so fast,” the boy finally spoke. What did you say?! “uhhh it's coming hard” said one of her classmates They all knew they couldn't mess with Rainbow Dash's inferiority Present “And that happened. He still doesn't want to give it back to me” Rainbow finished telling “I see,” said Fluttershy. “And where is the teacher? "Maybe she can... I don't know... make him go away," Fluttershy said, lowering her voice at the suggestion. “I leave myself in charge of this class” She answered still with his arms crossed, he saw that the boy was going to speak “and now what are you going to say?” said rolling his eyes "How about this? "If you steal it from me, I'll give it back to you," he suggested. "Made. In case you don't know, I'm the best here, so it will be difficult for you." “You didn't just show it” Rainbow made a face of annoyance. “You caught me off guard, now get ready pretty boy.” “Okay rainbow girl.” “My name is Rainbow Dash, don't call me by any other name.” “I didn't think it was fair that you were the only one calling others by nicknames,” he said with a half smile. “My name is Bolt lightning.” Rainbow didn't say anything about it because of her presentation, she just prepared herself on the court to take the ball away from him. Lightning walked towards the court and stood in front of her. “Is anyone going to blow the whistle?” Fluttershy asked, seeing that they were in position, but no one was starting the challenge. “I'll do it,” Lyra offered. “Ready here we go” he put the whistle in her mouth and blew it. Pinkie Pie was in the baking workshop making a cake. She felt a little sad because on this occasion the teacher asked to make groups of two, but the class was odd so she was left alone. She was focused on making the cake that she didn't realize that the teacher was going to the door letting a boy in. "Are you Pinkie Pie?" asked a boy with green curly hair. “Yes, who are you, your stranger?” Pinkie said changing her expression to a smile. “My name is Candy Swirl, they told me you were the one she should partner with.” Candy had a pink complexion, green curly hair almost similar to her eyes, only they were cyan. Her outfit consisted of a light blue shirt, on top of it a hooded sweatshirt, darker blue than the shirt (the zipper is open), black pants and converse of the same color. “Ahhh!!” I express excitedly, “I'm always happy to see someone new!” “Me too,” Candy said with a smile. “Do you want us to start from scratch with the recipe?” Pinkie asked with a grimace. “And waste that mixture? Never" “That's what I thought,” Pinkie said with a smile. “Then let's continue,” Candy suggested. Applejack was in her carpentry workshop making something very simple a shelf. He stopped when he saw the teacher enter with a blue-haired boy. This blue-haired boy had a medium haircut hairstyle. He had blue eyes and a white complexion. He was wearing a cowboy shirt buttoned (except for the two buttons on his collar) and rolled up, brown pants and shoes almost the same color. “Students, I know that we are half an hour away from the end of the workshop, but I want to introduce you to a new student. Please introduce yourself” the teacher spoke. “My name is Rough Country, I hope we get along well,” the boy introduced himself, then looked at everyone until he stopped her gaze on Applejack, looking at her flirtatiously. "Great, another boy who, because he's cute, thinks he'll conquer everyone, including me." Applajack thought rolling his eyes then continued with his work. Twilight was in the library, she was about to finish reading a book to meet the girls. “Twilight, when are we going to do something other than just read?” Spike asked, hiding under the table. “Shhh… they're going to listen to you and you have to put up with it,” he said quietly. “I thought you would do something else.” “I don't know how you convinced me to bring you to school,” Twilight said, shaking her head. “I didn't want to be left behind for another outing,” Spike said. “You could easily carry me everywhere in your backpack.” “I'm not your slave,” he said, taking his backpack and opening it for Spike to enter. After that he went to the librarian “Excuse me, do you have the book The Future of the Mind?” twilight asked “Yes, I have it,” said the librarian. “Great thing- “But they already asked for it.” "That?! “Shhhhh…” the librarian said with her index finger near her lips. “Sorry, who asked for it?” “The boy over there,” she answered, pointing to a boy who was leaning against the wall reading the book. The boy had a light blue complexion, violet eyes, and magenta hair styled almost emo to the side. He is wearing a long-sleeved gray button-down shirt (but he wears them rolled up a little), white pants like his sneakers. Twilight approached the boy, he seemed focused on reading so she turned around, but before she started walking, she heard the boy close the book. “The Future of the Mind, reveals the amazing research being carried out in the best laboratories around the world, all based on the latest advances in neuroscience and physics, including recent experiments in telepathy, mind control…” Said the boy to Twilight who turned to look at him as he spoke. “Eh… well the mind is an easy place to manipulate, even if some people don't believe it, that's why we have to be on alert in case someone wants to get into your mind.” “And you would realize that? the boy asked. “If someone knows well what it is and how that perfect form of mental domination is achieved… it would be difficult” “If you have some resistance to it and preserve our freedom. By clinging to our principles, it would be a possibility to disengage ourselves from the mental domain." The boy seemed to look at her with a little disbelief at what was said. “Who knows” was the only thing he answered. He walked towards her handing her the book. “Weren't you reading it?” “I had already finished it, I was just giving it a second look,” he explained. “Tell the librarian that Brain Storm returned the book,” he said and then left. “That was a very strange talk,” Twilight thought. He didn't give it any importance and went to the librarian. But something told her that it wasn't going to be the last time she would meet Brain Storm.
