Cutie High School
The Cutie Mark Crusaders
The girls were on their way to the school now, each of them wearing the clothes from yesterday that Twilight had washed. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were racing a head as they always did while Ditzy Doo trailed behind the rest of them. She shuffled her hand around in her bag and took out her yellow and grey mobile phone. Her fingers moved across the touch screen as she dialed in Dinky Doo's mobile number. On Dinky's end the phone hummed a tune that sounded like 'My Little Pony' but more 8-bit sounding. Barely feeling the vibration in her pocket, Dinky picked up her purple and yellow phone, flipped the screen open and saw that it was Ditzy calling. Immediately she pressed the 'Pick up' button, put the device to her ear and said "Derpy! Aren't you suppost to be at school by now?" Ditzy Doo smiled as she heard the words 'Derpy.' It was the nickname Dinky had given her, and she found it less offensive than Ditzy. Other people had picked up on it and had started calling her 'Derpy Hooves' but she didn't want them to know she liked it...of course she didn't like being called 'Hooves' though.
"No, it's actually quite early. I'll pick you up from school today. I have some spare change in my pocket," Ditzy Doo put her hand in her right pocket and shuffled around, touching the ridges in the coins. "So I can buy you a muffin if you like. I need to catch up now, gotta go!" Before Dinky could reply Ditzy hung up and stuffed the phone back into her bag after turning it off. Ditzy had noticed two girls who were walking side by side and put her phone away to make sure she wouldn't be distracted if they were to take notice of her. The girl on the left had turquoise and white hair, and the other girl to the right of her had dark pink and blue hair. The two had noticed Ditzy but just walked on by, barely taking notice to her strange eyes. "Wait for me!" Ditzy waved at the 6 who had already reached the school gates. Small puffs of dust trailed behind Ditzy as she ran after her new made friends while they stood at the school doors, waiting for her.
"Come on, Ditzy!" Rainbow Dash shouted cheerfully at Ditzy who was now at the school doors. All 7 of them walked into the school and lined up for registration. "Urg," Rainbow grunted impatiently. "C'mon line. Hurry up!" Eventually the line actually did 'hurry' up and it was time for the 7 to tick off their names and get back to their lessons. "I need to go see Blaze Heart, don't wanna be late! She told me to come to her office today. Number 169 on floor 4." Excitedly Rainbow Dash ran over to the stairs and ran up them, listening to the relaxing tinkle under her feet. The sound was quite satisfying and encouraged her to continue up the long flight of stairs.
Fluttershy sat down by the tree she had been near the day before and waited for Angel to come out and play. The small transparent screen appeared in front of her, shocking her slightly. Fluttershy noticed not only a screen had appeared but so had a pair of clip on transparent yellow wings. "Well dear? Aren't you going to put them on?" The lady on the screen said as Fluttershy reached her hand out slowly to the pair of transparent wings. Hesitantly Fluttershy stood up and buckled them around her waist, feeling much lighter than before.
"Umm...this is odd." Fluttershy turned to face the lady on the screen while she just told her to concentrate. The lady had told her to try and move to wings without touching them with her arms, and that she must pretend they're attached to her. Immediately Fluttershy closed her eyes and concentrated on nothing but the wings. A few pants of struggle were heard from her, but eventually the wings flapped gently, lifting her gradually into the air. Shocked, she opened her eyes only to see the ground below her, but her feet weren't...rested on it. "Ahh! Get me down from here, someone!" No one could hear Fluttershy because of how quiet her voice seemed to be at that time, but she decided to be brave and attempt to control where she was going.
Gently, Fluttershy leaned forward slightly, resulting in that she moved forward instead of upwards. Below her Fluttershy noticed Angel who was looking up at her happily. "Angel bunny!" Angel merely waved at her while she went higher and higher. Other critters came out and stood next to Angel, watching Fluttershy attempt to fly. Her facial expressions showed that she was obviously scared. "I wanna be at home! Locked in my closet with my teddy bear!" She cried, slowly descending down to the grass floor.
"When...does it...end!" Rainbow Dash ran up the stairs, panting as she went. After about half an hour of running and sweat, she reached the door to her teacher's office. Hesitantly Rainbow Dash knocked on Blaze Heart's, thick, wooden door. Slowly the door began to open, revealing a room which floor was made out of clouds. Blaze Heart came to greet Rainbow Dash and shook her by the hand.
"Ah, Miss. Rainbow Dash. Good to see you." A warm smile appeared on Blaze's face as Rainbow Dash noticed what she was holding in her hands. A button of some sort. She looked at it curiously, tempted to press it without asking her teacher's permission, but she resisted the urge to. Instead, she waited for Blaze to say something. Blaze had noticed Rainbow Dash's slightly confused look and giggled at herself. "I'm sure you're wondering what this is." She paused, gathering everything she would say to explain for Rainbow. "This is...a strange device. It is to be handeld carefully and should only be used by you, Rainbow."
"But what does it do?" Rainbow Dash questioned Blaze Heart in a confused manner. Her voice sounded slightly hoarse from not getting enough sleep the night before, resulting in it being hard for Blaze to understand what her student was saying. Eventually Rainbow Dash finished analyzing the device while she waited for her teacher's response.
"What does it do...yes, good question. When you press the button like so," Blaze Heart proceeded to press the silver button, holding it up to Rainbow Dash. "You can say if you are practising tricks or you're having a relaxation flight. Trick." Blaze projected her voice into the small microphone inserted into the button. A small pause continued until eventually a large pair of blue wings appeared in Blaze's hands. "They're all yours. Forever, even when you leave this school." Tears of joy filled Rainbow Dash's eyes as her teacher placed the feathered wings in her hands. "Put them on, Rainbow. Then i'll show you the difference between relaxation mode and trick mode."
Immediately Rainbow Dash buckled the wings onto her back and, what had happened to Fluttershy, she felt lighter than usual. "Full concentration is required. Think only of the wings, air and flight."
Ditzy Doo walked calmly over to her own patch of cloud which was a floor above Rainbow Dash's cloud. She didn't have a teacher, at least not yet. "Guess i'll just...lie down and do nothing." Ditzy already had her pair of wings stuffed in her bag, and Fluttershy had noticed them. She didn't want to mention it just in case Ditzy thought she was snooping around in her bag. A small but violent vibration came from her bag, and as soon as she felt it she knew it was her phone. Instead of being excited and picking it up, she just rolled her eyes, sat up and rummaged through her bag for the small device. It was Dinky calling her again. Ditzy Doo yawned, put the phone to her ear and answered the call. "Dinky, aren't you suppost to be in class?"
"Nope. I need you to pick me up from school." Dinky had her bag over her shoulder and her coat stuffed into it. "Before you ask, i'm feeling sick."
"Right, okay. I'll go sign myself out of school then. This may look a little unusual when you see me though." Ditzy Doo hung up, jumped down from the cloud landing on her feet, and made her way towards the reception desk. "I need to sign out of school for a bit. I need to pick up my sister from school because she's sick." The man at the desk glared at her and mouthed the words 'Proceed to cross your name off the list.' And that's what she did. Ditzy pressed the button that she had been given and said 'Relaxed' as a pair of grey wings appeared in her hands. Their wasn't a buckle on this pair, there was just arm straps that were ajustable to size.
Ditzy slipped her arms into the straps and adjusted the size slightly smaller. She didn't even have to put her mind to flying, she seemed to just do it automatically. Sometimes she went slightly off course due to her eyes being 'lazy' but she just guessed where it was she was suppost to be going. People on the ground looked at her oddly while she just ignored them and kept on flying. Eventually Ditzy Doo arrived at her sister's school and went to the nurses office where her sister sat. "Ah, Ditzy Doo. You've come to pick up Dinky then?" Ditzy nodded as her sister climbed on her back. "I'll sign Dinky out at the office for you then." Ditzy just smiled in thanks as she left the room and went out of the school again through the emergency exit.
"Woah, sis! When did you grow wings?" Dinky asked in delight.
"Well, my new school gave them to me. They said I should practise flying as bubble practise. Strange really." Ditzy chuckled as she took flight with her sister holding onto her. Dinky admired the scenery from up above, not expecting to be taken to Ditzy's school. When they landed Ditzy began to explain to her little sister: "I can't just stay out of school for the whole day or...bad things will happen. So you need to join me for the day." Dinky jumped off her sister's back and held her hand tightly.
