I trotted around to the theatre i hopes to meet Peachy. As I walked along the grounds, I noticed a large number of things that I hadn't noticed yesterday. There were tons of other, much less major subjects to study at the school. I saw buildings that were for studying things like Dressmaking, orchestral creation, and other minor subjects.
Now that I took the time to walk around, I noticed that we had a sports complex for our apparently "Well-Known" hoofball and baseball teams. There were black and red banners hanging around the stadiums, as well as walls showing off our recent national and regional championships.
“Wow...” I said to myself as I gazed at the school’s accomplishments. “The last six years in a row we’ve won regional championships.”
“This year will be different,” I looked over to see a colt, about my size, approaching me. He had a grey coat and mixed blue and light blue hair that were accompanied by green eyes.
“What do you mean?” I questioned him.
“We’re going to win the national championships for the first time in nearly ten years,” he said, pointing to our last national championship title, which happened to be ten years ago.
“What’s so different about this year?” i asked, still gazing at the wall of our hoofball team.
The colt looked over at me like I was an idiot, or at least that’s what i got from it. He pulled out a slip of paper from one of his saddlebags and read aloud;
“New freshman sizes...we have three that are 4 foot 7, two that are 4 foot 8 and six that are 5 even, that’s almost twice our height....uh, what’s your name?” he paused and looked away from his paper towards me.
“Scootaloo,” I answered plainly.
“Nice to meet you Scootaloo, my name is Pixel Sync.” he held out a hoof to me, I shook it before he continued.
“I’m from the videography department, I help with the behind the scenes work, anything to do with effects, directing, you name it!”he placed the papers back in his saddlebag, “I have the info for the hoofball players because I’m the one who videos them for the school’s sports channel.”
“Oh that’s cool.” This poy was very interesting, weird and quirky, but interesting.
“So what do you do?” he asked, giving me his attention.
“I uh, I’m a dancer.” I said, how do i really answer that question? I haven’t even been to one class yet.
“Sounds interesting! I just have four left hooves.” Pixel wobbled around for emphasis.
“Yeah, I haven’t really been to a class yet though.” I said, rubbing my foreleg on the ground.
“Ah, so you’re a first year! Don’t worry, i’m only a second year.” Pixel said, producing a camera from his other saddlebag.
“What’s that for?” I pointed to his video camera.
“I’m getting some shots for the intro to the game next week. I gotta have something for the pre game time.” he aimed the camera at the top of the wall and panned down to the last of the school’s achievements.
“Next week? School hasn’t even started yet!” I said, dumbfounded.
“For you, the hoofball team has been working for nearly two months by now, I have for about three weeks, and the drama department has been for a week or two, oh and I also help over there as well.” Pixel put the lens cap on his camera and put it back in his bag.
“What do you do over there?” I asked curiously.
“I work with the actors mainly, introducing the new ones to the public, I’ve got a few to do today, perhaps you’d like to join me?” Pixel looked over at me as he offered.
“I don’t know, i have to meet my friend Peachy for lunch.” I said sadly, Pixel’s ears perked up.
“Hold on a moment! Peachy King?” he asked, his eyes wide.
“Yeah, why do you ask?” I questioned.
“She’s first on the list for today, in fact I better get over to the drama department or else I’ll be late,” Pixel started to walk off, but stopped as he remembered me, “Wanna come?”
“Yeah, i was on my way there already.” I said as I trotted over to him.
“Awesome,” Pixel said as the two of us started walking over to the theatre.
We walked in through the back entrance of the theatre, which was through the makeup and set department.each of which had its own studies. Pixel and I arrived backstage just as Peachy was exiting. She noticed the two of us and ran over and gave me a hug.
“What are you doing here Scootaloo?”
“I followed Pixel, he said he had to like introduce you to the school or something,” I said, gesturing to Pixel.
“Oh yeah!” Peachy cheered, “Why don’t we do that right after lunch, I’m starving!” Peachy rubbed her stomach as it growled.
“I’m afraid not, I have to do this now.” Pixel said as he took out his video camera.
“Are you sure?” Peachy hoped.
“Yeah, we’ll film over in the lighting room.” Pixel pointed to a well lighted room just out of the theatre.
“Alright then.” Peachy said and the three of us walked over to the room as Pixel set up.
Peachy ran her hooves through her mane in an attempt to straighten it before she was on camera. Pixel was messing with the settings on his camera as Peachy was doing so. As the pair finished, she sat down on a couch that was placed at the back of the room.
“Sorry Scootaloo, you can’t be in here while i’m filming, it’s in the rules.” Pixel said, putting on a straight face.
“Alright,” I said as i closed the doors.
I heard the filming start as Peachy talked about herself and the projects she would be involved in this year. After five minutes of filming, the two of them walked out of the room, Pixel placed the camera in his bag, and Peachy walked up to me,
“Great, now let’s get some lunch!”
