CharmingScar glanced over at the clock, seven AM. The grey coated red maned unicorn got out of bed, still a bit drowsy he made his way to the kitchen. He had a simple breakfast, took a shower and packed his books for school, once he was done he left the house and headed for school. It was a sunny day, not many clouds in the sky, a few ponies looked at him as he walked by, when he first had moved here, it felt... awkward, but over time he had gotten used to it. Well, no wonder they looked, both of his hind legs was covered with three big scars, two on the left one on the right, but the right hind leg was what usually draw most attention, when he was young, it was harder to see, but when he had gotten older he had gotten more muscles and now it looked like a good 30% of it was... just not there. He hadn’t gotten his cutiemark yet, but that didn’t really bother him, he had good grades and even with his, leg... he was one of the most athletic ponies in his class.

’‘Alright students, today we have a new member of our class, pleas welcome FireCharmer.’’ The teacher announced, a dark blue coated earthpony with a black mane.
A red coated pegasi, with a orange mane entered looked around the class, she looked around the classroom, sheepishly smiling.
’‘Why don’t you sit down next to CharmingScar over there?’’ The teacher said.
FireCharmer sat down next to him, and placed her saddlebag under the table.
The lesson started, the day was rather uneventful, like usual, four hours later there was time for lunch, CharmingScar sat down, far away from the crowd of ponies, eating his lunch in silence, he preferred sitting alone rather than sitting with his classmates.
’‘Is this seat empty?’’
CharmingScar snapped out of his thoughts, he looked up and FireCharmer stood in front of him.
’’I guess, don’t you wanna sit with the others?’’ He said.
’‘Nah, It’s to noisy there.’’ She said, giving him a weak smile.
’‘Well, I can understand that.’’ He said with a small laugh.
They had just gotten back from the gymnastics, it had been a quite athletic lesson, but to FireCharmer’s surprise, CharmingScar had won the wrestling, on the first look, it looked like he would be the one who would lose the first fight. Well, never judge a book by it’s cover. She thought to herself.
Suddenly, CharmingScar broke the silence.
’’So... when did you move to Ponyville?’’ He asked, trying to get a conversation going.
’‘A few days ago, so there is still boxes everywhere in the house.’’ She said.
’‘Well, how was the welcome party?’’ He asked, giving her a light smile.
’’It was... Wait how did you know?’’ She asked, looking at him suspiciously.
’‘Everypony gets one, I would be surprised if you didn’t get one actually.’’ He said with a light laugh.
’’I see, but she went a little bit overkill with the... party, I have to admit that.’’ She said.
’‘You better get used to it, before you know it, you will be invited to one, not even knowing the pony she launches a party.’’ He said, laughing quietly while shaking his head.
’‘Isn’t that a bit awkward?’’ She asked.
’‘Not really, if you can survive your own welcome party you can survive others without any trouble.’’ He said, glancing over at the clock. ’‘Well, we better get going, don’t wanna be late do we?’’ He said with a small smile.
Well, I guess I’ve gained a friend on my first day at this school. She thought to herself, she looked at the clock. Well, I have about four minutes until the lesson starts so I better get going. She thought to herself and left the table.

FireCharmer opened the door to her new house, she walked inside and crashed on the couch. It bad been a quite uneventful day, but what else would you expect. She closed her eyes and thought of taking a nap, but that would ruin her sleep pattern so she got up and started to prepare some dinner. After a while her thoughts slowly drifted away to CharmingScar, he didn’t seem to have many friends, he was nice and all. But under the last round of the wrestling, it had looked like he was about to lose, the other earthpony was almost sitting on him, the other ones had cheered for that red coated blue maned earthpony, but he didn’t seem to give up, and suddenly he slowly started to lift the stallion up, and threw him of, and a moment later, he had locked the other stallions forehoof behind his back. The other ponies didn’t look to surprised, but she had just been standing there, almost staring. She laughed to herself quietly. You thought you had seen it all, world proves you wrong. She thought to herself. She sat down in the chair, and started eating.

CharmingScar closed the door to the house, he walked into the kitchen and got some leftover lasagne for dinner. He put the lasagne in the microwave and turned it on, while waiting for the lasagne to warm up, he thought about what had happened today, first, he thought of the comeback in the wrestling, he was just about to lose, then the moment he had been waiting for came, one second of weakness, he had gathered all his strength and powered by the adrenaline he had been able to not only lift, but throw away the stallion on top of him. He laughed to himself. They never learn, then never learn. He thought to himself.
DING!
The lasagne was done, he took the plate out of the microwave, and placed it on the table, he sat down and started eating, he could do the homework later, but he had to go shopping soon, the food he had in the fridge wouldn't last for much longer, he made a shopping list while eating, and when he was finished he put the plate in the sink left the house and headed for the market.
