High school. Famous for sucking to high heavens, where relationships usually only last a few months. I had been dreading it ever since I started hearing rumors, but I thought it was fine. The schoolwork was still easy, and the only people who acknowledged my existence were the teachers and a few friends I had gathered over the years. Cry and I were still practically attached at the hip, but we still had the occasional quarrel. For example, which pony was best pony. "It's totally Fluttershy!" He always sided with the timid pegasus.
"Dude, Princess Luna is way cooler!" He'd always scoff, and we'd continue our debate until we both decided that Delsa was best pony.* One day, we heard someone crash into something and cry out in pain. "Who's that?" Cry shrugged as I walked off. "Useless imbecile." He laughed, then started following me. I found a girl about our age fallen in the hallway. " Are you alright, miss..." I held my hand out, and she pulled herself up.
"Twilight Sparkle. And yes, I'm okay." Cry and I stared at her for a bit.
"So trippy..." I agreed with Cry there. We had watched Equestria girls just yesterday. "Are you high?" I burst out in a fit of giggles, then hearty laughter, snorting occasionally. "Are you?" This made me laugh harder. I probably looked like I was dying, I was laughing so hard. He knocked on my head. "Yep, she's high." At this point, half of the school was watching, some of them laughing along, simply because they knew something really funny had to have happened. "Elly, are you in need of medical attention? How many fingers am I holding up?" I laughed for about five more minutes, with the occasional breathing break. Twilight just stood there, clueless as to what was going on.
"Did I miss something?" Cry stared at her like she was a whackjob while I regained my composure. "What?"

After a ridiculous amount of questioning, we discovered that this chick either really was Twily, or just a really hardcore brony. We hung out for a few hours, before running out of (legal) stuff to do. "So, what now?" Both Cry and Twily shrugged, completely out of ideas. "Does anyone know how to play 'Parcheesi?'" They gave me weird looks. " I'm guessing that's a 'no,' then?"
