A month had passed after Sunrise had attended his first glee club meeting. He had already started to develop a friendship with Sonata and was starting to become accepted by a few people in the club. On this particular day, Sunrise entered the cafeteria with his bag lunch in hand and sat down next to Sunrise and the rest of the glee club.
“So Sunrise,” said Sonata, “do you plan on singing any songs at all during glee club?”
“Well,” Sunrise said, “I think I found…” However, he didn’t get the chance to say what he found. At that moment, an arm was wrapped around him. Sunrise looked up to see that the arm belonged to Sunset Shimmer.
“Hey, sweetie,” Sunset Shimmer said, “Haven’t seen you in a long time. How about we leave these losers and go have some real fun.”
“Actually, Sunset Shimmer,” said Sunrise, “I was actually talking to these guys. Maybe some other time?”
At first, Sunset looked angry and disgusted by Sunrise’s rejection. After a few moments though, she seemed calm and relaxed. “Fine,” she said, “perhaps later, then.” However, when she sat down at her table with Iron Will, Snips, Snails, Gilda, and Trixie, she was livid. “What does that idiot think he is?” She said through gritted teeth, “Saying that to me in front of those losers! No matter, I know how to deal with him.”
“How do you plan on doing that?” Iron Will asked.
Sunset Shimmer looked at Iron Will with a sly smile. “Funny you should ask, Iron Will,” she said, “because you’re going to be part of it.”

Caramel was cleaning out his locker and getting ready for his least favorite class: P.E. He didn’t like because of fear of sweat and getting dirty; he had helped his friends Big Macintosh and Applejack countless times at Sweet Apple Acres. His dislike for P.E. came from the fact that he was weak in strength.
“Ah well,” he thought, “might as well get it done and over with.”
As he closed the door to his locker, Caramel suddenly felt as though someone was behind him. He turned around and came face to face with Iron Will. Caramel gulped in his throat.
“Say Caramel; we’re good buddies, right?” said Iron Will in a mischevious tone of voice.
“I-I guess so, Iron Will.” Caramel said with a sense of nervousness in his voice.
“And do you know what friends do for each other?” asked Iron Will, “They let each other borrow stuff. So how about you lend me some money for tomorrow’s lunch?”
Not wanting to start a fight, Caramel reached for his wallet. Before he could grab it, he felt like rebelling against his tormentor. For years, he had bullied by others because of his weak physique. This time, he was not going to be intimidated by Iron Will.
“Sorry, Iron Will. You’re not my friend; you’re just a bully. And there is no way in hell that I’m gonna--*ugh*”
Caramel didn’t get to finish his sentence, as Iron Will had decided to swing his fist into his stomach. Will then picked up Caramel and started pummeling him in the face. All Caramel could do was close his eyes and wait for it to be over. Just then, Caramel felt Iron Will’s grip loosen. Weakly, he opened his eyes and saw someone sitting on top of Iron Will with one knee on each of Iron Will’s arm. The student turned his head to Caramel, who saw that it was Sunrise.
“You okay, Caramel?” Sunrise asked with concern.
“I’m good.” said Caramel in a raspy voice.
“Just hang on; I’ll take care of you in a second.” Sunrise stated before turning his attentions to Iron Will. “Alright, you dumb oaf. Who told you to attack Caramel? And don’t play dumb with me; I know you’re too idiotic to think on your own. Now who gave the order?”
“N-Nobody told me to; I-I did it on my own accord.” insisted Iron Will.
“Wrong answer.” said Sunrise through gritted teeth. As he spoke, he dug his knee into Iron Will’s arm. Iron Will wince as the knee pressed hard against his muscle.
“Now,” Sunrise said angrily, “I’m going to count to three. If I don’t get an answer from you, you’re going to be left with a broken arm. One…Two…THR-”
“IT WAS SUNSET SHIMMER!!!” Iron Will cried out, unable to take the pain any longer. “She told me to attack one of the glee club members to make you knew to not mess with her!!!”
Sunrise lifted himself off of Iron Will, who clutched his arm and curled up on the floor.
“Tell Sunset Shimmer to leave me and the rest of the glee club members alone. And,” said Sunrise as he stood over Iron Will, “if I catch you following her orders again, I’ll make you sorry.”
Iron Will nodded and ran down the hall, still clutching his arm and bawling like a baby. Sunrise then turned his attention to Caramel, who had a swollen check and two black eyes.
“Sorry you had to see that.” Sunrise said.
“It’s alright,” Caramel insisted, “thanks for saving me.”
Sunrise smiled and said, “No problem. Come on; I’ll take you to the nurse.”
As Sunrise lifted Caramel up and helped him to the nurse’s office, he said “Well, look on the bright side.”
“What’s that?” Caramel asked.
“At least you get to miss P.E.”
Caramel smiled; at least there was something good about this day.
