//------------------------------// // New Beginnings // Story: Highschool Harmonies // by Yappyjack //------------------------------// A niveous feeling struck Harmony's stomach as her mother, Tabitha, pulled into a parking spot at Canterlot High. At first, Harmony had felt excited, but now she just wanted to go home and jump back into bed. Tabitha unbuckled and got out of the car, she came around and opened Harmony's door. Harmony sat there, staring at the seat in front of her, her eyes refusing to move. "Harmony...you need to get out." Tabitha said gently. Harmony shook her head violently and looked at Tabitha. "Mom...I feel sick." She said as she clutched her acing stomach. Tabitha placed her gentle hand on Harmony's forehead and smiled. "No, your just nervous." "Very..." Harmony replied. "I don't want to be bullied like at my last school Mom." "Don't worry, Vice-Princeipal Luna told me that their is no bullies at the school, and she even knows six girls that will help you get started." Tabitha replied cheerfully. "Are you sure?" Harmony asked. Tabitha nodded. "I'm sure." Harmony slowly got out of the car and looked around. "Wow! This is a big campus!" She exclaimed. Tabitha and Harmony's gazes locked on a dark blue figure approaching them. When she reached them, she smiled. "Hello, I am Vice-Principal Luna. I'm very pleased to meet you." She said. "Hello, Miss Luna! I'm Tabitha, and this is my daughter Harmony. " Tabitha replied. "Hello Miss Luna." Harmony said. "Hello Miss Tabitha, hello Harmony." Luna replied. "I suppose I had better get going so the Harmony may get started, hmm?" Tabitha said with a smile. "Oh, wait Miss Tabitha...!" Luna said. "Yes?" Tabitha replied turning around from her car. "You said that you were going to attend a new church as well, correct?" Luna asked. "Yes..." Tabitha replied. "Well then, you know the six girls that I told you about...?" Luna asked. Tabitha nodded in reply. "Well their families all go the same church, save for Sunset Shimmer, who sadly has no family, but she goes there too." "Oh good! Which Church is it?" Tabitha asked. "They go to Ponyville Baptist Church." Luna replied. "Oh! Well thank you Miss Luna, we will certainly check it out!" Tabitha said with a smile. She gave Harmony a kiss on the forehead. "Good-bye honey. Love you." "I love you too Mom. Bye!" Harmony said. She waved as her mom drove away. Harmony turned to Luna who smiled. "Now then Miss Harmony, why don't we get you settled?" "Sure..." Harmony said. Harmony and Luna walked into the large school building. Harmony saw may students, she saw boys and girls, many teenagers, a few pre-teens and Harmony suddenly felt like she would fit in here very well. Luna took Harmony to her office where Harmony had to sign her name on a few pieces of paper. By the time they were done, it was lunchtime. Luna gave Harmony her class schedules and smiled. "Would you like me to show you to the lunch room?" Luna asked. "Yes please." Harmony replied. Luna took Harmony to the lunch room, where Harmony saw so many things it made her eyes hurt ! There were so many colors of different students, it looked like a rainbow split into individual chairs! Luna took her over to a table where six girls sat. There was a girl with turquoise eyes and fiery red and yellow hair, there was a girl with royal purple hair and sapphire blue eyes, she looked like she was a princess, but Harmony seriously doubted it. There was a girl with cotton candy pink hair and sky blue eyes, Harmony guessed that part of her name had the word word 'pink' in it. There was a girl with rainbow colored hair and magenta eyes. There were two other girls, one had pink hair with turquoise eyes, and the other had blonde hair with a cowboy hat and green eyes. Harmony thought that out of all the students, this group was certainly the most colorful. "Girls! This is Harmony, I trust that you will help her get started here?" Luna said. The girls nodded and the pink one stood up and hugged Harmony "Yay! A new friend!" She exclaimed. "Pinkie Pie! Put her down." The rainbow haired girl said. The girl known as Pinkie Pie put Harmony down, but continued to hug her. Luna smiled. "I will leave her in your...capable hands." Luna looked at the fiery haired girl with a warning. The girl smiled sheepishly and nodded. Luna left and Harmony sat down next to the royal looking girl. The girl looked at Harmony and smiled. "Hello Harmony, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Rarity." The girl said. "And of corse, you already know Pinkie Pie." Rarity looked at the crazy girl. "Hello Harmony!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Let me tell you who my friends are!" Harmony nodded. "Okay..." Pinkie started. " this is Rainbow Dash!" "Hay!" Rainbow said. Harmony smiled, and Pinkie continued. "And this is Sunset Shimmer!" "Hello Harmony." The fiery haired girl said. "This is Fluttershy!" Pinkie said. "H-hello..." The girl said quietly. "It's okay Fluttershy, it's not like she's gonna bite!" Pinkie said. "This is Applejack!" "Howdy." Applejack said. "And this is...oh right, that's it!" Pinkie said with a smile. "Well...it's very nice to meet you all." Harmony said. "It's nice to meet you too Harmony, and may I just say, your eyes are gorgeous!" Rarity said. "Thank you!" Harmony replied. "Are they color contacts, or are they natural?" Rarity asked. "Natural!" Harmony replied with a smile. "Wonderful!" Rarity said. "They are pretty..." Fluttershy said quietly. "Thank you, it's just the way the Lord made me!" Harmony said. "Oh! Speaking of, do you go to church?" Rarity asked. Harmony nodded. "Yes, Vice-Princeipal Luna told my Mom what church you guys all go to, and we're going to check it out!" Harmony said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Then we'll get to hand out more then ever!" "Yeah, it's pretty cool." Harmony said. "You know...there's something strange about these girls." Harmony thought. "It must be just me...because some how they feel... Magical...
