Rainbow Dash continued to run around the school with Aria close behind, they turned a corner around the building and a large football pitch came into view. Some of the other students were already playing, but it wasn't a very serious game and others kept joining teams in the middle of the match. Rainbow slowed right down and started to walk the rest of the way, doing warmup stretchs on the way over. Some of the students previously immersed in the game started to come over when they saw Aria, they expressions on their faces told her they weren't to happy to see her there.
"What's the deal with the siren, Crash?" Asked the first student, Aria assumed he was the leader, "We don't allow cheaters, bad sportsmanship or animals in our matches."
"I'm the sports captain, and I say she play," Rainbow told them sternly, "wether you like it or not."
"You may have been elected captain, but we didn't vote for you, Rainbow Crash." The students then left to go back into the school building.
Aria said nothing as Rainbow sprinted at full speed to the pitch, the other students had obviously gotten under her skin with the name calling, Aria decided there must be a story behind the name to make Rainbow so angry all of a sudden. Rainbow dragged Aria over to the team with the least players and started to run to a good position on the pitch. Aria had played before in her long lifetime, so she wasn't completely clueless, she ran forwards and called for the person with the ball to pass to her, but he kept running and the other team took the ball and managed to score a goal. Rainbow could see that the boy with the ball could have easily passed it to Aria, so she stormed up to him and started ranting.
"You completely ignored an opportunity to pass the ball and cost us the game because of some stupid grudge," yelled Rainbow, "If you have anything personal against any of your teammates, take it of the pitch. You're suspended until Thursday."
"She mind controlled me and made my girlfriend split up with me, she's not my teammate." The boy scowled at Aria and a few more students started to gather. "And if you're going to defend her, then you're no longer my captain."
The boy clenched his hand into a fist and tried to punch Aria, but she saw it coming and blocked it. Rainbow pushed the boy back and he stumbled back into the growing crowed. At least half the sports team were glaring, and they had Aria and Rainbow surrounded. The boy and one of his friends tried to punch Aria and Rainbow who both blocked, Aria blocked all the oncoming punches, not wanting to fight back on her first day of school. She pushed the boy over onto his back and his friends tried to help him up but as he started to stand he kicked out with his leg and his spiked football boots cut down Aria's legs. Aria went pale as she saw the blood, before her pendant broke she was immune to physical injury cause by humans, the new sensation of pain shot through her and she held back a scream as she fell to the floor. Rainbow had been beating up any student who tried to get close when she saw what happened, she continued to kick the guy with the football boots in the face until his friends pulled her of and started to beat her up too. Rainbow didn't show pain and tried to fight back, but there were to many. She had taken a lot of punches, but she wasn't backing down, luckily for her it turned out she wouldn't need to. Bulk Biceps was on his way to take the football back inside, but he saw what was happening and chased off the mob. Rainbow could just about still stand, but Aria was almost unconscious, so Bulk Biceps carried her to the nurse's office.
"Thanks, Bulk." Rainbow sat next Aria in the office as she waved to the huge fitness freak.
"Yeeeeeah," was all he said as he left the office.
"My goodness! What happened?" asked the nurse, she sounded a bit panicked, and Rainbow thought it was unprofessional.
"Got attacked by the football team, I'm fine, but you'd better check Aria," explained Rainbow, "She got kicked with football boots."
Nurse Redheart had to cut away the end of Aria's jeans to take a look at the cuts, they were deep and needed stitches. She quickly called the hospital to pick her up so she could get the cuts stitched, before cleaning and disinfecting them, fortunately they weren't to big, but she still needed stitches. Unfortunately some of the others had kicked her on the ground so she was going to have some bruises and judging by the way it was already swelling up, a bad black eye. Rainbow also had a black eye and bloodied nose but she didn't have any cuts or fractures. Rainbow looked sorrowfully at Aria as she tried to hold back tears from the stinging caused by the disinfectant. Fortunately the hospital wasn't to far from the school so it didn't take long for the ambulance to arrive. Rainbow asked Principal Celestia if she could go to if she got parent permission, Celestia agreed, so Rainbow called her dad just to check it was okay and after hearing the affirmative she got in the Ambulance too. Celestia was actually relieved that Rainbow was going too, on the way back her dad could drop Aria off at wherever she lived. Celestia didn't have any contact details for either of the sirens and she didn't want to get into any trouble.

Sunset Shimmer and Sonata were with Applejack and Rarity, helping their two younger sisters and Scootaloo come up with an idea for a new ponytube video. Sunset had seen their old ones, and she wasn't convinced they should be making anymore, especially not after the offensive comments their last video was given. Sunset always tried to give them positive feedback, she felt bad about all the times the old Sunset had made hurtful comments to try and make them hate each other.
"Why don't you try to make gaming videos?" suggested Sonata, "Even Aria watches videos like that."
"That's an awesome idea," exclaimed Scootaloo, "I could ask Rainbow to help, she's the best at Super Smash Bronies."
"Hold your horses their, Scootaloo," said Applebloom, "Mah sister said she always beats Rainbow Dash, unless she cheats. Isn't that right AJ?"
"Well ah wouldn't say always, but I'm real good at that game," Answered Applejack.
Sunset remembered how competitive the two friends got at Pinkie's sleep over, and she wasn't to sure they'd be more help than trouble to any possible game related videos the younger girls would make. Then again, it could be funny, and that would get them more likes. Sunset contemplated wether or not the help would be appreciated. While she was thinking she remembered something Pinkie Pie had said about one of her cousins, he was apparently as random as her and one of the only family members she shared any resemblance with, in terms of personality.
"Maybe you could ask Pinkie if her cousin could help you," Sunset suggested, "I heard he's a very popular ponytuber and gamer."
"We could ask him for advice and get him to star in our video," added Sweetie Bell.
"I'm afraid I know very little on the subject of video games, so I can't offer any advice, but I'll make you all some fabulous outfits for first video gaming video," Rarity said with her usual overly dramatic voice.
"You really don't have to." Scootaloo made hand motions to emphasize her point.
"Oh, but I insist, I simply must." When those words came out of Rarity's mouth it was obvious there no way to change her mind. The three young friends could just hope that their outfits would go with the theme of their video.
The seven occupants of the almost always empty library were surprised to see Bulk Biceps interrupt their conversation, they were friends, but they didn't really talk to each other much, especially since Bulk was a man of few words. when he saw Rarity his cheeks went red and his eyes moved down to look at his feet, it was as if the colour from his irises had moved down his face to where his cheeks were. It was obvious to everyone but Rarity, that Bulk had a crush on her, unfortunately for him she was currently dating a member of the eco committee, the same eco committee member Fluttershy had a crush on making things more complicated.
"I think you should follow me to the nurse's office." It was possibly the longest sentence Bulk had ever said in front of the friends, so they knew it must have been important.
Instead of asking Bulk any questions they simply followed after him, they knew asking him questions wouldn't get them anywhere fast. They walked to the office in silence it wasn't too far so they weren't walking for long, but when they got their the office was empty, even the nurse was gone. The seven friends and Bulk Biceps walked in, there was blood on the floor and bed and medical supplies were left untidily on the desk. The three Rainbooms members and Sonata could see red lights flashing in their heads, they all knew that Aria and Rainbow had gone outside to do sports and they didn't know where they were. Fluttershy wasn't with them either, but she knew how to stay out of trouble and no one wanted to hurt her. Nurse Redheart came back into her office with a pen and a couple of forms, she looked nervous when she saw the friends, unsure of what to tell them. Applejack looked inpatient and stamped her foot before waving her arms and hands to indicate the messy and bloodstained office.
"What in tarnation happened here?!"
