The next day, the boys woke up early and prepared for their first day at school. Instead of going to on foot or by a vehicle, they teleported there with Magistrike’s spell, and appeared in one of the restrooms of the school. They got out and ran towards Principal Celestia’s office. Magistrike knocked on the door.
“Come in,” said the principal. The boys walked in.
“Morning boys,” greeted Celestia. “I hope you’re prepared for your first day here?”
“Yeah… sure… school sounds fun,” Saberblade was not amused, but he was elbowed by Magistrike.
“Well, here are the lessons I had arranged for you to take, and the number of your lockers,” Celestia handed a timetable to the boys. “Good news is you three will be taking classes together. I understand that most transfer students won’t last long without their friends with them.”
“Well, thanks… I suppose...” said Javelin.
“Well, as before, if you have any questions, my door’s always open.” said the principal.
The boys walked out Celestia’s office and looked at the timetable. Nothing was a big difference even in a fantasy world. All classes in Canterlot High were just like Bellbright High in their world.
Javelin gave a sigh. At least Canterlot gave him the opportunity to be in the same classes as his friends.
“Well… let’s put our stuff in our lockers and head to class,” said Magistrike.
Classes were just the same, as if they were at their real school. However, they also kept seeing some familiar faces in every class they’re in. And if that is not coincidentally enough, their lockers were also next to each other. When it is lunch time, they took their lunch from their respective lockers and went to the cafeteria.
“Ugh… you even need to study in a fantasy realm...” sighed Saberblade.
“Well, we’ll just have to live with it, for now...” said Javelin.
When they entered the cafeteria, everything was still the same: they could tell that the students were sitting with their own kind, just like in their school. They scanned the area for an empty table, but with no luck.
“You know, I think you should sit with the athletes, Javelin,” suggested Saberblade.
“But what about you guys?” asked Javelin.
“We’ll be fine, we’ll find some other places to sit,” said Magistrike.
“Well, I’m not sitting anywhere without my friends,” Javelin put his arms on his friends’ shoulders.
“Hey! Prodigies!” a voice yelled. The boys turned to the source and saw Rainbow Dash waving at them. “Come join us!”
“Come on,” said Javelin. Magistrike and Saberblade followed.
“Hey, Jav, I don’t think that she’s sitting with the athletes,” said Magistrike. True enough, Rainbow Dash was sitting with a bunch of students from different kinds.
The boys settled down on the table. Javelin sat beside Rainbow while his two friends sat across him. As soon as they sat down, Saberblade could not help but notice the girl beside him shift slightly to the right.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” asked Saberblade. The girl ignored him.
“Uh… hello?”
“You have to excuse her, dear,” said another girl with a very fancy accent. “She’s not used to strangers.”
“Hm… I see...” said Saberblade.
“Javelin, Saberblade, Magistrike, allow me to introduce them,” said Rainbow. “The girl in the black jacket is Sunset Shimmer, the girl with the hat is Applejack, this lady here is Rarity, you might remember Pinkie here, and this is Fluttershy.”
“Nice to meet you,” greeted Sunset.
“Howdy, y’all,” Applejack tipped her hat.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” said Rarity.
“HIYA!” greeted Pinkie.
“Um… hi...” muttered Fluttershy.
“Hey,” the boys greeted, and nibbled on their food.
“Boys… are more interested in their food...” whispered Sunset.
“You know, Sunset Shimmer... Never interfere a guy with his lunch...” said Applejack.
“You know, they are quite charming,” said Rarity.
“To be honest, indeed they are,” said Applejack.
The boys overheard what Rarity and Applejack said and looked at them. Javelin had a piece of lettuce hanging of his mouth.
“Did we say that out loud?” asked Rarity. The boys gave a slow nod and it is funny how the lettuce dangled along as Javelin nodded. The two girls only blushed.
After lunch, everyone went back to class. When school was over, the boys packed up, huddled at the back of the class and waited for a teleport when everyone completely left class. However, the girls they met earlier had different plans for them.
“Hey, mind if we tag along?” asked Rainbow Dash, her friends standing behind her.
From the brain, they could not decline a request from a new friend. However, their hearts told a different option: decline, so they can teleport back to their house. In the end, they decided to accept their friends’ request.
The nine students left school and headed towards town on their way home. When they reached the Prodigies’ house, Javelin remembered something.
“Well, here’s our stop… Uh… hey, do you girls know where could we find weekend jobs?” he asked.
They paused for a moment. Then, Applejack began.
“Well, I could use some help in movin’ ma family’s apple products.”
“I could use some assistance in my boutique,” said Rarity.
“Um… I could use some help in the pet store,” muttered Fluttershy.
“Well, three jobs for three persons.” said Saberblade. “What now?”
“Easy, we each take a job!” suggested Magistrike.
“Not a bad idea, though I hate getting separated with my best friends...” said Javelin.
“Well, if that’s the case,” said Saberblade. “I’ll help you, Applejack.”
“I’d be happy to help, Rarity.” said Magistrike.
“Well, that leaves me to you, Fluttershy.” said Javelin. “Now that’s settled, we’d best be going back home now.”
The boys waved goodbye as they walked up the valley, the girls waving back in return.
