It’s a pleasant full day in Ponyville and everypony is getting ready to go to their jobs while all of the fillies and foals are heading to school.
“Alright now lets see, do you have everything you need for your very first day of school, Sparkle Cloud?” Flutter Dust asks her little filly.
“Yes ma’am”
“Now you sure.”
“Come now Flutter, must you keep bothering our little sparkle? She has everything for her first day of school.” Thunder Storm says.
“And that’s why I should, after all this is Sparkle Cloud’s first time ever going to school.”
“Do you think everypony will like me?” the little filly asks her parents.
“I see no reason as to why they shouldn’t.” Thunder says as he puts his hoof over Sparkle Cloud.
“Now you remember what to do once school is over right.” says Flutter Dust.
“Go straight home, and don’t talk to anypony.”
“That’s right, now hurry and go now, you wouldn’t want to be late would you?”
“No mommy, love you.” Sparkle Cloud says as her parents hold her close to them.
“And we love you too, now hurry.” Thunder and Flutter say in unison.
“Bye.” Sparkle say as she rushes out of the cottage hurrying to get to school, leaving her parents home as they share a worried look across their face.
“Are you sure this is a good idea, what if something happens, then everyone well know of our secret.” Flutter Dust says.
“Don’t worry, everything will be just fine, trust me.” Thunder Storm says as he tries to comfort his wife.
“I hope you’re right.”



Miss. Cheerilee’s class was just starting and as always they were as talkative as ever.
“Alright everypony, settle down, I would like to introduce you all to our new student, Sparkle Cloud.”
“Hello Sparkle Cloud.” the class said to their new classmate.
“Um, hi.” the shy filly said.
“Sparkle Cloud since you're new to class, how would you like to tell everypony about yourself.” Miss. Cheerilee recommended.
“Um, okay. Um hi, my name is Sparkle Cloud and me and my mom and dad just moved to ponyville from Cloudsdale.”
“That’s very interesting Sparkle Cloud. Now how about you take a seat so that class can start.”
Sparkle did as she was told and took the empty seat that was to the left of a pegasus filly with a light orange coat and short purple mane.
“Hi, I’m Scootaloo.”
“I’m Apple Bloom” says the yellowish earth filly with brilliant amaranth colored mane and a bow sitting on top of it.
“And I’m Sweetie Belle.” a white unicorn filly with a mixture of pink and purple curly mane says.
Sparkle Cloud, not know this ponies, was so scared that all she replied with was a whimper.
“Girls, no talking in class.”
“Yes Miss. Cheerilee.” said the three fillies.
The day when on as any other and when time came for lunch everypony left to go eat outside. Everypony sat with their best friends talking, eating, and after that was done they played games with each other. Will everypony except Sparkle Cloud, who was sitting under a tree reading with her lunch half eaten.
“What’s wrong with the new pony, I mean she isn’t even eating her lunch she’s just sitting there reading.” Diamond Tiara says to Silver Spoon.
“I know right, what a freak, and she always has her mane covering her right eye, like what is up with that.”
“Hey, stop saying mean things about her.” Sweetie Belle says
“Yeah, I mean what if she’s just shy, her and her family did just move here, she probably doesn’t know how to make new friends.” Apple Bloom adds.
“Well of course you of all ponies would think that.” says Silver Spoon.
“Yeah I mean you for all share one thing in common.” Diamond Tiara said
“And that is what exactly?” Scootaloo asks
Then the two said in unison, “You’re all blank flanks.”
The CMC groaned, and before they could walk over to Sparkle Cloud the school bell rang and Miss. Cheerilee walked outside,“Alright my little ponies, time to get back to class.”
And with that everypony goes back to class. After four hours of school the bell rang and everypony left to go home while most stayed behind to talk to their friends.
“So what do you guys think we should do to try and get our cutie marks this time?” Apple Bloom asks.
“How about we go skydive off of Twilight’s castle.” Scootaloo suggests.
“Um, how about not.” Sweetie Belle says.
As the CMC walk and talk about what to do so that they can try and get their cutie marks. Sparkle Cloud runs past them. The CMC then follow her, thinking that Sparkle Cloud wouldn’t notice, she did. And so she stops and turns around facing the cutie mark crusaders with a mad expression on her face.
“Why do you three keep following me, can’t you tell that I want to be alone.”
“With you running off like that, no.” Scootaloo says.
“Yeah what was all that about anyway?” Sweetie Belle asks.
“Nothing, I, I just have to get home.”
“If that all then why are you in such a rush?” Apple Bloom asks
“Because I just have to, now will you please just, just leave me alone.”
And with that Sparkle Cloud goes back home, leaving the CMC confused, but wanting to respect Sparkle’s wishes, they go back to their tree house.



Sparkle Cloud enters her house to immediately be embraced by Flutter Dust and Thunder Storm as the smell of chocolate milk and cupcakes.
“Oh Sparkle Cloud tell us everything about you first day of school. Did you have fun, did you make any friends, what did you learn?” Flutter Dust asks her little filly.
“Flutter, please, Sparkle can tell us everything that happened AFTER she’s had her rest and is finished eating, right.” Thunder Storm says.
“Yes daddy and I can’t wait to tell you all about what I learned today.” Sparkle says with excitement in her voice, happy to be with her parents once more.
“Oh I can’t wait, but more importantly Sparkle, did you tell anyone about, you know what?” Flutter asks.
“Of course not, I would never.”
“Will that's good to hear, now come on let's go eat.” Thunder said.
Leaving the family of pegasi to go into the dining room happy to now that they can go another day without anypony knowing about their secret, that is, for now at least.
