//------------------------------// // Months Later and School // Story: Why am I here? // by MythWriter //------------------------------// ================ Chapter 2 "Months Later and School" ================ A couple months passed by after that day, Daring has been hanging out with me nearly everyday when she's got the chance. I 'took over' this body in the summer of April 22nd, school is coming nearer and nearer each day so I just continued the routine but since Daring had been with me for most of the time it changed a bit. Since Daring and I are in different orphanages we meet up on random times of the day as we have no idea what the other has to do at said orphanage. But everything so far was fine, excluding Sour and Tin's bully group. It seemed they haven't learned their lessons on their attitudes and didn't give up on making fun of little fillies and colts, during this I sometimes intervene when I can or I tell (leave a note at the desk) the caretakers and let them handle it, becuase of that their 'Bully Attacks' aren't that frequent as before. Daring had started going through athletics by herself by reading instructions from the books at the library we usually go through, she was confused when she found out that I was really smart but didn't show it type thing but didn't push it and came to me if there was something she was confused on. I would join her most of the time, I remembered the 'Canterlot wedding' and other episodes were there's attacks, I wanted to be prepared so that even if I wasn't part of it I could be ready in case somethings uprising comes up. Becuase I know, nothing is peaceful happens when you're in a show that includes mythological animals that are real, chaotic gods, bug and bull villains, a tyrantt king of a 'supposed' vanished kingdom, and many other stuff. And considering Daring's future might cross my path becuase of her adventures gives me a big boost in that. Daring had change a bit during my time with her, she no longer stutters when we talk and is a bit more far out and open so good progression. I found out things that she likes, she loves adventure stories and ancient temples (not really surprising isn't it?) and forgotten cities, really she's the female equine version of Indiana Jones. And then.... The dreaded day came upon me—I mean, us.... First. Day. Of. School This reminded me on why being a young little filly sucked. ~Place:School~Time:9:30 A.M~ I groaned and bowed my head as I walked beside Daring to our new school, said filly tried not to giggle at the sight of me "C'mon Vixxie, school's not that bad!" Daring said as she tried to comfort me making me groan more for two reasons, one: School IS bad to me becuase I have to do it all over again two: that nickname she thought of during the summer. Like I said she opened up while we spent out time together. "You're right... It's WORSE" I grumbled as we nearer to my hell-—I mean our destination. The Canterlot local school, well one of them as Canterlot is a big place so there were multiple schools around the area not to mention the big schools for the rich and extremely talented and geniuses. The school were were attending was called 'Foundation Grade School' again, THIS SHOW'S NAMES FOR PONIES AND PLACES, I rest my case. "Well... At least we're in the same school together and the same classes" she said trying to encourage me, it worked slightly as I nodded "And besides Vixxie, what could possibly go wrong?" She said cheerfully, I froze midstep making her stop. I swore I heard church bells as I internally cried at those words 'She just HAD to say it' I thought miserably as her hoof was waved in front of my face trying to get my attention "Vixxie? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly. I sighed and shook my head "Nothing, let's just get to class Daring" she looked at me weirdly before nodding in agreement and off we went to find our classroom. ~TimeSkip: 10:45~ Place:Classroom A-1~ 'FINALLY I mentally shouted as the bell rang signaling recess, I packed up my things, the first class we had was Equestrian (English) then the next subject we had was Math, I think my grade here is Grade 5 in elementary, meaning I was either 8 or 9 but I think my age is 9. Yeah I'm pretty sure it is, anyway, Daring was packing her things too she sat beside me, I was doing the cliché anime 'sitting by the window'. I didn't really care but I knew I wouldn't pay attention much in class and it wouldn't really be obvious if I wasn't. Unfortunately there was a bad problem in this class... "If it isn't Stupid Icky Vicky and Not-Daring DoDo head!" Ah, speak of the devil and he will be there. Again I grimaced on the Vicky name, I really did not like that name. There in our class were the two 'top' bullies of my orphanage, Sour Stone and Tin Foil, and of course they little gang of mini bullies were in our class too, this is why you don't say THAT phrase. I rolled my eyes and put on my saddle-bag and Daring doing the same "What do you want you brats? Didn't I keep telling you not to be bullies...?" I drawled with a bored face then paused then sneered (I think my sneer can rival Snape's sneer "or your ignorant little brains couldn't process that information?" They stepped back in shock and slight fear but held their ground. Daring shook her head and sighed thinking that the bunch would never give up. "T-Tch! I bet you don't even know what your saying! You're still probably pretending to be smart!" Tin said haughtily making the others snicker, my face was still blank and emotionless making them falter, I raised my eyebrow before saying "Again with that? You'd think using the same insult over and over would get tiring but I guess you immature brats are still so childish" I said emotionlessly before walking past them with Daring close by my side and continued "Grow up, were 5th elementary graders, not petty little brats that fight over one silly small thing" and with that, me and Daring were out the door to the school playground leaving a bunch of foals with angered faces and clenched jaws. As soon as we reach the playground we immediately claimed a spot that was under an oak tree and relaxed, I was laying against the tree trunk with my eyes closed while Daring was practicing on taking off the ground and flying properly. Daring paused before turning to me and asked "Why are you so harsh on those guys anyway Vixxie? I mean yeah their bullies but..." I opened my eyes at here making her stop her sentence and sighed I looked up to stare at the tree and skies "I'm harsh becuase they need to grow up, they aren't going to stay like little foals forever and one day they'll get in very big trouble in the future with that attitude, if they don't change. Their lives might as well go downhill, sure there will be good times but there will be bad times that they may not handle becuase of their childish ways" I said softly, Daring looked at me with wide eyes. I coughed and looked away with a slight blush "And I hate bullies" I grumbled, Daring smirked and shook her head before continuing her practice ~TimeSkip: 3:30~ Place: Park~ "Nnngh~!!" I groaned as I stretched my hooves and neck hearing the slight crack or bones and gave a relieved sigh "Phew, I thought we were going to stay there forever!" I complained as I leaned up against an oak tree trunk and slid down to relax Daring rolled her eyes and grinned "You're exaggerating Vixxie, but it was kinda boring" she said as she sat down beside me, I stared at the skies and saw a few Pegasi foals fly over us, one notably had a fiery mane and sunny yellow coat, I shrugged it off and closed my eyes while taking a deep breath and sighed contently Shuffle Shuffle I opened on of my eyes slightly to look at Daring you was rummaging through her saddle-bag and took out a book about old temples and civilizations, she leaned on my shoulder while reading, I took a peak and smirked at one of the pages she was reading. It said 'The Legend of the Sapphire Stone'. Huh, so that was where she got the information about the Sapphire, I wonder when she'll go on her first adventure and when she'll meet.... Who was it again? Aui... Ahol... Ahuizohtl! That was his name. "Hey Vixxie?" Darings voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Yes Daring?" I replied as I closed my eyes again "Do you think the Sapphire Stone is real? And that I'll become a great adventurer?" She questioned as she read the book, doubt was circling within her stomach. I paused before opening my eyes and said "Who knows? The Sapphire Stone might be legend, a myth. But there are possibilities where it's just hidden where no pony can find it and just waiting to be found by a certain adventurer" I said and smiled "And I have no doubt you'll be a great adventurer, you're Daring Do. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the first to find it in the future" Daring nodded as her eyes sparkled with hope and determination I never did notice the slight glimmer of my chest nor feel my eyes change for a single second from their amythest color to a mixture of violet with white specks, Daring didn't notice the glimmer of her chest nor did she feel her eyes changing like mine for a single second from their magenta to a mixture of magenta with yellow specks as we laid there in that spot for the rest of the day not knowing of what the future the fates had written ============= Chapter End ============
