Gaming Is Magic

School Simulator....?

Plenty of students were outside for the class though it almost looked like free gym but no teacher was supervising. It was very nice out that day, not to hot to feel uncomfortable but not too cold to the point you wanted a sweatshirt. Sunset was happy to be outside not because it was beautiful out, but she thought this would be good for the tense group behind her. Sunset looked for her friends around the field till she finally spotted them on bleachers.

She saw Pinkie blabbering up a storm to Rainbow Dash and Applejack, Rarity was filing her nails while Fluttershy's eyes wandered about the field till they connected with Sunsets. Seeing her and the Dazzlings at first she waved smiling, The smile disappeared though when she noticed the five boys within the group. She then turned to the rest of the girls notioning them to look over to Sunset’s and the group walking with her.

“Ready for introductions round two Goldie?” Gnome said rubbing his hands together smiling menacingly at Goldie.

Goldie just rolled his eyes as they made their way to the bleachers. Adagio flicked a part of her hair back as she walked towards the rest of the group. Though Adagio knew she no longer held any standing point at the school she still had to make herself look in charge. She picked out a spot near the edge of the bottom bleachers seat gently wiping whatever dirt was on it and sat down acting as though she was claiming the spot proudly as her personal. Sonata plopped herself right next to her and Aria walked over and sat down still arms crossed and still upset looking on the other side of Adagio on the edge.

Applejack looked at the group of guys who were with Sunset. Looking them up and down inspecting them.
“So Sunset who these fellers you with?” Applejack questioned as she adjusted her hat.

Sunset smiled at that since she was hoping they could help them warm up to the school and calm the nerves of some in the group. Hopefully they could all be friends since that's what Sunset wanted to have the most, lots of friends. So far the girls didn’t seem bothered by the new unfamiliar faces. Even Fluttershy wasn't hiding so this must be good news.

“Well maybe I should have them introduce themselves to you?” Sunset turned to Goldie and his friends smiling as she spoke.

This immediately snapped the attention of the boys and made them freeze. None of them spoke up. Out of the blue though Umbro stepped forward as though he was volunteering for a mission with possible no return. Clearing his throat he then smiled as he spoke.

“Hi I’m Umbro it’s nice to meet you all” he said cheerfully. The girls responded happily Applejack tipped her hat to him.

“Howdy Umbro, it’s nice to meet you too” Applejack said sincerely. Just before any of the other girls could speak Skully chuckled and said.

“Wow Umbro that sounded like you practiced that one”, Skully’s face was holding back the biggest smile, and Goldie was just shaking his head counting down from 5 as though a bomb was going to go off.  In a sense though it was just like that. Umbro whipped around and turned to Skully, “Come on dude every time I just open my mouth you got something to say”.

Goldie shook his head even more and Umbro and Skully began their feud. He walked away from them to a spot on the bleachers near the Dazzlings. Umbro and Skully continued their rant towards each other while Gnome got between then jokingly singing “Why can't we be friend's" grabbing both their shoulders swinging back and forth with them.

“Mind if I sit here?”, Goldie said as he looked at the Dazzlings. Adagio looked at him, “Nobody's gonna stop you” she said with sigh. Goldie sat down leaving a gap between Sonata and himself.

Goldie looked at his friends who at this point no longer arguing and just trying to get away from Gnome. Dahblunt though just stood there looking at them to smiling while rolling his eyes.
“Y'all be freaking crazy”, Dahblunt said loudly but not loud enough to over voice Skully and Umbro’s freak out.
The six girls watched as the two continued to pry themselves from Gnome while he sang the entire song swaying like it was a kumbaya at a camp fire. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy watched the two boys now yelling get off me to Gnome as he attempted to headlock them. Aria leaned forward to look at Goldie, he was watching them laughing a little here and there. She then spoke up and caught Goldie’s attention

“So do your friends usually act this”, Aria was surprisingly lost for words. Even from feeding off the negativity from pony’s and humans she had never seen this kind of behavior. The such quick bounce back between friends was unheard of to her. Then Rarity gently patted Aria on her shoulder and looked at Goldie as well.

“Aggravated darling is what shes trying to say, they're so angry with each other and being so mean to one another are you sure you are all friends?”, Rarity looked at them with concern till she noticed Goldie’s eyes widening at this statement as though insulted.

“Of course they’re my friends just also depends on the time of day, whether food is involved and how much I have to pay them”, he said completely with a serious face before slowly cracking a smile. Aria and Sonata and the six girls looked at each other in confusion not understanding, Adagio did though as she giggled at the statement.

“It was a joke I promise”, Goldie said waving his hand about as though clearing the air of the awkward looks surrounding him. Goldie then snapped his fingers twice very loudly. “Come on guys let’s not be rude lets introduce ourselves properly, think of it as another intro” he said smiling at his group.

Gnome immediately shot up, “Oh, I got this one hello everyone I’m Gnome from J.O.F Crew and today we are doing school simulator”. Gnome said with the biggest grin on his face.

Goldie covered his face with one hand laughing. Skully walked up to Gnome to smack him in the back of the head again but Gnome caught his hand while saying, “Once is enough”. Dahblunt quickly walked in front of them blocking them from view .
“Do not pay attention to them they know not what they speak, and it seems I’m the only one besides Goldie who is sane enough to get us back on track”, Dahblunt said nodding his head.

“That's an overstatement”, Umbro said as though speaking from off stage but Dahblunt ignored it.

“So we got me I’m Dahblunt, over there in the black jeans and Umbreon t-shirt is Umbro, Gnome is the big guy bear hugging Umbro in one arm and the other who is being strangled with the short spiked red and orange hair is Skully”, Dahblunt said as he pointed all of his friends out. Then they all turned to Goldie waiting for him. He looked at the group of girls patiently waiting for his introduction. He fixed his vest and turned to the girls, “I’m Goldie and I babysit these guys”, he said then turning back to this friends.

The girls began to giggle, sunset walked up the bleachers and sat next to Rainbow Dash. Sunset was happy that things seem to be going better than how it was before. She just hoped it would stay this way.

Goldie all of a sudden turned to Dahblunt with a sour face. “Hey you never apologized to me for the other night dude!”, Goldie sat with his arms crossed and looked quite upset.

Dahblunt stared at Goldie for a bit then he raised a eyebrow, “For what we we’re on ARMA DAYZ what could have I done wrong?”.

Goldie quickly responded raising a finger, “You know how I said while in the helicopter, dude drop me off here and fly away”.

Goldie looked really upset now

“Um yeah why?”, Dahblunt was still confused as his eyes wandered thinking of what could have gone wrong.

“Well first off as I was exiting the Little Bird you shot back up in the air maybe 20 feet, I broke my character's legs I then tell you to come back for me” Goldie looked like he was building up to a heartbreaking moment.

Skully headed towards the bleachers as well and sat down next to Goldie almost falling over he was laughing so hard. He knew what happened all too well and now he was trying to catch himself by  putting his hand on Goldie’s shoulder for support as he choked on some of his laughter.
Dahblunt now knew what he was talking about and was laughing too.

“You then proceeded to drive the landing pads of the Little Bird into my spine knocking me out briefly but no that wasn't enough you came back one last time to sever the damn thing!”, Goldie screeched.

Gnome let go of Umbro who he still had in a headlock at this point and fell over laughing while Skully still supported himself on Goldie's shoulder. Umbro scratched his head with a frown.

“Don’t think I was there for that moment”, Umbro said looking at Goldie.

Goldie was laughing at how angry he sounded and looked at Umbro shaking his head in confirmation.
The girls looked at each other including the Dazzlings in confusion. Sunset sighed, “I feel this will be a long eventful week”.
