In a average, everyday high school, where nothing out of common happens, a sad but dreamy boy walked by the side of a slightly grumpy but friendly buddy, walking throught the school halls as he let out a sad sigh.
"What's the matter, my friend?" said the somewhat grumpy boy, one with grey skin and white shirt with three stars on it.
"It's nothing, I was just... thinking," he responded, looking down to the floor.
"Okay, you have me intrigued... You can think?"
"Hah hah hah, nice joke, Dizzy!!!" the boy looked angrily at his friend, looking really upset. "Don't you see I'm actually feeling bad?"
"Flash, you've been like this since 'that incident' and you can't stop picking up your guitar to play sad, senseless songs just thinking about her!"
"It's just..." in that moment, Flash took his guitar from its case on his back, and started playing it in low, sad tones, "I MISS HER SO MUCH!"
"FLASH!" Dizzy snatched the guitar away from him, going into a really angry rant, "STOP PLAYING THAT THING! I HAD ENOUGH, YOU DO THAT ALL MORNINGS, AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS AND I KNOW YOU DO THAT AT NIGHT BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE SAD YOU SING SO OUT OF KEY YOU SCARE MY KITTEN, AND YOU KNOW THEY HAVE BETTER EAR THAN A HUMAN! STOP THINKING ABOUT HER, SHE'LL NEVER COME BACK, SHE'S A PASTEL-COLORED EQUINE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION! NOT ONLY IS THAT THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER SAID IN A SENTENCE IN A LONG TIME, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A LIFETIME!"
Dizzy took a break to catch some air, after screaming so loud anyone who was passing aside gave him strange looks.
"...Besides, what were you thinking falling in love with a pony?"
Flash gave him another mean look, but it quickly changed into a tearful expression of sadness.
"IT'S TRUE!!! WHYYYYY???" Flash dumped his head over Dizzy's shoulder, crying like he'd never cried before. He couldn't help but pat his friend on his back.
"Ugh, okay, okay. I was a little rude, but at least that way you'll see things more realistically and-"
In that moment, he noticed that the Vice-Principal Luna was walking right towards them.
"What is going on in here?" she asked in an unamused tone.
"Oh, vice-principal Luna, good morning. I was just.." Flash sniffed trying to get a hold of himself.
"I just told him the truth," Dizzy explained, althought Luna didn't look very impressed. "It's not my fault it was brutal and cruel."
"So it was you who did this, Mr. Dizzy?" the viceprincipal yanked the student's ear with the most annoyed look one can imagine.
"Owww Oww Oww! Wait! Ouch!"
"Mr. Flash," she said, still not letting go Dizzy's ear, "go wash your face. I want you and Grumpyface to come with me."
Both friends look at each other, Flash still sniff while Dizzy rolled his eyes, and replied in unison:
"Yes, miss Luna."
Moments later, Luna took Flash and Dizzy to the Auditorium, with many new students over the stage in a row.
"Uhm, what is this?" Dizzy asked in confusion.
"These are our new stdents that will access this semester, I've chosen you to be school guides to a couple of them."
In an instant, Dizzy was the first to refuse.
"I pass!" trying to get off Luna's grip, he was already stepping back. "I don't wanna be nanny of nobody."
"What a shame, Mr. Dizzy," Luna replied, her voice slightly getting more serious, maybe unusually serious. "I chose you for a reason, you've been turning away from others and acting very angrily since 'that day', so I've decided that either you become the guide to one of this boys or if you refuse, I'll expell you."
Dizzy gulped in fear, looking at his friend, who was looking at the row of students.
"...Whyyyyyy? Flash, help meeeeee! ...Flash?"
Meanwhile, Flash was frozen in shock recognizing a familiar face in the row: a shy looking girl with glasses and her hair in a bun, really pretty yet very nervous. Losing no time, she approached the girl, trying to act as nice as he could.
"H-Hello," despite his efforts, he was still shaking in nervousness at the familiar girl. She didn't reply, just looking at him in a shy way, so Flash tried talking again. "A-Are you new in the neighborhood?"
The girl simply nodded in response, while Flash tried to be more gentle.
"I-I'm Flash Sentry, and I-I'lll be your guide. P-Please don't be afraid, as your guide I'll show you everything in the school..." he said as he kneel near her, acting with nervous chivalry. "And you'll have my protection against anyone who tries to impose over you. Y-You have my word, princess."
While many of the students rolled their eyes at the scene, the girl simply blushed, surprised by the kindness of the boy. While still nervous, she grabbed his hand.
"T-thanks Flash... I'm Twilight Sparkle"
"That name... is beautiful," he said as he stood up, smiling at her. "D-Do you mind if, before giving you the tour of the school, I present you to a certain group of friends?"
The girl looked at her cluelessly, still nervous about everything.
"N-No? I think that'll be fine."
"Then come with me," with kindness and care, Flash took her away from the auditorium, everyone looking reacting in different ways.
"So that's why you brought him here, isn't it?" Dizzy grumbled lowly.
"Well, yes," Luna responded, not letting her ear go. "Got a problem with that?"
"I bet he'll get upset when he finds out this one isn't a pony," he snarked, but Luna yanked his ear in response. "OUCH OUCH! EXCUSE ME VICE-PRINCIPAL, I DIDN'T THOUGHT YOU WERE THAT FUSSY."
"Mr. Dizzy, call me 'fussy' again, and I swear I'll make you write sentences so long you'll need to use all the black boards in the school."
"Okay, Okay! I got that..." Dizzy rolled his eyes as he looked over the row of students, until he caught glimpse of a curious girl, slightly short, with a cute face and shiny eyes. "Can I choose the girl with the light-blue hair?"
"Of course not!" the vice-principal replied.
"OH COME ON! YOU LET FLASH CHOOSE-" before he could go on, Luna interrupted him.
"I made him a favour to Flash, and it was just this one time. But youuu..." she then pointed to a boy who seemed to be lost in thoughts and distracted. Black with a stripe of white hair, a blue t-shirt with a crown stamped on it, open dark-blue shirt and with a crown on his head, the boy looked like quite the case. "You will stay with that boy over there."
"What the..." Dizzy was in shock that he had to be with that weird looking guy.
"Youngster, come here," calling the boy towards them, Luna left Dizzy in front of him. "This is Dizzy, he'll be your school guide for the first few weeks. I already made sure you share the same classes so, good luck."
The vice-principal left them as she approached the row to assemble more pairings.
"Uhm, hello," the boy with a crown said, not knowing what to say, while Dizzy replied with a very deadpan tone.
"Welcome to Canterlot High, the most fan-friggin-tabulous on the planet, where you can study and get bitter about life, while you remember the educative system in our country is a piece of-"
"Oh, that's nice!" the strange boy grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously as he spoke with a cheerful, fast tone. "I'M CROWNED! YOU MAY CALL ME CROWN, THE ONE WITH THE CROWN, THAT GUY WITH A CROWN, OR CALL ME FOR SUPPER CAUSE I'M HUNGRY! I COME FROM CRYSTAL PREP, YET I PREFER TO NOT TELL DETAILS BUT I'M SO EXCITED TO BE IN THIS PLACE! I'VE HEARD SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT AND-"
"Woah woah woah, calm down!" Dizzy released his hand from the grip, still shaking. "Okay, okay, from the top... You come from Crystal Prep?"
"...I'd rather not go into details," he said nervously.
"I understand, it's better tha way. Not many people have the best impression from that place, trust me," Dizzy looked at his partner as supportive as he could, even if he didn't feel much about it. "Well, I'm Dizzy, like the vice-principal said."
Crowned checked on his new guide. He nnoticed his was wearing a purple scarf, a pair of jeans and black sneakers, but was surprised by his white hair with a stripe of blue.
"Do you paint your hair?"
"N-No, it isn't..." Dizzy was about to protest, but then he remembered the guy was new in the school. "Ok, I suppose you don't know. On science class a couple of idiots, a really thin and nasal fella and his chubby, buck-teethed pal, found it funny to spill some chemicals on my head and... Poof! White hair. Only a small tuft survived, now they say I look more like my cousin, the skier. But who are you to talk, mister 'black and white' hair? What's your story?"
"You mean this?" Crowned asked, pointing at his hair. "Uhm, genetics, I suppose?"
"Wait, they're natural?!"
"Yup!"
"...Does your family hunts down monsters and demons or something like that?" he asked, hoping he could get his reference.
"Huh?"
"Nothing, nothing, forget about it," Dizzy said, seeing that it flew over his head. "By they way, why do you use that crown?"
"Oh, this! Do you want the long story, or the short story?"
"Short, I just want to get over this day already."
"Oh, okay," Crowned then adopted a seemingly heroic pose, as he began speaking like he was some kind of hero. "I AM CROWNED KING, KING OF HAPPINESS! AND AS A KING, MY DREAM IS MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY!"
Everyone that remained in the auditorium delivered the most shocked looks one could expect, wondering what the hell was going throught his mind.
"O-kaaaaay..." Dizzy could help but think to himself: 'great, I'm stuck with a looney.' "So, do you want me to give you a tour?"
"YEP!" Crowned grabbed his partner's arm, getting pretty close to him.
"Just don't get too optimistic. I don't want to catch... whatever you have."
And so, the new duo left the auditorium to explore the school, although all Dizzy could think of was 'why couldn't I get the light-blue haired girl instead?'
