S2E2: Partner

Season 2 Episode 2: Partner

Inside the Canterlot High School, most of the students were chatting while some were checking and picking up something from their own lockers. Twilight was humming peacefully and happily while picking some books from her locker. As she locked her locker, she found Shadow Dragon leaned against the locker.

"Hey, Twi," Shadow Dragon greeted warmly with a smirk.

Twilight sighed in annoyance with her rolling eyes, "If you're thinking about us being the partners together again, then you've got another thing coming to you, mister."

"Wow. Are you still mad at me over last year's project?"

"As a matter of fact, I am. Just because you don't like science, doesn't mean that you have to do something drastic and ridiculous to skip the project like talking about a live predator and prey in front of some kids?! I mean, seriously, who on Earth thinks like that?!"

"Well, it was awesome to see how predator tackle the prey. Plus, Dragoking loved being on spotlight, you know." Shadow Dragon commented nervously and a bit of playfully. Twilight groaned while crossed her hands a bit. He sighed, "Come on, Twi. I promised that I'll do better for this term. You can count on it."

Twilight hummed suspiciously, "I don't know..."

"Did I ever tell you that you're the most beautiful girl in this world?" Shadow Dragon asked calmly and sincerely, "You're the only one, who stole my heart."

Twilight scoffed, "Shadow Dragon, please, don't try to charm me again. That isn't you. However, I will reconsider about it."

"You're the best!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed happily as he hugged his girlfriend happily.

"On one condition, mister," Twilight said dryly while glaring at him. Shadow Dragon nodded nervously. She continued, "If we fail, then you're gonna take Spike out for a walk and feed him too!"

Shadow Dragon groaned, "Do I have too? You know that I'm not cool with dogs."

Twilight snarled a bit, "Shadow Dragon..."

Shadow Dragon groaned, "Fine. Better than doing math. Numbers. What a headache..."

Heard the bell ringing, Twilight sighed, "Come on, 龙师傅, we've got class now."

Just before Shadow Dragon could react, Twilight dragged and pulled him as they're heading straight to science class now.

Twilight and Shadow Dragon have arrived and entered the science class, where most of her classmates including Rarity, Sunset, Flash and even Derpy. Most of them were chatting happily and calmly about the upcoming science project for them to do.

The door was opened and revealed a lighter brownish man with his dark chocolate spiky hair combed down in his 30's worn a white shirt with dark blue vest, greenish bow tie and blue pants and trench coat as well. He called himself 'Dr. Whooves'/

"Good day, students," Dr. Whooves greeted warmly, "I see everyone's present in my class. Well then, by all means, we should begin the science project very soon. It's an important credit to your academy result, dear students."

The students chatted calmly and firmly. Some were excited while others were annoyed and disappointed about it.

"Now, now, students. For this project, you will be paired together. So, some of you might be indecisiveness and uncertain of whom to partner with" Dr. Whooves said seriously and firmly, with a smile, "Luckily for you, I'll decide who you will be partner with."

Dr. Whooves listed down students paired including Rarity partnered with Derpy and Shadow Dragon and Sunset are partners.

"Lastly, Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry will be the team," Dr. Whooves added firmly.

Flash looked surprise and happy while looking at Twilight. She looked uncertainty and worried about partnering with him.

Quickly raised her hand, Twilight asked, "Dr. Whooves, is it too late to change your partner?"

"No changes, Ms. Sparkle. I've already decided," Dr. Whooves said firmly, "So, you'd best start getting to know your partner, or you fail."

Twilight sighed in concern. Flash smiled warmly, "Relax, Twilight. I've got your back. We'll ace this project. Count on it."

Twilight gulped, "That's what worries me..."

---

After the science class, Twilight has arrived and returned to her locker as she was searching and collecting some stuffs and books from it.

Twilight looked uneasy and worried about having new partner - Flash Sentry. She was told that he was known to be the best rockstar in high school, as well as skilled and good in sports. This makes her uneasy and uncertainty of whether he's good at science because of what she has seen and heard from school and others that they're known to be intelligent people. She is very uncertainty about trusting Flash to work with her over science project.

"Hey, Twilight," Sunset greeted warmly as she, Rarity and Shadow Dragon approached to her, startling her best friend. She asked in concern and surprise, "You okay?"

Rarity also noticed Twilight's looks as well, "Indeed, darling. Is there something bothering you?"

"Huh? What makes you say that?" Twilight asked in surprise yet uneasy, "I'm fine."

"Are you worried about Flash being your partner?" Sunset asked curiously and suspiciously.

"Isn't that obvious?" Twilight asked in concern.

Shadow Dragon scoffed a bit while crossed his arms, "It is. But come on, Twilight, aren't you a bit unfair to him. He's a good friend, you know. Plus, you haven't even started the science project, with him."

"I know that, but I'm certain that he's not a science material like someone I know of," Twilight commented, making Shadow Dragon annoyed.

"That's what bothering you?" Sunset asked amusingly before giggled, "Twilight, don't underestimate him, just because he's a rockstar. He and I were partners in most of science lab. And to be frankly, he's quite good at it."

Rarity nodded in confirmation, "I agreed with Sunset. He scored mostly C's or B's for science. It is best of you not to judge him, Twilight. He's more to him than meets the eye."

Twilight, still unconvinced and concern, said, "Somehow, I don't think I'm convinced by it."

"Twilight, come on, try to work with him for once. You may never know. He could be the partner you could be looking for," Shadow Dragon insisted playfully. He cleared his throat a bit, "I mean science partner, not lover."

"Hmm... Let me think about it," Twilight said thoughtfully before scoffed, "Not a chance."

Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity groaned a bit about Twilight refused to work with Flash. She really needs to work with someone, who is not necessary to be a scientist or smartest student. Flash has arrived at the scene.

"Hey guys," Flash greeted happily. Everyone greeted back to him. He nudged Twilight from her back, "Hey, partner, ready to start science project? I'm pump for it. So what kind of project we'd be working on?"

"Uh, I haven't thought of it yet," Twilight said uneasily and nervously. Just before Flash could suggest, she cleared her throat, "Oh! Look at the time! I'd better get going! I'll let you know when I have the idea of what kind of science project we'd be doing. See ya!"

Twilight headed off at once, confusing Flash. Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity groaned in annoyance by Twilight's stubbornness.

"Was something I've said?" Flash asked in confusion.

---

Almost four days have passed, Twilight did her best to avoid and evade Flash, to make sure that he doesn't mess up with her project or even wanted to hurt his feelings as well. Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity tried their best to encourage her to talk and work with him, instead of ignoring him.

Twilight continued ignoring their advice as she has gotten herself into more problems as she struggled of finding and getting the right project to do but some students have already working on it or the experiment proved to be difficult for her to handle. She's really in pickle as she can't find the project to do.

---

Inside her house's basement or also known as her laboratory, Twilight was looking through some books, finding and thinking some ideas of what project she can do, without getting Flash involved. She groaned in frustration as she couldn't think of anything or even find from her computer.

Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "There must be something challenging and interesting for me to try and show the world that I can achieve it. But what?" She then looked through the computer's screen, searching for project. She gasped in surprise, "Time-Space Machine? That's a great idea! Just imagine if I built that machine to travel through time, and I even get to see what kind of future or maybe get to know the full history too!"

"Don't you think that's a bit dangerous?" Flash's voice asked curiously and concern, shocking startling Twilight. She yelped in concern as she turned and found worried Flash. He chuckled uneasily, "Sorry. Your mom let me in when I told her that we're science partner. Guess I should have tell you that."

"Oh. I see." Twilight said uneasily and nervously as she pushed Flash out, "Listen, I haven't think of the idea yet. So, why don't you go home and start playing guitar until I find the right project for me-! I mean us to do!"

Annoyed by her constant lying and pushing him away, Flash groaned as he quickly slammed his right foot down, "Oh no! You're not pushing me away from our science project just because you think of me being a rockstar with no brain for four days!"

Surprised by Flash's deducing her deception, Twilight stopped and looked at him in shock, "Y-You knew?"

While crossed his arms, Flash turned and glared at Twilight, "Yes, I knew, Twilight. I am angry of how you treated your own science partner when we're supposed to work together."

Feeling shame for her treatment, Twilight sighed, "You're right, Flash. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have avoided and make excuses from working with you. I thought you're just a guy, who loved playing rock and roll music, and not very... Very..."

"Bright?" Flash asked suspiciously, making Twilight uneasy and guilty. He sighed, "Twilight, I maybe a rockstar guy, but I'm not stupid. Plus, science and math are my thing too when I was a kid. So, I expect both of us to work together on our project. Okay?"

"Okay, Flash. I'll make it up for this inconvenience treatment."

"That'd better be. As for time-space machine, I think it's bad idea because if anyone learn and may accidentally mess up with past and future, it could spell disaster and mess it up."

"Hmm... I hate to admit it. That's a good explanation. Learn from the movies?"

"That. And also, I read a novel about time machine too."

"So, what kind of project we can do? I mean I don't want us to do just some simple minded project. No offense."

"I don't mind doing challenging, but safety is important too, you know. You can never tell what kind of danger you may get yourself into."

"That's a very good explanation too. So, what is the safest project we can do? At least, something challenging for us to do?"

Flash hummed thoughtfully as he leaned against the desk while his right hand extended to stand on it. Unfortunately, his hand slipped and tripped the apple down hard. Both him and Twilight looked at the apple fall on the ground hard. They both looked at each other.

"You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Gravity Project?" Flash asked curiously.

Twilight nodded, "Exactly. Wow. You're good at this."

"Nah. I scored at least C's and B's," Flash commented calmly.

---

With their project chosen, both Twilight and Flash began working on it, building and inventing a machine that could generate and control the gravity. Unlike before, both of them are studying and working together on how to make the machine work, as well as testing some trials on it.

Other than working on their science project, both Twilight and Flash often hang out with their friends and chatted happily of other interests such as books, movies and their relationship with their lovers.

---

After a week passed, most of the students have worked and completed their science project. They brought their projects to school for Dr. Whooves to inspect and graded them. He hummed thoughtfully while inspecting and analyzing the projects. Most of them were impressive while others weren't.

Dr. Whooves checked on both Sunset-Shadow Dragon's Science Project, which revealed to be a soda volcano, which sprouted out some soad. He hummed amusingly, "Impressive. A simple but effective classic project. Brings me back of my old memories."

Approached both Rarity and Derpy, Dr. Whooves checked on their project - a solar system. He hummed calmly, "Well done. Good to see someone have time to make a solar system." He then noticed a muffin near to Earth, "Though I am not certain of why there is a muffin near to our planet?"

"She insisted," Rarity pointed at Derpy, "She's very persuasive with muffin."

Derpy smiled, "I loved muffin." She then showed muffin to Dr. Whooves, "Want muffin?"

Dr. Whooves chuckled uneasily as he took a muffin for him to eat it. He then approached and checked on Twilight and Flash's science project, which revealed to be a weighing machine with buttons and lever, and has fruits on top its platform.

"That's interesting," Dr. Whooves said curiously, "So, what is this?"

Twilight and Flash looked at each other as they smiled warmly and confidently. Both of them pulled the lever down, causing the weighing machine to shake and levitating couple of fuits in midair. This shocked and surprised everyone else.

"Spectacular! Artificial Gravity Project! Now, this is indeed science!" Dr. Whooves exclaimed happily as he wrote down on his pad, "A Plus for effort! Well done!"

Twilight and Flash gave each other a high-five. Everyone cheered and gave the applause to them making the best science project.

Sunset gave a wink to Twilight, "Told you that he's good."

Twilight nodded, "Agreed." She turned and looked at Flash, "Thanks for helping me out, Flash. And very sorry for judging you harshly."

Flash smiled warmly as he patted Twilight's shoulder, "No worries. Try not to judge people until you get to know more about him. Plus, we're friends."

"Yeah. Lesson learned. Think you can help me something?" Twilight asked, making Flash turned and looked at her. She asked, "Think you can teach me about playing guitar?"

Flash chuckled, "Sure, no problem, partner."

Sunset whistled, "Looks like Twilight's hooking up with Flash. Just hope they became the thing."

Shadow Dragon rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Very funny, Sunset. Very funny..."
