Princess Preparatory

Meeting New Friends

"Hi Rarity." a girl with light pink hair and ocean blue eyes said, she was sitting with a bunch of animals, while another girl with bright pink hair and sky blue eyes bounced around, blowing balloons

"Hello girls. I need your help, the newest student is in need of a double-plus makeover, stat!" Rarity said

"Oh no, another smoothie incident? Don't worry, Uppercrust does this all the time, I'm sure it's nothing personal." the lighter haired girl said

"Hiya! I'm Pinkie Pie, that's Fluttershy!" the bright pink-haired girl said

The three girls pulled Twilight over to their closet, and Rarity pulled an outfit out

"You're the new student who got a scholarship, right?" Pinkie asked

"Um, yes. My brother's attending the Prince and Knight Academy, to get ready for his marriage to Princess Cadence. So our little brother and myself got scholarships to the schools." Twilight said

"Wait, your brother is the soon-to-be King Shining Armor?" Rarity squealed

"Yeah." Twilight said

"There, pretty as a Princess." Rarity said, as she helped Twilight change. Twilight spun a little in the royal purple skirt and lavender blouse. The blouse's sleeves were short, but edged with purple lining

"Thank you." Twilight breathed, stroking the skirt "But this...I can't possibly accept it, it's much to fine for me."

"Please darling, take it, I made it myself and I've been simply dying for the right person to come along and wear it. It looks beautiful, does it not?" Rarity asked

"It really does, thank you so much." Twilight said, as Fluttershy came over, stroking a bunny's ears

"I didn't know Prince Shining Armor had a brother." Fluttershy whispered

"Yes, Spike, my family adopted him when I was five, he's sixteen too." Twilight replied

"Aww, that's so sweet." Pinkie said, bouncing on her bed

"Yes, um, you said my room was next to yours?" Twilight asked

"Yes darling, we know your roommates, you will love them, though I must say you might not enjoy a few of their habits. They are Princesses, of course, but...well, every Princess is a little different, wouldn't you say?" Rarity asked

"Yes, I guess that is true. Is it true a few of you aren't real Princesses?" Twilight asked

"Well, we were all either born into royal families, or we are to be Royal Assistants. Silver Spoon and Babs Seed are actually Royal Assistants, and will be chosen by Princesses at graduation. The three of us are Princesses, as are your roommates." Rarity said

"Oh, well, I'd better go meet them. Thanks again for the dress Rarity, I'll see you later." Twilight took her suitcase and left their room, they all waved goodbye.

Twilight swiped her keycard on the door and entered. Two girls were lazing on beds, one had multicolored rainbow hair and was bouncing a soccer ball on her head. The second was eating an apple, her orange skirt spread around her

"Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, the new student. Who are you?" Twilight asked, and they looked up

"Rainbow Dash, 'sup?" The girl with the soccer ball said. She was wearing a blue sports jacket with yellow streaks on it. her skirt was more of a sports skirt, not too constricting

"Applejack. Pleasure ta meet ya." the other girl tipped her stetson hat to Twilight "Hey, I recognize that, it's one of Rarity's designs."

"Oh, yes. This girl, Uppercrust, poured her smoothie on me, Rarity gave me this to wear." Twilight said

"Oh, I've had it with that brat! She thinks she's soo much better than us, well wait until I give her some of this! And this!" Rainbow Dash began kicking and punching. Applejack stopped her fist with a hand

"Relax Rainbow, she'll get what's coming to 'er." Applejack said

"So, you know her?" Twilight asked

"Who doesn't? Uppercrust and her gang of friends are the worst. I'm just glad my friends are cooler. You met Pinks and Flutters, right? They're Rarity's roommates." Rainbow asked, and Twilight nodded "They're our friends. So are a few other girls, plus my sister, Scootaloo."

"An' my sis, Apple Bloom, Rarity's got a sister too, her name's Sweetie Belle." Applejack added

"There are some girls who are kinda in the gray area, they're Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer. They're usually nice, but whenever our teachers come along, they try to be the best. They're kind of trapped because their parents want them to succeed and think friends are a waste of time. But they're still like, our semi-friends, because whenever we're alone they're great." Rainbow said

"Okay." Twilight said

"Attention, all Princesses and Royal Assistants report to the gardens for the Tiara Ceremony in ten minutes." Headmistress Celestia came onto the announcements

"Come, on, we've got to go!" Rainbow said, the three of them rushing to change into uniform, then running out the door

They made it to the gardens just in time, sitting down politely next to two other girls in uniform. They had short hair, one fire orange, and the other snowy white.

"Hey Spit, Fleet." Rainbow murmured, and they smiled at her

"Hey Rainbow." the girl with white hair whispered

"Hi guys." the other said

"This is Spitfire and Fleetfoot, they're from the Fire and Ice Kingdoms, respectively. My kingdom, the Light Kingdom, is between theirs, so we've known each other since we were kids." Rainbow explained

"Hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said

"You too." Spitfire said in a low voice, then took Fleetfoot's hand, looking straight ahead

"Do you all know each other from outside of school? This is your first year here too, right?" Twilight asked

"All the royal families and Royal Assistants to-be are introduced to each other at young ages, but kept away from the opposite genders. That way we can get to bond when Prince and Knight Academy has joint classes with Princess Prep." Spitfire explained, and Fleetfoot smiled

"It worked out in thome wayth." she then clapped a hand over her mouth "Dang it, thtupid Fleet, thtupid." Fleetfoot muttered

"She's not supposed to talk with her lisp, parent's orders." Rainbow explained, as Spitfire kissed Fleetfoot's cheek and lifted her chin, whispering to her softly

"It's okay, I don't care. You don't need to hide who you are." Twilight said gently, and Fleetfoot smiled

"Anyway, Fleet meant that she and Spit have been secretly dating. Good thing they're roomies, huh?" Rainbow teased, and they blushed. Rarity, Pinkie, and Flutterhsy took seats nearby, smiling at them, and the group waved. Headmistress Celestia stepped onto the stage in front of the seats, Vice Headmistress Luna behind her

"Hello students, it is my sister and I's great pleasure to welcome you all to Princess Preparatory. Through the course of the year you will be shown what it really means to be a Princess or Royal Assistant. Professor Inkwell and Professor Raven are passing out your tiaras. These will be your practice tiaras until your graduation." Headmistress Celestia said

Twilight placed the tiara on her head gently, tucking it behind her hair. She knew how to place it, when Shining Armor first introduced them to Cadence, Twilight and Cadence had spent hours playing that they were Princesses, along with Twilight's friends. Cadence was attending the school too, Twilight could just see her over the crowd. Cadence would be in more advanced classes, as she was older, and engaged.

"Hey, can you help me?" Rainbow asked, her tiara kept falling. Twilight nodded and helped to adjust it "Thanks. My parents never forced me to wear these things."

"Now, everyone here is expected to attend all classes, be on time, and be in uniform during all classes. You are here because you all have Princess potential. Again, a reminder that Princesses must choose a Royal Assistant by graduation, if they need one. Now, I bid you goodnight, remember to be up bright and early for classes tomorrow." Headmistress Celestia said

"You'll be mine, right?" Diamond Tiara asked Silver Spoon, who linked arms with her

"Totally." she agreed, and they headed off

"Come on guys, let's head to bed." Rainbow said, and they went back to their rooms for the night

Interesting world building. A little wordy in places, but you still have my attention.

[Nosey Flame]

This story sounds familiar. I know. Barbie princess and the charm school.

Yeah, it's going to have elements of that, but it's diverging from the main story of that movie

Raven and Inkwell are the same person. It's Raven Inkwell. Just a friendly correction.
