Sky Scraper's rocky tenure at Crystal Prep comes to an end when he gets into a fight and is expelled. He transfers to Canterlot High, where his family hopes he can pull himself together. Upon arriving at his new school, he meets a lovely girl named Lyra Heartstrings, whose friendship may be just what he needs to help rebuild his self-esteem. And as the semester goes on, their friendship may blossom into something more.
This story begins two months before Friendship Games.

Quite a surprise but a welcome one.
Nice to have you back

My mental health is a lot better now than it was in the spring (why I had to stop writing for a few months).
It's good to be back!
11014926
Glad to hear you are better. i really enjoyed your story of Lyra back then and look forward to the next chapter of this story
11014934
I'm excited to continue writing this story too.
Thanks so much, that means a lot.
11014964
You're welcome, as you know, Lyra#s one of my favorite ponies
All I’m going to say is I wholeheartedly agree with sky, crystal prep is a place that breeds the worst humanity has to offer
11015402
I love Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest, but I'd have to agree that CPA is not a great place. Thanks for reading!
11015464
Hey, your the one wrote such an interesting story, who am I not to read it?
11015466
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying it!
NIcely done!
And good thought, I did the exact same idea, as Bon Bon stuck more with me in memory than Sweetie Drops
11032475
Thank you! I enjoyed writing this.
And yeah, I figured that would be fitting for her character. The name "Sweetie Drops" always sounded a bit weird to me.
11032486
me too, i just prefer the names who are easier to remember and write
Only a 144 views this definitely deserves more views I can already tell this is gonna be a good story also did you make the thumbnail art it looks amazing
11036826
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like my story!
No, I just found the cover art on Derpibooru. It's by an artist called The-Butcher-X, who makes really good Equestria Girls art.
nicely done!
11049477
Thank you!
11049479
You're welcome! Say, if Sky needs more friends, i might have an OC idea for you, just a friendly suggestion/offer
11049485
Sure, I might be able to fit another friend into the story! Feel free to DM me with the details.
Nice enjoying this slow burn story I should've read sooner
11063486
Glad you're enjoying it!
nicely done! Looking forward to see the next chapter.
11072818
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
11072821
you're welcome
Nicely done! Now you got me made thinking...I am pretty sure my friend's OC would also not let that happen to Lyra, if i may say.
And...since we got Snips and Snails in Equestria girls and the cmc, i always wondered if the other foals also have EQ counterparts, like my favorite background foal Dinky, or her friend Pip.
As for the rain, well, training outside and rain, better not catch a cold, right? Besides, it could be worse. I had once to get to work on a rainy and windy day, so my umbrella was useless.
You also got the chat group well portrayed, i am on discord but apart from PMs, you don't see me in server chat groups, as i can't connect to the conversations
11101878
Yeah, Lyra has many admirers in the fandom.
I always figured most characters would. The human counterparts we don't see are either always offscreen or don't live in Canterlot.
When I did cross-country and track in high school, the rainy days were not the fun ones, I'll tell you that!
Yeah, I don't like being in group chats or servers with too many people. Eventually you just lose track of what's going on.
11101898
Mhm. My friend, it was just his original idea that got me and him befriended.
You tell me, but now, i get a stupid thought. How old you think the students are in Equestria Girls? Just had to think how much it would make sense for Derpy to be Dinky's mother in Eq girls too.
I hear ya, i missed once my bus stop was stranded in the rain.
Yep, thus i prefer PMs and I find fim is very user friendly
11101919
In my headcanon, the four Equestria Girls movies take place while the main cast is in their sophomore year of high school, with the later TV specials and YouTube shorts taking place during their junior or senior year. So in this story, Sky would be 16.
11101932
okay then. Eager about what you do with Hanzal and Candy
11101932
When are they gonna have there first kiss 🤩
nice work, as always!
11112396
Thank you so much!
11112399
you're welcome
Room 117?
Chief you mind telling me what you're doing in this fanfiction?
Sir, ponies
11138839
The room numbers aren't references to anything, I just like odd numbers.
nicely done and good joke on the unicorn thing.
And they got it good with the bus, i rarely have that
11144537
Thank you! If pony Lyra is obsessed with humans, it's only fitting that her human counterpart is obsessed with unicorns.
Indeed, trying to catch the bus is always a bit iffy. But not for Sky and the girls - they were having a good day!
11144543
You tell me.
the bus, i lately had the experiences its crowded, thus no place to seat and the drivers won't react to greetings/are somewhat rude
11144587
I don't ride buses regularly, but that sounds pretty typical for public transport at rush hour. Still, that sucks.
11144621
For me, going to work, school bus.
And say,ever thought about Lyra's body Details, if you don't mind me asking?
11145113
Lyra's got some nice visible curves, if you know what I mean.
11145627
yep! pardon, i just had to think of a funny scene with Lyra in that regard
nicely done!
11164388
Thank you! This chapter is mainly meant to be a preview of what's coming up.
11164474
looking forward to it
Aw, now that's romantic.
