She has a new job here as a lawyer in Canterlot. So to support her any way I can, both of us decided to move here with a new house, a new school and, well, a new everything. I was taking a nice long nap in my mom's car. Luckily it’s been very comfortable in some way. As I was taking a good nap, my mom was shrugging in my shoulder knowing we have arrived in our destination. How do I know it's her trying to wake me up? Cause I think I just arrive in my new high school “Bolt…. Lightning bolt, WAKE UP!” She smacks my head to make would wake up. As you finally get up, you see the new high school suppose to attend. Your name is Lightning Bolt. Your hobby is Singing, Play Guitar, Play Video Games, and Read a lot of books. As you got out of your mom’s car, you tap the window and pointed her to the trunk of the car so you could get your guitar and backpack. As you get your stuff, you see your mom drive off to work. You see the campus, very big and wide and also full of students. Some of them are looking at you. As you sigh, you started walking and go inside the school and see a lot of students talking with each other. As you reach into your pocket, you pull out a piece of paper saying your locker number. “Locker 203?” you say in your thoughts. As you were walking all over school, you finally found your locker and notice a rainbow haired girl that just might be your locker buddy. As you walk closer and see your locker, you put in the combination. She notices you right next to her. “Hey I didn’t notice you there, you must be new right?” she said looking at you. As you were about to say something, the school bell rang and she quickly grabs her bag and dashes away. “Sorry, be late for class. Smell you later,” she said while dashing off. As you saw her rainbow hair disappear, you look back at your locker and put away your stuff, well almost all of your stuff. You knew that your guitar couldn’t fit there, so you decided to bring it along to class. As you grab your science book, you notice that someone might be spying on you. You ignore it at first and continue to class, but sees that someone was following you. When you turn around you saw a puffy pink hair girl smiling at you. “Um, can I help you?” You said with a tone. When she looks at your face, the only thing she did was gasp loudly and disappears in mid air. You were confuse of what just happen but ignore it and went to class. As you got close to class, you could already hear the teacher calling out the names of the students. You sigh and enter, getting everyone in the room’s attention. The teacher looks at you and realizes that you are new in the school. You turn your head to the left and saw everybody looking at you. “Ah yes. You must be our new student. Please let me introduce myself. I am Professor Colgate, so please if you like, introduce yourself to the students,” she said, while you look at the students. “Um ok. My name is Lightning Bolt. It’s nice to meet you all,” you told them while you hear whispers from some of the girls. “He kinda cute.” “Look at that red and black hair.” “I think I finally found someone for Valentine’s.” “Alright settle down. Bolt, please take your seat next to Twilight Sparkle over there.” The professor pointed to an empty desk. As you did what she said and took your seat, you look at the girl next to you and smile at her. “Alright class, go to page 345 and let go over some exercises,” Colgate said while grabbing a piece of chalk. As you settled down and grab your book, you just realize that you forgot to bring a pencil. As you struggle to find one, the girl next to you lends you one without asking. As you are about to thank her she smiled and got back to her book. You open your textbook and started reading and then realize that the same girl raised her hand to ask a question. The teacher sees her hand raised and pointed at her. “Yes Twilight Sparkle?” Colgate asks. “Yes. I’m wondering about something that was bugging me and wanted to see if you could answer?” Twilight questions, while you notice everybody sigh, knowing what is going happen. “How do scientists know how to make a flu vaccine if viruses can be different every year?” Twilight said, while you see Colgate smirking. “That is a very good question Twilight. How about letting our classmates answer that.” Colgate looks at your fellow classmates, but everyone stood quiet. “Well?” You stand up and couldn’t resist to just leaving the answer unsolved. “The flu virus changes every year. However, scientists gather information about virus mutations, or changes, before the flu-virus season begins. This lets them predict what each year’s flu virus might look like. Based on that, a vaccine is made that we hope will be accurate enough to help people fight off major cases of the flu,” you say as everyone had their jaw open. “Well, that is fascinating. Ok, how bout this one?” Twilight smiles. You look at her waiting for the question. “What are stem cells?” she asks while you look at the students and the teacher, who looks fascinated by your answer. “Well if I’m correct, stem cells, the basic building blocks of human development, are sometimes called “magic seeds.” That’s because they can regenerate human tissue of various kinds. The use of stem cells is controversial because the best source for the cells is human embryos. Stem cells form four to five days after an egg is fertilized. These embryos must be destroyed to harvest the cells, and those opposing the research consider this the same as taking human life. Those who support stem cell research say that an embryo that is just a few days old is simply a miniscule cluster of cells and not the same as a human life. They maintain that stem cells have the potential to save human lives. Stem cells show promise in being able to one day be able to treat and cure many illnesses and diseases, such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries and other medical conditions” you said while leaving Twilight’s jaw open. “I couldn’t say better myself. Um, I’m Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you.” She offers a handshake and you accept the handshake. “Lighting Bolt.” You introduce yourself again and she smiles. “Well Bolt, I hope we can be friends.” Twilight said while she takes her seat. “Well that was interesting, but let's get back to work shall we class,” Colgate said. She continues writing on the chalkboard and you couldn’t help that you just made a new friend who shares your knowledge of science. As class was over you, find yourself surrounded by girls while you were putting away your textbook. “So what is your hobby?” “Are you single?” “I like your hair.” “Girls, girls, please. I would love to chat and tell you everything, but I’m going to be late for my first day in gym,” you said while trying escape the pile of girls and heading toward the gym. As you went to the gym, you enter without thinking and saw everybody doing a pushup. You notice the rainbow haired girl from earlier and then hear the coach scream at you. “Hey new kid. Get changed. We’re going to play dodge ball!” the coach yelled. You quickly went to the changing room. As you were in the locker room changing, you notice every guy was whispering and looking like they're trying to make a plan. Without any concern, you ignore it and continue changing. As you got out the locker, you were standing next to your classmate. Waiting for the coach start the game of dodge ball, you realize you see everybody shaken and scared for some reason. Your thoughts were broken by the coach approaching. “ALRIGHT LISTEN UP! FOR YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M COACH SPITFIRE AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO PLAY DODGE BALL! SOOO LET FORM THE TEAMS!” Spitfire yelled. She started forming the teams. “Rainbow Dash, Gilda and Lightning Dust, you're in the same team,” Spitfire yelled. You see Rainbow Dash fist bumping Gilda and Lightning Dust. “As the boy team, Flash, Blue Blood and the new kid. All right kid, play clean,” said Spitfire while setting the ball in the floor. As you see the ball on the floor, you see your team is shaking in fear while you’re just calm, not knowing what's going on. As both teams settled and prepare to rush and grab the dodge ball, Spitfire grabs her whistle, looks both ways to see if the teams are ready, then in a second she blows her whistle. You and your team start running and rush to the balls, but you were too late. You see the other team with the balls. You notice your team got scared and started to run in circle. “Alright Rainbow, leave the new kid for last. Eliminate the others,” said Gilda while Rainbow and Lightning Dust strike at Blue Blood and Flash, witnessing their elimination. You look back at the girls and see them smirking. “Alright dweeb, any last request?” As you see Rainbow and Lighting Dust grab the dodge ball, ready to strike, you just shrug not knowing what was going to be your last words. As Gilda smiled, she signals the girls to prepare to throw the ball at you and then looks at you. When she signal the cue, they all threw the ball as hard as they can toward you, but it seems that they are going have a little surprise. As you stood still, you dodge all three balls without moving your body, leaving everyone with their mouth open. “I'm sorry, that was too slow.” You said ticking off Gilda. “What did I just saw?” Rainbow questioned the action that just took place. As Spitfire places the balls back in place, she gives another whistle. Both teams rush to get the balls. Luckily your team got their first. As you grip the dodge ball tight, you see your teammate throw theirs and just got eliminated as they just grabbed it. As you were the last man on the team, you see Gilda preparing herself for your throw. You prepare yourself and threw as hard as you can, knocking back Gilda and getting her eliminated. As she got shocked at first, you just smile and Rainbow took this opportunity to eliminate you. But you instantly grab the ball and make her get eliminated. She has her jaw open, leaving you and Lighting Dust in the game. As she thinks of something to get you eliminated, you sigh yourself and raised your hand. “I forfeit.” Getting everyone confuse, Spitfire didn’t mind and declare the other team winners, making you walk to the bench. You notice the other team coming toward you. “Hey dweeb, you're not half bad,” Gilda complimented you. “Yeah, but why you forfeit?” Lighting questions you. “It's just that I didn’t feel like making you girls lose. Seems you girls have a winning streak and I didn’t wanted to be the new kid who broke the streak.” While you said those words, making Gilda and Lightning Bust blush, you notice the rainbow girl coming toward you. “Hey you ain't bad, next time you can be in our team,” she said with a smile. “I'll think about it,” you said as you get up from your bench. “And name’s Rainbow Dash by the way. Stick with me kid and you can almost be as awesome as me.” She grins while she was too stuck up to her pride, but you just smiled. “Well Rainbow, it's nice to meet you.” You go for a handshake, while she smile and shakes you hand. “Hope we can be friends.” “Hah, totally!” Rainbow smiled and heard the bell ring for next class. “Well I got to go, smell you later.” In the moment Dash dashes away, leaving you with Lighting Dust and Gilda. “Well, name’s Gilda. I’ll catch you later dweeb. We should hang out sometimes. If you need me, I’ll always be in the gym at lunch.” she said while leaving the gym. “I guess I’ll be going to. Name’s Lighting Dust by the way. We should hang also. Well, catch you later.” Lighting jogs to catch up with Gilda. --------------End Of Chapter 1------------------ “Humph, weird school,” you said in your thoughts while you start walking to your locker. “Maybe I’ll like it here.” With that said you left the gym, not knowing what was going happen next. > Chapter 2: Hidden Behind the Shadows (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Hiding Behind the Shadows Written By: Niseoi Edited By: Trader_Jack I was putting my gym clothes back in the locker and picking up my guitar. I was walking to the next class, thinking in my head that I made friends already too quick, well kind of. I don’t know them that much, but at least is a start. As I was walking towards the classroom, I suddenly bump into a girl that made me break my thoughts, trying to realize what I did. “Oh I am very sorry,” I said as I tried to help the girl up. “Its mighty ah right, partner. It happens. Hey, you must be new around here ain't yah.” She got up from the floor and took a good look at my face “Well, yea. I just moved here and got transfer, so today is my first day in school,” I told her. She gave me a smile and offer a handshake. “Well, welcome to Canterlot High. Name’s Applejack.” I accepted the handshake and introduced myself. “My name’s Lighting Bolt.” While I grabbed her hand, she had tremendous strength and almost shook my whole body up and down. The bell rang, grabbing Applejack’s and my attention to go to the next class. “Well, it’s mighty nice meeting ya, Bolt. Maybe we should hang sometime. Well, catch ya later.” And just like that, she went to her class and I went to mine. I started to walk to my next class, looking around as to which one is my next classroom, until I passed a girl with a cello in her hand trying to play music. I decided to ask if she could help me find my class. As I went inside her classroom, I notice she was alone inside here. Weird, maybe she wanted to be alone to practice with her cello. I know I would when I want to be alone to play my guitar or another instrument. I walk behind her and tap her shoulder, only she got startled by me. “Oh, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you,” I said with a smile in my face. “Oh no. It's quite all right. I wasn’t paying attention to who was entering the classroom, but anyhow, can I help you and anything.” She smiles and hides a little embarrassment. “Um yeah. I’m new around here and got transfer today, and I was hoping if you know where I can find Mr. Smith?” I question while she got out of the classroom and pointed me to his classroom. “You go down there by that hall and then turn right and you will find classroom 203,” she said while smiling. “Thank you. Name’s Lighting Bolt by the way.” I greatly introduce myself to the girl. “I’m Octavia Melody. It was nice to meet you, but I need to practice for a rehearsal for next week.” She wanted to be alone to practice. I kind of understand. I am like her. “Oh, of course. See you later,” I said, walking out the classroom until a girl sprinted in front of me, making me fall on my back, wondering what was that. “TAVI!” She sprinted and hugs her friend tightly. “Vinyl Scratch, I demand you let go of me and look at what you did to Bolt!” she scream at her friend, not knowing I was in the floor, still figuring out what just happen. “What? Oh, my bad. Here, let me help you.” Like she said, she helped me up and introduces herself to me. “My name’s Vinyl Scratch, and might I say, hot stuff. Glad I bumped into you.” Ok, this girl is freaking scaring me now. “Um, it's nice to meet you. I’m Lighting Bolt,” I nervously said while Octavia came beside us. “I’m terribly sorry for my friend here. She’s always likes this.” Octavia looks at Vinyl while her music and head bumping the air distracted her. “It's quite alright. Well, I’ll catch you later. Good luck in your practice.” I left her alone with her friend, when Vinyl came up and said, “Soooo, is he single?” “VINYL SCRATCH WHY KINDA QUESTION WAS THAT!” “What? He is new in school and I was just wondering. Soooo, is he single?” I couldn’t help to laugh softly at their little fight while I left the classroom. I was heading to my classroom and saw multiple students coming out the classroom where I was heading to, and made myself think that I was late. I appear in front of the door while I saw one teacher erasing in the board. “Excuse me, I am new in this school and I think I was late for your class. I’m terribly sorry.” I apologize to the teacher while he looks at smile and me. “Its quite alright, sunny. It happens. Just don’t be late for tomorrow, ok, so you can introduce yourself to the class.” he said while he got his bag. A girl came to the door, come inside, and put an apple in the desk. “Ah, Miss Doo. Like always I thank you for this fine apple you got me. I tell you, one time I said apple are rubbish, and now I can't stop myself to liking them, well except for butter. Butter is still the best.” Is he kind of mad? Who eats butter? I even saw butter in his pocket. Wait, he brings butter in school? “No problem, Doctor,” she said while she looks at me and notice me. “Hi! Name Ditzy Doo, but my friend calls me Derpy. I don’t know why. Seems cause of my eyes.” Oh, I never notice she had a lazy eye. “Hi. My name’s Lighting Bolt. I was apologizing to Mister Smith here that I got lost cause I am new around here.” “Oh ok. Well, I wish we can get to know each other, but I need to go home now. School’s over and my family will get worried if I suddenly appear late.” “Ah yes. Miss Doo, I was going to visit your house to talk with your parents about something.” Smith said. “Of course Doctor, but about what?” “I'll explain on the way. Well Bolt, I’ll see tomorrow in class.” He welcome for a handshake. “Will do.” I shook his handshake, and just like that he and Ditzy left the classroom leaving me all alone. As I was in the classroom, I decided that I should stay in school for a moment, cause I know my mom won't be at home now, so ill catch up some reading. It was a nice day in school, hoping see what will happen tomorrow. I took a seat in the classroom and started reading my novel. Two hours later, I saw the sun going down and decided to go home. I grab my bag and my guitar and was walking down the hall. I notice the classroom where I meet Octavia and Vinyl, and then I notice a piano inside. I felt like playing it to see if I still got it like how my grandpa taught me. I entered the classroom and took a seat in front of the piano. I already thought to myself that my mom is a very important person in my life. Also, my dad is in the military, but I miss him every time I think about him. He visits at Christmas time and even video chats with me on my laptop when he was having free time. But my father is a great guy, and my mom is also. I love my family, but without my dad, I can't stop thinking about him and how he is doing. Everyday I have a fear inside of me and pray to god he is all right and he going to visit this upcoming Christmas. Once I was in my thought, I haven’t even noticed I was playing the piano and started thinking about my father. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I finish my song and Notice a tear in my and then heard someone from behind me. Making me startled, I turn around and notice a familiar face. It was Octavia. She was amazed for my talents. She took a step forward towards me. “That was amazing. Um, sorry if I was interrupting, but I have to say that was simply amazing what you did there.” She hid a slight of blush in her face, making me smile and thanking her for her compliment. “Thanks. What are you doing here anyways? I thought everybody in school left to go home.” “Oh, they did. But, um, I forgot something here in the classroom, and I notice you playing the piano, and I got interested in hearing you play.” “Oh. Well ok. Um, what did you come back for?” “My notebook” Octavia said, pointing to a notebook in a desk. saw her walking towards the desk and picking up her notebook. As she walks back towards the exit, she stops and turns around, looking straight at me. “Um, hey. If you don’t mind, there is a music club in this school. And I was hoping if you haven’t joined a club yet, well I was wondering if you like to join?” She smiles at me, but she was looking a little shy as she was looking straight in the ground waiting for my answer. “I'll think about it. This is my first day of school and tomorrow will be my second day so ill see,” I said with a smile and picking up my guitar. “Great! I mean *Cough* that good. Um, I’ll see you around tomorrow then.” She left the classroom and I thought I heard someone said yes like an excited tone. ------------------End of Chapter 2----------------------- I smiled and looked out the window of the class and saw the beautiful sun going down. Then I close my eyes and wish my dad were doing ok around the military. I walk out the classroom and got out the school, thinking about what wait for me tomorrow in this new school. > Chapter 3: Second Day Of Canterlot High (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: Second day of Canterlot High Written By:Niseoi Edited By:Trader_Jack It was early in the morning and I just woke up from my deep slumber. I tried to realize it was already morning. I was going to be late if I don’t get up. But sadly the bed was too damn comfy. I had to get up. I really don’t want to be late on the second day of school. I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom to wash myself up. I brushed my teeth, wash my face, and went to my closet to pick something to wear. I put on a black t-shirt with blue jeans and with my red beanie. I went downstairs to find my mom cooking me some breakfast. She notices me walking in the kitchen and gave me a warm smile to always start my day. I went to the coffee table and waited for my breakfast. I notice the newspaper headline saying ‘Guy saves a cat in a burning building’. I thought to myself that it could have been dangerous, but at least good people exist in this world. Something brought my attention when I notice my breakfast in the table in front of me. “Thanks, Mom.” I said while I pick up my fork. Mom always makes great breakfast and today was pancakes. Yum. “No problem honey. Now eat up. I don’t want you to be late for school.” she pats my head and walk towards the living room. I was eating my breakfast and kept reading the newspapers after I notice something saying “Help Wanted for entertainment This Saturday DJ Booth”. I grab a nearby marker and mark it. I got interested in the job. It’s a great time to take a look around town and see what it brings to my new home. I look at my mom who was ready to leave. “Hey, mom. Are there any plans for Saturday? If there aren’t, can I go to a club? They’re hiring for entertainment.” I looked at my mom waiting for an answer. “Um. I don’t think so. Sure you can go, but don’t be home late, ok?” she said while grabbing her car keys and going outside to wait for me. “Sweet!” I said while I finish my leftover pancake and went towards my mom. I was dropped off in front of my school, and my mom leaving for another day at work. I was walking towards the school while a friendly rainbow hair girl pat my back hard like I was already her best bud. “Hey Bolt. What cracking dude?” Rainbow asked while walking right next to me towards my locker. “Hey Rainbow. And nothing much. Just talked to my mom to see if I can go to a club to entertain. Seem that they need help,” I said while arriving at my locker. “Oh, that's cool. When and where is the club so I can see you entertain? And I'll be honest with you dude. If your entertainment is gonna make me fall asleep, is not my fault” she said with a joking tone. “Thanks…I guess? And it's on Saturday at a place called-” I check the newspaper to see the location and I found the location where it was being held “the Ever Free Club?” “I know where that is. It’s ok if I invite my friends so they can see you play?” Rainbow asked, awaiting my answer. “Um, sure. I don’t mind,” I gladly said, while I heard the bell ring and saw everybody going to class. “Well, I’m going to class now. Catch you later, Rainbow.” “Yeah see ya.” She waves and disappears to go to her class. Three hours has past and it was already lunchtime. I picked up my book bag and went to the cafeteria to see what's for lunch. As I enter the lunchroom, a familiar puffy pink haired girl notice me and was waving to sit with her at the table. First things first. I was kinda scared cause she was stalking me yesterday and just disappear without saying anything. But when I took a good look at the table I notice familiar faces. I walk towards and saw Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Twilight at the table. I took a seat next to Twilight and the pink hair girl. “HEYSORRYYESTERDAYSEEIKNOWEVERYBODYINSCHOOLAND-” She was cut off by Twilight when she put her hand in her mouth to take it easy. “Pinkie, take it easy. Sorry for that, Bolt. This is Pinkie Pie. She’s kinda a party planner in this school and has a lot of energy,” Twilight said. “Oh ok. Um...” I look at Pinkie, giving my hand to her to have a handshake. “It's nice to meet you Pinkie. Name’s Lightning Bolt.” She took my hand and shook it very hard. Made me jump up and down in my seat. “It’s nice to meet you. Name’s Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie Pie, or Pinkie for short!” “Alright, alright, easy there partner.” Applejack said to make her release me. “It’s nice to see you again Bolt. It’s great to see that you met half of us. Let me introduce to you to Fluttershy. She’s a little shy, but she very kind.” I look towards her right and notice a very shy girl who was hiding her face under her hair. “Um, it’s nice to meet you, Fluttershy.” I try to reach my hand for a handshake, but she pulls back a little in a very shy way. “Um…i-its…n-nice…t-to…m-meet…y-you.” Fluttershy said. “And this is Rarity. She takes care of the outfits in this school when we have a special event coming for this school.” Applejack said. “Hello darling. It’s nice to meet you, and I might say, um, not being rude but…what are you wearing?” Rarity said pointing at my clothes. “Um, it my clothes?” I said with a very confuse tone. “Oh, I know darling, but a very handsome man like you needs better clothing, and I would gladly make an outfit for you if you insist. Just come by to my boutique downtown and I’ll gladly help you.” she smiled. “Thanks, I guess?” I questioned. “So Bolt, Twilight said that you totally nail her answer yesterday when you two met,” Rainbow said. “Um yeah. She asks a science question and I gladly answer.” I looked at Rainbow. “You see, there’s not a lot of eggheads in this school, and the only egghead I know is Twilight,” Rainbow looked at Twilight. “What Rainbow is trying to say is that not a lot people in this school are very talented in science. But putting that out the way, Rainbow said you're going to perform in the Ever Free Club. Is that true?” Twilight questioned. “Well yeah. I noticed in the newspaper that they need help on DJ, and I wanted to perform, and it’s a good idea too, since I am new in this town and its great to see what it brings to my new home,” I said with a smile. “That great. Well, Rainbow asked us to go, and we will gladly see you perform,” Twilight said with a smile on her face. Well, at least I got people to enjoy my entertainment this Saturday, so I feel calm somehow. ************Few Hours****************** Well, at first I was kinda nervous to go to the club to perform. Hopefully, they can hire me to perform, and my new six friends can see me. Well Saturday is around the corner. It won't help if I keep thinking about it. I was heading to the locker room to get ready for gym class. You can figure on the second day of school and the coach wants us boys to do laps around the pool, while all the girls are watching and waiting for their turn. I mean I'm not ashamed of my body. In fact, I do work out a lot and it shows a very good process of my abs. The point was that I don’t like to take off my shirt in public. I put on a white t-shirt, got out the locker room, and was lining up with the other guys. As I look forward, I see a familiar face. I see Rainbow arm wrestling with Applejack, and Fluttershy hiding behind the bench, so it figures that she doesn’t want anyone to see her school bathing suit. And then I see Twilight reading and Pinkie doing god knows what. And last, Rarity looking beautiful as always. Later I spot someone familiar. It was Octavia and Vinyl talking. Octavia notices me staring and waves at me. Happily I waved back as Octavia was waving. Vinyl noticed her and me. Putting a very big smile, I noticed her inhale some air for some reason. “YO BOLT WHATS UP!!! HEY, IF YOU’RE SINGLE, CALL ME!!!” Vinyl yelled, while every girl in the gym was giggling. I had literally face palmed myself, hiding my face of embarrassment. After that incident, I notice the coach come in and blowing the whistle, making me and the other guys line up firmly. She inspects all the guys to make sure everyone is ready. But by the look of it, these guys were flexing muscles and showing off their bodies. Heck, even a nerd was doing the same thing. And it hit me. Are they really showing off to the girls to see their male side? By the look of their “show” I was the only guy who wasn't showing off. Like I said, first, I don’t like showing off and, second, I really don’t like showing my chest to other people, especially girls. As Spitfire finally came up to me, she realized that I was wearing a shirt. And by the look of her face, she wasn’t happy. “Bolt, I know you're new in this school. But we’re about to swim and I don’t want you to swim with a shirt on.” Spitfire pointed at me. “I knew you were about to say that. It's just that I don’t like being shirtless around people I hardly know,” I explain to Spitfire. “Look, you’re a man. Take off that shirt this instant and no buts. We are going to do laps around the pool, so man up,” Spitfire commanded. I sighed and nodded my head. I don’t want to argue with my teacher if she say suck it up and then have to do what the teacher orders. I started to take off my shirt and all I could hear are the girls whistling and a “Ohh-hh-hh.” And then, I swear to god, I heard Vinyl in the background yelling, “Hubba hubba!” I felt she threw a quarter at me. I was blushing red while all the girls were eyeing me. Heck, Twilight closed her book and examines me like I was the book. “I hate this so much,” I mumbled. “Alright ladies. Twenty laps around the pool. Lets go, let's go!” She blew the whistle and we started doing laps around the pool. Twenty minutes pass and it was the girls’ turn to do laps. Me and the other boys sat down in the bench while we see the girls getting ready, I simply grab my novel and starting reading where I left off, while the boys were staring like hungry perverts at the girls. I was reading and heard someone yelling my name. I rose my head forward and saw Rainbow Dash waving at me. I smirk and wave back. Then I notice behind Rainbow the other girls were glaring at her with a slight of jealousy. As I look at them, it was like seeing a pack of wolf ready to attack their prey on TV. I got back to my book and someone called my name. I was thinking I was never going to finish my book. I rose my head again and saw a girl that I never saw before or met her. She had a green mint hair and a lyre logo on her front bathing suit. I was still new around here so I had to wave back. As I wave back I heard her squeal and playful fainted into her friends arms. I look at her friends who were holding her and she gave an awkward smile saying ‘don’t pay attention to my dumb friend’. Spitfire blew the whistle getting the girls ready for the lap around the pool. I sigh to myself thinking I could get some reading down after a few minute of peace and quiet reading my novel. Each time I hear a whisper when the girls passed by the bench were I am sitting, I think I could tell what they were saying. I think all of them were saying ‘he is not looking’ or ‘please look over here’. I sigh and knew I wouldn’t get any reading done. I put down my book and watch the girls doing laps. Another twenty minutes pass and we went back to our locker to get ready for the next class. I was changing back to my clothes until one of the guys approaches me and making me realize he was next to me. “Yo, new guy!” he said. “Um Hello?” I said with a confused tone. I saw the guy in front of me. He has blue hair, similar to Vinyl, thinking this must be her brother. “Sup, name Shining Armor and I kinda need your help. First, I know what you are going to say. You just met me, and blah blah blah. But you’re the only one who the girls are very interested in and I thought since you got almost all the girls in school gazing at you-” I cut him off before he completed his sentence. I was confused at first, but then I realize that maybe he is saying that to fool around. I am new here and no girl is interested in a boring guy like me. But seeing him looking so desperate, guessing he really needs help on something, knowing I just meet him. But it wouldn't hurt to help him out. “Ok, ok. Name’s Lighting Bolt. And I don’t know what you are talking about, but I guess I'll help, I think?” “Oh thank you, dude. I mean it!” he said, grabbing me and hugging me tight. Like very tight. “Before...I could…help...you...I need…to breathe…first...” I said, struggling for air. “Oh sorry.” He lets go of me, rubbing his neck with his hand. “So meet me after school and I'll tell you what I need help, ok?” -----------------End of Chapter 3------------------ As I was about to say something, I saw him exiting the locker and making me look back at him. I saw him happy for some reason. Well, if he really needs my help, I guess I can give him a hand at whatever he needs help with. > Chapter 4: A Shining Help (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4:Shining Help Written by: Raikiry Edited by:Trader_Jack So there I was in class still confused about earlier today about that guy who wanted my help for something. I don’t remember his name. I think his name was Shining Armor? Still, why does he want help from a new student who got here yesterday? I don’t get it. I sigh to myself and decided to push the thoughts in the back of my head and focus on class, I don’t want to be a slacker now. I was focusing in my class until I notice something in my right side window. I saw a girl who was chatting with her friends. Sometimes I wonder to myself, how we guys understand women, is like understanding how a dog talk. Well, a dog can't talk but eh. I was looking at the girl and then I notice Shining Armor behind her acting kind of nervous all of sudden. Something tells me he wants to talk to this girl. A few minutes past and I rush towards Shining, and I saw the girl leaving the same time I arrive. Ok, if I’m correct, I’m guessing he wants help on asking this girl out, but what do I know about girls? Like really, I don’t know anything. As she left the hall, I see Shining Armor making a love dove face while looking at her. I swear if he was doing that to each girl he had a crush on, he’s lucky no one has called the police on him. I approach him and snapping my fingers to get his attention. “So I am guessing the help you want is to ask a girl out?” I said to Shining. “Not just any girl dude, her name is Mia Amore Cadenza. Um, Candace for short,” Shining said while giving an awkward smile. “Sooo, ask the girl out,” I told him, and suddenly he gave me a face telling, ah hell nah. Well, something to put it anyways. “I can’t dude, I’m sorta nervous,” he tells me. “You see, she the most beautiful girl ever in school, and I’m not cut out for her.” Shining looks down and I see a frown in his face. Ok, this is getting really serious. If someone tells me, he or she isn’t cut out for her or him, they really love this person. “Look Shining, I tell you what. If you really need my help on asking this girl out I’ll help but,” I said raising a finger, “you have to promise me one thing. Don’t tell yourself you aren’t cut out for her. Love if for everyone, by the heart not by looks. So let start thinking a way for you to ask her out.” Shinning Armor’s smile grew wide and started to grasp and hug me, making me struggle for air again. “Oh, um sorry,” Shinning said while putting me down. “Ok let’s go and get that crush of yours, before I end up in a hospital,” I said while leading the way where Candace went. Shining and I made our way to the cafeteria, seeing she went that way since its lunchtime. We enter the lunchroom and suddenly I felt a force pull me into a hiding place. And guess who it was? Yep, Shining Armor telling me that she found her in a table with her friends. I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was helping a friend, not a chicken. Shining releases me and I take a look where she was. Well, I guess is show time and tell Shining Armor what to do. “Ok Shining, go up to her and talk to her,” I said giving a push to Shining. “Are you mad! I’m too shy to go and talk to her. You know how hard it is to talk to a beautiful girl,” he said giving a face that he just saw a ghost. “It’s not that hard. She’s just a human being. Look, watch, I’m going to talk a girl,” I said while looking for a random girl to talk to. As a chosen a random girl, I walk up to her, where she was eating and chatting with her friend. While Shining Armor was looking at me from behind, I sat down at her table with her friend, without her noticing. “Hi,” I said to the girl that suddenly and surprisingly notice and recognize my voice. She turns around to my attention, and then suddenly, she pauses and looks at me. This girl looked familiar. Oh, now I remember, she was the same girl from gym class. Huh? She kinda cute. As she was about to say something, I notice she was blushing and fainted. I look at her friend and gave me an awkward smile saying, “Don’t mind my friend. She’s always like that.” I got up from my seat and went back towards Shining. I was still confused on what just happen, and notice Shining had his jaw open. If he does not close that mouth of his soon, I think he will dislocate it. “Dude, you’re a god. Teach me,” Shining said with puppy dog eyes. “What? Oh shut up. That was a misunderstanding. Maybe she was sleepy and had to take a nap.” I lied to myself still figuring out what just happen. “Uh huh, in the lunch room?” Shining cross his arms and smirk at me. “Look, go up to her and talk her, get to know her a little,” I said pushing him towards Candace’s table. At first he hesitated, but then he took a long deep breath and started walking up towards her. I notice something, was Candace blushing when she notice Shining Armor approach her? Finally, I saw him talking to his crush; at least they were having a good talk. It was looking good; they were sharing a laugh at least. Since that’s been covered and Shining is talking to his crush, I think I’ll grab something to bite. As I walk towards lunch lady and told her one hamburger and soda. She gave me my food and I happily went to a table. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turn around and I saw the same girl that just fainted a few minutes ago. “Oh hey you're that girl, that keeps fainting for some reason.” I said giving her a smirk. She blushes hard and started playing around with her hair. “Yea, I’m so sorry about that. Um, my name is Lyra Heartstring. It’s nice to meet you. Um, do you mind if I sit with you?” she said while still playing with her hair. I smile at her and nodded and sat at my table and with her sitting in front of me. I really didn’t mind people eating with me. I always like to meet new friends. I started eating my food and surprisingly I saw her looking something behind me. I look behind me and I saw her friend whistling like those cartoons on TV. I look back at Lyra and I decided to start a conversation. “Um tell me about yourself, Lyra,” I said while eating my food. “Oh um, well I’m a musician, I play the lyre and I am in a music club. The other member of the club and I play a little concert on special activities at school.” Lyra said while giving a warm smile. “Thats kinda cool. A friend of mind suggesting to join the music club. Since, you know, I play guitar and sing a little.” I said while finishing my meal. “Oh really, if there’s no trouble, you should join us and we can get to know each other a little better,” she said. “You know what, I would like to meet new people and I do like music. Ok I’ll try and see if I can join the music club when I can.” I smile at her and she gave a cute little blush each time I smile at her. Weird? As I was chatting with Lyra. A familiar rainbow haired girl appears behind me and sat next to me. “Hey Bolt, What’s up!” Rainbow said. “Oh hey, Rainbow. Nothing much, just talking with Lyra.” I said. Rainbow look at Lyra and smile “Oh really, well thats cool. Hey I was going to ask you something. Me and the team, we’re missing one player to play soccer this Saturday, early in the morning and I was wondering if you're interested in playing?” Rainbow asks. I know i needed to go to that club for that one night job, but it was in the middle of the night. It won't hurt playing a little sport with a friend. “Sure, I’ll be there,” I said. “Great. Come to my place. I live right around the block close to Canterlot High. You won't miss it, and we'll go together to the park,” she said leaving excited and exiting the cafeteria. “Well, I guess I’ll be playing soccer. So Lyra about that club, do you know how I can register?” I turn to Lyra. “What. Oh right, don’t worry. I’ll tell the president about you. She will probably want to meet you.” Lyra said. “Oh ok, how about this. I’ll meet you after school, and you can show me the club and I’ll talk to your president.” I told her, and suddenly she was blushing hard and gave a smile that she was excited to hear that from me. “Um…s-sure…no problem.” She snickers. “Cool, I'll meet you after school then,” I said while getting up from my table. I told her. She got up the chair and went back towards her friend. Looking how happy she was, I’m guessing she is very happy about me letting her introduce to me to the club. I look at Lyra and felt Shining coming towards me with a smile on his face. So I guess his pep talk with Candace went well. “So how it went?” I question Shining. “Um well, we talk for a while, and then I notice we had a lot in common. But then my mouth wouldn’t shut up and I ask her out on a date on Saturday night.” Shining look down seeing he wasn’t ready for that. “What should I do?” He asks me. “Well, just be yourself and take her somewhere to dance and have dinner. I’m guessing she would love that.” I said. “Maybe I can take her to the Ever Free Club this Saturday.” Shining said while I notice what he said. “Hey! Me and six of my friends are going to be there. I’ll do what I can to support you while I’m working this Saturday. Sounds good?” I smiled. “Really? Oh man you’re a lifesaver Bolt. I'll meet you at Saturday night,” he said while he gives me his number. “Ok,” Shining got up from his table and exited the cafeteria. “Now let's see, Later going with Lyra to that music club, Tomorrow early in the morning going to play soccer with, rainbow and later to the club” well sound its going to fun. ------------End of Chapter 4------------ I heard the bell ring and it was time to go to my next class. Well, this school keeps impressing me better and better. > Chapter 5: Lyra Heartstring and a New Best Friend (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: Lyra Heartstring and a New Best Friend Written By: Niseoi Edited By: Trader_Jack I was in the middle of the hall over thinking the materials that the teacher gave us in class in Spanish. “Seems pretty easy if I think about it.” I thought to myself. I was walking towards to my locker and notice a mint green girl waiting for me. She smiled when she notice me walking towards her. I remember that Lyra is going to show me the music club. Hopefully, it will go smooth without her fainting. “Hey Lyra, I’m ready to meet your club manager,” I said while opening my locker and putting my materials in. “That’s great. The club is right around the corner so it’s close by,” Lyra said with a warm smile. I smiled at her and was ready to go. With this, she notices I was ready and led the way. As I was walking the hallway to go towards the club, I notice Gilda was exiting the classroom and notice me. “HEY DWEEB!” She screams and waves at me happily. I wave back. “Does she say hi like that to all her friends?” I thought to myself and notice we arrive at the club. “We are here, Sir Bolt,” Lyra said with a tone of I was royalty and giggle while she open the door. As I enter the room I notice familiar faces in the room. Octavia was in the background practicing her cello. I notice Vinyl was in a room working on tech. Then, I notice a girl with red and orange hair with a clipboard. Guess she must be the club president. “SUNSET, THERE’S SOMEONE I NEED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO!” scream Lyra, making my ears ring. The girl turns around and notices us in the room, and gave us a warm smile, walking towards us. “Hey, Lyra. Who’s your friend?’’ She said looking at me. “Oh, I’m sorry. Name’s Bolt, Lightning Bolt, miss?’’ I said while reaching for a handshake. “Sunset Shimmer, Sunset for short. So what can I do to you Mister Bolt?” she said, accepting the handshake. “Well you see-” I was interrupted by Lyra who finishes my sentence in a flash. “Heisheretojointhemusiclub!’’ Lyra said with a giant smile on her face. “Um yeah, what she said,’’ I said with a confused look of what just happen. “Well, if you’re interested in joining, I’ll gladly let you in. But you need to show me your talents. What can you play?” Sunset asks while starting to write in the clipboard. “Well, I can play piano, guitar, I can sing, I can play the drums and-” Lyra yet again interrupts me. “He can play any instruments,’’ Lyra said to Sunset. “Um, yeah what she said,” I look at Sunset. “Well how about you play us a little song, and I can see your skills sound good?” she said pointing the piano behind her. “Wait? You want me to play now?” I said with a nervous tone. “Yeah, it seems easy enough, right?” Sunset said, moving out of the way while I look at the piano. “Um okay, pretty easy I guess.” I took a seat in the piano to start playing it, out nowhere in the corner of my eye the door swung open and Gilda appears. "Is this going to be a thing?" I thought to myself. “What’s up, Dweeb!” Gilda yelled to the top of her lungs and saw everybody looking at her. “What?” “Ah, Miss…Gilda. What a splendid surprise. What are you doing here?” Octavia said looking at Gilda. “Oh. Well, I saw Bolt come here so I said to myself, let’s try to get to know the new guy. So ba bitty bop I’m here” Gilda share an innocent smile. “Sup Gilda!” Vinyl came down in her tech room and fist bumps Gilda. “We were about to hear hot stuff here play the piano.” Gilda looked at me and notice me at the piano. At the exact moment she saw me in the piano, I think I heard her giggling and coughing *Loser*. I swear I have a feeling this is going to be a long day. “Well if you like to hear him, Gilda, you’re more than welcome to now.” At the moment, she looks at me, the bell rang and everybody needed to leave. But then, Sunset stops everyone from leaving. “Now, now everyone. We don’t have to rush to go home. Don’t you all want to hear him sing a little? He is our new member of the club.” Everybody look at each other. They smiled and sat back where they were seated. Even Gilda took a seat to hear me play. “And here I thought I could read a little in the library.” Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a rainbow haired girl hiding outside the room. Maybe she doesn't want her rep to go down. But what song should I play? For a brief moment, I was thinking what to play. Then I thought about something in my head. Hope they like this song. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Plays Song) At the moment, I was playing the song, I noticed that Octavia was playing her cello to support my song, and I have to say it was beautiful. I continue on playing and out my head I started thinking about my father. I blew my heart out in this song. I couldn’t stop. It was a beautiful moment for me and I was in the zone. I forgot that everybody was still listening. At the moment, I was in the zone, my mind was wandering in space. I could see the music notes all around me. I could see my mother and father together watching me play. It was beautiful. I hope my father’s listening, wherever he is. He always knows mom and me are right next to him in the battlefield. The song ended and I was back in the classroom. I saw everybody with their mouth open and crying. I think I saw Gilda and Lyra crying their eyes out. At the moment, I forgot Rainbow Dash was hearing the song. I looked at the door and notice her blushing like a wine red. It was like she didn't hear anything like that ever in her life. “Well. Bolt welcome to the club. And also, that was the most beautiful song ever.” Sunset said while she wipes tears off her face. “Oh, it was no problem. I should thank Octavia for helping me in the song.” I look at her and gave her a warm smile. “Oh! Um, it was nothing Bolt. It was beautiful how you started, and I had to interfere in the song” Octavia gaze at the ground blushing. “Well everyone, it’s time to go home. I'll see you all on Monday.” Sunset smiled and left the classroom. Rainbow Dash enters the classroom and pats me in the back. “Dude that was awesome. I heard some good musicians in this school, but not good as you.” Rainbow said. “Thanks, Rainbow Dash. Oh hey, is the soccer play still up for tomorrow? ”I asked. “Yeah totally. Like I said, pick me up at my house. You won't miss it. And Gilda is going play with us tomorrow. Right Gilda?’’ Rainbow and I looked at Gilda who was still crying with Lyra. “That was beautiful,” Lyra said crying so hard like a baby. “Don’t cry Gilda, don’t you cry!” Gilda kept repeating herself while holding off some tears. “Well, I'll take that as a yes.” I got up from the chair and wave goodbye at Rainbow. I walked back to my locker and open it to grab my book bag. I notice Octavia was walking towards me. Something was weird. She’s nervous about something. “Hey Octavia, need help on something,” I said. “Um yes, I mean no, I mean-” Octavia took a deep breath and grab my hand, and wrote her phone number in my palm. “That’s my number. If you like to ask me anything, don’t hesitate to call” “Oh okay. Sure thing, Octavia,” I said with a smile on my face and closing my locker. “And also…you can call me Tavi,” Octavia said nervously while blushing hard. “Um sure. If that okay with you, I mean?” I asked. “Oh, of course. Well, I got to get going. I'll see you on Monday, maybe?” She said gazing at the floor. ------------End Chapter 5------------------ “Sure, I'll see you on Monday.” With that, Octavia started to walk towards the exit, and I was writing her number in my phone and started to exit the area. Today was an awesome day. Let’s hope I can do well in that soccer play tomorrow. > Chapter 6: Soccer Time and Show Time (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: Soccer Time and Show Time Written By: Niseoi Edited By:Trader_Jack Well, it was time for me to start getting ready to go pick up Rainbow Dash. It was Saturday in the morning and I already ate breakfast and said goodbye to my mother. As I was walking down the street, a thought came to my head, wondering about something. Is it okay for me to come play soccer? I mean I am new to this town. Is it ok for me to play sports? Hope I don’t screw it up. I look to my right and in my view I saw the academy of Canterlot High. Not far now from Rainbow’s place. She said that I won’t miss her house, and surprisingly she was correct. I didn’t miss her house. At my view, I saw a house that had a second floor and a sports car saying RD on the back of the car. I walk towards the house and knock three times. At first, there was no answer, but then I heard footsteps coming through the door. The door open and reveal a man with rainbow-like hair. I guess that this is her father. I wasn’t nervous around him cause I know how parents can be around there kids. “Hello sir. I came here to pick up Rainbow. She said she wanted to go play soccer with me,” I said to her father. “Ah yes, you must be the kid that Rainbow told me about when she came home. Please, come in. She’s upstairs getting ready. Name’s Blaze.” he said letting me into their house. I took a seat in the kitchen waiting for Rainbow and I saw her father making drinks. “So tell me about yourself a little,” he said with a smile. “Ah. Well, I just moved here to Canterlot. I play a little guitar or just play almost everything. I don’t like to brag about my talents” I said looking around the area I am in. The house was beautiful. I look around and it seems Mr. Blaze has a great job if he had a lot of expensive materials. I stop gazing around the house and look at Blaze, who was staring at me oddly. “Um, is something wrong sir?” I ask. “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just that you remind me of someone, and surprisingly you look a lot like him,” he asks, looking me very close. Then I heard a tomboy voice coming down the stairs. “Hey, Dad. What are you doing?” Rainbow said to her father. “Oh, morning Sweetheart, I wasn’t doing nothing.” Blaze said stepping back and started drinking his juice. “Hey Rainbow.” I look at Rainbow, who looked at me next. “Hey, Bolt!” She salutes. “Ready to go?” “Ready when you are.” I said, getting up from the chair. But then her father spoke. “Wait, Bolt.” He said looking at me very closely. “What’s your full name son?” I was weird out when he ask for my full name. Well weirder out cause I was getting nervous around him now. “Um, Lighting Bolt sir.” And that’s what clicks him. His eyes widen and had a big smile on his face, looking like he recognized someone. “YOU MUST BE THE SON OF LIGHTENING CLOUD!” He screams with somewhat joy. Here I see Rainbow’s face full of embarrassment. Aw poor Rainbow. I look back at him and nodded at him saying that is my father. “Oh, your Father and I are best friends. We graduated together. Well until he left to the army. It's nice to see he has a son. So tell me, how is he?” he ask. “Oh, my dad is still on duty, but I think he’ll come to visit on Christmas Day,” I said with a smile on my face. It was true, last night my dad and I were talking and I told him all the new things that happen to me in school. All the friends I made and the club I joined. I was so happy to talk with my father again since I haven’t seen him for a while. “That’s great. Maybe later Rainbow can tell me where you live so I can see your mom too. I was a classmate with your mom. And also, I was the one who hook up your dad and mom. It’s weird that the last time I remember, all three of us went camping and then I heard some interesting sou-“ “OKAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION!” Rainbow said pushing me out the door. At this point I was left with a broken mind cause of the information I just heard. “Catch you later dad,” and with that, Rainbow and I left the house. “Jeesh, what crawl up in her skirt? I was just going to tell him that I heard an interesting sound that was making a fox. His father and I looked at the fox,” he said as he continues drinking his juice. Rainbow Dash and I were walking down to the park and was still somewhat confused on the interesting sound. There was complete silence while walking with Rainbow, but then she broke the silence. “That’s cool that your dad and my dad are best friends, don’t you say?” Rainbow said. “Yeah, small world I guess.” I told her with a smile. Out of nowhere, I heard someone yelling at us from afar. “DWEEB!” It sounded like Gilda, and I was correct. It was Gilda yelling at Rainbow and me, noticing that we were close to the park. We enter the park and I notice other people who were going to play with us. Two girls and one boy, well make it two, counting me. One of the girls had color in her hair and it seems that she was an athlete like Rainbow. “Bolt, you already met Lightning Dust, but not Lemon Zest.” She introduces me to Zest, and I nodded and waved at them. “And this guy right here is named is Griff. He’s Gilda little brother.” I waved at him and he smile back and did the same action as me. “Well, that settles it. Griff, Bolt and me versus Lightning Dust, Rainbow and Zest.” Gilda cheered and patted me in the back with brute force. I think my back was dislocated. My team, or otherwise Gilda, Griff and me were up against Lightning, Rainbow, and Zest. I forgot to tell them that I hardly play sports. Uh oh. Well, let see how this goes. We started the first match and I see Gilda with the ball. If I was correct, not being an expert in this, she was trying to get the ball in the opposite team’s net. Well seem easy. At the corner in my eyes, I see RD stealing the ball and sprint towards our net. I look at how fast she can run. I took a long breath. I ran and ran so fast I think I caught up with Rainbow. I look at the ball and I see Rainbow’s face. For some reason, she smirks at me. “Come on dude. Try to see if you can steal it from me, if you can take it,” Rainbow said with a smirk. I looked at the ball and see her doing a lot of tricks with it, so I can’t take it from her. She really likes being a show-off. In my head, I try to see how I’m going to take it, and I thought of something. At the instant when she passes the ball next to her right leg, I immediately stole it and went to their net. With a powerful kick, I sent it to a goal. Rainbow Dash’s mouth was open in surprise. She was wondering how I did that. With that, she put on a smirk and two words form in her mouth. “Game on!” she said. It been three hours and me, Rainbow and the others were going at it. The game ended with a draw. Rainbow and I were sweating like a pack of mules. “Wow, that was the most intense game ever! I never saw anybody who matches Rainbow’s skills!” Gilda said while patting me in the back. “Well, that was just luck. Next time it won't be a draw,” Rainbow said. Forming a smirk on my face, I looked at Rainbow and said, “Well, I'll look forward to that.” “Well guys, it was nice playing, but I’m going home.” Lightning said. “Yeah me too. Pops wants Griff and me to help him in the garage. See ya.” With that Griff, Gilda and Lightning left. “Well, I'll catch you later. I'm going to a club soon with my friend. See ya.” With that, everyone left the park. Well, except Rainbow and me. “Hey let’s go back to my place and grab a drink.” Rainbow said. “Sure.” I really appreciate the drink, so I agreed. Playing soccer made me thirsty. Rainbow and I went back to her place to grab some refreshments. I kinda feel like she’s been staring at me for a while. Wait, that can’t be right. Rainbow never stares at me. Must be my imagination. Rainbow spoke up and broke the silence when we arrive at her place. It's been an hour since she gave me a drink and talked for a while. Later, I tell her I needed to go and get ready for tonight. She said ok and would meet me at the club. With that said, I walk towards my house, but immediately stop when I notice three girls looking up at a tree. I wonder what's wrong. I walk towards the three girls and notice a kite was stuck in the tree. “Jeesh, now how are we going to be Viral Superstars on the Internet if we can't get our kite down.” The girl with the purple hair said. “Sorry gals, I wasn’t looking where I was going,” the little southern cowgirl said. “Well let’s try to figure out how to get it down,” the girl with the pinkish hair said looking at the kite. At the moment I got close to them, they didn’t notice I was behind them. I look up and notice the kite was very stuck in the branch of the tree. “Um, you girls need help?” With that said, they jump in surprise and look at me. “Oh please do mister. Our kite got stuck up there when my friend was blown over by the wind,” the purple one said. I looked up at the tree and without any thoughts; I started climbing the tree to reach the kite. I looked how badly the kite is stuck in the branch, so I’ll need to be careful. I started to unhook the kite in the branch and it wouldn’t budge. I started to pull harder until I finally unhook it but lost my balance and fell off the tree. With that, I felt a little pain in my back and hearing the three girls saying if I’m okay. “Mister, are you ok?” the little cowgirl said. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I got your kite.” I gave them their kite and stood up, sweeping the dirt off of me.” “Mister that was awesome what you did. Name’s Scootaloo and these two are my best friends, Apple Bloom And Sweetie Belle.” Scootaloo said. “It's ok. Name’s Lightning Bolt. I just moved in.” I said to Scootaloo. “Hey mah sis told me about you. You're going to that club tonight?” Apple Bloom said. “Yeah, my sis is going too. Said a friend is going to perform there.” Sweetie Belle said until all three of them had frowns on their faces. “Hey, are you three alright?” I said with a concern look. “Well, see Bolt, I heard that you're very good at singing and performing and I told my sister if we can go. But she said we can’t come cause were too young.” Sweetie Belle said. I was kinda sad for them. They seem that they really wanted to see me perform. Then I got an idea. “Tell you what, maybe some other day I'll perform for three of you.” With that they cheered up and had a big smile on they faces. “REALLY!” All three of them said at the same time. “Sure, it won't hurt anybody. Besides, I like performing.” I said and patted them all in the head. “Thanks, Bolt. Well girls, it’s time to go back to doing viral videos. Thanks again Bolt. See yah later.” With that they all left. I started walking back to my house and saw it a block away. Few minutes had past, and I finally arrived at my house. I unlock the door and said I got back home, but no one was at the house. I found a note stuck in the table. Dear Bolt I was called, for a meeting and I won't be back later on. There's food in the fridge and also don’t be late to come back home when you're at that club. Love Mom. A smile crawl on my face. I walk towards the fridge and open it, revealing a plate of spaghetti. I put it in the microwave and saw what time is it. Well, it's 3:30, only three more hours before I have to start to get ready. Two hours has past and I receive a knock at the door. Surprisingly, I didn’t know who it could be. I got up from my couch and open the door and saw Shining Armor at the front door. “Yo dude!” he said with a friendly voice. I stood in front of him and looked left and right at the road and back at him. I had a poker face because I'm trying to figure out how in the blueberry hill he found my house. “Um, Shining. How did you find my house?” I said to him. “Not important dude. Look, I’m kinda nervous about tonight.” He changes the tone of his voice from friendly to scared. “What do you mean?” I let him inside the house and see if we can talk about it. “You see, tonight’s the date of me and Candace, and I’m kinda nervous. I'm dripping sweet already.” He grab a hold me and shook me so hard I thought I saw my house dancing. I got free of his grip. And what a friend will do to another friend, I grab a hold of his collar and slap him two times for him to calm down. “Better?” I said. “Yeah thanks, but seriously dude I’m nervous.” He looks at me. I smiled at him and walk towards to my jacket and look him with a friendly smile. “Look I got your back, just be yourself,” I said while I lead him out my house and locking the door to get moving. “You really think so?” he said with a worried tone. “Yeah I know. Now let's get moving. I don’t want to be late.” With that Shining and me went to The Everfreeclub. Twenty minutes past, and Shining Armor and I arrive at the club. I waited outside and notice six girls coming this way. I wave at them and they wave back. Pinkie was the first one to speak within the group. “OMGIMSOEXCITEDARENTYOUGIRLS!” Pinkie yelled with a happy tone. The Girls agreed with pinkie and looked at me. I lead them inside and told them to take a seat while I find the manager of this club. While I was looking for the owner of the club, I notice a familiar face at the DJ stand. Surprisingly, it was Vinyl Scratch working as a DJ. I went towards her and tap her in the back. She turns around and puts on a friendly smile. “YO HOT STUFF! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” she said. “I’m here for that job from this club,” I said. “Oh really. Dude I need to tell you, you’re the fifth guy to this day who wants the job. Surprisingly those five who wanted a job couldn’t get it because my boss gave them a task to see if they can rhyme with any word he gives them, and everyone fails.” She explains to me of the others who tried to get a job. With that said I was kinda nervous a little, but I told Vinyl to lead me to her boss and she did. He was taller than me and had gray hair and wore the same sunglasses like Vinyl. I introduce myself to him and he told his name is Neon Lights. Nice name. I explain to him. I kinda need the job and he look at me up and down and had a smirk in his face. “Ok I'm gonna let you on stage with me and Vinyl and we’re going to perform. When your part come up, you rhyme with the word I give you,” he said. I nodded at him. “Good. Now the words are Job, Tonight, Gig, Spring Trap, Purple Man, Fans, Place, and Raise.” I took note of the words he wanted me to rhyme with and I looked back at him. “Alright, you got two minutes before you part comes so be quick.” I nodded. “Good, now let get ready. We’re about to start.” Vinyl, Neon and me went on to the stage and saw over a hundred people in the club screaming at Neon when he appears. I look at my left and saw the girls waving. Somehow my nervous went away. At my right corner, I saw Shining and Candace flirting. Well, those two are pulling it off. My thought was interrupted by Neon’s voice getting attention to the crowd. “ALRIGHT EVERYONE. ARE YOU READY FOR A SHOW!” The crowd cheered and I felt a pat on my back. I turn around and it was Vinyl. “Good luck hot stuff,” she said going to her turntable. “OK, BEFORE WE START WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST, EVERYONE WELCOME BOLT!” I heard the crowd cheer and clapping, but I heard Pinkie’s voice from the crowd. “OK NOW DJPON3 WILL YOU PLEASE.” Neon gave the cue to Vinyl to start playing the song. I really hope I don’t screw it up. (-----------------PLAY SONG----------------------) The song ended and I saw the crowd cheering more loudly and Neon patted me in back and whispered something in my ear. “Good job kid. You start on Saturday. -------------------Chapter 6----------------------- ” With that I was so happy, I got a job and got friends. I wish my dad would be proud of me. Let hope my day gets better. > Chapter 7: Home sweet....Twilight?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: Home Sweet…Twilight?! Written by: Niseoi Edited by:Trader_Jack It was Sunday afternoon and I was tired cause of that performance from last night. But at least I could rest easy now. That’s what I thought when I heard a loud knock in my door. I also remember my mom had to go to an important meeting, so she might not be coming back later tonight. I sigh to myself and got up from bed, wondering who could it be. I guess it might be Shining since he some how knows where I live, but he still didn’t explain how he found my house. I got downstairs, open the front door, and in front of me was Twilight Sparkle at the front of my door. “Twilight how did-” she cuts me off before I finish my sentence. “My brother told me. Also, he thanks you for helping him getting a date with Cadence,” she said. I thought for a while, and then it hit me. Shining Armor is related to Twilight. For few minutes of identifying if they’re really brother and sister, I accidentally said, “Don’t see how they resemble each other.” I heard Twilight giggle and look at me with a warm smile. “Well if you must know we are blood related,” Twilight said. “So are you all alone here?” Twilight asked. “Oh yeah, my mom is out today and wont be back tonight.” With that I saw Twilight grew a huge smile and saw a little excitement in her. “Oh well um…that great…I mean…um…can I come in?” she said. I let her inside the house and offer her a cup of coffee, but she decline. I went to the kitchen and pour me some and saw Twilight looking around the house. For some reason she was amazed of my house. Before she could say something, I cut her off. “No, I’m not rich. My mom is a lawyer and my dad is in the military,” I said, while she blushes of embarrassment like I knew what she was about to say. “So Twilight, what brings you here?” I said grabbing my coffee and sitting next to the table. “Oh yeah. I was wondering if you would like to have a group study for Friday’s exam,” she explained. I didn’t know there was an exam for Friday, so I agree and she smiles. I went upstairs in my room and grab some clean clothes. I came back down with my book of the class where we going to take the exam. I took a seat and started read about the cells about the human body. Twilight was about to read, but she looked at me and said, “Say Lightning, can I ask you a question?” she asks. I look at her. “Sure. Shoot.” “Well it might be a stupid question, but have you ever dated someone before?” Twilight ask with a slight blush. This question got me shocked for a moment. Have I ever dated before? Not that I’ve know of. I look at Twilight and smiled at her. “To be honest, I haven’t dated anyone. I've kind of didn’t pay attention to love, you know. I sometimes get distracted in school, work, and music. I never paid attention to romantic stuff,” I said with a smile that made her blush. “Um…that’s…interesting…um hey…are you busy Friday night?” Twilight hide her blush behind the book. Seeing her like that made me laugh a little. She notice me laughing and look at me with a confuse face “Hey what so funny?” she asked. “I’m sorry. It just, you look cute when you’re embarrassed. And no, I don’t think I am not busy. Why you ask?” I said. “Well…um, you see, would you like to catch a movie this Friday…I mean if you not busy of course.” After seeing her this shy, she would be the level of Fluttershy right now. I smile to her and said, “I would love to catch a movie. Hey, let’s invite Rainbow and the others. They may like to catch a movie this Friday too.” Saying that made Twilight flinch and got up from the sofa and scream, “No…I mean *Cough* they might be busy you know” she said. “I don’t think so. I’ll call them later on and see if they can come,” I said with a warm smile making her blush and sigh before she sat back down. “Huh, why are boys so dense?” Twilight whispered. “What was that Twilight?” I asked, wondering what she said. “Oh nothing, let’s get back to studying,” Twilight said. With that we got back to studying. We read about the cells and the anatomy of something. We studied and took a little break and studied again. If I was correct we studying for four hours and Twilight realize that she needed to go. She picks up her things and said her goodbyes after Twilight left. I cleaned the living room and made something to cook. Then I heard another knock from my door. I went and open it. When I open the door, no one was outside. Then realized there was a letter in the mailbox. I grab the letter and started reading it. When the first day we meet, you made my heart skip a beat. When you sing, the angels above heard your voice. I couldn’t explain how much I love you. You’re the nicest guy ever. I hope you share the same love. Sincerely, Your Secret Admirer A love letter? But that wasn’t important. How in the Sams hill she knew I lived here. Ok note to self. Get a guard dog. But this girl pours her heart in this letter and I'm no good at this. Like I said to Twilight, I never pay attention to this kind of stuff. Who ever she is I hope I can talk to her. -----------------End of Chapter 7----------------------- I closed my door and place the letter on my kitchen table. Maybe I can figure out later how I can resolve this. Maybe the girls can help me with this. I look at the clock and it was eight o’clock. I needed to get ready for tomorrow. So I did my routine; brush my teeth, took a shower, and put my pajamas on. I close my eyes and felt a deep slumber as I keep wondering what will happen tomorrow. > Chapter 8: Danger Ride > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8: Danger Ride Written by: Raikiry Edited by:Trader_Jack It was a splendid day in class and the teacher was giving a lesson about the history of Canterlot. I was in the front row paying attention and Twilight next to me was reading her book on mystical legends. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were behind me. It was nice and calm and for a reason I felt that every girl was looking at me. As the teacher finishes his lesson, he now explains that we need to do an oral report of someone in ancient history. “Now class, I want each one of you to pick someone historical,” the teacher said. Twilight raised her hand. The teacher pointed at her and listened to whom she was going to pick. “I’m going pick George Washington,” she said. “I’m impressed, Twilight,” the teacher said. But right before he was going to pick someone else, I heard a groan behind me. I turn around to who made the sound, and its none other than Rainbow Dash getting bored of course. “Now Bolt whom are you going to pick?” the teacher asks me, getting my attention while I turned back to look at him, asking me whom I was going to be working on. I thought for a moment and thought of a great man who impresses me when I was a child. I gave him a smile and said, “Leonardo da Vinci.” The teacher was impressed that I picked a very successful man. Even Twilight gave me a warm smile. She seems impressed of what I picked, until I heard another groan from Rainbow. “Come on Bolt. Pick someone more interesting and awesome.” Rainbow said. I turned around to her, since she wants me to pick another historical figure for some reason. “But Rainbow, he’s interesting. He was the one who painted the Mona Lisa many years ago” I saw her gave a stern look like she wasn't impressed. I sigh and told her “Ok Rainbow, who do you pick?” “Of course. Someone awesome, adventurous, interesting, and awesome. Did I say awesome already? Her name’s Daring Doo!” she said with pride while hitting her chest. The teacher came in front of her and smiles, saying. “Look Rainbow, Daring Doo is not real. She’s a fictional character from a novel,” the teacher said. I saw Rainbow’s face change immediately. Seems she didn’t like her teacher calling her so called idol that she's not real. “She is real! Well to me anyways.” The teacher sighs and places his hand on her shoulder, then comes in front of my desk. “You know, Bolt is right. You need to pick someone who is fun, who we will remember for all time. It doesn’t have to be anyone famous. Anybody you like Rainbow,” the teacher said. “Wait you said anybody?” Rainbow’s face changed when she heard that she could pick anybody. “So I can pick anyone. Anybody at all?” Wait, why do I feel something is coming. “Of course Rainbow. Anybody at all,” the teacher said. “Anybody at all and it doesn’t matter?” she asks one more time. “YES Miss Dash. Anybody at all,” the teacher answered Rainbow one last time. “I PICK PINKIE!” “I PICK RAINBOW!” I knew this was about to happen knowing those two. I looked at the teacher, who face palms and crouches down to my seat, looking at me. I just smile at him and said, “You walked into that one.” “I did, didn’t I?” the teacher said. With that, the class ended and everyone departed out of the classroom. I was going to my locker until I heard a slam in the principle office and saw Vice Principle Luna walking away angry. I went to the principle office, knocked on the door, and saw Celestia sitting at her desk. She notices me entering her office and gave me a smile. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything, ma'am,” I said. “No, of course not Bolt. I hope you didn’t see anything,” Celestia said. “Well, it's hard to ignore that you sister walked out angry. I know it's not none of my business, but is everything ok?” I asked if she wanted to tell me. “Well, my dear little sister wanted the school to have a gaming area, and I disagreed on that topic cause the school is meant for learning, not for playing around,” she said. “Well, ma’am. I know it’s for learning, but sometimes the students of this school like to relax. And some of those students look up to you and your sister. I even know one girl who looks at you more than the other students.” With that Celestia smiled and was about to say something until I heard someone argue in the hall. I open the door and saw Rainbow argue with Scootaloo. I didn’t even know they knew each other. I apologize to Celestia and went towards to Rainbow and Scootaloo. It seems they didn’t notice me coming towards them. “Come on Rainbow. I want to be brave and adventurous like you. It’s not going to be dangerous,” Scootaloo said. “I'm sorry squirt, but no is no. It’s way to dangerous. You're to young. Maybe when you’re older.” Rainbow said and patted her on the head. She swats her hand and marches down to the exits of the school. Rainbow notice me from behind and gave a smirk. “Is everything okay Rainbow?” I said. She just nod that everything was okay. “Yeah, everything’s fine. It’s just that Scootaloo wants to ride this new roller coaster in the Downtown of Canterlot.” She pointed outside and I notice a huge roller coaster behind the town. “How didn’t I notice that?” I asked, wondering how I didn’t notice that huge ride when I came to school. “Well, I said no to her and it seems that she’s mad at me,” Rainbow said and notice a note in my pocket. “Hey dude what's that in your pocket?” she asks. I forgot about the love letter I got yesterday before Twilight left. “Oh, it’s a love letter.” Rainbow gave me a shocked face and had a hint of jealousy. “Oh, um who’s it from and did you give her an answer? She must like you,” Rainbow said while hiding her blush. “No, I didn’t give her an answer. I just don’t know. I’m not interested in love right now and also don’t even know the girl. I want to let her down easy if I get the chance, whoever this girl is,” I said to Rainbow. It seems Rainbow’s face turn to a sign of relief. I was kind of confused about why she’s asking me though. I asked her why did she ask me a lot of questions about the letter. “Oh um…no reason…um, look its Principle Celestia.” She points at our principle looking worried for some reason. Rainbow and I walked towards her and ask if everything is ok, but by the looks of it, it wasn’t. “Yes I am worried. My sister’s not in the school building and I’m looking everywhere for her. Have you seen her,” Celestia said. “I know where she is!” I turn around before I could answer and saw Pinkie Pie behind us. I sometimes wonder how she does that. “Good, where is she?” Celestia asked. “She’s with Scootaloo at the new roller coaster in the amusement park.” This answer gave Rainbow and Celestia shocked faces. I was confused, but then Rainbow pulled my arm. Me, Rainbow and Celestia were running to the so-called roller coaster. I was wondering why I was coming with them again. We enter the amusement park and ask if they seen a child with purple hair and a woman with midnight blue colored hair. The security guards pointed the way where they saw them and we thought they were already on the ride. We run towards them and Rainbow saw Scootaloo entering the ride. “Scootaloo, as your big sister I am ordering you not to get on this ride. And Vice Principal Luna…have fun up there,” Rainbow said. Luna gave her a thumbs up. “No, I want to be adventurous and brave like you Dash!” Scootaloo said. “Scoots this not the way. Now please get off of the ride,” Rainbow said. “Lulu, what are you doing? You know how you are in roller coasters,” Celestia asks her sister. “I needed to let off some steam out my head, since you didn’t want our students to have a game room in our school,” Luna said, giving Rainbow a huge smile as she turns her head away from Scootaloo towards Celestia. “WE’RE GETTING” I cut her off and smack her in the head and told her to focus. “Please Lulu, get off. I don’t want you to get hurt.” Celestia said. “Fine, if I won't ride it, I want Bolt to be my replacement.” I got shocked of Vice Principal Luna’s answer. I inspected the huge ride. It was huge and scary and I said one simple word to her. “Heck no!” I said to Luna and it was true. I am afraid of heights and roller coasters. “Then let’s turn this puppy up!” With that, the ride started and we saw them take off. Few minutes have past and we witness the horrifying things of the ride. A few seconds later I saw Luna and Scootaloo coming back. But the weird part was Luna was behind of Scootaloo. Rainbow hurried her way to Scootaloo and Celestia did the same. Scootaloo started screaming and Rainbow was telling her it was over. “Piece of cake…” Scootaloo whispers, making Rainbow hard to hear her and went closer to see if she can repeat what she said. “I threw up a piece of cake.” After awhile I saw the two loyal big sisters telling them they were sorry to each other. I was glad I could go home soon. “Hey Rainbow, can you help me? I think I lost my shoe in there,” Scoots said, making Rainbow get in the ride and looking for her shoe. “Don’t just stand there Tia, help her,” Luna said to her big sister. I saw them looking in the coaster and for a moment. I witness an evil grin in the both little sisters’ faces as they were pushing Celestia and Rainbow into the ride and Luna giving the signal to go. I heard their screams before they disappear from my sights. I thought for moment, what to do until they come back. ------------End of Chapter 8----------------- “I’m going to get popcorn.” With that I left the area and went to the nearby food store. To tell you the truth, today was a very interesting and weird day.” > Chapter 9: Someone Ask for me Love Advice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9: Someone ask for me Love Advice Written By: Raikiry Edited By: Trader_Jack It was lunchtime at school and I was enjoying my salad with Octavia. Rainbow was absent today cause of the incident of the roller coaster from yesterday. Principal Celestia was sick cause of the same incident and right now, the one in charge was Vice Principal Luna. Well that was yesterday I like to say. As I was enjoying my meal, I was having a talk with Octavia about my little music life. I told her I grew up with a piano in my hand and from that day on I practice every instrument. As our conversation continues, her electronic dubstep best friend who entered the lunchroom interrupted us. For some reason, she was happy, but very happy. Explanation unknown, but I was getting a feeling we were about to find out. “Everybody, today the Vinyl Scratch, that me,” she said getting Octavia to roll her eyes, “has done something that will shock everyone of you. Will you like to know what is it?” Vinyl asked. “NO!” Everybody scream at her in lunchroom. “Well that was rude!” Vinyl said crossing her arms. “Well if I don’t ask her now she will bother me later on” Octavia said, while I gave her a chuckle and continue eating my salad. “Well, Vinyl what did you do that will shock us?” Octavia said, getting Vinyl attention and coming towards us. “Ah well, glad you ask Octavia. And hello there, hot stuff,” she greeted me. For some reason, she calls me hot stuff than calling me by my name. “Anyways, yesterday I did something. I went to the mirror and said hello to the new me,” she said while she removes a wig that she was wearing. It was true. She got a haircut. Last time I saw her, she had long hair. “Vinyl, wow. I thought you said you didn’t want to cut your hair,” Octavia said. “Well, you see funny story,” Vinyl said taking a chair beside us. “So there I was, getting a haircut while riding a pony.” I wanted to ask why was she a riding a pony while getting a haircut. But ill let it slide. “And I asked myself, I like this style. I'll keep it,” Vinyl said proudly of herself. “It very rare for me to get a haircut if you didn’t know hot stuff.” I got a confused face and I was looking towards Octavia. “Yes, I even ask her if she could get a haircut cause her old hair was dreadful and she didn’t even wanted to comb it,” Octavia told me. “Oh, that's cool. But Vinyl, what will you do when it grows back?” I asked. “Pshh, don’t worry hot stuff. It won't grow back,” she said while pulling a paper out of her pocket. I got my receipt.” Ok, that last part was confusing and Octavia just face palm herself from that last resort. I was about to tell her about that receipt, but a teen boy who taps me getting myself to turn around and look at the guy that is trying to get my attention stopped me. “Um, excuse me. Are you Lighting Bolt?” the young teen asks. I nodded “Great. Um, my name is Flame Star and, you see, I kind of need your help.” Well, this was a first. I look at the guy and he was wearing a leather red Jacket with black jeans and his hair was black with a streak of flames. “Sorry, but what help you need exactly?” I ask. The guy was nervous, getting Octavia and Vinyl confusing face towards the guy. “Well you see, last week my girlfriend and I had a huge fight and she hasn’t talked to me since that day. And I only see her avoiding me now.” Well that’s harsh, a girl who need some space. I am no expert but this is bad. “And you see I want to read her this poem, but I am too afraid to tell this to her.” Flame Star said. I said if he didn’t mind if I read the poem, and he didn’t mind. I grab the paper and read it while Octavia and Vinyl were reading it behind me, receive an “AWW” from them from behind. I had to admit, the poem was good. But I was confused as how I could help. “Ah, that’s the part I was hoping for. I was wondering if you could go to her and tell her that poem I wrote,” he said, giving me multiple thoughts that it was a horrible idea. I mean I don’t want to make this awkward and read this poem to her. I wanted to say there must be a better way. But seeing this guy face, he really like this girl and it feels that he doesn’t want to lose her. I can't say no to him since I just met him. “Um, alright. Let me see what I can do, ok?” I said with a nervous smile on my face. “Oh thank you, thank you. Also, her name is Starshine,” he said while leaving the cafeteria. I saw him leave the cafeteria, and then I read the poem once more, thinking how I am going to do this. “Wow, Bolt that was very nice of you,” Octavia said. “Yeah, hot stuff. So what’s your plan to go and tell her that poem?” Vinyl asks. “I have no idea,” I said while slamming my head on the table and hearing the school bell ring. “Well, I guess I could go and think this through while in class,” I thought to myself. I spend three hours and was lucky that I was in my last period. The teacher didn’t come cause I didn’t know how to do this and I wanted to do this before they both leave. I was pacing back and forth thinking of a plan to do this. Cause to tell you now I am really horrible reading poems. I needed a way to do this but I don’t know how. I took a seat next to Vice Principal Luna’s office without knowing I am next to her office. The door open and coming in out was Vice Principle Luna noticing me strangling to form a plan. “Um, Mister Bolt. Thou may ask why are you in state of panic.” Luna said. i look at her and noticing now that I was next to her office. “Oh hey, Vice Principal. I'm sorry. You see, I said that I would help this guy on his girlfriend. And he gave me a poem to tell her, to say he’s very sorry. “And what that seems to be the problem?” Luna said while I step inside her office. “I can’t read a poem that good. I always mess up at some point, and I don’t want her to get the wrong idea,” I said. Luna was looking at me and was trying to see how can she help. “May I see this poem you speak of?” she said. I nodded and gave her the poem. She read the poem and reveals a smile on her face “Well Bolt. This poem is unique in a way and I like every part that rhymes.” That clicks me. She mentions something that grabs my attention. “Wait what did you say?” I ask the Vice Principal. “I say that the poem is unique?” she said getting a confuse look. “No before that,” I said. “Um, that I like every part of that rhymes?” That was it. If I can't tell her the poem I could- The bell rings the last second and I notice I’m out of time. I stated to seriously panic. I needed to think something and fast. I look at Vice Principal Luna’s table and saw a microphone that she makes her school announcement. “Vice Principal Luna could I have permission to use your school announcement table?” She had a confused look and notice what I was about to do. She smiles and gives me the ok to use it. “Thank you.” I rush towards the table and turned on the mic, getting all the students attention. I took out my phone and started to look for a beat to start the poem. I took a deep breath and look at the poem one last time before I do this. “Excuse me, is this thing on? Well, whatever. I’m here to tell something to a Miss Starshine from her boyfriend, Flame star. Look he went towards me to ask for help and telling you how sorry he is. Also, he wrote a poem for you to explain how he really cares about you. He wrote this poem out his heart and I really hope you like it.” I said to the mic while starting the beat in my phone to start off. I finish the song and heard the whole school applauding. I sigh in relief and step out of the office, seeing the two lovebirds hugging. I got to say, I was lucky I made a plan before it went out of hand. I went towards my locker and notice another love letter from my secret admirer. I open the letter and it said to meet her at the rooftop, that she heard my singing and said it was amazing what I did. If she wanted me to meet her in the roof, I needed to cause I wanted to see who she was and let her down gently about this love thing. I went walking to the stairs that lead me to the rooftop and revealing an open door. --------------End of Chapter 9--------------- I went to the door and saw a female figure waiting for me. I saw her smiling and couldn’t tell how she looked like, but I do know she was smiling. I really hope this will go smoothly. But one question is who is she? > Chapter 10: Webstatic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10: Webtastic Written by: Raikiry Edited by:Trader_Jack There I was, finally going to see whom my secret admirer was. I was thinking in my head, who could it be? I wonder if she will take it ok if I let her down gently. I don’t want to hurt her. I've been in this school for two weeks now and I’m already getting love letters. I wasn’t in my old school. Thoughts were roaming around my head saying, should I give her a chance. Should I tell her, let be friends. Am I scared? I looked at her one more time and she walking towards me, and something seems off. At the distant it looks like a female figure, but now it's forming a male figure and looks oddly familiar. I walk towards the so-called secret admirer and notice that it was Shining Armor with an energy drink. I thought for a moment. The letter never said it was a girl. It could have been any gender and by the looks of it, no one is in the roof except Shining and me. Could this mean he is my secret admirer? I thought he was dating Candace. This can't be right, but I needed to see. I went towards him and he finally notices that I was next to him. He gave me a smile and wave at me. “Oh hey, dude.” Shining said. “Hey, Armor. Um, I need to ask you something,” I said trying to pull out the love letter out my pocket. He looks at the letter, and then looks at me “Um sure. What’s up?” “Are you my secret admirer?” I ask Shining. No words were heard. The roof fell silent. Only the wind could be heard under our ears. He looks at me with his eyes widen and said. “God I hope not.” “I dodge the bullet. It wasn’t him. All thou if Shining was a girl, I didn’t mind trying it,” I said out loud, getting Armor’s attention. “DUDE!” Shining scream. “Whoops did I say out loud?” I said giving him a cheap smile. “Yeah you kinda did,” Shining said. I apologize to Armor and the roof fell silent again. Then he looked at me for a second. It seems he’s going to ask a question. “Was I hot as a girl?” I got caught off guard. I just look at Shining with a face saying this never happen. Shining was about to tell me something but we were interrupted by the door behind us. Revealing a little girl with silver hair and glasses coming towards me. “Um, excuse me. Are you Lightning Bolt?” She asks. “Yes, that’s me. What can I help you, little girl?” I crouch down to her level. “Well, I invited you here to tell you my love. Towards you,” she said, getting the whole roof into silent once again. The roof felt silent. The only thing I could hear was Shining holding his laughter from behind me. Well, the letter didn’t say what her age was. “Um, that’s sweet, miss?” I ask her name. “Silver Spoon. But for you, you can call me Silvery Future Girlfriend,” She said getting all flirty with me. Ok, awkward. Need to do something here. “Well Silver Spoon, I am grateful for the offer but-” I was cut off once again. But this time, I was glad I was cutoff. I really didn’t know how to handle this right now. “BOLT!” The cutie mark crusaders appear on the roof and runs towards me. “Hey, girls. How can I help?” I really hope I can help so I can think of something later. “You see, remember when you said you would think of us.” I nodded, remembering that promise to them. “Well, you see, maybe you can help us in our video. See, me and the girls are trying to do something interesting in the next video but we need you in it. And we kinda need a real genius to handle the camera and technology,” the cutie mark crusader finally said to me. “Well girls, I could help but-” I was cut off by a Silver Spoon. “Well if you want my future husband to help, I’ll gladly lend him to you,” Silver said with pride. Wait, husband?! “Well okay. What do you say, Bolt?” Scootaloo said. “Well I was going to fix something here but I guess I can help.” I turn around to tell Shining to fix this but I saw him giving my number to Silver Spoon and she gave him a twenty-dollar bill. Traitor! “Yay! Alright, now we need a tech expert.” Sweetie belle said. “I think I can help with that.” Sunset appears to us, giving us a wave of hello. “Oh Sunset, since when did you get here?” I ask. “Well I was looking for Shining, and I bump into you guys and heard about your video. I know this guy. He’s great with tech,” she said. “Great, where is he?” I ask. Sunset thought for a moment of where this guy is, and she remembers and said he might be in the laboratory of the school. “Thanks. Let’s go, girls,” I said to the crusaders, and they follow me. The last I heard was Silver saying don’t forget to call and I'm going to wonder how I’m going to fix this. Few minutes past and we were getting close to the laboratory. Well, I think I was still new in this place and I didn’t know where was it. Well until I heard huge explosion getting me and the girls attention. We ran towards the source and notice a classroom with smoke. I got in there and was trying to clear out the smoke revealing a girl with a smile on her face. Her hair was like light blue with a trace of darker blue. I walk towards her. I was about to say something but she beat me to it. “THAT WAS FUN!” she said. “Oh, hello” “Um hello. Um, I’m looking for someone who is an expert in tech. And if nobody else is in here, that must be you. Sunset must have mistaken you for him,” I said trying to give her a handshake. “Oh no, I'm not. You must be looking for my sister’s boyfriend,” she said “Oh um ok. So where is he?” I said looking around the classroom. “Over there, in that big broken wall.” I turn around and notice a huge hole in the wall with an unconscious guy on the floor. “Never again,” He said finally getting his senses back. I look at him getting up and walk past me, hitting the girl on the head. “I said don’t mix them together. Huh, no wonder Aria didn’t want you as a lab partner,” he said while noticing me behind him. “Oh, excuse me. I didn’t notice you,” he said examining me up and down. “Ah yes, you must be the hotshot of the school, and no she taken.” I was confused at the answer. What did he mean taken? “Um hi. My name’s Lightning Bolt. I never notice you in school before.” I said trying to give him a handshake. “Hmm…name’s Gear Works. Gears for short.” He gladly accepts my handshake. “Well, Gears. I’m here to see if you can help me on camera and tech. I’m helping these three girls doing something.” Gears turn his head towards the crusaders and smiles at them. “Hey girls, how are you?” he greatly said. “Hey, Gears. How are you and Aria doing?” Scootaloo said. “Well, she fine,” Gears said and turns towards me, looking at me, waiting for a response. “Well, seeing it’s you girls who need help, I’ll gladly help.” Gears turned around to the girl who it seems is using her phone. “Um, this is Sonata Dusk, Bolt. She my girlfriend’s sister,” he said. “Um, nice to meet you,” I greatly said getting her to laugh. “Aria needed to see this. You flew like a rocket when I mix those chemicals.” Gears turned around before he got his stuff and whisper something in Sonata ear, making her tremble and deleting the video. We left the laboratory, and I was curious as to what he said to Sonata that made her delete the video of him in the room. “Oh, I said I would hide her favorite taco plushy for a whole week,” He said grinning. ------------End of Chapter 10-------------- Well, step one complete. Now, step two is getting a camera and tech stuff. It’s going to be a long day. > Chapter 11:Its Time for Some Crusading > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11: Its time for some crusading. Written by: Raikiry Edited by Trader_Jack The sound of the school bell was heard and everyone departed to go home. Well except for me, Gears and the Crusaders. We all agree to record after school. I was outside in front of the school statue waiting for Gears and the Crusaders. While waiting, I was reading a novel to pass the time. I heard my name being called out and look up from my book and saw Gears with a camera. He came in front of me while he was fixing the camera. “Well I got the camera, now we need the Crusaders and we’re ready to go. Also, did the Crusaders tell you what they want to record for the video?” Gears asked while he didn’t take his eyes off his camera. “Apparently, not a clue. I know that they said they want me to sing, because of the promise I kept for them.” I said. Gears finish fixing his camera and took a seat next to me. He looks at me for a full minute and said. “So I’m guessing you’re not like the others.” I turn my head towards him and was confused at what he said. What did he mean I’m not like the others? “Um, if you don’t mind, what do you mean not like the others?” I asked. “Well, you see is very rare to find popular guys who are very nice and not a complete jerk around others and get over abscess over power thinking there the king of the school,” he said looking in front of the school. “Well, you don’t need to worry. I’m not like the others you speak of. Besides, if you're referring about bullies, then I’m not one of them and you can trust me.” I said while continuing to read my book. “How do I know you're telling the truth and not backstab one of us?” Gears said looking at me. “Cause I was a victim of bullying. And I can tell you I won't ever forget that day when I was bullied,” I said with a dead tone in my voice remembering the pain I suffer at my old school when I was a kid. The area fell into deep silent. Gears was going to ask something, but was interrupted by the Crusaders and a girl beside them. “Crusaders ready to record!” Scootaloo yell. “Yeah” followed by Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. “Wow, you kids have a lot of energy,” the girl said. I close my book and walk towards the Crusaders while Gears was right behind me. “Alright, ready to do this girl?” I said. “You bet. And I got the “to do” list on what we need to do in the video,” Apple Bloom said while pulling out at a large list. “Okay number one, find an Alligator.” Wait, why do we need an Alligator? “Apple Bloom, first we need to find a good place where we can have the recording,” Scootaloo said. “Well, you girls go find a place. Gears and me will catch up,” I said. They all nod and went to find a place. I grab my attention to the girl who was with the Crusaders and introduce myself to her. “Hi, name’s Lightning Bolt; and you are?” “Name’s Aria.” While hearing her name, she must be Gears’ girlfriend. I look at Gears who was working on the camera. “What are you doing here Aria? I thought you were going shopping with Adagio and Sonata?” Gears said without taking his eyes off the camera. “And what, miss my boyfriend fail when he records. Gears, I might be your girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean I can't have a little fun with my man,” she said, getting close to him and pecking his cheek. “Yeah, yeah.” Gears blushes while working on the camera. “Well Aria, if you want, you can come with us,” I said while walking towards where the Crusaders went. Aria nodded and pulled Gears’ arm and followed me where the Crusaders went. Few minutes past and we found the Crusaders. It seems they’re with Twilight. We walk towards them and Twilight notice us coming towards them. “Hey, Twilight what's up?” I ask. “Oh hey Bolt…um nothing much. Scootaloo said you were going to help them record. And what can't be more fun then seeing, um, all this.” Okay, that didn’t make sense. Why is she red? “Well, I can tell what’s not fun. Trying to fix my damn nine-year-old camera. Dammit, why is it not letting me record.” Gears said trying to figure out the problem. Aria looks at his boyfriend and rolled her eyes. She took the camera from him and formatted the device, giving it back to him and making it work. “Oh…the memory was full…*Cough* Thanks Aria,” he said “Don’t mention it,” Aria said. I turn around and walk past to Twilight and see what we need to do first in the video. “Okay. So girls, what's first.” I ask “Well, first we need an alligator!” Apple Bloom yelled. Again with the alligator. What do they plan to do with an alligator? Wait, maybe there playing. Okay, I’ll play along. “Okay, girls when we find an alligator what do you plan to do with it?” “Well, first we get the alligator and then you wrestle it!” Apple Bloom said. “Okay, I'll make sure to find one.” With that I walk towards Gears who had his mouth open. “Wow dude, you got guts,” he said. “Yeah, your braver than I thought.” Aria said. “What are you guys talking about? I was pretending. They’re also pretending, right? No words came out of their mouth and I was getting scared. They can't actually make me wrestle an alligator, right? I look at Twilight. “Twilight, they were pretending right…” Twilight said nothing. She just looked at the sky and said, “Look at that, it’s a blue bird.” I look back at the Crusaders and saw them with big smiles on their faces. “Oh come on. Where are they even going to find an alligator?” I said to Gears. “Well, Fluttershy has a lot of animals. Maybe she has an alligator at her place” Scootaloo said. “Okay, lets try something else for the video, maybe less dangerous.” I ask the Crusaders “Well, I guess we can. Oh, I know how about we make a music video!” Scootaloo said. “Hey that’s not a bad idea.” Twilight said. “Well, I guess so. Um, when do you want to start?” I said giving a warm smile. The Crusaders were overjoyed they can make a music video for their page. I was kinda excited. Also, this was my first time in a music video. Let’s see how it goes. Hours past by and we took the video almost everywhere, making all of us exhausted. Aria needed to go, so we continue without her. We finish the video, and the Crusaders told us to be ready for the video and they will call us when it is ready. They wave goodbye and Gears and me were left alone. I offer Gears to go with me and grab a snack, and he accepted it. Few minutes have past and Gears and me are having our snack in the park. Silence was heard until Gears broke it. “So…if you don’t mind me asking…how did you got bullied,” he asked. “…” I stood silent. I don’t even know if I could answer him now. The memory is too painful to remember. “I mean if you don’t want to, it’s ok,” He said taking a bite of his snack. I sigh and look up to the sky. “Well, it started when I was at my old school. I can tell you now it wasn’t pretty. I was always getting beat up for lunch money and getting push around. I ask if the teacher could help, but they keep telling me the same thing. Ignore them and they will leave you alone.” I explain while Gears has his full attention towards me. “I ignored them, but they kept coming back. Until one day a girl came towards me and ask if I was okay. I told her I was fine. I don’t quite remember her name but she was nice to me over two months…well until that day.” I said closing my eyes feeling my heart hurting. “That day I realize I wanted to reveal my feelings to that girl. I heard her voice in one the classroom. But I saw another guy with her doing things in the room. Things I want to forget. I heard her moaning and wanting more. Then she talks about saying she was only using me and pretending to be my friend.” I said holding back a couple of tears. “That’s past and I didn’t talk with anyone over three months. My parents got worried and decided to home school me until high school, if I was ready. And then I did. I got home school. Went to get help and my parents decided to move here and started high school.” I said looking at the sun going down. “That why I told you a few hours ago, that I will never go backstabbing any of my friends. Cause you, Rainbow, Gilda, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Aria, are my first friends and I will be damn that I will backstab either of you guys.” I said with a warming smile. Gears stood silent. He only stood up and looked at me. “Well, dude. I guess I can feel your pain. But let’s leave that for another time. Right now it's getting late. Who knows maybe another Demigod will attack the school again for magic.” Gears said stretching. “Wait, what?” I got confused on that part. “Oh right you’re still new here. Well, I guess I can start explaining to you, since you don’t know yet.” Hours past and I couldn’t believe what I’m hearing. The girls are some kind of superheroes. Sunset was a Demigod, Aria and her sister tried to control everyone’s minds, and a talking purple dog. Also, there’s a portal in front of our school. This just came out from a comic book. “So that’s that. Any question?” Gears asked. “Um, no apparently, but thanks for the info. If something weird happens, I might know what’s going on.” I chuckle. “Heh. Well that’s cool. Well, it’s getting late. I’m going home. Aria may be cooking now. Well if she didn’t burn my house down. I'll catch you later.” Gears said walking towards his way home until he stood still and turn around. “If anything happens, remember, you’re not alone. Remember that. You got a friend who can help you,” he said waving goodbye and disappearing from my sight. --------------End of Chapter 11----------- “Yeah I know.” I look at the night sky and realize it was that late. I better get home. Maybe something interesting can happen. Who knows, it might. > Chapter 12: She has a Brother?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12: She has a Brother?! Written by: Raikiry It’s been yet another school day, Thursday to be precise. I was walking down to school while whistling a tune of a song I heard in the internet. Until I got to stop when I spotted a familiar face. It was Fluttershy. It seems she was looking for something or someone. I look at my watch and wasn’t going to be late to school. The class was about to start at eight and I got two hours left. I walk towards Fluttershy to see if she is ok. “Hey there Fluttershy. Is everything ok?” I ask. She notices me behind her and gave a weak smile. “Oh its you, Bolt...um sorry, it’s just my mom called and she told me that my brother came to our house and is going to attend Canterlot High. Oh, I shouldn’t had gone to Rarity’s place to sleep over,” she said. “Oh, I didn’t know you had a brother, Fluttershy. What’s his name?” I ask. Fluttershy looked at me and smiled. She was about to explain to me what he looks like and what he’s like. “Well, his name is Rapid Shadow. He has midnight blue skin and flame color hair, and also he always wears that jacket of his. His jacket always displays a lightning bolt that’s a black and yellow color,” Fluttershy explain. “Ah, and what’s he like?” I ask. “Oh um, he is like me,” Fluttershy said. “Wait, what do you mean like you?” I ask with a confused tone. When Fluttershy was about to explain, a guy tapping her in the back interrupted her. Fluttershy turned around and saw her brother. The description Fluttershy gave was right on. “Oh RAPID!” she yelled and hugged her brother. “It’s been so long. I thought you would stay with father in Baltimare. “Yeah, well he told me that I should go with mother cause he will be busy most of the year and he wants me to graduate high school. So he called mom and told her she wants me to be with you at the school you’re in and mother didn’t have a problem with it,” he said. “Oh that’s nice. Oh, I almost forgot. Meet my friend, Lightning Bolt. Bolt, my dear brother Shadow,” Fluttershy said. “Hello. Like she said, name’s Lightning Bolt. It’s nice to meet you.” I extended my arm for a handshake but he just hid behind Fluttershy. “Um…i-its…nice…to…meet you.” he said while hidden behind Flutters. When she said he was like her, she wasn’t joking. “Um, well I hope we can be friends Shadow.” I look at my watch and it was almost seven. We had one hour to go until class. I said to Fluttershy, “Let’s walk to school,” and she gladly nodded her head. So Fluttershy, Shadow, and me are walking to school. We arrived at school when I see Twilight and the others by the statue. I waved and scream at them and they all notice Fluttershy and me coming their way. “Hey, girls. What’s up,” I said. “Hey Bolt. Hey Fluttershy. And, oh, I didn’t know you had someone with you, Fluttershy. Who’s your friend?” Twilight ask, getting everyone attention to Shadow who hid behind her. “Shadow, meet my best friends, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. Everyone meet my brother, Rapid Shadow.” Everyone looked shocked, mostly Rainbow who kick her soccer ball hard and hit a random student in the head. “What! You have a brother? Fluttershy, what haven’t you told us.” Rainbow went in front of her best friend. “Well, you never ask.” One point for Fluttershy, zero for Rainbow. “Um…it’s…nice to meet you all,” Shadow said. The school bell rang and everyone was getting ready to go to class. “Oh dear...um Bolt, can you show my brother around school while I go take my class. I mean if it’s okay with you.” Fluttershy said. “Oh, it's no problem at all. I have the first period free.” I said. Fluttershy gave a smile and everyone departed to go to class, leaving Shadow and me alone. “Um, so let me show you around the school area,” I said leading the way to the building. He nervously nodded his head and followed me. An hour past and I show Shadow everywhere in school and explaining the problems that happen at school. He told me he already knew that Fluttershy explain it to him. “Well, that everything. So what you think Shadow, anything you like at CHS?” I said turning around while noticing him distracted by the cute animals picture in the wall. “Shadow?” “Oh I'm sorry…I was just looking at the poster,” he said looking down, getting a sad expression. “Hey, don’t apologize. That must be the animal shelter that your sister works at. You should help her out.” I said ripping the paper and giving it to him. “Oh, um thank you…you know, you're very nice...” he said. “Well yeah, I get that a lot.” The school bell rang and my first class is music class. “Well my class is about to start. What’s your first class is going to be?” I asked. “Oh um?” He pulled out his Class Schedule “Um, music.” “Oh sweet, you're with me. Come follow me.” I lead the way to the music room. Few minutes have past and we arrived in the music room. I grab the doorknob and open the door, revealing a silver haired little girl jumping on my back. “MY HUSBAND!” Silver Spoon, how could I forget her. “Oh, hey there Silver Spoon.” I said trying not to lose my balance. “Um, what brings you here?” I ask wondering. Why is she really here? “Oh, I’m free and came to see my future husband play a little music.” That got Shadow attention. “Um Bolt…do you play...?” he asks. “Um…yeah…um, almost anything…” I said trying to get Silver Spoon off my back, but she was hugging my back real hard and not letting go. “Oh um…I play also an instrument…” Shadow said looking around the classroom. “Oh really what instrument you play?” I ask. “Um...the drums...” He said looking at the drums with a Lightning Bolt on the middle. “Oh, that’s cool,” I said, getting a crowbar from out of nowhere while trying getting Silver Spoon off my back. Everyone started entering the room and Octavia entered last and notice me with a little trouble. “Oh Bolt, is everything ok?” she said while looking at Silver Spoon on my back. “Oh yeah. Everything’s fine.” I said while I notice Octavia grabbing her cello stick. “Okay. And who might you be, little girl?” Octavia said giving a warm smile to Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon gave Octavia a deadpan look and was looking up and down at Octavia, getting Octavia a confused look. “My name is Silver Spoon and I am Bolt’s wife.” This got Octavia to snap her cello stick, getting me shocked and…wait...is that a dark aura I see on Octavia? “Oh really. Well, pretending is fun at your age, right?” Octavia said. “Who said I was pretending.” Silver Spoon got off me, went in front of me, and kisses me, getting me shocked. “See, he is my loyal husband and we will have thousand of children.” Silver Spoon says what now? Octavia punches the wall, leaving a massive gap in the wall, and the aura was increasing. Since when she had this much strength. Note to self; do not piss Octavia off. Vinyl enters the room, sees the situation, and steps in right away. “Okay, okay…. I don’t know what going on but its time for class…so Tavi…let go take our seats…” Vinyl said with a studded voice. “Oh Vinyl…okay, you’re right. I’ll deal with her later,” she said with a creepy smile, looking at Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon stuck her tongue out while she was behind me. “You know Tavi…did I ever tell you that you’re cute when you’re mad,” Vinyl said trying to lead Octavia to her seat. “Cute? Well Vinyl, prepare yourself later on, I am going to turn gorgeous,” Octavia said walking away without taking her eye on Silver Spoon. “Um, so Shadow…about that…um Shadow?” I saw Shadow hiding behind the drums looking at me. “Eh hehe.” Few minutes have past and the teacher came in and did he usual stuff, doing attendance and making Shadow introduce himself. Forty-five minutes has past and the teacher asks for us to practice our instrument and focus on the topic of racing since the school was having an annual race soon. So they needed a band to motivate the students that are going to race. Winning or losing, it was about having fun. I got up from my seat and grab my guitar, and next to me was Shadow with his new drums. “Hey, Dude!” I turn around and notice a guy who I never met. “Hey, is something wrong?” I ask. “Oh no, nothing wrong. I notice a bass next to you, and if it’s okay, to practice with you guys,” he asks. “Um sure. There’s no trouble at all, right Shadow?” I turn around and look at him. He nodded nervously. “Sweet!” he said grabbing a bass and sitting next to us. I look at them and notice Shadow starting off with his drums and I started playing my guitar, followed by our new friend with his bass, getting everyone in the classroom to stop practicing and noticing us playing. Distractions all around me Problems I must face Trouble some things surround me So I must strive to win the race I must learn, through practice, to be all The good things I can be All I need is turbo To ensure my victory So I'm shifting into turbo gear There's nothing that can stop me For I have no fear The pedal's to the metal and I Know I'll persevere As soon as I shift into turbo gear The fog is getting thicker And I'm running low on gas Need energy to concentrate So I do not crash Life's a dark and winding tunnel At end my goals will be All I need is a turbo charge Of light so I can see So I'm shifting into turbo gear There's nothing that can stop me For I have no fear The pedal's to the metal and I Know I'll persevere Ss soon as I shift into turbo gear (Shadow and Bolt Starts with a Semi Guitar and Drum Solo) I'm shifting into turbo gear Yhere's nothing that can stop me For I have no fear The pedal's to the metal and I know I'll persevere as soon as I shift into turbo gear I'm shifting into turbo gear There's nothing that can stop me If steadily I steer The pedal's to the metal and with A little help from my peers Together we'll shift into turbo Together we'll shift into turbo Together we'll shift into turbo gear We stop playing the song and notice everyone clapping and cheering for us. Mostly half of the girls fainted in the class. I notice the new guy next to us putting away his bass. “Hey, that was nice the way you played,” I said “Heh, why thank you. That was sweet how you played your guitar and sing at the same time. And you, that was incredible how played the drums,” he said looking at Shadow. “Um…thank you…” he said putting away his drum sticks. “Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t catch your name?” I ask. “Oh sorry, name’s Rare Order. It’s nice to meet you,” he said extending his hand for handshake. His skin was blue. He was wearing a black demin jacket, a light gray t-shirt with an emblem of Ying and Yang, dark blue jeans, some gray shoes, and is wearing a blue amulet. His hair was like a white raven color and has yellow eyes. “Oh, nice to meet you. I’m Lightning Bolt, and this is Rapid Shadow,” I said. “It’s nice to meet you both. And by the way, sorry if I’m rude, but what are you wearing?” He said making me look at my red shirt and black jeans. “Um, nothing much. It’s just my clothes.” I said. “Oh god no. Nope, it’s not happening. At lunchtime meet me at my best friend boutique room in the school and don’t be late. But for now, let get going to our next class,” he said with a smile on his face. -------------End of Chapter 12----------------- “Um okay, sure,” I said getting up from my chair and was getting ready for my next class. Well, I guess I am going to enjoy being a model now. Huh, great. “OH HUSBAND THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!” Silver Spoon said while grabbing my leg. Well, French fries. How could I forget Silver Spoon? Well, let see what happens later. > Chapter 13: Another Universe > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 13: Another Universe? Written By: Raikiry Edited By: Trader_Jack Well, class was over and it was lunchtime. I was walking towards the boutique with Shadow and Rare, two friends I just met, and it seems that this misadventure won't be the last of it. I chuckle at my own thought and kept walking until I heard thunder outside of the school. I look out of the window. The sky was pure black and it seems it was going to rain, but real bad. I kept walking and we arrive at the boutique. Rare knocked at the door and a few minutes later, the door opens revealing a familiar fashionista. “Hey, Rarity! I’m sorry if I’m interrupting you. Is it a bad time?” Rare said. “Oh, Rare, of course not handsome. Anything I can help?” Rarity said letting us all in. “Yeah. See my new friend Bolt,” he points at me and I wave at Rarity. She smiles and recognizes me. “Is in trouble. It’s a Code Yellow.” Wait, Code Yellow? What’s that mean, and why do I see Rarity with a shocked face. “Tie him up!” Rarity said. “Wait what?” Before I could do something, I felt Pinkie behind me, tying me down to a chair. “Pinkie, what…where did you came from?” “Oh silly. You see I made a pinkie promise to Rarity that when it’s a Code Yellow, I come help her. Same goes to Rainbow.” Pinkie chuckle and I saw Rainbow Dash waving innocently. “Oh come on. Not you too Rainbow?” I said trying to get myself free. “I am so sorry dude, but she promise me two tickets on the new Daring Doo movie,” she said revealing a weak smile. “Now, now everyone settle down. Now you boys can go. We girls need to work on your friend here.” Rarity said while pulling out a needle. I look back at Rare and Shadow. “You guys. You better not leave me,” I said with a shocked face. “Sorry dude, but when my best friend’s work needs to concentrated and quiet, well, scratch on quiet cause you will probably scream like a girl.” Rare said pulling some popcorn out of nowhere. “Huh…I want to be more than friends though,” Rarity whispers. “Um…I am sorry…I just remember…my sister needs help on…the animal shelter…and I haven’t told her yet…see ya.” With that both of them disappear from my sight. *Gulp* I look back at Rarity and saw her with a devilish smile. “So Rarity, maybe it’s time we go get lunch. I am hungry you know, hehe.” “Oh, you’re a man, tough in up. Let start getting to work.” We spend hours in the boutique. At first, when lunchtime came, I could be free. Nope, guess who cancelled all afternoon classes cause of the storm? Yep, you guess it, Principle Celestia. When she said those words ‘Afternoon classes are canceled’ my body went to pure white like Rarity. I look back at the fashionista and she smiled while holding a needle. The next thing that happens, I thought I was saved. I saw Gears asking something for Rarity, but saw me in a pickle and left me. Why, why is everyone leaving me with this fashionista maniac? Again, hours we spend in the boutique, and after all that, we finished while Pinkie releases me from the chair. Either I’m dead or I was in Narnia. “Well darling, that wasn’t so bad.” Rarity said. “Rainbow, remind me not to come back here ever again,” I said looking back at Rainbow. “Oh noted,” she said. “Well darling, that was fun. You can pick up your new clothes by tomorrow.” Rarity said. “Tomorrow?” Oh I almost forgot. Twilight invited me to the movies. “Um, hey girls, do any of you have plans tomorrow?” I asked. “I don’t think so?” Rarity said putting her equipment away. “Yeah, me either,” Rainbow answered second. “Nope,” Pinkie answered third. “Oh cool, cause I was wondering if you girls like to go to the movies with me?” This answer got Rainbow and Pinkie excited. “Oh, I can go!” Rainbow and Pinkie said at the same time. “Um cool. I can invite Rare if he’s not doing anything.” This answer got Rarity excited more. “OH, I CAN DEFENTLY GO!” This coming from a calm fashionista having a loud voice “*Cough* I mean I can go.” “Great then how about I invite Fluttershy and his brother while you girls invite Sunset and Applejack,” I said while looking out the window, and boy that storm was getting ugly by the minute. “I’ll contact Applejack and Sunset,” Rarity said while pulling out her phone. “Cool. Hey Bolt, want to come to my place and hang?” Rainbow said. “Well sure. Since we don’t have any class left, let's go,” I said grabbing my book bag. “Oh, can I come?” Pinkie said. “Sure Pinkie, the more, the better,” Rainbow said while we started to leave the boutique “See ya Rarity.” With that, Rainbow waved a goodbye and we left the room. Few minutes after, we saw the outside weather was ugly and neither of us brought an umbrella. That reminds me. “Hey girls, is it true what Gears said? About you guys having magic pony powers?” I asked. “Oh yeah. Sorry if we didn’t say anything. We kept it a secret from you cause maybe you might freak out” Rainbow said. “Oh no, I don’t freak out. The only thing I get to freak out is my aunt’s foot and the way she moves it.” This got me a shiver in my back. “Oh, well okay, since you brought up that question.” Lightning that struck at the statue interrupted Rainbow Dash, revealing a blue portal. “Um girls, I know I said about you girls being magical, but you didn’t have to show it off,” I said. “But that wasn’t us,” Pinkie answer while jumping up and down. “Oh, um okay.” I notice Rainbow Dash getting closer to the portal “RAINBOW! What are you doing?” I said getting closer to her without touching the portal while Pinkie was behind me. “Oh come on, chill out. Nothing bad is going to-” She spoke to soon. The portal was pulling her in while she was resisting to go in it. Her foot was already in and I immediately grab her arm and was trying to pull. “Pinkie, pull my leg!” I said while I was also getting pulled by the portal. “Wait don’t you mean pull my figure?” Pinkie laugh. “NOT NOW PINKIE!” Rainbow Dash and me screamed. “Oki Doki Loki.” Pinkie grabbed my leg and was trying to pull us, but the portal was too strong. With one final pull the portal pulled all of us in. Me, Pinkie, and Rainbow was swarming into a magical vortex. By the looks of it, Pinkie was turning green. I scream and was trying to get closer to Pinkie and Rainbow to stay together but it was no use. The lightning struck us; making us separated and making me close my eyes. Few minutes have past and I felt a braise in my face and a light was on my face. I open my eyes gently and notice I was freefalling, and Pinkie and Rainbow were nowhere to be seen. Great, am I about to die here wherever I am. Is that a castle? I kept on freefalling and notice I was getting closer to the ground and I notice a guy was below me. Like a trained professional, I always say the words calmly. “INCOMING!” With that last word, the only word I heard from the guy was “Ouch.” I felt a great impact and was seeing stars flying around my head. I felt a great pain in my body. Yep, why in the world does she have to come close to the portal? Okay, why am I on top of an assassin? I got off from the guy and saw him getting up. Yep, if he dresses like an assassin, I might be at comic con. I look around, seeing there was no one left. I turn around and I saw a blade almost on my face. Hmmm, in a situation like this I have no idea what to do. I look at the guy and I gave him a cheapish smile. I kinda need to say something to the guy. Maybe he doesn’t speak my language. I look up and down towards him. “Um, Edward, Connor, Altair, Ezio or Arno. For me, I am kinda an Ezio Guy you know but then again Connor was kinda badass.” This answer got him to lower his blade, feeling relief that I wasn’t going to get cut to a crisp. “And who are you? Where in Celestia’s name did you come from?” He looks up in the sky. “Oh um. I came from the sky, not even joking.” I smiled. “Uh huh. Well, I believe you.” he said trying to help me up. “Okay thanks. Um, can you tell me where am I?” I look around and I saw the village was abandon. Well not abandon but closed. “Well. You need to sit. You might faint. You’re in the Land of Equestria where living, talking ponies lives, and the ruler of this wonderful land is none other than Celestia.” With that said, I look at him when he said, Celestia...oh boy. “Now I know it’s freaky and you're wondering how you came here.” I stop him there. “Don’t worry I know why I came here. I was stopping one of my friends to not get close to the damn portal and she just came close. How stubborn can she be?” I said while I took a seat next to him. “Stubborn. Why does that sound so familiar?” he thought. “Oh, I am sorry, name’s Lightning Bolt. It’s nice to meet you mister assassin.” I joke around getting him to laugh. “Oh haha I haven’t heard that one before. And I am serious you’re the first but Names Alejandro. But call me Alex,” he said while he extend his arm for a handshake. I gladly grab his hand and shook it. I look around and I was trying to figure out how I can get back to my world. “Um, if you don’t mind me asking, why do you have a needle in your shirt?” I look behind me and saw Rarity’s needle. “Great, she must’ve forgot it when she was measuring me,” I said. “By the way, why is this town so deserted? Wait don’t tell there was a war and everyone die. And you’re the only survivor. Man, I should play Fallout some more so I could prepare,” I said scratching my head. “Everypony” he corrected me. “What?” I look at him with a confuse look. “Everypony. You know, since this is another universe and there are only ponies. Their reference is everypony or somepony,” he said. “Ah. Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. So why is it empty?” I said. “Oh um, everypony is in the Equestria Games,” he said taking a seat next to me. “Ah, why are you not with them anyways?” I asked. “It’s complicated right now.” I look at his face like he wasn’t sure if should come back. “Oh um okay. Well, any- wait!” I look around and I just remember that Pinkie and Rainbow were next to me in the portal. Now I don’t know where they went. “Um you know it was nice chatting with you Alex, but you know I need to find two friends of mine.” I said while running out to see where there are. “Oh um okay?” he said scratching his head. So there I was, trying to find Rainbow and Pinkie, seeing if they aren’t in trouble. I swear if I was correct, if Alex said Princess Celestia. That means there another Pinkie Pie. I don’t want to find out what will happen when you let two pinkies meet. I look around the forest and see if I could find them anywhere. I look to my left and saw a dark forest. Could they be in there? Well, the only way to find out is to go in there. I enter the forest and was screaming for them. I was searching for a while and no luck. Great. Just great. I have no idea where they have gone too. I kick at a rock and saw vines fall on top of me and saw a cave. Inside the cave, I saw torches leading a way. “And where do those lead?” “HEY!” I turn around and saw a familiar face and it was Alex. What is he doing out here? “Um hey, what are you doing here?” I ask. “Looking for you. I saw you going into the Everfree Forest, and dude, that wasn’t a good idea. There’s monster in these forest and,” he stops middle of his sentence when he saw the cave. “Oh the cave. Yeah, I just found it and,” I was interrupted when I heard a voice coming this way. “Hey Pinkie, I heard the voice this way.” Wait is that? “RAINBOW. French fries. What is she doing here? I thought she was in the Friendship games.” I look at him with a confuse look. And he started to hide. “Wait what, and why are you hiding in the bush.” I said. “Wait, BOLT! Is that you?” Rainbow said while revealing her self from the bushes. “Rainbow what in the name of god happen to you,” I said looking at Rainbow Dash, which she in a form of a pony but she looks like a human with fur. “Don’t ask. I got freaked out. But look, I got my wings again. I hope I know how to use these,” Rainbow said flapping her wings. “Where’s Pinkie?” I said looking at her. “Here I am!” Pinkie popped up behind me and hugged me. “It's nice to see you too Pinkie. Now please, I need a little air.” I said. “Oh sorry,” Pinkie releases me so I could catch my breath. Alex popped his head and saw Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in Anthro form. He came out the bushes making him visible to see. “Hey Bolt, who is this guy?” Rainbow said looking up and down at Alex. “And why is he dress like he came out of that one game of Assassins Creed” I saw Alex with his jaw on the ground. Pinkie helps him close the jaw “That better,” Pinkie said jumping back towards me. “So let me get this straight. Your friends that you were looking for were Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash?” Alex said. “Um seems like it,” I said. “Um…Wow…Another…Pinkie...Sure, why not,” he said rubbing his eyes to see if he isn’t dreaming. “By the way. When you heard their voice you started to hide. Why is that,” I ask getting Rainbow and Pinkie looking at them. “Ah great. Well, take a seat. This going to be a long story.” Alex answered. Two hours has past and Alex told us a Story of a Lifetime. Who knew he was from a Human world and that he travel here and is now know as a hero. But the other part that he disappears for six months was another thing. “So are you going back to them?” I ask. “I don’t know. Yet, they might hate me now for leaving me.” “Well if all this is true, I wouldn’t hate you for leaving. I mean my pony self wouldn’t hate you. More importantly, I would have been worried to see if you're ok. If I ever lose someone once and they came back and lose them again, I would have been worried” Rainbow said blushing while looking at me. “Wait, Rainbow do you?” Alex was interrupted by Rainbow grabbing his collar and bringing him closer. “Look I know we don’t know each other but let make this quick. Yes I am and if you say it out loud. I will slap you so hard not even Google Search will find you.” Rainbow let go of Alex collar. I saw him with a face of ‘what just happen’ and then pulled out a note pad and wrote something in it. I look at the cave and it seems that Alex heard something inside. “Are you ok Alex?” I ask. “Oh yeah, um, just heard something in there,” he said. I got a confused face while Pinkie and Rainbow got the same look. Few minutes had past and Alex decided to go in the cave. I lost sight of him inside. I look at Rainbow and Pinkie and we decided to go in also. We enter the cave and saw a weird Signature in the wall. In the wall, I saw a name written “Hero Universe Tournament.” I was confused, what did it mean. But then I saw Alex looking at a huge wall with a Signature in it. “Hey Alex, is everything okay?” I ask. “Oh yeah. Look, this Signature is glowing, can you see it.” I look at the wall and only see pure black. “Um no, I can't see it if would, I can tell you.” I said when I saw Pinkie poking on a skeleton. “Pinkie! Don’t poke that” Alex read the writing on the wall quietly, and some how when he finishes the sentence, we heard a voice “The words are incorrect that you spoken are incorrect. The punishment is death!” With that we saw the skeletons rise up and grabbing their swords. “Ah great. Now I think I’m in the movie The Mummy now,” I said backing away while Pinkie and Rainbow did the same. “Um okay, here’s the plan. I think I got a flashlight in my pocket,” Alex said pulling out a flashlight and throws it at me. “Try and see if you can read that. In the mean time, I’ll hold off the skeletons.” I nodded and started to read the Signatures. “I feel like I am in an Indiana Jones movie now,” I yelled. “Oh come on I thought it was The Mummy!” Alex yelled when he was holding off the skeleton. “Yeah, but come on. Since when did The Mummy solve riddles?” I yelled. “Well there was this one time!” he was interrupted by Rainbow. “Guys this is not a great place to talk about movies!” Rainbow said while she was holding off a few skeletons that escaped from Alex. “Sorry,” we both apologize. “Wait?” I read the Signature one more time and I know what it means. Oh if I only had my- Here you go! Pinkie what are you doing in my thoughts? Oh, I was always in your thoughts. By the way, those skeletons are getting closer. Are we going to do this thing or what? Um right. But don’t come in my thoughts in my narrator mode okay. OKI DOKI LOKI!!! Ok, like I was saying, Pinkie pulled out a Guitar and Drums from out of nowhere. I yelled to Rainbow Dash to come help us. “Um, dude there is no time for music in this situation.” Alex said while he was nudging one the skeleton. “Trust me I know what to do. Rainbow, Pinkie, follow my lead.” I said while starting off the Signature of the wall. Can someone give me the answer To my question Where's my soul? It's like a virus in my body while I'm dreaming When I wake up all that's left of me are bones I'm in a panic! Get out hurry Oh there are mysteries and many miseries Dead or alive, I'm on the brink of self-destruction As I'm roaming from left to right to hell An invitation to come disappear We're dancing one, two, three steps on this dark stage Raise your flag March on fight Break your mask and show some pride While this war just sends a shiver down my crooked spine Wars and swords tears and blood Feel my heart begin to race As I laugh in this bloodbath we made Can someone give me the answer To my question Where's my soul? Where's my heart? Am I losing my own self Don't you hesitate Go this way I don't know And I don't care Tell me are you not entertained now? I'll just keep surviving I just cannot hide it all I am not to fall a victim I'll continue living in this Misery driven world I'll continue living in this Misery driven world The wall opened fully and revealing a bright light and I heard a voice calling for Alex. I turn around and saw the skeletons backing away. “Well, dude I guess the door wants you,” I said backing away from the wall. Alex enters the bright light and making him disappear. “Um, so now what?” Rainbow asks. “I guess we can wait until he comes back out, I guess,” I said while stretching. Rainbow looked at me with a funny face “Really, Indiana Jones?” Rainbow crosses her arms. “Oh come on, you know it’s true.” I said. “Nope, it was more like Daring Doo.” Rainbow said with a smirk on her face. “Since when did Daring Doo have to do with skeletons?” I question. “A LOT in Episode 231 where she was finding a piece of a Medallion from the Ruin of Death and she accidentally woke up living zombies.” “Rainbow, skeletons and zombies aren’t the same.” I said. “Yeah there are,” Rainbow said back. “No” “Yes” “No” “Yes” bright light came back and I saw Alex coming out of it. The girls and me went towards him see if he was fine. “Hey dude, is everything fine?” I asked. “Oh yeah. Totally. I just learn something new that will come in handy one day,” he said with a smile on his face. “Well that was nice, but for now, let get out of here.” Alex agreed and we got out the cave. Few minutes later and we came out of the cave. For a splendid Thursday, this was one hell of an adventure. After I was going to take a seat, a magical white Alicorn appears in front of me, making me lose my balance and making me land on my butt. “Alex I knew it was you when I felt that pendant,” she said. “Oh hey, Celestia. It's been awhile,” he said looking away. “Yes it has, my friend,” she said. “Wow, our principal is an Alicorn. That is so cool.” Pinkie said poking the princess. “Pinkie stop that, she’s royalty here. Don’t you know respect?” I said trying to pull Pinkie away from her. “My it’s a shock seeing my subject in a form that I do not know of. And you young man, who might you be?” This got my attention and I bow to Celestia. “Um, name’s Lightning Bolt your majesty. I am from another universe and I kinda got stuck here.” I said. “Please arise, there no need for that. Any friend of Alex is a friend of mind,” she said getting me to calm down. “Um thank you. But back to the topic, can you get us back to our universe?” I asked. “I can, but it depends. It might or might not. See, the pedant that Alex is wearing can transport him back from here and his world. But seeing that you and your friends are from another universe, I don’t know where you might end up,” Celestia explained. Ok, this might be risky. Getting us to another universe, or going home. I look at Pinkie and Rainbow while they were talking with Alex about something. “Well what do I have to lose? I'll take it.” I said. “Very well,” Celestia said while she looks at RD And Pinkie. “Well Rainbow, Pinkie its time to go. Come on!” I yelled. Rainbow And Pinkie ran towards me and grabs my arms. We won't get separated again. “Ready when you are princess.” “Please call me Celestia. If you ever have a chance to visit, please stop by to our palace.” I nodded and thought about that. I look back at Alex who gave me a salute of farewell. “Can you get your Pinkie out of trouble?” he said. “Well if you can get yours out trouble also.” I smiled. -------------End Of Chapter 13-------------------- “I’ll see if I can.” He gave me a fist bump. I look back to the princess and nodded that we were ready to go. With one touch of her horn, we were glowing and disappearing bit by bit. Great, let’s hope this will lead us home, I hope. > Chapter 14: A Missing Hero Part I > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 14: A Missing Hero, Part 1 Written By: Raikiry So there I was with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, getting into another Universe Vortex that Celestia tried to send us back to our own world. So minutes pass by and it felt an eternity. The girls and I were circling around and around, at some point I saw Pinkie with a bicycle and with a witch hat. “Really...” Rainbow said cocking her eyebrow. “What. It’s a classic, my pretty!” Pinkie said while laughing like a witch. I look at the girls and notice that we aren’t in the void any more or Vortex. I look down and the worse has come. I was free falling…again. “GIRLS!” I screamed. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie look at me and notice that we were free falling. Rainbow was looking down and saw her life flash before her own eyes. But then I notice that Rainbow was still full of fur and had her wings. An idea came to my head. I tried to come close to Pinkie and hold her and then I look at Rainbow. “Okay, Rainbow listen. You still have you wings. Gears told me you know how to fly. If you can use your wings so Pinkie and me can land safely!” I yelled on top of my longs so Rainbow Dash could understand. She notices she had her wings and had a big smirk. She started flapping her wings and look at us. She went full speed for us and grabs us in time. But the time was horrible we were about to make a terrible landing. “Um. Bolt, I’m sorry to say this late but, how do I land?” Rainbow said while we are flying down at full speed and she gives me a cheapish smile. Great. Well, this is going to hurt. I grab both of them and prepared for a full force landing. I hit the branch of a tree and hit the green color grass and felt pain all over my body. I open my eyes and saw Rainbow and Pinkie okay. I sigh and felt a pain on my shoulder because of the landing. I look at the girls one more time and notice they are unconscious. Must have been when we were preparing to land, they fainted. I got up from the ground and felt some pain, but I ignore it. I needed to see if we were back home. I look around the area and notice a castle, meaning we are in the same place, but in a different universe. “OVER HERE I HEARD!” A mysterious little boy’s voice was heard. I panic. I needed to find away to hide. Not just me, but the girls. If I’m correct, this universe’s self would be here and I really don’t want them to meet. I carried Rainbow Dash into a nearby bush and went to Pinkie Pie and carried her to the same area. Again I felt a terrible pain on my shoulder. I kneeled down and was holding the pain. “Over there I see someone. It might be him!” I couldn’t react. I was in so much pain that I was unable to move. “Daniel!” I look at the boy and his smile turns into a disappointed face. Who’s Daniel? “Wait, you’re not Daniel,” the boy said trying to step back away from me. “Sorry, name’s Bolt. There's no Daniel Here.” I said greeting through my teeth. “Pip!” Another voice was heard behind the boy. Pip...huh well, that’s a nice name. Oh, I hope he's not call who I think he is called. The figure appears behind Pip, revealing a purple male dragon looking at Pip. “Pip you should wait for me. Who knows what could have landed here.” He was cut off when he notices me in the ground. “Another human. Pip! Stay away from him. He might be friends with Tom and Chuck,” the purple dragon said. “Who are Tom and Chuck? I know a Tom and Jerry. If that what you mean.” I joke to get in his good side but the pain had another plan. “Oh, a joker huh. Well, you aren’t hurting us. Like Tom and Chuck, you going to the dungeon. I’m warning you. I've been trained by a true hero.” He was cut off when he heard noises in the bush behind me. “Ugh...Bolt, where are you…” Rainbow said while getting up. This got the purple dragon angry. Like someone ate his last cookie. “Rainbow! What are you doing here?” The dragon said with a dead tone voice. Rainbow looks at the dragon up and down and notices me on the ground with pain. “Bolt!” she said coming to my aid. “Are you okay?” Rainbow said checking my wounds. “Yeah. It was just a scratch. Also, I hid you guys cause who knows if you going to bump in your own self here. But scratch that.” I said while looking at the dragon that had Pip behind him. “I don’t care, you’re hurt!” Rainbow said and started looking at Spike. “Hey, you purple thing. Get someone to help us. My friend is really badly injured!” Rainbow said. “Thing! Oh okay, now we are going to name your friend a thing.” The dragon blew fire out of his nostril with pure anger. “What are you talking about? I hardly know you. Now please get help!” Rainbow said. “What do you mean you don’t know me, I been your friend for twenty years and your saying you don’t know me!” The dragon blew a full length of fire of how angry he was right now. “Ugh. I got no time for this. PINKIE!” Rainbow yelled. “Five more minutes Mrs. Cake.” Pinkie snore. “Pinkie!” Rainbow yelled the second time getting her to wake up. “What!” she got up and look at the purple dragon and then notice me on the ground feeling a lot of pain and worse than before. “Ohmygosh! Bolt, are you okay.” Pinkie went by my side and Rainbow and Pinkie helped me up, putting me in a sitting position. “Yeah I’m fine, I just feel a lot of pain right now,” I said trying not to move too much. “Pinkie!” the dragon yelled. “Wow, my name is very famous today,” Pinkie giggle and turn around to the dragon. “Cool, a dragon,” Pinkie said. “Don’t tell me you don't know me either”, the purple dragon said. “Nope sorry. Now please.” Pinkie inhales some air. “GET HELP!” This got the purple dragon startled and backing away a bit. “Forget him Pinkie. Let’s go to the nearest town.” Rainbow said. “No. We’re in another universe. We might bump into your self. I don’t want that. Look, just disguise yourself, then let go to the nearest point.” I look at the dragon. “Look I know what you’re thinking, but these aren’t your friends from this universe and I want to keep this a secret from anyone else so please keep this secret.” I plead. “Wait…Universe…another human…what in the name of Celestia is going on!” the purple dragon yelled. “Look I'll promise I’ll tell you later, but for now, can you get disguises for them,” I said. “I can get them!” Everyone looks at Pip “There are old robes in Daniel’s room. You can disguise themselves with those,” Pip said who started jogging to get the disguises. “Pip what are you doing. This might be a trick!” The dragon yelled making Pip stop. “No, it might not be a Trick.” Pip turn around and look at Spike. “Somehow I can tell he’s telling the truth. And besides, you and Will yelled to the girls a minute ago. They might be still at the tree house.” This got the dragon to think for a moment and then realizes he was right. The dragon looked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie and back at Pip. “Okay, go get the disguises.” The dragon went towards my aid see if I have some serious injuries. Pip ran to get the costume while the dragon was checking me. If this gets more interesting I might have my own adventures. “I’m so sorry,” he said. “Don’t apologize I might react the same way if you see an alien in your universe.” I laugh. “Yeah, but I got used to it cause someone that disappeared is also a human.” I look at the dragon. “Oh right, name’s Spike by the way.” “Bolt. Lightning Bolt” I said, “What do you mean disappeared?” “Well, I know we just met, but you seem a cool guy” Spike said, “Couple of days ago there was an incident that involved two humans kidnapping Pip.” He faces the way that Pip went. “So a friend…well more like a brother to me he, is a hero in this universe. He has magical powers and can defeat any monster that came his way. He has these black angel wings. They’re just amazing.” I look at Spike and seeing his reaction to the description of Daniel he really does admire this human. Wait? Wings, powers, what? “It sounds like it came out of the movie Legion for me.” Rainbow comment while she was at my side. “If I wasn’t injured I would of hit you in the head.” I joke. “Now you can't big guy. Now relax until the squirt comes back.” Rainbow said. I look at Spike and told him to continue. “Well, we heard that Pip was captured and followed to the kidnappers’ hideout. We found them of course, but then one of the humans had a magic device called a gun and said that device can kill anything.” I saw Spike looking depress more and more while telling the story. “I was so scared, I really didn’t know what to do. And then they show Pip.” Spike started to cry. “They shot Pip. In my own eyes, I saw a friend, a little brother, die before my very eyes.” “In that moment, when Daniel saw Pip’s body on the floor, he lost it. He released a demon inside of him and that every pony got shocked and terrified. I thought we also lost Daniel but he came back to his senses and then he had a new power that could revive Pip. We were relieved.” “The two days later. We couldn’t find Daniel. He’s like disappear. We later found out that our friends couldn’t trust him any more cause they think he’s some kind of monster. With that, he left Ponyville and who knows where in Celestia's name he is now.” He looks at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, who is pulling out a tissue and blowing her nose while crying because of the story. “That why I was furious when I saw you, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.” Spike finishes his story. “So what Pip said, you went full outrage on your friends?” I asked. “Oh yeah. Not just me, another human also. We’re friends of Daniel. Well, we are like family. We couldn’t stand what the girls said to him.” Spike clenched his fist. I was about to say something, but I was interrupted when Pip came back with the robes. “Here you are,” Pip said while giving Pinkie and Rainbow the robes. “Okay, while they get their disguises on, we will take you to a place so I can treat you,” Spike said. “Wait, you can treat humans?” I ask looking at Spike while he was helping me up. “Yeah. Well a little since Daniel lives with me. I mostly heal his minor injuries.” Spike smiled. “We’re ready!” Rainbow yelled while I see their disguises. It was perfect. Their faces were cover and hardly anyone can see them. They went to my aid and, later on, we follow Spike to the nearest town. A minute past, and I saw ponies. But not any ponies; humanize ponies. While I was walking slowly while Pinkie and Rainbow were helping me. I heard whispers from everypony I passed by. They’re either saying ‘another human’ or ‘Who is he?’ I just ignored them and kept walking with my friends to get some help. We arrive at a tree house and Spike opening the door revealing a depressed girl who got shock and defensive by my appearance. “Spike! Who is that!” By the look of the colors, she might be Twilight. Heh, if she were here right now, she would freak. “Me and Pip found him near the forest and these two are his…” Spike was trying to think a way to cover Pinkie and Rainbow. “My friends. There are wearing robes cause they have bad burning skin and they are covering it so they won't bother anyone in your universe Twilight.” “How do you know my name?” she asks with a suspicious look. “Ah, crap basket.” I face palm in my thoughts. “Spike is that you!” the sound of the male voice came above the house and revealing another human. “What the…another human!” he said. “Yeah, yeah. Hey, he can explain later. Can we get some help?” Rainbow said trying to cover her voice so they won't recognize it. So there I was, being treated by a human, who introduce me that his name is Will, and a strict dragon that was treating my wound. While I was being treated, I explain how I got here and then reveal to him Pinkie and Rainbow, getting him a bit angry. But then, I explain they are not from this universe. While he realizes it, he faints. Luckily, Twilight needed to grab some groceries and we could keep this secret from her. A minute later, Will gets back to his senses and explained to me how he got in this world. By his story, it wasn’t pretty. I was trying to recover while I saw Will and Spike’s depressed looking out the window. “Is everything okay guys?” I ask. “Oh, sorry Bolt, but we’re worried about Daniel.” Will said. “Oh, by the looks of it, maybe he’s getting his head straight. You know, getting some alone time.” I said. I got no response from them and I notice a picture of Daniel in the room. I thought for a moment and wonder and I thought for a moment and smiled. “Hey, whoever this human is, if I was Daniel and if he is a hero, I know he has a kind heart. Also, I would like to see if me and, you know, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie can rest in a place where we can be without anyone disturbing us.” I said. “Um yeah, there’s an empty house next to the Everfree Forest,” said Will. “Thanks.” I look at Rainbow and Pinkie who had fallen asleep next to me. “We leave at the crack of dawn. You won't know we were here.” I said getting rest. “Okay, don’t worry. Stay as long as you want,” said Will, leaving the Room. -----------------------End Chapter 14---------------------------- “Okay thanks.” I look at the window and the sun was setting. I smiled and look at my two friends who were resting. I really hope we can go home soon. > Chapter 15: A Missing Hero Part II > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 15: A Missing Hero Part II Written By: Raikiry Edited by:Trader_Jack Three days. Three full days and still on this universe. Rainbow, Pinkie, and me were all right. We each took turns to get food from the village so the ponies in Ponyville won’t get suspicious from us. Today, I’m guessing it was Sunday in this universe, but I really hope that on my universe time stopped. Who knows if my mom is worried about my disappearance and also the parents of Pinkie and Rainbow, but there is no time for negative thoughts. Today was my turn to get food in Ponyville and seeing my wounds have healed. I wave goodbye to the girls and went for a walk to Ponyville. The sun was beautiful and the birds were singing. It was a very peaceful day. I look at the sun, and by the looks of it, the time was noon if I was not mistaken. I had a great idea and decided to explore in this universe. Of course, I was walking around while everypony was looking at me funny. They never saw a human walking around. I look to my left and saw apples for sale. If I am correct last week before this universe travel started, Applejack gave me one of her family apples and they were delicious. I really hope they’re the same. I look up in the vendor and got shocked at who it was. And I was right. It was Applejack, and the way she looks was horrible. She seems depress in all sorts of ways. I hope she is okay. “Um…Excuse me?” I said grabbing the attention of Applejack. “Oh…Yeah…um sorry sir. What can I do for you?” Applejack said. Weird, she didn’t get shocked that I was another human. Well is better to leave it that way. “Um yes. I was wondering how much your apples are?” I ask looking at her juicy apples. “Oh um…Three bits. But seeing that you're new in town, it’s on the house,” she said while covering the sadness inside her. “Um excuse me. I know is not my business but are you okay?” I asked. “Oh…heh…yeah I’m fine…don't worry about it,” she said while a tear escapes from her eyes. That’s it. I know this Applejack is not from my universe, but it kind of hurts to see one my friend who is in pony form look so sad. “Um hey…you want to talk about it? I mean I know we just met, but you reminded me of one of my friends back home and it really hurt me to see you like this.” I said giving her a warm smile. “Oh…I’m sorry but…I don’t know…” she said. “Hey, how about this. Wanna grabs something to drink and talk about it, my treat.” I asked, getting her shocked. “I’m sorry mister, but I have a coltfriend already-“ Coltfriend…oh she means boyfriend. “What…no, no, no. I meant to like a friend. Here let me introduce myself first. Name’s Lightning Bolt, it’s nice to meet you.” I said extending my arm for a friendly handshake. “…” She didn’t respond but she extended her arm and greeted herself. “Applejack” “Well is nice to see you, Applejack. Want to get a drink. Again my treat.” I ask one more time. “Um sure…just let me get my brother to stay in charge of the apples…” she said while getting her brother. If Rainbow was here right now, she probably punches me saying, “Dude, what are you doing? Are you mad?” Thinking about it made me giggle. I look at Applejack, who was walking towards me and nodded that she was ready to go. I lead her to the nearest store to get some drinks. Applejack and me was walking and I notice she was still depressed. “So, you want to talk about it?” I ask getting her to look up. “Um…well I guess…see yesterday mah friends and I were at Canterlot,” she started to explain, “and I saw my coltfriend who had disappeared for a few days. At first, I was happy that he was okay, but then he figure out that we were talking from his back. Mah friends and I lost his trust and we feel like we betrayed him.” she said while revealing some tears. “Ah, I see. So what did you do that made him mad at you and your friends?” I asked. “I mean if you don’t mind me asking, I mean.” “Um…well my friends and I were scared of him. Cause he saw his demon and we couldn’t trust him. We were scared of him,” she said without taking her eyes off the ground. Oh, she must be talking about Daniel. I wonder if I can meet this Daniel guy. As I was walking with Applejack, I notice we arrived at the place. I look up to the sign of the store and the name of it was called ‘Sugar Cube Corner’. Huh, weird name. “Well, here we are…” Applejack said. I walk towards the door. I hold the doorknob and went inside. I notice that I saw all five girls in a table sulking and sad, even crying. Damn, they’re very hurt. I look at the vendor who I recognize as Mrs. Cake. “Welcome, Sunny. How can I help you?” she said. “Um yeah can I have a glass of water and a-” I was cut off by Applejack. “Cider for me please,” she said. “Honey, you know it's very early to drink that.” Mrs. Cake said with a worried look. I know I shouldn’t do this but “Um. Get her a glass of soda I’ll pay the tab.” I said looking at my wallet and check if the leftover bits I have that Spike gave me. I Hope is still enough to buy food. “Oh don’t worry, honey. Since your new, it’s on the house,” she said with a warm smile. “Oh, thank you,” I said while looking at Applejack. Man, by the look of her eyes, she hasn’t slept well. “I’m going to my friends. Come, I’ll introduce you to them,” she said while leading the way with her friends. Applejack and me arrived at the table, and they notice us. Only Twilight waved at me. “Girls, let me introduce you to Bolt. Bolt this is Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle,” Applejack said while introducing me to her friends. “So, where you come out from,” Rainbow said first. “Rainbow!” Rarity scolds. “I am sorry my fellow, but we haven’t had a great day,” she said while I saw her mascara ruined. “Um, it's no problem. Um, I heard of your girls’ incident.” I said taking a seat besides them. “Oh, so you heard.” Pinkie answered, but she looks different. Her hair was straight down and not like puffed up like my Pinkie. “I know is not my business, but seeing you girls like this really hurts me,” I said. “Well bub, if you’re trying to pick a mare. Tough news, were taken,” again with Rainbow’s rudeness. “Rainbow Dash! What is the matter with you? He’s just being friendly with us,” Rarity scolds again. “I DON’T CARE. RIGHT NOW I’M VERY HURT BECAUSE OF WHAT JUST HAPPEN YESTERDAY. AND NOW THERE’S A BUCKING NEW HUMAN IN THE VILLAGE THAT THINKS THAT CAN HAVE US IN BED. BUT I’M NOT FUCKING BUYING IT BUB. EITHER GET OUT OF THIS STORE OR I’LL MAKE YOU GET OUT!” Wow this coming from Dash. I saw tears coming out her eyes and felt bad for them. I really didn't want to make this worse. I wish I could have helped. “RAINBOW!” All the girls said in the exact time. “No is fine, don’t worry. I'll grab my drink and go,” I said grabbing my drink and exiting the store. ' Wow. By the look of it, they were really hurt, but damn can Rainbow yell. I was walking to the nearest food market to see if I could pick out an ingredient to make dinner for the girls and me. I look at my side, and beside the market I saw a stage. I look up to the sun and had enough time to check it out. I went towards what was going on and saw a pony doing a magic trick. But why does she look so- “Now, the great and magical Trixie will make my apprentice disappear!” Ah, there it is. I knew it was her when I saw that goofy magic hat. “Boo. Get off the stage. You suck!” a member of the audience screams. “Now please be patience. I can make him dissape-“ she was cut off when a tomato hit her face and was getting shot at by tomatoes making her leave the stage. I almost wanted to laugh, but then I remember the girls in Sugar Cube Corner. I really hate them being that way. I wish I could. And that time an idea pop into my head. I look at the left side of the stage and saw a guitar and a microphone. Maybe I can make them not lose hope. I know deep inside Daniel Hearts can forgive them. But they don’t know it yet. I went towards the stage and took a seat with the guitar. Getting all the ponies in Ponyville’s attention. Ah, great, I got an audience. I need to think fast. I close my eyes and remember what my father always says to me when I was a kid. “Never lose hope.” I smiled and grab the microphone. “Alright! Girls. I know you can hear me inside in Sugar Cube Corner, and I know you girls are still there. But listen. I know you girls are hurt and made a mistake by losing a dear friend and lover. But remember this. No one…I mean no pony makes a lock without a key. That’s why god won't give you problems without a solution. I hope you're hearing this!" I notice ponies grabbing instruments behind me and they smiled at me, giving me a signal to go. I know I need to make this right and make them not lose hope. This world will never be What I expected And if I don't belong Who would have guessed it I will not leave alone Everything that I own To make you feel like it's not too late It's never too late Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late No one will ever see This side reflected And if there's something wrong Who would have guessed it And I have left alone Everything that I own To make you feel like It's not too late It's never too late Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late The world we knew Won't come back The time we've lost Can't get back The life we had Won't be ours again This world will never be What I expected And if I don't belong Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late (It's never too late) It's not too late It's never too late Everypony applauds to the music I made. Then, I notice the girls in front of the stage looking at me. “So you think he will ever forgive us,” Twilight said. “I know he will.” I gave them a warm smile. “Come with us!” Twilight said. “Okay, purple unicorn. Say what now?” I said looking back with a shocked face. “Well, we are very nervous to go again and I would like you to meet Celestia. Maybe she can send you home,” Twilight said revealing a smile. Ah, great. Nice job, Bolt. But on the plus side, I can see if their princess can send the girls and me back. It’s a one-time shot. “Um, sure. But can my two friends come also,” I said. “Sure, I’ll get ready. I just need time to write an apology letter,” she said running towards her tree house. I sigh to myself while getting off the stage while I notice a rainbow mane mare walking towards me. I look at her with a confusing look, wondering what she needed? “Look, I’m sorry. What I said earlier. I was just stressed out about yesterday, but looking at that performance, you were only trying to cheer us up and not losing hope. Hope we can be friends and you can forgive me,” she said looking down. I smile “Don’t worry Dash. No need to apologize. The important thing is you need to work on your apology speech. Same goes for you girls. I know deep inside Daniel Heart will forgive you,” I said getting them smiling and getting Pinkie back her puffy hair. “BOLT!” I hear two familiar voices that made me turn around and revealing my Pinkie and Rainbow disguised. “Bolt, where were you. I thought you were getting food,” Rainbow said. “I was, but change of plans. We might go home.” I said getting the two girls excited and jumping on to me. “ALRIGHT!!! Way to go Bolt,” she said hugging me. “YeahICan’tWaitToTellTwilightAboutOurAdventure!” this got the others girls look at her confuse. “Oops I mean Nightfright. Yeah Nightfright,” she giggles. “Smooth Pinkie. You almost blew it,” I whisper in her ear getting her to smile. “Um, hey listen. I would like to thank you again for giving me and my friends hope to get our friend’s trust again. If you go home, Pinkie would like to throw you a farewell party before you go. I mean, if it's cool for you” Rainbow Dash said. “I look so cool!” said Rainbow, whispering in my ear. “Um, sure. There's no problem at all,” I said smile while we all notice Twilight coming back. “Okay everypony, gather up. Next stop, Canterlot. Oh, I hope I can get this teleporting magic right,” she said while trying to prepare to go. “Wait what do you mean you ho-” It was too late. We already left and was headed to a place called Canterlot. So the magic was a success. We were at Canterlot, but the problem was that I got separated from the group and got teleported somewhere else in the castle. I was unconscious for a second and later got my sight back. But the weird part was I felt I was getting wet. And by the look of it, it looks like I’m in a bathroom of some kind. Oh dear god. If I turn around right now…please tell me there is no naked mare behind me. I turn around slowly revealing my true nightmare. It was Princess Celestia covering herself, shocked looking at me. “Okay, I know this is weird but see…” “GUARDS. WE GOT A INTRUDER INSIDE THE CASTLE.” Celestia yelled. Ah crap basket!” I yelled while I felt Celestia magic blasting me off the room while breaking the entrance of her room, making me fly off and getting someone caught in the blast behind the door. I look at the person and in some sort a way he looks like a human with…a double crap basket. I didn’t have time for apologize. I needed to get out and find my group. I ran as fast has I can, trying to dodge the guards who were in front of me. “Daniel! Are you okay?” KNEW IT! “Yeah, I'm fine. what's going on? I heard you scream and came fast as I could.” Daniel said. If I had a Pinkie Sense, I know just about now Celestia is explaining everything to Daniel. “FIRE STYLE FIREBALL JUTSU!” I look behind me checking whom in god damn made a Jutsu about. Wait is that a giant fireball. I jump as high as I could, dodging the fire death ball while catching my pants on fire. “Dammit, that’s hot!” I scream. “Don’t worry, that wasn't enough fire for you for the thing that you did.” He smiles while revealing a Darker Aura behind him. “Hmm. You should meet my friend. She was like that, but scarier.” I said getting his good side. “You should run now” he smiles. “Already planning it.” I ran so fast I really hope he didn’t catch me. I ran at full speed so I could escape from Daniel. It seems I lost him for now. Well, there goes becoming a friend with… “OW HEY BUB! THAT’S NOT COOL…WAIT ELECTRICITY? REALLY?” I knew that voice. I followed the voice and saw Rainbow Dash still in disguise with Pinkie. “YOU!” Daniel clenches his teeth. “Me!” I said scared out of my mind. “BOLT!” Rainbow notice me behind her. “Pinkie!” she screamed “NOT NOW!” Rainbow and me scream at her. “Wait Pinkie?” he looks at Pinkie who is still disguised “If that’s Pinkie, that means?” he said while I saw pure rage in his eyes. “I told you to leave me alone!” he screams. Okay, maybe I got lucky. We changed the subject. “Um Daniel sir…*Cough* see I can explain-” I was cut off when I saw a blade close to my nose. I felt like a major déjà vu here. “Don’t think am done with you!” he said while turning his attention to Pinkie and Rainbow “And you take those ridiculous disguises off” Pinkie and Rainbow didn’t have any choice than to remove their disguises, getting him more angry knowing he was right about one thing. But I needed to explain to him. “Look pal. I don’t know who you are but if you hurt Bolt, you are going to regret it.” Rainbow clenches her fist. “Wait, what?” Daniel said getting more pure rage in his eyes. “Yeah, if you hit him. I’m not going to make any party for a meanie like you,” Pinkie barks back. ---------------------End of Chapter 15------------------------------- “Wait, you too.” He finally looks at me while I gave him a sheepish smile. “You better explain what you did to my friend if you like to keep your head where it is right now.” “Um, of course, I can explain but can we do it somewhere in private. I really hope you have your popcorn ready cause is going to be a long story” I smiled hoping he will lower his weapon. He did and luckily from this day I hope he believes me for what I’m about to explain to him. > Chapter 16: The Hero and His Dragon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 16: The Hero and his Dragon Written by: Raikiry Edited By:Trader_Jack Well, there I was explaining everything to Daniel before he almost cooks us up with his powers. As I explain to Daniel bit by bit, he started to understand. He looks at Rainbow and Pinkie behind me. Later he looks at me. “So let me get this straight. You're from another universe with a different Rainbow and Pinkie, and you three got sucked into a portal on your school statue and met an assassin hero that look like he came out of a game, and then his Celestia accidentally send you to this world?” he finish the sentence while he looks at us still confused. “Pretty much,” I said with a smile. “That about it” Rainbow said second “Yeppity yep,” Pinkie said third while giving him her big smile. “Well…that very interesting…” he said scratching his head. “Well let me apologize for attacking you three. I didn’t know you were only getting back home. See, in this world, weird monsters are coming out from nowhere and somehow I’m the only one to stop it,” he said. He got up from his chair and bow for apologies, looking to see if we could forgive him. “Please forgive me,” Daniel said. “Don’t sweat it dude. It happens,” I said giving him a friendly smile. “Yeah!” Rainbow yelled. “Yay, a new friend!” Pinkie jumped on him and bear hug him. “Pinkie…Air…Lungs…” Pinkie realizes her hug and releases him. “Oops heh. Sorry,” Pinkie gave him an innocent smile. “Heh, no problem. But that still doesn’t explain how Bolt got into Celestia’s room and-“ I needed to stop him right then and there before I get in trouble. I instantly cover his mouth and make an excuse. “What happened in that room stays in that room,” I whisper in his ears. “I was in her room and saw the sun rise…” Nice one, Bolt. I high five myself in my thoughts. “Um okay…anyways are we going towards the princess and see if she could help,” Rainbow asks. “Oh yeah, yeah. Um, follow me.” He leads us towards the Princess. We walk for a full minute, and I never expected this castle to be this damn huge. I mean seriously, how many rooms can a princess have in this castle. But the weird part was that there was no guard around. Maybe they’re on break on something. We arrive at the scene where the princess blasted me out that door and met Daniel. “Alright, you guys stay here I’m going check if she’s in there.” Daniel said while entering the princess room. As we waited, I notice that Rainbow had a worried look on her face and something was bugging her. “Hey Rainbow, are you alright?” I ask. “Um, no…it’s weird. I notice this princess hasn’t had any guards patrolling or anything and it’s all way too suspicious to me,” Rainbow said crossing her arms. “You are right in one thing, Rainbow, but who knows. They might be on break,” I said. “All the guards? Come on Bolt. Use your head. If all guards are on break, doesn’t that mean that there is an easy way to kill the princess. I’m not buying it. Something’s up.” Rainbow said inspecting her surroundings. But she was right, though. It would be easier to kill the princess if none of the guards are guarding her. Speaking of which, where are Twilight and the girls when we teleported here. I’m getting worried about what’s going on. As I was about to say something, I felt that there was someone or something watching us. I turn around and see if there was someone behind, but no one was. I only saw Pinkie jumping up and down. Daniel finally came out of her room and had the same face as Rainbow that something was up. He walks towards us and looks at us. “She isn’t in her room. The weird part is that she always in her room at this hour.” He crossed his arms and closed his eyes to focus on what’s going on. “Maybe she is in her throne room?” I try, seeing if I could help. “Maybe. Come, follow, stay with me just in case” he said leading the way. So there we were, me, Rainbow and Pinkie, trying to see what in the blueberry hill is going on while following Daniel. We were walking in the hall close to the throne room until Daniel stops us. “Um hey Daniel. What’s wrong?” I ask until I saw a big juggernaut guard in front of us with green flaming eyes. It looks like he is looking at the floor. “…” Daniel inspects the guards and slowing pulling out his sword. Rainbow peaks besides us and saw the guard in front of us. She was confused and said one word that made Daniel and me look at her. “What the buck is with this guy?” Rainbow said. The guard screams, grabbing our attention and bump rushing us, spearing Daniel to another room. Leaving a large gap in the wall, I saw that Daniel was getting hit by multiple walls over and over again until we couldn't see him anymore, getting us shocked on what just happen. “What the heck is going on!” Rainbow screams. “I don’t know. Let’s stay calm. Let’s stay together and let-“ I spoke too soon. I notice that a few mind control guards were slowly walking towards us, making us step back slowly. “You want to fight? Come on. I can take you all out!” Rainbow taunts them. “Rainbow, don’t,” I said pulling her behind me with Pinkie and trying to keep our distance. “What is going on? Are they zombies?” Pinkie said. “Not really. If there were zombies, we would have noticed rotten flesh on them. We quickly turn around and saw a few more hordes of guards behind us. “Great. We’re trap. Now what!” Rainbow screams while we’re getting in a corner. “I don’t know. Just stay close to me.” I said while turning my head and noticing a wall behind us. “What is that sound?” Pinkie said. “Pinkie that the sound of our doom,” Rainbow said. After a second, I also heard a sound. But it wasn’t any sound it sounded like. When we saw a wall break down and taking the half of the guards out. The smoke of the wall clear out revealing the first guard that bump rush us and revealing an almost hurt Daniel giving a smile. We rush towards him and we separated him from the guard and run to the throne room. “That guy was a Dick!” Daniel chuckled while heading towards the throne room. While we enter the room, we immediately close the doors and locked ourselves inside. We turn around and saw two princesses knock down on the floor. Daniel was the first one to notice them on the floor. “LULU, TIA!” Daniel rush towards their aids. I Follow Daniel and check if his princesses were all right. By the look of their injuries, they seem ok. They were just knocked out. “Who could have done this?” I question. We heard a loud growl revealing a humongous dragon in front of us. “Is that a dragon?” Rainbow screams behind us. “HEHE! YOU MUST BE DANIEL THE HERO AND… WHO MIGHT YOU BE?” Of course the dragon can talk. “I’m a guy who is about to back away from this situation,” I said backing away slowly. “PATHETIC HUMANS! IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT AM I? I WOULD GLADLY TELL YOU!” the dragon shouts. “Um, actually we aren’t-” I was interrupted cause the dragon spoke again. “I’M THE ALMIGHTY VOKUN NIL!” he shouted his name in the air. “Okay and you gladly say your name up in the air like a lunatic. Great,” I said looking at Rainbow and Pinkie who were behind me. “OUR KINDS FEEDS ON A LARGE AMOUNT OF DARK ENERGY AND FEED OFF THE DARK MAGIC WITHIN THE HOST WHO HAVE HELD THAT DARKNESS!” The dragon explains about their species. “You see, we really don’t care,” Rainbow shouts. “SILENTS MORTAL! THESE TWO PRINCESSES TRY TO FIGHT ME OFF, BUT FAIL IN THEIR ATTEMPT. WHILE I DEFEATED THEM, I DECIDED TO CONTROL ALL THE PONIES IN THIS CASTLE, INCLUDING YOUR FRIENDS DANIEL.” The dragon smiles while revealing Twilight and the other are being controlled. “You bastard!” Daniel said clenching his fist. “NOW SINCE YOU HAVE NO CHANCE ON HURTING YOUR BELOVED FRIENDS, I HAVE TO START OFF YOU WITH MYSELF…OH WAITED MINUTE.” The dragon disappears from our sights and came behind Daniel and punching him making him fly off and crashing out the castle. “I swear if this was Dragon ball Z shit. It’s cool, but right now it's not.” It was true. We couldn’t see Daniel. He might be dead from this height of the castle. He might be a pancake already. “NOW GIRLS, FINISH THEM OFF.” The dragon commanded the main six to attack us but was interrupted by Daniel who appeared out of nowhere. He pokes Twilight neck making her unconscious. To my surprise, he would know where were their nerve points. “Don’t worry, she’s fine. I just made her go to sleep. Now for the rest of you.” he places his hand together getting ready to do something “Shadow Clone Jutsu!” With that, he made multiple clones of himself, getting the girls and me to open our mouth. Of the amazing power he got, I can't even tell if he has the Sharingan. So half of Daniel clones took care of the mind controlled girls, leaving the dragon. But the dragon wasn’t even worried. He was smiling at Daniel. “Well, I guess my presence for being here won't be bored after all.” The dragon said while making a huge blast getting Daniel caught in it. I saw Daniel crash into the wall getting the girls and me to aid him to see if he was ok. “Yo Daniel, you're okay?” I said trying to help him up. “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine…this dragon means business” He said getting up and looking at the dragon. “If he wants to play like that, let's play like that.” He came close to the dragon, face to face. And what I’m seeing, shit was about to go down “Kasai I need you!” he screams in the air. “As you wish my master!” wait who…is that another dragon! Out of nowhere there was another dragon making me back up and getting the girls to safety cause this was about to go down “Okay Daniel. You take care of him and I’ll just secure everyone out of here before you fight.” I said. I did. Me, Rainbow, and Pinkie was securing everyone while the two was battling it out behind us. The girls and I didn’t saw much, but we took care of everyone and closed the throne room. It started the battle of a hero and a villain. Startled, I only heard crashes and blasting. Anything you can hear in a television was behind that door. I heard a moan from behind and notice that everyone was getting up. Ah, crap I forgot something. “What happened,” Twilight said getting up from the floor. “It felt like someone hit my head with a baseball bat,” Applejack said second while notice Rainbow, Pinkie, and me. All three of us smile innocently, trying to hope if she didn’t notice. “Rainbow, Pinkie?” she said. “What…don’t shout too loud…” Rainbow said getting up from behind Applejack. Well, this won't be pretty. “Wait…WHAT THE HAY!” Applejack said getting up and looking left and right to see if she wasn’t crazy. “Why are there two Rainbows?” “Ohhhhhhhhhhh, there’s another me too!” Pinkie said getting up faster than the others. “Wait, what's going on?” Twilight said while getting suspicious about us. “Well I guess is time to explain,” I said while smiling at them. There I was explaining to them that we were from another universe and accidentally came to this place when we were at school. It seems that the princesses walked up and heard my explanation. After that, I went towards the princess and apologize of what happen. She smiled at me and it was all forgiven but then she whispers into my ear that if that happens again, I would have permanent sunburn. I gulp from that threat and just smiled at her. I turn my head and see Rainbow and Pinkie were talking to themselves. It was a little weird, but at least everyone was getting along. Well, except the fact the princesses were giving a dead eye to the main six cause they still didn’t forget what they have done. I almost forgot that Daniel was still fighting against that dragon. Speak of the devil itself. There was a huge bang that everyone in the room got worried and immediately went inside the throne room. We look inside and it was a mess. There were broken wall and burned floors. It was like World War Five had come to visit. At last, we see Daniel standing proud looking at the massive gap he did, making the princess past out. Daniel turns around and gave everyone a smile. “Hey, I won,” he said walking slowly, getting the main six to run towards him, only to stop and walk past them. Ouch, that cold. He looks at us and smiled. “Hey, can you three get me a bed and water. I want a lot of rest.” Daniel passes out on to our arms, getting the girls and me to look at the princess who was still conscious. ----------------End of Chapter 17-------------------- “Don’t worry, I will get a room for all four of you,” she said and later looked at the main six who was behind her “As for you six, I will talk to you later until this whole mess is fixed,” the Princess of the Night said while leading away to a room for us. I hope we can go home soon. I really hope Daniel is ok. I hope Pinkie can stop poking me while I’m dragging Daniel. Well, I hope tomorrow will be a different day without monsters and what not. > Chapter 17: While at the other Side of Bolt Universe > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 18: While at the Other Side of Bolt Universe Written by: Raikiry Edited by: Trader_Jack Ah yes, the sun is rising, the birds are singing, and I can see my new friend Daniel playing with his little brother in the beach, peace and quiet. Now the question remains is “HOW IN THE BLUEBERRY HILL I GOT INTO THIS DARE!!!!” Oh and of course me, Lightning Bolt, getting caught up with a stupid dare. And yes, you guess it, Rainbow Dash. With who did she dare? Oh, let’s say he is a hero and is laughing so hard that Pip was wondering what was funny. “Okay, and why I have to do this?!” I scream to Rainbow. “So you can prove that you can be braver than Daniel over there.” “Oh well look at that, I’m not. Now get me down from here!!!” I scream even louder. “Oh don’t be a crybaby. You will be fine…I think.” This caught my attention. “Wait, you think?!” “THREETWOONE GO!!!” Rainbow cuts the rope and sends me flying across the beach while I saw a glimpse of Daniel dying of laughter. --------------------Back at Canterlot High-------------------- Yo, it’s Shadow here and I think I'll take care of the narration from here since the Bolt is out of commission…well anyways it was a bright sunny day in Canterlot, and supposedly it was a Saturday. I was helping with my sister out in the pet shop, since there wasn’t nothing left to do. “Howdy Fluttershy! Howdy Shadow!” Applejack said with a smile on her face and entering the shop. “Oh hi, Applejack. What brings you here.” Fluttershy asks. “Oh well, yeah. See, I saw a western place that was about to open up and I was wondering if you two would like to come tonight?” Applejack explained. “Sure, it sounds fun,” I said with a smile on my face. I kinda like to relax for tonight. “Oh I don’t know. Maybe you two should go, I'll tell mother that you will be out tonight, Shadow,” Fluttershy said. “Are you sure sis? I mean it sounds kinda fun and you’re going to miss out?” I ask with a worry tone for my sister. “Its okay, don’t worry. You have fun tonight. In a matter of fact, while you're at it, I have Rarity’s notebook she lend me and I was wondering if you can head to Rarity’s with Applejack.” Fluttershy said giving me the notebook and I walk towards Applejack. “Sure, there’s no problem at all,” I said. “Ok, be careful out there,” she said. While she disappears in the back of the shop “Well Applejack, want to go to Rarity’s and give her the notebook back and see what she’s doing?” I ask. “Sure thing, partner. Let’s get going.” And with that, Applejack and me started walking towards Rarity’s house. While I was walking down the road to Rarity’s house, I notice a hint of shyness in Applejack. Wait shouldn’t I be the shy one? Maybe I should ask her about things. Maybe start a conversation with her. “So Shadow!” She spoke first. “Um yeah?” I said. “Anything new lately?” Applejack said. “Um no, not really. And you?” I ask. “Um no…well my sister, Apple Bloom, is starting a magic show so she can post it on the ah…what's it called? V internet?” Applejack said. “You mean Internet?” I corrected her. Yeah that’s it!” A moment of silent flew across us and it was very awkward right now. Man, where’s Bolt when you need him. -------------------Back at Alternate universe------------------- - “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” “OH MAN SHIT I IMA ABOUT TO PEE MYSELF” Daniel fell onto the floor. “Oh, crap basket. He is so going to kill me,” Rainbow said while Pinkie is looking at Bolt with binoculars “I can't believe he’s still flying,” Pinkie said. --------------------Back at Canterlot-------------------- Applejack and I were still walking towards Rarity’s house and it was still awkward with Applejack. I wonder if I can start a conversation. “Hey Applejack. Anyone in school you have an eye on.” Why in sam hills I said that. “Oh what um………..kinda.” She blushes “Oh really?” Well, I guess it’s away from the awkwardness. “What’s he’s like?” I ask. “Well, he’s nice, little shy, very handsome, and I can't stop the feeling that when I am around him I feel…safe.” Applejack shoots a smile at me. “Well, who ever he is, I hope he can be happy with you and accept your feelings.” I said. “Yeah…I really hope so too.” She said “We’re here,” I said to Applejack, getting her to look at the purple house. At the hint of my eye, I notice someone with Rarity in her home. It was Rare Order sharing a laugh with Rarity. Well, its time to knock the door to let them know we’re here. Three knocks it took for someone to answer the door, it was Rarity’s little sister, Sweetie Bell. She looks up to Applejack and me. “Oh hey Applejack, hey Shadow. What brings you here?” she asks. “Well sugar cube, were here to deliver your sister’s notebook back and to see if she wants to join Shadow and me to a western club that just open up,” Applejack explains. “Wait, like a double date?” Sweetie Bell said making Applejack and me blush like the wine red. “No, no. I mean like friends,” Applejack said while hiding her blush with her hat. “Oh, well my sis is in the living room with her crush.” With that, she ran upstairs and left the front door open letting us go inside. We enter the house and went directly towards the living room while looking at Rare and Rarity share a good laugh. Later they notice us coming in. “Oh Applejack, Shadow. What a splendid surprise. What brings you two here?” she asks. “Oh well,” I handed over the notebook to her. “Fluttershy told us to thank you for letting her borrow your notebook,” I said. “Well, not a problem darling. If she needs anything else, you can count me on anything.” she said. “Also, Shadow and I are going to a western club and was wondering if you like to come check it out,” Applejack asks. “Oh, well I guess we can go, but not like we are now,” Rarity said. “What do you mean?” I ask. “Oh, just be here before the sun goes down and I’ll have an outfit ready for us. I just need Applejack’s help. In the meantime, Shadow can you accompany Rare to a store just a few block away.” Rarity said getting Rare to nod to an agreement and walk outside. I didn’t mind but, what the real question was why an outfit to go to the western club? Well, I guess I'll ask later. I calmly walk outside meeting Rare who was with his cell trying to text someone. “Hey, Dude who you texting?” I ask. “Oh, um just Bolt. He hasn't answer any of my messages. Like, what the freak man, I would have thought he could join us with RD and Pinkie, but no answer.” He said while putting his phone in his pocket. “Speaking of them. I haven't seen them since yesterday. What could they be up to?” I said crossing my arms and wondering. --------------------Alternate Universes-------------------- “So tell me your sorry,” I said while I see a rainbow in the same exact position I was a minute ago. “I’m sorry, so please be a good friend and don’t cut the rope.” She said looking far off of the beach. Did I mention she had her wing tied up? “Oh what, be a great friend and cut the rope and see you fly?” I said with a hint of sarcasm. “Wha-no I didn’t-“ “Ok see you in five minutes!” I said cutting the rope and sending her flying off and hearing her scream off the distant. --------------------Canterlot-------------------- Two hours past and Rare and I were walking back to Rarity’s place to get ready for the club. As we were walking, an odd question came from Rare. “Hey Dude. Can I ask you something?” he said. “Sure, shoot.” I kept walking the path to Rarity’s. “What do you think of me?” Ok, let me stop him right there. I said, “Ok I don’t swing that way, I can be your friend but-” “Wait what. No, I meant what do you think of me, like am I a bad friend or something like that,” he said putting his hand in his pocket. “Oh.” I said while we kept walking “I don’t know, I mean you’re a cool friend. We met last week, but still you’re cool.” “Really thanks…to tell you the truth I never had an another friend except Rarity, so I guess you and Bolt are my two new friends…well guy friends…” he said getting a smile on his face. “Well I just moved here last week, so I guess were on the same page,” I said. “ So if anything is on your mind let me or Bolt know. We all are friends here,” I said patting his back. “Yeah…thanks.” We arrive at Rarity’s and Rare opened the door, revealing Rarity and Applejack in a beautiful western clothing. “Ah, darlings. You're just in time. Come, your outfit is in the back just go get ready. Gilda and Lightning Dust are going to meet us over there.” She said while leading us to the back of her house. We enter the room and closed the door behind us. There was nothing, just pitch black. Rare tried to find the light and a success happened that he found it showing two cowboy outfits. “For a friend, she really likes to take this overboard.” I said looking at Rare who was inspecting the outfit. “Well, no time for arguing. Let's get ready and get a move on,” Rare said while tossing one of the outfits towards me. “Alright, alright.” Well I guess it’s time to try this outfit on. Few minutes have past and Rare and me came out the room well dressed as a cowboy, Rare was wearing a black and white cowboy outfit with a black hat. While I was wearing the same but the colors were in the opposite way. “Well, now you two look handsome. Well, no time to waste, let go to the club.” She said pulling Rare to the arms and going outside while Applejack showed a hint of red in her face inspecting my outfit. “Is everything ok Applejack?” I ask. “What…what, oh sorry, um we should go to the club…heh.” She bumps herself in the wall. “Oh, are you okay?” I ask worriedly. “Yeah, yeah…um let’s go.” She left the room and I swear I could hear a little whisper from her ‘nice going AJ’ or it must be my imagination. Well Rarity, Rare, Applejack, and me took a full twenty minute walk to the club, and when we arrive it was full, like literally. I really didn’t know if we could get in. We started walking to the back of the line when later on we noticed Gilda and Lightning Dust coming to the area. “Hey there Dweebs. Kept you waiting.” It appeared she likes to address us as that, but it didn’t bother us. “So why you guys in the line?” she asks. “We’re suppose to enter the club aren't we,” Applejack said. “Wait you thought,” she laughs, getting all of us confuse on what's going on. “No…no sorry its just that they won't let us in, so I heard a rumor from the back of the club teenager made their own western club just for us teens.” Gilda whispers. “Yeah, so get your party butts out that line and let go get some real partying!” Lightning Bolt said while leading us to the secret entrance to the teen club. We follow Gilda and Lightning and found us in a dead end but later notice Gilda knocking in the wall revealing a slide door opening and showing a bodyguard. He had a green apple as a tag and he was too big. If I’m not mistaken isn't this- “Big Mac what are you doing here!” Applejack screamed. “Oh hey AJ. I needed the bits, so they hired me to be a bodyguard in this here club. You guys are coming in or not?” he said “EEEYUP!” Everyone said except AJ and me. “Well go on in.” he said letting us all inside while closing the door behind us. The room was pumping and everyone was dancing western style. It showed multiple boys and girls from our school. And I think I see Vinyl handling the bar. So we all went our separate ways and Applejack and me went to say hi to Vinyl. “Hey Vinyl,” we said. “Oh hey there. How are you guys,” Vinyl said greeting us, but then was looking at the full room like she was looking for someone “Hey *Cough* Is Bolt here,” she said. “Sorry to disappoint cowgirl, but Mr. Popular isn't here. Neither is Rainbow or Pinkie. I tried to contact them but no answer.” Applejack said. “Drats…well, I guess maybe another time…hey AJ, I hope I’m not bothering you, but can you get this drinks to those fellows over there in that table,” Vinyl said giving her a couple of sodas to her. “Sure there’s no problem” She grab the drink and went towards them. “Hey, Shadow is it?” Vinyl asks. “Um yes…” I said. “Hey, that was some sick drum beat you did there back at School.” Vinyl complicated my skill at music class with Bolt. “Oh thanks. It was nothing. I use to practice when I was little,” I said. “Oh cool…hey when you can tell Bolt…that the school is going to make another battle of the bands,” she said. “Wait, didn’t my sister said the last battle of the bands was all out war?" I ask with a derp face. “Yeah, but this time they won't be freaky magical monster trying to control us.” Vinyl said. While reaching out a flier that supposes to send out this Monday and gave it to me, but I guess having this type of friend has a shortcut. “You need to have six members of your group to enter in the contest.” I read out loud. “But there's only three of us.” I look at Vinyl. “You can figure something out.” She said giving a wink and cleaning her bar. A tap was felt behind me, making me turn around and noticing it was Rare with a serious look “ Hey dude, what's up.” I ask. He points me to the direction that Applejack went to give the customers order and I see three holding and looking at her and feeling up at her. “Come here honey I can show you a good rodeo.” One of them said. Well, my instinct of being good friends come in and went walking towards there. I guess I wasn’t scared. I have Rare watching my back. I walk towards the men at the bar who didn’t want to let go of Applejack and notice me walking towards them. I didn’t think, I just act. I grab the guy’s shirt and came face to face with a mind. A moment of silence was in the room and I look at Applejack. “Are you okay Applejack?” I ask. “Yeah. Thanks,” she said. I look at the guy who had a smirk on his face and I had only one thing to say to this guy “Leave the lady alone.” I said. “Did you just try to do a cowboy accent?” Rare said from behind me. “Not helping Rare,” I scream. “Sorry.” I look at the guy who was about to laugh but then smiled and came closer to my face “Make me cowboy.” Okay, I was about one hit away to punch this guy until Vinyl whistle at us getting out attention. “Hey, no fighting boys if you want to settle this you know what to do.” No, I don’t know what to do. “HIT IT!” Music start playing and then I understand what she meant and I let go of the guy while we prepare to start the battle. “Oh, I can’t stand this!” Applejack said getting in the dance. Getting everyone whistle at her beauty. And bit-by-bit she winks at me and looks at the thug who was in front of me, and she rips her long skirt. “Wow, good job Rarity,” Rare said. “Well, it a women job to come prepare.” She said while blowing an Invisible gun in her hand. … …… ……… ………… …………… He fled the battle getting the victory for me. Applejack was smiling, and to tell you the truth, this was the most fun we had when I came to this town. “You got some pretty sick dance moves Sugar Cube,” Applejack said. “Well. My dad shows it to me.” I smile. “um....Come on. Let’s get back to the others.” “um....yeah that a Great idea.” With that, we went back to the others and continue having fun at the club. Wherever Bolt is, he just miss out one hell of a party. ------------Alternative Universe--------------------- I swing my head and felt a cold chill in my back like someone was speaking of me. “Is something wrong dude?” Daniel asks while eating an energy bar. “Um, I think I just thought someone was behind me…” I said while continue seeing Rainbow and Pinkie having fun at the beach. “Hey Bolt, can I ask something.” He said while looking down at the sand. “Sure,” I said. “Well I was thinking about my life here and I don’t know…” He looks at me. I look at him while silence filled the area around us. “Can I go to your universe and live there.” He asks getting me shocked on leaving this place. “Oh wow.” Great another problem has come to my doorstep. ----------------------End of Chapter 17-------------------------
