Two good friends, a scavenger and a retired clone. They have been in many fights together, however this one was there last. Or so they though. After they die they appear in front of a colourful high school. This is a side story to give you guys something to read while I work on my main story.

-Canterlot High, Friday after school-

Sunset Shimmer was sitting in front of the portal to Equestria, thinking about the choices she had made back there. It had been only two weeks since she was defeated by Twilight and her friends, and she has been getting along with her new friends. However the same can not be said about everyone else. They are still a bit nervous and sometimes a bit scared. So she was sitting there, wishing that the portal would give her a new friend, a time machine, anything to make her have more friends, but the portal did nothing, just the same old statue as before.

"Stupid portal! Why can't you just, do something!" She shouted. However, the portal continued to do nothing. She started to tear up, and went back to her house, the same as always. However, after she left, the portal started to act up.

-A long time ago, in a dimension far far away-

"Come on, they're only droids, you've fought them before multiple times!" Jack shouted to his Clone friend.

"We haven't had droids come after us on foot for a few months!" The retired clone nick named scrapper called.

"So what? You're called Scrapper for a reason!" Jack shouted as he spun around rapidly firing his two LL-30 Blaster Pistols at the oncoming droids.

"Well then, in that case, guess what I found." Scrapper said as he put on his helmet.

"What?" Jack asked.

"Two DC-17's!" Scrapper yelled as he two started to rain blaster bolts onto the droids.

"Hey, do you think we still have that Z-6 Rotary Blaster on the ship?" Jack asked.

"I thought we sold that on Tatooine." Scrapper said over the sound of blaster fire.

"Do you think it would be worth it to try and get it?" Jack asked.

"Who needs it? We have these puppies!" Scrapper said.

"You do have a point." He said as he continued to obliterate the droids. However, during the battle, they heard a lightsaber ignite, and they saw a red glow behind the droids. "Well, looks like this should be more interesting then the last times." Jack said as the destroyed the rest of the droids to reveal a sith. "What, are you sad that we destroyed all of your droids?" Jack taunted.

"Jack, that might not be the best idea, he could be very powerful." Scrapper warned.

"Let's hear his name and find out shall we?" Jack asked.

"I am Malignus, the apprentice of Lord Nihilus."

"Oh an apprentice, I'm so scared." Jack taunted as he pulled out his vibroblade.

"I will make you regret your mockery!" Malignus shouted as he rushed towards Jack, and swung his lightsaber for an attack, only to be quickly blocked by Jack.

"I'd like to see that happen." Jack taunted as they engaged in melee combat. However, after a while, Malignus started to become exhausted, and Jack started to get a bit more cocky while fighting, reverting to only using one hand, and taunting more often. However, while Malignus is exhausted, he is still a sith, and gains power from anger, and right now, he is as angry as he can be. "Aren't sith supposed to be the most power-" Jack started to taunt, but was cut off, quite literally, as his left arm was cut off. He then fell to his knees in pain. He had been shot before, so he was used to the pain of a blaster blot, however, he had never been in an encounter with a sith or a jedi. This was a new feeling of pain, however instead of crying or shouting in pain. He decided to make a joke. "You cut off the punchline." He said.

"You don't know how to shut up do you." Malignus said as he readied his lightsaber.

"I do, I just like to make people last living moments funny." Jack replied.

"What do you me-" Malignus started, but he was cut off by a blaster bolt to the back. He first fell onto his knees, facing Jack, then he fell over dead.

"Thanks Scrapper." Jack said, holding the place where his shoulder should have been. "Let's head to the ship, I think I need a new arm." He said before he fainted.

"Always with the jokes." Scrapper said before he picked up his friends unconscious body and carried him to their Dynamic-class freighter. Once inside he laid Jack onto the table and got their medical droid, which they got from a destroyed republic cruiser. They found him a bit damaged, but were able to reactivate him and fix him up. It was a 2-1B surgical droid, who of which they named fixer. Scrapper had gotten the idea from one of the Commandos in the Republic. "Hey Fixer, we need you now!" Scrapper said. After a second, Fixer came into the room to help.

"Yes Scrapper? Oh, I see, luckily I know exactly what to do. you go pilot the ship, I will tend to Jack." He said.

"Can do. Also, did you see R2-E6 anywhere?" Scrapper asked.

"He should be in the cockpit." Fixer said.

"Thanks." Scrapper thanked as he went into the cockpit, on the way there he took off his helmet and dropped it on the floor. When he got to the cockpit he saw their trusty R2 unit. It was the usual white with it's coloured parts being red. "Hello E6." Scrapper said as he came in. Getting happy whistles and beeps in return. "I can tell your happy to see me." Scrapper said. "Let's head off to tatooine to drop off today's earnings." Then they took off to their destination

-Canterlot High, Saturday-

Sunset Shimmer and the other girls were going someplace to eat, and the route they were taking passed right by the statue, which meant that Sunset could check on it before they got to the restaurant, and again when they come back. So once they got to the statue Sunset decided to go to it.

"Hey, I'll be right back ok?" She asked.

"Sure, just try to make it quick darling." Rarity said.

"I will." Sunset said as she rushed to the portal. However, when she got there, she was not surprised to find out that nothing had changed. "Of course, nothing ever happens." She whined before going back to meet up with the girls. However, after she left, the portal started to act up once more. But quickly stopped.

-A long time ago, in a dimension far far away-

"So, how has that arm been treating you?" Scrapper asked.

"You have asked me that for two whole months, it's getting annoying. But it's great." Jack replied.

"Ok I'll stop. I'll ask something new, why are we here?" Scrapper asked.

"I have heard of a place near here were you can find Mandalorian armour, like the armour Jango Fett had, but in different colours. They say it was an old abandoned Mandalorian base." Jack explained.

"It sounds like a trap." Scrapper said.

"Well weather it is or not, I want that armour. It looks awesome, and we could get a fortune!" Jack said excitedly

"Well if you want it, I'll help you get it." Scrapped said.

"It should be just a few miles ahead." Jack said.

"We need to get some speeders, preferably weaponized ones." Scrapper said.

"With the credits were gonna get from this, we will be able to get twenty if we wanted to." Jack said.

"Well then, let's get to it." Scrapper said. After a few minutes, they arrived at the destination, and it was a bunch of withered tents around a withered Mandalorian flag.

"Perfect, now we just need to find the barracks." Jack said as we ran to one of the tents.

"I'll take this side." Scrapper said as he walked to the first tent to his right. After about an hour Jack finally came across the barracks tent.

"I found it! It's so beautiful!" He shouted as he looked at all the armour. "I can't find any weapons though. But hey, I don't need any anyway. I have my lucky LL-30's." He said, and around the same time as he said that Scrapper came into the tent as well. "After I get my armour we can take the rest back to the ship and sell it." Jack said.

"Well, have fun, I already have the armour I like." Scrapper said. After a while of looking, Jack found armour that he loved. It looked like Jango fetts armour but was black with a grey under suit, and it didn't have the jet pack or the antenna on the side of the helmet. As soon as he saw it he grabbed it and ran as fast as he could to another tent. Once inside he put on the new armor, but left the back helmet with a red visor off, he preferred to carry it. That and he had moderately long hair, so it would have gotten in the way if he had put it on. Once he had everything on, he went back into the barracks tent to help Scrapper with the rest if the armour.

"How do I look?" Jack asked.

"You look good, it is also skinny, like the death watch's, so it suits you even better.

"Thanks." Jack said. Then they got the armour ready for transport, and went back to the ship.

"So, where should we drop this stuff off?" Scrapper asked, still in his clone trooper armour.

"What about Coruscant? The underground area has a lot of bounty hunters and criminals, and you and I both know how much those scum are willing to pay for top of the line armour and weapons." Jack said.

"You have a point there." Scrapper said.

"Then off to Coruscant we go!" Jack said as he started up the ship.

-Canterlot High, Saturday, after they had lunch-

Everyone was full from going to the restaurant, and from three large cupcakes, brought by Pinkie Pie, and wanted to head over to Pinkie's to have the sleepover they were planning, however, Sunset wanted to check up on the portal.

"Hey, I'm going to be right back." Sunset said before she ran off to the portal.

"I'm surprised she can run after eating this much." Rainbow Dash said.

"Why's that?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Because unlike you the rest of us can't eat fifty cupcakes without even getting full." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh." Was all that Pinkie Pie could say. Once Sunset got to the portal, she wasn't surprised to see that the portal had done nothing.

"As usual." She said before starting to walk off, however, as she was heading back, she thought she saw the portal doing something out of the corner of her eye, but when she looked again, she saw nothing. "My mind must be messing with me." She said before joining the other girls.

-Canterlot High, Wednesday at Lunch-

"I was wondering we could have a sleepover at my house again this weekend." Pinkie Pie asked.

"We just did last weekend." Apple Jack said.

"You're just scared that you'll lose at Road Fighter again." Rainbow Dash said.

"Are you askin' for a rematch?" Apple Jack asked.

"Maybe I am." Rainbow Dash stated.

"I'll be there Pinkie." Apple Jack said.

"Yay! So that's one, what about the rest of you?"

"I'll go." Rainbow Dash said smiling.

"I could do makeovers again!" Rarity said.

"I guess I could go." Fluttershy whispered happily.

"I'll go, I mean, two sleepovers hasn't hurt anyone." Sunset said jokingly.

"Yay! I already have everything prepared!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

"Why am I not surprised." Sunset said.

-A long time ago in a dimension far far away-

"You know, after we killed that sith a year ago we haven't been getting many droids after us, and the only times that have attacked us is when we landed on the wrong planet." Scrapper said.

"It does seem a bit odd. But I wouldn't worry to much. They're probably just scared." Jack said as he put his feet onto the console, careful not to hit anything.

"I have kind of missed those Clankers." Scrapper said.

"I have to agree with you there. Heck, I think even Fixer is a bit upset about not having to fix us very much." Jack said.

"Now that I think about it, didn't that sith we killed have a master or something?" Scrapper asked.

"I think he mentioned something about that. His name was Lord Nihilus if I remember correctly." Jack said.

"I think I have heard about him before, he is supposedly very powerful, and has a whole army of droids." Scrapper said. "But I'm sure they're nothing compared to us."

"You've got that right." Jack said as they fist bumped. However, a small bit later, the warning lights on the ship went off, and the radar showed that many separatist ships were coming out of hyperspace to their exact location. "We've got company! I'll man the guns, you try to have us avoid gunfire."

"Rodger rodger!" Scrapper said jokingly.

"Hey I'm supposed to be the joker!" Jack shouted as he ran to the gunner position.

-Canterlot High, Thursday science class for Sunset-

"Today class we will be looking at the statue!" Professor Bill said.

"But that thing is magic, not sciency." One student said.

"While that is true, there is at least a bit of science behind everything! So follow me." Bill said as he lead the class outside. "Now everyone take a seat." He said, and the class did as they were instructed. He then attempted to figure out the science behind the portal. However, Sunset was not entirely paying attention, for she could have sworn she heard something coming from the portal, however it was to faded and distant for her to make out any of it. "Sunset, do you have any idea what that could mean?" Bill asked, obviously noting that she wasn't paying attention.

"Um, no." She said.

"Well then I suggest you pay attention." Bill said. Sunset then blushed at the embarrassment of being called out.

-A long time ago in a dimension far far away-

"They're here!" Scrapper shouted, then Jack started to rapidly fire at where the ships would soon be, then almost a second later two Providence-class Destroyers hopped out of hyperspace, one being exactly were Jack was firing, and it took a bit of damage before they both started to return fire, however almost all of the bolts missed, the others were deflected from the shield, at the same time, many droid fighters were quickly fleeing out of the sides of the two ships, however most of them that got into range were shot down. The others didn't get much closer though. While in the battle, Jack and Scrapper started to take more damage, because of the multiple targets they had to avoid, and coming from multiple directions. After a while though, one of the destroyers had taken enough damage to start to combust. However the other one had taken little to no damage, and continued to disperse ships and rain blaster fire. Eventually, the shield went offline for Jack and Scrappers ship, and started to take severe damage.

"We're taking too much damage! I'm going to have to land on that planet!" Scrapper shouted.

"Then hurry up and do it!" Jack shouted.

"I'm going in, but don't expect a soft landing!" Scrapper shouted as he prepared for the impact of the crash.

"Don't worry, I'm used to hard landings when you fly!" Jack shouted back.

"Sometimes I regret saving you!" Scrapper said. "Were about to hit the ground!" He shouted, then they crashed on the small planet. While they were both a little knocked around, they would manage.

"You alright down there?" Jack asked.

"Depends, what's your definition of alright?" Scrapper asked.

"Are you bleeding or badly damaged." Jack asked.

"Nope." Scrapper said.

"Good, because I think a droid drop off ship just landed." Jack said as he climbed down the ladder.

"Then let's get our stuff." Scrapper said.

"Agreed." Jack said as he put on his helmet. and pulled out his two blaster pistols.

"I've noticed your wearing the helmet." Scrapper said.

"This might be our last stand, might as well right?" Jack said as he pressed the button to open the hatch.

"As brothers we fight, and as brothers we die." Scrapper said, then they both ran out to fight the multiple waves of droids attacking them. They obliterated the majority of them, however towards the end, there were more advanced droids, such as B2 Battle droids, commando droids, and even droidekas. While they had some difficulty with the B2's and the Commandos, they were able to defeat them. That then left them with just the droidekas, however they had not brought any thermal detonators with them.

"This is were we die." Jack said as they both came out of their hiding spaces to fire at the shielded droids. However, their bolts did nothing, and after a bit of firing Scrapper was shot in the arm.

"I'm hit!" He shouted while holding his arm.

"Keep on firing!" Jack ordered, then he was shot in the leg, so he got down on one knee and continued to fire, then scrapper was hit on the stomach, but he continued fighting, then Jack was hit in the chest, knocking him back, then scrapper was shot in the head, instantly killing him. "Scrapper, no!" Jack shouted as he watched his friend fall dead. He continued to fire back, until he too, was shot in the head.

-Canterlot High, Thursday during lunch-

Sunset and her friends were sitting at the table eating and talking about how their day had gone so far. But Pinkie Pie mostly talking about plans for the sleepover. However, in front of the school at the statue, the portal was acting extremely odd, there were sparks coming from it and it was highly reflective, then a guy popped out of it wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans, he had a square white backpack and black military like haircut. He was the retired clone trooper Scrapper. He grabbed his face and then proceeded to pat his entire body down.

"How am I alive, I was shot dead!" He said. Then after he said that, another guy popped out, he had moderately long brown hair and was wearing a black hoodie, black gloves, brown jeans, and a square white backpack as well. He was the scavenger Jack.

"Ugh, wait. what is happening, I am dead! I should be dead!" he said as he got up. When he did, he saw Scrapper. He slowly reached his hand up and touched Scrappers face. Then they both started to scream, which alerted the school of their presence.

"You can't be." Jack said, then he slapped Scrapper across the face, then so did Scrapper, after that they just kept on going back and forth to make sure they weren't dreaming.

"Ok we aren't dreaming!" Scraper said as he grabbed Jacks hand.

"Why would we be dreaming? We're dead!" Jack shouted.

"Apparently not anymore." Scrapper said as he looked around.

"Am I the only one who feels younger? Like I am a teenager again?" Jack asked looking at a huge building that looked very odd to him.

"I feel that way to, but you look just like you did on the ship before you put on the armour, just a bit shorter." Scrapper said.

"Well I was only 25 so I wouldn't look that much different." Jack pointed out. "The same effect goes for you, but you clones don't age normally, you have that ageing chip thing."

"Why are you trying to make sense of anything? We should be dead!" Scrapper exclaimed.

"Good point. Now, I say we should head into that big old building and find out where we are, because I don't think we are getting home." Jack said.

"Alright, but first I'm finding out what is in my Backpack." Scrapper said.

"That looks a lot like the ones that the Republic uses." Jack said taking off his backpack and setting it on the ground. "Oh! so does mine!" After that he opened up his backpack, however scrapper was looking at his pack trying to find the republic symbol. "My blasters are in here!" Jack said as he pulled out his trusty LL-30 Blaster Pistols. "Awww, were's the armour?" Jack asked as he looked around for his Mandalorian armour.

"These things can't hold everything, and they aren't expandable." Scrapper said.

"Maybe it's somewhere else?" Jack suggested.

"I wouldn't count on it." Scrapper said as he pulled out his two DC-17's. However, while they were trying to figure out what was going on, Sunset and her friends were trying to figure out why someone just screamed.

"Who just screamed?" Sunset asked looking around the cafeteria.

"I don't know, maybe it was someone not in this room!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I don't think so, the only people that aren't here is Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna." Sunset pointed out.

"It could have been one of them." Rarity said.

"That was a boy though, I think maybe two of them." Sunset said.

"Well all of the boys are in here." Applejack said.

"Should we check outside and see if anyone's there?" Rainbow Dash suggested.

"I guess we could, but we should hurry, we don't have much time left." Sunset said, then they all went to go check outside.

"Let's put everything back in our packs, we don't know if there is anything else here, and if there is what there opinion on weapons are." Jack said.

"Why would anyone else be here?" Scrapper asked.

"Just for safety sake." Jack said as he put his guns in his pack and putting it on. Then shortly after so did Scrapper, then they headed towards the giant building in front of them. Once they entered the building, they noticed glass containers with trophies, banners with the letter C and some horses, more glass doors, some lookers in hallways and two staircases.

"I think this is a high school." Scrapper said.

"Or really I thought it was a medical bay." Jack said sarcastically.

"Shut up." Scrapper said as he saw a group of very colourful girls looking around the same age as Jack and himself. "Who are they?" He asked. Then after he said that they all came into the room and were looking at him and Jack.

"Well they look like human teenage girls, but in colours I've never seen. I wonder if they speak Galactic basic." Jack said.

"Umm, who are you?" Sunset asked.

"Oh look they do!" Jack said as he walked up to the yellow one with pink hair, only to have her quickly hide behind a light blue coloured one. "What odd skin colours for humans though." He said as he looked at the blue one now.

"Hey, do you mind not staring at me?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Sorry about my friend here, he is curious, we don't come from around here." Scrapper said pulling Jack away.

"Well if you aren't from around here then you must be new!" Pinkie Pie said happily. "That means I can throw you a party!"

"Well, that sure would be new!" Jack said.

"Where did you come from then?" Sunset asked.

"Someplace far far away. I don't remember what exactly it was called." Scrapper said.

"Well then, how long will you be staying here?" Sunset asked.

"I guess forever." Jack said.

"Well then welcome to Canterlot high!" Sunset said.

"Thank you, my name is Scrapper and his name is Jack." Scrapper said.

"My name is Sunset Shimmer, and that's Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie." She said pointing to each person as she said their name.

"It is very nice to meet you all." Scrapper said.

"Do you need to sign up for the school still or have you already done that?" Sunset asked.

"We need to sign up, if you wouldn't mind pointing us in the general direction." Scrapper said.

"Here follow me, I can take you to the place you need to go." Sunset said as she walked to the principal's office.

"Thank you." Scrapper said as he and Jack followed her.

"I wonder if this planet has ships we can use." Jack said as they were walking.

"I doubt it, from the looks of things I can't tell if they have even figured out how to make things hover." Scrapper said.

"How would they not be able to make things hover, everyone in the galaxy knows how to at least do that." Jack said.

"I don't know if we are in that Galaxy, or even that universe. We did die after all." Scrapper said.

"Oh yeah." Jack said.

"Alright, here we are." Sunset said as they reached their destination.

"Thank you." Scrapper said as he and Jack walked into the office to get signed up for the school.

"He seems really nice, maybe we could be friends!" Sunset said happily. She was hoping that he gets the same classes as her so that she can talk to him more and become his friend. She also thought about the other one Jack. Mostly she was wondering why he would wear a hoodie and gloves when it was hot outside, but also why he was so curious about her and her friends. However he did say that he was from a place far away so she just put it at that and thought nothing more of it. However while she was thinking her friends came up behind her.

"So, do you think that they are the ones who screamed?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Probably, because they seemed to be the only ones there, and they were both boys." Sunset said.

"I wonder what type of party I will trow for them." Pinkie thought out loud.

"I'd say just a normal one, but with blue instead of pink." Sunset said.

"I'm gonna go start on it now!" Pinkie Pie said before dashing off to set up the party.

"I like Scrapper, he is very polite." Rarity said.

"Well, we should get back to lunch while we can, I want to finish my food." Sunset said, and with an agree from everyone else they went to finish their meal.

Jack and Scrapper had just got out of the principals office signed up for school, and they also got their own locker. However since they didn't have anything they needed to drop off they had decided to go to their first class, history. They were both very excited for this class because they were both interested about this places history and culture.

"I wonder if there are any bad people here, and if there are I want to fight them." Jack said.

"I'm sort of hoping that there are, because I'm going to miss fighting those clankers." Scrapper said.

"I'm gonna miss the kick of hyperspace." Jack said.

"Agreed. I think we're here." Scrapper said.

"Do you think, that if we were to die here, that we would stay dead, or pop up someplace else?" Jack asked before they entered.

"I don't need to think about that, because we aren't going to die. Unless they have droidekas we are staying right here." Scrapper said putting his hand on his friends shoulder.

"I'm going to miss our droids." Jack said.

"I am as well, but this is our new life, and we must accept that." Scrapper said.

"I know." Jack sighed.

"Cheer up, at least your not the only one." Scrapper said smiling.

"Well, that is true brother." Jack said.

"Now lets head in and learn some stuff." Scrapper said, then they opened the doors and found out that Sunset and her friends were in the same class. However they also found out that they were two minutes late. "Crikey."

"Where have you two been?" The teacher asked.

"Naboo." Jack said.

"Very funny, make up a fake place as an excuse. Find a seat and take it." The teacher said.

"Not my fault you are planet bound." Jack said quietly, then he and Scrapper took a seat. However, while everyone else was either writing notes or talking, Jack and Scrapper were trying to figure out what the teacher was talking about.

"You in the black hoodie." The teacher said.

"My name is Jack." Jack said.

"Ok then Jack, do you mind taking off your gloves." The teacher said. Then Jack started to take off his left glove, but as he did he say that he still had his robotic arm and quickly put the glove back on.

"Yes I do." Jack said.

"And why is that?" The teacher asked.

"A secrtet that you wouldn't understand." Jack said, which in turn got quite a few unneeded gasps.

"Alright then, if you are going to act that way you can go to the principals office." The teacher said.

"Fine by me." Jack said, then he and Scrapper started to leave before the teacher spoke up.

"Not you Black shirt, only Jack." The teacher said.

"I'm going with him and you aren't stopping me." Scrapper said before following Jack out the door. Then after a bit of walking they were back at the principals office, then they opened the door and sat at two chairs in front of the desk. Then after a second Celestia came into the room and sat at her chair.

"What seems to be the problem?" She asked.

"The teacher wanted me to take of my gloves, I said no, then he asked why, and I said it was a secret he wouldn't understand." Jack said.

"What you said to him is quite rude." She said.

"What he wanted me to do is rude in my opinion." Jack said.

"How is taking off your gloves rude?" She asked.

"Something happened to him that has to do with his hand, and he isn't a big fan of showing it to people." Scrapper said.

"Alright, go back to class, and you don't have to take off your gloves if you don't want to." She said.

"Thank you." Jack said, then he and Scrapper went back to class until it was time to switch classes. Then after class they accidentally bumped into the group of girls from before.

"Oh hi Jack and Scrapper. Why did you object to taking off your gloves." Sunset asked.

"Yes, they don't look very nice, so why object?" Rarity added.

"I don't like to talk about it." Jack said.

"Well then we won't bother you about it." Sunset said. "So what class are you going to next?" She asked.

"I'm going to chemistry, and Jacks going to literature." Scrapper said.

"I'm going to chemistry too! here I can take you to the class." Sunset said walking towards the classroom.

"Me and Fluttershy are going to lit, so we can take you there." Rainbow Dash said.

"Alright then." Jack said, then he followed then to the correct class, he was glad that they had taken him, because there was a sign above the door and he had no idea what it said. Then they entered and Jack found a seat next to Fluttershy, which he was happy about. He didn't know anything about her but her shyness was quite adorable. Then the teacher told them something to write about, and gave them a time limit. But unlike everyone else, Jack was writing in galactic basic, Aurebesh. So once the time was up the students went up and put their papers on her desk. but while she was looking at them she found Jacks and held it up.

"Who's paper is this?" She asked.

"That's mine." Jack said.

"I told you to write, not draw little pictures." She said.

"I did write, in Galactic basic, surely you know what that is at least." Jack said.

"There is no such thing as this Galactic basic you speak of." She said.

"Your'e kidding right? That is the most basic language in the galaxy, the only other languages I know are Huttese and Jawa Trade Language!" Jack said.

"Well right now you are speaking English." The teacher said.

"What is English?" Jack asked.

"It is the language we are both speaking right now." The teacher said.

"My language is written differently, although it may sound like yours it is not. That is the language everyone spoke where I come from." Jack said.

"Did no one teach you English before you came here?" She asked.

"No." Jack said.

"Well then you had better learn it." She said. Then the rest of class went through until they heard the bell ring, which signaled the end of the school day. Everyone except for Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and another girl who was having a bit of trouble maneuvering, so Jack went over to help her out.

"Do you need some help?" He asked.

"I can do it, I just have a bit of a hard time knowing where things are." She said.

"I have an Idea, stay here." Jack said, then he pushed all of the desks out of her way so that she had a straight path to the door. "Does that help?" He asked as he walked up to her, and when he did he noticed that her eyes were a bit off.

"Thank you." She said, then she went to leave, but Jack noticed that she was about to miss the door by a bit. So he went up and helped her get through the door. "Thanks, again." She said before going to leave the school.

"Wow, no one ever really helps Derpy." Rainbow Dash said.

"Why doesn't anyone help her?" Jack asked.

"They just don't pay much attention to her." She said.

"Now why would that be, she seems like a perfectly nice girl." Jack said, but when he turned around he found Rainbow Dash right in front of him.

"You like her don't you?" She asked.

"I don't see why I wouldn't, she seems like a nice person." Jack said.

"No, I mean you love her." Rainbow Dash said.

"I try not to fall in love, it makes things harder, especially where I come from." Jack said.

"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Where I come from death is very common, so if the one I loved died I wouldn't be able to do my job." Jack explained.

"Oh." Was all Rainbow Dash could say. Then they went to the main area.

"Hey Jack, how was your class?" Scrapper asked.

"Terrible, they don't know what Galactic basic is." Jack said.

"How? They speak it!" Scrapper asked, however he only got a shrug in response.

"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow." Sunset said, then she and her friends left to go home and hang out.

"See you." Jack and Scrapper said. "I say we stay here for the rest of our lives." Jack suggested.

"We both have a lot of credits on us, we can probably get a really nice house." Scrapper said.

"If they don't speak Galactic basic, why would they use Galactic credits?" Jack asked.

"I can see the logic behind that." Scrapper said.

"Ugh, this sweater is to hot." Jack complained as he took off his hoodie revealing a red t-shirt.

"Nice shirt." Scrapper said.

"Thanks, I came back to life with it." Jack said.

"Hah hah, now let's figure out where everything is." Scrapper said smiling.

"I have an idea, how about we see if our armour is in our lockers!" Jack said.

"Why would it be in there?" Scrapper asked.

"Magic!" Jack said doing jazz hands, and smiling a huge smile.

"Magic isn't real." Scrapper said.

"Oh right, I must be forgetting about the reviving and teleportation devise, as well as the planet occupied by colourful humans and who don't yet know about Galactic basic." Jack said mockingly.

"Fine, it's magic." Scrapper said, growling.

"Yay! also, if I find my armour in my locker do I get to shoot you in the leg with a training bolt?" Jack asked.

"Sure, but only because it won't be in there." Scrapper said.

"Alright then, and remember how much they hurt." Jack said before running to his locker.

"He can be just like a child at times." Scrapper said, then an orange kid on a scooter drove by and out the doors of the school, followed by two other kids shouting.

"Scootaloo! Get back here!" Shouted the small yellow coloured girl with red hair and freckles.

"Wait up!" Shouted the small white coloured girl with pink and purple hair. While they were running though, Scrapper stopped them.

"Was that orange girl the one you were chasing?" Scrapper asked.

"Yeah, we were going to do a project but she was listening to music and couldn't hear us." The yellow one said in a southern accent.

"Stay here, I'll get her for you." Scrapper said, then he ran in the direction he saw the orange girl, presumably called Scootaloo, head in, and while he was running in that direction he saw Scootaloo, and once he did he started to run as fast as possible, going faster than Scootaloo and stopping her by grabbing the scooter.

"Hey, what are you doing? Who are you?" She asked taking off her earbuds.

"Your friends want to talk to you about something. They're waiting for you at the school." He said.

"How do I know you aren't just trying to kidnap me?" Scootaloo asked.

"You don't, but I'm simply telling you that your friends would like to talk to you." Jack said as we walked back to the school, and after a bit of thinking Scootaloo joined him.

"I don't remember seeing you around here, are you new?" She asked.

"Yeah." Scrapper said.

"Pinkie Pie is gonna be so happy that she gets to throw you a party." Scootaloo said.

"Well, that is something to look forward to." Scrapper said.

"Her party's are the best! I know you'll like yours." Scootaloo said.

"I guess I will." He said, then they stopped at the school and saw the Yellow and white girls sitting outside. "There they are." He said, then the yellow girl noticed them and her and the white one ran over.

"Scootaloo! Why didn't you wait for us?" The yellow one asked.

"Sorry Apple Bloom, I didn't know we were going to be doing something." Scootaloo said.

"We always do something!" The white one said.

"Sorry Sweeite Belle, I didn't think we were going to today." Scootaloo said.

"Just think that we always are going to do something." Sweetie Belle said.

"Thanks for getting Scootaloo for us sir." Apple Bloom said.

"Call me Scrapper, and no problem." he said. Then the girls left to do their own thing, something about music from what Scrapper could hear. "I think I'm going to like it here, everyone seems really nice." He said, then he heard a sound like a blaster going off, then he felt a sharp pain in his leg. "AH JEDI SABERS!" He shouted, and behind him was John holding his blaster.

"SUCK IT!" John said laughing, then he held up his helmet. "MAGIC!" He shouted still laughing.

"If this wasn't a deal I'd kill you!" Scrapper shouted.

"I doubt that." Jack said as he walked over and helped Scrapper up, still laughing a bit. "I found the whole set in my locker. Which means your armour should be in your locker." Jack said.

"I'll go take a look." Scrapper said, then he went to his locker, and once he opened it he saw his Clone armour neatly put away. "Wow." He said.

"I'm wanting to know how they got in there, something better than magic." Jack said.

"You're the one who said it was magic." Scrapper said.

"I know, but it just seems to perfect." Jack said.

"Well, we'll have time to wonder about that later. Right now I'm tired." Scrapper said.

"I agree, but where should we go?" Jack asked.

"Where is a place not many people go to?" Scrapper asked.

"Basement?" Jack guessed.

"That'll work to." Scrapper said, then they found their way to the basement and fell asleep. However, it was still daylight out, and Sunset and her friends were wondering about what the two new boys meant.

"What is Galactic Basic, and why should we know it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Maybe they're used to everyone knowing it from where they come from." Fluttershy said.

"What an odd fashion design, straight black." Rarity said.

"Should I do red, or blue balloons?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Alright, if you guys have so many questions, let's head back and ask them shall we?" Sunset asked, and everyone agreed. So they went back to the school to talk to Scrapper and Jack.
