Unknown.
Canterlot Airport, Midnight
“Mom, I told you I'm going to be fine, besides you said you wanted me out of the house so I got out the house.” Artic said impatiently.
He had Arctic blue skin, semi-long pitch black hair, inky black eye's, and was about six-foot-one. He sat on a cirb infront of the entrance to the airport. He wore a dark blue hoodie that was over a plain white shirt, green cargo pants, and light blue sneakers,
“I swear you worry too much.” He continued.
“I’m your mother, of course I’m going to worry, Arctic. I just don't want to hear about you getting into trouble on the first day.” Arctic’s mother said while he rolled his eyed at the comment of his very protective mother.
“Mom, I'm a grown up now. I got my big boy pants on, my lucky hoodie on… I’m absolutely ready for this,” Arctic corrected himself, “Though I am mad that Uncle isn't here yet, I wonder if he's doing something right now?”
At his Uncle’s house.
“Aw man I'm late, I'm late, I’m late!” A man repeated as he rushed across his room to find clothes to put on.
The man had ashy gray skin, with short white hair sporting a long goatee, he was about six foot and his eyes were bright red.
“There! It's not my best but it's better than nothing.” He said once he fixed his white shirt and black shorts, “No time for delaying my nephew's arrival, I just hope Jinx isn't going to be to pissed off with me being late!”
Back at the Airport
“Eh, I'm sure he's coming,” Arctic shrugged, “Alright now what should I listen to since I’m going to be here for awhile?”
Arctic looked through his phone trying to find something to help pass the time but all he found interesting was a classic back in his mother's hay day. Shrugging he plugged in his headphones and pressedplay. Arctic smiled a little as the song played and couldn't really understand why. He always liked music but never really played anything in his life save for a piano that is.
He doesn't really have any friends or can really trust a lot of people, it's an issue that his mother thinks she can change by sending him to live with his uncle that he hasn't seen in about his whole life, and he’s only seen pictures.
But for now Arctic was lost in his own little world of music making the outside world disappear. It wasn't long before the song had ended, leaving Arctic sat in bored silence.
“I knew I should have charged it before boarding the bloody plane.” Artic thought as he looked at his dead phone.
Ten minutes had passed and the uncle was still nowhere to be seen. Arctic wondered what his uncle looked like since the photos he saw were old.
“I hope he isn't like Zuko's uncle from Avatar, that would be kinda weird.” He thought as leaned against his hand.
Another ten minutes passed and there was nothing so far. Arctic was no expert in time but his uncle should have been here awhile ago.
“The bloody hell is taking him so-JESUS!”
He screamed and fell back as a car sped up next to him and stopped dead in its tracks with streak marks painting the ground. It was an onyx black 1960 dodge charger with old school string rims and some of the engine popping out of the hood. All the other people waiting looked at the car and had a bit of envy in their eyes seeing it.
The engine stopped and the driver seat door sprang open. Arctic recovered from his little fright and got on his feet. He was ready to start cursing at the driver but stopped as the man hopped out.
“Damn, I hope he's here,” The man said, “I got chewed out by Jinx already for being late”
Arctic looked at the man that almost hit him not in anger but more in confusion so he decided to ask the man something.
“U-Uh excuse me sir, how do you know my mother's name?” He asked.
The man looked to Arctic and he didn't even have time to react as the man was already putting Arctic in a bear hug.
“Arctic my boy, it's so good to see after so many years. When I last saw you, your we're up to my knees but now you're as tall as I!” Said the man as he let Arctic go giving him time to catch his breath, “We have so much catching up to do, also I got a little surprise for yo-”
“HOLD ON A BLOODY MINUTE DAMN IT!” Arctic screamed cutting him off, after finally catching his breath Arctic spoke, “Who are you and how do you my name, and while you’re at it, how do you know my mum?”
It was silent for a few minutes but soon the man laughed at him.
“Answer the question!” Artic shouted.
“How could you- Oh right… It's been such a long time since then huh.” He said and reached in his pocket before handing a folded photo to Arctic.
Arctic unfolded the photo and saw his mother and the man in front of him holding baby Arctic.
“You see that handsome devil holding the baby you? That's me” The man proclaimed.
“Clearly, so this means what? You're my father or something?” Arctic said as the man chuckled and shook his head.
“Far from it, I'm your dear old Uncle Discord or Uncle if you like.” Discord said with a bright smile as he snatched the photo out of Arctic’s hands.
Arctic was beyond broken, the man that almost hit with his car and acts silly… is his unknown uncle.
“Now that that’s out of the way, let's get going!” Discord exclaimed, “Your surprise is still waiting for you and I know you're going to love her-oops I said too much”
‘He's exactly Zuko’s uncle just not fat and balding… Okay he’s not fat not sure about the balding that could possibly be a toupee’ thought Arctic as he saw his uncle grabbing the duffle bag that was next to him and placing it in his trunk.
“Hey, careful with that; there's something important in there.” He said
“Really what could it be I wonder?” Discord said as he went to take a peek but his hand was slapped away by Arctic, “Top secret eh? Well I can respect that, now then please put your other things in the back of the car if you will. I'll pull up the seat.”
‘This is going to be a long school year’ Arctic groaned and began packing his stuff in the car.
Once everything was placed in safely, the two got in the car. “
So uncle, why did you almost run me over?”
“Well I was running late and right as I was driving down I got a call from your mother dearest and it went a little something like this,” Discord answered as he pulled out his phone and plugged in an aux cord before pressing something then out came the message.
“I WILL RIP YOU A NEW ONE IF YOU LET MY BABY BOY SIT THERE WAITING, SO GET YOUR A-” Arctic quickly took the aux out and turned a bit red embarrassed that his mother was still the protective type and thought of him as a baby.
“C’mon mum, I'm not a little kid anymore” Arctic mumbled which made Discord laugh.
Once that was done they took off.
Discord’s house
Discord opened the door to his house and they both walked in. Arctic was colored impressed seeing the inside of the house. Beige colored walls, white ceiling, cherry oak stairs and oak wood floors.
“This place ain't half bad I could get use to this,” said Arctic as he placed his duffle bag down.
Discord chuckled as he locked the front door and quickly made his way to the living room.
“Arctic, could you come here for a second? I have to give you your welcoming gift!” Discord called to him.
Arctic walked towards the voice. Arctic didn't really expect a gift but his uncle wouldn't stop mentioning it in the car ride over.
As Arctic entered the living room he quickly heard a small meow at his feet. He looked down and saw a small white puff ball on his left leg, Arctic kneeled down and picked up the ball of poof only for it to meow again and was met with two small blue eyes looking back at his black ones.
“It's… a kitten.” Arctic said plainly as he looked back to his uncle.
“Yes sir it is, I was told by your mother that you liked cats when you were little and still find them cute. So as a gift for being gone for so long and meeting you almost all grown up, I thought I should get you a cat.” Discord said slumping on the couch.
“Well… Thanks I guess, though I haven't had a pet since I was a little kid so having a kitten is new-ish to me, but still, thanks.” Arctic said and booped the kitten nose.
It retaliated with a small paw to his finger.
“Hmm I don't know what to call you though… How about Snow?” Artic suggested.
The kitten only tilted its head.
“Okay then Snow’s not good, how about… Frost?” Arctic listed and continued only for the kitten to not meow whatsoever.
“Ugh… the only thing I got left is Ghost but I’m sure she doesn't-”
“Meow” The kitten said interrupting him.
Discord was already laughing while Arctic was groaning.
“Really… Ghost? Of all things you pick Ghost?!” Arctic said bringing ghost closer and having her lick his nose. This made the boy sigh in defeat and made ghost paw at his hair. “Fine ghost it is then, kinda weird name but mine is literal Arctic Night so I'm not one to judge.”
Discord smiled seeing his nephew liking his present but he also checked the time and saw how much time had passed. Discord picked Arctic up at twelve and now it's one o’clock so it should about time to go to sleep.
“Alright well I'm sure you're exhausted from jet lag and it's almost time for bed so get settled in. Your room is down the hall and to the right,” he said and grabbed Ghost.
“Yeah, you're right about being exhausted; I'll get my stuff in and just head to bed. Goodnight Ghost.” Arctic said and made his way upstairs and to his room.
He wasted no time throwing his stuff to the side and stripping to his boxers, he turned off the lights in his room that wasn't really that small even had a desk in it for him to work at. He climbed under the covers and sighed.
“Got the lights, got my clothes off… I'm ready for bed… I can't help but feel like I forgot something… Meh, I'm sure it's nothing,” with that he went on to dream of sheep.
Arctic heard a short but loud knock on his bedroom door, He groaned as he flipped off the door knowing who it was.
“Arctic you gotta get up it's time for your first day” Discord called out from the other side of the door while holding some clothes in his hands. But to his dismay the man heard nothing but a dead man groaning in annoyance.
“I'll let you take ghost” He added then waited.
There was a brief silence before Discord heard the boy curse silently as he got out of bed. With a smirk he opened the door and walked into the pitch black room, after a few seconds of feeling the wall Discord found the light switch and flipped it.
“Ah bloody hell!” Arctic screamed and covered his now burning eyes from the bright light. Discord rolled his eyes and placed his clothes on his bed.
“You burned my eye's Uncle what the hell!” Arctic continued and was hit in the face with a shirt.
“No cursing in this house young man understand; I'll let it slide this once but I don't want to hear it anymore.” Discord sternly said and Arctic hissed. “Alright so I grabbed some things for you to wear on your first day-”
“Whoa, Whoa, Whoa what do you mean picked out clothes for me I can pick out clothes for myself” Arctic interrupted, but Discord carried on.
“Because I want you to make a good impression, your mother told me last night that you were never really social with others. You know what they say, the clothes make the man and this will make you look like a gentlemen” Discord pointed out, he was not wrong Arctic had only the color black for his wardrobe maybe a few white and other colored shirt here and there but nothing else.
“I-I don't know Uncle, I'm not really the type to stand out a lot “ Arctic said looking at his new outfit. The yellow and black vest matched the black pants and dress pants perfectly and the white shirt button up made it complete.
“You never know until you try, c’mon then try it on I'll be waiting downstairs with breakfast” Discord said and walked out of the room. Arctic looked at the clothes in his hands and sighed, “Oh and, do you comb your hair it's quite… messy” Discord added popping his head in one more time before closing the door.
“Well… here goes nothing I guess” He muttered before beginning to dress himself.
Downstair in the kitchen
Arctics uncle Discord sat at the table wearing a black buttoned vest, black pants and a dark navy blue button up. He sipped his coffee slowly as to not burn his tongue and waited for his nephew to come down.
A plate of pancakes and banana slices sat on a plate next to a small bottle of syrup. The sounds of clicking footsteps came from the stairs and Discord quickly got excited yet kept his stoic face. He put his cup down and waited for Arctic to enter the kitchen.
“I do hope things go smoothly today… hopefully” Discord thought just as Arctic entered the kitchen. His outfit matched his uncles exactly except for the white shirt and yellow buttoned vest. It fit him perfectly, the vest hugged him and the pants don't sag neither the shirt, though he rolled them up half way up his forearm. His pitch black hair was combed to the side letting some of his bangs hang in front of him and barely touching his ear.
“Uh… Uncle, I don't know if this suits me” Arctic said slightly embarrassed, he never wore anything like this before. It was a bit awkward for him to wear it especially today. “Do I have to wear it?”
“Yes, besides you look like a dashing young man if your mother saw you, oh boy; I wouldn't be surprised if she thought you were a different person” Discord said. “Now come and eat, we don't have all day you know” He said and Arctic could smell the food waiting for him. He quickly went over and began chowing down.
After eating, the two made their way to the car and were now halfway to the school. Discord was more excited about Arctics first day than he was, in his mind Arctic was thinking hating this school already. It was just gonna be like the others he's been too.
“Alright we're here!” Discord announced as he drove in to a parking spot then cut the engine. “You ready to start your new life?”
“Sure, but what classes do I have?” Arctic asked as they got out the car and walked towards the school.
“We have to talk to Celestia about that situation, she runs this school with her younger sister Luna” Discord answered, they reached the front doors. He gave a small push and instantly Arctics heart began to race, the whole place was filled to the brim with students. From freshman to Senior, all shapes and sizes.
All Arctic felt was his heart beating, he didn't like big crowds of people it made him lose his breath and become on edge. Discord noticed his nephew's discomfort and looked at him with worry.
“Arctic, are you alright?” Discord asked snapping him out of his mini freak out.
“O-Oh… uh yeah, just uh… I'm not to good with crowds Uncle but I should be fine, just kinda took me by surprise Im sure I should be fine now” Arctic assured Discord.
“Alright, just let me know if it's to much ok; I don't want you to freak out again when I open the door” Discord said with worry. Arctic gave a few short breaths and nodded before his Uncle opened the door this time slower.
The kids that were walking around had lessin due to the half time bell ringing. Arctic gave a small sigh and the two walked in, that familiar smell of the school washed over the boy as the doors to the outside world had closed. On the sides had cases with trophies and pictures of either the teams that won the trophies and the principles next to the single student who won either a math, music, and arts competition.
The main colors of the main lobby was pearly white, gold, and royal blue. In all honesty the place looked better than all the other schools Arctic went to in England still didn't change his mind set when he again realized he had to deal with the same rules and the same thing every hour on the hour. The final bell rang and the few kids that had stayed out late groaned as they went to pick up a tardy paper.
“I gotta say this place is nice, hopefully it's not like those other schools back in England” Arctic said with a small snort. He remembers all the times he got in trouble for all the crap he did back their. “That gym probably still has pink paint all over it, who knew filling balloons with paint would work so well”
“Right, I'm sure your mother had… different words than those” Discord said with a snicker and made a chill go up Arctics spine. “Alright, enough idle chatting let's get to Tia’s office for your schedule”
Principal Celestia's office
The principal of this very school, Principal Celestia, was quietly working on her computer. Her height was at 5’11, her skin was soft peach and pink color, her hair held multiple colors such as green, blue, pink and purple. She wore a tan jumpsuit with a purple button up shirt underneath and finally she wore heels the same color as her suite.
Three knocks were heard on Celestia's door causing the woman stop typing and look toward the door.
“Come in” She called out straightening herself out, a few seconds passed and the door opened up. It revealed to the woman Arctic and Discord standing at the otherside. “Ah Superintendent Discord a pleasure to see you again, is this the nephew you talked about yesterday?” Principal Celestia asked Discord.
“Yes it is my dear Tia, his name is Arctic Night and Im well aware you know who his mother is?” Discord said with a small smirk.
“Wait, you mean-she and him-made-oh my lord” Celestia said her eyes a tad wider and her jaw hanging. She stared at Arctic for some time until Discord cleared his throat snapping her out of her trance. “You're Jinx’s child!”
“Did someone say Jinx?”
Everyone turned as they heard another voice come from a side door. Their stood a woman with pale blue skin, baby blue eyes, blue and purple hair that reached to her back, wearing a light purple shirt with a white color and a crescent moon clip holding it in place. And finally she had on long purple pants and white shoes to match.
“Ah Luna come I'd like you to meet my nephew, Arctic Night son of your dear friend Jinx” Discord said and Luna stared at Arctic, the boy shuffled slightly at the feeling of her gaze and tried to hide behind his hair but failed.
“I do see a resemblance though, she never had black hair or black eyes before… must have gotten it from his father I suppose other than that he looks like a boy version of Jinx” Vice-principal Luna said and walked over to Arctic with her hand out. “It's a pleasure to meet you Arctic, hopefully we will get to talk again soon though, lets hope its not because you got in trouble” Luna said as Arctic shook her hand.
“It was nice meeting you too” Arctic said and felt embarrassed for acting like a shy kid. After their handshake, Vice-principal Luna waved her sister and discord goodbye and carried on with her day.
“Alrighty then let's get you, your schedule” Celestia said and began typing away on her computer. Not even a few minutes later did the three heard the printer hum for a bit then stop with a slip of paper coming out.
Celestia grabbed the paper and looked it over, making sure that the ink didn't smear or faded the words. “Ok here is your school schedule Arctic, would you like one of our students to show you around the school?” Celestia offered.
Before Arctic could give an answer the door opened up behind them. “Uhm, I'm very sorry to interrupt principal Celestia I came to ask if can hang a flier for the animal shel-” A small shy voice cut off as everyone looked towards the voice.
“Ah! Fluttershy great timing, I was just asking our newest student if he wanted a tour of the school. Would you be so kind as to show him around?” Celestia asked the girl.
Arctic took notice of how she looked. The girls skin was butter yellow, her eyes shined ever so lightly a bright turquoise, her long ashy hair reached past her shoulders, it shined in the light and the bangs were held back by a blue buttershy pin. She wore a baby blue tank top with small pink butterflies in the middle, a yellow and orange red skirt with blue butterflies, and small white shoes with pink socks going up half her calf.
Arctic couldn't lie, he may have disliked a lot of people, but he found this Fluttershy girl slightly cute. But then again he thought about that with every girl in england so the thought flew past him.
“Ooh! Fluttershy my dear it's been too long how have you been?” Discord asked and brightened up the shy girls face a bit.
“Mr. Discord, I had no idea you would be here did you want to cancel tea with the principals later?” Fluttershy asked but Discord shook his head.
“Heavens no my dear, I came to have my nephew get his schedule; he starting today actually” Discord said and threw a light elbow to Arctics arm. The boy hissed slightly at the pain and rubbed his arm, he sighed and waved.
“Speaking of whom, Fluttershy I'd like you to be the student to meet him” He continued, but before he did he walked over to Fluttershy and bent down slightly. “But I have to warn you, he is not the type of person to befriend so easily so don't get hurt by what he says alright” Discord whispered and the girl nodded. “Great! Come now Arctic say hello to Fluttershy”
Arctic stayed silent for a bit making everyone in the room shift. Arctic didn't want to talk to someone he just met and he felt himself tense up and heart racing slightly trying to forcefully say ‘Hello’. Seeing the boy all tensed and struggling, Fluttershy nervously walked in front of him and held out her hand.
“Uhm, hello, Im sure you already know may name is fluttershy, it's nice to meet you Arctic” Fluttershy bravely said without stuttering like all the other times. Arctic looked her in the eye and then at her hand, he repeated for a bit then loosened up a bit and slowly grabbed her hand.
“Likewise” Arctic said with a shaly breath and gave her hand a small shake before quickly retracting is hand. “ I don't think I'll need a tour, I usually tend to find the classes on my own” Arctic said to Celestia and she looked towards Discord.
“Well… alright, but at least let Fluttershy take you to your class. She knows about these halls more than you do after all” Celestia said and Arctic gave a small groan before agreeing.
“Alright, I guess I should head off, Arctic be good and try to make some friends okay” Discord said and stared at Arctic. The boy just gave a thumbs up before holding out his hand. “What?... oh! Of course how could I forget she's just dying to being with you” He said and from his vest pocket he pulled out the little puff ball ghost.
“Oh my goodness she's so cute!” Fluttershy squealed excitedly and rushed over to see her. Ghost open its little eyes and gave a small yawn making a bigger smile come on Fluttershy's face.
“Oh she's so adorable, I've never seen a kitten so small before whats her name?!” She asked.
“Her name is ghost, that was the only name she liked and just looks like a ghost from cartoon” Arctic answered grabbing hold of the small thing. She purred as he held her in his hands, “Heh this is gonna take some getting used to”
“Pardon me mr. Arctic, but I'm sorry to say that, you can't have your pet or any animal on school grounds so that kids allergic to said animal would not get harmed, unless they are there to help you like a service dog” Celestia stated causing the smile on Arctics and Fluttershy’s face to drop.
“Whoops, so sorry Arctic must have slipped my mind… guess we gotta get you home ghost” Discord said taking ghost back in his hands.
“Great… whatever, lets go already” Arctic said with a bit of venom before walking out the room.
“I think you should go to ms. Shy, and thank you again” Celestia said and the shy girl nodded before leaving the room to catch up to Arctic. Celestia sighed heavily and leaned in the back of her chair, Discord gave a small chuckle as he closed the door. “Heh are sure thats not jinx in a boy costume?"
“No I made sure, oh before I go I should warn you. He's a bit to much of his mother, remember how she hated being around people?” Discord asked the woman and she nodded. “Well, she told me that he has never really made any friends back in England and would outcast himself from the other students. He has ‘Major’ trust issues as Jinx's said, the only person he trust's his herself and his sister"
“So what your saying is, he's a bit… on edge at the moment?” Celestia ask unsure if she was right, but with a simple nod she was. “Please tell me he doesn't have her temper”
“Define temper” Discord said and made the older woman groan. “It's gonna be alright celestia, if I know anyone that can crack his shell even just a little bit. It's the girl following him to class right now” Discord assured Celestia.
“I hope you're right Discord, but I have to ask... how's Night doing?” Celestia asked and was met with silence. “I see, another time then I suppose”
“I'll see you later Tia, please don't forget the cookies this time... and, he's doing fine” Discord said, his voice choked a little before he walked out the room with ghost in hand.
As Arctic and Fluttershy walked down the halls, it was quiet between the two. Neither spoke or wanted to speak, for one, Arctic was upset about not able to have his pet with him, and the second was that Fluttershy was… well shy and slightly scared of the hate emitting off of the boy.
The silence grew heavier, and heavier. By now Arctic wasn't as angry as he was before and now he was expecting for Fluttershy to talk like everyone else back in his old school. To try and make friends, he spat at the thought.
‘Never again’ He thought, it was then they came up to a crossroads with two paths. Arctic looked both ways then shrugged and went to the left while Fluttershy stood still, the boy noticed and turned around.
“What wrong, why have you stopped?” Arctic asked slightly confused, Fluttershy shuffled a little before pointing the other way. “What are you-” he was interrupted as Fluttershy went to speak.
“Thats the wrong way, you go left not right, that leads to the soccer field and the gym” Fluttershy said before walking in the right direction. Embarrassed, the boy blushed a light pink before coughing in his fist and followed after.
“Mention that next time would ya” He said playing it off catching up to his guide, this incited a small giggle from Fluttershy deeping the embarrassed blush turning his blue skin a soft rosy red. “Shut up” He muttered before they continued on.
“It's… not much further, just another hallway down and it's on our right” Fluttershy announced and Arctic was just glad that this little walk would be done. “....Uhm, Arctic?” Fluttershy called and Arctic titled his head her Direction.
“Yeah what is it?” He asked with a bored tone
“Where did you come from?” Fluttershy asked, Arctic arched an eyebrow to this and sighed.
“Well ya see, when a mommy and daddy love eachother very much they decide to do the dirty deed,a.k.a Sex, which means that after they have their ‘session’. They wait nine months then a small little Baby pops out and they name it Arctic Night. And that's the story of where Arctic came from, the end” Arctic said with a small grin as he saw the girl holding her burning red cheeks, he might have gone to far for her standards but he didn't care it was payback for getting him embarrassed.
“I-I meant, where did you come from, do you live here and transferred school's or did come from another country or state?” The shy girl asked and Arctic snorted softly.
“Yeah I know what you meant, I was born in England with my Mom. It me, my twin sister and my Mom… my dad on the other hand he-” Arctic paused and wondered why he was going into his life story for a girl he just met, he shook his head and walked faster. “That's enough story time, c'mon you walk like me grandparents” he continued.
Fluttershy was left knowing a little bit of the boy, she was curious though. Discord had told her that he doesn't do well with others or makes as much friends close to none. Though to Fluttershy it looked like he was kinda nice, a little edgy, but nice.
As they neared the door Arctic went to grab the handle but Fluttershy quickly stopped him from opening the door by grabbing his hand. “What's all this then?” Arctic asked a little annoyed. They both looked at their hands and Fluttershy was the only that was blushing while Arctic click his tongue.
“I-I’m so sorry, it's just… well uhm…” Fluttershy seemed to be glowing even more red and hiding behind her hair more. Remembering what his Mother said about treating girls with respect, Arctic sighed and put a hand to her shoulder making her give a small ‘eep’.
“Look it's fine that you touched my hand, now calm down and tell me why you stopped me alright” He said being as sincere as he could, this made the yellow girls blush lessin and came out of her hair curtains.
“I'm sorry… there's a test today and we have to wait for a bit before entering. Ms. Harshwhinny hates it when people walk in, interrupting tests or lectures” Fluttershy informed and Arctic clicked his tongue.
“Well great, how long do we have’ta wait then?” Arctic asked.
“Not long, I've finished my test earlier and not many students are far behind were I was. Probably around five minutes” Fluttershy answered, she leaned against the wall and slid down so she can sit and rest for a bit.
Arctic leaned on the wall with arms crossed waiting in silence. The one thing Arctic hated more than anything, it was silence. Yes it was good every once in awhile but he needed some noise to keep him sane.
Seeing as how shy Fluttershy was, Arctic had to start the conversation. “So then… where'd you come from?”
At the question Fluttershy looked up to Arctic. “its only fair, I told you where I was from love, now it's your turn… c’mon then what's your story?” He asked again. Fluttershy brought her knees to her chest and thought for a bit.
“Well, I was born and raised in a city called Clouds Dale a very big and open city filled with all kinds of people" Fluttershy started. "But... I was bullied most of the time at my old schools because of how skinny and lengthy I was at my age, but thats were I had met my best friend Rainbow dash she protected me from the other bullies one day and we became friends ever since" she said with a small smile on her lips, but lost it soon after. "But Rainbow and her family moved and at the time I didnt know where, that is, until I also moved because of my dad getting a promotion... We moved here as I started freshman year and I was instantly reunited with Rainbow, along with some new friends and as the years went on they got boyfriends and we met new friends and... now I met you" She finished.
Arctic humed as she finished her life story and thought to himself for a bit. A few seconds pass and all Arctic could think about was how a girl like this was bullied for no reason, but thought for a minute and remembered he was also bullied just as much as she was.
“I see, you seemed to have a pretty normal life love, save for the bullying, atleast you had someone to help, didnt have bugger all when I got bullied. But during my life I grew up a bit differently, and pulled all the pranks in my schools” Arctic said giving a small snort. “There was this one time where I had filled water balloons with pink paint and gave the main gym a nice new coat”
“Why would you do that?”
“Eh, I was bored and had nothing to do. Man my Mom was so pissed at me, it made the devil shake in his boots… but because of stuff like that I… I had to leave my home” Arctic said getting Fluttershy's attention, but she stayed silent as to hear more.
“I was kicked out of my last school that would take me… when my mom heard about that… she broke down, gave me hell, and didn't talk to me for half a month” Arctic continued, lost in his out loud thoughts. “If… If I could've just done what I was told then maybe.... then maybe... I dont know” he said ending with a heavy sigh.
Fluttershy went to reach over and console him, but just as she was about to touch him, the door swung open scaring them both to death. Arctic had to slap a hand over his mouth as to not curse rapidly.
“I hope you are done with you conversation out here ms. Shy, I do appreciate you not interrupting the testing so please come inside and sit down” An elderly woman in her mid-thirties, darkish orange skin, bright blond hair hanging down close to her eyes, some make up, purple and silver earrings, wearing a purple suit and skirt, black tights and purple heels.
“Yeesh, someone likes purple to much” Arctic blurted out with a chuckle. He stopped as he felt the cold glare from the teacher an inch taller than him.
“And who might you be, don't tell me your skipping class like all the other kids” She said crossing her arms.
“Oh no ms. Harshwhinny, this is actually your new student. His name is Arctic Night” Fluttershy said stepping in.
“Ah yes, I was expecting you mr. Night and by your attitude I can tell we are going to have to set a few rules” Ms. Harshwhinny said making Arctic cock an eyebrow.
“How come? I'm not that bad love” Arctic stated which wasn't technically wrong.
“It's something I do with all the kids, now rule number 1. Do not interrupt the class from lectures and testing, rule number 2. Do not fool around in my class and treat with respect and you will get respect in return, and rule number 3. Do not talk back and follow the rules. If you can do those three things you will be fine” Ms. Harshwhinny said.
“Only three things… kinda laid back dont you think” Arctic said a bit surprised.
“Oh there are more but we don't have time to go over all them. Now then it's time to introduce you to the class come along” She finished and spun around and walked back into the classroom not giving Arctic a chance to say anything else.
"Yeesh what a stick in the mud am I right" Arctic mumbled before walking in with Fluttershy. As he walked in the room his heart almost burst out of his chest and began hyperventilating. Eyes, Eyes was all Arctic could see staring back at him it was suffocating all he could hear was his own heart beat at this point.
"Uhm... Arctic?" A voice cracked though the rapid beats and he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turn to see Fluttershy looking at him with concern, she obviously saw what was wrong just by looking at him. "Your sweating and you're breathing pretty heavily, are you ok?"
"YES!" He blurted out and stepped back, he began calming down and decided to try that again. "*Ahem* Uh yes, yes Im alright just... not good with crowds or people looking at me is all"
"Alright... do you want me to stay here to help ease the tension?" Fluttershy asked.
"No Im good... I do better on my own" Arctic said, he noticed he had gottin a little to close to this girl in such a short amount of time. It was beginning to remind him of... her. "I dont need help... I dont need anyone" He mumbled and motioned Fluttershy away from him.
He stood infront of his class and took a deep breath before exhaling getting his heart rate back to normal. "My name is Arctic Night... I going to be your new classmate lets get along or something like that, I dont know, I've been through the same speech all my life so all you need to know is I am not a very nice person" He finished and looked ms. Harshwhinny.
"Alrighty then, now that that's out of the way, we are done in class for today so it's free time until the bell rings but dont get to loud understand" Ms. Harshwhinny said sternly.
"Yes ms. Harshwhinny" They all said and immediately they all began moving towards their friends or playing on their phones while ms. Harshwhinny went to her desk to grade papers.
"Arctic, we have one desk in the back next to a student named Soul and remember my rules young man" Ms. Harshwhinny said and Arctic rolled his eyes before going forward and finding his seat next to this Soul kid.
"So new kid huh, yeah I've been through the same thing as well" Soul said, his hair was pure white while his irises were bright blue. He had on a black t-shirt underneath his white, half sleeve hoodie with black pants on. He was also wearing a pair of long, black, fingerless gloves. Just as Arctic sat down and put his bag on his desk he saw Souls hand next to him. "Names Soul Writer, friends call me Soul, nice to meet you Arctic" he said and Arctic slowly grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Uh... yeah, like wise" He said getting his hand back began looking through his bag for something he had snuck past his Uncle.
"So where you from?" Soul asked.
"Huh? Oh Im from london" Arctic said not looking away from his bag, until he pulled out a small rectangular device. "Here it is, now lets play" he said excitedly.
"Hey is that the Switch?" Soul asked getting Arctics attention.
"Huh, oh yeah I got this little baby after doing a few jobs around my hometown. Took me a couple of months but I'll tell you what, I got what I wanted though" Arctic said and reached in his bag again and pulled out a game in fancy writing saying "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
"Thats pretty cool man, did you have any money left over?" Soul asked as he watch Arctic put the game in and start playing.
"Oh yeah, I had four hundred dollars and when I bought it I had about one hundred left so I gave it to my mom as a present for dealing with my crap" Arctic said. He caught himself again, but decided to let it slide since he was just asking how he got his system.
"Ya know, this place isn't as bad as my other schools, its strange" Arctic said and Soul snickered slightly.
"Should've been here in the beginning of sophomore and the end of it. I mean, it was pretty strange, my girlfriend actually turned into a demon and tried to take over the school with some sorta dark magic she gained from a crown that she gained from a princess not of this world, then some of my friends girlfriends took control of everyones minds in order to make an army and do who knows what... so yeah other than that" Soul said with a smile saying the entire story with a straight face. Arctic put his system down and look at the boy in confused horror.
"What the fu-" just as he was about to finish the bell rang and everyone started getting up and leaving. Arctic shook his head clearing his thoughts before turning his switch off and putting it away. "So anyway, nice to meet you"
"Likewise, but hey whats your next class?" Soul asked.
That was a good question, Arctic reached in his pocket and took out his schedule and searched for his next class. "Lets see.... oh, P.E. huh cool"
"Oh, your next class is P.E. you might meet my friend Rainbow Dash or Applejack, but uh just in case, dont make them mad" Soul mentioned before walking out the door. Arctic wanted to question that but decided he shouldnt. He looked around for fluttershy but it seemed the girl already left.
"Fantastic... time to wander for half an hour" Arctic groaned and walked out the class.
(Ten minutes later after the bell)
"WHERE THE HELL AM I!!!??" Arctic screamed and threw his bag at the lockers. He huffed for a few seconds before sighing and picking up his bag. He groaned once more before continuing down the hall. "This is it, every hallway, every SINGLE hallway, to my knowledge which is like four, this has to be the right one... what am I talking about this is a highschool theirs an upstairs, hundres of halls and I only know four!" Arctic said getting even more angry and annoyed now.
As he ranted on a didnt notice another student coming up from behind. The student was Arctics height, had spikey blue hair, he was wearing a blue jacket, jeans and a white shirt with a blue sheild and a lighting bolt. He walked up and taped Arctics shoulder.
"Hey uh you ok man, you seem lost" The student asked and Arctic turned to him and his anger went down the drain because someone finally came to help him.
"Yes! For the love of god yes! Oh my god you have no idea how long I've been wandering these damned halls... please can you show me to the gym that has PE?!" Arctic begged the boy who was put off by this.
"Uh... sure its just down the hall to your left and the last door" The boy said making arctic snap his head to the hall he was about to go down and deflated like a balloon. "Im actually heading their myself we can talk on the way if you want" he said prying Arctics hands off his shirt.
"Yeah... sure..." Arctic said still in disbelief and the two started walking.
"So whats your name? Mines Flash Century" Flash asked.
"Arctic... Arctic night" Arctic answered still a bit annoyed but calm none the less. After a few seconds of silence arctic noticed that this guy looked a little to popular and eyed him for a bit making Flash uncomfortable.
"Uhm... ya need something?" Flashed asked with an akward smile.
"Yeah whats your deal man, a popular kid helpin a guy like me. Schools Ive been to had those guys pullin crap with people like me... so tell me, is this a prank?" Arctic asked still eyeing him a bit.
"What? No of course its not a prank and to be honest Im not that popular, Im just trying to help is all anything wrong with that?" Flash asked genuinely and it struck Arctic as odd.
'ooookay then.' Arctic thought. "I guess not... sorry not used to this kind of environment" he continued.
"Oh so you're new here, well welcome and such, hope you have a good time here" Flash said and just as he did they stopped infront of the gym doors. Arctic went to open it but it was locked. "Huh thats strange... oh wait were at the soccer field today my bad"
"Wheres the feild at?" Arctic asked Flash who pointed behind him, he turned and saw the kids in gym uniforms sitting or playing soccer. "Oh... we will not speak of this, ever"
"But-"
"Ever!"
Arctic and Flash walked outside and as they were out a ball flew right past Arctics face scaring him and knocking him on his butt. Flash chuckled at the frighten boy before helping him up.
"Hey are you guys ok?!" A girl called out, we turned and saw a girl with light blue ski, rainbow hair, magenta colored eyes and wearing the PE uniforms.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!" Arctic snapped slightly making both Flash and Rainbow dash jump. Arctic really wanted to let his anger out but he remembered he was supposed to control it. With a long deep breath and a long exhale, the boy slowly calmed himself down and gave a long groan. "Sorry about that, I tend to lose my cool often"
"Geez, you didnt have to yell at me!" Rainbow said, annoyed at the boy. "I kinda wish it didnt miss" She added before picking up the ball and walking back to her game.
"Yeah I kinda expected a reaction like that" Arctic said plainly before he felt like someone was watching him. He looked at his surroundings only to find no, just as he was about walk with Flash to the bleachers, the boy was meet with the color pink... lots of pink, and the smell of candy. "What the fu-" He was stopped when he heared a loud gasp from the pink blur.
"Oh my gosh Ive never seen you before are you a new student, of course you're a new students its so nice to meet you my name is Pinkie pie, I hope you like it here, oh who am I kidding you'll love it here, anyways I have to go, have this cupcake BYE!" The Pink blur said to fast for Arctic to comprehend and when it wooshed away, he was left in a dumbfounded daze holding a chocolate cupcake with pink frosting.
Arctic blink a bit before looking at the cupcake in his hands. "Where did this come from?" He asked and the smell hit his nose, "Man this smells good... might as well" Arctic said and began eating the small treat.
"Wow, Im suprised you weren't scared by pinkie pie" Flash said.
"Pinkie pie?"
"Yeah, she's one of my friends and shes really energetic. Especially when it comes to new students as you clearly saw, but people usually get scared when it happens but you kept your cool" Flash admired.
"Yeah, well, I'm pretty hard to scare" Arctic said but Flash snickered. "What?"
"That ball coming to your face said otherwise" Flash said making arctic roll his eyes.
"Man whatever, I was about to get knocked out by a random ball" He said defensively as they made their way towards the bleachers with the other kids. "Anybody would be scared"
"Sure, Sure"
"Whatever, anyways I might need you to show me to the next class after this" Arctic said still confused about the halls in the schools.
"Sure no problem, but for now I think we should just watch the practice game going on. Judging from how tense everyone is, its just getting good" Flash said making our attention go to the game happening.
The scored is tied with both teams giving everything they have to get the ball into the goal. I noticed that Rainbow dash was running pass everyone on the opposite team kicking the ball under or around their legs, making a break for the goal she lined up her shot and kicked it hard. The ball almost missed the goal if it hadn't hit its side on the bar causing it to spin right and go into the goal.
Everyone on the left side of stands cheered at the fact that their team won. Arctic was actually impressed with the speed Rainbow dash demonstrated, it kinda reminded him of his first time running from the police after throwing water balloons at them. He snickered quietly at the thought, though it didn't go unnoticed.
"Whats up?" Flash asked him with a small pat hitting Arctics shoulder.
"Ah, its nothin really... just remembering the good ol' days is all" Arctic answered leaving Flash in wonder. "It's weird being here actually"
"How so?" Flashed asked again.
"Well... I can't put my finger on it, but, this school seems like it changes people quite fast cause at the beginning I had didn't want friends" Arctic admitted, he had no idea why he was spilling his own can of beans, but he couldn't stop.
"Well now you got one Arctic, I can tell we're gonna have a great friendship" Flash said and for once in his life, Arctic smiled.
