Let's see what happens when we put 14 year-old versions of the Mane Six and six friends together, shall we? (Personalities were tweaked, not changed.)
SkyScraper Intermedate. A school were everybody fits in. Jocks, Whores, Nerds, Emos, Fanboys, those kids who wont shut up about one game, all year round, and the social outcasts. The end of the 8th grade finally has come, Formal Dance apporaching, not to mention spring break. Could Things really get better? Or is everything going to suck? Find out in this eventful tale of romance! Or whatever it is... Made by Myself and MrDoctorPinkie Edited by Me
"Garrett...Garrett!" a nearly inaudible voice called. It was muffled and rather hard to interpret. "Garrett!" It called once more. This time, it was clear, causing the boy to spring up in fear. "What! Where am I? What round is it?" Garrett rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. Once his vision was clear, he looked around, seeing he was still at school. He had fallen asleep.
"So, did I miss anything?" Garrett yawned, looking around the room to see three of his friends. Their names were Luke, Conor, and Colton.
"No, not really. Miss Cheer went into a story about the 1960's and her high school years. All that junk," Luke said, twirling a pencil in one hand. Garrett sat up in his seat, directing his attention to the teacher.
"Is she finally finished?" Colton said, leaning over Conor's desk.
"No, but it's gotten interesting. She said there was a huge chick fight one day."
He was interrupted by Luke. "Those are always fun, unless it revolves around a guy. Then things get ugly, and a helluva lot more interesting." Luke chuckled, returning to his seat as Colton rolled his eyes.
"How childish. Tell me again why do I bother with you people." Seeing as that was a rhetorical question, nobody answered.
Afterwards, more talking ensued. Corny puns and cheap references were made.
Maybe about 10 minutes later, she had finished. "Well, enough about me," said Miss Cheer. The whole class let out a sigh in joy.
"Very funny. But I have an announcement to make. There will be some new kids in the class!" Some kids perked up at this; the classic school bullies were always interested in new students.
Just then, six girls walked into the room. Each of them had oddly colored hair (save one, who was blonde). There were whispers through the class as Miss Cheer said, "girls, why don't you introduce yourselves, then take a seat?"
One of the girls stepped forward. She had shiny purple hair; an expensive looking hairstyle,a snow white dress,and a tint to make it kind of glow. The girl explained that her name was Rarity. People looked confused, but no-one said anything. She explained how her parents just moved into town, and owned the new fashion franchise every girl was clambering about.
Another of the girls stepped forward. Her name was Applejack, or AJ for short. People looked oddly at each other, but damned if they cared. It's not like they'd become friends. AJ looked like the the complete opposite of Rarity in every single way.She had freckles, long blond hair in a ponytail, and good grass stains on her knees, and tall leather boots with places for spokes on the back. She didn't look happy at the time she was talking, which usually led to that expression on her face which said "I don't really care"
The third girl stepped up looked unusually perky, like a living ball of energy. She had pure pink hair. This girl explained her name was Pinkie and how her parents were out of town, and living with her family friends is tons of fun. Pinkie talked fast, and immediately stepped aside, probably eager to meet new friends.
The fourth girl to appear was wearing a purple and black sweater vest, and Rayband glasses. Her hair was purple, with a darker purple and magenta streak going right through her hair. Her name was Twilight. Twilight explained how she was a such a fan of stuff like dragons, magic, and Anthropology. Some people assumed she was a geek from the start, and tuned out. That, or they tuned out a while ago.
Next of the girls took sometime to notice it was her turn. Her hair was all sorts of colors, blue, red, purple. This unique girls name was Rainbow Dash. People actually laughed at this. The ones that laughed were generally dicks, and Garrett gave one a sharp kick under the table. She wore nothing more than a cyan tracksuit with her favorite track team on the back. This girl gave no information on anything. No family info. No social life info. Nothing.
Nearing the end of the period, they asked the 6th girl to introduce her self. She didn't seem so willing. In fact, she stood behind Rainbow. All that could be seen was light pink hair, with a yellow turtle neck, and pink jeans. She simply smiled a bit, a returned to her seat as the bell rung.
"Okay class, just remember, no homework for spring break coming up!" Miss Cheer said, neatly arranging some graded papers as the class of eager students poured out of the class rooms, heading to their lockers so they could rush to the buses as fast as they could sprint. Sometimes first graders cried, complained, or were even injured; But it was worth it. Lockers were only available for the upper grades; 6, 7 and 8. SkyScraper was grades 1-8th
Garrett rushed to his locker, kicked it in a certain place, and it swung open. He pulled out a snapback hat, a trickboard, and a thick pair of sunglasses. Luke, Conor and Colton were by their lockers, waiting for the digital clock to strike 1:30.
"Take a look at the new girls?" Luke said, chuckling, resetting the combination on his locker. "If I should, I think her name was Rarity. Quite an ensemble, no?" Colton said as he closed his locker, fixing his shirt vest. "I"m going to pretend I know what that means, and Luke, that sounds perverted" Said Conor. "Exactly." Luke replied. Conor sighed and started walking with Colton and Luke as Garrett did a grind down the stair rail, teachers running after him.
Luke saw the girl, Rainbow Dash, looking at him impressively. She was also wearing a Deadmau5 shirt, Garrett's favorite artist. "Those two would be perfect together," Commented Luke. Colton and Conor nodded in agreement. Then, Rarity walked by, followed by a trail of "You're Hot" Whistles. As she passed Colton bowed, held out his hand and said "May I offer to walk you to your bus, Madame?" She smiled and took his hand a Colton led her off to the bus ramp. "Did he just...?" "Yeah. He just scored a girl."
The bus ride was a drag. Everyone was cursing, and the seventh graders were teaching the sixth graders EVERY sexual lingo there is. "Alex! Are you gay?" That was Vinny. Nobody liked him. "What does that mean?" Alex was in eight grade like them, but he was half everyone's size. "It means you're super smart and talented!" "Then I'm SO gay!" Luke sighed and raised the volume on his headphones as Garrett masterfully threw a paper air plane straight at Vinny's forehead. The bus came to a screeching halt as it pulled up to Luke, Garrett, and suprisingly Pinkie and Dash's stop. Garrett remembered something about there being vacant apartments near theirs. They rushed into the building before the crowds went away.
The next day snuck up. It was the first and official day of everyone's favorite break, Spring break. Luke, Garrett and Conor planned to meet up with 2 other of their friends, David and Logan. In the local park. David and Logan were in sperate cycles as the others. Logan was from Tennessee. He lived with Two sisters and parents who were never seen. He had that accent with those annoying slogans such as "Happier than a pig at a vegan parade!"
David was more into tech. Insted of going towards a compony with foreign cusotmer supports, pepole would as him. David was tall, and more on the burly side. Anyways, the main spot to meet up was ushally central park on a nice sunny day, such as this! Cheche isnt it,
As Garrett rolled up on his penny-board, he saw Luke, Conor, David and Colton. Luke was chucking rocks at the birds, screaming "WHAT ARE YOU, A MAN OR A MOUSE?!" In a drill Sargent tone as if anyone would stop to tell him otherwise. Conor was climbing a tree, explaining why nature is our "Friend" and damn did it get annoying, David was using a telescope on a tripod to see birds. Great way to spend a vacation. Garret simply laughed as he hopped of the penny-board an put it aside by the metal fence.
"Aaaaand im here!" Garret said with a conceited tone in his voice, snooping on the book Colton was reading. The font was so fancy, He didn't even bother. "Wonderful. Simply needs to be published..." Colton replied mockingly "While I have your, substandard attention, please tell Sgt. Dipshit to shut his mouth" Hearing this, Garrett turned around and instantly said "Colton says shut up" "Oh, Ohkey" Luke said with a derp expression. "Where is Logan? I need to tell him about those girls that Colton wont shut up about!" "I'm only doing what mother nature intended me to do-" He was cut off by Luke "Well tell Mother Nature Fuck you, and kick her in the face! Haha!" David responded with a brief answer. "That made little to no sense what so ever," Returning to his telescope, David responded with a question. "You never told me about any new girls, not that I'd be eager to ask" Garrett smirked, "6 Girls, Odd names, Hair styles, and they're not the worst flower in the basket" He nudged Colton, who simply rolled his eyes. Only once would he ever bring that up again. "I simply said her ensemble looks simply divine!" "Yeah, but its where you were looking's what I'm saying..." Luke gave up. Colton was like a brick, you always wanna hit something with it. "WHAT?! How dare you frame me with such- such immaturity! A DRESS! Not body figure!" Colton was outraged. Whenever some one dared say ANY little thing on a girl he noticed, or a model, he FLIPPED. Though I was admiring her clothing, she was quite noticeable. Colton said to himself. "Anywho, did said girl have purple flowing hair, like in movies?" David asked, pointing towards a figure in the distance. "Lemme see.." Garret said, shoving David aside to use his telescope. "Yeah, it's her alright! Oh, and she's got her friends! He dismounted from the stand. 'In the path their going in, there coming this way..." He said like it like there it was no problem. "Ermahgerd! Now we can mope around while their here! Goodie!" Luke said with a strong tone of sarcasm. "Calm down shell-for-brain, Its not like you haven't been around them before!" Said David. "But you actually haven't. The one with the purple hair with a magenta stripe is such a nerd. You two would be perfect together." He muttered something else as the school bullies walked toward them, mainly targeting Luke for this time. "Hey, weirdo!" The bully's name was Jerry. he pushed Luke to the ground. "H-hey!" Stuttered Luke. Garrett stepped forward to confront them. "So asswipe? Feelin' lucky?" He asked Garrett. "Hmmmm.... Not particularly... You?" Garrett sarcastically said.
This angered him, and he took a swipe at Garrett's head. He ducked, anticipating the blow,which threw Jerry off balance. Garrett saw his chance and took it, kicking him in the back of the leg, bringing him down. A member of his posse charged him, immediately getting clotheslined. The third and fourth members charged at him. Garrett narrowly dodged the third's punch, but wasn't ready for the fourth. His head whipped back, and blood started leaking from the corner of his lip. He wiped it away with a cocky smile. "I love a challenge." He said. Jerry started getting back up, only to be fallen on by the third member of his posse. The fourth didn't go down that easy, and landed a combo of a puch to the stomach and a knee to the head. "You're fuckin'[ DEAD! YOU HEAR ME YOU SUNNOVA BITCH?! DEAD! Garrett ran after him as he began to run, only to be stopped by none other than Logan, with a square punch to the jaw. Garrett greeted him with a nice job.
When they traversed the plane of the park path, the girls were there, staring at the half unconscious boys laying on the ground bleeding. Three words were said. "That. Was. AWESOME!"
The whole group looked over. The fight was like a television sitcom about karate.
Garrett walked over towards the girls, directly stepping on the limping boys.
"Awesome? The reaction I usually get is a slap in the face.." Garrett said, scratching the back of his neck. When Jerry got up, he slowly walked into the forest.
"Yes awesome!" Said Dash as grin appeared on her face.
"You were like Pow! Boom! Kabam!" Acting as a kid who just came out from a Batman movie, Garrett chuckled.
"Its a cute intimation, I'll give you that!" Garret said with a teasing tone as he walked towards his friends. "You're the new girls right?"
Dash gave a sly grin. "Cute? I don't do cute..", As she caught up, she looked back, Her other friends who weren't in too much of a hurry to catch up.
"Really? You'd pull it off well!" Laughing again as he returned to his friends.
"Dear! You mustn't run off like that!" Said a clear voice, It was Rarity, along with her friends. What a time and place, No? "Heels aren't nature's running equipment, you know. Then again-Why run?"
"Excuse my freinds. They're all different..." She sighed and her head poked over his shoulder too see his friends. Colton immediately engaged with Rarity. Their talking was not understandable. Luke popped out of nowhere, and started to converse with the pink curly haired girl.This is the first attractive girl that I'm taller than. Wow. Luke thought.
"Hey, what's your name?! Mine's Pinkie!" She said, excited as ever.
"Mah....Uh, Mah names Luke! Hey, your the new girl in my class.." He said, pretending to be unsure. They had a mini staring contest as she laughed, little tiny snorts in between. Luke broke out in laughter as well, and they fell laughing. Colton and Rarity stood speechless.
"You own one too?" Said Garrett, poking Luke with his foot.
"Yup..." She replied, changing the group's attention. "Enough of whatever we were talking about. What were those boys doing?"
"That was Jerry and his "Posse' of what we call, SwagFags.." Replied David as he fixed the telescope angle. "Typical roid rage of acting like a total ass to everyone who doesn't put 20 bottles of cologne on a day,"
"And its all basically Axe" Finished Garrett. "Seems if though it suits all their little needs."
As the group conversed a bit, Twilight eventually spoke up, not directing her attention anywhere specific. "Oh! I don't believe I introduced myself, or any of my friends here!" She fixed her glasses, sounding as sure as anyone could be. "My name is Twilight Sparkle!" She swung her hand out to introduce her friends. She went exactly in order, introducing them. Once her procedure was over, she toned down, and sat on the nearest rock.
Garrett, Luke, Dash and David were talking in their own small group. Colton, who appeared with Rarity beside him, brought up an old question. "Is the preparations for Computercon still occurring?"
David bit his lower lip, and leaned in to whisper into Colton's ear. "Now isn't the best time to talk about that.."
His voice was soft, but yet understandable. Rarity must of overheard them, and spoke up. "Preparations? For what dear? You didn't say anything about a little get together.."
Colton nodded. "Yes, indeed we do. Every few full moons or so, the locals and not so locals put up a little costume play!"
"You mean cosplay?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah. That's a fancy way of saying it." Said Luke. "It's not like those creepy things where 40 year old men dress up as wizards and warlocks.
"Except there's nothing wrong with those guys, I mean hey, we're all human right?" Interrupted Conor. Luke gave him an annoyed look, but decided to let it go.
"So, This 'Cosplay' is for a event or..?" Rainbow's voice faded into question, with a lack of attention being payed to their conversation.
"Precisely." Remarked Rarity. "I may not know for the dear life of me what or how to cosplay, but the costume idea will surely give me such wonderful experience!" Looking around with smile, and nodded to Colton. Their relationship seemed slightly stronger than the last time they talked.
"Like a costume party?! Man, oh man! I love those! The funny costumes, the exotic punch!" Said Pinkie, who was walking around in repetitive circles.
"Um, No..." There was a silent pause. Flutter, who didn't speak much, decided to speak up. "I-I Think he meant like a convention, or a different social gathering.."
There was a brief silent pause. The sun was shinning harshly down that day, not a single cloud in the sky. Their group exchanged looks, unsure of who would say something. Despite the awkwardness and the distant chanting of a baseball game going on, David spoke up. "Look, whether you hate us, or get all disgusted because we cosplay, fine, I'm totally up with that."
Pulling David aside, Luke smacked him across the face. "Girls plus cosplay equals good!"
David replied with a sigh. "Listen, life doesn't just hand you lemons on a silver tray, you gotta make your own lemonade by hand."
"Silver tray? If 'Life' gives you lemons, they're probably poisoned! 'Life' could be a 40 year old virgin who is out to get you!" Leaving a pointed finger in his face, Luke nodded in smirked, and walked away.
David mumbled, returning to the group. They weren't talking too much on the subject, but He brought it alive again by speaking up. "Computercon Is the convention where we will be cosplaying. Its more of eh, Gathering of our type."
Taking out a unused notepad, Twilight began to speak. "But what you cosplaying about? A re- enactment?"
Garrett spoke with a little sense of pride. "A little game, formally known as Team Fortress 2. Sounds Nerdy, but hell, better than warlocks..."
Dash immedaitly turned around, one of her eyebrows perked up. "Woah, backup, love that game! I Wouldnt exactly consider it nerdy, but some other games I, myself find nerdy like random ones like Roblox."
"Actually, Roblox isnt a bad game, its just for a specifed age. Not for us, such as Role play sosocties and certain MMO's." Conor remarked. "But for all its worth, I agree."
"No, Roblox is a retarded game made for small children to spaz out over and get their parents to buy $100 worth of shit." Retured Garrett. "Not to mention the older kids who upses over it."
Colton interupted. "Well, If you two are done bickering or whatever is may seem, I have some costumes to sew; and havent got the world to stay" Chuckling, He took out a miniture lint roller, and rolled of the pollen and other dust like things form his vest.
"Now, Whats this convention you've been mentioning so nonchalantly?" Twilight said once again, hoping to get an awsner.
"Computercon." Conor said dwiddling a penicl in his hand.
"Computercon...?" Said Pinkie, looking around the park for no intended reason. Her attention on the nearby hotdog seller.
"Yup! Computercon basicly is your avarage convention. A little Sci-fi fantasy, A little movie and animation and specail effect. and those stands where pointles merchandise is sold!" Luke said, with a oddly cheerful additude.
"Sounds entertaining. But why do other pepole frown upon this convention, or any sort of gamming convention?" Remarked Dash
Garrett fixed his hat, and zippering up the hoodie he was wearing. "The syterotype for it is fat lazy pepole who live with their mom. I honestly don't see why it's such a big deal. Admission is also free! Haha!"
Their was a brief pause as Conor anoucned something. "Lifes too short to do anything you dont want! Wana do sports, do sports!" Some nodded. Luke did his impresson of the "Not Bad" meme.
"Well, Down to the point. We need every ones O.K to go, otherwise this will be a drag." Colton walked down towards the rock where Luke was throwing rocks into the pond, "Annually, this convention is held at Rockerfeller Plaza, aorund the 64th to be exact, and.." Colton was inturepted.
"64th as in the adress, right?" Said Pinkie. "Because I was thinking, well, the Sixty-Fourth? Thats Silly! I mean I love the number 64 but thats not a date!" After that, she smiled. "What was i thinking?!"
"Yes! By the ice rink and the cafe!" Luke said . "Where the huge Christmas tree usually is."
"Ahuh.... I see, And Colton says he desings the costumes? Not participating?" Twilight Replied, sharpening her pencil with a hand held sharpener.
"Indeed. Rough play, not my thing." The boy twiddled his thumbs. " And Uh, I was sorta hoping.." Colton paused, witch was odd, sicne he wasnt one to get "Butterflies in yur turmmeh" as Luke would say. "Rarity darling, would you like to-" He was cut off.
"Darling? Jeez Colt, you've just met..." Mumbled Garrett a little loudly. Dash chuckled and Pinkied giggled. Colton blushed a bit as Luke yelled out "OOOOOOH!"
"Well, I was going to say, Work on the costume with me, but it seems as so Garrett had somthing else in mind. You little Twish..." Colton said, mubling into the last part.
"Why, I'd Love to! Shall we meet at my boutge? Wait, Give me time to get ready! Perhaps say, Noon-ish, No, One?" Replied Rarity with a soft tone of voice and hesitation.
As the two nodded to eachother with agreement, Time passed on as Logan, who was barley ever noticed, walked up from the forest path. "Well, If Y'all are done, Im still alive too..." He said.
That was Logan, who was from the south. Sun, work and sleep was his motto. Education was the least of his major worries, though he never showed up in school often, missing a lot of detail. Garrett told him about the girls. Logan said runnig the family buisness was never easy. Work after Dawn and untill dusk. "Well, What are yall talking about?" He always talked like that, though it was never as anoying as Luke's french immitation or how Colton could actually speak french "And Ah did happen to go for a walk after takin' out that "Sun uva Bitch." His tone of voice could easlily be told he was mocking Garrett.
"Oh no, your worthless to us." Luke randomly said, putting a hand on his shoulder as if somthing bad happened.
"Real Helpful skinny jeans. Dun anyone ever tell ya that your Tighter than bark on a tree?" Logan replied with a deep smirk.
"No, I was never called tight. Unless it was used in the phrase 'Dawg, Dat Shits So Tight!" But other wise, No." Said Luke with no idea that it wasnt litteral.
"What He means is yer not generous," Said a voice who was following behind him. As she came into clear vision, It was Apple Jack. They must of gone for a walk. God knows how long they were taking.
"Enough! God, I can barley hear my self think!" Yelled David, clearing his throught after a pitchful yell.
Colton coughed, completley ruining the moment as a slight breeze blew throughout the park. Day was slowly turing into night. Other citizens were leaving the park, along with a lady walking sevral dogs. The pond was no longer full of anoying geese or ducks, or even screaming children. It was Quiet.
"Well, Ah'd best be going now...Got plentey of work in the morn' " Said Logan, Leaving the perimeter without another single word.
"I gotta go as well, Ahm so sorry girls! Se y'all!" Said AJ, Running in the complete opposite direction.
Colton clapped his hands. "Well, Lets get down to buessneiuss. This conventions in 9 days right?"
Rarity spoke up. "Im going to help Colton with the designs for the costumes, and all you guys must do is figure out who's who!"
"9 Days? Rarity, is that enough time?" Said Twilight, once agaim taking out her notepad.
"Anything is possible with a little generosity, and a little labor wont hurt as well, No?" She replied with confidence.
Flipping the notepad's cover, and with the click of a pen, Twilight spoke up with her usual 'In Command Voice.' "Are we all aware of the avalible classes to play as? Considering Colton and Rarity could make almost anything-Clothing wise that is,"
As the small group stood in a line, Garrett and Dash debating on wether who's who and what should be right. Twilight called the classes out in the specifed order; Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demo(man), Heavy, Engeneir, Medic, Sniper and Spy. All of the Girls and Guys raised their hands for each one. Some chose based on charecter traits, others chose, well, because they sound funny. After a brief sketch or two, Twilight showed David her Notepad, He ignored all her little doodles and such, Some stuff were scribbled out, But it read
"Computer-Con List" Ps. This will be Fun!
Scout - Garret (Dashie has some competion she can live up to...) Soldier - Luke ( Oh lord, another pinkie?! Ha!) Pyro - Pinkie (Seriously? Cliche...)
Demoman Woman - Dashie Heavy - David ( Sorta Cute...) Engineer - AppleJack (Not Present)-(Who was the other guy? They'd Look cute together...)
Medic - Flutters, (Who I havent heard from...) Sniper - ME~ <3 Spy - Conor (Or him.. I should really get to know these guys more. Duh...)
Pretending that the scribble marks made the text tottaly illegable, David smiled and Nodded. "This Will be fun!" Looking at his watch, He sighed. "Gotta get home, Dinner soon... Hey, We should hang out more, No?"
Twilgiht smiled and nodded rapidly. "Yeah- I mean sure, Im up for it..."
As David said his Goodbyes and such, Dash spoke up. "Well, I gotta get some rest to. Ill walk with Flutter, Nights!" As Flutter apeared from the unknown, She smiled and waved without a single word. Colton and Rarity were half way into leaivng them selfs as Pinkie spoke.
"Man! Am I Beat! Well, I'll just walk with Twilight! Lets go!" The two girls waved goodbye, One giggling while their voices were to faded to hear. Sunset has struck. It was about 7PM, Although time does fly when your having fun.
Garrett looked around, the only ones left was Luke. Conor had must of left. Everyone else was gone. He looked the other way and saw David, where his bike was chained to one of those things. He was gone as well.
"Fun Night, went by pretty fast...." Said Garrett, Picking up the nearby skateboard which was left there for some time.
"Defenitly. Nice girls, But there all so differnt..." Replied Luke as they started to walk silently for a while. They walked, and walked throught the park. Not much was said.
"Yeah, Oddly enough, I can only relate to one. Its like us, Colton always questions our freindship, but does he really mean it? No," Responded Garrett.
"Well, of course. I find it a little akward, you know?" Luke replied as they aporched the south side of the park, where Luke would leave.Walking out with a wave, He turned and said a final sentace before leaving.
"Well, Freindship is magic...." He Said, Walking out into the streets of the city. "Take care!"
Garrett Nodded, Giving him the 'Flick of the hat' good bye. They where all gone, but some how he diddnt feel alone. Despite this, Garrett threw down his pennyboard, and hopped on as he left Central Park.
It was Spring Break. He wasn't going anywhere, and nor were they. It all seemed to fall into one place, so convenient there just had to be a catch. Flipping open his phone, He schedualed a date as he contiuned to skate; April 19th, 2015, Computer con. Six Days is all he had to wait.
Garrett looked into the sky to see the sun set, and his house in sight after skating and thinking. Rushing up the drive way and up towards the door, he unlocked it with a spare key, and entered his house, throwing down his possenions and relaxing on the couch, grabbing his laptop. This was going to be a great week, for all of them. He could tell.
