Chapter 4: School Days and Friends

After a few days, Beat had settled down and was starting school that day. Beat had her hat set at an angle that covered my horn, even though some ponies had seen Beat with her horn. Rainbow Dash hadn't figured out who her Mom was, yet, but she was tempted to ask her friends, they seemed to be hiding something. Rainbow Dash was flying to the school house, her sister on her back. Beat didn't know how to fly or do magic, but she didn't really care. Rainbow Dash landed in front of the school house where there were children playing outside, morning recess maybe? Rainbow Dash walked up to the red school house and walked in where a purple earth pony was getting ready for a day of learning. She had a light purple mane with lighter purple highlights. She had green eyes and three pink smiley flowers for a cutiemark. "Hey Cheerilee, I'm just dropping Dark Beat off and hey, if you notice that ponies are criticizing her because she looks different please tell them to stop she's really sensitive about it," Dash told Cheerilee. Cheerilee nodded. "Of course," Cheerilee said. Beat was listening to her music. Rainbow took the headphones from the little filly. "Hey," Dark Beat growled. "In school you can't have music you need to actually listen to the teacher," Rainbow said sternly. "Okay," Dark Beat said, bluntly. "Hand the extra headphones over," Dash said, rolling her eyes. "Aw, but sis-"

"No buts," Rainbow said. Beat groaned and handed the extra pair of headphones over. "Thanks sis, now go and make some friends, I gotta go take a nap, I woke up too soon."

Dark Beat giggled, as her sister ushered her outside and to the playground. "I'll pick ya up after school, kiddo," Dash said as she flew off. "Okay," Dark said. Dark trotted over to the swings where two fillies were swinging. She waited her turn. There was a pink and grey earth pony. The pinks one had a fancy purple mane and tail. A fancy tiara placed atop her head. Her cutiemark was a tiara. She had blue eyes. The grey filly had a braided grey mane and a flowing tail. A blue beaded neck-less and glasses. Light purple eyes and her cutiemark was of a silver spoon. I just stood there watching them swing, waiting for my turn. They glanced at me a couple of times. Then the fillies stopped. I looked hopefully at them. "Who are you? Stumbled in here from the streets?" The pink filly asked with a snort of laughter. "Are you making fun of my style?" I asked. "Of course your style is terrible and those black hooves? Ugh it looks like they were dipped into some fire and burnt. Your hair it absolutely disgusting! Where'd you get it styled at? The burning hair salon?" The pink one asked. The pink and grey one laughed. "I should say the same to you, Where'd you get your coat dyed at? The pig factory? I bet they made you look like a pig so much your parents wanted to eat you for breakfast! And you!" Beat pointed at the grey filly. "What does your cutiemark mean? It's just a silver spoon! Do you take care of babies and feed them? Or will you be poor and make cheap silver spoons for life!?"

The two fillies smirked deviously and started crying. It was fake crying, but it caught the attention of the teacher. Cheerilee came over. "What happened here?" Cheerilee asked, worriedly. "She called me a pig!" The pink filly pointed at Beat and fake cried. "And she made fun of my cutiemark!" The grey one wailed, pointing at Beat. "Dark Beat is this true?" Cheerilee asked the filly. "Yep, but it was totally worth it," Beat said, nonchalantly. "Dark Beat I am very ashamed of you! You have detention and I will be telling your sister, Rainbow Dash, I don't think she'll be too happy," Cheerilee told Beat. Beat just shrugged off her wanting to cry. She looked down at her hooves. "Yeah. I'm sorry," Beat said, not too convincingly. "That doesn't change the fact that you have detention," Cheerilee said. Beat looked down at her hooves. "Class time," Cheerilee called all the students into the school house. Cheerilee introduced Beat and told her to take any empty seat. Dark took a seat between Applebloom and a white unicorn with a curly light pink and purple mane and tail. She had green eyes and no cutiemark. Dark Beat put her head on her desk. "I heard you telling Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon off," a squeaky voice said in my ear. Beat looked over to the voice and saw the white unicorn. "Yeah I got a detention for it, even though they started it. I just wanted to swing," Beat said, tears swelling in her eyes, but she wouldn't cry. "That sounds terrible, I'm Sweetie Belle by the way," the white unicorn said. "I'm Dark Beat my sister forced me to come here, though my Mom would have too," Beat said, sadly. "Sweetie Belle, Dark Beat no talking in class. Detention for you Sweetie Belle and Dark already has one, I'll inform your sisters," Cheerilee said (A/N: Wow Cheerilee, just the way to bring joy to your students, I like it! But really quit it.). Sweetie Belle groaned and Beat just held her tears in. "My sister's gonna be soo mad at me," Dark whispered. "My sister will probably ground me," Sweetie mumbled before falling silent. They learned about cutiemarks and stuff, Dark didn't really pay attention. When everypony went home, only Sweetie Belle and Dark Beat were left. Cheerilee made them write words a hundred time. Beat had to write, 'I will never bully again.' And Sweetie Belle had to write, 'I'll never talk while the teacher is talking.' After a while Cheerilee went outside for something. "How bored are you?" I asked Sweetie, not taking an eye off my paper. "One out of ten? I'd say one hundred," Sweetie said. "Me too," Beat said. "You said you're sister would ground you?"

Sweetie nodded. "What would your sister do?"

"I don't really know, since I broke two school rules she might be really angry with me, but knowing Rainbow Dash she'll probably tell me off and send me to my room for her to cool off," Beat said. "Your sister is Rainbow Dash?" Sweetie asked. Dark nodded. "You don't look like her though," Sweetie said, skeptically. "Well yes, that's what happens when you mix white and black and our Dad's dark hair made her hair darker than our Mother's hair, her eyes the same," Beat explained. Cheerilee came back in. "Girls, you're sisters are here to pick you up," Cheerilee said, sweetly. "Put your papers on my desk, please."

Sweetie and Dark got up and put their papers on Cheerilee's desk. They said bye to Cheerilee and walked outside to see two not too happy ponies known as Rarity and Rainbow Dash. "Mother please help me," Beat squeaked. "Beat you can't've seriously bullied on your first day of school and talk during class!" Dash said. "I can't believe you bullied at all! Our Mom should've taught you not to bully . . . "

Dash kept rambling on. "Told you she'd chew me out," Beat whispered to Sweetie Belle. Beat walked up to her sister. "Those two fillies said that my hooves looked like they were burnt and that I came off of the streets," Beat whined. "And I'm sorry but that doesn't mean you call Diamond Tiara a pig and tease Silver Spoon of her cutiemark!" Dash said, angrily. Dark started to chuckle. "It's sorta funny when ya . . . You don't thing it's funny do you?" Beat asked her sister. Rainbow shook her head a serious expression on her face. Beat looked at her hooves. "And I'm going to go to my room when we get home so you can blow a fuse?" Beat asked. Dash started nodding, but then she stopped. "Hey I don't freak out! You don't know if I do!" Dash said. "Well judging by your whole playful expression and how you can get angry easily, you blow a fuse a lot," Beat said, smiling smugly. "Don't be such a smart mouth, Beat," Dash said. "And no music for a week."

"What? I'll die before the first day! I need my music!" Beat said. "Can't you just sing? You turn your headphones on full blast! You'll grow deaf if you keep on listening to your headphones on their fullest," Dash said. "It sounds better when their all the way up, ask Vinyl she'll agree," Beat said. "Let's go home, get on my back," Dash said. Beat hopped onto her sister's back and they flew home. They landed on their cloudy lawn. "Go to your room," Dash sighed. Beat hung her head while she walked to her room. Once she shut the door, Beat heard crashing sounds downstairs. What would that be? Rainbow Dash blowing a fuse.

The next few days were a total bust, for Dark Beat at least. She didn't have any music and it was killing her. Beat went to school no pony paying attention to her, not even Sweetie Belle. At recess she walked up to Sweetie Belle and Applebloom and an orange pegasus. She had a dark purple mane and tail, messy. Her eyes were light purple and she didn't have a cutiemark. "Hey Sweetie, Applebloom what's going on? You guys haven't been near me since my first day of school," Beat said. "Oh uh, well we felt something was off 'bout you, so uh we asked our sisters and Rarity told us that your Mom was Celestia and your Dad was Chrysalis," Applebloom explained. "Shh!" Dark said. "My sister can't know, my Mom wants to tell her herself!"

"Yeah, but why are ya'll wearing that hat over yer horn?" Applebloom asked, pointing at it. "Rainbow wants me to keep it a secret, because then ponies would start thinking we aren't sisters," Beat said. "Your already so different," the orange Pegasus said. Beat glared at her. Beat explained how color mixing worked and what effects it had on Rainbow. They all 'ohed' and I nodded. "Well we need to plan for our crusade tonight!" The orange Pegasus said. "Crusade? For what?" Beat asked. "To find our cutiemarks! We're devoted to it, right Scootaloo?" Sweetie asked the orange Pegasus. Scootaloo nodded. "I don't have my cutiemark," Beat said opening her wings so they could see. "YOU DON'T?!" They asked in unison. "Will you join the cutiemark crusaders?" Applebloom asked. "Um sure . . . ," Beat shrugged. Beat knew she had good friends now and she may not like school, but with her fellow crusaders anything is possible.
