Description:

What if My Little Pony, was only an idea? A dream? A story told differently based on reality? Note: This is a humanized story. Not HiE, and not EqG.

Note from the Author: After writing this chapter, I didn't publish it yet so I was thinking, and I suddenly thought of something. I'm gonna mention that this is highschool, freshman year for the group, making them 15-16 years old. So that would mean all the fillies from the show (Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, etc.) about the age of 8. Big Mac, I'd expect to have graduated already, since I believe he's a few years older.

The day started off worse than ever. It rained, so Rainbow Dash, captain of Track and Field, couldn't do her morning run. Rarity's make-up started to run. Pinkie Pie's hair when flat, and ruined her decorations. Fluttershy got caught tending to the animals and got soaked. Twilight was on her way to school while reading, the book getting wet as well. Applejack was helping out outside, but then again, nothing new to a hardworking farm girl to get caught in the rain while working.

That only left the boy known as Rian, even though his real name was kept a secret, not many people cared. This boy, had dirty blonde, almost brown hair, normally wearing a gray Zoo York T-shirt, and Vans pants. He would alternate from wearing a gray jacket, to a long sleeve olive-green Vans shirt underneath. His shoes, also gray, being Vans as well. His only accessory, being a Fallen Spade ring on his left hand.

During lunch, is when something actually happened. The group of friends were talking, when they noticed Rian. "Who's that?" asked Rainbow.

"Haven't you heard Darling?" responded Rarity, "That's a new transfer student."

"Why'd he transfer in the middle of the school year?"

Fluttershy answered with, "I heard he got expelled from his last school because of a fight."

"A fight huh?" thought Rainbow out loud, "There's no possible way he'd win in a fight against me."

"There ya go again," said Applejack, "boasting about how good ya think you are."

"I know I'm good."

Applejack put her arm on the lunch table, waiting for Rainbow. "Prove it." Rainbow smirked and put her arm with Applejack's, wrestling by the arm.

Twilight sighed, "This isn't going to solve anything, besides, what makes you think he won the fight?"

"He got expelled," replied Rainbow, focused on Applejack, "he would have stayed if he wasn't the one who started the fight."

"Well sitting here talking behind his back won't help anything, I'm gonna go invite him over."

As Twilight began to stand, Rainbow lost focus, her arm hitting the table, "See, your not as strong as ya think," said Applejack.

"You can't do that," Rainbow said, ignoring Applejack. She stood up as well, "If you do, then nobody would talk to us either."

"Remember when I transferred in? The five of you were so nice to me, I instantly felt welcomed. I just wanna do the same to him."

Twilight started walking over to the corner Rian was standing in. He had a deck of cards, still in the box, in his hands. Doing some flashy moves he's been practicing with for a while.

"Hey," said Twilight, stepping up to him.

He glanced up, "Hi," his voice sounding a little depressed. Looking back down, he finished a small move and put the deck in his pocket.

"My name's Twilight, I heard you just transferred in."

"Rian, and yeah, I did."

"Do you mind if I ask why you transferred?"

"I was on the wrong end of a joke, and not knowing it was a joke, something... kinda happened to the other person."

"Well my friends and I are eating at the table right over," she pointed to her table, "and I'd appreciate it if you came over and sat with us."

He looked at the table, five other girls. Then again, nothing new to him. He had a small group in middle school of him and three girls. Rian shrugged, Twilight started walking over to the table, and he followed.

Rian sat down next to her, as she said, "This is Rian, he was expelled because he was on the wrong end of a joke."

Rian did a small wave. Rainbow said, "So you didn't fight somebody?"

Twilight glared at her, Rian only replied, "I wouldn't say fight was the right word."

"Then what would be the right word-"

"I don't think we should be talking about this right now," Twilight said, butting in.

The conversation between the group continued, excluding Rian. He took out the deck of cards once more, but this time took the cards out. Doing a lot of cool looking card flourishes.

It took a minute for one of them to realize, but then they all did. Rian realized the stop of their talking and looked at them, "What?"

"What was that you were doing?" asked Rarity.

"Yeah, that looked cool," added Rainbow.

"It's just Cardistry," Rian replied.

"What-istry?" asked Pinkie.

"Cardistry," repeated Rian.

"What's that?" asked Applejack.

"It's nothing serious, just using a deck of cards to make a form of art." He did a very impressive card flourish called Titan, which shows many packets of cards spread in a big way. It looked like he almost dropped the cards while closing the deck, "I'm still practicing on that one."

"That's awesome," exclaimed Rainbow, "can you do any more?"

"I got something small I can do," he took a random card and placed it on the table, showing everybody the card first. "I'll place the 9 of Diamonds on the table, then take the.." he flipped over the top card, "Jack of Clubs." He showed the Jack to everybody, gave it a small flick, it instantly changed to the 9. Then, as slowly as he could, flipped over the card on the table, it being the Jack.

"Do another one! Do another one!" screamed Pinkie.

The bell that ended lunch rang, Rian put his cards away and walked to class.
