Sunset Shimmer had seen many strange things in her life so far, especially in Canterlot High, but at the moment of closing her locker and looking down the hall. She found another contender for odd sights in the school year. A tall man with a lean yet above average muscle build, a well structured face with a calm cheery smile, and a bizarre hairdo was walking down the hall with a bookbag slung over his shoulder. A rather weird pompadour that stuck out almost crudely. Then she noticed what he was wearing and found herself torn between laughter and amazement. It was as if Rarity had dressed him herself. He wore a midnight black stiff collared jacket that ended before his abdomen, the back of it had a gold star with a ring around the edges. On the ring were eight strange symbols, a face with tiny fangs, a jewel pendant, a rectangular palm, a peace sign, a lady bug, a small dagger pointed to the ground with butterfly wings on the side, a horseshoe, and an anchor. On the ring itself were numerous stars. A T-shirt with a psychedelic flower pattern of a variety of bright colors. Two golden pins on each shoulder, the left being a heart, and a peace sign on the right. A multitude of rainbows going over and under, coiling and flying all over the flowers and stems, all of them swirling to his chest where a violet star with a gold glittering trim on his chest. He wore a three golden chains around neck, two with a golden diamond shaped emblem and one shiny platinum heart emblem, and two cloth bracelets with tessellated triangles on the left wrist. He wore tan slacks with golden studs on the sides, colorful flower petals surrounding each stud as those petals also had their own petals. Laceless black leather shoes with black socks. All in all a vibrant but tough looking guy. Everyone in the hallway were having similar feelings upon seeing the new kid. Some of the students were giggling and snickering at his hair, others were wondering if he was a new student or faculty member. He approached Sunset Shimmer rubbing his neck with a nervous chuckle. He started to speak in a weird language but stopped himself shortly before speaking through a thick accent.

"Sorry to bother you, can you help me, please?"

"Sure. What do you need?"

"I am the new kid. Looking for my classroom, I can't exactly find it."

"Oh that's not a problem, you've got your schedule, right?"

He nodded and handed over his schedule, folded up and carrying a bit of lint from his pocket. As she looked it over she saw they had three classes together. Literature and Physics.

"Hey, we've got two classes and Homeroom with each other! I'm Sunset Shimmer, what's your name?"

"Josuke Joestar. You can call me JoJo!"

"Alright JoJo, this way."

She gave him a quick tour around the school as she lead him through the halls. Passing by classroom after classroom, she taught him how to tell each hall apart by their number.

"Say, you've been quiet for sometime. Why don't you tell me about yourself?"

"Where do I start?"

"Well how about where you're from?"

"Umapan, it's overseas. We came over here for some more quiet life style."

"I'm not so sure you'll find that here. Things can get a little-"

A small but loud bang from a classroom in front of them. Two students ran out coughing and laughing covered in a strange smell and some smoke.

"Explosive. But I promise you'll like it here. JoJo?"

Sunset Shimmer turned around and saw him up against the lockers, denting them as he pushed himself back. He was sweating slightly and slowly hyperventilating, true terror were in his eyes. She reached out to him and shook his shoulder slightly, finally snapping him out of his panic.

"J-JoJo?! Are you okay, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing! Just a phobia of sudden noises. Sumimasen, sorry."

"Oh man that's real rough. How do you deal with it?"

"Don't worry about it, I only get like that if I don't see it coming. Oh no, I broke something again."

"These lockers aren't exactly the sturdiest but, you did do a number on a few of them."

"I'll fix it in no time."

"Huh-"

He raised his free hand as it soon blurred, the damaged part of the lockers looking brand new in an instant.

"There. Great condition, yeah?"

"How'd you do that!?"

"I don't know. I can just fix things and break things, never gave it any real thought."

JoJo shrugged, not noticing or caring at the new odd looks on the students faces in the hallways. Sunset Shimmer didn't know what to make of that herself and proceeded with the tour, and trying to find more about him.

"So, how about you? Any hobbies or likes? I know you're afraid of loud sudden noises."

"Heh, uhm, I guess I like helping people and fixing things. Definitely love me some video games but, that's a common thing."

"You sound like you're making yourself out to be pretty simple."

"I am, not really all that interesting, sorry."

"Don't be sorry, that's not a problem anyways. But, how long have you been fixing things like that?"

"Oh man, since I was six! I got it with this super slick smokin' stylish haircut! Great ain't it?"

He turned with a strange pose, he wasn't the most interesting talker, but she did admit he was interesting to watch. She couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

"I guess it really is something, I've never seen that before."

"That only proves how much of a smoove guy I am!~"

"Yeah well, Mr. Smoove is going to have get to know people around here. Think you can manage that?"

"Might be a little hard, but I'm sure I can."

"Well you can always ask me for any help, I was sort of a foreigner around here too at one point, but you'll make friends soon."

The day went on, as normal as Canterlot High can get, but as soon as lunchtime came so did another incident. Sunset Shimmer sat by her friends at their usual table. Pinkie Pie making food people, Applejack inhaled her food, Fluttershy stored some for her small animal friends, Rainbow Dash competed with Applejack for who could finish first. Sunset Shimmer had noticed a certain fashionista had been missing.

"Hey, where's Rarity?"

Pinkie Pie perked up and pointed without looking over to where JoJo sat nearly alone, save for Rarity, both of them excited over something.

"She's been with the guy with the weird hair! I mean, have you seen that thing?"

"Yeah I have, that's a new kid from Umapan? His name's JoJo. I think I have an idea what they're on about."

Rainbow Dash finished and swallowed the last of the food to speak.

"It's probably about what happened in Math today."

"Oh right!"

Sunset Shimmer raised a brow at the two, Applejack proclaiming victory and getting into a small argument with Rainbow Dash.

"What happened in Math?"

"So we're waiting for lunch, right? And someone gets their phone out about this chemical project for non-lethal explosions. So we all huddle over to watch the video, and when it gets to the boom, he jumps back and falls breaking the desk behind him!"

"Oh boy."

"But then he fixes it just like that, and that desk was in few pieces, but by the time he does his thing it even has this weird sheen to it!"

"Like it was brand new, right? I was showing him around when that project was being done. He looked like he had seen a ghost and broke a few lockers, then just somehow fixed them."

Fluttershy spoke up next, having finished her own meal.

"I saw him right before school started, he helped a turtle across the road, even though I found out later he's scared of reptiles."

"I didn't know that. What about you Applejack?"

Applejack stopped arguing and looked over to JoJo and Rarity before shrugging.

"I ain't got a clue what to make out of him, seems like a nice guy. Just a bit silly with that hair of his."

"Well we'll all just have to wait and see. Speaking of, hey Rarity, what'd you think of JoJo?"

Rarity sat down with a content smile beaming from her face.

"I think he's quite the gentleman! He could use a bit work on that confidence, but otherwise utterly a doll!"

"One you can dress up like a Barbie?"

"Absolutely!"

After lunch Sunset Shimmer began to work on the school paper in the Computer Room. Nearing the end of an article, a sudden rumble with a thunderous boom echoed, followed by the fire alarm. Leaving with a crowd of students, she wondered what was going happening, no one could tell if it was a prank or something serious. Then they arrived outside and saw the awful sight, the right hand building collapsed and burning intensely, and upon counting it had seemed all the students within the burning building hadn't made it out. It didn't take long for the firefighters to come and put the fire out, but everyone feared for the worse. As soon as they started lifting debris they stopped upon hearing a faint sound. A fist came right through the debris below them as if it were styrofoam. Soon a flurry of fists began to tunnel and make an exit for everyone underneath. Students and teachers covered in dust and ash, but only a single one was injured and burnt. Everyone was accounted for. JoJo, the one who dug them all out with his fist alone, smiled carelessly as he pulled out a comb to fix his hair. He was the only one with any injuries, clearly from the explosion itself as well as his knuckles from digging away at the stone. She ran over to him worried but relieved everyone had made it.

"What happened!?"

"I don't know. One minuet we're in gym, the next thing I know is fire starts going everywhere. It was pretty scary but everyone is in Great condition."

"You're not in 'great' condition at all! Your hands are hurt badly-"

"Nah, I'm fine it doesn't hurt at all."

"Still, just look at them! You can't tell me that's healthy. And you've got bruises all over you!"

"Well, my mom's gonna kill me for ruining this jacket, but I'm sure I'll make it."

He took a good look at his hands before shrugging and putting them in his pockets.

"See? It's nothing really, thanks for caring though."

"Why are you just shrugging all of this off?"

"I've been in these kinds of situations back home. It's why we moved."

At that moment a small cough was heard. Sunset Shimmer turned around to see Principal Celestia standing behind her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I was hoping if I could ask you a few questions, sir?"

"Yes ma'am."

Sunset Shimmer withdrew coolly as everyone went home. That night she decided to try and find more things about him, looking up his name on the internet. She was surprised what she had found. On a site about cursed people were a family of unsung tragic heroes only recently being discovered, the Joestar Family. Having had dealings of both natural and paranormal trials, what few members of the family there were, usually met an untimely end with a life full of hardships. Still as tragic as they were they always put others before themselves, their deaths were usually to save others lives by giving their own. She couldn't believe most of what she read but from her own experiences, she couldn't just ignore this. The next time she saw him she would be sure to confront him. There was one last thing that also bothered her. All the family members that had died were nicknamed JoJo. Sighing she went to bed, hoping for things to settle down and not get out of hands this time, but deep down she knew this was only wishful thinking.
