The girls watch as Pinkie Pie drag Spike right over to theit table after finding her talking to him, much to his protest.

"What is she doing!?" exclaimed Sunset.

"Pinkie's just bringing Spike over to us, I don't see any problem." said Rainbow nonchalantly.

"The problem is that we've met Spike before..well the other Spike, the point is we know him, but he doesn't know us, when I first saw his face and said his name, he was completely put off." Sunset explained.

"I get it, but we all kinda agreed to be the first ones to make friends with him." said Twilight.

"You did? When did this happen?" asked Sunset.

"It was a few moments ago, before you barged in." Applejack answered.

"To be honest with you all, I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with him, I mean look at him, I didn't think it was possible but as a human, Spike seems more adorable than as a dog." said Rarity with a light blush.

"I actually agree with you Rarity." said Fluttershy equally flustered.

Before more could be said, Pinkie sat down along with Spike, wrapping her arm around him.

"Hey girls, allow me to introduce Spike Drake." proclaimed Pinkie gesturing to Spike.

"Uh, hi." said Spike awkwardly.

"Why hello darling, I am Rarity." Rarity said introducing herself offering her hand to shake, which he took.

"Name's Rainbow Dash kid." said Rainbow

"I'm Applejack, pleasure to meet your acquaintance." said Applejack.

"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy." said Fluttershy.

"Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you." said Twilight.

"You already know me , remember?" asked Sunset.

"Oh yeah, it's nice to meet all of you." said Spike.

"The pleasure is all ours darling, in fact were just talking about you." Rarity told him.

"Really?" He asked surprised.

"Yep and we thought it would be nice if you hang out with us for a while." said Pinkie.

"Wait, what?" he asked perplexed.

"We all figured since yer new here, we could help you fit in, plus we wouldn't mind if you spend time with us." explained Applejack.

"Um, I don't know, I'm more used to being by myself." he told them

"Come on, it'll be fu~un." Pinkie sang batting her eyelashes.

Spike was contemplating whether or not to take them on their offer, he had to admit, even though he just met these girls, admittedly they are very nice, but he still isn't used to being a part of a group of friends, however seeing as how they may not take "no" for an answer (especially Pinkie) he had no choice.

"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt." he said.

"Yay!" exclaimed Pinke enveloping Spike in a tight hug, who was then also hugged by Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Oh, we're gonna have such a wonderful time darling." said Rarity.

"If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Fluttershy told him.

"Okay, alright you all can stop hugging now." said Spike blushing, not used to the close contact.

"So Spike, after school maybe we could go to your house, meet your parents, we'd all like to meet them , maybe show you and them around town." offered Twilight.

"No! I-I mean, we're still settling in, they'll probably be busy for a while, heh." Spike said nervously, darting his eyes back and forth.

"Oh, well okay, that's understandable I guess." said Twilight, the girls agreeing with her, Applejack on the other hand had a look of suspicion, before anymore could be said, the bell rang.

"Oh, that's our cue to get along to our next class, Spike dear which class are you off too?" Rarity asked him.

"Uh gym." he said.

"You're in luck, that's where I'm going, come on we'll walk together." said Rainbow.

"That's alright I can go there by myself." Spike assured her.

"Too late, we're going." she retorted dragging Spike off his chair and walked out of the cafeteria.

"You know girls, something tells me Spike being here will make things interesting." Sunset told them.

"Uh huh...yeah." said Applejack with a thoughtful look on her face.

Spike and Rainbow Dash were walking through the halls heading to gym class. Rainbow had her arm around Spike, and was telling him what he had to know.

"So if you want to know how to catch up, just ask me, I'd be willing to give you some pointers." she told him.

"You know I only asked how tough it could be, didn't really ask you for help." he said.

"I'm just saying, if you want to get through P.E., you need to learn from the best, and I don't like to brag, but I'm pretty much the top student." she said smugly.

'She's right, that didn't sound like bragging at all.' he thought sarcastically as they walked into the gymnasium. It was filled with athletic students who were doing push-ups, situ-ups, all kinds of exercise.

"Go ahead and get changed, I'll be with you in a moment." she said, heading into the girls' locker room.

"Well, here we go." he said going in. The Boys' room was filled with dudes chatting and roughhousing, Spike found a locker room that held a gym uniform for Spike to use. It consisted of a white t-shirt and blue shorts. Spike quickly changed and observed himself.

'Too bad these don't come in green.' he thought.

"Hey you." a voice called out. Spike turned and saw three older boys, one had spiked up blue hair and pale, light grayish amber skin, another was tall, muscular had apple green skin and opal hair, the last one had light violet skin and dark hair with grey streaks, he also had blue shades on and a light mustache, they were all wearing the same gym uniform as Spike.

"You're the new kid right? I'm Flash Sentry and this is Brawley Beats and Ringo." Flash introduced himself and his friends.

"Hey." said Brawley.

"Yo." greeted Ringo.

"Um hi, I'm Spike." he waved.

"How you settling in?" Flash asked.

"Meh, so far so good." Spike responded.

"Cool." Flash said.

"Well, see you later I guess." said Spike, walking off.

"Dude, he totally looked like-." Ringo began.

"I know, kinda expected him to be smaller and walking on four legs." said Flash.

"Man this is weird." Brawley commented, earning him stares from his bandmates.

"What?" he asked.

"Dude, after everything that's happened in the past few months, the fact that there's a human version of the other Twilight's pet dog is what you think is the weirdest thing that's happened in this school?" Flash asked.

"Hey, I'm just saying, it's like this school attracts weird things, still can't get over the whole talking dog thing." Brawley defended.

In the gym, all the students were lined up, then the coach approached them, he was big, muscular, had blue skin and hair, was wearing a track suit, that surprisingly fitted him, and a had a nose ring.

"Hello students, for some of you who don't know, I am Iron Will, today we'll be heading outside for a game of soccer. You'll be split up into 2 teams, whoever wins will have achieved victory, the losers however will face utter humiliation!" he proclaimed a bit loudly, causing the students to recoil.

'Someone's had too much caffeine this morning.' Spike thought.

"Well what're you waiting for maggots!? Get out there!" Iron Will barked making everyone runt outside.

As soon as everyone they each took different sides of the field, Spike on the left side, and Rainbow Dash on the right, Iron Will blew the whistle, commencing the start of the game. Rainbow was able to get the ball, thanks to her natural sports talent, she swiftly move past the opposing team , she was the close to the goal, but then, the ball was taken from her by Spike Drake himself, she didn't even see him coming.

"What!?" she exclaimed.

"Too easy." he said with a confident smirk. Despite the many obstacles in his path, Spike was able to past them with ease and the goal was in his sights, he kicked the ball with great force, and was so fast, the goalie couldn't deflect it, Spike was able to make the goal, scoring a point for his team.

"Point!" Iron Will called, gesturing to the left side of the field. The team that scored cheered.

"Oh it is on now!" Rainbow exclaimed, now in her super-competitive mode. She took the ball, and ran as fast as she could, and kicked it into the other goal.

"That's how its done!" she shouted. The game went on for a solid 20 minutes, the score was tied, Spike and Rainbow were giving it their all, Spike was doing amazingly well, no one expected him to be this good, the fact that he was on par with Rainbow Dash of all people was an amazing feat. Before the final goal could be struck, Iron Will blew his whistle.

"That's enough! Bell will be ringing soon, get changed this game is a tie!" Iron Will bellowed. At that the students went in. As Spike was walking Rainbow caught up with him.

"Hey Spike, that was a good game. Didn't think you were that good." she complimented him.

"Thanks I guess." Spike responded.

"Just so you know we're gonna have to settle this, I never just leave a game at a tie." Rainbow told him.

"Whatever, well I'll be seeing you." he said walking off.

'Good to know there someone who can keep up.' she thought to herself.

Spike made his way to his next class which was History. As much as this day was going way better than his past first days of school, he was aching to go home and just spend some quality private time by himself. He stopped at the the classroom and went inside. Students were in their seats, waiting for class to start, a cheerful voice called out his name.

"Spike, over here!" Pinkie called out, Spike turned to see Pinkie Pie waving her hand a bit too much, Rarity along with Fluttershy sitting close by.

'Ah jeez.' Spike grimaced.

"Spike hey Spike its me Pinkie, with Fluttershy and Rarity, come sit near us there's a free desk!" she called to him, making him blush furiously, knowing she won't stop until he sits near them, Spike decided to do so.

"Hey girls." he greeted them.

"Why hello darling, we were just wondering when we'd see you again how was gym? I hear there was a soccer game, I hope Rainbow Dash wasn't too hard she can be very competitive when she wants to. said Rarity.

"Nah it wasn't that challenging we ended the game in a tie." Spike told them, causing them to gasp in shock.

"No way! You're kidding!" Pinkie said in awe.

"It's all true, ask her yourself or some the others that played, they'll vouch for it, it's not that big of a deal though." he said shrugging it off.

"But Rainbow always wins a game, no one in the whole school have been able to beat her let alone end in a tie, not even most of the jocks." Fluttershy informed him.

"Wow you must really be super athletic ooh maybe you can try out for the soccer team." Pinkie suggested

"Not interested." said Spike bluntly.

"You sure? there are many after-school activities you could be involved with, why there's chess, mathletes, drama club, choir, band, and others." Rarity informed him hoping he'll reconsider.

"Sorry but I'm not used to that kind of stuff." he explained., the teacher then came in to start her lesson.

"Okay now settle down and take your seats class so that we can begin the lesson." the teacher Ms. Harshwhinny, little did she know Pinkie Rarity and Fluttershy were having a quiet conversation.

"Looks like we'll have convince him that joining a club or team would be super duper fun." whispered Pinkie.

"Maybe it shouldn't be just any club, it can be something that suits Spike well." suggested Fluttershy.

"The sweet thing just needs to open up more, we should discuss this with the others." Rarity said, at that class went on without disruptions until the bell rang, Spike then went off to his next class which he read was science.

"Bye Spike see ya later!" Pinkie exclaimed waving goodbye along with the girls.

"Yeah sure." Spike said with a sweat drop.

'Yeesh doesn't that girl have an off switch?' Spike thought.

In the chemistry lab everyone was their assigned stations, Twilight Sunset Shimmer and Applejack were sitting patiently waiting for class to start.

"Wonder how Spike is doing." Twilight said.

"I'm sure he's fine, and if he needs any help he can come to us." Sunset told them.

"As much as I think he's alright there's something off about him." Applejack said.

"What makes you say that?" Twilight curiously asked.

"Ah don't know but y'all and everyone else know that Ah can smell a lie just like that, well it may just be paranoia but there might be something Spike isn't telling us." Applejack explained.

"Well if that's the case then with time he'll be more comfortable with sharing, oh look who it is." Sunset gestured to the entrance where Spike just entered.

"Hey Spike over here." Twilight called to him, Spike made his way to their station.

"Hi girls." he greeted.

"Good to see ya sugarcube, things going well?" Applejack asked.

"As well as it could be." he shrugged.

"Good to hear, hey so you sure we can't drop by your house later?" Sunset asked.

"Look I'm sorry but like I said we're still settling in." he said, trying his best to lie but still couldn't resist Applejack's suspicious eye.

"Well okay then, maybe another time." said Twilight.

At that class went on without a hitch, Spike and the girls had no trouble with the activity the teacher assigned, about ten minutes later the school bell rang signaling the end of class and the school day the students were quick to leave, Spike being the last one to exit.

"Bye Spike see you tomorrow." Sunset said waving.

"Later." Spike waved back.

Spike went outside and decided to take a walk home, it took a while but he made it to his house and went to his room he got on his bed and was alone with his thoughts.

'Well today went way better than I thought, those girls seem d really nice and all but still I it's best if I keep to myself.' he thought drifting of to sleep.

Thus ended Spike's first day of school he still had doubts but decided not to dwell on it until the next day in the meantime he can just enjoy his time alone.
