Monday

Rodens hummer pulled up into Canterlot High's parking lot, where a variety of different coloured and different types of vehicles were parked, including Mise's tank. "Well, at least there's variety I guess."

"This school just allows everything at this point." Sapphire said as she climbed out of the huge car.

"I can see that, seems as though auntie Celestia is just seeing what will happen at this point." Roden added as he killed the engine and locked the car.

Sapphire rolled her eyes and looked up at the building. "Considering she let my cousin Shard in with his swords and his robot butler, I wouldn't be suprised if that's what she was really doing."

"Not to mention all those magical students from before most of us got here."

"Yeah, those were weird times for everyone." Sapphire shivered after remembering being under the control of Sunset Shimmer and then the dazzlings. "Very...weird times."

"Well, I've got to head to the principals office to get my class schedule. Meet me back here at the end of the day so we can get the rest of your stuff moved into the appartment."

"Alright, see you later then, I think we'll end up in some of the same classes anyway." With that Sapphire walked off towards the schools entrance.

As Roden watched her walk away he pulled his scarf up slightly and scanned the area for Octavia, not wanting her to pop up out of nowhere to talk about what had happened and the origin of his scar.

"If it ain't us that tells her it's gonna be someone else." Zerlinda spoke in a tone that seemed devoid of emotion.

"I know Zeri...I'll tell her when I'm ready. If someone tells her beforehand, there isn't much I can do about that."

"How about we leave this stuff for a drama chapter and move on with the day?"

"Sounds good."


Art class

The first class happened to be art class, a class that Roden was looking forward to. While the rest of the class was busy finishing up some projects from the week prior, Roden was allowed to just draw or paint whatever he wanted. He chose a seat at the back of the class where Rarity was standing beside him working on her own painting, styling it and decorating it in her usual fashion. She looked to her side and noticed how concentrated Roden seemed to be on his own painting, staring at it almost unblinking with half lidded eyes, his eyes only shifting around to spot any mistakes as his hands seemed to move on their own.

Once he pulled away to strech a bit Rarity moved to get a better look at the painting, tilting her head and analysing it. It was a heart shape in the middle of the canvas with black splatter paterns around it. It was split in half with one side being purple and the other green, with two silhouettes standing on each side, the green side shaped like a tall male while the purple shaped like a short female. "My goodness, you certainly know your way around a paint brush darling."

"Thank you."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is this supposed to be?" She asked while looking slightly closer to look at the smaller details.

"It's...personal."

"Alright darling, I won't look into it." She said with a wave of her hand. "This is a very odd style, but I think that's what makes it good. It's like three people were painting this at the same time."

"Heheheh."

"Shut up Zeri."

"Thank you Rarity." Roden accepted the compliment as Rarity went back to her own painting.


Gym

Both Roden and Vinyl sat on the benches in the sports hall while they watched their classmates suffer through Coach Iron Wills exercises. "Hey coach...why don't...they have to do this?" Bonbon asked with a slight bit of rage in her voice while pointing to the two and breathing heavily.

"They both have their reasons for not partaking in this class, while Iron Will would love nothin' more than ta whip those two inta shape, I gotta listen to the principal."

"And what are those reasons?!" She snapped while getting her breathing under control.

"Personal reasons." Roden stated simply.

"They couldn't make me if they tried." Vinyl answered with a bored expression.

Bonbon groaned and continued within the exercises while Vinyl and Roden both took out cans of Coca-Cola, clinked them together before taking a swing.

"Traitors!" They heard Treble shout from outside the gym.

"What is it with him and Pepsi?" Roden asked out of curiosity.

"Something to do with some joke about sponsorships or something, I dunno."


Lunch

Roden lifted his tray which contained two slices of pepperoni pizza, an apple fritter and a carton on apple juice, and began looking for a place to sit. While looking around he saw no available seats, and Sapphire was nowhere in sight. "Guess adding all these characters finally filled this place up."

"Roden!" He heard Luna call him from his right. He looked over to see a free seat at the teachers table, which for some odd reason was only really being used that day. "Come join us."

'Please don't hug me when I get there, I don't need the students getting any ideas if you did.' He pleaded mentally before sitting next to his aunt.

"So Roden, how's your first day going?" She asked.

"Rather well so far, I'm finding it pretty enjoyable." He answered while taking a bite out of his pizza.

"Well that's good to hear, have you ran into one of your cousins yet?"

"I ran into Maurice last week and checked up on him this morning. Other than him, no, I haven't."

Luna nodded and returned to her meal whileRoden began to talk with other teachers about certain students and which ones would be needing to attend his therapy sessions. Meanwhile a certain student glared at him from across the room while gripping a knife tightly. "Yo, Rider, you ok there buddy?" A random background character that has no purpose in the story other than saying that line asked.

"Godswell...." He murmured before returning to his meal.
