10 years later

Octavia shook her head after reliving the memory in her head, sighing as she closed her textbook as the bell signalling the end of the period rang through Canterlot High. Packing up her stuff she made her way out of her English class, walkimg towards the school cafeteria with the rest of her classmates.

"You ok Tavi?" A young man asked as he walked up to her. He had grey hair styled similarly to the hair of Danny Phantom, his clothing being a black chefs outfit with golden buttons, minus the chef hat...although it would look pretty funny if he did walk around with a chef hat.

"I'm fine Mise." Octavia replied. "Just remembering some stuff from my childhood is all."

"What kinda stuff?" Mise asked with concern.

Octavia looked away slightly. "Sorry Mise, I don't want t-" She was stopped as Mise placed a finger to her lips to silence her.

"Look at me Octavia." He instructed. "Whatever is on your mind is obviously troubling you, if I'm going to help make you feel better I need to know what it is that is troubling you."

Octavia looked Mise in the eyes before sighing. "I'm just remembering someone I had to leave behind when I moved here to Canterlot ten years ago."

"Who was it you had to leave behind?"

"My brother." She said quietly. "We weren't related by blood, but with how close we were we might as well have been siblings."

Mise nodded in understanding before bringing the cellist into a loving hug which she readily returned. "Thanks for checking up on me."

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't make sure you were happy?" He asked with a chuckle begore pulling away. "And hey, look on the bright side. Unlike a lot of us here who've lost someone, the one you lost is still out there somewhere."

Octavia looked at him with a curious expression before a look of realisation took its place. "Hey, you're right."

"Who knows, with how many guys have shown up to join the school over the past year your brother may be the next to walk through those doors." Mise said with a cheery voice, doing his best to make his girlfriend smile.

"Oh sure, like that isn't foreshadowing at all." A boy spoke sarcastically as he passed them, he had messy black hair and wore a blue jacket while he walked beside Vinly Scratch, a girl with electric blue and white hair and white skin who wore purple sunglasses. "Didn't take you for doing such a cliché PyraFlare." This is Treble Mix, the schools second fourth wall breaker alongside Pinkie Pie.

"Hey, I'm just trying to cheer her up Treble, now go be weird somewhere else." Mise spoke back with a frown.

"Oh of course your majesty, right away~" Treble mocked as he walked away.

"Joke's on you idiot, I come from a royal bloodline!" Mise shouted back causing Treble to groan in annoyance. "Still, you never know Tavi. Maybe he's close by and you don't know it."

Octavia looked to her boyfriend and smiled. "Maybe you're right."

Meanwhile, a group of students were setting up for an open night where teens interested in joining the school could have a look around.

"Alright Ditzy, you got the flyers stacked?" Lyra asked as she set up a table in the front hall of the school.

Ditzy Doo smiled adorably as she held a neatly stacked pile of flyers for the school in her arms. "Yep, got em all here." Just then a soft breeze washed in through the open front doors of the school which swept the top flyer off the pile causing it to be carried outside. "Aw man, one got away."

"It's alright Ditzy, it's just one flyer. Now close that door before any more blow out." As Ditzy set the pile down and ran to close the door she saw the one flyer floating high up into the sky.

"Wow, the wind is really taking that thing far away." She said before closing the door.

The flyer made a few spins and loops as the wind carried it over Canterlot City. The soft orange sky brought a sense of relaxation to the people of the metropolis. The sun wasn't close enough to the horizon for it to set anytime soon, making many wonder how the sky was so orange in the first place, but ignored it as there were more important things to worry about.

The flyer passed the last building of Canterlot and began flying over a large hill that separated the next city over. It passed a large sign that read "Welcome to Maretropolis" as it began flying further upward. You know it really should have got caught on something or landed by now.

It flew threw the busy streets of the metropolis, many of the buildings being black skyscrapers. The flyer then pulled up as it glided up the edge of a large black building until reaching the top, it made a few more flips before getting stuck on someone's leg, the wind still trying to carry it.

The person reached down and took the flyer in his hand, begining to inspect what had just interrupted whatever he was doing. The figures scarf blew in the breeze as he read the note, taking in the details of the school it was advertising.

His emerald green eyes scanned the page carefully, interested in what it had to say, not like he was doing much other than admiring the landscape anyway. "Canterlot High...hmmm." His voice spoke, seeming to be a balance between high and low.

"You seem awfully interested in that advertisement." A deep voice spoke in the back of his head.

"I've been looking for a good school for awhile now Zanny, it wouldn't hurt to check it out, I hardly do anything with my day anyway, might as well try something productive for once."

"But school is so boring." The voice of a young girl complained in his mind.

"Only if you don't have an interest in what you are learning Zerlinda, there are things you can learn that are pretty exciting."

"I doubt that."

"Come on sis this could be good for us, we can meet new people and actually have something to do for once." Zanny encouraged.

"But we can learn here at home! And we would meet plenty of people if we just attended the parti-" Zerlinda stopped herself from finishing that last part. "Oh man, sorry big bro, kinda forgot why we don't go to those things for a second."

"It's fine sis." The young man assured the voice in his head. "Just think before you speak, ok?"

"Ok Roden, I'll try."

Roden nodded and looked out in the direction of Canterlot City.

"Wait a minute why are we even standing on a rooftop anyway?" Zanny questioned.

"I don't know, maybe the writer wanted a cool atmosphere." With that Roden began walking towards the stairwell that allowed him to reach the top of the skyscraper, ready to do some research on Canterlot High before making any decisions on whether or not to go.

Mise en Place is the OC of Celtic_Fire

Treble Mix is the OC of Grand Muff Ragga_Muffin or whatever he's changed his username to now

The voices in Rodens head will be explained later in the story, for now just think of them as the two funny voices.
