A new day at Canterlot High had begun, the sun was shining, the cars were out, and everyone was excited and thrilled as a new event was coming up. Normally they wouldn't be excited since it was a new year of school, but because of all the events that had happened over at Canterlot High over the few years, school had been very exciting.

The first thing that would be happening for this year, was that all of CHS were helping setting up a party for new students and parents, and it was in a few weeks and it still needed everything to be set up, but it was no worry for any of the students. And in this high school, the now Human Seven have been up to the task of keeping an eye out for more magic to come. Right now, the group was hanging out in the music room where they were often at, discussing their plans for setting up this new event.

"Okay so we know Pinkie's gonna help set up the decor, and Rarity's gonna get Big Mac and two others to help with some of the music entertainment, what else do we have?" Sunset asked.

"Well we've already got the fliers up for the party. I'm sure everyone's coming." replied Fluttershy.

"This party's gonna be awesome! Better than the Fall Formal! Uh... no offense." said Rainbow Dash remembering what happened at that event.

Sunset merely sighed and said "None taken. Again."

"Even if the party will be great, does anyone else wonder if we'll face some old enemies again? I'd hate to run into the Dazzlings." Applejack asked.

"I don't know. Considering what we've dealt with so far, it won't be long until another supernatural enemy from Equestria comes here to try and take over again." Rainbow replied.

But while they were talking, Sci-Twi was finishing up fixing her spectrometer. Unlike before where it was used to detect and steal magic, this time around it was only used to be tracking the magic rather than stealing it. She finally got it done, and then met the others in the music room. "Hey guys, finally got the spectrometer finished, now we can simply track magic rather than steal it."

"Well that's good to hear, glad it won't be taking the magic right out of us." replied Sunset.

"Well after all of the mess we went through in the Friendship Games, I'd made sure that would never be the case again." Twilight responded.

Their old friend Flash Sentry then entered the room to check in. "Hey guys, glad to see you're doing alright. How's the magic detector coming?"

"Its finished, so now we can track the magic without stealing it. I wouldn't want... Well, you know..."

"No I understand." Flash responded.

Flash knew it all too well about what Twilight meant. He remembered her transformation into the raging she-demon. He had never been more scared of her in his life. But after finding out that it was Crystal Prep's doing, he still cringed when learning that information. "Oh before I forget, you know a new student's coming to here at Canterlot High. He just moved into the neighborhood." said Flash.

"Oh no, I forgot I was supposed to show him around. But what with there's the welcoming party and...."

"Sunset, you go show the new guy around, I'll stay here and help." Flash replied.

"Oh can you?" asked Sunset.

"I'd be glad too." Flash answered.

"Thanks Flash. I appreciate it." Flash gave a smile back, and Sunset headed out to the front to welcome their new student.

Meanwhile outside....

"They really need to fix that statue."

Tox stood, looking at the remains of the Wondercolt statue, with an added addition to his clothes, a black arm stocking to cover up his prosthetic limb, (however the clearly robotic fingers were showing). He cringed after remembering what happened that day. But he remembered that he was starting a new life. Away from the selfish and hurtful Shadowbolts, so he could open up about anything at the school.

"At least I got you." Tox looked at the golden equine amulet around his neck, and the looked back towards the school. And then, he took a deep breath and relaxed.

"Keep it together Tox. You'll be okay. Just don't think about Crystal Prep, think about what CHS has to offer. It probably offers more than what Crystal Prep had. Especially considering the... magic. Right."

He entered into the school, and stood near the entrance. After finding no one around, he put his backpack down on the ground, leaning against the wall. And just to keep himself calm, he started up some old music from his music player, and hit play. That got him calm down about going to a new school. So as he clapped and hummed along with the beat, and he started to dance for a bit as he enjoyed the tune of the beat. He leaped, and jumped, spun around, pretty much just enjoyed the beat and even sang along.****

Little bitty pretty one...
come on and talk to me
lovey dovey lovey one
come sit down on my knee...

He then stopped dancing around after hearing someone's footsteps down the hall. Following which he stood still and waited for that someone to come on down. Then he saw a girl with orange skin and red and yellow hair walking in.

"Hi, are you the new student I'm supposed to show around?" asked Sunset.

Toxgio stood silent for a bit as he was afraid of what to say. Sunset could tell from his look from him that he was shy, but another emotion was running through his head. For he was locked onto a hypnotizing trance. Sunset Shimmer was the most beautiful girl he had ever set his one working eye on. The way the hair flows on her back like sizzling bacon, the most sweet smile on her face, and those eyes. Those, sweet, teal eyes....

"Hey, you okay?" She asked.

Toxigo snapped out of the trance, and just nodded for a bit and didn't say a word, and put his fingerless glove covered hand on his prosthetic arm in fear. But luckily Sunset wasn't judging.

"Hey, you don't have to be afraid. Everyone's shy on their first day" said Sunset. "I should probably introduce myself first. I'm Sunset Shimmer. I'll be your tour guide for the day. What's your name?"

Toxigo stayed silent again, looked away with his one eye. The sight of Sunset Shimmer was just ravishing. but finally got the courage to speak to her.

"Tox-- Toxigo. My name's.... Toxigo." he replied sheepishly. Sunset then gave a friendly smile to him to welcome him. But soon her senses finally caught up to her eyes. There was something strange about him. For one, she looked closer at the arm stocking, and could see the fingers were clearly metallic. And the ears looked like they had been made from a secret government laboratory.

"Hey uh, if you don't mind my asking, I apologize for staring at you, but I couldn't help but notice your hand? And the ears?" she asked.

"Oh, that, um. Lost my ears in an accident and they only way to be able to hear again was for these things to be installed. But I rather not talk about that. Bad, bad memories. And as for the arm, I'll explain that later."

Sunset replied after with, "Well that's okay. That's understandable. Anyways, you're gonna love it here. Canterlot High is a great school. Ready to start the tour?"

"Um, sure. Yeah. I've heard good things about this place. Lead the way."

The two of them then proceeded to walk down the hallways of Canterlot High.
