"What the heck did do you to your hair?"

"I made it better."

"You made it like 4 different colors."

"Well your's is like 2."

"White with pink bangs, simple and nice."

"Mine is still way more stunning isn't it?"

"Your like a crayon box would be the better description. Are you sure your new teachers are going to be ok with that?"

"Don't worry, it's fine. My hair is the least possible thing I get in trouble for back in the old school."

"I swear if mom chews me out because of you, your doing my chores for a week."

"No way I'm doing that again."

"Then don't let that be a distraction got it? At least try and be good today...please?"

"Yea yea."

"Good now get to school or you'll be late for your first day."

"Love you big brother!"

"Ow, not in my ear, Love you too, just get going."

With that, the little pre-teen happily skipped out of the front door leaving you to mend your aching ear. "I swear that girl is going to be the reason i'm deaf. Alright, about half an hour to get school for me."

You sluggishly stuffed your bag, slipped on your shoes and began to proceed towards the door until something caught your attention. The sight of a young girl sitting casually on your balcony. You rubbed your eyes in disbelief, as you're sure that she wasn't there before nor did she seemingly pass by you. The only way to that is to drop down from the upper balcony, and that in itself requires hard grip. After your vision cleared, she clearly was gone...like a ghost." Wait.....Ah forget it, I'm seeing things."

You quickly made your way out of the home, sliding onto the sidewalk and down the street until your home was no longer in view. "This is it...a new school, new people, new friends...maybe."

"Psst...."

As you continued down to the end of the street, you proceeded right past a few residential businesses, bakeries and what not. One in particular, stood out the most as you walked these streets before and never noticed it. "Hmm....Shyfly bakery? This building was vacant last time I checked. Then again, I'm pretty new to this area too."

"Psst..."

"Hmm? I swear I'm hearing things too." Finally at the end of the block, you proceeded left, the school visible all the way up a large hill. "Knew I should have invested in that bike. (Sigh) here we go."

"Oohh mister...."

"Ok now I know I'm not crazy, who's the wise guy?"

"Um.....down here..."

Your eyes shifted downward to a timid looking girl, her blue eyes trying their best to look away and her pink hair swaying in the wind as the fall leaves fell among the ground. No doubt she was a grade level under you given her timid nature. "Hmm? Wow...I really am sorry to say this, but I literally didn't see you down there."

"It's...quite ok....."

"Can I....help you?"

"Um.....Are you....by chance um......N-nevermind...."

With that she nervously walked off, her eyes still avoiding your's as she were afraid. "What in the world was that all about? Nevermind it I guess, I have to get to the introduction ceremony."

As you neared the front gate of your school, you couldn't help but notice something shrouded in the grassy hill next to the school. Directly under the cherry blossom was someone sleeping, no doubt about it. "Attention all students, the ceremony will be starting momentarily, please find you seats and thank you." the woman over the intercom went.

"Oh crap, I'm gonna be late." you said as you began to run until your eyes turned towards the person on the hill. "Crap, whoever that is gonna be late too." With no hesitation you began to make your way towards the hill, slowly ascending as you yelled out, "Hey! Wake up! The ceremony is starting any minu...." What coincidence is it that you'd see the girl again, silent as a mouse sleeping on the hill. "Hey you...wake up would ya."

As her eyes fluttered open, she let out a cute little yawn before sitting up. "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing? Anyway get up, the introduction ceremony is about to start."

"Oh well it would.....wait what! I'm gonna miss it!" she said, jumping up and taking off towards the school entrance.

"Least she has the same idea as me. Wait why am I not running?!" As you silently creaked open the door to the auditorium, you took note of everyone sitting down. "Crap, I'm late. Better find a seat quietly."

Now if the student council would take the stage." The obvious principle said.

Quickly you slid into an empty seat, thanking the gods above that no one saw you. It was then that you let out a sigh of relief, until you looked beside you. "What in the...." There she was again, completely passed out in her chair. "Why do I keep running into this girl?"

"And would you please welcome your student class president, Fluttershy!" the principle continued.

Everyone began clapping and cheering until it was obvious no one was coming up. They all confusingly looked around until someone began to staring at the young girl. Soon, everyone began to do the same until it was clear. You had to do something at least. "Uh...excuse me..."

"Just five more minutes...." she uttered.

"I think those five minutes are meant to be on stage."

"Say agai.....wait what! Oh I'm sorry, sorry sorry sorry!" she said as she jumped up and ran towards the stage.

"Fluttershy huh?"

As Fluttershy made her way on stage, the rest of the students began to clap and cheer again. "Now that are president is here, will the Student Council please introduce themselves."

One by one they began, first was a tall girl, obviously in a higher grade, with tripled colored hair, pink, purple, and maybe dark indigo. She was by comparison to most others around here, energetic, rocking a nice pair of headphones and a hair bun to boot.

"What's up new students of Canterlot Academy. My name is Twilight Sparkle, as I'm sure you've heard since my IQ is the thing carrying this school." She said that like she's some kind of saint. "I am the student Vice President as well as the Historian. If you have any concerns as to your studies or maybe some rocking tunes, don't hesitate to let me know. I look forward to dancing across that stage with all of you."

The next, obviously another higher up. This one was just as tall with a beautiful complexion, dazzling purple hair, and a white scarf.

"Bonjour darlings. My name is Rarity and I assume the position of Treasurer as well event director." And she's freaking french too! "I do my best to ensure that the money needed to fund events and services around the school are taken care of. Bien sûr ^{(Of course)}, I'd love to add my personal touch now and then but....excusez moi, I look forward to learning with each and everyone of you, Je vous remercie^{(Thank you)}." she said as she bowed.

This one was a different case, purple hair with teal highlights. The vibe she gave off was almost unusual of a student council member, a punk rock kind of a look.

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Starlight Glimmer, I am the student representative. I guess all I really do is get people involved, get the school pumped and into the events you know. I also, on occasion, advise the council on any plans of action, which in any case doesn't really happen. I look forward to your engagement in many of the fun things we do here at Canterlot Academy."

And last but not least, the girl you had been running into all morning. Her pink hair shimmering in the small light coming from the windows.

"Um....My name....well it's....mmm..." she said in a nervous tone. "Fluttershy....I'm the class president and...well...I just make sure things are in order....sorry...."

"There's no need to be sorry dear, you did your best bon travail ^{(Good job)}." Rarity assured.

The principal then stepped back to the podium, clearing her voice upon adjusting the microphone. "And I am your principal, Ms. Cherilee if you please. Now please, give it up for your student council." As everyone began to clap, you couldn't help but wonder why she approached you in the first place. The ceremony finally ended as you shook it off, mixing into the crowd of people flooding out of the auditorium. "Straight to your classes everyone, you have your schedules."

Confusingly you wondered the school, just as every other person around you. "229?...I'm in the 100's so it's gotta be upstairs." You couldn't help but grind your teeth at the realization of the upstairs rooms. "These are 100's too! (Sigh) Where the heck is 229?"

"I think I can help pardner."

"Hmm?" you hummed as you glanced behind you. "And you ar......wow...." you let drool out of your mouth, the girl wearing nothing but a sports bra and shorts that defined her toned figure.

"Something wrong?"

"Um...no....just wasn't expecting...."

"Oh you mean my training gear. Well I am the top of the track team. Anyway if you're done drooling, ah'd be happy to show you to your class."

"Really, cause this place is seriously confusing."

"Absolutely pardner. Right this way." She led you back down the stairs and outside a side door. Just in the distance was another building completely missed by anyone. "You'll find ya class over there hon."

"Um...thanks...girl."

"Applejack if ya please."

"Right...thanks Applejack. I gotta go now but I hope to see you again sometime."

"See me or see my body?" she said with a scowl.

"Wait w-w-what? I didn't, I swear."

"Don't think ah didn't catch ya staring pardner."

With that, she approached him and began to staring death into his soul. "I'm...gonna die...and I never even got any..."

You felt her breathing come ever so closer to your ear until suddenly, "Got ya..." With that she burst our laughing as the sweat painted your face. "You should have seen the look of your face sugar."

"Why me..." you said wiping the sweat from your forehead.

As she calmed down, she patted you on the back. "You should get going pardner, you're gonna be late."

"R-right. Nice to meet you Applejack."

"You too, hurry now."

As you approached the stairs, you couldn't help but feel this presence in the distance. It felt relatively small as if belonging to a child. You couldn't just fight this urge so you turned around and what came next was by far the highlight of your downfall. A little girl with red hair was airborne directly in front of you, her two feet lined up directly with your...Are you kiddi-- Before you knew it, her little shoes were now planted in your face directly above the stairs. Within seconds, you began to tilt back, the pressure of her hit now taking effect. Quickly she kicked off and landed on her feet, letting you roll down the stairs. "Ow ow ow ow ow!" you screamed every stair you came in contact with until finally you slammed into the wall.

"Applebloom?!"

"Oh howdy big sis."

"Don't howdy me, why'd you kick him."

"He was trying to make moves on you I'm sure of it."

"He was just asking me directions Applebloom."

"Oh no no, I saw the look in his eyes. He was all like 'oh Applejack, won't you let me touch those magnificent breast,' or something."

As you began to stir, you couldn't help but hold your face in pain. "Why does my....oh wait...that girl...wait a minute?" you said jumping up. "Hey where's that little brat?!"

"You stay away from my sister you pervert!"

"Why did you kick me?!"

"Don't think I saw your lewd little hands reaching for my sister."

"I was asking for directions."

"You say that but--"

"Applebloom." Applejack angrily stated. "He was asking for directions, you can literally look at his class schedule."

You weakly held the class schedule up to show her making her cocking her head in confusion. "Room....229...oh yea, that's in the other building across from the back of the school. Don't worry, I'll show you there." she said as she happily skipped down the stairs past me.

"W-wha....she's not even freaking sorry about it?!"

"Sorry about that, my sister is a...strange case."

"Looked more like she was dead on obsessed with you."

"I guess you could call it that."

"Well, I'm gonna go now, hopefully I won't get drop kicked again."

"Might wanna get that checked out later pardner."

"I plan on it." As she led you out the backdoor of the school, you couldn't help but be reminded of Pinkie. She's usually always this cheerful and oblivious. Within a few minutes, you and her both arrived at the other building, which in it's entirety was twice the size of the main school building. Upon entering though, you were met with a sweet smelling fragrance. Flowers of different varieties lay on the window sills of every window, the breeze of the farthest open window taking the scent all the way down. "Smells so peaceful."

"You can thank Ms. Rarity and Ms. Fluttershy for that. They sure know how to plant some purty flowers."

"Rarity, Fluttershy? The student council?"

"Yep. This entire building is their classroom, pretty cool huh?"

"That's actually pretty cool. So is my class up or downstairs?"

"It's actually through the double doors over there. I have to go so i'll see you later."

"H-hey wait a minute." You tried to say before she ran off. "Aren't you going to apologize for kicking me?!" It was too late, she was off on her own little adventure. "(Sigh) This is going to be the death of me I swear." Slowly you placed your hands on the double doors, taking a little breath before opening the doors and walking through. It was like a giant cafeteria, strange for a classroom. "H-hello?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKlW9sTV1mU&list=RDtc4EHU_4ins&index=6

"Ah and here's our newest member."

"Member of what exactly?"

"Well don't shy la mignonne, sit down sit down." Rarity said as she motioned me forward. Funny to mention that all of them were suddenly wearing a set of headphones.

"Just in case you forgot," the teacher began, "I am your teacher and director here, Ms. Cherilee, very nice to meet you."

"So you're the principal and teacher?" you asked.

"And your director too."

"Director of what might I ask?"

"Why the student council of course."

"I was under the impression I was here to start school."

"And you are as you'll still have attend regular classes in the main building during the morning half. But once the afternoon hits, you'll be coming here. So If you would introduce yourself please."

"R-right. Hey everyone, I kinda already know who you are since I saw you at the ceremony but I guess it's my turn. My name is Lotus."

"Last name too."

"Oh right..um, Lotus Pie my name is...or um...my name is Lotus Pie I mean."

"Oh aren't you just adorable." Rarity couldn't squealed out. "Mercy darling, pitié."

"Um...thank you I guess. So what exactly is room 229 then?"

"You seriously don't know?" Twilight uttered making you spin around in confusion, those purple disks for eyes staring right at you as she bopped her head to some music." 229 isn't the room number but the entire building. We, the student council, gained the rights to use it as we please."

"The entire building..." you said in shock. Oh, Applebloom did say that earlier didn't she? "So then, why am I here and not in a regular class, I don't know anything about being a student council member?"

"It was a special request." Cherilee added. "From our Star athlete and trainer."

"An athlete?" Just then, the doors flew open, everyone turning their attention towards the girl now standing in the doorway. "Oh no..." you said as your eyes locked with hers. "Look, I can explain, just give me a sec."

"Don't say a word Lotus."

You squealed in fear at that response. "Listen Rainbow, please."

"I said shut up. You'll get your time to speak...after I'm done bashing your head in!" Quickly she jumped the table prompting you to jump up in response. As she neared, you jumped over the table yourself, desperate to get away. "Stop running you traitor!"

"Just let me explain would ya?!"

"Too late now!" Like a couple of wild dogs, you two circled the room until eventually she chased you outside the doors. All they rest heard was a loud crash, and you screaming. A few minutes later, you both entered, Rainbow with a blush on her face, and you with a look of guilt on yours.

"Um....are you ok?" Rarity asked.

"Fine." Rainbow quickly answered as she sat down, her eyes closed and her arms crossed.

"You don't look ok."

"I said i'm fine."

"If you say so..."

Starlight quickly leaned over to Rarity. "What do you think happened between them?" she whispered.

"I can't say for sure, but things seem tense." she whispered back.

"So," you began, "If we could get to work now, I'd be grateful."

"Silly Lotus. The first day is never about work and you know it." The teacher chuckled. "It's about getting to know your classmates and your teachers. Everyone, please split up into your projects. We shall teach Luna everything we do here at the student council.

"I still haven't agreed to being in the student council you know."

"Oh but Lotus, there are so many opportunities available to you, plus this is only way the school would accept you."

"You're kidding?"

"Not at all. Now please, if you would follow Ms. Fluttershy first."

"Ms. Flutter..." you said before letting your gaze fall upon the girl standing directly in front of you. "Oh geez, when did you get there?"

"Actually...I've been here."

"Oh, sorry about that. I didn't mean to freak out like that."

"It's ok..." She's so quiet. "If you would please follow me..."

"Alright then." As you exited the double doors, Fluttershy slowly made her way towards the stairs, motioning you along. "So Fluttershy, you're the president huh?" She nodded. "You must be really organized then for them to choose someone so young."

"Actually...I'm 16."

You couldn't help but cough up your surprise. "16?"

"Y-yes..."

"Wow, that's insane." As you approached the top of the stairs, it was like an entirely different atmosphere. The wall was painted with velvet red, a carpet lined the floor, and there lay six doors, three on either side of the hallway spaced out considerably far. Four of them were designed in a very interesting way. The one that Fluttershy proceeded to unlock was made out of wood, covered in vines and leaves alike. She motioned you inside, and followed soon after. It didn't take long for you to survey the room. "Wow, now that's insane."

The entire room was straight out of a Disney movie, the designs of birds, cat, dogs, and all animals alike painted the wallpaper. A circle rug with a large brown bear on it lay directly center of the floor while the rest of the floor was comprised of carpet. In the center of the carpet was a small table possibly for eating. On the left side of the room was a bookshelf, with dozens of animal themed books along with a desk where loads of sketches of sat. On the right, a bed with a floral pattern to it and next to it, a green veil covering up another room. "Please take a seat on the bed..."

"You really enjoy nature don't you?"

She nodded before sitting down on her bed, patting a spot next to her. You obliged and sat next to her. "So Lotus, how should we start..."

"You are the president here remember? Why don't you tell me."

"Well, as you know....my name is...Fluttershy. Bunnies are my favorite animals and I like apple juice..." she quietly but quickly shot out.

"Well that's quite the info. Well my favorite animal is a ring tailed lemur and I love apple juice as well."

Quickly she blushed at this, a very small gasp erupting from her mouth. "R-really...favorite color?"

"As you can tell by my hair, pink."

Another gasp came to her. "Favorite hobby?"

"I can't actually tell you what that would be since I've never really had one. I remember spending alot time with my dogs."

Once again, a gasp came to her. "We have...alot in common."

"I assume your hobby is music?"

"Hmm? Oh...you mean the headphones?"

"Yea, I saw you all wearing them, even Rainbow."

"Well, it's kind of a secret."

"Are you sure? Can't you tell little old me?"

She shook her head. "I'm sorry..."

"Well secrets are meant to be kept anyway so I understand. Actually it's kinda surprising isn't it? I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." Quickly, she hid her face behind her hands, a noticeable blush coming to her. "H-hey, no need to be nervous, I am your new member after all. Say why don't I help you?"

"Hmm?" she hummed with a slight nervousness.

"Well, it just seems like you're really shy you know. A president would be way more confident."

"I'm sorry..." she said looking as if she were about to cry.

"Hey hey, I didn't mean it as an insult. I just think that maybe you can work on some things. For example, your volume."

"My..." she uttered slightly touching her throat.

"If you were just a bit louder, maybe you could really sell you spot as president."

"And...how would I do that?"

"Well first, we should start at the top, yelling."

"You want me to yell?"

"Just a little one, to really hear you voice you know."

"Um...ok." With that, she stood up and proceeded to take a breath. What was supposed to be a victorious yell ended up coming out as a very soft, "Yay..."

"Hmm, I think you can do better than that. Let's try it one more time."

Again, she took a breath and once again, "Yay..."

"Well, I think that's the extent of that. No need to keep prying though, I actually prefer your quiet and cute voice."

"C-c-c-cute..."

"Hmm? Well yea, I mean you are a pretty cute girl. Honestly, cuter than anyone I've ever seen." Within seconds, Fluttershy collapsed on the soft carpet. "Uh Fluttershy? Are you ok?"

"I just feel a little...light headed."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YknCm8FOJ7g

"Well here, let me help you up." As soon as Lotus picked her up, the heat emanating from her increased making her blush incredibly. He placed her on her bed and sat down next to her. "Feeling better yet?"

"A bit..."

"Say, is that a kitchen over there, behind the fabric?" She nodded. "Wow, I didn't notice that until now. These rooms are like little apartments."

As swept aside the green veil, your eyes were met with the layout of the kitchen. All the way to the left was the sink, next to that, the counter leading over to the stove and it's four burners before leading up to the fridge. Under and above the stove were cabinets that had a bit of a 1800's look to them. As you opened the door to the container of food, you were met with a sweet smell, the smell of dozens of different vegetables, fruits, and much more. "Are you surprised?" Fluttershy asked from in the other room.

"I mean I know you like nature, but this is something else. You must be like the healthiest girl in the school. Say, I noticed you got some interesting types of apples in here."

"Um...yes, Applejack gave them to me, she's the owner of her own farm."

"Applejack?...Oh yea, that girl who's sister kicked me in the face. She owns her own farm huh? Must be special for them to be able to produce apples like these. Say, are you by chance hungry?"

"I am a little hungry yes...but I can wait for lunch, I don't want to ask too much of you."

"Actually, I'd be happy to oblige."

"Y-you would?"

"I cook for my sister all the time actually. I just need a pot or something..."

"Under the cabinets next to the stove..."

"Let's see here..." you said as you opened up the cabinets. "Ah hah. This one should do, although, it is a little big."

A few minutes passed and suddenly Fluttershy sprung up, a sweet smell filling her nostrils. "That....smells good..."

"Feeling good enough to come check it out?"

"Maybe..." Fluttershy slowly stood up, letting her feet touch the ground. As she stood up, she wobbled a little before catching her footing. Within seconds, she was directly next to you. Inside the pot, she could see a brown liquid, an apple and peach bobbing at it's surface. "What's...this?"

"You wanna try it? It might be a little hot though."

She eagerly nodded before you scooped up a little in the ladle and held it down to her. She blew a little to cool it down before taking a sip. Her eyes instantly shot wide and she sipped the rest of it. "That was...amazing."

"Glad you think so."

"What is it exactly..."

"Well, it's kinda like a syrup in a way. I basically mixed together some water, apples, and peaches to start, then I added something to really let the flavors take over so it wouldn't taste like pure water. Add in a little cinnamon, and it's all done. (Do not quote me on these recipes please) At this stage, it's a liquid and can be eaten as a very sweet soup but if I were add the right ingredients, I could actually increase the viscosity and make it an actual syrup."

"Amazing...I didn't know you could cook this way."

"Well you learn something new everyday. I'll make you a bowl so you can really enjoy it. But...where are those exactly?"

"Above the stove...in the cabinets."

"You know this kitchen reminds me of a very vintage home on the prairie, the way it's designed, the way the light illuminates it, beautiful." you said reaching up for a bowl.

"You...like my design?"

"Yea actually, it's soothing, almost completely peaceful. I think you did a great job designing this.

"T-thank you..." she said with a blush. "I suppose I should let you go."

"Actually, I think I wanna stay a little longer. You still haven't explained to me what you do as president." you said as you filled the bowl with the sweet liquid. "Maybe you can tell me while we eat this."

"Um...yea, that sounds good."

As you both made your way over to the table, she, quietly yet effectively, told you her job as president. The time passed and before you knew it, another hour had gone by. "And that's what I do..."

"Wow, talk about busy. How do you even get anything with a schedule like that?"

"Organization I suppose...It's very hard yet easy as long as you're organized."

"I think you're really cool for being able to do all this work really. I don't think I'd ever be able to handle any of it."

"T-thank you...say Lotus..."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for today. No one's ever said those things to me so...boldly."

"No problem. I should probably get going though, I'm sure the others are waiting for me."

"Actually...I'd like to accompany you."

"Really? But you're the president, don't you already know everything?"

"Not really...I always kind of keep to myself."

"Well that's not good for a friendship, not at all. I gladly welcome your company."

"T-t-thank you..."

Quickly you two put the bowls in the sink, placing a top over the pot of goodness and placing it into the fridge. "Come on let's get going." you said motioning her along. "I bet the others are dying to show me what they do."

She followed you almost instantly, a slight smile coming to her face.
