The Royal School of Canterlot was officially open.

Students from all across Equestria (and even beyond) rushed to the doors, accompanied by their parents. It was the first day. Everyone was excited.

Including me.

"Darling! Please get down here and walk," Dad shouted from down below. I looked down at him but continued flying nevertherless.

Hi, you. Yes, you. The reader.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Princess Flurry Heart, daughter of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armour. I'm an alicorn and I live in the Crystal Empire, but you already know that, don't you? My parents decided to send me here to learn and socialise like everyone else.

I did some somersaults in the air before landing. I love flying. My parents looked at me with relief.

We soon arrived at the gigantic front doors of the school. Woah. This is big. There was large crowd of students and parents gathered in front of the stage where stood the Sisters.

We found a spot in the crowd. I looked around and saw the... Cakes? They are quite famous bakers and were right next to us. The couple had twins, who had to be around my age. They looked familiar-

"Welcome, one and all to the Royal School of Canterlot!" Princess Celestia's voice stopped my train of thoughts. "This school is new and you-" she pointed to the crowd "-are its first generation of students. I hope you enjoy your year here. Now, as you probably know, your parents filled in your enrollement form."

Princess Luna took over, "They will leave you here after this assembly. You will be given your locker key and inside your locker will be your schedule of classes. Head to your class afterwards. Your teachers are waiting for you there. Each of your teachers will have their own set of rules. We'll see wach other on the end-of- year school reunion. Have a great year!"

The assembly was dismissed, and so was the crowd.

"Well, have a fun first day, dear," Mom kissed my cheek.

"Learn lots and... make some friends," Dad kissed my forehead.

"I will," I smiled then flew off to my locker.

The hallway was aligned with doors and lockers. I searched for mine, the key floating in my telekinetic field. Locker #42.

I saw the Cake twins again. I landed next to them and saw my locker. Looks like their locker is next to theirs. I opened it to find my schedule for the year.

History was my first class.

I emptied my saddlebags and filled it with only the necesary supplies. I looked at the twins again. Might as well talk to them while they were here.

"Hey there! " I tried to make a good first impression. "My name is Flurry Heart."

That's when I realized that one was a unicorn filly and the other one a pegasus colt.

"Flurry Heart? You are an alicorn! I'm Pumpkin Cake and he is my twin brother, Pound Cake," the unicorn greeted back. She had a yellow coat and an orange mane, tied in pigtails with blue bows.

"We've met before, haven't we?" the pegasus known as Pound Cake inquired. He had a beige coat with brown mane and eyes.

I did a quick mental scan, trying to find a topic to talk about. "So, what's your first class?"

"History," they answered simultaneously.

"Shall we go?" I asked, "I don't want to be late on my first day." They followed me with bright smiles that I returned.

This day was going to be perfect.
