Come on, rise and shine sleepy head.

You groan and swipe the air in the direction of the voice that was nagging you.

Go away

Come on sleepy head, time to wake up

You feel something poke your side and you groan.

Get the heck up, youre going to be late!

I dont want to get up

You attempt to tell her that youre sick, but it comes out as an incomprehensible jumble of mumbles because your face is in your pillow.

Yea yea, whatever you say Dumbo, just get up already!

Something light hits the back of your head, and you lift your head up and look at it.

A dress shirt?

Come on, you told me that the theatre teacher wanted to see you about an hour before the auction.

Oh shit, the auction thing is today

You reach into your pocket and try and unlock your phone. You quickly realize that you had forgotten to charge it last night because the battery was dead.

What time is it? you ask as you sit up and slip on the dress shirt, not bothering to button it up.

Well uh its about five in the morning.

Why the hell

Didnt I say an hour before the auction? It starts halfway through first period, right?

You look at her, and she sticks her tongue out at you.

I may have woken you up two hours before the auction So what?

You sigh and make your way over to Rainbows closet to find a pair of black dress pants hanging on the knob. You slide them on, and then make your way over to her dresser and find a pair of black socks, putting them on and fastening your only pair of dress shoes to your feet right after.

You plug your phone into its charger and fall face first onto your bed, which apparently is funny because you hear Rainbow giggle right after.

Whats so funny Miss Im gonna wake someone up an hour earlier than he wanted me to? you shoot a glare her way, and it gets quickly shot down by a cheerful smile.

Sorry, I guess Im just so excited for today I mean, todays the day I finally get a shot with you! she says, starting to play with her hair.

Whats with you today?

What do you mean?

Well I guess you just seem more girly today. You rub your chin as you look at Dashie, and she frowns at you.

She was wearing the normal uniform, except today it looked on par with what Raritys uniform always has looked like. There are no wrinkles on, and everything on her looked perfectly aligned, plus she was sporting a black bow tie, which you had never seen her wear. Her hair looked normal, yet completely alien. It was smoothed out to perfection with her newly adopted hair style, the one with the hair clip, the exact opposite of her usual bed head patted down with water and brushed one time.

Thats really cruel you know you make it sound like I never look like a girl

Whats with the bow tie Dashie?

Well you always seem to stare at that Octavia girl at lunch, and the only difference between our uniforms is shes always wearing a bow tie, so I thought she squirms around in her sitting position on the bed as she stares at the TV, which was stuck on some old time cartoon that seemed to be muted.

How would you know tha-

Shut up! she throws one of your pillows at you, and you laugh as you catch it.

I see youre sporting a nice blush now

And you seem to be a lot less sure of yourself. What happened to Rainbow Dash, the best dare devil that will ever be? She throws your other pillow at you, and you swat it down and kick it up into the air to catch it.

Well I hope youre ready to spend twenty dollars at the auction today. you say, chuckling as you toss the pillows back at her.

Stop selling yourself short. She throws a sock at you, and you ball up your hands as you rub the area below your eyes and pretend to cry.

Youre so cruel mistress Jeffie!

Oh shut up

You wink at her and she groans and lies back down on your bed, and then proceeds to play the drums on her stomach.

Actually, its really cute how you think nobody notices you. Trust me you nave little boy, youve piqued the interests of quite a few girls since the time you got here. I cant go a whole day without someone saying something about you helping them out in class, or even you giving them your lunch because they didnt have money

Huh I mean I do help a lot of people out, but thats because I hope they would do the same for me

You look down at your shirt as Rainbow goes on about how people apparently talk about you all the time, to notice that you need a tie.

Well I need a tie or else Im going to look like a goofball. Ill be right back. You make your way to the door and you hear Rainbow sigh.

Yea yea you hear her say as you close the door and scratch your head.

Alright Where can I get a ti- Rarity.

You knock on Raritys door and take a step back, buttoning up your shirt and then trying to smooth out some of the wrinkles in it.

Who the hell could be up at this hour you hear her say, her tone just above a whisper.

Probably didnt expect me to hear that

You hear the door open and you look up from your shirt. She has a minor case of bed head, but other than that she was still the same beautiful Rarity you had grown to admire from afar at school. She was wearing a simple yellow spaghetti strap tank top with a gray pair of sweatpants.

Hi Rarity. Weird question, but do you have any ties?

She looks you up and down, and she squeals as she grabs your wrist and drags you inside, slamming the door behind her. She pushes you into a sitting position on her bed, and then proceeds to stand in front of you smiling. Am I dreaming?

Look at you! Dressed all spiffy like Are you by any chance one of the students being auctioned off this year? she asks, walking over to her dresser and pulling out an orange comb.

Uh, yea

So about those ties

Please let me fix your hair! she says, getting on her knees in front of you, getting way to close to a certain area than you ever thought would happen in a million years.

Er you say, feeling your face heat up. Yea Im probably dreaming

Why are you getting so red? she says, looking somewhat annoyed.

Well uh you look over at her dresser, trying to avoid eye contact. When you do finally look back at her she is just realizing why you were feeling awkward.

Oh Sorry! she says, backing up about 6 inches, cupping her hands together out in front of her.

But please let me fix your hair! You look ridiculous with your hair so messed up!

You give in and nod, and she suddenly disappears and materializes behind you on the bed, already busy at work, almost as if she had completely forgotten you had woken her up moments ago. You start to relax, letting your guilty pleasure show; you just loved when people touch your hair.

Oh, I think I may have a few ties in my closet. Ill look after Im finished with this mess she stops combing your hair, and you feel her fingers run through your hair lightly, seemingly like they were looking for something.

Whats wrong Rarity? Did you find a tick or som- Ow!

So youve been ignoring me, right? she says, tugging on a few pieces of hair that had knotted together.

Ow!

You do plan on taking me out to dinner soon, right? she says, her head going over your shoulder and looking at you. No, not really

You look anywhere that wasnt her, and she tugs on your tangled hair again.

FUCKING HELL!

Right?

Yes! Yes, Ill take you on that dinner soon, just relax with the hair pulling! you say, wiping away some extra moisture that had accumulated around your eyes.

Okay youve finally said it, but do you truly plan on taking me out?

Yes? she gently tugs on your hair and you flinch, though it didnt actually hurt.

Please? Ive been looking forward to it for a while now

You start to feel guilty for blatantly ignoring her up until now. She really was a nice girl, and on top of that she was gorgeous, and as of the moment you couldnt really think of a reason to keep avoiding her.

Yes Rarity, I promise that I will take you to that dinner you deserve. You look her in the eye and smile, and she smiles back and starts working on your hair again.

Why were you avoiding me anyway? Am I intimidating or something?

No I guess I just didnt want to confront you

Because you werent planning on taking me, were you?

Yea I wasnt But now that I think about it, I dont really have any reason not to take you, and I have a good reason to take you

After a few minutes of Rarity relentlessly fixing your hair, you start to find it hard to keep your eyes open. It had gotten quiet, and getting your hair combed was not helping with your struggle to stay awake.

Maybe if I just rest my eyes for a few moments

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uh Where am I?

That is the first thing that pops into your head as you open your eyes. You yawn and try to sit up, but something is holding you back.

God dammit Rainbow

You are on your back lying on what you think is a mattress, and there are two arms wrapped around your neck. They get just a little tighter as you hear Rainbow sigh, and you start to unwrap them from your neck.

Oh youre up? What the

You immediately sit up and look behind you to see Rarity rub her eyes and yawn.

You look confused Okay, let me refresh your memory. I was combing your hair, you fell asleep, you ended up leaning on me and we both ended up lying on the bed together, and I didnt necessarily want to get you off me so I just dozed off. She gives you a sheepish smile and you smile back, because you couldnt really be mad at her. It was your fault after all.

I still need a tie

There should be a few on the immediate left when you walk into the closet.

You go to where she directed, and pick out a simple black tie with small turtles on it. You walk out of the closet and shut the door, and Rarity is now combing her hair in front of her dresser. You look at the alarm clock on her nightstand and realize that it was time for you to get going.

Thanks Rares, but I have to go meet the theatre teacher now...

No problem. I wish you luck at the auction, though you dont really need it. You hear her say as you walk out of the door. You stick your head back in and look at her, and she pays you no attention.

Whats that supposed to mean?

You wont have anything to worry about in the auction dear, just trust me on that.

Does that mean you are going to be bidding on me?

Sorry darling, but theres this one freshman who has really interested me, and for once its not for looks or money. I bumped into him quite a few times, and each time he always smiles at me and he gets a cute blush on his face, and when he talks to me it's like he is completely ignoring my popularity... Like I'm normal."

Really? Well I hope you win him then!

You close the door behind you and think about saying something to Rainbow, but you decide against it and you start making your way out of Building C.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really wish I had my phone. Stupid stupid stupid

You sigh and sink down to the floor, using the wall to help you down.

I think Im too early Dammit Rainbow

You pick yourself up from the floor and brush your pants off. You take a deep breath and go to push the theatre doors open, but right as you do the door slams into your face and you find yourself on the floor.

Ouch you sit up as you rub your head.

Just the little boy I wanted! Uh What?

You crack open your eyes to see Miss Bon Bon leaning over in a Red Thrush uniform that was a little too small for her, and you start to slowly back up.

That sounded extremely creepy Bon Bon

What is with you and forgetting to call me Miss Bon Bon!?

Instead of saying something back, you stand up and brush yourself off again.

You said you wanted to see me an hour early, right?

Yes, yes I did! She takes a step forward and puts a hand on your chest.

Um Are you going to tell me why Bon Bon? you gently remove her hand, take two steps back, and then awkwardly cough.

You really need to stop forgetting the Miss when you address me. She moves up closer to you and puts both her hands on your chest.

Worst teacher ever Please tell me Im dreaming

Is it really possible for you to make it this awkward already Bon Bon? she moves a little closer, and you quickly correct yourself.

I mean Miss Bon Bon! she moves back a small bit, and laughs at you.

Why are you so tense? Does this outfit excite you or something? I mean, Im still pretty young she winks at you and you groan.

Teachers shouldnt act like that you mumble, looking down at your shoes.

Oh, so it does! she wraps her arms around your waist and hugs you, looking up at you with a quivering lower lip.

I hate you so much Bon Bon

Aw you are no fun. She says as she realizes you arent paying her any amount of attention. She moves back and she puts her hands behind her.

And you are the most immature teacher ever

You say that like its a bad thing! she holds her head high and sticks her tongue out at you, and you sigh.

So why am I here so early anyway?

Good question, my dear adolescent boy! She holds her hands out in front of her.

Ta da!

You look down at the piece of terribly folded loose leaf paper, and you tilt your head in confusion.

Uh Ta da? you say, poking the piece of paper and then putting your hand back by your side.

She groans and forces the paper into your hand.

This is your little summary that Im going to read as you walk on stage!

Oh fuck me

You stare at the piece of paper in your hands, scared to open it, and also questioning why it was so warm.

Bon Bon, was this in your skirt or something? Its really warm

Oh hush up, yes it was. I had it half tucked into the back of my skirt, whats it to ya? she tilts her head sideways, just like you, seemingly completely confused by why you were hesitant to open it.

Are you going to read it?

I dont know Its like if I want to know when Im going to die or not you hold the piece of paper between your pinkie and your index finger, with your arm fully extended.

Stop being so melodramatic new kid.

Im not even that new anymore! you say, stomping your foot in protest.

Whos the immature one now? she says, adopting an even wider grin to her already smiling face.

I hate you so much its not even funny you say, hanging your head in defeat and shoving your hands out in front of you and dropping the paper.

Aw dont be like that, you love me!

Heh You sound a lot like my roommate, you know that Bon Bon?

She clears her throat and you hear her tap her foot.

You know that MISS Bon Bon?

Oh, is that so?

You try and say yes, but you end up yawning and having to settle for a simple nod.

Why so tired?

Dont talk to me

Stop being such a wussy. Come on, lets go. She waves her hand and starts walking down the hall.

You hesitate to follow her, and she ends up turning around and waving at you.

Whats wrong? Need me to hold your hand or something?

I dunno You could be taking me to the back of your candy van or something

You say as you make your way up to her. She smacks your hand, and then takes it and starts to drag you along.

Yea. I know, I know, its a candy Jeep. My bad.

She stops and goes to slap you and you end up flinching; she only flicks your nose.

Bad dog.

Real funny

It gets relatively quiet. Bon Bon occasionally tries to start a conversation that lasts for about thirty seconds and then ultimately fails.

She could let go of my hand anytime now

Eventually after what seems like a lifetime of walking you find yourself in front of the theatre again.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THAT!

I just wanted to hold your hand, thats all. She winks at you and lets go of your hand as she pushes open the theatre doors.

Wait what?! She knows just how to push my buttons

She holds the door open for you and motions for you to go in, but you gently push her aside and hold it open for her, and she smiles at you.

Well if you say so new kid

Technically I didnt say anything

You follow her inside, and you chuckle quietly to yourself as you make your way towards the stage. The students, who you assume to be the theatre members, were all sitting on the edge of the stage looking extremely bored.

Seems like your students are really trying their hardest you say just above a whisper, but somehow Miss Bon Bon hears.

Theres not much preparation needed for this. All we need are the chairs, she points at about 25 red and blue chairs in an off and on pattern that are on the stage, and my microphone. She takes a pen out of her shirt pocket and throws it at a girl who was preoccupying herself with a book. The girl raises a microphone a few seconds after the pen hits her.

Are you sure you really dont want to read it and change any, if not all of it? she takes the terribly folded piece of paper out of her shirt pocket and holds it out towards you, but you shake your head.

I think its better if I just not know what it says. She shrugs and pulls herself up on stage, sitting next to the girl with the book.

You will be the fourth person auctioned off. You make your way onto the stage and look at the chairs.

That means you sit in the fourth chair honey you shoot a glare her way. She winks at you and blows a kiss as you sit down in the last seat to your left, facing the nonexistent audience.

Hey Bon Bon? she turns around and waves at you before turning back around.

What is with this teacher

Bon Bon? This time when she turns around she looks annoyed.

What?

When does this stupid thing start?

In about an hour.

So why am I here? Better yet, why are your students here?

Well I have to be here an hour early, so I make it a grade for my students to share the pain with me! she says a little too happily, and you feel sympathy for the students who looked bored out of their minds.

Whatever. Im going to take a nap.

Go ahead sweet cheeks.

Dont ever call me that again.

Sure thing sugar plum.

I hate her so much.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ow!

You reach up and rub your forehead. You open your eyes to see Bon Bon, and only Bon Bon.

The hell was that for?

Well its almost time to start the show!

Show?

Auction. Sheesh you are slow

Oh shut up.

"Do you want a write up?"

You then start to notice the slow and steady rise in noise inside the theatre. You gently move Bon Bon aside to have your eyes greeted to a growing audience. To your surprise, it was split about fifty/fifty between girls and boys, and it seemed to have quite the variety of the school mixed in.

Whats with all the people?!

Well about 95 percent of the people here are just here to get out of class. If your teacher says you can come, you can come.

I guess I just didnt really expect there to be this many people She shrugs and flicks your nose again.

What the hell?

You are a pretty heavy sleeper, so I just want to make sure youre awake. Were starting in about five minutes. Good luck!

Bon Bon turns on her heels and walks to your right, and as you watch her walk away your eyes meet someone elses.

About time you woke up.

Oh great, I have to sit next to this asshole

Hi. We got off to a bad start, Im Tom. He smiles at you and extends his hand towards you.

Fuck you.

Well er You see, I have some anger management problems, and they just kind of got out of control when Ditzy accidently tripped me. I gave her my sincerest apologizes the following day And now I suppose I should be apologizing to you for stopping me from crossing the line.

Well at least he is trying to make amends

You sigh and shake his hand.

Think we could start over?

Yea sure. You say, letting go of his hand because he was squeezing just a little too hard.

Great! So did you know Im going to break the record this year?

Huh?

The record for the highest amount of bids of course! He looks at you like you had just committed blasphemy.

Like amount of girls bidding for you?

Amount of money!

Oh I get it You want to break the record for the amount of money you accumulate? He looks at you with a dumbfounded expression.

Do not tell me he doesnt know what accumulate means

Uh Yes! Of course thats what I meant.

Do you know what the word accumulate means?

Yes.

Whats it mean?

So Ive heard a lot of things about you You are basically the nicest guy in school, right?

Way to dodge the question

I guess. Ive just done a couple of nice things, so what?

You look over at him quizzically.

Well you sure have left an impression on the ladies.

He wiggles his eyebrow when he says the word ladies, and you let an extremely loud laugh escape your mouth that makes the whole theatre get quiet. Everyone slowly starts talking again, and you put your face in your hands and sigh.

Man this guys a dork...

Well that sure was loud...

Yea, that really was.

You look up at him and you cant recognize him as the same guy who tried to hit Ditzy, and you smile.

You know, I had the impression that you were a huge jerk.

Whys that?

People.

Dont believe all the rumors you hear new kid.

Oh come on, not you too!

Hush, its starting.

The lights start to dim to the point where you could only see the outline of the audience, and then a spotlight hits the podium Bon Bon was standing at.

Alright, lets start the annual Red Thrush auction she says in a nasally congested voice, exactly like your stereotypical nerdy girls voice.

Bon Bon wasnt in the school uniform get up she was wearing earlier; instead, she was wearing a trench coat and a goofy looking top hat that kept tilting to the side no matter how many times she reached up to fix it. There was an electro song slowly growing in volume in the background, and Bon Bon looked like she was shivering with anticipation.

You nudge Tom, and he looks at you with the same quizzical look he had on a few minutes ago.

Whats wrong?

Why is she like that all of a sudden?

What do you mean?

She isnt wearing the same clothes as she was before, plus her voice is all nasaly.

Well she is the theatre teacher, didnt you know that?

I really hope he is just acting stupid

I know, its just Literally five minutes ago she was in the school unifor-

She looked pretty hot in it, dont you think?

Oh my god

Back to what I was saying

I really dont understand what you are getting at here.

You have got to be kidding me Alright let me see you close your eyes and try and think about putting it into laymans terms.

Is there a reason that she is dressed up like that?

Oh relax new kid, she did the same thing last ye-you ignore him momentarily because Bon Bon looked like she was about to explode from anticipation.

Im going to take a stab in the dark here and say something is going to happen at the drop.

Well then lets begin. She says in the same monotone voice, and then ripping off the trench coat and top hat.

The lights come back on at full power, blinding you momentarily as the drop from the song blasts through the theatre. You feel your metal chair vibrate on the stage as the whole crowd seems to cheer louder than the actual music, and right as you regain your sight you close your eyes and sigh.

Dubstep, a million laser lights, and a screaming crowd. Why am I not surprised

You look back to Tom who was laughing, but because of the noise level in the room it appeared like he was choking because you couldn't hear him.

(Stop playing the song here, or continue listening. Doesnt matter)

Shh everyone. Shhh quiet now Bon Bon says as the song starts to slowly fade out, calming the crowd ever so slightly.

Alright folks, we have quite the selection of students to auction off today!

The audience roars in response to Bon Bon, and you smile at how much they seemed to adore the young theatre teacher.

Alright, since I know you all want to go back to class she says in a teasing voice, and the audience responds with the majority of them booing, mixed in with a few laughs. She picks up the top hat that she had dropped next to her when she had ripped off the trench coat.

So lets get this auction rolling! she throws the hat and it makes it to the middle back on the right side of the theatre, and a girl puts it on and screams. When you focus on her, you notice that there was a bunch of yellow goop running from her head, and she was laughing.

When did Bon Bon put those eggs in there?!

The audience all seems to laugh at the girl and the girl actually ends up laughing along with them.

I guess kids here really arent that cruel No bullying is taken seriously here

You look over to the kid two seats down from you, and he is shaking pretty badly. He is wearing a simple black dress shirt with an extremely dark purple tie and jeans. He has long legs, so you assume that he is pretty tall, plus he has black wavy hair, and for some reason he gives off the vibe that he is incredibly shy. You move your chair forwards a little bit, and wave towards the kid, and he smiles and shakily waves back. You mouth the words good luck; he stops shaking and smiles back.

Alright, lets get a round of applause for this brave young man, Orion Starchaser!

The song Eye of The Tiger starts playing, and the crowd starts cheering, but the boy Orion stays plastered to his seat.

Oh this must be the kid Rarity was talking about Why isnt he getting up!? This is bad

You stand up and walk over to him as fast as you can. You lean over and ruffle his hair up a bit, and then whisper in his ear;

There, now you look perfect Orion. Go get em tiger.

I cant believe I just cracked that joke

T-thanks!

Orion then stands up as you walk back to your seat. Orion starts a slow walk to the center of the stage, marked with a giant duct tape X. Bon Bon clears her throat loudly, and when you look over at her she is tearing open a letter.

Of course. His little summary looks like an official letter, and mine is a terribly folded piece of paper.

(Stop song here, or keep listening. Doesnt really matter I suppose.)

Alright folks, this freshman enjoys reading and gazing at the stars at night. He has never had a girlfriend- Orion stops dead in his tracks and looks at Bon Bon in horror, and she simply winks at him as all of the girls in the audience say daaaaw at the same time, and he likes to study.

Right as Bon Bon Finishes, Orion reaches the X on the stage, and he stands there looking awkward. Bon Bon whistles and a few multicolored laser lights all shine on Orion, making it him look like he was wearing a poka dotted suit. You hear a couple of gasps escape some of the girls in the front row, and Orion reaches up and scratches his head.

So why dont we start the bidding at-

50 DOLLARS!

You look out into the crowd to see a familiar girl standing up with her hand over her mouth.

Rarity!?

You see all of your strange friends sitting towards the middle of the left row. Rainbow is the farthest to the left, and Rarity farthest to the right. You spot all of your main six friends that you had originally met, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy, and all of them were looking at Rarity in shock.

Orion looks extremely confused, and since the crowd was all murmuring quietly to each other you think they are confused as well. He is looking down at his feet with his right hand behind his neck and he has his head slightly tilted towards you, and you can see him looking at you out of the corner of his eye.

Thats mere pocket change! 100 dollars right here! you scan the crowd for the next bidder, and are surprised to see someone you hadnt seen for quite a while.

VINYL GOES HERE!? WHAT THE HELL!

What a way to start the auction! Two girls already fighting over the first boy, how exciting! I havent even had to start doing my job yet, so keep going, this is great!

125 dollars! Rarity barks back, and then instantly covers her mouth. She starts making her way towards the center aisle, wading her way through the sitting students and so does Vinyl.

200 dollars. Vinyl says, keeping her composure as she slips past a few bored looking boys, whose eyes get huge after Vinyl passes by them.

Vinyl! Fine, 300 dollars.

The crowd is speechless to how fast the bidding had escalated, and the two of them were staring each other down in the center aisle, not even a hairs length of space between them. A few boys on the end seats are breaking their necks trying to look under both girls uniforms, and Rarity kicks one of her feet back and hits one of them in the face.

OW!

The murmuring had turned to loud whispering, and Rarity and Vinyl continued to stare each other down.

Uh 300 dollars going once? Bon Bon says as she realizes it was her turn to butt in, her speech faltering a bit, obviously not that used to it going down like this.

Vinyl doesnt make any sign of raising it any higher.

Going twice?

301 dollars. Vinyl grins so wide that you could see from where you were sitting, and Rarity shrieks in frustration.

302 dollars!

302 dollars going once? Going twice? SOLD TO THE EXTREMELY PRETTY GIRL WITH THE PURPLE HAIR! Bon Bon yells into the mic, and the crowd erupts into another frenzy of whistles and claps. Vinyl messes up Raritys hair and quickly makes her way back to her seat, and you swear you could hear Rarity groan as she tries to fix her hair.

A boy wearing a dunce hat runs past Orion and jump right behind him, throwing a small amount of confetti on Orion before running back the way he came behind stage.

Uh Thank you Jack for that amazing what the heck was that!?

Rarity makes her way up onto the stage and smiles at Orion before taking his arm and dragging him behind the stage to your left, and he waves at you right before the backstage door closes.

Well that sure was This school sure is different.

A/N

First, heres a story that I'm currently reading that I hope keeps going. Now go read it. Now.

Second, sorry for the delay on the chapter. I know I put out a blog a few weeks ago about my new writing schedule, and I do in fact plan on sticking to it. It's just that the day after I posted that I started my slow descent into depression over something extremely cliche, but I'm completely over it now, SO I WILL BE STICKING TO THAT SCHEDULE.

Third, point out mistakes. Please. Haha

Next Chapter: "So think of this as a farewell gift" (Auction 2/2) Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 13 Minutes
