The day was going slow for Knick Knack, he received his new timetable along with his friends, on Mondays he had double maths, magical science and then a one hour lunch break, followed by literature. Tuesdays he had Physics, Physical education, one hour break and then followed by double art. On Wednesday he had Equestrian history, geography, one hour break and a double lesson of workshop. Thursday had physical education (P.E), chemistry, a one hour break and then Biology, and on Friday he had art, Linguistics, another one hour break and languages.

Thankfully it was a Wednesday as Knick Knack hated maths and preferred an easy lesson to sit through than twenty pages of mind numbingly boring equations, Knick Knack sat next to Stargazer as they got to choose where they could sit seeing as it was their first day back. All around Knick Knack were ponies that looked like they were bored out of their minds as the teacher droned on about Equestria's alliance with the griffins during the great war, the stale smell of chalk met Knick Knacks nose as the teacher levitated the chalk to the board, drawing a simple diagram of key points of what happened during the war. Stargazer was carefully jotting down notes as Knick Knack was doodling on his page.

"Psst....your gonna get in trouble!" Stargazer whispered to Knick Knack through his teeth, eyeing the teacher, seeing if he noticed him.

Knick Knack was to busy doodling when he didn't notice the teacher stood in front of him, a quick cough got his attention.

"And what is your name young colt?" asked the teacher, the teacher was a fairly skinny colt, with a slicked back Gray mane and a pale orange coat, a pair of small black spectacles delicately balanced at the tip of his nose.

Shocking Knick Knack, he quickly covered up his notebook, smiling sheepishly. "Uhh it's Knick Knack sir" Knick Knack quickly spoke as a small blush formed on his face due to embarrassment.

The teacher gave him an unamused look as he continued speaking, "so would you be able to tell the class what the date was when our troops stormed the beaches of Neighmandy?" the teacher asked.

Thankfully for Knick Knack, he remembered the date from the film *Saving Private Reign*, "I believe it was the 6th of June, 1944 actually" Knick Knack said smugly, watching the teachers expression change from one of content to one of embarrassment, having been outsmarted from a slacker.

"oh, well yes that...that was correct" the teacher said as a few giggles elicited from the rest of the class, the teacher turned back to the board, talking about the great war.

Stargazer turned to Knick Knack, what the hell was that?! you got away with not paying attention?" Stargazer asked astonished, even more with the fact that he even got the answer right. Knick Knack lifted his head from the desk and just said plainly, "thank movies eh?" Knick Knack slightly chuckling as he put his head down again.

*one boring hour later*

Knick Knack walked down the school hallway, alongside him walked Stargazer, they both had the almost exact same time table, apart from workshop, they trotted down the hallway groups of ponies cluttering up the hallway, most of them didn't even pay any attention to the pair as they ventured on. Just as they turned the corner, Knick Knack bumped into another pony, sending both of them and a load of paper everywhere, looking up from the floor, he say Stargazer laughing his ass off at Knick Knack but helping pick up some of the papers with his magic.

"I'm terribly sorry for my friend here, he doesn't watch where he walks" Stargazer said as he tried to apologise to the pony. Knick Knack was about to make a snide remark to Stargazer when he saw who he bumped into, it was a pale lavender mare, she had a darker purple mane and bright blue eyes, Knick Knack noticed she was a unicorn as well, her cutie mark was a book with a quill writing in it. Knick Knack just sat there with his mouth agape until Stargazer nudged him with his fore hoof.

Quickly Knick Knack stood at attention, as this mare just stared at him until laughing, "what's so funny??" Knick Knack asked as the mare pointed out, "one of my papers is stuck in your hair" the mare pointed out between giggles, feeling his hair with a hoof, Knick Knack pulled it out and held it out for the mare, his cheeks glowing redder by the second, Stargazer nudged Knick Knack again, knocking him out of his trance. "Knick name my is Knack" Knick Knack blurted out covering his face with a hoof, feeling even more idiotic than before, especially since getting some odd stares from pones around them.

The lavender mare just stared, blushing some more before clearing her throat, "don't worry, I know your name Knick Knack, i was sat at the other side of the room in history class, my name is Dawn Sparkle by the way" Dawn said as she held her hoof to Knick Knack, realising what to do, Knick Knack shook her hoof, a sheepish smile on his face.

"You said your last name was Sparkle? are you related to Twilight Sparkle by any chance, the mare who runs the town library?" Knick Knack asked as Stargazer shook Dawn's hoof.

"Why yes I am, she's my mother in fact" Dawn said as she carefully levitated her papers into her saddlebag, "well I'm sorry but i have to get going or I'll be late for magical history, bye you two" Dawn quickly spoke as she dashed off down the hall.

Knick Knack watched as Dawn went off down the hall, Knick Knack could have stood there for hours if it wasn't for Stargazer shaking him, "dude you don't know how to talk to mare's do you?" Stargazer remarked slyly as Knick Knack gave him a death stare. "I mean what was that all about, you looking like you saw a ghost and then messing up your words, you need help with the ladies man" Stargazer remarked as he imitated Knick Knacks face.

Knick Knack however stopped listening and all he could think about was Dawn, just the fact that one encounter made him fool up more than he flooded the toilets back in filly school as a prank, it wasn't nice.Snapping out of his daze, he saw Stargazer looking at him unimpressed, "lets just get to class before you pass out from gawking too much" Stargazer replied sarcastic like, as they trotted off.

*One Geography lesson later*

Knick Knack and Stargazer left there lesson, Knick Knack looked like he was going to fall asleep due to boredom whilst Stargazer looked exhilarated from their lesson, "that had to be the most boring lesson ever" Knick Knack exclaimed as they made there way to the cafeteria for their break.

"There'll be worse lessons to come Knick Knack" said Stargazer.

"There better not be" Knick Knack laughed as they made their way to the cafeteria.
