"Relax mom, I'll be fine! It's only an hour away!" I said. Mom always said she was prepared for this, but she wasn't. I had told her a billion times that Wonderbolts Academy was only an hour away. She wasn't crying, just really really worried.

"Promise you'll come home once in a while to see me?" She asked as I shoved a framed picture into a box.

"Promise." I told her as I wrote on the side of a cardboard box. The campus had dorms, so I was moving out. A loud noise came from the front, and we saw the carriage that we had gotten to take my stuff. There was about five or six boxes total, because I couldn't bring everything to Academy with me. I took a final quick look around, then grabbed a box and brought it outside.

After a few minutes, all the boxes were on the carriage, and the driver was ready to go. I turned to mom, who was smiling, but had tears in her eyes. I hugged her before climbing into the carriage with my stuff. I waved to her until she passed out of view, then I lay down. I felt so bad for leaving. All my friends would be starting their lives while I went to school for a few extra years.

The hour passed quickly, and before I knew it, the campus was in view. Built similar to Canterlot, it sat on the side of a mountain. It didn't look like much from a distance, but it was much bigger than I thought. The carriage landed in front of a big building, and I unloaded my stuff before going inside. I found a bunch of pegasi walking around, talking. A table was set up in the middle of the room, with a big 'sign in here' poster hanging above it. I walked over to the table, and was met by Spitfire, who had retired as a wonderbolts a few years ago.

"Well, if it isn't the accident-prone FeatherDash." She said sarcastically with a smile. I had met her a few times before, and she was always sweet to me.

"Hey Spitfire. What am I supposed to do now?" I asked. I was totally lost.

"Well, I look up your name, and tell you your room number. Then I give you a key and you get to go meet your roommate. Somepony will come by later with your schedules." She said as I was given a key.

"Alright thanks! I guess I'll see you around."

"Alright, laters!"

Note: just wanted to get a quick chapter out. Btw I think it's awesome of people to do fan art. My favorite: art/FeatherDash-and-his-Mom-348758688?ga_submit=10%3A1358309821 so cool! If any pony decides to do fan art, post it somewhere and send me a link.

also, the cover is done by the talented Melody (her in real life ;3)
