By the time she had to go to school, Apple Jaqueline had been awake for a while.

She always woke with the rooster the minute the sun got to the sky, sometimes even earlier and now both Mac and her were getting their saddlebags ready and saying their "Goodbye"s to Granny and...AB.

"Ya okay, sis?" Mac asked in the way to the schoolhouse.

He might have been only a few years older than her but mane did he make her feel like a dwarf. "Ya´ll haven´t been the same after yer cutieñera."

"You know what Ah´m upset about." She answered in a some-what annoyed tone.

"And that´s no shame."

"It´s just...It´s mah first day in high school and..."

"Ah know. Ah remember MAH first day of high."

She didn´t respond.

The rest of the way was silenced until they got to the building.

Then, the whistling started.

Stupid fillies and their stupid hormones.

How could Mac just ignore them? Whatever, she was happy it wasn´t her.

They hugged and smiled.

"Break a leg" Mac wished to his little sister.

"Yah, you too."

She entered the classroom.

She sat in the last row and, when she turned beside her, she saw a face that was much more familiar than the others.

"Why, yes, I did made it myself, Suri..."

"RARITY!"

The unicorn turned around, annoyed.

"Hold on, caaaaaaaaAPPLEJAQUELINE!"

Her smile became big and her eyes became wide. She didn´t expect seeing her there.

"It´s been a while Hasn´t it? Good to see ya."

"I thought you moved to Manehatten."

"So did I but Ah guess fate had different plans." She pointed at her flank, showing the unicorn her newly obtained cutiemark.

The three red apples shone with pride, thought the earth pony was pretty sure she never got herself shined.

"Why, isn´t that a coincidence."

She removed the pink cloth she was wearing to show her HER flank.

"You´re looking at the only unicorn in the whole classroom with gem-finding abilities AND the new costume designer for the auditorium plays."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you Now, if you exuse me, I was talking to someone else."

She pointed at the pink earth pony filly who was looking at them with a confused smile.

"Sure."

"Now, Where was I?"

As the unicorn went back to her old conversation, the earth pony got her books and other school stuff ready.

She could see Mrs. Sun Flower trying her best to make her students go silent and chuckled.

Every day, no matter how older they get.

When she finally got them to a some-what silent state, she proceed to talking:

"Good morning, my little ponies I know you´re all new to the high school part of the school house but this year comes a pony that´s new to Ponyville in it´s entirety I would like to introduce you to..."

She was interrupted when a pink filly came into the room at a speed that no one ever thought possible.

The filly was pink all over except for her blue eyes and a blue ribbon on her mane.

As she talked, it was obvious that her braces affected her voice.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie, Pinkie Pie for short I´ve lived my WHOOOLE life in a rock farm but now I live here with my granny AND I´M JUST SO EXITED TO BE HERE AND TO MEET YOU ALL!"

"Yes, we´re exited to meet you too, Pinkie Why don´t you go sit down?"

"OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!"

Apple Jaqueline did a quick revisal of every seat on the room.

The only one that was empty was the one beside her.

Oh goddie.

"HI GIRLS! So you already know my name What´s yours?"

"I am Rarity Belle Nice to meet you, Miss Pie."

The unicorn offered her hoof for her to shake.

She laughed in a rather un-couth and un-ladylike manner, which made Rarity cringe.

"PFFT Miss Pie is my mother I told you, I´m Pinkie."

"Alright then, Pinkie Pie, welcome to Ponyville."

She then switched to saying something under her breath "City of boring."

"More boring than a rock farm? DOUBT IT!"

"You´ll see."

She turned to the farm pony.

"And What´s YOUR name?"

"Apple Jaqueline Apple Smith."

"That´s long Can I call you Applejack?"

The unicorn gasped and pretended to faint.

"Applejack was my father...But alright."

"GREAT!" The two fillies were a little bit surprised when Pinkie Pie hugged them all of the sudden.

"I HAVE TWO NEW FRIENDS ALREADY!"

"Aquantainces" Rarity clarified.

"Ooh! FANCY!"

"Oh boy This should be interesting."


The bell of the school rang, meaning it was time for recess.

The three fillies came out of the classroom together very silent until Pinkie Pie tried to break it.

"So, Rarity, How do..."

She turned around to see that Rarity had run the other way with some other fillies.

Most of them unicorns.

Thought, Apple Jaqueline could recognize the pink earth pony from before Suri was it? Who cares.

"Oh, okay, WE´LL SEE YOU LATER!" Pinkie turned to Apple Jaqueline.

"We will see her later Right?"

"When recess is over, Ah guess" She shrugged.

"Okay."

They walked around for a while until Pinkie Pie saw something on the wall and gasped.

"TRY-OUTS FOR THE PUDDINGHEADS!"

Just like the earth pony had said, there was infact a big flyer that announced the school hoof-ball team league, The Puddingheads looking for new ponies.

The farm pony smiled.

"Oh, yeah, You like hoof-ball?"

"I LOOOOOVE hoof-ball! How about you, Jack?"

Upon hearing her new nickname, Applejack stumbled.

"Yes, a little Big bro and I would always play when I was small."

"OOOoooOOOoooOOOoooh! We SOOOOOOOO have to try-out!" Pinkie started jumping around like a maniac and Applejack couldn´t help but laugh.

"Yeah Why not? Says here the try-outs are next week so we´ve got time to practice."

"AND WE CAN ASK RARITY IF SHE WANTS TO COME WITH US!"

Applejack was now laughing on the floor like a crazy pony "You mean to cheer us on, Right? Cuz Rarity isn´t really hoofball material."

"Oh, come on, don´t go around stereotyping; What´s next You don´t like strawberries or something?"

She sighed and shrugged "Won´t hurt to ask."


Pinkie walked away from the fashion pony and her popular friends rubbing her cheeck "It hurt to ask."

Applejack was shocked "Did RARITY hit ya?"

"No, she simply said Thank you but not interested" Pinkie moved her hips around, mimicking the unicorn; as she talked, Applejack noticed her short poofy hair deflating like a baloon and turning into long plane hair "Then one of those fillies who were with her was all like Yeah, get lost,DWEEB! all the while Rarity just stared like this" She made a shocked expression with her mouth wide open.

"WHY, they messed with the wrong filly´s friend" Jack said as she rubbed her whooves.


A few hours later, Applejack and the same filly that had hit Pinkie came out of the DETENTION room looking at each other angrily.

"AJ!" Pinkie, still with her hair deflated, exclaimed and inmediately wrapped her forelegs around her

They turned to Rarity that was looking worriedly at all three of them "Girls What happened?"

"What happened it´s that these dweebs don´t know what they´re doing" The pink filly, called Spoiled Rotten, shouted to Rarity

as only response, AJ and Pinkie stuck out their tounges.

"Look, I really don´t want to see you hurt; any of you PLEASE promise me you won´t do this again."

"We promise" Both Applejack and Rotten said in unison.

"Pinkie Promise?" Pinkie Pie demanded

"WHAT?"

"It´s my own little promise I´ve invented and NOPONY can break it." She moved her hoof around her heart and face "Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye"

"I am not doing that stupid thing."

"Spoiled Rotten!" Rarity shouted and sent her a death glare.

"Ugh, okay, Rarity, for you."

"Cross our hearts and hope to fly stick a cupcake in our eyes"

"Thank you" Rarity said, relieved "I´m going home now, see you tomorrow, girls"

Spoiled Rotten went home as well, leaving the two earth ponies alone.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DEFENDING ME, AJ! BUT DON´T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Pinkie cried.

"Don´t worry, Ah made a promise and Ah intend to keep it, you´re mah friend, Pinkie."
