Emerald and Twilight walk through the halls. The latter looking around with awe, teenagers resembling ponies they know walk by.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you dropped it. I just found it and thought I'd give it to her." A soft voice says. Emerald and his sister peak around a corner to see Sunset and Sunrise Shimmer cornering… Fluttershy!
"Well, I was about to pick it up when you swooped in and ruined everything. You shouldn't be picking things up that don't belong to you." Sunset says.
"It doesn't really belong to you either." Fluttershy mumbles.
"Excuse me?" Sunrise says, as he corners the shy person.
"Nothing." Is whispered
"You know that crown is as good as mine. Pathetic, no wonder your best friends are stray animals." Sunset says.
"How dare you!" A new voice enters. All eyes present dart to Twilight and Emerald. Emerald with his arms crossed and glaring at the Shimmer twins. The two females charge forward in a glaring match.
"What do you say?" Sunset says.
"How dare you talk to her like that!" Twilight says. The two noses are almost touching when Sunset and Sunrise smirk.
"You must be new here." Sunrise starts.
"I can talk to anyone anyway I like." Sunset finishes. Emerald rolls his eyes. An act that doesn't go unnoticed. As Sunrise throws a fist in his direction. Who, as you readers know Emerald, blocks and don't fight back.
"I'd advise you don't do that if you want to keep your pride." Emerald warns with a voice so cold that it could be felt through the portal. The tone visibly shakes Sunrise and Sunset. They walk briskly away.
"I can't believe you stood up to Sunrise and Sunset Shimmer." Fluttershy says.
"Sunset Shimmer." Twilight says.
"You've heard of her." The shy person asks.
"Sort of." Emerald. "I am sorry; I am Emerald Night, or Emerald. Twilight's brother."
Time skip, meeting Pinkie Pie.
"Don't you have a twin sister who looks exactly like you with a dog that looks like that?" Pinkie Pie says.
"I might." Twilight says. Emerald is leaning against the wall spinning his star on his hand.
"Sign here." Pinkie says. Emerald looks up for a second and returns to his skill on the star.
"Did someone order a lot of fizzy apple cider?" A western voice says.
"Me Me." Pinkie says, running to... Applejack.
"Can you bring the rest in?" AJ shouts to someone through the doors.
"Eyup." Big Macintosh says.
"Hey, I know you." AJ says. "And you." Referring to Emerald.
"You do?" Twilight asks.
"Sure, you gave Sunset and Sunrise the what for today. Heard he nearly made Sunrise pee himself." AJ chuckles. Emerald's face stays stoic. After Pinkie Pie tells AJ that Twilight is running against Sunset for princess of the fall formal and AJ Explains what will happen.
"We need to go." Emerald says. "Nice meeting you all." Twilight and Emerald split ways as Twilight heads to the library, Emerald heads to the forest line. Reaching it, he practices throwing his star, since it is designed only to leave a nasty bruise, it bounces back to him. He does flips and other ninja like moves.
"That's pretty cool." A Tomboyish voice says. Emerald turns to see a rainbow haired girl. "I am Rainbow Dash. I heard of an athletic boy with a ninja star practicing here and decided to check it out. "Emerald's face remains blank. "I am sure the guys will love you meet you."
"I am Emerald Night, just Emerald is fine." Emerald says.
"Why don't you sit with us at lunch tomorrow?" Rainbow Dash asks. Emerald nods.
"I need to go now." Emerald says walking past her. "And I heard you have soccer practice soon." Dash stares after his retreating form, confused.
