I waited for Ms. Twist to arrive, she seemed like a very nice pony. All my new classmates surrounded the outer edges of the classroom. Some had cutie marks, some did not. I still didn't have mine, but maybe I'll get it sometime this school year.
The classroom door opened and a light pink unicorn with curly blonde hair walked in. It was Ms. Twist, and she looked beautiful!
"Good morning my little ponies! My name is Ms. Twist, and I shall be your teacher. Now, I've had all of you form a circle so we can start introducing one another. Would you like to start?"
Ms. Twist looked to a small white filly. An earth pony. She was so small, but compared to the other students, she was only around two inches shorter. She had very white hair, which was extremely short for her age.
"Every one will say their name and tell the class something that makes them different. What's your name sweetie?"
"Um...my name's, Daffodil. And...I'm...really good at gardening."
Daffodil seemed to be hiding something. I don't know what and I have no idea how I could tell, but something about her made her stand out from all the other fillies and colts. Ms. Twist continued to call on students so they could introduce themselves. A lot of them had cutie marks. They would always say what they were good at doing. But the limited amount that didn't have their cutie marks would say something like that their dad works at the Rainbow Factory in Cloudsdale or that their older sibling just became a famous architect. They all seemed to have something to share, but I didn't know what I should say. I certainly didn't want to point out my eyes, hair, or wings. I was just so nervous.
"Now, who wants to go next? How about you young lady. Have you gone yet?"
Oh, no. Oh, yes. Ms. Twist was talking to me, and I just blanked out. I just stood there. But I tried to keep my cool.
"Um...no, I...haven't."
"Well, what's your name?"
"I-I'm...Venesa."
I finally managed to say my own name but I was struggling on what to say next.
"Do you have anything you would like to share with the class?"
Ding! I finally thought of something, I think.
"Do you know Princess Celesatia and Luna who have gone to this school?"
"Why yes. I have had both of them in my past years."
"Well, they...are my elder sisters."
Then, there was silence. Nothing. Everyone was just plain shocked. It was my coronation all over again.
"Wait, so you're saying that you are related to Princess Celestia and Luna?" Someone asked but I couldn't see who.
"Well...yeah."
Out of nowhere, all the kids came running towards me and began asking me questions all at the same time! They completely surrounded me and I could hardly breathe! I tried to get out of there, but I was impossible. But, I stopped, and I looked to the back of the room and saw a group of four ponies just standing, watching, and looking very upset. There were two fillies and two colts. They were much different from every pony else. One of the fillies was a black alicorn with blue hair that seemed to look similar to Luna's. The other was a black alicron with bug-like wings with holes all over her body. One of the colts looked similar to the black alicron with blue hair, but was a colt. The other colt was a grey unicorn with black hair and a pair of red crystals for a cutie mark. The two identical ponies both had the same cutie marks, which I think is impossible. But the strange thing was that they sort of looked like me. Not that they literally looked like me, but as in, they were...different.
Special.
Finally, it was lunch and recess time. We really didn't learn anything yet. All Ms. Twist did was tell us all the school and classroom rules and told us a little on what we would do during the school year. Before the bell rang for recess, we played a few fun games like guess the animal and wax museum, which is my personal favorite.
All the kids went outside and began to play with their friends. But not me. So far, no one really seemed interesting to me, except that group of ponies in the back of the classroom. It was as if they didn't want to fit in or be noticed. Maybe they just don't want to get picked on. So, I went to search for the mysterious group of maybe my new friends.
I spotted them over near the fence at some of the tables. They all had horns so they looked as if they were showing each other new magic spells or something. I bet I could learn some from them and show my family. I walked up to them and began to introduce myself.
"Uh, hi! My name's Venesa. I'm rather new here and I was wondering if I could hang out with you guys."
"Huh, look at this little princess trying to kiss up to us and make us think that she's nice and all.", said the bug-like alicorn.
"Hey, quit it Chrissy! She's new and she probably didn't mean to make all the kids adore her!", protested the grey unicorn.
"Hi Venesa! I'm Sombra! That's Chrysalis, but we call her Chrissy. That's Nightmare and that colt next to her is DarkHorse Knight, but we just call him Darkhorse."
They all had very interesting names, very different from Luna, Celestia, Twist, and Daffodil. But at least they were nicer than I thought.
"So, are you really the younger sister of Celestia and Luna? Or were you just lying?" asked Darkhorse.
"Oh, no, of coarse not! I just couldn't think of anything else to say and-"
"Hold on a second!" Nightmare came up to me and began to examine me. I have no clue why. I think she noticed my "flaws" as a princess.
"You have very interesting wings. Are they...? Why yes, they are! Look at this guys! She's an alicorn with bat wings!"
"Wow! That's so cool!" exclaimed Chrissy. "And I thought my wings were awesome."
"And look! She has extremely sharp teeth! Almost like a shark!"
"Her eyes, too! They look so...um...what's the word I'm looking for?" stuttered Nightmare.
"Beautiful!" wooed Sombra and Darkhorse.
"Alright, knock it off you two!" scowled Chrissy.
"Oh, it's ok. My dad thinks they're beautiful too."
"You mean, the King!?" questioned Darkhorse.
"Well, yeah, if my sisters are Celestia and Luna, then their parents are my parents."
"Wow, it must be awesome to live in the castle! But, at least we all live in Canterlot, so we can hang out and stuff." Chrissy buzzed.
"Wait, are you saying...?" I asked.
"Yep, I, Chrysalis, herby decree that thee, Princess Venesa, is now officially a new member of the Rising Stars club!" Chrissy made a pin appear with 'New BFF' written on it. I couldn't believe it! I made new friends! By myself! And they didn't care about my flaws! I was finally with people that were just like me! And, boy, was it just as I had imagined.
The bell rang and we all went in side for lunch, and I was starving. But, on the bright side, I could also eat with my new friends in the 'Rising Stars' club they made. I guess they wanted a name that could give them hope for their future, since everyone pretty much judged them by how they looked.
We walked to a table that was near the window in the cafeteria. I didn't know there were so many students! I looked out and saw all them, laughing and smiling with their friends! But, something was odd. I noticed that a group of boy athletes were at one table next to the bathrooms nearby. There was also a table with colts and fillies all reading and eating rather than talking with each other. What? There were groups everywhere! It looked as if the students only were friends with people who were just like them! It was like I were seeing doubles! Or triples. Maybe even quadruples. I caught a glance of a familiar face. Tia! She was sitting at a table with two other ponies that were dressed like they were goddesses. They were surrounded by tons of other ponies who were just awing and oohing at them. It was just...sickening.
I at least wanted to see my sisters on the first day, but Tia seemed busy. I searched the whole room with my eyes to find Luna and her big flowing blue mane. And then-
"Hey! Venesa, over here!"
I turned and saw my friends sitting at their table...on the other side of the room. I guess I was extreme observing since I walked the opposite direction away from my friends.
"Sorry. I was just, looking for someone."
"You mean, Celestia and Luna?" asked Nightmare. "Why?"
"I just want to see how they're doing, you know."
I sat down at my new table with my new friends, wow, I still can't believe I have friends. My mom packed me my favorites, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple, chocolate pudding, and some carrots. After I finished my pb and j, I went for my pudding, but...I didn't pack a spoon.
"Hey, guys I forgot a spoon. I'll be right back."
I got up and headed for the kitchen when I noticed a small filly sitting alone next to the trash cans. It was Daffodil! The shy pony in my class. Why is she all by herself?
I went up to her and noticed that she was drawing a gorgeous portrait of a flower field. Daffodil looked up and noticed me here. She quickly shut the book and shoved it into her small blue bag.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scary you."
She said noting.
"That sure was a beautiful picture you were drawing there."
She jump a bit and realized I was talking to her. She looked up and stared into my eyes with shock and awe.
"I like to draw as well. My name's Venesa!"
I gave her a small smile and held out my hoof. Daffodil reached out and shook it.
"T-Thank you. I'm...Daffodil." She seems like a very nice pony.
"I'm sorry for asking this, but...why are you talking to me?" Wow, that is a weird question to ask.
"Well, I noticed you were sitting here by yourself. So..." An idea came to my head. "Hey! Would you like to sit with my friends and I?"
Her eyes instantly lit up like the Forth of July as she almost jumped out of her seat.
"I'd LOVE to! Oh, thank you Venesa!" She reached out and gave me a surprisingly large hug, since she was only half my size.
"Great! How about you gather all your stuff while I get a spoon. I'll be right back."
She nodded with agreement and automatically began putting her things away. Man, she seemed very excited just to sit with a group of ponies she had never met. That's when it hit me. She had no friends. Like me before I came here. I wonder how long she's gone like that?
I finally got my spoon and headed back to take Daffodil to my friends when suddenly, I heard a thud. And another. And a small whimper.
I rushed to where I left Daffodil and found her and her things sprawled across the floor. A pair of two ponies stood towering over her and began laughing at her. Was no one seeing this?! Those two mean heads just pushed a small delicate filly to the floor, along with all of her belongings! Why would anyone even do this?
"That's what you get for not giving me my taxes!" snickered a brown and gray pegasus, a male, with a soccer ball, basketball, and baseball for a cutie mark. Next to him was an orange, red and green earthpony with a finish flag as his cutiemark. They obviously loved sports.
I marched right up to them and tapped mister-give-me-my-taxes on the back. He turned with a very annoyed face.
"What do you want-" He suddenly paused when he saw me. He and his little sidekick just stared at me blankly like I was about to drop them in lava. Their reactions were the same from everyone else I first met, rather than my friends and Daffodil, scared and shocked. But, they managed to snap themselves out.
"Who the hay are you?!" questioned the pegasus.
"Yeah!" added his little pony friend.
"I'm Venesa, and I believe you just shoved my friend onto the ground because she didn't give you your, ahem, so called 'taxes'."
I turned and lifted Daffodil to help her gather her things. I guess the 'boos' of the pair didn't agree to this and came closer. And shoved Daffodil back onto the ground!
"What the hay dude?! What's your pro-"
THUD! Oh, NO, he didn't!
That little...he just shoved me to the ground like I was nothing but trash!
"Stay out of my way, Venesa, or you'll be sorry!" growled the pegasus.
Ok, I'm gonna tell you right now. I have quite a temper once I lose it. I didn't know this until this day this "Stomper" dude, yeah that's his name, messed with me and Daffodil. This kind of pony is what you call a bully. A kid that mostly bullies others because they had a hard childhood or they just always want to be the boss. Well, prepare yourself for a HUGE out break. Cause it's just about to storm. Hard.
As Stomper turned away from me, I felt like a huge bomb fire was ignited inside of me. I felt like I was about to blow, like a burning hot volcano.
I reached and grabbed his right back leg and used my surprising sudden strength to toss him to the other side of the cafeteria! The students and few amount of teachers that were around all turned in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes.
I quickly got up and ran over to Stomper and prepared to give him a nice tasty knuckle sandwhich. What I didn't realize was that during my huge rage fit, I was creating a giant thunderstorm...inside the cafeteria! There was rain, thunder, lightening and everything! I guess my studies in weather so far were really paying off.
Before I hit Stomper right in the jaw, a voice cried out:
"VENESA!"
I paused right before I hit my target, my eyes still full of anger and fire, as an utterly stunned, shocked, and terrified Stomper, used his chance to escape. I knew who had called out. It was Luna. I could hear that traditional royal Canterlot voice from a mile away.
I finally calmed down and realized that everypony had witnessed my huge tantrum. Even my new friends and Daffodil were stuck with faces of fear. My sisters Tia and Luna were shocked as well, but Luna had also the face my father made after he saved me from the whole balcony incident.
I couldn't believe what I had just become. It was as if I was an out of control animal that had rabbis and escaped from the zoo. I...I became...
A monster.
I hope you have been enjoying my first story so far. It's not five star perfect, but I hope you like the fact that I basically made a crazy animal. (Ha. Ha.)
I've been incredibly busy this whole summer and sometimes I just forgot. :)
