Chapter 7
It is now Monday and APPLEJACK and Shad are in English class.
Professor Discord: Well everyone today we are going to get to my favorite assignment of the whole entire year. Any guesses? How about you Miss Rarity?
Rarity: Ugh well…I don't know professor honestly.
Professor Discord: Of course you wouldn't. It's my favorite project because I don't have to teach you all anything. HAHAHA. But seriously let's get to what the assignment is. I will be paring you all up randomly, and please don't ask me if you get to choose partners. It's not happening! Now, let's start revealing the pairs. First Miss Shy will be paired with…Miss Shimmer.
Fluttershy: Oh ok.
Sunset: This is going to be interesting.
Professor Discord: Miss Rarity will be paired with….Miss Dash!
Rainbow: Cool!
Rarity: Don't worry Dash our project will be fabulous!
Rainbow: (sarcastically) Great.
Professor Discord: Miss Pie will be paired with….Vinyl Scratch.
Pinkie: Oh boy! I get to be with the DJ.
Vinyl just nodded.
Professor Discord: And finally it seems like Miss Apple will be with Mr. Shadow.
Applejack: Well isn't that nice Shadow.
Shadow: Yea. We are pretty lucky.
Pinkie: Oh excuse me professor!
Professor Discord: Yes Miss Pie.
Pinkie: Ugh…what are you doing?
Professor Discord: Oh….well I'm glad you asked. This is a family tree project where you and your partner will make a visual representation of your family trees, and then present your findings to the class. This is worth 20% of your grade this semester, so take it seriously.
The bell then wrong.
Professor Discord: We will start working on this tomorrow. This evening I suggest that you start researching.
Applejack: Say why don't ya come on over later so we can start on my half of the project.
Shadow: Sounds good. You can ride home with me.
Applejack: Alright see you then.
It is now lunch time and Shadow is sitting with Applejack and the girls along with Flash Sentry.
Flash Sentry: I am so lucky that I don't have Discord as a teacher. Miss Cheerlie's class is so much easier. You guys got the rough end of it.
Fluttershy: He isn't…so bad…
Rarity: Well he certainly is a...Interesting...teacher that's for sure.
Shadow: So Applejack….I wanted to ask you something.
Applejack: Oh anything Shadow. Go ahead.
Shadow: Well I wanted to ask that we do my part at my house sometime this week. I just want to keep it private.
Applejack: Well that's fine with me. I understand.
Sunset: It's going to be weird for me since well…you guys know.
Rainbow: Don't worry about it.
Shadow: What happened?
Sunset started to frown.
Flash: Ugh let's not talk about that. (Whispers to Shad) Don't mention it to her. It makes her feel bad.
Shadow: (whispers) Alright. I won't.
The bell rang singling the end of lunch.
Rarity: Well it's time for gym class. Pinkie Pie, Sunset let's go.
Pinkie: Okay Dokie Looky
Sunset: Right behind ya.
Applejack: Rainbow it's time for History.
Rainbow: Aw. I hate that class.
Shadow: I have chemistry next with Flash.
Fluttershy: Ok..I'll just go..alone…then..to Geography.
The group dispersed. After a long day at school Shadow was at the front of the school in his car waiting for Applejack. He then saw her running towards him.
Applejack: Sorry..I was late. My darn locker just wouldn't close.
Shadow: It's fine. Let's go.
Applejack: Wait! Would ya mind waiting just a bit more for my little sis. Please.
Shadow:…..fine.
After a while with Applebloom secure in the car, the three went to the apples house. Applejack and Shad went into the living room to start their research. The two looked through all of the Apple family's old scrapbooks to find the family information. Granny Smith told them some of her stories too. After a long afternoon of work Shadow decided it was time for him to head home.
Shadow: Well we made some good progress today.
Applebloom: You sure did.
Applejack: Well I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Shadow: Yea. Well night girls
Applejack and Applebloom: Night Shadow!
Shadow left the house, and drove home. He then went straight into his room without saying hi to his sister or grandfather. He face planted himself in his bed.
Shadow: What am I going to do? Should I tell APPLEJACK the truth about me and my family? Or do I lie to her face. Something I know she doesn't appreciate. What should I do?
Shadow closed his eyes and fell to sleep.
