My Little Pony: Just Another Highschool Story
Summary: 16 year old Black Bolt is new to Cloudsdale Highschool. She meets Mist Rocker, a (cute!) teenage colt who loves to write and create songs and Colour Crayon, a spirited Pegasus mare. Will these three ponies survive the usual crushes, popular trouble, and (shudder) the Hearth's Warming Eve school dance? It's just another highschool story … right?
Hi! Hope you guys enjoy this new chapter! ALSO, I would like users to submit a female Pegasus/Griffon OC, because, there are too many colts. The chapter's concept is an old classic that never gets old. –NOTE: I try my hardest with this story unlike my others, so please give feedback!-
Chapter 10: The Seven Mysteries Of Cloudsdale High
Black Bolt's POV:
Bolt's School, at the roof:
"Pass!" Applecider said, trying to get Mist Rocker to pass him the ball. The guys were playing basketball, since the last class wouldn't start in a while. Good thing the school put basketball hoops on the roof for was a simple 3-on-3 game: Mist, Comet Strike and Applecider against Fight Squad, Leopard and Coldheart.
They were tied, both teams on 21. The mares and I were watching, but some of us were busy. Wolfclaw was busy reading The Pony Games, Opalite was solving the math homework, Colour was still eating her Sashimi (not wanting to share), and I was polishing my hooves in a dark grey tone.
"Here!" Mist said, throwing the ball, hitting the ground, and bouncing at Applecider. He quickly caught it and threw it to the hoop, but missed. The ball went against me and I dropped the nail polish on it, dirtying it. Now the orange and black ball was orange, black, and with huge drops of dark grey.
"My nail polish!" I said with a sad face, seeing my expensive nail polish on the ground, already half-emptied. I managed to save rest, but the ground and the ball now had a new colour. "It cost me 4500 ¥!" (It's the same as 45 dollars)
"Sorry 'bout that, Bolt." Applecider apologized, sweatdropping. "But now, the basketball has a new style." He picked up the ball.
"Hey, Opal." Fight cocked his head to the side, calling an irritated Opalite. "You mind switching with me? I'm getting a bit tired to continue."
"Ok. I never played but seems simple." Opalite said, taking the ball from Mist's hooves, and entering the still field, as Fight sat down, sweating a bit.
"You begin, Opal." Coldheart quietly interrupted, going to his position. Leopard was the one trying to steal the ball from Opal, standing in front of her.
"You won't get past me!"
"Don't have to." She answered emotionless, as the ball became outlined in light blue and began to float, astonishing everypony a bit. The funny thing was that Colour sent the ball through the sky, aiming for the hoop, but missed, and the ball went flying through the sky… never to be seen again. Everypony, including myself, sweatdropped, and just got the hell out of there, since we didn't want trouble.
"We are so dead!" Once the group and I were back in the locker hallway, Coldheart slumped against the lockers, defeated. Applecider facepalmed, Colour majorly freaked out because there was no Sashimi left and Wolfclaw … just kept reading.
Our teacher from our last P.E. class, Ms. Rainbow Dash, was back in business, and she is the responsible one for the sports equipment, and she is a real punisher. With a bit of luck, she would never discover it. We left with such a rush that Mist forgot his sunglasses on the roof. Remember those sunglasses I mentioned? From Chapter 1!
Everyone: BOLT!
Bolt: What?!
Daisy: The fourth wall, the fourth wall!
Bolt: Oops…
Applecider: You have to pay more attention in the future!
Leopard: If we break it too much, the author will use his personal squad to kick us out!
Bolt: Forgive me! Forgive me!
Coldheart: We could just deny it…
Fight: C'mon, what are you all afraid of?
Colour: … of that. *points at BlackBolt123, followed by Discord and the Changelings + Chrysalis*
Chrysalis: Changelings, ATTACK!
Discord: Awwww, it was just getting interesting….
Colour: RUN!
BB123: Now that that is over… Bolt, continue! Or no payment this month!
Bolt: Yes BB…
At night, Mist's POV:
Damn it! I had to walk back to school because I forgot my freaking glasses. The school is deserted… *sigh*… I went to the roof to the roof and quickly found my blade. But I noticed something very strange there… I looked to the hoop and noticed the ball next to it.
"Ms. Dash must have replaced it. But how did she know?" I went up to the ball and picked it up. I spun it to see it closely and almost freaked out by seeing the other side. I dropped the ball, scared as heck, and quickly got the hell out of there. I may have overreacted, but I flew home as fast as I could either way.
The next day, at school, morning, before the first class began, Bolt's POV:
"Hey, Mist! Finally you came." Cold smiled, waving at Mist Rocker, who had the face of somepony who didn't sleep at all.
"That's what she said." Fight Squad laughed, only attracting glares. He sweatdropped in regret.
"Bolt, you mind coming with me to the roof?" Mist asked, surprising me a bit. Not to mention everyone else.
"Sure." As soon as I answered, he grabbed my arm and ran up to the roof. I blushed a bit… The roof was the place most guys use for love confessions… but that was probably not the case. "Mist, why did you drag me here?"
"Look at this." Mist showed me the basketball. I didn't understand at all what he meant.
"What's the matter with the ball?"
"Look at the stain." He showed me the other side of the ball, showing the stain of nail polish from yesterday.
"Yes… You remember? Yesterday? Expensive nail polish?"
"But do you remember what happened next?"
"Yeah, Opal sent it… through the sky…" I now understood what he meant by that.
"No one but us knew about the ball, and it went flying through the sky."
"So… That means…"
"The ball came back on its own…" His sentence scared me a bit. How can a ball return on its own to the hoop? We took the ball with us and went back to the classroom.
"Just in time. What's with the basketball?" Fight Squad asked, as soon as Mist and I entered the classroom.
"Did any of you get the ball back from where only Celestia knows where?" Mist asked, showing the stain of the ball.
"No. Where did you find it?" Leopard asked, answering for everypony else too.
"Near the hoop." I answered.
"Impossible. You're saying the ball got back on its own?" Gemstone Canyon asked, taking the ball from Mist's hooves.
"Yeah, that's bull," Flash Sentry joined in, a bit of vagueness in his voice.
"I can't see any other way." Mist answered.
"Then let's make a test." Applecider said, taking the ball from Colour. "Let's put the ball near our desk. If it disappears during class and gets to the hoop, we panic. If not, we proceed with our lives normally with an unsolved mystery. Ok?" He asked. We all agreed to the plan.
Right after that, Mr Hawkeye entered the room. We sat down on our seats, in fear. We did as planned, and put the ball next to the table.
"Take out your notebooks. This lesson will be harder than the others." Mr Hawkeye was already exaggerating. Last lesson, we had to write a whole assignment just for Element Kick, Black Magic and Balloon Smile.
"Umm, Sensei."
"Yes, Miss Dreams?"
"I have to leave 15 minutes earlier to help Professor Luna. Here's the authorization." Daisy said, showing a signed paper to the Griffon teacher.
"Very well." Mr Hawkeye nodded, as he picked up the chalk stick, so he could start writing on the black board.
"SORRY I'M LATE! CHYU!" Sky Notes, my older alicorn (long story, I'll explain later) cousin dashed through the door, breathing heavily. She was late… again. Her light aqua mane which reached her hooves was a bit unkempt, due to the running, and her ocean blue eyes were a bit watery.
She was wearing her usual green cape over her wings, and her mane easily covered the fact that she was an alicorn. Her long thunder-shaped tail was curved, due to being tired.
"Sky, you can't say every time that you're sorry if you're going to do it again!"
"Watashi wa hijō ni zan'nen Hawkeye senseida!" she said, almost yelling (it means "I'm very sorry, Hawkeye-sensei!"), very nervous. She bowed and quickly sat down on her seat.
"Now, do all the exercises from 14 to 238."
"C'MON!"
That was… the toughest… class… ever! Well, at least Midnight made the clock move faster somehow. Maybe using Confusion. Either way…
"Apples, where's the ball?" I asked, approaching Applecider's table, along with Leopard, Mist and Comet.
"Right he- HOW IN THE NAME OF EQUESTRIA DID THIS HAPPEN?" Applecider sweatdropped, seeing that the ball had disappeared.
"What happened?" Colour asked, as she and Coldheart quickly turned around, alarmed by Apple's yelling.
"What happened dude?" Fight asked, followed by Midnight and Flash.
"The ball disappeared!"
"It isn't around here." Colour added, looking around the classroom, not finding any sign of the ball.
"To the roof!" Flash commanded.
-Five minutes later-
The roof, Bolt's POV (as usual)
"You must be kiddin' me!" Applecider said, finding the ball near the hoop again.
"Who would guess?" Colour asked, quite astonished, just like the rest of us.
AAAAAHHHHHHH!
"That seemed like…" Midnight said, turning to the door.
"DAISY!" Applecider quickly dashed away in a blur, as fast as the speed of light. Colour and I followed him immediately, as the others were still kind of in shock.
At the lab
We were finally here.
Applecider gave a deep breath and pushed the door open, peering into the classroom along with Colour and I.
"What happened?!" Applecider freaked out, pretty worried about Daisy. We looked inside and saw her on the floor, scared like if she saw some sort of ghost. The biology mannequin was standing right in front of her, in a creepy position.
"The mannequin… It… It moved by itself!" The grey mare said, pointing to the plastic doll.
"What do you mean?" Applecider asked, kneeling down, so he could be at Daisy Dreams's height.
"The mannequin was right there, on the other side of the lab. 'Turned around for a second, and when I looked at it again, it suddenly appeared right in front of me. I fell and screamed." Daisy explained, standing up, with the help of Applecider.
"You probably just moved it without noticing," Colour guessed, making the two Pegasi glare at her. Colour kept her emotionless face… but this time sweatdropped.
"It happened again!" Snowy Smile yelled, looking inside the next room, next to Gemstone.
Snowy Smile – she looks like her blind mother Snowdrop except with pink eyes, and she's a bit tall.
"What's the matter, girls?" I asked, as we closed the lab and approached our colleagues.
"Every time the class 9B leaves this room, well…" Snowy Smile moved away and showed us the big black board, written with multiple symbols which are considered satanic, including 666 and the six-pointed star created from two triangles, all written in red chalk.
"I guess it's just a prank." Applecider said, assuming the most plausible explanation.
"But janitor Digi is always on the hallway, and he says he doesn't see anyone even approaching the room." With what Gemstone had just said, this was getting really bizarre.
"Hmm… seems that there are mysteries around this school…" Applecider's detective side was being awakened. The worst possible situation was… "Guys, let's spend the night at school!" What Applecider just said shocked us. It was like he'd said we should turn into discorded versions of ourselves.
At night, near the school:
"Everyone's here?" Applecider asked, acting like the leader. We were indeed all here. Me, Daisy, Colour, Midnight, Comet, Coldheart, Mist, Leopard, Wolfclaw and Fight. "Good. From the rumours I've heard and collected, I found a total of seven mysteries."
"Seven?" Colour asked.
"The first mystery is the basketball that always returns to the hoop. The second one is about the moving mannequin from the lab."
"But that was just Daisy and her distracted mind." Colour said, deserving a punch in the head from Midnight. "Itai!"
"But there are some people that say that they've come here at night to grab some forgotten books, and they see the doll dash through the other hallways." Applecider explained, making Colour regret for insulting Daisy. "I don't really want to ruin the fun, so I won't tell what the other mysteries are. Let's separate to investigate."
"Is that a good idea?" Coldheart asked, quite concerned about the idea of separating the gang.
"Let's make small groups. It will be faster and better for all of us. So…"
Group nº 1: Bolt, Colour and Mist
"Why are we waiting here?" I asked, tired of simply being sat down on the bench of the roof.
"Colour has the ball, and we wait, to see if the ball does come here."
"Yeah, but this is getting boring. I thought I would be scared, but I'm not at all… stupid mystery."
"Well… we get to be together alone." Mist said, making me blush and my ears twitch.
Group nº 2: Comet Strike and Coldheart
"What do we have to do again, Cold?"
"We have to go to the art room and stay there…"
5 minutes later:
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
What happened in 5 minutes? O.O I'm the writer and don't even know. I have to admit, this getting pretty strange… Wait for all the answers and other mysteries ;)
How is it up until now? You have any request to make (you can send either character or an idea if you want to ^_^)? Who else will appear? Review, (really people, review it, please) favourite and read, ~ Bolt out!
