Lodestar Gymnasium
The gymnasium was reserved at the moment for the Freshmen and Sophomore competitors for each school. All glaring at one and other; as always.
The School Presidents for each school; Roseluck and Royal Pin. Along with the coaches who had trained and prepared their respective teams.
"Welcome, Crystal Prep to this year's Friendship Games," The President of Lodestar got the ball rolling with introductions, "This year, we are seeing some returning faces from Crystal Prep to Lodestar High," She then mused in her head, "And that Royal Pain in the Ass that is your Class President..."
"Along with that we are also welcoming this year's Freshmen into this whole school event fold," Royal Pin continued, "Now, remember. These games are all in good fun and the point is for everyone to enjoy themselves," He then mused in his head, "Which is gonna be a challenge for me when you have Rosebimbo standing next to me..."
The Principal nor Dean was at Lodestar today; Obviously, we knew that Sugarbelle took up coaching duties this year, and it was a tradition that the school principal headed over to the rival school to greet their principal.
Classes were also out for just this day, allowing the students to watch the Friendship Games play out; a nice little break from exams.
And speaking of students...

"I can't believe you actually wanna talk to me..."
Sunny Seed (Applejack's cousin) and Fluttershy (Flash's brief partner in crime-whom they share a very estranged sort of relationship)...
Flash was on the roof as always, I mean it was an escape from all those belligerent students.
"Yeah...well, I kinda have no choice..." Flash said, looking kind of indignant right now, "I mean with you running around knowing a little too much about me."
Fluttershy frowned, "Listen, about our last argument-"
"It's fine..." Flash said, sucking up to his pride, "Because as much as it kills me to say this. We have to get along. Especially given what happened with Starlight Glimmer," He looked up at her, looking a little concerned, "Please say you haven't told anyone else about that whole thing. Not even your parents."
"I haven't..." She murmured hastily, "But...still it's hard to keep something like this under the wraps."
Sunflower Seed just stood there confused, because as you can guess. She has no clue what the heck these two were on about, "Starlight...who?"
Flash sighed, "Last month, me and...her got sucked into this Nightmare world dreamt up by this seven-year-old kid. It was some random Nightmare virus."
...
"Ah...see...Ah think?"
"Why is Sunny Seed here, too?" Fluttershy asked, "She wasn't a part of that dream."
Flash sighed, this was exactly why he decided to make himself talk to Flutters.
"Okay...what I'm about to tell you. Is something I have not told anyone else, and something I'm trying to figure out how to say...But you can't tell anyone else about this."
Fluttershy's eyes lidded, "Why is it that whenever you ever want to tell me something, it always has to remain a secret."
"I don't know; why is it that Canterlot kept me being an alien a secret?" He deadpanned. He sighed and shook his head, "Look. Just promise me you won't tell anyone else. Not even Applejack."
This was definitely piquing her attention, I mean the need to suddenly be so secretive about something else. Something Sunflower seemingly was in on for some reason.
"Okay..."
"Okay." Flash cleared his voice, "Listen, I was the guy who freed Appleloosa up."
...
Yeah, that was about as blunt as he could possibly get.
Her eyes slammed wide open immediately, and she was about to scream. But Flash quickly placed his index finger above his lips.
"SHH! Don't even peep! He sternly said, "...After I found out I was an Alien. I decided to just leave Canterlot for a bit to...clear my head and figure things out. I didn't have a clear roadmap specifically and just flew off wherever I wanted, and I ended up in Sunny Seed's town Appleloosa. Which was controlled under a gang and then this whole thing happened where I volunteered to help them out and then I...I told her family I was an alien too; but obviously, they didn't tell Applejack and you can't tell Applejack because I promised Aunty Sugarbelle I'd tell Applejack because apparently, she's marrying her older brother and...and yeah..."
Sunny Seed nodded, "He's bein' honest. Ah can vouch for him on that."
Yeah...

(ㅤOㅤO)ㅤㅤㅤ(lㅤlㅤ)ㅤ(TㅤTㅤ)

I think that image speaks for itself right there.
"And you want to keep that a secret too?"
"At least for a bit. I need to find the perfect time to say it. And uh..." Flash shot her a pretty blunt state, "She hates me...and the rest of her family who was already here in Canterlot. So I haven't that opportunity yet."
"A-huh..."
"Ah know, it's a little overwhelmin' with him," Sunny Seed commented.
Things were already looking good, he didn't tell her one bit about the Dragon Balls. And managed to at least give her 99% of what was going on. Even if Fluttershy knew about some things her friends didn't. Flash couldn't risk the secret of the Dragon Balls getting out into the public. Or the fact that up until now, he was the only guy to actually activate and has the tool to get to them.
The conversation could have continued from there. But the P.A went off just then.

First Event: Chemistry Chef
The Freshmen teams were opposite of each other. All glaring at each other (as always).
Especially Flash Sentry and Jet Set. Who after that argument from earlier...they really did not want to lose to each other. And were determined to beat each other.
The Chemistry teacher, Quad Cubane. A man with grey slicked back hair and a prominent beard. Was the host of the first event.
"Dear Freshmen. Welcome to the 2013-2014 Friendship Games. I am Mr. Cubane, and for some of you here at Lodestar. There's a chance you'll end up in my homeroom next year."
The guy was nice, deep down though he was like everyone else when it came to Flash Sentry. But, he did his best to just ignore the Saiyan.
Speaking of the students. They all wore lab coats, gloves, goggles the whole safety get-up.
"This event is simple. You are all to make Ice-Cream with Liquid Nitrogen in thirty minutes. The task is to make something that is both edible and creative." He then summoned a small little hover-bot, "PAL here is going to scan and make sure what you concoct is edible at all. If he beeps green, you're in the clear. If he beeps red, then you get a strike, And because you are to make 5 samples, if 3/5 are inedible, you're out."
Flash, in normal circumstances, would want nothing more than to be disqualified. But there was no way he could now. He did not want to be mocked by Jet Set of all people.
"This is done in pairs with one group of three in the mix. But if you fail to find a group at all...good luck."
Flash didn't really care about the group thing. He was perfectly okay by himself.
Or...so he thought...
"Uh...hey, Sentry."
Flash's eyes lidded with unamusement, "Oh great..."
Soarin', he just awkwardly approached him and struck up the opportunity for a lab partnership, "You wanna be lab partners?"
Flash sighed. If it hadn't been clear, he hated Soarin', in fact, if he was to make a list. It would go
People Flash Hates
Sunset Shimmer
Soarin' Skies
Rainbow Dash
Applejack
Twilight Sparkle
Pinkie Pie
Curly Winds
Wiz Kid
The list could go on...
But, I mean it's not like you could blame him. These were the people who despised him; along with the rest of the city. He wasn't gonna overlook that fact. Ever.
But right now...
He was gonna be honest if he complicated things right now. Then this whole team would be a mess.
"Fine..." Flash said, gritting his teeth. He got the ball rolling from there. There was no time to waste "What do you have in mind as a sample idea?"
"Well, I was thinking we pick an easy base like chocolate and from there we explore the topping bin and see what would be unique."
Each group was handed a container of liquid nitrogen. Along with two bowls and some general cooking ingredients, sugary toppings and a whole lot of other stuff that had to do with making Ice Cream.
They got to work from there. With Soarin' already having the first idea.
"Trail Mix, you can never go wrong with that."
Flash was already mixing some ingredients together. Milk, fresh cream, sugar, chocolate powder. And what Soarin' then added, some granola, dried fruit, nuts, shelled-covered chocolate the usual.
Sentry was focused, to say the least. He hadn't been in a lab in years...well in his last school they kinda banned him because he pulled too many pranks. But now, with his dignity on the line. He was not gonna throw in the towel.
Without actually thinking of his surroundings for a moment. He grabbed the heavy container of liquid nitrogen with a single hand and poured it into the bowl...
It didn't take long for him to realize that all eyes were on him-he had this odd feeling all of a sudden. Which prompted him to tilt his head up and look around.
Yeah...
Everyone looked at him a little shocked. Because to be fair, lifting up a metal container full of liquid nitrogen; a big container at that. With just one hand, As if it were a water bottle or something.
Even Jet Set was genuinely caught off by that.
"what?"
"Y-You just held that entire thing with one hand..." Soarin' simply pointed out.
Flash looked at the metal container, and caught on quickly, "oh...shit!" He needed to make something up, and fast.
"Uh...I had a muscle...spasm. Impulse...yeah."
He wanted to grimace, but also knew that there was also a camera that was live-streaming the event to the audience right now...
So yeah, that was not his best moment of obliviousness...
"Oh man, this not the time to be a dunce..."
ㅤ
Eventually, they got through the 5 samples. Just as the timer had run its course. So with that, the robot began to circulate the room and scan everyone's Ice Cream.
Of course, all the Crystal Prep students got passes and knew what they were doing.
Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare for example had quite the prideful look across their faces, feeling quite proud of how their samples turned out.
But, it turns out Lodestar had attained that same perfection of Chemistry as well...
Everyone on Lodestar's side was doing quite well so far. Well, everyone that had been graded so far.
Sunset, Twilight and Rainbow Dash were those groups of 3 for Lodestar and they had performed about as well as you'd expect. With their combined prowess and whatnot.
And that just left Flash and Soarin' as the last two. If they got those last five points; they would be tied with Crystal Prep. If they...totally fucked it up. And the person they'd be ready to point their finger at...
Mr. Cubane tapped his robot on the top of his head and knelt down to whisper something regarding Flash.
"Mr. Sentry is a sneak. So, if this is one of his little pranks, don't hesitate to execute harsh reprimandment."
PAL made his way to Flash and Soarin's concocted Ice Cream Samples, scanning each one. With all eyes on them from Lodestar and not to mention Jet Set's curious stare at the duo as well.
And luckily, they all passed the scanner and the samples were deemed edible.
"35 points for Lodestar Freshmen," said the scorekeeper.
Jet Set rolled his eyes, "So. He's not as dumb as he looks. Now I'm a little interested. Unless...I have the chance to mop the floor with him in the next event..."

So, this chapter was a little tougher to write. Primarily because...
It's not easy to improvise a song into this first part of the Friendship Games like the movie did. That and well, I really could not imagine this iteration of EG cast and OC's of mine to just break out into a musical. And I enjoy my happy-time musicals, let me tell you.
And, a little heads up. This is the only part of the Academic Decathlon I'm actually writing. Because I don't wanna waste another chapter with essentially some filler. And there is no easy way to actually to implement this into writing.
Again, the thing about the EG Friendship Games was the fact that MLP itself is able to implement catchy songs into an episode or a movie. And they used the movie to just briefly skim through the Academic Decatholon.
And it really sucks because I'm a nerd and I like academic stuff.
Anyway, you all know what the next chapter will be about. So, I'll see you all then...
