Chapter II: Shadow's crush
"So what are your classes?" Rainbow Dash asks
"It looks like I am heading to chemistry." Rage says looking at his schedule sheet.
"Well looks like you can tag along with me then partner we got the same schedule." Applejack says looking at his schedule
"How about you Sonic?" Rarity asks
"I got PE." He sighs
"Awesome me too!" Rainbow Dash cheers
"Uh Shadow?" Fluttershy asks "What do you have?"
"Uh…" he says looking at his sheet "I have…algebra."
"Oh…" Fluttershy says "Rarity…"
"Yeah I can show him the way I have it too." She replies
"So what time does the bell ring?" Sonic asks
"In about five minutes." Applejack answers "We should get going Rage, the chemistry class is a ways from here."
"Alright I am right behind you Applejack." Rage says as the two leave the room.
"Well we had best be off too." Rarity says looking at Shadow who nods and they leave the gym as well.
"What about us Rainbow Dash?" Sonic asks
"We don't have to go anywhere." Rainbow Dash says "You Flutters and I."
Meanwhile with Rage and Applejack the two were walking down a hall before turning into the science room and taking a seat next to each other. "Hay Applejack has Sunset always been the way she is?"
"Eeyup that girl has been mean as a bucking bull in a rodeo since middle school." Applejack replies
"Huh." Rage says thinking,
"Hay." The kid in front of Rage and Applejack says to them and the two look at him. It was Flash Sentry "I saw the way you stood up to Sunset Shimmer today and I gotta tell you… you're brave."
"Thanks?" Rage replies unsure of the words as the teacher walks in and the class get quiet.
The next bell rings and the students are released for lunch. Rage and Applejak meet up with Rainbow, Sonic, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Shadow. "So how were classes?" Rainbow asks
"Good but Rage here is a chemistry wiz." Applejack sighs "He even outsmarted the teacher on some stuff."
"It's a strong subject for me since my father was a Chemist and my second is technology my mother was a computer tech." Rage explains
"So what about you guys?" Applejack asks
"Sonic is pretty fast." Rainbow says "Kept up with me in a race."
"Algebra was killer." Shadow groans.
"It's only the first day of school how bad can it be?" Sonic asks. Shadow replies by showing him the homework paper he and Rarity were given "Oh…" Sonic says looking it over as the group goes into the lunch room and sits down to eat.
"Hay have any of you guys seen Sunset Shimmer since this morning?" Rainbow Dash asks and they all shake their heads
"That's strange because normally she'd have done something by now." Pinkie Pie says
"Is that a bad thing?" Rage asks
"I don't know." Applejack answers "But it sure sounds pretty darn strange."
"You don't think she could be planning something big against Rage here do you?" Rarity asks
"Why would she do that?" Sonic asks
"That's right you two weren't here." Rage sighs "This morning Sunset did something and soaked Rainbow Dash with water. So I stepped up and defended Rainbow Dash. Sunset tried to beat me up…"
"And you beat her up instead." Shadow finishes for him and he nods,
"That would give her a good reason." Fluttershy says softly before Sunset's voice was heard
"You got my lunch money?" she asks and the eight look over to see her holding a brown haired girl by her white top shirt. Her small pink skirt had coved some of her thighs and long pink boot covered up to her knees. Her pale green eyes looked in fear at the fiery girls gaze. Behind Sunset were two large looking boys, probably football players.
"Come one guys." Rage says looking at Sonic and Shadow as they stand up
"What are you thinking now?" Rainbow Dash asks "Those two guys could clobber you."
"Don't worry Rainbow Dash." Sonic says with a grin "We know what we're doing."
"Hay!" Rage calls as they walk up and Sunset puts the girl down looking at the three.
"Oh it's you." She says with a hint of hate in her voice "Got some friends I see."
"I told you before." Rage begins looking at Sunset dead in the eyes "You have no right to pick on anyone and expect to get away with it."
"Really?" Sunset asks "What are you going to do about it Rage?" she taunts
"Same thing I did last time." Rage replies "If it's necessary."
"Hmph." Sunset says pointing her finger and the two behind her step up.
"I'll handle this." Shadow says before leaping at one and hitting him in two spots at the same time causing him to collapse then swinging around pinching the other in the neck making him pass out.
"Sunset Shimmer…" Rage smiles
"Game over." Sonic finishes
"You three are going to get it someday just you wait!" Sunset Shimmer jeers walking off
"Thank you." The girl says "You three are awesome."
"No problem." Sonic smiles
"Especially you." She says to shadow looking at him "The way you took those two down was awesome."
"It was nothing." Shadow says hiding a blush
"My name is Rebecca." She says with a small blush at the three.
"My name is Shadow." Shadow greets her
"I'm Sonic." Sonic smiles
"Name's Rage." Rage says with a wave "Rage Chaotic."
"Do you all have last names?" Rebecca asks
"No only Rage." Sonic replies
"Oh…" Rebecca says "C-can I come sit with you guys?"
"Sure I don't see why not." Rage answers "You guys have a problem with it?" he asks the two and they shake their heads.
"Thanks I'll go get my lunch and come find you." She says walking to the lunch line as the three head bck to the table where the other five were sitting.
"Someone has a crush." Sonic teases Shadow
"Do not." He objects before blushing looking at Rebecca again "Okay… I do."
"Who Rebecca?" Rainbow Dash asks
"You know her?" Sonic asks
"Not much but she tends to be Sunsets other main victim." Rarity answers
"Well she's going to come eat with us." Rage says
"Well that's good. She could use it." Rainbow says
"How nice." Fluttershy smiles "I heard she was a little shy herself." Rebecca then comes over and sits in the seat next to Shadow.
"Thank you guys for letting me eat with you." She says
"No problem." Rainbow smiles "You know if we all stick together I bet Sunset will have to go find others to pick on."
"Yeah and then we'll keep on her until she gives up." Sonic chuckles "Even if it takes us through senior year."
"Well we should probably finish up since lunch will be over in a few minutes." Applejack says "Yall want to meet in the barn back on my farm afterschool?"
"Sounds cool." Rage says
"We normally meet there every day anyways." Rainbow Dash says "I can lead you guys there."
"Really that would be cool." Sonic says
"Alright." Shadow says and Rage just replies with a nod.
To be continued
A/N: Thank you for the great reviews for the first chapter! I didn't think it would go that well but you guys proved me wrong. I would like to thank Phinbellagirl 15 for Rebecca. Also I think I am going to do some character parings. Sonic and Rainbow Dash for some classic SonDash. Shadow and Rebecca. And I am not sure who Rage would pair up with. If you have any suggestions on who please let me know. Also should I add the Equestria Girls version of Twilight or leave it as is?
