Within the following week, it was time to attend Canterlot High. Patrick drove Mo, Cherry, and Atticus over on their first day.
"Your new principal told me you should go to her office to get a schedule and locker number, I'll see you guys at 3:00." Patrick said to them.
"Thanks, Mr. Fudo." Cherry and Mo waved to him, they were dressed a little formal, but not too formal, they both wore dresses with short skirts and bows, blue for Cherry and lavender for Mo, she still had her bandanna on.
Patch popped his head out from the backpack, looking ahead at this school. It looked very big and fancy.
"Well then, let's get going." Atticus said.
Patch tried to keep quiet and hidden in Atticus's backpack as they went up to the doors and opened them with their hands and went inside, seeing students in a huddle, ready and anxious to get to class.
"Is it me or does everyone have rainbow colored skin?" Mo whispered.
"Don't be rude... But you're right." Cherry said as they tried to look for the woman in charge of the school.
They then saw a teenage girl with pink hair holding out fliers for the animal shelter.
"Help the animal shelter?" the girl asked with a very soft speaking tone of voice. She sounded very shy.
"Uhh..." Cherry took a flier.
"Maybe." Mo shrugged, but she smiled.
"We'd love to." Atticus said.
"Thank you so much, it would mean so much to me..." the girl smiled. "I don't think I've seen you three before."
"We just started today, can you help us to the principal's office?" Cherry asked.
"Just down that hallway and turn to the third door on the left." the girl explained, pointing a direction to them.
"Thanks." the three of them said before going there.
The three didn't get far as they now heard the girl say ow and something fall next to her.
Another girl fell within the crowd and the three of them decided to give her a helping hand. She seemed to even have a dog with her as well that was purple with green ears.
"Are you okay?" Mo asked as she helped this girl up.
"I think so..." the girl said, she was a little overwhelmed like she had never seen other humans before.
"Well, that's good, let's help her up." Atticus said.
"You sure you're okay?" Cherry asked.
"Uhh... Yeah, sure, I'm from here..." the girl backed up, unknowingly to a boy with orange skin with blue hair and a black jacket, then gasped as she fell again.
"Whoa!" the boy shut his locker door, then helped the girl up, she seemed to like his help better. "You okay?"
The girl quickly nodded, not saying a word.
"Hey, guys," the boy recognized Atticus. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get to class. Welcome to Canterlot High though."
"Thanks." Atticus said.
"Is that where I am?" the girl sounded surprised.
"We have to go, girl, we'll talk some other time." Mo said, leaving with Cherry and Atticus to meet the principal of the school.
"She seems different and I'm not meaning different like normal different, but different like she's from a different dimension." Atticus said.
"Probably why she's acting so funny." Mo shrugged.
Cherry knocked on the door.
"Come in." a majestic voice replied.
The three new students walked in.
"May I help you three?" the woman with rainbow hair with light lavender skin in golden clothing asked as she was writing on some forms.
"Yes, ma'am, we're the three new students and I think there's one more, but I think she'll be in here later on." Atticus said.
"I see... I am expecting someone else... This is important..." the woman sounded intense now. She looked out the door to see everyone else heading to class, but she saw the vice principal who seemed to be blue and purple, then let her in. "Meet Vice Principal Luna and I'm Principal Celestia."
"Sounds like those princess ponies on that new My Little Pony cartoon." Mo remarked.
"Indeed they do," the principal nodded. "There's a reason for that... I called you three here for a reason. I want you to help me make sure that the newest one gets the crown and that she can make it back home to Ponyville."
"Wait, you mean, that's real?" Cherry was shocked.
"Yes, it's an alternate dimension from our own, she came here after Sunset Shimmer, a former student of my pony counterpart's, I called you three here to help me help her, but without her knowing as she has to live like a human girl temporarily." the principal explained, assuring them this was no dream or crazy theory.
"You can count on us, maa'm. Wait, are there human version of Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash as well?" Atticus asked.
"Yes, they are, but they don't know," Celestia nodded. "Twilight Sparkle's dragon assistant Spike has also been turned into a talking dog. Can I trust you three to help me help her?"
Mo frowned a little. "It's strange... But I guess we could do it."
"Yeah." Cherry nodded in agreement.
"Right, just don't tell the human counterparts of the Mane Six until the time is right," Luna warned them. "As far as they're concerned, you three are just other new students in school with Twilight."
"Yes, ma'am, wait are they friends here as they are in the show?" Atticus asked.
"So far, I could only find that Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy do not get along," Celestia explained. "They all used to be friends before you all came, but something changed them."
"We don't know what yet though... Now, get yourselves to class, you'll be locker neighbors," Luna slid three papers with their names with new lockers and combinations for them with schedules. "You'll all also have the same classes. We're all counting on you."
"And you must help Twilight overpower Sunset Shimmer before she takes over all the universes possible." Celestia warned them.
"Yes ma'am." The three kids said as they saluted patch barked as his way of saying yes mam.
"I'm afraid dogs aren't allowed in school either." Celestia said with an amused smirk.
Patch whimpered.
"Please don't take him away to go back home." Atticus held the PUPPY protectively.
"We won't, but you might get in trouble... This way, he can be with you and he'll be more like you when you're in school and back to normal when he's away from school." Luna came up to the puppy and preformed some hidden magic onto his collar.
In a wave of an energy blast, Patch blinked his eyes shut, and he looked different now. He had short dark blonde hair with blue eyes, though he wore an eye patch over his right eye like his black patch that earned him his name, and he wore a black sweater with white spots with the red collar worn like a necklace, light gray pants, and blue sneakers.
"What did she do to me?" Patch whined. "I can't look..." he then opened his eye to see Cherry, Mo, and Atticus in front of him. "How'd you guys get all the way down here... and how did I?" he reached otu his paw to see a hand, he then looked in a mirror and gasped. He had been turned into a human!
"How in the world did you do that, ma'am?" Atticus asked the vice principal.
"How do you think?" Luna smiled.
"We're the princesses." Celestia added.
Patch felt very weird as a human. How was he supposed to walk around.
"I think someone needs human lessons before school lessons." Mo chuckled as she tried to help Patch, it would be like helping Junior talk, walk, and play.
"Agreed." Atticus said as he joined in to help Patch learn how to walk talk play and act as a human.
"You three better get going." Luna told them.
"I'll take you to class." Celestia volunteered to take them to their homeroom.
"Thank you, ma'am." Atticus said.
'This is going to be a challenge walking, like a human and everything, but I won't give up until I have succeeded.' Patch thought.
Celestia led Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch to the class.
"You know, you kinda look like a Bobby as a human." Mo said to the human Patch.
"Really?" Patch blinked.
"Yeah, I dunno why though." Mo shrugged.
"It would probably be good to have a fake name for your human identity." Cherry suggested.
"Yeah, you're probably right, Cherry," Patch said. "That way it will make me less suspicious."
"Right." everyone agreed.
"Hmm... What would be a good last name for Bobby then?" Cherry scratched her chin.
"Patches?" Atticus suggested.
"Bobby Patches, that's an interesting name." Celestia smiled to them, they were almost there.
"Yeah and besides, it fits him perfectly as a human." Atticus said.
Celestia took them to class and it appeared that Cheerilee as a human would be their teacher. Celestia explained the new students and it was a lot for new students to be joining. After the principal left, she winked to the four new humans and walked off.
"Well, class, we have four new students joining us," Cheerilee smiled. "Everybody, meet Cherry Butler, Monique Brown, Atticus Fudo, and Bobby Patches."
"Welcome to Canterlot High!" the students greeted them.
"I hope we can all get along nicely." Cheerilee smiled.
'Unlikely.' Cherry thought to herself as there were students of different ages in their first class and she recognized Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Atticus also recognized them this was his opportunity to teach those two a lesson but decided not to do anything to them especially sense it would get him in trouble for hurting students.
'Just stay calm, Atticus and everything should be just fine.' Atticus thought to himself as they began to make their way to their desks.
Cheerilee let the three students sit down. Mo was sitting in between Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Atticus and Patch were by Snips and Snails, while Cherry was with the Cutie Mark Crusaders; Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo.
'Oh, great, Cherry gets the Cutie Mark Crusaders while me, Patch, and Mo are stuck with the spoiled brat and her FRIEND and the two idiots.' Atticus thought to himself.
Luckily, this first class didn't last too long. When Cherry, Mo, and Atticus left class, they met togethr in the hall and were on their way to their next class, however, they heard one girl threatening another, but the other had a whispery voice. Fluttershy! Human Twilight was in the hallway as well, much to her surprise to see them again and they were going with her.
