Hey everycreature! What's up!?
So this chapter is simply going to be a repost of the testing chapter I did beforehand, but with changes obviously to reflect the story now!
Also, a bunch of you are saying that it will become the Young 7 from the Young 6 and that's true! I keep forgetting to say, but I'm making my own version of the series in this, I probably and most likely will reference episodes, but I wouldn't actually make them canon here!
Chapter 6: First School Day
So the day has come, Blooming Rose's official first day at the School of Friendship and being alone as well since today was also Drawn Pen's first day at his new job. Rose wanted very much to not go as she trotted besides her big brother who would take her to school before he went to his own job. The little red unicorn filly was scared as the school loomed larger and larger as the two siblings got closer to the entrance.
"You look nervous Rose." Pen noticing his sister's face. "Don't worry, I think you made a good impression on Principal Twilight and I know you'll make a lot of friends."
"I hope so, but it's just so scary." Rose replied in a fearful voice.
"You'll get used to it." Pen put on a smile as the two were now trotting on the stone walkway over the pond before the building, other students and the teachers going in to start another day.
At the door of the building was a pinkish female unicorn, with a purple mane, blue eyes, and a cutie mark with a star, who was apparently waiting for the two.
"Hello, you must be Blooming Rose." The female unicorn greeted the little filly besides Pen. "I'm guidance counselor Starlight Glimmer."
"Hello…" Rose greeted back.
"She's a little shy, it's her first day." Pen added. "It's good to finally meet you guidance counselor Starlight, but I thought Principal Twilight would be taking Rose to her first class."
"Well the Principal got busy with morning work, so she sent me in her place." Starlight answered.
"Well that makes sense, Princess Twilight is usually very busy." Pen replied as he remembered something. "That reminds me, I'm going to be late for my first day working at the town hall." Pen said quickly. "Now Rose, have fun and I'll be back when school ends to get you, alright."
"Alright…" Rose sighed as Pen gave her a quick good luck kiss on her head before leaving for his first day at his job.
"Okay Rose, I think you'll like your first class, it's with Professor Fluttershy, she's actually a little shy herself, but she's more assertive now." Starlight smiled and motioned for Rose to follow her.
As Rose came inside the school, the large, roomy entrance and hallways once again made Rose feel uncomfortable and tiny, even more so now without her big brother besides her as she followed Counselor Starlight to Professor Fluttershy's classroom. After a short trip through the building, the two arrived before the classroom door, Starlight knocking on it and a few seconds later was greeted by a little white bunny who opened the door and Professor Fluttershy, who Rose remembered from yesterday's tour.
"Hello Starlight, what can I do for you?" Fluttershy asked.
"This here is Rose, your new student, she'a little shy and nervous since it's her first day." Starlight introducing the little red filly.
"Oh yes, I remember you from yesterday, good to see you again little one." Fluttershy expressing her happiness and joy.
"She doesn't look that shy…" Rose thought in her head as Fluttershy stepped aside to let Rosef in.
"Well, it's time for me to return to my office, got some reorganizing to do." Starlight told Fluttershy before leaving, Fluttershy closing the door silently.
As Rose came in, unlike the entrance of the school, as she has seen yesterday, Fluttershy's classroom was more lively, definitely more welcoming as the room itself looked more like it was built in a forest, part of the classroom being structured with wood and filled with things for animals, plus it had an open wall with a balcony that let in cool air and fresh sunshine.
"Hello!" A rather loud voice welcomed Rose as she wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her, looking around the class, Rose falling down as she looked at the owner of the voice, who was a pony like creature. "What's your name?" The creature asked cheerfully.
"Silverstream, how many times do I have to say not to scare anyone?" Fluttershy stepping besides Rose as she addressed the creature in a soft, but assertive tone, who was a hippogriff.
"Sorry Professor Fluttershy, I forget easily." The hippogriff named Silverstream taking a step back.
"Now class, this here is Blooming Rose, she's a new student here at the school, so I expect everycreature to make her feel welcome." Fluttershy announced. "Now today, we'll be learning the difference between the spiders here in Ponyville and elsewhere."
"Spiders…" Rose said, starting to shake as she was afraid of those eight legged bugs, it was actually partly the reason why she got her cutie mark.
"Don't worry Rose, the first big difference is that the spiders in Ponyville are much nicer than elsewhere." Fluttershy holding up a spider. "This is Fuzzy Legs, one of my animal companions, Rose why don't you hold him?"
"Okay…" Rose replied, Fuzzy Legs jumping from Fluttershy's hoof to Rose's, scaring Rose a bit, afraid the eight legged creature would attack her, but of course he didn't, instead presenting a smile and a flower. "Thank you…" Rose replied slowly as she took the flower with her other hoof not holding the spider.
"Alright students, pair up and lets get on with today's lesson, Silverstream and Sandbar, why don't you two help out Rose." Fluttershy speaking to the hippogriff from earlier and a slightly greenish pony, with a green-bluish mane, and turtles as his cutie mark.
"Hi Rose, I'm Sandbar." The greenish pony introducing himself as every other student separated into their pairs.
"And of course you already know me." Silverstream adding.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you two." Rose replied as she tried to give a smile, Fluttershy seeing every student paired up and then gave the next steps.
"Alright students, now one of you ask the spider to politely make a web in order to protect you from your partner, who's going to pretend to be mean to you." Fluttershy giving the next instructions.
"Why don't I be the mean one?" Sandbar suggested. "Hey, watch where you're stepping, you made me down my cupcake!" Sandbar pretended to shout as Rose got a little bit scared.
"Fuzzy Legs, shoot your web!" Rose shouted, closing her eyes as her movement aimed the spider's web right into Sandbar's face, which clung onto the pony's face.
Silverstream began laughing as she tried to keep it in, seeing Sandbar's predicament, which caused Rose to open one eye and see what was so funny, which in turn made her start to laugh for real.
"You should see your face Sandbar." Rose said as Sandbar had an unamused look on his face.
"Not funny girls…" Sandbar said as he wiped off the web from his face.
"Maybe not to you, but for us it is." Silverstream agreeing with Rose.
"Having a little trouble I see." Fluttershy having come to see the progress of the lesson. "But I see that one of you is warming up, which is good." Fluttershy looking at Rose, which caused the little red unicorn filly to blush.
As the day went on, Rose came to enjoy her classes as she got to know her teachers and actually became friendly with Sandbar and Silverstream, so it actually wasn't a bad first day. As the school day ended in fact, Rose didn't want to leave, but she had to. As classes for the day were over, Starlight came and took Rose to the entrance, to wait for her brother, who did arrive, looking like he was galloping and out of breath, clearly he almost lost track of time while at his job.
"Sorry if I'm late Rose, the mayor wanted me to fix some mistakes last minute with some documents." Pen apologized as he got his breath back.
"That's okay, I actually really enjoyed my first day." Rose smiled.
"I heard she actually made a couple of friends." Starlight added, Pen clearly impressed.
"Well, wasn't expecting this, but I'm happy for you, now lets get home and rest, I'm tired." Pen told his little sister.
"See you tomorrow Rose." Starlight called as the two siblings started to trot back to their new house in Ponyville.
"You will!" Rose called back as she trotted very happily, almost prancing in fact as Pen could only smile at his sister's new happiness.
School was indeed going to be fun, and even thought Rose was still a little uncomfortable with how large the school was, she could at least be more comfortable with everyone else at the school. For next day she was in fact going to make even more friends.
Well hope everyone enjoyed this repost with changes of course!
Next chapter we're going to meet the rest of the Young 6!
Also, if you creatures can help, I would appreciate it if you could suggest lessons that each of the teachers would give in their classes!
See everycreature later!
