After calming down, they realized that they must get to class soon, and they didn't want to be late on their first day. Rainbow Dash realized that neither Applejack or her had any sort of schedule or timetable, so they didn't know where to go. Rainbow Dash decided to ask Fluttershy about it. Celestia had mentioned a student that could help them.

"What class do you have now? I don't have my timetable, but Celestia said that we need to find a student called Rarity. Principal Celestia has said that she has the same timetable as us, and that her handwriting is very pretty, so we can print it later on at the library. For now we have to get to class, but I don't know anything else about Rarity. Do you know her Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Um, I have math now, I don't know Rarity, but I have heard her name around the fashionistas a few times. They usually hang around the lockers before class. I think that they may be in the left corridor" answered Fluttershy "If you'll excuse me, I have to get to class, or else the teacher will punish me. If you would like, we can meet later on in the cafeteria and talk over lunch. Um, only if you want to, you- you don't have to if you don't feel like it" said Fluttershy, lowering her voice after each sentence as if she was in trouble.

" Great! See ya later!" said Applejack and waved, while Fluttershy ran towards her classroom.

" Well, let's go find this Rarity" said Rainbow Dash and her and Applejack turned to the left towards the lockers.

They were chatting about how big the school was, and about who Rarity was, when they both bumped into someone and fell down hard on the solid floor tiles. A tall girl walked up to them and helped them get up. She had pale, white skin, and cerulean blue eyes with lots of mascara and baby blue eyeshadow. She had long, purple hair, with violet areas and highlights. She was wearing a ton of make-up and she was dressed as if school were a party. She was wearing a tight, purple mini-skirt and a baby blue blouse with puffy sleeves. Her shoes were very tall high heels, and she had lots of jewelry. She definitely fit the elegance of the fashionistas.

" Oh, my, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you. Are you alright?" asked the girl.

" Yes, we're fine. Who are you?" asked Rainbow Dash, brushing her sporty jacket.

"Introductions! I'm Rarity. I love fashion and glamour" said Rarity.

"I'm Applejack, and this is my friend Rainbow Dash. We're new here, and we were actually looking for you. Principal Celestia told us that your timetable is the same as ours, and that we have to print it later at the library" answered Applejack and slimed.

"Well, I have it right here. Let me check it quickly" said Rarity as she passed lots of beautifully decorated pages of a book "I have English Literature for the first two periods. We should hurry, Mrs Cheerilee is very nice, and you don't want to give her a bad impression on your very first day" explained Rarity. Just as they were about to leave, Rarity gasped. The other two looked worried " Rainbow Dash, how can I have not noticed this before, you look dreadful! You are wet and dirty, your clothes are ruined and your hair... has seen better days. I must fix this. I'll only take a minute"Said the fashionista.

And then, without warning, she took out some make-up from her locker and a spare T-shirt and moved at supersonic speed updating Rainbow's "dreadful" look. Within seconds, Rainbow Dash looked presentable, her hair was neatly brushed and her clothes were cleaner.

"That 's much better! Now, follow me to the classroom" said Rarity and ran to the right.

They made it to a big green door with a tiny sign that read: Class 205. "That must be the place" thought Rainbow Dash to herself.

Classroom 205 at Canterlot High School exuded an air of studious tranquility. The walls, adorned with colorful posters celebrating classic literature and inspirational quotes, provided a welcoming backdrop for learning. Rows of desks, neatly arranged in a semi-circle facing the teacher's desk, awaited the arrival of students eager to delve into the world of English literature.

The room was filled with the soft hum of anticipation as students trickled in, chatting amongst themselves in hushed tones. The scent of freshly sharpened pencils and crisp paper lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of chalk dust and old books.

At the front of the room, Miss Cheerilee, the English literature teacher, stood poised and ready to begin the day's lesson. With her warm smile and enthusiastic demeanor, she welcomed her students with open arms, eager to inspire them with her love for the written word.

As the final bell rang, signaling the start of the class, the chatter in the room subsided and all eyes turned towards the front. Miss Cheerilee cleared her throat and began her introduction.

"Good morning, class," she began, her voice ringing out with a melodic tone that commanded attention. "I hope you're all ready for another exciting day of exploring the wonders of literature."

She paused, scanning the room with a fond smile before continuing. "Before we dive into today's lesson, I'd like to take a moment to introduce two new students who will be joining us today."

The classroom buzzed with curiosity as Miss Cheerilee gestured towards the door, where two figures stood nervously. "Please give a warm welcome to Applejack and Rainbow Dash," she announced, her voice filled with warmth and encouragement.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash stepped into the room, their eyes darting nervously around the unfamiliar surroundings. Applejack, with her down-to-earth charm and no-nonsense demeanor, offered a shy smile as she greeted her new classmates. Rainbow Dash, brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, flashed a cocky grin as she scanned the room, eager to make her mark.

"Hi, y'all," Applejack said with a small wave, her accent hinting at her southern roots. "I'm Applejack, pleased to meet ya."

Rainbow Dash followed suit with a casual nod, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Hey, I'm Rainbow Dash. Can't wait to see what this class has in store."

Miss Cheerilee smiled warmly at the newcomers, her heart swelling with pride at their courage. "I'm sure you'll both fit right in," she reassured them, before turning back to the rest of the class. "Now, let's get started, shall we?"

As the lesson progressed, Miss Cheerilee assigned a group project to her students, pairing them off to work together. To Applejack and Rainbow Dash's surprise, they found themselves assigned as partners, much to their mutual happiness.

"Alright, class," Miss Cheerilee announced, her voice ringing out with authority. "For today's assignment, you'll be working in pairs to analyze a piece of literature and present your findings to the class. You have to read Pride and Prejudice, and search about all of its parts, references, meanings, anything that you think is interesting. You have to write it on a piece of paper, which you can decorate with anything that you like, and present it to the classroom on Friday. Work very hard and give it your all, since the best pair will receive an automatic grade of A+ in class work, which will be key to get a good grade at the end of the semester. The best work will also be exposed in the corridor for other students to admire. Since there is still class left, you can start dividing the work and search for information. Remember, you can also use dictionaries or other books to make sure that everything is spelt correctly" Said the teacher and walked back to her desk.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash got to work immediately. They whipped out their laptop and searched for the book to download and read it. After working for forty minutes, the bell rang. It was finally lunch break. They agreed to meet later on at Sweet Apple Acres to keep working on the project. They happily exited the door and went towards the main hall. Then, out of nowhere, someone grabbed Rainbow Dash's arm and pulled her to a dark corner. The girl, who was secretly Gilda, pinned her to the wall and slapped her a few times. She laughed very hard, and caught the attention of some other students that passed why. She hid behind Rainbow Dash, covering her mouth as she tried to escape.

"Stop it! Let me go!" Said Rainbow Dash, her voice muffed by Gilda's hand.

"Not until you pay for what you did earlier" answered Gilda and punched Rainbow Dash in her lower abdomen, causing a lot of pain to the Rainbow haired girl

"I didn't do anything" Said Rainbow Dash

"Yes you did. You told the principal that I was "hurting" Fluttershy. You tattletale-" Said Gilda and punched Rainbow Dash in the face.

"I swear! It wasn't me!" Said Rainbow Dash and winced from the pain.

"Of course, then who did?" Shouted Gilda and hit Rainbow Dash again.

"I did" Said a girl who Rainbow Dash didn't know.

"You, how dare you betray me, we were friends! I helped you when your parents were in jail for fraud!" Shouted Gilda at the top of her lungs.

"No, you didn't. You convinced your dad that my parents were frauds, and he bribed the judge to send them to jail. Besides, you never were a real friend, you treated me as your slave and made me do everything to you. I'm not your friend!" Said the girl. She had red and yellow hair and was dressed in black and fuchsia pink clothes. Next to her was a shorter girl. She had very curly pink hair and light blue eyes. She was wearing a puffy skirt and blue mary janes. They seemed very nice. The first girl lifted her arm defensively and called out Applejack's name. Soon after, Applejack came running. She was very worried, she had been searching for Rainbow Dash and she couldn't find her. She saw how she was being held and the bruises all over her body and she snapped.

"Stop hurting people, Gilda. You have no right to just waltz around bullying students who don't deserve it. Please, let go of her. Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie just did what was right" Said Applejack. She knew them because she bumped into them while searching for Rainbow Dash.

Gilda laughed and grinned evilly.

"Promise me that you won't tell anyone and I will let go of her."Said Gilda and smirked towards where Applejack was standing.

"Fine" Said Applejack and shook Gildas hand. Immediately, Rainbow Dash was free and started to cry because of her wounds.

"I've got ya' " Said Applejack, lifting Rainbow Dash up and helping her move to the nurse's office. A kind woman helped Rainbow Dash and tended her wounds. They explained what had happened, and she was very worried. She told them that Rainbow Dash would actually need to be in a wheelchair for three days. Applejack immediately offered to push the wheelchair, and they exited the office. They made it to the cafeteria.

Canterlot High School's cafeteria was a bustling hub of activity, a vibrant melting pot where students from all walks of life came together to refuel and recharge amidst the chaos of the school day. Located at the heart of the campus, it served as a social epicenter, buzzing with the lively chatter of students and the tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared food.

As students streamed into the cafeteria, they were greeted by the sight of long rows of tables and benches, filled with laughing friends and animated conversations. The air was thick with the scent of sizzling burgers and fries, mingling with the aroma of steaming pizza and savory soups. It was a tantalizing symphony of flavors and aromas that beckoned students from all corners of the school to come and indulge in the culinary delights on offer.

At the center of the cafeteria stood the main serving area, a bustling hive of activity where students lined up to choose from a wide array of delicious options. From the comfort food classics like macaroni and cheese and chicken tenders to the more exotic fare like sushi and stir-fry, there was something to satisfy every craving and palate.

The food stations were a riot of color and variety, with trays of freshly baked bread, crisp salads, and piping hot entrees beckoning students to pile their plates high with mouth-watering delights. The salad bar, in particular, was a veritable cornucopia of fresh produce, with an array of crisp greens, colorful vegetables, and tangy dressings just waiting to be mixed and matched to create the perfect salad masterpiece.

For those with a sweet tooth, the dessert station was a veritable paradise of sugary delights, with trays of freshly baked cookies, gooey brownies, and creamy soft-serve ice cream tempting students to indulge in a sweet treat to round off their meal. And for those looking for a healthier option, there were fresh fruit cups and yogurt parfaits available, providing a guilt-free indulgence for those watching their waistlines.

But it wasn't just the food that made the Canterlot High School cafeteria such a popular destination – it was the atmosphere of camaraderie and community that pervaded the space. Students gathered around tables, swapping stories and sharing laughs as they enjoyed their meals together. It was a place where friendships were forged and memories were made, a sanctuary of sorts amidst the chaos of the school day.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy made it to an empty table and sat down. Applejack pushed Rainbow Dash towards the food area and they both chose tasty food to enjoy. They introduced themselves to everyone and had a great time eating and discussing things that they like and do every day. As the break passed, they formed an incredible bond, and inseparable friendship. They had so much in common, and so many differences at the same time.

As the lunch period drew to a close, the cafeteria gradually began to empty out, the sounds of laughter and chatter fading into the background as students dispersed to their next classes. But the memories of the delicious food and the warm sense of camaraderie lingered on, a comforting reminder of the joy and connection that could be found in the simple act of breaking bread together.

Just then, the doors swing open, and a student shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Help! Help! There is a flood in the library!"
