It was early afternoon at the girls dormitory, just after classes for the day ended, and four girls were outside talking. At least one of them were doing most of the talking. "No wonder your parents send you away." The filly said. "They must be so ashamed at having such a weak earth pony in their family. To think that the Stonemason name had to be shared with a pony like you. Don't you think so Posh?" "Totally so Ritz." Her friend answered her. "That's not true!" The young Ever spoke up. "Leave her alone!" "What's that? Did I hear something Posh?" "It was the little orphan Ritz, she spoke to you." "Really? Did you forget your place orphan? You don't speak to me. Or do you want me to tell the Principal that you're a little rebel as well?" Ever took a step back and her eyes fell to the ground. "Yeah, I didn't think so." Ritz said with a sneer. "Stop it!" An orange pegasus with a wild mane landed between the two groups and the two bullies jumped back. "Leave them alone!" "I know you." Ritz said after regaining her composure. "You're the new girl, Tornado Spring. You're pretty popular for a new girl. Listen, these two aren't like the rest of us. If you want to keep being popular you should stick with me." "You think making fun of other ponies makes you popular?" Tornado asked. "No. Our family status makes us popular." Ritz replied. "Just like your dad makes you popular. And trying to stand up for a couple of lesser bred ponies will make you very unpopular and I'm sure your dad wouldn't like that. So best stick with us and keep daddy happy, right?" "My Dad would pull out my feathers if he knew I was hanging out with a couple of bullies!" Tornado told them. "Now leave them alone or else!" "Oh please. Did you hear that Posh? The little barbarian thinks she can order..." Ritz didn't finish her sentence before Tornado jumped her and a fight erupted which quickly drew the attention of other ponies and soon some of the teachers rushed over to break it up.

Cloud was walking through the schoolyard when the fight broke out. He had a large book balanced on his back and two full saddlebags to help keep it balanced. He rolled his eyes as he wondered how someone so undignified could get into this school. He continued on well after the adults showed up to stop the fighting and sat down to read the large book while he waited for classes to start.

ooc: Just two things that I mentioned in my post. Classes already ended for the day and Cloud walked pass the girls dormitory. No biggy, just thought I'd mention that.
Ever and Mith sneaked off quietly as one of the teachers led Tornado and the two bullies away. As they continued to the dorm house Mith caught site of Cloud reading his book and didn't look away until they entered the building.
"I can't believe this! Not even one week and you're already in a fight!" Principle Tularu said as she paced up and down her office. "And worst of all the girls had to be send to the infirmary. What am I going to tell their parents? Your father warned me about you, but I didn't think it was this bad." "Come on Principle Tularu! It wasn't my fault, they were asking for it." Tornado told her. "Be quiet! At least have the decency to show some manners if you can't show some restraint. Your father told me you were at least well mannered." "Dad can be a bit broad minded when he's talking about manners." The Principle shot Tornado a warning glance and she fell quiet. "What would my grandmother think if she saw me now?" She said looking at an old picture of a teacher in front a small school. "Well, you'll soon realize that your actions have consequences around here. You'll be cleaning the halls of your dorm for two weeks every day, including weekends. And I've also send a message to your father." "Not to Dad!" Tornado groaned. "Maybe this will teach you to think before you use violence to solve your problems. Now head back to your room and don't forget to take a bucket and mop from the supply closet." "Yes Ma'am." Tornado said as she left the Principle's office.

OOC: Then he was outside the girls dorm to avoid the guys I guess He still sat down and started reading. BIC: Cloud was flipping through the large book and reading at a good pace. He didn't have anywhere to be and not much work to do so he sat quietly and read in the shadow of the girls dorm.

Tornado ran into the girls dorm room and after a while found what she was looking for. She knocked on Ever's room door and soon both Ever and Mith opened their doors. "Hi!" Tornado greeted them. "So you two have rooms next to each other? That's so cool! I hope you're alright." "Um, yes." Ever said. "Thanks for your help, but you really shouldn't have. Now they'll just pick on you as well." "Ah, I can handle punks like those. I don't really care about them." Tornado said. "I'm Tornado Spring by the way. My friends call me Tor." "I'm EverShimmer and this is Mithrel. Pleased to meet you." Ever said. Tornado was waiting for more from Ever, but when nopony said anything else Ever turned to go back in her room. "Mind if I come in?" Tor asked. "Well, I..." Ever hesitated. "I haven't been here long and I haven't really warmed up to the place yet. My room is kinda boring." "Uh, sure. Come on in." Ever said and made room for her to enter. Mith was about to head in with them when she saw the colt still reading in the shade and headed outside instead.
When Mith almost reached Cloud she stopped. "Hi." She said, just loud enough to get his attention.

"Hmm?" Cloud hummed and looked up. He say Mith and set his bookmark in place to close the book, "Hello. Can I help you with something? Sorry if my presence is a bother, but it's quieter here then in the boys dorm." He quickly explained, assuming that was the reason for her coming up to him.

"Wow, you have a lot of gems." Tornado said looking around Ever's room. "Yes, they have sentimental value so please don't move them." Ever told her. "Sure, so, how did you end up here anyway?" Tornado asked. "I was send here by the orphanage I grew up in." Ever told Tornado with a tone that said that was all she was going to say about it. "That's cool." Tornado said. "My Dad send me here as punishment. He thought I was getting too rough in Cloudsdale so he send me here to become 'smooth around the edges', whatever that's suppose to mean."
"What are you reading?" Mith asked.

"Everything you've wanted to know about magic but were afraid to ask. Second edition." Cloud said as he ran his hoof across the front of the book.

"You're studying magic?" Mith asked.
"So what about Mithrel? How did she end up here? Have you been friends long?" Tornado asked. "We've known each other for a while." Ever said. "Her family send her over here since they didn't know if she'd be able to learn from them. I suppose they meant well. Wait!" Ever looked up. "Where's Mith!?" She ran out her room and into Mith's room and then out again. "There she is!" Tornado, who had followed after Ever, pointed through the window a Mith and the colt. Ever quickly ran down the stairs with Tornado following closely.

The young colt looked to the book, "Yeah. My life mission is to rescue my friend and to do that I need to know all I can about magic and teleportation." He then stood up, "Apologies, where are my maners. I've neglected to give you my name. I'm Cloud Nine." He held out his hoof.

Mith paused for a bit before reaching out for his hoof. "Mithrel." She said.

"Good to meet you Miss Mithreal." Cloud sat back down, "So are your friends going to hunt me down for talking to you? They seem pretty protective." Cloud said, putting up the large book and picking up a smallish book more focused on teleportation.

Mithrel was deciding if the colt was making fun of her when Ever and Tornado rushed up to them. "Mith! You should have told me you were going out, what if Ritz came back." Ever said out of breath. "Don't worry about them." Tornado said. "They have to stay in the infirmary for the day." "Really?" Ever asked surprised and also a little relieved. "Still, Ritz isn't the only mean pony in the school. Come on Mith." Ever said walking off. "Bye." Mith told Cloud and followed after Ever. Tornado was still as energetic as ever. "It was nice meeting you!" She told Cloud and followed after Ever as well, even though she never got Cloud's name or talked to him.

Cloud, remembering his manners, stood as the girls left, "What good friends. I've got a lot to learn." He said and stooped back down to dive into his books.

"If you don't mind me asking." Tornado said as they headed back. "Why do you let those bullies push you around?" "I'm weak." Mith simply said. "I... I don't want to make any trouble." Ever told Tornado. "I'm not a rebel. I just want to keep to my place. I am, just a regular pony." "Well I'm pretty strong." Tornado said. "And I don't mind getting into a little bit of trouble for you. So I'll look after you, okay? If anypony tries to mess with you just tell me and I'll set them straight." "I don't know." Ever said. "Look, it's no problem, I've already decided. I've got to go mop the floors, but I'll see you again tomorrow, right?" Tornado said as she started heading the other way. Mith elbowed Ever in the side. "Uh, Tor!?" Ever called out and Tornado turned back to them. "Thanks again for helping us. Not many ponies around here would." Tornado gave a big smile and waved at them as she flew off.

Cloud had read his book for a while before he noticed it was getting late. He gave a small yawn before closing up his books and making his way back to the Boys Dorm to get started on homework.

ooc: I'll jump to the next day. Cloud will probably work into the story slower than usual as I first need to get the three to become friends.
The next day in class Tornado was sitting at her desk as the teacher lectured the class on some subject or the other. She wasn't really paying attention and her boredom had her looking out the window and daydreaming. "TORNADO!" Came a loud bellow from the hallway that made Tornado jump under her desk in hiding. "Dad." She said hugging one of the desk's legs.
"Please Mr Storm." Principle Tularu said. "The children are busy with classes and you're disturbing them." "I flew through the night to get here after I received your message Ms Tularu. I'm missing a very important meeting as we speak, so you'll forgive me if I'm a little 'lively'" "Yes, of course." The Principle said and knocked on the door of Tornado's class. "We'd like to see Miss Tornado please." She told the teacher and Tornado crawled from underneath her desk and headed for the door and her dad.
Fifteen minuted later Tornado was still being lectured in the gymnasium by her father. "Fights! Fights! Fights! Is that all we can expect from you!" Her Dad said. "I didn't let you train with the best masters out there so you could become a thug! What do you think your mother is thinking right now? Discipline Tornado! Discipline and proper manners. How a dozen masters couldn't train that into you I have no idea. But that's what we expect you to learn here! That's why we send you here. What do you have to say for yourself?" "They were bullies Dad." Tornado said and he lifted an eyebrow. "They were picking on two girls, saying really mean things to them." "And there was no other way for you to handle it but by starting a fight?" "They tried to get me to join them." "I see." Her dad said and his tone softened. "Just, try not to get into any more trouble, alright? We're proud of your skills Tornado, but you must learn how to use them in the right way. This school will help you, I promise." "Thanks Dad." Tornado said and gave him a hug. "And the girls that was being bullied?" He asked. "I think I'm making friends with them." "Good." Her Dad said before turning to go. "I'll apologize to the parents of the girls you fought with. And don't slack off on your punishment, I expect the floors to shine when you're done." "Yes Dad. Bye." She said as her Dad left.

Cloud was sitting in class and wasn't all that interested in what the teacher was discussion either, weather. Sure every Pegasus was required to take this course but it didn't stop it from boring the heck out of him. The only times he paid attention was when the discussion drifted towards the other tribes and how they helped with the weather. Reminded him of his parents it did and the family business. One he was happy for but none too eager to join. OOC: Figured I'd throw something in here too.

After school Tornado caught up with the other two fillies. "Hi Ever! Mith!" She greeted them with a smile. "Guess what? I'm switching rooms with the girl next to Mith, so we're going to be neighbors!" "Hello Tornado." Ever greeted her. "That's, great, I suppose." "So what do you usually do after class?" "We, usually just hang out in our rooms." Ever told her. "Alright. Can I hang out with you?" "Sure." Mith was looking around for the boy she met yesterday. There was something about him that she found interesting.

OOC: It's fine if it's slow going It'll probably feel like it did when we first started about two years ago. But now we're battle hardened roleplayers. BIC: As was his norm, Cloud went to sit by the girls dorm in his normal spot. He was lugging around the same books as before, with the large book across his back. OOC: He's enroute figured that was better then he was always there.

When Mith saw the boy heading the same way they were she headed towards him. "I'll be right back." She told Ever before leaving. "Hi." She greeted Cloud once she caught up with him. Ever kept a close eye on Mith as she walked with Tornado.

"Hmm?" Cloud stopped and looked to Mith, "Oh, hello." He greeted with a smile, "Fancy meeting you again, though I suppose it was bound to happen with my frequenting the girls dorm like I do." he said and continued to his spot in the shade of the building.

"That is true. You are a pegasus?" She asked as a matter of fact.

Cloud sat the books down and looked at his outstretched wings as though to double check, "Yeah, seems I am." He said jokingly and sat down, "And you're an earth pony?" He asked her back in jest.

"Yes I am." Mith said, but not as a joke and really answering his question. "Why are you studying magic?"

"Because a friend of mine is depending on me. I can't help her if I don't learn everything there is to know and then go find her." Cloud said, rather serious as he looked to the books and pulled the large one closer.

"I see." Mithrel replied. "I have to go, my friends are waiting for me. Bye." She said and left to meet up with Ever and Tornado who was waiting for her at the door.

Cloud nodded as the girl left and once she was away he flipped open to his bookmark and began reading.

"Who's that?" Tornado asked when Mithrel joined up with them. "A boy you like?" "No." Mith said and they continued to their rooms.
