Friendship is a Game Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 - Orientation - Part 2 - Tour

Inside the principal's office, Celestia was reading over some papers while sipping her coffee when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." The door opened and in walked Twilight and Sunset. "Oh good. Have you two found anyone of interest?"

"We found two principal," Sunset said. "I managed to run into...Rarity's group during the tour and sensed power coming from this student." She sounded a little sad when she mentioned Rarity but produced a picture of Spike and handed it to Celestia.

"And from my group I found one person," Twilight said. "The interesting thing about him is that when I tried to mentally scan his mind, I was blocked somehow." That caught Celestia's attention.

"Are you sure?" Twilight nodded. "You do remember that guarding one's mind from probes like that is a high level skill. Especially from one as capable as you. Do you think he will be a danger to others?"

"No," Twilight said. "I've seen him interact with one of the others in the group. Not to mention…" She took a deep breath to calm herself down a bit. "When he saw how Rainbow and Fluttershy acted when we ran into their groups he came up and asked if I was alright. If he was a danger, I don't think he would've done that."

"Yes…" Celestia said sadly. "I know it has been hard on you to have this divide between you and your friends, but I appreciate you trying to find out who the dark presence around the school is."

"Have you come up with any further leads?" Sunset asked. The principal looked down sadly.

"No. Whoever it is has been masking their presence. I only noticed they were here when they attacked coach Iron Will in the locker room. He claims not to know who it was though. Sadly...the majority of the people who were here at the school at that time were…"

The two teens sighed. Rainbow had come to practice on the track with Fluttershy cheering her on. Applejack had been in the cafeteria with Pinkie setting up some of their lunch specials they wanted to make for the first week of school. And finally Rarity had been using the home ec sewing machine since the one at her shop had broken a few days before.

"Just keep an eye out. And stay strong." The two nodded and left the office as Celestia looked at the pictures of the two seemingly ability users that had enrolled.

Cafeteria

"You can't be serious!?" Sugar asked in shock, looking at the laughing Scootaloo and a slightly embarrassed Micro.

"I am! Fluttershy landed with her breasts engulfing Micro's head!" Scootaloo had taken to telling the newly made group of friends the full story of the incident that had happened during the tour.

"Can you keep it down?" Micro asked. "The whole school doesn't need to know and I don't want to embarrass her any more than what already happened."

"Tell you what," Scootaloo said. "I'll make you a deal." Micro was intrigued.

"Oh really? What?" He started drinking his soda as Scootaloo leaned forward so she could whisper to him.

"I will keep quiet if you tell me how you randomly appeared in the park on Saturday."

Micro gagged as the soda went down the wrong pipe. The others looked at him and Scootaloo in shock as he hit his chest to try and get back to breathing properly.

"Wha...What are you talking about?" He tried to play it off.

Bluff Failed!

"So you did just suddenly appear!" Scootaloo whisper shouted. Thankfully only the others at the table could hear. While Spike and Sugar looked confused as they didn't know what she meant, Sweetie and Applebloom sighed.

"Not this again Scootaloo," Applebloom said.

"What do you mean?" Spike asked. Sweetie was the one who responded.

"Ever since Saturday she says that she saw three boys just appear out of thin air in the park."

"And I heard their names!" Scootaloo grinned and she pointed to the boys in turn. "Sugar, Spike, and Micro."

"Can y'all just tell her what you were actually doing there before she continues with this ridiculous story."

"W...Well you see…" Sugar started stammering. Micro thankfully collected himself with the help of Gamer's Mind and started speaking.

"We like video games a lot and so we decided to start treating real life like it was a game during our free time. Going on quests, fighting bosses, that sort of thing. Scootaloo here just probably saw us at the tail end of our last session. We were out kind of late."

Bluff Successful!

Bluff Failed!

"You appeared out of thin air!" Scootaloo said pointing a finger at him. Micro could hear a bit of uncertainty creep into her voice. He hated lying but he couldn't just tell her about the ability users.

"I don't know what to tell you," Micro said.

"Yeah," Spike said coming into the bluff. "Maybe we just popped out from behind a piece of equipment?" Sugar didn't trust himself to speak so he just nodded. Scootaloo looked like she still wanted to protest but settled back into her seat.

"Fine," she huffed. Her friends rolled their eyes and apologized. Micro waved it off at the same time as dismissing a Bluff level up screen. As they continued to talk he checked his quest screen and saw that the bonus objective of orientation, make multiple new friends, had raised his current tally to 3.

'Scootaloo, Sweetie, Applebloom, and I guess Twilight didn't count yet,' he thought sadly. It would be harder to fix the friendship between her and the others if he wasn't yet her friend. 'Wait…'

"So do you two know anything about the issue between our tour guides?" Micro asked the other two girls. The looked up shocked for a second before looking down sad.

"I don't know," Applebloom said. "My sister just said that her friends Twilight and Sunset weren't being honest with them about something."

"Same," Sweetiebelle said. "Rarity said they weren't being good friends. Other than that I don't know what happened."

Micro didn't detect any lies from them and just nodded.

"Ok. I was just curious since Scootaloo here said your sisters were friends with them just like Rainbow Dash was." The table was silent for a moment before Sugar started asking about everyone's favorite candies. That started a debate between the group with Sugar and Applebloom defending their family's own creations.

"Sweet Tooth Green Apple!"

"Appleloosa Lickers!"

"Sweet Tooth!"

"Appleloosa!"

"My head," Spike said rubbing his temples. The two debating were leaning on the table their faces inches apart. Some people at the surrounding tables were watching them. Applejack had stood up from her table and was walking over while Rainbow was laughing, Rarity was just happy that it wasn't her sister doing it, Pinkie was muttering how she personally loved the Sweet Tooth Grape best, and Fluttershy was just eating, occasionally looking up in Micro's direction.

'What was that power?' she thought. When she fell on him she felt something when they touched, something she never felt before. 'Could it be love?' She almost snorted when she made that small joke but managed to keep herself composed.

"What in tarnation are you yelling about!?" Applejack yelled right behind her little sister.

"Ah!" Applebloom gasped as she was startled and jumped forward...right into Sugar's lips.

"Mmhhmmm!" Sugar was muffled as their mouths met. Applejack was stunned while Rainbow's laughter only increased in volume as she fell out of her seat. Micro and the others sitting at their table were laughing as the two separated and looked at eachother blushing.

"SORRY!" They both said. Sugar looked down at his food and busied himself eating while Applebloom looked angrily at her sister. Applejack looked sheepish and turned around to go back to her table. Micro smirked at his friend.

"It isn't even the first day," he said. Sugar glared at him before flinging a scoop of mashed potatoes at him. Micro leaned back and let the scoop hit the table. He laughed a bit as he felt a notification and saw his DEX went up.

"Ok students," Principal Celestia came in with another woman. This one had purple blue hair with white spots like stars in it. She wore a dark purple blouse and black pants.

Luna

(Princess of the Moon)

Lv?

'Another question mark?' Micro thought.

"It is time to go to your classes," Luna said. "We have your schedules. Everyone will have about 20 minutes with each teacher before they move to the next and after you visit all of them, you will be dismissed and return tomorrow."

Upon getting their schedules, the group of six saw they were all together.

"Now remember for tomorrow," Celestia said. "This will be your schedule for the semester. The only difference will be that you will follow the normal class times. Now enjoy the rest of your day."

"Looks like we will be enjoying the year together," Spike said. Sugar laughed and high fived his friends. He turned to the girls and blushed when he looked at Applebloom. She blushed to as her friends teased her.

The group started on their way toward their first class, what would be their homeroom. As they walked Micro saw another screen.

You have completed the game

Dishonored

Do you want to sacrifice your save file in order to gain a skill/weapon?

Yes/No

He subtly hit yes and smirked as the power flowed into him.

Skill Created!

Blink (Lv1)

Active (MP Cost 25)

Teleport a short distance away in the blink of an eye.

-Can only teleport in line of sight

-Can't teleport through physical objects

Micro smirked as he saw this. It was definitely helpful and unlike Corvo who had a very limited pool of magic to draw from, he could use it multiple times in a row. His celebration was once again cut short as he heard someone gasp.

"Oh no!" The voice said. Micro turned in time to see Fluttershy slip on a puddle of milk someone had spilt just as she was landing on him. For the second time that day the two fell to the ground.

'Thank goodness for Gamer's Body stopping me from getting concussions with how many times he hit his head. Opening his eyes he saw he was under some type of fabric. He could only see a bit as some light filtered in through the fabric. He felt something heavy on his chest and looked down to see what it was.

What greeted him was the sight of creamy thighs and a small patch of yellow fabric.

"AAH!" Fluttershy's voice sounded again. Suddenly light met his eyes as the weight on his chest lifted. His head had been under her skirt and as she step over his head while standing up he also saw her bouncy rear, which shockingly was mostly visible since she was wearing a thong. "I'm sorry!"

"N...No problem," Micro muttered as his friends were looking at him jealous while the girls just laughed. Fluttershy ran and shot out of the cafeteria. "I hope she wasn't too embarrassed…"

"Eh don't worry about it," Rainbow said as she walked up. "Fluttershy is a bit of a klutz. She is always tripping over something. You just are very lucky." She ruffled Scootaloo's hair and said goodbye as she followed after Flutters as they were done for the day. Sugar held out his hand to help Micro up.

"It's not even the first day," Sugar said, repeating Micro's joke to him.

"Oh shut up," Micro said jokingly. Though he was mentally filing the image away for later while thinking. 'I'm more annoyed I forgot to use Observe on her to get at least something to help explain that title.'

Scootaloo was looking at Micro with narrow eyes.

'He was focused on something else before that happened,' she thought. 'There was nothing in front of him though…' She didn't know what was going on with him, but she would find out Micro's secret at some point.

The group finally found the room and walked in to see a young teacher with long burgundy hair. She wore a matching skirt and a blouse that was a lighter shade of the same color.

Micro used observe on her, something he kept forgetting gave him more info than the title and level and so had neglected it for a while. He also decided to cast it on his friends besides Scootaloo since he already did for her.
