"I probably will be too exhausted to even study." Fluttershy looked at Applejack before nodding. "I'm so excited to go back. Hopefully this time there won't be any crazy monsters or demons. Maybe we should leave our elements at home... To really just make sure this is a magic-less trip." When Fox approached she shy'd away behind Rainbow Dash and let someone else answer.

Rainbow watches as Applejack joins their group. Now all they needed were Rarity, Pinkie, Sunset, and Twilight, but they were all in different classes, so it was unlikely that they would see each other until later. She also watches as other students make their way out of class, especially the two, Brash and Carri, if she was right. She didn't know them personally, but there was something about them that set them apart from other pairs, whether it be siblings or friends.

"Wait, ANOTHER test after Camp? That sucks..." she mumbles to herself. "Oh well, we'll worry about that later. Now, all I care about is Camp Everfree. Hopefully it won't be as crazy as last time." she says, her mind going back to the crazy events of that camp, soon finding herself playing with the gemstone that she got from the event, a reminder of what happened, as well as a symbol of the power of friendship that she and her friends now hold.

She soon notices another student make his way towards them. It was the guy that came in late to class. "As a matter of fact, there is. Its called Camp Everfree, and its a really fun, week long camp. The counselors there let you do whatever you want with little restriction. They have a bunch of stuff that you can do there. Other than that, its pretty much your general summer camp. Campfires, singalongs, events, the list goes on. Every year, the campers always make something as a reminder of their time there, and to be used by future campers. Last time, we built a dock three times." she said, chuckling to herself at that last part.

Broadshield emerged from the statue right as the bell rang. Broadshield blinked his eyes a few times and steadied himself in his new form as he tried to adjust to his new surroundings. 'Alright, you know the mission. Get to Camp Everfree and study the strange magical occurrences there that have been affecting our world, and learn more about this world in the process, then report back to Celestia. I can do this.' he thought to himself as he made his way inside. He had been assured that his presence wouldn't go questioned as the Broadshield of this world was away, meaning that he can go in, do what he needs to do and get out without raising suspicion. Before he goes inside, he looks at his reflection in the door. He's wearing a black leather jacket on top of a light grey hoodie, wearing a simple grey shirt underneath. He's also wearing navy coloured jeans and simple red sneakers. Looking at his jacket, he notices on his left shoulder the familiar Equinox patch, and on the right, his cutie mark.

Making his way inside, very few of the students really acknowledge his presence, the ones that do give a simple glance, some saying "Hey" before moving on. 'I wonder what the Broadshield of this world is like...' Broadshield thinks to himself as he wanders the corridors. Eventually he finds himself in the science corridor next to a still open classroom where there are still four students inside. Ignoring them, he focuses on a poster advertising Camp Everfree commencing shortly. 'This is it, this is how I get to Camp Everfree, only question now is who to talk to to ensure I get there...' he thinks to himself as he continues to look at the poster.

With the bell ringing to signify the end of the period, Octavia packs her books into her bag and takes them to her locker in the science corridor. On her way there, she continues to hear students talking about the upcoming trip to Camp Everfree. "I can't wait to go back there, hopefully this time nothing 'extreme' pops up like last time..." she thinks to herself, reminiscing on the events that occurred last time as she puts her books away. As she closes her locker, she notices Broadshield eyeing the Camp Everfree poster. "Hello Broad, you thinking of going this year?" she asks.

"You should," Brash adds in for Octavia as she approaches. "The more students there, the less any adults might notice if I skip out on activities."

As Brash stops near the two, Carri, who always sticks close behind, nearly runs into her. Having to stop so quickly with her heavy backpack causes her to lose balance and she falls to her rump. "Ow..."

"In fact, you should invite all of your qualified contacts to the event." Brash walks around to Carri's backpack, digs into it and pulls out some papers. "Good thing Carri got extra sign-up forms."

"I was going to give those to my friends." Carri says as she gets back on her feet.

Brash hands the forms to Broadshield but still talks to Carri, "How many friends do you think you have?"

Carri gives a quizzical look, "Well there's you ...and everybody else!" She responds with a smile.

Brash groans at that and turns away from the two, ready to leave.

"I know, I know, another test..." Applejack rolls her eyes, teasing Rainbow Dash as she crosses her arms with a smirk and leans gently off to one side. "It's an easy one, sugarcube. And if ya want to be mah partner like last year, promise me you'll at least read through the chapter. We ain't gonna have a repeat of last year with the whole missin' eyebrows bit right before our annual school picture." She chuckles, teasing again as she playfully slugs Dash across the shoulder.

"Naw, it won't be as crazy as the last time, I'd reckon. Heck, I'll be helpin' with all the cookouts this time. It'll be smooooth sailin'."

Applejack pauses as Foxtrot approaches the group. A fresh face, but certainly more than welcome. She nods and tips her hat in greeting, letting Rainbow Dash answer his question. The mention of the dock made her frown a bit, almost instinctively reaching up to touch her own gemstone just to make sure it was still there. "Three times is two times too many. Of course, there ain't much you can do about a wayward boat and... explody... sprinkles." She shakes her head, dismissing her own thoughts with a shrug. "That just ain't natural."

Getting slightly confused about the mention of the dock and 'exploding sprinkles,' Foxtrot decides to just leave it be and nods. "Wow, sounds like fun. It's been a while since I've had an outdoor experience. I'll be sure to fill out the necessary papers to sign up." His eyes wander over to the clock, catching the time. "Hey uh, I gotta go finds my next class. Thanks for the info about the trip." With a nod and light wave he makes his exit. Off to the next class, if he finds it on time, that is.

"Does he realize that it's the end of the day? He must be a new student..." Fluttershy softly responded as she step[ed out from behind Rainbow Dash."I guess you wierded him out with the talk of magic if he's new here." After she took a second to watch him walk away she returned her attention to the group and brought up the camp again. She had a small, excited smile on her face. "I am going to be apart of a few silent nature walks. I already made a scavenger hunt for myself to see what kind of birds I can find. But with this it would be easy." She again played with the gem around her neck. "If it's alright with you guys... I might leave it at home..."

Rainbow just listens to the group up until the new guy leaves. As he leaves, she notices the four outside. She recognizes the two that were in class before, as well as the cellist Octavia, but the last guy she doesn't know. "I'd say he's just new, nothing about magic." she remarks in regards to the new guy. "Back to camp, I can't wait to do some more sports there. I never got a chance to play against anyone at tetherball, and archery, and... huh, I guess I really didn't do many of the activities last time..." she realizes. "I don't want to bring the gem to camp this time around in case something happens because of it, but I do want to bring it in case there is an emergency... What do you think AJ?" she says, playing around with the gem now tied around her neck.

While Broadshield is looking at the poster, he suddenly finds himself surrounded by three others he doesn't really know. Only one of them is vaguely familiar to him. Doing a quick once-over of the three, he notices what he thinks are the cutie marks of the three somewhere on their clothes. He only recognizes one, that being Octavia's. "Uh, yeah, I was thinking of going this year. I just thought since there's so many po-" he says, catching himself at the end there. 'Whoops, nearly said pony there. Its people, now, just act like it never happened.' he thinks to himself before resuming "Sorry, people. I just thought since there are so many people talking about it, I might as well see what its all about." he says to Octavia. Simple lie, he had other reasons, but no one needed to know that. He turns to the two younger looking students as one of them gives him a bunch of registration forms. "I'll only need one thanks." he says, handing the spares back. "Wait, why do you want to skip out on activities? Don't you want to go to camp?" he asks.

"I see, I didn't think you were one to go on camps like this." she says, thinking back to the Broadshield she knew from around school. That Broadshield always seemed to keep to himself, a bit of a nerd in terms of military knowledge and pop culture, but not one to go out on camps unless he had to. This Broadshield was so different, seemingly more confident. Maybe there was a change that she didn't know about? She turns to the other two, letting them all talk it out, before Broadshield asks Brash her reasoning for not participating. "Yeah, why would you ever want to miss out on camp? You're there for one reason or another, you may as well enjoy your time there." she says to her, a look of concern on her face.

Carri steps in to receive the spare papers as Brash turns back with an accusing finger, "I don't have to explain myself to either of you!" She grunts, "My father demands that I attend these ridiculous social events, but I'd much rather continue my studies."

Carri doesn't seem to notice Brash's outburst as she tucks the papers away into her backpack, "It's gonna be tons of fun, me and Brash are gonna ask if we can build a tree house for the camp gift."

Applejack blinks, almost calling out to the newcomer, but decides against it as she shakes her head and puts her hands on her hips. "I know some schools have nine periods in their day. Somethin' like... Zero hour or somethin'. I'd reckon he might be from one of them, wherever he came from. One of them big cities." She trails off a bit, lost in thought before Fluttershy's voice brought her back to attention. "I'm sure you'll find plenty of feathered n' furry friends, Fluttershy. And just because you have your gem doesn't mean ya have to use it, ya know. You could leave it with one of us or somethin' while you're out explorin'." Applejack shrugs, tapping her boots together in thought as she listens to Rainbow Dash. "Ya know, that's a mighty fine point ya got there, Dash. Now, I ain't no expert on magic, but it seems it just kinda... happens. Even before we got these here gems. If ya'll are worried about wearin' them, I'd keep them close by... Just in case."

"I guess I can keep it close by then." Fluttershy agreed. Suddenly her phone buzzed and she looked at it and suddenly jumped in the air. "Oh dear. I forgot! I have to volunteer at the animal shelter! I'm late oh no! See you girls bright and early tomorrow!" She began to run down the hall bumping into people and apologizing along the way.

"Good idea-" Rainbow manages to say before being cut off by Fluttershy's sudden departure. "Oh jeez, speaking of which, I have training to go to." she says, getting her bag and heading towards the door. "Gotta go AJ. See you tomorrow!" she says, walking out the door, past the others outside. "Excuse me, sorry." she says, pushing past them, and generally ignoring them, as she makes her way to training.
