A New Friend

A New Friend is the seventh chapter of A New Era.

Plot
The Horticulture class was outside, planting flowers into beds as pairs. Fluttershy and Brandy wanted to work together, thus Jennifer Honey pairing them up to work while she paired her other students together. Nearer to the academy was the one Fluttershy and Brandy took, the timid shy girl wondering if the poodle would want to meet up with the Elements of Harmony. Brandy stated she already knew Lola from the day prior, which made the 5th member. This made Brandy intrigued, Fluttershy introducing her to her friends by word of mouth and description. Jennifer Honey came around and wanted to know how they were doing, prompting the girls to respond with simplicity. The teacher left them to continue, happy that they're enjoying this.

The soccer match was still going strong in Coach Malone's Sport class. The coach was watching, along with 4 professors taking their time to watch their new students perform. He stopped the match via blowing his whistle. Coach Malone applauded the efforts from the first half. The only other change was Applejack in defense. Vanellope slightly overheard the strange word of 'CV', meaning Curriculum Vitae. The second half was quickly underway after that.

Back in Dorm 49, the other girls were playing a game of Twister when there was a knock at the door. Sally Bollywood was doing a quick inspection of the academy as a new student. She was the best at detective work apparently, as she was sent by Principal Celestia to go around every dorm in the campus. Twilight wondered if she had inspected Dorm 37 yet, the one in which their friend was in. This made Sally furious, as she wanted to tattletale this to Vice-Principal Trunchbull. She left the room, Twilight regretting opening her mouth. Her friends tried to cheer her up, including Smurfette, the closest to Twilight at the time. The studious then explained the origin of the vice-principal, stating that she had read Matilda. Twilight glanced over the blonde haired smurf cheering her to finish the game off, the lead supposedly smiling. The current dorm attendees continued their game of Twister until the others came back.

Trivia
Coach Malone's first response stating the great first half of the soccer match is nearly identical to that of Mr Swackhammer's response in the 1996 sports comedy movie Space Jam.
