The Story:

A - Fantasies

"Oh nooo~! I'm late for school agaiiin!"

It all starts with a classic anime cliche - the girl running to school with toast in her mouth. She's headed towards Hope's Peak Academy, which may be familiar to some residents of Wonderland. But this version of the school has WAY brighter colors, and much happier students. Should you dare to walk inside, you'll find even more old-school cliches - the transfer student being introduced before class (Which is Mikan)! Eating lunch on the roof (Made and eaten by Mikan)! Opening your locker to discover a whole mountain of love letters (Of course it's Mikan's locker)!

But this isn't to say Mikan is oblivious that this is all fake... She knows. She's fully aware. It's just that she just does not care. After all, she's constantly surrounded by cheery students who want her attention 24/7. Why does she have to face reality just yet? Feel free to "bump" into her around the corner as she runs to school, or any of those scenarios listed above.

Special note for our Dangan Cast - you will see your "doubles" among the classmates. Dipper Fresh, anime-style.

B - Zombies

Inevitably, for her own good, Mikan has been broken out of her illusions and... now things are dark, grim, and once again -

"WHYYYYY?!"

She's frantically climbing up a tree, trying to avoid the one monster-type she dreads above all else. She's also crying hysterically - well, more hysterical than usual.

"Why, why, whyy zombies?! Why is it always Zombies?! Events aren't supposed to repeaaat!"

C- Wildcard
Make your own prompt - did she stumble into your fantasy? Karoke time? Go for anything!

Normally, Sunburst would be ALL ABOUT the details. But even he, with his generally poor grasp of social cues can see this is not a comfortable topic. He's still getting to know people here, best not sully it by sticking his muzzle where it doesn't belong.

"Of course. Well. Um. I hope you get through this one unharmed?"

Nailed it. He's the best at friendship. The best.

[naughty_nurse]

Good call, Sunburst.

"... I hope the same of you." Seriously, she does. A nice guy like him doesn't deserve to suffer such horrors. "Please... be careful."

[bibliocorn]

He'd much rather no-one end up meeting a stick end in this. He dithers for a moment, not really wanting to leave her, but not planning on sticking around in the open, either. He's not really battle-ready.

"I will. I- are you sure you'll be okay, up there?"

[naughty_nurse]

Mikan doesn't answer right away, but she does sigh. After another moment, she begins trying to climb down. "...I can't stay here forever."

[bibliocorn]

He steps back a bit, to give her room. He keeps alert, ears raised, listening for any sound of the shambling masses.

"It would get uncomfortable after a while. Perhaps we could find some sort of safe area, or at least make one."

[naughty_nurse]

Once she's on the ground, she smooths down her uniform.

"...They're only as strong as the average human. If we can find a sturdy shelter, we should be all right."

[bibliocorn]

"I'm...honestly not sure how strong an average human is."

Not very, he hopes. They're tall, yes, but they have to have pretty off kilter balance walking on two legs all the time- plus they don't really have sharp claws or sharp teeth. It can't be THAT bad, right?

"Okay. Well. That shouldn't be too difficult."

[naughty_nurse]

"Oh... sorry." She sighs again, curling her hair behind her ears. "It's always hard to remember not every world has... well, us."

[bibliocorn]

"Don't worry about it," he offers an encouraging smile. "What could you compare it to? Could an average human say, pick up a boulder?"

[naughty_nurse]

Mikan looks at him in surprise. "Oh, absolutely not! They'd have to be really, really, really strong! ... Maybe a weight-lifter or a Super High School Level talent... but definitely not an average human!"

[bibliocorn]

"Okay, good. Then that's something."

Not as strong as an earth pony, then. He can work with this.

"Are you guys fast? Could they be outrun? I mean, you humans only have two legs, so I suppose ti would make sense you're slower, but I don't want to presume."

[naughty_nurse]

"Well, we can be fast..." She almost says not as fast as a car, but does magic pony world have cars? "... We do have ponies and horses in my world, but the average person can't keep up with them!"

[bibliocorn]

He would absolutely not have any idea what a car is, no.

"You do? Well, that's something at least. Though that doesn't really help you, and I'd rather not leave you behind."

[naughty_nurse]

"... If you did, I wouldn't resent you." Mikan says with a slow nod. "If it should come down to that..." She'd like to think she would willingly sacrifice herself for someone. But even she can't be 100% sure.

[bibliocorn]

"Let's make sure it doesn't come to that."

He's not a fighter by any means, but he'd very much rather not leave her to a horrible fate. He's pretty sure that's against the whole idea of FRIENDSHIP that Twilight keeps trying to keep him upholding.
