Descent

The final bell of the last day of summer school rang in Canterlot High, and in response, a crowd of teens stormed out the front door, eager to finally get on with a proper summer. Among the countless teens running out of the building and no doubt violating jaywalking laws were two siblings, a tall lanky male with yellow hair and green skin, and his sister, a white skinned teen with black hair and a blue bow atop her head. I could go more into detail about both of their appearances, but neither you or I will likely remember in a chapter anyway so whatever.

"Oh thank GOD that's all over," the taller one said. "I haven't slept well in WEEKS with how early they expected us to get here! And I'm atheist so you KNOW it's serious if I'm thanking something I don't personally believe in!"

"Well Zephyr, if you got to bed on time..." his sister replied with a snarky attitude.

"Oh chill out will you Drizella, what do you expect me to do? Go to sleep at 9 pm in July?" Zephyr replied. "It isn't even fully dark yet then at this time of year. Secondly, you know how hard a time I have sleeping after a midday siesta!"

"Only loser's take siestas you realize..." Drizella replied.

"Yeah well you try getting up at 6:30 am for classes every day when you're a night person and see how you handle it!"

"I DID get up at 6:30..." Drizella replied snarling.

"Yeah and you're a morning person so it's easy for you." Zephyr replied. "And regardless, it's SUMMER, the one time a year when you don't, or at least shouldn't, have to get up super early and can just sleep in. There's a reason they call it summer VACATION after all."

"You would like vacations you lazy bum!" Drizella said.

"Oh come on, I passed all my classes!" Zephyr said, "I mean sure I sleep in the middle of the day sometimes after them, but it's not like I'm doing it through classes or anything. Ain't nothing wrong with sleeping differently as others as long as you do what you need to while you're awake!" His sister just responded by rolling her eyes, something he noticed. "Oh come on! Are you really telling me you'd rather be in school than spending time with your cat Lucifer?

"Well considering I bring Lucifer to school every day in my backpack I don't see the relevance!" Drizella replied.

"Oh come on, not the backpack smuggling thing again?" Zephyr said angrily, "I told you, that can't be good for a cat to trap them in a dark backpack all day! You gotta let that cat out of the bag for goodness sake!"

"Oh, and you're such an animal expert?" She replied annoyed.

"No, but it's just..." Zephyr replied but was cut off.

"Hmm, then I don't really know why you think you know better than me on this!" Drizella replied condescendingly. "Quite frankly I don't think you know better than me on ANYTHING!"

"Rude much" Zephyr said.

"Cope and seethe!" Drizella said.

"You sound just like those insufferable morons on TF2 and Reddit." Zephyr said angrily.

"Well I wouldn't know because unlike you I'm not a loser who frequents them like you are!" Drizella said. "Honestly, and I can't believe I'm saying this due to how annoying it is when you always talk about it, but why don't you go back to your stupid useless hobbies instead of trying to school me on animal care?"

"Hey, my hobbies aren't useless!" Zephyr replied.

"You think you're going to be a professional poker player.... Tell me how that isn't useless again?" Drizella said chuckling to herself

"Hey, I won 50 bucks online last month!" Zephyr replied, "And that's just playing for the few hours a week I feel awake enough to actually do well!"

"Oh please, like you'd ever be good enough to be pro... at any of that stupid shit you obsess over!" Drizella sneered.
