Character Oneshot: Laine Sunflower

____________________________________

 

>My name is Laine Sunflower.

>For years in my elementary school I have been mistreated, bullied and undernoticed.

>They say I couldn't hurt a fly.

>People say I'm destined for tinier things.

>Others say I'm no less menacing than a spider's egg.

>Well, no more!

>For today in my start at this school.

>At my start and end in this school year.

>I shall be the most feared individual of this school.

>No more shall they call me 'Sunshine' or 'Flowergirl'.

>From here on out, they shall know my name, and they will tremble at it.

>For my name is Laine, and I will set my name and actions in stone!

 

THE NEXT MORNING

 

*BEEEP*BEEEP*BEEEEP*

"AAHK! SHIT!"

>My name is Laine, and I'm freaking late for my first day.

 

>Rushing down the stairs, you grabbed your toothbrush and brushed away while eating breakfast.

>"Laine, dear. That's quite...well... weird."

"Can't talk*nomnomskshksh*"

>Munching up delicious blueberry pancakes mom just made while you brush it all away.

>After breakfast you ran back to the bathroom and showered.

>Man, I can't believe I'm late. Ugh.

 

>Five minutes later, you went in your room, got dressed and got your bag.

>"Oh honey, you want me to drive you to school?"

"No thanks, mom. I'm not a kid anymore."

>"That doesn't mean anything. Your father still took me to work when he was still alive."

"That's because you two are maariiied."

>"My little sunshine is growing up!"

"I'm not a little sunshine! I'm a young adult, and my name is Laine!"

>You then went out and slammed the door on your mother's face.

>"LAINE!"

"What?" you said with an edgy voice.

>"You just fixed the loose screw on the door! Thanks dear!"

"W-what?"

>"Oh  that screw had been an annoyance since the day it happened. How did you know slamming the door would fix it."

>I didn't even know it was even broken.

"I'm gonna be late."

>"Oh right. Come here and let me give you a good luck hug for your first day.

"Mooooom!"

>She hugs you without remorse.

>Her bear-tight embrace is crushing your self-established dignity.

>She finishes and waves goodbye.

>You ran off from your house and on to school.

 

CANTERLOT HIGH

 

>Entering the school, lots of familiar and unfamiliar faces.

>You rushed on to your class, which is history.

>Walking inside the classroom, you see alot of fresh meat.

>A perfect place to start your campaign to have everyone fear you.

>You walk to an area with one nerd.

>Seems easy enough.

"Hey kid."

>"H-huh?"

"You pushed him off his chair and proceeded to look him in the eye as he fell on the floor.

>"Ahh..."

"Whatcha gonna do about it?"

>"Whoa, thanks lady!"

"Tha-...wait what?"

>The nerd points above. A spider was about to drop on him if you hadn't shoved him off.

>"Oh man, that spider could have given me a panic attack. You're a real good classmate, lady!"

"B-but..."

>Before you could retort, the teacher comes in.

>>"Alright, class. Please sit down for our first lesson."

>You sit down beside the nerd.

>Your face now has a permanent annoyed look.

>"Now, as you all know, you're all in history class. We'll be learning all the histories of the different islands for this week."

>Oh joy...

>She pulls down the chart hanging from the side. It's a huge map.

>>"Now, for a quick review, does anyone here know what this island's name is?"

>No one raises their hands.

>>"Ugh, this is going to be a long year" she whispers to herself.

>She decides to randomly call a student.

 

>>"Right, umm, you! Ms. ..."

>She checks her student checklist.

>>"Ah yes, Ms. Sunflower!"

>Crap.

>You stood up, still annoyed.

>>"No pain in trying! Can you tell me the name of this island and its capital?"

>You decide to be a smartass and gave a 'smartass' answer.

"Oh gee, I don't know. Island is 'Teacher' with a capital of 'Faggotry'?"

>>"Laine!"

>Here it comes...

>>"That's correct! I'm glad someone remembered the lesson from last year.

>W-What?

>>"Class, this island here is named 'Teachurch', home of freshly planted 'Church teas', commonly found in 'Pagotreh City'."

>Oh come on!

>>>"Lel, nerd!" whispered another student.

>No. No. NOOOOOOO!

>MY YET TO BE ESTABLISHED NAME FOR MYSELF IS RUINED!

>CURSE ME!

>>"You can sit down, now, Ms. Sunflower."

>GRAAAH. THIS IS SUFFERING. PEOPLE ALREADY THINK I'M A BOOKWORM!

>This is going to be a long day.

 

Lunch Time

>Agh, finally. Out of my morning classes.

>And everyone thinks I'm a goody-two shoes girl.

>Despite my efforts, the one reaction I get is the opposite of what I wanted.

>Goddammit.

>Right, so, cafeteria.

>You cut in line to assert your non-existing authority.

>>"Hey! We were here first!"

"Yeah, well bug off!"

>That's right, I'm sounding badass.

>>"Whoa, you're right! There is a bug in the food!"

>W-What?

>He points to one of Grandmother Smith's showcased meals. The mash potato has been contaminated with house flies.

>>>"Oh my! Thanks for pointing that out, dearie! This could have been embarrassing if I served this to Principal Celestia!"

"B-but..."

>>"Thanks for the warning, miss!

>>>"Here, dearie! Have some complimentary cake. It's the least I can do!"

"T-thanks...?"

 

>You walk out of the line, feeling confused.

>Well, at least you got some cake out of that.

>Wait, I can start a food fight!

>Yeah, and be remembered as the girl who fearlessly started a food fight!

>YES. AGAINST THE AUTHORETEEHH! I SHALL BE REMEMBERED!

 

>You threw the cake at a random guy.

>The cake lands at his eyes, to which he tries to scratch out.

>>"OH MY GOSH!" yelled a nearby woman.

"HEY! FOOD FI-"

>"Hey look! That lady just stopped that thief from stealing my bag!"

>W-what?

>>"Man, we've been victimized by that thief all day!"

>"Lady, you have the eagle eyes of a hero!"

>What what?

>"Hey everyone! Let's  beat that guy with the cake in his face up."

>And they proceed to do so.

>>"We'll never forget this, lady!"

>"A true student role model, that girl is. What was her name?"

>>"I think it was 'Sunflower."

>"Sunflower! A good name for a good lass!"

"DAMMIT, MY NAME IS LAINE!" You yell in protest.

>>"Thanks again, Sunflower!"

"AAARRGH!"

 

>You storm out in protest. No one noticed.

 

>Bah, every attempt to look badass and hardcore has been a complete and utter failure!

>I can't be remembered as a good student! No one remembers those kinds of maggots!

>You walk by the hall. Seeing that nerd from history class again.

>"Oh hey Sunflower!"

"MY NAME IS LAINE!"

>You shoved him inside the locker to show everyone you ain't messing around.

>"Ahh! HEY!"

"GET IN!"

>You then closed the locker door.

>At that moment, a woman with pasta hair comes to the hall.

>She's looking for someone.

>I think her name was...Shimmers? Yes, Sunset shimmers.

>She looks left and right, but alas, her eyes find nothing of interest.

>>"That nerd's missing again and I need to enslave him to do my math homework!" She said.

>She storms off to go to another hall.

>The nerd comes out of his locker.

>"Oh man, thanks again, Sunflower! You just saved me from Shimmer's wrath!"

>The students began to whisper.

>>"Man, is she a bro or what?

>>>"I could depend on her! I'd vote for her as president!"

>>>>"I've never seen someone so nice and heroic!"

>>>>>"Her name is Sunflower? Her name really suits her."

"GRAAAAAAH!"

 

>You ran off to the other end of the hall.

>The only way you'd be able to wipe away this foolish nonsense of you being the opposite of a hardcore badass student is to start a fight with another student.

>Someone who wouldn't find pleasure or heroics in that.

>Yes, its the only way!

>Looking around, you saw this guy with the dark jacket, blue hair and the smell of a generic musical jock.

>He's flirting with a girl.

>Perfect!

>You went in and shouted.

 

"HEY YOU!"

>"Who me?" The guy said.

>With that, you threw the guy a great punch.

>"ACK!"

"You like that? HAVE ANOTHER!"

>You threw in more punches, beating him until he slipped on a banana peel.

>"WHOA! NOT BRADICAL! UGH!"

>He falls to the floor, head spinning and eyes turning.

>You turn to the 'audience', or rather, the people around you.

 

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? HUH? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"

>The people were silent for a moment.

 

>Finally, they cheered.

>"WHOOO!"

>>"YEEAAAH! GO SUNFLOWER!"

>>>"HE JUST BEAT UP THE GIRLFRIEND THIEF!"

>>>>"THAT WILL SHOW HIM FROM HARRASSING WOMEN!"

 

>W-what?

 

>>"THREE CHEERS FOR SUNFLOWER! TRULY A SIGHT TO BEHOLD IN A MONDAY MORNING!"

"MY NAME IS LAI-AAIEEE!"

>They lift you up and tossed you up and down.

>>"HIP HIP?"

>>>"HURRAAAH"

>>>>"HURRAAAH"

>>>>>"HURRAAAH"

"LET ME DOWN, YOU FILTHY VERMINS!"

>They let you down and shook your hand.

>>"Smart, heroic and nice. If you ever need any help, just ask us!" said one of the students.

>>>"Yeah! It's hard to find students like yourself."

"B-but...But I didn't want to-"

>>"Not just a role model. A MODEST role model!"

>>>"We'll always remember this, friend!

"No... No..."

>>"Sunflower!"

"NOO. NOO."

>>>"Pretty sure Sunflower is her first name."

>>"Naw, man, I think it was Sunshine Sunflower."

"NOOOO!"

>"I heard she was trying to be edgy and hardcore!."

>>"You must have heard wrong. She's been doing nice things all day! I doubt we'd forget that."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

 

>All your efforts, all your edge, gone.

>My name is Laine, and everyone thinks I'm the nicest student in Canterlot High.

>I wanted to be badass and edgy, but these bastards won't let me.

>Goddammit.
