Silver watched with horror as Fizz smacked herself in the head and flew out of her seat. Oops...oh my gosh...I'm so sorry... he thought, but could not say it because of the taboo on talking. He felt horrible... And now they were doing a partner project. Great. He bet everypony already had somepony they wanted to work with, so he just sat in his seat and watched all the others scrambling to find a partner, hoping that maybe somepony would want to work with him.
Bonking the side of her head a few more itmes, she straightens her vision and hearing out as a hand jolts into the air. "TEACHA! Can I hazzi you as partnuh?" She grinned sheepsihly, seemingly on the wild rollercoaster sort of brain.
Eclipse stared at Fizz, confused. He never EVER suspected somepony to even CONSIDER wanting to partner with him. "Another time Fizz. For now only classmates." He sent a reasuring look at her.
Looking slightly forlorn back at her teacher, she nodded. "Okeeedokeee..." Then she looked around her desk. Hmm, a smashed quill, what could that mean... perhaps it is a sign! Maybe the crazy faries in her dreams that hit her with a hammer were trying to tell her something! She followed the direction of the broken feathery end... until her eyes were staring right at Silver through her pink frazzled hair. She lifted her hair with one hoof, and stared at him quietly... expectantly...
Silver watched Fizz as she asked the teacher if he would be her partner, then as he politely refused. Then she looked down at the quill, and a few moments later, straight at him. Does she know that I was the one poking her with the quill? Is she mad at me??! He did nothing but look at the floor and blush profusely under her scrutiny.
Oh, no. Haze wasn't all so keen on working with others- She muchly preferred working by herself. It was easier for her that way, as she wasn't very good at working in teams. Looking around the room, the ponies were all talking to one another, figuring out who'd go with who. Haze didn't want to choose, and so waited in her seat for something to arise, whether that be going with another pair, or being put with another left-over.
Snow looked for a partner, and noticed the newcomer, Haze, all alone. Snow walked up to her and asked, "You want to be partners?"
"Oh, sure!" As the pony was asking, Haze might as well except. It's not like she really had a choice in the matter. She was just happy she had a partner before she was put with some random foal! Haze pulled a spare seat up for the other filly, and put it next to the table for her. "What's your name?"
Velvet looked around in the class, and noticed Crimson. She kicked her chair gently, and walked to him. "Hey, Crim. Wanna be partners?"
"Uh, Snow, Snow Mark." Snow replied, she still wasn't used to talking a lot with ponies outside her family so she was still nervous.
Spoiler: Irrelevant Allure looked around a moment and saw everypony getting partners. She glanced to Quill at her left and poked him. Again. And again. Eventually, when she saw she had his full attention, she said "Hiya! Wanna be partners with me?"
She slowly leaned closer to Silver, continuing to eye him with her golden hued eyes. Closer, and closer, and... floor. She fell out of her seat again, but this time it was met with merry giggles. She abruptly stopped them though and sat up, then continued to stare at him quietly... expectantly...
Silver was really confused. Did she even know if he'd done it? Would she be mad? She didn't seem angry, but with her it seemed impossible to tell. Well, he needed a partner...and she didn't seem to hate him... "Er...would you like to be partners, Fizz?"
She crept up to Silver, slow and steady, getting eerily closer and closer, until their noses almost met. Then, she whispered; "Okay~!" Finally, she couldn't keep a straight face, and back away with a giggle. "Yer face lookie funnee when I did dat! Yah, partneez it iz!"
"Cool... " Yet again, Haze fell short of things to say. She sat quietly for a few seconds, and a rather uncomfortable silence began. What should she say?! "Sooo... Yeah, what do you think we're going in pairs for?" It'll do for now... Maybe it'll spark the conversation?
Snow shrugged, "Who can say? It could jut end up being something to get the class to connect better, you can never tell."
Silver's head drew back slowly as Fizz's face approached his. "Okay~!" she whispered when he could lean no further. She then proceeded to explode into a giggling fit. Silver smiled a little. She seemed nice enough, even if she was totally random and super-energetic. "So, partners it is!" he said, repeating her statement. His smile grew a little more, but still was not anywhere near approaching a full-out grin.
Velvet looked at crim, who seemed focused on his harmonica. She let him do his things, and approached a pony who's name on the desk written 'buttercup'. "Hey, 'Buttercup', i'm Velvet. D'you have a teammate?"
Crimson was trying to fix a tune in his harmonica. He was side tracked again. When he eventully noticed the other students, they were busy finding partners. Crim looked around but was disapointed, he had no partner. So Crimson trotted around the class, he could ask if he can join a group but did not want to be rude to his classmates. *Sigh* "I hate it when i get side tracked." He said under his breath. Crim walked to Eclipse. "Um..excuse me sir. I dont have a partner, can you help me find one?" he said politely
From the corner of her eye, Velvet noticed Crimson walking to the teacher, and the pony Buttercup still ignoring her. "Oh, hey, i just find out somepony else to be my teammate. Another time, i guess?". She ankwardly walked to the teacher and Crim. "Sorry, Mr. Teacher, i don't have any partner... May you help me find one?"
