*RING*
"Alright class. Recess!" Cheerilee cheered as her students ran outside as quick as their legs would take them.
Acorn was annoyed. School was so far as she predicted. Boring. Mostly there was a lot of math and history and blagh!
She looked at all the stuff other follies and colts were doing.
A couple were playing teatherball. Some were playing hopscotch. The CMC's were peacefully playing in the swings with Twist.
Letting out a happy sigh Acorn found a tree and climbed the branches til she found a satisfied resting place. She always loved hiding in trees. As Megan she would hang out with squirrels and trade nuts for silence.
After a minute or so a argument disturbed her. The CMC's and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"See Silver, these blank flanks are losers." Diamond mocked.
"Can't kill her." Acorn reminded herself.
"I know Diamond. I bet even if they had cutie marks they would still be losers!" Silver Spoon joined in with her boss.
"At least we aren't so stuck up as you Diamond Tiara!" Scootaloo told her.
"Please don't let those stupid acting lessons Gail gave me fail me now." Acorn thought as she began to make crying noises.
The five fillies looked up the tree and found Acorn curled up inside the branches and leaves.
"Even the new filly is a blank flank. She probably knows her only friends are losers." Diamond joked.
"That's not *sniff* why I'm crying." Acorn said.
"Oh right." Diamond agreed sarcastically.
Sweetie Belle tried to join her friend but found she sucked at climbing trees.
"What's wrong Acorn Flame?" Sweetie asked.
Giving herself a quick evil smile, Acorn hopped down the tree with a VERY sad face.
"I'm sad Sweetie Belle," Acorn wiped the fake tears from her eyes, "because those two fillies are gonna be stuck as bitches for the rest of their lives."
The fillies gasped.
Now, you are probably wondering where an 11-year-old learned that word. Well, back on Earth Megan had a rebel streak since she could walk. She commonly hung out of skateparks, where words like bitches are used regularly. It annoyed her parents and sisters to no end.
"You said a bad word, I'm telling Cheerilee!" Silver Spoon warned.
"I thought you couldn't do anything without your bosses command." Acorn shot back.
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle giggled.
"She's not my boss!" Silver yelled.
"Right and Luna moves the sun." Acorn said. Others kids came around, hearing the blank flank fighting Diamond Tiara. Most were laughing at Acorn's joke.
Diamond however was hating the negative attention.
"Look Blank-flank," Diamond smilied as the insult reachd Acorn, "My daddy is the richest pony in Ponyville and when he hears about this..."
"Oh, whatta ya gonna do Daddy's Filly? Send Daddy off to my big sister? Buy my love for you? Sorry Princess Diamond Tiara, I don't lean that way." Acorn joked, earning the laughs of the older fillies and colts.
The whole school yard had gathered to see this fight. Diamond knew she was being cornered but wouldn't let a blank flank beat her.
"No. But my Daddy will run you out of town!" Diamond boasted.
"I'm glad I'm a blank flank DT. I'd rather not be like you and know I'll be stuck thinking I'm better than everypony else." The ring of students both giggled and gasped. "I would like you to tell me one good thing about you that doesn't involve you having money and I will walk out of here without looking back." Acorn challenged.
A round of ooo's went around the ponies.
"I'm popular." Diamond said quickly.
"Only because you think you're better than everypony because of your money. Try again." Acorn said.
"Everypony loves me..."
"Because you'll use your dads money on them if they say anything against you. Try again."
"I'm pretty."
"Expensive hair and makeup. Try again."
Diamond was getting annoyed.
"I have my cutie mark!"
"That you got from an expensive tiara. Try again." Acorn smilied, knowing she won.
"How about you say something huh?" Diamond yelled back.
"Easy, I never leave a friend hanging because I fear I'll break a sweat. I won't lie about a friend to safe my plot. I don't think that just because you have money you should act like you're better than a Princess!" Gasps.
Diamond Tiara's jaw dropped.
"I-I-I don't think that." She quickly explained.
"Then why do you wear a tiara all the time? Why do you think that just because you have your cutie mark that shows how rich you are..."
"Fillies!" Cheerilee yelled.
Acorn and Diamond looked over and saw Featherweight standing behind an enraged Cheerilee.
"Inside now, all of you!" She commanded
Abigail is going to kill me. Acorn thought as she walked towards the school.
To say that Authora was angry was an understatement. Pipsqueak had been in school not even one day and she got in a fight! It was bad enough that Flutterwing couldn't come. Rarity was called for an emergency meeting at Twilight's and Flutterwing just had to go too.
Plus, it was better the pony who push her thoughts right into the filly's head go.
When Authora arrived, a tan earth pony with money bags as a cutie mark was standing next to a small pink filly.
"Ms. Authora, how good of you to come."
Authora have the teacher a gentle smile and a 'I'm gonna kill you' glare to Pipsqueak.
"I suppose I should tell you why I called you here." Cheerilee said.
"It would be nice. I have a meeting in a few minutes Ms. Cheerilee!" Filthy Rich told her.
"I'm aware Mr. Rich. Your daughter and your sister got in an argument during recess." Cheerilee explained.
A piece of paper floated up to the teacher.
About?
"Some of the students said it was about Diamond Tiara and her friend Silver Spoon talking rudely to three other fillies." Rich scoffed. Cheerilee continued on. "Others said it was because of the language used by Acorn Flame."
"I should've known you'd get the name you wanted." Authora thought to her sister as another part of the sentence hit her.
The paper moved back to Cheerilee.
What language?
"I was told it was a swear by four students." Authora gasped and gavd her sister another glare that read 'if my last look didn't kill you, then this one will'.
Acorn cracked under the pressure.
"She was making fun of my friend big sis! I couldn't let her think I was gonna take it lying down!" Acorn screamed at Authora.
"She called me and Silver a bad name Daddy!" Diamond yelled, pointing at hoof at Acorn.
"Only because she disserved it!" Acorn yelled back.
Authora, hating useless arguments, slammed her hoof on the floor. Somehow silencing both fillies.
The paper floated to the teacher again.
I am SO sorry Ms. Cheerilee, I thought I had convinced Acorn to stop swearing. Believe me when I say Acorn will be grounded.
Another sheet of paper floated up to Filthy Rich as Cheerilee read her paper.
And Mr. Rich, my sister probably meant little harm to your daughter. I think it would be appropriate if both fillies apologized to each other, what do you think?
Rich nodded his head.
"Princess, Ms. Authora wants you to apologize to her sister. Don't worry, Acorn is told to apologize as well." Diamond groaned. Acorn felt the greatest relief, all she had to do was apologize to the brat.
"But Daddy I didn't do anything!" Diamond pleaded. Authora wanted to try something.
Diamond, if you apologize first you'll be seen as a role model to Acorn. Maybe her sisters will be even madder at her if your apology angers her. Authora knew it was a long shot, but she had to try something.
Diamond had an evil smile on her face for half a second before walking over to the bright green unicorn.
"Acorn Flame, I am so sorry for not being the mature filly and stopping the argument. I should have been a better role model to you and the other blank flanks." Diamond apologized, in the tone a back-handed complement would be in.
Acorn locked her brown eyes on Diamond's purple ones.
"Thank you Diamond. I am sorry that I called you that name. I am also sorry that I..." Whatever she wanted to say next was quickly quieted by her sister using magic to keep her mouth shut.
"Okay now we leave, goodbye Miss Cheerilee, Mr. Rich, Diamond Tiara." One finally piece of paper said as Authora dragged Acorn out in a magical white aura.
"... And if you think I gave it to you rough wait until we get back to Twilight's! Flutterwing will furious with you I won't even stop her this time!" Authora told Acorn as they headed back to the library. They had been walking for five minutes and the entire time Authora was using her magic to yell at her sister. Acorn was starting to get a headache from all the yelling her sister was giving her.
"I know already okay I don't have a fight with Diamond Tiara blah blah blah. Can you quit it?" Acorn complained.
Authora was about to yell at her younger sister when her eye caught something.
There sitting on a rooftop, sat a Bluejay staring his black eyes at Authora.
"Thora, you okay?" Acorn asked as she noticed her sisters silence.
"Run" Authora commanded.
"What?" Acorn asked.
"RUN!" Authora screamed as she dashed away. Acorn looked up at where Authora was just looking and saw the blue demon.
She ran too.
Everypony sat in silence as Twiliht finished reading the letters from Celestia. There was another alicorn. A male alicorn. A male alicorn with black fur and glowing blue eyes. He was searching for somepony.
Flutterwing had a fear of who he was. But she knew there was no freakin way he could've found them. So it must be a another explanation.
At least up until Authora came running into the library, clearly distressed. Having Acorn run in a few seconds later and locking the door didn't help.
The six mares and two baby dragons looked on.
"Thora, Thora, Thora calm down!" Flutterwing said to try and calm her sister. "What happened?"
Twilight couldn't hear what Authora was telling Flutterwing, but based on the reaction Flutter have it was bad.
"You need to read this. Twilight can I see that letter?"
Twilight was a little skeptical to do it at first, but seeing panicked the two sibling unicorns were it must've been bad.
"Sure." The paper floated towards Authora and soon wrapped in a white aura.
Her tear blue eyes grew with each word she read. Her horn stil glowing, Authora began shaking her head and crying.
"What is it?" Acorn asked seeing the scroll. She connected the dots. "How the hell did he find us?!"
"You know an all black alicorn?" Twilight asked.
"Good job Pipsqueak." Flutterwing told her sister.
"We were as far as we could possibly be from him and that bastard found us!" Acorn used swear words with confidence. "How else am I supposed to react? He even sent one of his demon birds after us!"
"Demon birds?" Fluttershy squealed.
"Blue Jays." Flutterwing and Acorn explained. Dandelion ran up to her mother, trying what she could to comfort her.
"What is so scary about a bunch of birds?" Rainbow Dash asked. Flutterwing quickly got in Dash's face.
"Have you ever been chased down the street by a flock of blue jays? Been attacked by at least twenty in broad daylight and nothing you did would get those birds to fly away? Has your sister been having nightmares about blue jays killing you and leaving her powerless to help? Any of that scary enough for you?"
Everypony (and dragon) was stunned silent.
Applejack walked up to Acorn.
"I think there was more to yer story Sugarcube." Acorn nodded, looking at her older sister and niece.
"It started a few months back. When Flutterwing was turning 14." Acorn began.
