Chapter 7 – Long day

The day has started to move a little slower since Twilight got the letter from Celestia, and like you thought her ability to only do simple things has run out as you look around the clutter table of books where the elements of harmony's box still sits.

Twilight's head is buried in Star Swirl’s old book as she talks out loud, "...This book is almost useless?!" She floats it up next to her with the pages out towards you, but like the few other times she's done it her back and forth trotting pace keeps you from really seeing it, "...How could Celestia have let this book get so damaged? Just about every page is unreadable, and the spell Celestia wants me to complete doesn't even look like a spell...it doesn't even rhyme?!"

You have no idea what shes talking about seeing as how she hasn't read the spell nor really stopped to let you see the book. But her wide soft purple eyes focus too as she stops her pacing, you blink to her stare as you think, this is how Spike must feel. You hold the smile as you get up from your chair and walk over to her, "Hey, just calm down, its just a spell."

Bad move, at your word's Twilight cocks her head to you, "Just a spell? Celestia thought this spell was important enough to send when we’re planning our wedding."

You roll your eyes to her as she starts back up her pacing along with her under toned mumbling, "oh...why did she send this now?"

You hold your hoof out to her as you talk, "Maybe you can just have Spike send a letter when he gets home?"

Twilight nods her head as she starts to calm herself down, but her calm eyes don't stay long as her large soft purple shimmer, "OH Celestia! We're going to be late for Violet!"

You squint to her words as she quickly darts over to the table and slowly places the old book down, "Twilight? No we're not?"

She turns her head back to you as she nods her head, "Yes, we're not thirty minutes early."

You give a slight chuckle to her as you walk towards the door, "I'll get Violet..." You turn your head to her as you hold your hoof out to her, "You just need to calm down."

She shakes her head as she smile and moves closer towards you, "But I want to know how Violet's first day was! I want to meet any little friends she might have made."

You look over her wide smile as you think, ya and then you'll scare them off. You hold the dumb thought as you shake your head, "I can get her...you might scare her friends."

Twilight blinks to your words as she cocks her head, "What's that supposed to mean?"

You don't answer her as you give her a smile and start out the door, "I'll be back in a little."

As you leave the house you stop for a moment as you look around the sky above you, you know that it's not time for the sun to go down, or at least you think you do, but the sky around the town has started to take on a darkened color. You keep your head up as you start to trot towards the town, it doesn't look like it's about to rain and as you stare at it a little long you start to think about the clouds Rainbow said they brought in from the Everfree forest. With that thought you bring your head down as you continue your walk.

The journey through the town and towards the schoolhouse has started to come to its end as you bring your eyes to a group of other ponies, most of the older ponies are mares but as you get a little closer you notice a few stallions.

You stop your walk as you turn to the schoolhouse, the voices of the ponies near you come to your ears but you don't really pay attention to them as you wait.

But your silent stance doesn't get to stay long as you feel a slight gust of wind on your back and a voice above you, "Well hello again."

You turn your head to the dark orange coated pegasus as he lands next to you, you give a friendly smile as you try to think of the stallion's name. You're not completely sure but you finally speak up as you say a name, "Hello Volt."

Your slight guess at a name must have been right as the stallion starts to talk, "Decided to put your daughter in preschool huh?"

You nod your head as he continues, "Well hopefully she had a good first day."

Before you can speak up your voice is cut off by a loud bell ringing, you turn your head back to the school a little surprised the bell actually rang, a slight chuckle escapes your mouth as you think over the old style school.

You watch a few young foals quickly and happily galloping out of the open door, but you don't share in the joy of seeing Violet as your eyes drift to the mare walking next to Violet with another pale pink filly next to her, you can tell by the pale pink filly's hair that Violet did something.

You give a slightly disappointed groan as you walk forward, your voice doesn't come out though as you listen to the older mare.

"Hello Mr.Sparkle, I regret to inform you that your daughter had a bit of an incident today and will not be able to attend our preschool program."

You blink your eyes to her words as you shift your eyes to the sad looking light purple filly, a slightly uncomfortable feeling comes through your stomach as you look her expression over, "What happened?"

Ms.Pleasant's voice is cut off as the pale pink filly speaks up in a high pitched whiny voice, "She's mean and called me a dummy."

You blink to the filly's words but your voice is cut off again as Ms.Pleasant speaks up, "Violet used her magic to hurt another one of her classmates, and we can not allow foals into the program if they are not mature enough to play nice."

You think over the pale pink filly's words as you talk, "But Violet can't ta-..."

"No buts Mr.Sparkle, Violet may not attend the preschool until she is a proper mature age."
You don't get to say anything else as Ms.Pleasant turns towards the group of ponies and trots away with the pale pink filly.

Violet has her head down and her eyes fixed to the dirt as you turn your head back to her.

You give a sigh as you talk, "Violet...you know not to use magic on other ponies." You watch the little filly shake her head as she doesn't make eye contact with you.

You hold your stare to her still a little disappointed to what you were told but now just a little upset she was kicked out for one thing, "Come on Violet lets go home." You move yourself beside her as you start to walk with her.

But both of you stop as you hear a voice behind you call out, "Hey Viowit, you forgot this!"

You turn your head around as you watch the familiar orange coated colt quickly galloping towards you two with Violet's purple pouch in his mouth.

You take it from the little colt as Volt comes next to him, you nod your head as you float the pouch’s strap around you, "Thank you."

The older stallion next to him nudges Sparky as he talks, "Come buddy, I think we should get going."

Sparky nods his head as he looks to Violet, "Thank you for doing something to that meany."

Volt's ear flicks a little as he bends his head down to the colt, "What meany?" The colt doesn't say anything else as he waves goodbye to Violet and trots away with his dad following close behind him.

Violet copy's his hoof motion as she brings her head back up, you look down to the little light purple filly as you try to piece together what you think might have happened. But Violet notices your stare and again puts her head back to the ground.

You get a slight smile as you bend your head down to her, "You know you have to tell mommy right?"

Violet doesn't move her head as you hold your smile, "...But lets go see if Pinkie ever made those cupcakes hm?"

Her blue eyes come back to you as she holds a slightly confused face to you.

You hold your smile to her as you wait for her to follow after you, her happy hop gallop comes back to you as you give a slight chuckle to it. But your smile is held to your thoughts as you think, it may have took a little longer, but I finally won this argument with Twilight...Violet won't be in preschool to soon. The thought is bittersweet but as you watch the little filly's happy gallop you push any negative thoughts aside as you trot beside her.
