I arrived at school extra early, as usual. I wanted to get in some time to get this assignment done. I completely forgot I had been assigned this over the weekend, and ended up waking up super early to finish it in time. So not fair. I mean, it’s my birthday weekend. I should get a free pass or something.

But... It’s a pretty fun assignment to do. My job is to draw one pony in my class (not including myself) in a Nightmare Night costume of my choice. After drawing it, you have to place it in the box on Cheerilee’s class. At the end of class today, one random picture will be drawn and Cheerilee will make a costume of that kind for the pony in the costume.

I almost didn’t know what to draw, but then I thought to a certain comment from Silver the other day. So I decided to draw Scootaloo in a chicken costume. I SO hope this gets chosen.

Soon the other students start to arrive, the first to arrive are the students who generally have good habits and get here early. In addition to myself, this includes Silver Spoon, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Pipsqueak, and Featherweight. Then there are those that get here on time or a little late. This includes Scootaloo, (I quickly hide the sketch I finished in the box before she sees) Archer, and Truffle Shuffle. Then there are those that make us wait for longer than we need to. They either get lost all the time or finish their homework later than usual. I was almost in the last category this morning, and that scares me. Twist, Button Mash and Rumble arrive late, but not late enough to get into trouble. Snips and Snails however, arrived so late that we all payed witness to a lecture about tardiness and being on time.

Generally, the school day went ok. I wouldn’t say anything Earth-shattering happened. I’m sure I would have felt Truffle Shuffle falling down. When we were let out for recess, Silver and I went directly for the swing set. We decided to make some small talk while we took turns pushing each other on the swings.

“So, Silver Spoon? What do you plan on dressing up as for Nightmare Night?”

“I’m sorry to say... It’s a secret!” Silver Spoon is giggling, it’s usually not good when she’s giggling.

“Oh come on... You can tell me.”

“Alright, alright. I’m making my own superhero costume! I bet you’ll never guess what I’m going to call myself?”

Something related to spoons most likely. But I’ll humor her for now. “No, what is it?”

“It’s called... The Silver Spooner! It just came to me in a dream!”

“Oh wow! I never would have guessed!” I totally guessed it.

“Anyway, Diamond Tiara, my parent’s are hosting an almost Nightmare Night party tomorrow, and lots of ponies are going to come and were all going to watch scary movies all night long! I’m sure you want to come!” I’d have to ask Daddy, but I’m sure he’d let me go to the party.

“Sure thing, Silver Spoon. This is going to be so much fun!”

We had plenty of fun the rest of the school day, especially once Cheerilee announced who the winner of the costume was.

“The pony who is going to have a costume is... Featherweight! In a Spider Colt costume!”

Oh well, not everything can go as you’d want it too. Silver and I head back home once the final bell rings. We are filled with excitement of what’s to come!

...Yes, that’s it for today. Sad to say not much exciting happened that day, but from now up until Nightmare Night, the stories I tell will be very exciting, I assure you!
