	It was 6 o'clock, and Harmony was snoring. That is until he was awoken by Golden Pond. It had been about 6 weeks since the "pony bet" began. 
"Psst! Harmony! Wake up!" Golden Pond hissed. "We're gonna be late!" Harmony opened his eyes, and he forgot, for a moment, the situation.
"What?" Harmony asked. "Late?" It was dark, so he couldn't see Pond's pony face.
"Yeah! Late for school." Pond elaborated. Harmony bolted upright.
"Oh shoot!" He cried, and (attempting to get up like a human) fell right on his face. He groaned and rubbed his muzzle. He then remembered he had a muzzle. "Oh, right." He sighed, fully remembering his current scenario. He stood up again, this time on four legs, and untangled himself from the sheets. Pond cocked her head.
"You alright?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." With that, they raced to the kitchen and ate breakfast, then ran through the streets of Canterlot to school.



"Ok, class, today we have 2 new students joining us," Mrs. Learn Budd announced. A certain colt's ears perked up. Wavey Line was the usual one to show new students around. Mrs. Learn Budd motioned for the students to enter.
"This, Is Golden Pond, and Harmony." Learn Budd introduced the two, each nodding as their name was said. "Now, go pick your seats and we can start class."  Wavey Line started waving the two to the seats adjacent to him. The seats were on opposite sides of Wavey, this caused the two to look at each other, shrug, and sit down in the seats Wavey had directed.
"Hi! I'm Wavey Line!" Wavey whispered to Golden and Harmony. "We can talk at recess!"
And so, Mrs. Learn Budd started the lesson.



The history lesson ended at around 11:00, which lead to lunch. The two walked out to the school yard, where they were to eat lunch.
"We forgot lunch!" Harmony hissed. Pond thought for a moment, the realised they had, in fact, forgotten to make lunch.
"Pony feathers," Golden muttered. She then looked surprised. "Pony feathers," She repeated. "Buck, grass, stitch! I can't say swear words!" Pond realised. Harmony started laughing.
"Those 'pony brand swears' are adorable!" Harmony laughed. The two reached the lunch tables and sat down. A few seconds later, Wavey Line sat down as well.
"So guys, welcome to school!" Wavey greeted the two. "How are you liking it so far?"
"It's been fine so far," Harmony replied.
"I've liked it, too." Pond added. "It's nice to go back to school."
"That's great!" Wavey said excitedly. "I'm glad you're loving it! Now, let's show you two around!" It was excellent timing because Harmony and Pond had forgotten their lunches. They hadn't realized it yet, so this would be a good distraction.

30 minutes later...

"So, that's the whole school!" Wavey Line said finally.
"Wow, this is a pretty big school." Harmony commented. Pond nodded in agreement.
"Yeah," Pond said absently, looking out at the playground. She suddenly had the child-like urge to go play, to swing on the swings and slide on the slides. "Hey Harmony," Pond nudged him. "You wanna go play foursquare?" She asked, succumbing to the urge. Harmony looked at her for a moment, then he began to feel that same urge, only he knew that his age had been regressed slightly.
"Sure, why not!" He said. So, the three of them played foursquare until it was time to go home.
