Contemplating this crazy feeling
It was a gorgeous morning. The sun was chasing the clouds in the sky, the birds were chirping, and Twist felt like she was on top of the world. She sniffed at the fresh air, sighing contentedly as she heard the squeaking of squirrels in the nearby trees. The land of Equestria, and especially Ponyville, was breathtaking in early morning. "Twist!" A purple unicorn filly yelled as she ran up to her friend, hooves kicking up the rocks on the pathway to the school-house. Twist looked back at her, eyes shining.
"Hi Dinkthy!" Twist had always had a... lisp to her voice. Her parents told her it was because one of her vocal cords was... ever so slightly Un-alligned with the rest, which caused her to sound like she was talking with her tongue pressed to her front teeth. It annoyed most everybody except D inky. "Are you ath all nerthus about the test? I think I goth it down."
"Nah, I got it under control. I stayed up most of the night studying, though it was annoying because button mash kept yelling from next door. A video game or something." Now that Twist thought about it, Dinky did look pretty tired.
"Well, if you need any helpth in the futhure, I'd be happy to helpth you!" Every-pony knew that Twist was the smartest pony in class. Being so focused on the lessons and grasping them easily made her a perfect teacher's pet. Suddenly Dinky looked at Twist with excitement and nervousness in her eyes.
"Hey, Twist? Who are you taking to the school dance on hearts and hooves day?" Twist stopped in her tracks. With her mind on that huge test, she had forgotten all about the school dance.
"gee, I don'th know Dinkthy. No pony yeth." Twist shifted her hooves nervously. Dinky gasped.
"But Twist! The dance is tomorrow!" Twist looked at her hooves. Colts had never been her strong-suit. She always found herself either thinking of them as friends or too shy to ask them out. Wait, scratch that, the second had never happened. Twist had never given her heart to a colt.
"I know Dinkthy. I'm.. still thinking about ith. Anyway... who are you athking?" Dinky had always been better with the colts. Many of the colts in school had a crush on her. Though Twist knew the one colt that Dinky liked back.
"Actually... I'm going with Pip!" Dinky said, starting to blush a little. Pip had been Dinky's first and only crush. Twist was happy that her friend finally got the courage to ask him out.
"Good for you Dinkthy!" Twist smiled, the sun glinting on her new braces. Her parents had let her get them because Twist's teeth were pretty crooked, adding to her dorky look. Twist didn't really think she was the kind of filly that stallions would have a crush on like Dinky. But Twist knew that unless she wanted to be a social outcast, she needed to get a date and go. It made Twist nervous.
Twist and Dinky walked in silence for a while until they got to school. Frankly, Twist was more worried about the test then finding a date. When they entered the schoolyard, it began to rain. Twist didn't really like the rain. It made her hair frizz uncomfortably. So, she hurried in side and sat down at her desk. She had a desk near the front of the class because she used to have very bad vision. She still kept her old seat after she had got her glasses. She settled down into a comfy position and waited for class to begin. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Snips and Snails, the 'weirdest' ponies in school. She wondered about them sometimes. And while she thought that Snips had a rather... thin personality, she thought Snails was harder to figure out. While most found him lazy, too slow, and just overall stupid, Twist thought she saw something... deeper. Like a hidden purpose behind a fairly blank wall. Just thinking about the pony most assumed as dumb made her blush. She quickly straightened up. What was she thinking? Snails was just a friend... right? Twist wondered through the rest of class, heart not really in it as it was on most days. It was a good thing that they didn't have any pop quizzes that day. Twist's mind kept circling back to Snails. She didn't get it. She was the smartest filly in class! She didn't need a crush or a colt-friend. She didn't even need to go to the stupid dance... right? But she still felt that weird feeling when she was looking at Snails. Maybe It had been there all along, but she only noticed it now that it was getting to be hearts and hooves day. She was so drifted in her pattern of thoughts that it took her a moment to realize that the teacher had called on her. "Umm... two?" Twist answered absent-mindedly.
"Twist! This is history! What does 2 have to do with how Cadence became an alicorn?" Cheerilee stomped a hoof on the ground in clear annoyance of the filly. "Whats going on Twist? You seem off today!" Twist's face turned red as she heard giggling sound behind her. She heard Diamond tiara exchange a couple words with Silver spoon.
"What a scandal! Little miss star student can't even remember what class shes in!" Silver spoon giggled in reply. Twist lay her ears back in shame.
"I'm sthorry misth cheerilee." Cheerilee sighed.
"Meet me after class Twist." Twist gasped and shrunk down in her seat. Detention!? She had never gotten detention before! Twist gritted her teeth through the last painstaking 15 minutes of class. When the rest of the class departed to recess, Twist looked at cheerilee nervously. Cheerilee glared at the young filly, then her gaze softened. "Twist. Is this about the hearts and hooves day dance?" Twist looked embarrassed.
"Yeth mith cheerilee..." Twist said, looking at her hooves. Cheerilee smiled.
"You know Twist, I had a crush when I was your age too." Twist jolted her head up in surprise.
"You dith!?" Cheerilee nodded. Twist couldn't have imagined Cheerilee having a crush.
"Yes, I did. You may know him. A stallion called Big mac?" Cheerilee looked out the window as if remembering old times. "The trick is to make the first move, because most stallions will be to oblivious to ask you out. If you find a stallion who asks you out first, you have a good coltfriend." Twist smiled.
"Thanks so much mith Cheerilee!" Twist said, very nervous but still more confident about this whole dance, colt-friend thing then before, and having an idea of a good coltfriend.
"You're very welcome Twist. Now you run off and have some fun with your friends." Twist smiled and ran outside, where the rain had just stopped, giving the whole schoolyard a dewy, shiny, and wet gleam. And now she waited.

Often, when two characters are shipped, their names are combined, as in fluttercord, sparity, etc. Twails is the combination of the names twist and snails, because they are shipped characters. I hope this helped
sweet celestia is this awesome

Thanks again for reading!
I feel like Twist would have lisped the word test. Like to "Tetht" or something.
But the prom's tomorrow!
Pronouns are your friends.
It feels like Cherilee was a little harsh. Maybe it was the exclamation points, maybe it was the hoof-stomping, but it certainly didn't come off as a concerned mentor who noticed one of her star pupils was off-form.
