Birthday Bonanza
Uncle smiled softly to himself as he and Jackie set up the last few details within the shop's living area. He had been waiting for this day for several years now. While he hadn't thought something like this was necessary when he'd believed the fillies to be just animals, once they started talking, he knew it was. However, he was insistent on waiting on any of these until the three of them were cognizant enough to be fully aware of everything involved. Their taking good care of Rhino showed they were ready to handle things responsibly, and the fact that they were now speaking complete - if sometimes broken - sentences showed their minds had fully developed as far as conscious memory went. As such, Uncle decided it was time to begin a few...celebrations.
Once the fillies had gone to bed the previous night, he and Jackie had worked all through the night to have everything prepared by sunrise, not wanting anything to spoil the surprise. The decorations were hung, the presents were prepared, the cake was baked, and the candles were lit. Now, all that was left was the fillies.
As Uncle should have guessed, without him to wake them up at sunrise, they slept in an extra two hours. Thankfully, Jackie had the sense to extinguish the candles before the wax could reach the cake, and wait to reignite them until the fillies could be heard moving about upstairs. Once that was heard, Jackie lit the candles again. The sound of the match brought the fillies racing down to see what was going on, only for them all to gasp in amazement.
Uncle smiled down at them all. "Happy Birthday," he said warmly. He pulled out the chairs for the three to make their way to the table. Once they were all up, Jackie began singing.
As the song finished, Jackie smiled widely. "Now make a wish and blow out the candles," he instructed.
Grinning widely, Scootaloo spread her wings.
"Aiyah!" Uncle shouted out, scared of the mess that might happen. "Breath only!"
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle giggled as Scootaloo frowned. The three then tilted their heads in thought before each of them smiled. They then leaned forward together and blew out the candles.
Jackie clapped happily as he began serving out breakfast along with slices of the cake, which was decorated with orange, yellow, and white icing. Since it was their birthday - or, at the very least, the anniversary of their arrival, which Uncle had decided to treat as such - it had been decided that the three could eat however they wanted for today. Unsurprisingly, upon being told this, Scootaloo promptly buried her face in her plate, snarfing away. Apple Bloom swiftly joined her, with only Sweetie Belle carefully levitating each bite to her mouth.
Uncle and Jackie enjoyed their own breakfasts and cake, watching the fillies indulge. Once they were done eating, they promptly picked Apple Bloom and Scootaloo up, carrying them to the sink.
"What gives?" Apple Bloom complained.
"You ate rather messily," Jackie told the filly in his hands. "So you need a bath."
"What about Sweetie?" Scootaloo whined angrily.
"She no eat messy!" Uncle countered.
Smirking, Sweetie Belle blew Scootaloo a raspberry...only to get a bit of cake from Scootaloo's mane thrown in her face. "Uncle..." she whimpered.
Sighing, Uncle dropped Scootaloo into the warm water in the sink before going back to scoop up Sweetie Belle. "Not cool, Scootaloo," Jackie scolded.
"But..." Scootaloo complained, wilting under his gaze.
"There are better ways to handle things like that," he chided as the three fillies got their impromptu bath...even if this did result in vast amounts of water being transferred from the sink to all over Jackie, Uncle, and the kitchen.
On the table, Rhino popped his way out of his hamster ball, grabbed a forgotten baby carrot off Scootaloo's plate, stuffed it into his cheeks along with a hunk of cake, before climbing back into his hamster ball and sealing it back up, rolling away to where he could dock with his maze and stash his sneaky find, hoping he'd have time to come back and grab more.
Once the three fillies were cleaned, Uncle and Jackie brought them to their presents, which got the three even more excited. For Apple Bloom, Uncle had gotten her her own miniature greenhouse and planting pots, so she could experiment with growing her own plants magical and otherwise. Sweetie Belle received a toy microphone and a book on the magical properties of music. Having seen one of the ways Scootaloo liked getting around, Jackie had gotten her a scooter sized to her body, along with a little wagon for the other two to ride in behind her. He thought it appropriate somehow for reasons he could not explain, but was pleased to see the three so overjoyed with their gifts, bouncing up and down happily and cheering, and babbling to each other about everything they were going to do with them. Jackie couldn't help but be worried when Scootaloo talked about racing down the hills with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle pulled behind her. He'd seen her idea of safe speeds. He made a mental note to get all three helmets as soon as possible...and pads as well, if not full fledged padded body suits...though those would probably be difficult and have to be custom made.
Uncle smiled softly down at the fillies as they babbled excitedly. "Girls, Uncle has extra surprise for you." As his words reached them, the trio rushed over, smiling widely. "Uncle knows you three have been fussing, need more space and time than Uncle can give. One more thing, Uncle thinks fillies could use friends, and wider learning than just magic." The three fillies smiled, liking the sound of making friends and learning more. "Uncle has found solution, though. Starting tomorrow, fillies enrolled in school! How is that for birthday surprise?"
The three fillies stared up at Uncle, tilting their heads in confusion. Jackie groaned, burying his face in his palm. "Bad day..." he groaned, not looking forward to what was sure to happen.

So this should be interesting to explain away. So how will their classmates react to the ponies is the question? I feel sorry for their teachers, they have no clue on what these three will be unleashed upon them.
He's going to have to turn those "Normal-ness" amulets up to eleven to get away with this.
Unless he has a magical school on hand... now if only we knew Where To Find Magical Creatures such as Them. Multiversal crossover anyone?
You have no idea, Jackie
The CMC just keep getting cuter don't they?

DAMN it feels good to be back!! Excellent work as usual, and looking forward to Ryno...sorry, Rhino will get up to...(still thinking weapon of mass destruction). That said, can't wait for the next one, take care!!
7262412 Maybe you should also count the "Bad days." as well.
School could be very good, or very bad.
Well, if normal school doesn't work out then they could always- wait... that wouldn't work. After all those were demonic schools, and I doubt that Uncle would send the CMC there even if they had prior experience with ponies.
7262443 My idea behind this is to run a counter for Uncle's catchphrases, even if it isn't always Uncle who is saying them.
One More Thing! while running a "Bad Day" Counter seems like the next step, there is someone else already keeping track of them.
One More Thing! I don't really consider it to be a "Catchphrase" for Jackie in the same way that I Identify Uncle with "Aiyah" or "One More Thing.
One More Thing! Save for a few places, Jackie has a habit of repeating "Bad Day" multiple times in the same line, meaning that if I ran a counter for it, I would consider each repetition as its own count. This would quickly overtake even the "One More Thing" counter, especially once we get to the events of JCA Proper, and as such the counter would become somewhat bloated.
One More Thing! I find Jackie to be significantly less amusing than Uncle, and therefore feel no need to keep track of what he says outside of the context of what I need to remember to follow the plot.
... I believe the joke writes itself here.
I'd try to present you guys with a pun here by I already did.
At least we don't need to worry about Apple Bloom... planting any seeds of mischief.
I wonder if they should make a new saying of a Rhino in an antique shop. Hmm, probably better to stash that idea though I'm not sure if many would carrot all.
Oh dear. Rhino's intelligent. Can't wait to see where that's gonna go.
Well at least Jade's 'crazy' stories will be slightly less crazy sounding by the time she starts at school.
Uncle enrolled three magical fillies into a school full of humans.
This will only end in chaos.
7262441 To be fair, Rhino's a PWNY pet. Based on past experience (Chompy from Fortresshy, Snowball & Mr. Fuzzy-Biter from Sparkle of His Eye, etc.), that probably means he either is a weapon of mass destruction or will eventually become one (knowing the CMC, the change will probably involve copious amounts of tree sap, mayhem, and a rather drastic increase in the "Aiyah!" and/or "Bad day bad day bad day!" counters).
7262377 It could either be Technological Technicolor Technomare all over again, or it could be like Merc with the Moth and end GLORIOUSLY.
7262555 It "ending in chaos" will be putting it lightly. Loving this fiction, just as much as I used to love this old cartoon when I was a kid.
7262558
...oh...I'm COUNTING on it...
...that was totally necessary...DON'T JUDGE ME!!!
7262444
It typically is!
School just suddenly got interesting, but for who exactly (the CMC or everyone else at the school) remains a mystery that will soon be answered.
Fun now, chaos later. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the great work. Deus tecum.
7262555
That is an understatement.
7262377 Ahem:
"They're European."
Problem solved, totally believable. No problems here!
7262771
That only worked for the coneheads.
7262808 Counterpoint: It worked for the Coneheads
7262885 they have amulets of ordinarity, they could say they were aliens and no one would find it weird.
7262542 one could say you're ... pulling out the big puns.
Just claim that they're Welsh, people will believe anything about that place, so they'll pass scrutiny with ease.
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
This can only end in tears.
Uncle used too much weed in his last spell, how could uncle think of sending those terrors to a school?
CMC go to school? What is the worst that can happen?
i see mass panic, destruction and swat teams in the future
7263421 you just had to tempt Murphy!
Anypony else thought they would cause some magical phenomenon after blowing the candles?
7262895 Not my best, but I'll stop... for now.
*Slot gets stuck. Pull it fully open before it got caught again half way. Duct taped the rest of the opening.*
Tony Stark's little Dashie couldn't survive school! And DeadPool's moth destroyed a school!
What makes you think a school is going to survive three tiny fillies?!
...can the necklaces even protect them? As in "They're just like us; what is wrong?" kind of way?
Yeah, wondering exactly how the HELL that's gonna work.
7263569 So long as we keep them away from ARC reactors and shop class we may have a fighting chance...but just in case i'm getting bradford on the horn, just in case.
7262379 Try taking a look at this, plenty of options here.
At this point I think the twist will be that the fillies have a perfectly normal first day of school.
Hopefully uncle enrolls them into a magic school and not a normal one cause if it is a normal school then I know what Jackie dreads will happen tenfold.
7264535 Bad day. Bad day. Bad day for everyone involved.
7264591
Its a bad day universe.
7264632 Beware the Batmare? Beware the Crusaders!
7264777
Truer words have never been spoken until now.
I have a feeling they are going to have a bad time.
Why didn't Applebloom get a gift?
Also, the pendants don't disguise the fillies as human. And kids are way more willing to believe in the strange and weird so the pendants might not work on kids.
