    Cheerilee loves teaching. Despite all the trials and tribulations it presents, it's worth it in the end when her students learn something new. Not even a letter from the Ministry of Education reminding her about the impending teacher evaluations can sway her. But tack on her new relationship, the constant 'help' of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and some strange behavior from Dinky and Sparkler, and her life is about to become a lot more complicated.

    This story is set in parallel with The Life and Times of a Winning Pony and The Study of a Winning Pony with the approval of Chengar Qordath, Comma-Kazie and Ponibius.

    Many, many heartfelt thanks go to Chengar Qordath, Comma-Kazie, and Ponibius for allowing me to make my own contribution to their shared setting. In addition, more thanks go to them and Aegis Exemplar for helping me with plot development and correcting my atrocious grammar :rainbowlaugh:

    Ah, Cheerliee. So many shenanigans to suffer through, so little time for us to enjoy them.

    Definitely looking forward to more.

    Nice work so far, and I am really wondering what you plan to do with this.  Cheerilee does not really play much of a roll in CK's life outside the sleepover disaster, so you have a lot of freedom to work in your own direction without running into that plot or Twilight's research.

    Wow... yeah I'm totally digging this story. Great job, and man I feel so sorry for Cheerilee. I know the feels she has all too well. The terrors of babysitting small children like that could be classified along side waterboard torture.

    A Pinkie Sense for the exact location of Dashie, I love it. Especially the bit with her ear.

    Huh, so CheeriMac. Works for me, as much as I like some other Mac ships, this is the one that really seems most likely to eventually become canon, if any ship ever does that is.

    I had totally forgotten about Cheerilee and the sleepover at the beginning of Winning Pony, hilarious to see her side of it. The Young Daring Do book is a nice touch.

    >>1549931 Well that's just what interested me. She didn't have a role in Cloud Kicker's interactions and misadventures, but Ponyville's a big town, and the pegasi aren't the only ponies living there. So their internal behavior is going to ripple through the town, and I wanted to try exploring that from a non-pegasus angle. Plus, Cheerilee is awesome :rainbowlaugh: and I'd always wanted to write something involving her in a leading role.

    The Winning-verse sure is growing.  It's no Fallout: Equestria yet, but it's gaining a pretty decent spread of side-stories, considering Life and Times of a Winning Pony is itself technically a side story.

    I really want to read this right now, but I have to work on my own writing at some point and maybe I should try and hunt down some kind of nourishment this week...  To the Read Later list!

    I'm a little torn. Up until Cloud Kicker shows up this is bland and boring like a blank fresco, but after “I got tricked into foalsitting the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” everything gets enormously better and more interesting. I know the first half has something to do with the main plot arc or something, but I'm positive you could've made it feel less like filler without sacrificing anything (unless Chekhov's guns everywhere, but I doubt it).

    I'm gonna see what happens.

    “I don’ think those were swords, swords are supposed to be hard and made of metal, aren’t they? Your sister’s were all made of that weird rubbery stuff,” Applebloom said, her eyebrows narrowed in thought.

    You know, judging by CMC's appearances in MLP:FIM, I always figured that Applebloom was a bright student, maybe top of her class (despite her.....background) and Sweetie Bell right up there along with her fellow CMC; Scootaloo might be above average but still gets low marks often. But that's just my opinion.

    other than that.......

    Was overall a quite good story imo.

    A tad bit too tired to give a decent review, but it was good as said. Still hoping to see more norm breaking from this story timeline, like a mention of a "sword with a hole in it" or such. Especially in terms of "derogatory terms", "stereotype/norm breaking" (applies to both others) and ... "endowment wise, but for both genders" I'd guess to call it. But yeah, I think you did a good Cheerilee, and it had a good flow. (not sure ponies would eat fish though)

    The word is cuntblock.She isn't stopping Big Mac, she's stopping the various horned harlots and winged wenches and just plain whorses that just want a taste of Big Mac without buying the whole pie. Not even a whole slice. When you're at a buffet and you see the awesome desert that your mom made special and some idiot kid takes the biggest piece, takes a bite and throws the rest away...its 9 kinds of wrong.
