Chapter eight minor spoilers.
Scootaloo’s eyes drooped lower and lower each passing second Twilight talked. The fight to stop them was an effortless fight. She closed them just for a second before opening them again.
Scootaloo yawned and shook herself awake.
The poor batpony had lost track of time. All train of thought was lost, but yet her ears had to remain active. Even with her enhanced hearing, words came out as, “And the blah blah went to the blah blah blah!” One could never question how any pony could make a limited source of information so long.
“So boring….must….resist sleep!”
Her head banged on the desk when her face slipped from her hoof pillow. Her eyes shot opened with a shout, “I’m awake!”
Twilight’s eyes narrowed. “Scootaloo.”
If Twilight found out she spaced out during the lecture, the punishment was endless. The one that scared her the most was the flashcards Twilight would have her answer.
A pencil and a paper sat right in front of her face, Perfect. She stacked them and placed it back on the desk. Her hooves folded themselves together and a huge, friendly fang smile took over her face.
“You wasn’t paying any attention were you?” Twilight said with a bemused look.
Scootaloo scrunched her nose. "I was,” she said, turning away.
Twilight scoffed with the roll of her eyes. “Honestly, is this how you act in class?”
“No, sir!” she shouted as she saluted the confused alicorn. She giggled, but stopped when Twilight groaned through her frown.
Her smile dropped as her hoof, hitting the desk. “Ugh, I’ll listen!” A small squee came from alicorn as she picked up the stick and resumed the lesson.
Once again, Scootaloo reverts back to her old lesson hating self....not for long. *Laughs as he twirls his mustache*
The beginning was inspired by this.
Minus Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom of course.
Nice, nice - proceed. I wonder if we get it before the next weekend...
One thing.
This doesn't make much sense. First, using the same word twice in one sentence sounds awkward, and second, calling it 'effortless' means that it's really easy, which is obviously not what you meant. If it were me, I'd have written:
... or something like that.
4002502 Thanks I knew something was off with that sentence.
