Graduation Day (preview) · 6:00am Feb 2nd, 2018
The following background song that plays in here is titled "This Is Our Year" from the series finale of Kim Possible, and the scene is from a planned future Equestria Girls story.
“Applejack!”
The hard-working teenager walked up the stage, and shook hands with Celestia, as well as Luna’s once the vice principal handed her the diploma.
“Whoo! That’s my big sister!” cheered an excited Applebloom, who was sitting in the audience in between Granny Smith, Big Mac, and Grand Pear.
Once Applejack was off the stage, Celestia went back to the name of students that remained on her list, and read the one that was next. “Fluttershy!”
Taking a deep breath, the yellow-skinned teenager walked up onto the stage to receive her diploma, and as everyone gave their applause, a standing Zephyr - sitting by their parents - decided to do what Applebloom had done. “Whoo! Way to go, baby sister!”
Fluttershy gave a sheepish chuckle as her face turned red with embarrassment when standing by AJ and the other students in their graduating class, and her friend placed a hand on her shoulder. “He means well, sugarcube… at least you ain’t -”
“Rainbow Dash!”
As the athletic teenager went up to get her diploma, both of Rainbow’s parents stood up in their seat to cheer extremely loud for their daughter, as well as chanting her name several times, while a teary-eyed Scootaloo watched with a wide smile on her face.
“Betcha glad they don’t allow fireworks, huh?” teased Applejack, and a red-faced Rainbow scowled at her amused friend.
“Shhh! Don’t ruin anything!”
Next up was Starlight Glimmer, followed soon after by Trixie, but just as she was about to get her diploma, Celestia cleared her throat. “Actually, um… Trixie, you won’t be able to receive this diploma until tomorrow.”
“Wait, what?” cried an alarmed Trixie, and Luna nodded in agreement.
“You’re one credit short because you failed the last math test of the school year,” explained the v.p. of CHS. “And it had a negative effect on your grade, so you’re one credit short… but you can make it up by coming here tomorrow for Saturday school.”
Trixie’s mouth almost dropped to the ground after hearing that, and a returning Starlight quickly pulled her away before she could say anything that was bad.
“I told you to take that test seriously!” hissed the human version of Starlight, and Trixie rolled her eyes.
“I thought it was a pop quiz, not an actual test!”
Starlight let out a sigh, and she said, “Well, it looks like we got some studying to do tonight.”
Trixie groaned in utter disappointment, and muttered to herself while Celestia called Pinkie Pie up to the stage.
“Yippie!” cried the excited teenager, and smiled widely over to her applauding family in the audience, with a smiling Maud clapping for Pinkie at a slow pace.
Up next was Rarity, who’d designed her own fabulous graduation gown, and she waved happily at her parents and little sister, who was holding up a “congrats” sign that had been wonderfully designed for this occasion. “That’s my big sister up there!”
The next student to receive a diploma was Casey, due to his last name being Rhodes, and he shared a handshake with Starlight once the light-orange teenager had joined his friends, with Pinkie giving him a bear hug.
“Sunset Shimmer!”
The bacon-haired teenager quietly walked onto the stage, but just as she was about to get her diploma, Sunset found herself looking at the audience after hearing a familiar voice cheer for her.
“Congratulations, sweetheart! You’ve made your daddy proud!”
A speechless and surprised Sunset smiled with watery eyes as she watched her father stand up in his seat to cheer for her, and she also saw a familiar friend sitting next to him that quickly gave her a playful wink.
“Thank you,” mouthed Sunset, speaking to both her father and the pony-princess-turned-teenage counterpart of Twilight, while a confused Rainbow asked Applejack who the gentleman applauding for Sunset was.
“That’s her dad, Rainbow… ain’t you been payin’ attention?”
“Sunset has a dad?” Applejack rolled her eyes, and thumped Rainbow on the back of her head. “Ow!”
“Twilight Sparkle!”
Everyone that was there gave an applause for the senior valedictorian, and Princess Twilight’s human self sheepishly waved at her family in the audience, as well as Principal Cadence, who was sitting beside an excited Shining Armor.
“Way to go, Twily!”
When Twilight joined her friends, Rainbow let out a chuckle before saying, “Now you know how I feel, huh?"
Her friend just nodded in agreement, and they watched as the next student in line - Twinkle Star - received a diploma.
“Thank you very much for helping me this year, Fluttershy” said Twinkle, once she
had joined the others. “I am so glad that I asked you to tutor me.”
Before a smiling Fluttershy could give a response, a sheepish Trixie asked, “Um… is it too late to ask for help in studying tonight so-”
“I’d be happy to, Trixie,” replied the yellow-skinned teenager, and an amused Starlight rolled her eyes while Trixie let out a huge sigh of relief. “Oh, look who is after you, Twinkle.”
“Beck Woods!”
When the graduating future botanist approached his friends, Twinkle happily gave her boyfriend an embrace, and she said, “I am so glad you decided to not participate in Senior Ditch Day.”
“Well, I wasn’t going to turn down the chances of getting extra credit,” replied a grinning Beck, while Trixie muttered angrily under her breath.
“And, last but not least…” said the CHS principal, who felt relieved to say the words that were about to come out of her mouth. “Stardust Balance!”
As Twilight’s messy-haired boyfriend came up onto the stage, a confused Casey asked, “Why would he go last if-”
“To get the last word in, apparently,” sighed Twilight, sighing as she watched Stardust walk up to the podium and speak into the microphone. “Oh, boy…”
With a sly grin on his face, Stardust said, “Goodbye, seniors! Goodbye, Class! High school, you can kiss my a-”
“And that is this year’s graduating class, everyone!” said Celestia, with Luna hurrying a grinning Stardust off the stage.
Taking his place between Casey and Twilight, the light-orange teenager shared a fist bump with his best friend while the glasses-wearing teenager shook her head at her boyfriend’s antics.
This is our year, This is our game
Its our turn to make a change, come on, come on let’s shout it out.
This is our year!
(Come on)
Then, after all of the senior students moved their tassles to the other, explosions of confetti suddenly appeared, and the class of students tossed up their graduating hats into the air.
This is our year, This is our game
Its our turn to make a change, come on, come on let’s shout it out.
This is our year!
Just as Applejack was about to catch her falling hat, she was surprised to see Casey catch both of theirs, and even more when he suddenly gave her a kiss on the lips.
Today is the very first day, of all of our tomorrows
(Yeah, oh)
A few seconds later, Casey pulled back away from her, with a sheepish grin on his face, but before he could explain himself to his old girlfriend, Applejack smirked at her once-ex-boyfriend, and she pulled him towards her so that they could share another kiss.
Don’t look back,
Cause we’re gonna have a good time.
“Sure glad he took my advice after all,” said Stardust, feeling proud of what his best guy friend had done.
Twilight was about to ask him what he meant by that, but she suddenly found herself being twirled around by her boyfriend, and was now being dipped by a grinning Stardust, which was followed by him giving the blushing teenager a kiss, with Twilight soon returning the favor as she placed her hands on his face.
Let’s start right now!
And shout it out LOUD!
Beck looked over at his own girlfriend, and a smiling Twinkle asked, “Well, what are you waiting for?”
The green-skinned teenager simply responded by giving her a sweet and tender kiss on the lips, and the rest of their friends just watched all of the couples with amused and pleased expressions.
*tears of joy* They grow up so fast. Also, classic Stardust. And, that’s gonna be me in a year and a half, the graduating high school part.
