"Good morning class."
This year...
The eighth season of a five-year tale.
"My name's Professor Balance..."
Starring the mares you love...
"But you can call me the Guy Dating Your Principal."
...And the stallion less love.
"Starswirl's a teacher anypony would be privileged to learn from, but I doubt he's lingering around in Jack's head anymore now that he's free."
"As my enthusiastic Princess said, I teach what role Balance plays into friendship. Now, most assume that friendship is associated with harmony magic, but that's a general misconception. Friendship can be forged between any living creatures regardless of alignments. Light, dark, grey, and so on."
"Young, ignorant, but open-minded, ready to learn! Imagine what we could all learn from various cultures, religions and teachings! Students who equally have such to teach us; gateways to a new era for all Equestria and beyond! Unity, that protects our world and each other! Open your Goddamn eyes you old-fashioned hicks!"
"Friendship is the key element of magic, and we need to help share it across Equestria. And hopefully, one day, beyond that, and this time... We'll do things our own way."
"New me, Twilight."
"New you."
"Forgive her. Whatever damage Twilight has wrought, whatever frictions or crimes, do not blame her. Twilight is naive and often makes ill decisions. Whatever punishment you have in mind, take it out all on me."
"You would nobly accept all the consequences of your fiance's errors, despite having no clue what crime she had caused, without even batting an eye?"
"The map obviously sent Starlight and Sunburst to Sire's Hollow because of their old connection there, and therefore would be the best collaboration in handling whatever friendship problem resides in their childhood home."
"I mean, if you wanna take the fun out of it, love, be my guest."
"Happy Valentine's, love..."
"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, honey..."
"Let me become a Twilight Warrior, and protect our family, and Balance itself alongside you."
"You are everything a father could ever dream for, Spike. You have become brave, honourable, selfless and kind in your own right; you are ten times the person your Dad would ever be... Adopted or biological."
"What changed Twilight from residential jokester, to being a boring neatfreak prior to Ponyville?"
"Regrettably, not everypony shared Twilight's enthusiasm for making others laugh and bring some life to the otherwise droll school. It didn't help that Princess Celestia often encouraged said pranks. Needless to say, some peers had expressed their dissatisfaction the hard way, actively doing all in their power to have Twilight never prank again... Or even smile as much as she used to."
"Assignments, homework, grades and friendship lessons exactly like ours, down to a T? It don't feel right, how could they have copied all that if they've never even beento our school?"
"And don't even get me started on how you've treated my Prin- Actually, yes I WILL GET STARTED, BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE SOUL HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE ANYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MARE I LOVE, FEEL LIKE DIRT. NOT MY FRIENDS, NOT MY SON, AND NOT TWILIGHT SPARKLE, THE GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO EQUESTRIA! This mare has done more for the world and every living thing than you or Celestia ever could; Twilight brought together species, established friendships where it wouldn't be considered possible. Saved and reformed wronged people time and time again. Hell, it was TWILIGHT who saved and redeemed Stygian, and her equally wonderful student!"
Stardust Balance
"A band name, sillies!"
"'The Chaotics.'"
Twilight Sparkle
"Yeah that! Just use that Stardust! We don't care what you've done in the past, it's all behind us. We're all just more excited to hang out with a best friend again, nothing else matters! So... Get over yourself, and just enjoy the moment, huh?!"
Spike
"Contrary to what you may believe, we all consider you one of us, pony in spirit as well as body."
All of their friends... Yes, even the Young Six...
"I've met enough real dragons to know they don't do the things you claim they do. Honest, loyal, hardworking, strong dragons who look after their own and never take advantage of their children. You are everything your kind are against, Sledge, and you will not go anywhere near this castle or our son again."
"I may not be the ideal candidate to be Spike's adopted Dad... But you can be sure I will do the best I can for him... For all of them."
A JOURNEY BEYOND SANITY
SEASON EIGHT
