Every Friday, from five in the afternoon to eleven at night, Pinkie Pie does volunteer work. She doesn't have to do it, the world won't stop if she doesn't, but she chooses to do it anyway. Even if it's doing seemingly insignificant little things.

It is a matter of life and death, after all. Literally.

It's easy to find teachers willing to substitute at Canterlot High. It's just hard to keep them.

Written for the A Thousand Words Contest II in the "Experimental" category, where it won a judge's prize.
