Canterlot High looked the same as ever... except for one notable difference on this particular Friday morning. It took a moment to notice that the front wall had been changed, painted over with a key image that they instantly knew had to have come from their Crystal Prep rival. As they looked up at the painting brushed across the walls surrounding the door frame, only one phrase came to Sunset's mind.
"Well... shit."
Rainbow Dash collapsed to the pavement in uproarious laughter. Painted on the front wall of Canterlot high was a weirdly well-rendered image of a human butt, with the cheeks being spread out to either side of the large doors, which were strategically positioned right where the anus would be on an actual person.
"I uh..." Twilight gulped and adjusted her glasses with a nervous whimper. "We have to walk through there, don't we?"
"I just don't understand how it's so... magnificent." Rarity gestured to the giant ass with both hands. "How does one render something so crude so beautifully?"
"Must be a real artist over there," Applejack agreed with a nod.
"Or someone really wanted to drive the point home," Fluttershy spoke softly through a nearly full-body blush. "N-not that there's anything ugly about a butt..."
Pinkie Pie was staring up at the painting with a hand on her chin right under her pursed lips. "I guess my cake just wasn't friendly enough. I'm gonna have to work super hard to make them understand that our schools can live together in peace and harmony!"
"I don't know, Pinkie..." Sunset coughed into one hand. "If this is how they respond to cake, maybe that's all the answer you're going to get. Not everybody is going to be friendly."
Pinkie Pie gasped in shock. "No, you're wrong! Everybody can be friendly, we proved it at the Friendship Games! We just have to keep extending the olive branch as many times as it takes!"
Rarity interjected calmly, "that sounds great darling, but what if they keep poking us in the eye with said branch?"
"The brown eye..." Rainbow Dash chortled, then fell into another laughing fit.
"I know I can do this!" Pinkie punched one fist into the other. "I just need to do more planning! Don't worry girls, I've totally got this!" She whirled to rush inside, pushing right through the butt-doors like nothing was wrong, and drawing an even deeper blush from Fluttershy and Twilight.
"Maybe they'll let us have class out here today..." Fluttershy groaned.
"Come Fluttershy, regardless of any crude defacements, it's still just a door. You have my word you'll be fine." Rarity slipped an arm around her friend's shoulders and turned to push her towards the doors, where Vice Principal Luna was just getting on the phone while shaking her head balefully at the wall.
"Come on, Twilight." Sunset took her friend's hand to pull her towards the building as well. "Let's get to class, just close your eyes and let me steer." Sunset giggled softly and headed for the doors, ignoring the paint surrounding them.
