I sat next to my mother as everyone talked about the latest gossip, and I was bored out of my mind. 

"Silver Spoon, did you hear about the new leader in Saddle Arabia?" Pineapple Crush asked, he was a strange stallion who always came without his wife. 
I wondered if he had lost her, but mother said it would be rude to ask. Mother never let me ask anything; this made me super excited for school. I finally didn't have to attend all the dinner parties, or lunch parties, or garden parties, or any type of party; unless it's one of Pinkie Pie's, but Mother never let's me, anyway! 

"Oh, really, I didn't think he was that old! Isn't that amazing, Shining Feather?" Mother's voice broke into my thoughts. Everypony was looking at me, waiting for my reply.
"Oh, uh, yeah! That's amazing! I exclaimed, acting like acting like I was following the conversation. The adults went back to talking up a storm.  When will this party end?! We have all finished dinner, so why am I still here?I sighed as the adults blabbered on. I looked out the window ready to leave. 

As soon as we got home, I was sent up stairs to bathe and get ready for school tomorrow. I slipped my supplies into into my bag, turned of the light, and went to bed. Father came in and said goodnight, and told me that Mother wanted me up two hours before we had to leave for school. I'm so ready for school!
