What's your idea?" Twilight asked. "What do you say I get school cancelled next week?" "And how are you gonna do that?" Rarity asked. "Yeah. It's spring. We can't have a snow day. And the weather's nice and there's no hurricanes." Applejack said. "Easy! I call the whole school, including Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna to say that school's cancelled!" "NO! You're gonna get us in trouble." Sunset said. "Yeah. And I don't want a detention. That will go bad for my reputation." Twilight agreed. "Oh no I won't. It's just a harmless prank phone call. And the best part is that we will have no school!" "You say that now but you'll get in trouble later." Twilight said. "And more like, we'll get it cancelled for a day and then Principal Celestia will realize that it was a prank phone call. Or even, she'll know it is from the start and you'll just get in trouble. So either way, we won't have a week off of school." Sunset said. "Plus that's what Spring Break is for. A week off of school." Rarity said. "It's also against the law." Fluttershy said. "Also this is worse than typical consequences. Doing this will get you multiple detentions, you might even get suspended." Sunset said. "You're acting like you've never been in trouble. Don't forget, you were once a bully and a bad behaved student." "I know. And this is exactly why I'm telling you this. I've gotten suspended multiple times." Sunset rolled her eyes. "Well I don't care." Rainbow Dash said. "Well it's you getting in trouble, not me. My detention days are over." Sunset said. Rainbow Dash pulled out her cell phone and started prank-calling a lot of people in an impression of Principal Celestia. "This is Principal Celestia and school will be cancelled next week!" She hung up and laughed. "If you get in trouble, don't come crying to us." Applejack said. "Now for the ultimate prank. Calling Principal Celestia!" Rainbow Dash dialed her number. She had all phone numbers in the phone book. "Hello?" It was Principal Celestia. "This is Principal Celestia and school will be cancelled next week." Rainbow Dash said, mocking. "School's cancelled? Wow that was nice of me to cancel school! I could use a break!" Principal Celestia hung up. Rainbow Dash started laughing. "SHE FELL FOR IT!" "Okay, that's crazy!" Twilight said. "THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST IDEA EVER!" Pinkie Pie said, laughing. "No. It's really not." Twilight said. "Now school is cancelled." Rainbow said. Principal Celestia was at the beach. Then she got a call from Vice-Principal Luna. Celestia picked it up. "WHERE ARE YOU?!" "At the beach. School's cancelled!" "WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!" "I did. Wait a second! Whoever did that is getting in big trouble." Celestia hung up. Celestia was extremely angry. She enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach but she later prepared to pack her things and go home. The next day at school, Principal Celestia had to use the school board voicemail thing to tell everyone that school was NOT cancelled. "WHAT?! I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "Well now you're gonna get in trouble." Sunset said. "There is technology to find out who called you." Twilight said. "NOOOO!" Rainbow Dash said. The PA system came on. "Rainbow Dash come down to the office immediately." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. Rainbow Dash walked into Vice-Principal Luna's Office. "So we used technology and we found out that you were the one who prank called the school saying that it was cancelled." "Yeah that was me." "You know prank calling is illegal, right?" "Duh! I just wanted to be funny." "Well, being funny has consequences. Your punishment is gonna be a week's detention." "UGH!" Rainbow Dash walked out. "So, what's your consequence?" Applejack asked. "I have a week's detention." "Well now you know that you shouldn't prank call next time." Rarity said. "Yeah, yeah I know." Rainbow Dash said. For that whole week, Rainbow Dash had to serve detention. She wasn't happy about it but she got what she deserved. "I HATE DETENTION!" "Well you did prank call the school." Vice Principal Luna said. "Well I wanted a week off of school." "Well maybe wait until Summer Vacation." "THAT'S SO LONG FROM NOW!" "Well deal with it." For the rest of detention, Rainbow Dash was arguing with Vice-Principal Luna. From that day on, Rainbow Dash learned not to prank call. Even if she wants school to be cancelled.
