//------------------------------// // Chapter 13: Discussion (Short Chapter) // Story: Power of the Cybernetic Soldier // by HeartfireFirebrand //------------------------------// Tempest was filling out some paperwork that was on her desk, she grimaced as was filling out some of the pages, she sighed with all these magical incidents and with the Friendship Games coming up everyone was clearly going to be stressed. She stood up and walked to the Principal's office, she knew they had to do something. She knocked on the door, Celestia opened with a frown “Tempest what may I ask are you coming to my office for?” Tempest smiled “I wanted to discuss something with you.” Celestia nodded “Okay, come on in” as soon as Tempest took a seat, Celestia asked “So what did you want to discuss?” Tempest sighed “I feel the students have been quite stressed out lately, we have had two major events and we both know that the Friendship Games is not exactly going to help matters.” Celestia frowned “What do you suggest?” Tempest frowned “I believe we should schedule a trip to Camp Everfree so they can all relax and have some fun that doesn’t involve magic and beings from another world trying to take control of ours.” Celestia smiled “That is not a bad idea, I must admit I do remember just how much I enjoyed it back in the day.” Tempest smiled “It was a blast, I remember when I went only for Stinking Rich to cut the ribbon as the primary backer of the camp all those years ago. He was a large portly man with a heart of gold, he was like a father to many of the kids in the orphanage.” Luna knocked on the door “Ah yes, Celestia decided that our year’s camp gift was a sundial despite the fact it wouldn’t work at night.” Tempest smiled “I remember our Camp Gift, it was the totem pole that you see at the camp. We decided on it because it would be a give respect to those who owned this land before we did.” Luna and Celestia blinked “That is the the symbol of the camp, we thought it was there since it was made.” Tempest shook her head “Nope, in truth I haven’t seen the camp since I left for the military, I wonder how it has changed.” Luna nodded “It has changed a lot since your time trust me.” Celestia looked over Tempest“Speaking of which I’m surprised there hasn’t been quite a bit more of an uproar at you new appendages.” Luna rolled her eyes “With all the weird magical stuff going on around here I guess it has just become normal around here.” Tempest frowned “Well I’m just glad you two are the first two to bring it up, honestly most kids looked at me for a few seconds before moving on.” The trio continued to discuss things until the final periods of the day when Tempest had to teach her class.
