The end of Friendship University

Demading information

The brothers were already in jail when Neighsay went to Celestia. He was not happy.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?", he yelled angrily as he held up the headlines from two recent papers.

The first headline was from Equestria National News.

**

Frienship University closed down and destroyed

In a stunning turn of events, the so-called Friendship University, run Flim and Flam has been closed by members of the Christian Fleet. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity had previously gone undercover, in order to find out what it was like as a student. When the Christians arrived, they launched an investigation to figure out the truth. They discovered that the brothers had violated an EEA Regulation, and were using the school as a cover-up. The brothers were thought to be charging money for the assignments, so they could get new supplies. They were actually charging the money to use it for their resort that they were already running prior. The brothers have been sentenced to jail, and the school has been burnt to the ground.

The next headline, from the Canterlot Herald, said the following.

Monstrous crowd raises protest against EEA personel

On the day of the Flim Flam brothers' trial, members of the EEA were caught off guard. Angry Headstallions and Headmares from ALL OVER EQUESTRIA were raising propaganda against them in protest. They were tearing up their copies of the EEA rulebook, and throwing them, snowballs, sticks, and bottles of expensive alcohol at the building. Chancellor Neighsay was injured in the action, and the mob nearly set fire to the EEA headquarters.

Celestia was about to explain, when Brandon and Link knocked on Celestia's office door.

"Come in", she said.

They walked in calmly, and sat on either side of her. They were each dressed in a black suit, and wore a bright-red tie and sunglasses with pitch-black lenses.

"I assume that you seek the reason that we closed and destroyed Friendship University.", Link said to Neighsay in a firm tone.

"WHY DID YOU DO IT? I APPROVED THAT SCHOOL MYSELF!!", Neighsay yelled back, slamming his hoof on Celestia's office desk so hard that it cracked.

"*gasp* THAT IS MAHOGANY!!", Celestia scolded.

Brandon let out an angry yell, and raised a fist. He wore a metal-studded glove, and punched Neighsay in the mouth. The strike knocked two of his teeth out, in a bloody mess.

"LISTEN UP, NEIGHSAY!!", he screamed with rage, " THOSE TWO BROTHERS WERE ALREADY RUNNING A RESORT IN THE SAME CITY. WE FOUND THAT ONE PAGE OF YOUR BOOK WAS STUCK TO THE COVER FROM BEING WET. WE SAW THEM GO INTO A SECRET ROOM, AND FOUND OUT THAT EEA SCHOOLS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SECRET ROOMS."

Link pulled out the pictures that Colin had taken, and then healed Neighsay's teeth. Neighsay looked at the photographs, and went from argumentative to shocked and speechless. He calmed down, and apologized to Celestia for damaging her desk.

"Based on what is described in the headlines, I assume that the brothers were stealing and lying.", Neighsay concluded after reading the news reports a second time.

Link nodded, and Brandon explained the verdict from the court session.

"They are going to be in jail for three months. Then they will not be allowed to leave their resort premises, unless they are shopping.", he stated.

"Just so you are aware, Twilight was not part of the mob that attacked the EEA. She helped me break them up, because she was showing mercy for you.", Celestia said calmly.

Neighsay was pleased to hear this. He thanked Twilight for her actions at a later time.
