It’s a very sunny Tuesday morning as (alicorn/prince/guidance counselor) Kyle makes his way over to the School of Friendship for his first day on the job as the newest counselor.
“This is it. Hooves crossed.” Kyle confidently says to himself as he walks in through the School's front door and into the foyer.
First thing he sees inside are students either socializing with one another or running as fast as they can to their first class of the day, seconds later does the school bell ring all throughout the school, signifying the school day is starting.
“Luckily for me, I don’t have a class to teach, meaning I can get here ‘til whenever I choose.” Kyle says to himself proudly as he victoriously prances over to his office, students around him all quickly packing up their things and trying to get to class on time.
As Kyle is prancing eloquently does he not notice who’s or what’s in front in him, causing him to bump into Gallus Griffin (of the Royal Guard).
“Oh, sorry there Gallus. I wasn’t looking.” Kyle apologizes.
“No no, I take some of the blame. My mind was... caught up in something else.” Gallus says back.
“Makes sense. So, what brings ya to Ponyville? More specifically, the School of Friendship?” Kyle asks pleasantly.
“Uh, well you see, I was...-“
“Mornin’ Gallus.” A happy fully-grown Silverstream says while walking on by the two. “And Kyle, nice wings.”
“Good morning to you... too.” Gallus said even as Silverstream is out of earshot of him. “Huhhh.”
“Oh, I see how it is," Kyle smugly says, “Don’t worry, I’ve been there, done that.”
Gallus looks directly at Kyle. “I’ve always kinda felt a little something. I only came here as an excuse to deliver this letter from the Princess,” Gallus sadly explains, holding up the letter in his talon, “Oh, and this letter is for you by the way.” Gallus sharply snaps back to his normal self.
“For me?” Kyle uses his magic to take the letter from Gallus.
Opening it up, Kyle reads: “Dearest Kyle... yada yada, I need to tell you something... yada yada, Gallus is to remain in Ponyville... yada yada-“
“Wait what?!” Gallus yells out.
“It says, ‘Gallus is to remain in Ponyville, most specifically at the School of Friendship, until further notice.’”
“So I’m to stay here? Until further notice?” Gallus acts surprised, thinking about it more.
“Maybe it’s a sign. You obviously feel something towards Silverstream. Maybe Princess Twilight knows about it. Or maybe not. I don’t know, it’s just my opinion bruh.” Kyle stares off blankly.
Both Kyle and Gallus spend the next ten minutes just standing there, not doing anything, not saying a single word to each other. Gallus thinking even more of why the Princess wants him to stay.
“Uh, you guys alright?” Headmare Starlight asks as she walks over to the two, interrupting their long silence.
“Oh, we’re fine. Gallus here though is gonna stay with us for a little while.” Kyle said so calmly, levitating the letter over to her.
Starlight takes a minute to read it.
“Wow! I don’t know what to say. We need to-“
“Have a staff meeting about it? Today may officially be my first day, but I know you all too well.” Kyle interrupts Starlight, having a beaming smile.
“Well, I guess staff meeting it is then. I’ll tell the rest of the faculty. You show Gallus around the place, I guess.” Headmare Starlight asks of Kyle as she goes on her own way.
“I guess that’s that.” Gallus finally speaks up.
“Ayup!” Kyle moves closer to Gallus, whispering: “Don’t worry bud, I know about your feelings. And yes, I will help you sort things out with her.” Kyle smiles friendly like.
Gallus smiles friendly like as well.
“Welp, if ya need me, I’ll be in my office doing ‘guidance counselor’ things.” And like that, Kyle walks on over to where his office is to now officially start the day.
