//------------------------------// // Chapter 24: Magical School Fight // Story: A Tale of a Loving Sister: Volume 2 // by GoebelTron //------------------------------// The next morning, Sunset woke up and brewed herself some coffee, until she felt a embrace on her right leg. She looked down and saw Chase hugging her leg. When her coffee was ready, she patted Chase on the head and gave him a bowl of fruit flavored cereal for breakfast, then made herself some eggs and bacon. After they got ready, Sunset and Chase had a talk before they left, “Chase, listen to me. If Brutus picks on you again, do not fight him, but tell the teachers or your friends and they’ll help you. But if you really feel uncomfortable with him around the preschool, we’ll think about it, okay?” Chase nodded, then gave her a kiss on the nose. “Good boy!” Sunset said as she rubbed her nose with Chase’s. “Come on, let’s walk over to school.” When they arrived at school, Sunset dropped her brother off to Miss Blue Belle’s homeroom, then she gave him a hug and kissed his forehead, “I’ll pick you up later.” Chase nodded, then went to hang his stuff on his hanger, then went to the play mat and played with his dragon plushie, when he saw his friends walk over and they helped rebuild his castle. Suddenly, they saw Brutus walk in, so Chase and his friends acted casual and played with their toys. Suddenly, Brutus passed by and went to play with his toys. When Miss Blue Belle came back, she was relieved that Brutus wasn’t picking on Chase again, “Okay, kids. Go to your desks. It’s time to start.” The kids went to their desks, and then Miss Blue Belle started, “By the way, Mrs. Chrysalis will be here soon, but you can work on coloring some matching worksheets before she gets here.” The kids started to do their matching coloring worksheets, then they saw Mrs. Chrysalis come in. “Good morning, Mrs. Chrysalis,” the kids said. “Good morning, children,” Mrs. Chrysalis replied, then she put her stuff on her desk and walked over to the chalkboard. “Now, to start off our day, we are going to learn about subtracting numbers.” Mrs. Chrysalis started wrote “subtraction” on the chalkboard, then drew 20 apples on the board. “So, let’s say if I went to the store and saw 20 apples in a box. But if I took 6 apples from the box, how many will there be left in the box?” Chase suddenly raised his hand. “Yes, Chase?” “You would have 14 apples left,” Chase said. “Correct,” Mrs. Chrysalis said, then she wrote “14” on the board. Then, the lesson continued, until it was time for some science. “Alright, children. For today’s science lesson, we’re going to make some homemade volcanoes, but with baking soda and vinegar,” Mrs. Chrysalis said. “First, you’re going to decorate your volcanoes, and then you will show me the eruption of your projects. You can create your volcano anyway you want, but it can be creative. And you can also color your lava, too. Now that Miss Blue Belle has passed out your materials, you may begin.” The kids started to decorate their volcanoes with their materials, until Chase made his look like a volcano and used his dinosaur figures for the display. After he was done he poured the vinegar into the flask and put in three small drops of red and yellow food coloring into the vinegar. Then, he raised his hand for instructions, “Mrs. Chrysalis, I’m done.” Mrs. Chrysalis came over and looked at his volcano and saw the dinosaurs standing there. “Amazing work, Mr. Tucker. Children, can I have your attention real quick?” Mrs. Chrysalis asked, then the kids paused for a moment. “See his volcano right here? This is what true creativity means to you. If you want to be truly creative, you will also earn a gold star. But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be too creative. It can be anyway you want it to be. Now, I see everyone’s finished with theirs, so for now, you will now put your volcanoes on the windowsill over there, and then you may play with your toys, read some books, or draw some pictures until recess starts.” The kids put their volcanoes on the windowsill, then they had some free time. Chase went over to Miss Blue Belle and she read a book with him, until he leaned on her knee and looked at the pictures in the pages. Meanwhile, the girls sat in the library for some social reading. Sunset was still worried about the bully that hurt Chase yesterday. “I told Chase to tell either his friends or the teacher if that bully hurts Chase again. But I’m afraid the mean kid will start a fight,” Sunset said with worry. “Don’t worry, Sunset. Chase is a brave little boy,” Fluttershy said. “Indeed, darling,” Rarity said, blushing her cheeks with her makeup. “I’m sure he won’t be in any trouble.” Sunset sighed in relief, but she was still nervous. At recess, Chase was playing catch with his friends. When all of a sudden, Brutus came over and cornered Chase to a wall, “You may have gotten lucky this time, dweeb. But now you’re gonna pay for what you did yesterday!” Chase cowered himself when Brutus placed a palm on the wall, “WHAT DID I DO?!” “You humiliated me on purpose!” Brutus said. “Now, I’m gonna make sure you don’t do it again! Permanently!” Brutus was about to punch Chase as he tried to dodge the attack by ducking, but suddenly Chase accidentally shoved Brutus back with a energy fireball. When Brutus landed on the ground, his nose started to bleed. When the students found out what happened, Chase suddenly found out what he did was wrong, and he ran back inside to hide. Miss Blue Belle came outside and saw Brutus’s nose bleeding, then she walked over and kneeled towards him, then Chase’s three friends were worried about Chase’s behavior too. “We best get him to the nurse, or else he might get angry and beat up Chase!” Seamus said. “Can you take care of our friend, Mommy? He’s very frightened,” Melody said. “Of course, sweetheart,” Miss Blue Belle said. When school ended, Sunset and the girls came over to the preschool room and saw the school nurse fixing up Brutus’s nosebleed, then she saw Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna with Miss Blue Belle and Chase’s friends. “I appreciate you all coming here. We need to talk,” Principal Celestia said with a soft stern voice. Sunset saw Chase being comforted by Melody, then the girls sat down on the kids’s desks. “I don’t understand,” Sunset said. “Did Chase do something wrong?” “No, no, dear. He’s fine. But he was in the middle of a fight during recess,” Miss Blue Belle said. “It was an accident,” Chase said. “Honey, it’s okay,” Miss Blue Belle said. “He was playing with his friends before this started, until later on, Brutus...” she pointed at Brutus with a tissue up his nose, “cornered your brother to a wall and was about to hit him.” “My goodness,” Rarity said, with her fingers on her lips. “But suddenly Chase was so afraid he shot a lightning ball from his hands and blasted him back, and that’s what caused Brutus’s face to look like that and Chase ran back inside crying and shaking. He was so scared,” Sam Sam said. “I’m glad you told me, kids,” Miss Blue Belle said. “Chase, are you sure you’re feeling okay?” Chase shook his head, “I didn’t mean to hurt him. I couldn’t help it.” Sunset placed her hand on his shoulder, and then lifted him up for a hug and then held him. “Sunset, you and your brother can go now,” Principal Celestia said. “Thank you, Principal Celestia. I’m sorry for the trouble, Miss Blue Belle,” Sunset said. “It’s fine, Sunset. He just needs some TLC right now,” the teacher said. “Come on, Chase. Let’s go home,” Sunset said softly, then Chase waved goodbye to his friends and teachers, then Sunset took her little brother home. When Sunset and Chase got home, she put Chase on the couch and placed her bag somewhere else, then she sat down next to him and decided to bring him closer to her side so he can lean on her hip, then she looked down at him, “Chase, I’m not mad, okay?” Sunset said. “I know,” Chase said. “But I was worried this might happen,” Sunset said. “Chase, what caused you to do this? You almost killed someone!” Chase began to feel scared, then he took some deep breaths, “It was an accident, I swear!” “Chase, I know you didn’t mean, too,” Sunset said. “But I can’t help you if you don’t tell me the truth. Just breathe, then tell me what happened.” Chase took a deep breath, then he started talking, “I was playing with my friends, but Brutus came over and cornered me to the wall, then he said that I humiliated him, but I didn’t. He was being mean to me. And then... well you know the rest.” Sunset realized that he was really being bullied, then she placed Chase on her lap, then they cuddled for a while until Chase would calm down. After Chase was tucked into bed, Sunset was thinking about the school fight, then decided to write to Princess Twilight about Chase’s fight. ‘Hey, Twilight, I need to give you a heads up. Today, after school, Chase got into a fight with a preschooler, but he didn’t actually hit him. Chase’s little friends told me that he accidentally used a lightning ball and it caused the bully’s nose to bleed. I think this might have to do with the side effects from the stone. If you can tell me what’s happening, I’ll help you figure out a solution for this. Sunset Shimmer.’ After she finished writing, she tucked herself underneath the blanket, turned off her light, and went to sleep.
