Discord (clone) leads the students into his classroom. Several desks are hovering in the air as cotton candy clouds are roaming around. The classroom smells like chocolate milk as the walls are bright pink. The students are in awe to see much creativity within the room.
"Now, I know that other classrooms are not like this. For everyone that doesn't know me, my name is Discord, the Lord of Chaos. My species is known as a Draqonecuus. I am part of every animal put together. I possess chaos magic. That's why the room looks like this. To make it homey for me. Now, the floating desks are for creatures that can fly. Those who can't, your desks are grounded."
Every creature takes their seats. Discord (clone) sees several students unsure about the scenery. They look around to see if their eyes are not playing tricks on them. Silverstream is enjoying every bit of it. Gallus thinks it's cool to sit on a floating desk. Ocellus is somewhat enjoying it. Sandbar thinks it's cool seeing the Lord of Chaos do his thing. Smolder is going with the flow. Yona is excited and cannot wait to tell Yak Yakkistan about her first day.
"Now, every creature, I want each of you to introduce yourself to the class," Discord (clone) spawns a ball. "Whoever I throw to will be the first to break the ice. Think fast!" Discord (clone) throws the ball at Gallus first. He catches it.
"Hey, I'm Gallus. I'm from Griffinstone. I am somewhat interested in having friends with other creatures besides the Griffins."
"Well, you'll have plenty of friends to go around. I'll be your friend as well," Discord (clone) smiles. "Now, you choose who to throw the ball to."
Gallus smirks and throws the ball back at Discord. Discord catches it. "Hahaha, very funny. Though, I should have been more specific. Think fast!" Discord (clone) throws the ball at Smolder. She catches it.
Smolder takes a deep breath. "Am I allowed to be honest, Discord?"
"Of course. Friends shouldn't hide any secrets in the long run. It'll hurt them later."
Smolder sighs again. "No offense to you, Sandbar but, I heard a lot from the other Dragons on how they despise Pony Kind after what the supposed Princess did to Spike. I'm having trust issues with all ponies but, I want to make friends. I want to be friends with all kinds of creatures that exist in our world," Smolder sighs. "I'm willing to give you a fair chance if you don't treat dragons as inferiors."
"Say what?!" Sandbar shouts horridly. "I never once thought that Ponies are superior to all kinds of creatures. Never ever ever ever!"
Smolder sees the sincerity Sandbar has. She knows she's making the right decision in trusting him. Smolder tosses the ball to Sandbar for him to speak.
"I heard the news around town that Equestria may have been on the brink of war cause of how some ponies treated a baby dragon so horribly that makes you sick to your stomach. I didn't want to be known as a bad pony based on what has happened. I want everyone to know who I am. My name is Sandbar. I want everyone here to know the real me and not what they know about my kind."
Everyone nods in understanding. Sandbar tosses the ball to Yona.
"Yona wants to learn to be friends with everyone that Yona likes. Yona wants to learn to teach Yaks how to become better friends with other creatures. Yona can't wait to be friends with everyone here!" Yona tosses the ball to Ocellus.
Ocellus ducks as Silverstream catch the ball. "My name is Silverstream. I spent many years underwater on Mount Aris. I never made any friends outside of Mount Aris borders, so I want to make new friends," Silverstream smiles. She tosses the ball lightly to Ocellus. She catches it.
"I'm a little insecure after finding out what Ponies did to a baby dragon but, I want to seek Friendship with other creatures that are in the Bar of Alliance. I do want to give Pony Kind a second chance."
"Good. Just to let you know, my class will be merging with Spike's class from time to time. He asked for a clone a while ago but, that clone is temporary. So, expect Spike and I to teach you important values of Friendship along the way."
"Alright, Discord," The students say in unison.
"Now, today's exercise is all about trust," Discord (clone) claps as all the chairs and desks align themselves like a mountain pile. "Every creature here will take turns falling backward from the small mountain. The rest down here will be catching you. Trust takes time to build, so we're going to start building it slowly."
"Yona want to go first! Yona want to go first!" Yona hops around.
"Good," Discord (clone) snaps his claw. Yona is in position. "Now, everyone, form a pattern you believe will work to catch Yona. Remember, she's putting her trust in each of you."
"Yona, ready!" Yona said, excited to see who will catch her.
Every creature talks among themselves to align themselves properly to catch Yona; they ask Discord for a blanket to use. Discord gives them a blanket. Every creature spread out and made sure they hold the blanket as tight as they can.
"Alright, Yona. Drop now, and we'll catch you," Gallus said.
"Yona trusts Blue Griffin and Friends," Yona falls back as every creature catches Yona safely with the blanket.
"Well done," Discord (clone) applauds. "Thinking outside the box to catch your friend. Now, who's next?"
"Me!" Silverstream flies up to the mountain pile.
Silverstream falls back as her friends catch her with the blanket. Gallus, Sandbar, Ocellus, and Smolder take their turns and having fun with the exercise. Discord watches how this group of students is interacting with each other in their first class together. Discord allows them to repeat the cycle two more times before changing the next topic in class.
"Alright, that'll be enough as each of you has proven to trust each other for this exercise. Now it's time for-" Discord (clone) hears the bell ringing. "Your next class. Tomorrow we'll pick up with the next activity."
Gallus, Smolder, Sandbar, Yona, Silverstream, and Ocellus leave Discord's class happily. Their next class is with Trixie as their teacher.
