A school bus makes it's way through the city. Aboard the bus, a group of students lead by Miss Cherilee is talking about their field trip.
"I can't wait until we enter the building. " Pinkie Pie cheered. "I always wanted to go to a roller skating rink."
"I always thought roller rinks went extinct." Rainbow Dash said.
"Many people would think so." Miss Cherilee informed. "But, there are some of those rinks that are still in operation."
Everybody is looking forward to this experience. But, in a seat in the back, Sunset Shimmer sits quietly as tears drip slowly down her face.
"Hey, Sunset." Twilight Sparkle said, getting her attention. "Are you okay?
But, Sunset didn't answer. She just sat there, feeling very sad.
"If I may have your attention." Miss Cherilee announced. "Just so you know, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are expecting all of you to be on your best behavior. "
On our best behavior, she says. Sunset thought. For me, that means I just sit down and keep quiet.
The bus arrived at the roller rink. Miss Cherilee and the students disembarked. After being measured for roller skates, the students head for the rink. But, Sunset makes her way to one of the tables, sits down, and watches everybody have fun. The music is played, and the skaters roll very happily.
"Weee!" Pinkie Pie cheered.
"I agree, darling." Rarity added. "This roller skating is fun."
"And, we're having a good time." Applejack said happily. "Yee-haw!"
But, at the table she sat down in, Sunset cries quietly. She watches everyone skating. But, she was too scared to join them. Sunset was afraid that if she went to the rink, Miss Cherilee would be so angry, her face would be as red as a tomato. Then, she would call for the Principal on her phone, and have Sunset taken back to the school. Pinkie's mother, who volunteered as a helper, went over to check on the girl.
"Sunset Shimmer," Cloudy Quartz said, "why are you not joining the others in the rink?"
"And risk getting into more trouble?' Sunset replied. "No way."
Sunset starts to cry, knowing that she's going to get an earful.
"Trouble? Don't be silly." Cloudy Quartz said with concern. "Why would you think that you're in..." Suddenly, a thought came into her mind. "Now, I understand. You're afraid that you're still being judged for the Fall Formal nightmare. Is that right?"
Sunset nodded sadly. "I'm afraid so. Miss Cherilee would rather see me left out that join any fun."
"That's not true." Miss Cherilee said as she comes to the conversation. "You've been told many times, everyone forgave you for that dark moment. You were even forgiven for that Anon-A-Miss incident. Especially, since the real culprits were revealed."
Just then, Sunset realized that Miss Cherilee is right. She should put those moments behind and look towards a happy future. So, she stood up, and rolled to join her friends in the rink. Twilight was happy to see Sunset as they skated together.
The scene changes at a bench in the city. Zephyr Breeze reads a newspaper.
"Hey there, readers." Zephyr announced. "I hope you like this chapter. Especially since some of these words started with the letter T. Tomato, Think, Table, Talking, True, Tears, Time, and Trouble. This is totally TERRIFIC!"
Zephyr then threw the paper in the air, and the pages scattered on the ground. Officer Shining Armor came along to talk to Zephyr.
"Of all the words you mentioned that start with T," Shining Armor said, "you forgot two."
Zephyr was confused. "Which?"
Shoning Armor pointed to the newspaper pages. "Trash."
Zephyr was surprised as Twilight's brother writes down on a piece of paper. "And, Ticket." He gives the ticket to Zephyr. "Here you are."
"Thank you." Zephyr replied glumly.
"Have a nice day."
This will TEACH Zephyr not to litter.
