It was the fourth period of the day. Everypony was in class, waiting for Ms. Floral to arrive. Ms. Floral was never late. What happened today?
Silver asked his bench partner Dream where the teacher was. Dream just shrugged her shoulders. Lightning, who was sitting at the bench behind his was talking to her bench partner, Blue Star.
“Hey, uh, Lightning.. I need to tell you something..” said Blue Star.
“Okay, shoot.”
“I.. need.. to leave the buckball team.. sorry..” ‘Please don’t be mad..’
“Oh.. well, that’s okay, but why?”
Phew.. “Well, there’s an exam coming up.. it’s not from school, it’s something extracurricular, and I’ll need to study..”
“Aw, that’s okay Blue!” ‘Now I’ll need to worry only about choosing a replacement..’
In a minute, Mr. Count came in. “Good morning class. Your teacher will be absent today, and she has not given you any work. You can all talk to each other, but very quietly. If any of you want to show off your talents, you can do so.” said the teacher and sat down at the teachers’ desk.
The first ones to show off some of their skills was obviously Stage Lights and Illusion, who always claimed to be the children of a famous magician who defeated an Ursa Major. While they were the twins of a famous magician, said magician never defeated an Ursa. Everyone knows that only Princess Twilight Sparkle and the other alicorns can defeat an Ursa Minor, and only Princess Celestia and Starlight Glimmer have defeated an Ursa Major. They showed off a couple of hat tricks.
Then after around 3 more people, Lightning stepped up. They were allowed to show off apps, games and animations they made as well. She took the help of the teacher to present a game, which was like a mini virtual world (in development!) with 9 players other than yourself in an online multiplayer. There were only a few phrases that could be said like Hello, how are you, nice to meet you and you look cool. Everyone was amazed. They all knew she was a good coder, but, a virtual world? That was really cool.
While everyone was impressed, Silver was amazed the most. He knew she looked pretty, but, when do you meet a girl who looks really pretty, and yet does lots of other cool stuff, and is very nice. I guess it’s just unexplainable what Silver saw in her. I can’t really explain it!
