"Oddly, this has been going better than I thought it would, I've only had 1 mental breakdown." William said to himself with a laugh as he sat on the windowsill of the first floor.
"This world may be colorful and infuriating, but I'm glad to see that there are a few elements of earth here." He sighed in satisfaction as he heard shouting coming from inside. Those creatures seemed to have gotten into an argument with they're so called "teachers".
"I just love watching others break down especially here." He watched as Applejack, Rainbow, and Starlight's defensiveness devolved into hopelessness.
"I just can't believe it, fight's breakin' out when they should be learnin' friendship?" He laughed when he heard those words come out of her mouth.
"Should I tell them that I asked them to fight? Nah."
"Things definitely aren't going as 'by the book' as Twilight planned." He heard Starlight sigh in defeat.
"That because we're terrible teachers, face it, this school, isn't gonna work."
"So, will you admit I'm right?" William asked, slipping back through the window.
"One, no, and two, when did you start stalking everyone through windows?" William folded his arms in triumph.
"I have my ways, I'm surprised you only just noticed this, by the way, do you know where Joey is, haven't seen him since this morning." The three of them gave him a collective "I duno." And trotted off towards Twilights office.
"Damn, I wish my high school years were this exciting, but then again..." He swiveled around and gestured out the window.
"Annnd... There's no one here, one thing's for sure, I can drop the 'ponyisams' now." He breathed a sigh of relief, and headed off towards Twilight's office.
"This reminds me of something that happened a while ago..."
5 years earlier...
William sat in front of the vice principal.
"I'm not in trouble, am I?" William asked, gruffly.
" No at least, not with me I don't know about my coworkers, Will, you're a good student, but one things bugging me, why is everyone else scared of you?"
"I'm not sure, honestly, I just really, really hate social interaction, uh, can I go now?" The vice principal sighed.
"Sure. Hope you have fun obsessively pacing back in forth outside my office window." William gave him a thumbs up, swung his backpack back over his shoulder, and walked out.
"Ah, horrible times, Equestria may be corny, but it's more tolerable than whatever... That was." He swung open the door to Twilights office, and peered in. Who seemed just abut done addressing her friend's concerns. They turned away from her, and began walking out the door, Rainbow pushed them the rest of the way open, smacking William on his black ski mask covered nose. He silently winced in pain, and walked in, eliciting a few glares of suspicion and annoyance from the six.
"Twilight, we need to talk!"
"Uh, what is it William? This better not be about shutting this school down, we all worked really hard to make this all happened, even your friend thinks it's a good idea."
"Yeah, well...Joey's...Joey, but that's not why I'm here, I'm here because of a particular collection of your students... I don't remember they're names, there's and earth pony, a gryphon, a dragon, a hippogriff, a yak, and a changeling."
"What about them?"
"I need you to... Uh, I can believe I'm asking this." He facepalmed.
"I need you to stop harassing them, let them act the way they want to act, means none of you're damned friendship lessons, at least, not without me there to give approval."
"That's up to they're parents and the E.-"
"I don't give a #### what the E.E.A thinks. Trust me, It'll turn out for the better, just takes time, understood."
"Well... I can't promise you all of that, but I'll do my best." William thanked her, and, rather than using the door, made for the window directly behind Twilight. He pulled it open, and peered down.
"Uh, what are you doing, the exits that way!" She jabbed a hoof at the doors.
"Only 3 stories, not to far a climb." He stepped out onto the windowsill, and slammed it shut behind him, scrambling back over the building's rooftop.
"I swear, this place is like a playground to him." She shuddered at the thought of him actually acting normal.
William was aggressively pacing back in forth out in front of the school. Why? He wasn't quite sure. He decided to get something to eat, and turned to head inside, when he found that same group of creatures from earlier, galloping at top speed towards the exit.
"Hey! Where you you think y'all are going?" He stood in front of the group, arms folded.
"Uh, field trip?" The gryphon asked.
"Yeah sure, you're skipping class, don't worry, I ain't telling. I may be... 'Friends' with the six, but that doesn't mean I approve of any of... This. "He gestured to the building.
"Well, if you aren't against us, then why are you blocking us?" The dragon asked.
"Where are you going?"
"Uh... The lake?"
"Hmmm, fine, mine I go along with you, normally Joey would, but I haven't seen him around. And I can't stand this place, it's to... Pink."
"Sure!"
"Who's Joey?"
"White and blue alicorn, 'bout four and a halfish feet tall, very social? No, doesn't ring a bell?"
"Wait. There's a fifth alicorn?"
"Yes, he's not a prince. And you won't find much mention of him outside Ponyville."
"Cool! Can we meet him?"
"As I said, I don't know where he is. So, lake?"
"You're sure sticking to the book is going to work?" Starlight asked Twilight as the trotted though the schools interior courtyard."
"My friends can handle anything, they're have these problems turned around before we know it."
"Problems?" A voice called out as a shimmering poral appeared. Out of it stepped a tall whit unicorn with a disapproving scowl on his face.
"Chancellor Naysay! You're here! "The unicorn rolled his eyes.
"Yes, and you seem unprepared, if there are problems-" He began scribbling away on his clipboard.
"Problems? Heh, of course not! We can't wait to show you around." She nervously bit her lip, hopping that William wouldn't show up any time soon.
