After Silverspoon, Ember Flame, and Acid Drip fully recovered they met up at the library. "Okay girls, let's start with what we know and work from there. Acid you first."
"Well, all I know is that Twilight was Celestia's prized pupil and hatched a baby dragon. However, before Twilight there was another named Sunset Shimmer. The latter vanished after some sort of falling out with Celestia. Twilight now resides in her own castle in Ponyville after the Golden Oaks Library got burnt by Tirek. Ember....your turn."
"I knew that, and Twilight Sparkle got 5th in the Running of the Leaves Race while two of her friends fought the whole time. My personal favorite tidbit of information is that she is related to Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."
Ember Flame looked at her two friends, they had no idea who Mi Amore Cadenza was and she had to explain that it Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire. "I may be a sport jock, but I pay attention to the world around me and study my history."
"So uh.... Silverspoon would you also be able to help me in math? I really want to be able to move up a grade with you two. Many of my friends had soared past me. I need help, tutors have and get really fed up with me when I can grasp a concept. When I say that, I mean I know how to do what the equation requires but processing it kills me and even then I solve one problem....I forget how to by the next one that uses the same formula." Acid now had started to sob, Ember Flame looked away, it hurt her to see her friend in such a state. 
"Acid.... I'll help you, but I do know of a pony here in Manehattan who can probably help; her name is Octavia.....then there is also Coco Pommel who is a friend of Rarity's." 
Ember Flame and Acid Drip looked shocked. "You know Octavia? And Coco Pommel?"
"Yeah kinda, Octavia lives in Ponyville with Vinyl Scratch or DJ-Pon3 and Coco has come to Ponyville for business meetings with Rarity even though they can do it digitally. I'll give each a call tomorrow and see if they will be willing to help. For now....the task of getting ourselves set for our trip in four days!" The girls got all of their questions set, Coco by lucky chance was at the Library and lent a hoof which was really effective when Coco used areas that Acid was best in. As she left due to a business meeting she made a comment.
"From what I've seen today Acid, you're not stupid or dumb. You're a freaking genius, if anything what your teachers did holding you back hurt ya, your deduction and problem solving skills are so far ahead of them. Maybe.....just maybe, I'll call Rarity and see if she can convince Twilight to call her old friend Moon Dancer and let her become your tutor or personal teacher. There aren't many fillies or colts who get or understand the things you do at your age. For now, just try to operate in the box the teachers teach in."
"Thanks Coco Pommel, have a good business meeting."  The little trio decided to go ahead and study for their upcoming history quiz, Acid kept a pencil perfectly balanced on her hoof without it wobbling or losing balance when she sneezed. Ember Flame fell asleep and Silverspoon recalled in her memory that the CMC had helped Rainbow Dash study by reenacting history as Rainbow Dash flew over. Did Ember study and memorize things the same way?
