//------------------------------// // Chapter X // Story: Equestria Girls: Open Arms // by AizakkuHorooee //------------------------------// As soon as I finish my response to Twilight’s call for my help, I rush to the computer in my room to go to the Canterlot School District website.  I hover the mouse on-screen to the left bar on the bottom.  That’s where it says “report”.  I click on that and fill out the form. Person in question: Superintendent Spitfire Reporter: Sunset Shimmer Reason: Toxic comments toward visitors Additional notes: The visitors targeted were from different worlds; Aita and Queen Chrysalis are the visitors' names.  The event that started this incident was when I went to Nurse Redheart’s office to clean up Aita’s legs, which was recorded into the nurse office records. Below the form is the kind of message I always see online.  Note that by sending this report, you accept that Canterlot School District will follow standard investigative procedure- ‘n bla bla bla.  Basically, if I get caught lying, my name will be blacklisted.  Well, no time like the present.  Below the message there’s a checkbox agreement, below which is the send button. “Click ...aaaand send.” Alright.  I just sent the report to the school board. “And now, it’s party line time.” I take my phone out and select all my friends from the main contact list. Hello? Rainbow Dash answers. Rainbow Dash?  Is that you with Sunset Shimmer?!? “Actually, Pinkie, I called ALL of you.  I sent a report on the Canterlot School District’s website.” You did?!?  Is this about Superintendent Spitfire? Rarity asks. “Yuh huh.” Y’all askin’ to meet up now so we can see how all this goes? “...we’ll do it tomorrow, Applejack.  It’s getting late right now, so Spitfire’s office hours are already over by this point.” Then we’ll be sure to wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Fluttershy declares.  ...So… what exactly happened to Aita? “Spitfire made comments about him and Queen Chrysalis during a confrontation, and those comments devastated Aita.  That’s all I know.” Spitfire what?!?  She’s the superintendent!  Her standards should be much higher than derogatory comments! “But that’s just it, Rarity.  You remember what Spitfire did to get fired from her previous job.  Just be glad Aita was turned human through the portal like I was; it would’ve done a lot more damage in Equestria.” Did anybody witness the events of the confrontation?  Or at least the result of it? Twilight inquires. “Only ones I can automatically rule in are Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.  I was home during the incident.  But I think I know how we might do this.  We should take Queen Chrysalis and Princess Twilight with us.” ...Why Princess Twilight? “I’m glad you asked, Rainbow Dash.  She may not have much to do with this, but as Aita’s legal guardian, she made the decision to keep him in Ponyville during our Monday.  Not only that, she’s the most accessible political figure in Equestria.” Everyone on their end of the line yawns. “Alright.  Everyone get a good night’s sleep.  I’ll see you all in the morning.” ’night Sunset! every one replies.  I hang up the phone and put it on my sidetable and go to bed. *** It’s the next day, so that means me and my friends finally meet up in front of the school, only now, we’re waiting for Twilight and Chrysalis.  I have my journal with me, which starts vibrating. Sunset Shimmer, this is Chrysalis.  Twilight Sparkle and I have told Starlight Glimmer and Spike to spend some time with Aita while we’re in your world.  Let us know when you’re ready to meet. We’re all here.  Come through the portal whenever you’re ready, I write. Within ten seconds, Twilight and Chrysalis come through the portal, slightly disoriented from the pedal shift, but ultimately fine. “Whew, I’ll have to visit more to get used to this,” Twilight remarks, examining her body.  “It’s been a long time since attending Canterlot High. “I’m so glad you two could make it.  Let’s go.” I lead the way up to the lobby, where two policemen are awaiting us.  The one on the left, Time Turner, has a light brown skin tone and has an hourglass next to his badge.  The other, Soarin’, has a blue-ish white tone and has a lightning bolt over a horseshoe cloud next to his badge. “Good morning Sunset Shimmer.”  Time Turner holds out his hand for me to shake, which I accept.  “So you were the person that sent the report last night?” I nod impartially.  “This is the first time I ever did this.  All things considered, this is pretty serious.” “Glad we’re all on the same page.  Officer Turner and I have been on the case since the crack of dawn.”  Soarin’ puts his left wrist on his side and casually points to Chrysalis and Twilight.  “So, Princess Twilight… and Queen Chrysalis, right?” “Absolutely,” Princess Twilight replies.  “Specifically, I am Aita’s legal guardian in Equestria.” The officers begin leading us all straight to Spitfire’s office. “Whoever’s idea it was, it was smart to bring guests from Equestria to help out, especially royalty.  A member of faculty came forward to me and Officer Soarin’ earlier this morning about the happenings last night.  They said something about Aita going back to Equestria.” “Yes, that was after the confrontation Aita and I had with Spitfire.” “Well, after today, I know of a certain change that’s gonna happen,” Soarin’ says.  “Now, you and Aita were the first cases of this happening with Spitfire right?” I nod.  “As a superintendent, yes.  She was attracted to Aita because of the uniqueness of his name plastered on the nurse record.” “There’s no way around it; to put it mildly darlings, this is a very classic case of-” Rarity starts before Time Turner holds out his hand for silence as we take the last right ahead of Superintendent Spitfire’s office.  Rarity waves her hands in front of her shoulders.  “Never mind… never mind.” “Superintendent Spitfire has an immaculate attention to detail, we should be careful about our distance when it comes to speech.” Guess everyone has to be quiet now then.
