//------------------------------// // Chaos in the Classroom, and a Healthy Business Relationship. // Story: Letters from Blitzen: A Story of the Kirin Colt. // by Will of Haphinea //------------------------------// (Alternate title: The Return of the Sneaky Tiara) To the Kelpie who cared for my cutie Blitzen, Hi, this is Pinkie Pie! I admit I was kinda sad to read about what my Blitzy had gone through, but I am very glad you were there for him, like I am for him now! If you didn't mind, I sent my copy of the letter to Twilight Sparkle, who I know is just the Unicorn for researching the old law. I truly hope to inform you of good news when she finds out more information! Your Fellow Auntie, Pinkie ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Rarity, Please send my regards to little Blitzen. Both Wonder and I have arrived in the Crystal Empire outskirts, and have begun our training. I fear I may not make it down in the four months I promised, but do send any designs for my dress to this location for the time being. I once again apologize for my behavior at the spa that day. I did NOT know those two were sisters when I suggested they "make out already" during that fight they had in their language. I have also found out the reason for my recent irritability, and emotional swings, as well as my constant sickness I had in the early mornings. Tell young Blitzen he was right, and have him and only him, give the news to Zed. I am somewhat afraid of what may happen. I mean we aren't even married yet, and Blitzy knew that I was... Anyway, please let me know how he is. I truly apologize, but I was the one who suggested he and your sister try tongue-kissing the other night, in case you didn't hear what he whispered! I love that little guy, and hope my own will be like him one day, and a fighter for the Princess I never could be. Lots of Laughs, Silhouette "Sillie" Shields P S: Remember what I asked of you and what we talked about with 'Shy is our secret! Twilight insisted the tired Kirin stay over, as it was well past his bedtime when both his story was complete and his very long answers regarding sexuality of other sapient beings in Equestria were completely documented. She tucked him in, and secretly hoped to find somepony like he and herself who loved to learn and research together. She thought about what else to do, and finally decided to write her Princess what had transpired. She knew Luna and her sister spoke, but she still felt the need to document what had happened in a brief form for her mentor. Spike was barely awake, but sent the scroll before they all rested for the night. Spike woke up Twilight and himself through a series of flaming burps and scrolls being sent to Twilight, and one written to him specifically. He quickly handed the scrolls to Twilight over, and read his alone, and was shocked to find a list of Dragon-Calls and other Magic spells of his ancestry. A note was attached at the end, that stated to Use these wisely from the Princess herself. For herself, Miss Sparkle read a few more copies of the Canterlot Archives severe lack of information regarding the Kirins, and even the Kelpie of Hope's Asylum. Since getting that book from Kellie, she learned much about them, and the creatures that were former legends, known as Sea-Ponies. She had written them for copies on that information a while back, and was busying herself updating what she learned to them, and was still not quite ready to send her research back yet. The last scroll was a response from her mentor, but it warned of something coming. To my Most Faithful Student, I am glad you informed me of the events, as Luna has kept to herself, explaining that we should leave the Kirin alone and let events happen. While I do agree I should not interfere in their lives, I was somewhat distressed that a binding spell was used. In my own personal collection, there are very similar spells to that, and they had been proven unstable and dangerous. But amazingly, the dragon versions seem to work on a completely other level of arcane magic that few have studied, save your favorite Unicorn of history, Starswirl the Bearded. I shall allow you to visit his research wing sometime soon, but I first need to inform you that I shall be sending a carriage to excort you directlky to Canterlot later today. I fear, from the senses of the Kelpie Guardian, that Rapi has returned, and despite Blitzen coming of his own will, she may seek to harm Ponies if she cannot convince him to go back with her. I will confront her if necessary, as I know she has issues with me personally, that I cannot discuss in this letter. I don't think we will need the Elements to calm her anger but, I am being cautious, and trust you to bear them should she be not convinced. Kirins are very loving creatures, and very faithful to those they trust. My sister and I have fond memories of an age where many lived along with dragons in our land in relative peace. On the other side, they tend to be quick to anger, have strong jealousy for those they love, and even be outright vengeful, due to their genetic heritage of the best and worst traits of both species. If this filly doesn't understand that, or ever breaks his heart, I fear for her safety, but I know Luna wouldn't have offered that spell if she sensed any ire in that brave filly. Take care and please, let's talk over tea when you arrive. Princess Celestia. Twilight had finished reading her letter, when Spike informed her that Blitzen had left to go to the school that morning. She was a little upset she couldn't ask a few more questions, but decided to wait for another time. While she cleaned up, she found some drawings Spike had made with Rarity and a little foal that almost looked like him. "Oh Spike, I really still think you are too young to be thinking about that!" she giggled to herself, and cleaned up for the day ahead. ================================================================ The Kirin had made his way over to the schoolhouse before the first bell was set to ring. Both Miss Cheerilee and he had gone over a few subjects they wished to teach on, and while he had his own schooling at home, he insisted he sit with the students too for the rest of the class. "You may do what you like Blitzen, but I only ask that you don't display any means of affection towards Sweetie during class. Some of the students can be quickly to mock her or yourself. As far as your lesson, any question you feel you rather not answer, please nod, and I will inform the class not to bring it up further, ok?" The bell rang, and the colt tried to organize his notes in a backroom while the children entered. He saw his Sweetie talk with her friends and smiled, but also saw the face of that pink crowned filly. He remembered her attitude towards him, but made it a point to treat everypony fairly. He anxiously awaited to be introduced by the teacher, and once she called his name, he came out, and smiled to everypony present. "Good morning my dear colts and fillies. I am Blitzen, and for those who don't know I am a Kirin colt. I wish to discuss with you a little about where I come from, and our history. My hope is that all ponies can live together happily!" Most of the class listened to his lecture well, although he sort of regretted having Twilight write some of the lesson plan out, as what she suggested went over many ponies' his age heads. He finished telling the story of Marron Flame, and the most recent attack, when a question came up from the back row. "Yes Truffle! I saw you had a question?" "Yes, you stated that Marron was a Griffon with Great Phoenix blood. If she was attacked, why did she not rise again, like Princess Celestia's phoenix pet?" he asked. Truth be told, he had no answer for that, as even his Sister had tried everything, but eventually, she did pass without rising like her bird-like relatives did. "I must confess, I don't know my young colt. All I know is mine Sister loved her very much, and she was very kind to me, and our refuge. Any other questions?" "Yeah, I had one...if you are such a great and powerful Unicorn with Dragon blood, why did you settle for a blank-flank loser Unicorn like Stinkie Belle!" the pink filly said, causing some laughs, while Cheerilee tried to calm the classrom. He nodded to the teacher, and she warned her not to bring such questions up, but she continued. "What? You think she is special? No, she and her friends will always be blank-flanks and you must only like losers too! I guess that is what happens when even your own mommy left you!" Diamond Tiara thought herself pretty smug, and merely waited for the tears of diamonds to rain down from the colt. However, one thing she didn't count on, was that mentioning his mother that way did not make him sad, but rather mad! "Miss Cheerilee, I ...have to go..please..I don't want to hurt any..pony!" he struggled to say, as his coat brightly lit up and stood on end. The teacher nodded and opened the door where he went out to ground himself and tried to calm his anger, when suddenly, Scootaloo threw something at Diamond Tiara. "You can't shut up for one day, can you! You know what, I am tired of you, you prissy worthlessly talented..." she said, but had the book throw back at her by an even more angry Tiara. The book however hit the filly in the head hard, and as her head fell, Blitzy couldn't take it anymore, and directed a small amperage, but high voltage bolt towards the smug pony. The attack hit her straight on, and while it probably hurt her, he trotted over to Scootaloo, who was completely knocked out, and bleeding from her head. The class got very anxious, as Cheerilee contacted the medics to come as soon as possible, but Blitzy was not done. "WHY! Why did you attack her! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF YOU THREW IT HARDER!" The Kirin said, involuntarily charging his electric reserves again, and pointing his horn towards the pink filly. "Answer me! Why do you do such a thing?" he cried out, but Silver Spoon answered for her. "She wanted your special tears to sell them for a dress! She wanted to make you cry to get them! I am sorry I didn't warn anypony!" Silver Spoon confessed, and started to bawl out crying, both scared that her friend was going to be killed, and of the angry colt. The others in class were afraid as well, except Sweetie who looked at her colt, and he knew he couldn't harm anypony, and discharged the power into the roof. He stared at the roof, and apologized to Miss Cheerilee, who was still attending to the bleeding Pegasus. He grabbed a small bag of about five sobs and threw it in front of Diamond Tiara. "Take them, I don't need them, enjoy your dress." He then turn to Cheerilee again, and grabbed a bigger bag, that had ten sobs. "I think this is enough to both fix the roof, and get more supplies, my sweet teacher." He said, and she wasn't sure what they were worth, but she was grateful anyway. He then hugged Scootaloo, and went to the backroom to get something from his bag, and when he came back, he had a large bag, that he placed on her hoof. He turned to the class, with a straight face and repeated a simple word problem: "Now class, I gave Diamond Tiara a bag that contained five sobs, worth around 250 bits each. I also gave Cheerilee a bag that had ten more sobs, and one special red sob mine Sister makes called a fire sob. This is worth around 1,000 bits!" The class was shocked, and Cheerilee near fainted at hearing how much she was given towards her class. "We can finally fix up this place and get better desks for everypony!" she said aloud and blushed when she realized she shouted, but Blitzen just smiled at her outburst, but continued on with his problem. "I gave my dear friend, who stood up for me, encouraged my first talk with my future special somepony who SAVED MY LIFE and I don't care if she were a blank-flank forever, she is STILL my friend, a bag that has FIFTY sobs. Most are mine own, but ten are fire sobs. Now I plan on giving Rumble, Snips, Snails, and Featherweight one red sob each and everypony else here two of mine each. Tell me, HOW MUCH does Diamond Tiara NOT get from me by being mean!" he said, and walked out as the medics arrived. He came back in a said, "Anypony who answers this special question by tomorrow gets more sobs...I have many more, after all!" With that, they all went to work on the math problem, while the medics helped out Scootaloo. Blitzen walked out, feeling very proud he didn't hurt Diamond Tiara more like his sister had did to him. He felt happy teaching her a lesson, but felt one more thing had to be done, and he marched over to the house of Diamond Tiara's father, Filthy Rich. "I can't believe I have only five of these stupid things I wanted more!" Diamond Tiara complained, but a very angry Cheerilee came up to her, and informed her she would have detention for the next month! "No, she started it, I just ended it, and besides, he hurt me too! Make him go to detention! I'll send my daddy after you, you heartless..." "DIAMOND TIARA! What did you do, young lady? I was brought by a nice young colt, in whom I was hoping to establish a nice jewelry exchange business relationship with, and he informs me you put a filly in the hospital?!?" he asked, and a medic came by, and confirmed Scootaloo was in fact, going to get checked up on. "Tiara, I fully expect you to do detention your teacher has you do, PLUS volunteer at the hospital for a month, AND, those five sobs you got are mine now. NO more dresses for you, young lady!" he said, tired of the day he had. On top of this, the Zap Apples were not in yet, and were causing him much in lost profits. Diamond Tiara looked like her world was going to end, and simply hugged her friend Silver Spoon, looking for comfort. She found none, as she too, was talking to the two other blank-flanks, and drove Diamond further into self pity. Outside an angry Filthy Rich was devastated that he had to punish his daughter, but was glad that the colt had informed him, although was upset he had to attack his daughter. Still, he approached the Kirin. "I am sorry about all this. I shall see to it that the young Pegasus gets her bits to pay for her care, minus expenses, of course." he said. "No, mark down your costs, I'll gladly give you more sobs as payment, she deserves it all. What these Canterlot folk don't understand is, I don't want my sobs, but if they will take them, and my friends can be blessed, I shall do so." he stated as a matter of fact. "Mine Sister is the one that refuses to deal with them, after an incident a long time ago. I still remember that Unicorn, and his greed..." he recalled, but looked to the Stallion. "I am sorry about your daughter, I didn't, she...there was no excuse for my actions." Mr. Rich thought about it, but this Kirin was being more than generous still wanting to sell this huge lot of jewelry through him, and not that slimey Fancy Pants. "Well, she did behave wrong, and as for her burns, I'll mark it as a small cost of doing business loss. Have a nice day young colt." he said as they shook over the deal.
