Author's note: it continues, I make the improvement.
Being the student of the Academy was the best two years in my life.
Also, the funniest things happened in those two years.
It was outdoor practice again. Will, Gemmy and me were in the same training group as ever.
I thought about them: Gemmy was the oldest of all of us: she was a whole year older than Will, while I was a month older than him. Oh, when this happened I was almost 18.
The teacher, Mr. Black Shine or Coach as we called him, was napping again, so all of our classmates were training like the three of us, or they were at the pub next to the Academy.
Whoever built that there, was a clever pony.
Coach's classes was the best, but he was awesome too: his coal black coat was so shiny it sparkled in the sunshine. His long and well kept mane was sun yellow, and his eyes were orange colored. Weird combo, but whatever.
So, as I said, we trained.
"Hey Gemmy, here is a new crystal for you, it's flawless. I hope you like it."
I said and gave her the flawless diamond. It was her birthday a month ago and I told her that I want to give her something special. All of my savings went into that gem.
"Woooooooww, Zephy, you really shouldn't...." She run out of words and began to stare the perfect diamond.
"Can I be the Best Stallion?" Asked me Will, grinning ear to ear.
"What."
"You engaged her, so I want to be your Best Stallion in your marriage!"
Mental facehoof.
"Will!... This is her birthday present! And wash that grin off from your face or I will."
He began to grin more. All of his face was just a big grin, nothing more. What the hay?
I rolled my eyes and poked Gemmy in her flank to stop her admiring the diamond. That always works.
"Ow, Zephy!" She said, then she grimaced. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!" She jump-hugged me.
This found me unprepared so I fall on my back while she faced me. Her mane hanged to my face as she smiled at me.
I blinked a few and then I felt my face burning.
This moment was disturbed by Will, he began to whistle and shout: everypony looked at us. Soon laughter could be heard from everywhere, mixed with cries like 'Get her tiger!' and 'Do it! Do it now!'
Gemmy jumped off from me, as fast as I never saw her before, and tackled Will.
"Yoouuuu... You will pay for this!" She said to Will, dead serious. She frightened me...
"Haha, pay, yeah, if you can catch me!"
Will said and teleported away. Gemmy looked around and spotted him, sitting on a nearby bench.
He waved to us.
"Hey Gemmy. I will grab him," I said, imitating the move. "then you will use your present on him, okay?"
She looked at me. Then an evil smile creeped onto her face.
"I'm going to divert his attention, be ready to catch him."
I flown up to the roof of the main building, I could see everything from up there. Gemmy did her part of the plan: she caught Will again and again, as he teleported away repeatedly.
He teleported close to me. This is my chance!
I zoomed down in a nosedive and tackled his head, distracting him. Then I began to fly around him, dazing him. When I saw him wobbling a bit, I grabbed his horn, to prevent him using his magic.
Gemmy stepped before him. Will's eyes focused on her.
"Zephy... I think you should get behind me." She said, closing her eyes.
"Wait, what?" I said, frowning.
She levitated the flawless diamond before her horn. She is gonna use it!
I flown behind her. I saw her horn glowing before, but this was something different.
The air filled with static electricity, and everything went darker.
She opened her eyes: pure white. Uh-oh.
Will just stared her, mouth agape, but then he remembered: he is the target!
He began to cast a shield spell before him, then another and another...
I heard a humming noise, what get louder and louder in every second, it came from Gemmy's horn.
The diamond began to spin and shine.
Gemmy opened her mouth. I raised an eyebrow, I didn't heard anything.
And then..
"Shooooop DA WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!" She shouted, deafening me for a few minutes. A sun bright laser shot out from the tip of her horn, it went in the diamond and come out as a rainbow colored beam of energy.
Will's shield magics disappeard like they were nothing, and the beam almost annihilated Will himself. But I was faster, I tackled him, just avoiding the death beam of rainbow colors. The beam shot trough the wall, the next house's roof, a statue of Princess Celestia and hit the mountain, causing a rockslide.
"Gemmy. Tell me if I make you angry." I said, still watching the devastation what caused by her beam.
"What the hay happened... Here..." Shouted Couch to us, but then he saw the hole in the wall and the other damages to the city.
"Who did this?" He asked calmly.
"It was me, Mr. Black Shine." Gemmy was unusually calm and quiet.
Mr. Black Shine slowly facehooved, took a deep breath and raised his right forehoof. It sparkled in the late morning's sunshine.
"Congratulations Ms. Radiant. You made several new records in the using of energy beams."
"What? She did what? She wont get any punishment?" I asked Coach surprised.
"No Zephyr. Also, you will get a Life-savior Medal."

And this was just one episode of the several stupid and funny things in that two years.
The next year.
Thanks to my coolness in aviation, I was the class leader in any type of flying. Nopony could beat me. Or, almost. Will and Gemmy always found their way to annoy me to hell with their fancy magics.
In the canteen.
"...and I made a quick spin and shouted in his face: 'Looser!' so he didn't see the tree and boom! You can imagine it!" I explained my last race to Will. He listened to me everytime, and that was the important to me.
After I finished, we took our seats at a free table and began to eat the lunch.
"Hmm.. did I miss something... where is Gemmy?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"I dunno. I saw her coming this way, but... no, I have no idea where she is.
*pop*
"Ohgawd!" She teleported herself right in front of me, ON the table.
"Hi! Did I scare you Zephy, hmmmmm???" She put on her innocent face.
"Nooo, just don't do this ever again." I signed my doom there. She is the kind of pony who will do the prohibited thing.
"Ooo-kay! Willy, do you want to try out a new trick after lunch?"
"Sure, why not?"
I got intersted.
"What trick, may I ask?"
"Ooohhh, you will se if you want to!" She hides something. I have to know what is it.
"Alright. You wont eat now?"
"Me? Eat?" She looked around. "Oh we are in the canteen!"
I facehoofed, Will just shook his head.
"Gemmy, you are sooo random." I said, emphasizing the 'random'.
20 minutes later, in the training yard of the Academy.
"So, what is the trick?" I asked phlegmaticly.
"Will. Now." Something was in her voice, what made my pegasi-sense tingling.
Will snickered at her, then his horn began to glow as he created a box around me with his shield magic.
"Nononononono, let me OUT!" I shouted, first panicked, then angry.
Gemmy began to giggle, Will just snorted. I attacked the box and to my surprise I broke free. That was more than enough for me, so I began to fly away as fast as possible.
Then something hit me. It was Gemmy, she shooted her lasers at me!
"Aaaaaaahhhh!!!! Heeeelp!" I shouted, and this made them laugh. Cool.
I targeted an open window at the highest floor of the Academy' building, but in the last second a shield spell blocked the way in and I crashed on it. The last thing I remember before I blacked out and began to fall, was the screams of some other students...
When I woke up I was in a bed, in the infirmary of the school. Gemmy was sitting next to me, she was asleep, but her face was still wet by crying. So I got here at least 8 hours ago.
The door of the room was opened: a sad faced Will steepped in. He saw me smiling at him.
"Zephyr you are alright! Thanks to Celestia! I will never do this stupid trick on you again!" Yeah, he will do other stupider tricks.
Gemmy woke up to this.
"Zephyyyyyyy!!!" She jumped at me (deja vu?), and did the last thing I was expecting. She kissed me.
She broke the kiss a few seconds later and blushed like never before.
Will just looked at us, jaws dropped.
"Uhm, well, that's certainly an improvement." I said in a half shocked half pleased tone.
She climbed off of me, still blushing furiously.
But later nothing happened between me and Gemmy... I don't know why. I tried it a few more times, but she... Well, I don't know.
Few weeks later.
Will's next big prank was in the day of the foundation anniversary of the Academy.
Every year this day was started by listening our anthem, but this year was special.
I was in my classroom, chatting with Gemmy about how cool we look like in celebrating suit/dress when the speaker of the school-radio began to crack, as it come to life.
"Oh, the anthem is starting, we should get up." I said to her quietly.
The familiar sounds of the anthem has began to play when something changed. The music quieted down and a too familiar voice could be heard...
It was Will. Singing. What.
"United forever, in Pranking, and joking!
Our great mighty equine empire shall always, be trolling!
The Mighty Trollestia in all of her grace,
Created a world, so she could Troll Face!
Long live our Jester fool's land!
May we never hear a joke that's too bland!
Long live Equestria, with all sorts of Glee!
Strong in our Humor, trialed by Pie-ers!
Long may a violent idea inspire,
Shining new material for all jokers to be!
With Looney, our Princess, Out of her mind,
The Elements of Harmony, Pie'd her in the face!
The laughs were eternal, the humiliation infernal!
Nightmare was tarred and feathered in Pla-"
He couldn't finish the parody anthem, by the noises from the background, he was caught by the principal.
But his prank was a total success, as I dashed to the radio room to save his flank, I heard laughing from everywhere.
'Flawless victory.. or almost flawless.' I thought as I stepped in the radio room.
The principal shouted to him, his head was red from anger. I saw the relief on Will's face when he saw me coming in. The principal spotted me too, he turned around and asked me.
"What do you want? Don't you see I'm occupied?" He said this just a bit quieter than shouting.
I stepped next to him and whispered in his ears. He looked at me, blinked a few, then he turned around and left the room.
Will just stared me. As I can see, he'd never seen anything like this before.
"H-h-h-how the hay...? Zeph.. What did you... Whoa..."
I smirked at him. "You owe me at least ten." I said in a serious tone, then grinned at him. He responded with a 'phew' and we left the room.
