A bell rings in the distance as a white earth pony with a purple mane (I don't know how to describe it, but it is the same mane style as Doctor Whooves) dashes to a big building. "I'm late for the first day of school." groaned the pony as he stopped at a traffic light He galloped in-place as he waited for the light to turn. Why didn't Ben wake me up thought the pony as he ran when the light turned green. As he ran to a pair of gates, he pulled a small plastic card from his satchel bag, he swiped the card in front of a scanner. Once the scanner dinged, the gates opened for the pony. "CAN THESE MOVE ANY SLOWER?!" yelled the pony as he weaved through the gate. He beamed as he ran to the building, but that emotion fled his face when he saw who was waiting there for him: Two unicorn stallions in suits. "Buck me."

"Class, settle down. Yes, the new school year is great, but talk on your own time. Now, I'm your homeroom teacher, Mr. Barker." Now Mr. Barker was a small brown unicorn, looked in his early 40's, and a tan mane with hints of grey," Now for attendance." as he looked down the list he saw somepony wasn't here, "Ben, where is Anthony?"
A short blue Pegasus with a charcoal black mane stood up," He was getting ready when I last saw him this morning sir." Whispers of "Late again", "Typical Anthony", and "he should have been here." swam around the room as Ben slouched in his desk. I thought he would try to be on time this year thought Ben as he stared out the door.

"But I WAS getting to class, then you stopped me!" struggled the white pony as he tried to free himself from the two unicorn's magic. In front of him was a pink Pegasus with a light blue mane. She walked to the white pony and sighed, "Anthony, I thought you were already here, Classes started thirty minuets ago. Where were you?" asked the mare as she put a wing on his shoulders.
"I was at home, my alarm clock didn't go off, and no pony woke me up." was the response Anthony gave to the mare.
The mare's face went red, but not a noticeable red, as she took her wing off Anthony," And who was it that forgot to wake you up?"
"Oddly enough, it was you, Sis." grinned Anthony as he looked at Sis.
Sis (I was lazy when making names, don't judge me XD) stood in shock at the fact that he called her Sis and not Principal, "Anthony!" Snapped Sis as he gave him a mean glare.
Anthony chuckled as he saw Sis try to be mean at him, "Being mean is not you, Prinicpal." said Anthony as he decided to act his age.
Sis gave a sigh and told the two stallions to let Anthony go, "Now get to class." said Sis as she started to walk to her office. Anthony looked at her and then went running down the hallway. He turned the corner and heard Sis. "And No running in the hall!" echoed Sis as Anthony ran to his locker.

Ben stared at the clock as class started to pull to an end. "Where is he?" mutter Ben as he returned his attention to the front of the classroom. But then Ben saw a white blur at the door, followed by a loud thud. Everypony in the class turned their attention to the door. "Pizza mare from Hoofers." yelled somepony from behind the door. The entire class roared with laughter as Mr. Barker opened the door with his magic. On the ground, was Anthony, staring at Mr. Barker.
"Well, welcome to class. Hope you know what the test is about." said Mr. Barker as he sent paper to Anthony's desk. Anthony was glad at where he got to sit: By Ben. Anthony bowed to Mr. Barker and walked to his desk.
"Mr. Barker, how about we give Anthony a pop quiz about what we've talked about in class?" said a white scruffy unicorn, who sat in the front of the room. The class seemed to nod in agreement to him and started asking Mr. Barker to do so.
Anthony lend over to Ben, : What is the topic this time?". Anthony looked at the other pony's text books and saw bits and pieces of info.
" The Discordian Era. Have fun." joked Ben as he closed his textbook. Ben turned away as he knew what was about to happen.
" Well, I can tell you, but then I would ruin your wonderful lessons." Said Anthony as he arose from his desk and started to walk to the front of the room.
"Quit praising me Mr. Anthony and tell us about what we'll be learning about this month." said Mr. Barker as he erased the whiteboard with his magic.
"Well, I will tell you, but only my way." said Anthony in his best Discord voice he could muster. trotted behind Mr. Barker's podium and started to teach the class in what he had seen and known about the Discordian Era.

"There was no need to do that Anthony." said Ben as they waked down the hallway to their next class.
They asked for me to teach them about it. I don't see why Mr. Barker hated me for that?" said Anthony as he stopped at his locker.
"May be because you not only ruined his presentation folder and break his podium, but also showed the class a field trip that we were not allowed to tell anypony." listed Ben as he hit Anthony upside the head with his wing.
"Oh." stated Anthony as he stood up.
"That is it? Just Oh?!" said Ben as he started to walk to class.
"No. Oh, I forgot my lunch today." said Anthony as he slammed his locker and trotted to his next class.
