"Princess Pen pals?!" asked Mr. Barker's class as the sat in shock.
"Yes. We've talked about what has happened during the Discordian Era, so you now how we are able to do this, right? " asked the teacher with a look of pure dread as he scanned the room looking for any raised hooves. Once he knew that everypony was on the same page, he carried a basket with small cards, "Now I'll be passing out your pen pals names. Pick one and pass it on."
As everypony got a small card, different reactions occured. Some were terrified, some were happy, but all were confused at the names.
"Ben, who did you get?" asked Anthony as he leaned across the aisle to see what was written on the small paper.
Ben hid his note from Anthony till he got to see it first, "I got a...Trollestia? Who is that?" asked Ben as he saw Anthony's face. Anthony was trying not to laught at the thought of Ben and Trollestia. He dare not tell him that she was the complete opposite of him, in more ways than one. "Well, fine then, don't tell me. But at least take the basket from Tom." said Ben as he pointed towards a grey unicorn with his wing.
Anthony saw Tom holding the basket and took it from him, "Thanks Tom." Tom shoc his head and stared at his letter. Anthony took a deep breath as he moved his hoof around the basket. He saw one partly opened saying something about a Twilight, "No way I'm getting that." He shoved his hoof in, making sure that the twilight one was still visable. He pulled out a small letter, like everypony else, but this felt....wet. He opened the letter and saw only five letters: M-O-L-L-Y. "Molly? Who in the hoof is Molly?" Asked Anthony as Ben saw his letter. Ben busted up laughing as he fell out of his chair. "Oh HA HA Ben."
As everypony sat down for lunch, Ben and Anthony sat at a table alone. Ben sat by a flustered Anthony as he saw him reading her bio like it was a SAT. "Anthony, you okay?" asked Ben as he saw Anthony didn't touch his lunch.
"How, what, who?" Muttered Anthony as he stared at the Bio at hoof. He was about to snap, when Ben took the BIO away and gave him his lunch. "Oh, thanks Ben."
"No problem. Now what is the matter with your Pen pal?" asked Ben as he looked at the Bio as he ate a daisy sandwich.
"What's wrong?! She is not only named stupidly, but her bio is a mess. I mean, Discord must have been drunk and high when he made her!" said Anthony as he slammed his hoofs down on the table, "And how was she allowed to enter this anyways?"
Ben chuckled at Anthony's outburst," By luck I guess." As he looked at his pen pal's Bio, "Well, maybe you have the better partner." Ben gave a low groan as he walked away reading the bio.
Anthony sat staring at the clock, yet again, during Mr. Prism's science class.He was usually taking notes, but today he seemed distant. Molly, a nickname for a Princess Molestia, thought Anthony as he watched the second hand on the clock. Anthony had read her bio, or what was not covered with sharpie. Molly was the nickname of a princess; She had a sister, probably wanting to do the same as her thought Anthony; Other than Molesting, she liked to travel, make sandwiches, and spandex; She wrote her flank size, but Anthony covered that in sharpie, but he did note about her gender-bender gun-ray, thing. "Why do we have to do this?" moaned Anthony as he turned to the front of the classroom.
"Well, I could stop helping you, along with everypony in class review for your quiz Monday, Mr. Anthony." said Mr. Prism as he stood in front of Anthony as he held a review sheet in his magic aura.
"That's not what I meant!" said Anthony as he hopped out of his seat to explain what he meant to his teacher.
Anthony and Ben walked to the apartment, tired and satchel bags almost empty. Once they got home, the sank into the living room and lied on the sofa. They were almost asleep when the front door busted open as Sis came in with pizza underwing, "It's Friday! You now what that means?!" Yelled Sis.
After her abrupt appearance, Ben shot up to the ceiling and landed on Anthony. After that, Anthony groaned with the most annoyed groan, "GET OFF ME!"
After they got Ben off Anthony, Sis apologized, "I'm sorry guys, didn't mean to scare you." She slid a box of pizza over the coffee table as a sign of sorry, "I got pizza.". Once everypony got their fill of pizza, they sat down and watched some TV.
"Umm, guys, it's friday. Which means?" said Sis as if she really wanted to hear a legit awnser.
"I'll get my wallet." said Ben as he flew down the hall to his room. Once he got back, Anthony and Sis were waiting for him, ready to go.
Once they got into Barns and Neigh-bles, Ben bolted to the comic area. Sis and Anthony spent five minuets hunting for him. Once they found him, he was half way done with a issue of Bat-mare. Sis picked up Green Maneturn and sat by Ben. Anthony sat by Sis and watched as they sat and read.
"Umm, Sis, anout the Princess Penpals?" asked Anthony as he tried to distract Sis from her reading.
"Yeah, what about it?" said Sis as she flipped to the middle of the comic.
"Well, do you now who got who?" asked Anthony as he sat in fear waiting for her reaction.
"No. Why Ant?' asked Sis as she was almost done with her comic.
"Well, I got Molly." wispered Anthony as he scooted by Ben.
"WHAT?!" Yelled Sis as she tossed her comic to the ground.
Anthony and Ben jumped back ten feet and Anthony was in Ben's hooves. Ben was the first to muster any words, "What happened Sis?"
She slid the comic to them as they stared at the page it was on, "It's a To-Be-Continued." moaned Sis as she laied on the ground.
"You mean Cliffhanger?" asked Ben as he let Anthony go to the floor."
"Cliffhanger, To-Be-Continued, same thing Ben." said Anthony as he started to trott away, "I'm gonna see if there is a new Daring Do book."
Anthony walked by the Starbucks in the center of the store and went to the fictional section. He liked Daren Do, but some of A. K. Yearling's fans were weirdos. He remembers seeing a rainbow pegasus fighting for one of the newer books three months ago, if it wasn't for the purple alicorn, the pegasus would have been arrested on site. He picked up what was labeled the newest book and looked at the cover, he already read it. Anthony trotted back to where Ben and Sis, when he saw a white-ish pony with a pink sparkly mane in the Starbucks flirting with the cash-register Colt." Poor kid." wispered Anthony as he dashed when he saw Sis and Ben at the doors to leave.
"Ready to go?' said Sis as she held a bag with a book in it.
"Yeah. " said Ben as he hovered out the door.
"Sure thing Sis, besides, Fifty shades of colors needs proper light." joked Anthony as Sis gave him a loo of anger.
"You get back here Ant!" yelled Sis as she bolted to him like a bolt of pink lighting.
Once they got home, Sis first hit Anthony with her book and went to read it. Grabbed her reading glasses and sat in her chair to read her book. Ben and Anthony gave her grief, but let her read it in peace. She could do what she want after school-hours.
Anthony and Ben went off to Anthony's room to work on letters to their Pen pals. As they closed te door, Ben started to hum Mission Impossables' theme. "Quit Ben, I'm only closing the door." laughed Anthony as he closed the door.
"But it's funner with music." chuckled Ben as he got a quill and paper for him and Anthony, "Now lets get working on those letters.
As the started to work on there letters, Anthony was stumped. "Ben, how do I write to her?"
"With a quill....sorry, trying to think of what Trollestia would be like if I had to live with her." said Ben as he rose from his paper.
"Not a bad idea, Ben." said Anthony as he dove into his letter.
Dear Molly,
Hi, my name is Anthony. I'm 16, a stallion, and live with my cousins. I have little to say other than that. I could say what I look like, but odds are, my teachers will add my picture to this letter anyways. So I have a question to ask you: What would you do if I had to live with you?
