	"Snow Cloud, it's time to go to school. You ready?" I yelled to the top of the steps. Just yesterday was Snow Cloud's sixth birthday, and she was ready to go school for the first time. Snow Cloud yelled down the steps, "Coming, daddy!" and I heard hoof-steps galloping down the stairs. I soon realized she had Derpy's clumsiness, as she fell down the stairs. I trotted towards her and asked if she was alright. She simply nodded and got back on her hooves. She started to laugh and ran towards the kitchen to eat breakfast. She gobbled it down, burped, said excuse me, then ran for her saddlebags. She had a little trouble putting them on until I came over and tightened the straps. She thanked me, and I walked with her to school. She seemed so eager for school. She wanted to learn, my Snow Cloud. And I felt it my job to encourage her.

"Snow Cloud, do you have that apple you wanted to give Miss Cheerilee?" I asked. She in turn nodded and pulled out an apple from her saddlebag using her magic. I smiled, and ruffled her hair a bit. She put the apple away and leaped into the air, those little wings flapping. I was amazed at how fast she had learned to fly. Finally, we made it to the school, where Miss Cheerilee was waving for the kids to come inside. I brought Snow Cloud to Miss Cheerilee, and waved hello to the teacher. She smiled and said, "Oh, hello there, Music." She then asked, "How's the music coming along?" I told her it was fine, and introduced her to Snow Cloud. "D'aww," replied the teacher. "Isn't she adorable? I'm sure she will be much loved by her fellow classmates. Especially those Cutie Mark Crusaders."

Just hearing their group name made me sick to my stomach. They once hassled me with taking them to the music studio, where they trashed the place. The only one who didn't ruin anything and got their cutie mark was Sweetie Belle. It was a heart with a music note, similar to mine, except it was a normal 1/4 note on the inside. Funny thing is, she still is a part of the group, despite finding her talent already. I will admit though. They'd be some nice friends for Snow Cloud. It was as if they heard their group name get called, because suddenly, there they were. No kidding, it was as if they materialized there, crusader capes and all. Apple Bloom looked at Snow Cloud and said in a southern accent, "Hey there! I'm Apple Bloom. What's your name?"

Snow Cloud simply stared at her red bow and giggled. She then said with cutely executed pronunciation, "Hi. My name is Snow Cwoud." Miss Cheerilee d'awwed and told the CMC to head inside. She then looked to Snow Cloud and told her it'd probably be best for her to do the same before the school bell rang. Snow Cloud hugged me for one last time, then went inside. I headed towards the studio, and got to work on a new Modern Meets Classical track.





"Okay, class! We have a new student today! Her name is Snow Cloud, and this is her first day of school, so please be nice to her!" Said Miss Cheerilee as I stood next to her. I looked around the classroom. I saw the three girls from earlier, some boys (one with scissors for a cutie mark and another with a snail) and two girls who were obviously the popular ones. One of them had a tiara on their flank while the other, a spoon. I decided to sit next to the three girls from earlier. As I took off my saddlebags, the girl with the purple mane and tail and the orange coat of fur waved and smiled. The one next to her with the purple and pink mane mouthed the words "I like your mane." I noticed the girl who said that had their cutie mark. A heart with a 1/4 note in it. It was similar to my daddy's, but my daddy had a treble clef in his. Didn't matter though, I thought as I continued to look around the classroom. I then saw another alicorn, just like me, but with a purple mane and tail and a black coat of fur. She noticed me looking at her, and smiled, waving. I waved back with a shy grin on my face.

"Now then, class," said Miss Cheerilee with a bright smile. "I'm sure you all remember me, but for the sake of a new student, I'll repeat my name. I'm Miss Cheerilee. It's a pleasure teaching you, and I hope we can all get along this year!"
