Fillies and colts sat at their desks in the Ponyville schoolhouse, gazing out the windows and wishing for glorious freedom. Many of them scribbled notes and passed them about each other. Snickers, giggles, and groans could be heard throughout the classroom as a magenta unicorn mare with three daisies for a cutie mark lectured them about the principles of something or other, not that most of the children cared enough to find out what exactly was being taught at the moment. To any outside onlooker, it might seem as if the Equestrian culture severely undervalued education, though that may have just been the mentality of being a rather small town in comparison to cities such as Manehatten, Fillydelphia, and Canterlot itself.
The teacher glanced up at the clock. It was two-fifty-five. Five minutes until the class was dismissed. She erased the blackboard and pulled down a projector screen.
"Alright, children, I am afraid that we have to cut today's lesson short," Faces brightened across the room. "But first we must watch a PSA that was sent from Canterlot. Now, does anypony know what PSA means?" A single white hoof shot up, eliciting snickers from a certain corner.
"Yes, Sweetie Belle?"
"A PSA is a Public Service Announcement!" The filly said proudly before sticking her tongue out at her friends.
"Good job! Now this announcement is to warn you of the dangers of dragons! Watch the projection, please."
The unicorn levitated a clear gem into a little stand specifically meant for these types of gems.
She slid it in carefully, then directed a stream of magic into it, causing a black and white image to appear on the screen.
A menacing song started playing.
DRAGONS
and why they should be avoided
the scene changes and it now shows a group of fillies in a field, hugging and smiling in an excruciatingly obvious expression of friendship and happiness. Then, the scene darkens and a massive (obviously fake) reptilian beast comes roaring out of the sky with a mouthful of gleaming white fangs, legs ending in razor sharp claws, dark wings that blot the sky, and eyes full of hate. It swooped down upon the now terrified looking fillies, breathing fire into the air and gnashing its teeth.
If you see a dragon, do not attempt to fight it away or scare it. Simply inform your local police department, and stay indoors.
Next, it showed a group of police ponies with Celestia (And Luna, I guess) chasing after the dragon, the dragon, of course, went from menacing to comical with this transition and the class, which had started to huddle up and shake, released each other and started giggling as a funny song started in place of 'Dreams of Cruelty'. The teacher lifted the gem out of the stand, putting it back into the desk drawer.
"That's all for today, but before you can go, you must answer a question." The entire class groaned.
"What did we learn from the cinematic today?"
"Don't go near dragons." Almost the entire class droned, then stampeded out the door, leaving Cheerilee in a dust cloud.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS DRAGON CATCHERS, YAAAY!" Cheerilee was spun around on one hoof and left choking on dust.
She coughed a few times before realizing what the three had just said.
"WAIT, COME BACK!"
