"Spike, I'd like you to keep an eye on Aurora whilst she sleeps." Twilight instructed to Spike as she proceeded down the corridor with Hair Raiser behind her. "If she happens to wake up while I'm gone, be sure to keep her happy and under control.
"You can count on me, Twilight." Spike said, walking back to the room where Aurora slept and went in quietly, so as not to disturb her.
"So, are you sure that your dragon can keep little Aurora from feeling miserable?" Hair Raiser asked as she walked down the corridor to the front door where Twilight was about to open the doors for her and Hair Raiser.
"First of all, he's called Spike." Twilight said, shooting a little bit of a glare at Hair Raiser, causing her to flinch slightly. "Second of all, yes. I believe Spike has this under control. He's never let me down before."
"In all honesty, Mum, how long has Spike been helping you?" Hair Raised decided to ask now, since she was now curious on learning everything about Spike.
"Well, that is a good question. One that can be answered AFTER we get you signed up for the Ponyville Schoolhouse." Twilight chuckled as they walked out of the castle and into Ponyville. "It's much better to start learning once we get you settled into your new class."
"Alright, mum." She smiled as she and Twilight proceeded into the town.
As Twilight and Hair Raiser walked through town, they saw that everything was as it was. All was well, something that Twilight was glad of. Usually when Twilight is seen in Ponyville, ponies usually expect her to solve some kind of dilemma which was threatening the entire town or its' cultural integrity.
"Ahh, so glad to see Ponyville isn't in turmoil for once." Twilight smiled as she looked at all the peaceful goings on. "Hold on, I just want to double-check to be sure." Twilight lit up her horn and her eyes covered with light, as if she had a special sight which could see disasters coming a mile away.
Once Twilight was finished with her survey, she rubbed her head, since she was still working on foretelling disasters with no physical recoil. "Sorry about the delay. I'm still getting used to future-telling magic."
"Future-telling?" Hair Raiser asked as the two of them continued to walk towards the schoolhouse. "I'm certain that even from my knowledge, Time spells are near impossible."
"That's exactly what I used to believe." Twilight begun to explain as they made their way out of the city, closer and closer to the schoolhouse. "But since I earned my castle, I've been reaching new levels of phenomenal magic. As well as the rest of my friends getting more power at the same time.
"So, when you say power... What does that mean?" Hair Raiser pondered as they were now approaching the schoolhouse building.
"First things first, Hair Raiser." Twilight said as she walked the filly into the school grounds and into the main building itself. "We need to make sure you're settled in before we can discuss things further."
As Twilight and Hair Raiser walked into the classroom, they noticed that class was already in session, and all eyes were now focused on her. Twilight blushed awkwardly as she saw everyone was looking at her, but then remembered her position in this town.
"Sorry to interrupt your class, Ms Cheerilee." Twilight said as she entered the class and shut the door behind her. "But I have some pressing matters that I'd like to discuss with you."
"O-of course, Your Highness." Cheerilee said as she recalled the way to courteously greet a royal, "Would you like this to be in private, or should my class listen in as well?"
"I don't want anyone else but you or me to know about these matters." Twilight said, firmly as she stood in a regal pose. "I shall grant you access to grant these children an early recess, since these matters take time."
"Alright, everypony." Cheerilee turned back to her class, making sure they were all listening well. It was hard for them not to listen, Princess Twilight of all ponies was here today. "You heard the princess. Recess will start now and last longer whilst we discuss Twilight's business."
To this, the class cheered. All of them taking their things and running out of the class in a flash. Yet some of them moved slower than the rest, possibly to get a good look at Twilight and Cheerilee before they went out the door.
Once the class was clear of the children, Twilight pulled up two chairs and sat down on one of them, to which Hair Raiser took the second chair.
"So, what is it you wanted to discuss, Your Highness?" Cheerilee was the first to ask once the two ponies had taken their seats. "It must be something important."
"Well, my assistant, Spike, recently read a comic book which had been enchanted. Bear with me here." Twilight said as she decided to keep Cheerilee focused on the story at hand. "Once he read the footnote at the end, the magic kicked in, and it brought six foals and this filly into our world."
"Alright, I'm not sure about how you can manage six foals at once, but this filly should have been no problem for you, I'm guessing." Cheerilee decided to retort before being stopped by Twilight.
"It's not exactly like that." Twilight said, making sure her words were as accurate as the day itself went. "I distributed the foals to each one of my trusted friends, leaving the other foal for myself. As for this filly here, I was hoping you could enroll her into your class."
"Well, we are partially through a term, but..." Cheerilee pondered the idea of a new classmate in her mind as she furrowed her mane a little. Eventually, she remembered that there was one last desk that no-pony ever used and finally came to a conclusion. "I think I can get her squeezed in."
"Glad to hear that." Twilight smiled as she picked up one of the quills on Cheerilee's desk, as if she was prepared to sign some paperwork. "I'll also fill in the student information since I'm here."
One Boring Paperwork Later...
"There we go." Twilight said as she wrote her name on the final box and placed it down, waking Ms Cheerilee and Hair Raiser up once she had finished. "Everything's in order."
"Oh, you're done already?" Cheerilee said as she noticed Twilight placing the quill back where it was originally. Stretching her hooves in the air, Cheerilee recomposed herself for some parting words.
"Since we're already partially through today's schedule, I can't let her into the class at this time. I don't mean that in a sense that I hate her taking part in a day where we're almost done, but I feel like she could get a better grasp on a day at school if she were here from start to finish, so as not to confuse her if she doesn't get something to eat like the rest of the class."
"I understand perfectly." Twilight said as she took Hair Raiser from the chair and proceeded to walk out of the classroom with her. "I think she should start tomorrow. Would that suit you?"
"Yes, yes it would, Princess Twilight." Cheerilee smiled as she decided to walk out with her. "Thank you for coming to see me about this. I'm sure that Hair Raiser here will get a great education. I'll even mention that she's your own adopted child to help her out."
"You don't need to give her any special treatment." Twilight blushed as she remembered getting special treatment at Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns. "Just make sure the class treat her like a regular schoolkid."
"You have my word." Cheerilee bowed as she walked over to the playground to check in on the students. "Nice meeting you, Twilight."
As Hair Raiser and Twilight were about to walk out of the school grounds, they heard something odd. Something that sounded like a group of children had been put into a blender and were now screaming together.
"PRINCESS TWILIGHT!!!" Said a swarm of children who were breaking off from the playground and were rushing over to meet her.
"Oh boy." Twilight said in a surprised tone as she looked over at the children who were about to surround her. "Not this again."
"What do you mean by 'not this again'?" Hair Raiser asked once more as she too noticed all the frenzied children who were charging towards Twilight in a ridiculous pattern.
"There's no time to explain, get on my back!" Twilight said as she gave Hair Raiser no time to react and just levitated the filly up onto her back. "Now, hold on tight, this is gonna get rough..."
Once Hair Raiser was gripping Twilight as firmly as she could, both with her hair and with her hooves, Twilight began to cast another spell. The children were only a few feet away from them before Twilight cast her spell.
With a powerful flash of light, Twilight and Hair Raiser had teleported away, just in the nick of time as well. The children hadn't even noticed this and were now skidding before they all collided with each other, all of them looking depressed as their icon had vanished without a trace.
Back at the castle, a flash of light shone in the corridor and Twilight and Hair Raiser were back in the castle walls. Whilst Twilight looked unscathed, Hair Raiser looked like she had suffered a bad hangover.
"Hair Raiser, are you alright back there?" Twilight asked as she let the filly back down onto her hooves, to which she helped her up once she saw that Hair Raiser had fallen over.
"I-I think I'm g-gonna be s-sick." She said as she felt something crawling back up her throat. Without even any prompting or realizing she had done it, Hair Raiser threw up on the crystalline floors. She did this four times before she had finally stopped vomiting.
"Would you like a drink?" Twilight said as she conjured one up and held the glass in front of Hair Raiser's face. "Oh, hold on. First I need to clean your mouth up..."
"Thanks, mum. I appreciate that." Hair Raiser said as Twilight swiftly wiped the remaining vomit off of Hair Raiser's mouth, so that she wouldn't get a vomit-y aftertaste from the water. Once the vomit was all cleaned up, Hair Raiser sat down on one of the clean parts of the floor and downed the glass that Twilight had offered her.
"I guess we shouldn't do that with you again." Twilight blushed, remembering that she too threw up when she first tried out the teleportation spell. "Let's just stick to walking you to school from now on."
Once Twilight got rid of the empty glass of water, she proceeded to clean up the vomit. And by clean up, she had a group of cleaners do it for her. Whilst they were making completely sure that all traces of vomit had been removed from the corridor, she walked back over to Aurora's room, with Hair Raiser close behind her.
Twilight was about to open the door, but was then surprised when she couldn't even get it to budge. "Hmm, that's odd." She said as she tried using her magic to open the door, which also yielded no results. "I swore I didn't lock this door..."
"Hold on, let me try..." Hair Raiser said as she manipulated her hair through the cracks to try and open the door with it. To her surprise, however, she noticed that once her hair went through the crack, her hair felt something ice-cold. "Brrrrr, It's like a freezer in there."
"A freezer?" Twilight said as she now remembered what the Masked Matterhorn could do. "Stay here, I'll be out in a few minutes."
Once Twilight had warped into the door, she noticed the entire door had been frozen solid. Not only that, but the floor and a few walls had icy patches here and there. If that wasn't enough, she had also noticed that Aurora wasn't in her crib anymore.
She looked around and eventually saw what looked like a Spike ice sculpture over by Aurora. Aurora merely giggled at how silly looking Spike looked in this position, and she eventually moved around the room with ease, courtesy of the ice.
"T-Twi... L-light..." Spike said through his icy shackles. His voice was also quite cold and Twilight could tell that Spike had had a rough time with Aurora. "P-Please g-g-get me t-to a f-f-f-f-f-fire..."
"I will, Spike. But first, I have a naughty little foal to spank..." Twilight took Aurora up in her magical aura, took off her little Power Pony costume and diaper, laid her with her flank high in the air and proceeded to spank Aurora for freezing Spike solid.
