"So, Twiwight, whewe do yoo wive?" Rarity decided to ask once they had some time to talk to each other inbetween their learnplay session.
"I used ta Live in Starswirl Village with my mama and dada." Twilight began to explain, as it was one of the only memories she remembered having at that time. "We had a happy life there until Dada got a new job in this town."
"Wat do yoo mean by job?" Rarity decided to ask as she tilted her head curiously.
"Mama and Dada always tell me that a job isn't for children of our age." Twilight said. "She said only when we grow up and become older, then we can get these jobs."
"I tink a job sounds icky." Pinkie said as she stood up on her wobbly legs to address the group together. "Besides da howwibwe wowk, yoo dun get ta tawk ta peopwe as yoo do it. Wat a cwuew ting ta have."
"Evewybody is onwy a toddwew fow a whiwe." Flutershy said, remembering some words her mother imparted to her. "If yoo dun have fun and pway now, yoo may nevew have a happy wife watew.
"Yeah, widout da fun pawt, what's da point in being a kid?" Dashie said, clearly in an excited tone. A dead giveaway that she was going to stick true to her previous statement.
"Hehe, alright, Rainbow Dash. I get what you're saying." Twilight said as she was taking everyone's words into account. "Everyone has ta be the kid they are today, before it's too late."
"And how exactly can they be the children they are, without getting something to eat inbetween?" Said Twinkleshine, butting into the conversation. This time, she had a tray full of fruit and drink, no doubt for the children.
"Oh, hi, Miss Twinkleshine." Twilight said, turning to face her teacher. To which the rest of kids by her turned as well.
"I thought, I'd bring you girls something to replenish your energy and give you more time to play." She said, setting down the tray in the middle of the group. "Take whatever you girls fancy."
The six of them no longer needed any prompting. They looked closely at all the fruits and drinks on the tray and picked the ones they liked the look of. Once they got their foods, they spread themselves out so they could lay their choices out with lots of room.
"Alright, girls. If you need any more food, don't be shy to call on me." Twinkleshine took the tray back up and went over to another part of the room, so that she could serve the rest of her class.
After she had left, the girls shifted their positions from sitting on their diapered bottoms, to lying on their fronts, so that they could look at each other and eat at the same time.
The girls had chosen quite selective selections of food, besides Applejack who had chosen an apple and some apple juice. No surprise there, but Twilight had taken a pear, Rarity had chosen grapes, Fluttershy had an orange, Dashie had a banana, and Pinkie had a plum. Their drinks were all juice cartons, with a wide range of flavours.
"So, Pinkie, can I call you that?" Twilight said as she started to spark up what seemed like another conversation.
"Yes, Twiwight. I'd wove it if yoo cawwed me dat." Pinkie giggled as she took that nickname to heart.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Twilight asked, taking a bite of her food after she had posed the question.
"Actuawwy, yes, I do hsve a few sistews." Pinkie said, washing down her bite with another sip of her drink. "I have thwee sistews dat awe a coupwe of yeaws owdew dan me. My sistews awways hewp me out when mama's not thewe. Dey'we vewy kind ta do aww dat fow me."
"My sistews, Swate, Gwanite and Maud awways give me aww da wove dey can give, and awe vewy good at teaching me tings." Pinkie said as she decided to go on and on and on. "Dewe was dis one time, whewe we wewe pwaying hide-and-seek, and I accidentawwy ended up in da cookie jaw as my hiding spot. It took dem fowevew ta find me." She giggled.
"Either that is one big cookie jar, or Pinkie was a really small infant back in those days." Twilight thought in her mind as she kept listening to Pinkie's memories. "I wonder if anyone else here has some secrets..."
"Dat's one impwessive stowy, Pinkie." Dashie said as Pinkie finally finished her story. "But not aww of our stowies awe happy..."
And as if time was once more as accurate as it was, Dashie heard some muffled giggles from the wall. They sounded young, yet they were also slightly older than her voice. This caught Dashie's attention and she climbed up the nearby bookcase, so that she could see the cause of the laughing. Her friends were right behind her, seeing what had Dashie on edge.
"Dashie, wat's wong?" Fluttershy said as she too looked out the window to see what all the commotion was about.
"Dem again..." Dashie said as the rest of friends looked out at the sight in front of them. There was a garden area, that was split in half by a wooden wall, so that both the Twinkles and the next door class had an equal area to play in. This didn't agitate Dashie though, the playing children on the other side did.
"Big kids..." She said, a rare tone of fury in her voice, which was surprising for a child of Dashie's age. The children looked no different from Twilight and her friends, besides the different sized clothing and shoes. But the big difference, was that these children weren't wearing diapers.
"Rainbow Dash, what's wrong with these kids?" Twilight asked as she tapped Dashie's shoulder to grab her attention. "I've never seen you angry at something before."
"It's just dat dese kids tink dey'we so much bettew dan us." Dashie turned to face Twilight, so that the two of them could discuss Dashie's fury. "Dey awso said dat dey thought dat deiw toddwew yeaws wewe a cuwse."
"Yeah, dey tink dey'we so gweat because dey can use da po-tty," Rarity said, in a mocking tone as she now looked at those other children outside with a scornful look. "And because dey weaw pants."
"And dat dey dun have ta cwaww wike us." Pinkie said, joining Dashie's side as she too now noticed what was different with these children outside. "Wawking's not onwy tiwing, but it huwts as weww. Cwawwing's much mowe convenient, and fun."
"Dey make me sick." Dashie said as she turned back to the group, who were now sitting down, comprehending what they had just saw. "Not onwy can dey do mowe tings den us, but my mama was wobbed by big kids when I was onwy a week owd."
"Really?" Twilight said, feeling sympathetic for Dashie, but at the same time feeling curious. "I'm sorry, Dashie. Nobody should be stolen from, according to my mama."
"It's awwight, Twiwight. Dis stuff happens now and again, ta evewybody at some point. Dat's what dada awways towd me" Dashie said as she now felt a little bit calmer now. "Anyways, don't wet it compwetewy wuin youw day."
"I'll keep that in mind." Twilight said as she climbed back down the way she had climbed up.
Once Twilight had reached the padded floor, the others decided to follow suit, saving their frustrations for another day. They made it back to their food and had just enough time to finish it all, before they could start the last thing of the day.
When Twinkleshine had noticed that it was time for the last session of the day, she waited for the children to finish eating whatever food and drink they were consuming before cleaning up the mess afterwards.
After all the trash had been cleaned up, she let the class get on with whatever they wanted to do. Pretty much all of the class went off to do the fun things they wanted to do. Even Twilight and her group followed suit and began playing also.
Some of the children even went over to Twinkleshine if they wanted to play dress-up, since they couldn't dress themselves. To the children who did dress up, Twinkleshine was happy to dress them in whatever they wanted. Most of the girls dressed up as princesses, no surprise there.
"So, Fluttershy, why is the word 'shy' in your name?" Twilight asked as nicely as she could.
"Umm, weww... It's u-uh, pwetty sewf-expwanatowy." Fluttershy said, turning her head so that it looked like one of her eyes was covered by her hair. "I'm scawed of pwetty much anyting new."
"So, if that's the case, why aren't you scared of classrooms?" Twilight said, then facepalmed as she now remembered that she was scared of anything NEW. "Wait, you were at a different school as well?"
"Umm, yes. But how did yoo know about dat?" Fluttershy asked, turning her head back to Twilight, showing both of her eyes once more.
"Just a hunch." She said, blushing a little, seeing as she new that Fluttershy was curious on how Twilight knew about Fluttershy's previous school.
After this little conversation, Twilight decided to take a walk on the imaginative side and went over to Twinkleshine for a quick dressing...
Twilight looked down upon her flourishing kingdom with a smile. The sky was blue, the land was plentiful and magic, and the world seemed at peace. In the town, people were either buying/selling stuff, working their jobs, or just being themselves.
The world seemed to be a in a harmonious state with Twilight ruling the land, and with her faithful advisors: Applejack, who tended to the gardens. Rarity, who made Twilight's formal wear. Pinkie, who was Twilight's jester. Rainbow Dash, the captain of Twilight's guards. And Fluttershy, Twilight's own personal bard, Twilight seemed to be one of the most prominent rulers of the whole childish land.
However, that all changed when the Diamond Democracy attacked...
Their numbers were pretty large, despite all their armour and weapons being childish. Led by a queen with a bad case of greed, known only across the kingdom as Diamond Tiara.
She was also a prominent ruler, and a fantastic strategist. Legend has it, that she brought down an entire kingdom, just for blowing up the dungeon underneath it.
The ruler of this new kingdom wanted Twilight's so badly, due to the fact that her lands were quite plentiful and ripe with food and water, that she would not rest until it was hers. And with her one and only princess, Silver Spoon, she would wage an attack which would shatter Twilight's defences in a record time.
The two kingdoms went at it with everything they had, firing a whole array of childish artillery upon the ground forces that assaulted each castle. Many lives had been forced to nap once they had taken excessive damage, but the two leaders would still be a wake and ready to deal the fatal blow.
After many days and many nights, the two rulers eventually discovered that they were equal in wits, size, power, and imaginations. So the question was, what to do?
Until a great idea hit Twilight during their most recent meeting. A declaration of unity, to wipe the bloodstain of the childish documents of the two lands for good.
Eventually, after tiresome debating, Queen Tiara found that Twilight's proposition seemed like a good idea in the end. So, she gladly went along with the idea of combining the two kingdoms in the end.
Once the two towns had been united as one, Queen Tiara and Princess Spoon went off to join Twilight's ranks. The two regal rulers, and the 6 honourable consorts, were now looking down upon a new world with happiness and grace. Eyes that looked upon the weak and poor with charity, buffness that would prevail through any future battles, and imaginations so active, that no-one else would compare with them...
"So, Twiwight. What do yoo wanna do today?" Diamond asked as she looked down upon the grand kingdom they owned together.
"How about a game of Tag to pass the time?" Twilight suggested, remembering that they all needed some fun before they all grew up.
"Whadda yoo say, Siwvew? Yoo wanna join in?" Diamond turned to her partner as if to grab even more followers into their little game.
"Ah, awwight. I'ww pway awong." She said, coming in closer to the group. "Wat about you girws?" She then turned to face the rest of Twilight's friends
They didn't even need to be answer. They merely smiled, nodded and joined in split seconds. Within a few seconds, the entire group was ready to play Tag.
"Weww, I tink Twiwight shouwd go fiwst." Diamond said as she placed her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "She's shown da couwage, da heawt, and da knowwedge ta begin."
"Any objections?" Twilight asked to the rest of the group, in case they had different opinions on Twilight being it first. "No? Well then, let's get started..."
Twilight only gave the group 10 seconds to run before she began to chase them. Once the time was up, Twilight charged towards Applejack as fast as her little legs could carry her. She landed a good tag on Applejack, before she ran the other way, to avoid a tag-back.
The entire group was playing very well, moving very quickly and using the environment to their advantage. Eventually, Applejack struck Silver, who struck Fluttershy, who struck Dashie. This chain went on for a while. Even so, the group liked it, very much...
Once the day had come to an end, Twinkleshine called the class into another semi-circle, so that she could end the day and give some closing remarks. All the kids dropped what they were doing, so that they could listen to Twinkleshine and what she had to say.
"Well, class. It's been fun meeting all of you, but I believe that it's now the end of the day." She said, waiting for the children to reach with sad 'aaww's. Once they did, she got their attention back. "But this isn't the end of it all. Now you've all got to get home to your parents and get some sleep for the day ahead of you."
She went over to the door and opened it, where all of the children's parents were waiting for them. Even Twilight Velvet and Stardust Sparkle were here. They had all been waiting patiently to take their children home for the night.
"Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer, see you tomorrow, kids." She said as she dismissed the group to re-unite with their parents. They all moved as fast as they could on all fours, and hugged their respective parents once they made it to them.
Once Twilight made it back to Velvet and Stardust, she heard a barking noise which she remembered all too well. the two parents parted, so that Twilight could see the noise of the barking behind her.
It belong to none other than her favorite puppy, Spike. Spike ran up to her, and she brought him into a cuddle. Twilight was happy to see Spike again, and she was rewarded with Spike licking her happily.
"Did you have a good time, Twilight?" Velvet asked her daughter after Spike finally got off of the giggling Twilight.
"Oh yes, Mama." She said, looking back at her friends, who were reuniting with their parents in hugs as well. "I made these friends that you were talking about."
"Well, that's wonderful. Twilight." Velvet picked up and then nuzzled her daughter, causing her to blush.
"So, was it a good first day at school?" Stardust asked as the two of them walked out of the establishment, with Twilight being carried the whole time and Spike following close behind.
"Yes. Yes it was..." Twilight said as she fell into a deep sleep into her mother's arms. She had had a busy day at Ponyville Kindergarten and needed to rest her energy for the next day.
It had been a very pleasurable experience for Twilight and all of the friends she had made today. She finally knew that there was more to life than just reading, and it would be sure, as sure as the sun and the moon orbit the earth, that Twilight's term was only going to get better from here.
