"It's Tater Thursday!" Sonata cried happily as she piled her tray high with taters. 

"Sonata, we know that. Now, go away and LET ME HAVE SOME TATERS!!!!!" Adagio yelled.

"Sheesh," Aria grumbled. "Somebody had too much evil magic. Oh, wait, maybe you ate that muffin instead!"

Adagio gave Aria an evil glare and stormed off.

"Cheese Puff Head!" Aria called after her.

Sonata stared at the mystery meat. "What's this? Some sort of dead, flattened, processed anteater?"

Cafeteria Lady smiled. "It's.. I don't know! Must be good for you! Here, have some!" She drowned Sonata's taters in dead anteater and dressing. "Have a good lunch!" 

"Jump up, make a sound, HEY! Stomp your hooves, turn around! Start now, make a change, Adagio's a turd!" Sonata sang badly. Aria wrinkled her nose. She hated Thursday. And Monday. And Tuesday. Gee, she hated school! And Flash Sentry was here! He made it worse, and he was in her class after lunch. Ugh. Sonata was so stupid, too. She didn't know the difference between A and V. She-

"I'M A WHAT?!?!" Adagio snapped from the table, jolting Aria out of her thoughts. "Sonata, you didn't say that!"

"Oh yes I did!" Stupidnata replied. "You're a big, fat, cheese coloured turd!"

Adagio leapt to her feet-

And her juice spilled on her shirt. 

Aria just had time to think, Sonata is SO DEAD, before Adagio yelled, "THAT'S IT!! I'M NOT GOING TO SIT WITH YOU LOSERS ANYMORE! I'M GOING TO SIT WITH THEM!" She pointed at the fashionistas table. "Bye, TURDS," Adagio snarled, and she grabbed her tray and thundered away.

After a long silence, Sonata said, "So who's pumped for Taco Tuesday?"





Socials. The worst class ever. 

That was what Aria was thinking as she sat in her seat, listening to the teacher go on and on and on and on about nonsense that she wouldn't need when she was grown up and playing guitar onstage! Like, who sings about the three boats Columbus was in?
"The Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria," Nerdy Nerdface in front of her said. "Columbus also almost got thrown overboard when his shipmates were planning a mutiny. And..."

Aria groaned inwardly. Those were awful names for ships. If she was in his shoes, she'd call them the Epic, the Firebreathing, and the Dragon. Epic, Firebreathing, Dragon. Awesome.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't hear the teacher ask a question. But she did hear, "ARIA! Who were the rulers of Spain at the time?"

"Huh? Oh, um..... Queen Quesadilla and King Flamenco!!!!" Aria blurted.

The class roared with laughter.

"No! Aria Blaze, if you don't listen, you won't improve your grades! Applejack?"

"Uh... Ah don't know. Am ah allowed to look in mah book?"

"NO. Rarity?"

"Oh, the fabulous King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella! My, their clothes were amazing! I would LOVE to wear a dress or-"

"Yes, Rarity, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. What did they give to Christopher Colum....."

Aria tuned out again with a sigh... And felt someone poking her. 
Flash was glaring at her.
"We're gonna get you back, ARIA. And really, really soon."



SCHOOL WAS OVER!!!!!!!!

"Yes! Only one more day!" Aria cried. 

"And it's Fennel Friday tomorrow!" Sonata added. 

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
