"Ah, finally. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm happy to be back at school!" Sweetie Belle said as she leaned back in her chair, conversing with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "Nopony's gonna believe me that I actually got the Medal of Honor from Princess Celestia herself, not until recess time, anyway."

"Well, Ah'm glad that ordeal is over, too," Apple Bloom stated, "because Ah got grounded fer a week fer sneakin' one of Granny Smith's laxatives without her permission."

"I guess everything turned out okay after all. No more hectic searches, no more running around in dark tunnels and no more poison scares like that. At least I got to spend some time with Rainbow Dash out of this adventure," Scootaloo said before she turned to Sweetie Belle. "By the way, Sweets, are you over the whole, 'getting eaten, stepped on and sat on thing' yet? I'm just making sure your little adventure hasn't gotten to you yet."

"Who? Me? No way," Sweetie Belle casually said, waving her hoof outward for effect. "I've been fine sleeping without having any of those nightmares at all. There's no way I'm getting intimidated about getting eaten again, not at my size, anyway."

"Are ya sure? Because ya seemed a bit high-strung when Pinkie Pie mentioned that Ursa Minor she and our sisters ran into in the Everfree Forest," Apple Bloom pointed out.

"I'm okay, guys, really," Sweetie Belle insisted. "Of course, if I see another big mouth like that, ready to eat me up, then it'll be too soon." 

It was then that the Ponyville Elementary School teacher, the raspberry mare, Cheerilee, trotted in with a smile on her face. "Alright, everypony, now settle down," she commanded the hectic classroom, which quieted down in an instant. "Good. Now I hope you're all ready for an adventure, because we have a new exciting lesson to get to today."

The entire classroom was filled with foal mutters and questions. Sweetie Belle leaned towards Apple Bloom in her seat. "An adventure? What do you think she means by that?"

Apple Bloom shrugged. "Who knows? At least everyday, we learn something new, right?"

"Yawn," responded an unimpressed Scootaloo.

"Quiet down, please," Cheerilee said before she pulled down a detailed chart of an average pony and its insides. "Today, we are going to learn the basics of pony anatomy."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

CRASH!

Nopony in the classroom could explain exactly what happened. In one moment, they heard Sweetie Belle scream like she was scared out of her wits by the chart, and in the next, there was a filly-shaped hole big enough for a panicking unicorn filly leading outside. The students and Cheerilee all watched as Sweetie Belle became a white dot in the distance, her screams echoing off in the distance before she disappeared into the horizon.

Diamond Tiara raised an eyebrow. "What's with her?"

"Well, let's say she's got..." Apple Bloom and Scootaloo grinned at each other and slipped on a cool pair of shades. "...some serious stomach issues."

Bulk Biceps appeared in the hole, screaming "YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" before everything exploded.
