Ponyville confessions

Ms. Cheerilee

So I’m sitting there, tending bar, when in comes one of Ponyville’s nicest ponies, Ms. Cheerilee.

Whenever I saw this pony she was just an epitome of everything ponies in Equestria stand for: kindness, love and patience. She’s always quite bubbly and very cheerful. Something about working with children really builds up somepony’s patience.

Today, however, she was in a different mood. She entered visible angered and irritated. It took me quite a bit by surprise and, naturally, I wanted to know why this was.

“Good mornin’ Ms. Cheerilee”, I said, trying to be cheerful.

She shot me an irate glare.

“What’s good about it?” she asked grumpily.

“Hey, I’m just trying to make chit chat”, I said.

“Yeah, well less of that and more of whiskey pouring”, she said groggily.

I poured in a shot for her.

She gulped it and demanded for another.

I did it and the same thing happened.

It took four shots of whiskey to finally calm her down.

“Ah, thank you barskey”, she said with a pleasant smile, “I really needed that”.

I stared at her in wide eyed awe.

“What was that?” I asked “I never saw you, scratch that, anypony down whiskeys as quickly as you did”.

“I am sorry”, he said, “but I am having just the worst time back at school”.

“What do you mean?” I asked her.

“Well, we just got a new teacher in our school”, she began as it finally clicked in my brain.

“Please tell me it’s not Sombra”, I sighed.

“Unfortunately, it is”, Cheerilee sighed, “Every second I am forced to teach alongside with him is like a nightmare”.

“Well it couldn’t be that bad?” I asked.

“Oh yeah”, Cheerilee began, “Every time he begins his lecture little fillies cry. Seriously, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!” she said emphasizing the words
“And his temper is so short that he lashes out at them with the slightest provocation. I have tried to calm him down, but he is just so stubborn. And to top it off, he as some weird teaching methods”, she sighed.

“What do you mean?” I asked her.

“Well”, she began, “A student failed to do a spell once and Sombra not only failed him, but made him wear a dunce for a week”, she waved her head in disappointment.

“Sounds pretty bad”, I said.

“Oh and that’s not the last of it”, she continued, “The kid complained to his parent whom in return confronted Sombra. I don’t know what happened, but after just one visit with the ex tyrant king, the dad dropped all charges”, Cheerilee said in fear.

“You don’t think---“, I gulped.

“That he used dark magic?” she finished my sentence, “No, but he certainly did something to him. Also there are his anger issues, usage of
loud noises and scaring children that really are getting to me. He has been nothing but a pain in the flank ever since he got to my school”.

“Sounds horrible”, I said, “but isn’t there anything you can do about it?”

“I’ll try to report his behavior to Celestia”, she said, “but I don’t think it will work out too well. So I am here with my good ol’ friend whiskey”, she smiled and gulped another drink.

“I don’t think you should have anymore”, I said, refusing to pour her another drink.

“I thought as much”, she said and gave me the money for the drink, “I’ll see ya around”.

“Yeah, see ya”, I said as she left.

You see a lot of weird things as a bartender. You see a lot of weird things at the Hay Palace. So, I see a lot of weird things as a bartender at the Hay Palace. And that’s no lie. Swear on me mum.
