Silver Spoon never expected her life to go this way as a filly, but she was happy with how it turned out. She had a good career, a loving wife, and good friends. Teaching at Ponyville Elementary was a job she loved, and like all good teachers, she cared deeply for the needs of all her students.

Written for Speed Fics R Us at Trotcon 2019 in approximately 45 minutes. Written longhand in blue pen, which will be represented by the basic font, and purple crayon, which will look like this.

Prompt was "Cheerilee", "Vinyl Scratch" and "Manehatten". Twist was originally in the prompt, but they are cowards and replaced her with Vinyl Scratch for some reason.

I haven't thought about the original for years. Any continuity or lack thereof to prior canon is purely coincidental.
