Miss Cheerilee feels her job as a teacher is not only for academics, but to teach her students how to be better ponies-which unfortunately, is easier said than done with those like Diamond Tiara.

Who interrupts one of her lessons to make a distasteful comment towards Scootaloo.

There was also the quiet, but enthusiastically inquisitive Featherweight, whom she had to have a few talks with on respecting others personal privacy when she caught him snooping around the drawers of her desk.

I'm sorry, but I have to make this obvious joke:

Okay joking aside, this was a good fic. Though I did find a bit odd that Cheerilee wouldn't forgivie Trixie, despite the justifcation for it. I don't know, Cheerilee just doesn't strike me as the type to hold a grudge.

I understand where you're coming from and I probably could have made that clearer.

Most of it is misdirected anger at the fact that it's a repressed memory of public humiliation that keeps recurring in her subconscious and Trixie is unfortunate enough to be the individual responsible, making her easier to be angry with.

This is also because she was shown to be quite sadistic under the amulet's influence and the fact that Cheerilee knows very little about her outside of that experience.

So while she might be nice to Trixie if they ever met again, there's still that resentment beneath the surfae thanks to the emotional turmoil she had to endure, which makes it difficult for her to completely forgive her because she also put the amulet on, knowing what it was-so she may also have known of the effects beforehand and just didn't care with revenge being prominent in her mind.

Ooo... Make a story where DT breaks her legs, like Cheerilee said... :pinkiehappy:

I get what you are getting at, but I still don't like people like her. Even if they do have a change of heart, the damage is still done.

Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo uncertainly before shakily raising her hoof.

“Miss Cheerilee, could a Pegasus turn into a Bat Pony?”

Somepony likes a certain fanon :rainbowkiss:

“For how long? How long until Silver Spoon realizes that Diamond Tiara isn’t as good a friend as she is? Until she decides that she no longer wants to be friends with such a mean, selfish girl?” Cheerilee asked.

Real life doesn't really work that way though, much. Short of DT saying mean things to Silver or hits her or ignores her a lot, most people like Silver Spoon and DT will only grow closer together and make changing their ways harder.

Though, as they mature, it's not uncommon for either to change interests and the other adapt or both seek out different people later in life that more closely ties with their passions/destiny in life. Yet, many still stay in contact if only less than before or not change much at all.

This going by experience growing up from child to adult. Bullies attract more bullies and those who want to have 'fun' along with said bullies if they find making fun of others to be 'fun'.


Nice little refrences throughout. Hope to see what I missed or didn't miss once you get around to fixing that one gap in your story. No idea how much was supposed to be there or not.

Cheerilee having choice words not suitable for foals to read? Ouch. I don't think I've ever had to raise my voice at any misbehaving child before to get them to listen and play nice. And I've dealt with some mean ones, let me tell you, so I'll just assume Cheerilee is more the type to use strong *for a pony* to say or she just doesn't want DT reading what the note would say to her dad about her. lol;

The ending message was really nice, Cheerilee gave some good advice. I wish the ending didn't end where it did, I was hoping she'd actually teach a class on the Morality to the class. But a personal lesson to the two on a personal level tends to have more of an affect on others anyways.

Have a like ^^

EDIT: Wait a minute... IS this story complete? Because this new font change is not showing me one way or the other. :applejackconfused:

This feels unfinished.

You know, now I'm imagining years from now that DT & SS end up all alone except for one another in a luxury retirement home where the staff only cares about their bits and nopony visits them while the CMC end up in a shared home cared for by their families who come visit every day and spending their time telling their descendants about their crusades.

“As far as science is concerned, the Bat Ponies have always had these physical traits; any changes that might occur would probably be magical. But, those are the kinds of ridiculous ideas that sell horror movie tickets. No Pegasus could just suddenly turn into a Bat Pony and it almost certainly couldn’t happen overnight. I’d stake my teaching career on it.” She laughed.

Cheerilee clearly has not met Flutterbat.

:unsuresweetie: Umm.......
It's good?
I don't really know what to say now. when I got to the ending, it seemed as if something was... different.....
Oh who cares it's still good. :twilightsmile:

Yeah, I originally just wanted it to be a typical day with Cheerilee as a teacher, but dealing with Diamond Tiara messed with that because then I wasn't sure how to end it.

But, then if I had her act up and Cheerilee not do anything, then it would make her look bad and I would potentially have to face accusations of her being written out of character.

So, I went with what I felt would be the right decision at the time (albeit, clumsily).

I understand that and based on what I've seen from Diamond Tiara in the show, her going through the rest of her life being a remorseless jerk is entirely plausible (I've had 'friends' like that, so I understand that better than you might think.)

However, I wrote Cheerilee as a teacher who is upset with one of her students, but wants to believe that she will one day change for the better and a half of what she said was for the benefit of cheering Scootaloo up.

Frequently she had emphasized that he had to work on turning her daughter around before it was too late.

Well? Which is it?

Or...

Cheerilee is DT's mother!? What a :twistnerd:!

Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo uncertainly before shakily raising her hoof.

“Miss Cheerilee, could a Pegasus turn into a Bat Pony?”

And then the next day Scootaloo turns into a bat. The end.
