Challenges of a Teacher (Guest)

Author's Note:

Jerec with Ms. Cheerilee

Cheerilee yawned as she gets up for the day. Everything for her has become so different since the humans arrived. In fact ever since the fateful day of the first tasting, as ponies have started to refer to it, her life has taken an unexpected twist. In an odd sense she has become one of the most envied ponies in town. Why is that? Simply put, that even though each human village has its elders that can teach the younger generations, with a lack of human-sized-books, the humans families send their children to Cheerilee for schooling. So, to protect her human charges from being eaten and smuggled home by their pony classmates, she keeps them in the one place that is safest, though the irony is that it's in her gut. Many of the mares in town have become rather jealous because unlike them, she's swallowing the children completely legally, not that that ever stops them.

It was never her choice. As mentioned, many of the human students traveled to her school, but it took them a long time, and though there's no law about it yet, some of the colts & fillies began to hunt & swallow the students around them, and others just took the humans away for a late snack, as a toy, or as a friend. With many families realizing that their children are being taken away, entire villages demanded that this needs to be changed, with Cheerilee supporting them, writing a lengthy letter to Celestia regarding how human children should go to school. Luckily, Celestia replied, but to many teacher's surprises: not only would they pick the kids up, via swallowing them, but every morning, they'd have to swallow a pill that, upon reaching the stomach, would turn into a classroom for the human kids to attend to, complete with a miniature human version of the pony that swallowed it, though no more was explained. Of course, Cheerilee, with some help from Fluttershy, learned how to lie down and keep her throat open for the kids to walk into and out easily, along with how to swallow something without closing her mouth.

Today was the first day of this new human-class-in-stomach ordeal, and Cheerilee swallowed the pill that would bring in the class. As soon as she felt the pill land in her stomach, the pill opened and a classroom was in her stomach. Cheerilee felt the classroom in her stomach, feeling it inside, but it wasn't heavy at all. Being today, Cheerilee had to wear a yellow vest & hat, both with black strips and labeled 'School Bus'. Might as well call it moving class. She thought to herself, putting on the outfit. In the mirror, she looked ridiculous as she did felt like it, but sighed and made her way out, heading to the various human villages. As she trotted, she giggled about the somewhat odd turn her career had taken. In larger towns and cities they sometimes have large carriages that pick up the foals for school. Here I am one! The human children also found this law fairly strange; normally, they do whatever it takes to keep from being swallowed, but with Cheerilee, they lined up just as they used to with school buses, as she laid down and opened her mouth & throat wide enough for them to walk in. The kids stared ahead, feeling weird all over, but they climbed onto Cheerilee's tongue and walked into her stomach. The teacher, as delectable as they were, never pushed them against her palate or her teeth, and she never played with them either as hard as it is to resist. The whole fact that she had to stay still and lie down was almost torturous, but she knew that she had to do this. This doesn't help that half of the class taste amazing and the other half taste incredible!

As soon as she felt the last child enter her stomach, Cheerilee got up and continued her way to the next village, picking up each of the students. It never failed to give her an odd feeling though, seeing the parents of students wave happily to their children, even as they go down her throat. The last stop was different from the others, as there's only one student to pick up. The student was Eric, a boy who lived with Derpy and Dinky, and though he could just as easily attend school with his adoptive sister and he did for the most part, he usually ended up in her stomach along with some of the human students. Eric remembered how he landed in Equestria, and how he meet his adopted mother.

Eric was just a lone child at a local orphanage in the city. He was only 10 years old, but it seemed that no one wanted him; he wasn't the most smartest, strongest, most driven, or even cute, compared to the other kids. He was rejected again; lying on his bed, he weeped and hoped someone would adopt him. Unfortunately, some force had a dark sense of humor, and though he didn't see it, he was teleported away, where he instantly felt the cold on his pajamas. He looked up, seeing that instead of his room, he was outside, and instead of the summer heat, it was freezing outside! Eric shivered upon the cold wind hitting him; sure, he was use to cold temperatures, but this was probably below freezing. The sound of crunching snow was heard behind him, followed by a large shadow looming over him.

"Ooh! A tiny!" A woman's voice was heard. Eric turned around to see what he could only describe was a giant, grey pegasus with yellow wonky eyes, and a matching yellow mane. It lowered it's head to him, it's nostrils about as wide as his head, and he felt the pegasus sniffing him. It licked it's lips, and he crawled back a bit. "I wonder, do you taste like muffins?" Eric screamed and got up, running through the snow for his life. "Wait! Come back!" The pegasus followed, not having much trouble as Eric did. He ran for his life, using his size to navigate under & around a large crowd of what was other giant horses, though they didn't notice him at all. Eric ran ahead, past the large crowd, but found himself in an alleyway at a dead end. He could barely feel his hands & feet, and the snow blew harder on him. He looked around, but saw a shadow over him. He looked up, only to see the same pegasus land right in front of him, making him fall. "Found you!" Before he could react, the pegasus used it's feathered wings to pick the boy up, almost as if it were like fingers. "You look pretty cold. I know a warm place you can rest in." She lifted him up and opened her mouth wide, the tongue sticking out as she let out a loud 'Ahh!'. Eric hyperventilated and began to bawl as he saw himself being lowered.

"NOOO!!!" He cried! "I DON'T WANNA DIE!!! PLEASE!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE-IE-IE-IE!!!" Before he was about to touch the tongue, the pegasus stopped. He breathed hard, but the pegasus took him out, still holding him though. She looked sad now.

"Oh no! What did I do!? Oh Derpy, you can't do this; it's just a child! Please, I'm sorry! I-I didn't want to make you cry. I was hungry, you're not in winter clothes, and... oh Celestia, I'm so stupid! Sorry... my name's Derpy. What's yours?"

"E-Eric. W-why were you going to... eat me?" He cringed.

"Sorry, but it's what we ponies do; you're a human, and you can survive in our stomachs, but, you're all very tasty."

"T-tasty?"

"Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, I should've though first. Where are your parents, Eric? Any description?" He sniffed a bit.

"I... I don't have a family." Derpy turned her head.

"You don't?"

"No. I'm... I'm an orphan. I don't have any parents at all. I've been in an orphanage for my whole life, and... I think I will be." Derpy stared at the boy for a minute, seeing tears fall down his cheeks.

He has no family at all!? Aw, poor thing. ... Maybe... Oh, Derpy! What do you know about humans? They're tasty, they're small, and they're- She heard him cry. Turning, he was wiping tears from his face. ...They just need love. She brought her muzzle to him and she nuzzled him. He stopped crying and looked into her eyes. "You say you have no family? I beg to differ."

Eric wiped his tears. "H-how?"

She smiled "Because I'll be your mommy." He stared at her. She brought the boy to her chest and, with her hooves, and being careful, she hugged him. Eric felt the tight, but very soft embrace from Derpy, hearing & feeling her heart thump. He smiled and teared up again, hugging her soft fur. "There, there. See? Everything's going to be alright." The wind blew again, and Eric chatted his teeth.

Derpy's fur was warm, but it wasn't enough. He heard her stomach growl a bit. "Uh... Derpy?" She lifted him, balancing him below her right hoof.

"Yes?"

"Is... is it alright if you... take me to your warm place?"

She stared, but smiled. "Of course, Eric." She opened her mouth wide and stuck her tongue out like a carpet. She carefully tilted her hoof, and Eric fell onto her tongue. She brought her tongue back and, not wanting it to end quickly & have Eric know she'll protect him, Derpy decided to play with him for a bit.

Eric had a tough time seeing in Derpy's closed, warm maw, but felt her tongue tasting him. He cringed a bit, but the warmth of her tongue and saliva it produced made Eric feel almost clean. He laughed as Derpy licked his face affectionately, and Derpy couldn't help but smile. He hugged the tip of her tongue, wiping the saliva off of his face. "I love you, mom." Derpy stopped what she was doing, hearing what he said. Eric walked to the back of her throat, seeing the dominating sight of her throat opening and blowing gentle & warm winds at him. It smelt bad, but he'll get use to it. He sat on the back of the tongue and pushed himself into the throat. Derpy swallowed him. Eric felt her throat muscles massaging his body, followed by landing on what he could smell & feel as a muffin. Derpy's stomach acids glowed a bit, showing his new 'room'. The place growled around him, and though he was a bit frightened by it, it quickly ended as Derpy let out a belch.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. I... I like it here." He rested on the digesting muffin, the bubbling around him, her stoach gurgling, the warm heart beating, Derpy breathing herself, he fell asleep in her stomach.

Derpy walked back home, ready to tell her daughter about the newest member of their family. Her acids worked on the muffin, and she felt Eric sleeping on, and hugging some of the muscles inside her. She couldn't help but smile. "Welcome to the Hooves family, Eric."

Cheerilee approached Eric, the boy standing there alone. Oh, Dinky must have gotten sick, or Derpy accidentally dropped something on her again. A good mare with great intentions that mare, just not the best hoof-eye coordination.

Why did Dinky get sick today? Eric thought to himself And why did Mom have to work early today?

As she approached the boy, she notices something slinking in the bush behind him. Her suspicions were confirmed when a rainbow colored tail flicked in anticipation. Cheerilee quickly caught Eric, catching him, the rainbow mare, and her current passengers off guard. She galloped away, snagging the boy with her mouth, quickly gulping him down, then turned to Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in Ponyville and waiting for Eric. "You know the rules Rainbow Dash, not until he's sixteen." She giggled and trots off, taking it easier on her occupants.

Rainbow Dash grumbled in frustration. "Lucky. You have that teacher exemption." Dash huffs and takes off to find some other unlucky human.

Eric quickly went down Cheerilee's throat and landed in her stomach. He was surprised to see an entire school building inside, along with some of the other students outside, some playing on the flesh around while others were having conversations, most likely around their new environment. "I wonder if we will learn something." He said to himself, getting up and entered the building. Sure enough, though it was more or less a magic thing (something he didn't understand), there stood a human version of Ms. Cheerilee herself.

The rest of the day went, albeit, weird, but well. Both Cheerilees taught their lessons on math, writing, history, geography, and other topics, but Eric looked outside, seeing the stomach of the teacher they were in churn slowly & trying to process the whole building, though to no success. When it came to lunchtime & recess, however, that's where it became weird; Eric and, with the the exception of some other students,brought their own lunch with them. It was fine, but Cheerilee outside, probably forgetting about the school inside her belly, had herself a daisy sandwich. Eric and all of the students inside watched is disgust as the esophagus of Cheerilee's stomach opened and dropped chewed up gunks of their teacher's lunch. Some of the boys ran out to the chewed up sandwich and played King of the Hill on said sandwich, leading Cheerilee to feel really awkward. Maybe I should do soup now. Both Cheerilees assigned homework, but the human version disappeaed in the air, as did the school itself. The real Cheerilee began the return trip for her kids. She went along, dropping the kids off at their villages, laying down and opening her mouth wide to let them walk out. While the kids exited, Eric felt very tired and fell asleep, and Cheerilee forgot about Eric on accident, returning to her home. She corrected some homework, laid down in bed with a good book, and had herself a nice dinner; a plate of imported oats. As she started to snack, Eric woke up to feel oats landing on him; not hurting him by any means necessary, but enough to get him fully awake.

"Mom?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. "When did you get oats?"

Cheerilee froze as she heard and felt something odd within her stomach. What? Oh no! Did I? Did I forget someone? "Hello in there. Are you okay? Who is in there?"

This isn't mom! Is that... Ms. Cheerilee? "H-hi teacher, um, I-it's me Eric."

"Oh dear, sorry about that Eric. Uh, I guess you get to sleep over at the teachers house. J-just don't go talking about this with everypony, okay?" The last thing I need is for some rumor to spread around town that I take human boys home to play with. Not only would that be a horrible thing to do, but it would be completely false, and get me run out of town real quick. She groaned inwardly. Besides, it's bad enough that they still talk about Big Macintosh and I, and there wasn't anything there to begin with either. She lets out a sigh. Oh why did Dinky have to be sick? "Well, um, goodnight Eric. I'll make sure to get you back home tomorrow, I'm sure Derpy's already frantic about you."

"I-it's okay. U-um, g-good night Miss Cheerilee."

Cheerilee giggled and laid down ton her bed. "Goodnight Eric." She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Eric, followed soon, and both slept. But he smiled. II bet I can get an A off of this.
