Follow up to the episode Non-Compete Clause. It's Teacher Of The Month time again, and now Applejack and Rainbow look to have a shot. But once Twilight and co find out the extent of the duelling duo's antics to earn their nominations, what'll happen?

Who knows. But read on to find out.

Okay then, but it's not my fault you didn't like the episode. I wasn't a huge fan of it either, but I decided to write a fic about it because, like it or not, it's canon now. Have a good day! :scootangel:

EDIT: Oops, they deleted their comment. I hate it when people do that... :facehoof:

Rainbow makes a good point. Who's Pete?

Also, I'm more and more wondering what the point of this school even is.

I laughed when Twilight announced that AJ and Dash had tied for the award. I really thought it was some gambit to punish them for their stupid over-competitiveness! XD

But still, this was pretty entertaining.

Although Dash and AJ should really qualify for an intervention right now.

I think it's about time that you did.
'Fired', my foot!

I could tell, but I might have to kill you... :moustache:

And the school was all Twilight's idea. Why don't you try asking her? :rainbowderp:


8932778
Nah, it was fair and square. And I'm glad you enjoyed it. :ajsmug:

Starlight's a terrible cook? Who knew? :twilightoops:

Oh, and apparently Applejack and Rainbow Dash need the lesson hammered into them just a wee bit harder. :facehoof:

Just a little personal head canon of mine. After all, she didn't complain too about those awful cakes in Our Town, did she? :moustache:

Great job as usual deadpansnarker!

Thanks. I'll have a read of yours later on. I'm just working on another chapter of a fic that desperately needs updating. Watch this space... :raritywink:

Okay, I only liked second half of this story. :fluttershyouch: I know that first half was intended as a joke, but I didn't find it very funny. :ajbemused: Although I agree that a trophy shouldn't define someone's worth as a a teacher or as a person, I would like to believe that Fluttershy actually did more to earn winning Teacher of the Month for nine months in a row than just being a total pushover to her students and that Fluttershy is actually capable of being a good teacher. :ajbemused: In fact, I disliked the first half so much that I nearly disliked this story on that part alone. However, the second half was quite likable and funny, so I guess I won't be giving it a dislike after all. It didn't quite please me enough for a like either, so just consider me rather indifferent.

8933195I didn't say that I thought was the only reason, just one of them... which I think is a very real possibility. Still, thank you for reading, and giving your concise, interesting critique. :raritywink:

They'll each get to take it home for a set period so their proud parents can know what they've done

You do know they currently live at the school right?

his best friend and employee

Didn't know Spike was the boss of this operation.

Anyway, who's Pete?!"

I've seen one author use "Peat" for this very reason, so they can have it be a pony's name. (Not saying you have to, but... it's an option.)

Enjoyed overall. 👍

Twilight gestured to Fluttershy with a slight grin, as she continued to explain her plan. "Normally, after a situation such as this has occurred, it would be the second placed teacher who'd take home the trophy. But I believe, judging by Fluttershy's expression right now and private comments she's made in the past regarding this award, she'd be more than pleased to take a break from winning for a while. Which brings me to my idea, pending final approval from the rest of the staff. What I'm suggesting is to share the trophy amongst the six students who had to tolerate Rainbow and Applejack's bickering and one-up-ponyship for the entire session that day, and the fearless way they apparently saved the teachers lives, maybe even teaching them a lesson in the process. They'll each get to take it home for a set period so their proud parents can know what they've done, and they'll even get their picture on the wall, next to good old Fluttershy here! W-Well, multiple Fluttershys. Does that sound like a good idea to everypony?"

Very :ajsmug:.

I guess so, Rainbow. We really dropped a boner this time, didn't we?

Wow. AJ, that did not for once come out right.:twilightoops:

"Well, I was going to suggest giving the award to the flowerpot, but this is even better!"... Pinkie exclaimed in joy.

Ah, Pinkie Pie. Never change. Lol!

I think 'boner' is being used in its old sense. Some of the old Batman comics have the Joker using it in that context, which causes no end of amusement to immature students.

OK I have to admit that episode isn't that great But not really the worst I seen this happen before between those 2 being so competitive But I can see that they put those kids in dangerous and that's another downside of their competitive And I do wish they could Done a little bit better but it felt like it was rush and didn't have any time to write this episode
