School of Friendship Week One: Detention
It's now 3:00 in the afternoon. Twilight and Rainbow Dash hear the bell ringing, signaling that the first day at the School of Friendship is over. They look at the detention slips as it starts to glow.
"Why is it glowing?" Rainbow asks.
"Could be Discord's doing," Twilight assumes.
The detention slips levitate and go into the floor, creating a red path beam.
"What the hay?" Rainbow is confused.
"I think it's supposed to lead us to the detention room since we don't know where it is." Said Twilight.
"Clever," Rainbow rolls her eyes and follows the red path beam to the detention center.
"I want to say it's for those who'll be going to detention for the first time."
Twilight and Rainbow arrive at the detention center. The two enter inside to see Discord (clone), Spike (Discord), and Starlight Glimmer. They gulp a little while taking their seats.
"Thank you for coming and not ditching detention," Starlight calmly said.
"So, what are we supposed to do in detention?" Rainbow asks.
"Discord, Spike, and I have decided to have you two here for half an hour. It will act as an only warning."
"After the first warning, detention will be an hour for any misbehaved students of the school," Discord (clone) informs.
"While you're here in detention, take the time to reflect on your actions and try to improve better. And, one more thing," Spike (Discord) said.
"Do not question how we teach and don't speak out of turn," Discord (clone), Spike (Discord), and Starlight said in unison.
"Honestly, we took the time to decide what to teach to our students. We came up with our plans and objectives. So, don't be subjective based on what we do to help better students in the understanding of Friendship," Discord (clone) said.
"Hey, Discord. Starlight."
"Yes, Spike?" Starlight replies.
"You two can leave. I'll stay."
"You sure?"
"Yes, Starlight. There is something I want to say to them in private."
"Alright, see you tomorrow, Spike," Starlight and Discord (clone) leave the detention center.
Spike (Discord) takes a long deep breath. He clears his head to focus on what he needs to say.
"When I decided to become a teacher here, I knew you six, will join immediately. I took the opportunity to see if you would better yourselves and embrace the change. Obviously, I stand corrected."
"That's not true! It's only the first day!" Rainbow exclaims.
"On the first day, will you make a good impression of yourself or act like a clown?"
"I'm not a clown!" Rainbow is getting irritated. "You've been targeting us like some sort of.., revenge scheme!"
"I didn't explicitly say who did what to me. I only showed what can happen. Disco and I were doing prank lessons to show what is exceptional and what isn't. Your pranks on me throughout the years have been brutal but, I didn't say what you did in my class, did I?"
"Well, uh.., no. No, you didn't..," Rainbow sighs.
"Also, it should entice you to learn what pranks you can scheme that'll be fun for all and not inflict pain on the victim. So you won't hurt the creature's feelings."
Rainbow sighs. "You're right. And my pranks have gotten out of hoof at times. I need to control myself better."
"And change for the better," Spike (Discord) sighs heavily. "I may not want to be friends with you cause I still need time to forgive you. I want you to change, not for me but for yourself. Become a better you. For some changes to occur, reflecting on the past will help."
Rainbow Dash nods. "Then, you weren't targeting us..."
"No. You made yourself an open target. I never said what you did to me when I was teaching. When I called you to answer, I was testing you to see if you'll take the initiative step on your road to redemption. Obviously, I saw you taking a turn in prolonging the simple answer. Then, you made a mockery of yourself and your friends in the class."
Rainbow Dash lowers her head as she failed the first day already. Twilight understands Spike's teaching methods better. It's a hurdle for her and her friends to overcome to become better friends for all creatures.
"The question is, you want history to repeat itself?"
"No way," Rainbow Dash quickly answers Spike's question. "I will succeed in improving myself starting tomorrow. No matter how painful the lessons are, it's a good reminder of who I once was and who I want to be going forward."
"Good, Rainbow," Spike (Discord) turns to Twilight. "What about you?"
Twilight sighs. "I need to accept how things are within the School and make an effort to change myself for the better. I was so excited earlier today about becoming a student; I wind up becoming a tyrant in class."
"According to Discord and Starlight, you have. Interrupting the class and wasting time is not a good way to better your image. I want to forgive you for your actions and want to see you change for the better. I can't because of how scarred I am, and you're showing me signs that you don't want to change your ways. You're seeking to take control and do things your way in the School. You lost your privileges to that. Also, the School of Friendship is for teaching every creature what Friendship is. It can't be the pony's way of teaching. Pony Friendship is flawed, and I should know. I experienced it my whole life, disregarding other creatures and being suspicious while ponies get the benefit of the doubt. It has to be the creature's way of teaching. So every creature can be together as one in unity. Every creature can embrace and share the same qualities of trust while keeping their guard up. Ponies seem to lower their guard with other ponies but not creatures. That's the area that needs fixing. Remember how Thorax was treated at the Crystal Empire?"
"Yes, I remember, Spike," Twilight remembers how that day went.
"Everypony never gave Thorax a chance to explain because he was different from Pony Kind. If he was a Pony, how do you think he'll be treated?"
"With open hooves and hearing his story..," Twilight said admittingly.
"Exactly. Remember the Zecora incident weeks after we moved into Ponyville."
Twilight sighs heavily, remembering that moment. "Yes."
"What did everypony do?"
"Go into hiding because she's different."
"And if Zecora was a Pony?"
"Greetings, welcomings, and let's be friends immediately."
"That's Pony Friendship right there. That is not needed going forward. That's one of the sole reasons why the Bar of Alliance was formed. The Friendship Ponies have, they don't want it. The Elements of Harmony is solely focused on Pony Kind. Teaching what the Elements of Harmony representation is important but, other qualities needs to be taught first. Do you understand?"
Twilight nods as she needs to rethink her logic way of thinking towards Friendship. Rainbow Dash has a lot to study to better herself as a friend and as a better pony.
"I would appreciate if you tell this to Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. They should know and understand what the School will be instructing going forward. Also, to reflect on their experiences on treating some creatures versus all of Pony Kind."
"We will, Spike," Twilight and Rainbow said in unison.
Spike (Discord) smiles and sighs in relief. "Good. I hope you learn something from detention. I hope to never have to sign you up or see you here for the rest of the semester. I will say it's nice seeing you," Spike (Discord) leaves the detention center.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash leave the detention center. As they leave, they see Spike talking with Discord. Discord snaps his claw teleporting Spike home to the Crystal Empire. Twilight now knows that Spike doesn't intend on coming back to the Castle as a teacher. Twilight and Rainbow Dash takes flight and flies to Sugarcube Corner to meet up with Pinkie Pie. To inform her what they learned in detention.

That went rather well. I thought that Twilight would do something incredibly stupid. Rainbow Dash needs to listen a little bit more to the words that come out of Spike’s (clone) mouth. He never did say that Rainbow Did it. If you start jumping to conclusions, you will just dig your very own grave. One that you cannot climb up from, unless if you find a way to redeem yourself. But many don’t have the mind for it.
Well at least both Rainbow & Twilight were willing to listen during detention, now that's a step in the right direction for them.

Discord is the original posing as Spike. The clone is posing as Discord. That's why I have it parenthesized on who is what in Equestria.
10823426
Yep
Nice. This was a big lesson and i hope they get better.
10823435
Hopefully

Maybe you could shorten it and refer to him as Spike C. (you could do the same with the Discord Clone) Not to sound rude, but just seeing the word clone in parenthesis next to Spike's name looks weird. Maybe refer to him as Spike (Clone) when he first speaks/appears in a chapter then change it to Spike C for the rest.
10823525
Discord is the original. He's not the clone. He's disguised as Spike. The clone is taking Discord's place.
I was somewhat enjoying this fic but now I feel you are being too hard on Twilight and the gang. Sure she shouldn't have interrupted class but I feel detention is too harsh, even though it was a warning and it was a repeated offense. Instead there should have just been the talk after class and spike (discord) give her the same talk after. Another thing that bothers me is I just don't buy Twilight and a lesser extent Rainbow wasting that much class time. There should have been plenty of time despite those. It may seem like a minor thing, but your scale of time for the classes and this detention is really poor. I don't know if they left right after spike (Discord) did or they stayed to finish the time of it. A simple fix is adding a sentence explaining how much time has passed and even what the characters did during it. Again a minor nitpick, but it confuses me a bit.
10823556
Fair enough.
10823607
I skip the fairy tail chapters since those don't interest me. I am more interested in Twilight and the gang trying to make up for their actions. Though I don't really remember much from the previous chapters. Why do you ask?
10823610
Just asking. I've been on this site for a long time and people skipped chapters and don't understand much of the story. I do read the comments of the stories I read.
10823611
Oh ok I was worried I missed an important detail and that the events involving Starlight were different than in canon. I will keep reading though I feel Starlight and the rest here are just being too hard on Twilight and the gang. I understand tough love, but it doesn't seem to be coming from the best place.
I just realize the detention isn't a warning. Sure it's a lesser offense but that's not a warning. It seems like a way to downplay it and make them come across as giving them a slap on the wrist. Which is fine but don't lie and call it what it's not.
Don't talk out of turn fair enough. Don't question it? I hope they only mean don't disrupt class doing it, because if not sorry but I object. I don't care how long they planned it and while I find it a decent lesson plan so far it should be questioned. If no ones questions it how do we know whether or not it actually works. Everything should be questioned no matter what.
Everything else though is fine. I do like how the others are not having trouble or much trouble at any rate. I will keep reading and hopefully there aren't any more snags for Twilight and the gang. I think I am done ranting and leaving comments for now. Sorry if it bothers you I tend to dwell on things a bit.
10823641
You have a right to state your reason. It doesn't bother me. I'm going to keep writing in the direction as I planned since I'm having fun with it.
All I can say is I hope you enjoy the content of the story I'm writing
I do hope to main six will start bettering themselves as students. Otherwise the royal sisters will be force to come & give them another SEVERE REPRIMAND.
10823827
We will see
10823835
OK.
Very great. It feels like you put alot of heart into this, especially the school.
10823972
Thank you, man. Glad you're enjoying the story
10823827
Well, I am so sorry to tell you this, but Twilight have gone down the path of no return and became Midnight Sparkle, a purple demonic psychopath hellbent on taking Spike back by any means necessarily. She even nearly killed his new friends and family in her relentless pursuit and joined the Dark Guild. And Rarity have gone insane over Spike and tried to take his EQG counterpart and have hurt Chrysalis' son and had to be taken into the Canterlot Ward Asylum, and Midnight have taken advantage of her dilemma and possessed her and taken over her mind! If you read the later and recent chapters, then you will know what I am talking about.
well this has changed the mood. I also now know what this supposed 'one sided relationship' is
