Hello! I'm just here to mainly read stories and favorite them, but occasionally I do write.

[AU][NOT Anthro]

It was just the other day Twilight had gotten her cutie mark and been taken under Princess Celestia's wing as her personal protégé. It was supposed to be the start of her learning about magic, about the history of Equestria, to do Celestia and her homeland proud.

Be careful what you hope for.

8/22/14 Edit: This story is officially going on indefinite hiatus. I might return to it one day, but that is not the plan at the moment. I'm sorry to all those who liked this story.

I know I said I wouldn't do a story using any canon characters, but after a dream..I couldn't help myself. And despite the cover image, this is not an anthro-pony story. They are regular ponies, just as they appear in the show. This is going to be my first attempt at writing an sort-of action series. Depends on the feedback, so comments are encouraged!

This is loosely based off The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter.

Before reading: It's not really a Slice of Life if it's an Alternate Universe. :/

I think Slice of Life stories can occur in an Alternate Universe. And I categorized this as SOL due to this story just being Twilight adjusting to her life, and it doesn't have any Adventure-esque plot in it yet. So really, it is kind of one. However, if multiple people say the same thing, I would be more than happy to take the Slice of Life tag off.

After reading:

Elements of Harmony School for Spies

^--- I find this name highly amusing.

Final verdict: This story has potential, but I recommend getting a prereader to help you out and to eventually make the story better overall. The chapter length is fine, but I would recommend typing around, if you can, 3,000-4,000 words per chapter. At least, that's the length I type on average.

2108018

Ha xD My friend actually chose that name.

And I'll talk to my proofreader about everything, and I'll try my best to make the chapters longer, though that isn't exactly an guarantee. I thank you so much for reading!

This is really intraginng and entertaining, please update as quickly as possible:twilightsmile:
The concept is amazing and the intro really draws you in, but one question, are you going include the other main six, and if so, how? Love the story and is looking forward to reading more

2108870

Oh my..well thank you!

And yes, I do plan to include the other girls, if you read closely in the opening one of them was already sorta-introduced...And you'll see how in later chapters :twilightsheepish: I'll try and update as often as possible! Thank you so much for reading.

Siren Song nodded in approval, and gestured Twilight to go ahead and stand. “These girls are going to show you around. Freshman and sophomore dorms are on the second floor, juniors and seniors on the second floor. Do <i>not</i> go up to the third floor. It is off-limits to freshmen. Do you understand?”

Everyone lives on the second floor then? And wrong brackets.

Otherwise, very nice. More!

2113249

Aw shoot! I use those brackets when I'm writing so I know where to put emphasis. I thought I replaced all of them! AUGH. >:U My proofreader needs to catch stuff like that.

Fixing it now. Thank you so much for catching my mistakes!

Just realized I didn't have the story breaks in there. Damnit. I'll try and be better about that. It should be better to read now.

“Sophomores are on the left of the stairs, freshmen are on the right. It’s the same upstairs, with juniors on the left and seniors on the right.” Rarity explained as they neared their rooms. “Even though colts also attend here, we do <i>not</i> share rooms! That would just be improper! And we are discouraged from seeking to try and go out with one of them. It’s not against the rules, per se…”

Brackets are wrong.

“I could tell you just how this crystal works, but then I’d have to kill you.”

It doesn't matter how many times I hear that joke, it'll still make me laugh.

~~~~~(((0)))~~~~~

One question: How many OCs are going to be in this? Cause I've got a couple teacher-aged OCs that fall under the Spy category if you need any help. Also, if you want me to make a simple picture of an OC, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

2118146

Ah...Thank you. I really hate BBCode. I'd rather use html, I'm more familiar with it. I'll fix it now. As for OCs, I suppose (for this first part), it will just be teachers that will be OCs, and others won't be important, more cameos than anything. I'd love to see yours, send me a PM, alright? :twilightsmile:

Sorry guys for the super long wait! I've been busy with other stuff, like College, and Life...and Minecraft.

Minecraft

Minecraft

I understand completely brotha!

2291222

The Minecraft Temptress hath held me prisoner!

Hmm ... I love this story, but I feel like the knowledge and status that Twilight held as Princess Celestia's student is what is great about her, and now that's gone.

2291239 Hold Brother of Minecraftia! I come to thee rescue! *Puts on diamond helmet and grabs iron sword*

2291272

As not to spoil future chapter updates, the fact that she is Celestia's student will be brought up again and be crucial not only to this story, but to other installments (If I get that far). But it will come into play, I promise :twilightsmile: These are just the first four chapters, after all.

2291278

Tis too late! There is no hope for anyone! :raritydespair:

She is right, it doesn't make sense. Go investigate Twi!

filly&rsquo;s

uhhh... What?

EDIT: I can't wait til P&E!

3147171

Damn, I thought I got all those. For whatever reason all my quotations turned into that.
Also this is the end of the day, I planned on focusing on important-at-the-moment classes, so while she takes them, not all of her classes are important right now.

But I'm glad you still read this! <3

RD needs some nunchucks if she gonna be a spy. All her appendages must make fir killer combos.

Actually, Fluttershy's talent with critters can be one of the most useful skills there is.

After all, if you're discussing top secret information, you're not going to stop just because there's a bird pecking at the ground or if there's a fly on the wall would you?

I've got nothing for the other stuff though.

This isn't being continued? :applecry: :raritycry:

4891608

Mm. I'm not sure.

But suppose for now I'll put it on indefinite hiatus. I might return to it one day.

This can't be all there has to be more. There has to!
