> Teachers On Vacation
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

For about two years, Twilight and her friends became teachers in the School Of Friendship. They always show their students the rights about friendship while keeping their business fresh as a apple. However when it comes to their new jobs, ponies like Rainbow Dash get burned out doing the same thing everyday, and she’s the only one who thinks about this problem.

Princess Twilight is in her office doing her daily work while Spike sorts out the pictures he took from the students.

“Hey Twilight.” Spike said as Twilight lifted her head up to the dragon’s attention. “Do you think these photos I took throughout the last month look the same? I mean we go on field trips but not every month.” 

Twilight always keeps field trips to a minimal due to the possibility of danger like the incident Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s trip caused. It’s her way to keep her school stable for every species in Equestria.

“Spike, we want to make sure everypony gets some kind of attention. With more volunteers we need to show how much we respect them.” She replied with a happy smile.

“That’s not what I mean. It’s the same thing every time. Even these photos have the students doing the same activities as before.” Spike showed her two photos of the students building a birdhouse in Fluttershy’s class. “Even Fluttershy admitted that the two students didn’t need a photo for themselves.”

Twilight thinked otherwise about the idea of the pictures Spike took. “I guess you're right. I mean me and Fluttershy did decide to pick the pictures once and she’s right.”

“Of course she is. I’m starting to feel bored from taking the same photos again and again!” Spike took a deep breath to calm himself down. “My point is, can we try to do something different like the field trips I mentioned earlier?”

Twilight placed her hooves up against her face. “Spike remember what Applejack and Rainbow Dash did? Our students almost got seriously hurt. Yes it was our one and only field trip, but I never had plans on that happening.”

“You know even if that field trip was a disaster, Rainbow Dash and Applejack took care of everything.”

“Yeah when they were fighting for teacher of the month!”

Spike realized that and didn’t thought about it. “Oh…so what are we supposed to do?”

Twilight didn’t answer Spike’s suggestion, as much as she wants to make everyone in her school happy, she needs some limitation.

Then her friends, (not to mention teachers), came in her office with Rainbow Dash covered in frosting. “Rainbow Dash, why do you have frosting all over you?” Twilight asked.

“Pinkie offered me to help with cupcakes and then I made an explosion with the frosting.” Rainbow moaned in stress.

“Then why did you accept?” Spike added.

“Because I’m getting sick of doing the same thing while you take the same pictures! They already know the history of the Wonderbolts and I’m running out of ideas.”
She then collapsed on the floor after what she did in Pinkie’s cooking class.

“Rainbow, can you at least accept the fact your students are enjoying themselves?” Twilight retorted.

“Actually Twilight.” Starlight chimed in. “Her students are finding themselves bored in class.” Then Rarity chimed in on the conversation.

“She’s right darling, I was about to take fashion to the next level but my students already got their assignments right, picture perfect that they already know how to handle new levels.” She used her unicorn magic to lift her assignment sheets with almost all of them having A’s.

“Really?” Twilight said with her eyes wide open.

“Yes.” Applejack chimed in as well. “All of our classes are having the same problem.”

“At this point, I just want to take a vacation.” Rainbow spoked.

With every teacher of the School Of Friendship in the Princess’s office, they all have the same mindset of giving their jobs a rest. Twilight on the other hand refuses to cancel her school during non holiday vacations. She finally understands that her friends were right this whole time, but her students should never skip school.

“I would try and have the Cutie Mark Crusaders takeover, but seven teaching jobs is way too difficult for tutors.” She then leaves her desk to check more of Spike’s pictures. “And in order to make our students occupied, they need to learn more in their classes.”

“So why can’t we get subs or something?” Starlight suggested.

“That’s a good idea.” Spike commented. “But what subs should we get?”

Everypony thinked about the idea of subs they can ask to takeover for their jobs. Rainbow has the idea of the Wonderbolts to help while Applejack wants her city folk  from Appleloosa but at the same time, they’re busy with their lives. It’s a predicament that everypony is unavailable for the next week but then Pinkie Pie got an idea.

“Oh! oh! I got something amazing!” She jumped. “How about we get our mothers to take over during our vacation?”

“Our moms?” Everyone said in shock.

“No way, I don’t want my mom to embarrass me!” Rainbow retorted in anger.

“But she realizes the mistakes she and her husband did when they met you after all that time.” Pinkie replied.

“Forget it! I’m not allowing her to takeover!”

“Actually…” Twilight interrupted. “Pinkie is right.”

“WHAT!!!” Rainbow shouted.

“Our parents are mostly relatable of our teaching and I’m sure our fathers will take care of themselves.”

“But Twilight.”

“Rainbow Dash,” She interrupted again. “I’ll talk to her and she’ll do her job without humiliating you.”

“Alright…I’m definitely going to be a egghead once this is over.” She thought.

“After school today, I’m going to have Stellar Flare to take over my job since she always have a plan.” Starlight said.

“And I’ll get my mother to show my students new ingredients for my cooking class. I’m actually excited to see more of my students with Pear Butter.” Applejack thrilled.

Everypony and mostly Rainbow Dash finally found their solution to take their vacations by having their mothers to be teachers for the next week. Luckily after today, they went to their parents to discuss their offer, and they accepted it. While they didn’t make an announcement, Spike will take care of it once they leave for vacation. The next school week will be a week the students of Friendship will never forget.
> Day Of Substitute
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earlier in the morning, Twilight and her friends immediately packed their things and headed to the Crystal Empire. Spike sent mail to all of the students mailboxes to let everyone know the teachers of the school are on vacation. However he didn’t mention who would take their jobs for the week of learning since it’s a surprise.

Star Tracker, Sandbar and Silverstream head their way to the School Of Friendship with Tracker wondering about Twilight’s vacation.

“Is it just me or is the School Of Friendship supposed to be shut down for this week?” He asked.

“You could be right, but Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are staying. But even they can’t handle the school by themselves.” Sandbar replied with the mail he’s reading in his hoof.

“Yes, trust me there has to be somepony to take over their teaching jobs.” Silverstream commented while flying.

They enter the front door with a crowd of ponies in the hallway. The final sentence in their mails stated they need to wait in the main hallway so Spike can make the announcement.

After everyone is on time, Spike enters the center and silences the students. “I know this is the first time Twilight and her friends are taking a vacation during a school week but that doesn’t mean our school is canceled for this week.” He explained.

“I’m sorry, but this is still awkward especially the seven who are running the School Of Friendship left.” November Rain said while he looks at the other students.

“Not to mention bizarre, since it was a last minute decision.” Smolder added.

“Yeah last minute decisions come out of nowhere.” Spike retorted as he went back to his announcement. “Anyway the others who are taking over as substitutes also have other plans for this week like possible field trips.”

Everypony are either surprise or really shocked about the idea of field trips. “You mean? “More than one field trip?” Yona asked.

“Like I said, it’s possible.” Spike answered. He went to Twilight’s office where the sub teachers are staying and gave them the time to come out. Spike came back with the mothers right behind him mostly excited for today.

“I can’t believe we’re going to be teachers!” Windy cheered which supposes everyone in the hallway.

“Would you mind keeping your volume down! This isn’t preschool teaching.” Cloudy retorted in annoyance.

“Now come on ladies, this is our time to show our daughters that we can take care of their jobs.” Stellar Flare smirking in style.

“She’s right and besides I bet everypony will love the field trips we got planned.” Pear Butter added. Everypony lines up in front of the students as Spike introduces them.

“These seven substitutes will be our teachers during Twilight’s Vacation. This is Cookie Crumbles, the mother of the beautiful Rarity.”

“Oh so you do want Rarity after all?” Cookie giggled while her friends does.

This made Spike blushed in embarrassment. “No need for that!” He retorted which causes the students to laugh. “<Sigh> Anyway this is Mrs. Shy.” He gives her a chance to say something but just like Fluttershy, her mother is just as shy as her.

“......Um…...I don’t have any plans for a field about animals. And I might do something different in my daughter’s class.” She walk back in embarrassment which kind of disappoint the students.

“Well she’s really unprepared.” Ocellus frowned.

“Anyway this is Stellar Flare. She’s the mother of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. She will be our counselor.”

Stellar Flare confidently step in the center to show off her plans. “And I have the best plans for all of you. I always come up with the best activities.”

“Like making more models of Equestria?” Yona asked.

“No I never went to all the places in Equestria.” She retorted. “But it will be better.”

Stellar went back to her place after her speech as Spike continues. “Next this is Pear Butter who you might have seen when she reunited with her daughter Applejack several months ago.” Pear Butter rubbed Spike’s head after that sweet comment he made and begins her speech.

“And I got a lot plan of when it comes to my daughter’s class. I hope you’re all hungry soon.” She giggled with her pure mood of expectations.

Spike, who’s happy from the mini reward he got from Pear went to the next sub. “This is Cloudy Quartz the mother of Pinkie Pie and…is the opposite of her daughter.” This made Cloudy glare at him in offense.

“If I’m not mistaken, I sometimes meet my daughter from time to time and I often help her with her parties.”

“Sorry I just don’t know everything about my friends parents.”

“Then please know everything before announcements! It’s not that much to ask.” Cloudy went away in disguise as Spike introduces Dash’s mom.

“This is Windy Whistles, the mother of Rainbow Dash.” He took steps back because he knew what she’s going to do after Rainbow Dash told everything about her.

Windy Whistles is shaking in happiness since she’s finally getting the chance to make her speech to everypony. Last night she and her husband were setting up Windy’s performance to show she is just as awesome as her daughter is.

“I just wanted to say I HOPE EVERYPONY SHOW YOUR SUPPORTMENT BECAUSE THAT'S MY LESSON OF TODAY!!!” She jumped to fly all over the hallway surprising her students however it only made them uncomfortable like the Wonderbolts did. She still hasn’t got over the fact that Rainbow is sick of the supportment completely. She notices that everypony is slightly freaking out from her high adrenaline.

She gets back to the center and lowered her head in shame. “I’ll just go to Rainbow’s classroom.” She finished as she made her way.

“Am I the only one who feels bad for Rainbow Dash?” Star Tracker whispered.

“Not really.” Sandbar whispered back.

“And the final substitute is Twilight’s mother who will be the principal, Twilight Velvet.” Spike finished as he leaves since he’s finally down with the introductions.

Velvet walks up to the center as her taking her Princess’s place makes her first announcement. “I just wanted to thank everyone for making my daughter’s school a great success. I know I never had the experiences of being a princess but I always wanted to be a principal. I’ll promise that every student will have the best week in a long time.”

Then Pear and Cookie who are mostly Velvet’s friends chimed in. “And keep this in mind, this is just the beginning of our new schedule.” Cookie said.

“And we’re here to show you how much we care about our daughters and how we are related to them.” Pear added with a confident look on her face.

Surprising, all the students cheered after those quotes they said. They headed to their first class expect Star Tracker, Sandbar and Silverstream.

“Wow I’m actually surprised that went really well.” Cookie Crumbles smiled.

“But I still think we should cheer up Windy. And hope she succeeds in her lessons for her students.” Stellar added.

“Don’t worry, like you said Cookie, this is just the beginning, give it some time.” Velvet replied.

Tracker, Sandbar and Silverstream being one of Twilight’s best students decide to talk to the parents. “Excuse me?” Silverstream asked which got all the teacher’s attention. “I know this is kind of rude but, what kind of field trips do you have plan?”

“Because we don’t usually get a lot of field trips from Twilight.” Sandbar added.

“Oh believe us, there will be surprises. Spike will take the best photos this week.” Velvet happily cheered.

“Okay I’m convinced that every mother who’s taking care of our teacher’s work are trying way too hard to make us happy?” Sandbar looking at Silverstream awkwardly.

“Who knows? Maybe they know something we don’t.” Silverstream responded back.

Then Twilight Velvet saw Star Tracker behind them. It’s been a long time since she last saw him from the cruise vacation and Twilight told everything that happened.

“Star Tracker!” Velvet walking up to Tracker.

“Greetings Principal Velvet.” Tracker trying to make a good impression for his second encounter with Twilight’s mom but Velvet became confused. “It was my way of showing respect to you being our principal.”

“You know I still remember you and I don’t call you Twilight's crazy fanboy alright?” She said messing with him while Star Tracker blushed in embarrassment after hearing that.

“Sorry I think I should get to class now.”

“Hey Twilight, who is this student?” Mrs. Shy asked from behind.

“This is Star Tracker, I met him when he won the raffle from the cruise I went to. Then he became a student in this school.”

“May I ask why because his presence creeps me out.” Cloudy retorted.

“You might not believe this but…” She lidded eyes towards Tracker. “He got four kisses from my daughter.”

Star Tracker stood in shock while the teachers begin to make cute giggles. “Aww he’s the luckiest pony in Equestria.” Cookie commented.

“If he ever goes out with Twilight, he would probably go on a honeymoon giving her perfume to make her smell gorgeous.” Stellar smirked as she wrap her hoof around Star Tracker who’s still blushing hard.

“Just look at him, turning into a fresh tomato, how adorable. Maybe I should make him a blueberry cake so he might get another kiss from her.” Pear Butter giving Tracker her honest eyes.

Sandbar and Silverstream who have been seeing their best friend in this situation for so many times decide to help him. “Well we shouldn’t be late now, let’s go Tracker.” Silverstream grab Tracker’s hoof while Sandbar covers him next.

“Hey, instead of talking about his experiences with your daughter, why don’t you talk to your friends about her dragon Spike?” Sandbar offered.

“You know what, your right. Besides I miss that little dragon and I want my friends to show him respect.” Velvet replied. “Anyway we all should get to our classrooms now.”

The principal and teachers leave the hallway as they begin with their first class of the week. Meanwhile Tracker and his friends make their way to Windy’s class.

“Your feeling alright Tracker?” Sandbar asking a really annoyed and embarrassed Star Tracker.

“Not even close, why isn’t this a compliment by now?” He asked.

“Maybe because you always mess up in a adorable fashion?” Silverstream answered which made Tracker glare at her. “I’m just saying.

Star Tracker took a deep breath as he tries to move on today even this is just day one of their new teachers taking over as substitutes. But at the same time they’re entering the best sides of their teacher’s lessons of friendship.
> Windy’s Lessons Of Supportment
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

With all the students in Windy’s classroom, which is actually Rainbow Dash’s, is sitting behind their desks, because Windy is on the ground in disappointment. After that humiliating impression she did in her speech in front of the students, she is the least of what they like as their substitute so far.

“When am I going to show anyone the meaning of friendship like my daughter does?” She thought to herself. Her depression was almost like her daughter lashing out at her after the times she embarrassed her in Cloudsdale and now she understands what she means.

“Umm...are you going to teach us Windy?” November Rain asked, which got Windy’s attention as she gets on her hooves.

“Well the thing is, I’m not really an athletic like my daughter is, and I don’t win a lot of rewards.” With every student sitting down waiting for their over excited, but down teacher to begin her lessons, Windy tries to tell her students about a story between her and her family.

“When me and my husband found out that Rainbow Dash had become a Wonderbolt, we learned that she hates our supportment for every little thing she does.” When she got to the School Of Friendship she brought pictures of her and Rainbow Dash during her filly years. One has her daughter when she was born in the hospital, another has her winning her first trophy in the colt flying contest and the last is when Scootaloo took a picture for a family photo when she reunited with her daughter.

“Even since she was born, we want to show her respect, no matter what she accomplished. We just don’t want her to feel worse whenever she lost to something.”

Then Smolder raised her hand to which Windy allows her to speak. “Rainbow Dash told us that supportment is only allowed when she actually deserves it like when she was in the academy in Cloudsdale to become a Wonderbolt.”

“Yeah, I mean do you think the supportment is supposed to be in really important chances your daughter gets?” Silverstream added.

Windy Whistle never thought of the means of supportment in important times, but at the same time she cares about her daughter. When she finally got found out where she’s been, she also felt relief to meet her daughter after all this time to the point her feelings of support never went away.

“Students, you have no idea how I felt when Rainbow Dash became a Wonderbolt. It was her dream and the supportment we gave to her was our true support.”

“Wait,  your telling us that you wanted to show how much you care about her when she became a Wonderbolt?” Star Tracker asked.

“Of course.” Windy answered. She took out the accomplishments her daughter did when she was in filly school. She won five ribbons in a highly difficult obstacle course, four ribbons of her flying lessons and a trophy for winning a huge and long racing contest. “I mean if your a father or mother of Rainbow Dash, you might want to give her support so she will never feel down. That’s how much I care about her.”

All the students went into silence after hearing Windy’s history with Rainbow Dash. At first they see her as a die hard supporter of making everyone in this school uncomfortable, but now they see her not only a understandable mother of Rainbow, but also one of the prime experts of supportment.

Then Scootaloo, one of the tutors of this school came in the classroom to see what Rainbow Dash’s mom is up to. “Excuse me Windy.” She asked as she walk up to her.

“Well if it’s Rainbow’s number one fan.” Windy replied nicely.

“Twilight and…, I mean her mom told me that you were feeling disappointed, so I decided to help you if you need any.”

“It’s okay because I got over it already. I just told every student in class about my life when Rainbow was still with me.”

Scootaloo became happy after hearing the recent news of Windy. “Oh that’s good, is there anything else you need, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle allowed me to go on break until next class.”

“Well, I still need to teach these students something Rainbow Dash does, but I don’t think anyone will find me popular, due to my impression.”

However, after hearing that amazing history, all the students clap their hooves for a standing ovation which causes Windy’s eyes to wide open. As a matter of fact they even cheered for her.

“Are...you...students giving me applause?” She reacted.

“Of course.” November Rain commented. “If you ever had the chance to discuss your feelings about your daughter to anyone, maybe they will see you as a supportive mother.”

“Well not everypony, but the ones who see something in you.” Sandbar added.

“Can you teach us about supportment?” Ocellus added.

“Supportment?” Windy said.

This made Scootaloo squeal with her hooves shaking in happiness. “Yeah do that! This will make Rainbow Dash more happy about this and she might see the supportment you’re doing.”

This made Windy Whistle smile in tears. For the first time, she got attention from ponies who aren’t freaked out from her. In fact they see her as a role model of Rainbow Dash when it comes to the meaning of support.

She lifted herself off the ground by using her wings and gives out her attention. “So does anyone want to come up and tell everyone about supportment? Everyone is welcome!” She cheered.

Almost half of the students in the classroom raise their hooves to have a chance to tell their supportment towards other. Windy Whistle felt more proud then she was in herself, now she’s running a class she knows how to show a lesson of friendship and that’s supportment.
> Cafeteria Discussion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the new classes the students took from their new substitute teachers, it’s lunch time. While Spike is doing some of the cooking, Pear Butter and Cloudy Quartz decided to help during their spare time in classes. While Cloudy makes the food just like  the way for her family, Pear made apple pies for dessert to show her respect to the School Of Friendship.

“Isn’t this amazing?” Pear Butter asked as she placed the pieces of apple pie on the table by the students. “I’m giving more ponies the foods and desserts I made for the Apple Family. You have no idea what my friends are going to feel about this.”

“I guess you're right. You only met your long time friends and hang out with Applebloom in some occasions.” Spike replied as he place flower sandwiches on the table. “Do you think you should bring your friends during your time here?”

“Not really, I need to put my focus on my class. I told Twilight I might take my students to a field trip and I want it to be memorable.”

“Suit yourself, what about you Cloudy?” Spike asked, turning his attention to Pinkie’s mother. However she isn’t in the mood to discuss her plans as she makes the food.

“What's the matter Cloudy?” Pear wondered. Cloudy still refuses to speak, not even one word. Both Pear and Spike start to feel concerned in Pinkie’s mother’s situation. Her last three classes before lunch time was the weakest when it comes to showing friendship to her students.

“Maybe you should talk to her during your lunch break.” Spike whispered.

Pear Butter agrees with him since Applejack told her she tried to help Cloudy’s family during Hearths Warming. If her daughter can help Pinkie’s family, she can help Cloudy.







While all the students eat their food for this period, the teachers and the principal are eating in their own separate room which is hallways from the cafeteria. Twilight Velvet made purple cupcakes to celebrate their first day to help out their daughters.

“So, you’re meaning to tell me the students in your class called you a role model of supportment?” Velvet asked to Rainbow’s mother.

“Yes. Even though I have zero plans when it comes to field trips, I can be their sub so they will never give up. Supportment for the win!” Windy flow herself off her chair as she cheered in her accomplishment.

“Don’t you think Rainbow is going to be embarrassed when she finds out about this?” Mrs. Shy chimed in as she put her flower sandwich down.

“Mrs. Shy, can you please turn down the negativity already?” Cookie retorted. “I’m sure she will forgive her for taking over.”

“Yeah I mean it’s not like we’re ruining this school, we’re supposed to fill in for our daughters students.” Stellar added.

“And not only that...we’re doing everything we can to impress the students since they’ve met us before.” Pear Butter added.

Mrs. Shy decided to continue her lunch as she tries to keep an open mind for her class at the end of the schedule. Since she doesn’t usually take care of animals like her daughter, she has to find a way to teach her students about friendship.

“Anyway, Cloudy do you have anything in store in your classroom?” Velvet asked. Cloudy didn’t make a response due to her depression in her classes.

“I don’t think she wants to talk right now. Believe me Pinkie’s family isn’t like what Pinkie Pie is, even if that’s also something I still don’t understand.” Pear reminded. This made Cloudy glared at her in frustration.

“I think I’m going to eat in my classroom. I really need some time alone!” Cloudy took her food and make her way to her daughter’s classroom. Applebloom, one of the tutors who’s about to enter the teacher’s room backed off from Cloudy’s frustration.

“Umm Pinkie’s mom, do you need any help?” She asked. Cloudy stopped in place, she knew anypony is willing to help her in any situation in this school when it comes to friendship.

“I do, but I still need time alone just for today. Pinkie should’ve given me ideas for her class. This is going to be very difficult for me teach my students.” Without even looking at Applebloom she continue to walk to her classroom with her lunch. Applebloom wanted to help ponies even if she isn’t related to Pinkie’s family. It also requires a lot of time to think about inspired friendship lessons without Pinkie Pie.

She enters the room as she’s thrilled to hangout with her mother after that amazing day she had with her in the past. “Mom!” She cheered.

“Applebloom!” Pear Butter gets off her seat as she and her younger daughter for a hug. “I always knew you would be staying around during Twilight’s vacation.”

“I’m still new to this and I want to me and my friends to be the best tutors in this school.”

“That’s my little country girl.” Pear hugs her a little tighter thrilled to see her daughter once more.

All of the other teachers adore Pear’s moment with Applebloom when Twilight Velvet walks up behind Pear. “Hey Pear Butter, if you have an idea that involves field trips you should bring Applebloom with.”

“That’s a good idea.” Applebloom breaking the hug from Pear. “How about Appleloosa? We could have a rodeo there.”

“I’ll think about it, but at the same time, I should take to my friends in Appleloosa for any case of rodeos for our students.” Pear reminded.

“Okay, I’ll go talk to my friends about the possibility.” Applebloom left the room, hopping in joy while she goes back to her classroom. Pear Butter went back to her seat as she gets back to her lunch while Stellar discuss her plans in the school.

“As for me, if anypony get themselves into a difficult stress on friendship I’m always here to make a plan.” Flare took out her list of ideas when it comes to the students in their classes. “I hope any of you find one of your students really, let’s just say...depressed.” She gave a smirk with her eyebrow rising.

“Well…..” Cookie spoked. “There’s one pony that really needs some help today and that’s Star Tracker.”

“Your right, I saw him with a bag around his head during lunchtime when he was 
getting his lunch.” Pear Butter mentioned.

“Maybe it’s because I allowed him to discuss about his supportment.” Windy added. “His supportment was about Twilight Sparkle and how he became a desperate fan of her. And then all the students mock him for getting four kisses from her and I was being nice to never mock him.”

“Well it’s good because we messed with him earlier and we regretted it when we started our first class.” Velvet added. All the teachers looked at each other involving their thoughts about Twilight’s biggest fan.

“Do you think he needs help?” Stellar asked.

“I guess. We should get him after school is over so we can have a conversation with him. Maybe during our first field trip we can show him something about relationships.” Velvet said.

“Good idea, he’s in my final class so I can remind him on going to Stellar’s office.” Mrs. Shy added.

They end their conversation about their plans for classes and field trips as they continue to finish their lunch. As for Mrs Shy, she has a different talent unlike her daughter. Her class with her students will be a hobby she hopes will happen again in the future.
> Mrs. Shy’s Personal Flowers
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the students entered Mrs. Shy’s classroom. Mrs. Shy has pots with a variety of flowers on her desk and tables. Despite her students expecting lessons involving animals from Fluttershy, her mother has something different for this week.

“Yona can’t believe there’s flowers instead of animals.” Yona replied as she enters the classroom. 

“So do I” Ocellus added.

“Maybe Fluttershy’s mother is using flowers for Fluttershy’s meadow.” Sandbar commented.

“If that was the case then we would see pots of flowers there, which we didn’t.” Smolder said.

Star Tracker who’s still wearing a bag around his head, sits by Sandbar as all the students took their seats. For a couple of minutes, Fluttershy’s mother enters her classroom and notice Star Tracker wearing his bag.

“Star Tracker can you please take your bag off? You’ve been wearing it all day.” She asked nicely.

“Is it really a big deal? This is my last class of the day.” He replied.

“Tracker, your going to be in Flare’s office after this class. It’s a intervention.”

As much as Star Tracker refuses to expose himself, he never understood why he’s going to an intervention but he still has to follow Mrs. Shy’s directions. He slowly took off his bag and luckily no one is messing with him during class. Mrs Shy takes the bag from Tracker and places it on her desk as she begins her class.

“I know all of you expect me to show you something about animals like my daughter has been doing, however I plant flowers instead.” Mrs. Shy then takes one of her flower pots and shows them to her students. It’s a daffodil completely fresh.

“Now I understand planting flowers take a while so for this one and only assignment for this week, you can pick which plant you want to make. I have all the instructions if you need some help.”

Most of the students felt off with the idea of making plants while others liked the idea so they can give their parents an addition to their garden.

Smolder raised her hand up since she’s one of the students felt off with the new assignment. “Do you think we should do something else like what Fluttershy does because from where I live, dragons don’t plant flowers.”

“Oh well ummm….” Mrs. Shy didn’t think that the dragon tribe was different then ponies but it wasn’t until Silverstream raised her hand.

“Wait a second!” She shouted. “If Smolder finishes her project can I PLEASE take it home with me?”

“Nevermind, I guess even dragons like myself need to learn something from other tribes even if we can’t keep something we never done before.” Smolder rolled her eyes.

“So much for that.” Sandbar commented.

“Alright then, everyone line up to get your instructions.” Mrs. Shy places the pile of sheets on her desk while her students make a line. They take their time to find which plant project they wanted to do and surprisingly, every single creature in the class found the plant they want to feed and study. They pick Tulips, Irises, and Common daisies.

Mrs. Shy’s hopes never disappoint her now that her assignment is becoming more of a future opportunity for her to give inspiration for future students if she ever gets the chance to take over her daughter’s class.







For the next ten minutes, all the students got their instructions with dirt in bags while they have empty pots and seeds representing different flowers. Sunflowers, azaleas, gerberas, amount another plants will become living but safe things by the time their real teachers return from their vacation.

Mrs. Shy is impressed that everyone is getting set up for their first step of making plants. “I wanted to thank everypony...and creature for picking my instructions on what plant you want to do. It really means something since I never saw anything like this ever happens to me.” She said with her sweet tone.

“You bet, we always do the same for your daughter.” Silverstream commented.

Mrs. Shy was more kind than Fluttershy when I comes to her encounters with other ponies. She spent most of her life taking care of Zephyr Breeze (even if she hopes she wasn’t right now), doing her full time job just like her husband, and also stays in Cloudsdale. But at the same time she has a personal secret involving her interested into flowers.

“You don’t understand.” She replied after what Silverstream said. “In my whole life, I never did something like this. I didn’t even do an volunteer donation.”

Then Sandbar raised his hand. “There’s something I’m meaning to tell you. If your daughter’s hobby is about taking care of animals, what makes plants important to you?”

“That’s a really nice question.” Ocellus added.

Mrs. Shy found Sandbar’s question more unexpected than she thought. Even her friends at her daytime job never told her about her hobby. She went to her bag of supplies for her one week job of this occasion and takes out her photo of her in front of so many kinds of flowers during her trip to an flower sanctuary.

“When I have the time for me and my husband to go out in Equestria, we go to eat at restaurants and other activities. One of my activities is us going to several flower sanctuaries to see so many plants.”

November Rain raised his hoof up to ask a question. “Why do you go to different sanctuaries instead of one?”

“Because I want to study plants I haven’t seen before. The more you find, the more plants you make.”

Then Smolder raised her hand. “Is that why there’s fifteen choices we can do in our assignment?”

“Yes. I wanted some volunteers to show what they got when it comes to taking care of plants. That way not only with my daughter will be impressed but it also makes me proud to see that there’s several ponies having some respect to planting flowers.”

The students can see what Fluttershy’s mother intentions mean. They see her some kind of role model, even she has the same issues her daughter has when it comes to talking to others. With only one week, they will do their best to not only get their plants on time, but make them really beautiful.

“Anyway, I will help out anyone in this class when you get stuck on something. I’ve been doing this since my filly years.” After her final instruction, her students begin their first step on their assignment. For the rest of the class, students put their dirt in their pots while they pot their choice seeds in the dirt. Mrs. Shy poured water in all the pots and as for the next step tomorrow, her teaching skills is just beginning.
> Field Trip Discussion & Star Tracker Intervention
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the first day, it seemed to work out for all the teachers. Expect for Cloudy Quartz who was the only mother who left without any celebration, the rest stayed for there next plans when it comes to tomorrow. The biggest topic they have on the mind is what kind of field trip there going to do. Twilight Velvet agreed there’s going to be two field trips for this week only unless they get another chance to takeover over their daughters teaching jobs.

After Mrs. Shy’s successful class was over, she takes Star Tracker by Stellar Flare’s office which is actually Starlight’s room as he’s waiting on a bench. Today was a stressful and embarrassing time due to his new teachers exposing his moments with Twilight. Several students who aren't his friends made fun of him when they finally found out about his secret. He fears that it could happen when his new teachers make fun of him again for the rest of the week but lucky for him, this intervention shows the normal sides of the substitutes.

It was about five minutes until Windy Whistles came out of Stellar’s room. “Star Tracker.” She said which made Star Tracker jump off the bench in frustration.

“I’M NOT TWILIGHT’S COLTFRIEND!” He shouted which made Windy back up. Once Tracker opened his eyes and turned his attention to Windy, he sighed in shame since Windy was the only teacher who didn’t make fun of him.

“You must have been embarrassed?” She replied in her normal mood.

“Yes.” Tracker retorted quitely. “I’m sorry for lashing, my past is supposed to be compliments by now.” He took a deep breath as he walks with Windy to Stellar’s office but Windy stops him.

“I’m just going to say this right now, Sunburst’s mother is really sassy.”

This made Star Tracker rolled his eyes. “What’s your point?”

“She does all of Sunburst’s plans and goals which...is the same way she’s doing right now.” A silence begin for ten seconds since they know less about Stellar Flare than Twilight does. “Let’s just go, you might understand once you talk to her.”

Windy open the door and allowed Star in. Inside he saw Pear Butter, her hasband Bright Mac, the principal Twilight Velvet and Stellar Flare who’s been talking to them. They all got their attention on Star Tracker once they heard the door being pushed open.

“Oh hey Star Tracker!” Twilight called. “Come here and take a seat.”

Star Tracker took a seat between Velvet and Pear while Bright Mac gives him an serious look which made Tracker uncomfortable.

“Can you tell me why he’s staring at me like that?” He asked.

“We’re talk about that later.” Pear reminded. Windy Whistles left the office as Twilight’s mom begins the intervention.

“Star Tracker, I’m sorry for mostly embarrassing you earlier today, we we’re just messing with you that’s all.” She placed her hoof on his shoulder.

“The thing is, we thought it was adorable, but on the other hand earlier was the first time Twilight told us that information about you.” Pear added.

Star Tracker process the apologies he received from two ponies. Even this is the first time he’s meeting his teacher and headmares mothers, he knows how respectful they are.

“Thanks for the apologies.” But then his ears perked down suddenly. “But on the other hand do any of you know how to run your daughter’s classes? Not what your doing is wrong it’s just this week is going to be different when it comes to our next assignments.”

Just after he finished his opinion, Stellar Flare slam her hooves on her desk which causes the three ponies on the couch jump while Bright Mac backed away until he bumped the wall that’s behind him.

“How dare you question our amateur teaching skills!” She retorted. “You have no idea how this opportunity is going to make us the best mothers ever! I made this plans right after I got the information from Starlight!” Stellar was about to continue her words until Velvet stops her.

“Stellar, you know we shouldn’t be aggressive towards our students.” She added with kindness in her words.

Stellar with her sassy attitude rolled her eyes as she makes a compliment. “Said to the principal who’s really hyper happy in front of a few students.”

Velvet ignored her compliment as she gets back to the intervention. “Anyway, I’m letting you know that we’re just helping so they can have their vacation. Like if you take a job as substitute and you don’t have the same customs as your teachers,”

Then Pear Butter grabbed Tracker’s head, turning his face towards hers with her eyes focusing on his. “You might fail and disappoint the whole family. Reputation is in our hands!” She shouted while also making fun of him.

Bright Mac decides to chim in since he’s on his wife’s side when it comes to her week only job. When Pear let go of Tracker, he faced him with his nose pressing against Star’s nose. “And don’t you EVER tell my wife about her new plans she has tomorrow!”

“Can you please tell me why your so mad at me?” Tracker asked.

After Bright Mac took his step away from him, he explains his reasons towards him. “I’m not mad at all, It’s about what your getting yourself into. You might do so many changes if you wanted to ever to stay with Princess Twilight in your future!”

Then a huge blush came to Star Tracker’s face. “WE’RE NOT GETTING MARRIED!!!” He shouted in frustration with both of his hooves facepalming on his face but it wasn’t long until Pear pulled his hooves off of him nicely.

Bright Mac after being shock from Tracker’s outburst decides to be more reasonable. “Sorry, the idea of you getting kisses from a princess gives me flashbacks before me and Pear became wife and husband.”

This made Tracker’s ears perked up. “Did Pear gave you kisses on the face?” He gave him a serious look which made Bright Mac blush.

“Yes……..”

With an awkward silence in the headmare’s room expect for both Stellar and Twilight giggling while Pear blush as well

“Why are you even here?” Before Bright could even answer Tracker’s next question, Pear Butter decided to help him out despite the embarrassment.

“He’s here because of me, Twilight and Stellar made an agreement that tomorrow you and your students are going on a field trip and Bright Mac also agrees to come with us.”

“What place are we going to?” Star asked until Pear takes a piece of paper of the location there going tomorrow.

“Appleloosa!” Both Pear and Bright shouted in happiness.

“We agreed we should do two field trips for this week with the second one on Friday, we still need plans on that.” Velvet explained.

“I have so much to show everypony about the life of ponyfolk in the town Bright Mac showed me after I was accepted in the Apple Family.” Pear Butter added.

“And I called several ponies, mainly Applejack’s relatives that they’re going to be guest speakers there. It’s going to be a long day for most of us but it will be the best field trip ever!” Bright Mac hugging his wife, happy enough to meet the students in this school, giving them the experience he had when Granny Smith took him to Appleloosa when he was a filly.

“That sounds really fun. I’ve never been to Appleloosa before.” Tracker smiled.

“Then believe me, tomorrow it will be a day will show the great sides of our teachers.” Twilight added.

“And let’s not forget that Spike and Apple Bloom is coming with because Spike is taking pictures while Apple Bloom, being my favorite daughter to come along.” Pear smirked with an lid expression from her face.

“You must have every planned out do you?” Stellar smirked as well.

“You bet, I’m always ahead of schedule.” She smiled again. “And you think your the only pony in this school who can made a schedule ahead of time?”

Flare found Pear’s small but sassy tone really impressive and at the same time, loves that she’s in a mood of going out tonight.

“Anyway sorry this meeting was longer than I thought. We just wanted to make you feel alright for the field trip tomorrow.” Twilight said as Star Tracker gets off the couch.

“I’m okay now. Besides it’s nice to meet your friends who’s willing to help their daughters while they’re on vacation.” Tracker replied as he makes his way to the door.

“We’re promise we won’t make fun of you tomorrow.” Pear Butter smiled.

“Don’t worry, Appleloosa isn’t a place we’re our folks don’t mess with anypony.” Bright Mac giving Tracker the heads up.

“Thanks, See you tomorrow.” Tracker leaves the headmare’s room as he goes straight to Princess Twilight’s castle.

And as for Pear and the others, she takes out the list of activities there going to do in Appleloosa. With a whole day spending time in Appleloosa tomorrow, Pear Butter will be the best teacher in every ponies eyes in the School Of Friendship.
> Appleloosa Of Friendship Part 1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the next day occurred with all the students return to the School Of Friendship with some of them in Pear’s class, Pear Butter, with the first thing in her mind takes her students to Appleloosa. The students never knew anything about Appleloosa nor what Applejack did during her times there. As for their teacher along with her husband, who has experience and knowledge about the town itself, the tour and activities will blow everycreatures mind.







With Pear Butter, Bright Mac, Apple Bloom and Spike, who’s holding a camera leading the way to their destination, the students sweat from being in the hot sweltering desert for so long.

“Pear Butter!” Silverstream called which made Pear’s left ear perk up. “Can we please find an faster way to get to Appleloosa? It’s so hot and hippogriffs need support in this situation.” She tripped on Gallus with no water energy to even walk.

“Will you get off of me!?” The griffin retorted with the weight he’s carrying on his back. With Pear Butter taking notice, she walks up to Silverstream and Gallus during the long journey.

“Please continue to walk, we don’t want the whole group to stop.” She placed her hoof on Silverstream’s forehead.

“But Pear Butter!” Silverstream moaned.

“When we get there, there will be apple cider so use all the energy you have left. We’re almost there.”

Star Tracker who’s by his friends during this hike, chimes in. “What does Appleloosa have from where we live?”

“Trust me when I’m saying this, you will hope in your future in the School Of Friendship you want to have this field trip again.”

The students despite feeling like their sweating like pigs need to respect Pear Butter’s advice. Yesterday in her class, even when she did cooking pies like her daughter does on some occasions, she wants to show how the ponies like her spend their lives in a country style town with different qualities.

Silverstream gets off of Gallus while trying to hold her energy. Pear Butter is proud of the hippogriff willing to move on her own as they return to their walk. It didn’t take long once they see the view of Appleloosa with the city folk and all. Most of the students found it a nice place, but the sight of the town isn’t always the judgement.

“Alright every student,” Bright Mac turning around to the crowd of Pear’s class. “We will give you a long tour of the whole town of Appleloosa and you can have all the freedom to go around for two hours.”

“And keep in mind, we still have a lot to show you after that.” Apple Bloom smiled.

“And of course I’ll be taking pictures to show the memories to future students.” Spike added while lifting her camera up.

All the students cheered as the whole group make their way to Appleloosa. Several of the city folk took notice of the group Bright Mac is leading.

“Hey Bright Mac!” The cowpony shouted. “Whatcha your doing?”

“I’m giving my wife’s students a tour around the town!” Bright Mac responded.

“It’s a field trip!” Apple Bloom added.

“Well then, make your wife proud!” The cowpony took off his hat and lifted up in the air in salute which made Bright Mac blush with his wife lidding her eyes.







The activities Pear’s students did during the whole trip were country style dancing, listening to bands with their banjos and guitars and some food Appleloosa has to offer. However there’s one more place before they continue their field trip. Silverstream is still trudging along with other students when they got here and food didn’t help their problem.

Pear Butter took the hippogriff and some of her friends in a bar that had kinds of drinks available. They all sat by the bartender where the worker can give drinks to anyone much easier.

“Silverstream, I’m sorry you and your friends had to spend the last hour without a single drink.” Pear Butter said while looking at Silverstream laying her head on the tender.

“We just want to split up into several groups so they won’t get lost in Appleloosa. That’s why there was a lot of pairing we had to do.” Bright Mac added.

Silverstream lifted her head up, trying to process the words from Pear and Bright. “You know you could’ve just started the first group who’s thirsty and might’ve fallen a lot sooner instead of waiting!!” She shouted which scared her teacher and her friends.

“I’ve heard from her that hippogriffs lose their sanity if they don’t drink something for so long.” November Rain replied who’s sitting by the hippogriff.

“Don’t worry. When all of that is over, the wait will be worth it.” Pear Butter then turned to the bar employee. “Excuse me, can you give all of my students apple cider?”

“No problem.” She replied as she goes straight to the apple cider barrel and takes out multiple glasses to pour the cider in.

“What’s so special with apple cider?” Peppermint Goldylinks asked.

“Yeah?” Berry Blend added.

“While my daughter Applejack told me that love and effort is what the cider needs and she proves it by beating Flim and Flam.” Pear Butter explained.

“You wouldn't believe how many barrels she, her brother, her sister and of course my mother made.” Bright Mac added.

“Do you think it’s enough after the walk to this place?” Silverstream asked.

“Most definitely.”

As the employee places each glass filled with apple cider to one of her customers, the students look at their cider closely. They did have other beverages in Pinkie’s class before, but Applejack never gave them apple cider in her class.

Silverstream grabbed the cup with her claws as she takes a sip of it. Her teacher and husband have their attention on the hippogriff taking her time drinking the cider. Silverstream couldn’t believe how powerful the taste is as her body and legs shake vibrantly. Her face smile in joy as she turned to her friends.

“Peppermint! Berry! You have to try this!” She shouted as she gets into their faces. “This is the best cider in my entire life!!!”

Despite feeling uncomfortable from Silverstream’s hyper adrenaline, November, Peppermint and Berry agrees as they take their cider and took their drink. Even if they’re not as over excited like Silverstream, they found the cider really fascinating.

“You’re right, this is the best and it’s refreshing.” Berry commented.

“I really hope Applejack teaches us how to make this.” Peppermint added.

Pear and Bright felt proud with the students’s honest opinions on the cider. They can hope they’re over from their thrust of dehydration until they leave. Again, this is only the beginning of the field trip as there's still more to see in Appleloosa.
> Appleloosa Of Friendship Part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After doing some of the activities of the western town of Appleloosa, Pear Butter takes her students to the rodeo area Apple Bloom told her about. When they get there, there were only a few small stacks of hay laying in the arena. Applejack’s cousin Braeburn took his time to stay in the location and offered to teach the students how stack up the hay in stacks.

“Bright Mac!” He cheered once he saw him and his wife leading a crowd of ponies in the area.

“Braeburn!” Bright Mac ran as he gives the cousin a hug.

“How was the time you’re doing today? Giving your wife’s class everything they’re going to love in Appleloosa?”

“You bet and she’s more than happy.”

Pear Butter and Apple Bloom were eavesdropping as they giggle from the two country ponies. The students took a seat around the rodeo as they wait for what their next activity is going to be.

“Back when I was a filly, I never spend my life in this town until Bright Mac showed me this place. And the first rodeo contest I saw was a lot of fun.”

After their teacher gave her a tidbit about her past, her husband takes over. “And after so many years of doing this, we can hope you can join in on future rodeo contests.”

“And let’s not forget about donations.” Apple Bloom added.

Braeburn kicked some hay stacks and showed them to the students. “Now it will take time to experience on to be a true country folk. So I want at least one of you to make a stack of three hays.” To demonstrate, he places the hay stacks in front of him while Pear and the others get out of the way. He turned his body and kicked one of the stacks in the center. Then he kicked the second one that landed on the first one and the third one afterwards. He finally finished his stack of three which impressed the students.

“That was amazing.” Ocellus commented.

“More likely average in my opinion.” Smolder added.

Braeburn after doing the demonstration went by Bright Mac. “If anyone wants to kick some hay, raise your hoof.”

The students raised their hooves and Pear Butter pointed at Ocellus. Ocellus flow off of her seat and land by her teacher. “I’m just going to let you know...I’m not the best at kicking things.” She spoke.

“Don’t be embarrassed.” Pear placing her hoof on the Changeling’s wing. “You’re not the only one who never kicked something in this town.”

“Besides, you might unintelligently surprise us so just have fun.” Bright added.

Ocellus felt a little happy from the advice from Applejack’s parents. “You know something Pear, out of all the teachers I saw from this week so far, your really nice in your heart.”

After hearing the changeling’s opinion, Pear blushed. “Ohh shucks…”

“Well you know what they say, mothers are the most caring things in this world.” Apple Bloom giggled.

Ocellus went by one of the hays Braeburn just put back into place. He gives her the sign to give the hays a little launch to the sky. Although Fluttershy told her that kicking is the same as hitting, something that might hurt someone if by accident. However this isn’t Fluttershy’s place to show what kindness is, this is Appleloosa. An environment of city folk doing crazy but exciting things. Pear told her that the western town gets a lot of ponies together with musical bands and competitive teams. Ocellus needs to understand what life is like outside of her empire and this is the same place ponies live in like Ponyville and Canterlot.

She turned around and took a deep breath, with the hays behind her she kicked them not as hard Braeburn did but enough momentum to send the hay in the center of the arena. The students gave a small applause to the Changeling as she gets to her second kick. Unfortunately her second attempt didn’t do well since it landed on the other side in the direction, causing her to lose a chance on stacking three up. Her final kick on the other hand manage to land on her first one just barely.

The students cheered which surprises Ocellus once she looks at the stack she did.
“Decent job!” Braeburn shouted.

“Ocellus, you are the Changeling who runs the town!” Bright added.

Spike took a picture on the hays and Ocellus’s reaction. “Applejack is going to love this.” He looked at the photos he took from the day.







Bright Mac brought more hays so they can do four rows instead of one to give every student a chance to volunteer. Everyone even if they didn’t succeed on their only attempt, they still had a good time. It took about twenty minutes until everypony did their kick of the stack activity.

“I’m proud of you, my students to do this fun experience.” Pear said. “Seeing everyone of you taking the chance to do what city folk to will make Appleloosa proud.”

Just when she’s about to get talk about the next place in Appleloosa they’re going next, her youngest daughter steps in. “Um mom, we didn’t do the rodeo yet.”

This caused Pear Butter to make a dumbfounded expression. “Ohhhh! I forgot about that!” She reacted in realisation.

“Sorry Pear but we don’t have bigger ponies who will carry your students on their backs.” Braeburn replied.

“Then I don’t know what we’re going to do.” Bright commented. Then Pear got an idea. Applejack told her the time she faced Rainbow Dash in the Running Of The Leaves when they gave Spike a rodeo as she turns to Spike.

“Spike, before we leave can you go on my husband back to show these students a rodeo?” She suggested nicely.

“What?” Spike responded as Pear walks up to him.

“I know you can handle this because you did the same thing with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.”

“Because I was the smallest creature.”

“That’s the point.” Apple Bloom added.

“I have wings, I barely sit on Twilight wherever she goes to anymore.”

Then Bright Mac places his hoof on Spike’s shoulder. “It’s only going to be a few minutes, please do a demonstration for Pear’s class. Everyone is giving my wife praise for the field trip she’s doing.”

Spike barely talked to any of his friend's parents in the past even Applejack’s, but he knows how serious this is. Applejack’s mother is doing whatever she takes to show the students friendship in Appleloosa. He did the same thing when he paired up with Pinkie Pie when they sing a song about sharing, despite the backfire.

“Alright, fine…” Spike handed his camera to Apple Bloom, then he gets on Bright Mac’s back.

“Now a rodeo isn’t as easy as you think.” Braeburn explained. “You need to hang on tightly if you want you to prove everypony your the best in rodeo style.”

With all the ponies keep their attention on Bright Mac and Spike, Bright gives the dragon a determined look which made Spike uncomfortable.

“I’m just going to let you know, I won’t use my wings.”

“You better not.” Bright Mac smiled. “Without a chance to want out, Bright Mac moves all over the place, way harder then Applejack. Spike couldn’t even handle the speed considering how strong Applejack’s father is. The weight made him more faster that even anypony will have a hard time to hang on to him.

Not even in thirty seconds, Spike let go on his own accord with the momentum he has, crashing through one of the hays. Pear and her students were shocked from the sudden impact her husband made. Luckily for him, Spike got out of the hay feeling exhausted.

“Are you hurt?” Bright called.

“I’m fine...but I’m done taking pictures for the day.” He faceplated on the dirt moaning.
The students giggle from the moment Spike fell on exhaustion. Pear and Bright felt relief that Twilight Sparkle’s assistant didn’t get seriously damaged but also smiled at each other.

“You know if you’re going to do this to anyone, you would definitely beat them big time.” Pear said.

“Well Applejack told me I’m the strongest father, and I always prove it.” Bright smirked.
> Appleloosa Of Friendship Part 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the final hours of Pear’s field trip, her husband talked to one of his friends if they can throw a country style party for the students before they head back to the School Of Friendship. They accept his offer because it’s their way to show the passion of friendship in Appleloosa.

Bright Mac and Apple Bloom helped the country folk to set up the party while the students all wore cowboy hats. Most of the students danced to the country music from one of Appleloosa’s bands, they played games with other country folk, and of course, they all had apple cider.

“This is the best party ever!” Silverstream flying all over the party in her hyper adrenaline.

Pear Butter, Bright Mac, and Spike are sitting on a bench by one of the buildings in the town. Spike is still exhausted after what happened to him hours ago and Apple Bloom is taking care of the pictures for the rest of the trip.

“Hey buddy,” Bright Mac looking at the purple dragon. “Sorry for what I did back at the rodeo area.”

Spike lifted his head up to respond to Bright’s apology. “Thanks. Next time if I ever go on this trip, please show the students a video of rodeo style?”

Pear Butter wouldn’t show the students any cheap way in a field trip, but for the sake for Twilight’s assistant, she has to make changes. “Alright I’ll make sure you will not be in a demonstration again.” Pear rolled her eyes smiling.

After taking several pictures of the students in the party, Apple Bloom returned to her parents along with a student and a cowgirl. “Mom, Dad, I got the best pictures and all we need is a group picture with the country folk of Appleloosa before we leave.” She gives her parents the photos she took so far. They found them perfect, way better than the other times from the last few months.

“Our daughter is going to be proud once she sees this.” Bright replied.

“And Twilight’s mom is going to approve of this.” Pear added. “Hey, who are these two ponies?”

“This is Fire Quicker and this is Bonnie Rose.” Apple Bloom introducing the two ponies by her sides. “Bonnie Rose is one of the citizens who lives in Appleloosa.”

“I saw Fire Quicker earlier today and she wanted me to invite her to my house.” Bonnie said.

However this made Pear Butter a little mad. She did make rules on not talking to others before going in their house, since they might get lost during the field trip. “Fire Quicker, I told you the rules before we split you up into groups.”

“I’m sorry!” Fire taking a few steps back. “This place looked so fun, I really wanted to know more about Bonnie and how life works in this town.”

“That’s still not an excuse for you to break the rules.”

Just when things turned ugly, Bonnie Roses defends her best friend who doesn’t live in Appleloosa. “No it’s alright, she does respect your rules, it’s just that Appleloosa has so much, that she wants to live here.” Pear and Bright found Bonnie’s confession interesting due to their years in Appleloosa being the best of their relationship. “She even told me if I volunteer as a student in the School Of Friendship, maybe more country folk might do the same.”

Pear Butter couldn’t believe what she heard. It’s one thing to take students to a town her husband showed her while also enjoying it, but it’s another when she got a pony who lives here. It surprised her that she found a girl who made friends with one of her students, despite the rules Fire broke.

“Okay I’m just letting you two know that my wife didn’t want any student to be left behind because Twilight Sparkle won't approve of this when she gets back from vacation.” Bright Mac said concerningly.

“He’s right.” Spike added.

“From what I heard from Twilight, this is the second field trip of her school.” Pear replied. “And we want our daughters to trust us on this, otherwise we will never have this trip again.”

Fire Quicker and Bonnie Rose felt guilty due to their decisions behind Pear’s back, but Pear Butter wasn’t done yet. “However, me and Bright Mac loves Appleloosa and love the ponies around here. Their friendship is different than anypony in Ponyville and I’m impressed you found one who’s also willing to join the school.”

Pear gets off her bench and walks up to the two ponies. “Bonnie, after this week is over, you can volunteer to be part of the School Of Friendship when I write a note to Twilight Sparkle once she gets back.” Bonnie was thrilled that she’s going to be in a school Fire is talking about but her friend is still in trouble once Pear turned to Fire. “Unfortunately, you will still have to be in detention from my class tomorrow.”

“I’m so sorry.” Fire lowered her ears in shame.

“Your lucky this punishment isn’t hard, but please follow the rules next time.”

“I will, I’ll promise.”

Pear Butter gave Fire Quicker a hug to which Fire accepted.







There’s only ten more minutes until the School Of Friendship has to leave Appleloosa, but Pear is one more announcement.

“Attention all students.” Pear Butter gets in the center of the party to which every one of her students are listening. “Today was the best day in Appleloosa in a long time. Bands and dancers really love to have company with all of you students.”

“Tell me about it.” Smolder said.

“This place is really rockin!” Sandbar added.

Bright Mac decides to fill in on his wife’s speech. “Appleloosa is a fun place to be in, and Pear did something I did to her. When I showed her this town, she did the same thing with all of you which makes me happy to come along on this trip.”

This made Pear blush but she gave Bright a mini award. “And I wouldn’t know this place without you.” She gave him a kiss on his cheek in front of the crowd. Unlike the other times when she kissed him, they usually do that when they’re alone or with their family. Bright Mac’s face turned red while some of the ponies either adored or giggled during this moment.

“Geez, and ponies make fun of me with the times Twilight kissed me.” Star Tracker thought.

After Pear backed away from Bright, she returns to her speech. “Before we leave, we should take a group picture to show Twilight Sparkle of what we accomplished in Appleloosa!”

The students cheered while the city folk do an applause to Pear Butter. It took a minute for everyone to do a group picture by getting into their places. The citizens along with their instruments and other things make a pose on the left and right sides. And in the middle shows the students in the School Of Friendship while their still wearing their cowboy hats. Pear Butter, Bright Mac and Apple Bloom are in the center since they’re the ones who took care of everything in this field trip.

With Spike behind the lens of his camera, took the picture with everypony and student with Appleloosa behind them, making this one of the best photos of this week so far. After that, they say goodbye to the citizens of Appleloosa and make their way back to the School Of Friendship along with apple cider to drink along the way.
> Empty In Cloudy’s Heart
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Pear Butter’s class returns to the School Of Friendship, it was almost at the end of the school day. All the students went home after the most satisfying field trip they’ve had in a long time. So far it was the best thing they experience with their substitutes and they still have three more days left. As for Pear Butter and Apple Bloom, they took all the photos from today and showed them to Twilight Velvet in her daughter’s office and she was more then happy.

“THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!!” Twilight cheered as she continues to look at every image on her desk. Just before the other teachers leave, Pear gave them apple cider to celebrate that they brought after they left Appleloosa.

“Imagine what Twilight would think of this, she would see so many students loving her school if we do field trips like this.” Apple Bloom smiled.

“I know.” Pear Butter replied. “It was a risk for me to make everypony show the friendship in Appleloosa, but we succeeded.”

“Succeeded? YOU TWO WERE PERFECT!!!” Twilight’s mother was so happy, she gave Pear and Bloom a tight hug.

“Ah!.....can you….please…..let go!” Pear cried.

“You’re...crushing...us!” Apple Bloom added while her spin is being strapped.

“Oh sorry.” Velvet noticing the pressure she causing as she broke the hug.

“Anyway, How were the other teachers?” Pear regaining her breath.

“They did good, Cookie Crumbles is going to show her students what to wear during proms. It’s her way of showing friendship by dancing in one of her favorite dance parties during high school.”

“That sounds...interesting.” Apple Bloom making an awkward look.

“What about Cloudy Quartz?” Pear asked.

Twilight Velvet didn’t wanted to make a responses whatsoever. When this day begun, Cloudy just like yesterday spend most of her time in her daughter’s classroom with nothing to teach the students. Instead of answering Pear’s question, she takes her and Apple Bloom to Pinkie Pie’s classroom.

The hallways were empty with no sound at all. It was like they are walking in an abandoned school while looking at all the rooms. But then again, it’s been a long time since the mothers been part of a school during their teenage years. They always had that in mind since they took over this week.

After walking in a few hallways, they made it to Pinkie’s classroom. When Twilight Velvet opened the door, she saw Cloudy Quartz sitting in the middle of the room with her head lowered. It was a sad day for her, all of her students got excused due to the lack of inspiration she had and it doesn’t help her daughter wouldn’t be happy once she finds out about this.

“Cloudy?” Velvet called which got Cloudy’s attention.

“Yes?” Cloudy spoke in her depression tone.

Twilight turned to Pear Butter and Apple Bloom as they’re still in the hallway. “Let me handle this.” She closed the door behind her and sat by Cloudy on the ground. “I know your having a rough time but we're close in the middle of this week.”

“I get that, I know everything but can’t teach anything in this school.” Cloudy retorted.

Velvet would easily took offended from her, but Pinkie told everything about her. But there's still one thing she doesn’t understand from Cloudy.

“Can you tell me why you accepted your daughter’s offer to take over her teaching job?”

Cloudy took a deep breath while she tries to be nice to Velvet. She looked into her eyes with the best in her intention. “Because I still love my daughter and the fact she did so many things on her own, I wanted to show her I still have her back. When your daughter told me what to do in this school, It was an opportunity to give Pinkie Pie something she deserves from a mother like me.”

Pear Butter and Apple Bloom were eavesdropping on the situation and were surprised from Cloudy’s confession. As for Velvet, she was speechless. She always thought Pinkie’s mother was the opposite, but every family, even the Pie family, have their reasonings. However it wasn’t enough for her to accept the predicament Cloudy’s in.

“If you want Pinkie Pie to respect you more, you need to show your students something about friendship.” She gets back up as she heads back to the door before turning her attention on Cloudy again. “Tomorrow, you gotta work things out with your students otherwise you will be remembered as the least interesting this week...no offense.”

As she leaves the room, Pear and Apple are still waiting. “Is she’s going to be alright?” Apple Bloom asked.

“I don’t think so, you should give her advice.” Velvet replied as she heads back to her office. Pear Butter and Apple Bloom looked at each other in concerned. After the day they had, it was a matter of time to see what Cloudy was doing all this time.

Pear Butter and her daughter came inside the classroom while witnessing the dead silence. They listen to all the classes on Monday when they heard applause but not a single sound from Cloudy’s class and this was worse since Pinkie’s mother is all alone. Pear closed the door behind her looking at Cloudy, who is looking depressed.

“Cloudy, do you think you should try to do something unique?” Apple Bloom asked.

“What do you mean by that?” Cloudy retorted.

“Like what me and Apple Bloom did today. Taking my students to a different environment about friendship, but not as in another field trip.” Pear discussed as she gives Cloudy a cup of apple cider.

While Cloudy accepted the cider, she tries to understand the idea from Pear’s advice. “So, what you’re meaning to tell me to show my students my environment of friendship?”

“If you put it in your class...yes.” Apple Bloom commented.

“When Applejack told me everything when she tries to get along with your family, your felt disgusted with her idea of Hearths Warming. And you showed her what your family do in that holiday.” Pear continued. “My field trip was successful when Bright Mac showed me Appleloosa during my times with him. My knowledge of most of my friendships happened in that town and how it’s different compared to Ponyville.”

Cloudy always thought that Twilight’s school involves her journeys to fix friendship problems and nothing more, but that would make her school all about adventures instead of studying lessons.

“I think we should go now.” Apple Bloom said. ”We’ve been through a lot today and I just want to focus on tomorrow. Sorry.”

“You’re right, I need some rest.” Pear opened the door for her daughter to leave while trying to give Cloudy the last of the information she has for her. “I know you can do better than this. Friendship has so many qualities and you have it.” Pear leaves the room while Cloudy came to the realization.

Pinkie’s mother went to her desk and took out her photo of her family before her daughter threw the party she enjoyed. Her husband, Igneous Rock made so many rock figures during his job, but when he’s in a good mood, he makes figures of her daughters to cheer them up. Then Cloudy Quartz got an idea but not as much for her three days in this school but it’s her last chance to impress her students about friendship. If it backfires, her heart will remain empty, when she feels less of a mother to Pinkie Pie.
> Student Figures Of Rock
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the morning of day three, Cloudy Quartz prepared everything in her daughter’s classroom. It’s a big day for her since it’s finally time to show her teaching skills in front of her students. Her family is waiting in the hallway while the students who arrived are confused. Out of the teachers they saw this week, they wonder if Pinkie’s mother has something to do with it. For the last two days, they saw Cloudy Quartz as the least of their favorites, but not the worst.

When they come in Cloudy’s classroom, they see her and Spike making decisions for today’s class. It was the first time they see Cloudy doing something and they’re surprised.

“What are we going to learn in this class?” Star Tracker asked.

“Not sure, looks really bizarre if you ask me.” Sandbar replied. As the students take their seats, Cloudy makes an announcement with Spike by her side.

“Now it’s been two days since I allowed you to skip my class, but not anymore. Today will be something different, it will be something that I usually do back where I live.” She then turns to Spike. “Spike, please go get my family.”

Spike assisted as he leaves the classroom. The students also notice several heavy bags behind Cloudy.

“Excuse me?” November raised his hoof. “What’s in those bags?”

“Rocks.” Cloudy answered.

This made the students more confused. After watering their plants and their trip to Appleloosa, rocks never came to mind.

“What are we going to do with rocks?” Ocellus asked.

“Trust me, it’s not what you think it is.”

Spike came back as he opens the door wide to invite Cloudy’s family in. When the students witness the visitors again, they had the same unhappy expression, almost like they dislike being here. Once they line up in Cloudy’s classroom, Cloudy introduces them.

“This is the Pie family. We live at a rock farm where we raised Pinkie Pie. This is my husband, Igneous Rock. And these are my three daughters, Limestone Pie, Marble Pie and Maud Pie.”

Her family didn’t make a reaction during their introduction which made the students  make awkward faces. Igneous Rock gave the students a glare, he isn’t always in a good mood while Marble Pie is hiding behind Maud. It was an awkward moment that lasted for a solid minute until Cloudy spoke again.

“Please be respectful, just because we act this way, doesn't mean we’re not related to Pinkie Pie.”

“She’s right.” Her husband chimed in. “We’ve spent all our lives back at the farm.”

“Not to mention, we are disgusted that ponies disrespect our property.” Limestone added.

“So to show our lesson about friendship, we’re going to teach you how to make rock figures.”

“Rock figures?” Gallus asked. “Like you make something out of rock?”

Igneous Rock nodded after listening to Gallus’s question. He then takes one of the bags from the back and takes out a rock with rockhammers he brought along. “This will take a lot of time to make a single figure so we decide to put you into three groups.”







For the next couple of minutes, Cloudy manage to put the students in her class in groups. Her husband took the time he needed to show the basics of making a rock figure. Then one of her daughters decided to help the students how to make a rock figure.

“Now you can make a rock figure out of any pony you want, but we don’t have a lot of time.” Cloudy replied. “This friendship is to show what we feel in our property. If you ever come to our farm, making friends,”

“Even though we barely have friends.” Limestone chimed in despite her mother finishing her subject.

“When you go to your FRIEND’S house, respect what they do in their society like us.”

When Cloudy shows her lesson about friendship, it made her students surprised. Besides some students spending time in their homes, new students never invited their friends from the school in their house. Especially the rules they need to follow and the feelings the family have that might be offended.

When Igneous place three huge rocks on one of the tables where the groups with their rockhammers are at, is when the students finally beginning their project. Star Tracker was about to get some assist with Marble Pie who’s the helper of his group but she didn’t make a single word once she got here.

“Ummm…Marble?” He asked. “Are you going to help us?”

Marble is still shy to even respond to Star’s question. She didn’t want to come here but she also didn’t want to disappoint her mother.

“Yeah, we didn’t even use our rockhammers yet.“ Silverstream added. 

“I’m just not into helping okay?” She replied. “But I also think you should make something out of love. You know, the closet of your best friend.”

This gave Tracker’s group buddies the idea of their project but it won’t make Tracker happy whatsoever. With the love in their minds, they gave Tracker their smirk expressions which made him blush again.

“Did you really have to say love?” He retorted.

“It was just an expression of friendship.” She hides behind her hair.

Star Tracker moaned in annoyance as if his problem from two days ago didn’t fate away.







During the rest of the period, minutes before the class is over, the three groups finished their assignment. Cloudy expects the effort her students did at least passable with the idea she has for friendship. She makes her way to the first group of their rock figure and judges it.

The first group’s rock figure is a Canterlot guard with his uniform on. While Cloudy isn’t impressed with the detail on the uniform, she admits it was a complicated task to make their model the best. She gave the group’s figure a C+.

She went to the second group where they’re figure is a little filly. With it being small, they have to use their rockhammers more on the one and only rock they had. In Cloudy’s perspective, it’s better than the last model with the mane almost looking good. She gave the group a B+ which made the group happy with their project being the best of what they have.

All that’s left is the final group to which Star Tracker is hiding behind his friends in embarrassment. “So what did you made out of your rock?” Cloudy asked.

Silverstream pushed the model in front of Cloudy as she gives Tracker her lid eyes. “Bet Twilight will find it adorable since you did the head part.” The hippogriff giggled.

Cloudy was not only impressed but also shocked. The model the group made was Twilight Sparkle, with her wings! Her wings being the addition to the figure was almost near perfection while her body is the most detail the group did on it. But when it comes to Twilight’s head, Tracker remembered the most when he worked on it. Her eyes has the line shape from her real ones, as if you can paint on it carefully.

“This is almost close to how my husband does it. If Twilight sees this, she would easily approve it.” She gave the group’s project an A+ which shocked most of the students in her class. “How did you do this?”

“I’m a hippogriff with wings, I can easily see how wings are done.” Silverstream boasted.

“And the fact we love our principal in this school.” Ocellus added.

While Star Tracker didn’t speak a word about the head he did on, he’s proud he got an A+. As for Cloudy Quartz, she did a great job when she finally did something in her class. As for her family, they found it nice to help out their mother in this situation. The students respected their society and Maud Pie knew all along they will never disrespect it.

Cloudy returned to her spot and gave her final speech to her students. “I wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to make your rock figures while also respecting me and my family.”

Then his daughter Maud Pie shows her thoughts on today’s activity. “We’ve known Pinkie Pie longer than you think, when she showed us her first ever party it made us happy. You know what you made us feel? The same thing and we don’t usually feel that a lot. I still hope you still show more respect to my mother for today and the rest of the week. We still might change our minds.”

After that, Cloudy’s family leave the classroom, reminding the same expression but with some happiness in themselves. Then finally the class is over with the bell ringing, the students leave.

“So how was it?”” Spike asked while he looks at the photos he took in Cloudy’s class.

“Almost the same as I predicted. Impressing my students with my own effort of friendship.” She smiled.

During the time the students make their way to their next classroom, they still remember they have two days with Cloudy’s class. To show their respect to Cloudy like the other teachers, they have something planned to make another rock model but bigger. If one group can make a small figure then three groups can make a big one figure. A figure Cloudy will remember for the rest of her life.
> Cookie’s Fashion Style
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

During most of this week, Rarity’s mother never had any of the problems in her classes. In fact her way of teaching is just like her daughter’s style, but when it comes to her own style, she’s really carefree.

With her students arriving into her classroom, they saw that she has two curtains. One for boys and another for girls.

“Wonder what she’s going to teach us now.” November Rain commented.

“Yeah from the last two days, she showed us her outfits she wears in her life.” His friend replied.

With all the students taking their seats, Cookie Crumbles got out of girls curtain. She’s wearing the same wedding dress she used when she married Hondo.

“Today is a beautiful day, after showing you so many of my dresses I thought of an activity we can do together.” With all of her students confused, Cookie announce her lesson of friendship. “Roleplay!”

The students became more confused from Cookie’s idea. “Did you just say roleplay?” Sandbar blinked.

“You mean we’re going to act out something for fun?” Gallus added.

“Of course by wearing some costumes. Because I thought students should prepare their next move when they decide to improve their friendship. So…” Cookie went to the curtains and brought out a football uniform and a princess outfit. “You can wear these so you can feel the experience. Kind of like a test of what will happen in real life.”

The students didn’t expect that Cookie set everything up for her lesson of friendship after the last two days. The last two days in her class was okay, but it was really a working process of her goal. While they like the idea of Cookie’s roleplay friendship, they still found it odd.

Silverstream on the other hand found it a great idea. “I want to be part of this!” She raised her hand.

“Then get up here.” Cookie offered. The hippogriff flow up by her teacher while Cookie picks somepony to be Silverstream’s partner. She pointed at November Rain, as the student follows his teacher’s orders. “Now in order to make this roleplay work, you have to act like you mean it so you can understand how important it is. Silverstream, you will be a die hard fanboy of the Wonderbolts. November Rain, you will be just a non fan while your partner shows how great the Wonderbolts are.”

November Rain despite feeling a bit off with the roleplay, still needs to understand what Cookie is trying to accomplish. Him and Silverstream went to their respective curtains to change into their costumes. The clothes Cookie brought along are plain, fancy, and stylized. While most of the outfits were made from her daughter, she really wants her friendship lesson to be plan out good.

After the pony and hippogriff are in their costumes, they get out from behind the curtains. November is wearing a baseball hat with a dark green shirt on. As for Silverstream since she’s being portrayed as a Wonderbolts fan, she’s wearing a Wonderbolts uniform with a Rainbow Dash action figure in her hand. They walk up to Cookie as the students found the costumes convincing to make the roleplay work.

Cookie moved away from the two so she can give them the cue to start the activity. With the students and teacher watching, Silverstream starts the first move.

“HEY HEY HEY! NOVEMBER RAIN!” She shouted in her hyper tone. November despite getting creeped out, still went along with the roleplay.

“Umm...yes Silverstream?” He asked.

“Have you ever heard anything about the Wonderbolts!?” The hippogriff getting into the unicorn’s face.

“Not really.”

“They’re going to be in Ponyville to put on a show! AND I HAVE TWO TICKETS!”

Even if Silverstream didn’t have any tickets whatsoever, November is starting to slowly get into the roleplay so he decided to go along with it.

“Can you please come with me to their show!?”

“Well the thing is, I’m going to a baseball event and-“

Just when November was about to finish his words, Silverstream interrupts by looking face to face to him.

“NO! You don’t know what your missing! If you watch their show, you will never regret it!”

“What do they do?”

“After they begin their show, they fly into groups while they make turns to show off their flying skills. Your mind will be blown with how fast they really are. And by any chance when their done, you might get a chance to talk to them backstage.”

November can understand what the roleplay is all about. During Silverstream’s quotes, he can see this work out in the real world. While he does know what the Wonderbolts do, since Rainbow Dash told him about them, he pretended to act surprised to make the roleplay good.

“Silverstream, let’s watch the Wonderbolts together.”

After hearing November’s response, Silverstream squeal as she hugs his partner tightly. “THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!”

Cookie Crumbles had seen enough and never felt so proud of her students. “And that should do it.” She walked up to the two students. “That was amazing!”

“Thanks.” Silverstream replied.

“If Rainbow Dash never told me anything about the Wonderbolts, this roleplay might give me a chance to like them.” November commented.

“Why thank you you two. If you have friends in this class, they might feel the same way.” Cookie smiled.

The students in the class found the roleplay not only fun, but also inspiring. After watching the show November Rain and Silverstream put on, they want to be part of this. When the two went back to their seats, the students raised their hooves so they can have a turn in the next roleplay. Cookie Crumbles was never afraid when she’s willing to take over her daughter’s job. She may spend less time with Rarity but that doesn’t stop her from thinking about her when she’s on vacation. With her roleplay working out in her class, she continues her lesson with the amount of time she has left.
> In Stellar Flare’s Office
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Quicker is still taking responsibility for breaking the rules of Pear Butter’s field trip. While she did made a friend at Appleloosa who’s willing to be part of the School Of Friendship in the distant future, it wasn’t enough to avoid the rule she broke.

Ever since Pear Butter’s class began, Fire stayed in Starlight’s office during the whole period. Not only that, the counselor of the week is sitting in front of Fire. She didn’t made a single mistake whatsoever ever since Starlight went on vacation. She always puts her full attention on students who did something bad in the School Of Friendship and for what Fire Quicker did, there’s no excuse.

“Umm…” Fire sitting awkwardly. “How long are you going to keep staring at me?”

“Until Pear Butter’s class is over.” Stellar replied.

Fire Quicker signed in depression. Of course she did something wrong, but the punishment wasn’t helping her. Ten minutes ago, she’d been waiting and waiting until the next class begins.

“Do you think we can work something out?” She asked but this made the counselor annoyed.

“What do you mean?”

“Like...ummm…” Before Fire can get the chance to think of a better option, Stellar interrupts her.

“Let me make something clear student.” Stellar getting into Fire’s face. “I make the decisions around here. And to make this school stable when Twilight Sparkle is gone, you need to learn your lesson by missing one class.” She then pointed her hoof at Fire. “You’re lucky this punishment isn’t as hard as you think.”

Fire Quicker was taken aback from Stellar’s sassy attitude. The fact this is the first time she ever met her in person, she wonders if Stellar does the same thing to others. Again, she is the counselor for this week and she makes up most of Twilight Velvet’s ideas.

“Don’t you think you should at least...understand that I’m trying to help this school?” Fire replied.

“If your talking about your new friend Bonnie Rose in Appleloosa, then no.” The counselor retorted.

“But you don’t understand.”

“What don’t I understand?”

Fire Quicker signed as she tries to make things right for herself. “I told Pear Butter that I have Bonnie Rose to volunteer to this school?”

“What’s the difference?”

“If more than just ponies know about the School Of Friendship, then they can have their friends to be volunteers. Imagine from where you live, your workers who are under your age, be part of this school?”

Stellar Flare thought about Fire’s words. From where she lives, Sire’s Hollow, is a place where all of her workers have been doing her schedules. And they have sons and daughters who didn’t like her society most of the time. She wanted to make things right for everypony in her society by any means necessary since her son along with his friend did a friendship problem.

She then made a smirked which caught Fire’s attention. “Well...let me tell you something.”

“Something of what?” Fire blinked.

“Maybe when I get the time to be counselor again, I might bring my employees to show our students some pure friendship talent, while also bring their families to check the whole school.”

Fire Quicker is speechless from Stellar’s idea. Just when she was about to show her responsibilities respectfully to the counselor, but it was nothing like this. “Am I still in punishment?”

The Stellar went back into seriousness. “Oh yes, I’m still watching you until Pear’s class is over, but I will remind Twilight Velvet about it.”

This made Fire Quicker sigh. While she did gave Stellar something to think for her future in this school, the rule she broke will never be forgotten until she deserves her punishment. Stellar Flare is too smart to fall in any of the student’s sneaky way of getting out of her office. Even if her job isn’t like the others, she doesn’t mind at all.
> Love Is Always The Purpose
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final class of Wednesday all takes place in Twilight’s classroom. Twilight Velvet has something planned to show her students something even her daughter didn’t do. When all the students took a seat in the classroom, Twilight Velvet and Mrs. Shy by her side begins the class.

“After today, we only have two more days left and tomorrow, we’re gonna have our second field trip and on Friday at the end of the school day, we’re gonna have a huge party before we leave.” She cheered in excitement.

All the students are also excited for what they have on the final days with their substitutes. Even though they don’t know what their field trip is going to be like, Twilight will make sure they will have fun just like Pear’s field trip was.

Mrs. Shy decided to fill in the subject of Twilight’s class. “What we’re going to teach you in this class is about love.”

Every student in the class became confused on the idea. After watering plants and doing sportsmen ships, this was nothing they had in mind. Star Tracker raised his hoof.

“Please don’t tell us we’re going to be in roleplays.”

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing like that.”

Star Tracker signed in relief, happy that he’s not getting embarrassed again.

“You see, we had this in mind when we got our choice to take over our daughters jobs.” Twilight replied.

“And if you ever get yourselves in this situation, this class will give you something to learn.” Mrs. Shy added.

While the students try to understand what their teachers are trying to accomplish, Night Light and Mr. Shy entered the classroom.

“We brought our husbands to be as guest speakers for this class.” Velvet said as her husband and Mr. Shy made their way on the stage.

“They’re going to explain the ideas of what love is all about, since it’s been a long time since we’ve been married.” Mrs Shy blushed.

“It’s true.” Night Light spoke.

“We’ve been married longer than you think.” Mr. Shy add. “For all my years raising my daughter before she got her cutie mark, it was an experience for me to give her love.”

“Wait, you mean you gave her love as in??” Ocellus blinked.

“No no no, it’s nothing like that!” Night Light awkwardly smiled. “What we mean is to show our daughters how much we and our wifes we love each other.”

The students became surprised from the point Night Light and Mr. Shy are trying to make. Without them in their wife’s lives, they not only will get the opportunity to have them as wonderful teachers, but also the School Of Friendship too.

“When we saw them grow into teenage ponies, we saw how better they got with their talents. From me watching Fluttershy taking care of beautiful animals and Night Light hearing about Twilight’s time at Celestia’s school in Canterlot, imagine if you get married, your son or daughter does any of those talents.” Mr. Shy finished his speech.

Both of their wifes are more than proud from the performance they did as guest speakers. As for the students, they can understand why love is one of the most important things in life. Even if most of them aren’t in a romantic relationship with somepony, but if they ever do, they will take the advice from Night Light and Mr. Shy.

“Is there any questions?” Velvet asked as she and Mrs. Shy walks up between their husbands. Out of all the students, Sandbar was the only pony who raised his hoof.

“I’m actually curious, is it okay that two different creatures can be in a romantic relationship to make all of this work?” He asked.

“You mean...a pony and a different species?” Night Light titled his head.

“Yes. Yes it’s weird and mostly wrong, but bizarre things happen right?” Sandbar began to blush while his teachers can see what he’s talking about.

“I won’t say that it’s wrong or anything, but I’m sure things will work out as long as you take our advice.” Mr. Shy recalled.

Sandbar then looks at Yona after he asked his question. She also was watching him which made him blush more with his feelings getting stronger towards her.

“Anyway that’s it for today, tomorrow we’re going to have a field trip so I hope your ready for some waterfalls!” Velvet cheered.

All the students left the classroom and left the school with their third day finished with their teachers. Just when they thought it couldn’t get any better, Velvet has something planned for her field trip and it’s going to be a day they will never forget.
> Waterfall Adrenaline
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the dawn of Thursday, Twilight Velvet along with the other teachers took all the students in the School Of Friendship to one of the biggest waterfalls in Equestria. It was the same falls she went to during her zeppelin vacation with Twilight, where she was wearing a safety helmet, falling from the sky inside of a barrel. To her it was the best part of that vacation, it gave her the idea as a field trip, so her students can have fun.

When they arrived at the same waterfall she went to before, she allowed the students to watch how beautiful the sight is, of being inside the barrel to fall down from the top of the waterfall. As for her friends, most of them decided to join or watch the students in case of serious emergencies. Her husband Night Light decided to come along to see if his wife did a great job and so far, her field trip is becoming a success.

All of the teachers are sitting on a bench, watching the students falling inside a barrel from the sky.

“So this is the place you went to during your family vacation?” Pear Butter asked.

“That’s right.” Twilight Velvet smiled “Isn’t this the best idea ever!?”

The teachers gave each other awkward looks. When it comes to this and Pear’s field trip, they found Twilight’s idea good on paper, but never thought the waterfall would be so tall.

“Ummm…” Mrs. Shy trying to state her opinion nicely. “I wouldn’t say this is the best idea ever.”

This made Velvet stunned until Cookie Crumbles fills in. “Yeah, I would say this is…too...much.” Rarity’s mother looked at the waterfall and saw tens of students in barrels, falling from the sky and landed onto the deck. The impact of the landing somehow didn’t damage the students or barrel in any way.

“What do you mean it’s too much?” Velvet replied with depression.

“The waterfall is too high.” Cloudy answered.

“Yeah, I mean look at it.” Stellar pointed with her hoof. When they looked at the waterfall again, it was a hundred feet high. The speed from the barrel landing on the ground is about thirty miles an hour, depending on the weight of one pony.

Every teacher refused to go on top of the waterfall because of how high it is. However one teacher in the group found it the opposite of what they think.

“It looks AWESOME!” Windy Whistle cheered in excitement with the other teachers leaning back. “I mean I wanted to be fast like my daughter but I’m too old. This on the other hand,” She pointed at the waterfall. “It’s faster than a rollercoaster!”

“Windy, that’s not what we-“ Just when Pear was about to talk sense into Rainbow’s mother, Velvet covered her mouth.

“Hey why don’t we go together in the same barrel up at the waterfall?” Twilight’s mother offered.

“Great idea!” Windy cheered. As the two went up the top of the waterfall, The other teachers decided to stay on the bench they’re sitting. Sweetie Belle who’s the only tutor who came on this field trip, took photos with her camera. She noticed that the teachers are sitting by themselves as they watch their students enjoying the waterfall.

“Teachers, is there something wrong?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Nothing at all, my daughter.” Cookie smiled.

“It’s just we never thought that Twilight would do something like this for a field trip.” Cloudy added.

Sweetie Belle looked at the waterfall with several more students falling inside barrels. “Like a waterfall ride?”

“Yes.” Pear answered.

“I’m pretty sure Twilight’s mom has everything under control.”

The other teachers looked at each other with concerned looks on their faces. They all agreed that Pear Butter’s field trip is a safe idea but Twilight’s field trip is way over the top when it comes to the fun experience.

“Here’s the thing.” Mrs. Shy replied. “We want to show our daughters that we can protect their students.”

“Twilight Sparkle said in her letter that Rainbow Dash and Applejack caused a disaster when they did their field trip.” Cloudy added.

“And we made agreements to have one field trip, but Twilight’s mom wants her idea to happen so we made two instead.” Pear added.

Sweetie Belle didn’t actually expect her teachers to be in such a serious state. Three days ago, she was happy that her mother was going to take over her sister’s job, but she never knew they had to make this week perfect for their daughters.

“Mom.” Sweetie called for her mother’s attention. “I’m pretty sure they will be proud once they get back from vacation. Everything I saw from every one of your classrooms goes to show you still care for your daughters. Tomorrow is going to be your last day in the School Of Friendship and right now, Twilight's mom just wants to spread happiness with everypony.”

The teachers found Sweetie’s opinion really relatable. This is their second to last day of this week and they did almost everything for their students. After this week is over, all they can do is wait until their daughters see what they did.

“You know what, you’re right.” Cookie said with a smile on her face.

“We really need to respect Velvet’s idea.” Mrs. Shy added.

“And I’m pretty sure Windy can see something we don’t.” Pear commented.

After Twilight and Windy landed on their spot, they headed back to their friends who are still waiting for them. They still have their helmets on, with their manes completely wet.

“That was the best activity I ever had!” Windy shouted in excitement.

“See, I told you!” Twilight replied.

When the teachers saw Twilight and Windy enjoying themselves, they can see that there was nothing to worry about same goes to the other students. In order to make things right for the principal of this week, they all stand up and walk up to Twilight.

“Twilight, can we be part of this experience?” Stellar asked.

“Why not? Everyone is welcome!” Twilight cheered.

All the teachers follow the principal to where they go inside the barrels and off the waterfall. With only one more day left, they need to give their students one last impression tomorrow and their impression is what they felt this whole week.
> Farewell Party
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final day has come. All the students arrived at what could be their last time to meet their teachers this week. They knew them so well since the first day began and they did everything they could to show their support. In every class they had during the final day, they give it their all to show how great they are as students.

In Pear Butter’s class where they made fresh pies from the oven, in Cloudy’s class of making more rock figures and Mrs. Shy’s class where their plants are all done. The teachers had never been so proud of their students, the party that’s wrapping up their substitute jobs will give everything they have left.

The party is all taking place in the main hallway in the School Of Friendship. Students placed their plants in circles of four to show what they did in Mrs. Shy’s class. There's a table of different kinds of pies for any student to eat and the rock figures are placed on another table with colts and earth ponies made out of rock.

“This party is just perfect!” Twilight looking in the hallway.

“I’m still sad that this is our last day.” Mrs. Shy lowered her ears.

“Yeah. I thought I had the time to show my students how my mother learn about support.” Windy Whistles commented.

“Girls, I understand this is hard but there’s always going to be a next time.” Pear replied.

“Yeah can we just be happy that it happened?” Cloudy asked.

“Well I would expect that I never got the chance to do one class of my own. Being a counselor is less exciting than being a teacher.” Stellar Flare retorted.

“Remember Stellar, if we ever get this job again, we will allow you to be a teacher. There’s always a next time.” Cookie smiled.

The teachers would go on about this but they still need to be prepared for Twilight’s final speech. With all the time they have left, all they can do is talk to other students while giving them more advice before they leave.

Then a group from Cloudy’s class enter the hallway with a big blanket covering something from behind. Cloudy took notice as she walks up to her students.

“What’s going on?” She asked.

“This is something we had in mind after your class on Wednesday.” Silverstream placing her claws behind her back.

“After you gave us advice on making rock figures, we thought we decided to make a huge rock statue.” Star Tracker smiled.

“A rock statue?” Cloudy blinked. “But I never teach you on to make a statue sized rock.”

“That’s something we learn on our own.” Ocellus replied. “If one group can make one rock figure, then three groups can make one rock statue.”

Silverstream then pulled the blanket away to reveal the surprise she and her friends made. Once the statue is in total exposure, Cloudy Quartz couldn’t believe what she saw in her eyes. Her students made a big rock statue of herself. What surprised her is to how much detail they put on the statue, what they did on her eyes are picture perfect, the mane they did isn’t a scratch off and the whole body was something Cloudy thought was only possible on a smaller object. But her students proved her wrong.

Tears begin to appear from Cloudy’s eyes as they fall down on her face. No one, not even her family and especially her daughter Pinkie Pie would ever do this for her. A warming smile grows on her face as she gives her students a hug, something she only does for her daughters.

“Students...I don’t know what to say.” She sob.

“Other then saying thank you?” Sandbar offered.

“Thank You!”

The other teachers saw what Cloudy is doing with her students. They also notice the huge statue representing the teacher in Cloudy’s class and that was enough for them to see the point. They never thought Cloudy would ever get this kind of payoff this week of teaching. They know full well if they get this job again, Cloudy will still keep her job as a teacher in her daughter’s class.







There’s almost five minutes until the final day is officially over. Spike takes out a bell and rings it from every student’s attention.

“Everypony, there’s one more thing we’re going to do before we leave.” He flew with his wings. “Twilight Velvet is going to make one more speech after the week she and her friends gave you.” He landed and backed away to give Twilight’s mother her time for her final speech. With all the teachers looking at her students with smiles on their faces, Twilight opened her mouth and takes out everything from her voice.

“Students. This week had been nothing but extraordinary. After this week is over, you may not going to see us for a long time. We’ve given you everything we got ever since our daughters left for vacation. Planting flowers, going to Appleloosa to show what friendship is like there and showing our own kind of support in our classes. And what you give to us means much more to us then what your old teachers do. We’ve been taking good care of them that we never thought that this week would even happen. We all know how disappointed you are that it’s over but if we get another chance, this is only the beginning and I promise you we will be better than before.”

After she finished her whole speech, all the students make an applause. This week was the best week they had in the School Of Friendship in a long time. Everything their principal said is all true. After going on her field trip yesterday, they can see what Twilight’s mother really is. A prime mother who never gives up to make things great for everypony.

Twilight Velvet was never ashamed at all when she started to take over her daughter’s job as principal. She put her heart and effect to make this week perfect and it’s also thanks to her friends when they took over their daughter’s classes.

With the final minute passed by, all the students say goodbye to their favorite teachers before they leave. They hope they can see them again with so much to learn when the time comes.

As for the teachers, tutors and Spike who took over everything this week, they clean the whole main hallway. Twilight Velvet and her friends told Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to put a surprise in Twilight’s office. Once they got everything finished, they left the School Of Friendship saying their goodbyes. It was fun while it lasted, but it might return when their daughters find out about this.
> Return From Vacation
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning of Saturday came with Twilight Sparkle and her friends leaving the train station. It was a week they needed to get away from the stress and it finally paid off, but by the time they returned to Ponyville, they have to see what their mothers did this whole week.

“I am so going to be a laughing stock!” Rainbow Dash reacted in anxiety.

“Will you give it a rest?” Applejack rolled her eyes.

“It maybe since Monday that our mothers took over, but I’m pretty sure they know how to save our backs.” Fluttershy commented.

“Yeah, don’t be so dramatic.” Rarity being serious with the colt.

Rainbow Dash tries to take deep breaths but it wasn’t enough. Even if she isn’t supposed to be teaching today, she’s still concerned on what’s waiting for at the school.

Princess Twilight on the other hand had a calm week for herself. She wasn’t phased at any moment because she trusted her mother no matter what. Whenever she thought about her school back in Ponyville, there’s always hope when she plans something new before this week began.

By the time they headed back to the School Of Friendship, it was quiet, too quiet. Twilight knew Spike is staying in her castle after the teachers left yesterday so it’s no surprise he didn’t do anything special. When they enter the main hallway, Twilight know there is one place she can get all the answers, her office.

With her taking the lead along with her friends right behind her, they made it to the door where Twilight’s office is located. The Princess Of Friendship opened the door as she witnessed several flowers, a rock figure of herself, multiple photos and a letter from her mother on her desk.

“Ohhhh!” Pinkie Pie popped her head in the room. “Looks like our moms gave us a mothering surprise!” She rushed to Twilight’s desk to see what happened this whole time.

The others walk inside and their completely surprised from what their mothers did. “These flowers are beautiful.” Fluttershy smelled at one of the flowers her mother made with her students.

“Look at this.” Starlight pointed at the Twilight rock figure. “I think your mom did this.”

“Forgot that! Look at this!” Pinkie showed Starlight a photo of her mother along with her students and behind her shows a big rock statue of Cloudy. Starlight’s jaw dropped when she saw the statue in the photo.

“Your’re mom is the best!”

“I told you she is!” She hugged Starlight.

Twilight couldn’t believe that Cloudy’s students actually made a rock figure of herself and she wonders who came up with the idea.

“Well I’ll be.” Applejack looking at her mom’s photos. “Looks like my folks in Appleloosa really wants to be part of our school.” She can’t wait until she talks to Pear Butter about this once she returns to Sweet Apple Acres.

Rarity is really proud of her mother to show another step of what fashion needs. As for Rainbow Dash, when she looked at Windy’s photos. She never thought she would easily got out embarrassment from her mother like this

“My mom...showed my students about supportment?” She said to herself.

“I told you so.” Rarity giggled.

All that’s left is Twilight Velvet’s letter. Twilight takes her mother’s letter and reads it with her friends listening.


“Dear Twilight, my most precious daughter,

If only you were with me this whole time, you would have the best time with me. Your friends mothers would say the same thing, if they wrote this letter. I gave your students something you never did ever since you reopened the School Of Friendship. New ways of showing friendship in places like Appleloosa, making rock figures and so much more, your students can only hope if this ever happens again. But that’s your choice, the only thing me and my friends are concerned about is your approval. If you do so, I promise we will do way better. So better you want to see us do your jobs again.

From your caring mother
Twilight Velvet”


This made all of Twilight’s friends smile in delight. Every word from Velvet is something she would say to Twilight. As for Princess Twilight, she was more proud than she was. Her mother did a great job to make things stable when she was taking over.

“So Twilight?” Fluttershy spoke. “Do you think we can have our parents take over our teaching jobs next time?”

“Yeah, I want to see my mom did in my class.” Rainbow Dash smiled.

“Not to mention my mother is a natural.” Rarity moved her hair.

“I really want my mom to be my co teacher in cooking.” Applejack titled her hat.

“And I want my mother to have her students paint their rock figures once their done!” Pinkie Pie jumped.

“It won’t hurt if we give it another shot.” Starlight finished.

Twilight took of her friends advice with a single nod. This made all of her friends cheered in excitement. Now that her plan of vacation workout, they all decided the next time they allow their mothers to take over, they will see and join in the fun. This week was the best in the School Of Friendship in a long time, all the girls can think of what their moms are after the work they did this week, and can sum up in five important words. Teacher Mothers Of The Week.
