Let's see what the ponies of Ponyville are up too. It was a wonderful sunny day in Equestria. The colts and fillys are going to school, a big smile was placed on their face. Scootaloo hugged her moms, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash and said, "Bye.. I will miss you!" Scootaloo let go and Twilight kissed her and said, "Have a fun day at school!" Scootaloo walked to school, walked through the door, and sit on her wooden desk. She had a smile on her face. Diamond Tiara asked, "Hey.. like.. when are you gonna get a cutiemark?" Scootaloo shrugged and said, "I don't know.. but one day.. I will!" Diamond Tiara chuckled and asked, "Do you mean... NEVER?" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed. They fell on their backs and laughed, Scootaloo's smile dissolved from her face. The teacher, a purple mare with purple mane and tail asked in a curious tone, "What is going on?" One of her eyebrows were raised. The two fillys that was bullying Scootaloo were still laughing their little heads off. Scootaloo took a deep breath and said, "Diamond Tiara was making fun of me... and said I won't get my cutiemark!" Mrs. Cheerlie was upset but knows yelling and making a scene won't solve the problem, Mrs. Cheerlie took a deep breath and glared at the two fillies who were still laughing. She then scolded, "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon... bullying ponies because they do not have a cutiemark like you two... doesn't mean you can bully them... why did you bully Scootaloo?" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stopped laughing and got up and mumbled, "Uh.. Uh..." Mrs. Cheerlie said, "Bullying ponies will not benefit anyone.. now what do you say to Scootaloo?" The two fillys turned to Scootaloo and said, "Sorry.. Scootaloo!" They then walked to their desk with their heads are hung low. Mrs.. Cheerlie mumbled, "Good.. now that little dispute is done... Good Morning Class... so today we have a test today.. hope y'all are ready!" Apple Bloom was shocked, she started to sweat profusely. She then mumbled, "Oh.. ya was too busy helping Apple Jack buck dem apples!" Mrs. Cheerlie said, "It's okay... even if you fail, everypony tried their best and that's what happen plus if you are in need of a retake you can just ask me.. I am a teacher!" Apple Bloom swiped the sweat off of her forehead and said, "Phew!" Mrs. Cheerlie was handing out test while having a huge smile on her face. Everypony fetch for their pencils or pen and started writing the test. The room was silent for a while, after a hour, evreypony was done with the test.. Mrs. Cheerlie grabbed the test and started grading while the fillys and colts work on homework, reading or sleep. Twilight kissed her marefriend and said in a cheerful voice, "Bye honey.. off to work.." Rainbow Dash kissed her back and said, "Bye sweetie.. It's a good thing that overtime no longer exist.. I- I.. use to work overtime and it was soo stressful and demanding even more demanding and stressful than being a wonderbolt.. and most of what we do are tricks in the sky." Twilight chuckled and said, "Yeah!" Twilight walked away, and Rainbow Dash flew to Wonderbolts Headquarters. Pinkie Pie was working on cupcakes for Rainbow Dash's birthday tomorrow... Pinkie Pie glances at the clock, many sweats were racing down her head... The clock says 8:30am... she says, "Gee, I was working hard the last hour.. I love my job and working here in Ponyville... less working hours than before... higher income, and everypony gets promoted instead of one so eveypony has more power than the other!" Mrs. Cake entered and said, "Wow.. these cupcakes are amazing!" she said with a giant smile on her face. Pinkie Pie said, "Thanks.. I worked on these for the past hour!" Mr. Cakes said, "You are good baker... while you ARE the only baker!" Mrs. Cheerlie stood up and announced, "Well everypony.. I grade the test, you all did okay.. we do not do letter grades we give you Pass/Fail.. competition is bad and releases the worst in people! So here is your papers!" Mrs. Cheerlie grabbed the tall stack of white paper and put it on the desk of the little ponies. Diamond Tiara cheered, "Yay! I passed..." Silver Spoon said, "Same here!" The two preformed a hoofbump. Scootaloo nervously looked at the paper, her look of worry dissolved as soon as she sees what the teacher wrote in red. She gasp and her smile starts to bloom like a flower, she saw "Pass" written in red ink sitting on top part of the paper. Then the teacher said, "Okay students.. now what do you all want to learn now?" Snips raised his hoof and asked, "Can we learn about Mare Do Well.. She is a celebrity here in Ponyville?" Scootaloo said, "No! I wanna learn about Rainbow Dash, my Hero!" Mrs. Cheerlie sighed and said, "Okay... how about we.. we- hold a vote.. the topic with the most votes will be what we will learn today! so raise your hoof if you want to learn about the late Mare Do Well." Seven out of ten ponies raised their hoof. Mrs. Cheerlie counted and said, "Well 70% of you raised your hoof so it is clear that you foals want to learn about the late Mare Do Well!" At the end of the day, Every student went home, Mrs. Cheerlie went home. Scootaloo saw her moms and ran to them while yelling, "Mommy, Mommy!" She then hugged Rainbow Dash then hugged Twilight. Twilight kissed Scootaloo in her forehead and asked, "Hey Scootaloo, how was school?" Scootaloo shrugged and said, "Oh, it was fine.. kind boring.." Rainbow Dash nodded her head and said "I got to agree with ya, Scoots... school is boring... I am glad I get to voice my thought and not worry about anything!" Twilight said, "So I just remembered... you had a test.. how was it." Scootaloo cheered, "I passed... there was no number percentage.. just pass!" Twilight gasp as her pupil grow, she said, "Oh my Celestia, that is amazing, good job, Scootaloo!" Scootaloo nodded her head, the three walked home to Twilight Library. The sun was shining, the clouds were swimming on the sky. On the way there, there were some ponies protesting about something. Twilight walked up to one of the protester ponies and asked, "Hey, what is going on?" One pony, Fancy Pants raise down his pitchfork and said, "Oh, I am protesting about the college tax!" Twilight asked, "The College tax.. what is wrong with that.. if you make college free the workers of the college won't get paid and colleges will be force to shut down, plus it is only 5% of your salary!" Fancy Pants said, "Well, I don't want to give up any bits just so somepony can get a college education!" Rainbow Dash said, "Well it is better than spending thousand, and thousands of bits just to learn a skill and to have an easy life.. then going into an endless... and high debt... Even Princess Celestia felt bad for the ponies who have to pay the massive debt!" Fancy Pants said, "Whatever.." and walked away along with the other protesters. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then the three ponies go home as the sun exits the sky and waves goodbye, Princess Luna then said, "Oh sister, please... take some rest... you work so hard today!" She then yawn and said, "You're right.. today was rough.." Princess Luna then asked, "Why do you work so hard.. the ponies are strong and can take care of themselves.. when we adopted this ideology.. we promised that we will stay out of ponies lives and let them solve their problems and many other things?" Princess Celestia replied calmly, "Luna.. I am the princess.. OF EQUESTRIA, a big kingdom... I rule this place, I am just doing my best as the ruler.. of Equestria.." Princess Luna rolled her eyes, upset by the answer that Princess Celestia gave out. She appreciates the hard work that her older sister does as the ruler of Equestria but she thinks that she works too hard so hard that she, in the past was even staying up late till 3:00am just to do royal and work stuff for the kingdom of Equestria. She replied, "Relax, you are doing fine you can relax if everything wasn't well the ponies would be protesting and trying to overthrow you, overtime is terrible.. it is just companies forcing you to work more hours than you and the business agreed on and just demanding more work than the one that was completed during the work hours.. the only protest that happen was at 3:00pm and some ponies were just mad at the college tax.. not at you!" Princess Celestia gave a defeated sigh, stared at her with a tired smile, and said, "Yeah, okay sister.. I- I'll rest!" She then hung her head down as she enters her bedroom and went to sleep, a smile was visible on her face. Princess Luna said, "I had a nice beauty sleep... time to get to work.. maybe.. if I have no work left.. I can eat some ice-cream!" she says as her mouth was watering of the thought of eating the tasty, and frozen treat. She then closed her eye and her horn started to glow blue, the giant, white ball which is the moon raises up into the sky. The moon reached the top of the sky. Then Luna said, "Okay, the hard part was done.. time for the fun part... going into other ponies dreams.." Scootaloo stretches as she is getting ready for school. She then said, "Oh boy, today was amazing.. years ago, I would have been so stress and it would take me until 3:00am to finish all my homework.. but now.. there is NO homework!" Scootaloo quickly glances at the glass of hot, steamy milk that was sitting on her lamp-desk. She grabs it and chugs it down slowly and carefully. She then places the glass down and puts it back on the lamp-desk. She then lays on the bed and grabs her thick, purple blanket. She then dragged it to where she was laying and doze to sleep. A warm smile can be seen on her face. Pinkie Pie has a serious, and sweating look on her face. She then mumbles, "Careful, careful... almost there.." Mr. Cake slams the door open and yells in a cheerful tone, "Pinkie, it is 8:00pm... time to go home! you can stop working!" He then opens his eyes and sees Pinkie on a thin, wooden ladder trying to place a single red, juicy, and cheap strawberry on top of a eight-layer cake for the wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Cake! He said, "Pinkie... are you okay?" which he said in a concerned and worried tone. Pinkie Pie was sweating profusely, Pinkie Pie said, "No... I want to put this strawberry on top of this cake but this cake is so freaking tall! and this ladder is very unstable!" Mr. Cake yelled in an angry tone, "Get down there, the ladder is dangerous and can cause you to fall and hurt yourself.. Here let me take care of this!" Pinkie got down from the ladder with a strawberry on her hooves. She then said, "How can we solve this problem?" Mr. Cake said, "Climb on my shoulders, then I will stand on my hind legs which could be tall enough to reach the top of that cake.. then you place the strawberry, then you go home... there is no overtime! that is illegal!" Pinkie Pie nodded her head and climb on Mr. Cake's shoulders. he muttered, "Okay.. 3..2...1!" He then stand on his hind legs while groaning and sweating. Pinkie Pie gently threw the red strawberry onto the cake which landed perfecting between the two figurines of Mr. and Mrs. Cake. She yelled, "Yay, we did it!" Mr. Cake stop standing on his two hind legs and now stand in four of his hooves. He said, "You know that they say Pinkie, teamwork is the best work!" Pinkie Pie said, "Just.. like how when I worked together with my friends... we manage to defeat those meanies like Discord, and Nightmare Moon!" Mr. Cake nodded his head. Pinkie Pie said, "Good Bye" and went upstairs and went to sleep, resting her head on the comfortable, white pillow that was holding her head. It was morning, the sun was rising and the moon was stepping down. Scootaloo got up and said, "Good morning!" She then went to the bathroom, brush her teeth, and ran to school. After an hour, every filly and colt has arrived to school. Mrs. Cheerlie said, "Colleges acceptance rates are 50% to make it fair for everypony... and it's free, so if decide to go to college next year.. you don't have much to worry about!" Every student in the room cheered. Mrs. Cheerlie said, "There are several colleges and school for y'all... like the famous.. School of Friendship!" In a hospital, there was a young mare who was giving birth. She was yelling in pain, trying to push the foal out of her body. After a sheer two minutes, the mare manages to get the foal out and starts sweating. sweat starts racing down her head. The doctor said, "Congrats, you have gave birth to a wonderful, beautiful, and healthy filly. Now don't worry you have health insurance and healthcare is free so don't worry about spending more than what you have for your delivery." The mare was sitting on a huge, queen sized, and amazing bed, a stallion, holds the healthy filly. He says, "She looks so amazing!" The doctor smiled and asked, "What are you going to name her?" The stallion said, "Maybe... um... Jelly.." The Doctor write down the name of the filly on the birth certificate. THe doctor said, "Hey before you and the filly go.. it is required by law that that the babies gets vaccinated for several diseases..." Derpy asked in a confused tone, "Oh, why?" The doctor sighed, rolled his eyes and said, "So that later they do not get diseases like.. chicken pox, small pox, and many other diseases.. trust me... I had chicken pox and it was NOT fun!" Derpy distraught said, "Okay!" After a series of vaccinations, the vaccinations were finished, the doctor dismissed them and they were able to go home. Then there was a pony, Frost Breeze who was standing behind a stand. She yelled, "Free Icecream!" Derpy said, "Ooh, Ice-cream... I was hungry after all that.." They go up to the stand and buy icecream, one vanilla and one hazelnut.
