Unforeseen Consequences - A new group, an old problem

>After Aegia and you walked through the snow covered streets of Canterlot and arrived to the caste, your friend said her goodbyes, making you promise to not do any other escapade…at least not for tonight.
>You headed to your room, locked the door, took your necklace and coat off and got onto your bed…your head was filled with thoughts… about Starlight…
>First, let’s start off with Starlight, whatever she was doing, it was suspicious enough as to draw the attention of Aegia, Moonlight, your mothers, and to make Pinkie Pie uncomfortable enough as to have doubts about that reformation deal.
>First of all, everything that you have heard about Twilight Sparkle points out that she’s quite insistent, you have seen the amount of letters that she usually sends to your mother.
>Not everyone has Celestia’s patience, so it can be logical that Rarity, Applejack and RD simply have gotten tired of that subject, while Twilight probably brings it up at every opportunity
>But for Pinkie Pie and maybe Fluttershy? That’s something that you will have to investigate a little further, even if that means spending more time with the pink tornado and… well, you actually don’t mind hanging out with Fluttershy.
>In fact, you remember that you never did that picnic…hmm, what kind of sandwiches would that yellow Pegasus like? Maybe cucumber sandwiches? You could ask your mothers to come too, they were easy to deduce, blueberry jam for Luna and tomato sandwiches for Celestia, maybe you could also bring Eris…
>And you are getting derailed, COME ON! This is not the time! Okaaaaay… focus…
>You will have to ask Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy about their thoughts on Starlight and Twilight, because it IS suspicious that these talks have put in jeopardy the friendship of the elements of harmony.
>But why? What could Starlight possibly be planning? But remember, you ARE a scientist at heart, so that’s not the only scenario that is possible.
 >After all, there’s a possibility that Starlight is true about her intentions and Twilight is just doing her very best to prove that and show everyone that Glimmer has learned the value of friendship.
>The question for that best case scenario, was why…why would Starlight even do that and why would she drop her ideals about absolute order in the form of equality in favor of redemption...
“*Yawn*”
>You…were getting tired…but before you get to sleep…and see the surprise that your dear mother Luna had for you…
“*Yawn*”
>You had two ponies to worry about…one was Starlight Glimmer…what was she planning, if she was planning anything at all and why
>And the other was that other Anon… it has been quite some time since he attacked Cherrywood…but…
“Yawn”
>But it was still worrying…sure, the possibility of a misunderstanding was feasible but…BUT THAT DIDN’T JUSTIFY WHAT HE DID! But… but Discord said that if he ever comes back, then he would personally take care of that guy… so that jerk is screwed
>In retrospective…what kind of miserable little pony beats up a girl and then forcefully kisses her when she’s unconscious? That is just…wrong…wrong and creepy…that Anon probably was a creepy jerk…and not very smart to boot…
>You close your eyes and let yourself being lost into your dreams…
“Mate…this is just… I can’t...whoa”
>When you opened your eyes again, you weren’t in your room, or in Equestria for that matter. No, you were in the dreamscape, where everything was possible, and the very first proof for that was the landscape itself that was being presented to you
>An unnaturally beautiful navy blue sky with an impossibly big and bright moon was above you, purple and violet clouds covered the shining stars that felt so close that you could touch them
>On the ground you saw a mountain chain far into the distance, extending for miles and miles, each mountain shining with gold on the top and jade on the bottom.
>A powerful river divided the majestic mountains, roaring powerful with its silver waters and ending in a gigantic lake that was so calm and peaceful that could very well be a gigantic and beautiful mirror.
>A beautiful plain extended all over, with creatures jumping around in the tall grass and getting lost in the dark and mysterious forest that protected the mountain’s base from anyone who dared to disturb their natural balance.
>Strange, yet enticing creatures flew above you, batting their long and imposing wings, announcing their arrival with a thundering screech.
>Near of your position, you saw a mildly sized pond, fireflies hovering above its pristine waters, close of it, almost as if it was meant to add a whimsical touch to the majestic scenery, a gigantic red mushroom towered above everything that was nearby, serving as a resting spot for your mother Luna, who was waiting for you with a smile.
>”Took you long enough my child, I almost thought that you weren’t sleeping on purpose” Your mother gracefully extends her wings and flies down, landing with such perfection that you felt a little adoration for her “But alas, I suppose that it was just a case of insomnia, which wouldn’t be surprising considering how much candy you ate at the party…and your little escapade…”
>Those last words made you stop dead in your tracks, you can’t help but to give your mother an awkward smile and laugh nervously
“O-Oh! So you knew about that too! I-I suppose that I’m not as good at being stealthy as I thought and…wait, I thought that you were going out with the girls”
>Luna shakes her head and rolls her eyes “That was the plan, but none of them except for Moonlight could kept up with me, in fact, Rarity and Rainbow Dash had to stay at the castle, but oh well…” your mom lets out a giggle “Moonlight and Aegia will have their free night…all paid by the element of loyalty”
“Aww sheesh, I told RD to not play cards…but eh, if she was that stubborn, then I guess that she will have to bear with another of eating nothing but cheap noodles….b-but, hey! We are getting derailed! I do that well enough on my own! Tell me mom, what is this place or…err…dream?”
>Your mom walks past you and to the pond, where she lies on her belly and gently touches the crystal clear waters, making gently waves that in turn made a couple of rainbow colored fish to jump out in in glee. Then your mom gently turns to you with a bright smile on her face ”Do you like it?”
>You nod frantically, admiring the fantastical, whimsical and other worldly beauty
“Like it? Nah… I love it, I absolutely adore it! Whose dream is it?”
>”Mine…” Your mom replies with a gentle tone “And before you say “really” like every young foal these days tends to do, yes, this is really the landscape that reigns over my dreams”
“Well mom… if this is the surprise that you wanted to give me, then you certainly accomplished your mission, I mean, I have seen some stuff, and even more since I got to live in Equestria, but this?! This honestly is something else, I suppose that this is why you protect everyone’s dreams, yours are simply above any other dream”
>”Well, I’m happy that you liked it, my little star…” Luna gives you a smirk, immediately after that, a little star costume appears on you
“H-Hey!”
>”Oh, I’m sorry!” Your mom laughs “It’s just that you are sooo adorable in that costume, and look!” Luna stomps her hooves on the ground in joy “You even poofed your cute, little cheeks!”
“Oh, come on! We have been over this! I’m not cute, I’m handsome! What would everyone think if you call me cute when I grow up?”
>”I thought that you didn’t care about such things, my little star…” Your mom grins “Besides, you might be ten or thirthy, or even 30,000 years old, but you will always be “cute” for your mother”
>You roll your eyes and groan, making your mom giggle
>”You are simply adorable, but…” Luna clears her throat, and gets a more…serious look “There’s a reason why I wanted to show you this, my little star…”
>You raise an eyebrow but didn’t reply, waiting for your mother to continue with her explanation
>”You see, this landscape that you see, well…I haven’t had dreams as pleasant as this since…” Your mom looks up to the sky, and you too…and you notice that a mare silhouette appears on the moon for a split second “Since way before THAT happened…”
>You didn’t had to ask why…Nightmare Moon was certainly something that must have hit hard with your mother, especially being trapped in the moon for a thousand years
“That long, huh?”
>”Yeah…” Your mom stares at the moon with a melancholic feel “I really don’t want to go into detail about how my dreams used to be like, because they are in the past… they are before I got you, my little star…”
>You make an awry smile and sigh
“I suppose that you don’t have to worry anymore about that, right?”
>Your mom nods “That is right…and I know that you are not dumb, I’m sure that my little star must be wondering about why I brought him to my dream, am I correct?”
>You nod
“It crossed my mind…but then I saw this amazing landscape and I kinda…well… forgot”
>”You really have become more scatter brained, my little star…” Luna giggles and pulls you in for a hug, nuzzling her muzzle into your mane “But I don’t mind, it is cute and you are still the most intelligent foal that I’ve ever met. As for my reason to bring you into my dream, well…”
“Well?”
>Luna sighs and hugs you a little tighter “You remember the thematic of your party, right?”
>You nod
“Yup, it was a welcome to Equestria thingy, kinda late considering that I’ve been here for some time now”
>”Yes, you have been graced us for months now, but still…” Luna nuzzles into your mane once more “That still got my thinking…about our time together…and about our future as a family…”
>You raise an eyebrow and nuzzle a little into Luna’s chest
“Oh? Did you remember that photo of me graduating and how HANDSOME I looked?”
>Luna gives you a playful smile as she lies on her back with you resting on her belly ”You mean cute” she boops your muzzle, making your face to scrunch “And yes, I thought about the future, I thought about you graduating and becoming a prince for everypony in Equestria to look up to, about us sharing your first glass of wine, about you marrying with a fine mare and having foals of your own…and…and for the first time in centuries, I look forward to the future with a smile on my face and hope in my heart”
“Well…I don’t know if I will be able to be an example for all the ponies…but I will try…I suppose that I’m not longer scared about being called a prince, it just makes me nervous sometimes because, well…I don’t know if I’m good enough…b-but! Don’t worry! Because I promise you that I will do my very best to fulfill everyone’s expectations…no…I will surpass everyone’s expectations on me! I will do my best, every day, just like you and mom Celestia does! That’s a promise!”
 >”And I’m sure that is a promise that you will be able to deliver on, just as you said, you will have to work very hard, but worry not my little star…” Luna gently rubs her nose with yours “Because your mothers will be right behind you, supporting you with all our love at every step of the way…”
>You can’t help but to hug Luna with all your strength, nuzzling your face into her chest
“Thanks mom! That’s all I needed to hear…I love you”
>”And I love you too, my little star…” Luna hugs you tighter and nuzzles her muzzle onto your mane “I love you more than anything else in this world…” your mum giggles and hugs you even more “And I love you more than anything in Equestria…”
>The two of you spent a good amount of time chatting to each other about your daily lives while resting at the giant mushroom’s base…and as pleasant as that was, it eventually had to end.
>You woke up well past your now usual time of 5:00 a.m. Thank the heavens that RD must have a mighty hangover and Moonlight and Aegia spent all night partying.
>You got breakfast with your moms, eventually Rarity and RD joined too, and yes…you could see the effects of the cider, their eyes were bloodshot, manes were a complete mess, their fur lacked color and overall…well, you knew pretty well what a hangover felt like…
>But as amusing as the idea of teasing a completely rekt RD was…you had school. So you went to your room, grabbed your necklace, put on your coat along with your saddlebag and left for school while your mothers got to work…
>As you walked through the snow covered streets of Canterlot, you started to think about your plan for today…
>Yes, Starlight was worrying…a lot…like a whole lot…like not getting paid for the second month in a row lot…geez, those guys at administration were a bunch of…hmmm… it is curious about who you stopped cursing even in your thoughts…
>Like seriously, saying all of those cuss words that you spouted left and right in your past life now seems…icky…you didn’t even think about that frickin’ giant soap bar that Discord used to threaten you with…it was just the fact that even thinking with those mean words felt…kinda…uncouth.
>Now that you think about it, Eris doesn’t curse anymore, heck, as far as you were aware of, she hasn’t said a single curse a since she got to Equestria, and when she was Catherine Curtis, that gal surely liked her course words…
>You wonder if that other Anon also stopped coursing…eh whatever, that guy was a jerk, you didn’t have any bad intentions against him, that was for Cherrywood who was still salty about losing that fight
>But you wouldn’t say that you hated him…just that you were suspicious of that suspicious pony, but more than anything, you wondered how Scrappy was doing… man, you really, really need to see that little guy again.
>It’s not like you didn’t care about that other Anon, after all, he probably was you, or probably was another human who shared the same name with you…it’s just that…eeeeh… Every time you thought about him, you reached the same conclusions:
>His activities with the changelings were suspicious but you couldn’t draw a decisive argument as if he was actually planning to do something bad with them or he just got caught in one of Discord’s shenanigans.
>That Anon is a massive jerk, that was also something easy to conclude…and must surely…he probably wasn’t very smart either…but…meh… as long as he doesn’t hurt anyone else anymore… you wish him well…
>You wonder if that Anon just like you, has stopped using curse words… and yeah, you don’t can’t see how he could keep cursing if he was close to the changeling Queen and Discord. Yup, a “sacrifice” that you were sure that he had to made too, albeit for probably different reasons than you.
>But if he ever laid a single hoof on your girl ever again, then he would have to face the consequences of his actions, luckily for you, you knew that Discord backed you up with that, and after the party, maybe Eris too.
>And Cherrywood hasn’t gotten stale either, she has been training like crazy under her mom’s guidance… may the heavens have mercy on the poor fool who picks a fight with her, because your bat surely won’t.
>And…and…you got derailed again…awww man, you were supposed to think on your plan for the day! Now you were like, two blocks away from your school!
>Okay, okay! Time to backtrack! You were talking about Cherrywood, then that jerk Anon, then Starlight…uuuuhm…oh yeah! Your plan for today! No, you were already there…okay! What were you supposed to do at school today?
>Aaaaaahm….eeeeeehh…Oh yeah! You were nominated as the candidate for your class to be school president! Yes! Okay, those two jerks of Starlight and the dumb Anon are something to worry about, BUT, this was also a matter to take care of with all the seriousness of the world…
>Man, you forgot to ask Discord if he could open a portal so you could see Scrappy again and maybe meet the cutie mark crusaders of that dimension…NO! Serious, winning the election was a serious matter!
>Right, right, righty-oh! So, where did you left off with that? Hmmm…right, you don’t know anything about anything about your school…
>So first order of the day was to change that, and how you were going to do that, asked no one? Well, that is… not easy, you will have to work hard on this one…
>Yeah, your handsome face might be in every newspaper and magazine thanks to your status as the new prince or whatever, but that doesn’t means that you have the election on the bag, in fact, you don’t want to.
>You have accepted your title, yes, but you also have to take the responsibility that it requires. You want to be a good leader like your mothers, not a lazy, arrogant slob like Blueblood
>But you also have to start with coherence and as Applejack says, not “bite more than what you can chew” so, first of all, you need to unite the fifth grade, because based on your adorable classmates’ words, there was a lot of bad blood between the two groups.
>Aaaaand, here you are, at the gates of the Celestia’s school for…whatever, you know, there’s nothing wrong with having your mom’s name in the name of school, but seriously,”Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns” was simply too long…and lame…you are just calling it your school…
>Disregarding the honestly bad name, you enter to your dear school, you were on time today so you didn’t hurry, and best thing of all, that idiot of Ruffle Truffle was nowhere to be seen…
>But the moment you enter your classroom “Mr. Anon, what a pleasant surprise to see that you have actually paid attention to my words for once…” Uggh… Sunny Hill “Now please take your seat, since today everypony is actually on time, we can start with the class early today…then…”
>You notice Sunny Hill’s disgusted face…and you can’t help but to give a smug grin to her as you comfortably take your seat
“Then we can continue planning how we are going to achieve victory with the elections, right? Don’t worry my oh, so dear teacher, as I told my beautiful friends yesterday, I will do my best to be the best school president that this school has ever seen!”
>”Yesss….whoopee-doo…” Sunny Hill rolls her eyes and clears her throat “Moving on…” she grows “I suppose that we can focus today’s efforts on continuing with our “class project” is everypony okay with that?”
>At this point you should be used to that, but truth to be told, you always loved when your class erupted into cheers just like they did right now
>Gale Breeze, Come Trail, Melodica and all of your classmates gathers around you, all asking the same question “What are we going to do now?”
>You look at your classmates with a confident smile on your face, rest on your seat and calmly reply
“Well my beautiful friends, the plan is simple, we win over the school and we start with the other fifth grade group”
>The answer from your classroom was immediate, a collective “awwwww” came from your adorable classmates, and the disappointment was clear in their faces.
>Except for Sunny Hill who let out a snort as she was reading a book “My, oh my, it seems that you are really off for a great start, Mr. Anon.”
>Gale Breeze sits at your right…and she was uncomfortable close ”Are you suuuuuure about this? Like, are you really suuuuure about this?” the little filly asked with a tone that didn’t exactly suggested confidence.
>You take off from your seat and walk around your classmates, holding a stern look on your face
“Quite sure, you see my lovelies. I can see your faces, and well…I know that you are not feeling really confident about this, but please trust me, we need to do this, we have to know the school, I have to know the ponies that study here, and I can’t be a proper leader if I don’t know at least that”
>Comet Trail chimes in, holding a small notepad and a quill with her pink magic aura ”But there are other groups in our school, in fact there are several other grades that goes from the little foals in k-12 to those…unpleasant sixth graders. We can go with them instead of those…ugh…fillies from the B group”
>Melodica chimes in, agreeing with her friends  ”Yeaaaah…I don’t wanna be mean but…yeaaaaah… those fillies aren’t really ponies that I would call “nice””
>”Yeah, like, oh my gosh, they are sooooo lame”
>”And they are always mean to us”
>”Pffft! Of course they are, they are jealous!”
>”Yeah! They are jealous that we are the smartest!”
>”And we are cuter than them!”
>”And they are jealous that we have the Prince….I mean….just look at him…”
>Alright, you can deduce a few things from here. The first one was that obviously, there was a lot of bad blood between the two groups
>And the second, that other fifth grade group was probably like this one, that is, it was made entirely or mostly of fillies. This could give you some ideas about what problems they might have…
>But as Cherrywood always tells you, it is better to ask than to be a dummy who makes dumb assumptions.
>But first, you need to calm down the animosity that your classmates were feeling, mostly because it was starting to annoy you how much they badmouthed their schoolmates.
>You look at Comet Trail, then to Gale Breeze and finally to your whole group with disapproval and raise your voice.
“That is enough! I am going to talk to the group B and it is final!”
>That of course made your adorable classmates to shut up. They never expected you to actually talk to them like that…
>You narrow your eyes at them and grab a chair with your magic, taking a seat on it.
“I seriously can’t believe your attitude! Seesh…I am supposed to be the candidate that was nominated by the fifth grade, right? Yes, that’s right, so even when it’s all official, considering that the principal knows about this…”
>You can’t help but to give Sunny Hill a smug grin when you said that part, making her red with anger but limiting herself to bury her wrinkled face on the book that she was “reading”.
“I believe that we at the very least, owe that other group the courtesy as to inform them about the news…listen, it is clear to me that you don’t like them very much, and probably they don’t like you either…but please, we have to do this together, if we can’t unite as a fifth grade, then what hope do we have when it comes to win the other grades?”
>You stand up and go to Sunny Hill’s desk, looking at the old mare with determination…and some disgust…
“Miss Sunny Hill…”
>The old mare gives you the same disgusted look that you gave her as she handles you a hallway pass “I know, Mr. Anon, just take the pass and go and do your thing…” Sunny Hill then looks at the class “The rest of us, I have thought of a wonderful surprise activity for today! And no, this isn’t an exam, it is related to heartwarming eve!”
>”But, Miss Sunny Hill, what about me?” Gale Breeze asks when she realizes that the old teacher only handed to you one pass.
>”What about you my dear? Oh…” Sunny Hill gasps in false surprise “Do you mean why I didn’t gave you a hallway pass?”
>Gale Breeze shyly nods
>Sunny Hill gave the poor white filly a condescending smirk as the old mare started to walk to the chalkboard ”Well my dear, that job is for the candidate to do alone…”
>Gale Breeze follows the old mare, pleading in a much more reserved manner that you knew her from ”B-but I’m the campaign manager a-and…”
>”That will be enough, Miss Breeze!” Sunny Hill raises her voice, her tone was stern, enough to make the poor filly to shut up “I already said my reasons, now go back to your seat unless you want to write an essay on the decay of the three tribes that led to the wendigo crisis!”
>”Y-yes M-Mis Sunny Hill!” Gale Breeze lowers her head in defeat and goes to her seat, but not before looking at you with such a sad face…
>You give her a reassuring smile and a pat on the back
“Don’t worry Gale, listen, I know that you are worried, but come on, it’s me who we are talking about, and yes, I’m not going to do as well without my lovely campaign manager, buuuut…I’m sure that I’ll be fine. Now, go to your seat and drop that sad face, after all, I will need you in the best of spirits for when I come back and plan out next step, understand?”
>The small filly smiles…and blushes deeply before running back to her seat and telling her friends that you called her “lovely”.
>You wonder…if sometimes you overdo it with the niceness towards the fillies…nah…you can’t overdo niceness, just look at your mothers…nah, you were sure that this was just fine.
>On the meantime, you prepare for what will be surely be a little trip across the hallways, you didn’t know the layout of the school that well, meaning that you didn’t know where the 5-B class was.
>Thank goodness for the pass, because if you saw Ruffle Truffle you could shove it down his throat and forget about his little idiotic antics…yeah…no…just showing him the pass would be fine, you didn’t want to get reported on beating the “special minded” kid of the school…especially the one that seemed to be the little star when it came to sports.
>You step out of the classroom and go to…the classroom that was labeled 5-B…which was in front of yours…yeah…what a trip…
>Before you knock on the door, you do a last check on what you might find on the other side. The groups weren’t on the best of terms. Your classmates called these other fillies jealous and mean…
>So there was the possibility that behind that door, you would encounter a bunch of jerks who are probably the worst class in school…okay…now you were being dumb and making dumb assumptions…
>But…eh…you know…let’s end this before you start getting derailed, as your drunken friends used to say “whatever happens, happens” and that was a perfect occasion to go with that mentality.
>You take a deep breath and arm yourself with courage as you knock on that door...and the pony who opens it…noooo… nooo it can’t be! Eris must have drugged you or something! This had to be a joke!
“T-Twilight?”
>”Oh, Hi there Anon!” The purple princess waves her hoof at you, giving you a cheerful smile “Uuuhm…This isn’t your class, right? Soooo, what can I do for you?”
>You were completely baffled by this. What was she doing here?! She was supposed…unless…oh, come on!
“Twilight, aren’t you supposed to be the Princess of Friends or something?”
>”Friendship, actually, it is quite different Anon” Twilight adopts a more…teacher-like look “You see, it is my duty to spread what friendship means, it’s values and the magic that comes with it. What you just said, weeeell…” Twilight rubs the back of her neck “It kinda makes it sound as if I decide what pony can be friend with somepony else, and that is not what friendship is, not at all, you see-“
>You slap your face and groan
“Yeah, yeah! I get it! What I meant was if you were supposed to be a Princess, why you are working as a teacher here?!”
>”Oh!” Twilight exclaims in surprise “Well…Actually, I’m not the teacher of this class or a teacher of this school for that matter”
>You tilt your head backwards and give Twilight an annoyed look
“Then what are you doing here?”
>”The real teacher of this class is an old friend of mine, and this week she’s teaching “the science of friendship”” Twilight lets out an excited giggle by that “sooooo she asked me if I could come and help her as a special guest, and of course I wasn’t going to let an opportunity like this to go away! Just imagine how much I can teach the young foals of this school about friendship!”
>Well, it was cute to see her so excited that she was stomping her hooves on the ground…and Twilight certainly was a pony that you could never get tired to look at…but…you had work to do…
“Twilight, I’m happy to see you, this was a pleasant surprise, really, but… could you please call the teacher of this class? I kinda have something to tell to this group and it’s important.”
>”Oh…right...” Twilight giggles and pokes your chest with her right front hoof “Is it related to that school president thing that your mother told me about?”
>You nod and…giggle…that poking actually was kinda ticklish
“Yeaaah…I-I mean”
>You clear your throat and give Twilight a serious look
“That is correct ma’am, that’s why I need you to get this class’s teacher so I can talk to the fillies of this group”
>Twilight giggles once more and nods “Aright, I will tell Lemon Hearts, just wait here Mr. Prince President!” With a final giggle, Twilight enters the classroom and closes the door
>What all that about? You weren’t that cute! And Twilight kept threatening you like if you were just a small kid! The nerve of her! At least…at least she didn’t bring up anything about Starlight Glimmer…yeah, that was at least something…
>After a few minutes, a yellowish mare with a soft blue mane and velvety eyes opens the door…yeah, this wasn’t very cute…you guess that not everyone can be a winner…
>”Oh my, Twilight was right! You are simply adorable!” The yellow unicorn cheerfully exclaims as she stomps her hooves on the ground “Just look at your cute mane! And your cute eyes and Oh my gooosh! Your cute cheeks!”
>You take a step back and clear your throat. Speaking in a serious tone
“Ma’am, first of all, I’m not cute, I’m handsome. There’s a difference. And secondly…are you the teacher of this class?”
>”Huh?” The mare suddenly stops, as if she just got back to this plane of existence “Oh that’s right! Where are my manners!” she giggles “Yes, that is right! My name is Lemon Drops, and I’m the humble teacher of this class! And you must be Anon, right?”
>You nod, giving Lemon Drops a confident smile
“That is correct ma’am, I suppose that Twilight also must have told you the reason why I am here. Am I correct?”
>”What? Oh no!” Lemon Drops happily shakes her head “She just told me that the pony that knocked at the door wasn’t looking for her, but instead he was looking for me! Can you believe it! Nopony ever looks for me! Or my class…” her cheerful mood drops for a second before getting up again “But that doesn’t matter! At least Princess Twilight was kind enough to come and give us this… ehhh … interesting? Yes! Interesting talk about friendship! Did you come to hear it too?”
>You tilt your head in confusion…that was a lot of info…so let’s take it from the top
“Miss Drops…first of all, no, I’m not here to hear Twilight’s conference on friendship, and secondly, if she didn’t tell you that I was here, then… and well… excuse me if I sound rude but… how did you know my name?”
>”You kidding?” Lemon Drops gives you a little smirk “Your cute little face is plastered all over the newspapers, you are the talk of the school AND… well… do you remember that odd carnival? The one that had all those crazy light shows going on? I was there, and I saw you giving that awesome speech!”
“Thanks Miss Drops, but…”
>The yellow mare pats your head “Lemme tell you, with skills like that, you should consider on running for school president next year, unleeeess…”
“But…”
>Lemmon Drops lowers her head and whispers into your ear “Don’t tell anypony that I said this, but there’s a rumor going that maybe, juuuuust maaaybeee, this year ponies from fifth grade will be able to nominate a candidate of their own. Isn’t. That. Awesomeeeee?”
>You take a step back and look at Lemon Drops somewhat annoyed
“Miss Drops! That’s why I am here! I’m one of the candidates that are running for this year election! And I came here to speak to your class!”
>Lemon Drops lets out a small gasp ”Oh…” and then she giggled and waved her hoof dismissively “Then why you didn’t say so, you silly-hilly!” The yellow mare takes a step to her right and motions at you to step inside the classroom “Come in! Come in! This will be wonderful! First Princess Twilight and now the heir of Princess Luna and Princess Celestia comes to my class! This is sooo great! YAY!”
>You can’t help but to chuckle at that mare’s enthusiasm as you step inside the classroom…and the first thing that you saw was…
>Well, that one of your deductions was actually right, this class was made of fillies in its entirety, counting… one … four … 17 … oh, would you look at that? There were 24 fillies here, just like in your class…
>But unlike your own classroom, this one seemed a bit more… vibrant… there were drawings and photos plastered all over the walls, unlike your classroom that had diplomas and posters with information about Starswirl’s discoveries or whatever…
>Like yeah, this one had some educational stuff, but for the most part…it was photos of these fillies paying with each other, being together with their teacher in different activities like picnics, competitions and the like…
>There was a huge banner displayed above the chalkboard. The message “Be happy! You are with friends!” was written on it, and adorned with glitter and stickers of different shapes and forms.  Hoof marks were placed all over the letters, and just like the message, they were painted in different colors.
>The one thing that this classroom shared with your own, was that the fillies were seated at big, circular tables…but even then… this whole place felt much more… welcoming and friendly than your classroom.
>Twilight was at the front of the class, using diagrams to illustrate her explanation about-
>Wait a moment…Hold on a second! What in the world were those diagrams?! “The equations of friendship!” Was the title that was being displayed….
>And…while you don’t say curses anymore…this…this aberration! Deserved this question! WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT?! You don’t use simple algebra equations to explain something like honesty!
>Holy mother of math! Was she…Yeah, she was! SHE TOTALLY WAS GRAPHING –sin y as cos x! But Why?! And why was she implying that lambda is equal to that fish symbol?!
>THIS IS WORSE THAN SPIKE BEING CALLED A DRAGON! THAT PURPLE CUCK IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MUTATED LIZARD! NOT A MOTHERFUCKING DRAGON, YO!
>No…nonononononono….don’t….get….derailed….focus Anon…focuuuuuuus….AAAAAAAAARGH! JUST IGNORE THAT ABOMINATION THAT TWILIGHT CALLS MATH AND DO YOUR WORK!
>You turn to the fillies, hoping that their poor minds hasn’t been corrupted by these lies but… everyone seemed on the brink of a coma, that is to say, every single filly in the room were bored out of her mind…
>They weren’t paying attention… good… oh thank the heavens! Oh dear…maybe they were a little TOO bored… a fly landed on the eye of one of the fillies…and she didn’t even flinch… maybe…the term “dying of boredom” is an actual danger when it comes to Twilight’s classes…
>…Thank the heavens that you had Moon Dancer as a tutor…
>You take a few moments to calm yourself as Lemon Drops explains to Twilight if there was nothing wrong with a brief interruption to her class
>You could see some hesitation in Twilight’s as she awkwardly rubs the back of her neck and nods ”Well…uuuhh…sure, I don’t have a problem with that…I guess…but what about your students? Won’t they get mad that-“
>”No!” The class responds in unison
>”Let that cutie over there to speak!”
>”No more please! No more!”
>”Hey, isn’t that the Prince?”
>”Nah, he’s too young and totally not the captain of the Royal Guard…”
>”She’s not talking about Shining Armor, you knucklehead! Ugh! Don’t you ever pay attention?”
>”Heeeeey! She’s not a knucklehead, you bimbo brain! She’s just a bit slow…”
>”What-eh-ver! That is like, totally the Prince and stuff, I never forget a cute face and his is like suuuper cute…”
>”More like handsome, and how could you forget his face when is in every single magazine?!”
>”Very well!” Lemon Drops claps her front hooves together “Class, we are taking a small break!”
>Very much like your own classroom, this one exploded into cheers by the news…and you could see a very grumpy Twilight taking a seat and going over her notes…
>Lemon Drops motions you come close to her, order that you comply…
>”Class, I know that some of you might know who the handsome colt that is standing by my side is, but, why don’t we let him to introduce himself?” Lemon Drops then gives you the A-OK to talk…
>Okay Anon… you can do this…you have to talk to this group and win them over…
“Hello ladies! My name is Anon, I come from the other fifth grade group and the reason why I am here, is because I bring great news with me!”
>”Ooooh great!” One of the fillies exclaims with annoyance, her fur was brown, mane was black and eyes were green like the greener grass “Did you come here just so you can rub another achievement from the A group? Get looooost!”
>That… certainly wasn’t expected…
>You shake your head and give the filly a confident smile
“Not exactly, you see, I was nominated as the fifth grade candidate for the school presidency, and I came here to talk to you, so you know, let all of you know about the news in hope that I can count on your vote!“
>Another filly interrupts you, this one had blue fur with a blonde mane ”Oh puh-lease! You are just a Meany who came to brag…. Pffft! Like if we needed a reminder! You guys always win everything!”
>You again shake your head…
“No, I really didn’t come for that, as I said, as the fifth grade candidate-“
>You see a small filly orange filly, with a long mane of the same color, and hilariously big glasses raised her hoof, wanting to ask you a question
“Yes? What is it?”
>You reply with some annoyance
>”Oh! Thanks!” The little filly giggles “I was just wondering, you keep saying that you are the fifth grade candidate but…uhhhm…who exactly elected you?”
“My group, of course, we won the right to place our own candidate in this year’s election, and I was honored by winning the nomination-”
>”Oh…it’s just that…” the orange filly with the glasses speaks again “Nopony asked us…”
“Oh well, that’s because-“
>”That’s because we don’t matter for anypony in this school!” The brown filly raised her voice
>You let out an annoyed groan and shake your head once more
“No, it’s not because of that! Listen, there’s this thing called a “system”, yes? And this “system” traditionally just let the sixth graders to run for president. But you see since my group did so many things with such excellency, the “system” decided that it was fair to give the fifth grade a chance, and gave the privilege to my group to name our candidate, and that candidate happens to be me, is that clear?”
>”Yeah, it is clear that you guys just came to brag like the jerks you are!” the blue filly replies
>And with that reply, the whole classroom followed
>”Yeah, you are just a jerk like the sixth graders!”
>”And like that other group!”
>”Uh-Huh! You guys just came to brag about who we are dumb and you are soo cool!”
>More and more fillies started to protest with similar arguments like that… Lemon Drops was trying to calm her class down, but it was all for naught…and you… you didn’t know what to do…
>Until you looked at Twilight, who motioned you to follow her outside…
>The two of you stepped outside the classroom while Lemon Drops did her best to regain the control of her class…
>You were frustrated, annoyed, angry and… more frustrated!
>You walk in circles, breathing heavily and stomping your hooves on the ground
“Argh! What is their problem?! I did just want to talk to them! Why they wouldn’t listen?! Meh, maybe Gale Breeze and the others were right…maybe this was a waste of time after all…”
>”Anon…” Twilight softly speaks to you “I can’t believe that you would say such thing. That isn’t the colt that your mother describes so proudly in her letters and definitely not the pony that Discord endlessly brags about…”
>You roll your eyes and groan
“Oh come on, Twilight! You saw what happened back there! I tried to talk to them and they didn’t listen, it’s certainly not my fault!”
>Twilight raises an eyebrow, looking at you with a stern look ”Is it? Did you even hear what you said? Or more importantly, how you said it?”
>You roll your eyes and give Twilight a condescending smile
“Yes Twilight, I told them that I’m the candidate and went into detail to explain them why, and then they went on and on with complaints about irrelevant things and dumb assumptions that were based on nothing!”
>Twilight gently places her right front hoof on her forehead and shakes her head with disproval ”Okay, first of all, I’m going to need you to calm yourself, nopony is rational when they get angry…”
“But I can’t! Those ponies were just so…ARGH! They were so dumb! They won’t listen to a word that I say and act like a bunch of brain dead jerks!”
>Twilight rolls her eyes and taps your chest “Just relax Anon, and do what I do…” The purple alicorn moved her hoof to her chest and take a deep breathe, then she moved her hoof out of it, like if she was pointing at something, and exhales “See? Is that easy? Now try it for yourself…”
>You do the exact same motions… breathe and exhale…breathes…and exhale…all while doing that little movement with your hoof…and after a few moments…
“Hey…it worked…I’m…I’m calmer now…”
>”You’re welcome…” Twilight giggles “Cadence taught me that little technique. It works every time that I get angry or stressed over something. Now, can we talk about what happened? And please, with no insults this time?”
>You sigh and nod
“Okay Twilight…you win”
>Twilight gently caresses your mane and sighs “Anon…listen, I’m not going to pretend like I am the best princess ever, in fact, I am quite new in the business…heh…I wouldn’t even say that I’m qualified to be a leader, but, I know somepony with a lot of experience on how to be great at that…”
>You look at Twilight with some reluctance and raise an eyebrow
“And who that pony might be?”
>A giggle was Twilight’s answer as she sits in front of you “You mother… Princess Luna” You could see a nostalgic smile being drawn on Twilight’s face “When I became a Princess, I actually was very scared. After all, I was now supposed to be a leader figure for everypony to follow, and well…I wasn’t handling the pressure very well…until your mother came to me in a dream to tell me something”
>That…actually caught your attention…
“My mom? And what did she tell you?”
>”Hmm-hmmm! I knew that would get your attention!” Twilight pokes your chest and giggles “But anyways, what she told me was…” The purple alicorn changes her voice to try to imitate Luna, and while it was a poor imitation… it was kind of funny “You see, young Twilight, it is no secret about the mistakes that I have done in the past, and the price that came with them…”
>Nightmare Moon… sheesh that name… that name always managed to make you a bit sad.
>Twilight took notice of that and caressed your mane once more, continuing with her anecdote “And yes, I blamed them at first, I was angry at them, I despised them, but in time…in time I came to realize my own mistakes. You see, young Twilight, being a princess is not about yourself, is about the ponies that you guide.”
>Twilight stands up, looking at you with a powerful and yet…graceful gaze “A Princess must be at the service of their ponies, not the other way around. And that implies to stop being selfish and to start listening to others. Because you see, young Twilight, everypony has their own problems, you might be scared about your new responsibilities, but have you ever stopped to think about the pony that served you those twelve hay hamburgers that you ate today?”
“Twelve hay burgers?! What the heck Twilight?! I haven’t seen anyone to eat that much in my entire life…”
>That was a lie… There was that time where you ate like fifteen hot dogs after a party… and the thirteen double cheese burgers that Cath- Eris ate at the Mirage casino…
>You see Twilight blushing ”H-hey! I was hungry alright?! I always study so much that I forget to eat!”
“Yes, but twelve hay burgers?”
>”Do you want to hear the story or not?!” Heh… looks like Twilight poofs her cheeks too when she gets angry… no wait… you DON’T poof your cheeks! No sir!
>You chuckle and give Twilight a friendly bump on her right front leg
“Alright, alright, just saying…”
>”Where was I?” Twilight rubs her chin for a moment before finally regaining her tone “Oh yeah…” she clears her throat “That pony has her own life, and dreams and hopes too. What I want to say, young Twilight, Is that is not only about us, it’s about everypony else. That iss what a Princess is supposed to do, to listen to their ponies and use that to guide them. Not to blame them or get angered.”
>Twilight pulls you closer with her wing “Sometimes they will make mistakes, sometimes they won’t act rationally.  But that’s fine, because we will be there for them. We will listen to them; we will understand where they are coming from and what makes them act that way. Yes, ponies makes mistakes, and sometimes we do too, but we must be an example for everypony and make up for own failures. Yes, they may stumble, but we won’t, they may falter, but we won’t”
>Twilight sighs one last time “I know this might sound overwhelming, young Twilight, and in many ways, it is… but I know that you can do it, my sister has told me about the lessons that you have learned and the friendships that you have made, I have plenty of confidence in you, and if you ever feel scared… just close your eyes and take a rest… you will always have a friend who you can talk to in your most peaceful dreams.”
>”Now…” Twilight asks you with a gentle voice “I know that you are intelligent… in fact, you are the most intelligent foal I have ever seen, but that doesn’t prevent you from doing mistakes. I hope that you can see where you have failed…”
>Yeah…yeah… that story about your mom Luna made you put things into perspective…
“I didn’t listen to them…I just stuck with my own argument and didn’t listen to their actual problems…they feel as if they are other group, the one that nobody cares about…they felt like I just came to rub another win on their faces…and I kinda did…”
>You sigh
“That whole “system” explanations… me calling them dumb…I was the idiot…not them…those fillies are just frustrated…and I just helped to justify that frustration…”
>”But not anymore, right?” Twilight replies as she pats your back
>You nod and look at the door with determination
“That is right! Now… Now I know what I have to do… come on Twilight…oh…and thanks for the lecture”
>”No problem…” Twilight giggles “As I told Luna once, that’s what I do best”
>You stand up and walk to the door…okay… time for round two!
