I walked into class several days after we first started watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in math class. Over the past few days, we had been watching several of the best episodes in the show. The teacher had told us to go home and watch at least the first three episodes before today, which most of my classmates had done. Except...

Levi. Apparently, that incident sort of scared the crap out of him. He was still lying there in the fetal position, somehow. I didn't see how he got the janitor to just let him stay there overnight several nights in a row, but perhaps he didn't.

Maybe he was just faking it, although I couldn't see why someone would fake being afraid of a My Little Pony character, all Cupcakes jokes aside. Then again, after Rarity somehow managed to strangle him with hooves, he probably should be scared.

I sat down at my seat and pulled out my math homework from last week. It had been due last Friday, so I figured now would be a good time to do it, since it was already late.

Behind me, Levi suddenly stopped rocking back and forth and realized where he was. He quickly looked around to make sure Rarity wasn't here. When he didn't see her, he sighed what was probably a sigh of relief and approached me.

"So, how's it going, pony lover?" he asked, smirking.

I simply rolled my eyes and moved on doing my late homework.

"Doing last week's homework, huh? Well, it makes sense, I mean, obviously you'd want to do this week's homework at home, pony lover." He quickly lunged forward and snatched my homework out from under my hands.

I looked up at him, wide-eyed. Was he seriously taking my homework after what happened on Monday? All it would take was one quick sentence to Rarity (apparently), and WHAM! That boy is down on the floor being choked to death by a pony!

"Dude, give that back," I pleaded.

Levi simply laughed in response. "Hah, and what are you gonna do to make me?"

Okay, seriously, Levi?

"Rarity-" COUGH "-is going-" COUGH "-to kill you!"

"Then I'll run for it. What are the odds a stupid little pony can chase me?"

I stared at him in disbelief. "Levi, you really are even stupider than you look."

Angrily, he glared at me. "What did you say?"

Smirking, I said what I had planned to say whenever I needed to get someone in trouble. "DUDE, THAT’S DISGUSTING! I DO NOT NEED TO SEE THAT!" As the teacher looked over, I tried to look as absolutely appalled as I could, jumping up from my chair.

Levi simply stared at me in shock. "Wha-what? No! It's not what it looks like!"

Angrily, the teacher snapped at Levi. "Levi! Go to the principal's office!"

"But-" Levi pleaded, but it was of no use.

"Now!"

Slowly, Levi gently placed my homework on my desk on slouched over. In a harsh whisper, he left his usual death threat to keep me in suspense. Then, he left the room, just in time for the normal large group of students to enter the classroom.

I don't know why, but for some reason, before class, only, like, 2 or 3 students will actually come into the room, and the rest would just line up outside. It makes no sense, considering the teacher gives us full permission to enter the room before class unless she says otherwise, whether it be through a note or a fire alarm going off... Yeah, the teacher always was a bit... neurotic, you could say...

Anyway, the bell rang about a minute later, signifying the start of class and the time when everyone still at their lockers or in the bathroom or whatever realizes they're late to class.

The teacher walked to the front of the room, which told everyone in the class to shut up because the teacher was going to be talking.

"Today, we're going to be taking a test on My Little Pony. I hope you studied, because you only get one shot at the test. No retakes."

Next to me, Rarity went wide-eyed. I quickly noticed this and turned to her. "What's wrong?"

Rarity turned to me and leaned toward me. Whispering, she said, "In my exhaustion yesterday, it slipped my mind that I was supposed to study."

I was slightly shocked at the response, in fact, very shocked, and was quick to question it. "Are you pulling my leg? I mean, why would you need to study for this test?"

Rarity softly gasped and replied with, "One can never be too sure!"

I simply rolled my eyes and turned my attention to the test sheet that was now sitting on my desk in front of me.

"Now, get started," the teacher told us, returning to her desk in the back of the room to grade papers. "I really need to get a different job..."

Looking down at the test in front of me, I read the first question.

1) Where do the ponies live?

A) America

B) Equestria

C) Ancestria

D) Protestria

Instantly, I circled B and moved on to the second question.

As I progressed through the test, I tried to focus, as much as I didn't need to, but I couldn't with Rarity sitting next to me, struggling to remember her own life. It was a bit ridiculous. Scratch that, it was extremely ridiculous.

I sat there staring at Rarity for several minutes before she even noticed. As she noticed, she turned to look at me.

"Oh, um... Do... Do you have the answer to number 4?"

I quickly glanced down to view the question she asked about:

What is the name of the white unicorn with the purple mane?

A) Elusive

B) Sparity

C) Sweetie Belle

D) Rarity

I looked back up at her and gave her a deadpan look.

"What?!" she snapped back. "I've been under a lot of stress!"

The class period continued, the test problems getting harder and harder as the time passed. After around problem 10, it asked you to recall specific plot points in the episodes the teacher told us to watch. After around problem 12, it asked you to recall specific plot points in episodes she hadn't told us to watch.

Upon seeing this, I struggled not to laugh. Our teacher always did this. She would tell us to study a certain part of the book or whatever, then test us on stuff she hadn't told us to study. Of course, she never counted it in the gradebook, but it was funny nonetheless. I swear, sometimes she was worse than Trollestia.

At the end of class, the bell rang, per usual, and the teacher told us to put our tests on her desk, saying that we would finish them on Monday.

After exiting the class, I tried to find Rarity. Upon spotting her at her locker, I saw her giggling to herself in front of the mirror on her locker door.

I'd had a feeling she'd been messing with me. But why?

Once seeing me, she frantically shoved her math book into her locker and slammed the door shut, blushing furiously.

She sat there in front of her locker, blocking the door as much as she could.

"You... didn't happen to see that, did you?" she asked me nervously.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course I did."

"I should have expected as much... Say, why don't we meet outside the school this afternoon? We could go see a movie, perhaps."

"Erm..." I trailed off, unsure of whether or not she had just asked me out on a date. Either way, the safe answer is usually the first one that comes to mind, which was...

"Sure, I'm free."

Rarity smiled at me warmly. "Fantastic! I shall see you this afternoon!"

The bell rang, telling us to get to class. "Oh! Well, we'd better get going to our classes! I will see you later today!"

"You, too," I replied before we both rushed to our classes.

Author's Note

Is it just me, or do tests seem to almost ALWAYS be on Friday?
