"SHUT UP!" Lydia yelled, letting herself give in to her anger. The gray pony frowned, then grinned again.

"Or else what, halfling?" The gray pony said.

"No stop! You don't know who you're messing with!" Starshine yelled.

"I think I know what I am doing." The gray filly said. "Cmon, halfling, teach me a lesson." Lydia was enraged, she didn't know how to deal with this, so she thought what would her father do. There was a flash and then a puddle of chocolate milk was beside the gray filly. "What good did that do?" The gray filly said.

She noticed that Lydia wasn't standing there anymore. "Where did she go?" The gray filly asked.

"Beside you!" The orange pony yelled. The gray pony turned and saw Lydia grinning.

"What's so funny?" The gray pony asked.

"This." Lydia then shoved her into the chocolate puddle. Everything was quiet. Nopony moved. Whispers began. The orange pony and Starshine stared wide eyed. Lydia stood there too, her hoof still in the air, outstretched in front of her. Did that really just happen? Did I just shove down another pony? Lydia thought.

The gray pony stood up to Lydia. "How DARE you be such a, how should i put it, a coccydynia!" She said. Everyone stared at the gray pony.

"A what?" Lydia asked. The gray pony sighed.

"How dare you be such a pain in the behind." She restated.

"Why am I the.....cocky dinner? You were the one insulting me!" Lydia argued.

"You were the one who pushed me in the puddle!" The pony yelled. This went on for quite a while until Mrs. Cheerilee came and asked what was going on.

"Mrs Cheerilee, that girl was calling me names." Lydia said. Mrs. Cheerilee stared at the gray pony.

"Autumn Mist, is this true?" Mrs. Cheerilee asked.

"No Mrs. Cheerilee, she started calling ME names and she pushed me into a puddle." Autumn said, with a misleading tear in her eye. Mrs. Cheerilee looked at Lydia. Starshine stepped in.

"Mrs. Cheerilee, Lydia's telling the truth!" Starshine said. The orange pony then came in.

"Mrs. Cheerilee, Lydia was calling Autumn names, then she pushed Autumn in a puddle. Look at Autumn! She's wet from the puddle!" She said. Starshine glared at her while she grinned.

"I'm sorry, Lydia, but I have to believe Autumn. She is drenched from a puddle, and from the looks of this she is hurt. I will have a word with your parents after school." Mrs. Cheerilee said. Lydia opened her mouth to protest, but no words came out. "Ok everyone, let's go back inside." As everyone left, Lydia sat there, motionless.

Starshine padded up beside her and put a comforting hoof on her shoulder. "It's ok Lydia, I will be here for you." She said. Lydia turned to her, and smiled. They went back inside.

Lydia waited outside the schoolhouse with Starshine as Mrs. Cheerilee talked to Discord and Fluttershy. "Starshine you don't have to be here. You can go on home." Lydia said.

"Nah I can't. My mom is gonna pick me up." Starshine said. "Besides, I can't leave my bestie hangin." They sat there for a while until the door opened and Discord walked out, along with Fluttershy. Lydia couldn't bring herself to look at them.

"Lydia..." Discord began. Lydia expected to get yelled at or something, but instead Discord picked her up and hugged her. "That was amazing! Incredible! I could never be more proud!" He yelled. Lydia giggled.

"Discord put her down." Fluttershy said. Discord looked at her, then Lydia, then Fluttershy again. Then he sat her down. Lydia stopped smiling as she met her mother's eyes. "Lydia, I heard some bad things about you in there." She began.

"But, mommy, she was being a....whatever she said earlier! She was making me mad so I pushed her into a chocolate puddle!" Lydia pleaded.

"That's my girl." Discord murmured silently.

"When we get back, i'll talk to you and your father." Discord looked at Fluttershy.

"What did I do? I was just....examining this beautifully fertilized soul, i mean, soil." Discord said with a nervous grin.

"Let's go on home." Fluttershy said. Discord crouched over to Lydia.

"We'll get her back later." He whispered to her. Lydia smiled slightly. She waved goodbye to Starshine and waited for her father to teleport them to the castle.

Author's Note

Hello all my dearest, nearest, clearest acquaintances! Sorry it took months to upload this chapter. School is really getting busy, especially since testing is coming 'round the corner. Anyhoo during my absence, people messaged me. A lot. They were mostly death threats (not) and some things about mustard. But i did get a few attention-snatching pms. If you haven't guessed, they where about renaming our protagonist, Lydia. Im not math genius but I can tell you that 80% of those messages about renaming wanted me to rename Lydia to Screwball. Others were stuff like Cherry Chaos and Cherry changa (which I prefer over Chimicherry, just sayin.) but yeah. People who didnt want Screwball made names with Cherry, or Grape, or something. Anyway I am thinking of renaming our protagonist. Lemme know if you want to change it, and if so, what you want it to change to. Or you could insist on leaving it the same. So, that's my news, hope you have a nice evening, or morning, or afternoon, or whatever your time is, and remember, eat RD's cookies and cream!
