Spike's First Week Of School

Spike was beginning to see why so many fillies and colts disliked school. Before he had turned to a pony he would have to wake up around eight or nine. He used think that was horrible but waking up at seven was even worse, but of course not as bad as winter wrap up. When he got out of bed he stretched and mumbled to himself about how tired he was. Stumbling down the stairs he went into the kitchen and saw his mom sitting in her seat sipping coffee. Glad to see she had given up cooking, he went and got himself cereal.

"So, Spike how do you feel your fitting into the new environment" Twilight asked him.

"You mean school right?" Spike asked her.

"Oh yes, of course. How do you feel your fitting in?" Twilight asked again.

"Great" Spike told her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep, could tell them today I was a dragon and I'm really Spike"

"Well you can do that Friday. We need to make sure"

"Don't worry 'bout it. I'm fine"

"If your sure" Twilight said, looking at the clock she said to him "You better get going".

Nodding his head, Spike got up, grabbed his bag and ran out the door. As he was trotting to school he saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders were only a few steps ahead of him.

"Hey guys, wait up" he called.

"Hmmm, oh hey new ki- Scribbler, I mean Scribbler" Scootaloo said as the three slowed down for him to catch up.

"Hey, so I was wondering, since you know you guys are, you know are searching for your cutie mark and stuff if maybe I could join you one day" Spike asked them.

"Well you don't have a cutie mark and we could always use some extra ideas. I guess you could do some crusading with us sometime" Sweetie Belle told him.

"Yeah you could give us some of 'ur fancy, Canterlot ideas" Applebloom added.

" I really don't have many fancy ideas, but I have some ideas" Spike told the three.

"Well, we can talk about them at lunch today. I mean if your not going to sit with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon" Sweetie Belle said adding emphasis on Diamond Tara and Silver Spoon's names.

"Nah, I don't think I'm going to hang out with them" He told them.

"Good, there both a bunch of brats" Applebloom said.

The four continued their conversation, on whether or not they'll ever find their cutie marks until they got to school. Before Diamond Tiara could have had a chance to look for him, the bell rang and the school day began. Spike sat down in his seat and took out a pencil. He could hear Diamond Tiara trying to get his attention, but ignored her. Cheerilee once again handed out a paper on multiplication, but this time it was two pages, front and back.

"Ok, class no instructions today, just practice. You must work together in pairs or in teams of three" she said. Spike noticed she seemed a bit frazzled, but she was a teacher after all. She probably was just tired from grading and such. Diamond tried to get his attention again but Spike ignored her again. He looked in front of him to see the crusaders working together. He turned to his left and saw Dinky with no partner.

"Hey, Dinky want to be partners" he asked her.

"Uh sure" she said "But wouldn't you rather work with Diamond Tiara".

"Nah, I think I'm gonna tell her she can find another pony to be her new crony" he told her.

He watched as Dinky held back a laughed but nodded her head in approval of being his partner. The pair worked together and the entire time he could feel Diamond Tiara's glare. He and Dinky working together finished the problems surprisingly fast, even though Spike had to explain to her sometimes what to do, but that was fine with him. When the finished the gave their papers to Ms. Cheerilee and sat back down. Dinky took out another book, this time about space and Spike, trying to keep Diamond Tiara's attention away by reading his. Soon math was over and it was time for science.

"Now, class today were going to talk about the moon" Cheerilee spoke. "Now as Luna raises the moon, depending on what day it is, she will show from only a sliver of the moon to the entire moon, know as the full moon. Luna's moon also effects the tides of Equestria as well. Now would you all turn to page 154 in your science books, read pages 154 to 161". The class all opened their textbooks and read the assigned pages.

"Now for homework tonight all of you are to answer the questions that go along with the section" Ms. Cheerilee told the class. Some of them groaned but all wrote it down in their books.

Then, the history lesson began on The Battle Of Fillydelphia. It was a boring lesson. Not much really happened during the battle. Equestria retreated but about three months later they would regain Fillydelphia. Then finally, much to Spikes delight, it was time for lunch. He grabbed his lunch and hurried outside to the schoolyard. He went over to the table that he saw that the crusaders normally sat at.

"Hey girls" he said as he sat down,

"Hey Scribbler, we where just writing down some ideas for ways to get our cutie marks" Applebloom said "Have any ideas"

"Well, maybe we could-" but Spike was cut off before he could finish his sentence by cruel laughter.

He turned around to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughing at them.

"Oh this is rich, almost as rich as me! The Cutie Mark Losers are talking to are friend Scribbler" Diamond said in a mocking tone "Why in Equestria would he help you with something as stupid as helping you earn your cutie marks. Come on Scribbler, you don't need to sit at this loser table. You it with us"

Spike looked at the crusaders looking at Diamond Tiara. In their eyes there was hatred but also embarrassment. No way was he gonna let those bullies push them around.

"No" Spike told them firmly.

"Excuse me?!" Diamond asked him.

"Your excused. But no way, NO way can you treat them like that Diamond. Those are my friends and your just being a jerk" Spike told her.

"What in Equestria are you talking about Scribbler" Diamond Tiara growled.

"You heard me, they are my friends and your NOT gonna mess with them. And you better stop being mean to Dinky. Just cause she doesn't always make sense doesn't make her CRAZY" Spike yelled at her.

"I.. I.. I CAN"T BELIVE YOU I TREAT YOU SO NICLY NEW COLT AND YOU STAB ME IN THE BACK! I CAN'T BELIEVE I THOUGT YOU WERE CUTE. UGH, I SPENT MY TIME ON YOU FOR NOTHING" Diamond yelled, then with a hmp she turned around and with Silver Spoon stalked away.

"Wow, that was AWESOME" Scootaloo said.

"I can't believe you stood up to Diamond Tiara for us" Sweetie Belle said.

"You definitely deserve to be a Cutie Mark Crusader" Scootaloo said.

"Really" Spike asked.

"Definitely" Applebloom said. The four laughed and for the rest of lunch talked about the new induction of a new crusader.

"We will definitely need to re-write that induction speech" Scootaloo said.

"Your right Scoot, that will be your job" Applebloom told her.

"What!" Scootaloo replied as the three others laughed. But before she could argue about it the bell rang and the four headed back to class.

"Thanks for saying that about me to Diamond Tiara" someone said from behind Spike. He turned around and saw it was Dinky.

"It was nothing" he told her.

"Not to me" Dinky replied and then ran inside.

The last class of the day was art again and once again Spike did horribly. As he was packing up he looked at his latest drawing and stuffed it in the bottom of his bag and put his backpack on. He headed home and once again, with no company. When he reached the tree house he could hear his mom humming to herself. Most likely doing her royal duties. He just headed upstairs to his bedroom. Sitting on his bed he looked around his small room, it used to be a closest, and saw how bare it was. His mom had done it quickly and he hadn't really cared to decorate anything yet but he realized how plain it was. It had a simple bed and nightstand with a lamp. There was a single bookshelf with a few of his favorite books, but nothing else. Maybe at dinner he could bring it up, but he didn't want to bother his mom. Deciding he would mention it he got back to his homework. Make that two things he now knew why his classmates disliked school.
