Princess Skyla

Skyla slowly opened her eyes letting them adjust to Celestia's raising sun remembering the dream she jerked herself awake, "Luna?!" she screamed.

"Luna? Luna's in Canterlot," breazle said puzzled.

Skyla looked around she suddenly stopped to rethink what Luna had told her.

"Skyla its Monday time for school," breazle said getting down from her bed.

Skyla started brushing her mane while breazle got her saddle bag and started packing it with books and pencils and crayons. Skyla then started twisting her mane and it soon became the cute curls she always wears. "Y' know breazle?" she asked. "I think I might just do a different mane style I'm getting tired of this look. As Skyla finished she put her manebrush down and looked at breazle and he gave her the saddle bag.

"My saddle bag? I never need my saddle bag for school."

"You do for now on." shining armor said while walking through the door.

"Why?" Skyla asked half puzzled half excited to hear what they will say.

"Because like I said" cadence started saying coming in behind shining "me and your dad talked and we finally agreed to let you go to school with other fillies your age."

hearing this Skyla started jumping and yelling, "YES! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" she paused for a minuet. "Wait dad? how did mom convince you to let me go to school?"

Cadence giggled and Shining made a pouty face. "Lets just say, You got your cute moves from your mom." He motioned to Cadence and she put on the face she did to convince Shining.

Skyla giggled then gave her mom a serious look. "Its good mom but.. I'm better."

Her mom raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

"I can make a face WITH A TEAR! HA" She bragged.

"You gotta admit she's got talent." Shining said, pointing to his daughter.

Cadence sighed. "Whatever."

"but Skyla your going to have to come back home right away after school no going anywhere else got it?" Shining said giving Skyla a 5 second serious look before another smile. "But I'm still serious." He repeated the same serious look but stopped when Cadence nudged him.

"yes dad, thank you so much!" she said while hugging them.

"Skyla time to eat breakfast and then flash will walk you to school."

"Why can't you guys come with me?" the little filly looked down with a frown.

"Because sweat heart me and daddy have some royal business to attend to." Cadence said holding Skyla's head up so their eyes meet. "but don't worry we will have time to play later," she added giving the pink alicorn a kiss on her forehead, then she turned and left with Shining Armor close behind.

"And by later she means in 200 years," Skyla mumbled to herself.

"Don't worry Skyla its what royals have to do, and guess who's next in line for the throne!" breazle said trying to cheer her up only to make her more upset.

"If I'll have that much work to do them count. me. out!" Skyla huffed.

"Its alright Skyla you can play with me,"

"Alright lets go." Skyla said with a smile while breazle jumped into her saddle bag.

Cadence then popped her head through the door, "Oh silly me I almost forgot, Breazle you cant go with you this time, they don't allow pets there,"

"WHAT?!" breazle said popping out his head from the top of the saddle bag.

They both looked at breazle in shock for his sudden outburst, "Uh its ok breazle I guess I'm better off by myself anyway," Skyla giggled nervously.

"ok fine but still they don't let me in because I'm not a pony that's just racist!" Breazle complained while climbing out of the saddle bag.

"Skyla you better hurry." Cadence warned, Skyla ran down the stairs and sat down devouring her pancakes.

"Bye mom, Bye dad!" and with that Skyla ran out to door getting a running take off, she opened and started flapping her wings as she noticed flash fly up by her.

"Why hello Princess." Flash said bowing his head slightly.

"Hi Flash." Skyla replied flapping her pink and purple wings so they were going the same rate flash's orange ones were.

"Where do you think your going?" he smiled slightly.

"Today is my first day of school and I cant wait, but I thought you already knew isn't that why your here, to take me to school?"

"Well yah I'm just messing with you, but you ran off without even looking at me your lucky I was there your almost as fast as rainbow dash!"

Skyla giggled, when she saw the school come into her field of vision she screamed.

"What?! what is it!?" Flash shouted converting to alert mode.

"School is right down there! I'm so excited I could just SCREAM!"

"I thought you already did." he said he rubbed his ear to is if it was in pain to show Skyla just how loud she was.

"Hehe.. oops sorry if i was that loud Flash." She landed in front of the school with flash not far behind.

Looking at all the fillies and colts walking into school the little princess no longer felt excited she was scared, she felt a weird tingle in her stomach.

"uh.. Flash? I'm nervous I've never been near other fillies before my tummy is hurting I think I'm going to puke.. I-I'm sick lets go back home I'm sure its not to late to get the tutor back to the castle," Skyla said quickly trying to get Flash to take her back.

"calm down Skyla you'll be fine you wanted this for a long time, now school Is about to begin, get in there and make some friends, remember to focus just as hard as you do for your private tutor." The orange guard said with a smile.

"A-Alright." Skyla said taking a deep breath.

"Good luck Skyla" with that he was off.

She watched the orange pony fly away, She looked around nervously as ponies walked towards class. 'alright.. all I have to do is walk though the doors and I will finally be at school with other fillies not so bad right?' Skyla thought, she took a deep breath and started walking, unfortunately she was to busy looking around at the other fillies and colts she didn't see the big rock in front of her. The filly tripped over the rock and fell in the dirt "Ach!" She yelled as she hit the ground. She opened her eyes and saw 2 pairs of hooves in front of her.

The first filly that spoke was a unicorn who had a Red mane, and a black coat, and she had green eyes, her cutie mark was a broken heart with fire lit on its side. For some reason she gave Skyla chills and her stomach started hurting. "Look, Water Lily there a new pony is class."

The one Skyla guessed was named Water Lily started laughing, she had a sky blue coat, with a multi colored mane containing the colors turquoise, and indigo. Her mane and tail were also made into ponytails, she also had purple eyes. Her cutie mark resembled a darker version of the crystal heart with a tentacle of water in it. "And she's a total klutz!" She said as the other filly started laughing with her.

Skyla looked around to see a crowd drawing. The poor filly was to scared to move. as more ponies grew near she tried to get up but she seemed to be frozen.

"What wrong? is the widdle fwily scared?" The filly that spoke first said in a baby voice. Water Lily just laughed.

Skyla was on the verge of tears, still trying to get up and away from the others. N-no.. I-I jus-"

"Don't tell me, is the widdle fiwwy donna crwy?" Water lily mocked.

Skyla put her head in her hooves hiding her face so they couldn't see. "Hey leave her alone!" Came a voice, it sounded feminine.

"Who said that?!" Water Lily shouted.

"Us." Came a male voice from behind Skyla, she looked up to see two ponies a filly and a colt. The filly had a light yellow coat with a freckles, and a rose colored mane with a little red bow right by her ear, she also had pretty blue eyes. she didn't have a cutie mark just like the colt next to her who had the same color coat as the first filly to pick on her, he had a light blue mane that covered most of his right eye and he had a dark blue marking in his mane and tail. "Dark heart stop! why are you picking on her?" he spoke.

"Ugh what do you want Blue Ivy?" She groaned

"I want you to stop picking on her." He said sternly. "But that still doesn't answer my question, why are you picking on her?"

"She tripped how could I ignore it!" Dark heart shouted back.

"You could always ask if she's ok." The filly pointed out.

"Do you even know us?" Water Lily spoke up.

"Just leave her alone she tripped on a rock, big deal! I've seen you walk into a wall! At least you could have seen that coming." He shot back.

At this the filly by his side started to giggle into her hoof. "I saw that too it was funny." She said between giggles.

Dark Heart's face got red in embarrassment. "W-well.. UGH! lets go Lily!" She shouted, with that they walked off into the school. as they left the crowd lost interest and started into the school house too. Once the two fillies left the tingling and her tummy ache stopped.

"Hey you ok?" Blue Ivy asked and he held out a hoof to help her up. Skyla accepted it and he pulled her to her hooves.

"Y-yea." He said shyly her voice still shaking.

"I'm Blue Ivy, This is Creamsicle." as her name was said Creamsicle smiled and waved. "Sorry about my sister and her friend. Their really mean. What's your name?"

"I-I'm Skyla."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Creamsicle cut in. "You mean Skyla as in PrincessSkyla?"

"Y-Yea that's me." She said as she moved her saddle bag to reveal wings.

"Oh! sorry Princess." Blue Ivy said as he and Creamsicle bowed.

"Uh.. Sorry for what? A-and please don't bow... It gets annoying after a while.

They both got up. Blue Ivy rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and Creamsicle only blushed in embarrassment as the both said "Sorry."

Skyla giggled "Its fine." They all gasped at the sound of the bell.

"Lets hurry!" With that they all ran inside. Blue Ivy and Creamsicle sat in their seats and watched as their new friend made their way to the teachers desk.

The teacher was taking attendance when she noticed Skyla looking up at her, a look of confusion crossed her face as she looked back at the paper "O-oh! Princess Skyla!" she gasped. "S-sorry, Class we have a new student in our class, Princess Skyla my name is Ms. Marine." the filly gave a nod of understanding. "You can take the seat between Blue Ivy and Creamsicle."

Skyla once again nodded and walked over to the empty seat. 'Hello luck' she thought as she made her way over to the seat. "Where were you when there was a rock?" She asked sternly as she sat down. She smiled as Blue Ivy and Creamsicle and they returned it with smiled of their own.

"Ok class." The teacher started. Skyla put her saddle bag by her desk. "Since we have a new student, I was thinking we could start with Specials today. As always, I'm a unicorn so I will be taking all the Unicorns and Thunder Lane will be taking all you Pegasus. Unfortunately for all earth ponies Cheese sandwich was only staying for a month so instead of Flugel horn Lessons you will get free recess." At that there were some cheers and some 'awww's'

Out of the blue there was a roar outside as if a jet just passed the school. Once the sound disappeared all the fillies and colts raised their hooves excitedly and the teacher looked around to choose somepony. "Skyla your the student of honor today how about you open the door."

"O-open the door? O-ok.." The student of honor got up and opened the door. Once it was opened in the speed of light a Pegasus flew in and picked her up. Caught off guard she screamed as they left the class room. Skyla stopped screaming and looked up and Thunder Lane looked down and smiled at her but then it became shock, and then happy again. As he zoomed back into the class room he dropped Skyla back into her seat, or the only empty seat, and landed by Ms. Marine. "That was so cool" Skyla whispered under her breath.

"What's up my little ponies." Thunder Lane shouted as he threw his hooves into the air. "Everypony started clapping and shouting out in excitement.

"Alright class settle down." Ms. Marine said. "Everypony with wings go with Mr. Lane, Everypony with a horn come with me also all earth ponies go with Mr. Lane too he will take you to recess and you can either play or watch the Pegasus. Everypony went to their groups except Skyla she didn't know where to go she had both. She decided maybe she could learn magic with Ms. Marine so she went to the unicorn group. "Alright Class Lets-" She stopped when she saw Skyla. Ms. Marine remembered something her parents told her about Skyla and her magic. "Skyla how about you join the Pegasus group." Ms. Marine suggested.

Skyla's smile turned around. "O-ok" She sighed. 'So much for magic' she thought. She saw Creamsicle and Blue Ivy smiling at her. The alicorn's smile returned as she trotted over to her new found friends. They talked as they went outside and into the back area where some of the earth fillies ran off the play.

"Alright class!" Thunder Lane shouted. "Earth ponies that are interested in watching sit on the bleachers. Creamsicle and a few other earth ponies left and sat of the bleachers "Pegasus! Take to the sky!" All the Pegasus fillies and colts flew up onto one huge cloud. "Alright since Princess Skyla is new to class today we will perform in front of her and we will practice our routine as usual and she can join in whenever she feel comfortable. Skyla nodded. "Positions!" Thunder lane shouted. They all got into a line, Skyla watched from the cloud eager to see what she would soon be doing.

"Alright step by step!" Mr. Thunder shouted. "Step one!" Everypony moved from in the line and back into a line going from horizontal to vertical. "Step two!" Each pony spit like a zipper unzipping and made 2 vertical lines. "Step three!" Around 5 ponies made a circle. "Step four!" 4 more ponies made a circle and got into the bigger circle. "Step 5!" Same happened but with 3 ponies. "Step 6!" the last 2 fillies held hooves with each other and got into the smallest circle. "Step 7!" each of them moved up a little accept for the first circle soon it looked like a giant cone made a fillies and colts. "Princess Skyla!" Mr. Thunder Lane called.

Skyla looked away from the other students and at her teacher. "Yes Mr. Lane?"

"This is where we can add you in go to the floor and shoot up through the hoops." He instructed. Skyla nodded, she flew to the ground and pushed off the floor. She flapped her wings as fast as she could. Everypony gasped at the amazing speed as she flew past them and through the last hoop of fillies. "Very good Skyla Thunder Lane said. Skyla smiled proudly. "that will be step 8 wait where you are." Skyla did as said and stayed in place. "Step 9!" Everypony spun out of their Hoops and back into 2 vertical lines. "Skyla fly over the imaginary crowd!"

Skyla looked around in confusion. "Where is the crowd?"

"Oops forgot to show you the crowd. Its the cloud you were sitting on." Skyla did as told and flew over the cloud and the 'fake crowd' then flew back to her place.

"Oh! oh! if I can could I try to do a sonic rainboom? I've done it with Flash before."

"Wait you could do the sonic rainboom? I thought only rainbow dahs could do it."

"Its hard but I think I can do it! it just takes practice I don't want to do it now but if I get it down could I do it in the performance?"

"S-sure! that would be amazing Skyla!"

"YAY!"

"Well if your planning on making a sonic rainboom then after flying over the crowd I want you to fly as high as you need for the rainboom. that will be step 10, you going up there and getting ready. he turned to the rest of the class. "Step 11 will be you guys moving your vertical lines down to make some sort of runway towards the crowd. They all did as told, "Step 12 will be Skyla doing to rainboom." Skyla flew down fast but not fast enough to make a rainboom. She stopped at where the rainboom would, right above the filly and colt made runway. She flew along the runway and back around the crowd, which would make a rainbow above them. "Skyla to the front of the runway. Run way move up when she does." Skyla flew over the to tip of the run way and like a draw bridge she pulled it up. "Brilliant! and the rest goes to the unicorns and the earth ponies!" Thunder Lane looked at the time. "Looks like times about up too awesome!" He beamed.

Everypony flew back to the ground to either get ready to go inside or meet with their friends. "Wait so your actually going to do a sonic rainboom?!" Creamsicle squealed.

"I hope so I've done it with flash before but.. the other times I tried to do it.. it doesn't really want to do it." Skyla sighed. "But I'm sure I could do it when the time comes.. also.. when will the time come?"

"The last day of school we put together a huge show for our parents!" Ivy joined in.

"Cool! I should I enough time!"

"I just hope we earth ponies could find a new Flugel teacher we're the music of the show and we only got a months practice."

"True I'm sure you'll find some kind of replacement." Skyla thought for a moment. "Hey! what about Pinkie Pie!"

"Pinkie who?"

"Pinkie Pie! she is my Aunt Twilights friend and the element of laughter! she played the Flugel horn for me a few years back on my Birth day."

"Yea but doesn't the elements live in ponyville."

"Ugh why does it have to be so far.. well she's the best Flugel player I've ever see!"

"Class time to line up!" Ms. Marine's voice came from the door of the school house. Everypony lined up in front of her as she led them inside. The next subject was math Skyla raised her hoof for almost all of them because her private tutor had already taught her this lesson and how to do it to get the answer. After a few more lessons It was time to go home.

"Ok Class time to go home and good luck with your homework for tonight!" Ms. Marine shouted as the school bell rang and the fillies and colts started left.

Skyla, Creamsicle, and Blue Ivy all walked along by the school and stopped when they encountered Dark Heart. Skyla started to get shivers again and her stomach, like last time, started to hurt. Her ears drooped and she slightly stepped back.

"Relax." She growled. "Water Lily isn't here to have to fun of picking on you so I'm not going to take all the fun for myself." She looked away from the cowering Skyla and over to Blue Ivy. "I'm just here for my brother."

"Bye Skyla, Creamsicle, I'll see you tomorrow." He waved goodbye and left. As they left Skyla's shiver and stomach ache once again stopped.

"I don't know why you hang out with those losers." Dark heart teased.

"Their not losers and stay away from them." He snapped back.

"Ok I know your nicerthan the rest of us but C'mon you don't have to protect them! and what was that you embarrassed my in front of class thanks a lot for almost ruining my reputation! your lucky I'm popular enough to get ponies to forget about it."

"You deserve to get embarrassed after what you were doing to Skyla."

"Ha! she had it coming she should watch where she's going."

"You should watch what your saying!"

"Whatever lets just go tell mom and dad that they finally let her out. Geez she spent her whole life in that castle."

"I'm not going to say anything. Mom and dad should learn that revenge gets you nothing."

"Oh its going to get me something. Watch your back." She growled.

"Oh trust me, I will." he sighed, as they looked around to make sure nopony followed them they went behind and rock and passed the line to the dark kingdom.

***

Skyla and Creamsicle kept on talking to each other as they walked farther away from the school Skyla noticed this and stopped.

"What wrong?" Creamsicle asked.

"I cant get to far from the school Flash is supposed to pick me up." as if on queue Flash landed right behind Skyla.

Skyla turned around. "Lets go talk on the-"

"BOO!"

"AAH!" Skyla screamed and she jumped away from the thing that scared her.

"I-I'm S-sorry Princess I-I had too!" Flash Sentry said between laughs.

"Flash! don't sneak up on me and scare me how many times do I have to say it!"

"Princess." He bowed and looked up at her. "You can say it as many times as you want but as long as your parents say I can do it. I'm taking every chance I got." He said getting up and then bursting into laughter again.

Skyla huffed as Creamsicle tried to hold in a laugh of her own. "Bye Skyla I have to go, good luck with.. Him." She said gesturing to flash.

"Thanks I'll need it." Skyla sighed. "Bye."

"Did you make a new friend already?" Flash asked.

"Yea and you totally scared me in front of her!" She yelled back.

with a few more chuckles from flash they took to the skies.

"I also made another friend his name Blue Ivy!"

"How did you meet them?" Flash asked.

"I-I uhh.." Skyla thought for a moment 'if I tell him about Water Lily and Dark Heart, he might tell mom and dad and they'll change their minds about me going.. but if they just tell me to ignore them.. No knowing he dad He'll pull me out.. then again he doesn't stand a chance against me.. but who knows who's side mom will take UGH! I'm not taking any chances.' "I-I tripped on a rock and they came over to make sure I was ok." 'Alright lying but telling the truth I think my answer was good enough.' Skyla thought.

"You tripped on a rock are you alright?!" Flash asked as he grabbed Skyla from the air and checked for wounds.

"F-Flash?! what are you doing I'm fine!" She said pushing him away.

"Alright just making sure, your dad would kill me, ok that's a little over dramatic, the worst he can do is making me do extra obstacles and maybe if its enough fire me but I don't want that to happen so..."

"Well I'm fine."

"Nothing scratched?"

"No."

"Nothing bruised?"

"No!"

"Your totally fine?"

"Oh look your home your don't have to worry anymore." Flash rolled his eyes as Skyla sped towards the castle.

"Flash opened the door and lead Skyla in.

"Where is mom and dad?" She asked as they entered the castle.

"They are on an important trip." He saw the disappointment on her face and immediately felt bad for the little Princess. "D-don't worry they'll be back before tomorrow."

"Alright" She sighed.

"SKYLA!" a familiar voice rang through the hallway.

The filly turned and immediately got a face full of Weasel. "Ok, ok I missed you too breazle." Skyla said pealing him off her face.

"Sooo.. how was it?"

"It was super fun I made two friends and their really nice! One is named Creamsicle, and the other is Blue Ivy." She explained.

"Cool! anything fun at school?"

"Yea we were working on a flight routine! and I told them how when I was playing with flash one day I accidentally did a sonic rainboom and Mr. Lane said if I practice I could use it in the routine! I'm so excited."

"Good for you Skyla! but isn't the sonic rainboom dangerous when you did it with me you couldn't stop afterwards and almost ran into the castle wall."

"Well that's because it was in the backyard there isn't much space I also wasn't planning on doing it so I wasn't able to aim, this time it will be different!"

"Cool! You should practice now Skyla I could ride on your back!" Breazle said hopping on and grabbing her mane.

"Not now I made her an afternoon snack, also she needs to do homework."

"YAY!"

"AWWW!"

"Wow breazle your so full of energy today did you really miss me that much?"

"You would not believe!"

"Oh I Believe."

they all shared a laugh.

"Alright Skyla I made your favorite cookies are in the kitchen!"

"YAY!"
