The CMC's Terrible Kindergarten Graduation

Ponyville Kindergarten Graduation Night

“Scootaloo hurry up, we’re gonna be late!” Sweetie Belle said as she grabbed her backpack from downstairs.

“Hold on will you?! I already told you, I need to make sure I look as cool as I can in front of Rainbow Dash, and that takes lots of preparation!” She yelled back.

“Has anypony seen my bow? I can’t leave without it!” Applebloom yelled across the hall.

It was a frantic afternoon at Carousel Boutique, as the three little fillies rushed around the store. It was the night of their kindergarten graduation, and all the kids around Ponyville were scurrying around trying to get ready, while parents were about ready to off themselves from the child-sized chaos.

Scootaloo came trotting down the stairs, dressed in a black leather jacket and red rimmed shades, Sweetie Belle was dressed in a red dress, made by her older sister, and Applebloom was wearing nothing but her standard pink bow in her hair.

Applebloom glanced between her two friends and quickly came to a conclusion. "You both look ridiculous." she said with a deadpan face.

"Well at least we actually tried to look our best." Sweetie Belle replied with an unamused stare.

"Look, we can argue over our wardrobe choices later, but for now, we need to get going. We really shouldn't be late for this, who's with me?"

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom glanced at each other and nodded. "Then lets get going girls!" Scootaloo cheered as they ran out the door of the boutique, only to stop dead in their tracks.

As the three friends stood outside of the store, the sight they saw made them freeze. Buildings were in flames, ponies were screaming in anger at the children running amok. In the middle of town, was the mayor, trying her best to calm the citizens down.

“Mares and gentlecolts! Please remain calm! The kindergarten graduation is no reason to be acting this way!” She shouted as a dagger flew by her head and landed on the wall beside her.

The mayor shrieked as the knife hit the wall, and looked to her side to see a stallion standing there laughing. He had a blue coat and a fiery orange mane, his eyes a darkened gold.

“Mister Dagger, this is not the time for your target practice! You should be getting your students to the school and getting them to remain calm!”

The stallion grinned at her. “You know you can just call me Mick, right? And besides, it’s so much fun to see the little ones all riled up, driving parents insane, wouldn’t you agree mayor?” he said, chuckling as he saw the mayors angry glare.

“Am I the only pony trying to fix things here?!” She shouted, wishing this would all just fix itself so she could go anywhere else but here.

“Don’t worry mayor, we’re trying our best to keep the town from going into madness, you can count on us!” The mayor turned her head to see Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity standing together.

But as soon as they finished speaking, everything went calm and quiet. The group of friends looked around to see the kids nonchalantly walking towards the school stage. They all stood there mouths agape at the sudden change in behavior, as Twilight stared on with a deadpan expression.

“Why do i get the feeling this night is only going to get stranger?”

Little did she know she was beyond correct.

Lights lit the stage as the five friends approached it, loud techno music began to play from large speakers on either side of the stage, courtesy of their resident DJ, Vinyl Scratch. The kindergarten teacher walked onto the stage wearing a overly fancy suit and top hat, grinning as he twirled a cane in his magic.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, welcome to the graduation of this years Ponyville kindergarten class!" he said into a microphone, taking off his to hat and smirking when he heard a few cat calls from some mares in the crowd. "It seems a few of you may already know me, but for those of you who have the misfortune of not knowing me, allow me to fix that for you. My name is Mick Dagger, but you may call me Mick, if you wish." Mick chuckled as he heard even more cat calls and cheers from the crowd, though as the crowd quieted down, he heard a stallion call from the crowd. "We love you Mick!"

"Woah now buddy, let us not forget there are kids here, shall we? Now that we are acquainted, please allow me to introduce you to my lovely assistant, Lavender Rush!" A mare walked out onto the stage, her lavender coat shining in the light, as her blue and light purple mane bounced with each step she took. Now was the stallions turn to whistle at the new appearance on stage.

"Hello everypony, it is so nice to be here tonight! I can't even begin to tell you how much fun it has been watching these kids grow throughout the year, and I hope that Mr.Dagger here will allow me to continue to do so with future generations to come." She said to the crowd, her voice sounding almost as bubbly and excited as everypony's favorite party thrower in Ponyville.

"Well now," Mick began. "with introductions out of the way, shall we begin?" The crowd stomped the floor in excitement. "Well, i'm convinced, let's get this show on the road! Fillies and colts, I give you... this year's kindergarten graduates!"

The curtains on stage began to open, and the class stood behind it. While some were more excited than others, they could all agree on one thing. They could not mess up with Mr.Dagger there, unless they wanted to face the consequences.
