I'm not a foal

Katie sat at a table eating with all her friends around her. She couldn't taste the food or hear what they were saying but she didn't care. The area around her was unfocused and she the pictures on the wall were hard to see. Just then Apple Jack turned into a ice cream sundae and jumped on the table so Pinkie Pie could drink her. Twilight stood away from the group and began to dance, then she was joined by Princess Celestia who came cartwheeling through the door. That's normal Katie thought to herself. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy raced out of the door while Rarity tried to eat the table. A creepy laugh resounded across the land and Katie was shook out of her dream.

Katie sat up from where she was sleeping and looked around. The room was so dark she couldn't see her own hoof in her face, she thought she saw something move in front of  her but sat back when it approached her. "Hello sleepy head," Discord said.

"What time is it,"Katie yawned "has Celestia even raised the sun yet?"

"Nope." He replied. "Which is good because I need to talk to you without Twilight bursting in."

"Okay, so what did you want to talk about?" She asked.

"I have a proposition," Discord started as he sat next to Katie. "Would you like to continue being a foal, or would you like to 'grow up' a little. If you choose option A nothing will change, but if you choose B then I will age you up to a filly for one day. Be noted that if I do age you up you will have to pay that day back by another day as a foal."

Discord looked at her expecting her to say tons of reasons for and against or to sit there and think for hours, but when he looked at her she had a huge smile on her face. "B, option B. I want to pick B," she repeated.

Discord sighed, this was not as fun as he thought it was. Maybe he could have some other fun throughout the day. Katie was still smiling, for whatever reason, she looked up to him as he snapped his lion paw. When the sound of it touched her ears Katie fell straight asleep, he looked at her and snapped one more time before leaving.

When Katie awoke the second time it was due to somepony shouting so loud that some of the items in the room shook.  "KATIE WAKE UP IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL!" It screamed, she instantly recognized it as Twilight's voice. Not moments later Twilight burst into the room magically carrying a dark blue saddle bag ,that resembled Katie's mane, and enough  pencils to fill it three times over. "I hope you're ready because we are leaving in ten minuets." Twilight said as if she was in a rush.

Katie glanced at a clock on the wall. "Bit I just woke up," she groaned. "And it's not even 7 am."

"Now now Katie, there is no harm in arriving to school early."

"But the sun still isn't raised." She whined.

"No buts, go get breakfast Spike made pancakes" Twilight sang.

Katie ran straight to the kitchen at the thought of eating solid food again. She charged in while Spike was still cooking and almost bucked the door of its hinges to get to her delicious pancakes. Spike jumped at the sound of the door and turned to see the sight of a very hungry filly trying to get to a plate of pancakes in the middle of the table.

"Oh here you go Katie." He said as he moved the plate closer. The second it was close to her she began to ravenously devour each pancake faster than pony comprehension. "Wow," Spike said in disbelief "you must have really wanted those pancakes." Katie enthusiastically nodded with a mouth full of pancakes.

Just the Twilight walked in still holding the enormous amount of pencils. "Twili- mom isn't that too many pencils?" Katie asked while thinking where Twilight would find this many pencils.

Twilight put all the pencils on the table. "Oh nonsense you can never have too many pencils. Now get your saddle bag so I can put them in." Twilight said.

Katie ran upstairs still remembering the time she had to be at school by and retrieved the bag from by her bed, When she entered the kitchen she threw it on the table. When she caught eyes on the bag Twilight began stuffing the bag full to the brim of pencils.

With a bag full of pencils on her back and an extremely annoyed dragon in the kitchen Katie thought it was about time to actually go to school.

With the school yard in sight Katie picked up the pace for two reasons. One: Twilight would not stop talking about how one day Katie could be the smartest pegasus in Equestria, and two: she actually liked school.

When Katie was a filly she was bullied pretty badly in school, but out of school she always practiced her flying. She would challenge every pegasus her age to a race and if she lost she would practice for weeks before trying again. When everypony saw how well she was doing they began to go easy on her and eventually respect her. The idea of doing all this again not only excited her it also worried her. Katie had seen the results of bullying first hoof and she knew that this school wasn't well known for it's friendly classmates.

Slowing down as she reached the front door and noticed something off, She looked around and confirmed her suspicions. No pony was here. Katie looked up to the sun by its positioning it should be about 8:30. So where was everypony. She pushed the doors with all her strength but nothing worked. By this point Twilight had caught up to her and began to get confused. "Where is everypony?" Twilight asked. Katie shrugged and continued to push the door.

Meanwhile Twilight began to think about if she made a spell that caused ponies to be invisible. Then she thought of something more rational, the days of the week. Twilight blushed red at her mistake and let out a lone."ooooooooooooooooh."

"What is it?" Katie asked.

"I forgot it is a Saturday," she said giggling nervously.

"WHAT!" Katie screamed loudly. "Your telling me you woke me up while it was still dark, rushed me around the house and flooded me with pencils. ON A SATURDAY!"

Twilight backed away slowly, she did not want to be anywhere near a raging filly especially if it was born out of an alicorn princess. "Hey look it's Apple Bloom." Twilight said as she pointed into a direction. Katie made the mistake of looking for the yellow earth pony because the next thing she heard was a "poomf" and Twilight was gone.

Before she could complain anymore Apple Bloom shouted over to her. "What yall  doin' by the school? Didn't ya know it's a Saturday." After hearing this Katie hit her head on the school door, already regretting choosing option B. Thanks Discord I appreciate this she thought sarcastically.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by a yellow hoof waving in front of her. "What?" She said shaking her head.

"Ah said do you want to come crusading with me and my friends?"

"But I already have my cutie mark." Katie replied.

"That doesn't mean you can't come play with us."

"Okay fine," she said. "As long as there is no crazy games like raising somepony from the dead."

"We only did that once." Apple Bloom whined.
