        Just behind Canterlot High School, two teams of hoof-ball players entirely composed of teenage male Earth ponies are playing on a seventy-five by one hundred yard field. Behind both teams are stands filled with ponies of all three species, and the ponies behind one of the teams wearing white and blue colors are Amity and her friends. Both teams have been playing for an hour and thirty minutes and are sweating profusely. The opposing coaches' voices are raspy from yelling at their players, opponents, and referees throughout the intense game.

        The score is two to two, and the game will end when the next team scores. In the field are twenty-two players with two in the center, and a male unicorn referee wearing a vertical black and white striped shirt and a whistle hanging from his neck stands between the players holds a thick black and white ball with a hexagon pattern with his magic. He sets the ball down on the grassy field and walks away leaving the two tired conflicting ponies staring each other down. With is right hoof, the referee brings the whistle to his mouth and blows through it, and within a second, the player for the home team kicks the ball to the right with his front right hoof with his rival following close behind.

        The audience behind the home team cheers in great enthusiasm as the player controls the ball. He passes through all of his opponents with all of them trailing behind him. He then passes the ball to another player to his right and that player passes the ball to another member to his left who kicks the sphere to the goal. However, the goalie from the contrasting team blocks the shot by jumping in front of the ball and pushing it away from the goal, but instead of grabbing the sphere and throwing it to a team member, it bounces back onto the field where another home player controls the ball. However, a rival player dashes in front of him and tries to steal the object. The two struggle to take control of it with their team mates circling around them to pass the sphere. Suddenly, the home player kicks the ball to his left to a team member. The player sees a small opening between his member who just passed the ball and the rival member in front of him where the goalie is not near, and hesitation and relying on luck, the player kicks the ball between the two ponies which catches the goalie off guard who lunges to block the shot but misses. The home team has won the game.

        The audience behind the home team cheers extremely loud and ponies all in the stands start hugging and jumping in the stands including Amity and her friends. After screaming in excitement, the ponies release each other, and Amity’s unicorn friend says, "They won! Thank Celestia, they won!"

        "Too bad it's the last game of the school year, though," Amity's Earth pony friend replies.

        "True, Vanilla," Amity responds, "But at least they won the last game and can leave the school year on a positive note."

        "Yeah," the unicorn friend says. She then notices a tall, tan, muscular team member giving hoof bumps to his team mates on the field. She elbows Amity against her shoulder and says playfully, "Hey, Amity. There's your boyfriend."

        She and Vanilla giggles while Amity sees the player and blushes. She then yells at them, "He's not my boyfriend! Sure, he’s a sweet guy, and I like him but not that way."

        "Sure, we believe you," the unicorn friend says back sarcastically.

        "Shut up, Evening! I mean it!" Amity yells at her unicorn friend.

        The crowd exist the stands by walking to the bottom row and walk either to the left or right onto the ground and being directed where to walk off the school property by school faculty. The three young ponies exit as well and walk off the school property. After leaving the school grounds, the band of friends and walk down a road which leads to downtown Canterlot which the girls must walk through in order to reach their individual homes, but no more than twenty feet after leaving the school area, a female Earth pony with an arrogant smile approaches the trio.

        The teenage pony stands in front of the trio and says, “Well, well, well, if it isn’t the great Princess Amity, or should I say ‘Princess Blank’?”

        Amity stares at the Earth pony with an egotistical smile of her own and replies, “Good to see you too, Jiggy Rich, or should I say ‘The Idiot Not Graduating with Her Classmates’?”

        “Oh,” Evening behind Amity shouts excitingly, “you got burned!”

        Jiggy Rich shows the bottom of her left hoof to Evening and replies, “Whatever, talk to the hoof.”

        Amity then asks, “What do you want?”

        The overconfident Earth pony lowers her hoof and answers, “Nothing from you! I’m here for something of mine that you don’t have: a boyfriend.”

        “So?” Amity sharply replies, “That makes you better than me? Let me remind you something, I’m a princess and graduating high school, and you are part of a family filled with their heads up their plots and the only one of our entire senior class not graduating. So, who’s better here?”

        Evening and Vanilla simultaneously holler, “Oh!” which makes the young princess proud and puts on a proud expression.

        Jiggy drops her mouth wide open and responds furiously, “What does make me better is actually being a somepony like being cheerleader captain, having a cutie mark which makes you pathetic for being a freaking princess, and not having a thousand year, benevolent, hypocritical hag for a mom!”

        Amity’s smile quickly fades away and turns into an intensely irate scowl. Keeping her eyes on the cocky pony, Amity lowers her head and breathes slow while Jiggy Rich makes a supercilious smile. Evening then steps in front of Amity and shouts at Jiggy Rich, “How dare you?! Do you have any idea what Celestia has done for you?! Heck, if Celestia knows you’ve been talking about her like that…”

        Vanilla then steps beside her and yells, “Insulting Amity is one thing but insulting Celestia is going too far! I should shove my hoof down your throat!”

        “Move,” Amity tells her friends in an angry and even scary tone. Her friends turn to see her breathing heavily with intense eyes, but they quickly notice something odd about them. The iris of Amity’s eyes was not gold as usual but rather an eerie blood red color. Evening tries to ask about her eyes but is suddenly halted by Amity by screaming at them, “Move!” Even though they know something is wrong, they move out of her way slowly. As soon as her two friends move, Amity dashes at Jiggy and head-butts the spoiled pony in her face.

        Jiggy falls to the ground, rubs her forehead, and screams in pain. Suddenly, she picked up by Amity’s magic, but instead of her regular gold aura, the aura is blood red as well. Then, Amity with Jiggy constricted in her magic flies straight up into the air. Amity’s friends try to stop her but are not fast enough to do anything and can only watch Amity fly to the sky. With Jiggy screaming, Amity flies higher and higher. Once she stops, Amity turns Jiggy upside down where she is staring at the ground, and she immediately sees they are so high in the sky the tallest tower of Celestia’s castle is several meters below them.

        Jiggy starts to cry, looks at Amity with the blood red eyes, and pleads, “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Please put me down!”

        Amity responds in a deep sadistic voice, “You pathetic, worm. I have tolerated you for nearly five years, and I have had it! I should let you drop right now! In fact, I will because I can’t stand your guts! I absolutely and always have ha…”

        “Princess Amity!” Celestias voice suddenly echoes from below the two ponies. As soon as she hears her mother, Amity’s eyes and aura turn back to their gold color, and her anger vanishes. After her aggression disappears, she sees Jiggy being held in her magic, upside down, and several meters in the air. Celestia flies in front of her and yells, “What do you think you’re doing?! Lower her down, now!” Amity starts descending to the ground slowly with Celestia following her. After a couple of minutes, Amity, Celestia, and Jiggy all touch the ground near in front of Evening and Vanilla who both have expressions of shock, and as soon as she touches the ground, Jiggy Rich runs away quickly. Celestia orders her daughter, “Meet me in the throne room.” She then flies into the air and heads to the castle swiftly.

        Before leaving, Amity looks at her friends with expressions of fear. She walks towards them, but they move away with every step. Amity stops walking and then says, “Girls. I…I…” She starts to form tears and flies to the castle without finishing talking to her friends.
