Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

For a while, Principal Cinch’s new rules remained in place, despite the numerous attempts at protests and defiance from many of the students.

It wasn’t long before just about the entire school was full of students dressed in nothing but diapers, as a result of them attempting to challenge Principal Cinch’s control of Crystal Prep.

But at last, Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare decided that enough was enough, and the time had come for them to take action!

“You sure this is the right number to call?” Sunny Flare asked Sugarcoat, as she whipped out her cell phone.

Sugarcoat nodded “I double checked and then triple checked all my sources. What Principal Cinch is doing clearly goes against several decades worth of thinking, not to mention the concept involving ‘Separation of Church and State’. There is no way I would not memorize this number. Just one call will be enough to put an end to our troubles.”

“Well, I’ll do it,” Sunny Flare gulped, and dialed in the number to contact the school board “But if Principal Cinch comes after us for this, I’m going to say it was all your idea.”

“And I will say it was Lemon Zest’s idea, and she’ll say Indigo Zap was the traitor,” Sugarcoat explained “We’re all in this together. We’ll keep giving Cinch the run around until we finally bring her down!”

Sunny Flare then silence Sugarcoat, while she put her cell phone on speaker “Hello, I would like to President Spoiled Rich of the Crystal Prep School Board,” Sunny Flare said seriously “It is my opinion that Principal Cinch is promoting child abuse, sexism, defiance of ‘Separation of Church and State’, and apology of Franchist-brand Fascism.”

When Spoiled Rich took a tour of Crystal Prep a few days later, she found out that the information was true. Principal Cinch’s new rules clearly went against school board policy, and social and political beliefs of the 21st century.

“Where is Principal Cinch?!” Spoiled Rich demanded “This cannot be allowed to continue!”

“I am right here,” Principal Cinch spoke up, carefully adjusting her glasses “I must say, it is an honor to have you here, despite the short notice, Mrs. Tiara.”

But Spoiled Rich wasted no time in lashing out at Principal Cinch “Why do I see so many students beyond preschool wearing diapers, and nothing but diapers?! Why have you separated student lessons according to gender?! And why have I seen nothing but religious decorations and prayer guides littering the school grounds?!”

“If you must know, a few of my students thought it would be funny to challenge my authority, and encourage lawlessness and anarchy on school property,” Principal Cinch spoke up “They flashed me, feigned incontinence, and disrupted classes with their protesting! And all because they don’t like how I’m running things! Under the circumstances, I’ve been shockingly nice! I was actually thinking about only allowing the ways of thinking that are in line with my religious background, but I believed the current changes to the rules would be enough!”

Upon hearing this, Spoiled Rich became red in the face, and looked ready to explode “Do you have any idea how badly this makes me and the rest of the school board look?!” she complained, yanking Principal Cinch by the ear “As president of the school board, I demand that you reverse these rules at once, and resign from your post with all possible speed! The students who complained to me were right, what you are doing could get us all into trouble with the state!”

“So bring on the lawsuit and let the moral guardians challenge me! If I am persecuted for my beliefs, so be it!” Principal Cinch insisted “I have worked hard to build up this school’s reputation as a flawless academic institution, and I will not allow a few bad seeds to ruin all of my hard work!”

“Well, ex-Principal Cinch, I would say it’s been an honor to work with you, but that would be lying,” Dean Cadence (currently in the process of being promoted to Principal Cadence) said, as Cinch began to pack up her things “I warned you what would happen if you continued to ignore the changes, and refused to let me take over. Perhaps, if you had just given me your position earlier, I could’ve arranged for you to stay on the staff as a janitor. But no one is going to hire you after what you tried to do. Child abuse and sexism are serious offenses!”

“I promise you, this isn’t over. It never shall be." Cinch vowed, as she stormed out of the principal's office in disgrace “Somehow, someway, you will all pay for this! When this school’s academic performance starts to slip, and we continue to be bested by the likes of Canterlot High, do not come crying to me!”

Cadence quickly set to work on reversing the rules Cinch had instated. She knew it was going to take a long time to completely undo all of them, and restore faith in Crystal Prep, but she owed to herself, and to the school as a whole, to try her hardest.

“First things first,” Cadence said to herself “That diaper law has got to go!”
