"UGH!" Sweetie Belle cried angrily, face-planting on the desk she was sitting at.

"What's the matter, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked, trotting down the stairs and into the room.

"It's this dumb homework I have to do!" the filly yelled, gesturing to the worksheet in front of her, "It's just too hard."

"Oh, come now, Sweetie Belle, I'm sure I can help you," Rarity stated with a smile, walking over to the table, "I'm sure it can't be that hard."

Her smile melted into a look of horror when she saw that the sheet had multiple questions on algebra and calculus.

Once they were outside, Rarity squeezed Spike and fire shot out of his mouth onto the paper like a flamethrower as Sweetie Belle watched.

"It's alright, Sweetie. It can't hurt you anymore." Rarity whispered dramatically.
