"Hurry up Potato, we'll be late for Social Studies!" shouted Star Speller as she teleported down the halls. Potato was flying directly behind her, attempting to keep up. As they were flying and teleporting down the stairs, a large crumbling sound was heard as the stairs began to collapse. Many unicorns began to simply teleport to the bottom, but Star Speller's magic was weaker than the larger unicorns' magic. Just before the crumbling stairs let her fall, she was picked up and carried down to solid ground. Looking up, she realized Potato Crisp had saved her life.

"That was... close." sighed Potato. "I think we shouldn't try going up stairs anymore. You should stand on a desk and teleport to the next floor, and take some others with-" He was cut off by Star teleporting directly above him and giving him the tightest hug he had ever felt. Getting up, Star teleported the two of them to Social Studies. The bell rang just after they got there, and they sat down. The announcement alarm blared, and a PSA began to play around the school.

"Attention students and teachers of Lyker High school of North Canterlina. There have been multiple staircases collapsing, and I would like to ask all unicorns and pegasi to take at least one non-flying or non-teleporting pony with them due to the fact that here at Lyker, we are not racist. The school will be closed earlier than usual, it will be closed before 8th period. Thank you and stay away from the remaining staircases."
rambled the principal. Her voice was fearful, as if their lives were in danger. After all, they were not in any danger at all. Right?

Nope!

Star was walking over the balcony to get to Tech Innovation And Design. Potato was flying behind her, heading to Biology. A large crumbling sound was heard. "Oh Shit..." was the last words out of the unicorn's mouth before she fell.

"Star? Star? D-don't... D-don't die... please..."
"Don't die on me... DON'T DIE ON ME STARLIGHT SPELLER! PLEEEAAAAASE!"
"Oh, Star..."
"STWAAAAAR! EEEEEEEEEEEGH!"
"Shut up, Cornicopia."

"Uhhhmrrgh. What the hell?" said Star, waking up unable to move her body. She realized that she was being hugged half to death by her family and two friends. "Mom, Dad, Cornie, Potato, Bell, I'm okay. Please... get off. You're gonna suffocate me." That one word got everyone off of her. Suffocate. Getting up, she asked "How am I alive and unharmed?"

"I caught you about two feet off the ground." replied Potato. All heads nodded in agreement. Star dusted herself off and ambush hugged Potato. His wings flew out, causing the AC to blow the two ponies away and nearly into a nearby wall if Star had not teleported them back out of the way of the AC.
