Raspberry Girl

I adjusted my saddlebags as I walked into Class 12-L. Sunshine Glimmer was sitting at Mrs. Chrysanthemum's desk.

"What are you doing at the teacher's desk?" I ask. "The rest of the class isn't here yet, so you can't show anything." Sunshine Glimmer laughs.

"Silly Raspberry Girl!" Sunshine giggles. "I'm practicing my new spell!" Just them I cast one called, 'Dirt and Dust Repell' and Reverse it onto Sunshine.

Her bright pink mane and tail are coated with black soot from some failed spells. Her teal coat has gray dust all over it. Her golden yellow sunglasses that she wears are now dark gray. The only original color of her is her purple eyes.

"Eek!" She shrieks. "Get it off! Get it off!" She lights her horn, and in a flash of yellow, all of the dirt and dust are gone.

"Silly Sunshine Girl!" I giggle. "I'm practicing my new spell!" I smirk. Sunshine frowns.

"We all know that trick. Seriously, what's your new spell?" She asks. I know she's gonna try to learn it before me, so I preform a trick I like to call 'Fireworks Imbrace'. Silently, I chant the words.

Fireworks, Fireworks

In the night,

Hope I don't botch this,

Please let me do it right!

I thought of the colors blue, black, gold, purple, slightly less purple, and pale blue. Fireworks erupted all around me, dazzling Sunshine Glimmer.

"Woah!" She gasps, "What spellbook is that in?"

"Starswirl The Bearded's Illusions and Tricks Volume 6.8," I reply. Sunshine's mouth closes as the fireworks die down.

"I need that book! Forget the spell I was gonna do earlier!" She quickly goes to our spellbook supply. I quickly intervene.

"No!" I begin. "I'm the most powerful unicorn in our class! That spell was difficult for me! Goddess knows what'll be the effects if you don't do it right!" Sunshine scoffs.

"See if I care!" She resumed looking at the spellbooks.

"I have a bad feeling about this." I leave the room to go to the library.

My hoofsteps are silent when I walk into the library. The smell of books assault my nose. I wrinkle my nose.

"Any better Miss Hearts?" I turn and see Mrs. Silent Quill towering over me. I smirk.

"No. Maybe those books in the oven are burning. Might wanna check that." I laugh a little. Silent Quill may look scary and intimidating, but she's really nice. She smiles before levitating me a package about ten times my size.

"Here's all of the spellbooks here," She begins, "try not to explode anything!" She laughs and I do too.

"How many spellbooks?" I ask. Silent Quill thinks for a moment.

"Well, the other classes let me borrow those books, so about 6,460?" She shrugs. "I honestly don't know." I gape for a moment.

"So much knowledge! So many new spells!" I smile wide as I tackle the librarian. "You're the best! How can you even stand us wayward fillies?" Silent laughes.

"I went here. You know class 12-K's teacher?" I nod before she continues. "Miss Peony was in her early 20's when I was in her class. She still teaches like a boring old coot when I was here. Anyway, she asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up.

"I raised my hoof and said 'I want to be a Spell Master'. She looked at me and said, 'Why would you like to be one'. I replied, 'Giving knowledge to other ponies makes me feel good'. She said, 'Why not a librarian? You will have the same desired effect'.

"I began studying librarian protocol. Learning about every author and became this school's old librarian, Ms. Dusty Cover's, apprentice. I began reading every book in this library back then. I studied and helped so hard, that when I turned sixteen, Ms. Dusty Covers turned the library over to me. Now everyday, I flip through my old yearbook and remember my times."

"Aww...." I say. "That's such a sweet story! Too bad the Miss Peony's even more of an old coot!" I stick my tongue out.

"Little Raspberry?" Silent asks.

"Yes Ma'am?" I reply.

"Shouldn't you be in class 12-L?" I look at the clock.

"Oh no!" I cry. "Our piano demonstrations are almost over!" I hug my beloved librarian before struggling to levitate the package of books.

"Thank you! Have a good day!" I call before I'm out of the library.

"Miss Hearts!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum scolds. "You are ten minutes late! What do you have to say for yourself...." Mrs. Chrysanthemum looks at my enormous package.

"What is that?!" She asks. I'm struggling in levitating it, so she helps, turning my raspberry aura into a light green aura.

"Thank you," I say, adjusting my skirt. "And to your first statement, I was at the library picking up all of these spellbooks. Mrs. Quill had every class give her the spellbooks. I just need the spellbooks in our class to complete this."

"Nerd!" A filly name Blue Rose jeers. I roll my eyes.

"Miss Hearts, while I admire your quest for knowledge, you must make it to class on time. Do you understand?" Mrs. Chrysanthemum's stern voice has an air of pride. She's happy because I made it to class late because of the library.

"I understand Ma'am." I say, looking down.

"Good. You may be seated." As I trot back to my seat, Sunshine Glimmer's magical aura wraps my mane around my hooves and I fall down.

"AH! HA! HA! HA!' Class 12-L laughs. I decide to levitate myself to my seat. As I plop down and try to make myself obsolete, Mrs. Chrysanthemum speaks.

"Miss Glimmer, I believe you have a spell you would like to show?" Sunshine grins.

"Yes I do. It's called 'Fireworks Imbrace'!" She proudly states. I lean over to Rosy Posey, the only girl in class who is remotely nice to me.

"Rhyme Time," I say, grabbing her attention. "That spell she's gonna do is hard for a unicorn like her! The results could be terrible!"

"Oh no!" Rosy says, twirling a pieces of rose red hair. "I don't want to die!"

"Ahem!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum clears her throat. "Miss Glimmer is about to preform the spell!" Sunshine began chanting.

"Fireworks, Fireworks

In the night,

Hope I don't botch this,

Please let me do it right!"

Her horn lit as fireworks of many color started to appear.

"Wow," The class says in awe.

"HAHA!" Sunshine cheers. "I'm doing it!"

The horn started sparking. I, immediately worried did one of my flaws.

Yell at ponies when I have no right to.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!" I yell. I TOLD YOU ABOUT HOW COMPLICATED THE SPELL IS! LOOK! THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO GO LIKE THIS!"

"Watch out!" Sunshine screams. A beam of magic narrowly misses me........

.......Only to set the back wall on fire.

"Everypony out! Siren Song! Warn the other classes and Mrs. Silent Quill!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum orders. "Single file line!"

I levitate the spellbooks from our class library and start dragging my package. Soon, Siren Song's shrill voice sounds as my class finishes going without me.

"EVERPONY! GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! A FIRE IS IN CLASS 12-L'S ROOM! EVACTUATE! I REPEAT! EVACUTATE!"

I now understand why Mrs. Chrysanthemum chose Siren Song for the task. Soon, Siren's in the room, taking everpony's things.

She coughs. "What are you doing?!" Fire is licking at me. "Do you have a spell on you?"

"Yes!" I reply. "The flames won't hurt me, you, or the spellbooks! I need help getting my package out!" Siren looks at me.

"Okay!" She yells as the fire's roar grows louder. "I'll help you, but hurry!" She quickly adds her purple aura to mine.

"Okay!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum says. "All of class 12-L please send off your magical signature when I call your name!"

"Rose Quartz!" A powder pink flare shot in the sky.

"Blue Rose!" A deep blue flare shot up.

"Amazonite!" A amazonaite colored flare shot.

"Robin Tweet!" A red flare shot.

"Rosy Posey!" A light pink flare shot.

"Layla Hearts!" No flare went up. "Layla Hearts?!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum whipped her head around frantically.

"Layla's still in the fire!"

Just because I had put up a spell for prevention of the fire eating us didn't mean we couldn't die of smoke inhalation.

"Just a little bit more!" I urged. Siren and I were near the door. Siren was coughing madly.

"Please Layla!" Her voice sounded like rocks. "We need to get out soon!" I focused my magic and a funnel was pumping clean air into Siren.

"Don't talk!" I said. "It'll stop the thing giving you fresh air." Siren nodded as we have one final push and were out the door, package and all.

"Layla Grace Hearts! Siren Warble Song! What were you doing in the fire!" Mrs. Chrysanthemum was crying once she saw Siren's state. A few deep rumbles sounded from the fire, signaling it was gonna blow.

"Everypony! Teleport away!" I yell. I teleport my teacher, my classmate, all of the spellbooks, and myself away just before the fire exploded.

My class shed a tear.

Miss Peony's Academy For Wayward Fillies was gone.
