A whistle sounded at the Dash household. Prism woke up lazily and looked over at the calendar.

"It's the first day of school."Prism bounced out of bed and did her hair. She just put it in a simple braid seeing as she wasn't much for beauty.

"Mama,daddy it's the first day of school," Prism said as her older brother and sister fought over a cookie for what had to be the hundredth time.

"You pig,at least I have the decency to limit myself to one cookie and you go and eat half the jar," Lightning said as she pursued Thunder in the air.

"Well I don't see your name on it so come and get it prissy princess,"he teased as he was chased around the room by Lightning.

"Oh you're gonna pay." Rainbow walked in to see her children flying around like crazy. She growled,

"STOP SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR LITTLE SISTERS!!!,"this caught the twins attention,"now Thunder give Lightning her cookie, and stop eating them behind my back. Prism, Cumulus go wake up your lazy father and make sure you have everything you need." Rainbow was tired of all the fighting. She heard a scream coming from Midnight,

"I told you not to put pencils in my horn!" Typical. Her daughters and her husband walk into the room. The changeling had a pencil stuck in his horn. He walked over to Rainbow and gave her a look that said help me.

"Mom! I can't find my-hey! Give my book back Cumulus," Prism yelled.

"But it's mine,it's in Braill-oh it IS yours,"said Cumulus as she handed Prism her book back. Prism opened her bag, and a bad smell came out.

"Um what's that smell," Rainbow Dash said as she checked the kitchen.

"Mom the smell is coming from my bag." Rainbow walked over to Prism and looked through her saddlebags. Rainbow cringed as she pulled out a stink bomb. Lightning and Thunder snickered.

"Thunder,Lightning! Drop and give me twenty!" Rainbow commanded. Midnight sighed as he saw the twins do twenty push ups.

"Mom we're going to be late for school!" Prism yelled as she ran out the door.

"Woah, Prism you know that you can't fly. Hey same for you Cumulus!"

"I don't fly because you won't let me but I can fly!"

"Well what do you expect when I'm overprotective and you're blind!"

"Um can't we just go to school,"

"Well if we're talking about flying might as well bring up that RAINBOW DASH the best flyer in all of equestria, won't let her daughter get an inch off the ground!!!"

"Um guys we're going to be late."

"Oh so now it's disrespect."

"WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO TO SCHOOL." This caught everyone's attention.

"She's right,both of you get on my back."

"Actually can I carry Prism." Rainbow smiled and pushed Prism towards her father. Prism gladly got on Midnights back and within a second the family was in the air.


"Hey Lightning can you clear the eastern edge of Ponyville."

"Sure can Thunderlane." With that said a clap of thunder sounded in the distance. Lightning rolled her eyes and flew over to the eastern side of Ponyville.

"Hey Lightning," Screwball said while floating around a rain cloud. Lightning made a squeak as Screwball changed her coat color. Thunder came flying out of nowhere and started laughing hysterically when he saw Lightning's cyan coat changed to pink. Groaning, Lightning continued busting clouds.


Prism gulped as she got off of her dad's back. Rainbow knew that she was nervous and helped her balance when she touched the ground.

"Everything will be fine. Also please take care of your sister, you know how she gets when some pony comments about her eyes. Love you, bye have a good day at school." Prism took Cumulus by the hoof and dragged her to the steps of the school.

"I'm still wondering how we have kids without a messed up horn or something, I get the green eyes but they aren't like a changelings eyes," Midnight commented as he watched them go.

"I guess we just got lucky and they took mostly after me. I'm glad that they won't be picked on because of their looks." With that Midnight and Rainbow took off to the eastern bit of Ponyville.


"Um miss Cheerilee um Cumulus is sensitive about comments on her eyes," Prism said.

"Don't worry I know." Prism nodded and dragged Cumulus inside with her. She found two empty seats in the back of the room and walked towards them. She made Cumulus take the corner seat and took the seat next to her.

"Okay class turn to the pony next to you and introduce yourself." All the foals in the room did as they were told. Cumulus turned to Prism and introduced herself. Prism rolled her eyes and did the same. Turning to the right Prism found an indigo colt with a black mane and tail and blue eyes.

"Hi I'm Prism and my aunt Scootaloo is a dancer." The colt stared for a bit than said,

"I'm Winter Wind and my mom is a snowflake maker in the Cloudsdale weather factory, also your wings are smaller than mine." As he said this Prism lowered her head in shame. He was about to apologize when miss Cheerilee told everyone to stop talking and listen,

"Okay everypony, we will start with the little filly in the back corner. Now wait for a second and let me do mine first. Hi everypony, my name is Miss Cheerilee and I'm a happy teacher here at the schoolhouse, now you may come up and state your name and something interesting about yourself or your family."

"Hello my name is Cumulus and my mom,my sister and I love to ice skate every winter." With that Prism got up and Cumulus sat down.

"M-my n-n-nam-me is-s Pr-pris-sm and m-my aunt Sc-Scootaloo is-s and-danc-cer." Prism sat down and Winter wind came up. This continued for awhile but Prism didn't pay attention to the rest of the introductions. When they were finished Miss Cheerilee started the lesson. Prism did her work quietly and occasionally helped Cumulus with hers. When the lunch and recess bell rang and Prism made sure that she and Cumulus were the last ones out. When they were walking out a bucket of red paint spilled on Prism's head. She looked around and saw Winter Wind smirking. She quietly ate her lunch and plotted about how to get him back.

"Um can I go play," Cumulus asked as they finished their lunch.

"Sure, just wait for me real quick." Prism packed up her lunch and put it in her saddle bags. As soon as she was done she asked Cumulus where she wanted to go. When she said swings she saw that only one was available so she lead Cumulus over to it. Cumulus sat down and asked for a tiny push. Prism smiled and got up to push her when a rock hit her leg.

"Hey who threw that!" she asked

"Who threw what."

"Nothing Cumulus." Prism got on her hind legs to push Cumulus. She continued to sit and push Cumulus until the bell rang to signal that recess was over. She stopped Cumulus and got her off the swing. Miss Cheerilee continued the lesson. Prism kept feeling pricks of paper poking her side. She didn't lash out or get irritated, she just continued her work until the day was done. Prism once again made sure that they were the last to leave, not because she was scared, but she wanted to watch the prank that she set up. SPLASH! A bucket of orange paint came crashing down on Winter Wind. Prism snickered as did Cumulus. Prism dragged Cumulus out the door and saw Rainbow and Midnight standing there laughing their heads off. Prism walked up to them, Cumulus still in tow. Whe Rainbow saw Prism she gasped.

"Honey what happened? Why are you covered in red paint?" Prism simply pointed to Winter. Rainbow snickered as she figured out how that bucket of paint came crashing down on the colt. Midnight sighed as he crouched to let Prism on his back. They took off and once again a rock hit Prism.

"Ow." Midnight looked at her when they landed. Rainbow opened the door to see, exhausted Lightning and Thunder. She smiled as they walked in. Thunder looked up,

"What happened to your mane Prism?" He got his answer when she sat down and told them everything that happened that day. When she finished Thunder and Lightning were in hysterics.

"Come on Prism lets wash that paint out," Rainbow said as she lead Prism upstairs. Cumulus asked about the twins day. The twins looked at each other and groaned.


"Come on Prism get in the shower I'll help wash it out!" Rainbow yelled as she tried forcing Prism in the tub. Prism gave in and got in the shower. After hours of scrubbing they got the paint out.

"Geez, I would have been happy if you got dumped when you were leaving. How long did you say that was in there?"

"Three and a half hours." Prism's stomach growled. Rainbow lead them downstairs to see everyone eating.

"Finally, what were you scrubbing in there?!" Thunder exclaimed as he saw them coming down. Rainbow rolled her eyes and sat down. Prism hesitated knowing that she would have to tell them everything that happened that day. After a few seconds she sat down.

"So you care to tell what you did at school Prism?" Midnight asked as she sat down.

"Well I got a bucket of paint spilled on me,a rock thrown at me and an annoying neighbor who won't stop poking me." Prism saw Cumulus's face and quickly added," don't worry it was Winter Wind not you Cumulus." Cumulus sighed in relief.
