Celestia is sitting in her throne. Observing the ponies in the throne room. Prancer is standing behind a professional turntable controller with her signature black armor, with her lunar necklace. Right beside Celestia on her left. There was to two large speakers on both sides of the turntables. The ponies that are training to be the best of the best are fidgeting nervously with their hooves. Somewhere scared of Celestia, and prancer's smile plus the music.

"We shall begin," I announce to them. Music begins to fill the room. It was slow and gentle music. Music Link. After the song ends there are some of them are either deep in thought or are crying. I didn't like the ones who looked like they didn't care and thought this was a waste of time. I need the who can feel emotionally, I see Ashley she is one of the ones deep in thought. I am proud of my student I should give her a gold sticker lol. I began to play the next music. Do You Bleed

I wait (16 seconds) through the song to make my move towards Celestia. Stopping directly in front of Celestia. On the (25 second mark) I jump on Celestia and stab her with a needle she goes limp. They all gasp staring at me in shock. I run to the double doors that lead to Celestia's wing. They shake themselves off and start their hot pursuit. (36-second mark) I hear them yelling "assassin! assassin! Killed the princess!" The guards in front of my took battle stance's ready to pounce and subdue me when the time is right. But I'm smarter so jump out the window. (45-second mark). Making glass shards flying through the air. I extend my wings and begin to fly.

"Oh no you don't!"Three voice's shout in unison. I turn my head to see two Pegasus stallions to their leader she commands them to go in their formation with her in lead and one on each side flanking her. I immediately stop flapping falling towards the ground with incredible speed pointing my front hooves to the ground close together. In the last second, I flare my wings and the air pushes me into the air.

The pegasus that were chasing me just hit the ground groaning from the impact. I then glided my way back to my balcony. When I get there. I headed straight to my closet "Time for a quick change," I say to myself. "I'm going to go to the throne room I'm quite curious, of what is happening."

When I get to the throne room they are all panicking, trying to see if Celestia will wake up. There are two royal guards giving her CPR. I quickly fly over to her and whisper in her ear "Mommy," her eyes snap open. She jumped up, and hugged me making my armor "CLINK CLANK".

"Are you ok Prancer you didn't get hurt did you?" She asked with a worried look.

The crowd was all shocked to see me after I supposedly "KILLED HER". It was just a test to see the ones that would act... And fast. I'll give them bonus points to them and maybe a gold sticker:derpytongue2:. Oh well, it was just a set up to make me look like the bad guy stupid ponies for not trusting me but... They barely know me. Nah I'll just stay mad at them to make myself feel better, ya that's it.

I look around to see all the ponies in the room looking at me and Celestia. She nuzzles me making me nuzzle her back it was kind of embarrassing to be stared at... and not to mention it's rude to stare. She lets me go and I can't believe what she said I was laughing my flank off.

"It's ok, It's ok, It's just a prank, It's just a prank!" She said while waving her hooves in a gesture to calm down with a gentle smile on her muzzle. I was also cringing looking at the face when she said that in. Well, time to get out of this embarrassing situation. I pull out a small pellet on the ground creating a smoke screen. When I knew there was enough to cover my escape I dashed out of there as fast as I could...

"So... you're not evil..." I shake my head.

"No silly filly, just a simple test..." I give a reassuring smile so she doesn't feel uneasy. Play it cool, so they can listen instead of charging like "Idiots".

"...So your saying breaking, are wings and legs... was just a test!" One of the stallions snarled.

Ok, this simply can not do, It just can't. I need to get rid of this filth before they infect the others. "Well let me heal all of you." I motion with a hoof to all three of them. "The healing process should take about let's just say an hour because of your hurt pretty bad. I'll be sending all of you on leave..." The mare's eyes went wide.

"You can't do that!"

"Uh ya I can."

"W-what I-I-I what." She stammered speechless. "But why?"

"Well because of your dog here I point at the stallion who snarled at me keep barking at me when I'm the superior here not them... And not to mention that they hurt themselves because you are a powerful flyer but... They are just stupid flyers." They down their healing potions before one of the stallions get's up my face.

"You better watch your ba-" He was cut off when I put a knife to his throat.

"You were saying..." He backpedals back to the couch. "You better watch your mouth next time... Or should I say throat. I know where all you live and what you are dreaming so don't try anything am I clear!" They all nod eagerly and wobble out of the door. "Finally done taking out the trash," I mumble I chuckle a little at my own joke... that's sad.

"Ok, so now Prancer that training at the guard academy was very tiring well for the physical stuff I feel bad for the ones that do the paper test. I like what you do the real deal. Why are you not sweating not a single drop what's up?" I stick my tongue at Ashley my prize student, just like mom with the little filly Twilight Sparkle she is a cute filly... making her family proud. Gifted Unicorn... I wish I could be a unicorn then Prince Blueblood would stop teasing me to change the weather for him. Man, he is a jerk but when we all get together to play board games he is chill. Whoa, I think he is bipolar.

I and Ashley walk into an Ice cream parlor. It was like ice cream heaven we walk up to the counter. The stallion behind the counter has an ice cream cutie mark with three scoops of ice cream on a cone, a pink ice cream scoop, black scoop, white scoop. "How can I help you." He says cheerfully.

I gave a smile to be polite "Well" I begin "I would like a chocolate cone please." He finished scooping up a cone then put the chocolate then gave it to me. Then it was Ashley's turn.

"I would like a vanilla cone please." He was quick to scoop her's up and hand it to her. I threw the bits on the counter and a little bag with the words tip stitched on to it. Then I and Ashley headed towards a booth.

"So when were you going to tell me you were a princess hmm?" I blushed and tried to cover my face with a hoof. But still continued to eat my ice cream with the other.

"Well um, I want to be called a teacher from you, not a princess... Unless I do something awesome and the papers want my name then tell them that I'm a princess." I wink. Ashley began to laugh out loud. Some ponies that were sitting close to us started glancing at us , but we ignored them.

"Well princess." I face hoof.

"Just shut up," I mutter.

"OK, Princess if that is what you wish." She laughs at me.

"I hate you so much you know that." I glare at her. "I'm not going to get you your armor until next year if you don't shut it." Ashley stopped laughing instantly her pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks.

"What you never said anything about getting that unique armor your guards have."

"Well, they... Are more like past students. But other then that if you keep up the good work until the middle of next month you should have your armor... SHOULD!" I raised my voice slightly.

"If you get it then you technically graduate," I say with a grin.

"Really just four months of training plus one more and a few days, so five months and a few days. Whoa, that is way faster than trying to join the royal guard."

"Now when we get back to the castle I'm going to teach you combat training ok." Ashley nods anxiously and I and her down are ice creams.
