The Badlands

“Now, exactly where are ya’ll takin’ me?” I asked, pointing to the tailor building thing.

“This is where me and my sister live!” The white one said with a smile, white as her coat.

“Sister? What is she? Like a carnival instructor?”

“Nope! She’s a tailor!” Great… Just what I needed. What’s she gonna do? Dress me in this tea party kinda clothes with a huge bow in my hair? I was ready to run outta there in a second, but I needed food and water. Bad. And that would end up being my saving grace. As we entered, it looked cliche. The walls were sparkly white and there were dresses and suits everywhere. The walls were like, white stone or something. These girls must’ve really liked white because everything was white. Like, snowball white. But in all seriousness, it was filly-like.

As I looked around at how filly-like the room was, a mare just as white as the filly but with purple hair entered the room.

“Sweetie Belle did you need something? Oh who is your friend?” She asked, looking at me.

“Oh! We found this guy and he needs a home!” The little one, I guess was named Sweetie Belle, smiled as if it were nothing.

“Sweetie, we talked about this when you found Scootaloo. We can’t just take in fillies and colts at random!” The big one sighed.

“Sorry Rarity… But he was lying in the trash.” Sweetie said with a face that was like pure sadness. I felt bad. It seemed like these two had a bad relationship or something. I would guess that a Mom and Daughter. This big one, Rarity, was looking like she was ready to give in.

“Sweetie… One night. That’s it.”

“Yay! Thanks big sis!” Oh… Guess I was wrong. But anyways, tiny Sweetie ran up and gave Rarity a hug thing. I never had a hug before, so I didn’t really care.

“Well, ya’ll mind breakin’ up the lovey dovey stuff? Ah’m starvin’!” I said impatiently. I mean, I hadn’t eaten in 3 days or drunk.

“Oh, right. My apologies. Do you happen to have a name?” Rarity asked me. Name? The only name I ever heard was Blaze… Something… Cen… Cem… Senpai? I dunno.

“Uh… Call me Blaze.”

“Blaze? Interesting name. I am Rarity, manager here. My little sister is Sweetie Belle. She has been just ama-”

“Yada yada yada. Ah’m fuckin’ starvin’! Ya’ll got some food er not?” Rarity gasped a bit when I spoke. I guess she didn’t know about cursing. I took it upon myself to give her a little lesson. Which included using those words as much as I could.

“Of course Blaze. Into the kitchen. I was just making hayburgers.”

“Fuckin’ awesome! That’s the shit.” She shuddered a bit at each “bad word” I said.

“Excuse me sir, would you mind refraining from such profane language?” She asked me as we went into the kitchen.

“Profane? The fuck does that mean?”

“Cursing, darling.” She shuddered again. I didn’t wanna, but I mean, food.

“Fine. Let’s eat!” The rest of the night was pretty uneventful. Dinner, then bed. I hadn’t gotten good sleep in my whole damn life. I guess it was cool to have a real bed instead of concrete or some shit. But the next day, I woke up to something i had only heard about prior.

“Sweetie Belle, Blaze! School!” School?! SCHOOL?! Really bitch?! I just got here! I gotta go to this dumb school?! This Sweetie Belle eventually pulled me out of bed and she showed me how to put on a stupid thingy called a backpack. She showed me a few other things, like how to write with hooves (It’s hell hard.), maths and a few other basics. She walked me there, where we met up with those same other two fillies from the day before. What were their names? Applebloom and… Scootaloo. The asshole. The three fillies showed me to a seat close to them as they all sat down in theirs.

Soon the class was beginning as a mare stood at the front of the classroom and began to talk but soon noticed me. Once she did, I knew she was ready to do the new student routine.

“Excuse me, but I see we have a new colt in the class! Sir, would you like to say your name, where you’re from and a little about yourself?” She asked in the most patronizing tone ever and I just wanted to smack her in the face hug her hard.

“Ah’m Blaze and ah’m from the fuckin’ wasteland! Ya got a problem then you can kiss mah flank!.” I got to watch her jaw drop after I said that and it was completely worth it. Some other foals around the class looked confused. These two pricks in the front giggled. That made me smile.

“Could you please refrain from using such foul language in my classroom?” She asked after recovering from her shock. Though, I could tell she was a might angry. I also got to hear the whispers of the other fillies and colts as they marveled at my use of language. Oh hell yeah, I felt good! I finally got to make others feel stupid and wanting more. After just having been told those words and they intimidated me when I first heard them. It felt good to turn it the other way.

“Why? You gonna call mah fuckin’ parents if ah don’t? News flash, toots, Ah ain’t got none.”

“No but I will call the closes thing to a guardian that you have.” The mare said slightly annoyed.

“Ah just showed up from the Badlands. Ya wanna hear a horror story? Ah was stranded for 3 damn days! NO food! No water! Ah don’t know why ah’m her. I fought and killed a stallion.  Got the blood to prove it! Ya wanna try something, sweet cheeks? Ah suggest ya drop it now before I drop ya. Got it?”

“Young colt you will be getting detention during recess for your attitude and for your foul language.”

“The fuck is recess?” I never heard of that shit before. I never really had a break.

“Recess is where you get to hang out with your friends and have fun!” One of the kids called out.

“Shut the fuck up! Ah wasn’t talkin’ to ya! Ah’m sorry, that was harsh. Here, have a lollipop.” I said in a sarcastic tone.

The mare walked over and Took Blaze by the ear as she dragged him over and placed him on a chair in the corner of the room as she said

“You're going to sit in this chair and think about what you have done.”

“Ah think ah’ve pissed ya off. Can ah go back now?”

“Go back where?” She asked sounding pretty confused.

“Mah seat.”

“You just got over here.” The mare put it bluntly.

“So? Ah thought about it bitch! What good is a chair gonna do?”

“It tends to get quite uncomfortable to sit in…. Now you may not leave this spot”

“Or what?” I said in a challenging tone. I did learn to be somewhat respectful, but she had a damn class to run. I wanted to see her reaction.

“Or else you’ll have to stay in that corner for even longer.”

“What if ah just walk out?”

“Then, you will be kept in after school detention to make up both the time and the homework for class.”

“Again.. .what if ah walk out?  Ya don’t know where ah live and you can’t reall-”

“You live with me Blaze!” Sweetie blurted out, making me facehoof.

“Sweetie.. .you bitch… Shut up!”

“Blaze you will now be serving after school detention also… I will not tolerate such crude remarks at my students nor myself.”

“What are ya gonna do? Hit me?” I smiled, knowing she wouldn’t do it.

She was know holding a ruler that was labeled ‘Good ol’ Discipline’ as she had an eyebrow raised.

“Oh shit… Big momma brought out the big guns. Hit me! Ah dare ya! Ya hit me, you’ll be on the ground in 10 seconds. Flat.” wen I said that, a few foals snickered. I eventually found out that it was a reference or something. It’s stupid. Anyways, the ruler hit right before the hoof but it stung like a bitch. I grew a big smile at the sting and turned my back to her.

“One more… Right on mah flank.”

“That would give you gratification and I’m not going to give you that.”

“Fine. Buck you.” I sprung up and bucked her in the jaw, nearly shattering it.

“See what ah did there? Instead of fuck… Ah said… Buck. It’s funny! Laugh dammit!”

She held on to her jaw as she attempted to say “Get out of my classroom…. You are expelled.”

“Hey! No! It’s self-defense! Ya hit me first!”

“He does have a point.” One pink one said with a Tiara on her head.

She set her jaw back into place as she said

“I’ll give you that… if you cause anymore problems you’ll be out of here.”

“Good. So ya got it? Ah ain’t one to push around, toots.”

“And I’m not one to be trifled with either ‘toots’” The mare said back in a mocking tone.

“Ooh… Big words. Whatever. Ah like this one.” I said, more to the class. I got up and went back to my seat with a smile. And this was just one of many events at this damn school.
