The Principal & The Student

"Um I can see that." Skull said as Cinch moved the hand on his balls to his other shoulder, "What are you proposing exactly? A date?"

"My dear boy I am far too old for you."

"Then why does it look like you wanna get into my pants?"

"Over time I've found that pressure to the lower region can clear one's mind."

"Maybe to a girl, but with a boy, they're more sensitive."

"I know." Cinch said

I can't believe I'm gonna say this. Skull thought

"Look. Just because you're older than me doesn't mean we cant do date to make sure I don't get in trouble. I never saw age as a restriction. It's a free country you should do what you want!" Skull thought

"Though people prefer more security over freedom anyways."

"Yeah, true." Skull said, "Still. Let me ask you this? When was the last time you went on a date or even fell in love?"

Cinch stopped rubbing Skull's shoulders and was being reluctant in answering.

"Well?" Skull asked

"Never. I just know a lot of this stuff from memory on reading books and my parents." Cinch said

"Well. I did know love at one point, but then I was back stabbed."

"Back stabbed?" Cinch said in confusion and wonder, "What do you mean back stabbed?"

"There was this girl I knew in 3rd grade named Nature Lover. We never dated, mostly because we were in 3rd grade at the time. Though I was actually a year older than her because I failed 2nd once."

"Go on." Cinch said

"Recess was the only time we got to be together. During then she'd fend off bullies that used to pick on me, and one day she invited me to her birthday, but I never got to go."

"Why?"

"My mom wouldn't allow me. She did give me a necklace to give to her and I did, but the next day, she went and back stabbed me by breaking up with me. I was torn. Hurt. I was so hurt I became depressed for the rest of my life and had suicidal thoughts during seventh and eighth grade. High school came and went and my depression didn't get any better. I've just been too afraid to ask anyone out out of fear that I might get back stabbed again."

I don't know of the pain he's been through, but maybe with his spying ability he might become a valuable ally. Cinch thought, I'll have to be careful though. It sounds like he is a very emotional person. His heart can be easily broken, and he might be very sensitive, if I'm not too careful with my wording and movements. It seems like if I'm going to get him on my side I'll need to go on a few dates with him. I'm going to hate it, but I'll do anything to get an upper hand on CHS at this point with those fancy shmancy magical students of hers.

"Well. Since we are clearly both single, how about we go on a date?" Cinch proposed

"But didn't you say you were too old for me?"

"And didn't you say age shouldn't matter?"

Skull was about to say something but paused for a minute.

"Touche Ms. Cinch. Touche." Skull said, "Very well then. When is it happening?"

"Tomorrow. There's a place in town I know." Cinch said before heading over to her seat

"Tomorrow?" Skull said in confusion and shock

"What's the matter? Have plans or something?" Cinch asked

"N-no not really." Skull said, "It's just, why tomorrow?"

"Well my dear boy, do you wanna put it off and eventually forget about it, or do you wanna start as soon as possible and get it over with?"

"Good point." Skull said, "Especially considering I have a VERY bad memory."

"Noted." Cinch said, "But tell me. Why do you hate your old spying job so much?"

Just at that moment the bell rang.

"You cannot be serious right now..." Cinch groaned

"Whoa! What time is it?!" Skull asked

"3:16." Cinch said, "You better get along home."

"Uh. Right." Skull said, "See you tomorrow. I'll tell you all about why I don't like it tomorrow!"

And like that Skull got up and left. He exited Crystal Prep earning strange looks from people for obvious reasons and then ran down the sidewalk towards CHS before eventually giving up on running and taking a bus there. When he arrived he was met with a group of students calling themselves the Rainbooms, Vice Principal Luna and Principal Celestia.

"Did ya find out anything?!" the rainbow haired one going by the name Rainbow Dash asked as she grabbed Skull

"Calm down Rainbow!" the southern accented one named Applejack said to Rainbow as she got her off him

"She is right though. Did you find out anything?" The former Crystal Prep student Twilight Sparkle asked

"No." Skull said, "They've got nothing up their sleeve."

"I guess my assumption was wrong after all." Celestia said

"Not entirely." Skull said

"What do you mean not entirely?" Luna asked

"Yeah, do they have something?" the red and yellow haired girl named Sunset Shimmer asked

"Yes and no."

"Darling you're not making any sense." The fashionista known as Rarity said

"And usually I don't make sense." the pink one known as Pinkie Pie said

"Um, I have to agree with Pinkie there." The shy one known as Fluttershy said

"Well ya see, what I do know is that I've heard that they've been perfecting some kind of routine, but I was never able to get a good look at it. Mostly because that's a normal thing so I didn't really count it." Skull said

"You're hiding something aren't you." Celestia said sternly

"What gave it away." Skull groaned in defeat

"The fact you're sweating worse than a farmhand on a hot summers day." Applejack said

"Well I'm not lying when I say that's all I know. But the thing is, ....... I...... I...."

"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Everyone shouted

"I GOT CAUGHT!!!" Skull shouted back
