Load Full StoryNext Chapter

     "What do mean we won't be getting the money!" Vice Principal Luna says, getting up from her chair.

"I mean that the district won't give us the yearly income that we usually get." Principle Celestia says, sitting in her chair, her hands on her forehead.

Principle Celestia and Vice Principle Luna are in the Principle's Office at like about 5:00 in the morning, an hour before school starts. They've discussing a problem that Celestia just had found out last night from a call from their school's District Departments, which really kept her up and her waking up still thinking of tye news, very tired. To tell her sister the morning of today and now at the school in her office discussing it more in detail, a few hours till school starts.

"I can't believe this, why did they do this?" Luna exclaims.

"Is seems that the district isn't getting its money to from the state, which they aren't able to send any money to us the surrounding schools too." Celestia says.

"And from what they said to me that we won't able to get the money till the next time we get paid, and we just have to wait unt-"

"Next time!?" Luna says getting up from chair, "But thats like near the end of the school year, we won't have about anything left till we do do get paid, we need that money to pay for the materials and supplies that we get, and what about the checks that our teachers and staff needs, the lack of supplies we need that lasts us the whole year." Luna says. "We will lose staff, teachers, and maybe even students, and if it does happen, we will have to shut down the school for a while....or forever." Luna says, dropping back into her seat, putiing her head down.

"I fear the same thing sister." Celestia says. For silence to take over.

Celestia thinks deeply fo what her sister said, and she was right, it could force them to shut down the school. They needed to come up with a solution that could help them.

Maybe fund raisers or something small like car washes, just something that could last them till they get paid, but they need something big that can last them.

But then Celestia just remembered something, on yesterdays mornings Town's Newspaper.

She gets up, making Luna look up at Celestia and watch her as she walks to the entrance of her office.

Celestia stops and kneals on one leg near her office's only tin trashcan, and starts to rummage through it, pushing aside crumbled up papers, shredded papers and other junk.

From what Celestia saw on the newspaper, she hopes that it could be the solution to their problem, but their "Solution", was the reason why the newspaper was in the trash.

After a few more seconds of searching, she finally sees it at the bottom of the trashcan, standing up against the trashcan's walls. She starts to reach for it-.

"Hurry!"

"Get help!"

"They're coming."

"Stay with me!"

"I'm sorry."

A quick flashback happened, making Celestia cringe and drop the newspaper. She starts to breath quickly, in and out very quick, and feeling hurt, sadness, and regret of what she just heard from the voices she heard.

"Sister!" Luna gets up from her chair and quickly goes over to her sister, to kneal behind her, "are you alright?"

"Yes," Celestia says, still taking a few breaths, "I'm fine."

"What are doing?" Luna questions, curious of what her sister is doing.

"Take me back to my seat first, please." Celestia says, "then i wil tell."

Celestia grabs the newpaper again out of the bin for Luna to pull her up, and walks Celestia back to her seat, setting her down.

"I've found our solution to our problem." Celestia says.

"You have, what is it?" Luna says as she sits back down in her chair, curious of their solution,

Celestia lays out the newspaper on her desk, and starts flipping through pages to try and find it. After a few more pages, she stops and reads it a little, then shows Luna. Holding up the newspaper in front of her.

"The Equestrian Football League." Celestia reads out loud to Luna, making Luna go wide eyed, shocked of what her sister said.

"C-Celestia, are you sure about this?" Luna says, looking at their solution on the newspaper page.

"Look," putting down the newspaper, "it is our only way of to last us until then, because if we succeed in the season where we just do good enough to get us a spot in the playof-."

"Celestia," Luna said, stopping her sister talk, "do you remember the last time we played in league?"

'The last time' Celestia thinks about that specific group of words, of what happened the last time they in the league, 'The last play'.

"I do," Celestia says, "I do remember, but that is in the past....as i was saying, if we do succeed in the sea-".

"Celestia!" Luna yells, stopping her sister once again, "We can't say that 'its in the past'...that is the reason why we stopped having the sport here, because of tha-"

"We have no choice!" Celestia yells, slamming her hands on her desk as she gets up from her seat, hovering over her lttle sister greatly, making Luna back up into her chair, terrified of her sister's voice.

Celestia gets back into her right mind, calming down, realizing of she'd done. She sits down back in her seat, looking up to see Luna's head down, for Celestia to feel bad of what happened.

"I'm sorry Luna," Celestia says to her sister, with sorrow and a tear to go down her cheek, for Luna to look up at her sister.

"It's ok...its just that i don't want for it happen again," Luna says, "But i say that we should do it, i know what we have to do, for the school...lets do it." Luna says smiling, with Celestia to smile back.

Celestia looks at the time, 5:46.

"Well, I'm going to help ready the gym for today's assembly for the new school year," Celestia says, getting up from her chair and starts to walk over to the front door.

"Celestia, wait!" Luna says, making Celestia stop with the door half open, "what if nobody joins, we have'nt had the sport here since we shut the program down, and that was long time ago, it could be very unknown to the students."

Celestia look back at her sister.

"I guess we will find out at the assembly today, then." Celestia says.

"And also," Luna says, getting up from her chair, "and if they do join, who will be the coaches, who will teach them the sport?" Celestia smiles.

"The people who know and had personal experiance with Football." Celestia said, smiling.

"The who-" Luna then realizes who her sister meant. "Oh....then....I will gather the coaching staff then. Luna walks over to the door.

"Hey," Celestia said, putting her hand on Luna's shoulder and for the two look at each other," It will work."

"I hope so." Luna said, continuing to her task.

Celestia follows her, closing the office door.
