Dreamers

As they walked down the halls to the headmistress's office, they were in worry. Normally, the marble walls and soothing art would calm any student that wandered the halls worrying about a test or classwork, but when you were walking for possible expulsion, it wouldn't be able to claim you.

Nothing would.

"Oh man, my dad will kill me," Summer Radiance lamented as they walked alone down the hall.

"We'll be fine," Oath assured her as he put his arm around her. "Whatever happens, we have each other, right? like in grade school."

"Yea," Summer said as they shared a quick kiss.

The arrived at the headmistress's office, took a deep breath and one last kiss before he opened the door for her. The headmistress was waiting for them on the other side of the door. She was tall, old, and had a menacing look. She looked down at them and pointed to the front door behind them.

"You will be taking a ride to Canterlot Castle, the princesses would like a word with the both of you.

They bowed their heads without emotion and started to head to the carriage, not before being stopped by the clearing of the headmistresses throat

"It's not my place to ask, children. But what did you do?"

Starry Oath and Summer Radiance looked at each other and shrugged. "We got caught lucid dreaming"

The headmistress gave them a weird shook her head in disappointment before closing her door.

"We'll be fine, huh?" Summer glared.

"If there was a rule against it I didn't know!" Starry replied

"Great, if we get expelled I'm going to painfully kill you, you know this right?" Summer said, her piercing glare was always murder for Star, who always wanted to see his girlfriend with a smile.

"And your father won't?"

"We will both murder you at the same time. You know what happens to people who can't finish Celestia's academy!"

"They go to regular school?" Star asked.

"This is serious! I'll probably get disowned if I am expelled!"

"I think you're overreact-"

"Finish that sentence, and I will castrate you," Summer snapped. She started to walk faster in anger.

"Listen!" Star hollered as he grabbed her by the wrist to stop her. She puffed her cheeks and looked away, clearly annoyed.

"I know this looks bad, but we have to stay positive. Worst case scenario we can always say ignorance and we will get a slap on the wrist."

"I know, but…" Summer choked, starting to tear.

"Like I said, we still have, and will always have each other. No matter what, you got me."

"I know,"

Starry oath brought her in for a hug, and then a quick, but tender peck. They turned and saw that every class was at the windows, watching them in their embrace.

"Ready to go?" Star asked.

"Yea" Summer said as the walked to the waiting carriage, their hands clasped tightly together.

***

Any worry was gone by the time they made the carriage ride across Canterlot and to the castle in the middle of the city. It was large, it was spectacular, and it stirred the soul to whoever saw it, and they would be a small amount of people who would walk in its regal halls.

Star and Summer walked through the halls in amazement. Moved by the regalness and its splendor. It made them forget for a fleeting moment that they were staring down expulsion.

The burly valet that escorted them from the castle to the throne room stopped in front of the golden doors, his hands ready to let them in.

"when you are ready,"

"Oh man," Summer said.

"Right?"

"Can we just walk back to the academy and best try to ignore everyone of authority?"

"Sadly no, but like I said. No matter what we stick together,"

"Alright," Summer said as they shared a quick kiss. They entered the throne room which was mostly empty, save the two golden, towering thrones at the end of the room. They walked in and realized that Summer Radiance's parents were waiting for them.

Summer's mother was lanky and was worried, while her shorter, chubbier father was ready to attack Starry Oath, even if he didn't know why they were called to the throne room. In front of the young couple were the Princesses; magical, immortal, and beautiful. Celestia's smile was assuring, while Luna's piercing glare made them shake inside.

"I assume you know why you are here?"

"Yes, Princess," Starry answered.

"How did you learn how to perform lucid dreaming?"

"Yeah, Summer, how did you learn that devil magic?" Her father blurted.

Luna cleared her throat.

"S-Sorry, princess. I just want what's best for our daughter," he replied.

"And my type of magic isn't best for her?" Luna said, her glare became more intense.

"I-I'll stop while I'm behind," he stuttered.

The attention all turned to Summer. Star grabbed her by the hand and gave her a warm smile, a reminder that they still had each other no matter what. She cleared her throat and began "Starry Oath taught me in grade school when we were very young."

"And how did you learn at such a young age?" Luna asked Star.

"I didn't learn. I knew how to my whole life, and as I kept dreaming, I got better and better at it."

"I see," Luna answered. She looked up at her sister and nodded as if they already had made their choice.

Celestia rendered her judgment from there. "Starry Oath and Summer Radiance, you are hereby removed from my academy and - "

"You son of a bitch!" Summer radiance's father bellowed and charged at Starry Oath. Summer raised her hand and created a baby blue bubble that surrounded herself and Starry Oath, preventing her father from entering.

"Dad, stop!"

"Ever since you met my daughter you have been nothing but trouble, and now you ruined her future!" He continued.

"As my sister was about to say, we feel that the both of you would be a better fit into my academy instead of Celestia's, seeing how her academy does not fit the level of magic you both contain."

"With all due respect princess, I wanted my daughter to graduate from Celestia's Academy. Only those who are successful have the white rings when they graduate from the Academy.

"I don't know about that!" The voice from the door shouted. The voice instantly struck fear in the heart of Summer's father. The man was wearing an all black suit, sported older, peppered hair and a million dollar grin. Summer recognized who he was because her father wouldn't stop talking about him: the CEO of the company he worked for.

"Business Sense, how do you do!?" Princess Luna cried out in excitement. Business Sense continued his way in the throne room.

"Oh nothing much Luna, I heard you needed someone to convince that your academy is as good as Celie’s. No offense."

"None taken, you were always a charm to have around," Celestia giggled.

"Likewise," he said as he turned his attention to Summer's father. "Oh! You're Double Entry! You work for accounting, right?"

Double Entry shuddered. "Y-Yes sir!"

"Well, I like to see you as passionate about your daughter's well being as your work, but not cool on dissing on the alma mater, man."

"You went to Luna's academy?!"

"Yes," Business Sense said as he played with his black ring, his 100-bit coin cutie mark was the centerpiece of his diamond and gem encrusted class ring. "The academy is a well-kept secret, seeing how I can use dream magic to influence potential clients and convince top talent to stay, to name a few... In fact, nearly all of the top execs in the business world are graduates of the Academy, which helps know who to trust. Get it?"

"I.. I didn't know,"

"Well now you know, so I can trust you to continue to be a supporting father now that your daughter has the golden ticket to whatever job she wants?"

"Y-Yes."

"Perfect." He said as he turned to the young couple. "You will be fine additions to the brotherhood and sisterhood of dreamers. Welcome!"
