Bessie Bully

Timidthy woke up nervous about his first day back at school. Timidthy went into his restroom and removed his ring of tranquility from his horn. He then took his normal shower, dried himself off, and brush his hair and coat. 'I hope this year nothing goes wrong.' Timidthy thought as he put his backpack on, and left the castle. Sweet Dreams was at the door way and him and Sweet Dreams walked to school.

Meanwhile French Press and Bumper we're walking to school as well. As they we're excited to see what classes they'd get.

"So Thum, do you think we'll get art together?" said French Press, Bumper blushed,

"Actually I was hoping not to get art." said Bumper quietly. French Press raised an eyebrow until something clicked.

"You feel guilty about the baby thing with Timidthy arent ya?" said French Press quizzically, Bumper sighed and blushed redder.

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. But yes, It's just I consider Timidthy a friend now and I really hurt him back then." said Bumper, French Press hugged Bumper.

"Don't worry Thum, Timidthy has forgiven you and nopony has brought it up, so you have no reason to worry." said French Press sweetly, but what the friends didn't know was a mysterious black filly had a plan. And it was just about to get started. As French Press, Sweet Dreams, Timidthy, and Bumper got to their home room. They said hi to Starlight who was no doubt their new teacher. They sat in seats right by each other getting ready for a fun new year, until she walked in. A filly that was black and had orange freckles came in. Her hair was orange as well and had cream-colored line's streaking through it. Her cutiemark was a picture of an unidentified colt crying. She smirked evilly and glared at each of the friend's, Timidthy for the longest.

"Students this is our new student umm..... Bessie Bully." said Starlight hesitating at Bessie's last name.

"Or you can call me Bully for short." said Bully putting emphasis on the word "Bully". She then sat in the seat behind Timidthy. Timidthy's eye's shrinked to pin-pricks. As he looked over to his friends who all had similar scared and worried expression on their faces. 'Please let that just be a crazy coincidence of a name. Please! Please! Please!' Timidthy, French Press, Bumper, and Sweet Dreams thought as class got started.

Timidthy was the first to run out of class as the bell rang, he didn't stop until he was sure Bully wouldn't find him.

"Yo Tim! You alright?" said Bumper with Sweet Dreams, and French Press behind him,

"I'm fine, that fully just scares me." said Timidthy as a hint of blush came to his cheeks. French Press was just about to say something until two colts passed by who we're twins. One had a red coat orange eye's and blue hair. While the other one had red eye's a blue coat and orange hair. They both didn't have their marks yet and both we're earth ponies. The blue coated colt spoke,

"Awww is the baby gonna wet himself." his red-coated brother snickered at the comment. Timidthy's face blushed beet red while Bumper bit his bottom lip and looked guilty. The two colts who hadn't noticed Bumper we're quick to hurry along once they realized. French Press gridded her teeth together,

"I'm gonna beat those two into next week." she hissed as she comforted Bumper. Sweet Dreams tried to make sure Timidthy wouldn't cry. As the two marefriends' walked their coltfriends' to the cafeteria.

The boy's we're silent as they all walked back to Timidthy's castle.

"Y'all need to stop worrying! Everything is fine!" said French Press though her voice betrayed a bit of annoyance. Sweet Dreams stayed quiet the thought she was honestly scared but she didn't show it. As the kid's neared the castle French Press, Bumper, and Sweet Dreams said their good-byes. And left Timidthy to walk alone. Timidthy sighed and perked up,
'I'm being silly, I have my friends and only two colts made fun of me I can't just mope around because of that.' Timidthy thought before he realized he felt as if somepony was watching him. Suddenly two colts (the one's from before). Appeared from behind him, Timidthy yipped and jumped back, Timidthy then bumped against a black filly, Timidthy recognized her.

"Nice to seeya Timid." said Bully,

"These are my associates Binkey and Crepe Suzette, and we're gonna show you a good time." said Bully maliciously. Timidthy didn't have time to react as Binkey and Crepe stepped on his tail making sure Timidthy couldn't run away. Bully spoke,

"So, first I'm gonna make you wet yourself, then I'm gonna make you cry, then I'm gonna beat you up then your gonna run home and not say a thing. Then the cycle will continue k'pech?" said Bully. Timidthy blushed deep red as he felt his bladder release in fear,

"Ya know Mr. Balazs I plan things out to the book and so far your nothing but a baby. Your pathetic and are nothing but a looser, you are a bird-phobic and you have an allergy to peanuts. So using that information I'm gonna make your life a nightmare." said Bully. Timidthy's eyes teared up, and the two colts behind him put more pain onto his tail and he screamed in pain. Bully then shoved a peanut down Timidthy's throat and not soon after Timidthy felt pain in his stomach. Timidthy felt more tears come to his eye's as he tried desperately not to break out onto sobs.

"Awww is the baby gonna cry?" said Bully and Timidthy started crying as Bully smiled evily. Bully then grabbed Timidithy by his mane and banged Timidthy's head hard against the ground. Timidthy yelped in pain and tried to get up but Bully, Binkey, and Crepe Suzette started beating him down.

Timidthy barged into the castle his mane and tail we're messy, he had bruises and scars all over him and had a black eye. He was out of breathe as he tripped and fell,many of the royal maids and guard's came to Timidthy's side and quickly picked him up and ran to Celestia.

The Consequences

Timidthy's eye's opened slowly as he got a look at where he was. He heard the crackling of a fireplace as he felt warm,cozzy, and safe. He looked at the quilt that surrounded his small body. It was the same quilt he had gotten on his birthday just a few months ago. He looked around and recognized he was in Celestia's room. Timidthy looked at himself (at least what he could see that wasn't under the quilt) he had bandages all over. Soon he heard the door behind him shut. Timidthy then saw his mother Celestia, who had a calm yet somewhat angered expression.

"Timidthy how do you feel?" said Celestia in a calm tone, Timidthy answered,

"I feel a bit sore but other then that fine." said Timidthy. Celestia wrapped her wing around Timidthy. And Timidthy smiled he knew his mother was worried about him.

"Can you tell me what happened to you?" said Celestia and Timidthy grew pale as a vibrant shade of red came to his cheeks. His wing's wanted to buzz around nervously but Timidthy kept them shut.

"U-Ummm....." said Timidthy as his mind was trying find an appropriate answer. That wouldn't upset his mother too much. Celestia had a gentle expression as Timidthy struggled to get the truth out.

"Ju-Just some kid's." Timidthy muttered, Celestia smiled slightly,

"Can you tell me the names or give me a description?" said Celestia as she tried to get Timidthy to tell her,

"Tw-Two colts one is named Binkey and the other Crepe and thier leader...." said Timidthy as he trailed off and fear gripped at his brain. Celestia noticed this,

"It's okay Timidthy is the leader a filly or a colt?" said Celestia. Timidthy blushed redder, and shook his head as speaking was impossible at this point. Celestia sighed,

"It's okay Timidthy I'll figure out the rest you just head to bed. I'll get your friend's to deliver your homework tomorrow." said Celestia calmly. Timidthy hugged his mother and walked off, happy to not have to go to school tommorw.

Sweet Dreams, French Press and Bumper barged into Celestia's private study.

"Okay we're here, is Timidthy okay!?" said Sweet Dreams, Celestia smiled,

"Yes he's okay a bit shaken up but fine." Celestia said. The friend's sighed a breathe of relif and Celestia led them to Timidthy's room. French Press noticed there we're a few more guard's then normal. As Celestia opened the door the kid's saw Timidthy's was reading.

"Timidthy! Remercie les dieux que tu vas bien! Ne me fais jamais peur comme!" said Sweet Dreams as she hugged Timidthy tightly. Timidthy blushed and replied,

"Sweet Dreams ne soyez pas idiot Je vais bien et s'il vous plaît ne vous obtenez pas travaillé sur moi." Bumper gave a confused head tilt while French Press smiled warmly at the lovebirds. Bumper shook off the confusion and handed Timidthy the homework he missed.

"And I'm glad your feeling well Timidthy because your going back tommorw." said Celestia calmly, Timidthy paled he wanted to shout

"No please I'd rather die!" But didn't. Instead he said,

"Yes mother."

Bumper had just came back home from Timidthy's and he felt miserable,
'I-I caused all of this.' Bumper thought as tears came to his eye's. Crackers who was perched on top of Bumper's bed cocked his head from side-to-side.

"Bumper you okay?" said Crackers. Bumper jumped and blushed red,

"I'm fine." he said as he chocked back tears. Crackers gave a concerned sauak, Bumper sniffed and walked to his restroom. Crackers waited for a few hour's and he soon became nervous,
'Bumper isn't a acting right, I need to tell his parent's.' Crackers was gonna take off until he heard the bathroom door slam and saw Bumper come out. His eye's we're puffy and red from crying as he layed on the bed.

"Bumper your sure you don't want to talk?" said Crackers,
"NO!" Bumper shouted. Crackers looked at Bumper with fear and he swore if he was female he'd layed an egg. Bumper began to fell drowsy and fell asleep and Crackers just stared at him. And decided he would talk to his friends in the morning as he fell to sleep as well.

Mrs. Oinkers looked at her owner as she paced around the room.

"I've gonna help Bumper, he's ain't been acting right. And I've got to help Timidthy and help Sweet Dreams help Timidthy." muttered French Press,

'She's driving herself nuts!' Mrs. Oinkers thought as she had a concerned looked and wished to talk to her friend's in the morning.

Babe's hooves ached and his face red, his owner Sweet Dreams hadn't been able to sleep so he had to jump over her bed. She hadn't fallen asleep till she got to one-hundred and ten. 'Never again.' Babe thought but he was worried about his owner, 'I'll talk to the other's in the morning hopefully thier owner's are acting normal.'

Timidthy was tossing and turning in bed muttering in his sleep, Poppy tried waking him but whatever Timidthy was dreaming about was serious. Poppy whined miserably. 'I hope the guy's have a plan.' Poppy thought as she continued to worry.

Bully strikes again!

The friends we're in the cafeteria all happiness seemed to have left them. Timidthy remained silent not saying a word. Bumper held his head down and kept his mane messy to hide his puffy eye's and tear-stricken face. French Press had bags under her eye's. And her front hooves we're wrapped in bandages from constant bitting. Sweet Dreams stared at Timidthy with concern. The kid's we're snapped out of thier dazes when two lunch lunch trays hit the table. The ponies that we're we're infact Binkey and Crepe. Timidthy's eye's widened, while Sweet Dreams quickly came over to comfort Timidthy. Bumper and French Press stared daggers at the two.

"Listen can we talk to you guy's for a minute?" said Crepe his brother nodded. The group hesitantly agreed,

"Listen we wanted to tell ya about Bully's next plan. Bully is gonna try to put hair removing gel in Timidthy's shampoo after gym." said Binkey. Timidthy blushed while French Press gave a skeptical look,

"And why should we trust you?" said Bumper.

"Because we came." said Crepe seriously,

"Listen for years we wanted to get back at Bully she's been forcing us to be her slaves. And we know you guy's can make her pay." said Binkey.

"Oh yeah, how?" said Sweet Dreams impatiently.

"Well you have Bumper on your side, he's the toughest, and probably scariest behind Bully, kid in school! And if he picked you guy's as friend's then well you guy's must be awesome!" said Crepe. Binkey looked over to the lunch line and gulped, Crepe noticed.

"Anyway we gotta go and we we're never here." said Binkey nervously as they both ran off.

The pet's we're talking at Sweet Dreams's place,

"Wait your saying Bumper is acting off too?" said Poppy in disbelief.

"Yeah, he's been crying and been moping and it's really starting to worry me." said Crackers. The animals looked concerned as they continued to talk.

Apparently Crepe and Binkey we're right about the hair removing gel. As the kid's sat and bounced a ball around as they talked.

"They we're right." said Sweet Dreams still in shock,

"Yeah, I guess they we're really telling the truth." said French Press. Timidthy nodded and Bumper muttered something under his breathe. French Press looked annoyed,

"Okay will you two stop worrying nothing bad happened today so you guy's can stop belly-ackin! said French Press. Timidthy and Bumper blushed red,

"Okay fine, Bumper you and me talk privately now." said French Press as she got up and pulled Bumper along by his front hoof. Sweet Dreams looked over to Timidthy,

"Timidthy it's okay." said Sweet Dreams.

"I-I guess." said Timidthy as his tail twitched nervously,

"Well, well, well how's the crybaby doing?" said a familiar voice, Timidthy froze he was petrified in fear. Sweet Dreams looked and saw Bully with Crepe and Binkey. Nervously behind her mouthing,

"I'm sorry." Bully turned Timidthy around and said,

"Boy's hold Timid down for me." Crepe and Binkey didn't move for a moment.

"NOW!" said Bully threateningly. Crepe and Binkey gulped and did as Bully said. Sweet Dreams looked at Bully with fear and a hint of disgust. A crowd had scrounged the scean that was unfolding as Bully walked up to Timidthy and turned around. And reared her back hooves getting ready to buck. As the crowd watched in curiosity and growing horror.

"It's okay Bumper, nopony blames you for what happened." said French Press as her and Bumper sat in the empty cafeteria. And she patted Bumper on the back as he sobbed into her shoulder.

The pet's had just finished thier meeting as they heard a blood curdling scream of pain and anguish. The pet's gasped as they all realised who the scream was from.

Bumper and French Press had ran back outside and saw that all the kid's we're crowded together. The colts stared in horror while a few of the fillies had thier mouths gaped opened. And some of them looked like they we're ready to faint. Bumper and French Press pushed through the crowd (which was fairly easy) and saw a horrible sight. Bully was laughing evilly in hysterics. While Sweet Dreams had fainted and Crepe and Binkey had tears in thier eye's as stared at Timidthy. And finally Timidthy was curled up in a ball, his entire body was red. As he was hiccuping and hyperventilating as he sobbed. Bumper recognized this and tears weld up in his eye's as horror filled them. French Press looked angry.

"You didn't?" she said slowly,

"I did and I loved it!" said Bully, the crowd gasped.

"Oh you did now well I'm sure your parent's won't love what you did." said a softed-voiced Mrs. Pamper as she stepped through the crowd. Starlight walked over and looked at the colts,

"We're you two involved in this?" she said eyeing them suspiciously. Crepe and Binkey became aware that the crowd was staring at them all with death glares.

"They had nothing to do with this Mrs. Starlight." said French Press and she nodded as she grabbed Bully by the hoof. And walked her into the school house with Pamper following. The crowd of ponies murmured and whispered. As they all gathered up stuff to make Timidthy feel better.

Timidthy walked home (with help from his friend's of cource) with a limp and pain in his private. Timidthy winced every movement he made. Sweet Dreams made sure Timidthy didn't fall over by having her wing wrapped around him. French Press watched carefully to make sure not to much strain was being put on Timidthy. And finally Bumper kept his head low as he thought. 'This is all my fault.'

The Consequences: Regrets

Timidthy was in his room as he sobbed, his privates still ached terribly. Poppy whined she knew Timidthy was in pain but she couldn't do anything to help. Timidthy teleported onto his bed and levitated over his ring of tranquility. 'Hopefully this takes my mind off the pain.' Timidthy thought as he put the ring on his horn and felt slightly better.

French Press was furious she felt like marching over to Bully and snapping her neck! French Press usually styled a few of the wig's she had to calm herself down but not even that worked.

"Stupid Bully. Humiliating Timidthy,making me grumble to myself." French Press mumbled as she paced around the room and Mrs. Oinkers watched.

Sweet Dreams was crying into a pillow while Babe bahed sweetly to help calm his owner.

" Je déteste cette Bully, elle est une secousse et une nuisance. Sur de ces jours j'espère qu'elle obtient un goût de sa propre médecine!" Sweet Dreams said as she continued to cry.

Meanwhile Crepe and Binkey we're in thier room sulking in sadness and emmbaressment.

"How could we just listen to her?" said Crepe miserably,

"Because we're fraidy-ponies especially me." said Binkey.

"Brother your not a fraidy-pony." said Crepe. Binkey shook his head and gestured towards the side of his room. That had baby stuff hung on the walls and on layed out on the floor.

"Yes I am, plus see this? I have a crazy obsession with baby stuff. At least you have something to be proud of." said Binkey sadly. The two colts sighed and sluggishly got ready for bed.

Crackers had his ear pressed against the bathroom door. Bumper had ran inside as soon as he got home and wasn't coming out. At first Crackers had heard breaking, then curssing, then crying. Crackers at the time heard nothing just nothing.
'Sweet Celestia! What has the boy done!' Crackers thought as he stretched out his tallons and started picking the lock. When Crackers opened the door, Bumper was on the floor and his back legs we're bleeding. As he held a knife in his magical grasp. Crackers felt tears come to his eye's, had his master been trying to?

"BUMPER! YOU HAVE TO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS OR BETTER YET YOUR PARENTS! OR JUST EVEN TO ME! CAUSE THIS HAS GONE ON FAR ENOUGH!" said Crackers as as snatched away the bloody knife. Bumper looked furious but when he tried to get up he felt pain and hit the floor.

"I'm sorry Bumper, but I'm getting your parents." Crackers squeaked in worry and flew off to get Bumper's parents. Bumper just layed there as he started crying, 'I don't deserve help.'

Bully had just gotten home from school and her parents (as usual) wernt home and didn't care. Pamper had given her a note to give to her parent's and she sent it to them by mail. And she'd either get a response that had as much love and as Queen Crysalis or no response at all. Bully place the note on an oak table and walked to her room. Her room had a black carpet and a blood red wallpaper. Her room had pictures of her and only her, she couldn't even remember what they looked like. But Bully didn't care if they ever came back. They never wrote or responded to the letter she sent so why should she care? Bully walked to her bed witch was a somber orange and sat on it. She would have to come up with another plan to make Timidthy cry some more. After a couple of hour's she had come up with a master plan.

"And tomorrow Timidthy is gonna be the laughingstock of Canterlot." Bully said evily.

Back to Normal at Last

The kid's walked to school each of them tease and worried. It had been two day's since Bully's last humiliating disaster. Timidthy's private had healed but he was more worried then ever. Bumper's back legs we're wrapped in bandages and his ear twitched. French Press was putting all her worry into being angry, just in case Bully striked. And finally Sweet Dreams's mane was messy from lack of sleep. The kid's we're sitting quietly at recess. The other kid's as well we're quiet and un-playful. They we're concerned on what Bully was planning as well. Binkey and Crepe made thier way to the kid's,

"Anything at all?" said French Press hopefully. Crepe shook his head,

"She hadn't told us but she did say that her next plan is going to be a big bang." said Binkey. The kid's sighed as thier entire life was beginning to fall apart just because of one filly. Suddenly the kid's all looked over to Bully as she had an evil smirk on her face. She pulled out a jar of peanut butter, a camera, some rope and a vicious glare. Timidthy's eye's widened as he froze, Bumper and French Press got ready to defend. Sweet Dreams hugged Timidthy close. And finally the other students either backed away or looked away for what sure would be a disaster.

"Boy's move out the way so I can give Timidthy the worst day of his life." said Bully, but Binkey and Crepe didn't move.

"Boy's move now." said Bully threateningly, Binkey and Crepe looked back at Timidthy and his friends. And behind French Press's and Bumper's glares. We're eye's filled with uncertainty, and fear. Then they looked to Timidthy who was shaking uncontrollably along with Sweet Dreams.

"Boy's! Move it or else!" said Bully as she took a step forward, Binkey and Crepe gulped and said,

"No!" The crowd, Timidthy, Sweet Dreams, Bumper, and French Press gasped. While Bully looked like she was ready to explode.

"Listen here I'm the boss and you can't just--" said Bully before she was cut off.

"No! You listen we're sick of you tormenting other's! And we're sick of you, your a jerk and you deserve the worst that comes to you!" said Crepe, Binkey took a step closer to Bully.

"Yeah! And that's the reason why your mark dosent represent a talent. It represents what a real coward you are on the inside!" said Binkey.

"We're not gonna let you hurt anypony else and we certainly arnt gonna listen to what you say anymore!" said Binkey,

"So the best you can do is stop your bullying! And if what we said offended you what are you going to do about without your sidekicks!" said Crepe, and as they finished the whole playground was silent. Bully stared at the two her eyes we're wide in shock and then tears weld up in her eye's.

"Fine! I don't need you two brats, I don't need anypony!" Bully said before she stormed off. After Bully was gone. The crowd of students, French, Bumper, Timidthy, and Sweet Dreams applauded.

"That was amazing!" said Sweet Dreams, Timidthy nodded eagerly.

For the rest of recess all the kid's played and had fun all except for one. Bumper had walked off to the cafeteria and sat down. He was grateful Bully was gone but that didn't make the guilt in his chest disappear.

"You okay?" said a familiar shaky voice, Bumper jumped and looked up to see Timidthy,

"What are you doing here?" said Bumper. Surprisingly Timidthy giggled,

"I could ask you the same thing. Wanna talk?" said Timidthy as he sat down. Bumper blushed red,

"Well It's just I've been feeling bad lately about what I used to be and what I did to you." said Bumper shyly as he nervously started picking at the bandages on his back legs.

"Why's that?" said Timidthy, Bumper looked at Timidthy wide-eyed,

"Your kidding. I made you wet yourself I humiliated you in front of the whole school and mentally tortured you! I was a jerk and no matter how hard I try I can't forget it." said Bumper clearly frustrated.

"Bumper let me ask you something. Do you regret what you did?" said Timidthy, Bumper stared at Timidthy and blushed redder,

"Well yeah I'd do anything to fix what I did." said Bumper. Timidthy nodded slightly,

"Then you have no reason to regret anything. Bumper yes it's true you hurt me but I forgave you and you willingly became friends with us. And now, I see you hurt yourself out of regret and sorrow." said Timidthy as he removed Bumper's bandages and saw deep cuts. Bumper blushed beet red and tried to hide his scars,

"Bumper only a truly heartless person couldn't feel as much regret as you do. And you feel that much and then some more. Bumper your a good pony, loyal to your friend's and until the day I die I'll always consider you one." finished Timidthy. And Bumper felt tears weld up in his eye's,

"Yo-You really mean that?" said Bumper chocking back tears, Timidthy nodded. Bumper felt his guilt diminish by a lot. As he became overwhelmed with emotions he hugged Timidthy. Timidthy's eye's widened as blush came to his face, then he smiled and knew everything was back to normal. Bumper then pulled back,

"I-I'm sorry." said Bumper softly.

"It's okay, now come on let's get back to the other's." Timidthy said as he got up and helped Bumper up. And ran back outside to celebrate.
