It's time for graduation with our eight friends.

If any of you recall (at least the one's that read my story "The Bully") Mrs.Pamper's school is for the socially, mentally, and physically challenged. But what happens when a student is shone they don't have those problems anymore? The answer is simple; they graduate.

How to Start Trouble

Meadow's singing voice is purple

How to Start Trouble

The kid's we're all silent as they sat in Mrs.Pamper's office waiting. Timidthy's tail twitched nervously as he held back tears. Sweet Dreams was biting her front hooves, Blood Bones tried to keep his best poker face. But it was obvious he was nervous with his wing's digging into his side's. French Press kept twisting strands of her tail, Bumper tapped his back hoof. Meadow's horn was sparking as she bit her lip, while Crepe and Binkey felt like they we're ready to pass out. The friend's had been called to the office by Mrs.Pamper herself and. now they we're watching paper pull out each of their files. Pamper finally pulled out Bumper's file and sat in her desk chair as she had a happy smile on her face.

"So I bet all of you are wondering why I called you here?" Mrs.Pamper said calmly. Blood Bones gulped,

"Y-Yes mam." Blood Bones said with shakiness in his voice. Pamper's smile grew,

"Well you see my school is for the giftedly challenged. And well you have changed since you've all came to this school and befriended each other. What I'm trying to say is you all can can graduate!" Pamper said finally letting her emotions shine. All the kid's paled as their eye's widened,

"Bu-But that means....." Timidthy said as he trailed off.

"It mean you can all go to public school!" Pamper said,

"I already set up the arrangements! Over the weekend I'll set up the auditorium for your special day! But I need all of you to tell your parent's so they can help you all get ready!" Pamper finished. Pamper then handed the kid's their files and the kid's hurried out of the school. Once they we're sure nopony would hear them they all screamed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The kids then ran home. As fast as their hooves could take them. So they'd be able to hide their files and continue to panic in peace.

Timidthy teleported into his room in tears. He didn't want to graduate and he certainly didn't want to switch schools! Timidthy put the file under his bed as he hugged the pillow he had gotten from Sweet Dreams on his birthday. He just hope Celestia and Luna didn't find out. Blood Bones meanwhile was tearing his file to pieces he hated that file! It gave him a constant reminder that they didn't need the school anymore. Sweet Dreams slammed her room door as she glared at the file in her hoof. She threw it on the floor and flopped onto her bed in a heap of tears. Saphy stared at the file as she had a raised eyebrow at Crepe and Binkey.

"I know your thinking "Why do you guy's want me to eat that file?" but we can't tell you why just please eat it." Crepe said as Binkey gave the largest, wettest puppy eye's he could muster. Saphy rolled her eye's and swallowed and the file in one bite. Crepe and Binkey high-hoofed each other.

"Brother your sure that mommy and daddy won't find out?" Binkey said as his eye's glossed over with tears. Crepe hugged his brother,

"I'm sure." Crepe said. Bumper had hung the file up on the wall and started throwing darts at. Bumper was growling and his horn sparked angrily as it struggled to keep a hold on the darts. Bumper suddenly felt his eye's tear up and he wiped the tears away as he continued to throw darts. French Press was now using a pair of styling scissors to cut the file into pieces. She would've ripped it but tearing thing's with her mouth was uncomfortable for her. She was now wishing she had kept a better watch on her actions. Knowing now that Pamper had kept a watch on their progress. Meadow had shredded up the file and had put it in Cream Cake's cage with his bedding. Meadow was now on her bed staring at the window. And sulking she couldn't believe they we're going to graduate. (Unknowingly to Meadow.) Sad music began to play as memories flashed through her head.

How are we supposed to be friends forever and eternity.

If we may have to separate ways.

Sweet Dreams is nicest filly you would meet, not only does she make treats but she makes dreams come true!

What will I do without my friend's? Without them the world might as well end!

Bumper is the toughest colt in the whole town he's also the most loyal ready to help those around.

What if we get split apart far away? Without my friends my whole world will decay!

French Press is a master stylist her moves fluent and quick but she's also as hard as bricks.

I love my friends and they love me. What will life be like if they all have to leave me?

Crepe and Binkey are a team one love's baby stuff and another can bake french treats. They're always together no matter what, I can't help to be jealous that can keep in touch.

My whole world has been built by my friends, but now it seems our adventure has come to an end. Will we be forced to go to diffrant schools? I hope we don't but the world can be cruel.

Timidthy, oh Timidthy you saved my life with your kindness and compassion you gave me a chance. I'm gonna miss your cowardly smile and attitude. The only regret I have is not helping confidence grow in you.

Why do we have to graduate? It's so unfair. I don't want to lose my friends but it's not my choice in the end.

Blood Bones! The red alicorn colt of my dreams! I'd rather die then to be without my special pony! Your pompadour hairstyle and your fanged smile! I hope we can be together for all our lives.

I just wish we didn't have to graduate.....it's not put fault that our sociality changed. I'll miss my friend's and my Bonesy too. I just wish we could stay together.........no......matter......what.

Change

Timidthy woke up just as the sun rose, he had cried himself to sleep. Timidthy blushed realizing this, now his mother would be worried and suspicious. He didn't miss dinner unless he was too distressed to eat. Timidthy sighed and took a shower. Hoping to make himself look somewhat decent for breakfast. Timidthy was brushing his mane as he heard a knock on the door,

"Come in." Timidthy said in a sad voice. He expected it to be his mother or aunt but when the door opened he was shocked to see it was Blood Bones. He looked like he had been crying and his normally slick pompedor hairstyle was limp and dull. Blood Bones hugged Timidthy tightly,

"Wha-What if I never see you again! What about Meadow!? She needs us!" Blood Bones shrieked. Timidthy was downright shocked, his brother had never acted like this. Timidthy used his magic to shut the door,

"I'm sure you'll see me again. And Meadow will be fine she's strong and she can flourish without us." Timidthy said just before he thought 'Its us I'm worried about.' Blood Bones pulled back and sniffed as he wiped tears from his eye's.

"Ho-How do you know exactly what to say?" Blood Bones asked, Timidthy smiled.

"I say what needs to be said for the ponies metal and emotional state." Timidthy said as he thought 'Yeah right! I say the exact opposite of what I'm thinking.' Blood Bones smiled slightly. Though he had a slight feeling Timidthy wasn't telling him something. Timidthy smiled as well and brushed Blood Bones's mane into its usual hairstyle.

"Who are we kidding?" Blood Bones said,

"What?" Timidthy said genuinely confused.

"We have changed! Bumper has learned to channel his anger into training to be a royal guard! I've learned to control my anger by giving baddies their just deserts! French Press has been able to turn her anger into beautiful hairstyles! For mares and stallions alike! Sweet Dreams has learned to embrace who she is by your love and compassion! Crepe and Binkey have learned what true friendship and loyalty is. Not to mention they learned how to be themselves by standing up to the past terror Meadow used to be! Meadow, thanks to you, is nicer and happier and has found out that life is meant to make other's happy not miserable! HECK! Even YOU have changed!" Blood Bones said, Timidthy blushed and shook his head.

"No I haven't I'm still a useless coward." Timidthy said shyly, Blood Bones looked shocked for a moment.

"No you're not! At the beginning you we're so afraid of the world you didn't even try to go out and face it! A year ago would you have saved a murderer and psychopaths life! And help her reintegrate into society!?" Blood Bones said, Timidthy blushed redder.

"Well......umm.....no......" Timidthy said,

"Exactly! You've come a long way! Mrs.Pamper saw it! The cmc can see it! The mane six can see it! And mommy and auntie can see it! It's time for us to move on." Blood Bones finally finished, and when Blood Bones looked back at Timidthy. He saw Timidthy on the brink of tears.

"Your right! Who are we fooling! Our parents will find out anyway!" Timidthy said. He then wrote a letter to the other's,

Dear Friend's,

We can't keep this secret long we're gonna have to tell our parents. Even if we do have to get split up, I love all of you and I hope that we'll see each other again.

L♡ve,

Timidthy & Blood Bones

Timidthy sent the letter off and hugged his brother as they walked to the throne room. To tell their mommy and auntie of their upcoming graduation. But unknowing to them Poppy was watching and she whined. She had no idea why her owner's were upset but it was concerning her. Meanwhile Meadow had received the letter. And she knew Timidthy and Blood Bones was right she wiped tears from her eye's. As she got ready to leave the room and tell the mistress. But she heard a bark, she turned around to see Cream Cake showing her sad eye's.

"It's okay Creamy, everything is fine." Meadow lied as she left the room. Cream Cake whined and started barking again.

Crepe and Binkey had just received the letter and they sighed. Knowing the two we're right it was time to expect their fate. Saphy stared at the two brother's as they left, it looked like they we're preparing for a funeral. 'What'sss going on with them?' Saphy thought as the door closed. Sweet Dreams looked at the letter with sorrow. As she picked the file up and walked to her parents room. With Babe following in hot pursuit wanting to know what was going on. French Press looked at the file that was now cut beyond recognition, then at the letter. French Press sighed, knowing that Timidthy and Blood Bones we're right. And that their parents would find out eventually. She sniffed and left the room to tell her parents.

Bumper sighed as he looked at the letter, Bumper walked towards the file, took it off the wall and shook the darts off. Bumper then wrote on a piece of paper: Me and my friends have to graduate. And Bumper sent the file and note off to his parent's. Bumper then walked to his nearest closet and opened it and a whole bunch of metal scraps. Wires, batteries of numerous shapes and sizes and lots more. Came tumbling out, Bumper gave a sorrow filled smile. As he pulled out a medium-sized piece of paper and started sketching out something.

Getting Ready

Author's Note

READ THIS CAUSE I WILL NOT BE REPEATING ANY OF THIS IN THE STORY!!!

Okay before I start the chapter for new readers Meadow is an orphan so the pony that she's with is the mistress (boss) of the orphanage she lives in. The mistress is black with a white mane and she's a pegasus. Her name is Onyx. Butcher and Blossom are Bumper's parent's Butcher is a short earth pony with a skinny physique while Blossom is a chubby earth pony. Butcher had a slightly dark blue coat and had black hair along with Blood. Butcher had a cutiemark of a bloody butcher knife. Blossoms cutiemark a a flower that has a bright shinning sun in the middle. Sweet Dreams parents had been mentioned in a diffrant story her mother was a very pale pegasus. She has a white mane with slivers of gold and yellow in them, her cutiemark is three pieces of candy. Her dad has yellow eye's and his mane blue and was calm yet fluffy. His coat was a dark red and his cutiemark was a cloud on fire. Their names are (mom) Sugar (dad) Flaming Fluff. Blood Bones and Timidthy's parent is Celestia and their aunt is Luna (in case you hadn't been able to realize it) the other parents have been yet to be shone so be on the lookout for French Press, Binkey and Crepe's parents.

Getting Ready

Note the kid's will be singing a song and thier singing voices will be these colors. (I would put in in author's not but I already said a mouthful in that.)
Meadow: Purple
Sweet Dreams: Gold
Bumper: Lime Green
French Press: Red
Blood Bones: Black
Timidthy: Green
Crepe: Orange
Binkey: Blue

Crepe and Binkey were now in the living room of their house the living room had a wooden floor. While the walls were pained an orphan blue, Crepe and Binkey were sitting on the couch. As Crepe and Binkey's mother had been shocked and ecstatic. To hear that Crepe and Binkey we're going to graduate. Crepe and Binkey's mother was a pegasus. She had a short light blue bob haircut with orange highlights. While her tail was the same way, she had orange eye's and had a bright red coat. Her cutiemark was a baby bottle with a small pink heart on it.

"I just can't believe you two are going to graduate! When your father gets home he's gonna be shocked!" Their mother said happily. Binkey blushed red while Crepe avoided eye contact with their mother.

"Come on don't be like that this is great news your finally socially stable!" Their mother said trying to cheer the two up, they we're in the living room. The three heard the door slam as an earth pony stallion with red eye's came in. His hair a pale green as it was a bit ruffled and messy. His coat was a very light shade of pink and his cutiemark was palmier. (A french dessert made with frozen puff pastry. These pretty treats are easy to flavor with any number of sweet or savory fillings.) He wore a large black pair of glasses that made his red eye's look bigger then normal. He took in the slightly bizarre situation. His two son's we're nervous and embarrassed, yet, his wife was happy.

"Nanny? What's going on?" The light pink stallion said,

"Oh Palmier! It's wonderful our son's are going to graduate from Mrs.Pamper's school!" Nanny said with absolute joy. Palmier smiled wildly,

"Really!?" Palmier said.

"Yep and we have to get them ready!" Nanny said and Crepe and Binkey grew more nervous.

"Mo-Mom, dad?" Crepe had managed to squeak out,

"Yes my angels?" Nanny said.

"Wha-What school are we going to go to?" Binkey finished his brother's question.

"Humm.....that's going to take some thought. These schools in Canterlot have the rudest fillies and colts I've ever seen! We can't let those kid's rub off on you." Palmier said as he rubbed his chin. Crepe and Binkey paled as their eye's glossed over with tears. (Unknowingly to anypony upbeat music with a bit of a sad piano solo began to play.) As Nanny and Palmier started talking about the graduation and new school arrangements. Crepe and Binkey started walking up the stairs back to their room.

This is supposed to be special, joyous, for us.

But it reminds us that our time is running out.

I don't want to leave our friends.

But unfortunately that's not how the world works.

I wanna be with our friends forever! It's not fair that we have to leave each other!

I just hope we can keep in touch.

(The music changed to a southern/western tempo)

As the view changed to French Press in her room gazing as her wigs.

I want to stay in Canterlot, sure the place is full of snobs. But my friend's our here along with my Thumpy lives here why does the world have to be so cruel.

An earth pony mare with an orange-red coat came in her hair was turquoise and in a doable bun,

"Sweetchumz! I'm so proud of you now," The orange-red mare pulled out two dresses, one was a yellow that matched French Press hair. While the other one was a white dress with frills on it.

"which dress do you think is the best?" The orange-red mare finished her sentence French Press felt her eye's water as she spoke.

"Th-The white one, Prim" Prim smiled and ran off.

I want to stay with my bestest friends!

I don't want to have to move to a new school and never see them again!

I don't want to have to say good-bye!

Even if it's not forever my friend's are my greatest treasure and I just want to stay!

French Press sang that note as tears flooded her eye's and fell down her face. French Press heard hoof steps and hid her face behind her mane, a stallion with pale blond hair came in. He also had a black coat and white eye's he held a couple of documents.

"Okay daughter, I found three schools that will suit your hair-styling needs. While giving you the education you need." The stallion said,

"A-Alright Soot." French Press said in a soft shaky voice. Soot nodded as he walked out the room.

I want to stay! Even if it's a big mistake! I don't want to go! But the choice is our parent's not our own!

(The music changed to a violin playing a sad yet fearful tune.)

The view changed to Sweet Dreams in her room. As her parent's filled through her skirts, dresses, and make-up.

I'll miss my friend's!

Even if we don't leave long in end! I just want to be with the best friends in my life!

Sugar then put some red lipstick on Sweet Dreams,

"You look okay it that.....maybe A purple will do!" Sugar said she then wiped the lipstick off.

Looks like this is the end! For me and my wonderful friends!

Why do we have to go?

Why can't we be home schooled?

Flaming Fluff pulled out a long sparkling gold skirt. Sweet Dreams watched sorrowfully and signed.

I love all my friend's!

(The music changed to bouncy and slightly speedy tempo.)

As the view changed to Meadow with Onyx ran around her room trying to pick a good outfit.

Just a normal chaotic day.

Onyx put Meadow in a very puffy orange skirt on with a sunflower belt attached to it. Meadow blushed as of felt like a diaper. Onyx didn't notice as she said,

"You look cute in that! Now all I have to do is find a shirt that matches!" Onyx said. She then took the skirt off and went looking for a shirt.

Except my world is ending.

My friends, I know, don't want to leave I agree I wish they could stay with me!

Onyx then threw a yellow shirt onto Meadow, she shook her head and took it off.

I just can't believe I have to graduate and leave.

(The music changed to calm tone with symbols going off every couple of notes.)

Timidthy and BloodBones we're in Celestia's private study. As maids came in with newly sewn outfits for the princes. While the princesses we're looking up new school's. Timidthy used his magic. To create a dandelion yellow forcefiled around him for privacy. While Blood Bones didn't care and just put the outfits on in the order they came in.

How can life be so cruel trying to break such a glorious bond?

It's not like we deserved to all alone.

Three maids then came in and placed four new suits down on the bed. Timidthy undid his forcefield he was wearing a yellow tux with green sparkles on it. Blood Bones was wearing a purple tux with a big red bow on it. The two looked at each other in defeat.

Why do we have to leave our friends and special somepony's?

It just doesn't seem like something we wish to fulfil in our dreams.

Celestia and Luna came in with piles of documents, Timidthy and Blood Bones paled as they saw the piles.

"You will not believe how many schools want you! We'll need your help to pick one out!" Luna said not even trying to hide the excitement in her voice. Blood Bones and Timidthy looked at each other and then to the documents.

"Yay." Timidthy and Blood Bones both said as their ears went back. Celestia and Luna then placed the files down and ran out of the room. The brother's split each stack and started going through the papers half-heartedly.

If only we didn't change so much.

(The music then changed to the sound of drums beating along with the sound of welding. Hammers hitting something, and the sound of hooves moving across a hard wood floor.)

As in zoomed onto Bumper as his parent's we're running in and out of his room. With documents, and a few articles of clothing. Bumper had a pair of safety goggles on as he had a welding tool in his hooves.

Got to weld that and screw together.

To keep out friendship untorn and tethered.

Sure I might not be super smart.

But I'm determined to keep our friendship from falling apart.

Bumper looked over to the window as the sun began to set,

If I could turn back time and do one thing, I'd give myself more time to get my masterpiece complete.

I have to finish before we go or our happiness will die like a fallen oak tree.

Bumper turned back to his work but his parent's rushed in. (Being careful not to trample over Bumper's project) and put him into bed.

"I'm so proud of you Thumper Bumper! First, you graduate now your trying new thing's!" Blossom said cheerfully. Bumper blushed a deep red,

"Yep and that's saying something with the short temper my family is known to get!" Butcher said as Blossom kissed Bumper on the cheek and left the room. Bumper blushed even redder as he got out of bed real quick,

Got to finish, make it right!

Bumper said as his magic pulled small, rectangles and placed them on his project. Bumper then wrapped a small blanket around his project and put it in his saddle bag. He then jumped into his bed and softly sang.

Cause tomorrow we'll have to separate. And everything will turn out alright.

The Ceremony

The kid's all sadly made their way to school, while Bumper seemed to have a determined look on his face. As their parents followed, ready to see their kids graduate. They all walked into the school and it was decorated in balloons and steamers in a rainbow if colours. Timidthy wore a yellow tux with green sparkles on it while Blood Bones wore a purple tux with a big red bow on it. Timidthy's hair had been done in a bowl cut hairstyle and Blood Bones had his hair in a flat hair style. The both wore painted horseshoes that matched their outfits. French Press wore a white dress with frills covering it. She wore white heels and had her hair straighten and put in a french braid. Crepe and Binkey wore matching black tuxes as their hair had been pulled back to the hair-line. And the rest was pulled back with the rest of the hair. Sweet Dreams wore a long sparkling dress that drapped across the floor. She wore a shirt that started off as gold and slowly blended into a purple. Sweet Dreams wore a bright purple shade of lipstick and she wore gold heels. And Meadow wore her hair in a ponytail. Meadow wore a very puffy orange skirt with a sunflower belt attached to it. And she wore a orange skirt with a sunflower pattern in it. Meadow had her hair in a bun as she walked uncomfortably. Praying that the ceremony wouldn't take too long. And finally there was Bumper he held a bag in his magical grasp with something in it. He wore a gray tux with lime green buttons and cufflinks on the front sleeves. Bumper's hair was slick and practically sticking to his head, as it was forced down with so much hair gel. The kid's and adults finally made their way into auditorium. And Mrs.Pamper immediately came to them with a smile on her face.

"I'm so excited! Now kid's I'll be saying your full name's on the stage in alphabetical order." Mrs.Pamper said and all the kid's blushed a deep red and they looked over to the stage. The stage was decorated in red streamers. With a banner going across it that read: Happy Graduation! The kid's all felt their eye's tear up, it was as if the universe was mocking them.

"Now all you guy's need to do is wait in the back of the stage until your name is called." Soot said,

"And remember even steps, big smiles and remember you earned this." Luna said.

"Tha-Thanks for the ad-advice." Sweet Dreams said trying desperately not to cry. The kid's made their way to the back of the stage. As Pamper walked on the stage and set the certificates in order Angelic Meadow. Binkey Suzette, Blood Bones, Crepe Suzette, French Press. Sweet Dreams, Timidthy Timid Balazs, and Thumper Bumper. Meanwhile the adults sat in the front row of chairs as the rest of the kid's and the school faculty came in. Meanwhile at the back of the stage the kid's all sat in silence. While Bumper had his back turned from his friends as he looked at something. French Press looked over,

"My poor Thumpy he can't even look at us." French Press said as she held back tears.

"I-I'm gonna miss all of you!" Sweet Dreams said as she hugged Timidthy tightly. Timidthy hugged back, not wanting to leave the embrace. There was a lump in Binkey's throat as he refused to let his eye's weld over with tears. The kid's then went back to being silent but the silence was soon broken. By the sound of Mrs.Pamper's voice ringing all across the auditorium.

"Hello everypony! Today is a very special day for eight of out students! They all have shown to have gotten over their social problems and are ready to move on past this school! Now it's time to bring out our graduates!" The kid's gasped while, all the kid's got in order except for Bumper who turned back to his work. (Music started playing that you would usually hear at graduation ceremonies)

"Now let's all welcome Angelic Meadow!" Mrs.Pamper's voice echoed and Meadow walked onto the stage. And Mrs.Pamper handed Meadow, her certificate.

"Would you like to say any words?" Pamper asked and Meadow wordlessly took the microphone.

"I'm very happy to take this certificate and I thank everypony for getting me here." Meadow said as she gave the microphone back to Mrs.Pamper and walked off the stage. Once she got to the back of the stage Meadow sniffled as she let her tears hit the floor.

"Now all give a raising applause for Binkey Suzette!" Pamper's voice echoed as Binkey hugged his brother and walked onto the stage. Binkey used all his willpower not to run away as he smiled and looked at the crowd cheering for him. His parent's we're taking pictures like a mad pony as he stood next to Mrs.Pamper. Mrs.Pamper held a microphone as she also held a perfectly rolled up certificate.

"Binkey Suzette I give you this certificate in honor of your hard work and dedication." Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Binkey the certificate.

"Speech! Speech!" Nanny cried from the crowd, Binkey blushed a deep crimson red. Mrs.Pamper handed Binkey the microphone and Binkey felt like dying on the spot. Binkey gulped and spoke into the microphone,

"Tha-Thank you everypony, I really a-appreciate all of this. A-And I'm sure me and my brother will remember this day always." Binkey then handed the microphone back to Mrs.Pamper. And walked off the stage before he could break down crying. The crowd cheered as Binkey made his way back to his friends. And he berried his hooves into his face and cried,

"Alright next up is Blood Bones!" Mrs.Pamper's voice echoed and Blood Bones made his way onto the stage.

"Blood Bones you have shown very spectacular development! So here yours!" Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Blood Bones his certificate. Blood Bones took the microphone, sparing his brother the emotional term oil. Blood Bones sucked up as much of his blown up ego and enthusiasm and spoke through the microphone.

"Thank you Canterlot for this awesome celebration! I know if you asked my a week ago that I would graduate from here I'd say "Of course I will I'm awesome!" I know me and my shy little bro will think back on this day and think about how awesome it was!" Blood Bones said as the crowd erupted into applause. But as Blood Bones looked back at his mother he could tell she thought something was up. Once Blood Bones got to the back stage he let the tears fall freely from his eye's.

"Come on out Crepe Suzette it's your turn!" Mrs.Pamper's voice echoed and Crepe plastered on the happiest smile he could muster. And walked onto the stage.

"We're all very proud of you!" Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Crepe the certificate. Crepe continued to smile as he walked off the stage. Once Crepe got to the back stage him and Binkey hugged tightly.

"Come on out French Press!" Pamper's voice echoed and French Press obeyed. The crowd cheered as French Press made her way onto the stage. French Press didn't even wait for Mrs.Pamper to speak. She snatched the certificate and the microphone out of her hooves,

"It's funny on how the world works, first you get signed up for this wonderful school. Meet a whole bunch of awesome friends and then you graduate and are forced to leave your best friends. I'll remember this day for exactly that." French Press said trying to keep her voice from going bitter during her speech. She then handed Mrs.Pamper the microphone and matched off the stage. The crowd was for the most part silent and the silence was what the kid's heard as French Press silently cried. The silence was then broken when Mrs.Pamper cleared her throat and said,

"Sweet Dreams it's your turn!" Sweet Dreams sighed and walked onto the stage.

"We all hope you can show the world that anypony no matter what can shine!" Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Sweet Dreams the certificate and microphone.

"I can safely say I'll remember this day for as long as I will live and I thank my parents for being so supportive." Sweet Dreams said softly and she gave the microphone to Mrs.Pamper and made her way to the back stage. As soon as Sweet Dreams got there Timidthy hugged her tightly. He was shaking uncontrollably.

"Timidthy Timid Balazs it's time!" Mrs.Pamper's voice rang, Timidthy blushed a deep red. But forced himself to let go of Sweet Dreams and walked onto the stage. As Timidthy walked towards Mrs.Pamper he could see a few of the kid's mouthing out the word's.

"Baby!" and

"Weakling!" Timidthy gulped and sped up his pace.

"Timidthy I must say when you first came to my school I never thought this day would come! And today I'm glad I was wrong!" Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Timidthy the certificate. And Timidthy gave a meek smile to the crowd as he walked off the stage. Finally it was Bumper's turn and Bumper had finished the final tweaks on his project. As a bright light glowed in his face. He had a smile on his face and wrapped his project back up just as Mrs.Pamper said.

"Thumper Bumper you're the last one up!" Bumper placed his project down and he hugged each of his friends before he went onto the stage. As Bumper walked onto the stage he saw a few kid's snickering. Probably at his first name but he didn't let it bother him. And then he looked at his parent's who had tears of joy in their eye's.

"Bumper when you first came here I wasn't sure what to think of you. But today I see a nice stable colt ready to take in the world." Mrs.Pamper said as she handed Bumper the certificate. Bumper then whispered something into Mrs.Pamper's ear. Much to the confusion of the crowd and his friends, and Mrs.Pamper handed him the microphone. Bumper took a deep breathe,

"Ya know everypony expects this to be the greatest moment in our lives but....it isn't." Bumper said and the crowd gasped.

"Now I bet you all wondering "What!? Why wouldn't it be?" well it's because that means we have to leave our home, family, friend's, and our pet's. I bet more than a few of you have had to leave friends and still regret it to this day." Bumper continued as a few of their parent's started looking guilty.

"Now I didn't come up here to make anypony feel bad. I came up here to tell everypony, no matter what some snobby Canterlot kid's think, what my friends mean to me. When I first came here I was a grumpy jerk who would pick on kids for amusement. I even did it to Timidthy and he's still trying to live it down. But the day that Timidthy decided to become my friend. After all the humiliation I caused him opened my eye's. And not only did I gain Sweet Dreams as a friend but I also gained a marefriend after a bit. And then our circle grew when Crepe and Binkey came and defended Timidthy. When Blood Bones the Emperor of Darkness was swayed by Timidthy to not only be good but be his brother too! And when Meadow showed up and we allowed her to join in! I love all my friends and I'm determined to keep us as friends so this is to my friends in the back. In the bag I carried here and have been working on the last two days is something to make sure that after we split up. We'll have something to fill the gap and keep us together. And I thank my parents for pushing me to go to this school. Cause without that I'd never had made the friendships that are sure to last a lifetime." Bumper finished and everypony applauded. Bumper then walked off the stage and went to the back of the stage. And he was met with a group hug from his friends.

"Aww Bumper that was the sweetest thing I'd ever heard!" French Press said, Bumper blushed deep red. The friend's left the embrace. And it was reveled they we're holding medium-sized rectangle. They all seemed to look at them with over whelming curiously and excitement.

"So what are they?" Binkey asked,

"And what do they do?" Meadow asked. Bumper blushed redder,

"I call chaties, they are all connected to each other each other, like us! And they have the ability to send anypony who has one messages. Pictures, make phone calls, play games, chat, and lot's of other stuff!" Bumper said trying and failing to hide his enthusiasm.

"Wow! Where'd you get them!" Timidthy said, Bumper blushed even redder.

"I made them." Bumper said,

"You did!?" they all shouted at once. Bumper nodded,

"Wow! I thought you simply had to work your flank off to buy them! Not making them!" French Press said.

"I have to admit I like on how you designed them!" Sweet Dreams said as she admired her chatie. As it was coloured exactly like her mane and coat and had her cutiemark on the back with her name written in black letters on the back as well, the others had similar coat color designs except for Crepe and Meadow who had yet to earn their marks.

"That's easy I'll show ya during the party! And don't worry Crepe and Meadow I can paint your marks on your chaties when you get yours!" Bumper said and the kid's left the back stage to enjoy the party while Bumper showed them how the devices worked.

Epilogue: Best Friend's Forevermore

The sun had just risen as the eight friends and their parent's stood on the outskirts of Canterlot. Six carriages layed on the road,

"S-So which school are you guy's going to?" French Press said as she tried to hold back tears.

"We-We're going to Sun Solstice University. It's a boarding school in Winsome Falls it majors in pony physiology, and biology." Blood Bones said tearfully. Timidthy nodded,

"We're going to a boarding school as well in Las Pegasus it majors in cooking. And it's known to have great privacy for Binkey." Crepe said, and Binkey blushed a deep red.

"I'm going to boarding school in Whinnyapolis. It doesnt have a major but it's known to have the biggest campus in the entire school." Sweet Dreams said.

"I'm going to a school in Puerto Caballo it doesnt have a major either. But it has plenty of flowers and exotic perfumes, and fruits I can make into perfumes, lotions and soaps!" Meadow said sounding slightly excited.

"I'm going to a boarding school in Mustangia the school majors in sword fighting. Every martial arts, and it has the best gym in all of Equestria." Bumper said as he puffed out his chest slightly. French Press's ears drooped back, Bumper noticed.

"Hey, don't be like that Frenchy-Poo we'll all see each other in the summer." Bumper said as he hugged French Press. Sweet Dreams smiled slightly as she took the moment to give Timidthy one final kiss. And Blood Bones kissed Meadow as well. French Press started crying as she berried her face into Bumper's chest.

"I-I know but I'm gonna miss you all so much!" French Press said and the other's joined in on the hug.

"Don't worry Frenchy, everything will be fine." Bumper said but a honk interrupted their group hug.

"Oh dear sorry kiddos but it's time to get going!" Blossom said and the kid's left their embrace and put all their supplies in the back of the carriages. Said their final good-byes to each other and their parents. And got in their respected carriages and the carriages parted ways. Timidthy and Blood Bones sat in their carriages as they heard their chatties go off with a beep. Timidthy and Blood Bones pulled them out. And saw Bumper had started a group chat with all of them and there was a message and it read:

Best Friend's by chance.

Best Friend's Forevermore.
