Terribly sorry for not uploading in ages, my life has dramatically went into a negative spiral, but it seems to be relaxed now. I'll re-continue to upload onto my story every few weeks or less!

Chapter 8: Recess

You patiently waited for Cheerilee to finish her discussion on Equestrian Foundation, and how Ponyville came to be. It surprises you that there lives a Pony Princess who to this day is still alive and was around since before the towns formation. Honestly, you thought that you wouldn't write as much as you just did over one topic, but Goddamn, there was so much she kept on talking and writing on the board, it drove you insane. It almost got to the point where you were just gonna start floating around the class when nobody paid attention to you, but that's basically impossible when you could hear the small whispers of the students talking about you, constantly eyeing you out, especially those three girls from when you first came into class.

Not even that, but when you eye your work, it's honestly hideous! Writing with your mouth is dreadfully hard, it's almost like you're writing from the day you entered Kindergarten, it hurts your pride not being able to write cursive like you used to. Fuck, if only video games existed here, you'd rather play whatever pony game they have here than looking and reading your awful handwriting.

As you wait for Cheerilee to finish her long discussion, you started to snap your paw-like-fingers and not noticing your surroundings change ever so slightly, until you get startled by some screaming. "Ahh! My Tiara, it's chewing my hair!" Turning your attention to what was happening, you busted out laughing at what was happening to the right of you, hearing laughter throughout all the class as the Pink Pony looks at you with such a glare you almost thought she was your angry cousin.

"Illusion, stop that this instant, fix whatever it was that you just caused and stop disrupting class." Snapping my attention to Cheerilee, I frown slightly and snap my paw-like-finger and notice the chomping noise suddenly stop. "Sorry Miss, I forgot I could do stuff like that." Cheerilee nods her head at you and finishes up her lesson, the bell ringing for Recess to begin.

"Yes!" You shout and quickly float out the class, spotting a tree that's in the playground as you float towards it and lay under it, getting comfortable and prepared yourself to sleep until you were so rudely interrupted.

"Hey Mister, what you did in class was so funny. My name is Sweetie Belle, this here to my right is Scootaloo, and on my left is Apple Bloom, what is your name?" You open your eyes to see not one, but three ponies surrounding you, their large smiles creeping you out slightly, though not wanting to be rude, you replied. "Uh, well my name is Illusion, I've just moved in with Twilight Sparkle and began class here just today."

"Oh we know who she is but, do you know Rainbow Dash? She's like the coolest Pony ever, right?" Said Scootaloo with a dreamy smile, guessing she might be a big fan of her or something. You thought about a good response and just threw something in quickly so you could hurry up and get back to sleeping. "Yea, I guess."

The other Pony, named Apple Bloom, whispered into Sweetie Belles ear and Scootaloos, in which they all grinned happily, all three of them extending their hooves at you, "Well, we have this little club called the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and we noticed you ain't got a Cutie Mark, so we'd like to invite you to join us in finding our Cutie Marks together!" They all three practically shouted your eardrums off, physically speaking. Grabbing your ears and placing them back into their proper place, you smile, assuming this is a invitation to being friends. "Sure, why not!"

Your happiness was quickly interrupted from that Pink Pony you laughed at earlier in class, and accompanying her was a Gray Pony, they walked up all smug, laughing like a bunch of idiots. "You're joining their lame group? Please, you blank flanks can never find your Cutie Marks, you'll always be the bottom of the class!" Apple Bloom hearing this along with the other two, turns around angrily and steps forward, "Diamomd Tiara, and Silver Spoon, y'all always like to bully us when all we want is to achieve our Cutie Marks!"

Honestly, seeing them getting bullied like that pissed you off, and you flew right into her face, breathing angrily, eyes slightly aflame. "Diamond, how about you back off! Or I'll do what I did to you in class and this time make sure you don't have a mane!" Diamomd Tiara gasps in surprise, slightly scared of your threat, but quickly hid it away and turned around, lifting her nose high. "Hmph, It's not worth getting my good looks ruined by a Blank Flank and his dumb other Blank Flanks!" While she walked off, you angrily snapped your paw fingers and caused a cloud to form above them both and drenched them, quickly pushing the girls away with you towards somewhere else.

They laughed, thanking you for standing up to her for them, and all of you quickly shared a hug, before wandering off towards somewhere else to continue your own activities, until something and someone caught your eye. There was a Brown Pony sitting alone playing on what looks like an old Game Cube, so you eagerly flew into his face, your grin nearly splitting off your face as you stare at what game he was playing. "What game is that?" You asked him out of curiosity.

The Pony briefly looks up at you, and replies while keeping focused on his game. "It's Ponio, basically you're a hero Pony who saves the Princess from the evil Chaos Lord!" Now that you thought about it, the game looks drastically similar to Mario, except that some of the things look differently, just as you were about to ask more questions, the bell rang for class to start again, and you grew sad, the Pony groaned in annoyance and turned off his Game, looking at you and smiling. "My name is Button Mash, we should totally play some games, from what I saw, you looked interested in video games Illusion." I smiled, walking back with him to class, giving him a nod as you hope that whatever else the Teacher has to teach isn't dreadfully long.
