Starlight Giggled as she looked in the mirror and spun around. She smiled as she looked at the dress mistress had chosen for. It was a mixture of dark green and blue on a shiny slick fabric the seemed to glow in the light. The top was tight fitting and short sleeved but still Conservative enough to wear at school as the button-up collar would prevent too much cleavage from showing and the lower part of the dress went down to her feet.

"You look lovely dear. Like a proper and professional school counselor" Trixie chuckled.

"Thank you mistress" Starlight smiled as she turned around to face the show mare. "But you know I'd rather stay here with you" Starlight stated giving her mistress a longing look.

"Oh I know darling, but if you skip to much work that brat Sparkle will get suspicious and we can't have that now can we" Trxie snickered as she rubbed Starlight's cheek. "Besides I look forward to seeing how hot and bothered you are when you get home after you spend a whole day daydreaming, waiting in anticipation for me to dominate you!" Trixie cackled as she planted a shirt sweet kiss on Starlight's lips. "Now get going."

"Hehe, yes mistress, thank you mistress" Starlight giggled as she left the room. Trixie looking on with a lustful devious grin.

"I'm telling you Twilight there's something up with Tempest!" Spike growled as he followed Twilight around her room the alicorn only partially paying attention as her primary focus was to get ready and get to her office on time. She was the head mare of the School of Friendship after all.

"Now Spike, we've been over this. Yes Tempest can be an intimidating pony, but she's not evil anymore" Twilight huffed. "She traveled around Equestria helping ponies rebuild the damage the Storm King's fleet caused. She's assisted both Princess Cadence and Princess Luna with important missions! She's not a villian anymore Spike!" Twilight reassures the young drake as she finished magically buttoning up her suite and working to get her black high heels on. "There, A professional look for a professional mare!" Twilight chuckled as she looked in the mirror. "Well accept for my hair" she groaned as she did it up in a way similar to pictures of her alternate world counterpart Sunset had sent her. "There that will go have to do for now" she chuckled with a sigh. "Anyway Spike will talk about this later, but trust me, Tempest is our friend, we've got nothing to worry about" Twilight explained as and trotted out the door and down the hall.

"For all our sakes, I hope you're right" Spike huffed as he reluctantly began to follow behind.

Starlight set behind her desk and reorganized the three pencils she had lying atop it for what felt like the twelfth dozenth time. She didn't know what to do, she didn't even want to be here, she wanted to be with mistress. She wanted to feel the cold clamp of the magic limiter against her horn. The collar on her neck, to be a good little pet. As her thoughts began to wonder she couldn't help but chuckle, to think she'd been so stubborn before, signing her life away? More like signing up for a life of play!

"I just hope I don't go crazy waiting for the day to be over!" Starlight chuckled to herself looking at what was in her mind a far too lazy clock. All of a sudden however a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in!" Starlight cheerfully sang. "Good maybe actually doing my job will make time go by faster!" She thought to herself.

"Uhh....counselor Starlight, is it...ok if I come in and talk or whatever?" A familiar and slightly cracked voice asked. Starlight looked up to see Gallus the Griffon at the door, trying his best to look cool, but giving a nervous grin that showed how he wanted to be here even less then Starlight did.

"Sure Gallus, come on in, my door is always open!" Starlight smiled being glad to have something to do to take her mind off her longing for mistress. "How can I help?

"That will be all Cozy, thank you for all your help" Twilight smiled as she patted the young pegasus on the head. "Glad to know at least one of my friendship assistants is in the mood to help." Twilight exclaimed as she looked over at Spike who was still sitting in the corner of the room huffing.

"Oh it was no problem Ms. Sparkle, I just loved helping other ponies, er creatures!" Cozy happily chuckled.

"Well in that case could you go find Tempest for me. She's been gone to the little Fillies room for quite awhile." Twilight chuckled back at the peppy young mare.

"Will do!" Cozy sang as she skipped then fluttered out of the room.

"Man, she's almost as creepy as Tempest" Spike huffed.

"Oh yea, next thing you'll be telling me she's secretly an evil mastermind too!" Twilight teased Spike giving the dragon a loving wink.

"Hey, you never know, could be" Spike teased back letting out a puff of smoke in his elder sister's direction.

"So tell me again what the problem is?" Starlight asked looking at Gallus a bit confused.

"Its SilverStream, she's mad at me because I said I didn't want to go to the stupid Spring Fling Dance with her" Gallus sighed.

"But you like her, right?" Starlight asked.

"Well sure" Gallus reluctantly admitted with a blush. "I mean she's cute and funny and full of that crazy eccentric energy yea know!" Gallus explained giving off the nervous laugh of a lovestruck teen who couldn't believe he'd just said such out loud. "But...you know..." He paused.

"Know what?" Starlight asked.

"Griffons aren't supposed to do silly things like dances." Gallus blushed.

Starlight just huffed. "Oh that is ridiculous!" She began. "I don't know how things work in Griffonstone but here in Equestria a pony doesn't say know to their mistress!" Starlight huffed.

"Mistress?" Gallus asked the young Griffon male surprised by the use of the word.

"S-sorry meant partner" Starlight nervously chuckled. "Here in Equestria the dominant partner is always to be obeyed, you should go to the dance with her if she wants you to!" Starlight huffed. "Besides, I'd bet you'd look nice in a tux!" Starlight added at the end as a slight tease.

"Whatever!" Gallus huffed. "And who's to say I'm not the dominant partner" The Griffon teen huffed again.

"Seriously!?" Starlight chuckled looking over at gallus with a knowing grin.

"Ugg, fine, I'll go to the stupid dance! But just to make sure none of my friends do anything stupid or whatever" Gallus reluctantly caved as he got up and huffed out of the room. Starlight trying to hold back a laugh.

Cozy Glow fluttered around the halls as she searched for Tempest.

"Oh where'd that guard of Ms. Sparkle's get off to!" Cozy pouted. "I'm wasting perfectly good plotting time looking for her." She whined as she searched the halls. All of a sudden she saw a glowing green light coming from one of the nearby restrooms in the hallway behind her and she changed course to investigate

As Cozy opened the door she noticed the glowing green light was even brighter! "Great is that stupid tree crawling up the toilets now too?" She huffed as she wandered further into the lavatory. To her dismay though it was not the tree of harmony she found and what she saw scared her within an inch of her life. She did her best to muffle her screams by putting her hands up to her face, but part of her knew it was too late.

"Oh, hello little one." A deep sultry voice deviously chuckled as Tempest turned around and looked at Cozy straight in the eyes. "You weren't supposed to see that."

Cozy Glow fell flat on her bum as she nervously moved back across the restroom tile.

"I....I didn't see anything Ms. Tempest. Honest!!' The shirly temple haired filly nervously and desperately lied.

"Oh, that won't do dear. You can't trick a trickster" she devilishly smiled as she moved closer and crouched down in front of cozy. "You know I was going to leave you be, out of respect for a fellow tactician" she smiled pointing to the red rook symbol sewn into Cozy Glow's dress. "I didn't care what little plan you were concocting, but now you found me out, and I can't have you telling Head Mare Twilight about this, so I'll just have to deal with you personally" Tempest cackled.

"P-please don't kill me!" Cozy begged.

"Kill? No my dear, I'm not a monster. I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to take you off the board." She deviously smiled.

"W-what?" Cozy asked confused.

"Now now this won't hurt a bit" Tempest smiled as her eyes began to glow green. "Just a little memory and personality alterations and modification magic to make sure you don't get in my way." Tempest chuckled as she cast her spell and Cozy's eyes grew heavy. "Now let's turn you into that good little girl you pretend to be for real." Tempest cackled as Cozy lost conciousness and fell to the ground.

"Cozy, Cozy, wake up!" A voice exclaimed with a panic.

Cozy opened her eyes and saw Ocellus, Yona and a Yellow Pegasus with a large pink hair-bow hovering above her

"Are you ok?" Ocellus asked with concern.

"Cute Pony was laying on floor unconscious!" Yona added.

"Oh, I...ow!" Cozy whinced as she looked around noticing a puddle on the floor near her. "Ow I must have slipped on that water and got knocked out!" Cozy exclaimed. "A-and" she began to stutter as tears began to form "oh, oh no I was supposed to get a book on storms out of the library for Ms. Sparkle...s...she's gonna think I forgot and stood her up!!" Cozy began to sob.

"There there" Ocellus reassured her as she helped the girl up. "We'll help you find the book and explain everything to Headmare Twilight." The cute changling girl smiled.

"Yes, friends help!" Yona agreed.

"But we should probably get her to Nurse Redheart first just in case" the older pegasus mare added. The others nodding in agreement. Meanwhile Cozy couldn't shake the feeling she had forgotten something...lots of things actually.
