They had it coming

The pony stepped forward in front of the EEA tribunal with a stern look on his face. It took massive amounts of guts to step before the equestrian education association, let alone wearing a less than pleased look. The EEA didn't just take anypony in for a meeting, they did have high standards after all.

"You stand before the EEA, please state your business" Chancellor Neighsay said.

"Yeah... I'm a student at the school of friendship, and I have come to voice some complaints. You see, after you did some things to specific students. Many of us have grown annoyed at the way you handle tight situations. Especially when the headmare is not present" The pony said.

"If you are referring to the loss of equestrian magic, that situation has already been resolved. I've apologized to princess Twilight and even accredited her school." Neighsay Explained.

"That's not what I'm talking about. I was told by Ocellus and several others that you imprisoned her and her friends somewhere and accused them of draining all of Equestrias magic. You know, I have a few friends in Griffonstone who were thinking about attending the school of Friendship, now they are backing out cause they don't want to be kidnapped by the EEA."

One of the EEA officials was peeved that this pony could make such an accusation.

"How dare you accuse us of such things! Do you have any idea who..."

"Hard Pen Please..." Neighsay interrupted. "I'll handle this."

"Why do you think that we would engage in kidnapping non ponies? The EEA isn't a terrorist organization."

Hard Pen was a bit puzzled as to why Neighsay said Non-pony as opposed to creature. Usually he was the first to speak against them.

"I heard it first hoof from her. You see, Ocellus is very close to me, and she told me all the details of how Neighsay assumed control of the School of Friendship in Twilights absence, even when she clearly put Starlight Glimmer in charge. This includes accusing the non ponies of stealing all of Equestrias magic, and imprisoning them in a dungeon."

Neighsay knew that all those assumptions weren't true. Especially the part about the dungeon.

"Why do you care how we treat other creatures?" One of the EEA officials asked.

"Because..." The pony facing the EEA then revealed his true form. Thorax.

"I'm one of them."

The whole audience gasped.

"You're a changeling! Someone get this intruder out of here!"

The doors behind Thorax were then busted open, and in stepped the ambassadors to the other kingdoms. Dragon Lord Ember, Prince Rutherford, General Seaspray, and Grandpa Gruff.

"I also didn't come alone." Thorax stated.

"You creatures have a lot of nerve busting in here univited."

"Everyone please! Calm down!"

No creature made a sudden move, but there was certainly tension. Ever since the EEA originally tried to shut down the School of Friendship, non ponies viewed the organization very negatively.

"Now. Why exactly are you all here?" Neighsay asked.

"Don't act like you don't know!" Seaspray said, pointing a talion at Neighsay. "You kidnapped our students and imprisoned them!"

"Smolder told me the whole story! Including the part where you let Sandbar go just because he was a pony like all of you!"

One EEA official took serious offence to Embers statement.

"Neighsay. You're not going to let these barbaric creatures walk all over you right?"

"Firstly Parchment. I do not want you. Or any of you for that matter. To refer to them as barbaric."

Parchment did not expect him to respond like that. But he reluctantly acknowledged his request.

"Secondly, I did not kidnap your students. They were within the school the entire time during the incident. Plus I did not let Sandbar go initially, I only let him go because he persuaded me to."

One EEA member found the later part to be somewhat baffling.

"Wait a second. You were duped by a young colt? Heh... Maybe you're getting too old to be Chancellor.

"Too old!?" Grandpa Gruff gawked at that statement and flew up to the Members podium.

"Now you listen here sonny! Some of us may be old, but that doesn't mean that we are incompetent! In fact, the only creature here that looks and sounds too old to be running anything around here is you!"

With that. The EEA member fainted. Several EEA officials believed that Gruffs comments alone are what rendered him unconscious. In reality what Gruff said gave him a flash back to when he was a spokes person at a funeral, only for a white unicorn filly to jump up next to him and say "This one's too old."

"You think you can just talk to all of us like that!? Once Celestia finds out about all of this she will…"

Parchment was cut off by ember, who flew up to him and held him back against his seat

"Don't you be making threats towards us! It was YOUR leader who nearly bought us to the brink of WAR! And for what? Your outdated ideologies!? Give me a break!"

Ember then tossed the contents of parchments desk onto the floor behind her. Rutherford then proceeded to smash the various papers, and pens, Yak style.

"I don't think that you would be very supported either. After all, the students of the School of friendship think of the EEA so negatively, that even ponies are starting to hate you." Thorax stated.

"Thorax has a point. When have you ever done anything that has benefited ponies, let alone us? Seaspray asked

The room was silent. The EEA wasn't sure how to respond to such a question. While they have been regulating Equestrias schools since thier inception, no pony in particular ever praised the organization outright, and ever since the school of friendship opened, perception of the EEA went from indifferent, to despicable. Even when Neighsay caved and finally accredited the school, it seamed as if the damage was already done.

"Neighsay please! These creatures want answers about the students they say you kidnapped! Just say what happened already so they'll leave us alone!"

Everycreature, including the ponies of the EEA, looked at Neighsay. He knew that he had to address the elephant in the room now. Neighsay took a deep breath.

"I did accuse the students of stealing all of Equestrias magic, and I did lock them in a dorm room. However I had no plans of imprisoning them, and was even going to have them be picked up and taken to thier homes. The EEA does not have a dungeon built inside it's HQ, and we would never kidnap any student from any school, even if they are not ponies."

While the EEA members believed that would be the end of the conflict, the leaders didn't appear to feel any better.

"So you DID endanger our students!" Seaspray stated.

"Yak don't believe arrogant pony! Yak think you plan war on non ponies!"

Arguments between the EEA members and the leaders soon broke out. Accusations were thrown left and right, and there was much name calling. Neighsay attempted to restore order.

"Everycreature please! Calm down!"

It didn't seem to help, as the rage filled arguments only seemed to grow.

"Stop this fighting at once! It's not solving anything!"

The fighting continued, and it only seamed to escalate as things started being thrown across the room. Neighsay finally had last his patience.

"EVERYONE! THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Neighsay unleashed a large spell that had every creature freeze and stop what they were doing, several creatures were levitating above the floor, others were locked in strange poses that made them look like they were about to throw something. Everyone now looked at neighsay wondering what was going to happen.

"You creatures have burst in here and made a huge mess of our tribunal! While I understand your frustration, that does not give any of you the right to harass me, or any of my officials! Therefore, I must ask all of you to leave immediately!"

All the creatures were let go from magical grasp, and walked towards the exit.

"We can't wait to go." Thorax snared.

"Now. As for all of you, we are going to have a serious talk about how we speak to those who are upset with us, including non ponies.

Spike ran through the door to Twilights office with a scroll in his claw. He had just received it, and it said that it was important. Twilight took the letter from Spike, and he was on his way. The Head mare opened the scroll and read it.

Dear Princess Twilight,

Yesterday, the creatures representing the other kingdoms came down to the EEA, made slanderous accusations about the association, and then proceeded to attack my officials. I was able to get things under control and no creature was hurt, but this is something that cannot be tolerated. The changeling told us that non ponies all over the world are hesitant to attend the school of friendship because they fear that we may kidnap them, or do something else to harm them. I doubt that you were the one who sent the leaders to us, but I still must ask you to talk with them (Either as a group or one on one, doesn't matter) about thier actions. As such, I will be talking with my officials about respecting non ponies that attend schools with EEA accreditation. Please get back to me as soon as possible confirming that you received this letter, as well as any other concerns that you may have.

Regards, Chancellor Neighsay

Twilight closed the scroll and facehooved. "Oh Celestia..... Why can't I have a normal school week for once...?"
