Point Your Hooves To The Sky

Jackyl Hooves trotts into school the next day, and greetss the various looks from his classmates. Some of worry, some of pity, and some of entertainment. But there was only one he was focused on. Her name was Claire Sparkle. Sometimes, Jackyl was suprised that Claire even talked to him. Now don't be mistaken. Jackyl was not an ugly Pony. He was average size. He had the same coat coulor as his mothers, with a blond mane that sweeped passed his eyes in a dreamy sort of way, and his Cutie mark was a metal heart. The only thing that set him apart was his Lazy  eye, That was inherited from his mother of course. Jackyl sits down at his desk and flicks his eye around nevously at the diffrent Ponies looking at his various scars. "Ok everypony take your seats" Jackyl hears his teacher call to the class. He sneaks one more look at Claire, She is talking to another mare, apperantly unaware that Jackyl had even showed up to class today. "Hi everypony!"

"Hi Ms. Cherilee." the class calls out in a rather monotome drawl.

"To day we will learn about Earth Ponies, And the history!!! Yay!!!"

The  only ponies that even respond are Jackyl, Claire, and another mare named Sprinkle Pie.

"Yes!!! I would love to leaned about earth Ponies cause I'm one of thoses, did you know that my mom is one of those, did you also know that there are alot of those in Equestria and Especially in Ponyville?" Ms. Cherrilee smiles warmly. "Yes sprinlkle. I knew this." "Now if you could all open your books please"

After class, Jacklyl Trotts down the steps and looks for Claire. He sees her, finishing her conversation with another mare. Jackyl recognizes this mare as Appleblossom. Appleblossom was one of Jackyl's first friends. THis makes it more comfortable to approch Clare. He trotts over nervously. "Hi Appie" Jacklyl says. "What's up Jackie?" They both "Bro" hoof each other.  He darts his eye over to Clare. A true beauty. He thinks to himself. She is a tad bit shorer than the avrage mare, and has a Light purple coat, simular to that of her mothers, and A pink straight tail. Her mane is Pink and very long, cascading down her shoulders as if she was constantly wet." Well,  Ah'll see you guys later, Best get to buckin' them apples before my ma gets ornery!"  She then trotts off. Jackyl then turns to walk away. "Wait" Claire says. "Yes, Claire?"

"I think it's very brave how you still come to school like that. You are an amazing Pony you  know that?"  Jackyl blushes lightly and sweeps his hooves across the rough dirt ground. "Thank you." He says softly. He then turns, "It was nice talking to you, Claire." Then trotts heme.

Claire then lets out a deep breath and Appleblossom comes from around the corner of the school. "Well, How'd it go?"

"I just can't get him to notice me!" Claire says. "Don't worry, Sugar, he will."

Jackyl hugs his mother very closely. "I don't know any more momma! Will she ever like me?" I felt same about your dad. Give time, she will see" Jackyl smiles and hugs his mother. Most are not able to understand Derpy, But jackyl has always been able to. Derpy then straps the muffins she has been baking for the prencess, to her saddle bag. "I go and deliver muffins, You wanna fly with me?"

"No mamma. I think I'll just stay here."

"Fine. But make sure you stay out of those troubles!" Derpy reaches her hoof up and Ruffles Jackyl's mane. He smiles, Pleased.
