First Ever Baby Alicorn Ceremony
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are taking a lunch break after their class with the students. During their time off, they had some ideas if they can use Twilight’s library for an activity. They wanted to show their students something they’ve learned during their times as Crusaders so they can give them inspiration on their future adventures.
“So does anypony have an idea?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Not yet. Also aren’t we supposed to ask Twilight for permission?” Sweetie Belle eating her sandwich.
“We will, but we still need to come up with an idea first.” Scootaloo added.
The fillies continue to eat their lunch while trying to think of something. During the times they’ve become tutors in the School Of Friendship, their sisters did fantastic things in their classes. Rainbow Dash showing the history of the Wonderbolts, Rarity showing the best outfits she made, and Applejack making a massive cake for the whole class. That’s the inspiration they need to show their students.
“Don’t you think we should get our sisters help?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Maybe they can give us advice.”
“Because we have to show them that we can handle this by ourselves.” Scootaloo replied.
“Yeah. Do you have any idea how much they will be proud? It will be like ten times better than what we did on our first day in this school.” Apple Bloom said in a serious tone.
“I’m pretty sure they know us to an extent, we’re still fillies after all.” Just when Sweetie Belle was about to take another bite of her sandwich, Scootaloo gets into her face.
“Fillies can do big things!” She retorted.
“That’s not what I mean.” Sweetie leant back.
“Then what’s the point?”
“The point is, even if we found a solution, we still need Twilight’s approval and make the activity work out for our students.”
This made Scootaloo sat back on her seat after hearing everything from Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom also has to face the fact that no matter what they do, Twilight needs to approve on their project.
When they’re done eating their lunch, they still have plenty of time until they get back to work. They make their way to Twilight’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” The Princess Of Friendship answered as the Cutie Mark Crusaders enter her office. “Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo. Did you think of something for your activity?”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders tried to be honest with Twilight. “Well…” Apple Bloom replied. “Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.”
This made Twilight rolled her eyes causally. “You still haven’t thought it up?”
“Yes.” Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said.
Apple Bloom lowered her ears since Twilight knows everything. “We’ve been thinking about this for months and we’re still up a corner.”
The Princess Of Friendship wanted to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but she’s still doing the paperwork from her friend’s classes. During the times she saw the tutors in their classroom, she knew eventually they will do a bigger task in the school. However, it will take time for the tutors to set everything up for their first ever school teaching activity.
“Girls.” Twilight getting attention from the tutors. “I understand how difficult this is, but your students need to feel amazed. My friends have showed their students unique things to show the future once they have graduated from this school. That way, they can make a difference in Equestria.”
The three fillies tried to think of the advice Twilight gave them. Then Scootaloo came up with an idea. “Twilight, is Flurry Heart coming over next weekend?”
“Yes.” The princess answered.
“Can you message your brother to bring her on Friday?”
Twilight can see what Scootaloo is talking about since they did took care of her before but she isn’t happy with that. “No I can’t.”
“But Twilight-“
“I’m sorry, but Flurry Heart isn’t stable enough to be in front of your students.”
“But she’s one of us now!” Apple Bloom added.
“That’s still not an excuse.”
“We can teach her.” Sweetie Belle added.
“No girls! It’s out of the question!”
The three tutors signed in disappointment. Just when they found the solution, Twilight instantly disapproves it. They know she’s just trying to protect Flurry in any circumstances, but they also knew they can resolve this.
“Twilight.” Sweetie Belle replied. “We’re not trying to cause harm in your school. We’ve missed Flurry Heart since we took care of her.”
Scootaloo decides to step in to help. “We may have went through a tough time, but she still liked and respect us.”
The Apple Bloom steps in. “It’s the only thing we had in mind. We’re swear, we will make our activity great to not only make us great as tutors, but also making you a great aunt principal...Not meaning to offend you.” She blushed.
After hearing the three tutors, Twilight realized the truth. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders returned with Flurry Heart after the day they had, the baby alicorn was more happy to play with the three fillies again. It was a long time since they played with each other and while the idea of showing the students Flurry Heart isn’t something she will approve, she has to give the tutors in the School Of Friendship a chance for this big opportunity.
“Alright, I’ll talk to my brother about this. For the next week, you will set up everything in my classroom. In the meantime, I’m going to have six grown guests to view your activity, so they can give me the news.”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are thrilled in happiness. While they’re still afraid on how it’s going to end up, they never know once the day comes.
After a long week of preparing the performance in Twilight’s classroom, the day has come. Shining Armor is about to drop off his baby to Twilight at her castle. Before this big important day came, the three tutors gave invitations to the fillies they came across. It’s more than ten of their friends from Cheerilee’s school they’re going to be part in Twilight’s classroom.
On Friday, it’s the last thing in the school’s schedule for this week. All the fillies arrive at the entrance, they came across the tutors as they guide them to Twilight’s classroom. The entire classroom is decorated in balloons and the snacks are cupcakes for the students.
“Is this the first time your throwing a ceremony?” Wind Sprint asked.
“Yes it is, it's been a long time coming.” Scootaloo replied.
“I can’t wait for what you have for us.” Button Mash added.
“Don’t worry, you will be amazed.” Sweetie Belle replied.
It took time for all the fillies to take a seat in Twilight’s classroom while the tutors make their way to the center. Then they saw Silverstream, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona and Smolder sitting on the other side of the room. Twilight told them they’re the six who are viewing their ceremony. After so many months of experience, they’re officially good enough to send the princess the reports.
With everything all set in Twilight’s castle, Apple Bloom begins the introduction. “I wanted to thank everypony to be intended in this classroom. Me, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo welcome all of you-“
“The First Ever Baby Alicorn Ceremony!” The three tutors shouted.
Their students are confused from the five words they heard. “Wait you mean...a baby who’s an alicorn?” Rainbow Harmony wondered.
“Yeah, it’s like something you see in a dream.” Babs Seed blinked.
“Ohh you won’t believe what your going to see.” Scootaloo boasted. “Apple Bloom, get our alicorn.”
Apple Bloom smiled as she left the classroom while in the meantime, the filles have questions about the baby. “Who’s the baby alicorn?” Diamond Tiara asked.
“She’s the baby of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.” Sweetie Belle discussed.
The fillies found it outstanding since they know the rulers of the Crystal Empire are. “Really?” Silver Spoon added.
“Yes. Her name is Flurry Heart.” Scootaloo said. “You won’t believe this, but she’s a Cutie Mark Crusader.”
“A Cutie Mark Crusader!?” The filles reacted. The six creatures didn’t expect that the tutors would make such a surprising reaction.
“Ohh! This is going to be sweet!” Silverstream commented.
“Don’t forget we’re still reporting this.” Smolder replied.
“She knows, she’s still into new things.” Gallus retorted.
While the two tutors tried to continue while Apple Bloom is away, one more filly had one question. “Is the baby safe when she’s magical?” Tender Taps being serious while trying to be nice.
This made both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo making awkward grins. “Well...when you don’t make her worried or sad...you might need to treat her right.” Sweetie replied.
While the fillies didn’t understand what she’s talking about, they will soon. Finally, Apple Bloom returned with Flurry Heart on her back. “I’m back.”
The fillies found Flurry Heart so hard to believe. Not only because she looks different from the babies in Ponyville, but also her wings. They’re too big for a baby at her age. The fillies whispered to each other from the appearance of Flurry Heart which took the tutors by surprise.
“They must be talking about her wings.” Scootaloo whispered.
“Not to mention, our reporters aren’t taking this well!” Sweetie Belle replied.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders look at the six reporters as they made serious looks. They can tell it’s a bad idea to show Flurry Heart so many fillies from the way they’re looking at the alicorn.
Apple Bloom thought of an idea to resolve this but she still has to give the baby an introduction. “This is Flurry Heart.”
“Are those wings real?” Diamond Tiara asked.
“Yes because her mother is an alicorn.”
The students gasped in shock. Just when they had seconds thoughts, the truth is never fake once they see it. “Wait, is her mother Princess Cadance?” Silver Spoon added.
“Yes, we couldn’t believe it once we met her in person.”
“Also she can sometimes be helpful once she understands what is going on.” Scootaloo added.
Wind Sprint raised her hoof up for a question she has. “You mean like she’s afraid something bad will happen?”
“Yes unless she's part of the bad things.” Sweetie Belle answered.
Then Button Mash raised his hoof up. “Does that explains why she uses her horn when that happens?”
Flurry Heart tilted her head from the question. She’s too young to understand the ability of her alicorn magic.
“Well…” Apple Bloom tried to think of something to continue the subject. “Let’s just say she’s unstable when she uses her magic.”
With the first minute underway, the tutors finally get to the main subject of the ceremony.
“Anyway, here’s the reason why Flurry Heart is part of our group.” Sweetie Belle added. “We showed her what we do and she’s really into it.”
Scootaloo then takes out some photos she took when she and her friends we’re playing with Flurry Heart. While she shows all the photos, Apple Bloom does the talking.
“We saw her that she has a passion with anything she sees for the first time. In our treehouse, she was more than happy to be part of our group.”
“Ohh...That is so sweet!” Gabby commented.
“Not to mention one of the best things a baby can do.” Pipsqueak added.
The six reporters found the performance from the tutors really fascinating. The photos and the speech their making is what the School Of Friendship should be. Of course they come across their classes once they became tutors, and they couldn’t be more proud of their talented lessons.
For the rest of the ceremony, the Cutie Mark Crusaders did everything they need to for their first ever ceremony for Flurry. It took longer than they needed, but they hope it’s worth it. Their students found the stories really made them impressed in the baby alicorn. For Flurry Heart being a one of a kind, they really want to play with her to see if the tutors are right.
The ceremony is over and all that’s left is their grade to be looked at. The six reporters went to Twilight’s office, giving her their ratings simultaneously. The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Flurry Heart are waiting in the hallway from their test being grade. For the next ten minutes, all the reporters left the office while also reminding the four fillies to come inside.
When Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Flurry Heart enter Twilight’s office, the princess has a serious look on her face.
“So Twilight?” Apple Bloom said.
“Was our project good?” Sweetie Belle added.
“Or at least passable?” Scootaloo added.
Then this made Twilight smile while also laughing. “Your project was successful.”
“Really!?” The tutors reacted while Flurry Heart is surprised.
“Almost everyone of your students really adore the baby alicorn ceremony since Flurry Heart is a one of a kind.”
This made Flurry Heart blushed from her aunt’s compliment, while Scootaloo patted her on the head.
“Girls, sorry I was a bit concerned, it’s just that Flurry Heart is too young to handle anything complicated.”
“She loves newer things.” Apple Bloom smiled.
“You have no idea how happy she was during the whole ceremony.” Sweetie Belle added.
“Especially since she wants another ceremony next year.” Scootaloo added.
Twilight looked at Flurry Heart after the day she had. While she’s still a baby, she also needs to understand she can still learn new things. Not only does she trust the Cutie Mark Crusaders to take care of her, she also gave them her approval to do the first ever ceremony dedicated to the baby alicorn. Now with so many fillies knowing her, she must do the right thing.
“Yes. This will be a yearly thing until Flurry Heart gets older. Besides your sisters will be more than happy to watch your performance once I’ll tell them the whole story.”
“YES!” The Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered as they gave Flurry Heart a hug. Now that they succeed at something they planned for months, it’s their official activity to show anypony who hasn’t met Flurry Heart yet.
