My Little Pony Generation 5 (Revised)
Missing Princess Part 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the first day of school began, with all the students in their first classes getting their first assignments from their teachers, Starlight was leading her royal guests through the halls as they stopped by some of the classes. Most of the students seemed to be enjoying their time and teachers as Twilight was quite pleased that Starlight changed very little, the difference obviously being the teachers as Twilight and her friends now had to rule Equestria and had no time to teach anymore.
"Everything looks to be in working order Starlight, hard to believe that you were once only my student and now look at you, being in charge of an entire school." Twilight commented.
"Thanks Twilight, but come on, you deserve all the credit for this, not me, I was only given the responsibility." Starlight blushed as she was rather embarrassed.
As the group took a stop at a class being taught by Big Mac, in the same outdoor classroom that was Applejack's, the students were hard at work making some birdhouses, busy nailing the wood boards together, sharing tools and such. Big Mac noticed the visitors and bowed his head as Starlight smiled and went to Big Mac to talk to him. Meanwhile as the class continued working, occasionally stopping to glance at the royal visitors, Flurry noticed a pair of students not really getting along with each other...
"No, I'm nailing the boards, I'm stronger!" Smoky said in a slight yelling voice as he was working with Teresa.
"Don't you know what I am?" Teresa replied, annoyed. "I'm a changeling and can turn into any creature, don't make me change into something much bigger than you!"
"How about you try it and we'll see who's stronger than..." Smoky dared as the two bumped heads with each other, on the verge of making a scene.
As Twilight and her parents were occupied talking to some other students now, Flurry was left alone and she knew that she should tell her auntie or parents, but she thought that maybe she could solve the problem herself, after all she knew that she was going to be an official princess one day, might as well practice for when that day comes. So bravely she went to go settle the matter between the two students.
"I see there's a problem here, everything alright?" Flurry asked calmly, hoping to defuse the situation.
"No, but how about you mind your own business pony..." Smoky sneered at Flurry.
"Yeah, who asked you?" Teresa actually agreeing with Smoky on this.
"I just thought that I could maybe solve whatever issue there is here..." Flurry said nervously.
"Flurry, what's going on here?" Twilight's voice sounded as Flurry looked to see her auntie standing behind her.
"These two were arguing and I thought I could help solve the problem." Flurry stated.
"Well we don't need any help, thank you very much." Teresa said.
Twilight looked at Smoky and Teresa and thought that it would be better if the two solved the problem themselves, sometimes two creatures need to talk it out between the two.
"Okay, but please do not change into any other creature." Twilight speaking to Teresa." And no fire." Twilight told Smoky. "Come on Flurry, we should get going."
As Flurry followed her auntie, she kept on looking back at the two continuing to not settle on their problem as she sighed, which Twilight took notice of.
"I know you feel like you should get involved Flurry, but sometimes it's best to leave others alone to figure it out by themselves." Twilight advised her young niece.
"I guess you're right Auntie Twily..." Flurry replied as she knew she couldn't argue with the Princess of Friendship on this.
Soon enough the walk around the school was over as the Friends and Family Day event was around the corner as final preparations were being done as the royal visitors pitched in to help, even thought they weren't asked to. As Flurry helped her mother put up some colored ribbons, the Cake family came, including the twins Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake and well Pound changed his expression as he saw the young alicorn filly.
"Hey Pound, Pumpkin!" Flurry said happily as the Cake twins were helping their parents bring over the baked goods that Starlight requested for the day. "Good to see the two of you."
"It's nice to see you too, your highness." Pumpkin teased.
"Oh come on, I'm not a princess yet..." Flurry blushed as she turned to Pound. "And how are you Pound Cake?"
"Good..." Pound stuttered. "You look... look..." Pound not quite getting out the words. "Oh did you hear that, our parents are calling us, see you later!" Pound galloping off to join his parents while Pumpkin rolled her eyes at her brother before saying goodbye to Flurry and returning to her own family.
"Looks like somepony has a crush on you sweetie..." Cadance's voice spoke to her daughter.
"Mom!" Flurry blushed as she had no response while her mother just chuckled.
"Easy sweetie, I'm only teasing, but seriously, if he likes you, maybe you should consider seeing Pound Cake more when you get the chance." Cadance advised. "He certainly seems like a good colt."
"Really?" Flurry questioned, confused. "But don't you and dad want me to marry someone from royalty?"
"Sweetie, love can come from anywhere and anyone, it doesn't matter how different you are in wealth and power." Cadance answered. "And Pound Cake looks like he'll grow up into a good stallion, in fact I remember when your father and I started going out, he was nervous, but also has a very good heart, even thought sometimes I thought his heart would burst out of his chest sometimes when we saw each other." Cadance smiling at remembering how disoriented Shining Armor can get when he was around her.
At this point, the students and teachers were all free, having completed the first day of classes as they all came to gather outside the school on this nice day as the parents/guardians of the students were there already as everyone mingled and chatted along themselves. Of course there was a lot of attention paid to the royal visitors, especially Princess Twilight as they knew she was the former headmare of the school. So while the royals were busy, Flurry was free as she was not yet well known to really be approached by anycreature, Flurry spent time talking to her friend in Ponyville, Pumpkin, as they chatted along themselves, while Pound... Well he mostly stayed with his parents.
"So, do you think your brother has a crush on me or something?" Flurry asked her friend.
"My brother? Has a crush on you?" Pumpkin teased. "Of course he does, why shouldn't? Why... Do you like him?"
"Well... I..." Flurry at a loss of words as she struggled with an answer. "Maybe..."
While the two fillies had their conversation, with Pumpkin giggling to Flurry's response, nearby a disturbance was undergoing...
Abby was going for a cupcake, when Smoky, who was about to take the same one, got a little angry...
"Hey, I was reaching for that one!" Smoky stated, upset.
"Oh sorry... Here you go..." Abby gave up and was about to give the treat to Smoky, only for Rose to step up and help the griffon.
"Wait, she had it first, so it should be her's." Rose argued.
"You seriously want to pick a fight with a dragon, pony girl..." Smoky sneered at the red unicorn.
"Woah, hey now, you don't go picking on some girls, why don't you pick on a boy like me?" Feather coming up to defend Abby and Rose, but mostly Rose.
"No problem..." Smoky replied as he pushed Feather, hard, the hippogriff losing his balance as he bumped right into Khan, who wasn't expecting this as the impact made him spill his drink which splashed all over Teresa, who was close by.
"Okay, who was that!?" Teresa said angrily as she looked around and saw Khan with his now empty cup dripping. "What's your problem Yak, too clumsy?"
"It's not Yak's fault!" Khan defending himself as he looked behind him. "It's hippogriff's fault!"
"Hey, I wouldn't have done so had this dragon not pushed me!" Feather looking at Smoky.
"You're blaming me, you're the one who picked a fight in the first place!" Smoky shouted back as now a real scene was going on.
Twilight and Starlight were going to be the first ones to defuse the situation, but Flurry beat them to it as she passed by her auntie and right away took charge.
"Enough!" The little alicorn filly shouted as loud as she could as she used her magic to literally stop the fighting, engulfing the six arguing creatures in a magical aura. "Is this how you're going to be spending your first day here at the School of Friendship, by not being friendly towards each other, you were sent here to learn friendship and make friends and this is not how you do it!" And Flurry then felt a hoof on her as she looked to see her Auntie Twily with a smile.
"My niece is right, I created this school in the first place so all the lands can share friendship with each other and spread it all around, you six have a lot to learn and I hope you do during your time here." Twilight agreeing with Flurry. "However Flurry, please let them down." Twilight requested of her niece, which she did so, gently putting down the six as Starlight came up.
"What did I tell you about picking fights?" Ember said a bit sternly to Smoky.
And you young man, I expected better." Queen Skystar joining in as she spoke harshly to Feather.
"I'm very sorry your majesties, with your permission, I would very much like for them to come to my office and stay there during the event to think about this." Starlight requested.
"Of course." Thorax agreed as the other leaders did as well.
As Flurry watched the six leave, being led by headmare Starlight, Flurry felt a little bad for them and maybe she could try getting through again in a softer way. So after a few minutes, Flurry decided to go see them, but not before getting some treats to share and carrying them on a plate with her magic, after making sure no one saw her go, she entered the school, trotting through the halls to come to the headmare's office, its doors towering over the little alicorn filly as she knocked on the door with her hoof.
"Come in." Starlight called as Flurry then opened the door. "Flurry, what are you doing here?" Starlight wondered as the six students with Starlight turned to see her.
"I just thought that since these six couldn't be with everycreature out there, I could bring them some treats." Flurry explained. "Also since I'm here, you can go back to the party."
"Well, I guess since you're here, these six can't leave anytime without somecreature noticing." Starlight thinking about it. "Alright, but you have to stay here."
"Will do auntie." Flurry nodding her head in understanding as Starlight trotted out of her office, Flurry closing the door for Starlight as she turned her attention to the six.
"What is little pink pony doing here?" Khan asked.
"Yeah, didn't you cause enough trouble for me?" Smoky shot at Flurry.
"Look, I think we all got off on the wrong hoof and I think we can all try to get along with each other and try to form some connections." Flurry suggested.
"Well, it's not like we can do much else..." Abby sighed as she hated being coped up in the headmare's office.
"Good, how about we start with names, my name is Flurry Heart..." Flurry started.
Back to the present...
"Funny that's how we first got to know each other..." Feather chuckled awkwardly.
"Yeah, but looking back, I'm glad that was the first time." Teresa added.
"Life certainly has been interesting for the seven of us." Flurry sighed as she looked at the school. "Sometimes I wish I could have been attending this school with you all, instead of learning how to become a princess one day..."
As soon as Flurry said that, a magical popping sound could be heard behind the seven and a familiar voice greet them...
"Which you should be one right now..." Starlight's voice sounded as Flurry and friends turned to see the headmare having popped right behind them.
