My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship
Season 4: Episode 3 - Tutors
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Things are coming along nicely." Twilight said as she and her friends were getting the classrooms set up. Though there seemed to be a bit of a room nearby that has a sign that said "After-School Tutoring". "Wonder what Cozy Glow is up to know." Twilight said and went inside, finding Cozy Glow setting up a place that seemed balanced in materials.
"Oh hey Headmare Twilight. Hope you don't mind me setting up this little area. See, there are going to be some students who will struggle here and there, which is why I'm adding this little area to the school." Cozy Glow said.
"Well that's good and all Cozy Glow, but considering your going home when your done here, whose going to be the full-time tutors?" Twilight asked.
"Sorry we're late." Apple Bloom said from nearby.
"Apple Bloom? Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo?" Applejack asked.
"Hey, I'm here too. So is Silver Spoon." Diamond Tiara said.
"What are you five doing here?" Rarity asked.
"Cozy Glow said she should've explained it." Sweetie Belle said.
"I told you five girls to come at seven thirty. I even let Cherilee know it was official business for the Princess of Friendship." Cozy Glow said. "You girls are a whole thirty minutes early." She added.
"Sorry Cozy Glow, guess we got anxious." Scootaloo said.
"I repeat Rarity's question: What are they doing here, Cozy Glow?" Twilight asked.
"Well, seeing as they have learnt a lot about friendship, to the point where they can easily be teaching it, because their too young to be teachers, I figured I'd have them become your school's tutors. I even got Cherilee to agree to it as extra credit for the five of them." Cozy Glow said.
"Cozy Glow, why would you go around Twilight's back like this?" Amiticia asked.
"Because Vice-stallion Amiticia, it's saving everyone time this way." Cozy Glow said.
"Vice-stallion?" Amiticia asked.
"Who else would be Headmare Twilight's second in command? Or would you rather I use the other word? You know, the very dirty word. Though I'm sure once I do, Twilight is probably going to rinse my mouth out with soap." Cozy Glow said. "Either her or Rarity." She added.
"Isn't the word for male changelings--" Silver Spoon started before Diamond Tiara stopped her.
"Don't. Say it." Diamond Tiara said. "Especially because we're no older then Cozy Glow." She added.
"What's wrong with saying 'Monkey' anyways?" Apple Bloom said. And then suddenly a soap bar was taken to Apple Bloom's mouth using Twilight's magic.
"That word may seem all that innocent, but to Changelings, it translates to..." Twilight then proceeded to say something that was promptly censored. "...Which is a very dirty word." Twilight said.
"...I will never look at those creatures the same way again..." Diamond Tiara said.
"I think no one ever will after that..." Fluttershy said.
"Still, what do you mean this saves time?" Twilight asked.
"If they aren't part of this school somehow, they'll try and join up their way, which will end in failure so they'll try helping a student with their homework anyways. Which will then end up you making them tutors so the end result would be the same regardless. My mother told me this was the best way to handle things so we don't waste time." Cozy Glow said.
Twilight opened her mouth to object but then stopped. "...Knowing three of them...that's exactly what'll happen anways. But what about the other two?" The purple alicorn asked.
"Oh in addition to being tutors, they're also going to keep an eye out for bullies. Hence me clearing things with Cherilee. These five will still take Cherilee's classes, they'll just be doing that stuff from home from now on. Or here, one of the two." Cozy Glow said.
"And you signed this off as work for me why?" Twilight asked.
"Hey, you don't want bullying to happen at the school of friendship do you? Would pretty much prove Nieghsay right that only ponies can exhibit friendship. Well here you have two former bullies who can help you spot bullies before things progress to the point where Nieghsay gets proven right." Cozy Glow said.
"...Why does that make so much sense? And how did you get Diamond Tiara's mother to--" Twilight said.
"Actually, you were off on your honeymoon when a certain...incident happened." Diamond Tiara said.
While Twilight and Amiticia were on their honey moon...
Spoiled Rich was walking around Ponyville when she slipped and fell; almost falling into ponyville river, when suddenly Apple Boom managed to save her with her friends. "Geez, you should really watch where your stepping, Mrs. Rich." Apple Bloom said after. "If me and my friends weren't here, you'd be all washed up. Litterally." She added.
"And just why were you three around here?" Spoiled Rich asked.
"First off it's a weakend. Second off, it's because the river current is strong today. So everypony from school is helping make sure no one falls in." Sweetie Belle said.
"Err...I see..." Spoiled Rich said. She knew what that meant: Landing in the river would sweep one way out to sea with no hope of rescue in time before something vicious got to the pony. "Th-thank you then..." Spoiled Rich said and then left to go back home.
"After that, mom has been perfectly fine with me hanging out with the cutie mark crusaders." Diamond Taira said.
"...Never mind then. Wow..." Twilight said. "Me and Amiticia missed something while we were gone then." She added.
"Sorry Twilight, guess it slipped our minds darling." Rarity said.
"Yeah. Sorry Twi." Rainbow Dash said.
"It's fine. Everypony forgets something every now and again." Twilight said.
"Wise words to live by. Mom says the same thing sometimes." Cozy Glow said.
"Ah'm real curious to just who your mother is anyways. Is it somepony Twilight and her friends have met before?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Mmm...you could say that Apple Bloom." Cozy Glow said before everypony and Amiticia got to helping set up the school. When she was alone, Cozy Glow took a glance at Twilight Sparkle who was helping out her various friends. "...You could most certainly say that indeed..." Cozy Glow said to herself with no one around to hear her or see her.
Author's Note
So, I basically said an obviously made-up word for changeling males here as someone was curious. FYI, the word I used was fake; the real word is indeed a word that would cause a child's parents to wash their mouth out with soap. Hence the censorship. Also yes, I didn't touch on the CMC's cutie mark event because there was absolutely nothing different.
