I laid in my bed, enjoying the warmth of the sun that was filtering from outside the window of my room, knowing that in a few minutes my Mother was going to come and wake me up.
Not that it was all that needed, I usually woke up well before the sun begins to rise...unless I had spent the night before gazing at the night sky.
It was a guilty pleasure of mine, I admit, seeing as I should be long asleep before the stars that I enjoy watching came out, but I wouldn't stop no matter what.
Each and every night, Princess Luna would paint the sky with countless stars, creating ever new and beautiful constellations...of course with in reason, it wouldn't do for the Star of the North to suddenly be pointing at South now would it? Imagine all those poor ponies that have to travel by boat, they would be quite bucked.
Ah but I am rambling, let me introduce myself, I am Ivory Comet, a pleasure to be meeting you my dear Reader. If you have found this script it means that the safe I had put it in wasn't quite was quite as safe as I had guessed...anyway, enough of that.
As I was saying, I am Ivory Comet first -and unfortunately- only son of Ivory Law and Cream Cheese.
I live in the village -or more like city- at the hoofs of the Sisters Castles, with a populations of about six thousand ponies, it is one of the wealthiest settlements of Equestria.
Life is in general normal around here and not all that exciting, of course, it has it's odd moments, such as when ponies start to sing in perfect harmony, even without knowing the lyrics of the song that was sang, I experience it myself, quite weird if oddly satisfying.
My Father is a rather well off unicorn, coming from a rich family...that unfortunately cut ties from him the moment my Father married my Mother, but, even after being cut off from his own family for his 'poor' choice in life he still managed to find a respectable job that can mantain our higher standard of life, even at the constant complains of my Mother saying how much of a snob my Father is.
My Father is a...what was the word? Judger? Yes something along those lines, he makes sure that criminals remain in prison, and innocent ponies are let free. It's more like a lawyer now that I think about it, but they call him a Judger for some reasons that I have yet to understand.
As for my Mother, she is an earth pony...and she makes cheese, not the most fancy of jobs but one that still pays...don't ask me from where the milks comes from, I do not know, nor I wish to know.
I was cut off from my own thoughts by the creaking noise of the door.
There stood a lovely mare, a nice yellow cream coat, a white mane, big brownish eyes...she could lose some weight though, especially on her flanks.
"Comet? Come on honey, it's time to get up"
"Yes Mom" with a simple levitation spell, the blanked that had been all over me was lifted up into the air. Slipping out of bed, I yawned before giving a small smile at my Mother, a smile that she sent right back with all the teeth she could put in.
"Slept well?" she asked me, eyebrow raised, ready to scoold me in case I had stayed up beyond bed time.
"Mmm-mm, yeah, no dreams tho"
She smiled at that before shaking her head "Well, that's quite sad to hear, but it would be even more sad if you missed your first day at school"
I froze on the spot, mind going blank for a second before I shouted "It's today?!"
The smile on my Mother face turned into one of amusement before she snickered out "Of course it is my silly foal! Now go down stairs, breakfast's ready, when I'll come down I'll accompany you to school"
I fervently nodded at that, zooming out of my room, passing by a still snickering Mom.
Going downstairs, I sat on the table of our kitchen, before all but inhaling my food -something akin to a pancake, but made of hay and eggs-, not allowing myself to waste time on savouring the no-doubt delicious food, I stood back up and waited for Mother.
About three minutes later -I had keept count by tapping my hoof on the floor- Mother came down, she gave me a small kiss on the head, just below my horn, before saying "Ready to go?"
"Yes!" I was exited about this, in four years of my life I had yet to go to any type of school, and I couldn't wait to see as to what juicy knowledge they where going to offer...what if they even teach some magic?!
That would be beyond cool, I only know the levitation spell and I was quite giddy at the prospect of learning more!
With that, I all but skipped towards the door, eagerly opening it up and turning to look back at my Mom with a smile. I could see Mother chuckle at me, before she followed suit, she took the lead and started walking towards my new and awesome school!

..I.Regret.Everything.
Of course it was going to be like this, it's not like they can make us learn anything exciting seeing as we are only four years old foals.
I mean, we only introduced ourself to the rest of the class, and then we started learning how to read....I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT FOR CELESTA SAKE!
BUT! Apperantly, all the other foals don't so I have to stay put, stare at the black board with the big equestrian letters in it, and say the words along with the class...MY Father will hear of this!
Or my name is not Draco Malfoy! Oh wait, that's not my name...well still this sucks.
Here I was, ready to learn the secrets of the universe -everypony knows that the answer is 42 after all- only to get slapped on the muzzle and told 'No'...
I WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK DAMN IT!
I have a mouth, and I have to avoid using it...but the urge to scream is strong in me.
The first day of school sucked, all the other foals are spoiled rot, and the teacher clearly already has favourites.
I should have imagine something like this would have happened, I really should have,we are in a period of time where unicorns are consider as sort of nobility, of course their foul spawn will be stuck up idiots.
I already had to decline three times a foal by the name of Azure Sky the 'honor' of me being his slave in all but name.
No I am not going to carry your toys around Azure, get lost.
The teacher, at least doesn't have an annoying voice, but I am ready for the other horseshoes to drop at any moment, Strict Lesson is not a name that makes me wonder as to how he'll be in our lessons.
Unless he is getting payed by some of the nobles parents to leave their foal do what they want.
Something that I have noticed in my class is that there are already groups -herds?- formed, and each of them glance between one another like they expect a war to start.
I, of course, distanced myself from such nonsense, which will probably gain me some notice by the 'Bullies' of this class, but what they are gona do? Call me a Blank Flank?
As an ex human, insults and intimidation in general from ponies don't really work, I mean how can you take someone seriously when they look like colourful marshmallows? So yeah, they can try but they will be in for a rude surprise.
And, if they get physical, I'll simply go cry to the teacher or something, because no way I am laying a hoof on the precious child of a noble.
Glancing back at the blackboard I can see how they have reached the letter 'H' which looks almost the same save for the fact that it's made out of wooboly lines.
The Equestrian language is a bizarre one to be sure, the majority of it looks like random doodles, but in reality they do have some sense. To distinguish a letter from another you just have to look for a flat part of line, seeing as each letter can be best described as long wobbly lines...which makes them a pain to write, and also an incredible waste of paper, which while not as expensive as someone would expect, is still pricey.
Oh, look they have finally reach the 'Z' praise be done to Celestia.
Mmmm, I wonder if Celestia can actually feel the prayers of ponies? I am not sure, but if that's the case
'I pray for another beautiful night, Princess Luna'
There, now I feel less like a douchebag from this random act of nonsense...if she can actually hear me then I may have made a mistake...nnaahhh.
I watched as the teacher got up, took out a bell from under his desk, and started ringing it while smiling.
Of course I can see as basically everyone transfix themselves upon the shiny bell, probably wondering what it meant.
"It's time for you all to go out and play, have fun!"
With that the guy basically zoomed out of class -no seriously he literally formed a cloud in the shape of his body behind-, the door on the other side of the room opening up to reveal a lush garden for us to stay in.
Of course all the other starts shrieking before launching themselves towards their playground...animals- oh, wait is that racist!?
I-I don't actually know? I mean there are animals in this word but they usually call them critters...okay I won't risk saying such word, for all I know it could be the same as horse- which means whore in here...that had not been the best moment of my life.
Trotting out the door, I took in the sight of my classmates playing tag, rolling on the ground...and nope, I'm out of here.
I draw the line at that, not going, eenope.
Making a 180° turn I cloped towards one of the shelf's on the walls of the class, where juicy books awaited me.
Pursuing my lips I read the tittles of the books.
'Tale of two princess'
'Rain Rain go Away'
'101 ways to pleasure your mare'
.
.
.
.
WHAT THE BUCK?!
WHY IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA IS THAT HERE?!
DO THEY NOT CHECK?! IF ONE OF THE NOBLE WERE TO SEE THIS....bucking hell.
Levitating the dirty book up to me, I look around the room to try and see if I can spot a safe place to hide it...
A grin split my face as a rather mischievous idea came to me, happily trotting up to the teacher desk, I open one of it's drawers before tucking the book in, putting it in the same place as the bell, I closed the compartment and left...I am evil! muahahahhaha
...I really need to get a life.

The rest of the day was spent with me silently snickering to myself after seeing the face the teacher made when he saw what was along side the bell.
I had never seen a pony turn red , but now I am glad I did.
The others were giving me weird looks, and one of the guys near me slowly started leaning away from me.
And I don't know why?! Is it because of my delighted giggles of amusement? They can't be that bad!
...No scratch that, I actually listened to myself, I sound about ready to kill someone while announcing how much I love them.
Shutting down my fit, I took a careful look around, yep they are still looking at me, as well as the teacher.
"Little Mister Comet, may you tell us what you find so funny?"
Well he asked, smiling I replayed with a giggle "W-well, Mister Strict y-you turned red like a tomato!"
Some of the children joined in my fit of giggles, and the teacher looked uncomfortable...I wonder why?

School ended without much fanfare, everyone got up, left, and went back to their parents.
My Mother was there waiting for me, trying -and failing- to hold a conversation with one of the nobles, the mare not even bothering to look at her.
"Hi Mom!" I gave her a big smile before turning towards the noble mare "And good day to you to madam"
The snob just gave a look before ignoring me....you will pay.
Shrugging I turned towards Mother, who looked a bit uncomfortable before she focused back on me and smiled back "Hi honey! Let's go back home"
I happily nodded at that, and slid to her side.
She turned and started to clop away, but not before slightly leaning towards my ear and saying "wouldn't want to catch whatever she as"
I snickered at that, yep, stupidity and bigotry can be contagious, especially for children like me!
The walk back home was rather quaint, the first few minutes of it being filled by my happy retelling of my first day -without the mention of the book, of course- at school, Mother listening in and complimenting me for how smart I am -Yes praise me!- before chiding me about not having made a friend...buck them, I don't need them.
The rest of the trip was filled by my Mother soothing hums, a song which I didn't know the title softly being spoke by here.
We passed by an orange vendor, a friend of my mother named Orange Peel who greeted us.
Sadly we didn't buy anything -I love oranges, even if I like more lemons, I have a tooth for sour things...a sour tooth?
So, we kept on going, sometimes mother stoped to check on what was being offered, but ultimately she didn't buy anything...though I saw her eyeing one of the candies placed on display.
Which brings me to another topic, technology is weird here.
For being in such period of time, ponies where both advanced and backwards, if that makes sense.
They have lamps powered by magic, but a fridge? No sir, apperantly a box full of ice to preserve food is too much.
They have sewers, but phones?! THEY HAVE NO PHONES FOR BUCK SAKE HOW CAN I SURVIVE WITHOUT-
*ahem* So, yes, ponies are weird, end of the discussion.

Going back inside -~~your mom~~- my house, I was greeted by the sight of my busy father, looking over some documents.
My father had a bright white colored fur, a inky black mane, and two deep blue eyes.
He was leaning to read his documents, which would be an odd sight, because to properly lean to look them in full, he has to stand on his hind legs on the chair while holding himself steady by placing his front hoof against the table, a very odd sight indeed, seeing as he could use magic.
But my father was weird like that, sometimes he used magic too much, sometimes he almost seemed disgusted by the idea of using it.
Why there was one time where-
"Ah! My son, my love welcome home! Did you two enjoy a nice day?"
I was cut off from my flashback by my overly cheerful father, who, despite having possibly worked all day long, still had steam in his engine to act like a water down version of Pinkie Pie.
"UMM, school was kinda boring to be honest"
"Oh oh! Of course school would be boring for a bright foal such as your self! Why, I could not expect less from my shining Comet!"
I cringed a bit inside for that, it's not that I am a genius, it's just that I have 17 years of experience rolling inside my head like a ball.
My mother smiled before walking up to father, and planting a kiss on his cheeks saying right after "As always, today as been a busy day, but I managed"
She trotted away, probably going to the kitchen to start cooking, I couldn't wait for it.
My father was a bit out of it, having that loopy smile of his when mother would kiss him, so to help him out, I kicked his shin-fetlock.
With a yelp he returned to the lands of the living, before looking down at me.
"Ah! I must have started daydreaming! Thanks for the help son...now come here!"
GOT A RUN!
