My Little Pony: The Power of Ten
Chapter 10: School Daze
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSarah's POV
Okay, so after the whole Storm King incident, we discovered the Cutie Map had extended beyond Equestria, including all of the places we went to; Klugetown, Mount Aris and even the Hidden World. Twilight suggested the Map was telling to spread the Magic of Friendship far beyond Equestria with what happened at the Friendship Festival a clear indication there are threats beyond Equestria that are more dangerous than previously thought.
So she decided to open a School of Friendship to solve all the problems.
We all happily agreed to it, even my fathers; Donald and Douglas Davenport and Discord.
In no time at all, the
was built behind Twilight's Castle connected by a bridge that was over a pond.
The inside of the school was gigantic and all of us got our own classrooms, with mine specially designed by me and accustomed for Snowflake and my Pokemon; Pikachu and Zoura. There was a small desk at the front with a chalkboard. The majority off the classroom was free of chairs and desks, and instead was an open classroom that was connected to a large dome area where Snowflake and my Pokemon could all fly around and roam, showing the students their special skills as I would explain them.
Soon, the opening day came and I discovered some of my old friends were attending the school; Sandbar, Smolder the Dragon, Gallus the Griffion, Silverstream the Hippogriff, Yona the Yak and Ocellus the Changeling. They were all surprised to see me again and I was glad to see them again.
At first, Twilight's friends and Ren and the others liked the idea of a school but Twilight had this guidebook to the EEA's guidelines to running and school and applied them to her friends classrooms, which they and the students did not like. Pop-quizzes, long lectures, etc. The School of Friendship Twilight's way was not that fun. The gang complained to her, but she didn't really listen to them before she said that this Chanceloir Neighsay dude was coming over to Family and Friends Day.
Luckily, my class was the only one not changed to the EEA Way, much to the Young Six, what I decided to call Sandbar and the others, and the other students joy. Smolder and Gallus were impressed with Snowflake's flying and Zoura's ability to change into any creature or pony she wanted to.
"So when do these eggs hatch, Professor Sarah?" Sandbar asked.
"Sandbar, you can just call me Sarah and I don't really know. As I said, Pokemon are very mysterious. We learn about them everyday." Sarah grinned. "Now how about you six and I go out on a little outing together to catch up?"
"Yeah!" Sandbar and the Young Six smiled.
It warmed my heart to reconnect with my old friends from my travels as we sat near a lake some distance from the school. I told them about what I've been up to ever since I left their lands during my travels. They couldn't believe that Snowflake was the white tiger they've all seen at first or that Void was my brother, but they were understanding and happy that I managed to get rid of him, "Now I'm trying to find a new purpose here in Equestria."
"Hmmm.... Nice pony could raise... Pokemon and Dragons like..... Sanctuary!" Yona smiled.
"Yeah, you've already got loads of those Pokemon eggs, why not create a Sanctuary when they all hatch?" Smolder added.
"You easily raise and care for them like that and it would make class a whole lot more fun!" Ocellus replied.
"Hmmm.... good points... I guess I could give it a try, with you help of course." I replied.
"Of course." Sandbar smiled. Yona and the others smiled as well.
"Now come on, let's head back for Friends and Family Day, wouldn't want your rulers and my friends to worry." Sarah grinned. The Young Six nodded and they followed me back to the school where we found their rulers and Twilight and the all the others, "Ah Sarah, I see you have the rest of our students." she smiled, coming over with Chancelior Neighsay who immedaitely looked upset seeing the Young Six were students here.
"Those are students? But you said you were opening this school to protect Equestria! To defend ponies from... dangerous creatures who don't have our best interests at heart!" Neighsay replied. Yep, don't like him already.
"My school teaches for all of us to work together through friendship," Twilight retorted boldly.
"And how do you know these creatures won't take what they have learned here and use it against us?" Neighsay accused.
"Friendship isn't just for ponies!" Twilight defended.
"It should be." Neighsay growled.
"You don't get to claim Friendship is just for pony, dude." I said boldly.
"Hmph, and why not? Those creatures are dangerous to ponies."
"You don't know them as well as I do, Neighsay and I'm not letting you speak badly about my friends or their rulers." I replied determined.
"And why should you know anything about these creatures? For all we know those humans could pose the same threat!" Neighsay claimed, pointing at Ren and the others.
"The hell you say?!" Jack exclaimed.
"That's just mean!" Kaede added.
"We would never harm our friends, you maggot!" Skye snarled.
"My friends are harmless the only threat to them are ponies who don't believe in them. I on the other hand, have believed in them and with their help they have helped me spread friendship, love and peace within and far beyond Equestria. They may seem like dangerous creatures to you, but who cares about what you think or about your rulebook on how a 'credited' school should be. This school is not an EEA School, its a Friendship School with its own rules." I praised. "And I should know, I wrote the book!" I presented Neighsay with a handwritten Rulebook about the school much to his dismay.
"Throughout my travels, Ember, Thorax, Queen Novo and Prince Ruthford have taught me that all creatures are special and unique in their own way, so how we teach should be just as special as they are." Sarah added before Twilight came up to her, "But Sarah the EEA Rulebook says-" I gave her a deadpanned look and knocked the book out her hooves and into the water, "Doesn't matter Twilight. It's our job to spread Friendship throughout Equestria and beyond, you shouldn't let one pony stand in the way of you doing what you were meant to do as a Princess."
"White Pony right. Yak and creatures special!" Prince Ruthford smiled.
"Spoken like a true Queen." Queen Novo grinned at her old friend.
Chancellor Neighsay narrowed his eyes at Sarah, "Now I suggest you leave Chancellor Neighsay or else..." I smirked as Winter hovered over me with her mouth glowing purple, ready to force Neighsay away if need be.
"Grr... this isn't over, Sarah..." and with that Chancellor Neighsay left the school ground and everyone cheered happily. Ren and the others came up to me and praised,
"That was amazing, Sarah!"
"You sure told him off!"
"Hahaha, acting like a mini version of Tasha."
"Brovo Brovo, honey."
Ember and the other leaders outside of Equestria then came over, "Sarah, thank you for defending us." Thorax smiled.
"Yeah, that was pretty bold of you." Ember added.
"I couldn't let him speak bad about my friends. What kind of Queen of Harmony would I be?" I grinned at them.
"Yeah, Nice Pony!" Yona smiled, tackling me to the ground. Everyone and I laughed happily at the affectionate Yak before the rest of the Young Six joined in together with the School of Friendship now on a new path of teaching and thriving. "Now come, let's give everyone a proper tour of the Friendship School."
Everyone nodded and they all joined into one special song for a special school.
