My Little Pony: Bullying is NOT Magic
By: 007

A relatively warm spring morning in Equestria, all the fillies and colts make their way to school, here at canterlot kindergarten, things are generally peaceful…Except…

A dark blue unicorn trots onto the grass at the kindergarten playground, all the other fillies playing, so happy, so care-free, but him…The blue unicorn just watched the fillies play, anger in his eyes.

He’s always been ignored, and more recently, feared. He watches for awhile and trots closer to the playground…He knocks over a few fillies, pushes one off the slide and makes his way to the swings.

There on the swings was a lone filly, a unicorn with a light green coat and a white mane, sitting with her doll, a somewhat old ragdoll, but a doll she cared about nonetheless, happily sitting and swinging…A perfect target.

“Now, now, Mr. Ruffles, don’t fall down, we don’t want you getting dirty.” The filly said happily. Then she noticed the blue unicorn.

The unicorn stared at her with a rather evil grin on his face.

The filly unicorn stared back at the blue colt with fear. “W-What do you want?” She asked, quivering.

The colt chuckled and responded “ohhh nothing” he smiled evilly, he then noticed the filly’s doll. “oh, who’s this?” his magic levitated the doll towards him.

“NO! DON’T HURT MR. RUFFLES!” the filly screamed while tears welled in her eyes. “YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU BIG BULLY!” trying to rescue her doll

The blue colt just laughed and kept the doll just out of reach of the filly. “hahaha! Try and save Mr Ruffles!”

The light green filly cried and continued to beg the colt to leave the doll alone, but the colt was too amused to care.

The filly now sat on the ground, looking at her cherished doll that is now floating above her, just out of reach…Crying and no longer speaking.

The colt just laughed, but unable to control his magic for very long, being so young, he accidentally lost control of his levitation magic and the doll flew into a tree.

“Oops…” The colt said quietly. “I wasn’t done with that yet!” he said aloud. He used his magic to levitate the doll back over to him, but in the process it tore one of the doll’s legs off by getting it caught on a branch and also tore the front and back open a bit, stuffing showing from the tears.

He lay the doll on the ground in front of the filly.

“NO! MR. RUFLLES!” The filly cried loudly. She looked up at the colt angrily, her eyes filled with tears.

“YOU BIG BULLY! THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU! YOU’RE MEAN AND SELFISH! AND YOU JUST HURT EVERYPONY! YOU SHOULD JUST…GO AWAY!”

The filly galloped off into the school. And the crowd that came around the two started to trot into the school, murmuring things about the colt.

After the crowd left, the colt sat there, staring at the torn doll. His ears lowered and a tear fell from his eyes.
“…I don’t like being mean…But when I was nice…Nopony paid attention to me…Not even you…” He said to nopony.

The colt put the doll and the torn leg into his backpack and sadly trotted into school.

The school day was miserable for both the blue colt and the green filly. The colt was always staring at the filly who was always crying, probably the most tense day of school Canterlot Kindergarten ever saw. Nopony really talked, they spent the whole day whispering to each other.

After school let out, the blue colt made his way home where he asked his mom to teach him to sew. He spent all night learning this new technique…

“…Honey, wake up, you’ll be late for school.”

A voice said. The blue colt awoke, got his things and made his way to school.

Similar day to the previous, colts and fillies playing happily in the playground, the blue colt watching them, but he had a different look today, one of…Regret.

He trotted past all the fillies he usually knocked over and right up to the swings…

…Sure enough, she was there, the light green unicorn from yesterday, sitting on the swing, alone, crying, and not swinging.
She looked up to see the blue unicorn staring at her blankly.

“W-What *sniff* What do you *sniff* want? You big *sniff* bully? Here *sniff* to *sniff* pick on me some more?!” The filly asked through tears.

The colt said nothing, but looked down, his ears drooped and he shook his head, he levitated something out of his backpack. It was the filly’s doll, fully repaired, and he levitated it over to her.

The filly gasped “MR. RUFFLES! YOU’RE OKAY! OHH I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!” The filly happily hugged her doll and the tears disappeared from her eyes.

The colt turned around and started to trot away sadly.

“Hey.” He heard a female voice say from behind him, it was the filly.
He turned around, and looked at her sadly.

The filly looked at him curiously “Thank you…But…Why?” She noticed the bandages on the colt’s hooves from all the failed sewing attempts. “Why do this? I thought you hated me.”

The colt said nothing but shook his head in sorrow. Tears welling in his eyes, unnoticeable by the fact he kept his eyes closed.

The filly trotted up to him.

“You…You aren’t so bad after all…You…Are lonely, huh?”

The colt nodded and finally spoke.

“Nopony ever paid attention to me…I figured…Being mean was the only way to get anypony to notice me…”

The filly frowned. “That isn’t the way…But…Why did you pick on me so much?”

The colt looked at her.

“I dunno…”

The filly smiled “You like me, don’t you?”

The colt gave a natural young colt response “Ew, no. Fillies are gross!” but he then smiled and blushed a little.

The filly giggled and hugged the colt. “You aren’t such a bad colt after all. I’ll be your friend, if you agree to stop being mean to everypony.”

The colt happily nodded. “Deal.”

The two shook hooves and trotted off together.

THE END
