Chapter 6: The day zero lessons nearly destroyed the town, part 2.
Pinky pie was jumping to the picnic with a basket, once she put it down she took the top off to reveal balloons, they floated away, taking the basket with them. Applejack put a red and white colored checkerboard blanket on the ground, so the group didn't eat on the grass.
"Oh, please do not tell me I forgot the plates. I did forget, how could I forget the plates, out of all the things this, is, the, worst, possible, thing!" Rarity said as she pulled out a fainting couch from nowhere to lay on.
She noticed that some of the group were staring with deadpan looks.
"What? You really didn't think I was going to lay on the grass did you?" Rarity said confused.
The others just went back to what they were doing, Rainbow dash put on her sunglasses and lay on the blanket. She noticed a box drop by her head and looked up to see who dropped the box, and she saw Twilight with a creepy smile. Rainbow dash jumped to her hooves out of shock, and the rest of the group watched, Worried that Twilight may have lost it.
"Uh, Twi, ya good?" Applejack asked concerned.
"No, I'm not alright," Twilight answered saddened
The girls were worried that something bad was going on.
"What's wrong Twilight?" Fluttershy asked worriedly.
"It is the most terrible thing is what it is," Twilight said.
"Yes?" The group asked at once.
"My letter on learning a friendship problem to Princess Celestia is almost late, and I haven't learned anything about friendship," Twilight said in a panic.
The group gave sighs of relief, they thought something bad had happened.
"Oh, thank goodness, I thought something truly bad had happened," Fluttershy said relived.
Twilight was shocked at the fact that her friends treated her problem as if it was not important.
"But it is bad if I don't turn in the letter by the end of the day, I'll be tardy, TARDY!" Twilight stated panicked.
The group after hearing that, laughed at Twilight, she was starting to become mad.
"Sugercube, it seems like you are getting worked over nothin," Applejack said.
"It is not nothing, it's everything, I need to send a letter to the princess about a friendship by sundown, or my life in ponyville will be over!" Twilight stated a bit mad.
"Wow, you are a crack up," Pinky pie replied while laughing.
"Come on, Twilight, just sit down and stop sweatin about the small stuff," Applejack said.
Twilight walked off angry that none of her friends didn't think her problem was important, after taking a couple of steps, she teleported away.
"I have never seen Twilight that mad before, I hope she is ok," Fluttershy said worried for her friend.
"Well, she was acting like of complete drama queen, (The others looked at Rarity), relatively speaking," Rarity stated.
~~One Hour Later~~
"The clock is ticking, keep it together Twilight... If I can't find a friendship problem, I'll make a friendship problem," Twilight said with a creepy smile.
"Itachi do you ever get the feeling something bad is going to happen?" Spike asked.
"I do sometimes, and why are you sitting on my back again?" Itachi questioned a bit annoyed.
"Well, I'm not as fast as ponies," Spike answered with a sheepish smile.
"(Sigh), Fine, wait, I see Twilight, and, the look she has is not good," Itachi pointed out.
"Realy, how bad is it?" Spike asked worriedly.
"Spike, how do you send letters to the Princess?" Itachi replied.
"Is it that bad?" Spike questioned even more worried.
"Yes," Itachi answered.
"We need to get to the library soon!" Spike said in a panic.
"Alright, hold on tight," Itachi stated.
Spike held on to Itachi bracing himself for the running that was about to happen, but, he was not ready for the speed Itachi used the whole world looked like a blue of pure colors. And in seconds they were in front of the treehouse.
"I, think, I left my lunch back two blocks," Spike said in a frazzled state.
He shook himself out of the lightheadedness he was in and ran into the tree after righting a letter, he came back out.
"Alright, I sent the letter, all we need to do is find Twilight," Spike said.
Itachi picked Spike up and put him on his back.
"Do we need to do that?" Spike asked worriedly.
"It is the only way we will find Twilight in time," Itachi answered.
"Ok, I'm ready-" Spike was cut off as Itachi, body flickered to find Twilight.
Once finding Twilight both Itachi and Spike saw the whole town was fighting over a stuffed doll. When Itachi saw the doll, he felt a genjutsu try to take over his mind, trying to make him want the doll, he used the release genjutsu on himself to break the spell. He saw that Spike was not so lucky though, before the small dragon could run after the doll, Itachi grabbed him in his magic, and he placed his hoof on Spike's back.
"Release!" Itachi said out loud.
His eyes that had turned into harts turned back to normal.
"Did you break the spell on me?" Spike asked in wonder.
"Yes, I broke you out of the genjutsu you were under," Itachi answered.
"What's that?" Spike asked confused.
"It is a form of mind magic," Itachi answered.
Behind them, the main six ran over.
"Twilight there you are!" Spike said as he ran to give the unicorn a hug.
"Spike whatever you do, you can't look at smartiepants!" Twilight said in a panic.
"Uh, I did," Spike said out of embarrassment.
"Uh, how are ya not under the control of the spell?" Applejack asked confused.
"Itachi helped me by breaking the spell... On me," Spike answered.
The six, (Especially Twilight), to hear that Itachi did that, they looked over in his direction.
"Can you do that for the town before the sun sets?" Twilight begged.
"I have never done A whole town before, I don't think I can," Itachi replied a bit nervous.
At that moment the sun had set, and Twilight was speechless, she ran out of time, the problem she made is too far out of control she failed.
"TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"
An orb of white light and Princess Celestia appeared, and with a wave of her magic, the spell that had everypony in its grasp was broken. The ponies of Ponyville looked at each other, then looked at the doll they all fought so hard for, some were blushing out of embarrassment. And they all walked away as if there was never a town-size brawl. Big mac, seeing his chance took the doll for himself and ran to his home with his prize.
"Well, I guess it wasn't a complete loss... For him," Itachi thought to himself.
"Meet me in the library," Celestia ordered.
She soon flew off to wait for her student at the treehouse.
"Well, if you want to visit, I'll be in magic kindergarten, back at Canterlot," Twilight said walking away saddened.
"Magic kindergarten?" Fluttershy asked nopony.
"Canterlot?" Rainbow dash added.
"We will never see Twilight ever again!" Pinky pie shouted in shock.
The five turned to Itachi and Spike.
"Did you know about this?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes, I and Spike were trying to assure Twilight that everything was going to be fine," Itachi answered.
Rainbow dash flew up to Itachi's face and said angered, "Well, why didn't you try to stop her?"
The rest of her friends (Except Fluttershy) gave mad looks at the unicorn.
Itachi didn't get mad, he didn't change the look on his face, he dragged Rainbow dash back from his face.
"And why didn't any of you five acted like real friends? You five are supposed to be her friends, and yet, you blew her problems off as unimportant, I thought you were the elements of harmony. A friend of mine said those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum, (Sigh), if you are real friends with Twilight. Go and try to convince Princess Celestia into letting Twilight stay," Itachi said.
The five were looking at the ground taking in everything Itachi said, Twilight and Itachi had only known each other for days. Yet he did more to help Twilight than they did, and they knew Twilight for close to a year. His words might have been harsh, but, they were words of truth, they needed to help Twilight at that moment.
"Your right, we need to be there for Twilight," Rainbow dash said with determination to help her friend.
The group ran back to the Golden Oaks Library to try and help Twilight out of the mess she was in.
GOLDEN OAKS LIBRARY, MAIN FLOOR.
"But Princess, I was supposed to send you a letter every week, I missed the deadline, I failed, I'm tardy, I am a bad student," Twilight said saddened.
"Oh, Twilight you will never be a bad student, I don't need a letter every week to know that, you are a great student. You may have slipped up, but, you are only one pony, you are not perfect," Celestia said with a calm voice.
When the group got to the door, they ran through, Itachi walked to the side so he was not in the way of the five.
"Wait, please don't punish Twilight," Rainbow dash said.
"Yeah, it isn't her fault," Applejack added.
"Alright, I'm listening," Celestia said interested.
"Please Princess, we all knew that Twilight was upset."
"But, what she was worried about, we thought wasn't we should have worried about."
"When she ran off all worked up, none of us tried to follow and help."
"We are Twilight's good friends, we should have been more understanding and we should have helped her."
"Please don't send her away for our mistakes."
"Please don't send Twilight to magic kindergarten!"
"Well, it seems you all have learned a good lesson today," Celestia said happily.
The six agreed.
"Ok, I will forget Twilight's punishment, only on one condition. I would like you all to write to me on the discoveries of the magic of friendship, and only when it happens, not on a timed schedule," Celestia said.
The six cheered in joy, Twilight noticed that Celestia was headed for the balcony of the Library.
"Wait, Princess Celestia, how did you know I was in trouble?" Twilight asked confused.
"You can thank Spike and Itachi for that, they both care for your well-being," Celestia answered.
Twilight smiled that the two would do that to help her.
"I would like to speak with this Itachi, can you please bring him out?" Celestia asked.
"Oh, yeah, just give me a minute," Twilight said as she walked to get the unicorn.
After a minute Itachi walked onto the balcony, and Celestia closed the door to give them some privacy.
"I would like to thank you," Celestia said.
"For what Princess Celestia?" Itachi asked confused.
"Well, I know you only knew Twilight for a couple of days and you went out of your way to help her. You reminded the elements of what it means to be friends and to never abandon them. And you treated my sister as a pony and not a monster. That is what I am thanking you for," Celestia stated.
"Well, I guess, you are right there," Itachi said.
"I know you are not from this world, I am wondering, why are you here?" Celestia asked.
"Well, I guess nothing get's by you," Itachi stated.
"You do gather tricks of your own when you are my age," Celestia said with a laugh.
"I didn't come here of my own choice, I don't know what it is, but, I was brought here to stop something. What that something is, I don't know," Itachi said.
"So, evil is poking its head, and somepony thought it was so bad, they sent you to help," Celestia pointed out.
"I guess that is right," Itachi agreed.
"Tell me, are the stars the same here as in your homeworld?" Celestia asked.
"Yes and no, my world's sky had stars, but, this night sky is more beautiful. I don't mean any offense, but, I always found the night to be more lively, with so many stars, and how it looks like a painting, it's a shame we sleep through such beauty," Itachi said with a smile.
Celestia gave a small laugh at that and said, "No offense is taken, it's nice to see a pony love my sister's work if ponies in the past were like that. Things would not be the way they were."
"That is in the past, the best thing we can do now is to learn from that, and grow so we don't make the same mistakes," Itachi stated.
"(Heh), You have good wisdom for a pony your age, well I need to go, I'm expecting mail. Before I go, I would like it if you could send me some friendship report letters as well," Celestia said with a smile.
In a flash she disappeared, Itachi walked back into the library, and as Spike was finishing the letter they all worked on, Spike sent it off in a magic flame. The rest of the ponies went home to sleep.
"So, what did you and the Princess speak about?" Twilight asked interested.
"It seems she wants me to send letters as well," Itachi answered.
"Wow, I didn't think she would ask that of you, what do you think of it?" Twilight asked.
"I don't see it as a bad thing, it just makes my time here a bit more interesting," Itachi answered.
"Well I don't know about you, but, (Yawn), this dragon is tired," Spike stated.
"Yes, it is late we should hit the hay," Twilight agreed.
The three went to their rooms to sleep, Itachi was thinking again about what he needed to do here, it was the one question he could not answer at that moment.
"Well, I'll try to make the best of this," Itachi said to no one.
