Like Father,Like Son

Ch. 6 I meet Ms. Cheerilee

A few weeks had passed and I had to get BlueBlood enrolled in school sooner or later. I was sitting in my truck with BlueBlood. “Ok BlueBlood, I have to get you enrolled in school.” I said, starting the truck

“Aww do I have to go I mean I was homeschooled back at the castle”

“Just for a short period of time. About 6 months to a year. Just to be safe.” I said

“That is still a long time”

“It will be worth it.” I said, and started driving to the school house.

“Fine but i wont like it” Blueblood said

We got to the school house just as a class was heading out for recess. “Ok, lets go talk to the teacher and see if we can get you in her morning class.” I said

“Hmm oh hello there my name is Cheerilee”

“I’m Steel Diamond. Nice to meet you Ms. Cheerilee.” I said

“And how might I help you Steel Diamond?” Asked Cheerilee

“I was wondering if I could enroll my son in your morning class.” I said

“Yes you may all foals are welcome”

“Thanks Cheerilee.” I said then turned to BlueBlood. “Looks like you’re enrolled.”

“Oh fun fun day” He grumbled

I rolled my eyes. “Would it be ok if I introduced him after your class comes in from recess?”

“I think it would be more then fine” Cheerilee said

“Alright then.” I said, and waited for her class to come inside from recess. After they came inside, I got ready to introduce BlueBlood to the class, after Cheerilee introduced me first.

As I was about to leave after introducing BlueBlood to the class, I heard Ms. Cheerilee snickering a bit. And i saw BlueBlood being lazy with his head on his desk. I walked outside and just sat under a tree. What I didn’t notice was how quickly class ended and BlueBlood was at my feet. “So, what was your first day like?” I asked as I stood up

“Huh good” BlueBlood said

“That’s good to hear.” I said as we got in the truck and headed home

A few months had passed and BlueBlood was doing well in school. One saturday morning though, I heard a knock at the door. “I wonder who that could be.” I said and opened the door to see Luna there. “Morning mom.” I said

I asked, “How have you been these past few months, Mom?” I asked

“I have been well and you?”

“Same here. BlueBlood is doing well in school.” I said

“He is a smart colt i guessed he would do well in it” Luna said

“I had a hunch he would do well also. Looks like we were right.” I said “So, anything I can do for you?”

“I was just coming for a visit may i come in?” Luna asked

“Of course!” I said and let her in

“Thank you and where is the young colt” Luna asked walking in

I whispered in her ear “He’s sleeping in.”

“Well let him sleep i brought some tea” Luna said levitating tea

“Thanks” I said and started to make the tea with some hot water

“And have you been meeting ponies? any that you like?”

“I’ve been meeting ponies. One I happen to like is Ms. Cheerilee.” I said as the water was warming

“Oh really now and tell me about her” Luna said with a trolluna face
I told her about the ponies I met and why I liked Cheerilee. As I finished explaining, the water was hot and ready for tea

“Well all of that sound very interesting i might say....how long is that colt going to sleep?” giggled Luna

“He stayed up late. WAY late.”

“Maybe set a reasonable bedtime for him”

“I will.” I said, then went to the bathroom to shave after finishing my tea. As I walked in, I noticed my hair was long and flowing, not to mention it was red with black streaks in it.

“Well i see your mane has grown”

“Yeah. Considerably.” I said “I remember only yesterday I gave myself a complete buzzcut and now its 4 feet long”

“I would not do that” Luna suggested

“Why not?” I said

“It will grow again”

“Ok then.” I said, and decided against shaving. “I need to get BlueBlood up. Its 11:30 am. Not even I sleep in this long.” I walked to BlueBlood’s room and walked in. “Son, my mom is here. Want to see her?” I asked hoping that would get him up

“Nnnnnnng let me sleep” BlueBlod complained not budging

“Come on son, she wants to see you.” I said

“Just five more minutes please”

“Ok, 5 more minutes.” I said then walked back down to Luna.

“Did he wake up?”

“I gave him 5 more minutes. If he’s not up by then I’m getting him up whether he likes it or not.” I said, sitting down

“He was always the lazy little colt” Giggled Luna

I smiled. “Well, he might be lazy, but he’s pretty cool. I‘m glad I was able to take him in as my son.” I said

“As am I”

10 minutes passed and Blueblood still wasn’t awake yet. “Ok, I am getting him out of bed.” I said and went to his room and got his ass out of bed. “come on son. time to get up.” I said

“Fiinnneeee”

I picked him up and walked downstairs to where Luna was. “here he is.” I said

“Good morning BlueBlood” Luna said in a cheery voice

I set BlueBlood down and made breakfast for the three of us

“What is this” He asked

“I made omelets.” I said, and plated one each for me, Blueblood and Luna

“It smells great” Luna stated

“Go ahead and dig in.” I said and started eating

“With pleasure”BlueBlood said digging in

I chuckled. “I hope you like it, mom.”

“It is well i must say”

I smiled and finished eating. I waited for BlueBlood and Luna to finish, so I decided to make some coffee since I wasn’t fully awake yet

“May i be excused” BlueBlood asked

“Yes.” I said as he walked away

“I taught him what my human dad taught me.” I said to Luna. “I figured it was for the best.”

“Well your father was a wise man” Luna said

“That he was, Mom. That he was” I said

“Now if you will excuse me i must head back to canterlot”

“Ok. Have a good trip.” I said

“I will” Luna said “ALLIONS-Y “

I watched as she disappeared in a cloud of black lightning.

Another 3 months passed and BlueBlood was doing extremely well in school and he was making lots of friends. I was heading to the schoolhouse where BlueBlood was waiting for me.

“Lets head home” BlueBlood stated as he galloped

“Ok. Get in the truck and I’ll meet you there.”

“Hello Mr.Steel” Cheerilee said

“Hi Cheerilee. How are ya?” I asked

“I am well but we need to talk”
