The next day Turquoise arrived at school and what she saw was Raven wearing an orange prison jumpsuit with a paint roller under supervision by a police officer with blue hair.

“My wife wants to see that smut completely gone, and once you finish that you have a date with a highway and several other inmates, “The officer shouted as Raven got to work painting over the porn piece she painted.

“That must be Principal Cadence’s husband,” Turquoise said.

“He is,” Joycon said. “That is Sergeant Shining Armor of the Equine County Police Department.

“That answers one question but my next one is why is Raven here?” Turquoise asked.

“I’m guessing you missed the trial, “Joycon said before continuing. “The judge sentenced Raven to five years in prison along with 100 hours of community service starting with painting over every inch of graffiti outside the school which luckily for her is just that porn piece she painted.

“That’s all?” Turquoise said.

“Well yeah, none of us are stupid enough to do what she did so Crystal Prep is basically a blank canvas,” Joycon said. Suddenly Raven noticed them and was not happy.

“You, you're going to pay for what you did to me, “Raven said, getting ready to strike only for Shining Armor to taser her.

“Get back to work, unless you want me to convince the judge to double your sentence, “Shining said, which really scared Raven into getting back to work. Turquoise found this quite amusing but continued on her way since she had class to get to. The other students were not mean to her this time at least most of them were. The majority on the other hand which included 85% of the senior class of 2023 were still going to give her a hard time. Two such students were Suri Polomare and Upper Crust.

“Ok freak, listen up, Just because the principal wants the school to treat you with respect does not mean we are automatically going to do so,” Suri said.

“I’m not expecting you to, I know I can’t force people to change and Principal Cadence knows that as well,” Turquoise said.

“Whatever, just stay away from us because we want to leave and actually make it to college,” Upper Crust said.

“You already wrecked two lives, we won't let you make it four,” Suri said. Turquoise was already feeling hurt by that remark. Luckily Haruka was there to comfort her.

“Turquoise wrecked nobody’s life, if anything the blame lies with the victims, “Haruka said.

“All because this harlot refused to stay in his lane and disrespected our sanctum by dressing like that,” Suri said not wanting to lose this argument.

“You two have no respect for trans people do you?” Haruka said.

“No we don’t and why should we care about hurting their feelings, “Upper crust said before someone spoke behind them.

“Because if you don’t there will be two empty desks waiting for you two in detention,” one of the teachers said in an intimidating tone.

“Mr. Drake? What a surprise,” Suri said, feeling quite afraid.

“We were just,” Upper crust tried to say before being interrupted by Mr. Drake.

“Oh save it you two, I know about your constant bullying and harassment of people like Turquoise,” Mr. Drake said, cutting them off from using their manipulation tactics on him.

“Why are you defending this freak after he ruined the lives of two students now?” Upper crust asked.

“Because A, Those two students ruined their own lives not Turquoise, And B, I believe in our principal’s mission and want to make it a reality, I believe Crystal Prep has seen enough hatred for one lifetime,” Mr. Drake said.

“I swear ever since Principal Cinch was fired all the teachers and faculty have completely lost their minds, “Suri said.

“FYI you don’t have to keep coming here, I have no qualms with recommending the two of you be expelled, In fact that’s exactly what I will do if you ever speak that way to Turquoise or any other student like her again,” Mr. Drake said. The look in his eyes told them he was being dead serious and that this was no empty threat but a promise.

“Fine, we are leaving, Upper crust lets go, “Suri said with Upper crust following her. Mr. Drake apologized for them and assured Turquoise they will get their comeuppance someday. She and Haruka took their seats and class started. Things were going smoothly now that some of the other students were being respectful towards Turquoise.

Meanwhile, Suri and Upper crust, they were on their way to class infuriated with how the school has changed.

“I can’t believe this, ever since Cadence took over all the teachers have gone nuts with all this nonsense about respect towards freaks like Silver,” Suri said.

“I know, but what can we do against the teachers?” Upper crust asked.

“And even if we take matters into our own hands, that old salamander Mr.Drake will have us expelled, “Suri said, taking into account the sudden expulsions that occurred ever since Turquoise got here.

“Guess we can’t get rid of him, and unless Cadence and all the teachers who side with her are gone we can’t touch Silver, “Upper crust said as the two reached their class. The day went on and soon Lunch time came and turquoise and her friends were talking among themselves.

“So Turquoise, how is your home life holding up?” Indigo asked.

“Better now that dad is back and willing to accept me,” Turquoise said.

“On that note have you considered taking the plunge into being a real girl yet?” Lemon asked.

“I do enjoy being Turquoise a lot and maybe if I do, everyone will stop hating me,” Turquoise said.

“Slow down Turquoise,” Haruka said before continuing. “You shouldn’t rush into this kind of decision just to win everyone’s approval and love, You should only agree to it if it’s what you truly want.

“I would suggest listening to Haruka because once the process begins you cannot stop or turn back,” Fleur said.

“Plus you will need your parent’s consent since you're only 16,” Lemon said.

“I will discuss it with them when I get home,” Turquoise said.

“We suggest you do, it’s not that we don’t want you officially joining our sisterhood, we just want to make sure this is truly what you want,” Sunny said.

“Let’s put a pin in it for now and talk about something else,” Fleur said. Soon lunch ended and it was back to class. As for suri and Upper crust, they were plotting something in what looked like an old lab.

“I can’t believe this is still here,” Upper Crust said.

“I know and I also can't believe either Cinch or Cadence had the foresight to not install cameras in here,” Suri said. The lab in question was Twilight's old lab at Crystal Prep. While all of Twilight's science equipment was moved out of it, the chalkboards with her equations and the school computer inside were still there.

“So tell me again why we are inside this broom closet?” Upper crust asked.

“It’s the only place we can scheme without any of the teachers and faculty hearing us since that science geek Twilight soundproofed this room,” Suri said before getting to the planning part. “ Ok we know we can’t physically or verbally attack Turquoise since most likely all the teachers and faculty are under cadence’s spell.

“And we can’t do anything drastic like commit a felony like Raven did,” Upper Crust pointed out.

“There must be a way to get to him without anyone knowing,” Suri said. She decided to try rummaging through the desk to see if twilight left anything useful behind and as she looked she threw what looked like an odd disk-like device behind her and when it made contact with the wall it activated and unleashed a silent alarm.

Meanwhile at Canterlot High Twilight and her friends were having lunch when suddenly Twilight heard her phone’s notification ring and checked it.

“Intruder alert in the lab? What does that mean?” Rainbow asked. After pressing it a video screen opened up and revealed Suri and Upper Crust inside Twilight's old lab.

“Looks like a couple of the students at Crystal Prep found my old lab,” Twilight said.

“Wait, I recognize her, That’s Suri Polomare, “Rarity said. They also saw them writing stuff on Twilight’s old chalkboard that they erased. The words revenge on Turquoise were written on it.

“How exactly are we seeing this?” Applejack asked.

“My silent Alarm disk must have activated, “Twilight said.

“Silent Alarm Disk?” Rainbow asked.

“You see, I was very cautious of leaving my lab vulnerable to students who would want to use my resources to cheat so I invented an alarm system that would send a notification to my phone and activate a hidden camera upon touching the message. Unfortunately it did not work so I left it and some of my other failed inventions at crystal prep thinking they would be of no use since they did not work, “Twilight said.

“Then why is this one working?” Sunset asked.

“My guess is that when it hit the wall it must have corrected something inside,” Twilight said.

“Well we must do something before these two hurt Turquoise,” Sunset said.

“Rarity, do you have Turquoise’s number?” Twilight asked.

“Sapphy sent it to me when she joined my club,” Rarity said.

“Any reason you have that information?” Applejack asked.

“All members of the Jewelry Box share their numbers for our group chat,” Rarity said.

“Then call Turquoise so we can warn her,” Twilight said. She dialed the number but unfortunately she did not answer most likely because she had her phone turned off or on silent mode.

“She is not answering,” Rarity said.

“Darn it, she must be in class, “Twilight said. Suddenly Twilight had another idea. “Good thing Cadence is my in law otherwise I would not have her number. Twilight dialed the number and waited.

Meanwhile in Cadence's office she was going over some paperwork when her personal smartphone rang. She saw the caller ID was Twilight she answered.

“Hello Twilight,” Cadence said.

“Cadence you need to check my old lab, two students have broken in and are plotting something,” Twilight said urgently.

“How do you know this?” Cadence asked.

“I will explain later, please hurry,” Twilight said. Cadence dropped what she was doing and rushed over to the old lab. As soon as she opened the door she saw Suri and Upper Crust inside along with one of the chalkboards with various plans to hurt Turquoise.

“Principal Cadence? What are you doing here?” Suri asked.

“This room is off limits, what are you two doing in here?” cadence asked.

“We were just,” Upper crust was about to say until Twilight spoke.

“Erasing Ivankov’s conundrum from one of my chalkboards and replacing it with revenge plans on one of my friends,” Twilight said through the phone.

“How did you know all of that? Are you in the hall right now?” Suri asked.

“Look behind you, gormless, “Twilight said, which caused Suri to look at the device she carelessly tossed. “That’s right it's a silent alarm I invented and it alerted me to you two intruding in my old lab and is showing me everything.

“How can that be?” Upper crust asked.

“It also has a built-in camera that is set to activate upon pushing the notification on my phone,” Twilight said.

“I think I've seen enough, You two, to my office, now,” Cadence said. She personally escorted the two out of Twilight’s old lab after deactivating the alarm disk. Some of the students in the hall witnessed what was going on and a few saw the chalkboard in the old lab.

“Do you think we should tell Turquoise about this?” One of them asked their friend.

“Nah, she has been through enough already, let’s let Principal Cadence handle it, “The friend said.

“We can’t hide this from her, what if someone stumbles across it?” The third student asked.

“What are you getting at?” The second student asked.

“Even if Suri and Upper Crust get expelled, someone else will go after her and each student will be more crafty or daring than the last. It just goes to show that we need to put an end to this hatred and soon,” The third student said.

“You’re right we need to put an end to this before she really gets hurt,” The first student said.

Meanwhile inside Cadence's office the atmosphere was very tense with Cadence looking at Suri and Upper Crust with contempt before speaking.

“Where to begin? First off, how did you girls find that room?” Cadence asked.

“You did not exactly hide it from plain sight, it was there,” Suri said.

“And I specifically wrote in the newly updated student planner that Twilight’s old lab was off limits,” Cadence said.

“Well with you and all the teachers and faculty you brainwashed constantly harassing us, what choice did we have?” Upper crust said.

“I did not brainwash anyone, Those teachers and faculty share my views and with me at the helm are now free to express them, and I also had the same hope for the students,” Cadence said.

“So what’s next? Are you going to expel us like you did Lance and Raven?” Suri asked, sensing where this conversation would lead.

“No, I’m not going to expel you two, at least not yet,” Cadence said.

“Then why are we even here?” Upper Crust asked.

“I am not expelling you two but I am suspending you two for two weeks, “Cadence said.

“You can’t be serious, two weeks just for being inside that dusty old broom closet?” Suri said.

“It’s not just about that, it’s also because you were plotting revenge on Turquoise for things that were not even her fault,” Cadence said.

“Well if Silver stayed out of our skirts maybe none of those expulsions would have happened in the first place,” Suri said which really annoyed Cadence since she was dealing with a couple of thick skulled brats.

“As much as I wish I could just expel or fire anyone who does not follow my vision for this school, I can't since that would make me no different than the monster that came before me,“ Cadence said, referring to Cinch.

“We want Cinch back; she was a better principal and more sane,” Upper Crust said.

“Oh and would you girls rather live in a musty old cardboard box in some alleyway like she does?” Cadence asked.

“You are lying, Cinch is not living that way,” Suri said in defiance.

“Wanna bet, she now lives in a musty old box on Blueblood Dr and gets all her meals from either a dumpster or a soup kitchen, does that sound like the kind of future you girls want?” Cadence asked.

“Stop lying to us, you are only saying those things because you are insane,” Suri said.

“If caring about others and wanting others to be respectful to each other is insane, then call the looney bin and lock me away,” Cadence said. Suddenly Suri and Upper crust’s parents came in and they were not happy.

“You girls are in so much trouble,” Suri’s dad said.

“We thought we raised you better than this, Upper Crust the 3rd,” Upper Crust’s mom said.

“You girls better savor these last few moments because you two will never meet again,” Upper crust’s dad said.

“Now hold on, I not expelling them, just suspending them,” Cadence said.

“We know but we are teaching these girls a permanent lesson by separating them for good,” Suri’s dad said.

“And how do you intend to do that? We both go to this school so we will be seeing each other again in two weeks,” Suri asked.

“No you won’t because in a few days we are moving and spoiler alert it's not going to be fun for you, because we are taking over your life, Upper Crust,” Upper crust’s mom said.

“Mom, dad, don't let this happen, “Suri pleaded.

“Sorry Suri but you two did this to yourselves so now it's time to face the consequences,” Suri’s dad said before Suri and her parents left while Upper Crust was told to wait outside the office while her parents got the paperwork for her removal from Crystal prep out of the way. Once the paperwork was done Upper Crust and her parents left so they could begin packing and selling or donating Upper Crust’s stuff. The rest of the day went on and after club activities concluded Turquoise went home to discuss something very important with her parents. She arrived home and luckily found her parents waiting for her.

“We been waiting for you Turquoise, We were doing some thinking and we have something important to ask you,” Ruby said.

“Same with me,” Turquoise said.

“Hear us out first,” Bullet said.

“Ok let’s hear it,” Turquoise said.

“I know this might sound like a lot to take in, but would you like to undergo hormone therapy to become a real girl?” Ruby asked which took Turquoise by surprise since she was thinking of asking them first.

“Of course, I would love to,” Turquoise said.

“Now hold on, before you agree to this, just know once you start there is no turning back or stopping and we don’t want to hear any complaints since we gave you this choice and you made it,” Bullet said.

“I know, my friends and I discussed it too, i was going to ask if i could do it, “Turquoise said.

“Well i hope you realize that means you're going to have to change back to boy mode for a while since we need to monitor the changes overtime,” Ruby said.

“Can I still wear my uniform and wig?” Turquoise asked.

“Yes, you can still wear the uniform and wig but your boobs will need to come off so we can monitor your real ones coming in,” Ruby said. The three of them hugged before Turquosie retreated to her room for the day.
