Magic School Nightmare

After a few days of recognizing nearly half of Canterlot and getting settled in, the day had come for Nathan. He had woken up and realized that today was the first day of class at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, this was going to be a new setting for him. Learning such lessons like how to clear your mind, how to let magic flow out, and all that stuff was a fresh environment for him, but he was now an alicorn, so he really did not have much to say in word about it. Anyway, he had just gotten out of bed in his new room Twilight had prepared for him to live in, he was cleaned up and ready for breakfast, a big royal breakfast to be precise. He walked towards the kitchen of the castle, where Spike and Twilight were waiting with a decent breakfast prepared.

"Mornin' Spike, mornin' Aunt Twi." he said with a smile on his face.

"Hey Nathan, we have breakfast ready." Twilight said.

"Better eat up, today is your first day of Magic School." Spike informed.

"Yeah, like Ah' never knew that." Nate said with a tone of sarcasm.

Twilight shook her head as she watched her little nephew sit in between her and Spike.

"Now eat up cowboy." Twilight said "You don't want to be learning magic on an empty stomach."

Nathan did as Twilight told him and ate his plate of breakfast, which was pancakes and milk. Twilight wanted to make this day special for him, because he was going to be learning something new from a different schooling perspective. Once Nate had finished his pancakes, he got on his saddle bag and headed out the door, but not without an escort with Twilight.

"Aunt Twilight, why are you comin'?" He asked.

"Because I want to make sure you are okay before I leave you there. And I certainly don't want you causing a ruckus like you did with Thunder Clash a few months ago."

"Come on, Ah' had to clobber him, he stole money from a colt."

"That still never justified you hurting him."

"Ah' don't care! Ah'm sick of everypony tellin' me violence ain't the answer."

"Nate, you need to control yourself now. Because this is a new school and a new setting for you, I just don't want you growing up to be a violent pony."

"Nate shook his head as Twilight escorted him out of the castle and towards Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Even though Twilight was now the new ruler of Equestria, she chose to keep the school's name the way it was. But it would be a whole new environment for her to watch her nephew not only turn into an alicorn, but also learning magic too. Anyway, as they were approaching the school, they were quickly surrounded by a bunch of other new unicorn fillies and colts accompanied by their parents.

Nathan felt his stomach drop, fearing what could await him here. But he felt a hoof touch him, and looked up to see Twilight smiling at him, he smiled back.

"Hey it's Princess Twilight and her nephew!" one filly stated, the entire crowd bowed to her.

"Thank you for the posture everypony, but I am just here to drop off my nephew. Now as your ruler, I suggest you all be very kind to him, and don't give him any trouble, he is tough."

"Yes Princess Twilight." they said, some were willing to listen, but a few were not.

"How do y'all know about me?" Nathan asked.

"Come on, only the coolest of a human turned pony would be so cool!" Said one unicorn filly.

"You were awesome, the way you took on Tirek and Cozy Glow. Nopony like you would have dared to face them!" Said another.

"All right you all, give him some air. He's just here for school like you all." Spike assured.

Before Nate joined in with the others, Twilight gave him a verbal notice. "Now Nathan, this is a special day, so I would appreciate it if you try your best to just ignore what others think or say. Just concentrate on your instuctor's topics, understand?"

"Yes, Aunt Twilight." Nathan said obeyingly, Twilight kissed him like a mother and she and Spike left. As he watched Twilight and Spike leave, he then turned and followed the new generation of filly and colt unicorns inside the school. Nate went into his saddle bag and pulled out a map of the school, and searched for his classroom, his room was 112. His instructor's name was Watermark, a former pupil of Starswirl the Bearded.

Nathan followed the small crowd towards the direction of his room, once he found his class, he went in and took his assigned seat. He was soon approached by a small group of unicorns who wanted to know about him.

"Hi Nathan, we saw you outside and wanted to know you." one of them said.

"Hi y'all, please to meet ya." he said with a smile.

"I'm Sunspot, this is Fire Bomb, and River Dawn."

"How did y'all know about me?" Nathan asked.

"We've seen how you took on Tirek and Cozy Glow, no colt would have ever dared to stand up to them." River Dawn said.

"Well, Ah' have strong faith in mah' friends. Not to mention how much Ah' look up to mah' aunt's teachings."

"You are such a cool colt." Sunspot said, their conversation was soon cut by the sight of their magic teacher entering the room. She was a tan colored unicorn, 50s in human-like age, her main and tail were darkish brown, and she wore glasses. Lastly, her cutie mark was a fainted picture design of a painting.

"Good morning class, I am Miss Watermark, your instructor for the junior phase of magic." She said, staring at the class as she wrote her name on the chalkboard with levitated chalk.

"Good morning Ms. Watermark!" The entire class said altogether, including Nathan.

"Now, before we start our first lessons for today, I do believe we have a new student joining us." Nate could tell Watermark was obviously referring to him.

"Nathan Cadenza, will you please come up and introduce yourself to the class?" she said, Nathan obeyed and walked on his hooves to the front of the class.

"Hello everypony, mah' names Nathan Cadenza, Ah'm Princess Twilight Sparkle's nephew. Perhaps y'all have heard about me before, Ah' stopped Tirek and Cozy Glow from takin' over Equestria, all thanks to mah' knowledge of friendship Ah' was taught."

"Oh yeah, we did hear about that." One unicorn filly said.

"What's that place you were from again? Tennis is it?" Another asked.

"Texas." Nate corrected, "It's actually mah' cutie mark here." He pointed his hoof to his Texas shape flag cutie mark.

Meanwhile, as Nate introduced himself, one unicorn wasn't having it. He was willing to challenge Nate to the toughness level.
