Magic School Nightmare

Nathan now found himself back inside the castle, nervously sitting on a chair in the main dining room. The only other pony in the room was none other than Twilight, and all she was doing was pacing the same area. Back and forth, on and on, nothing changing for Nate as he watched nervously at his angry aunt. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of pacing and a blank cold stare, Twilight turned her attention to him.

As Nate sat in the chair, shaking nervously, Twilight got in his face.

"Now Nathan, this is the third time in the last year in a half you've resorted to violence!"

Nathan nodded "Yes, Aunt Twilight, Ah' know but...."

"**NATHAN**" Twilight yelled, "I will not have anymore of this "tough" non-sense. You should know by now that the pony principles are to solve problems with words, not violence!"

"Ya' don't understand Ah'...." Once again Nate was cut off!

"No more excuses my young nephew! This is the last time you will ever resort to violence, I don't care how much you get bullied or teased. I will no longer have you fighting or threatening, you will solve problems with nothing but words or friendship, am I clear on this Nate?!"

"Aunt Twilight, Ah'....."

Twilight glared with a look so fierce, and got into his face "I said, do I make myself clear!?!"

For the next few minutes or so, Nathan could do nothing but give his aunt the silent treatment. Twilight on the other hand was about to really blow a gasket when something clicked in Nate's head, something just......SNAPPED! He finally stood up and glared with a menacing look!

"NO, AH' WILL NOT HAVE ANYMORE OF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP CRUD RUINING WHAT AH' BELIEVE IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He screamed at her so loudly, it shook nearly half of Canterlot like an earthquake! Twilight and Spike now stood there in utter shock and terror. They had seen him get angry dozens of times, but they had never seen him snap this way before, it was pratically the Royal Canterlot Voice: Texas style!

"Y'all were there for me when Ah' brought down Diamond Tiara from bullyin' Apple Bloom. But not when Ah' defended Zodiac from Thunder Clash, and now yer' scoldin' me for defendin' mahself from Meat Grinder's antics!?!"

"Yes, you did defend them, but when you fought Thunder Clash you unleashed a riot." Spike replied.

"And now you badly injured Meat Grinder." said Twilight.

"Ah'm tired of y'all tryin' to turn me into somethin' Ah' ain't!"

Twilight was not so sure, "What, nopony wants to change you."

Nathan was not having it, "Oh, but y'all want everything to end in friendship and harmony!"

Spike answered "Yes, it's because violence only causes pain and suffering."

"Ah'm not causin' anything!" Nate said in a defensive tone "Ah'm defending mahself from threatenin' momentums!"

Twilight still was not budging "Well, that does not matter young mare. Because I got this letter from you stating that you've gotten detention on your first full week of school!"

"For defendin' mahself?!" Nate asked confused, yet shocked.

"No, for fighting on school property!" Twilight answered.

Nathan could not take it anymore! "THAT'S IT! AH'VE HAD IT WITH BEING SOMETHIN' AH' AIN'T! AH'M GOIN' BACK TO THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!!!!"

Spike and Twilight went from angered to shocked, "What?!"

It seemed like poor Nathan could not be tough anymore, every time he tried to defend himself he was always scolded. Yet, he was only praised one time for defending Apple Bloom from Diamond Tiara. It was all crashing down on him like blocks, he was now fed up with being scolded for every chance he had of defending himself.

"Ah' know violence is wrong, but Ah'm gettin' fed up with being scolded and yelled at by everypony every time Ah' defend mahself."

"Nate, we are not scolding you." Twilight said, trying to reason, "We are just...."

Nathan interrupted, "Ah' won't have it, Ah'm goin' back to The Crystal Empire where Ah' belong!"

"No cowboy!" Spike said!

"You are not quitting and you are not leaving Canterlot!"

"Quitin' what?!" Nate exclaimed, "Ever since after the defeat of Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow I've been intesifying mah' strength for defense and for ponies like y'all."

"That was months ago, Tirek and Chrysalis are imprisoned in stone now." Spike said "But what you did is a totally different aspect!"

"Exactly." Twilight said. "You misused your magic, you nearly killed a colt!"

"Ah' don't care! Ah'm tired of being scolded for how to handle problems!" Nate exclaimed.

"Nathan, I am only doing what I believe is best for you." Twilight said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa ya' never said anything about doing what's best for me." he remarked, "Ya' only brought me here because Ah' had to learn magic and work mah' way to the advanced school for when Ah'm ready. If ya' want me to be a good magic user Aunt Twilight, if ya' want me to have it all for the best, then do what ya' have to do. But quit feeding me this line about friendship and harmony always bein' the way to solve problems, this is not about what is best for me at all! This is about you tryin' to turn me into somethin' Ah'm not!"

Twilight and Spike were in shock with what he had just told them.

"But, all I want is for you is to grow up and be a worthy unicorn." she stated.

"Ah' Am worthy, but Ah' have standards. And Ah' sure as heck ain't lettin' nopony walk all over me. Nor let somepony tell me how life goes."

With that, Nathan left the room. Twilight and Spike could not believe the tongue lashing they had just experienced. Sure Nathan had a temper, but they had never gotten such a response like that from him before. But what if he was right, what if friendship and harmony did not solve every single problem?

It was never like violence solved anything either.
