Change Isn't Easy
Too sober for this
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“I may have pushed her a bit hard,” Spitfire admitted and Twilight nodded in response. The unicorn had found herself with Spike and High Winds being asked to come into Spitfire’s office as the yellow pegasus sighed with a guilty expression. “In her defense, Wallflower did well. It’s been a couple days and she is already faster than she was when I first promised to help her. And she doesn’t think I’m scary anymore. I don’t like ponies being afraid of me. It’s a bad feeling.”
“Makes sense,” Spike answered and folded his arms against his chest. “Having ponies being afraid of you sucks. No offense, but you aren’t the only dragon in Equestria to be friendly. Everypony is scared of me. Well, except you all and a few others back in Canterlot.”
Twilight nuzzled Spike briefly and wrapped a foreleg around him as the other two watched on. High Winds secretly always wanted to be friends with a dragon but most dragons aren’t necessarily fond of ponies so she always figured it would never happen.
“No offense but you’re half my height,” Spitfire deadpanned with a raised eyebrow as she folded her forelegs on her desk. “And I know for a fact I’m faster than everypony in this town, on the ground and in the air.”
“Hmph,” Spike scoffed and High Winds giggled behind a hoof as Twilight hid a smile.
“I think you’re very adorable and intimidating Spike,” High Winds leaned over and rubbed his head spikes. “Though I think a certain somepony is after you.”
The three laughed while Spike blushed faintly with Twilight nuzzling the top of his head with a small smile. The door swung open and Spitfire straightened up as Misty Fly stood in the doorway.
“Misty. What’s up?” Spitfire asked as she slipped her sunglasses on.
“We kinda need you and High Winds outside to help break up a fight. It’s pretty crazy. Soarin and Blaze are trying to calm them down right now. They sent me to get you,” Misty answered as Spitfire and High Winds stood up instantly.
“My sister? Let’s go. I’m in the mood to raise hell,” Spitfire cracked her hooves with a grin.
Spitfire, High Winds, Misty and Twilight galloped outside as the shouting the four had started to hear in the hallway got louder.
Twilight had opted to leave Spike inside with Sunchaser and Wind Trail. It was admittedly Misty’s idea to not bring Spike along to a street fight. The only reason Twilight herself came with was magic is a pretty useful tool at getting ponies to pay attention.
Blaze and Soarin were standing next to the hotel across the street in between two stallions and a pegasus mare shouting at each other as Lightning Streak held onto a stallion around the waist.
“Break it up!” Spitfire shouted as she and High Winds started pulling the pegasus mare away as she tossed a punch at Spitfire.
“Watch out!” Soarin called out with a wince. “She’s been punching like a madmare this whole time.”
“You’re a scumbag. Do you know what a scum bag is?” The mare shouted as Twilight joined in pushing her back.
“I’m looking at one, you!” The unicorn stallion shouted and Spitfire grudgingly admitted that was almost funny.
The pegasus slammed her elbow into High Winds jaw and she stumbled to the ground with a stunned expression before the dark black pegasus swung at Twilight and Spitfire hastily stepped in front of the mare as the hoof slammed into her jaw and she grimaced before spitting out some blood.
Spitfire inhaled as she slammed a hoof over the other mare repeatedly after pushing Twilight back.
“Bitch,” Spitfire growled as she continued hitting the mare. “Don’t ever lay hooves on my friends again.”
“I think she gets it,” Twilight interjected hastily as her horn glowed and she pulled Spitfire from the mare as she laid groaning on the concrete. “What is even going on here?”
“Fighting over rent,” Blaze called out as she and Soarin held down a stallion as the two watched Lightning Streak and Misty help High Winds up. “Is she okay?”
“I’m good,” High Winds called back and groaned. “Head hurts.”
Spitfire held down the mare as Rapidfire and Icy Winds both came running as Rapidfire jumped over some railing on the stairs with some metal hoofcuffs in his muzzle and he tossed them to Soarin.
“Thanks,” Soarin muttered and started forcing them onto the stallion under him. “Blaze, grab his other leg.”
“I’m trying!” Blaze grunted as she slammed the foreleg down. “Stay still. We don’t wanna hurt you.”
“And this is why you don’t do crack,” Misty Fly muttered as she wiped some blood off of Spitfire. “You’re bleeding. That was a helluva hit you took.”
“I’m fine. Is High Winds, Soarin, Blaze and you okay?” Spitfire asked and gritted her teeth slightly as a Icy slid some cuffs on the mare under Spitfire.
“We’re good. Get the hell up,” Lightning Streak and Soarin both pulled up the stallion. “What’s your name, my guy?”
“Greystone,” he answered as Blaze sat down with a yawn. Blaze watched with a tired expression and Twilight sat down next to her.
“Did he hit you or Soarin at all?” Twilight questioned and Blaze shook her head.
“Nah. He was just screaming and yelling at the two. He never hit the other stallion either. He’s probably gonna get let go once he’s taken far away from here. Soarin usually cuts most ponies loose unless they really messed up. He’s good like that,” Blaze explained and she accepted a bottle of water the unicorn. “Thanks.”
“Anytime,” Twilight smiled as Spitfire and Soarin trotted over.
“You good?” Spitfire asked as she examined Blaze up and down. “No injuries? Tell me and I’ll fight which ever did it.”
“I’m good,” Blaze answered as Spitfire continued running her hooves over her sister before she was apparently satisfied and Spitfire nodded.
“Alright I don’t see anything. Let’s go get some drinks tonight. I could use some alcohol after this shit show,” Spitfire shook her head as some other Wonderbolts and a few royal guards joined them. “Take the mare and unicorn. Let the other guy go.”
“You got it. We got caught up in traffic on the other side of town,” on the guards adjusted his gold helmet. “Damn tourists don’t under what get out of the way means.”
“You’re all good,” Spitfire patted him on the back with a nod. “I’m too sober for this. It’s only one pm too.”
“I have to go catch up on my studies. And take it easy on Wallflower. She doesn’t really do your type of exercises everyday,” Twilight frowned as Spitfire rubbed her forelegs together.
“Yeah you got it.”
Silver Spoon sat with a bored expression in class, eyeing the clock impatiently. While she did occasionally like class because of her teacher Giddilee always finding ways to make class entertaining, she didn’t really care much for about how the Equestrian government works.
“This is wack,” Silver Spoons ear flicked as a colt with glasses named Specs whispered another colt in front of him.
“Specs!” Giddilee called out. She was a yellow unicorn mare with a saddle cutie mark. She was normally fairly strict on her students when the situation called for it. “Can you tell me what I just said please?”
“Uh no Miss Giddilee?” Specs pushed his classes up with a hoof as some classmates snickered.
“I see. See me after class and you can clean my classroom for not paying attention,” Giddilee frowned pointedly at the colt as the class laughed and Diamond Tiara snickered next to Silver Spoon.
“What an idiot,” Diamond Tiara shook her head and nudged Silver Spoon. “Right, Silver Spoon?”
“Uh yeah sure. Tots an idiot,” Silver Spoon forced a laugh along with a smile. She rested her head on her hoof, staring down at her book before scrunching up her muzzle. “What smells bad?”
“Probably Rag Top. He doesn’t shower,” Diamond Tiara laughed and shot the colt a glare. “Absolutely disgusting. How poor is he?”
“I don’t think it’s him,” Silver Spoon pointed out as she gestured with a hoof to smoke filling the room in from the window. “Uh Miss Giddilee?”
“I see it. Everypony out and at the front lawn!” Giddilee ordered as the unicorn set down her pointer stick. “We’ve done fire drills before, you all know what to do. Let’s go fillies and colts. When I find out who decided to place a smoke machine at the window as a prank to get out early you’re getting detention.”
Silver Spoon gave a sigh, coughing slightly as she and Diamond Tiara stood up, walking towards the door though the smoke.
A hoof wrapped itself around her body and muzzle as she kicked a few times and let out a muffled scream before being dragged out the window as Diamond Tiara paused, tensing slightly as she looked around.
“S-Silver Spoon?” Diamond Tiara called out nervously as her eyes flicked around the room as she strained to see through the thick smoke. “W-where are you?”
Diamond waited a few moments before groaning to herself.
“This isn’t funny Silver Spoon!” Diamond Tiara huffed and stomped a hoof on the floor. “I’m so gonna give that filly a piece of leaving without me when I get outside. Hmph!”
Diamond Tiara turned and felt for the door, missing the abandoned blue glasses a few feet away from her.
Author's Note
Fun fact, there's actually a canon comic teacher named Giddilee and is in the mobile game. Apparently teachers in Equestria with names ending in Lee is a tradition or some shit.
