“Bag, check, books, check, scroll and quill, check, I should be all ready to go!” I said in a very happy voice as I placed my books, scrolls, and quills into my school bag. Just as I was all ready to go, my mother came into my room.
“Looks like some ponies ready for her first day of school already.” Mom said as she stood in the doorway, letting out a little chuckle.
“Yeah, I might be just a little bit ready,” I said in a slightly shy voice. “But you know that I’m not exactly a pony, right Mom?” I said as my mother looked a little…sad.
“Oh, sorry, It’s just a little more natural to me, besides, you already have the features and the heart of a pony Rosie.” Mom said.
“Yeah, yeah,” I said as I put my last few essentials into my bag and just like that, I was all ready for school.
“Do you need me or Dad to walk, or teleport you to school?” Mom asked as I chuckled a little.
“Mom, the school is just beyond Aunt Twilight’s old castle, I think I can go that distance by myself,” I said in a reassuring tone.
“I know, it’s…not every day my little girl gets so independent. It feels like yesterday I was singing you bedtime lullabies so you could sleep at night and now you're walking to school all on your own. It’s quite an adjustment” Mom said in her quiet voice.
“Oh, you're going to make me blush. Besides Mom, I’ll be fine, you know the critters need your care, especially with the new litter of bunnies,” I said.
“Well you are right, but before you head off to school, we need to take another family portrait.” Mom said as I rolled my eyes.
“Again? What is it, every new school year?” I asked in a slightly annoyed voice as my father then appeared in my room.
“Well, your mother likes to take them, Rosie. Unless you want her to give you the stare…” My dad said as I reluctantly agreed. It may be funny to see her use the stare on the animals but it wasn’t fun to be on the other end of it I can say. Dad then used his chaos magic to make a camera appear as we took a few family pictures.
“Have a good day at school Rosie!” My parents said as Dad used his magic and made a tissue appear and blew his nose loudly. I double-checked my bag and just like that, I was off on my own to my second home, the School Of Friendship.
Oh, Hi there. I can’t believe I almost forgot to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Rosie, daughter of Fluttershy, the kindest pony I know and one of the elements of harmony and Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony. It’s kinda funny how they ended up together now that I think about it. Just like my mother, I love to take care of animals, mostly at her animal sanctuary on the weekends, and just like my father, I love making and causing pure chaos anytime I can, like pulling pranks on anypony or something like that.
I’ve gotten in trouble for it so I don’t pull pranks that often. Something else that I've picked up is a little talent for singing, mostly because it’s how I got my cutie mark so long ago and because…I just feel…me whenever I’m singing. I occasionally sing but I mostly keep it behind closed doors because…it might be obvious but I’m not exactly a pony of the spotlight…or a hybrid of the spotlight. I..I don’t want to go into that rabbit hole right now, I’m not exactly…ready to talk about it with you or anypony just yet.
It’s too embarrassing for me. I’m just lucky I was born during a time when other creatures besides ponies roam Equestria. Speaking of, I finally get to reunite with my best friends since we’ve all been busy over the summer. I don’t know about you but the best part about school is your friends for me that is. The schoolwork can be somewhat enjoyable but my friends are the best part of any school day. I wish I could speak a little longer about myself but that’s all I have for now so I’ll continue the story as to where we left off.
After a fairly short walk, I arrived at the School Of Friendship just a few minutes before the first bell. It’s quite surprising that my mother and my aunts worked here so long ago and just how much it’s stayed the same over the years. I then opened the doors to the school and found it was just as packed as the previous year.
“Some things don’t change.” I thought to myself as I trotted through the packed hallways until I saw some very familiar faces.
“Ponies, Rosie’s here! SHE’S HERE!” One of my friends by the name of Strawberry Swirl exclaimed as she started to jump up and down.
“Girls!” I said as I rushed to my friends.
“Hurtful.” Another one of my friends whose name was Comet Star said in his lower voice.
“I’ve missed you all so much!” I said as we all came for a group hug.
“We’ll we’ve missed you as well Daring,” Sapphire said in a cheerful voice as we disbanded from the hug.
“So, how was your summer girls?” I asked.
“Busy, being a student of Twilight is harder than you would imagine.” Another one of my friends, Luster Dawn, said,
“Well, I’m just happy that she sent you to Ponyville! Now you can go to school here!” I said in a very happy voice.
“I bet being a student wasn’t as bad as Wonderbolt camp. I still have cramps in my wings.” The last of our friends in our friend group by the name of Zap Apple said.
“Being the daughter of a world-class fashion designer has been rather helpful with learning a few tricks with sowing,” Sapphire said.
“OHH, working with my mom has been WONDERFUL! Who knew that I and her worked so well when there’s, flour, tasty frosting, and cupcakes involved?” Strawberry exclaimed very fast and very loudly.
"Pastel and I have been learning how to play the guitar and it’s been rather enjoyable. I’m currently at the top of my after-school class not to brag.” Comet said.
“Speaking of daring, what did you do over the summer?” Sapphire asked as I froze.
“Uh…I…just…helping out my Mom at the animal sanctuary,” I said. “Speaking of, is your brother still at Twilight’s school?” I asked Luster, thinking of something to shift the conversation over.
“For a while. I never knew how much better it is being an only child.” Luster responded as in a few seconds, every creature started to walk toward the front of the entrance where another pony who I recognized was approaching the podium.
“Welcome every creature to the first day of the new school year!” The pony said who I recognized to be, you guessed it, my other aunt, Starlight Glimmer, and Luster’s mom.
“I’m head mare Starlight and before you head off to your first class, I would like to introduce some new changes to this year, starting with new teachers for cooking and sewing,” Starlight said as she explained some of the new changes for the year.
There was nothing too noteworthy outside of a few new teachers, Fridays being a little shorter and things like that…until something happened. I’ve tried to understand how it happened for so long, I would replay this moment over and over again, trying to understand what I did to make this happen, but all that I and my parents have figured out was that I started to feel a little…off like there was a swelling in my head. I thought I was just feeling a little light-headed from standing for so long since we were right next to each other or something. I placed my right hoof, or paw I think on my head, not knowing what that would trigger.
“Last announcement, all tests this year are going to have a higher point evaluation, it might be a little chaotic for a while but it should even out” Starlight was explaining when it happened.
Just then, Starlight felt a drop on her head.
“Who did that?” Starlight said as she looked around the room, and then looked up. Within seconds, chocolate rain then began to pour from the ceiling, completely covering her as every creature started to back away.
“What…how is that here?” Starlight exclaimed as she used her horn and zapped the cloud, causing it to disappear.
“What…what was that?” Starlight asked as she looked around the room.
I’m still fuzzy on this part but from what I can tell, I placed my right hoof back on the floor, and another chocolate rain cloud then appeared and I’m guessing that took it out of me as in a few seconds, I was passed out on the floor as I could only hear my name for a few seconds, then I was out cold after that.
