Author's Note
AGAIN. This is my fiction. "Feng Yin" is just a name I uses in Bilibili. So just ignore the name, please.
Hope you enjoy it.
A Day in School of Friendship
Trixie doesn’t even dare to move now.
She held her breath, lowered her body, and looked at the small ball on the desk, like a cat discovering prey.
No pony knows when this ball appeared on her desk. At this moment, it sits silently there, completely white with a hint of fluorescence, like a piece of less translucent sheep fat jade. Trixie suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a note under the ball, which says——
“Meteorite, please witness.”
Meteorite? Although the great, erudite and powerful Trixie has known most of the things in the world, this is the first time she has heard of it. She picked up the round ball and carefully examined it, with only one thought in her mind - this ball looks too round. But it happened to have such a cool name, how could it be just a ball, and... It is glowing itself.
Marvelous, very marvelous. Trixie still carried this thing and muttered to herself:
“A small puzzle, right...? I have to solve it anyway.”
As a counselor of today’s Friendship School, Trixie is very popular with students. It’s not that her teaching level is really high, or that she only understands the specific issues of each student. She is very interesting, and with this alone, she can bring a lot of laughter to the mundane campus life.
She likes to take the students to the playground to demonstrate her great magic theory, but more often, Trixie likes to perform her own magic rather than talking about magic. For example, coming out of a lion’s mouth or conjuring up a rabbit from a hat. Generally speaking, as long as you flatter her a few words, she will perform non-stop for you. Another time, the great master Trix was in high spirits when she stole the friendship cannon sent by PINKIE. She wanted to use the cannon to perform a Mars-Earth collision, but Pinkie put at least 35 kilograms of syrup into the cannon. With a big bang, poor Trixie was so integrated with the syrup. Finally, the students spent the whole afternoon cleaning with shovels before finally extracting their beloved counselor from the syrup. Still, This matter is a big one, and it has spread to Twilight Sparkle’s ears. When Twilight Sparkle went to look for Starlight Glimmer to blame in bewilderment, poor Starlight Glimmer could only shrug her shoulders and helplessly said:
“What can I do? For Trixie, this is the smallest mistake she has ever made.”
This is Trixie, the pony who creates laughter for Friendship College. But now, she is walking in the hallway of the teaching building, looking at that fucking meteorite with a serious and worried expression, not caring about everything around her.
*Bang!* Trixie seemed to hit something that is very hard.
“Oh my!” She rubbed her head and looked up to see that it was actually Osiris - the little changling in the school.
“Sorry, Miss Trixie! Are you all right?”
“Don’t be joking!” Although her head was really painful, Trixie stood up like not-care-at-least and turned her head. “How could you hurt teacher Trixie? But you, did my sharp horn hurt you?”
Even Osiris was amused by her words. She raised her mouth and shook her head: “No, not at all, Miss Trixie.”
“That’s good.” Trixie nodded gravely, looked at the ball in her chest, and thought about it again.
Osiris also noticed the little thing in Trixie’s arms, which seemed to fascinate the teacher, so she couldn’t help coming up to Trixie and asked:
“Teacher, may I ask what this is?”
“This? Oh... This is... A meteor.” Hearing Osiris’s question, Trixie became nervous. She thought that her school was full of omniscient people, but she still had no idea about this thing.
“Meteor?” Osiris tilted her head.” Did it fall from outer space?”
“Well... You’re still young, you’ll know when you grow up.” Trixie smiled awkwardly, the sweat already covered her forehead.
“Uh... “Seeing that the teacher was even more anxious than herself, who was always shy, but also had a delicate mind, Osiris didn’t want to hide it. She didn’t hide it and said:“Actually, teacher, you don’t know what this is, do you?”
Trixie patted her forehead heavily and said awkwardly: “You know this when you’re still saying it?!”
“Although I don’t know exactly what this ball is or where it came from, this is Little Pony Country. Everything that doesn’t make sense must be related to magic to some extent, right? Perhaps you need a little horse proficient in magic to help you answer this question, teacher.”
How can this little girl talk so hurtful to herself? Trixie blushes, stubbornly turned her head and said:
“Are you kidding? How can there be a pony that is more proficient in magic than Trixie, who is omniscient, brave and powerful?”
“How about the headmaster Starlight Glimmer?”
“She went to Canterlot to find Twilight Sparkle and she won”t came back at night.”
“So... Vice Principal Sunburst?”
“Don’t mention that name to me!” Trixie said with an annoyance.
I don’t know why. Hearing the word “Sunburst”, Trixie can’t stand it at all. She felt that the flamboyant unicorn she wore all day had taken away her best friend, and every time she saw Sunburst, she wished she could feed him to her own lion.
“Okay, but anyway, teacher, you have to find a professional pony to help you solve the problem, right?”
Although Osiris’ words were hurtful, she was indeed right. Trixie thought about it carefully, and now she really has no way to solve the mystery of the meteorite, but there is a good saying that... “He is powerful when there are many people”, eh? Wo heads are better than one. Since she don’t have much clue, let’s call for the ponies to help.
In today’s free class, Trixie put the meteorite on the platform and solemnly said:
“My great disciples, who can solve the puzzle of the things on my desk? I won’t have to do homework for the next month.”
(Don’t believe her, she never gave students any homework that their creatures can complete.)
The students looked at it and thought, Wow, it’s quite rare - a glowing white ball. They started to discuss, but they had never seen this rare thing before. This group of students didn’t even have the ability to activate magic, and they didn’t come up with a reason in the end.
“Well, do no students have any ideas? Legendary artifacts, ancient family heirlooms, or the proof of the heavenly pony?” Trixie asked in frustration, but no one paid any attention to her.
A few minutes later, the entire classroom returned to a dead silence as if something important had been lost, and even the sound of insects flapping their wings could be heard clearly. When Trixie was looking lost and wanted to take back the meteorite, it was Yona, the little yak of the Friendship College, stood up.
She said with a serious expression:
“Teacher... At first, I didn’t want to say anything, but now, I feel like I have to tell a legend about the yaks in my hometown Yakzakistan...”
“Le...legend?” Trixie was ecstatic, so she took it seriously. “Please tell me!”
“Okay... A long, long time ago, it was said that when even the Equestria did not exist, there was an incredibly brave warrior on our side. His name... Um... His name... Seemed to be some kind of Beef jerky. The General of Beef jerky fought against various evil creatures all his life, and except for winning battles, he only had them. But his majestic posture was hated by too many enemies. In the end, a sinister griffin gave him a basket of apples under the guise of a gift -”
“Wait, wait, what’s wrong with Griffins, Yona ? “Galus was reluctant halfway through, “You are tolding a story, why did you even mention it to someone else??”
“I’m talking about something very important,don’t interrupt!” Yona glared at Galus, “In a word, there was an apple in the basket that looked exactly like the ball in front of us. It was a bomb! Unfortunately, when the general of beef jerky noticed the white magic bomb, it was too late. The bomb was just in his stomach within’ exploded... And ... The general’s belly was exploded with a big bang...”
“Well... Isn’t there too many sins in your story? First of all, we Griffins don’t know how to make magic bombs at all, and then no one will say that the heroes of their own people that ‘tripe has been blown up’. You want to -” Galus thought that the legend was too hard to say, but just he wanted to roast a word, Trixie screamed:
“Bomb?!” Trixie reflected slowly, which made her react. She looked at the ball on the platform, and an unprecedented fear came to her heart. Is this the concealed weapon sent by the pony assassin who has a problem with Trixie? She took a big gulp - there are too many innocent creatures in the classroom now, I must not let them be implicated! She activate the horn, grab the ball and throw it towards the playground outside the window. Before she could even look, she heard a few loud noises and countless white dust floating outside the window. Could it be that the bomb exploded?
Trixie looked out of the window in despair, but the situation outside the window was worse than she thought! The meteorite emitted a white shimmer like a cluster of stars. Could it be that... This bomb named ‘Meteorite’ has failed to ignite?
Thanks to Trixie’s classroom after classroom yelling, “Bombs are coming”, now, almost everyone in the Friendship School is far away from any building, leaving only Trixie a pony standing in the middle of the playground in full view of the public. In front of her is the meteor still shining white runes. She took a deep breath, knowing that “Let him who tied the bell on the tiger take it off”, and the pony that could solve the meteorite bomb had to be herself.
However, in the face of this terrible thing, even Trixie, who is invincible in the universe, is unavoidably afraid.
The sunset hit her face, blurring the world. At such a misty moment, Trixie’s eyes unexpectedly flashed the riding lantern of her life:
The two magic wars with Twilight Sparkle, the encounter with Starlight Glimmer, and the students’ little by little. Why did she suddenly feel sad? Trixie’s nose got sour, but then, she smiled and pretended to be very handsome, saying: “Hero, you won’t escape at the last minute. Let’s fight to the death, Meteor!!!”
With a cry , she staunched ,and kicked her hooves, ran towards the meteorite. The scene of hers carrying a bomb, teleporting to an unknown place, and then dying with this’ bomb ‘has already appeared in my mind. Even she felt some strange music playing in her ears.
“Goodbye, Starlight Glimmer...” She closed her eyes, completely unaware of the tears coming out of her eyes.
But before she ran a few steps, there was another thump. Trixie hit something strange again.
“Ouch!” She covered her head and groaned for a long time before opening her eyes, only to find that the pony appeared in front of her was Starlight Glimmer.
Starlight looked at the meteorite with disappointment on his face, muttering to herself:“Hmm... Are you just so unpopular?”
“Starlight Glimmer?! You finally come back - oh no, I mean - run!”
Starlight then noticed that Trixie was beside her. When she saw the girl, she smiled brightly:
“Trix, why did I see students and teachers crowded at the school gate as soon as I came back?”
“Don’t talk about that. Starlight Glimmer. Throw that thing away quickly. It’s a bomb!”
“What? Bomb?” Starlight Glimmer was dazed for a while, then looked at the meteor in his hoof and laughed:
Wait, do you think this thing is a bomb? AHahaha! My sweetheart, no wonder you threw it here! I thought you didn’t like it.” Starlight Glimmer laughed, looking Trixie in a teasing glint.
“Huh?” Now it’s Trixie’s turn to be confused. She stayed for a long time, and then slowly spit out a few words:
“W...wait...What? Did you throw this thing to me?”
“Or it will be what?? I took it from the research institute. I thought it would be a great gift, but it have surprised you. I’m sorry.” Starlight Glimmer seemed to have guessed the whole story. She smiled slightly embarrassed, rocked on the surface of the meteorite with her hoof, and saw the meteorite making another screeching sound on her hoof, and then countless silver magic runes floated up:
“I think it matches your office very well. Trixie, I hope you can play with this little toy when you have nothing to do, but it scared you -”
“Um... So, is this a gift?” Trixie whimpers.
“Yeah.” Starlight Glimmer smiled, sent the meteor to Trixie’s hoof, and then rub her head. “This is a gift specially prepared for you.”
“But wait... W-why did you give me a gift? Is it almost the Furnace Festival??”
Starlight Glimmer shook her head.
“Um... My birthday is coming up soon?”
“Don’t you know whether you have a birthday or not?” Starlight Glimmer continued to shake her head again.
“Or... My mom’s birthday is coming up soon?”
Starlight Glimmer smiled slyly and shook her head again.
“Or... Today is the anniversary of our acquaintance?”
“Don’t overthink it, there aren’t so many holidays for me to give you gifts. Today is not a special day, I just think this thing is very beautiful. As soon as I see this thing, it reminds me of you, that’s why I gave it to you - just because you are my best friend. Twilight Sparkle have said before, ‘To treat a friend, you should surprise her from time to time.’ So, I hope you can pay attention to the present and witness every day at the Friendship Academy. What do you think of this meaning?”
After hearing the words of Starlight Glimmer, Trixie just felt her nose sour, cried and threw herself on Starlight Glimmer and hugged her:
“Star, you guy... Why didn’t you tell me earlier... Aww... Really... It scared me to death...”
“Don’t cry, you same scared me to death like a child. As soon as I came back, I saw a group of students crowded at the school gate and asked me to come to the playground to check on your situation.” Starlight says,”I thought you were doing something wrong again... Well, it was quite big, but it was better than last time when you sent a snake to each student alone...”
“You guy, even if you didn’t tell me clearly, you should blame me. Pay me for the muffins!” Trixie raised her head angrily, dried the tears from her eyes and said stubbornly.
“Then... Let’s go together and buy some from Mrs. Cake?” Starlight asks her.
“Just go now!” Trixie shouted.
And then, Friendship School had another wonderful day.
