Bart and Scoots

Chapter Twenty One
Lesson Lisa

Over the course of a few hours, Lisa was introduced to a large amount of the towns citizens. Their roles varied, but they functioned identically to what she was familiar with, so she wouldn't have much trouble adjusting there, after it winded down, and everypony left. Lisa walked with Twilight back to the library to retire for the night.

During the party, Twilight had taken initiative to send Marge a letter about what Lisa had requested and that she will be spending the week in Ponyville, thinking that Marge would have the best judgement on Lisa's choices, Marge agreed to it since as Marge informed the purple unicorn, Lisa is perfectly capable of taking care of herself, and even babysat for kids that are in fact older than her and got paid to do it. The only person who ever gave her trouble was in fact her own brother, Lisa knew why he reacted that way, adding Maggie pepped-up on Coffee flavoured ice-cream into the mix didn't help much either, but she still tried and failed.

After getting back to the Library, Twilight gave Lisa moment to recover from the party.

"So, what do you think of Ponyville?" asks Twilight.
"Minus the party, it's nice. Rather tranquil, reminds me of Cypress Creek." replies Lisa
"Yeah. It was a change for me when I moved away from Canterlot." replies Twilight. "So, what are you going to do tomorrow while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are in school?"
"I spoke with their teacher at the party briefly, she allowed me to guest in her class for the week."
"That's cool I guess. In a related issue then, Princess Celestia has determined that it's safe to inform anypony you wish that you're from an alternate dimension."
"She has? How come?" asks Lisa.
"Well, the only pony who can open a portal to Springfield is me, she feels it's unlikely that anypony will be able to learn how to head to Springfield anytime soon. When I told her that when Sideshow Bob tried to claim about that we existed and Chief Wiggum thinking he was crazy she summised that everyone else would do the same."
"She's right." replies Lisa. "We don't have any intention on spreading the word about Equestria. Even if we did, no one would be able to find it anyway. Magic doesn't exist on Earth outside of sleight of hand tricks." says Lisa. "Only our next door neighbour, Ned Flanders knows anything outside of my family, and from what I understand is that your sun and moon operate differently from ours, so even the highest space technology that NASA has wouldn't be able to find you."
"That's good. Thank you Lisa." Twilight says, "it's getting late, so why don't we just go to sleep. I had Spike make the spare bed for you, I'll show you the way up."

Twilight guides Lisa to upper level of the library.

The following morning, Lisa was kinda exited to able to learn more about Equestrian Culture. It was a shame that she didn't know how to work magic as a unicorn, but she figured that she can just wing it. It would've been nice if she had her laptop with her, but to tell the truth she would probably end up breaking it when she tried to type, now that she has no fingers to type with, all she can do is try to memorise the information she's given.

En route to the school house with Twilight, the two unicorns ran into Applejack and Rarity each dropping their sisters off to school as well. The three mares bid farewell to the younger fillies, and return to their day. The three friends, plus their classmates shuffle into the classroom where a dark purple earth pony mare is seated behind a desk reading some lesson plans, Sweetie Belle pointed Lisa to a seat that would usually be occupied Scootaloo.

Looking up, the teacher addresses the class. "Good Morning, class."
Everypony but Lisa replies, "Good Morning, Miss Cheerilee."
Satisfied with the response, she continues. "I have an announcement, that we have a special guest joining us today. Lisa, would you come up here please."
Lisa replies, "Sure."
"This is Lisa. She's staying with Twilight Sparkle at the library while in Ponyville. Why don't you tell us about yourself?"
"Okay. Well... My name is Lisa Simpson. I wasn't originally going to tell you my full background, but I've been given permission to be able to do so by Princess Celestia so I will. I live in a town called Springfield in an alternate planet called 'Earth', there, things are much different. The dominant race are creatures known as 'humans' our species evolved from apes over a millions of years. From what I've seen so far, is that our cultures are very similar to each other. Personally, I like computers, reading and Jazz Music. I live with my parents, Homer and Marge, as well as with my brother, Bart and sister Maggie."
One of the foals raises their hoof to ask a question, "If you're from this alternate world, then how come you're here?"
"A few months ago, a classmate of yours, Scootaloo was teleported to our world accidentally, by one of her friends," Sweetie Belle knows that Lisa's referring to her, blushes bright red "she was found by my brother and we took her in. We have a Christmas play coming up..."
Another foal, with a puffy red mane and large blue glasses asks a different question, "What'th Chrithmath?" with a lisp.
Sweetie Belle answers on Lisa's behalf, "'Christmas' is Lisa's counterpart for our Hearth's Warming Eve."
Cheerilee has slight annoyed look on her face, but it dissolves after Lisa's reply. "Thank you Sweetie Belle, Christmas is a religious celebration across the world. It's tied to the Birth of Jesus Christ, who is considered to be the king of the Jews. Every year, our school puts on a Nativity Play for the town. Scootaloo and I got key roles in the play. I'm going to be playing Jesus's Mother, the Virgin Mary, while Scootaloo will be playing a Wiseman. It's not a big role for her, but it suits her fine. I'm here to ask Scootaloo's mother if she could participate as well as invite three other familiar ponies that Scootaloo is familiar with."
Cheerilee time time asks a question, "So this is why Scootaloo hasn't attended class in the past few months? She was with you in your world?"
"Yeah. Princess Celestia turned Scootaloo human so that she could attend school in Springfield Elementary, if she were a pony, she would've had to hide from everyone else, and remain in our house which would've been bad for her health."
"Okay. Thank you Lisa. I guess I'll modify my lesson plan slightly to make things easier for you as a guest to not only our class, but to Equestria itself."
"Okay."

Lisa takes her seat again.

Later out in the schoolyard, Lisa, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are sitting under a tree, eating when they are approached by two fillies. One is light pink with a purple and white mane, while the other is grey, with a mane of an even lighter shade featuring large blue glasses. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both take notice.

"What do you want, Diamond Tiara?" asks Apple Bloom.
"What do we want? We want Lisa to come hang out with us." she replies with disdain that she has to even approach the remaining Crusaders.
"I don't think she'd want to go with you two" Apple Bloom responds.
"She's perfectly capable of answering for herself, Blank Flank." the snobbish filly retorts
"Yeah!" chimes in Silver Spoon.

Lisa's ears raise.

"Okay, well, explain to me why I should hang out with you?" Lisa questions, obviously having already made up her mind.
"Isn't it obvious? Those two are Blank Flanks, they're totally not worth your time!" Diamond Tiara replies.
"Oh? And you are?"
"Like, totally." Silver Spoon says.
"Yeah, how about no." Lisa replies.
"WHAT!?" the pair shout in unison.
"I may be from a different world, but that doesn't make me naive. I know all about your kind, in fact, I've heard a lot about you two from Scootaloo long before I even came to Equestria to see you for myself. You think that just because you have 'earned' a cutie mark and I use the word 'earned' extremely loosely, that you have the right to bully those who don't. So, let me tell you something, I've taken on multimillionaires and their lackeys, by myself and won, I've taken on an entire town in a battle of wits at least twice and won those too, so to say that you two don't scare me in the slightest is an understatement. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle have been my friends since I came to Equestria, and they will be coming with me to Springfield to watch my performance with Scootaloo."
"WHAT?! THEY get to go to Springfield?! They're not special enough to go! WE should get to go!" shouts Diamond Tiara.
"Were you not listening? I said that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are going, I decided that long before I ever stepped foot in Ponyville..." Lisa states.
"...I'll get my daddy to..." Diamond Tiara stutters
"What, you'll get him to change my mind? I don't think so. The line-up is final, and endorsed by Princess Celestia. To go to Springfield you have to be human, which only she can do. So, do you really think you can try that on me? And I should also mention that my Cutie Mark is null and void, I'll be losing it once I transform back to normal. Humans don't get Cutie Marks" Lisa says annoyed.
"Hmph. Whatever losers!" Diamond Tiara says as she and Silver Spoon huff and storm off defeated.
"Way to go Lisa!" cheers Sweetie Belle.
"Yeah, ya sure showed them!"
"It wasn't anything big. I can't stand people like that. Thinking they're better than anyone else because of a self-perceived status. Wealth doesn't get you anything."

Over the course of the week, Lisa attended the Ponyville school, getting annoyed by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, but not backing down easily defeating both in a battle of wits, proving herself right when she took on Springfield as a whole. It took Rarity longer than expected to complete Apple Bloom's outfit so she's a little behind, which Lisa said she was okay with, the Christmas play isn't another couple of weeks, yet, it was felt among the group, that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle should go to Springfield without Rainbow Dash or Skylight and stay with The Simpsons for the time being.

The group gathered in Canterlot for the travel to Springfield. Princess Celestia turned Lisa back to normal first, so that she could help Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle adjust. The party that gathered featured everypony that was needed which was simply Lisa, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash all felt that it was unnecessary for them to be there, but they had other commitments regardless.

Princess Celestia transformed Apple Bloom after Sweetie Belle's situation was confirmed, and fully clothed, Sweetie Belle is about two inches shorter than Lisa with neck length pink and purple curly hair, while Apple Bloom is taller than Lisa by an inch also with neck length hair, of red colour, her pink hair bow included. Like with Lisa herself, Twilight waited until they had gotten walking bipedal down. Twilight made notes on a clipboard as when Skylight and Rainbow Dash had to do this, Lisa would not be around to help them, so Twilight would have to substitute in her place temporally.

"Now, remember Apple Bloom. Listen to what Marge tells ya while yer in Springfield." orders Applejack.
"That goes to you as well Sweetie Belle." adds in Rarity.
"Will do, sis!" they both exclaim in unison.
"You girls ready?" asks Twilight.
"I am." says Lisa.
"We're ready too, Twilight." says Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle nods.
"Alright. Have a safe trip girls." She says as she fires up her magic firing a blue orb at the wall. The three human girls walk through the portal with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle waving at their sisters as they walk through, with Lisa taking the lead.

In the Simpsons kitchen, Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie and Scootaloo are all eating breakfast when out of nowhere a gust of wind blows food all over the room.

"Woah!" Marge exclaims in surprise.

A large orange hole appears from the fridge and a portal opens up, Lisa having taken the lead back in Canterlot, comes out first.

"Lisa! You're back!" Marge says, hugging her eldest daughter. Maggie, in her high-chair waves her arms in the air.
"Yes, mom. I'm home. I met four ponies that'll come see the play," just as two more girls, Lisa's age step out of the portal. "Two of which have come along with me early, as I'm sure Scootaloo will recognise." Lisa finishes continuing. Scootaloo's eyes go wide, and a huge smile on her face as she looks at the two.
