Growing Up Is Optional

by RainbowBob
Ponies? Check. High school? Check. Plot? Check, for both kinds. Clop? Check. Friendship? Damn, I knew we were missing something.

Years in the future, but not that many, Ponyville has changed. Not by much, but it's still changed. Its position has made it both a boomtown and a trading hub for everywhere south of Canterlot. The town has developed, industry is starting to take root, and ponies from across the country are moving in. With them, they brought the horrible universal constant, the plague across all cultures that takes on many names.

You would probably know it as High School.

Among two of these ponies so lucky to be caught up in the educational revolution are a pair of stallions by the names of Big Shot and Lockheart. One's a loser, one's a stud. One's a herculean, one's a wimp. One has social anxiety, one has a silver tongue. One's a star student, the other is a slippery snake. One's a pervert, one's a- oh wait, they're both perverts.

Let the clop commence.

Collab with the awesomely talented LDSocrates, who makes this story worth reading, and he proofreads it too, so don't forget to thank him and check his own stories out when you have the chance. Another thanks to Senbi who made the kickass cover image and helps LDSocrates with the proofreading.
