The New Foal

The New Foal

Written by Razor Colorado

It was a normal day at the Ponyville School House. It was when Ms. Cheerilee trotted in that made things take a slight turn.

She had brought a colt with her, he was a Pegasus who was slightly different… He was a little shorter than Sweetie Belle. He had a brown coat and magenta eyes, a two-tone blue mane in the style of Rainbow Dash’s and wore round black eyeglasses. And the part that would cause the most discrimination, he was a blank flank…

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon immediately snickered sinisterly. He clearly wasn’t of the same qualities of most of the others, but he still had a character for himself.

“Good morning, everypony!” Ms. Cheerilee said happily as she got to her desk.

“Good morning, Ms. Cheerilee.” The fillies and colts soon replied.

“So, you may be wondering who the new boy is?” Ms. Cheerilee asked brightly. The students nodded in reply and interest. “This is my son, Razor!”

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon snickered again.

“Now, just because he’s a blank flank doesn’t mean ANY discrimination whatsoever will be allowed.” Ms. Cheerilee said in a serious voice. The young colt blushed lightly.

“The first day is always the hardest, but I will make it work!” Razor spoke his first words in class cheerfully.

“Very good!” Ms. Cheerilee said. “You may take any available seat.”

He chose the free seat next to Diamond Tiara, just for her to pass him a note… “I do not cheat!” Razor said seriously. “I run my studies fairly on a regular basis!”

“Diamond Tiara!” Ms. Cheerilee scolded from the back of her desk. “What did I just say about discrimination and differences?”

The filly gave a somewhat nervous sigh. “Fine…” She put the note away, just knowing she’d soon get an opportunity to make Razor feel unwelcome…

The end of school soon arrived. Razor immediately made his way home to study, but when who should possibly stop him, but Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon…

“Well, well, well… Just look how ironic the new colt is!” Silver Spoon said in an insulting voice, examining him by the side. “And what, might you be interested in?”

“I am in the honors level of math and science, two grades higher than most others of my age range!” He said in an intelligent voice. “I’m about seven and two thirds years of age!” Applebloom was watching him from a safe distance, wanting to hold the two fillies back.

“Oh, really?” Diamond Tiara said in a questioning voice. “What is the average grade for your age group?”

“B+ here, A- in Manehattan!” He said.

“And how do you know this?” Silver Spoon asked in reply.

“I once went to school in Manehattan!” Razor said, more than happy to explain.

“Uh, huh… I guess I’ll see you around tomorrow.” Diamond Tiara said, walking with Silver Spoon to Diamond’s house.

“Bye!” Razor said, then continued on home.
