Equestria: A re-written history
Chapter 2: A History Lesson, a Dream, and a Bet
Previous Chapter"Well Mr. Flyer i'm waiting." said Professor Codsdale now looking down at him from the chalkboard.
"I gotta think of something quick," thought Flash as he started scanning the room for anything that could save him. Then he saw it, he recognized the pages on the students had the books open to. It was about the events surrounding Nightmare Moon. Flash knew this story front to back and even some background information about the court case because his father often told him about Famous Equestrian cases to help put him to sleep when he was a young pegasus.
"Well it looks like Mr. Flyer forgot his book again, and can you believe that this pony wants to be a Wonder-Bolt?" teased the Professor as he started to go off. "Be careful when you apply. You don't want to forget your wings." The whole class started to giggle. "Well if you can't tell us anything I guess i'll pick somepon-"
"Wait sir," Flash rose out of his desk and took in a long inhale and started recalling everything his father told him. "Approximately 1,000 years prior to Princess Luna's return, she and her sister Princess Celestia engaged in an argument on who would rule during the day because Princess Luna was unhappy with her role and jealous of her sister. And as a result, the darkness consumed her and the princess of the night became nightmare moon."
"Alright Mr. Flyer that will be enoug-" Mr. Codsdale tried to say but Flash kept on talking.
"Using the elements of harmony. Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic. Princess Celestia was able to seal away Nightmare Moon, and what most ponies don't know is that the exchan-"
"Mr. Flyer that will be enough from you! Please take your seat," the professors angry gaze was more than enough for Flash. He sat back down into his chair and heard his classmates around him laughing from behind their books. "Well class what Mr. Flyer said is all surprisingly correct. However those are all the final events of the story. There are of course more things involved with this than just a simple sibling rivalry. The cause of all these events can be traced to the agricultural revolution.
Flash began to fade out. He did know the story, but when Mr. Codsdale started to talk about pre-pre-history it made his eyes heavy along with his head. He put slid back in his chair and put his head on top of the desk. And soon everything became quiet.
He later woke up and to his surprise the room was empty. He rubbed his eyes hoping everyone would reappear. Flash noticed the chalkboard was wiped cleaned. "Why is the board clean? Professor hasn't clean that damn thing since the 2nd quarter of school started, and more importantly where is everypony?" He got up from his desk and began to walk around the classroom. It was completely empty. "Where did everything go? No way the Professor could get all this out of the room." He looked at the desks. "Let alone motivate the class to help him out." Flash checked the window. Nothing appeared out of place. Everything outside looked normal. Flash began to walk towards the door. He poked his head out the doorway and looked up and down the hallways, but still there was nothing.
"HELLOOOO!!!!!!! IS ANYONE HERE!!!!!" Flash held his breath hoping someone would call back. He started to head out for the front door of the school while calling out loud along the way. "Okay guys very funny. Now come out and scare me." But no one called back.
Flash made to the front gate and still he didn't see anyone. He gave one more look and shrugged his shoulders and sighed. "Schools out I guess." He pressed his hoof against the gate handle but it wouldn't open. "what the hay?" Flash thought. They never lock this until nighttime." He looked again to see if anyone could see him. Flash shook his head and turned on his front legs and kicked the gate with his hind legs as hard as he could. It didn't budge. He kicked it again. It still didn't come loose. Flash smacked his head on the bars. "Oh come ON!!!!" He shoved the gate on last time with his front hoof. "Dumb gate," growled Flash. "Maybe theirs another way out. He turned around and began to walk back.
Suddenly a soft explosion went off in the distance. Flash quickly turned back around. Up in the sky was a sonic rainboom. It was unmistakable. The circles that surrounded the center of light shined bright with all the colors as it expanded off into the air. Flash got excited. "It must be Rainbow Dash shes the only one known to have pulled a sonic rainboom." He cupped his hooves around his mouth. "RAINBOW DASH OVER HER-" Then the object sped up even more. Flash soon became fixed on it as it flew up in the sky. It was starting going faster and faster. Then another explosion occurred, but this one knocked him to the floor. Flash scrambled to his hooves to try and find the object again, but it was gone. The only thing that remained were two solid beams of blue light side by side and angled away like a V.
"What was that!?" Flash asked himself. "The sonic rainboom I recognize, but what in the hay is the second one supposed to be!?" Soon something hit Flash. BING! BING! BING! The loud sound shook the ground and Flash started to feel light headed. Soon a voice called out Flash!.....Flash!.....FLASH!!!!!!
The classroom came back into view as Flash woke up. He groaned. "Did you really have to wake me? I was in a thought provoking dream."
A familiar voice spoke back. "So your dreams are more important than your grade?" Flash snapped up into his chair and looked up at Professor Codsdale who had smirk drawn across his face. "Well Flash not even the bell woke you up. It must have been a thought provoking dream." Flash started to shrink in his chair. He prepared to be scalded but this time it was different. "Flash is something wrong?" The question made Flash relax a bit. "Now I know I give you a rough time,but you're also my best student. I'd recommend you for an honors class but you're already in one so whats not keeping your attention?"
Flash leaned forward and crossed his hooves and laid then on top of his desk. "Well see recently I applied to the Wonder-Bolts academy."
The Professor sat down in the desk next to him. "And......."
"Well I got accepted and my trial is two days from now. But I heard they changed the course and have more strict officers. And I just can't seem to get any sleep 'cause of it." "I hope he buys this one" Flash prayed in his mind.
The Professor leaned back and narrowed his eyes. "Flash do you think you're a good flyer?"
Flash laughed. "Not just a good flyer, an excellent flyer!" The Professor rose out from the desk.
"Okay then so you have nothing to worry about. If you're a good flyer then in two days time nothing should be an issue for you. So don't come sleeping in my class anymore. I'm putting my hoof down on this one."
"But sir me sleeping hasn't been an issue before," Flash protested.
"Alright how about a deal? You make the Wonder-Bolts and you're no longer allowed to sleep in my class, but for some weird reason you don't make it in I'll look the other way if you sleep; as long as you keep your grades up."
Flash smiled as he swung his backpack over his wings. "Deal" They shook hooves and Flash left the classroom.
