Hey everycreature! What's up!?
Before we get to the next chapter, as always, my thanks for those who put their favs and follows, so thank you Moore98Luke, T8ECR34TOR, and katmar1994!
And also, if you haven't seen it already, there's an animated teaser for an animation by Minty Root called The Fall of Sunset Shimmer and wow… It just left me speechless and in tears! And I loved her Luna's Determination animation, so I'm expecting this one will be just as good or even better!
Anyway… Enough with that, you're here to read the next chapter!
Chapter 2: The Same Idea
Next day came and in the royal palace in Canterlot, Sword Gauntlet was doing his normal routine of trotting around the palace, keeping watch, but also today he was going to see if he could get a quick word with the princess in the throne room. Sword wasn't one to bother the princess with such things like family or personal problems, she already had enough to do as it is, but since this was related to the princess' school, Sword had to speak with her.
"I have to talk with the princess eventually, might as well do it sooner than later…" Sword thought as he had one of his front hooves on his chin. "I hope she's not too busy for a few minutes." And then Sword made his way to the throne room.
Coming to the throne room doors Sword took a deep breath before knocking lightly to gain entrance.
"Come in." Sword heard the princess say.
As Sword came in, he saw the princess was currently going over some paperwork with her assistant, Celestia in the middle of signing some official documents. However she stopped with her quill held up in midair by Celestia's magic as the white alicorn turned her attention from her papers to the visiting royal guard.
(Author's note: Like in the beginning of the season 3 premiere, also I don't know the name of Celestia's assistant…, somecreature tell me please!)
"And what can I do for you?" Celestia asked the guard. "Sword Gauntlet is it?"
"Yes, your highness." The guard replied, in a professional voice. "Do you mind if I speak to you in private?"
"Of course." And Celestia nodded to her assistant and the other guards in the throne room, all of which left and only the two ponies remained. "Now, what is it you wish to talk about?"
"Well, your highness, it's about my daughter…" Sword began.
"Blooming Rose?" Celestia now taking interest.
"Yes, princess, you see I been noticing she has been having trouble lately with her education, mostly having friends her age." Sword addressed. "And I was wondering if maybe I could transfer her to Princess Twilight's School of Friendship, you see my son has been accepted as the new assistant to Ponyville's mayor, so that's why I thought it would be a good idea if she went with him. If your highness refuses to take her out from your school, than I accept your decision."
"Actually Sword, I have also been noticing your daughter's fear of making friends and I have been thinking of maybe asking your permission to send her to the School of Friendship." Celestia revealed. "If you want, I will send a letter to Princess Twilight asking if she has a space for your daughter."
"Why thank you princess, this is much more than I expected." Sword a bit taken aback in surprise.
"You're welcome Sword, now is there anything else?" Celestia asked politely.
"No, that is all, thank you again princess." Sword bowing down before leaving the throne room. "Well that went better than I thought." Sword said to himself before returning to duty.
Meanwhile back in the throne room, when her assistant came back, Celestia finished signing the documents before attending to the letter, her assistant getting the blank parchment, quill, and ink. Celestia, with her magic, dipped the quill in the ink and began writing the letter and once finished, used her teleportation spell to send it to Spike…
Meanwhile in Ponyville…
In the School of Friendship, Twilight, with Spike by her side to assist her as always, was teaching her class on the history of pre-Equestrian Friendships, having a slideshow on with a picture of Scorpan.
"Now as Scropan came to appreciate the way ponies lived, he would eventually make friends with the great wizard…" Twilight began as she was going to signal to Spike for the next slide to show the picture of Scropan with Starswirl, only the slide didn't change." Spike?" Twilight looking at Spike and seeing him hold his mouth before he let it out and green flames appeared with a letter coming out.
"I can't remember the last time I did that…" Spike commented as he cleared his throat from getting the letter.
Twilight, using her magic, picked up the letter and read who it was from, surprised to see it was from Celestia. Remembering that she was teaching class, Twilight turned to the students.
"Sorry students, but important business to attend to, why don't you all get a head start going to your next class and we can pick up where we are tomorrow." Twilight informed her students, who were happy at the early dismissal and left the room while Twilight took her seat in the classroom with Spike next to her.
"What does it say Twilight?" Spike asked.
"It says…" Twilight reading the letter…
(Author's note: Imagine Celestia speaking now as Twilight reads the letter.)
"Dear Twilight,
I hope everything is going well with your school and your students are enjoying their classes and making new friends. And I hope you have room for another student. One of the royal guards has a daughter who attends my school, however both him and I noticed she's having trouble, mostly with making friends and being sociable. She actually reminds me a lot of you when you were her age.
Now, both me and her father agreed that the School of Friendship would be a much better place for the little filly to be in. I know there may not be room for another student, but if there is, it would be most helpful if you could accept her as a student in your school. I look froward to your answer.
From Princess Celestia."
"Another student, that's great!" Spike happily agreeing with Celestia.
"I agree Spike, come on lets get to my office and we can send back a reply to the princess right away."
As the two were back in the big office, Twilight sat down on her chair, while Spike got the necessary writing material and Twilight got to work with the reply.
"Spike could you also get an acceptance letter copy?" Twilight asked her number one assistant.
"Right away Twilight." Spike went to one of the file drawers to get the acceptance letter.
Meanwhile Twilight wrote the reply to Celestia…
"Dear Princess Celestia…" Twilight began.
The day was starting to end as it was almost time for Celestia to lower the sun while Luna would raise the moon. As Celestia was finishing up her other duties before her last one, a letter popped up before her.
"Oh, must be the reply from Twilight." Celestia thought as she unrolled the letter with her magic and read it.
(Author's note: Now imagine Twilight speaking.)
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Thank you very much for writing this letter to me. And of course I'll be happy to accept another student into my school, we're always happy to have new students seeking the magic of friendship. She'll fit right in and we'll make sure she gets a good education and feels comfortable making new friends. I will send an acceptance letter right after my reply to you, to the family.
"From your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
A few days passed as Drawn Pen was packing up his things for the train trip to Ponyville for his new job and it was his last complete day in his home in Canterlot before he would leave. For Blooming Rose, well, she and the family has yet to receive any news about the School of Friendship, that is until the mail came during the afternoon when Blooming Rose just got home from Celestia's school.
Pen was just by the front door, checking his things over and over, making sure he packed up everything for tomorrow, he was that concerned and organized. He was in the middle of checking over things a third time when an envelope came in through the mail slot in the front door.
"I wonder what's this." Pen wondered as he picked up the envelope with his hoof and read what was written on the front, what he read surprised him. "Rose, come down here, you have to see this!"
The little filly was up in her room and went out from her brother calling her, trotting down the stairs, she was curious what her big brother wanted.
"What is it?" Blooming Rose asked.
"Look who sent you a letter." Pen presenting the letter to his little sister.
"What in the name of Celestia…" Rose said with a speechless face.
It was the School of Friendship acceptance letter, for Blooming Rose to be a student in.
And I'll leave it at that!
And just in case you're wondering… Blooming Rose is about the same age as like Cozy Glow and the CMCs are and her older siblings are like around the age of the Mane 6 and Starlight.
Other than that…
See everycreature later!
