Wow it has been awhile. Anyways ladies and gentlemen I present to you chapter 3 Of 2nd DOD. Man, I need a better title.
It has been 4 years now and Butterfly was now 5 years old. And today was the first day of school. Butterfly wasn't exact ecstatic about the idea of leaving her home. She sat at the breakfast table, her plate of cotton candy in front of her. While her pet, Fluffle Puff, laid by her hooves. Next to her was her purple-maned sister, now 15 years old, and acting strange. Usually, Screwy would have asked her younger sister to play a game of hoofball after breakfast.
Her mother, Fluttershy, sat across from her. Arguing with Butterfly's father, Discord, about who should take Butterfly to school.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad did the same thing when I was your age." Screwball rolled her "eyes"
Butterfly blinked and replied "Screwy what was school like for you?" Last night Blueberry, Rasberry, and Cherry. Threw an End of Summer party and told them stories about the school being haunted by the ghost of a wicked witch who taught there. Not like Butterfly believed in it.
Screwball sighed, tapping her hoof on her chin as if to decide to tell her younger sibling.
"Fine." she answered with a sigh "When I was younger, I didn't have a lot of control lover my powers. So I..."
Screwball swallowed her words. Butterfly looked to where her sister's direction. There sat Fluttershy giving Screwball her hardeststare yet. Butterfly gulped, immediatly regretting her question. She started back on her breakfast and readjusted her bow.
Butterfly trotted along the path towards the school and managed to get a glimpse of Rasberry, Cherry, Blueberry and Prism. Playing on the swings. Eager to join, Butterfly teleported over. Finding herself in the tree above.
"Hey Butterfly!" Rasberry exclaimed, bouncing into the trees.
"We were wondering!" came Blueberry.
"When you were coming!" finished Cherry.
Prism attempted to fly but only could get a few inches of the ground. Butterfly noticed her friend struggling and used her magic to float her friend into the trees.
Prism then said "Hey! What took ya so long?"
Butterfly sighed and rolled her eyes "Mom and Dad were fighting over whether Fluffle Puff could come or not."
Her friends nodded as Screwball trotted up to the swing set "Okay Butterfly, were going have fun!"
"See ya big sis!" Butterfly waved as she watched her family walk off.
"Anywho.." Cherry continued "I heard that Mary Sue got her cutie mark!"
"Already!" Prism exclaimed, her green eyes widening
"Of course she did." Rasberry scoffed "She's so perfect."
Butterfly rolled her eyes, Mary Sue was the adopted niece of Princess Celestia, and she was sent here to learn the magic of friendship with Twilight. Although Mary Sue still doesn't understand the difference between sand and dirt.
"Either way it still gets my clothes dirty!" Mary Sue would say and trot off, with her nose held high.
Butterfly sat in the middle row of the classroom. Each row had at least 3 desks, the triplets claimed the front, she and Prism were in the middle with Mary Sue, and the rest of the class was in the back.
"Quiet please students." Cheerlie said, the foals quieted down.
"Now I know we are all excited to start but we need to be quiet to learn, so to get to know each other a little better. Greet the pony on your right or the one behind you."
Butterfly looked on her right, Mary Sue put out her hoof hesitantly. Butterfly shook it carefully then looked away.
"You really should change your bow color." a snooty voice said to her.
Butterfly tried to brush of the comment, besides the bow was a special gift from her Aunt Applebloom.
"I think you'd look better in a fuchsia or a dark pink..." continued Mary Sue.
It's Gemstone and Aunt Rarity all over again thought Butterfly. She knew they meant well but they always seemed to want to give her makeovers. Applejack explained they Rarity always wants to give makeovers.
"...I could always recommend you my stylist..." Mary Sue said
Butterfly wished Mary Sue could zip her mouth shut.
"...you can always-" Butterfly turned to Mary Sue's direction. Her mouth was zipped shut by a zipper, other foals started to notice as well and started to laugh. Mary Sue couldn't say anything, tears formed in her eyes and she ran out of the room. I'm in big trouble...thought Butterfly.
"You zipped up Mary Sue mouth!" Fluttershy said in shock
"It was in an acci-" Butterfly attempted
"I mean your sister may have crashed a piano on someone. But this is the princess's niece!" Fluttershy kept ranting about being banished in a prison. While Discord was laughing hysterically, Screwball was trying to reason with her mother, and Fluffle puff hid in a corner of the room. Away from the chaotic family.
Butterfly was sitting on a stool, in a corner she was put in time out by her mother due to her "incident" from today.
