Chapter 37: What A Way To Go Downhill

It was midnight in Canterlot City, very few cars were driving at this time as apposed to other times and the whole city was quiet apart from a few fueds, and in Canterlot Academy, every student and staff member were asleep, ready to wake up to a new day. It was peaceful in the campus, the easy wind blowing in directions, the lights turned off, and more of a quiet feel to the place. All 50 dorms seemed quiet as apposed to this. In Dorm 49, all 10 members of the Elements of Harmony were sleeping well, dreaming about their positives as well on occasions having the opposite taking to account. Even Vanellope was having a good sleep, whom was stopped by Vice-Principal Trunchbull on the way to training with Everton Ladies, which was successful. She thrives into all control of her dream.

Vanellope's dream:

Vanellope was walking down an average hallway of the academy, seemingly pleased with how things had turned out from her perspective. She glanced at the paintings and wondered if she'd like to become an artist one day. Eventually, she'll just stick to Kart Racing. Suddenly, without her knowing, Vice-Principal Trunchbull came to her and stopped, the mint green suprise seemingly scarce in ambitious gold cups of her racing days.

"Vanellope Von Schweetz!". The vice-principal snapped at her, causing the girl to take some steps back.

"Y-yes, V-vice-Principal T-trunchbull, m-ma'am?".

"I told you to turn over those assignment papers to me, and you totally backfire on me because of how I act towards fellow students. Have you not learned the lesson of self-respect? Or have you completely lost your mind of how I act towards fellow students?".

"I told you before. I said I'll do 'em before I got to training with my English team".

"But that's not good enough. And now you will come with me and I'll lock you up in the Chokey".

Vice-Principal Trunchbull grabbed Vanellope's black hair and tried to swing the girl around, only for the mint green suprise to kick her and let her hair free. the vice-principal then ripped out a hammer used for breaking windows and swung it around, effectively hitting Vanellope on the way past it's 360 degree circle.

"Oof!". Vanellope felt the pain.

She got back on her feet and jumped in the air, past Vice-Principal Trunchbull and back-kicked her in style, but not before the vice-principal punched her in the back, sending her into the floor. She then picked up with mint green suprise and threw her against walls, the last one where the Vice-Principal Trunchbull threw Vanellope into the fire alarm.

Vanellope woke up to hear that the fire alarm was going off, sending her falling off her bed (Which was above Lola's bed), the other girls hearing the siren too and quickly got dressed, as Vanellope was still rubbing her head. She asked what was going on, but Twilight left it until they were safely out of the building. The mint green suprise knew she had to get dressed and join the girls, thus doing so. The other 490 students did the same, as it was a race to get out of the academy building first. Once they did and were simply into the fire assembly point, Principal Celestia got out a register and ticked every last student off the list, Vanellope wondering why it was a good time for the drill to be taking place at 8:00.

"What is going on here? Why is this agood time to be having a fire drill?". She asked.

"I don't possibly know". Twilight answered. "I suppose it's once a semester of something like that, I don''t know".

"But it's early to be having one. It's 8 AM".

"Like I said, I don't know".

That made the mint green suprise act guilty as her dream predicted the alarm going off at a certain time.

After the fire drill, in the cafeteria...

"I don't honestly know what caused a perfect time to occur". Vanellope wanted to know. "Why did it occur on a certain time?".

"Why?". Sticks asked. "What's wrong? Is it those sleeper agents again?".

"No...".

"What's been bugging you, Van?". Applejack asked.

"It's Trunchbull". The mint green suprise sighed. "She attacked me in my dream, and she pushed me into a place where the fire alarm was located, and I woke up, and the fire alarm was going off. That's my story! Do you want to hear more?!".

"Oh...". Rainbow responded.

"I feel so guilty for setting off the alarm".

"No you don't, sugarcube". Applejack comforted. "Dreams are not what is going to happen in reality, unless you count something like nightmares coming into this world".

"That's not helping, aj". Vanellope sniffed, trying to wipe her tears from explaining her story.

"What I'm trying to tell you is it wasn't you who set off the alarm in the first place. It was probably some maniac who hates the world or something".

"Don't look at me!". Sticks told, as the other girls clearly wodered if it was her, but probably not.

"This ain't helping me at all, girls". The mint green suprise let out another sigh. "I'm probably going to get teased by what had just happened. People are gonna start speculating about me and such. What am I going to do?".

"Uhhhh...you could try disguising yourself". Rarity suggested.

"Yeah". Smurfette replied. "Try not to think about it, just like how everyone forgot that Twilight was the one who unleashed magic onto the front of the campus".

"Don't remind me!". Twilight said through gritted teeth.

"Whatever".

"But still". Vanellope responded. "Why would she do that to me? Trunchbull has done some really mean things in the past, but I think she pushed me against the fire alarm jst to make me feel guilty over things, like how also she states that going into a portal to train with other soccer clubs classifies as cheating because of a lack of transport".

"Yep, she does bring that up from time to time". Sunset replied.

"To be honest". Sticks tagged along. "I'm not suprised that Trunchbulls is a recurring villain in terms of agencies begging for me to lose everything, also you all have been through this debacle".

"True". Vexy comprehended.

"I just need some time to myself". Vanellope concluded, as she got out of her seat and headed for the library, the girls watching her as they had to figure out a way to cheer her up, since that's what friends do.

"We have to do something about this". Twilight proclaimed.

"I agree". Fluttershy responded. "She's not like this. She's usually one of the fun members to be around".

"And my joke partner". Pinkie added.

"I need to think this through". The studius continued. "Any ideas, girls?".

"Nah". Some of them delivered.

"Ugh! Why is this so complicated? Fine, we'll have to take drastic measures".

"Kay". The badger replied. "But me, Applejack and Lola have a friendly against Hillwood United in a few hours. How are we going to do drastic measures in that amount of time?".

"I don't know, but it's worth a shot".

"Kay".

The 11 girls continued to think of ways to cheer Vanellope up as the time for Canterlot United's friendly against Hillwood United was edging closer.

That's the end of this chapter. So, Vanellope's feeling guilty after she felt she had set off the fire alarm. What will happen next? Read on to find out. Please review.
