Chapter 6: Zula's First Day

The following morning, Zula woke up in her new house.

"(Yawns), well that was a good night's sleep. Good morning, Tad." she said.

Tad who had just woken up in his tank, looked her, and croaked. She then got out of bed, and looked out her window. She could see the trees of the Everfree Forest, and the site of Twilight's Castle and the School of Friendship in the distance.

"Zula are you awake? There's lots of things this day could make." called Zana.

"I'm up. I'll be down soon to follow up."

She got cleaned up, got Tad, and went downstairs.

"So Zula we're going to see your new school? Are you going to be cool?" wondered Zander.

"I will. I'm sure it will all be chill."

After eating breakfast, the family dropped Zoly off with Zecora, and went to the School of Friendship.


When they went inside, they were amazed at how the school looked inside.

"This place is very nice. I hope it doesn't cost a big price." Zana observed.

"Don't worry, my dear. I'm sure all will be made clear." assured Zander.

Just then Twilight and Spike flew up to them.

"Good morning, Zander, Zana, and Zula." greeted Twilight.

"Welcome to the school." added Spike.

"It's very great. It's impossible to hate." Zula told them.

"Thank you. Come on, let's get you all signed up." Twilight told them.

They followed the two to Twilight's office, and Zana and Zander signed some papers. Zula waited outside the office with Tad while the adults did the boring stuff.

"Tad, soon this school will be mine. I really hope everything will be fine." she told her pet.

Tad croaked at her, as if to say, "It'll be okay."

Just then the door opened, and Spike told her to come in. She did, and stood next to her parents.

"Well Zula, you're now officially a student here at the School of Friendship." Twilight told her.

Zula smiled happily.

"Now it's time for a tour. Unfortunately, I have a class to start so your tour guide will be our own guidance counselor."

Just like that, Starlight Glimmer came into the room.

"Starlight, meet our newest student, Zula, and her parents." Spike introduced.

"Hello, and welcome to our school, Zula. If you'll follow me, I'll show you around." Starlight told them.

She led the zebras out the door, and down the hall.


She showed them her office, the library, classrooms, dining hall, the student lounge, and where the students slept if they lived here. When the tour was over, Starlight gave Zula her class schedule.

"You'll start classes tomorrow. And if you need to talk about anything my door's always open."

The zebras understood, and started to leave. But before leaving, Zana and Zander decided to find the restrooms. While Zula and Tad waited for them, they saw the Young 6. She recognized them from the party last night.

When they looked over at her, Zula shyly smiled.

"Hey, you're one of Zecora's family members." Smolder pointed out.

"Yes, I am Zula."

"Well welcome to Equestria, Zula." said Sandbar.

"Thank you, I'm glad to meet all of you."

Then her parents came out of the restrooms, and told her it was time to go. Zula told them she'd see them tomorrow, she left with her parents.


The next day, Zula was ready for her first day of school. Zana, Zander, Zoly, and Zecora were there to see her off.

"Have a good day my dear. We hope you don't have any fear." Zana told her.

"I have to admit, I'm feeling that way. What if I can't make it through the day?"

"You'll be fine. This school is very divine." Zander encouraged.

"Do not worry. You'll make friends is a great hurry." added Zecora.

Even Zoly cooed at her to give his encouragement. Zula smiled, she was glad to have her family's encouragement.

"Look after her, Tad. Make sure this day isn't bad." Zana said to Tad, who was sitting on Zula's back.

Tad croaked back at her. After a quick snuggle, the other zebras left, leaving Zula and Tad alone.

"Well Tad, it's just us. Let's not make a fuss." she told him.

And they went inside.


Zula looked at her schedule, and saw first she had generosity class with Professor Rarity. She managed to find the room, took a deep breath, and went inside. Most of the other students were already there, including the Young 6.

Rarity then noticed Zula.

"Oh, good morning, Zula. Twilight and Starlight said you'd be starting today."

"Professor Rarity, hello. I hope I wasn't too slow." Zula told her.

"Oh, not at all."

Then Rarity got everycreature's attention.

"Students, I'd like you all to meet the school's newest student, Zula."

The students smiled, waved, and said, "hello".

"Zula, you'll sit here, by Ocellus."

The young Changeling waved to Zula to let her know who and where she was. She and Tad took a seat at a desk, and waited for the lesson to begin. Rarity talked about ways to be generous, which interested Zula and Tad.

"Now class, it's time to work on our friendship quilt." Rarity announced.

This confused Zula, what friendship quilt?

"Gallus, would you be a good friend and fill Zula in while I get the supplies?" Rarity requested.

"Sure thing." Gallus replied, and he went up to her desk.

"Hey, Zula, as you probably already guessed I'm Gallus."

"Hi, what is this thing you're talking about? Could you leave me down the right route?"

"No problem. You see all of Professor Rarity's classes are making friendship quilts. And we're each making a piece for the quilt. And it can represent you, things you like, and where you came from."

Zula smiled, that sounded like fun.

"Come on, you can work with us." Zula smiled, and so did Tad.

After getting their supplies from Professor Rarity they joined the Young 6.


Meanwhile, Zana and Zander decided it was time to find work. Luckily with the help of Zecora and Mayor Mare they were able to find something. Zana was going to make pottery with some other ponies for a store in town, and Zander was going to help other carpenter ponies.

To celebrate they were going to go out for lunch . As they made their way to a diner, they ran into Discord again.

"Hello, Zecora, Zecora's family." he greeted.

"Hello, Discord." Zecora greeted back.

Zana and Zander said hello too. But little Zoly still cowered in fear.

"Hey, there little guy, remember me?" Discord asked him, giving him a smile.

Zoly started crying once again.

"Oh, come on, I smiled."

But the baby zebra kept crying.

"Discord, I am sorry so say, Zoly thinks you're trying to make him your prey." Zana informed.

Discord's face dropped, how was he going to prove to that baby that he wasn't scary?


Back at school, Zula and Tad were enjoying themselves.

"So far this school is fun. There's so many friendship lessons than just one." Zula told Tad.

Tad croaked in agreement. Soon it was time for lunch, and they went to the dining hall. After getting a tray of food, Zula looked for a place to sit. Most of the tables were already filled up, so she found a place on the sidelines.

Before she could start eating, somecreature came up to her. It was Yona Yak.

"Hi, Zula. Me Yona Yak." she introduced.

"Hello."

"Come sit with Yona and friends."

"Really, thanks. Better than just sitting here like blanks."

Zula followed Yona, and she led her to where the rest of the Young 6 sat. They all introduced themselves, and were very friendly to her and Tad. Zula was feeling like she belonged there.
