Yes I know this is probably full of errors and poorly broken up but im not in the mood for spell checking and other news I'm alive sort of.

Somewhere in the halls of the School for Exceptionally Gifted Unicorns...
A tall, lanky off-white stallion dragged himself into the room a cup of coffee in one hoof a cane in the other. He looked rather cranky as he glared at his destination through large round glasses.
The students used to cranky looking teachers were more intriuged by him walking on his back hooves than the expression on his face.
He took his sweet time putting his coffee down and resting his cane next to a pre-placed cushion before flopping down on it like he had died.
"Good afternoon class," he yawned out his lime green eyes scanning the room as he rolled into a more approptiate sitting position "My name is Absinthe Stars, I will be teaching you Illusions and Transformations, blah blah formalities blah, lets get this over with."
"I see some of the more studious of you have already purchased, borrowed or stolen the book for this class" he grummbled pushing his glasses back up his muzzle. "Unfortunatly for you we wont be using it outside of target practice so I suggest you return them and get a less expensive target."
"But, but..." one of the student sputtered.
"Butts are for sitting now, my assistant will be passing out your sylabus shortly. Read it." Stars deadpanned.
The door had creaked open and a little filly balancing a tray full of paper on her back toddled in.
"Please tack one." she said repeatedly as she went from desk to desk before joining Absinthe on his cushion.
Another one of his students decided this was a good a time as any to bring up what some of his classmates had been whispering about from the time their teacher had walked in.
"Umm, Professor Stars, I couldn't help noticing you are an Earth Pony..."
"Yes I am an Earth Pony thank you for pointing out the blaringly obvious, as you young people always find the need to do." Absinthe dead panned as the filly at his side began brushing through his tail.
"Before we begin Illusions let me teach you about some basic biology." the professor said adjusting his glasses
"All ponies have inate magic. Unicorns do to the fact that they have a giant bone deeply imbedded into their brains have an easier time manifesting the magic on their insides to their also explains why they seem to lack common sense sometimes."
Absinthe gave the class a chance to get out their disgusted and offended noises before continuing.
"However with focus and practice any pony with a brain and the sense to try is capable of doing it."
Absinthe picked up his cane and proceeded to cast an illusion of the wall being gone. In this time the filly had begun pulling ribbons out of her satchel bag. This caught the teachers attention for a moment.
"Creme, I know you like brushing manes but I need to get up for a while." he whispered giving what almost looked like a smile. The filly understood and put her ribbons aside.'
"Do pardon my daughter she will be joining us from time to time." Absinthe said as he placed the cane to his forhead where it magically adheared itself.
several pieces of chalk began floating and in a flurry of green glow several spells had been written across the board.
"I will demonstate these quickly because I'm old, I'm tired and my legs hurt from standing for the past 10 hours."
He pointed his horn toward a student who flinched as the spell flew towards him. He opened his eyes to a florecent green text book, which then began glowing before turning into a solid cube.
"I payed 50 bits for this!" he yelled levitating the now glowing green cube in Absinthe's face.
"Dont get your tail in a knot..." he sighed returning the book to normal as he shoved it away with a hoof. "Why do I always end up picking the drama queens?"
The class snickered quietly as their teacher reseated himself with all the elegance and grace of a flying rock.
"Practice your spells on whatever you see fit," he muttered as his daughter began styling his tail once more. "I will let you know when we will move on to the next bit of course work.
The student he had picked for his demonstartion had suddenly decided that Absinthe was just a good a target as his pencil. In a flash Professor stars found that he had been rendered a shade of sunshine yellow his mane and tail a soft blue with a very faint his eyes had turned to blue.
The class immediatly burst into laughter at the sight, as not only had the teacher been recolored but Absinthe's colorations had transfered over to the student, star shaped birthmarks and all.
Absinthe didnt seem to care and his daughter squealed in delight as she happily tied white and pink ribbons into her fathers tail.
"It would appear that you have swapped our colors Mr. Mellow" He said taking a sip of his drink.
'I should get some more sugar for this coffee' was the only thought that ran through his head as his student began begging to change them back.
Wow its been a while(this story is what happens when i drink and write) both charaters names were inspired by alcholic drinks Creme de Minthe and Absinthe look them up if you feel like it. The teacher partially based off my high school math teacher Mr. Edwards who would bring his baby daughter to work.(He was actually really nice) The student is named after Mellow Yellow which is my favorite soda and I think its a song but I cant remember.
