"Ohhh how I dreamed of this day." Jackie was dressed in an artist's outfit. Dr. Chan, Professor of Art." He read from his nameplate "Heh Professor of art I could get used to that. Anyway, today present itself as a marvelous opportunity not just for myself but for the good citizens of San Francisco. I'll go down in history and someday there'll be a wing with my name on it!"

"Hey you're teaching art at a rec center. It's not that special." A janitor said.

"Hmph! Uncultured trash urchin." Jackie sneered.

The sound of a paint pallet watch went of as Jackie looked art the time.

"Ooh! 9 AM Time to let the class in." Jackie walked to the entrance of the room.

"Don't want to keep them waiting." Jackie opened the door as lots of people were in line.

"Welcome to art class!"

The crowd looked around. "Oh, isn't this cooking? Sorry," Everyone left except for one. A certain girl in an orange vest.

"Hello Jacke, are you taking the art class too?"

"Jade? In art class?" Jackie tried to get the other people back. "Wait! This is cooking! Come back." But they were too far away.

Knowing that there's no other choice Jackie had to accept Jade in the club "You gotta be kidding me."

"Haha! This is great!" Jade said as she walked in the classroom. "You and me in school together. So, where's the teacher?"

Jakie sighed "Fortunately for you you're looking at him.

Jade gasped in excitement. "You my art teacher? This isn't art class, it's heaven!"

"Yeahhhhhhh" Jackie replied.

Later Jade was seated as Jackie started the lessons.

"Alright, uhhmmm...class we'll have to start from square one. Or should I say circle one." Jackie said as he drew a poorly drawn circle. "I am going to fast for you Jade?"

"How's this Jackie?" Jade showed Jackie a drawing of a perfect circle.

"What the? a perfect circle? Do it again show your process." Jackie demanded

"Well fist i draw this head..." Jade drew a realistic head. "...Then I erase some of the details..." she erased some details. Then more details leaving just a circle. "...And 1, 2, 3, a perfect circle."

"Grrrr...give me that!" forget the circles! Jackie crumbled the paper up.

"Oooohh nice one Jackie. Let me try" Jade folded the crumped paper. and made an origami.

"Look Jackie, It's you and me playing leapfrog. That's you on the bottom."

"Give me that!" Jackie said as he ripped the paper. "There's is nothing artistic about leapfrog."

Jade put the ripped pieces together.

"What are you doing now?"

"I call it rippy bits!" Jade showing another picture of her and Jackie playing leapfrog "Only you're on top this time."

Jackie blew away the image. "Do you want to learn art or not?"

"I'm sorry Jackie I'll pay closer attention." Jade said.

The two went to two extra-large marble blocks.

"Alright, Jade pays close attention. Look at your marble visualize the sculpture within, then gently-" As Jackie struck his block, the whole thing collapsed into a pile of rubble.

Jade struck her block, and it revealed a guy naked with a leaf. "How's this Jackie?"

"Gasp! It's beautiful!" Jackie then switched over "I mean this isn't art!"

"It's not?"

"Of course not! I mean a good sculpture takes...er..more time. I mean, come on, Jade, you can't just sculpt Willie-Nillie! You've got to go by the book! Follow the rules! Otherwise, you'll never be able to advance past, "Amateur Hour" in here!"

"Besides you got the eyebrows wrong." Jackie puts two eyebrows just like much his own over the statue's. "There now it is art."

"Oh it's so obvious. I never would have thought of that." Jade had tears in her eyes.

"I don't deserve your lessons, I don't deserve your presence..." Jade walked to the doors. "...And I don't deserve to use your doors."

Suddenly a man in a tux opened the doors knocking Jade out the window.

"Hello there!"

Jade fell into a dumpster. "But I deserved that..."The lid of the dumpster closed. "...and I deserved that..." The garbage trunk to the garbage along with Jade. "...and I deserve this."

Jackie turned to the dude "Ummm...Hello...I'm afraid class has been dismissed." Jackie said

"Class? Oh! I'm not here for any class. Sorry, seems I've left my manners at home, heh heh. Anyway, the name's Jerri Tiffany"

Jackie gasped. "Jerri? As in the world-famous Canterlot royal guard-turned-artist?! That same Jerri?"

"Uh, well, when you put it that way, then…. yeah! Sure! The one and only!" Jerri said.

"So, what are you doing here?" Jackie asked

"Well, let's just say that I'm on a bit of a "shoppin' spree", scopin' out for some new talent that I can showcase in my upcoming exhibit in LA!"

"Really?! Well, Jerri, luckily for you, your search is over! For I have a few pieces right here that would look positively smashing in your exhibit! Just give me a moment!"

Jackie got a box of some of his art. He pulled out an abstract picture of himself.

"Here it is! I call this one: Rarity en repose." Jackie said.

"Uh…. yeah, I, uh, don't think that'll fit in with the other pieces in my collection." Jerri said

"Huh? Why not?"

"Because, it's an art collection! Hahaha!" Jerri answered

"Okay, how about this one? I call it, Bold and Brash!" Jackie shows a painting of himself on a yellow background.

"More like Belongs in the Trash!" Jerri laughed

"Sorry. I must've missed that one." the janitor said as he took the painting and dropped it in the bin and whistled off.

"Look, Jackie, I'll be honest. There's not really a whole lot I like in here, so maybe I should just- Huh? What is that?!" He walked to the sculpture Jade carved.

"That's not… uh, uh…."

"Angelic form! Amazing detail! Perfect censorship! Man, I gotta say, this is the work of a true genius!... Hey, wait a minute! Just what in the world are these?!" Jerri noticed the eyebrows Jackie put on.

He grabbed a ladder and went to to them "This is the only flaw" He took off the eyebrows and threw them onto Jackie's own brows. "Ah, that's more I like it!"

"Ummm Jerri...I just wanted to say that-"

"I simply must find the artist responsible for this! They shall have fame!"

"Fame?" Jackie imagines being a TV star

"Fortune!"

"Fortune?" Jackie imaging being in a shower that rains money.

"Anything his heart desires"

"Anything?" Jackie imagines being in a normal house and runs to Jerri.

"It's me! "It's me! I'm responsible!.. Doh! I mean, my niece, Jade and I are responsible. We both worked on this piece together."

"I can see it now! Your names in California's most prestigious museums! I'm gonna make the two of you… immortal! "Now, uh, help me get this in the car, will ya? Thanks."

Jackie and Jerri lift the sculpture. "Now I could you a little help. But as they carried it. The head of the sculpture hit the edge of the door and broke off. The head shed a tear before crumbling into rubble.

Jackie ran to what used to be the head. "My fame! My fortune! My house!"

"Well that's a bit off bad luck right there." Jerri said. "But this shouldn't be a problem for an artist of your magnitude. You can whip up another one!"

"Yeah, uh between you and me this isn't my best work...why don't you come back tomorrow and i can make something that can knock your socks off."

"Between you and me, I'm not wearing socks!" Jerri laughed

"Yeah, no socks, alright see you tomorrow." Jackie said as Jerri left. "I gotta find Jade!" So Jackie ran to the dump.

Jackie was at the dump looking for Jade. "Jade, Jade? Jade!" He finally found her with a cereal box on her head.

"Ah Jade! There you are!"

However, Jade was upset. "*Sniff* Go away, Jackie…. I don't deserve your kindness….. or generosity or whatever..."

"Hey, hey, cheer up, niece! As I've decided to give you another chance! And with a great teacher like me, anything is possible!"

"Don't look at me, Rarity! Don't look at my shame! These hands weren't meant to create! They only destroy! *sniff* I can't look at them"

Jade's hands popped off and ran inside a can. "Um…. ooookay, uh, but come on, Jade!" Jackie took the can and got Jade's hands

"W-what?"

"I suppose I was just jealous of you after seeing you do all those things with the circle, the origami, and everything else with minimal effort. But I guess I should've just swallowed my pride and actually have been a teacher to you. What kind of teacher am I if I can't even allow my students to shine and succeed in their own way? So again, I'm sorry. And nothing would make me happier if you came back to class with me! That is, only if you would like."

Jade took off the cereal box and hug her uncle.

"Are ya kiddin'?! Of course I'll come back!"

"And with my help, we'll be able to take your hands..." Jackie said as he put the hands back on his niece.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Really?"

"…*sigh* Really."

"Wow…. really?"

"….Yeah. Let's go, Jade."

As the two went back to the rec center, Jade noticed something in a trash pile.

"Hey look Jackie, it's ol Bold and Brash!" She said as she took it out.

"Give me that" Jackie said as he took the painting.

Back at the rec center, Jackie pulls up a marble block.

"Alright, Pinkie. Just do what you did before."

Jade pulled out a chisel and hammer, but hesitated.

"I can't"

"Ah, ah, wait, wait! I understand you're a bit nervous getting back into the fray so quickly, Jade, but here, let me help." Offered Jackie. He went back to the chalkboard.

"As a warmup, let's start with the circle again!" He said as he drew a perfect circle on the chalkboard.

Jade draw to her own circle on the paper. "And…. done! I did it, Jackie."

Jackie got the paper, but noticed Jade's circle was crudely drawn and crooked like his first circle.

"W-what?! I-I don't understand! But, but, what about the head, and the erasing and the-"

"Hmm… I dunno, Rare. That stuff's not in the book!" Jade retorted as she pulled it out.

"Um…. yeah…. heh heh." Jackie then grabs Jade's paper, crumbled it up, and put it on her desk.

"How about this, huh? Remember?"

"That's not in the book either!" Jade recited

"Rrrgh! Forget about the book!" Jackie said he as grabed it and ripped it up and tossed it like confetti. "Hah! Look at all this mess, Jade! What do all these little bits of paper make you want to do?"

"Hmm…. oh wait! I think I know this!" Jade put the pieces together. "Oh yeah, I think I got this! And….. ta-da!"

However instead of a picture, the pieces were formed back into the rulebook. Jackie fell down anime style.

"Okay, Jade, let's just move back onto the marble." Jackie said as they went back there

"Ah, here we are! First, an artist must concentrate and visualize their concept!" Jade said as she rubbed the block with her eyes.

"Now you got it!" Jackie replied

"I've gotta embrace the marble!"

"Right"

""I've gotta sniff the marble! *sniff* *sniff*"

"Well, um…. Okay?"

"I've gotta lick the marble!" Jade does so.

"Uh….."

"I gotta wash the marble" Jade said as she washed it in a washing machine.

"I gotta date the marble" she said as they were at a table in the dark.

"And I gotta be the marble" she said as she was square and as big as the block. She returned to her orginal size and shape.

"I've got it! I have seen the sculpture within."

"Here you go, Jade! Do us proud!" Jackie said as he handed her the tools. She came to the block and was ready to strike.

"With this tool, I shall give birth… to ART!"

"Oh boy! Normal house, here I come!" Jackie gleefully said!

And in 3..2...1...klink! With a single strike the marble turned to a pile of rubble.

"But one more thing!" Jade puts replicas of Jackie's eyebrows on the rubble pile "There. Now it's art!"

Jackie's eye twitch Hnnng….. "Hnnnng…! Hnnnnnng… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jackie started going berserk throughout the classroom. he started kicking other marble blocks with great force, chewing a big chunk out of one, aggressively squeezing out paint from their tubes, kicking his entire leg through a painting, and taking all the other marble blocks and smashing all of them into one pile

A self-portrait of Jackie hanging on the wall couldn't help but somehow roll its eyes

Jade look at Jackie's meltdown. "Whoa! It looks like the excitement of my artistic triumph was too much for Jackie!" She put a cereal box back on her head. "Oh well, back to the dump!"

She ran out of the building through the wall.

To the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump dump!

To the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump dump!

After a few bursts on his art rage, Jackie walk to the door. Only for Jerri to open it.

"I'm here for the-" Jerri was shocked to see what he saw. "What the? who's responsible for this?"

"As of now, it's his responsibility!" Jackie said as he put his hat onto the janitor and left the rec center. "Good day to you sir!"

Jerri and the janitor walked up to what was just made. It was a more detailed version of the sculpture Jade made. Jerri smiled in rejoice.

"You sir, are the greatest artist who ever lived!"
