Smolder: Ugh! History! That’s the last class I want to have extended

Gallus: History isn’t that bad. We all learn a thing from history.

Smolder: Such as?

Yona: Dragon learnt not to listen to young ponies asking about fire breath.

Sandbar: That was only a few weeks ago.

Ocellus: Technically it’s counts as “recent history”,.

Silverstream: If I write “history” twice on a page, does it mean I have rewritten history?

Sandbar: That seems like a far safer way to do it than time travel…

Starlight Glimmer: On that we can agree.

Twilight Sparkle: And longer history lessons sounds like a WONDERFUL idea!

Smolder: *facedesk*

Silverstream: What’s so confusing?

Sandbar: I don’t know how this thing works? How do I move it?

Silverstream: You move it like you’d normally move your flipper!

Yona: Pony no have flipper.

Silverstream: *pouts* Well it wasn’t hard for me to learn to walk again when we returned to the surface. Maybe just imagine your hind legs are tied together and wiggle like a worm!

Gallus: I guess having brand new limbs and the like would be a bit confusing for the first time you experience it. What do you th-

Smolder: I’m still not doing it. Don’t even think of asking

Gallus: Dang. What about you ‘cell? How do you adapt to changing form?

Ocellus: Changelings don’t really have any issues with adapting to their hosts bodies except in infancy.

Sandbar: Come on! Put those big wings to use! Flap!

Gallus: You are at least FOUR times my weight right now!

Smolder:  I guess you could say that Gallus is really a featherweight

Ocellus: *giggles* That’s n-not funny!

Yona: Yes! Griffon has weight of feather!

Gallus: Yeah well, At least I managed to survive the weekend without passing into a sugar coma.

Silverstream: Wait! I didn’t go into a sugar coma!

Smolder: Because we locked all the chocolate away from you. We’re not repeating last year.

Silverstream: Awww…

Yona: Friends did it for Silverstream’s own good.

Sandbar: *belches*

Yona: Why would Yona break Sandbar? Ponies too dramatic.

Sandbar: I’m just used to being either clawed or burnt or bitten by you guys…

Silverstream: Don’t forget hugged!

Ocellus: Do we really  do all that stuff to you?

Gallus: Sandbar’s just being a worrywart. I get all that stuff done to me too and I turned out alright!

Smolder: *snerks* Sure you did. Although Yona, you did also hit Sandbar with a log that one time. That may have given the poor colt a complex…

Yona: Yona was demonstrating Yakyakistani Ironwood. Sandbar understands Ironwood strength now.

Smolder: “Maths and Stuff”

Yona: What Dragon mean?

Smolder: *points* Her book. “Maths and Stuff”. Sounds like a very generalised book to have such an…. advanced topic inside.

Gallus: Yeah, Kinda like having a book about colouring with a section on light refraction through prisms…

Ocellus: Light refraction? Since when were you studying physics?

Gallus: Since I realised that there are an awful lot of objects in Equestria which enjoy landing on me.

Sandbar: Not to mention, defying the laws of physics

Silverstream: Discord?

Sandbar: *nods sagely* Discord

Ocellus: Yay! Coral has come to visit! Come play with Auntie Silver and Auntie ‘Celly

Gallus: Y’know. That’s the only time I’ve heard her refer to herself as ‘Celly. It looks like you’re rubbing off on her Silver.

Silverstream: Good! Want to come see our classroom Corry?

Coral: *nods eagerly*

Yona: Why Sandbar not bring sister more often? Yona enjoys giving Yakback-rides!

Sandbar: She’ll be starting school in a few weeks. Mum wants her to develop a proper routine before then.

Smolder: So visiting us isn’t considered good enough for a routine?

Sandbar: She wants to limit the amount of times she has to wipe a stallions weight in mud off of her on a weekly basis…

Yona: *hmph* Spoilsport!

Sandbar: I mean, they don’t even put up a fight anymore!

Gallus: We’ve accepted the futility of resistance, clearly.

Silverstream: Good boy! *pats Gallus’ head*

Yona: Griffon can learn new tricks!

Smolder: Hmph! Well I’m not going to give in to such cushiness so easily!

Ocellus: Liar *giggles* You love it as much as the rest of us. I can feel it.

Sandbar: Aww. Spoilsport. You weren’t this grumpy when we played cavalry battle last week.

Gallus: THIS week Yona is our opponent. I’d rather forfeit  than risk a concussion.

Yona: Griffon is learning Yak superiority.

Gallus: I’m more than aware of what happens when bird hits cliff-face thankyouverymuch.

Silverstream: Yeah! We’re an awesome team Yonaaaa!

Smolder: Hey ‘Cell. Next time we’re against the boys, turn into a Yak!

Ocellus: Mhmm! Sounds like a plan!

Sandbar: Ponyfeathers…

Smolder: WHY DID NOCREATURE TELL ME? I was out like this for the whole day!!

Gallus: We thought you were trying out a new look.

Yona: Yona thought the reason was Griffon was scared Dragon would cook him.

Gallus: Yeah, that too.

Smolder: Silver! ‘Cellus! Why didn’t you two say something?

Ocellus: I-I’ve been in the library all day! I left before you even got up

Silverstream: Say what? Oh hey Smoldy! You have something on your face!

Smolder: *faceclaw*

Sandbar: Never underestimate a ponies affinity for wanton doodling.

Silverstream: Sandbar would make an amazing changeling! He really does look like the professors!

Ocellus: I could find some flaws in that. He’s lacking horns and wings for a start.

Gallus: Myeh. Details! That can be fixed with some cardboard and sellotape.

Smolder: We should try and find some other hairstyles for him to wear! Maybe see how he could pull off a Silverstream!

Silverstream: Oh my goodness! Yes! All my yes!

Yona: Ooh! Try Yona hair! Sandbar will make great yak!

Sandbar: I will strike when you least suspect it. And my wrath will be terrible.
