Smolder: You look like a girl.

Sandbar: Well so do you! *pokes tongue out*

Smolder: … I am a girl

Sandbar: Wait… really?

Smolder: I know you’re trying to be funny - but remember: you’re looking very crystally right now. And I haven’t eaten anything today…. yet.

Gallus: And that, Professor, is why Sandbar is now a pile of ash.

Ocellus: Getting your alibi in order already?

Gallus: Doesn’t hurt. Gotta have a backup plan, y’know?

Yona: But Smolder right. Pony mane does look like girl mane.

Silverstream: Well Sandbar always did spend a lot of time making his mane just right every morning.

Ocellus: I mean, really! It’s really bad. I don’t even have holes in my legs!

Sandbar: Well yeah, I know that, I had to get the changeling vibe somehow. 

Yona: Sandbar didn’t really try hard, did he?

Sandbar: Hey! That’s not fair. I even have her carapace segments!

Gallus: Drawn badly in ink.

Silverstream: Well I like it Sandbar! You’re even pinning your ears back to look like Celly’s!

Smolder: Told ya the ear thing would pay off!

Sandbar: It did, but focusing on holding them down is surprisingly harder than it looks.

Ocellus: *grumbles* I don’t know if I should feel insulted that you think my elytra are box shaped too *pouts*

——-

The Students will be back on 21st October after their field trip! There may be an update next week though if you do your homework <3

Ocellus: So that explains why you weren’t out after school with the rest of us.

Smolder: *grumbles* How was I supposed to know that stupid gem was Spike’s?

Yona: If Smolder found gem, why Smolder not hand in to lost and found?

Smolder: Because this is Equestria! You can find Gems on the ground like you find grass on a field. I just thought it was there!

Ocellus: I guess anyone could make that sort of mistake…

Gallus: Good job showing restraint though.

Smolder: Bite me, Pigeon.

Silverstream: Hey! That’s Cat-Pigeon to you!

Gallus: Please don’t interject on my behalf. It never goes well.

Sandbar: Look on the bright side. Your feathers are still room temperature! I’d beat a hasty retreat though, G.

Gallus: Why do we even follow that many people?

Silverstream: Why not? Everyone who follows us deserves to be followed in kind!

Yona: But if we follow followers, we just walk in circles.

Smolder: Like proud multicoloured sheep.

Sandbar: Oooh, speaking of multicoloured sheep, are you looking forward to our field trip next week to the Crystal Empire?

Ocellus: Oh! I know I definitely am! it’s going to be so exciting to see the crystal heart! I’ve read so much about it

Gallus: You’re just in it for the love aura it emits.

Ocellus: Don’t judge me!

Yona: So what if food looksh shtrange! Food tastesh great! *munches*

Gallus: Swallow, I beg of you, before speaking

Yona: *blushes* Sorry!

Silverstream: I think it’s nice!

Sandbar: Spraying your food?

Silverstream: No, silly. That they put effort into each of our meals! it’s like they really care about us!

Smolder: But how do they find the time to do all of this? I can understand doing one or two, but for every student?

Ocellus: Don’t be such a wet blanket! If I’ve learnt anything from coming here, it’s that anything is possible!

Gallus: No matter how unrealistic

Smolder: Why are you winking?

Yona: *winks*

Silverstream: Seriously! You know something, don’t you. I want to know too! Sandbar! Translate!

Sandbar: *winks*

Ocellus: I’m a little bit confused.

Gallus: *winks*

Silverstream: ITS SPREADING! Everycreature save yourselves!!! *flies away*

Sandbar: 10 seconds.

Ocellus: Huh?

Gallus: How long until Silver breaks. 10 seconds.

Smolder: That’s cold, dude

Yona: *blinks* Yona sorry. Yona just had something in her eye. Where friend Silverstream go?

Sandbar: Why are you holding a book in the photo allowing you to take books out?

Gallus: She’s a little thief, clearly

Ocellus: *pouts* Nuh! That’s my book. I took it to the library for cross-referencing.

Smolder: Nerds

Silverstream: Don’t be silly Smoldy. You were next in line. I saw you!

Smolder: *grumbles* Just wanted a book containing maps of nearby gem caves s’all…

Yona: Yona doesn’t have Library card. Should Yona get one?

Ocellus: Oh yes! There’s so much useful information in the library that you could lear-

Yona: But why can’t Yona just ask you. You know it all.

Gallus: *whispering to Sandbar* Check

Ocellus: B-because then you could find what you want.

Yona: But you know it already

Ocellus: W-well….

Sandbar: *hoofbumps Gallus* And mate

Sandbar: I mean, duh. I’m a pony. We’re all cute and cuddly. Comes with the territory

Silverstream: *puffs cheeks* but Yona is so fluffy! And just look at Gallus’ feathers! They’re so soft! It seems being a pony is just cheating!

Gallus: Since when did you feel my feathers? Wait, I don’t actually want to know. What I do know is that someone is getting a little pudgy there. *prods Sandbar’s belly*

Ocellus: Maybe you could go join the Running of the Leaves in the coming months. Our professors said it is always really fun to take part. And they even have medals.

Yona: Medals? Medals for which creature is best? Yaks best! Yona will enter race!

Smolder: I think I’ll just sit this one out. If the rules say I can’t fly, I can’t beat you lot.

Gallus: Don’t worry. We’ll be going slow anyway because of Sir Pudge-alot

Sandbar: Hey! Quit it.

Gallus: Sure thing Sandbag.

Sandbar: *pouts*

Yona: Why Dragon not like Dentist. Dentist will help get better.

Smolder: Dragons don’t DO dentists. *winces* We do it naturally.

Gallus: So sacrificing your dignity and ripping the carpet is “Natural” to you.

Sandbar: Sounds about right. So what did she do?

Silverstream: Ooooh! did she pull it out? The good old tooth and door trick!

Ocellus: Maybe she did some intricate cavity filling for the cracked tooth! Tell us! *bounces*

Smolder: Um… she used magic? That’s what you ponies do to solve all your problems, right?

Gallus: Huh. That’s surprisingly underwhelming…

Ocellus: Aaaaiee. stopstopstopstop!!!

Smolder: Never!

Gallus: No weak spots my padded paw! You’re ticklish all over.

Ocellus: Sillveerr! Halp!

Silverstream: *munching on popcorn* Sorry ‘Celly. You suggested I was ticklish - which I totally am not. You’ve forsaken me in this conflict!

Ocellus: *whines* Yonaaaaa

Sandbar: Yona can’t help you ‘Cell. It’s her turn in O&O to be the Game Princess. She takes her task very seriously

Yona: Yes! Yona will help once she finishes this amazing secret Yak ambush scenario!

Sandbar: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that, in that case.
