Jackson Michaels
[At school…]
“Students, take your seats….uh at least as best you can as we seem to be having issues with everything in the room, or something to that extent,” said Hackney rather puzzled.
“Where are all the desks?” asked Melody.
“They’ve been replaced by bars of soap,” remarked Bright Eyes.
“That can’t end well at all,” moaned Clover.
“You said it, this can’t even be remotely safe,” said Bon Bon.
“I say, Ms Hackney, what on earth is going on here?” asked Michaels.
“Aren’t you the king of pony pop?” asked Starlight.
“Naw, you just got me confused with my twin, MJ. He was the true king of pony pop. I just helped him out for a while. The name’s Jackson Michaels by the way,” explained Michaels.
“What happened to him? Are you still friends with him?” asked Melody.
“I would be if he didn’t have a tragic end to his life at 50. I tried warning him about the overdose but he insisted that he needed it to stay alive. Still occasionally brings a tear to my eye every once in a while,” replied Michaels.
“Oh how tragic. I feel truly sorry,” said Sweetheart.
“Thank ya kindly, but, harsh as it may sound, where he was headin’, there wasn’t much of a point to him livin’ that bad a life. Kinda like when your pet is in trouble. No need for it to keep sufferin’, just let it go,” answered Michaels.
“It’d be just the most awful thing if I had to lose one of my friends,” said Clover.
“Well, gotta run, Ms Hackney. I must say, this class of yours is pretty decent,” said Michaels.
“Well I do educate them to the finest,” said Hackney. *Michaels walks out*
“Bye,” waved the class.
“Uh-oh, I’m moving,” said Melody.
“Where are you moving to, Melody?” asked Sweetheart.
“No, I’m sliding away from my spot in the classroom,” explained Melody. *The others reach out and bring her back, then begin sliding around themselves, crashing into one another*
“Oh dear, I can’t let this happen to my students. Class, if you can get up, I’m dismissing class today because I can’t teach if you all can’t focus and you all can’t focus unless things are normal here,” said Hackney. *The class struggles to get up but falls*
“Okay, on three we get up together by holding hooves. 1…….2……..3!” exclaimed Bright Eyes. *The class rises to their feet with minor struggling*
“What will I do now?” asked Hackney. *she puts her hooves on her head* [Later that day….]
“Boy am I sore,” said Melody rubbing her sides.
“I never thought that class would be so painful,” said Bon Bon.
“Not exactly the kind of adventure I long for,” remarked Patch.
“What’re we supposed to do now? We can’t go inside our homes because we can’t even get to the front door. We took a boat to get to school,” questioned Starlight.
“Can’t that same boat take us back home?” suggested Sweetheart.
“Don’t know how much good that’d do when we can’t even get into our own homes,” said Bright Eyes. [Up on a cloud…]
“Your problems are only the beginning, dear fillies. Wait until you see what else is in store,” said Discord. [Back on Ponyville grounds…]
“Well we could always eat our way into Melody’s house,” suggested Patch.
“Ugh, there’s no telling how long that’s been there,” remarked (Rarity).
“Actually it’s only been there a day,” added Twilight.
“That’s a day longer than I’d want to eat that for,” muttered (Rarity).
“I went and got my potion of juice. Might as well use it with no better excuse,” said Zecora coming over.
“What’s it do, Zecora?” asked Applejack.
“Why it’s simple as you’ll see. It’ gets rid of food you don’t eat,” explained Zecora.
“I won’t have a house then,” protested Melody.
“You barely have a house now, Melody,” stated Bright Eyes.
“Discord must be stopped early so that any further damage is prevented,” thought Twilight.
