"Sis wake up!" Chip said nudging his sister out of her pink bed. Strawberry groaned and opened an eye lid to see her brother already dressed for their first day of school.

"What...What time is it?" She asked hiding under the quilt in hope to go back to sleep.

"Well I don't know but mum and dad aren't up yet so I thought we would surprise them by being ready now!" Chip explained enthusiastically jumping up and down. Strawberry frowned, got out of bed and opened a window.

"See Chip it is still dark out! I am going to bed wake me up when dad gets up!" Strawberry said knowing that Discord is the last person up in the household every Monday morning. Chip scowled and crept back to his bed to sulk.

"I just wanted to give them a surprise!" Chip exclaimed his face going red with anger. Strawberry sympathetically looked at her brother.

"And it was oh so very kind of you my sweet brother!" She lied tucking him into his bright blue bed. He laughed when she made him fell like a caterpillar inside a cocoon.

"Thanks sis!" Chip yawned as he snuggled down to sleep.

"Anything for my bro!" Strawberry mumbled getting comfy in her own bed. They slept for 7 more hours until the cockerel woke them.

"Kids get up!" Fluttershy shouted shaking her twins out of bed. They grumbled but realised what day it was.

"Is it time for school?" Asked Chip excitedly and his mother nodded. He jumped out of bed and retrieved his pre-ready rucksack.

"Wait who got your bag ready?" Fluttershy questioned reminding herself she didn't do it.

"Ummm... Fairies!" Chip explained but his mother didn't look a bit convinced.

"Really? So you didn't get up halfway through the night, get dressed, have breakfast and sorted out your bag?" Asked Fluttershy looking accusingly at her son. He gulped knowing he had been found out and nodded guiltily.

"That is true mum he woke me up to get dressed to but I was smart and looked outside the window!" Grassed Strawberry and Chip scowled at her.

"Your gonna get your cutie mark in grassing ponies up!" Chip said angrily glaring at his sister. She glared back at her.

"Yeah well you are gonna get yours for never getting up at the right time!" Strawberry growled at him. Fluttershy stood in shock.

"How can you say those things about each other! Now both of you to the kitchen to see your father!" Shouted Fluttershy so she could be heard above their arguing!

"Okay!" The twins said in unison.

"Hey my two foals today we have fried eggs and bacon!" Discord said but frowned when he saw the annoyed looks his children were sharing.

"Mum can I sit near you please?" Asked Chip seating himself next to his mum.

"I don't see why not but what about your sis...!" Began Fluttershy.

"Dad can I sit near you?" Interrupted Strawberry settling herself down next to Discord who looked stunned.

"Sure thing now what has happened between you two?" Questioned Discord looking at the foals angrily.

"Strawberry grassed up on me!" Chip said.

"Look I am so sorry Chip but I will be even more sorry of you apologise for being mean to me!" Strawberry said and Chip smiled at his sister.

"I apologise sis!" Chip said. Fluttershy and Discord exchanged glances of happiness. The family then ate and got ready for their day.

Chip and Strawberry got many confused glances as they walked across the playground and not just from foals but their parents too. They went over to the swing set and were soon approached by a tan coloured pony with a white mane that was short and spikey.

"What are freaks like you doing in a foals playground!" He said in his posh high class voice. The twins looked at each other worriedly.

"We are not freaks just because we have a lion's paw, claws, a sharp tooth, horns and bat wings!" Chip protested glaring at the posh stallion in front of them.

"You are freaks look how different you are from everyone else! Look here every one there is a couple of freaks!" Shouted the upper class colt. Suddenly all the foals crowded round and started chanting freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Then a white pony with a red plaited mane jumped out in front of them.

"Shut up ya flea ridden varmints!" The country pony said. It was none other than Apple Bloom's cousin Ariane (named after a French dessert apple). She wore a cowboy hat like her aunt Applejack.

"Look who is calling us flea ridden!" Mocked the ring leader of the cruelty.

"Ya what of it?" Ariane asked spitting in his face. The posh colt fled away screaming.

"Thanks Ariane!" Strawberry said hugging her friend.

"Anything for ya guys!" Ariane said smiling at the twins. Then a light blue colt with white frizzy hair came running out of the bushed and bumped into Ariane.

"Oh my! I am so sorry I am as clumsy as my mother Trixie!" The foal said looking down.

"Ahh don't ya worry 'bout it!" Ariane said helping him up.

"My name is Rick!" He said shaking hooves with every pony.

A friendship group was formed.
