Your child has gotten into a fight. Please come down to the school.

Well wasn't this nostalgic?

It wasn't as if he needed to try all that hard at all to get all the facts. Children were never as smart as they thought they were and could be scared rather easily.

So he casually dropped or suggested what their parents would say or do if they found out their children were antagonizing the younger siblings of the elements. Of how the town might react? Children's over reactive imagination made a great tool in psychological warfare.

It was never something he could claim to be proud of, but using the excuse, so and so is just a child tended to lose its meaning when those of ages were not all created equal. Some were capable of merely breaking a window. Others were capable of small scale genocide or untold property damage.

Naruto had learned a long time ago that the world was not just shades of black or white or even of grays. It was compromised of all colors or hundreds of shades.

"They are just children Naruto. You went a little too far." Cheerilee told him with a disapproving gaze.

"I did not harm them Cheer. Just the equivalent of one step above the common threat of informing their parents."

"They are just children and should be disciplined as such. Not cowed with psychological threats." she argued.

"Some children are hard-headed. Some children need to learn. And from what I hear some in particular get a free pass." He replied as a scowl formed on Cheerilee's lips.

"Now you know that is not true. I do everything I can to help correct the behavioral problem of all my students."

"And you can only do so much Cheer. Especially when you do not invest the time to get to learn the whole story." He had been the first to arrive after all. Cookie, Ditzy, and Hondo not too long after to pick up Dinky, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom. Per the blond's urging he asked them to listen to the whole story before jumping the gun and punishing the crusaders. The only one was in anyway admonished was Applebloom for being the one to attack first, but was left off easy considering the nature of how the CMC was provoked.

It had seemed for a short time Diamond Tiara had left the Crusaders alone, but it appears she was only biding her time. She now had her own small little group of cronies like any popular girl in a schooling establishment tend to develop.

And they seemed intent on picking on Sweetie Belle. They were calling her names like Lizard lover and lizard whore. No matter how cruel children could be, these taunts they had to have pick up from somepony. One of them had snatched the fire ruby from Sweetie's neck and that's when the other girls got involved and it turned into a brawl. It seemed the hostility between the CMC and Diamond Tiara's group was escalating.

Naruto had hoped now that the girl's had Cutie Marks that little issue would have faded in the wayside, but now it seemed their was some other issue behind the filly's rationale to antagonize the CMC.

"Tell Rich he needs to keep his daughter in line or something will be done." He didn't mean for it to come out as so much of a threat. He had no plans to harm the child, but any declaration by him which would be used to hurt the rich's public image would definitively spur the stallion to become a bit more interested in his daughter's personal life.

Cheerliee could tell by the firmness in his voice he meant business. "I'm going to talk to Filthy Rich tomorrow, but we cannot keep having these problems." It was one thing for there to be verbal insults and put downs, but physically harming each other was another matter altogether.

"I will talk to Scootaloo don't worry, but you need to be more attentive Cheer. These children's futures are shaped by the experiences around them during this confusing period of growth for them. I will not let their flames be snuffed out by somepony's misguided attempt to be the sun when nothing about them suggests that said pony deserves it. You have a good heart and you want to see them all exceed, but sometimes tough love is the only answer. "

"I will do my best, but there is only so much I can do. I hope you realize that right."

Naruto hoped that next time he was called down it would be to celebrate an achievement instead of bemoaning the after effect of a disaster.

"You're not in trouble Scoot." The walk home had been rather quiet as Scootaloo refused to look at him.

"Its just…I couldn't stand by and nothing. She's my friend and those cowards were ganging up on and too k her fire ruby."

"I understand just how important loyalty to your friends, but do not let it control you to the point you end up doing reckless and foolish things. Also this isn't looking good for my case if you're having behavioral problem at school."

"Yeah, guess so."

Naruto couldn't help but shake his head. It was going to be an uphill battle, but he was going to show the Pegasus that he was going to be there for her and that he was taking his role as foster father seriously.

That was when somepony whoosed above them. "Calling all pegasus ponies! Meeting tonight!" It was Rainbow Dash and she was raining down flyers.

"Mandatory meeting for all Ponyville pegasi." Naruto heard a Pegasus read nearby.

"Library, tonight. Be cool, or be mule." Rainbow continued, dumping all of the papers in her sack and flying near a mule. "No offense."

"None taken." He replied.

Hhm, speaking of Pegasus he hadn't spent much time with Fluttershy lately. He should probably go spend some time with later this evening. But right now he needed to get Scootaloo home, help her with her home work and cook a nutritious dinner for the both of them. It may not how he had pictured the situation, but then again not knowing certain things always opened the path to adventure.

"Don't worry… I'll be right by your side…" Sure enough Naruto found that his instinct had been right to check up on Shy.

Naruto approached Rainbow. "Hey Rain, Shy is…"

"I know," She cut him off. She was used to Fluttershy's escape attempts whenever this came up. "Just come on in."

"Let's go." Rainbow led them towards the house. "The presentation's about to start." She flew inside.

As soon as they were inside, Fluttershy and Naruto sat at the back of the room. A film began playing as the lights were turned off. Once the countdown was complete, a black horse with wings was depicted on the screen and old music played. After, the announcer in the film began speaking.

"Every living thing depends on the life-giving nourishment of rainwater, and it is up to Cloudsdale to provide rain-filled clouds to every corner of Equestria." As the announcer spoke, the film depicted small choppy drawings in order to allow every pony watching to understand. "But how, one pony might ask, does Cloudsdale gather all this extra water? Tornado power! That's right, pegasi-driven tornado power. A team of pegasi combine their wing power to create a jumbo tornado, powerful enough to pull water out of the local reservoir, and funnel it all the way up to Cloudsdale. Remember, pegasi, your jumbo tornado must reach a minimum of eight hundred wing power to lift that water up to Cloudsdale. So, the next time you're wondering "Where does all that extra rainwater come from?" Just remem...'

Everything in the film suddenly halted in a distorted way. This caused for the ponies watching to return confused chatter. When the lights turned on, they turned our heads to see a stallion having some trouble with the projector as there was film spread everywhere in a mess. "Uh... intermission?" He shrugged.

"So, here's the scoop." Rainbow Dash announced in front of them "Cloudsdale has chosen our own highland reservoir as a source of the rainwater they need for all of Equestria. And you know what that means. It means it's up to Ponyville's pegasi to bring that water up to Cloudsdale." She received excited chatter from the crowd. "Not only that, but Spitfire," She pulled down a poster, depicting Spitfire. "…captain of the Wonderbolts, will be here to oversee the water transfer and record our top tornado windspeed. Now last year," She pulled down a chart. "…Fillydelphia broke the windspeed record with a top speed of nine hundred and ten wing power." I would have never known… "But I think we can do better." She pulled down another chart that I assumed was supposed to be us. "I think we can get a top speed over a thousand!" This increased the excited chatter in the crowd even more. Naruto looked over to see Fluttershy and notice her beginning to become uncomfortable. "...if each and every pony trains, and trains hard to get their wing power numbers up." There was coughing. "That coughing better be from a popcorn kernel, Thunderlane. Nopony's getting sick on my watch. So, are we gonna train hard?"

"Yeah!" The Pegasi cheered.

"Are we gonna be strong?"

"Yeah!"

"Are we gonna be fast?"

"Yeah!"

Naruto affectionately rubbed Fluttershy's arm. Her weak flying ability was not something they spent a good deal amount of time on.

"Record-smashing fast?" She asked Bulk Biceps.

"YEAH!" He emphasized loudly.

"Who's with me?"

The crowd cheered loudly. As they cheered, Fluttershy quickly grabbed his hand and caused me to give her my full attention.

"Naruto…I want to go now…please…" She whispered.

"Alright." He replied as they left.

They made their trip back to the cottage in near silence. When they arrived to the cottage he simply held her and allowed her so she could bear out her fears and memories to him.

"I promise you shy I will support you every step of the way and if anypony wants to tease you then I'll just show up looking all imposing and scare'em back in line."

"I was not aware being a bouncer was on your list of talents." She said as she nuzzled against his neck.

""Alright sassy shy you keep that up I might have to discipline you with a little spanking." He teased her.

Fluttershy gasped and was practically blushing all over. And to her surprise she found she did not disagree with the idea.

Naruto raised an eyebrow as Fluttershy's wings extended slightly. "Oh my you naughty filly."

Fluttershy, promptly eeped and hid her face behind her promptly let out a squeal as he dragged her onto his lap and began nestling against her neck. Her soft fur tickling his nose slightly.

Once done playing the two laid on the couching facing each other. "Don't worry Shy I'll help you get up to standard. You just got to believe in yourself okay?"

She managed to smile lightly. "Okay." She paused, as if unsure how to answer this question. "Um…will you be sleeping over? N-No nevermind, forget I suggested anything. You have to look after Scootaloo so of course you have to go home."

"Actually." Naruto grinned. "I am a copy with a battery long battery. I am all yours tonight.

"I-In that case…can we…can we cuddle?" she asked, her voice lowering to an adorable shy whisper.

"My word Miss Fluttershy being so blunt and forward with your intentions. At least take me out for dinner first." He teased her expecting her to shy away more only to get a response from the pegasi in return.

"W-With the money I have in my money now I…I wouldn't be able to afford it." She let out a squeal as she was tossed over the blond's shoulder.

"I warned you. Fifty spankings for ye!" He declared in a faux pirate accent.

"Nooo." Fluttershy wailed while trying to ignore the bubbling excitement building up in her. Tonight was going to be rather interesting.

Hot Streak, a mare both impulsive and head strong was itching for a fight. She was in the training room with several of the soldiers. Bored. Waiting for the chance to put her power to the test.

Two members of her squad passing by were discussing the local happenings in the area. What left of the specialist in their forces were organized into squads and currently being trained for the big assault.

Midnight and that Shadowfright creature were seeking to free more of its brethren, a Jerome something? Hot Streak didn't pay much attention.

"…Spitfire in Ponyville?"

That drew Hot Streak's attention.

"A mare that talented in a back water town?"

"Its home to some of the Nightmare's greatest enemies. You do well not to forget."

"Meh, just put magical bomb scrolls in their homes, problem solved."

"Fool, as if they haven't already put protection on their homes for such a thing. Stupid suggestions like that is why you haven't gone far within our organization."

"You are one to talk Willow we're of the same rank."

"I care little for rank all I do is for the sake of her majesty. Still, I hold respect for Spitfire. Few Pegasi are that talented. There is hardly a pony alive aside from the Princesses who can probably hold a…"grrk.

Willow's friend let out horrified screams as her companion was pinned to the wall via a blade. Her life was snuffed out in an instance.

"Spit…fire…" the words left Hot Streak's mouth like that of a crazed snarl. She seemed to be trembling with rage. "I am better…I am the one….I should have been chosen…not her…not…her." She summoned her arm as a red haze seeped from it. Transformed and clad in armor as she was filled with one single minded desire. Kill Spitfire.
