Author's Notes:

First off, I want to get something off my chest.

I've been away from my usual stories for a while now, due to a holiday I took on the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship, and the Wi-Fi in some places was appalling. So I waited patiently to come back to England, and I thought I'd come back in style.

This is gonna have the same amount of cuteness as my AR fics, but there's no Age-Regression involved in this, they're young to begin with, so it's cuteness all the way.

Also, a new first. This is no doubt the first Equestria Girls-iverse Padded Pony fic, and I'm hoping this will leave a lasting impression on you guys. Your opinions on this fic are much needed so I can tweak it in future chapters.

And a little bit of extra stuff, while I was on holiday. The X-Club Teen Club gave me a Dance Central 3 addiction as well as a Minecraft addiction. I just wanted to make that clear for you guys to hear.

Without further ado, Enjoy!

Twilight Velvet and Starlight Sparkle opened the doors of the Ponyville Kindergarten, and helped their daughter, Twilight Sparkle through them. Holding her hands, Velvet and Starlight helped Twilight to walk, as her initial walking on her own skills needed... a little work.

"I just hope we're making the right decision here, honey." Starlight turned to Velvet as they walked up to a receptionist's desk in the room. There was a bell used for calling the receptionist over, and Starlight used his free hand to ring it. "She knows none of the kids here. I'm a little concerned whether or not she'll be treated as a friend."

"Oh, lighten up, Starlight." Velvet said in a playful tone. "They've all got roughly the same age and mental capabilities here. No matter how smart or stupid they are, they're all still only toddlers, and will gladly see Twilight as one of their own."

"Will I get to study, like in Starswirl Village?" Twilight asked, her voice still higher, but not infant high.

"Of course you will, Twilight." Velvet looked down and smiled at her. "And on the way, you'll be able to make some friends and play with them as well."

"Fwiends?" This confused little Twilight greatly, back in Starswirl Village's Kindergarten, she was always isolated with her many books and pages, she'd never even heard of the concept of friendship before she moved to Harmony. "I dun get it."

Velvet sighed. "Friends, your punctuation still needs a little work, my darling little Sparkle." Velvet was just playing with her daughter's cheeks now, an action which caused Twilight to giggle. "Don't worry if you mis-pronounce or mispell it. That's what this school is meant to teach you, as well as a few other important lessons."

As Twilight and Velvet continued to play with one another, a receptionist with a white hairstyle walked up to Starlight. This receptionist was wearing some sleeveless clothes, making her look like an athlete of some sort.

"It's nice to meet you, sir." She said, flipping up her sunglasses. "Do you want to enroll your kids here, or drop them off?"

"Yes, please, ma'am. My name is Starlight Sparkle, and I would like to enroll my daughter Twilight Sparkle into your kindergarten." Starlight said firmly as Velvet walked Twilight over to the receptionist.

"Alright, Starlight..." She was writing in a little book, to keep track of the students and their parents. "And Twilight Sparkle as the kid. Might I ask for your wife's name please? Just so we can make double sure that little Twilight has a mom and a dad."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Fleetfoot. My name is Twilight Velvet." She said as Fleetfoot wrote the name down. "Might I ask you something? Aren't you supposed to be a part of the Wonderbolts Athletics Team?"

"Yeah, but they said I needed a break, said I was pushing my limits too far." Fleetfoot wrote Twilight Velvet underneath Starlight's full name. "So what better way to spend my off time, then making a little extra money on the side?" She finished writing the name and then closed the book quickly, causing Twilight to grin. "Alright, you're all set up, let's get Twilight to her classroom."

Fleetfoot walked out of the desk and walked down the nearby corridor, with Velvet, Starlight and Twilight close behind her. There were many doors on their way, some having special nameplates, for the teachers' offices, no doubt. There were also some cartoonish drawings on a few doors, and some words drawn in crayon, no doubt to allocate the classrooms for the kids.

"Can I ask you one more thing before we get there, Fleetfoot?" Velvet decided to say.

"Sure, ask away." She grinned.

"Out of all the part-time jobs you could have picked, why did you choose to be the principal of a Kindergarten?" Velvet had a look on concern and interest showing.

"Don't tell Spitfire and Soarin this, but I personally love working with kids, especially babies and toddlers." Fleetfoot pulled Velvet close so that only she could listen. "Children can achieve so much in the future, as I've both seen and experienced. I just wanted to give them a little helping hand to achieving their full potential, as well as have a little fun with them at the same time."

The four humans then stopped at a door with pictures around the oak frame. These pictures looked crude and childish, a sign that this was a classroom, Twilight's new classroom. There were also some plastic letters on the door, making the word "Twinkles."

"Well, this is it. Twilight's new classroom for the next school year, the Twinkles." Fleetfoot took oiut a key and inserted it into the lock. "Sure it seems a little bit too much that we lock the classroom door when it's closed, but that's to make sure the kids are 100% safe, safe from anything that could do them harm." Fleetfoot unlocked the door, put the key back in her pocket and put one hand on the door, and the other hand on the handle. "Some of the kids might make a mad dash for freedom, so make sure you go in quickly."

The door was hastily opened, and once they saw inside, Velvet and Starlight walked Twilight in, enabling their daughter to see the new utopia for her and any friends she might make during her days here.

The room was lightly coloured all over, with every at least every basic colour being used. There was a nice stripey floor with shades of yellow and blue, a sight which made Twilight randomly let go of her parents' hands and begin to crawl all over it. Once she looked up, she saw the many activities and child-friendly furniture that surrounded her. There were at least 10 special chairs for the kids to climb up onto and sit down on, each one had a different design from the last, some chairs were occupied by some of the kids while the others were running around, squealing as toddlers would usually do, there were only a few sitting down on the floor and playing with toys and blocks, much to Twilight's surprise. There was only one bookcase, and it looked like no-one even used it, as they could play with one another instead. There were also a massive amount of beds in the corner with the bookcase, each one with different designs, so the kids could pick out which one they liked before being tucked in for a mandatory nap.

As Twilight began to explore her surroundings, making sure not to collide with any of the other kids, Fleetfoot walked in and shut the door behind her.

"Well, what do you think?" She asked Velvet and Starlight. "We've made sure the kids get what they expected: Nice comfy beds for naptimes, intelligible teachers to teach them right from wrong, and enough toys, books, games and blocks to keep them occupied for days on end."

Velvet was the first to speak and break their silence. "I like what you've done with the place." She cracked a smile as she saw the room around her. "It's a lot different than the last time I was here."

"Do you think we went a little overboard with the colours though? I mean I know it's supposed to soothe them, but I wonder if we used too much?"

"Calm down, Fleetfoot. It's fine." Starlight looked around the rest of the room, looking at a few other playful little children. "I'm sure they'll find this place. to be quite a peaceful environment for them all."

"Well, there's one more thing I have to do before I can let you get back to your house." Fleetfoot said as she began scoping out the room with her sharp eyes. "You've gotta meet Twilight's new teacher."

Fleetfoot walked over to a white-skinned woman with flowing pink locks of hair. She was over at what looked like a changing table, cleaning up after someone's mess. She was wearing a nice white uniform and had her hair tied back in a ponytail with a pink hair tie. After she was finished changing the kid and set him down on the padded floor again, she turned round to greet Fleetfoot, Velvet and Starlight.

"Hey, Twinkle." Fleetfoot greeted her colleague once she got close enough. "Not to interrupt, but I've got something to tell you."

"Fleetfoot, not that I don't mind but I'd like it if you called me TwinkleSHINE in the future. It's gonna make it a lot more convenient to be able to tell me apart from one of the kids." She said back with a stout look and a roll of her eyes.

"Sorry, I seem to forget that. Life of an all-star, you know." She said meekly with a few chuckles.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Twinkleshine said as she now noticed Velvet and Starlight next to Fleetfoot.

"I just wanted to give you a head's up, another new kid's gonna be joining your class today, as well as the other 5 you arranged to invite." She pointed over Twilight, who was, as usual, flipping through the pages of the books on the shelves.

"She looks so cute, the way her little hands keep turning the pages." Twinkleshine could not help but be smitten with little Twilight. "I hope her name is as cute as her appearance."

"According to the data that Mr and Mrs Sparkle have given us, her name is Twilight; Twilight Sparkle." Fleetfoot said, answering the question.

"Hmmm, not the name I was expecting, but I guess I'll take it." Twinkleshine walked over to examine her new pupil, who was in the middle of reading an interactive book with feelable surfaces for her to play with.

"Hello." She said lightly, causing Twilight to pull her face out of the papers and look up to her new teacher. "I'm gonna be your teacher now. If you find that comfortable." She said in a sweet tone, making Twilight believe Twinkleshine was a kind and caring woman.

"Who awe yoo?" Were the first words to spill out of Twilight's mouth.

"Oh, silly me." Twinkleshine chuckled to herself. "I'm Miss Twinkleshine, and with me around, I'll assure everyone of your days here will be pleasurable, educational, and most of all, fun!"

"Fun? Wat's dat?" Twilight asked, her head slightly tilted in confusion.

"You'll learn, soon enough." Twinkleshine then turned back to Velvet and Starlight, with a smile beaming. "I'm absolutely certain that Twilight here will get a great education and get a great head start on her road to graduation day."

"Okay, okay. Miss Twinkleshine, let's not pressure her now, not before the first lesson of the day." Velvet giggled to her as she walked over to the door with Fleetfoot and Starlight. "So, when does the class start?"

"Usually it would be in 5 minutes, giving the kids time to get some free play in, but it's gonna start in 10 minutes today, since it's the first day." She smiled as she looked at the register. "We're only waiting on 5 other kids to come today."

Fleetfoot opened the door and saw 15 more humans on the other side, five of them being the same height as Twilight, no doubt the 5 kids that Twinkleshine mentioned. And their parents, all sporting different hairstyles and clothing, were bearing smiles to see their kids off.

"Speaking of which. Here they are." Twinkleshine looked at each of the kids at the door with a smile on her face. The only similarities between the five of them, was they were all wearing diapers and small t-shirts. Each shirt having a different picture on it.

"Could you two call Twilight over? She's gotta see this." Fleetfoot asked Velvet and Starlight and they smiled, knowing that they would obey, gladly.

"Twilight! Come to mommy. I want you to meet someone." Velvet called to her daughter, who was about to open up another book and charge through the pages. When Twilight heard her mother's call, however, she rolled her eyes before dropping the book and heading over to Velvet, making sure to time it right to avoid the playing students.

"Twilight. I'd like you to meet the last 5 children joining the class today." Velvet said as Twilight stood up, with some help from Twinkleshine and Starlight, in order for her to meet the kids.

"Twilight, say hello to: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy." Fleetfoot crouched down and tapped each one gently on of the girls gently on their heads in order, causing them to bear small, yet distinguishable grins. "I'm sure you and these girls will get along quite nicely together, or my name isn't, Fleetfoot Of The Thousand Footballs." She smiled before placing an open hand to Twilight's ear and whispering into it. "Don't ask why the Wonderbolts gave me that nickname, it's just the way they seem to find my footballing skills right now."

The parents all had time to say their goodbyes to their respective children before letting Twinkleshine and Fleetfoot lead the 5 girls into the class, all of them passing Twilight as they went in.

"Alright, Twilight." Velvet leaned down to her daughter's height and whispered into it. "We'll be back to pick you up at 3:00PM. It's gonna be a while for now, so you might as well make some friends and play this time, instead of letting books take up all your time your time.

Twilight could only blush and hug her mother as she kissed Twilight on the forehead and got back to her feet and back up to Miss Twinkleshine. "Thank you for seeing us today, Miss Twinkleshine. I hope that Twilight has a wonderful time here." Shaking her hand, she went off to the door.

Fleetfoot was saying her goodbyes to Velvet, Starlight, and the rest of the parents of the Mane 6, before they went back out the door and on their respective ways home. Then, once Fleetfoot made her way back to the reception, Twinkleshine shut the door, walked over to an open area of the classroom and clapped her hands in a rhythmic fashion to call the children over to her.

No matter what the children were doing, or how loud they were doing it, they were still able to hear Twinkleshine's calling clap, and were all forming a semi-circle around her, the usual formation for kids in a kindergarten class.

"Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Twinkles!" Twinkleshine announced to all the children, who were now hanging on every word like moths drawn to a flame. "I'm your teacher, Miss Twinkleshine." She rapidly took and placed blocks down at a mind boggling speed, in order to spell it out for them. This was met by sounds of approval from the kids.

"She sounds pwetty fun." Said a girl with poofy pink hair who was sitting next to Twilight. Turning to the confused looking purple girl, she said, "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie." Before turning her attention back to Twinkleshine.

"I can absolutely guarantee each and every one of you the perfect education." Twinkleshine smiled as she pulled out a large ball bag from the cupboard behind her and set it down by her knees. "And with the things in this bag, I'm sure you'll find every lesson unforgettable."

"So wat's in da bag?" Fluttershy asked as she raised her hand, another classic trait of a Kindergarten class.

"All in good time." She lightly booped Fluttershy's nose, causing her to blush. "First I need to make sure that everyone is present and accounted for." She went over and grabbed a clipboard and pen, the clipboard had some sheets on it, no doubt to keep records of the students.

"Daisy?" Twinkleshine called out after reading the papers clearly.

"Hewe!" A small pink girl with blonde hair called out, her hand raised so that Twinkleshine could find her.

"Light Breeze?" She called out another name on the list she was holding.

"Hewe!" This time, it was a small grey-skinned boy with spiky orange hair.

Twinkleshine kept calling out names on the list. Every time receiving a "Hewe!" or a "Yes!" from the children. She was almost done, moving onto the final names.

"Pinkie Pie?" Twinkleshine smiled, knowing she was almost there and about to begin the day for real.

Pinkie was staring up to the ceiling for some reason, her mouth dropped in awe. "Oh, I'm hewe." Pinkie said, snapping out of her trance and returning back to her initial mind.

"A little longer than I expected but, ok." She smiled back at Pinkie, then turned back to her register. "There's only one more name here... Twilight Sparkle?" Calling out the last name, everyone turned to the purple girl and waited for her response.

Twilight didn't know what to do, she'd had register calls back in Starswirl Village, but here was another story. She had never been the last person to be called. "Uum, here." Her reaction was a little delayed and a tiny bit worried, but Twilight was still able to push it out, and as a reward, her class cheered for her.

"Alrighty then. That's everyone." Twinkleshine put the pen and clipboard away and opened the bag to dip into the contents inside. "Now then. Fluttershy asked me earlier on what's in this bag here, well I think I deserve to show you all."

She opened the sack wide and showed all the kids exactly what was inside. There were balls, each with a different lesson or activity drawn onto a small piece of paper attached to it. There were a few classic lessons on the papers such as "English" and "Math" and there were also a range of activities on the balls as well such as "Free Play" and "Drawing" The usual stuff.

"These balls will allow us to create each day's timetable completely from scratch." Twinkleshine explained to her students as she showed them the balls and then pulled out a little rack from the bag to keep them on. "We'll randomly pick the balls out of the bag, and then place them on this rack in order from left, to right. That way, we can make our days exciting!"

The class smiled at this little idea, leaving Twilight to ponder the limitless possibilities. She could get an entire day of studying if she was lucky, or maybe an entire day of this "Fun" she needed to discover..

Twinkleshine began dipping into the bag and pulling balls out, much to the excitement of the kids. In order, Twinkleshine pulled out balls that would make this day for them all: Finger Painting, Snack Time, Naptime, Math, Lunch, Free Play.

"I hope you all got what you liked for today." Twinkleshine said as the children took turns to check the balls on the rack, making up their schedule for today.

Most of them smiled, besides Twilight. She knew just by looking at this schedule, she wouldn't have time to catch up on her reading because of this timetable, and she was worried she might fall behind.

"Well, I'm not gonna keep you waiting any longer. Let's get on with the schedule for today." Twinkleshine looked at the rack carefully started with the ball on the far left, Finger Painting. She opened up a locked cabinet and pulled out small child-sized pots of paint, followed by a stack of paper for the kids to slap their paint-covered hands on.

"Follow me, everyone." Twinkleshine called to everyone, and they gladly obeyed. They tried their best at walking but only 2 or 3 could walk well, the rest of them had to crawl over.

Twinkleshine had led the students to a large round table, one that Twilight could have sworn she saw earlier but had just forgotten about it. As Twinkleshine dropped the items in the middle of the table, all the kids were taking their places on the chairs around the table. They were all child-sized chairs, to account for their current ages and sized, and there were enough of them to fit everyone on.

"First off, before we begin. I want to lay down a few rules for this particular activity." Twinkleshine said as she kneeled down to the students height to address the rules to them all. "First off, the paint is to be used for painting only. I know it does look inviting, but eating paint is actually very deadly for those who eat it."

"Secondly. If someone asks for a colour of paint, you're to give it to them immediately." This time she sounded a little serious. "I've been to other Kindergarten classes, and I'd hate it if you act selfish and greedy like them."

"If you break any of these rules, I have the authority from Principcal Fleetfoot to have the rule-breaker or breakers take a time out in the time out pen." She pointed to what looked like a play pen with more bars than usual and a higher frame so they couldn't attempt to climb out. "But I know how kind and obedient your parents have all made you out to be, so this should be no problem. So, are we gonna obey the rules?"

"Yes Miss Twinkleshine." Everyone in the class said, they were only two or three, but they still wanted to remain in Twinkleshine's good graces.

"Good." She smiled. "You may now begin."

The pots of paint were all opened and the children each took a piece of paper from the stack, they then took each of the pots they wanted to use and began to dip their fingers in it. Twilight however, was just sitting there, confused on what to do, until she was nudged by a white girl with very curly purple hair.

"Wat's wrong, Twiwight?" She asked her, as she was still finger-painting.

"I dun know. I've never really done anyting like dis before at my old Kindergarten class." Twilight explained as she was examining the pots of paint that were still there.

"Don't wowwy, about dat. I'ww show you," She said, knowing that no would not be an answer from this girl. "By da way, My name's Wawity. It's nice ta meet yoo, Twiwight."
