"Now kids who can tell me about photosynthesis when it comes to a ponies body?" You asked your class as the students look at each other all of them about 8 or 10 years old. Each of them had the magic of Flora and Fauna reaching excellent heights these kids tried their best to prove that the dying magic wasn't so dying.
"It's when ah ponies body is injured and day need ta heal demselves in da sunlight, day stand in direct sunlight and let da pollen in their palms of their hands travel ta da cut ta heal dem." Minerva correctly answered your question.
"Very good Minerva! You see a Flora and Fauna magic user's most important tool is the pollen they create. The pollen is a different type of pollen when it touches a wound of a pony or any kind of injures, the magic you all hold in you is special and helpful to a lot of ponies you haven't met. You could be great doctors, field medics or even florists."
"What do florist gotta do with this? I mean if we're special why do we gotta be florist?" One of your students asked
"Well everyone in the city or anyone in the world has a special talent, when a pony such as a florist creates a beautiful flower or bouquet the pony receiving the flower or bouquet helps their morale, which in turn helps them accomplish their job. You may not see it as important at your age, but ponies with talent are able to help anyone with anything no matter how small you think your talent is." All your students smiled as they looked at one another with excitement.
"This month's project as you may all know this month is The Summer Sun Festival. Celestia herself will be attending this festival and she asked me to show her a presentation of what you learned here. I want everyone to gather into a group of four in order to create an extravagant bouquet or flower, everyone will have to make some spectacular to show not only to the princess, but to everyone in the city. To show them the cheerfulness of your class. For now practice try and create a flower from thin air without any help from other substances." The students all nodded as everyone tried to create their own flowers. Each student seemed happy as they did their best with the magic they have.
Though it may have been weak everyone tried their very best, even if it meant some were less successful then others. Though you would never discourage them to try their very hardest.
Minerva for example was an extremely weak Flora and Fauna magic user, she strived to become the best and with your teachings she's been doing excellently.
"Mister Hart I need help." You heard one of your student say as she rose her hand.
Rising from your seat you crouch down next to her.
"What do you need help with Pure Hart?" You asked with a smile
Pure was an extremely enthusiastic student, a few years ago you began to talk to Minerva who introduced you to Pure. Pure was a sweet young filly who had the magic you had, though she never had parents you read her file and found out that her parents left her on the orphanage's doorstep. Of course she never knew her parents and never cared meeting them she was always happy-go-lucky to those she knew, but was extremely shy to anyone she never knew. After weeks of talking you found out she lived in a orphanage which made you slightly upset after more days of bonding you helped her unlock her potential floral magic with ease.
She was a unicorn filly with a silver and yellow mane, her mane style was like Rarity curly and elegant, and her coat was colored gold.
"Every time I try to make a flower it's always faded am I doing something wrong?" She asks with a frown
"Don't worry it happens to everyone, now I want you to put it under direct sunlight over there by the window and let the sunlight do it's magic." Pure nodded and walked over to the window sill placing the unblossomed flower on its side letting the flower blossom on it's own. The rest of your students rose from their seats and looked at the flower blossom their eyes were filled with amazement each child seem to enjoy seeing the amazement of nature.
"Well kids the bell's about to ring, what do you want to ask me." The students looked from the flower and at you.
"Mistah Hart how'd ya create Venus?" Minerva asked the students all agreed and asked the story about Venus's creation.
"Well it all started 10 years ago, I was about 10 years old and I was scared of entering this school, I felt that everybody besides me belong and every time I thought if the entrance exam I got scared and just stood there not saying a thing. Of course I was a kid and didn't much confidence in my abilities, but my mom told me something. I wouldn't accomplish anything if I stood there like everyone else following rules, I had to take a chance on myself. So I steeled and tried at it was nothing, but ashes on my hands. I tried again and well, a very strong explosion happened and a Rainboom occurred right when a bluish colored pollen appeared on my hand, it felt like time stopped as the pollen fell into a pot and it was silent then another boom sounded and the room next to my exam room sounded as if it exploded and my pot did the same. I was scared at what I created Venus a large carnivous flytrap appeared in front and all I thought was 'I created it.' I was scared my mother was almost attacked if I hadn't stopped Venus she listen to me, she cared for me, and she protected. Soon after Celestia appeared and calmed the gigantic flower from thrashing about. Venus was turned small by Celestia magic she told I could keep as a sigh of my completed and Ace entrance exam. Ever since then she's my loyal and trusted friend." Your students all looked up at you with amazement as they saw you as an amazing teacher.
Just then the bell rang signifying the end of the classes for the day, each child began to gather their personal items along with their experimental flowers.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Looking towards the front of the classroom door to see Celestia smiling as she entered the room.
"Oh hey Princess what's up?" You asked grabbing a few books that your student missed placed and placed them back to their selves.
"I simply wanted to check on you, you seemed happy these past few weeks."
"Well this week has been a little hectic with the celebration so I gotta keep a happy face for my students." Celestia simply nodded and looked around the classroom her eyes were on the blossomed flower made by your student approaching the flower she grabbed it and inspected it.
"This flower it looks like the one you made when we had our first class together." Glancing at the flower it was the exact same flower with striped white lines roaming all over the flower with a solid maroon color on it.
"Pure made that, it didn't blossom and she got upset I told her to place it near the window so it could ya know actually blossom." She nods and places it back to it's original place.
"I see that the foals haven't eaten you alive, you must be good with children." You let out a chuckle nodded.
"What can I say? Being a big brother to two little sisters and pseudo-brother it would be a breeze if you managed that." She gave you a small giggle before turning to entrance.
"Excuse me, but I have things to do goodbye." You nodded and went back to cleaning the classroom.
Later...
After cleaning the classroom and clearing the floor and few desk from the soil you passed around to help the foals plants grow you began grading homework, it was standard stuff like how many weeks does it take for a flower to bloom without magic. And What happens if you over water a flower that is extremely fragile and can't handle much water intake.
Though you were interrupted by a knock on your door, glancing up from your papers you saw that it was Dago. He wore a grandiose crown and cape that look tailor made for him.
"So how's the glamorous life of being a teacher for mom's school? Fulfilling as you thought?" He asks approaching one of the desk and sitting on the table of it.
"It's pretty fulfilling after all I'm teaching kids about a type of magic I'm advanced at." You informed smiling as he looks around the classroom.
"I never knew you'd be up for this type of job, I always expected that you'd be a guard or something much more glamorous. Maybe if you asked Celestia she'd knight you and make you an official prince, she'd be more then happy to actually do it." Letting out a small chuckle you shook your head.
"Nah I'd rather take care of a few kids rather then take care of a powerful nation, but thanks for the offer anyway." Dago nodded and approached your desk glancing at a picture he picked it up to see that it was a picture of you, Aria, and Adagio.
"How are Aria and Adagio? You're keeping them happy right?" He asks with a smirk.
"They're doing good, actually I lied they're doing a lot better if you catch my drift." Dago chuckles at the house bit, since he's grown up around you it's been easier to tell perverted stories of your escapades with your harem. He in turn told you a few romps with Sonata. All in all it was interested with the stories you two created.
"How's Sonata?" You asked putting down your pencil and looking at Dago.
"Since she's moved out of the house and in the castle she's been enjoying it, I have too sleeping next to the mare I love has just been fantastic!" He cheerfully admits.
"Well I hope you two have the time of your lives, from what I've learned from romance books love is like a drug. Once you hit it you want more and one ain't enough." Dago who seemed to be smirking he snickered as he heard you say romance.
"You read those?" He said laughing his butt off.
"My sister sent me a book and I read a few chapters not that big of a deal." That only made Dago laugh harder as he always pictured you as a tough guy, but seeing you as this made him laugh.
"It's always fun talking to you Aiden, I don't know why I don't do it as often."
"Maybe because you're always with Sonata anyway you got anything planned for tonight?" You asked curiously as you laid back on your chair.
"A date with Sonata, it's our anniversary." He says smiling.
"Ah cool where are you taking her?" You asked
"The Emerald Isle."
"Fancy. Only place me and my girls can have fun at is The Rabbit's Playhouse." You said with a chuckle.
"Isn't that the place you took me for my birthday last year? Fun times, I didn't know a place for adults to play like kids existed."
The Rabbit's Playhouse was a arcade slash bar and grill where adults could play arcade machines, and generally act like kids.
"I got everything planned out though I plan on giving Sonata this." Taking out a black felt covered box he opened the top to reveal a diamond bracelet that had a few rubies and sapphires on the beautiful and extremely shiny jewelry."
"Cliché route with it delivered with the champagne bottle or inside your pocket?" You asked chuckling at the prospect of having Dago being romantic.
"Option two. Can't wait for later tonight." He happily states with a chuckle.
"Though I feel bad for ya know convincing Sonata to move out with me, I kinda feel as if I separated a family."
"Don't worry about that Dago, she's doing fine with you and now that she's out of the house you won't have to leave the castle just to see her. Anyway you should be happy for them I mean they're performing in real theaters instead of in the street, they earn a lot more money that way." He gives you a solid nod, but you can still tell he was upset. Though there wasn't much you can do to completely happy.
"Anyway I'm going back to the castle and get ready I'll see you later." Dago got off one of the desks table tops and exited your room, you returned to grading homework once more it was quiet and the sun began to lower the classroom slowly became darker and darker.
Rising from your seat you approached the light switch only for the door to open with force.
"Twilight what're you doing?" You asked glaring at her for barging in. Twilight wore a short purple plaided skirt with what looked like a white dress top a suit vest along with a purple tie. She looked pretty much the way she always looked.
"Sorry Aiden, but I need someone I can trust there's something that you and I can only do." You were confused by Twilight who crazed talking which was extremely uncommon.
"I tried to stop her Aiden I really did, but she wouldn't listen." Barb exclaimed with a sigh as she stepped into the room and walking over to Twilight.
"Twilight calm down and tell me what's going on." You said in a calm demeanor. She let out a soft breath of air before nodding and sitting on one of your students desk.
"Do you remember an old foals tale called The Mare in The Moon?"
"The Mare in The Moon? Hmmm let's see it was about from what I remember, a princess who turned into a jealous tyrant trying to make the night eternal until another princess from another kingdom used six powerful stones called The Elements of Harmony. Each of those stone represented some kind of virtue that someone with a pure heart possessed, there was Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and one final element that wasn't discovered. I got a question about your logic though these items are magical artifacts these would most likely be activated by powerful or chosen ponies what can we do as a student and teacher?"
"You're an expert at Floral magic you can easily find where the elements are thanks to the location I could happily provide you." Twilight smiles her rather cute and serious smile.
"Okay then tell me where exactly do you think the location of the elements are?" Twilight stopped and began to think she had no clue where they were and not a single hint whatsoever.
"So you've got nothing? Twi, I'm not not a omnipotent being I can't just show you where the elements are hell I have no idea what you're doing."
"I've been researching for a few months and found out that Nightmare Moon is coming tomorrow to bring out an eternal night, I've tried to tell Celestia but she wouldn't listen. I want to protect her so you and I are the only ponies that can convey that message." Twilight informed with a serious expression.
"Okay let's use a realistic scenario so we manage to find and get the elements and we go up against Nightmare Moon, sure you have advanced magic but magic can only take you so far before you tire yourself out. Plus the two of us don't have any sort of combat training. Are we just gonna throw flowers and use purple beams of death on her? Hell the elements might not work when we want them to, they'll probably be drained out of the magic the moment we need them. Look if you think this our only chance from preventing a disaster then I'm all for it, but we have to have a plan." You informed placing your hands on her shoulders as she looks into your eyes.
"Just give me until tomorrow I'll have a plan just make sure you're ready." You let out a sigh as Twilight exited your room with Barb in tow, looking at the homework left over you decided not even bother and leave it until tomorrow. Looking at your phone you see that it's almost 7:30 P.M and you need to get home before Aria and Adagio chew you out.
Leaving the classroom you began your way out of the school and towards the school grounds.
"Aiden wait!" Turning you spotted Celestia approaching you she seemed happy, but with a somewhat upset manner on her.
"Oh Princess what can I do for you?" You asked with curiosity.
"You made a project out of my own volition correct?" She asks
"Yeah my students are really excited to show everyone in the city their skills." She gives you a nod and looks at the sky.
"Aiden I need you to go to Ponyville tonight, it'll be a short ride but you need to go tonight." Celestia seemed pushy you not following her orders might get her agitated and that's something you don't need, but you needed an answer as to why.
"I'd be willing to go but I have to know why?" You asked
"That's a complicated question I just want you to organize a few things in Ponyville, just go okay." You looked at her with confusion only to sigh and nod.
"Sure, but what about the ceremony here in Canterlot? I can't attend if I'm in Ponyville." She smiles at you and hugs you which surprised you, Celestia hasn't hugged you in over ten years.
"Why are you hugging me?" You asked chuckling as you felt a breeze of nostalgia.
"I just felt that it was right, ever since you found out about Dago I felt as if a rift has been split between us. I remember when you were younger and always followed me around, too scared to talk to others and had difficulty transferring to a new area in your life. As you got older I started punishing you of the stupidest of things and I felt as if you'd hate me, I don't want that I want to start caring for you just like the old days." For some reason you felt tears on your cheeks, sure Celestia's been busy with Dago and the country she rarely spent time with you, but you would never hate the mare who taught to control your powerful magic.
"Celestia I would never hate you, you're important you're like a second mom. You may think that but you'd stupid I love you like I do to my mom." You felt Celestia's grip become stronger as she teared up.
"I'm so glad you're my student Aiden." She says tearing up slightly.
"Hehe yeah look I'll go later tonight, but I gotta get home." Celestia let you go wiping the tears of her face and smiling at you.
Turning from her you walked out if the school grounds, you care for those you met even those who you haven't seen in years like Lotus, Aloe, and Vinyl. No matter how far you are or no matter how long you haven't seen each for, you'd care for them and maybe even see them tonight.
Later...
On the train to a Ponyville it was silent you decided to just go not bothering to change your clothes as you were only staying for a day or so.
Closing your eyes you laid your head back slightly hearing the clinks of the wheels.
As you closed your eyes for relaxation you visualized a dark void with a single light in the middle of the large room, opening your eyes you clutched your head shaking away the odd feeling you had.
"Help me." You heard a soft voice ring out through your head looking around the train you looked around the train to see ponies minding their own business they didn't seem like the joking type as they stayed quiet throughout the train ride.
Taking out your phone you rose from your seat and walked towards the bathroom, calling Twilight to tell her you were going to Ponyville.
"Hello?" Twilight asked with a yawn.
"Hey Twi I'm on my way to Ponyville, is there anything about the nightmare tale that knows for sure where the elements are located?" You asked
"Um let me check my journal." Waiting for Twilight to reply you heard her flip through her papers before stopping and reading to herself.
"What I wrote in my journal is that the elements are located near the Everfree Forest. It doesn't specifically where the element reside, but just near the forest. Hey why are you on your way to Ponyville all of a sudden?" She asks
"Celestia asked me to go so I decided after school I'd go but I got backed up on the work so I have to go right now. Hey I'm gonna look in the forest for the elements."
"Aiden, I don't think you should be looking for them this late, who knows what might be in the forest." She informs worriedly
"Don't worry Twi I got my powers with the large flower bulb I can make I'll go to the end of the forest with ease. It's like your teleporting magic, instead a huge flower devours me and digs it's way to wherever I want it to be." You heard Twilight sigh she was worried and you got that, but you had to do this in order to help.
"Please be careful Aiden, and call me as soon as you're near the forest."
"Sure." Hanging up your phone you left the bathroom and walked back to your seat, looking out the window you looked at your tired reflection, but as you did another reflection appeared behind you.
It was a mare her mane a dark and mystical blue, her coat was a light cream with a few freckles on the bridge of her nose.
"Are you okay?" She asks her voice it sounded like Rarity's the refined yet country tone of it was oddly soothing.
"Oh uh yeah I'm fine." You say turning to her though the window didn't really show you much aside from her facial features, but she had really big breasts. They were large and you were embarrassed to even look at her, though you didn't show it you simply looked forward tiredly staring at the back of a leather seat.
"Are you sure you look tired. Do you need anything?" She asks looking at you.
"Nah I'm fine, so what's your name?"
"Milky Way." She says with a smile, turning your head you spotted her bright smile as she seemed to shrug quietly.
"Aiden Hart." You smiled back at her before looking at the window once more.
"So Milky what're you doing going to Ponyville? Some business or what?"
"Actually it was in Manehatten, I'm going back to Trottingham."
"Trottingham? Damn you were really far from home, how long were you gone for?" She begins to think and taps her chin before snapping her fingers.
"A week." You gave her a nod and looked at your phone it was 11:00 P.M. in the distant you could see Ponyville, the windmills and the houses of everyone in town.
"Well looks like this is my stop." Rising from your seat you looked at Milky and idly tossed your phone in the air catching it with a single swift hand.
"Hey can I get your number?" You asked bluntly.
"Wow you work fast why so sudden?" She asks
"Better late then never."
"I suppose that's true." Taking your phone she began to put her number and gave it back to you.
"You better call me." You gave her a small nod as the train began to stop in Ponyville's train station.
Waiting near the exit you looked at the station you once played near waiting for Vinyl as she came back from her grandparents home back in Manehatten. Closing your eyes you began to reminisce.
13 years ago...
"Look Aiden the train!" Vinyl ran towards the train station platform and sat on the bench, her hands underneath her chin as you ran with her both Lotus and Aloe were with you.
Vinyl wore a baby blue plaid skirt with a short sleeved dress shirt that had a long black tie that wasn't really tied properly.
Lotus and Aloe wore sun dresses that were either pink or blue both had a picture of their CutieMarks on the left side of the dresses, they both had sun hats that had ribbons tied on the sides.
"It's a train so what?" You asked shrugging as Vinyl looked longingly at the train.
"I think Vinyl wants to go somewhere." Aloe pointed out as she looked at a map of the train's stop.
"Where exactly would you like to go?" Lotus asked curiously
"Anywhere." She says with excitement as she looks at a map of Equestria at the trains stops. Shifting through your pockets you removed 10 bits.
"I got 10 bits." You said with a shrug.
"We have 10 bits." The sisters say in unison
"30 bits! Alright I got uh um 2 bits." Vinyl sighs and looks down
"2 bits? What did you spend your allowance on?"
"Music. MC Railman just came out with a new album and I needed it!" Vinyl said with a drawn out sigh. MC Railman was a DJ who made all kinda of music mostly electrictronica and dubstep.
"You really like his music anyway 32 bits isn't going to take us far, unless you wanna go to Trottingham." Vinyl smiled and nodded
"Yeah let's go there! Hold your butts friends we're going to Trottingham!" She happily proclaims standing on the bench.
5 minutes later...
"Why not!" Vinyl shouted at The Ticket Handler.
"You kids need a parent with ya! I can't let you on without an adult." He shouts back as you all were pushed back slightly letting the adults and kids accompany them on the train.
"Man it sucks being kids we can't do anything." Vinyl complained
"Well we are just children there's nothing much we can do about that." Aloe points out making Vinyl sigh further.
"C'mon let's just go and get a milkshake or something." You say to Vinyl who sighed even deeper. Both Lotus and Aloe held your hands and walked alongside you towards Sugarcube Corner, Vinyl reluctantly followed from behind angry that you all couldn't go anywhere remotely better.
Later...
Vinyl sipped on her milkshake quietly drinking the delicious drink.
"C'mon Vinyl cheer up! We can always beg our parents to go on a trip during summer break or winter break." She sighs and looks up to you a small smile appearing as she nods.
"I guess we can try. Thanks at least you all pitched in to help, you guys are the best." She says giggling as she gives you back the rest of the bits left over after buying the milkshakes.
Current Day...
"Thank you for riding with us we hope to see you again." The train stopped as you came back to the real world stepping off the train, you walked towards a bench placing your hand remembering seeing the trains come and go with Vinyl, Lotus, and Aloe.
"Alright time to go to the forest." Letting out a sigh you walked towards the town's exit and approached the dirt trail leaving town temporarily.
Later...
"Hey Twi I'm near the forest I'm gonna go in and try to find the elements alright." You said in a call with Twilight.
"Aiden maybe you should abandon the expedition, you don't have to go-" Your call ended as you tried calling again only for it to turn off.
"What the hell? Can't think about it now." Just as you were about to enter you felt as if someone was watching you, quickly turning around you saw nobody there. You were a little freaked out, but you couldn't really stop now you had to keep going on.
You walked over to the entrance of the forest, you closed and let out a sigh and began to feel your body become as light as air. Opening your eyes you saw your body slowly turn into pollen as it did you felt at peace and begin your trek towards the elements.
You felt an extremely strong presence of magic near the edge of the forest. With luck you'll find the elements.
Later...
Stepping forward to the castle ruins you looked to see the bridge still there, it looked old but still useable. Once you had past the bridge you entered the castle to see it over grown by vines and other floral assortments.
"Wow this looks amazing." You said allowed as you walked through the castle it all became more and more apparent that the castle use to belong to Celestia and an unnamed alicorn. There were banners that were over two destroyed and deprecated thrones, Celestia's was obvious a rising sun the other was the moon in the center of the banner, It was a mystic blue.
Clutching your head your breathing became erratic as you walked over to a fallen stone and sat down letting your head stop spinning.
The name Luna and Nightmare Moon rang through your mind, shaking off the eeriness of the names. You continued on trying find the elements throughout the castle the only things you found were bugs and plants overgrown and nothing much else aside from extremely old crap you didn't really care for.
Though you entered one of the tower rooms, you saw a dusty desk approaching it you found a journal who belong to the second alicorn. Her name was Luna opening the book you flipped through the pages and began to read.
1027,5,18
Mommy and daddy told me and Celly that they'd be leaving on a trip, they told Celly she was in charge while they were gone. Celly looked funny as she had surprised look on her face. Teehee she always does that face when she doesn't understand anything, but she's my sister when mommy and daddy left Celly hugged and told me that I can trust my big sister. I nodded and hugged her back, but something was off when I left the room I went back to get my favorite blanket to see Celly crying on her throne. I wanted to know what happen but I didn't want to bother.
1027,7,16
Celly's a big fat liar, tonight at dinner she told me that mommy and daddy won't be coming home, she said that they left in charge until I'm old to know what's right from wrong. Mommy and daddy are coming and I'll be laughing when I tell them about Celly's lie. Flipping through the pages you read more and more of this filly's life.
You couldn't stay any longer in the castle and decided leave, but not before taking the journal with you. Looking through Luna's room it was historical gold mine, it was amazing what ponies thought were the truth years ago.
Like how the world was flat like a map and that the sun revolved around the earth. One thing you found was pure amazement a box that was locked with a key, you tried to pry open, but to no avail. You managed to find key between a few books wedged inside a bookcase removing it from the bookcase, you put the key on the box's keyhole and opened it.
Inside revealed a small collar with the name Pixel on it. It looked as if it belong to a pet. Putting the collar back inside the box you took it with you also knowing more about this mysterious alicorn can work.
Leaving the room you held up your hand and began to search for the elements once more, but it was difficult the energy moved all over place sending you almost everywhere in the castle. Though you finally found the source of the powerful, but all you found was stone tablets.
"Nothing in here maybe I should go back." You mumbled to yourself
Later...
Exiting the castle you heard a loud howl nearby, looking around you spotted a wolf like figure behind you. It began sniffing the air and managed to find your scent. It let out another howl as two wolf like apparitions appear beside the wolf figure.
"Shit!" You shouted as you ran towards the bridge, the wolves saw that and ran towards you. As you ran away from them you felt the bridge buckle underneath you, your breathing became heavier as the wolf's paw smashed one of the several wooden planks nearly hitting your leg.
You couldn't concentrate your magic that well. Finally nearing the end of the bridge the wolf also caught up to you and slashed your leg. You let out a shout of pain and tumbled to the ground clutching your leg in pain.
Just then the bridge collapsed as the two behind the main wolf fell to their hopeful death. The wolf growled and roared at you biting down on your left arm you felt sharp teeth rip into your flesh, shouting in pain a warm feeling rose from your chest to your hand as a wave of heat fired from your hand.
Blasting the wolf made of timber away from you, it didn't kill it but merely subdued it. Shaking it's head you took that chance to run you tried using your pollen to zoom your way out, but only in short bursts.
The wolf finally rose from it's dazed state and sprinted after you, you kept using your short bursts teleportation tactic.
Finally out of the forest the wolf howled and stopped near the entrance. You were panting like crazy looking around the area, you approached a wooden fence and jumped over it, only to fall on your face as you crawled towards another wooden post your back to it.
As a small portion of pollen appeared on your hand as you slathered it on your blood arm it only stuck to your bloody arm and legs. Without the sun your wounds wouldn't heal.
You felt dizzy as you slowly closed your eyes before passing out you heard a gasp and a shout.

So the pollen burst trick.
Think infamous Second Son when Delson uses his smoke powers to burst through smoke vents to get to higher platforms. It's like that.
And there are two YouTube references in this chapter aloe find them and I'll give you an internet cookie.
