Big Mac was about to enter the building when he remembered he was about to enter a school so he spit the hay strand and cleaned his hooves before crossing the door.  Inside it, Cheerilee was on her desk sorting some papers while Apple Bloom was sitting on a stool in a corner, facing the wall.

"Howdy." he said.

"Oh, Big Mac. Glad to see you." he merely nodded. "Sorry to make you come here but I´m afraid got herself in problems, she is punished for punching a classmate."

Big Mac sighed. "Ah talk with Mr. Rich ´bout it."

"Oh this time it wasn´t Diamond Tiara. She actually hit Scootaloo."

Big Mac raised an eyebrow, that was a first. His sister and his friends were used to argue and such but they never actually hurt each other.

"I don´t know what they were fighting over this time but Apple Bloom punched Scootaloo on the face and, you know how strong we earth ponies can be so, she fell over and she accidentally broke a leg. It was a disaster. Her parents actually came all the way from Cloudsdale to pick her up." Cheerilee explained, looking exhausted. Big Mac looked over at his sister who remained still, facing the bright colored wall.

"I don´t like doing this but I have no other choice but to suspend her for at least a week. I´m sorry."

"Ah understand." and that was all he said. He moved over to Apple Bloom, who turned over upon seeing his brother shadow. Her eyes were a little red, showing she had been crying. Big Mac didn´t said anything, he just turned over and Apple Bloom soon followed him, saying goodbye at Cheerilee before leaving.

They made their way back at the farm in silence, the sun already disappearing behind the horizon, bathing the town in the purple light of dusk.

"Ah´m sorry." she quietly said.

Big Mac said nothing.

"It wasn´t mah fault. Scootaloo started it." she tried to jsutify herself.

Big Mac said nothing.

"She´s all day teasing me and driving me crazy, Apple Bloom and SPike sitting on a tree! Ah hate her! Ah just wanted her to shut up!"

This actually made Big Mac turn over. "That´s no reason to hit her."

"B-but what is she so mean? Why does she keeps saying those things? In front of everypony! And now the entire school thinks ah´m a dragon lover!"

"Where did yah learn that word?"

"Silver Spoon called me that."

Big Mac sighed, he now had another parent to talk to. But right now he had to take care of his crying sister.

"He´s just mah friend, honest! Why does everypony misinpretenses- misispretent- no, miss..."

"Misinterpret." he said while he gently patted her head. "Ah understand. Ah really do. Ah know how it feels, that everybody assumes something even if it isn´t true. Even if there´s nothing more than friendship."

Apple Bloom looked up at the gentle smile of her brother,a bit confused. "What yah mean?"

Big Mac simply smiled. Nothingn. Let´s go home. Wanna ride yah back?"

"A-ah´m not a baby anymore!"

Big Mac simply waited for the filly to jump over. As he walked back to the farm, he thought that he would like to ask Cheerilee to go see a game like they used to do when they were younger. He missed those days.
